Optimizing Distribution and Rationalizing Inventories
Most chemical companies are still unable to profitably respond to highly variable demand, or to execute predictable product supply strategies. A previous note, So What's the Big Deal with Chemicals?, presented the current state of the chemicals industry, including a discussion of the challenges the industry faces.
Part Two of the series So What's the Big Deal with Chemicals?
Optimizing the distribution network and rationalizing inventories at each point in that network are hence the keys to an efficient supply chain and smoother operations. An optimal inventory targeting capability that calculates all the components of inventory at every point in the supply chain, and that then compares historical forecasts to actual sales data, and models all the processes that contribute to inventory, should allow users to quickly identify problem areas and make adjustments that decrease inventory without reducing customer service. As for maximizing inventory efficiency, at each point in the supply chain one should get the information needed to determine optimum inventory levels, and redeploy the excess to improve service at high-priority locations.
Additionally, some optimization tools should help companies minimize the combined costs of manufacturing and holding inventory, without necessarily sacrificing service. These tools must allow users to examine all the factors that contribute to inventory and production costs, such as cycle times and cycle stock levels, production line transition costs, inventory tradeoffs, and so on. By using the cycle optimizing tool, production planners should be able to determine optimal policies for product frequency, cycle length or production campaign length, as well as target levels for cycle and safety-stock inventories. In this way, it might be possible to set realistic inventory policies that support both good service and good profit margins.
Furthermore, industry roles are fluid and ever-changing, given that nearly 30 percent of chemicals sales are to other chemical companies. The largest players are typically basic life science (pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals), industrial gases, and specialty chemicals (perfumes and cosmetics, paints and ink, soaps and detergents, dyes and pigments, and so on) producers. The rest are critical middlemen, who process and add value to basic commodities, and resell the still unfinished products for further processing. Some large companies might sell the product of their commodity division to their specialty division (thus becoming their own major customer), or they might sell basic commodities to an intermediary and then buy back the finished product for further use by the specialty division.
On the other hand, the manufacturing process is often the weakest link in the supply chain as a whole, since component products and semi-finished materials require long lead times that impede quick-acting demand-driven principles. Manufacturers can do very little to accelerate the subassembly processes, since the laws of chemistry (in other words, the processing times) are largely inflexible, posing challenges for manufacturers who want to integrate their demand forecasting, sales teams, plant floor personnel, and so on. It is thus not that uncommon for fierce competitors to temporarily partner so as to reduce costs: they will often swap a commodity in one location for the same one in another location. Tracing these complicated transactions is very difficult, the more so because of the fluctuating prices of these commodities.
Production Planning and Scheduling
In addition to inventory management, effective production planning and scheduling is the other required core competency of competitive chemical supply chains. But, as in the aforementioned case of inventory management, the growing complexity of the chemical industry has made achieving this goal more challenging, due to the need for long-term upstream scheduling with short-horizon finished product plans. Accordingly, savvy production planners should know how to reshape plans smoothly and responsively, without breaking the rhythm of the plant, and they should be able to visualize the impact of a planning decision on the entire supply chain. Competent scheduling software has to be built on a production model unique to chemical operations, with features like product-to-product transitions, lot quality variability, cycle and campaign simulation, tank farm and complex storage modeling, available to promise (ATP), capable to promise (CTP), and sales monitoring, all in a production environment that runs at maximum capacity.
One should be able to obtain aggregated and detail views of the supply chain model for decision support during sales forecasting, production scheduling, and product distribution. Also, there is often the need to stabilize production cycles in a "make to inventory" business, through calculated inventory target levels based on planned customer service levels. These levels typically must calculate inventory target levels at the product, package, and location level, and show the aggregate inventory levels required for a business to support a given service level.
Management of inventory at customer and other consignment locations, with customer specifications of quality, packaging, and transportation, is also often required. Additional intricate features that the system should support include variable scheduling horizons (to decouple packaged from bulk material); rate-based production (long batches); the handling of flow rates from feedstock to bulk (rail cars and barges); pipeline versus "on-hand" inventory management; the modeling of unprocessed materials (including recycles and multiple produced items) from a single feedstock; the ability to find equivalent products, locations, and packages; and so on.
