The San Antonio Pizza Patrón stores have announced January year-over-year comp sales growth of more than 325 percent.
Pizza Patrón officials announced the numbers today for the franchise partners, S.A. Pizza Inc., who currently operate nine stores in San Antonio with two more under construction.
According to a news release, Pizza Patrón executives attribute the operator's success to new expansion, aggressive advertising of the company's latest "Any 3" promotion and a focus on the company's Favorita line of specialty pizzas.
"The launch of Pizza Patrón's Any 3 Large Pizzas $18 promotion, highlighting the brand's line of Favorita specialty pizzas, along with excellence in operations, all contributed to San Antonio's outstanding January sales results," said Andrew Gamm, brand director of Pizza Patrón.
Chris Partyka, owner and operator of S.A. Pizza Inc., said his stores' growth numbers have also been building because of the company's systems and standards.
"We have been aggressive in using radio, television and out-of-home media to get the word out about this fantastic Any 3 Large Pizzas for $18 deal," Partyka said in the release. "Also, in addition to making our dough fresh throughout the day, using 100-percent whole milk mozzarella cheese and handmade signature sauce from fresh-packed Roma tomatoes, the company recently shifted to using garden-fresh vegetable toppings. This further commitment to quality makes a huge difference in the flavor and freshness that our customers notice and are loving."

