Leading manufacturing dairy and dairy products, Dodla Dairy, managed its business with the help of in-house developed ERP solution. However, with time, the limitations of standalone application posed a major threat to the growth and risked compliances. The company hence decided to integrate its operations on a common platform. Dodla Dairy partnered with Affordable Business Solutions (ABS) to implement Microsoft Dynamics™ AX 4.0, later upgraded to Dynamics 2009. The solution improved the internal controls of the company by automating business and functional processes. Integrated operations, real time collection-distribution information from multiple sites, and improved communication assist in sales planning. It directly increases sales and hence revenues. Most importantly, Dodla witnesses financial transparency and operates in accordance to compliances. All these factors put together greatly improve the overall efficiency and growth plans.
Established in 1995 in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, Dodla Dairy is an exporter and wholesaler of milk and dairy products. It procures, processes and sells milk and milk products across India. Headquartered in Hyderabad, Dodla has operations in 60 locations across South India and employs over 700 people. It is an ISO 22000 certified company. The annual revenues approximate U.S.$ 99.75 million (INR 500 crore) in 2010-11.
It owns multiple state-of-art technology processing plants, chilling and collection centers, and sales and marketing branches across India. With a network of more than 3,000 dealers, its products are available at more than 4,000 outlets across South India.
Dodla Dairy was using an in-house developed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, D-Soft. This was developed a decade ago when the communication network in remote areas was erratic and undependable. Due to lack of connectivity, D-Soft was designed as a standalone application.
It was deployed manually at each location. Periodically, data was put on CDs and taken to the head office. Here it was consolidated manually. "Existing transport vehicles were leveraged to collect data from every site on a weekly basis initially, with improvement in communication it was then reduced to 1 day. Data was consolidated at the head office," recalls D. Sunil Reddy, Managing Director, Dodla Dairy. Therefore, it was not conducive to a centralized organizational structure.
While the application had modules for all the aspects of supply chain, from procuring milk to inventory, quality, financials and supply of co-products such as butter and ghee (Clarified butter). But, it didn't have a production module. Therefore, all production processes were manual.
To complicate the matter, the government regulates milk pricing based on fat and solid-non-fat (SNF) variables. "We are expected to immediately deploy the new government policies in tax specific compliances. However, it was time-intensive process to design, develop and integrate new requirements in D-Soft. Also, it had to be manually deployed at each location. This resulted in time lag and compliance delays," continues Sunil.
With multi-fold growth during the past decade, Dodla identified the limitations in the existing system. The solution could not scale and handle the exponential growth in its plans. "To create a competitive advantage over the other market players, we not only need to deliver the highest quality products but also upgrade our IT systems to latest technology," says Sunil.
Dodla Dairy settled on Microsoft Dynamics AX after evaluating several ERP solutions available in the market. "We considered SAP but we found it to be very expensive as the margins in the dairy business are small. Whereas, Microsoft Dynamics AX was the best fit to address the long-term business and IT needs. It was also the most cost effective solution," says D. Sunil Reddy, Managing Director, Dodla Dairy. "At the same time, it is user-friendly and easy to learn and use."
Dodla Dairy hired Microsoft Business Solution Partner, Affordable Business Solutions (ABS) to deploy the same. ABS leveraged its technical and domain expertise to map a best-fit solution based on the dairy industry. It deployed Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 in April 2010, which was later upgraded to Dynamics AX 2009 in April 2011. The solution is presently deployed for 76 concurrent users in a single phase at its head office in Hyderabad. About 50 sites were connected via internet.
Modules deployed included General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Milk Procurement, Inventory, Production (Process), Fixed Assets, Milk Distribution, Product Distribution and Production and transfer.
ABS customized Dynamics AX to include the processes specific to Dodla Dairy. For example, Milk Procurement module is designed to include offline integration with an electronic weighing bowl. This module records milk procured from different vendors at the collection centers. Milk analyzers check quality to capture fat content (FAT) and solid-non-fat (SNF) of each vendor. This ensures that payments are based on the quality of milk, paid on the rates set by the market.