Producing chemicals typically involves all of the three common physical states of ingredients, namely, solids, liquids, and gases. From a formula and mixing perspective, this necessitates an impeccable unit of measure (UOM) conversion engine. Whether the formula requires conversion of US measurements to metric or imperial measurements, liquids to solids, or gases to liquids, such conversions should be transparent to the production of the finished goods; in some instances free form conversion tables can be extremely useful. The aforementioned ATP capability comes in handy here for providing a tool to almost instantly analyze and commit customer orders while keeping an eye on profitability; users can also instantly determine if an order is within forecast, and see the best way to fulfill the order (whether from existing inventory, planned production, or alternate sourcing locations).
Furthermore (principally in specialty chemicals), customer service is increasingly becoming the differentiating lever, since beyond the trend toward consignments or vendor-managed inventories (VMI), customers are demanding services that go far beyond mere delivery and replenishment. For instance, a sanitation chemicals maker might sell, procure, manage, and ultimately dispose of its products on behalf of its hospital customers, while a paint producer might oversee and operate spray painting facilities within auto assembly plants of customers.
Research and development (R&D) is steadily becoming more about customer service than about mere product and process innovation, and might include developing unique products for preferred customers. New product development, at least for specialty chemicals, is often more about a one-to-one relationship with the customer and understanding its need than it is about building a better molecule, since in this industry, brands matter much less than in, say, the retail or automotive sectors. Brand loyalty is not what keeps customers, but rather the right price, along with an accommodating relationship (for example, consignment inventories), and, especially for specialty chemical manufacturers, special customer care and service, bundled with the ability to develop proprietary ingredients.
Consequently, defining and formulating recipe-based products requires industry-tailored solutions to adequately allow product development. Effective recipe management is a must, which means developing, perfecting, and protecting franchise products, their potential successors, and the failed prototypes that preceded them. Many specialty chemical producers, for example, are still struggling to compare development and production costs (factoring in the impact of manufacturing capacity and supply chain speed) against the potential value of a new product. Combining process-industry-oriented product lifecycle management (PLM) capabilities with counterpart process-manufacturing-oriented enterprise resource planning (ERP) capabilities can produce a unified sample management solution that would allow free-of-charge product samples (for evaluation purposes) to be shipped in the same manner as commercialized products.
Combining these PLM solutions with process-manufacturing-oriented supply chain solutions could further provide unique recipe optimization capabilities for evaluating current inventory to develop least-cost or best-fit product formulations or recipes, and thereby accelerate the process of new product development and introduction (NPDI) or new product development and launch (NPDL). This will help achieve globally compliant products with lower R&D costs and a shorter time-to-market.
In the domain of specialty chemicals in particular, the NPDI process wins more business by recognizing and exploiting a customer need for more (for example) adhesives, flavoring or scenting agents, polymers, and so on, than from trailblazing a new market with a purely technological innovation. Faster time-to-market and time-to-volume means a greater advantage for these companies over their peers—and a greater chance to gain market share, since in many chemical companies (and particularly in specialty chemical companies) every order may represent a new product. For example, it might suffice to tweak an existing formula, or to replace one chemical ingredient with another chemical ingredient, but this places three demands on the functioning of the software.
First, since the resulting chemical is being produced for the first time, a quote would normally be required; consequently, the software needs to have the ability to easily convert prospective quotes into firm orders and trigger an event in the production schedule. Second, since new formulas will be needed, the maintenance and management of formulas needs to be streamlined and responsive to customer inquiries, possibly while the customer is still on the phone. Templating ("copy from/to") would be a useful tool in this regard; one would start with an existing formula as a template for the new formula, and make ingredient changes as warranted. And third, to complement the templating concept (and because many chemical properties are interchangeable), a suggested ingredient substitution would facilitate the production process. Automated or suggested ingredient substitution could allow the user company to fulfill customer orders that otherwise would have to be abandoned or, at best, delayed.
