July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Investment in Burundi may increase as much as 17 percent this year after the government introduced incentives to attract more private capital.
Investment may grow to 300 billion francs ($241.3 million) from 257 billion francs last year, said Eric Ngendahayo, a spokesman for the Burundian Investment Promotion Agency. In the first five months of this year, the country received 103 billion francs, Ngendahayo said in an interview yesterday in Bujumbura, the capital.
Burundi has removed levies on land acquisition; granted a tax credit on investments of at least 100 million francs that create at least 10 permanent jobs for its citizens; reduced corporate taxes based on the number of Burundians employed and removed value-added tax on imported goods to be used in projects of at least 500 million francs, he said.
"We call all other investors to come to Burundi because we still have many sectors to invest in," he said.
Burundi is rebuilding its economy after a decade-long civil war that killed 300,000 people. Fighting broke out in 1993 when the country's first democratically elected president was assassinated. The East African nation, one of the world's poorest, relies on coffee to generate two-thirds of its exports and the industry is the main source of income for about 800,000 households, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Food, Mining
Burundi receives about 40 percent of its investment from foreign sources, mainly the five-nation East African Community that groups the country with Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, Ngendahayo said. Their main interests are food-processing and mining, while domestic investors prefer tourism and construction projects, he said.
Among the foreign investors in Burundi are Surestream Petroleum Ltd., the closely held U.K.-based explorer that is searching for oil in the country, Ngendahayo said.
Surestream has been exploring for oil for the past two years and is "almost" ready to start identifying locations for drilling, the company said in February.
Burundi's economic growth rate is expected to climb to 4.5 percent in 2011 and 4.8 percent in 2012, from an estimated 3.9 percent last year, the IMF said in April.

With a starting price of Rs. 7.49 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai), the Stile costs about Rs. 1.20 lakh less than the equivalent Evalia and aims to compete against a wide range of MPVs that includes the Rs. 5 lakh Chevrolet Enjoy, the Mahindra Xylo and the current king of the segment, the Toyota Innova. But unlike these, the Stile is squarely targeted at fleet operators and will be sold through Ashok Leyland's commercial vehicle dealerships.
The Ashok Leyland badge may discourage private customers from purchasing the Stile but Ashok Leyland is viewing them as a bonus and isn't counting on them to meet their targets. Despite this, the top-of-the-line model is reasonably well equipped with dual tone interiors, a music system and alloys wheels.
As part of its core strategy, Ashok Leyland is promoting the MPV as one that concentrates on utility rather than luxury. According to Dr. Sumantran, Vice-Chairman, Hinduja Automotive, "The Stile is a product that uses both, Ashok Leyland's experience in keeping operational costs low and Nissan's experience with private automobiles in improving the fit and finish". He also mentioned that the Stile's ECU has been further tuned to improve fuel economy and drivability of the Renault DCi engine that powers this MPV and this has helped the Stile achieve an ARAI certified economy of 19.5kpl (0.2kpl more than the Evalia).
The Stile is part of a Rs. 1200 crore phase 1 investment programme that is responsible for making the small Dost LCV, and the soon-to-be introduced, Partner LCV. The company also plans to launch a CNG variant of the Stile in the near future.

Good work y'all. Congratz and nice timing too.Sponsored Links
That is totally awesome, well done. Imagine the homebrew ps3 will be capable of running and now it's oooh so close.Sponsored Links
Well i think its Mathieulh habit you know as now hes calling garbage to other people's hard work. tell me guys did you ever see any contribtion in PS3 scene from Mathieulh? at least i haven't seen any till yet.Sponsored Links
Mathieulh is surely jealous with JaicraB and DemonHades bcz they have done something for the scene they have successfully dumped the lvl2 and leave it, if they didn't dump it cleanly or completely but at least they have shared it with public/scene which Mathieulh have failed to do.
Haha, now that's becoming interesting!
Guess who will need to release his info if he wants the kudos for it. If he does not release information, he will need to fear that somebody else gets the honor for the same work.
Would be interesting to get a dump from a debug console, to compare and to know from where the fw updater knows that die update isn't for retail. Or is it already known ?!?
If mathieulh thinks we won't find anything useful in this dump, he could share his godly aryan master race dump with us...
nice work.
i'm happy to see that you guys got it
Nothing yet. This is where people look for holes in the PS3's security.