Asset and fund transfers between sites are posted to finance. A specific customization enables site wise balance sheet.
Dynamics manages all aspects of the business such as transportation and procurement costs, incentives, additions or deductions based on advance payments or partial payments. Employees create Goods Received Notes (GRNs). Based on these, purchase orders are raised.
Agents at point-of-sales use handheld devices to capture the day's collection and demands (indents) for next day. This information is uploaded directly from the handheld device to the application. Production planning is based on real time information and synchronizes supply with demand. Integration with handheld devices hence controls production, avoids spoilage and hence saves cost.
Sunil explains, "Our agents know what to deliver and what to pick up from our sites. We pass order information to them and in return, they feed back information on collection and delivery using handheld devices. The confirmation from the agents allows us to manage stock and improve invoice accuracy."
The new Production and Transfer module tracks the output of multiple co-products such as ghee and butter. With automated processes, transportation cost from chilling centers to packing units is tracked. Dodla dairy thus manages to produce high volumes of dairy products, with relatively low margins.
Integration with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services allows quick data analysis via crucial reports based on Cubes. Data from Dynamics AX is synchronized to allow analysis of financial data by product, time-period, location, type of revenue and cost; and by comparing actual data against a budget. "The solution motivates the team to utilize its latent capacity for reporting enabling more efficient production, inventory and distribution and move towards deploying Business Intelligence tools," states Sunil.
Likewise, just-in-time inventory management is initiated by collecting information from all milk collection centers, processing plants, distribution centers, depots, warehouse, retail and delivery vehicles.
"Though, these two workflows are still under testing but are clearly our best value and return on investment (ROI)," he adds.
Integration with programmable logic controls (PLC) for better process control, scalability of decision support system (DSS) for decision making activities are some of the functionalities that will become available soon. In addition, the solution will integrate its retail business and will integrate a module on livestock. The livestock module will track purchase and sale of livestock, breeding information, medication and all other aspects of managing livestock.
"Microsoft Dynamics AX gives macro level benefits by addressing micro level problems," says R. Ramanathan, Advisor, Dodla Dairy. It ensures optimal utilization of human and financial resources to produce high-quality products at a lower cost.
Reduces Cost of Supply Chain
Integrated supply chain at Dodla Dairy now addresses issues of both material flow and information flow. It captures all the complexities of multi-product perishables. "We are very pleased to acknowledge that our supply chain network includes collection, production, quality check, inventory and transportation plans," says D. Sunil Reddy, Managing Director, Dodla Dairy. "Automated processes have minimized costs associated with collection, production and distribution."
Improves Operational Efficiency
The ubiquitous information flow has also improved data integrity and significantly reduced duplication and effort. It has cut down the information processing time for quality check and distribution.
Fair Payment Ensures Vendor Loyalty
Streamlined processes enable faster and more accurate payments to vendors. The solution brings transparency, which minimizes manual involvement, reducing the likelihood of mistakes or fraud. The vendors are thus confident about receiving fair and transparent compensation for their product. Immediate, system-generated payments, are very popular with the vendors; and have earned their loyalty.
Better Planning and Control
The integrated system improves internal business processes, collection procedures and sales planning as well as management reporting. "We see our collections, orders, demands and inventory. Based on this information, we plan for next day in collaboration with sales, procurement and distribution teams," says Sunil. "By providing accurate, comprehensive and on time information, we have improved our decision-making abilities significantly. We respond quickly to changing market conditions." At the same time, management is assured of greater transparency and better governance and compliances.
Return over Investment within 2-3 Years
With improved budgeting and costing, Dodla Dairy expects better returns and higher profits. After deploying Dynamics AX, the company expects 5 to 7 percent profit after tax (PAT) and hopes to recover cost within next 2-3 years.
