Skies over New York remain gridlocked
Business traveler Jerry Green loves New York. It's the flying in and out of there that drives him crazy.
"I've had incredible delays," says Green, a consultant from St. Petersburg, Fla., who visits New York on business at least eight times a year. "I remember one night we didn't get there until 3 a.m., and I had to be in front of a customer at 8. I travel everywhere, every week, and it's the only place I go that I truly dread."
For airlines, the skies over the New York City metropolitan area are the most sought after in the U.S.— and the most crowded. With roughly a third of all flights in the nation flying to, from or through the New York area, congestion there can lead to rippling delays that ground planes and frustrate passengers from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.
Recognizing the critical role New York plays, federal and local officials are taking a series of steps to keep air traffic moving. New flight lanes are being carved in the skies, runways are being widened and limits are maintained on the number of flights that can take off and land at the region's three major airports: LaGuardia, JFK and Newark.
Work also continues on the satellite-based navigation system known as NextGen that's ultimately supposed to make room for more planes to fly safely in tight space across the nation's air traffic network.
"We're a place people want to visit, we're a place where people want to do business," says Susan Baer, aviation director for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the three major airports. "There's a lot going on in a very limited space. There are things that we've done that have made a difference and that we'll continue to do to make a difference."
Despite the efforts, LaGuardia, JFK and Newark registered some of the highest rates of delays in the country last year. LaGuardia and JFK sit so close to each other that the takeoffs and landings at one can affect departures and arrivals at the other. And unlike their counterparts in places such as Dallas/Fort Worth or Denver, the New York airports have no real room to expand, meaning, some industry experts say, New York's gridlock won't disappear any time soon.
There's been progress, says Stephen Van Beek of LeighFisher, a management consulting firm specializing in transportation. "But suffice it to say that New York in particular, because of its incredible level of demand, (and) shortage of capacity, you're dealing with a structural issue that's not going away."
4,100 flights a day
Every day, within 15 miles of the Statue of Liberty, roughly 4,100 flights make their way toward their destinations, according to the Port Authority.
For U.S. airlines, the New York metro area is the biggest moneymaker and most popular starting point and destination in the country. In 2010, U.S. carriers took in roughly $16 billion from flights to and from New York — more than twice the revenue made from flights to and from Chicago, the next-largest market, says Steve Lott, spokesman for Airlines for America, the airline industry's trade group.
New York also is a key portal for the all-important business traveler, who tends to spend more to fly at the last moment, often in the more expensive business or first class. "It represents one of the biggest propositions for business travelers who tend to generate a revenue premium," Lott says. "That's why it's important."
In a play for the lucrative customers, Delta announced in December that it would beef up its presence at LaGuardia, turning it into a new domestic hub. The world's second-biggest carrier will be flying more than 100 new flights and heading to 29 new destinations by July after swapping takeoff and landing slots with US Airways which, in turn, will increase service at Reagan Washington National.
"Our customers … want lots of service to New York," says Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter. "That meant having service to as many cities as it made sense to serve non-stop and it also meant having a large presence at LaGuardia, because, particularly for the business travelers, that is the most convenient airport."
But the heavy demand for a stake in the New York region has led to congestion. When combined with bad weather, which is the primary cause of delays, flights can be thrown off schedule from coast to coast.
Last year, JFK, LaGuardia and Newark ranked among the bottom of 29 major U.S. airports for having flights land on time. Through November, the last month for which the Transportation Department has totals, Newark was the worst, with 34% of its flights landing late. The best was Salt Lake City, where 13% arrived late. The three airports' record for having flights take off on time isn't much better. Newark again ranked last, with more than a quarter of its flights, 27%, taking off late.
Delays in the New York area are currently responsible for roughly 33% of the flight hold-ups across the U.S., the Federal Aviation Administration says.
"We're pushing as much capacity as we can through congested facilities," Van Beek, the transportation consultant, says. "Bad weather, a maintenance issue, a deer on the runway — anytime one of those things happens, it's almost like a hair trigger we have to getting into congestion and delays. We have very little buffer to protect us."
Green, the frequent business traveler, says he once had to cancel a business meeting in Manhattan because of an air traffic jam that left him waiting hours to take off from Chicago's O'Hare airport.
"There was delay, delay, delay," Green recalled. "I can't afford to be showing up late when I'm charging people these fees."
Green says he often takes an earlier flight Sunday to avoid a flight that could be tardy, making him late for a Monday morning presentation in New York. And he occasionally bypasses New York airports altogether, flying into Philadelphia or Baltimore and hopping an Amtrak train to Manhattan.
"It's pretty extreme, but I've done it," Green says of flying into Baltimore to take a train. "You've still got two more hours before you get to New York, but what the heck. You'll probably be delayed two hours any way you slice it."
Airlines don't like delays either, Lott says.
"When airplanes are sitting on the ground, they're not making money," he says. "There is no silver-bullet fix for the congestion faced in New York airports. Our hope is to keep the ball moving forward … to push the FAA to keep the momentum going on these incremental improvements, because the airlines that have big operations in New York airports know even small improvements can yield not only customer service benefits, but financial savings, as well."
Putting a cap on things
Congestion has been recognized as a major problem in New York since the 1960s. The FAA has long capped the number of flights allowed to take off and land. The current cap, 71 scheduled flights per hour during peak times at LaGuardia, and 81 per hour at Newark and JFK, are in effect until October 2013.
Because of the limits, Delta's new flights at LaGuardia will fill spots vacated by US Airways. Delta also will operate larger planes than the turboprops flown by US Airways. Carrying more passengers in fewer aircraft will free airspace, airline and industry observers say.
The FAA also has begun untangling the routes in the air. In October, it created a new lane that separates traffic flying from Europe through New England and toward Washington, D.C., from New York-area traffic heading elsewhere. Federal officials also have created more paths to the higher altitudes that jets fly from New York to the western part of the U.S.
Redesigning the airspace will save roughly 12 million minutes of delay each year and cut carriers' fuel costs by $285 million, the FAA says.
Other changes have been made to battle gridlock on the ground.
A runway at JFK that is one of the longest in North America was widened and rebuilt in 2010. A ground management program put in place while the runway was closed will be expanded to LaGuardia and later, Newark, the Port Authority's Baer says. The program reduces the number of planes left idling on a taxiway because of a delayed takeoff, allowing passengers to wait in the gate area.
The Port Authority also is trying to steer traffic away from the major hubs. It's talking to several international low-cost carriers about flying into the smaller Stewart International airport about 60 miles north of Manhattan in Orange County, N.Y. An expansion of its terminal is scheduled to begin in a year.
"About 10 million people live within one hour's drive of Stewart," Baer says. "We're hoping to continue to grow passenger traffic there to serve that region and provide a reasonable alternative."
The major airports cannot grow much more. They're surrounded by water and developed land. But the Port Authority is studying adding more runways. One option might be tearing down outdated buildings to make space, Baer says.
Others in the travel industry say there are other steps that could be taken, not the least of which is further shrinking the number of flights.
"The problem is not going to be solved until or unless these schedules are going to be reduced," says Kevin Mitchell, head of the Business Travel Coalition, which represents business travel managers.
The airlines and airports disagree.
"Capping demand is not the right long-term strategy," says Lott of the airlines trade group. "Instead we should look for ways to expand capacity and efficiency."
Cutting flights could also ding the wallets of passengers and New York-area residents, Baer says. The airports spark $60 billion in economic activity a year and 500,000 direct and indirect jobs, she says.
Low-cost carriers such as Southwest and JetBlue only minimally serve the area now, Baer says. Reducing the number of slots would make it harder for new carriers to grab a foothold in the market.
High-speed trains along the East Coast could help clear the skies, says Adie Tomer, a senior research analyst at the Brookings Institution who studies aviation and other modes of travel.
"We need to think about how we invest in other modes of transportation so they can complement the aviation system," says Tomer. High-speed rail service along the East Coast "could get even more flights out of the air," Tomer says. "It's definitely something that's an alternative."
Ultimately, many in the travel industry are banking on NextGen to have the greatest effect on congestion. The "Next Generation" of air traffic control, satellites and global positioning will replace radar to track flights, allowing planes to take more direct routes and fly closer together in tight airspace.
Pieces of the system have been put in place. But the full rollout, along with equipping control towers and planes, will take several more years and millions of dollars in investment by taxpayers and the airlines.