Alice ruins G-P's perfect district mark
The Coyotes (20-6 overall, 5-1 district) defense forced G-P into turnovers all night long and used a balanced scoring attack, including three players in double figures, to hand G-P (17-11, 5-1) its first district loss of the season.
"We played better than we did against Calallen last week and we needed this win on the road," Alice coach Tracy Zamora said. "Our scorers came through for us and this could make the Coyotes unstoppable, but we still play in spurts and are looking for a consistent game."
Alice, which two games ago against Calallen got scoring from just four players, had six different players score in the first period alone against G-P.
The Wildcats led by as much as four in the first quarter, but Alice had a 17-15 lead heading into the second, when the Coyotes ran away with it. Alice reeled off a 15-0 run open up a 32-20 lead with two minutes left in the half. Sophomore Kim Rea keyed the run, scoring four points to start the spurt.
"I know her (Rea) potential and she came in there and held her own, she gave Morgan some rest and it helped us," Zamora said.
Alice took a 41-30 lead into the fourth quarter and held on to that lead thanks to a strong period by Ariel Lichtenberger, who scored 10 of her 12 team-high points in the period, eight of which came from the free-throw line. Lichtenberger also finished the night with 12 rebounds and nine assists, just missing a triple-double.
Morgan and Rea added 10 points each for Alice to go along with Lichtenberger's points while Clarissa Perez scored 13 for G-P and freshman Cecilee Perez added 12 points.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Apple made a big splash this year with its iAd network for high-quality ads from big brands, but new mobile ad network Moolah Media says it's already successful by aiming for advertisers who aren't quite as high-end. The San Francisco startup is coming out of stealth mode today, but its services have been up-and-running for a month. Chief executive Shawn Scheuer said Moolah Media has already served more than 100 million impressions and generated more than 250,000 "quality" leads for its advertisers. "We're not going to beat iAds on filling the first 5 percent of your inventory at $25 or $50 CPMs (payment per thousand impressions)," Scheuer said. "But we will beat other people on filling the remaining 95 percent." Moolah came from the founders' own experience trying to make money from their mobile app, Scheuer said. By using AdMob (now owned by Google) and various other ad networks, they were only able to earn 25 cent CPMs "on a good day." Then they discovered they could increase those CPMs by more than 10 times if they created their own custom ads, and now they're making the technology they developed available on their network. The key, Scheuer said, is a focus on a pay-per-performance model, where you're paying for actions and not just eyeballs, coupled with greater publisher transparency. For example, he said, most major ad networks only let you target ads by phone, carrier, and a few extremely broad categories. Moolah lets you see ad performance by individual publisher, and it kicked out an early publisher that wasn't performing. Moolah also creates special phone numbers for ads so businesses can tell when customer calls were spurred by a specific ad. "On the fixed Web side, these ideas are not new," he said, but they haven't been brought effectively into the mobile world. Moolah is self-funded and is already profitable, he added. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Gig Harbor's Donkey Creek Day-lighting Project to Get More Tweaking
GIG HARBOR - The Donkey Creek day-lighting project is still several weeks from being approved by the Gig Harbor City Council.
The project received a second public hearing at the May 23 council meeting.
It was also discussed prior to the council meeting at a city-sponsored open house at which the four day-lighting options under consideration were presented to the public.
The options include completely removing the large culvert beneath North Harborview Drive through which the creek now flows, and constructing a pedestrian bridge alongside the road. This option, which comes closest to the original vision of day-lighting the creek, is prohibitively expensive.
The other options being considered are construction of a 10-foot diameter "jack and bore," a 22-foot culvert or a partial day-lighting of the creek adjacent to a new pocket park near the Harbor History Museum.
The pocket park option is recommended by the city's planning department as being within the existing $2,886,000 budget and most likely to meet permitting requirements.
All options take advantage of a 10-foot-wide conservation easement through the museum's property, which the city purchased in 2006. The easement was required in order for the day-lighting project to take place. Day-lighting the creek within the easement would create steep banks, which would have to be stabilized with a metal sheet pile wall.
Addressing the council at the meeting, Frank Ruffo, president of the museum's board of directors, said the museum would be willing to consider expanding the existing easement.
"We're willing to work with the city on whatever option you choose. A 10-foot sheet pile wall right behind Midway school would not be very attractive to the museum. I think this is a great project and our museum plays a big role because the easement goes right through our land. We'd be willing to consider widening the easement."
Walt Smith, who is also on the museum's board, noted that the organization has been working with city staff since the beginning of the project and has found everyone to be very cooperative.
"We might suggest expanding the side slopes of the creek from 10 feet to 20 feet. The museum would be willing to look into ways to make this more aesthetically pleasing and eliminate sheet piling. That's for places like Tacoma. We'd like to see other, more natural materials used, such as rocks."
The possibility of increasing the easement surprised several council members.
"We've heard tonight that people don't want sheet pile. And we've also heard that there might be a possibility of having additional property from the museum," said councilman Paul Kadzik.
The council directed city staff to pursue the possibility of the additional easement and bring the project back for additional consideration at the June 13 meeting.
According to Smith, the day after the council meeting, the museum's board of directors confirmed their willingness "to continue to work with the city to make the day-lighting project as environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing as possible. We'll cooperate in doing everything we can — within reason, of course."
He noted that there are structures on the museum property that "have to remain in place, but we'll do whatever we can to work with the city on this. I'm optimistic."
Museum Executive Director Jennifer Kilmer added that her organization has always shared the city's vision of the day-lighting project.
"Obviously we want to have an attractive and successful project back there (behind the museum). We're open to finding out what the city might need to make it a beneficial project.
"The city has a very difficult job. They're balancing a lot of things like environmental concerns and transportation issues, their budget and the aesthetics. We want to be seen as a partner to help them work this out."