Live Tron dance performance brings digital effects to the stage
Wouldn't it be cool if you could go to the theater and see a live performance of Tron: Legacy? Well, imagine no more. A small dance troupe from Japan has pulled the neon-digital magic from the big screen to the small stage.
The dancers are from Japan's Wrecking Crew Orchestra and the LED effects were developed in conjunction with Minoru Fujimoto, who has the best profile description ever on his site: "Ph.D. candidate at Kobe University in Japan. I'm a b-boy and research student." The dance group doesn't officially call its performance "Tron" but the influence is obvious. We got our first look at this amazing performance last month via a Japanese commercial for Docomo's rollout of the Sony Xperia smartphone.
With all due respect to Spider-man: Turn Off The Dark, if someone doesn't bring this live Tron performance to Broadway they're simply leaving money on the table. You can check out the full live performance, as well as the Docomo commercial in the videos below.

10 Things You Never Knew About Ticks and Fleas
Prevent your dog or cat (and the rest of your family) from getting sick
By Arricca Elin SanSone
Home remedies don't work.
From garlic collars to citrus sprays, folk remedies simply don't repel or kill fleas and ticks, says Dr. Little. In fact, some ingredients, such as garlic, can be toxic to pets if ingested, says Dr. Stickney. Ask your vet for product recommendations for your area. "He or she is the local expert on what's reliable and effective and what's currently being transmitted," says Dr. Little. For example, in highly infested tick areas, your vet may recommend using topical tick protection as well as a tick-killing collar.