Lakers stun Clippers in opener
Pau Gasol and Steve Nash watched the entire fourth quarter from the bench. Kobe Bryant sat one row behind them in a black shirt and suit.
The Lakers' three veteran stars were spectators for one remarkable show put on by five Lakers reserves who weren't ready to cede Los Angeles supremacy to their Staples Center rivals.
Xavier Henry scored a career-high 22 points, Jordan Farmar added 16, and the Lakers surged past the Los Angeles Clippers in the final minutes for a 116-103 victory in both clubs' season opener Tuesday night.
By the time the Lakers' reserves were done with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, coach Doc Rivers' Clippers debut was wrecked -- and so were many preconceptions about the Lakers' prospects this season. The Lakers' 76 bench points were the most in club history since March 1985.
"It's not a bad thing to be the underdog sometimes," said Jodie Meeks, who scored nine of his 13 points in the fourth quarter. "No expectations. We go out there and play hard. What's the worst that can happen? We lose, and people say we're no good?"
The Lakers' 41-point fourth quarter was downright stunning, but the identities of the players responsible for this exciting, free-flowing opener were even more jaw-dropping.
"Mike (D'Antoni) did a great thing: He didn't bring his starters back in," Rivers said. "There was a point where I was thinking: `Please bring them back in.'"
A team that was 28th in the NBA in reserve scoring last season got outstanding bench play from a five-man unit, including three guys who weren't even on the team last season: Wesley Johnson, two-time NBA champion Farmar, and Henry, the former first-round pick who burned out in Memphis and New Orleans.
A new season is a chance for a fresh start, and Henry needs one just as much as the Lakers. He scored 12 points in the fourth quarter while leading a 28-8 run.
BEST OF TIMESBird, Jordan and Magic are among our top 10 players in NBA history.
"We're a deep team, and people don't think we're that good," Henry said. "That always fuels us. People are saying we're going to finish 12th or whatever, but we have a great group of guys who go out there and play hard. We're young. We're athletic. We get after it."
The long-established hoops hierarchy in Los Angeles flipped earlier this year: The Clippers won a division title and became veteran championship contenders, while the Lakers lost their stars to injury or free agency and prepared for a long rebuilding process.
At least in the opener, the Lakers flipped it again -- and embarrassed Rivers in the process.
"We were not ready tonight," said Rivers, the longtime Celtics coach who hopes to push the Clippers into title contention. "(The Lakers) have heard for probably the last two months how good (the Clippers) were going to be ... so you knew that they were going to play like this was the world championship -- with that type of energy. And I thought we never matched it. Everything they did was harder than us and more physical than us. They destroyed us on the glass and destroyed us in turnovers. So it was a good lesson for us."
Griffin scored 19 points and Paul had 15 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who beat the Lakers four times last season on the way to their first Pacific Division title. DeAndre Jordan added 17 points and 11 rebounds.
"You've got to give it to them. They outplayed us," Griffin said. "They did a good job. They were ready. They turned up the heat in the fourth quarter, and we didn't respond."
Gasol scored 11 of his 15 points in the first quarter, and Jordan Hill added 12 points and eight rebounds as the Lakers improved to 42-24 on opening night, the best winning percentage in NBA history.
SEE MY POINTWho's the best point guard in NBA history? Magic? Isiah? The Big O? Here are our top 10.
After the offseason losses of Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace, not much is expected from the Lakers. Yet they thrived for a night without Bryant, who missed a season opener for the first time since 2006. The fourth-leading scorer in NBA history hasn't returned to practice this fall after tearing his Achilles tendon late last season.
The Clippers led 57-55 at halftime while hitting nearly 59 percent of their shots. They pushed their lead to eight points in the third quarter, but the Lakers went ahead 86-83 with 9:06 to play on Meeks' three-point play.
"Oh, man, it seemed like it just happened so fast," Paul said. "Those guys executed their game plan, and when you're missing somebody like Kobe, you feed off that energy."
NOTES: The evening began with a moment of silence for Bill Sharman, who died last week at 87. He coached the 1971-72 Lakers to their first championship in Los Angeles, winning an NBA-record 33 consecutive games along the way. ... The Clippers won their final seven games of the regular season last spring. ... Floyd Mayweather Jr., Diddy, Yasiel Puig, Tommy Lasorda and Flea attended the game.