Analysis: Is Africa the next frontier in apparel sourcing?
By Michelle Russell | 25 March 2014
Africa is a continent that continues to be described as 'the next frontier
As manufacturing costs continue to rise in China and across Asia, the search is on for alternative apparel sourcing destinations. Many companies are moving elsewhere in the region, but an increasing number want to explore and invest in entirely new countries. And the African continent is being described as "the next frontier."
Marie D'Avignon, manager of government relations for the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), believes there are three main reasons why Africa is becoming a great option for sourcing. She was speaking on the AAFA webinar: Exploring Africa Trade.
"The first is access to the African market. Companies are looking to produce in South Africa to access major markets there, for example producing products they can sell into South Africa," she said, speaking during a webinar organised by AAFA on Exploring Africa Trade.
"They don't necessarily want to take the huge risk of making stuff here in the US, or China and having to move it over there and having extra costs. If they make it nearby, the cost of shipping drastically reduces so they can just test out the waters in those markets."
She also points to companies wanting to "do the right thing" and have Africa sourcing as "part of their brand story". Firms, she says, want to create jobs in countries that need them, and ensure their factories are in countries where workers are well-treated. "We have seen some brands build their whole story around that."
The third reason she highlights as "probably the strongest": AGOA (the African Growth and Opportunity Act). Originally passed in 2000 and set to expire in September 2015, it aims to provide economic opportunities to countries showing a commitment to good governance and democratic principles.
Angela Dean, director of global business for non-profit social enterprise Partner Africa, adds that the continent's growing population is also a big pull for investors.
"If you look at the population in Africa, it's definitely growing. Right now six out of ten people live in Asia, but in 20 years time that will shift to Africa and this is a huge untapped pool of labour, which is extremely attractive for those looking further down the line, especially for manufacturers moving over into Africa."
In addition to the opportunities, however, there are also challenges, which Dean says include issues with barriers in communication, poor infrastructure, slow border processes and many countries within Africa not having a fast-paced business culture.
She also highlights common issues in the supply chain, but adds: "There has been significant investment in vertical supply chains and I know that is being put in place right now, particularly in Ethiopia."
The AAFA says there is a lot of input from local government to address the issues, expand their markets and attract investment.
"There are certainly a lot of challenges still out there...but companies are finding a way to deal with the issues," says D'Avignon. "The biggest challenges are understanding this might be a completely different business [than] you might have had in other countries."
International interest
The AAFA says it is looking to garner more interest in Africa from the US, but adds: "A lot of the investment currently is coming from Asia. In certain African countries, the economy is a little unstable, so that's why you see Asia investment more than US."
As a continent comprising 54 countries, the development of each within Africa will be very different over time. The AAFA, however, says that countries that appear to be benefiting from investor interest most, at the present time, include Swaziland, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and Ethiopia.
The latter, the AAFA points out, is one country expected to show "significant advancement" over the next five to ten years.