The 'A' Word
Aviation has been built around humans since before the origins of powered flight, but unmanned technology is opening new design spaces in unexpected ways. Now shaped by the strengths and weaknesses of pilots and controllers, how aircraft are flown and air traffic managed could change dramatically in coming decades as autonomy becomes understood, accepted and, eventually, trusted.
"Aviation has been very successful with a -humancentric paradigm, the idea that it is humans that save the day," says Danette Allen, chief technologist for autonomy at NASA Langley Research Center. Even with the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk—arguably the most automated of today's unmanned aircraft—"the human is still on or in the loop for situational awareness, just in case they have to jump in and solve problems," she says.
But autonomy means machines making decisions, not humans, and behaving in ways that are not painstakingly pre-planned and pre-programmed. It requires safe and trusted systems than can perceive their environment for situational awareness and assessment, make decisions on uncertain and inaccurate information, act appropriately, learn from experience and adapt their behavior. "In Washington, autonomy has become the 'A' word. It has become a negative," says Rose Mooney, executive of the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership, one of six civil-UAS test sites established by the FAA.
"There is a paradigm shift from automated to autonomous: automation is relegation; autonomy is delegation," says Allen. Where automation is machine-based execution that involves deterministic, or pre-determined behavior, autonomy is machine-based decision-making and involves non-deterministic stochastic and emergent behavior. "Autonomicity, or self-awareness, is a step beyond. The system can monitor its own state and self-configure, self-optimize, self-protect and self-heal," she says.
Among programs pushing the frontiers of autonomy, Allen identifies NASA's Robonaut, the Naval Research Laboratory's Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (Darpa) disaster-response Robotics Challenge, which are developing limbed robots that could become functional crewmembers. The Office of Naval Research's Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System will turn any helicopter into an unmanned resupply vehicle and Darpa's Automated Labor In-Cockpit Automation System is a drop-in kit that will learn to fly an aircraft then take that experience to another platform, she says.
There are many technical and social barriers, objective and subjective, to autonomous systems, but "certifiable trust" has been identified as the biggest challenge. "When we certify avionics, we test every input, every path. When we certify pilots, we decide if they will probably do the right thing, but we do not test every response. It is more about behavior and probability." For humans, interpersonal trust is based on "information, integrity, intelligence, interaction, intent and intuition," says Allen, arguing this will be difficult to establish with a machine. "We will need new methods of verification and validation."
A recent NASA-commissioned National Research Council report on autonomy research for civil aviation highlighted a cross-cutting challenge to increasing autonomy in aircraft: how to ensure that adaptive systems enhance safety and efficiency. "How do we achieve trust in non-deterministic systems?" asks Yuri Gawdiak, of NASA's aeronautics strategy, architecture and analysis office. To do so, he says, "Humans are tested every step of the way."
"Autonomy is growing with computing power and bringing a whole host of new issues," says Mike Francis, chief of advanced programs at United Technologies Research Center. As machines begin to make decisions, it shows up the inadequacy of the current regulatory approach. "Certification has its roots about 110 years ago. It is based in physics and derives trust from science. It involves the testing of inputs and outputs and is a pass/fail mentality," he says.
"Certification of pilots and crews is less purely subjective. It involves situational assessment, looking for the rationale for decisions and deriving a set of acceptable outcomes," Francis continues. "[With software] we drill through every string of code. Every path is tested to ensure it performs as promised. A deterministic outcome is assumed. But a different kind of software is coming, with emergent behavior, that will be able to learn from the past and change," he says. "Our certification approach will not work at all. We will need to define 'intelligent software' and certify it more like pilots and crews are tested."
Autonomy is most often talked about in the context of unmanned aircraft, but it is likely to find much wider use, from enabling safe landing after the incapacitation of a single pilot, through reduced-crew operation of commercial and military transports to on-demand air transport, and even in deep space for close-proximity operations at distances where communications delays prevent teleoperation.
Perhaps the most controversial and challenging use of autonomy will be in the cockpit, to allow single-pilot operations (SPO) in commercial air transport. There are several reasons the idea is being looked at; crew cost is a key factor."Fuel is 25.4% of U.S. airline costs, labor is 27%, we need to tackle both," says Parimal Kopardekar, manager of NASA's NextGen concepts and technology development project.
Crew costs are also higher relatively for smaller aircraft, and are a limiting factor for regional jets and on-demand air taxis, says Ken Goodrich, a NASA Langley research engineer. Enabling single-pilot operations could return or expand commercial service to small communities and thin markets, he says.
The airline industry last went through a reduction in flight-deck manning in the 1980s, when the two-crew cockpit was introduced with the Boeing 757 and 767. "But two to one is not the same as three to two," says Goodrich. "The incapacitation of one pilot will result in an unmanned aircraft, which the public is not ready to accept."
Medical reliability is set by the 1% rule, which establishes the risk threshold for pilot incapacitation at 1% per year. In reliability terms this is a failure rate of 1 in 10 million flight hours, or 10-6, and not adequate for a function critical to aircraft safety, which regulations says must meet a 10-9 threshold. U.S. airlines experience around 10 incapacitations a year over the course of 50 million flight hours for a reliability of 2 x 10-7, but that is still almost two orders of magnitude too low, says Goodrich.
Another challenge is that regulations already allow two pilots. "A single pilot would require a change of regulation in Part 121, and that is no small task," says Goodrich. "Two was demonstrated statistically to be as safe as three. Two to one is not an apples-to-apples comparison." Accident rates with Cessna Citation business jets flown single-pilot, for example, are 3.4 times higher than with two crew, he says. "We need a 70% reduction in accident rate to achieve equivalent safety."
Research into SPO for Part 121 commercial operations at NASA Ames and Langley is focused on retaining the pilot in command as the final authority, supported by human-centered automation. The SPO concept combines onboard automation with off-board collaboration: a single pilot flying the aircraft with the help of automation while having access to a ground pilot in emergencies.
NASA is developing an integrated single-crew flight-deck design that includes crew-state management, to monitor physiology and behavior and provide feedback to the pilot, the automation and the ground station; crew tasking, alerting and planning, to provide a challenge-and-response interaction between human and automation to keep the pilot involved; and a simplified flight control system.