Lagging in Data Integration
However, the chemical industry customarily lags behind other manufacturing sectors in terms of data integration and reconciliation, in terms of creating comprehensive and accurate customer profiles. Consequently, there has been a lack of ability to prioritize customers and answer the basic question of whether the customer is worth keeping after all. There is an increasing awareness of the need for a customer segmentation that would grant a high degree of attention for the most profitable customers, while using more efficient means (such as an e-commerce Web site, price increases, or additional surcharges) for high-cost, less profitable customers—and even abandoning the worst ones. Many rightfully wonder about the point of squeezing costs out of the manufacturing and upstream supply chain, if the company cannot manage its transaction margins (see Applications Giants Bolster Their Pricing Management Capabilities).
Thus, savvy chemical companies are using sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes to better anticipate and more profitably respond to demand, but they are also prioritizing the use of price optimization to develop price elasticity (customer sensitivity) curves to outline price or volume tradeoffs, linking these to sales contract and raw material purchase contract compliances and risks. Also, given their fluid and often competitive relationships with other players, they also try to develop plans to sell excess capacity in sluggish times, profitably allocate capacity in boom times, and identify which products need to be manufactured and which need to be bought as finished goods (outsourced) from other chemical suppliers. This last need may be driven by the requirement to satisfy contractual elements, which often make up the majority of sales volume, and constrain opportunities to change product mix.
Of paramount importance is an efficient optimization engine that can map the demand forecast across the supply chain, and provide sales and production plans that accommodate capacity limitations while maximizing profitability. Product and customer mix can then be analyzed interactively to find a business blend that improves equipment use, and alternative scenarios can be easily run to assess the impact of various customer and production options.
Don't Forget Environmental Regulations
Environmental regulations impose strict monitoring and production restraints; the manufacture and use of hazardous chemicals requires strict adherence, especially in North America and the European Union (EU). The chemical industry (and companies that rely on chemicals within their plants) must address a myriad of new regulations, including the Restrictions of Hazardous Substances Directive (ROHS), and other regulations that require compositional analysis, the development of material safety data sheets (MSDS), environmental analysis, and hazards identification.
The chemical industry faces particular scrutiny from a regulatory perspective. Companies have been discussing the impacts of various programs, including European Classification and Labeling Inspections of Preparations including Safety Data Sheets (ECLIPS); Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH); Science, Children, Awareness, Legislation and Evaluation (SCALE); and Global Harmonized System for the Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). For more information, see Process Manufacturing: Industry Specific Requirements; Part Two: Chemical.
Mission-critical processes that contribute to the cost of doing business include implementing (and ensuring compliance with) employee safety guidelines; implementing food contact rules; monitoring emissions (this is often delineated by regulatory permits); and even validating the origin and composition of products. In other words, the introduction of hazardous materials and dangerous goods (which are closely regulated and must be reported) constitutes a new complexity for chemical industry process manufacturing: this creates two conditions that can be greatly simplified by software.
First, when creating a new formula or modifying an existing one, the formula must be analyzed for the presence of hazardous materials. This check requires a continuously updated and current list of regulated materials that are considered hazardous. Also required is the percentage of these materials relative to the other ingredients. Secondly, the reporting of hazardous materials must comply with a specific format, namely MSDS; these sheets will usually accompany the customer's bill of lading (BOL), and therefore must be integrated with the billing process. While MSDS copies can be kept on file and manually matched with the BOL, most companies will not want to risk noncompliance and would rather seek an automated remedy. Companies who like to haphazardly "live on the edge" will rely on manual procedures to determine when a formula or product requires an updated MSDS.
More prudent companies, however, will seek to have update notification incorporated in their enterprise-wide software, along with a new, automatically generated MSDS, as needed. The programming of hazardous material compliance is not trivial, particularly when one considers that it involves list processing and matching, percent of total analysis, scheduling, and formatting. Bolt-on solutions do exist, but because of the requirement for tight integration, it is hard to argue against an enterprise-wide software solution that includes this functionality straight out of the box. Depending on the importance of formula analysis and MSDS reporting within the user organization, the inclusion of this functionality in a software offering could be a deal maker or, at the very least, a tie breaker. Also, each mode of bulk chemical transportation, including rail, truck, and marine transportation, must comply with regulations and safe-handling specifications.