Why are people thinking that the voters wanted an all-male council? I'm sure there's a few who still vote with the "old boys club" mentality, but I suspect a lot of people either did vote for at least one female candidate or simply didn't see the quality when compared with some of the others who put their names forward. I know I didn't check genders when voting. I did research and read into what each candidate was saying in the media, etc. Anyone that thinks a female should be there just for being a female needs to examine their place in politics in the first place.

dzeko has been saving city's ass of the bench man. City's problem is that each player has a different style and they all can't play together. Look at when berbatov went to mancheter united. He had a completely different style than anyone else on that team and he was complete **** . Now look at VP he fits in there perfectly and hes scoring goals and setting up others. Its not about how good the player is, its about how well they fit into the team

Hearst eyes booming luxury market with Town & Country launch
Hearst Magazines is hoping to further tap into the buoyant print market for luxury brands with the launch of a UK version of its venerable US title, Town & Country.
Hearst eyes booming luxury market with Town & Country launch
The debut June issue of the magazine hits UK newsstands tomorrow with the promise of providing "an insider's view of high society, high fashion and high culture".
The Hearst magazine has been a bastion of US publishing since 1846, and it is hoped it can replicate its success this side of the Atlantic as the luxury sector continues to outpace other print markets.
Meribeth Parker, group publishing director of Town & Country as well as Harper's Bazaar and Elle, told Media Week: "2013 was our strongest year to date for our luxury brands, with double-digit growth in ad revenues.
"Tomorrow's launch of Town & Country continues to expand our strong luxury portfolio. It is an extraordinary brand that will provide our partners with all the benefits of our unrivalled scale and reach to affluent, discerning readers."
Hearst is banking on Town & Country offering new opportunities for advertisers across fashion, beauty, jewellery, watches and accessories, as well as opening up categories such as property, cars, personal finance, country and sporting pursuits, education and wealth management.
The launch issue has 62 pages of advertising, including brands Dior, Estée Lauder, Louis Vuitton, Rolex and Tiffany.
The British edition will be produced by the team behind Harper's Bazaar, led by editor-in-chief, Justine Picardie, but Parker said a recruitment process is underway to find new talent to work on the title.
Hearst plans for Town & Country to publish two editions in 2014 before becoming a quarterly publication in 2015.
The magazine will aim to reveal a broad cultural landscape, and promises to reflect the UK's "New Establishment" – from Stella McCartney to the Prince of Wales; Roman Abramovich to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Editor Picardie said: "British Town & Country will have a unique voice that is celebratory yet also original and authoritative. It will offer its readers an intelligent interpretation of the meaning and manners of modern society, with sophisticated design, brilliant writing, literary panache and memorable photography."
With a cover price of £5.95, Town & Country launches with an initial print run of 60,000 and will be supported by marketing activity within Hearst Magazines UK titles.

Nettle season is pretty much over but the memory of these delicious little mouthfuls will be with me for a long time. I look forward to next Spring but in the meantime, will try them with spinach, which is plentiful in the garden right now. Or arugula. Or a bunch of fresh green herbs. Or kale!! It's a whole new world.
I've wanted to try making gnocchi or gnudi for awhile, but it seemed like a lot of work and unfamiliar territory. I'm really glad I got over it. Gnudi (made with ricotta cheese) are supposed to be less work than gnocchi (made with potatoes). I wouldn't know, but I do know that this is a particularly simple recipe to follow that yields incredible results.
Pan frying these little nuggets in brown butter elevates them to art. I used summer savory because we have a mound of it in the herb garden; it over-winters well in the ground and is one of the first herbs ready to use for spring. It tastes like a combination of thyme and sage, but has a little bite that mellows out once it's cooked.
Adapted from Fat of the Land
2 cups ricotta, strained overnight in cheesecloth
3/4 cup grated parmesan
2 eggs
1 cup blanched, squeezed, and chopped nettles
3/4 cup flour, plus more as needed and for rolling
1/8 tsp nutmeg, preferably freshly ground
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp fresh savory, or thyme, or sage, chopped
1. Add ricotta to a large bowl with parmesan, eggs, nettles, nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
2. Slowly fold in flour. Mixture should be damp and tacky without sticking to hands; keep adding a little more flour at a time until you can form a wet ball in your hand without it sticking to your skin.
3. Sprinkle work surface generously with flour. Take a handful of gnudi mixture and roll in flour until thoroughly coated. Roll it out into a snake a half-inch to one-inch diameter thick, whatever your preference.
4. Cut into little pillows and shape each one as desired. Or go rustic and leave them alone. Set aside on floured plate or cutting board.
5. Boil gnudi in batches in salted water. They're done when they float to the surface, which should only take a minute. Use a slotted spoon to remove from boiling water and place on wax paper on a cookie sheet. Reserve until ready to pan fry. Or eat them just like this, or with your favorite sauce. Be careful though: It's hard to stop popping them in your mouth once you start.
6. Make brown butter: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cover with a splatter guard or mesh strainer to avoid a mess from popping (butter has some water content, so it sometimes pops as it browns). Allow to cook undisturbed for 8-10 minutes, until it's golden and smells like toffee. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
7. When butter has browned, add gnudi and savory in batches, leaving plenty of room between each nugget. Turn each one to brown all sides and let the savory crisp up a bit; it's a texture and taste bomb.
8. Top with grated parmesan and serve with a fresh garden salad for a delightful spring meal.
Leftover boiled gnudi can be refrigerated for a few days.