One of the key technologies being pursued is the haptic flight control system (HFCS), in which the pilot commands the aircraft solely through the stick and throttle. This is a "point-and-shoot" interface that provides simplified trajectory management while enabling automated response to hazards. The system can act autonomously if required, and perform an emergency landing overseen by a ground pilot.
The analogy is a horse and rider. The aircraft (the horse) has a specific type of intelligence and can do certain core tasks well on its own. "It can autonomously maintain safety, but not necessarily efficiently perform a mission," says Goodrich. "Its behavior is biased toward safety, and it needs human input to operate efficiently." Like a rider on a horse, the pilot uses force and touch to communicate with the aircraft.
The HFCS integrates autopilot, autothrottle and flight management systems (FMS) into the primary controls and displays. Stick and throttle are the pilot's single points of contact with the automation. The default autonomy emphasizes safety and provides integrated envelope and hazard protection.
All FMS route information is presented on the display. The pilot points the aircraft at a waypoint, selects it, pulls a trigger on the stick and the automation flies the aircraft according to the procedure in the database. To arrive at the next waypoint at a certain time, the pilot points the aircraft and moves the throttle while watching the predicted arrival time, adjusts the speed for the desired time and pulls the trigger on the throttle.
Automation will not fly the entire route: The pilot must be in the loop whenever major changes are made to the trajectory. Humans become complacent with normally reliable pre-programmed automation, Goodrich says, so to monitor the aircraft over long periods they need to be engaged at regular intervals, and the simple task of pointing the aircraft at the next goal provides that engagement.
The HFCS has its origins in work by NASA to develop a control system that would make it easier and safer to fly small personal aircraft, and its developers acknowledge the system looks like a technological step back from today's automated airliner cockpits. But in a simulator study involving 24 pilots who compared it with totally manual and fully automated flight, they strongly preferred the HFCS.
Force-based interaction can be tailored to reflect strength of will, allowing the pilot to overpower the automation if necessary. The self-preservation functionality built into the autonomy in part replaces the cross-checking and error detection provided by a second crewmember. The pilot stays in the loop, exercising manual control skills to manage the automation and so prevent complacency. And the core algorithms are relatively deterministic, making them easier to certificate, Goodrich says.
NASA is looking at a technique called run-time assurance as a way of certifying adaptive control software. The concept is used in the research flight control system in NASA's Boeing -F/A-18 test aircraft. "In that case we restrict the flight envelope, so the monitoring involves ensuring that we stay in the approved envelope and reverting to the production [flight control] system in the event of a violation," says Curtis Hanson, a principal investigator.
"RVAC [reliable, verifiable adaptive control] is an attempt at defining run-time assurance for inner-loop flight controls. The idea is it is easier to monitor control-system gains than control-surface commands, because gains can adapt more slowly and are easier to bound in terms of traditionally defined gain and phase margins. We can monitor the adaptive gains and make sure they behave reasonably," he says. Another program is looking at run-time assurance for outer-loop (autopilot) flight control.
"By separating the software, the monitoring software and inner-loop controller are safety critical, but can be tested using traditional methods. The adaptive controller is not safety critical, because if it does something stupid it can be overridden—which is good, as we don't know how to certify it," Hanson says.
NASA sees single-pilot operation being part of an air traffic management system beyond the NextGen airspace modernization program now under way, that could be deployed after 2030 to enable "system-wide autonomous optimized airspace." In addition to SPO, research programs aimed at this timeframe are AutoMax for air traffic management and UAS Traffic Management for low-altitude airspace.
"SASO [safe, autonomous systems operations] describes a future beyond NextGen that is more highly autonomous, to provide greater affordability, flexibility, scalability and resilience," says John Cavolowsky, NASA Airspace Operations and Safety Program manager. "It is an architecture that can take advantage of beneficial autonomous behavior to enable new aircraft configurations and business models," he says.
Future airspace operations are expected to be much more diverse based on increased use of unmanned aircraft, launch vehicles, personal aircraft, high-altitude wind turbines and other new types of operation. This increase in density and mixed equipage cannot be accommodated simply by adding more humans because of cost, says Kopardekar. "We need autonomous characteristics for safety, efficiency and scalability, as high complexity leads to less than optimal decision-making, while high workloads limit system capacity and throughput." But AutoMax is about seeking the highest "justifiable" levels of autonomy and autonomocity, not enabling "automation for automation's sake," he emphasizes.
Meanwhile, some experts warn that the government and industry collectively will be unable to develop, test and evaluate autonomous and robotic systems to ensure they operate safely and effectively because they will not be able to attract the right engineers. "There is a big storm rising, and it is being ignored by the Defense Department and FAA. Who is going to do this work?" asks Missy Cummings, a professor of engineering at Duke University and expert on autonomy. "The qualified people in government that can design an effective test-and-evaluation program do not exist. There are not enough people to staff the FAA's six UAS test sites; not in the military, not in the government," she says.
"These people are not inside the government or industry. They are out there, but working for Google, Oracle and others—companies with a 40% R&D spend," Cummings notes, comparing their rate of research and development investment with the aerospace and defense industry's average of around 5% of revenues. "The government does not understand the difference between autonomous systems and unmanned. They know nothing about test and evaluation for autonomous systems. A deterministic approach will not work," she says. "Meanwhile China is pouring billions into the development of probabilistic and stochastic software systems."
"Achieving high levels of trusted autonomy is a multibillion-dollar challenge that will take more than just aviation to achieve," says Mark Moore, an aerospace engineer at NASA Langley working on enabling on-demand air transport through autonomy and other technologies. "Aerospace will not lead this. It will take 20-30 years and by then there will be millions of driverless cars operating, collecting data the FAA will never get [from aviation].
"Other industries are evolving at an incredible pace and we are not," Moore says. "We need to find a way to embrace outside industries. If there is ever going to be any chance of certifying trusted autonomy, we are going to have to embrace Google, Facebook, the automotive industry and others."