Molecular markers are commonly used by plant biologists to perform a number of tasks, including the genetic fingerprinting of plant varieties, determining similarities among inbred varieties, mapping of plant genomes, and establishing phylogeny among plant species. New techniques for the extraction, purification, and amplification of plant DNA are being developed on a regular basis, enabling researchers to decrease preparation time and obtain readily reproducible results. Plants can now be compared at the molecular level in several ways, via examination of restriction fragments, identification of isoenzymes (protein/gel electrophoresis), or products of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
One technique which can provide useful data for the comparison of plant types is random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. This is a modified PCR technique involving the amplification of whole-plant DNA extracted from leaves or other plant organs. In the RAPD technique, multiple 10 base pair (bp) oligonucleotide primers are added each to an individual sample of DNA which is then subjected to PCR. The resulting amplified DNA markers are random polymorphic segments with band sizes from 100 to 3000 bp depending upon the genomic DNA and the primer. This technique is sensitive, fast, requires the use of no radioactive probes, and is easily performed. RAPD markers are limited in their usefulness, however, in that they are dominant alleles, so it is necessary to prepare many closely linked markers to insure reliable comparisons among plant populations.

1. Add 400 ml extraction buffer into a 1.5 ml sterile Eppendorf tube.
2. Use the lid of the Eppendorf to pinch out a disk of leaf material into the tube.
3. Homogenize the leaf tissue with a pestle that fits the tube tightly. Keep pestle clean!
4. Centrifuge extracts in a micro centrifuge for 1 minute, and transfer 300 ml of the supernatant to a fresh tube.
5. Add one volume (300 ml) of isopropanol, to precipitate the DNA for 5 minutes, then centrifuge for 5 minutes.
6. Discard the supernatant and air dry the sample completely (about 30 minutes on the bench).
7. Add 100 ml of H2O and allow the DNA to dissolve for 10 minutes or longer without agitation (recovery of DNA is improved by dissolving at 4o C overnight).
8. Centrifuge sample for 1 minute and collect the supernatant. There should be enough DNA for direct RAPD analysis. This can vary and can be measured with a DNA dipstick (Invitrogen), or by running agarose gels with standard DNA samples. (note: samples containing extracted DNA in amounts greater than ~5 ng / ml or more than the recommended amount of Taq may produce smears rather than useful bands).
9. DNA can be stored at 4o C for at least 6 months, or longer at -20o C.
B. PCR Protocol
Unlike normal PCR which uses two, RAPD only uses one primer with an arbitrary sequence. Therefore, amplification in the RAPD process occurs anywhere along a genome that contains two complementary sequences to the primer which are within the length limits of PCR (~3 kb). These protocols work well for random 10‑mers.
Each group will prepare three PCR primer reactions as follows.
1. Mix the following in a 0.5 ml microfuge tube:
2. Centrifuge for approximately 20 seconds to mix.
3. Layer 50 ml mineral oil on the top of each tube to prevent evaporation.
4. Place samples in the thermocycler. Cycle at 94o C for 1 minute, 36o C for 1 minute, 72o C for 2 minutes. Run the reaction for 45 cycles (approximately 5 hours to complete).
C. Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Procedure (1% 50 ml gel)
1. Prepare electrophoresis buffer and fill the electrophoresis tank.
2. Prepare casting mold by wrapping masking tape around the sides, making sure to fold the tape to cover the bottom of the plastic mold to prevent leaks.
3. Prepare agarose gel at desired concentration. Melt in microwave until boiling. Once agarose is dissolved, allow to cool to ~45o C before pouring (1 to 1.5 min.). Add 5 ml ethidium bromide to hot agar and swirl to mix just prior to pouring.
4. Insert comb and make sure no bubble are caught under the teeth. Remove comb GENTLY after gel hardens by pulling straight up. Remove tape, but leave the gel slab in the mold.
5. Place the gel in the electrophoresis tank and add sufficient buffer to cover it to a depth of about 1 mm.
6. Prepare DNA samples by mixing 25 ml of the PCR reaction mixture with 4 ml of the 6X loading buffer in fresh Eppendorf tubes.
7. Load samples into the wells in the gel with a micropipet (use a new tip with each sample), taking care not to cross‑contaminate the wells.
8. Include a molecular marker (1 Kb ladder).
9. Set the voltage on the power supply to ~55 V and attach top cover, making sure that the positive and negative poles are placed correctly (wells are closest to the negative pole, DNA will migrate to the positive pole).