Please Note:
Only few of our oils are organic and we will not be able to give organic certificate.
We can give lab test reports only if the order per oil is at least 25 or 30 kg. drum.
Don't get fooled by vendors who claim all of their oils being organic by giving fake certificates.
For details like Botanical Names,Country of Origin,Distillation type and Source used
click below.
What are Essential oils:
Essential oils or 'essences' as they are also called, are highly concentrated substances extracted from various parts of aromatic plants and trees.They are usually captured by steam distillation,a process whose origins can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia. Unlike ordinary vegetable oils and plant essences are highly volatile and will evaporate left in the open air
Analysis of Oils
The chemistry of essential oils is complex.The numerous analytical data, which we take into consideration for each of our Essential Oils are:
Specific Gravity
Refractive Index
Optical RotationComplete/Principal Chemical Constituents.(Gas Liquid Chromatography)
Specific Gravity:
The ratio of the weight of a given volume of oil at 20C to the weight of an equal volume of water at 20C. Of all the physiochemical properties, the Specific Gravity has been reported most frequently in the literature.
Refractive Index:
The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction of a beam of Sodium light passing from the air into the substance.Optical Rotation:
To determine the rotation of polarized light through a liquid to establish its optical activity whether dextrorotatory (bends light to the right) or laevorotatory (bends light to the left). The degree of rotation and its direction are important as a criteria of purity.Gas Liquid Chromatography: The determination of the composition of the oil is established and a profile for future deliveries is ascertained. By using G.L.C not only can major components of each essential oil be determined, but by close examination by an experienced analyst the trace components can be a guide to purity of the oil, always taking into account the variations caused by geographic location, altitude, climate, time of distillation and if a particular hybrid or clone has been used..Ā
Carrier Oils: Carrier Oils are more than just vehicles for essential oils, as they often have health-giving qualities of their own.Heat-treated oils lose some of their nutritional value,The darker the color and stronger the odor, the less refined the oil, so it will be richer in health-giving properties.Once they are opened, keep them in the refrigerator.

up until yesterday afternoon i would have given this 5 stars, without question. i've alway found mine to have been absolutely brilliant; good sound, easy to use and rather snazzy looking. then, yesterday afternoon, mine stopped working, deleted my entire library of music, and now when i turn it on it spends an hour trying to rebuild a library it's already deleted before deciding there's no music on there anymore.. and turning itself off.now i don't know how likely this is to happen.. it's the second creative i've had, and the second that has randomly decided to just die on me, and therefore likely to be the last creative i buy.but! like i said, before it decided to pack up, it was the greatest piece of music playing technology i could ever wish to own. so if you're willing to run the risk of it dying, - which may or may not be a common fault of these players - then definitely buy this player. if you're not willing to take the risk.. you'd be better of checking out something else.

Boiler Production
Simulating Success
English boiler producer Baxi Potterton uses discrete simulation software to prevent bottlenecks and improve production line performance.
About a year ago, boiler manufacturer Baxi Potterton Limited of Preston,
England was preparing to place an order for a production line to support
a new type of boiler at its plant in Padiham, Lancashire, UK. This production
line would have numerous automated stations, a human-machine interface
unit, and a barcode data capture function, which was more sophisticated
than what the manufacturer had previously used. The plant that Baxi ordered
it for usually manufactured standard, combination, and condensing boilers,
all of which have different build and testing times than the new kind
of boiler it would now produce.
The group engineer manager, Paul Bilbie, was concerned about the new production
line's system performance because Baxi had previously experienced
bottlenecks in two of its other production facilities, causing production
losses. Also, after receiving the design for the new production line from
its conveyor supplier, he didn't think it would run smoothly using
the route the supplier recommended. This introduced a challenge—he
needed to figure out a way to install it, knowing where the bottlenecks
would occur before the production even started.
Mr. Bilbie, who is responsible for all of
Baxi's production facilities, maintenance, production engineers,
industrial engineers, and project engineers, started to research discrete
event simulation. After looking into three different companies, Mr. Bilbie
chose to use a simulation software called Quest from Delmia Ltd., the
UK subsidiary of Delmia Corp. (Auburn Hills, MI, U.S.).
Quest is a standard, 3D, digital factory software that is used for process
flow simulation and analysis. It uses a discrete event simulation environment
and pictures of geometric objects from a resource library that enable
users to create a simulation model of a production plant using their plant
layout, alternate scheduling scenarios, and integrated product teams,
as well as items such as buffers, machines, material handling systems,
and docks. Quest incorporates production variables such as physical lengths,
speeds, and a plant layout to analyze the effects on material handling
of equipment and labor.
Mr. Bilbie chose Delmia's software mainly because it is 3D and it
enabled the boiler manufacturer to use and manipulate software simulation
models it already had. For example, Baxi was able to extrapolate information
from Altercat, a 2D software the company had previously been using, and
combine it with Quest to make it 3D. He evaluated Delmia's software
by simulating Baxi's three existing production lines and the new
line proposed by the supplier.
Quest allowed Baxi to develop and watch its production line improve throughout
the design process. Delmia says its clients reduce errors by minimizing
problems and figuring out unplanned costs. With Quest, users can build
a simulation model to the level of detail they want and add more detail
as they go along to keep improving their design.
"Delmia took on the Baxi Potterton project because it was a 'classic'
manufacturing problem that could be quickly addressed using Quest and
would ensure accurate information upon which Baxi could make informed
decisions," says Tracy Doran, Delmia's professional services
manager. "Delmia's overall goal when working with them was
to demonstrate the flaws with their intended manufacturing concept and
assist them in designing and implementing an optimized line."
The two companies started by running a 9-day program, using Quest to build
a simulation model. Baxi used its original design (from Altercat), which
gave it a throughput and highlighted where various bottlenecks would ensue.
Then Baxi undertook various tests using "what if" situations
to demonstrate how it could make design changes and still meet the target
throughputs for the line.
According to the companies, this process was complex because the production
lines were based on program logic control (PLC) computers, and there were
a lot of bar code readers and data capturers within the production plant.
Delmia built a production output line into the simulation model, and then
built that line into the 3D program. After first running the program and
seeing all the problems that would have occurred, Delmia further developed
it and added logic control to optimize the lines. The software company
was then able to manipulate the simulation model to find other areas of
concern. When Delmia found a bottleneck when packaging a product, for
instance, it enabled Delmia to modify the packaging area.
"As soon as we built the product, we could tell that the line was
starting to run a lot better and a lot sweeter than it was before,"
says Mr. Bilbie. If Baxi had built the production line without the simulation,
Mr. Bilbie claims the company would have been adding to the problems it
already had on the line, such as carrier starvation. He says he never
knew whether or not the production line received the exact amount of carriers
it required because they travel around the plant automatically. With Quest,
Baxi was able to use the simulation to find that out. What Baxi realized
was that as it put more carriers into the production line, the line started
forming bottlenecks again, which produced gridlock. When it tried reducing
the number of carriers, it starved the line. After experimenting, the
manufacturer saw that 20 to 22 carriers worked perfectly.
When the simulation model was built and the results were shown
to Mr. Bilbie, he was pleased. "I had my concerns over the
2 years that I've been working with this production line,
and my concerns came to light very quickly when we started to see
the presentation," he says. In fact, Mr. Bilbie says that
if Baxi had not used Quest, the production line would have been
completely starved of carriers by 2 p.m. on the first day of production,
resulting in a 19-percent loss in production. "It would've
been very embarrassing for all concerned," he says. This would
have induced what Mr. Bilbie calls "total gridlock"
because all the carriers would have been full of partially completed
boilers, so there would have been no way of releasing the completed
boilers from the production line. "We wouldn't have
been able to produce anything," he notes.
After receiving the solution from Delmia, Mr. Bilbie showed Baxi's
conveyer supplier the animated production line in the simulation.
"They were very shocked to see the results and what would've
happened if we would've gone the way that they were suggesting,"
he says.
Baxi has future plans to build more simulation models with Delmia.
In another recent project, Baxi put together a simulation model
for the front end of its factory, where it is adding four more production
lines. This next generation of lines will be added to all of the
existing lines, and Mr. Bilbie plans to eventually have a complete
3D simulation of the factory running on a computer so he can see
every aspect of production and how many operators he needs per line.
Baxi is also working with Delmia on a Flexible Machining Systems
(FMS) model for machining centers. FMS is a computer and robot-controlled
According to Mr. Bilbie, a critical part of Baxi's ongoing
success with Delmia is that he can take advantage of the support
days Delmia provides when he needs help with the simulation software.
He suggests that users take Delmia's advice and understand
that it takes time to build a simulation model. Also, before buying
discrete simulation software, users should have to have a clear
idea of what they intend to do with the software once they have
it. "I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it," Mr.
Bilbie says. "Delmia helped us to achieve our goals by providing
us with support on building the models."