As Iowa communities hit by this summer's flooding cope with immediate cleanup and recovery issues, other communities continue to deal with the long-term housing effects of the 2008 floods.
Iowa State University and ISU Extension researchers are working with local officials in eight communities hit by the 2008 floods: Mason City, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Coralville, Waverly, Columbus Junction and Charles City. The Iowa State team is assessing new housing constructed since the 2008 floods to determine whether it is affordable and a spatial match for the communities' economic base.

This is, by far, my favorite conditioner. Ever since I started using it about a year ago, the condition of my hair has dramatically improved. I get my hair trimmed every three months and this seems to prevent breakage in between trims. My hair is soft and managable, and when used with my favorite shampoo I never have a bad hair day. The scent is fresh and clean and lingers throughout the day. Will repurchase forever!

This is one of the very few conditioners I will ever use an entire bottle of. Usually I use a conditioner for about a month or two before realizing that I don't like them and throwing them away, but I absolutely love this one. I mix it with whatever conditioner I'm trying out and get the best results. I'm trying to grow out my hair and I'm sure this is one of the reasons I've had so few split ends.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Holy Grail. Have been using for over a month(just a dime-size dab at a time on the ends) and my hair seems thicker and in better condition. It curls nicely, isn't weighed down, and I'm not breaking out anywhere from silicones (although this product does have dimethicone). I don't know if it's the lactic acid (which my hair loves) or what. This conditioner has both mineral oil and petrolatum in it, go figure- and my fine, thin hair has never looked better. It's a mystery! At least it doesn't have parabens! I can wholeheartedy recommend.

This review is for the bottle that has the triangle at the top left saying 95% less breakage. I was really excited to try this product after reading reviews here as well as watching people on youtube rave about how it helped them grow out their damaged hair.
I have been using the shampoo and conditioner for over a week now. I really liked the conditioner at first. It has a very nice consistency. Now, however, I don't know if I like it or not because I don't know if it's just the shampoo that has been doing bad things to my hair or the combination of both. I have been using both the shampoo an conditioner together and although my hair has more shine, my hair is in worse condition since using this shampoo and conditioner. This product claims to help stop breakage, don't believe it; my hair is not only still breaking off, ENTIRE STRANDS OF HAIR ARE COMING OUT ALL THE TIME since using this. Not good! Also, after letting my hair air dry, I noticed that my hair looked slightly greasy.
For reference, I have an oily scalp and dry hair. I think I'll hang on to the conditioner and use it every once in a while but the shampoo is going in the trash. I have a feeling that my hair is coming out because it is not getting clean enough at the root.
Update: It was the shampoo that was no good for me. 'm still using the conditioner. I really like what it does for my damaged hair. After using the conditioner (with a different shampoo), my hair is more soft, shinny, and generally happier when I let it air dry.

I received a generously sized free sample tube of this through Dove's page on Facebook. I used it today for the first time. It smells amazing (like cherry Jell-O). It did leave my hair pretty soft and shiney but I find that many regular conditioners do this as well, so I don't think it's anything really spectacular, aside from the fragrance. I'm not sure how much a full sized tube costs, but if it's much more than regular conditioner, I wouldn't bother buying it just because I didn't find it did anything really amazing for my hair. Perhaps if my hair was damaged to begin with, I'd notice more of a difference, but my hair's pretty resilient and silky already. Nice product overall though.
Update: I find that this can leave my roots a bit greasy-looking sometimes (something that doesn't normally happen to my hair), so I now only apply it to my ends after applying my regular TRESemme conditioner all over. I find that my layered ends tend to naturally lay a bit nicer after using this on them in conjunction with my regular conditioner, probably just due to the extra moisture. I still wouldn't likely purchase a full sized tube though, as I don't feel I need it and I imagine it's more costly than regular conditioner.