10. When the bromothymol blue marker dye has migrated to the mid‑point of the gel, turn off the power and remove the gel.
11. Visualize DNA patterns by removing the gel slab from the mold and placing it on a UV transluminator. Record the pattern by photography or computer image capture.
Determining Relatedness/Identity of Plant Genotypes and Varieties
A. Data Entry
RAPD produces a large number of DNA bands of various sizes from each of the different samples which are prepared.Ā These bands migrate according to size during electrophoresis.Ā To analyze RAPD data, one must first count the total number of unique bands (thus if several lanes share a band, that band is only counted once toward the total) for each primer used.Ā In this lab, we only use one primer, so this task is quite simple.Ā Then, the presence or absence of each individual band is recorded for each lane on the gel representing a different plant sample.Ā The easiest way to do this is to construct a matrix on paper with each sample representing one column and each band in one row.Ā The presence of a band is recorded as a one (1) and the absence as a zero (0; see example below).
Example Data Matrix
The data can now be entered into the RAPDistance program as follows:
1. Start the program from DOS by entering C:\RAPD>RAPDIN, or by clicking on the RAPDIN icon on the Windows desktop.
2. You will be prompted to enter a name for your new datafile, then the number of samples (4 in the example below), a name for each sample (such as A, B, C, etc.), the number of "populations" (in our experiment we will have 1 population represented by four different plant species), the number of primers, the name of each primer, the length of each primer (the number ofĀ nucleotides), and the total number of bands produced by each primer (if thirteen bands are the maximum produced, this number would be 13.
After entering the data, the program will then prompt you to record whether each band is present or absent for each sample.Ā You will enter a "1" for present, and a "0" for absent.Ā At the completion of the data entry process, the data file will be stored as "filename.dat" where the filename is the name you gave previously .
3. Exit the program (in Windows, the DOS box will automatically terminate).
B.Ā Producing the Genetic Distance Profile
1. From DOS, type in C:\RAPD\ RAPDALG, or click on the RAPDALG icon on the Windows desktop.Ā When prompted, enter the name of the data file (lettuce.dat).Ā The program will produce a new file, lettuce.njt which can be used to produce a dendogram (branching tree showing relatedness of each sample) based on genetic distance.
2. Exit the program.
3. From a text editor (Windows Write, MS Word, WordPerfect, etc.) find the file Tdraw.asc in the RAPD folder.Ā When you open the file, you will see that it is a genetic distance dendrogram based on the data you entered.
Questions for Discussion
1.Ā In this lab, one of the four samples examined exhibited the greatest genetic distance from the other three.Ā Which sample was this?Ā Why is the distance so great?
2.Ā Which of the four samples are the most closely related?

Yahoo is still in turmoil after ousting CEO Carol Bartz. The company has been in trouble for years, but the move opened up the question of its future once again. While the board is putting together a list of options, it has tried to downplay the possibility of a sale.
The board is looking at other alternatives to unlock some of Yahoo's potential and start driving up revenue again.
But that hasn't stopped a number of groups from approaching Yahoo and looking to buy the company or parts of it.
And, despite its seeming reluctance, the board is hearing everyone out.
According to All Things D, the list of companies and investors interested in Yahoo or a piece of it is quite long, though it's mostly the usual suspects, large venture capital or equity funds, the perennial candidate AOL, and even Alibaba, the Chinese company in which Yahoo owns a large stake.
The high-profile venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is said to be working with private equity firm Silver Lake for a possible bid for Yahoo. Russia's DST Global, who has made a string of investments in Silicon Valley's who's who, Facebook, Zynga, Twitter etc., but also SoftBank, which jointly-owns Yahoo Japan.
Also possibly interested is former News Corp. exec Peter Chernin, backed by Providence Equity Partner, All Things D informs. Finally, Alibaba may also be looking to take over Yahoo.
The latter option is one of the most interesting. Yahoo owns a large stake in Alibaba, which it got in return for Yahoo's Chinese properties. Alibaba's founder and CEO hasn't been a big fan of Carol Bartz and sees Yahoo as a burden more than anything else.