Enhances Financial Visibility
The new ERP solution has deployed fully integrated enterprise-wide financial controls. Efficient tracking of day-to-day billing (invoices), receivables, and sales allow complete financial visibility required for business decision. For instance, financial entries at the point of shifting material, capturing funds transfer from one location to other, balance sheets at each site ensure transparency and eliminate the chances of errors or thefts or pilferages. "The overall transparency coupled with visibility of accounts allows control over the margins on products, which enables us to maintain our profitability," explains Sunil.
"We deal with 8,000 villagers and 3,000 retailers every morning and evening. With such complexity, Microsoft Dynamics AX makes the processes simpler. More importantly, it moves us from fragmented, silos to a cohesive, unified organization," sums up D. Sunil Reddy, Managing Director, Dodla Dairy.

Air Force football coach Troy Calhoun is deflecting any talk of him emerging as a candidate for another head coaching job saying simply, "I'm not discussing it."
But Calhoun is quickly becoming a candidate for the head coaching job at Clemson University. According to Tiger Illustrated.com, Calhoun is likely to be interviewed for the job.
Andrew Miller at the Charleston Post and Courier is reporting that according to a source close to the Clemson Athletic Department, Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips was in Fort Worth, TX watching Air Force play TCU on Saturday. The report goes on to say It is not clear if Phillips interviewed Calhoun in Fort Worth or if they even talked.
Calhoun's name has also been linked to the job opening at the University of Washington.

A number of construction and disaster-response firms have hired Washington lobbyists to help navigate the contracting process for rebuilding Haiti.The article reports on the companies' eagerness for U.S. reconstruction funds to be disbursed, not, apparently, out of any humanitarian concern (as no such sentiments are voiced in the article), but because the contractors are eager to make a profit.
Robert Naiman writes today at Huffington Post:
There are many legitimate criticisms to be made of the electoral system in the United States as we know it. But it could be much worse. We could be confronted with the electoral system that Haitians are currently facing in elections scheduled for November 28.Naiman then goes on to point out that part of the U.S. influence comes from the U.S. funding for the elections, already underway, despite these political party exclusions.
In Haiti, as things are currently run, political parties are completely excluded from participation if the people currently in power don't like them, including Haiti's largest political party, the Fanmi Lavalas party of deposed and exiled former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
It is a telling fact of our political-media culture that while American newspapers regularly carry articles, op-eds and editorials raising the alarm about democracy and human rights in countries where the U.S. has little influence, the major U.S. media are virtually silent about extreme violations of democratic rights in Haiti, a country where the U.S. has tremendous influence. (Two rare, praiseworthy exceptions have been the Miami Herald, which last month published this op-ed by Ira Kurzban, and the reporting of the AP's Jonathan Katz.)
Residents of a number of camps recently told IPS they are neither ready nor willing to participate in the Nov. 28 elections, for which the international community is paying two-thirds of the $29 million cost.and that
Only the more middle-class people interviewed said they planned to go to the polls.Scherr describes some IDP's sentiments, exemplified by a recent demonstration slogan "We are not going to the election in tents. We want housing before elections", and noting that
In Camp Noailles, just outside Port-au-Prince, no one IPS spoke with planned to vote. A new president should come with plans to bring schools and jobs, "but most people come with a plan that doesn't work," one resident said.
In camp Automeca the situation is very dramatic. The people who were not evicted from the camp and forced to relocate two months ago are now living on a very fragile piece of land, on the downhill slope where the latrines were previously located. The camp has become a sea of mud and the air is dominated by a staggering odor left behind by human waste. We found the residents practically nude, scrambling to clean belongings and cut the branches and trunks of fallen trees. The rains and winds had tattered some of the tens and destroyed others. We don't yet have a firm number on how many were destroyed, but it is much the same as in the rest of the camps – many will not sleep tonight and they have nowhere to go.The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported yesterday that even after some emergency shelter materials (tents and tarps) were delivered, there are still at least 14,000 families who are without even what meager shelter they had before the storm.
Details of an Aug. 16 meeting between Mr. Préval and members of Haiti's election commission (CEP) has observers questioning whether the CEP rejected candidates based on politics instead of the Constitution.The Monitor continues, noting that some allege President Préval personally removed some candidates from the final list, including former U.S. ambassador and Jean's uncle, Raymond Joseph.