More reviews by phalaenopsis_619
I think this is a superb drugstore hair conditioner. I have very thick, wavy, rather unmanageable hair. My hair gets all tangled up (even with daily brushing) after 3 days (for reference my hair length is below my waist). Most conditioners make it easier for me to brush my hair, but not all of them are able to allow me to untangle my hair easily. After I use this conditioner, I have no trouble to untangle my messy hair. This is almost as good as using a hair mask. It is cheap and effective. It also has a pleasant but not overwhelming scent.
I really like this conditioner. I have pretty fine hair, so I only put conditioner through the ends, and this has really improved the condition of my hair. I notice it's shinier and more manageable, and much softer. It also doesn't weigh my hair down or make it stringy/greasy. easily the best drugstore conditioner i've tried.
I have a feeling this will end up being a holy grail product for me. I came home from college not having a haircut since before the semester began meaning my hair was quite dry, full of split ends and extremely unruly. I saw that Dove haircare was on sale for 2/6USD. I searched the reviews and Intensive Repair sounded pretty good. The first time I used it I left it on for about two minutes considering the state of my hair. The results were fantastic. I didn't need to use a detangler after my shower. I could run my fingers through my hair easily. My hair was a lot smoother. I used the same hair products as always and I noticed it dried with less frizz or unruly-ness. I have been using this everyday since I got it about two weeks ago. I don't leave it on for a minute. I use it as you would a regular conditioner. Its amazing. Its keeping my hair in excellent condition ( I have since gotten a hair cut) The smell is great. I love tube packaging as opposed to hard plastic bottles. A downside is that it is a little difficult to rinse out. You really have to let the water run over your hair for a while or else your hair looks really greasy. This is definitely not for everyone! I have long, medium brown, medium thickness wavy hair. I have to wash my hair everyday(athlete) and the winter destroys hair hair along with the fact that I can't get haircuts too frequently So I need something that will really condition my hair. If you're in a similar situation, then I'd highly recommend it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Really hoped this product would repair any damage in my hair before the cold winter but was dissapointed with the results. My hair looked duller and wasnt as soft. Dont think it did anything really and was a waste of money and time.I used conditioner along with a different shampoo so maybe using the too together would help...doubt it though .
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just recently began using this product and I like it so far. My hair feels so smooth, which surpised me for a drugstore brand, and it smells great. This product comes in an easy-to-use tube packaging and it was easy to wash it out of my hair. My only concern is after reading the other reviews, I noticed many people saying that this stops working/causes buildup after some time. I certainly hope not, because I think this is my new go-to conditioner.
Edit: After finding out that Dove/Unilever conducts animal testing, I will not be repurchasing. What a shame :(

Huntington Beach...
This is my first completed project from the book and I love it! The pattern itself is pretty straightforward and the explanations, ideas and other versions gave me the confidence to make some changes to the original and create something I really wanted.
I lengthened the front top bodice by 3" because I am long in the body. I also added the band at the center. I reversed the direction of the grain for the waistband and I love how it is in slight contrast to the rest of the jacket. I made a short peplum-style bottom to the jacket which is something I was after because I have a couple of long straight coats and so wanted something different for this one. I added extra long sleeve cuffs which I also really like as it makes the jacket feel more casual.
I only partially lined the coat – just the top bodice front and back. The Peplum is unlined as are the sleeves.
It came together quickly and the pattern was so easy to follow. I'm even surprised at how much I love this coat – it fits great and I love how it looks.
I wrote up this coat as a project for Fiskars which you can read by clicking here
And I linked to it on my blog here