2013 NFL Pre-Combine
DE Rankings - No. 11 to 25
Follow Us ...
@ColFootballNews -
CFN Pre-Combine DE Rankings, Top Ten
11. Margus Hunt, SMU 6-8, 277 Proj. 2
Positives: A true giant. There are some tall ends in this draft, but Hunt is built like an NBA power forward. He's used his size extremely well. … Freakishly strong and athletic. He was a track star in the discus and shot put, but he also moves well, especially in space. … Able to play just about any style. He's built to do it all.
Negatives: Can play too high. It's impossible for him to get leverage and gets hit way too easily. … Old. This is it. By the time he gets any bigger weight-wise, he's not going to have too much time left. … Not polished. When he gets by on his raw ability, he can blow up an offense. However, he still needs time to figure out what he's doing.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? He'll be overdrafted because of his raw ability. He'll be a starter, but someone is going to draft him hoping for a true gamechanger, and he'll just be okay.
12. Devin Taylor, South Carolina 6-7, 275 Proj. 3
Positives: A giant. He's insanely tall with a great wingspan and frame. Tough to get around and uses his length well. … Hits well. He engulfs runners and is able to pack an intimidating punch. … Moves well. Fights to make a play and gets to the ball when given some space. Doesn't dog it.
Negatives: Too tall. He has problems with blockers going at his legs and he gets caught up a little too easily. Gets hit in the chest and gets knocked off his base on a regular basis. … Was surrounded by a ton of talent. Wasn't keyed on and didn't have to be the main man. He was almost never the focus. … Gets shoved too easily. He's tough, but he has a leverage issue.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? A good starter who'll flourish when he adds another 15 pounds of good muscle.
13. John Simon, Ohio State 6-1, 256Proj.
Positives: Always working and always hustling. Never takes a play off with a high-powered motor and the fire and fight to work himself into a play. … Quick off the ball. Cuts and moves well. Zips around the lumbering tackles without a problem. … Strong for his size. Doesn't back down and plays with a big-time attitude.
Negatives: Not big. He's built like a linebacker and might have to work only in a 4-3 scheme. He's not quite athletic enough to be a 3-4 outside linebacker. … Doesn't shed well. When he gets blocked, he sticks to his man. … A try-hard type without the tools. There's a hard ceiling on what he cn become.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? He'll bust his tail to be a part of a defensive line. He'll be fine, but limited.
14. William Gholston, Michigan State 6-6, 278 (Jr.) Proj. 4
Positives: Phenomenal frame. Tall, lean, and with the body and the ability to get to 285 but with the ability to play inside or out. He could work in just about any scheme. … Great in space. Fantastic in pursuit and terrific when plays are going away from him. … When he's in a groove, he's good against the run and always around the ball.
Negatives: Gets blocked way too easily. Plays up to his size at times, and not in a good way. Once someone gets into his chest, he's negated. … Can he get the motor revved up? He has to want to be great all the time. … Not a speed rusher. Doesn't have the speed to fly into the backfield considering his game is built around getting to the outside.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? Unlike his cousin, Vernon, he's going to generate a sack. Fans will expect the world, but he'll be nothing more than a decent part-time starter.
15. Mallicah Goodman, Clemson 6-4, 272 Proj. 4
Positives: Really, really strong. He's built to be a 3-4 end and can be used like a tackle. Has a great base and doesn't get knocked off. … Moves well. He's a nice pass rusher who fights linemen to get behind the line. Has a nice array of moves. … Great frame. He has a prototype body and looks the part. Should be great against the run.
Negatives: Not an athlete. He's not painfully slow, but he's not going to fly into the backfield. He's not going to be an elite NFL pass rusher. … Doesn't shed well. He's a fighter, but when someone locks on to him, it's over. … It's not like Clemson defensive ends have taken the world by storm. At best, they've mostly been disappointing, if not total busts.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? He won't come up with flashy stats, but he'll be a good, sound lineman for a long time.
16. Corey Lemonier, Auburn 6-4, 242Proj. 3
Positives: Great size with terrific upside. He's already a strong pass rusher with the potential to do far more once he adds a little bit of weight. He'll eventually be a solid 255 without losing a thing. … Good at making himself slippery to get into the backfield and get to a play. Finds ways to get unblocked. … Nice moves. He's a creative pass rusher who brings several looks.
Negatives: Not that strong against the run. He can get bullied by the stronger, tougher linemen and gets pushed of the ball too easily. … Not the smoothest of athletes. Not going to fly into the backfield on a regular basis at the next level unless he's in the right situation. … Not powerful enough and gets punched. He needs to play in space and might not fit as a 4-3 end.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? Want-to and pass rushing potential will keep him on a roster. He could eventually grow into a specialist.
17. Joe Kruger, Utah 6-7, 270Proj. 6
Positives: Very tall with a great frame. Uses his length well and is tough to get around. Great wingspan. … Hits linemen well and is able to keep them off of him. If he extends his arms, he's great at getting free. … Doesn't get knocked around. Doesn't seem to have problems getting through the wash with his height.
Negatives: Not all that creative. He doesn't do enough to get into the backfield and doesn't have a whole slew of moves. … Gets really, really tall. He doesn't seem to have problems around his feet, but he doesn't get low. … Needs a LOT of work and a lot of coaching. He needs to work on his moves.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? He'll add weight to be used like an extra tackle. He'll be functional.
18. Michael Buchanan, Illinois 6-5, 252 Proj. 5
Positives: Could be just scratching the surface. The talent has always been there to become a terrific pass rushing end, but he hasn't put it all together yet – that's a positive. With the right coaching and the right match lit under him, he could blossom. … A battler who can work at end or as a 3-4 linebacker. Works well in a variety of ways. … Nice moves with a good repertoire. He can get creative to get to the passer.
Negatives: Needs to keep adding bulk and get his body back after dropping weight last year. He had his jaw wired shut, dropped pounds, and spent the season playing catch-up. … Didn't play up to his talent last year. The entire team was a dog, but he was a particular disappointment. … Not a strong run defender. Misses too many tackles.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? Boom or bust. Worth the flier with tremendous upside. He'll be a decent part of the rotation in a few years.
19. Quanterus Smith, WKU 6-4, 246 Proj. 5
Positives: A pure pass rusher who gets off the ball in a hurry and has a great burst into the backfield. He can find a nice role as a specialist. … Always moving with good hustle and fight to get to the quarterback. … A nice frame with the room to get a little bit bigger. Has the burst and potential to be a mid-round find.
Negatives: Injured. He'll drop after suffering a torn ACL and won't likely be able to show what can do until next year. … Get by in the Sun Belt by simply being more athletic than everyone else. Doesn't do all the little things right. … Has to get bigger. He needs to be about 255 without losing any speed.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? In two years he'll be a terrific pass rushing specialist.
20. Stansly Maponga, TCU 6-2, 265 (Jr.) Proj. 6
Positives: Extremely active. Great motor and great want-to. Makes up for deficiencies by working to make something happen. … A fighter. He'll mix it up and he's not going to get short-changed against the run. … Great leverage. His size is a negative in some ways, but he's great at getting under the pads and moving his man.
Negatives: Doesn't have the right body. He's short and squatty with little room to get bigger. He doesn't pack on enough pounds. … Not a great athlete. He doesn't have the raw speed or quickness to be a top pass rusher… Has a big man's game without the big man's body.
Really, What's He Going To Do In The NFL? A decent backup and spot starter. He'll hang around the league for a while, but he'll be just a guy.