At the same time, Yahoo's current market cap, of over $18 billion, is largely made up of its two big chunks in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan. The fate of these two investments is going to be crucial in any future plan Yahoo may have, be it a sale or a partnership.

WQXR and WNYC want to enhance the spirit of 9/11's Ten Anniversary. For the past several weeks, we've asked listeners to propose music that evokes the occasion. We've compiled works spanning many genres -- everything from Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Notorious B.I.G., to Bach, Ravel and Vaughan Williams -- in a special 24/7 audio stream. You can also hear the stories behind listeners' selections in their own words. Find the entire playlist here.
This commemorative installation for the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001 when thousands of lives were lost and the landscape of New York City was changed forever speaks to the unwavering spirit of the City. Adams wanted to create a collage for all New Yorkers to experience a small healing reminder of our strength and resilience. Adams chose variations on the colors red, white and blue to speak to our unity as a nation. We asked New Yorkers to send us images and words of hope. We Will Rise is the outcome.

People often ask us how they should wear their engagement ring after they've gotten married. Here are some options:
1. Wear your wedding band and engagement ring together on the left hand. This is very common in the U.S., and is probably based on the fact that the heart is on the left side of the body. The wedding band is typically worn inside the engagement ring (closer to the heart). Wearing the rings on the left hand is particularly advantageous for right-handed folks, because the left hand generally stays more protected.
2. Wear your wedding band and engagement ring together on the right hand. This is popular with guitarists, violinists and other musicians, and those who need maximum dexterity in their left hands. It can also be a good choice for left-handed people whose right hands will be less active than their left hands.
3. Wear one ring on each hand. (This is what I do.) Depending on the style of the engagement ring and wedding band, they may look better each standing alone. Wearing one ring on each hand helps protect from wear caused by rings rubbing against each other, and it reduces the bulk on any particular finger. Because I'm right-handed, I wear the more delicate ring on my left hand, because it doesn't get as much wear there.
But of course, you can do WHATEVER you want! Plenty of people choose not to wear their engagement rings after they're married, or only for special occasions.
If you're in the market, be sure to check out our wedding rings and engagement rings!

1. To prepare soufflés: Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Coat four 6-ounce (1 cup) ramekins or custard cups with cooking spray. Lightly coat with breadcrumbs; shake out excess. Put a kettle of water on to boil for the water bath.
2. Melt butter (or heat olive oil) in a small saucepan over low heat; stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils. Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking constantly, for about 3 minutes. Stir in mustard, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. The sauce will be very thick.
3. Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl until blended. Whisk in the sauce until blended. Gently stir in goat cheese.
4. Place egg whites in a large clean bowl. Add cream of tartar. Beat the whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form; increase speed to high and continue beating until stiff and glossy peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold whites in 3 additions into the cheese sauce until blended.
5. Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins. Run a fingertip (or chopstick) around the inside of the rim so the soufflés will form a high hat as they puff up. Place the ramekins in a baking pan.
6. Place the baking pan in the oven and carefully add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake the soufflés until puffed and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand in the water bath for 20 minutes. (The soufflés can be eaten right out of the oven, if desired, with salad on the side.)
7. Transfer the soufflés to a rack and let cool to room temperature; they will shrink. Cover and refrigerate (for up to 24 hours) until ready to reheat.
8. About 40 minutes before serving, position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Using a thin spatula, carefully loosen the sides of the soufflés. Lift them out (they will be surprisingly sturdy) and place, right-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. (If any soufflé bits stick to a ramekin, loosen with the spatula and press back into place.) Bake the soufflés until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
9. Meanwhile, to prepare salad & dressing: Rub a large bowl with the cut side of the garlic; discard garlic. Add lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper; whisk to blend. When the soufflés are ready, add salad greens to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Sprinkle with goat cheese. Using a wide spatula, place a warm soufflé in the center of each salad. Serve immediately.
Tip: To bring cold eggs to room temperature quickly:
Place in a mixing bowl and set it in a larger bowl of warm water for a few minutes; the eggs will beat to a greater volume.