Rowmark - 8/13/2014Rowmark Announces New Products
Rowmark (Findlay, OH) introduces NEW designer-inspired patterned products as part of the LaserMax� and FlexiColor� product lines for producing
creative award, recognition and signage projects.
A new collection of unique �Digicam� (or digital camouflage) patterns in Rowmark�s LaserMax� line are constructed of a camouflage pattern popularized
by the military over a durable black or white acrylic core, creating a unique visual effect. The new Digicam patterns are perfect for military award and
recognition projects, as well as outdoor recreational and specialty applications.
The new Harbor Grey is also now available as a decorative pattern option in the LaserMax� (in 1/16� thickness) and FlexiColor� (in a thin,flexible
.020� thickness) product lines to expand design options for a wide variety of award, recognition and POP projects.
Rowmark also introduces a variety of new additions to the popular MetalGraph Plus� product line to expand metallic design and finish options and
provide increased versatility for demanding indoor and outdoor signage, lettering and cut-out applications.
Rowmark's new line of textured MetalGraph Plus� products combine the look of brilliant metal with a classic textured finish in a UV stable, outdoor
weatherable and moisture resistant sheet. They are available in a variety of lustrous metallic color options, including Gold, Nickel and Copper, over
a black core.
Aside from traditional engraving projects, MetalGraph Plus� has also popularly become the costeffective, lightweight alternative for fabricating indoor/
outdoor vector cut-outs and letters in place of real brass, metal or stainless steel. To meet market demand, Rowmark has added a collection of
NEW MetalGraph Plus� products with the same cap and core color, including Brushed Antique Gold/Gold, Brushed Stainless Steel/Silver, Textured
Gold/Gold and Textured Stainless Steel/Silver. Offering MetalGraph Plus� in the same cap and core color eliminates the need for customers to paint
the sheet edges for color consistency.
Rowmark - 7/18/2014Rowmark Introduces New Heavy Weights Products
In response to increasing market demand for sheet materials and color options for outdoor sign-making, marine and recreational applications,
Rowmark announces the launch of NEW three-ply products as part of the Heavy Weights� product line.
For the past decade, Rowmark has been offering Heavy Weights� as a tough, heavy-gauge engravable sheet solution specifically designed to withstand
the harshest outdoor elements. A heavy-gauge 3-ply polymer sheet with a textured surface, it is available in a bright palette of primary color
combinations popularly used in high traffic areas, including Yellow/Black/Yellow, a NEW addition.
Additional new color combinations include Green/Tan/Green and Red/Black/Red. Heavy Weights� Brown/White/Brown and Green/White/Green
are also now available in 1/4" thickness.
Rowmark - 6/6/2014Rowmark Launches Trendy New ColorHues Products
Rowmark announces the launch of ten brilliant NEW colors as part of the ColorHues� product line, in response to its continued popularity and increased
use in tactile and ADA compliant sign-making, POP projects, custom gift applications and more.
Rowmark continues to closely monitor the latest color trends to meet the changing needs of the industry and offer the hottest products available to
expand customers' design options for a growing range of visually dynamic projects. The company's new trending ColorHues� products include three
translucent colors with gloss on both sides (Flamingo, Lemon Zest, Citron), one translucent color with matte on one side and gloss on one side (Smoke)
and six opaque colors with matte on one side and gloss on one side (Creme Brule, Luxe Blue, Mango, Pomegranate, Citronella, Envy).
In addition to design, illumination is a popular effect used today for enhancing signage projects. The enhanced translucency of select products in
Rowmark's ColorHues� line, including Glass Green, Ice Blue, Flamingo, Lemon Zest and Citron, make them well-suited for edge lighting applications.
"Edge-lit" technology or "edge glow" is an effect created when light focused on a sign's edge is evenly diffused across its surface for uniform illumination.
Rowmark - 5/19/2014Rowmark Launches Rack Star Jig Fixtures
Rowmark proudly announces a new collection of specialty "jig" fixtures for use with the Rack Star� laser cutting table system, designed to help laser
equipment users quickly secure unusually shaped gifts and promotional items. The "jig" collection includes fixtures for writing utensils, lapel pins, coffee
mugs, glassware, pocket knives, key chains and identification tags.
Rowmark introduced the Rack Star� in October 2013 and recently launched a YouTube video series to assist users with efficient use and setup of the
Rack Star� system, "jig" fixtures and v-blocks. This innovative, modular system is convenient for any size laser bed ranging from 12" x 18� to 24� x
48�. Rowmark's Rack Star� specialty fixtures optimize productivity when lasering multiples or mass production jobs through consistent, worry-free product
leveling and placement, for perfect lasering results every time.
Two larger specialty fixtures are also available, including one for key chains and another for identification tags and medals, to laser multiple products
and accommodate custom orders. The key chain fixture features five different product shapes, while the identification tag and medal fixture features
four different shapes. For more general use, Rowmark offers a collection of small, medium and large "v-blocks" to accommodate a wide variety of shapes
and sizes.
�These custom "jig" fixtures are a great way for laser equipment users to tailor the Rack Star� to meet their customers' specific needs, enhancing daily
operations for optimal productivity," Vice President of Global Sales and Business Development Rich Zydonik said. "With the Rack Star�s versatile
offering, consumers and engravers alike are further equipped with the tools to turn imagery into advantageous product enhancement.�

This is an addendum of sorts to last week's column about New York City.
As I walked the crowded garbage-strewn streets of Manhattan and rode the hot-stink-steam-bath subways, it was easy to tell the tourists from the New Yorkers.
The tourists were the ones with eyes wide open, excited, a little bit afraid, rarely alone, always looking-looking-looking, either at something or away from...