The tight end is playing Sunday for a Super Bowl ring he'd actually wear.
Down, Meadowlands, down.
He really didn't like getting benched last year.
We pretty much already knew this, though.

The Giants Super Bowl hero is with the Ravens now.
Defensive-line coach Mike Waufle is out of a job.
The naming-rights market isn't doing so well these days.
A day after the Giants allowed 40 points for the fifth time this season, the defensive coordinator gets the boot.
The season mercifully ends with a blowout in Minnesota.
And Osi Umenyiora would like to complain about playing time.
That's all for Giants Stadium, and for the Giants' season, as well.
The Giants need to win to stay alive.
If only they could play like this more often.
Especially since Dallas didn't do them any favors on Saturday.

Latest Fashion Features Articles
Miuccia Prada, Marc Jacobs, JiIl Stuart and Anna Sui aren't the first to swoon over the crafty styles created by Emilie Floge, her longtime love Gustav Klimt and the members of the Wiener Werkstatte's fashion department nearly a century ago. But for spring, they translated the era's trademark bright colors and wild embroideries into a fresh, modern-day folkloric look. Here, a dress by Miu Miu.
The Thin Man
Karl Lagerfeld showed a slim silhouette on the Chanel runway in October -- and we don't mean his collection. Following a low-fat regime designed by Dr. Jean-Claude Houdret, Lagerfeld shed nearly 90 pounds in 11 months. He attributed his willpower to his desire to don the pencil-thin suits by Christian Dior men's designer Hedi Slimane. "It's all about the clothes," said Lagerfeld. Now, he and Houdret are writing a weight-loss book titled "3D," which is shorthand for a doctor, a designer and a diet.
New Taboos
An odd time for warrior chic, perhaps. But then, the spring collections were designed long before Sept. 11. While some designers reportedly made last-minute alterations to their lineups, others, such as Hussein Chalayan and Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi, showed collections that seemed to face the world head-on. Chalayan did artistic, post-apocalyptic looks -- featuring tattered, shredded chiffon (shown at right), while Karl Lagerfeld conjured up a "Mad Max" world with strong, warrior princesses at the helm. And many designers featured Mideastern themes, including Miguel Adrover, Jean Paul Gaultier and Gianfranco Ferre.
White Now
Talk about pale fire. White dominated the spring collections on both sides of the Atlantic. Some designers, most notably Ralph Lauren, Comme des Garcons, Rei Kawakubo and the Viktor & Rolf team, showed all-white collections. While looks ranged from romantic to utilitarian, the prevailing aura of lightness felt perfect in the oddest of seasons. Here, a look from Ralph Lauren.
A Kind of a Hush
After the events of Sept. 11, the fate of the Emmys was in limbo. Was it inappropriate to carry on with the show in the wake of tragedy? The producers struggled with the question and decided to go ahead, albeit with a revised script. After two postponements, the show took place on Nov. 4. The invitations requesting "Business Dressy" made for a drab affair, big on little black dresses. Among the exceptions: a quietly chic Calista Flockhart in an understated Christina Perrin peasant top and skirt.