On Monday September 13th at 11am EST (10am in Haiti) residents of more than a dozen camps for internally displaced people will demonstrate in front of the National Palace to demand the right to education. They are also calling for decent housing because they are living in fear during this hurricane season.
Haiti has had two elected presidents since the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in 1986: Preval and the now-exiled Jean- Bertrand Aristide. Their Unity and Lavalas parties are divided, which means that for the first time there is no clear front-runner. Jean could play a constructive role in the wide-open race, either by endorsing another candidate, which would catapult that person into the lead, or by simply advocating for political participation. Either way, he would continue to build sorely needed legitimacy for the electoral system.These statements would suggest that Fanmi Lavalas is running a presidential candidate. But Fanmi Lavalas is doing no such thing - apparently in reaction to past Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) rulings that arbitrarily disbar the party's participation based on technical criteria. As has been reported in various newspapers, and criticized by numerous U.S. observers, including Senator Richard Lugar [PDF], the most influential Republican in Congress on foreign affairs – to say nothing of the numerous Haitian protesters and people interviewed by international media -- the CEP is also continuing to bar Fanmi Lavalas, along with 14 other political parties, from participating in the parliamentary elections.
Food distributions have come to a halt and many aid agencies are intentionally withholding necessary and fundamental services such as latrines, water, food and medical aid, in order to force earthquake victims to abandon the camps that currently exist in former parks, school grounds and churchyards. However, no feasible plans exist to relocate these families.
"Haitians who lost loved ones, homes and all their belongings are now out in the merciless summer sun all day, then soaked to the bone by rains each night," explains Melinda Miles, director of Let Haiti Live and Coordinator of the Haiti Response Coalition. "They are deprived of fundamental human rights – access to food, water, shelter – and have no other place to go."
A new column by CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot was published in the Sacramento Bee and several other newspapers today. It examines Washington's silence on the CEP's exclusion of Fanmi Lavalas from the upcoming elections, and also notes that
six months after the catastrophe, less than 2 percent of the 1.6 million homeless have homes. Hundreds of thousands have nothing at all; and 80 percent of the homeless that do have shelter are living under tarps where the ground under them turns to mud when it rains. And less than 2.9 percent of all aid money has gone to the Haitian government, which makes reconstruction nearly impossible. With a hundred thousand children wounded from the earthquake, public hospitals are closing.
Read the entire column here.
While most of the media – from news wires, papers, and TV and radio broadcasts, to entertainment and gossip programs and blogs – focused on musician Wyclef Jean's announcement that he would run for president of Haiti, numerous other, less well-known (outside of Haiti, anyway) candidates entered the presidential race, little noticed by the press.
A Miami Herald article over the weekend described the entry of 34 candidates, who include Jacques Edouard Alexis, the Prime Minister who was ousted in 2008 during the food price spike; Jude Celestin, "founder and executive director of the government's road-building outfit, the National Center of Equipment" on the INITE ticket; former first-lady Mirlande Manigat, (the wife of former puppet president and anti-Aristide activist Leslie Manigat); and Yvon Neptune, former prime minister who was ousted from his office in the 2004 coup d'etat against President Aristide, and later imprisoned on bogus charges relating to a "massacre" (supposedly state-sanctioned) that never took place. Perhaps because the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) is continuing to arbitrarily keep Aristide's party, Fanmi Lavalas (FL), and 14 other parties off the ballot as the November elections draw near, Neptune has announced he will run as the candidate for the Haitians for Haiti Party.
"The ambassador here is the representative of the U.S. government in Haiti," said Lionel Etienne, a former Fanmi Lavalas congressman. "We come here today to question the behaviour of the U.S. government. We're asking if they will continue to finance the exclusion of Lavalas by the CEP with Préval."Yesterday, however, the OAS announced they will be sending an Electoral Observation Mission to Haiti, and that:
The United States and Spain made specific offers of financial assistance while other Member States and Permanent Observers pledged to support the effort through contributions in kind or financial resources towards covering its costs, which are an estimated $5.3 million.