Every year, Teresa and I spend a long weekend in Manhattan. We got married in New York four years ago right around Labor Day and always fly back for our anniversary.
New York is easy. Booking a flight is simple. The hardest (and most expensive) part is booking the hotel. With literally hundreds of options, it's a crap shoot. If you go cheap, you could end up in a bed-bug ridden shit hole...

And just like in all those muggle movies that Rose had made me watch when we were barely teenagers, the crowd parted and there he was, holding a broomstick in one hand and the other hand nervously ruffling his hair. His hazel eyes were shining brightly, contrasting his now tanned skin. He caught my eye immediately and started walking towards me.

Shakaland is a living museum showcasing traditional Zulu culture combined with authentic and comfortable accommodation. Built on the movie sets of Shaka Zulu and John Ross it offers guests the opportunity to watch a number of local customs, such as the beer drinking ceremony and spear making in the Umuzi (Zulu homestead). Guests stay in traditional beehive huts, all the while enjoying a range of modern luxuries. There is also a great bar and restaurant to enjoy with views across the Entembeni hills to take in before watching the Zulu dancing after dinner.
Guests can expect 55 en-suite beehive huts. Guests have a choice of twin, double standard and family rooms, which can accommodate up to 4 people. All rooms include a sitting area, satellite TV and tea and coffee making facilities. From the comfort of the rooms guests have great views over the nearby lake and the dramatic scenery of the area.
The property offers a number of cultural programmes and tours for guest to explore along with a range of facilities to ensure a stay is comfortable. The hotel restaurant, Shisa Nyama, serves up some delicious meals, complemented by a cool drink from the U Kamba Bar. A pool is located adjacent to the restaurant.
Shakaland is approximately 1 hour 30 minute drive from Durban.
The cultural tour showcases the beer drinking ceremony, fighting formations, the greeting of the home, the Sangoma, the Nyanga, social systems, bead making, spear throwing, beer production and pottery making.
An experience but worth it!

The rooms were OK, the children's room much better than ours. The huts were clean and well constructed but it was very cold at night and dark in the rooms so there was nowhere to sit together and just 'hang out'. Had we been booked in for just one night it would have been a good experience but once we had done the 1 hour 'staged tour' and watched the dance show there really was nothing to do at all. We were expecting an interactive experience where we would be able to do things and communicate with the people there (e.g. making jewellry, spears etc). The experience was very passive and the walk about the village tour very 'set up'. Sitting in a hut watching a video about Shaka was wierd and it just felt very staged and unreal. We were very disappointed because Claire had really encouraged us to do 2 nights there and we expected something much better from what she had told us about it in advance. On the other hand the setting was amazingly beautiful and we loved watching the sunset.
Mrs Georgina BurnsRated...
A poor man's Zulu Disneyland.
The accommodation was not ready when we arrived. It did not have electricity or water when we arrived and was nothing like the photo in the brochure.
After two hours we did get what we wanted but would not recommend to anyone.
If there is such a thing as the opposite of a highlight, this was it. ( The pits ? )
Mr Bill WoodcockRated...
Would not recommend - was tired looking and staff were clearly bored. Food terrible.

What the hell is going on... why have I not heard of these rumours?? They are supposed to be "ripe" aren't they??
Oh well, I don't care much for these two anyway, all I know is that if she should break up... please spare my Shahid... Shahid and Kareena are really EWW!
i think she is way better wish saif. shahid will get someone wayyy better ;)
lol!!!! yeh to hona hi tha!!!!!!! :P
Weird but I haven't heard any of these "ripe" rumors!
ummm.who cares again????????????????????? but saif and kareena= EWWW...kareena and shahid?? hell ya!
Ewww who likes this couple anyway? They r sooo LAME!!!!
Buddha n dumb blonde r just perfect for each other... puke
I for One am glad that they haven't broken up not that I believed they were broken up but meh.
I dont like bebo, and am not that fond of saif either but they complement each other and I honestly dont care how old he is, he doesnt look it and they are in love so be it.
And to those who want Shahid and Kareena together just one word; Ewww! Oh god what are you guys thinking, seriously? ;)
Okay well if they haven't broke up now it may happen sooner or later so I advise them to get married and just settle there...:S They are a pretty weird couple with a lot of issues like family n kids that needs to be settled out
Edited on:08 July 2011 at 7:25am
Please dont hurt saif and Karina fans but frankly saying I will not be at all surprise if the break up between Saif and Karina happens. Because we all have seen that Karina had a past affair with Shahid and there is a video of their intimacy in internet. Sometimes they feel bored with a single company and feel change their partner.