In the most recent MP screen, the main chief is wielding both an SMG and a plasma pistol, i was wondering that if you did this in gameplay, how do you think you charge up the pistol? if you hold down r to charge it the SMG is going to go crazy, i wonder if there is some sort of other way you could do it.. just a thought
Deleted User4/14/2004 1:19:47 AM PermalinkDoes anyone have any thoughts of how accurate dual wielding would be? In my opinion the accuracy while dual wielding should be less accurate than only shooting with one gun.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:59:16 AM PermalinkYou can charge the plasma pistol in halo2 because if you find a jackal you charge the pistol let go then fill em full of lead.I cant wait for the dual weapons.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:59:14 AM PermalinkIts a futile effort to try and figure out all of the intricacies of halo 2 yet. Whatever will be will be, Im sure Bungie will find the best way possible to get this dual wielding thing to work so dont worry, just be happy that there is a new screen!
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:55:27 AM PermalinkPEOPLE...there WILL be grenades its just that u cant have duel weapons and still access the game. Can you throw a nade when you hold 2 guns? Maybe if your hands are bigger than shaq's.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:53:16 AM PermalinkI can't remember where I read it but I think you will use both the Left and Right triggers... which, of course, seems logically given that trying to fire with the Y button and the A button is like trying to look at a bird in the sky with one eye and drive with the other eye. Plus, it would be much more comfortable to use what's right at hand: Left and Right triggers! I can't wait to learn all the Melee combos and button combinations! Keep up the good work, Bungie!

Deleted User4/14/2004 12:49:59 AM PermalinkI hope that they implement changing from single to duel weapons like a person said on gamefaqs... If you have two weapons that can be paired up, hit the black button a few times and it'll change it to duel weapons. Click once = Frag Click Twice = Plasma Click Third Time = Duel single handed weapons I think it would save a button from being used (that can be used for other things) and still have it relatively simple.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:48:11 AM Permalinkyou need to have grenades, i'd say the black button or something like that. but then the question becomes does have two weopons out count as your total 2 weapons or not. if it does then you don't have to drop the smg for example to throw the grenade, you just have to put it away to throw the grenade. if weilding 2 guns only counts as one and you still have lets say a pistol, then will they make you drop one weapon to use a grenade??? all too confusing.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:47:24 AM Permalink[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Incognito 7 Wait then how do you drop one of your guns to use grenades? (They ARE handy in "sticky" situations after all...) Black button mayhaps? Any other sugestions?[/quote] Yeah, there's going to be a seperate button that will toggle the mode on and off. Jaime Greisemer already said this in a magazine article.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:42:52 AM Permalinkyou really wouldnt need grenades if you had 2 weapons would you? oh,and this duel weilding looks awesome. think about it-plasma pistol overcharge to drain an elites shield,then SMG to finish it off!
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:42:37 AM PermalinkWait then how do you drop one of your guns to use grenades? (They ARE handy in "sticky" situations after all...) Black button mayhaps? Any other sugestions?
Maraxus64/14/2004 12:38:28 AM PermalinkThe idea behind the dual-wielding is that you can't throw grenades. Rather, the gun in your left hand will be fired by pulling the left trigger. Simply, it's using both triggers to fire both weapons. No grenades, but oh well...
DarkFire3294/14/2004 12:37:07 AM PermalinkYeah, but its not locked yet, so don't be afraid to post. And besides, theres like 8 threads about the new screenshot, so if they lock this they better lock the rest of the screen shot threads too.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:36:39 AM Permalinkmaybe you use R for the plasma pistol and L for the smg so you could hold down one trigger and not have to waste amo with the other
littlerat4/14/2004 12:36:35 AM PermalinkLeft Trigger for one weapon, right trigger for the other weapon. probably [b]if[/b] the weapons are the same, it'll probably just stay as one trigger. but you never know, bung!e can be surprising sometimes.
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:35:46 AM Permalinki already posted this quesiton bout 2 hours ago, look for "duel gun control" as a title
Deleted User4/14/2004 12:35:35 AM PermalinkThink of it this way. The left trigger= nades right? Well instead of a nade in the Master Cheifs left hand, he has a gun. Meaning i hit R....my Plasma charges, i hit L and my SMG fires.

Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) has been making business jets since 1980, but seldom on its own. Brief collaborations in the 1990s with Yakovlev and the Chicago-based Pritzker family led ultimately to IAI's most important and enduring partnership with Gulfstream in 2001.
Nearly 13 years after Gulfstream agreed to market and support IAI's business jet products, the partnership that produced the midsize G150 and super-midsize G280 stands at a cross-roads.
Soon after obtaining an airworthiness certification by the US Federal Aviation Administration in September 2012, the G280 entered what is likely to be a long production run.
The question for the IAI-Gulfstream partnership is determining what comes next. Gulfstream already occupies the market segment above the G280 with the G450 series, which is likely to be replaced by the still-unannounced P42 project.
Answering that question is a key decision for executives at IAI's commercial aircraft group, the division that manages production of business jets, multiple components for the Boeing 787 and other programmes.
"It's a unique relationship," says David Dagan, executive vice-president and general manager of IAI's commercial aircraft group.
"If you ask everybody at IAI, the main goal for us is to find the future with Gulfstream. So there is discussion. We will continue discussing, finding the way," he says.
Thirteen years ago, the new partners considered a broad range of potential projects, to include collaborating on a supersonic business jet and leveraging IAI's experience with the supersonic Kfir fighter. Gulfstream is still actively exploring supersonic technology, with a string of patent claims over the past decade.
But the partnership has been good to both parties far beyond the marketing of Gulfstream-branded G280s and G150s. The relationship allowed Gulfstream to supply G550 jets to the Israeli air force, which IAI modified into special mission platforms including a conformal airborne early warning system.
On IAI's side, Gulfstream's support helped to re-imagine the design of the G200, as the replacement G280 bears Gulfstream's trademark T-tail, sturdy wing and plush interior. Gulfstream also had a strong impact within IAI's organisation and management style.
As an executive who spent nearly two decades away from the business jet operation before returning in 2007, Dagan noticed a dramatic change inside the company.
"The difference is the way we design the aircraft, the way that we are working with the suppliers," Dagan says. "The focus on quality is much, much – a higher standard today. If you ask me, this is the main contribution of the work that we are doing with Gulfstream."
Malfunctions discovered during flight tests are now investigated thoroughly to find – and correct – the root cause.
It is a philosophy that has been carried over into other parts of IAI's commercial aircraft group. In 2008, reports surfaced that IAI was among the suppliers identified by Boeing as falling behind on the 787 programme. IAI officials later attributed the problems to the late receipt of export clearances.
Once described as the most significant tier two supplier on the programme, IAI still plays a large role in the 787 supply chain. The company delivers floor beams, the cargo floor and door surrounds for the 787-8 and 787-9 models.
Boeing has not yet initiated discussions about IAI's role on the 787-10 variant, Dagan says.
IAI's portfolio as a manufacturer of business jets and composite aerospace components is unique in the global supply chain, and a position the company hopes to grow as commercial aircraft demand booms.
"We are trying to be build to [specification] and not build to print," Dagan says. "Other things we concentrate on are complicated subassemblies – not small and simple."
Over the past decade, the group has re-organised to outsource lower-value, touch-labour work.
"For example we are doing three-axis machining, or five-axis machining. We are not doing sheet metal parts," he says. "We have suppliers in Israel that are doing parts."