Too often, Farmer argued, proliferating aid agencies and foreign nations have failed to establish enduring partnerships with Haiti's government.
"Our historical failure to do so is one of the primary reasons that trying to help the public sector now is like trying to transfuse whole blood through a small-gauge needle or, in popular parlance, to drink from a fire hose,'' Farmer, a UN deputy special envoy for Haiti, said on Capitol Hill.
"How can there be public health and public education without a stronger government at the national and local levels?'' Farmer said in prepared remarks.

Vicente del Bosque's men continue to lead the way in the world football leaderboard, ahead of Germany and Argentina, as the top 10 remained unchanged in the final update of 2013World and European champions Spain top the final Fifa ranking of the year as they finish 2013 ahead of second-placed Germany and third-placed Argentina.
Vicente del Bosque's men have now headed the rankings at the end of each of the last six calendar years following an unbeaten World Cup 2014 qualifying campaign that saw La Roja collect 20 points from a possible 24.
Colombia and Portugal complete the top five, followed by Uruguay, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands and Brazil.
Bosnia-Herzegovina are the only team on the up inside the top 30. Fresh from reaching a first World Cup finals, the Dragons are now 19th, up two places, meaning that France and Mexico drop one place each to 20th and 21st, respectively.
Ukraine hold the distinction of being the highest climbers this year after surging 29 places to 18th, although that is unlikely to temper the frustration at missing out on a World Cup place following play-off heartache at the hands of France in November.

* ''"I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!"''- used in an advert for Life Alert, a medical alarm company. It actually began with a similar product named [=LifeCall=], and Life Alert started using that phrase after [=LifeCall=] went under.
* "Boom De Ya Da": The Discovery Channel commercials with stars of the channel's various shows musing how they love various features of the world. Borderline, as it hasn't yet stood the test of time, but it seems quite popular to make parodies (such as on Website/YouTube - partly fueled by an official Discovery Channel contest). While it's clearly an ad, it also seems made more to invoke a sense of general wonder as anything.
** Note that the ''music'' wasn't created for the commercial (the tune and the "Boom De Ya Da" chorus are from a popular campfire song), just the lyrics to the verses; the song ''has'' [[OlderThanTheyThink "stood the test of time."]]
* "I'm not a doctor, {{but I play one on TV}}." Many people remember the line. They may even vaguely remember it was for some sort of medicine. Almost no one remembers which medicine (Vicks Cough Syrup).
* "Crispy Critters" has become a part of the (American) English vernacular, meaning something (or someone) that's been burned to a crisp. You could bomb a football stadium and not hit twenty people who remember Crispy Critters cereal (a short-lived animal cracker-like concotion).
** But those twenty people who DO remember it [[EarWorm could not get the jingle out of their head with a shotgun.]]
* "Where's the beef?" Such a simple ad would never fly at the [[SuperBowlSpecial Super Bowl nowadays]], but back when the "Fluffy Bun" ad aired, it was a breakaway success, the little old lady who delivered the line became a minor celebrity, and the line became symbolic of something that had no "meat" to it, whether figuratively or literally; it even got mentioned in the 1984 US Presidential campaign. Now, which restaurant chain was it an ad for? (Wendy's.)
** The fact that the slogan got so broken away from the company is a major reason why Wendy's decided to bring it back in new ads for 2011.
* The line "So round! So firm! So fully packed!" was a slogan from radio ads for Lucky Strike cigarettes back in the '40's, but it then got picked up by radio personalities and WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes characters like Pepé Le Pew for describing members of the fairer sex. Most Looney Tunes fans today can tell it's a '40's cultural reference, but few would know what it's from.
* Coca-Cola's "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing," which was for four weeks in 1971 ''the #1 single in the U.K.''.
** Although this one is arguably a bit easier to identify for anyone who remembers anything beyond the first line of lyrics, since the second line is "I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company."