Road to Glory is better than ever, with the chance to relive those old high school games. You can customize your high school schedule, thats right a schedule, this time you don't start at the playoffs you make your way to the playoffs. You also get recruited by Schools based on your performance . You also can play offense and defense with your high school player.
Once out of high school pretty much the same that most of us have seen with the college mode, battle for your spot and try to keep it.
Like I said before HURRY UP AND PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME!!!! FELLOW NCAA FOOTBALL GAMERS THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AND IS A MUST BUY!!!

They have made some really great changes to this game in every major game mode. First Road to Glory (RTG) has an entire new system. You can now start out at the beginning of your senior year in high school and work your way to a 5-star prospect and scholorships to different school. You can also pick which schools you are interested in and they might offer you a scholarship. I've been asking for something like this for years. Also you can finally do what most high school football players do and play BOTH SIDES of the ball (offense and defense), and you are recruited for both of those positions seperately. I do feel however that while playing defense it is extremely hard to get much higher than a 3-star prospect as the only stats that matter are solo tackles, sacks, INT, FF, and FR. If your in on a tackle or you were the first person to hit the ballcarrier and someone else takes him down you get no credit from the scouts. Also the new coach trust system is great. When you practice and play you earn points toward coach trust which lets you move up in the depth chart and earn new abilities. I love this system, it makes moving up the depth chart so much more realistic. The last addition is the new XP/booster system, now your player doesnt just magically get better you make him better. I do have to say though that I dislike the boosters very much, I think EA needs to take a cue from NBA 2K and let you use your XP where you want it, it would also be nice to see some drills too.
Since I'm running out of characters here I'm going to race through Dynasty. New way to play, now create a new coach, you can start as an assistant. Work your way up to head coach. Multiple goals effect your job prospects. Dont like that your the main recruiter no matter what. Thats all i have room for, pick this game up its definately the best football game to date. Dont hate.

I like to run a ball control type offense, run the ball and short passes, but I have yet to score on a drive that consists of more than 8 plays. What makes it worse, I have yet to allow my opponents to have more than an 8 play drive for a score. Therefore, all my scores and my opponents' scores have come on plays of 20 yards or more. It is nearly impossible to complete passes between 1-10 yards, as linebackers and defensive backs seem to have super human abilities. This takes away many strategic elements to the game, as the game boils down to who can complete the most deep routes.
So if you enjoy running deep posts and vertical routes every play this game is for you, as you WILL score frequently. But if you want a more strategic experience that involves the entire playbook, stay clear of this game.
NOTE: If you want to play online be prepared to fork out 10 dollars for the online pass.

Visuals/Sound: SOUND and GRAPHICS ARE GREAT. Let me explain why. The graphics are clean and crisp, not some twitching mess. The sound is just like the graphics, and sounds AMAZING with Surround-Sound-Stereos. One of the main highlights of the game definitly.
Gameplay: You can play a coordinate season as one of MANY teams and manage it like a coach, playing as the players (duh) during games to ensure your ascencion to the Super Bowl. Tons of stats and cool stuff to look at. Then theres kind of a "freeplay mode" as i call it. Pick two teams, pick a stadium play as on of the teams and destroy (or get ruined by) the other team!
I give it a ten though because overall, it is near-flawless and has EXCELLENT Replay Value due to many modes and game features to enhance your football experience. Really nice game guys!
Thank you for checking Aragorn out on your local Gamefly!

The game looks pretty good- lighting isn't the best in the industry but its still not bad eye candy. Players are still fairly cookie cutter when it comes to making your player.
Gameplay improvements include the moementum based tackling already present in the Madden series, as well as the ability to play iron man football in a full high school season in Road to Glory. Dynasty is largely unchanged from previous games- leaving you to do what really matters- play.
Ultimately, the game is still how NCAA games are expected to be with no drastic changes, but the graphical update, momentum tackling, and new additions in the Road to Glory mode make it worth shelling out the money.

1.(THE PASS)The game offers you a two day pass to play online.However when this expires you have to pay 10 dallars to get it for a limited amount of time.
2.(THE RADIO)Actually i thought this was a good thing,at first.I thought finally i can keep up on whats going on!But was wrong they give you the same reports for a whole hour.Sometimes they even go back and play the old reports.FOR ANOTHER WHOLE HOUR!!!!!
3.(DYNASTY)I was excited when this game was in my mail expecialy for this Dynasty Mode.You start off by making a coach.But they dont give you much options on that his body can either be medium,XL,or XXL.THIS,this is what really made me wonder about this game..You can choose what you want your coach to be,caucasion,or African American.ALL AND I DO MEAN ALL!all of the African American faces are all racist in a way(MY OPINION)they either have weird head shapes , messed up foreheads, Long and squished in noses,Buck teeth too!