Overview: Indiana's Statewide LiDAR data is produced at 1.5-meter average post spacing for all 92 Indiana Counties covering more than 36,420 square miles. New LiDAR data was captured except where previously captured LiDAR data exists, or the participating County bought-up to a higher resolution of 1.0-meter average post spacing LiDAR data. Existing LiDAR data exists for: Porter, Steuben, Noble, De Kalb, Allen, Madison, Delaware, Hendricks, Marion, Hancock, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, Monroe, and portions of Vermillion, Parke, Vigo, Clay, Sullivan, Knox, Gibson, and Posey. These existing LiDAR datasets were seamlessly integrated into this new statewide dataset. From this seamless LiDAR product a statewide 5-foot post spacing hydro-flattened DEM product was created and is also available. See the FGDC Metadata provided for more details.
This statewide project is divided into three geographic areas captured over a 3-year period (2011-2013):

I ordered on 1/12 and, from my last experience, expected delivery to take a couple of weeks. When that passed and nothing had shown up, I emailed and spoke with Stacey who ask me to give it a couple of more weeks and let them know if anything came. I did so and still nothing, so I emailed again. Stacey apologized for the inconvenience and said she would put a full refund back to my card. I believe this was last weekend I received this message from her. Then, this past Thursday, the order finally showed up! The package looked well traveled (ie - I think someone TKO'd it in the third round), but the contents were just fine. I let Stacey know so that she could stop/reverse the refund. I would like to say the customer service I received was excellent, though. All replies were prompt and professional. I wouldn't have hesitated to order from Yours Clothing again, but Stacey just really made it a good experience in the end.
So far I have only worn the new jeggings once and the top and shrug I have only tried on. I find that everything I order from the UK seems to run a little large, so I actually buy my same size UK as I do US (even though the UK size really equates to something like 4 sizes smaller in US) Everything seems to be good quality and I am very happy with my purchase. So here is what I got! (stock photos are via Yours, the not so great photos are mine, lol)
The stock photo on the jeggings was very true to life as far as color and how they look worn. Unlike other skinny jeans and jeggings I have tried on, these really do give the true "painted on" jegging effect (which I like, though it may not be everyone's cup of hot cocoa) This pair is more stretchy and less jeans-like than my last pair, but I do really love them. I wore them out last night to go shopping with my brother.
I don't own many sparkly items and this tube top was on sale, so I figured what the heck. The one thing I didn't take into consideration is I am much bustier than the model in the stock photo, so the ruffled layers are going to take a little more work to get to lay right. All the same, for the price of the top I am not going to act disappointed about something that was my mis-judging anyway.
Since this shrug is no longer available (another sale/close out item), I couldn't get the stock photo that shows the back of it. As you can see from my picture, though, it has a neat lace back (and I do love me some lace, even if I do constantly ruin everything putting my fingernails through it) I did try on the shrug today and it fits well. I was looking for something different than the bajillion cardigans I have. Sometimes you just don't want buttons, you know?
And that's it! I didn't think about it when I bought them, but all these things together would actually make a pretty good outfit. See? This is my bad attempt at showing them all together, lol.
My final thoughts are: The arrival of my items took longer than I thought, but I blame the Postal Service for that obviously (and after a few incidents, the Postal Service and I aren't friends any more anyway). Yours Clothing has some neat options and great customer service. They are definitely someone I will shop with in the future.

The Backyard Brawl: Dead Or Alive?
October 29, 2011 6:22 PM
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) — Tim Hyland, college football writer for About.com, joined 93-7 The Fan's John Phillips Saturday morning to discuss West Virginia's acceptance into the Big 12, and what it might mean for the future of the Backyard Brawl.
Although the history of college football is filled with examples of sustained inter-conference rivalries, with the Mountaineers moving and Pitt preparing to join the ACC, there is a distinct possibility one of the most rancorous rivalries in college football may come to an end.
In addition, Tim and John discuss whether Joe Paterno's days are numbered, and who would make the best successor…

Persons Unknown Season 2 DVD Box Set
Cast and Crew
Creator: her McQuarrie
Leading Role: Joe Tucker, Janet Cooper, Sergeant Graham McNair, Moira Doherty, Tori Fairchild, Erika Taylor, Bill Blackham, Charlie Morse
Summary of Persons Unknown Season 2 DVD Box Set
Persons Unknown is an American mystery drama television mini-series that revolves around strangers who are imprisoned inside a small ghost town. The thirteen-episode summer series premiered on June 7, 2010 at 10:00 p.m. on NBC. On June 30, NBC moved the show to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday from its Monday time slot. It completed its run on August 28, 2010.