*** The line (which is the ''fourth'' line) is changed to "I'd like to hold it in my arms"
*** The song has probably been redeemed with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXHEBvhU8Y this]] recent commercial that airs during NASCAR events.
* The "Da Da Da" song by Trio may not have originated in a 1990's Volkswagen ad, but that's certainly what popularized it in the U.S.
* The ad campaign / With these short poems / Was used at first / For shaving fo-am / [[Advertising/BurmaShave Burma-Shave]].
* "You got your X in my Y!" "You got your Y in my X!" for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (originally, it was chocolate and peanut butter).
* "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" (cue thunderstorm): The slogan has outlasted the product it was for (a butter substitute called Chiffon).
* "We've Only Just Begun" came from a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97X9huy7pHQ bank commercial]].
* A hushed delivery of "We've secretly replaced their X with Y. Lets' see if they can tell the difference." Originally for Folger's Coffee Crystals, it's become the go-to line whenever a BaitAndSwitch is pulled on somebody.
* "It's X o'clock, do you know where your children are?" was originally a PSA played on late night TV to warn parents of the dangers of teenage drinking. Now it's more likely to be a joke said in the middle of the day.
* Pets.com: Their hand puppet's appeal infamously outlasted the lifespan of their company (which admittedly wasn't that long to begin with) and now shills for cheap car loans.
* The ITV Digital Monkey has also outlived its original creators' short life, and now advertises PG Tips tea. It was said (possibly not seriously) that when ITV Digital shut down, Monkey was one of the most valuable of their few remaining assets.
* ''Series/{{Cavemen}}'', the Creator/{{ABC}} TV Series, derived from the Advertising/{{GEICO}} Cavemen advertisements. Needless to say, it didn't translate well to the sitcom format and not only failed critically, but was marred by the 2007 writers' strike and failed to last a full season.
* Five years before ''Cavemen'', ''Baby Bob'' was a sitcom based on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Baby Bob]], a baby who talked like a 40 year old in ads for freeinternet.com (now defunct) and later Quiznos.
* ''Yo! Noid'', ''Cool Spot'', ''M.C. Kids'', and a host of other video games made from mascots. [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames Surprisingly, some of them are actually pretty good.]]
** ''Yo! Noid'', interestingly enough, is only a halfway example - it was a [[DolledUpInstallment heavily localized version]] of a Japanese game, ''Masked Ninja Hanamaru'', which had absolutely nothing to do with Domino's Pizza (or pizza in general, for that matter).
* The noted Jim Varney character ErnestPWorrell was originally created as an all-purpose advertising mascot in Nashville. Then he [[Film/ErnestGoesToCamp went to camp]] and [[Film/ErnestSavesChristmas saved Christmas]], and people took notice.
* ''Advertising/CompareTheMeerkat'' - an advert for an insurance price comparison website (Compare The Market) in which a meerkat tycoon, Aleksandr Orlov, reminds viewers not to confuse it with ''his'' website. Aleksandr's "autobiography" was a bestseller.
* WesternAnimation/BettyBoop started out as a series of cartoon shorts in the 30's and 40's, and now exists only on merchandise such as girls' t-shirts. That's not mentioning slogans such as "Girl Power!" that have nothing to do with the original cartoon.
** This could also be said for WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker, who lives on as the mascot for Ride/UniversalStudios.
* ''Sopwith'': Created to demonstrate "Imagenet", a proprietary networking system by BMB Compuscience. Became a commercially successful product in its own right; Imagenet itself, not so much.
* {{Pixar}}, after spinning off from {{Lucasfilm}}, spent time as a hardware company selling the "Pixar Image Computer." Their first shorts were just demos, but they far outshone anything else done with computers at the time. When the computer didn't sell well, they became Pixar Animation Studios, and the rest is history.
* The UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 game ''FantaVision'' was originally developed as a tech demo to showcase the capabilities of the new hardware, but proved to be popular enough that a consumer version was released as a reasonably successful launch title for the system.