Mets departure would be economic, emotional loss to Treasure Coast
PORT ST. LUCIE — Joseph DiCicco headed toward his car, leaving Tradition Field with his son and nephew in tow. Suddenly the boys bolted back into the road and flagged down the Jeep that had just pulled out of the players' lot. They came away with grins and the autograph of New York Mets bullpen ace Bobby Parnell.

Play time is over
I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser but I am still human. Which means I still will make foolish mistakes occasionally. I have learned and grown from prior mistakes and I plan to keep living and growing. A few years ago I took a personality test and this particular test scored me as a "S" - introverted-people oriented person. I can get along with just about anyone. I would describe myself as a strong, funny, dependable and caring man who is determined and focused on learning and growing as a person. Before I can even think about getting romantically involved with someone I need to know something, "Can you be my friend?" (yeah, I know, I took it back to kindergarten). Seriously though, if I am looking to you as potential mate you have to be my friend and I yours. Take your time to get to know me.

I'm open and willing to discover some new favorite places here in Atlanta if you are. As far as Travel destinations Ghana, Kenya, Dominican Republic, Thailand and Australia are nice (or so I've heard). I really feel left out of the travel game.

What You Can Expect
Next, your aerial tour takes you to the Three Nuns rock formation, which stands guard by the Chapel of the Holy Cross. This remarkable church rises 250 feet (76 meters) out of a massive red rock but blends in with its surroundings, appearing as a natural formation.
Then, soar past Snoopy Rock, which resembles the lovable Peanuts character, before continuing to Schnebly Hill Road toward Wilson Mountain, where Steamboat Rock sits. As you fly to Sterling Pass, be sure to watch for native wildlife such as elk, deer and wild javelinas among the rugged Red Rock Country landscape.
Before heading back, see if you can spot the Secret Canyon, located within the Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness. Then see Bear Mountain, Red Canyon and Boynton Canyon, and admire the ancient cliff dwellings of the Sinaguan people, who lived in the area from 500 AD to 1425 AD.
After your thrilling ride, you'll be taken back to your hotel.

New Short Film "Winter Solstice" on Location in Montana
This new narrative short film wrapped production in January 2015 and is currently in the editing phase. John was Writer and Director on this project, with longtime collaborator and Montana filmmaker Brian Murnion as Producer, through his company Chute Media. John handed over the Director of Photography reins to Jim Abel for this project.
The film was shot very quickly over a two days on a cold and snowy ranch near Joliet, Montana.

Documentary Short
"Staying On My Feet" Now Online
John was DP on this short doc that was recently completed by London-based filmmaker Ivy Jelisavac. Ivy met the subject, Stascia Lynne, online through a fitness website and was inspired by her story, so inspired that at age 21 she decided to come to New York City alone and for the first time to make this project. The film was shot in 5 days, and John worked as a one-person crew on a Canon 5D Mark II. The footage was later graded and edited in Germany.