Diverse strangers find themselves stranded in a deserted town with no idea of how they got there. Security cameras are watching their every move, defeating their attempts to leave. Faced with physical, emotional and psychological challenges, the hostages must rely on each other to survive as their abductors sow mistrust and pit them against each other. Meanwhile, an investigative reporter begins to look into the disappearances of the missing people despite intimidation by those who apparently know their every move.
Ex ecutive producer Remi Aubuchon promised that the show would "provide all the answers to the questions that we set up". The series finale was criticized for not following through on this statement.
Seven strangers, Janet Cooper (Daisy Betts), Joe Tucker (Jason Wiles), Moira Doherty (Tina Holmes), Sergeant Graham McNair (Chadwick Boseman), Tori Fairchild (Kate Lang Johnson), Bill Blackham (Sean O'Bryan), and Charlie Morse (Alan Ruck) awaken in a hotel, with little to no knowledge of how they got there or where they are. The hotel and small 1950's-era town nearby are completely filled with cameras and microphones. Over the course of the following weeks, they are subjected to significant psychological and physical stress. Joe is eventually revealed to be a member of "The Program." Who or what the program is, what their motives, resources, or support are, is unclear. The only indication is that the Program is manipulating them, attempting to influence their behavior, thought patterns, and beliefs.
At the end of the show, despite staging a mass breakout by faking the deaths of everyone in the town except for Joe, all the participants are recaptured, and awaken in an identical hotel, built into the hull of a tanker ship, where the original night manager welcomes them to "Level 2." Joe and Mark Renbe are seen waking in a second hotel, in which Tori Fairchild serves as the hotel manager. Kat Damatto and Ambassador Fairchild are last seen in cages at an undisclosed location.

Although I dress confidently, I am a sucker for how-to's, lists, do-overs, et al. I'll read any fashion article that starts with "Five Ways To . . ." I swear I found one on a lesser website (not a blog!) that was titled "How To Dress More Elegantly" and started with "Buy more elegant clothing".
This little article from Real Simple has some gold in it: Define Your Signature Style. It's real simple (heh), can be applied to any wardrobe, and appeals to my sense of orderliness without being oppressive.
Step 1: Identify What's Working
You probably have a handful of go-to pieces you instinctively reach for when you want to look put-together. Now imagine having a rack full of them. The first step toward achieving that goal is figuring out what makes those favorites so, well, favored, says Amy E. Goodman, the author of Wear This, Toss That ($27, amazon.com). "Pull out the five things you would wear every day if no one was keeping track," she says. (Emphasis mine). Choose something in each clothing category: tops, pants, dresses, and skirts. Then ask yourself a few questions about each piece. Jot down your answers so you can use them as a shopping guide later.
How would you describe the item? Crisp and tailored? Soft and ruffly?
What image does it project? Smart and professional? Edgy and fashionable?
What color is it? Does the shade brighten your complexion?
What fabric is it made of?
What is the silhouette like? Nipped at the waist? Flowing and hip-grazing?
What parts of your body does it accentuate?
What parts of your body does it de-emphasize? Is it comfortable?
Your answers reveal: Your style barometer. Use your notes to help pinpoint what you like. "Be careful of buying replicates," says Goodman. You may learn you prefer darks and flared shapes, but you need only one good pair of black bootcuts. "Think of it as nailing down a signature look, not getting into a rut," she says.
- Dark wash straight leg jeans
- Black long sleeve tee, slim cut but not tight
- Striped long sleeve tee, slim cut but not tight
- Black pencil or full skirt
- Knee length black knit dress, sleeveless for layering
I'm not entirely sure about the image this projects, except it feels like "me", "she likes black", "move to NYC", or "boring!". Not ruffly nor edgy. Everything is soft, easy to wear, neutral and fairly casual. I like body-skimming clothing that shows off my slim form. I like a waistline and I emphasize my upper body. I avoid bright colors/prints.