Chisinau, April 12, 2011 - The World Bank, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, the Ministry of Environment, farmers, NGOs and other national stakeholders, international and local experts convened today for a one-day conference to build national consensus and identify key priorities for policies, programs and investments to reduce the vulnerability of Moldova's agricultural systems to climate change. The effort is part of the World Bank's Regional Program on Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) Agricultural Systems. This Program is being implemented in Moldova, Albania, Macedonia and Uzbekistan and aims to mainstream climate change and agriculture into short, medium and long-term efforts to reduce the vulnerability of agricultural systems to climate change at the national and agro-ecological zone (AEZ) levels.
This National Dissemination and Consensus Building Conference was attended by more than 60 participants from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, Ministry of Environment, UNDP, IFAD, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, farmers and other stakeholders. Opening remarks during this conference were given by Mr. Vasile Bumacov, Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry, who stressed the importance of this work in helping Moldova address the challenges posed by climate change in the agricultural sector. "Moldova needs to prepare for climate change as part of its national strategy," stated Bumacov during these remarks, "this conference is a great opportunity for the government and people of Moldova to prioritize policies, program and investments for implementation."
Opening remarks were also given by the Moldovan Minister of Environment, Mr. Gheorghe Salaru, who emphasized the importance of mainstreaming climate adaptation in agriculture as a proactive approach to sustainable development. Both Ministers along with the World Bank Representatives highlighted the urgent need to strengthen extension services and training of famers in new farm technologies at the grass roots level.
This Conference follows an Awareness Raising and Consultation Workshop, held in October 2009, which laid the ground for an in-depth analysis of the impacts of climate change on Moldova's agricultural systems. An analysis has been carried out at the national and agro-ecological zone (AEZ) levels and a draft Impact Assessment and Menu of Adaptation Options for Climate Change and Agriculture in Moldova was developed in partnership between national experts and farmers and a team of world-class experts from the Industrial Economics Incorporated (IEc) consulting firm. Consensus on key priorities and recommendations going forward will be formulated on the basis of discussions of this report.
Recognizing that agriculture is both extremely important to rural livelihoods in Moldova and highly vulnerable to climate change, the World Bank's Regional Program works to develop appropriate adaptation measures to reduce the vulnerability of Moldova's agricultural systems to climate change. The drought and floods that hit the country in recent years highlight the vulnerability of the agricultural sector to growing climate variability and change and underline the need to implement appropriate adaptation measures to help reduce this vulnerability. Climate projections indicate that temperatures in Moldova will increase, while precipitation will decline, resulting in increased and more severe climatic events.
These changes could significantly affect the country's agricultural systems and negatively impact the livelihoods of Moldova's rural population by decreasing crop yields and increasing exposure to new pests and diseases for agricultural crops and livestock. The projected impacts of climate change highlight the need to develop and implement urgent actions which can increase the resilience of agriculture to climate risks in the short and long term. The program has worked to identify measures which can have immediate positive impacts on the agricultural systems in Moldova while simultaneously adapting to future climate projections, creating "win-win" options and recommendations.This program is being managed by the World Bank and supported by grants from the World Bank, the World Bank-Netherlands Partnership (BNPP), and the Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (TFESSD).

Something crazy happened earlier this week. I mean, really, truly unprecedented and nutso: My 10-year-old son made, and then ate, a salad. Although I'd desperately love to take credit for shocking turn of events, I can't. Instead, I thank the editors of Chop Chop, a new quarterly food magazine for kids.
Now, I'm a food magazine whore, so I understand the appeal a handheld glossy can have in inspiring someone to cook. But it never occurred to me that this same medium would so entrance the under-aged set. But it did. As soon as the publication arrived, my son absorbed it cover-to-cover, put it down, and announced, "I want to make something."
All the recipes are super-easy, straightforward and nutritious, from the green-and-bean quesadillas to the apple oat bars to the cheesy scrambled eggs. The magazine, whose advisory board is a who's who of prominent physicians and public health professionals, is published by Kid2Kid, a Watertown, Massachusetts-based non-profit. Its nutritional message is authentically integrated into the bright colors and snappy, kid-focused writing (The New Yorker's Susan Orlean even contributes), so preachiness is not an issue.
Back to that salad, which included romaine, apples, cucumbers, and a lemony dressing: My son had two helpings, and I almost fell off my chair. Sorry Food & Wine, sorry Saveur, but Chop Chop's just moved to the top of the stack.

Management ranks not quotas will solve diversity problems, says ASX's Funke KupperPUBLISHED: 09 Oct 2013 09:17:37 | UPDATED: 26 Nov 2013 18:35:25PRINT EDITION: 09 Oct 2013

Michael BlebyNumbers don't stack up A long, slow road
Managers at the Australian Stock Exchange have to tell staff why they cannot work flexible hours, rather than making staff explain why they want it, chief executive Elmer Funke Kupper says.
"If you want flexible working arrangements, male or female, the answer is yes, unless we give a reason for it being no," Funke Kupper says. "And by the way, [our policy is] I want to know what the reason is. I don't get reasons. We get change."
Funke Kupper is one of Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick's Male Champions of Change – a group of chief executives and chairmen who since April 2010 have undertaken to boost the representation of women at senior levels in their organisations and by influencing other businesses. Moves embraced by the "champs", as Funke Kupper calls them, include promoting the inclusion of women on speaking panels and committing to robust and consistent public reporting of gender diversity in their organisations.
Fewer women work than men. Last year the labour force participation rate, measuring the proportion of people employed or actively looking for work, was 79 per cent for men and 65.2 per cent for women. Ten years earlier it was 77.8 per cent for men and a lower 60.9 per cent for women.
Numbers don't stack up
This inequality doesn't just reduce the pool of women available to work in senior positions, but also means women end their careers financially worse off. The government's most recent figures show that in 2007 the average superannuation balance for men was $87,589 while for women it was $52,272.
The Champions of Change aim to alter this.
"If it's our leadership style, our way of doing business that's getting in the way of diversity, perhaps we can be part of the solution," Funke Kupper told a Australian British Chamber of Commerce audience in Melbourne on Tuesday.
If it's our leadership style, our way of doing business that's getting in the way of diversity, perhaps we can be part of the solution.
It was wrong to impose quotas for women on boards, Funke Kupper said, citing the example of Norway, which has mandated that females comprise 40 per cent of boards. Companies meet those standards, but the figures of women in executive positions were poor, he said.
Setting diversity targets to increase the representation of women in general management and bring them up through the ranks is a harder task than setting targets for exco- and board-level positions, he said.
A long, slow road
"It's a level you can't recruit for easily," he said. "It's a level you have to grow. It's much, much harder, it takes much more time and you have to make sure people stick with you for that period. It might be a decade, they might have children in between, other people might study, they might look after their parents."
Watching how his own managers dealt with diversity indicated their potential for leadership, Funke Kupper said.
"When you lead more and more people, you have to be more and more balanced and diverse in your thinking and your approach to the way you work with people," he said. "So to me diversity, and people creating a diverse team, is an indication of their management potential."
He would never stand in the way of a manager's choice of the best person for a job, but shortlists had to be balanced by gender, he said.
Up to a pointSome topics remain tricky, however. Funke Kupper declined to comment on the structure of Prime Minister Tony Abbott's cabinet, which includes just one woman, Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop.
"I think it's best that I don't go into it," he said. "I think the way Tony Abbott approached it was to say 'We've got these incredibly talented women that we need to bring up through the ranks and get up there as fast as we can.' (That's) not dissimilar to the work that we're doing."