Why let one person ruin your hard work? Ignore him and keep going.
Dark Interval is a total conversion mod, the new incarnation of the Original Storyline of Half-Life 2. You will find your way through the nightmarish world of devastated Earth. Starting from the suburbs of City 17, laying your path through the alien factories, the underwater Rebel base, war-engulfed city streets and the alien Citadel, you will feel that dark atmosphere of the Original Storyline. Development started on Apr 10, 2010.
Why let one person ruin your hard work? Ignore him and keep going.
If you're not planning to work on this any more, would you consider releasing what you did finish? It seems a shame for it all to go to waste.
Plz never release a unfinished product! It destroys everything, and also there is no learning effect for the stupid trolls.
I dunno, ask romanix199.
Умер ? Ну ок, чо. Меня тоже выбешивает делать мод со всеми багами сурса (остальные причины уверен - отговорка).
Но наработки то выложи! Серьезно.
Если я с кем-то соберусь поделиться, то определенно, наиопределеннейше, не с тобой.
Sad to hear this mod is dead, just found it and like it, but i know the feeling of the trolls ;) they just ruin your mood. Tbh, do it like me, leave the moddb community, develope your stuff only with good friends and maybe release it to the community when its done or just to trusted persons.
This isn't trolling. This is the inability to just understand. This person, he asks me to answer him. Funny! Because I answered about 20 times, out of 200 times he asked. And I am not exaggerating.
>Tbh, do it like me, leave the moddb community, develope your stuff only with good friends
Yeah. What were you developing?
>and maybe release it to the community when its done or just to trusted persons
That's the Internet. No absolute proofing against untrusted or unwanted people is possible.
Btw, do you know if admins could take the initiative and archive (or whatever that's called) a mod when they see a sign like 'the mod is canceled', or do they only do it on author's request? Just, you know, as to not to do something inadvertly here.
I developed the Halflife 1 Mod Abyss 048, after i got trolled a bit, mostly dont care about that, but than i got hacked, steam acc, email acc and ****. With a sweet little message @ my desktop, your mod sucks. Thank you Internet :D
Yes you can archive it, move it to a "hold/stopped" state like i did for my mod, you also can remove this some day if you finished it.
And yes here are admins and they ban these trolls/stalkers. Just send a Message to them.
If you need any further help or want to talk with a developer that got ****** by community, feel free to contact me ;)
Извинишь оставлю в покое не извинишь пинай на себя я не оставлю тебя в покое я хочу чтобы ты мне ответил.

text: The daughter of comedian Tommy Chong, actress Rae Dawn Chong began appearing on Canadian television in her preteen years. Chong's first major TV role was on the popular 1974 sitcom The Wiz Kid of Riverton. Seven years later, she exploded onto the big screen as the mud-covered cave dweller Ika in Quest for Fire (1981), which earned her the Canadian equivalent of the Academy Award. Playing a variety of striking characters, she would be prominently cast in such films as The Color Purple (1985), American Flyers (1987), and Commando (1985). By the 90's, Chong was a bankable actress with multiple projects per year, including successful TV roles as well, on shows like Wild Card and Mysterious Ways. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hey there!
I am a fun loving guy that is not afraid to laugh at himself from time to time (aka daily). I have a passion for people and animals alike. My job currently allows me to serve people in a way that changes their lives and I am so grateful for that opportunity every day. I have a lot of goals and dreams for the future and am looking for someone to share them with as well as share in hers I have been very blessed in my life. I have had the opportunity to live not one but two dreams. When I was a kid I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I was able to live that dream and played in the Anaheim Angels organization for a few years. I also had dreams of being a doctor, and I am fulfilling that dream currently. I am the luckiest guy on the planet, and hope to someday have that special person to share it all with.

While visiting South Africa Hillary Rae shot an terrifying GoPro Hero 4 video of a 11.5 foot long great white shark that was trying to bite through the diving cage she was inside of with her screaming friend.
While shark cage diving, our cage was attacked by an 11.5 foot Great White shark. The round buoy attached to the side of the cage was bent in half. Some of the lining of the outside blue barrier bar was bitten through as well. It was quite the up close and personal experience!

In honor of the 4th of July, Sam the Eagle does his best to seriously recite the opening paragraph of the Declaration of Independence before he's interrupted and forced to perform his recitation with a humming chorus of muppet disrupters.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
by Lori Dorn at on
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has created a rather graphic video by using crash test dummies to show what can happen when fireworks are handled inappropriately and explosions go awry.
Americans have a longstanding tradition of enjoying hot dogs, hamburgers and apple pie at family gatherings to celebrate Independence Day. Some festivities also include fireworks. Unfortunately, what may seem like harmless fun with fireworks, can quickly turn into a tragedy. In 2014, this became a reality for thousands of families. According to our most recent fireworks report, 11 consumers were killed (up from eight in the previous year) and more than 10,000 (down from more than 11,000) were injured by fireworks. …These reports remind us that improper fireworks use can be deadly to the user and also harmful to friends, loved ones and neighbors. Other fireworks incidents have become deadly when banned, professional or homemade devices are involved.

The U.S. CPSC has also created a humorous but informational graphic that offers valuable data about fireworks, the injuries that can be sustained and who most often gets hurt.