4 Weird Wars
Subscribe to our newsletter
Nobody enjoys war, what with the killing and all. But despite how horrible the experience is, the study of wars throughout history is fascinating. Some wars feature clever tactics, brave soldiers, and exciting battles. They can define a country's history and change the world forever. Or they can be started for ridiculous reasons and fought with farcical methods. These wars may not have changed history, but they're weird enough to be worth remembering.
Serbian Pig War
You may be familiar with the Pig War, a famous, stupid event in the history of the United States and Canada. Well, Europe had its own Pig War, although this one was a little different.
Back at the start of the 20th century Serbia wasn't much more than a satellite of the Austrian Empire, at least in economic turns. Serbia's major export was pork, and pretty much all of it went straight into Austria, where it was presumably turned into sausages and eaten with giant tankards of beer. In an attempt to diversify their economy, Serbia began to trade with France and Belgium, Austria's rivals. In response, Austria closed its borders to Serbian pork in 1906, hoping to damage Serbia's economy enough that it would stop trying to be independent and just accept imperial domination like a good little satellite state.
In short, Austria's attempt failed. Serbia, with the help of French investment, started exporting more delicious pork than ever. Russia also backed Serbia, and this was enough for Austria to threaten to start a war. Only a German ultimatum in 1909 prevented Russia and Austria from firing shots, because at that point in history when Germany told you to do something you damn well listened. But the event gave Austria another reason to dislike Russia and Serbia, and, sure enough, World War I broke out 5 years later, in part thanks to those countries. Of course, there was much, much more to it than that, but we'd like to think that when Austrian troops marched into Serbia they were grabbing all the pork they could get their hands on.
War of Jenkins' Ear
Throughout history there have been some pretty flimsy excuses for starting wars, but this 18th century conflict between Britain and Spain might as well have begun by Britain declaring war because they were in the mood to shoot people but didn't want to travel very far. If you think that sounds dumb then brace yourself for their actual reasoning.
In 1731 a British sailor by the name of Robert Jenkins had his, you guessed it, ear cut off by a Spanish captain. Jenkins, a little annoyed by this, reported what had happened to his superiors, but at the time nobody really cared. Skip forward 7 years and the relationship between Britain and Spain had deteriorated significantly. Both countries were, in official diplomatic terms, "being dicks" to each other, but neither was really doing anything worth starting a fight over. But the British population wanted one anyway, so in 1738 Jenkins was ordered to go to parliament and tell his ear story again.
So Jenkins did just that, possibly adding in some pirates and sex to make his tale more interesting. He also supposedly produced his severed ear, which he had apparently just been keeping in his pocket for the last 7 years, maybe hoping a doctor could sew it back on or something. Anyway, parliament considered what had been done to Jenkins an insult to national honour and a clear cause for war, and the end result was tens of thousands of dead and wounded people. But hey, at least they died for a good cause, right?

Smoking may be a big part of your social life. Do you automatically
smoke when you are around someone who is smoking? Do certain people, places, or
things seem to make you want to smoke? Do your friends smoke?
Friends care about one another, support one another, and take part in
activities together that affirm the bond they have with one another. Why share
an activity that puts all of your lives at stake?
If your friends smoke, ask them whether they would be willing to quit
with you. Maybe several of you will be convinced that it's time to quit. You
can support each other through the tough times. When it's all over, you'll be
able to celebrate the choice you made to do what's best for your health so
you'll be around to share the good times together for years to come. If your
friends are not willing to quit, ask them not to smoke around you, offer you
cigarettes, or leave cigarettes lying around.

Video: Fan 'corrects' Yoda's unique spin on English
Any Star Wars fan knows that Yoda's English is all backwards. No Jedi dares correct his poor mastery of the language because he's a Jedi master. One fan saw it fit to "fix" the little green dude's grammar with the magic of video editing.
The parody video was created by "MechaStewart" who did it in the interest of just having some fun:
"Leave Yoda alone"
If George can mess with perfection, so can I. At least mine is done in parody ;)
"The audio sucks"
Yup, sure does, lots of pops and drops. Time is precious in life, did not want to waste time being picky.
Agreed. If Lucas can keep mucking with the old movies, frustrating fans by making Han shoot second and stuff, well, why can't we mess with his characters?
It's definitely weird to see Yoda's speak all corrected, but for those who would rather see good English get all Yoda-fied, there's the Yoda-Speak Generator. Don't try to translate anything naughty, because Yoda will judge you.

Take a bite out of the sweeter side of tennis with Sugarpova Gummy Candy. Maria Sharapova takes candy to a new level with her premium line of candy reflecting the fun, fashionable and sweet side of life. These fun and flirty candies not only taste delicious, but a portion of sales from the Sugarpova collection will be donated to the Maria Sharapova Foundation that helps children across the world achieve their dreams. These gummy candies come in five fun fruity flavors (Chic, Flirty, Silly, Cheeky, Splashy) with assorted flavors in each bag, so grab some style for your smile and enjoy!
- Chic: Sweet, fruit-flavored shoes, bags and shades.
- Flirty: Sweet, fruit-flavored candy kisses.
- Silly: Sweet, fruit-flavored baby gummy worms.
- Cheeky: Sweet, fruit-flavored bears.
- Splashy: Sweet, fruit-flavored sharks, turtles, fish and octopi.
Ingredients: Corn Syrup, Sugar, Water, Dextrose, Gelatin, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Artificial flavors, Pectin, Carrot and Blackcurrant Juice, Glazing Agents.
Comments: I tried the Splashy flavor. The pieces are generally a meld of half citrusy gummy (similar to gummy bears)
and half sweet gummy (similar to the white part on apple rings). The best one is the dark gummy shark. It's got the half-half
texture plus there is some jam-like filling inside. This is probably the best half-half type gummy candy I've ever had.

It is our goal to provide a clean, bright, and safe environment for athletes of all ages and skill levels to develop into the player he or she is capable of becoming. We thank you for visiting our site, and hope to see you soon!