* Colonel Harlan Sanders originally fried chicken to help sell pressure cookers, as a way of showing what they're capable of. He couldn't sell those pressure cookers, but the guests would pay to have his chicken. And thus, UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken was born.
** Specifically, he had invented the pressure fryer, which allowed chicken to be fried far faster than pan frying. He used it at his own restaurant, but when he tried to sell it, people weren't sure what to do with it. He ended up adding his own cooking methods to the package, creating a franchise system.
** Sanders actually started by buying a gas station and trying to sell gas. After one of his customers smelled his wife's cooking coming from the back he turned the unsuccessful gas station into a restaurant. Though the restaurant ultimately failed after some years it's what got Sanders started in cooking.
* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' was originally just a tech demo for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube GameCube]], but was eventually made into a game.
* Knott's Berry Farm was originally a berry stand beside a family farm. After the berry stand grew into a popular restaurant, the owners began building a "ghost town" and other attractions to amuse customers while they waited for a table. As the attractions blossomed into an amusement park, the family began charging admission. The park now rivals nearby Disneyland and has completely overwhelmed the original restaurant. (The restaurant is, however, still there right outside the front gate.)
* Similarly, Kennywood Amusement Park in UsefulNotes/{{Pittsburgh}} began as a picnic area, where eventually a trolley rail route was laid out nearby. A small park was built next to the trolley station to entertain kids until the trolley arrived. As the park got bigger and bigger and more popular, and the trolley station was dismantled, the amusement park became one of the most renowned parks in Mideastern America.
* Chessington World of Adventures in London was originally a small side-attraction to Chessington Zoo. The zoo is still there, but now it's a side-attraction to the theme park.
'''Promotional Products'''
* The bizarre [[NewspaperComics comic strip]] ''ComicStrip/RobotmanAndMonty'' started out as ''Robotman'' and was made to promote a children's doll.
* Creator/MarvelComics's ''ComicBook/RomSpaceknight'' by Creator/BillMantlo was a licensed comic based on a toy. The toy was a commercial failure, but the comic was successful and lasted for years. Unfortunately, ROM himself and all the other elements which came directly from the toyline are now in licensing limbo. The supporting details and setting that Marvel created themselves for his series, however, still appear in other Marvel works.
* The ''Franchise/{{Micronauts}}'' comic (also by Mantlo) also outlasted the toy line that inspired it by several years. The character Bug, very loosely based on the Galactic Warrior action figure, is still around in Marvel's ''GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' title, since he's different enough from the toy that inspired him that Marvel can claim to own him outright.
* In 1991, there was a dancing doll called My Pretty Ballerina. The doll was only around for a year or so and then discontinued. However, a children's picture book, ''Saturday Is Ballet Day,'' about a pair of friends [[SaltAndPepper (a black girl and a white girl)]] learning to ballet dance, was published to merchandise it. The book is charming, and has been continuously in print for almost twenty years, complete with the doll's logo on the cover.
* Hi-C's "Ecto-Cooler" flavor was produced to promote the TV series ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters''. The stuff tasted good, and Hi-C kept producing it for years after the show ended, complete with Slimer on the label. They eventually removed him and changed the name to Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen, then Crazy Citrus Cooler, before discontinuing the flavor completely in 2007.

A November ballot measure will give voters the chance to suspend California's harmful global warming regulations, perhaps saving 1 million jobs and avoiding billions of dollars in economic damage.
The California Jobs Initiative would suspend mandated restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions set to begin next year. The law would remain suspended until unemployment in California drops to 5.5 percent. It is now 12.4 percent. At best, California's global warming law, Assembly Bill 32, would have negligible effect on global temperatures. But studies show it will result over time in massive job losses and economic harm, driving more businesses out of state.
AB32 seeks to roll back emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. It was Gov. Arnold's Schwarzenegger's crowning achievement, if an environmentally ineffectual and economically devastating law can be an achievement. Some companies that would profit from the law claim AB32 will boost a growing, but miniscule, clean-energy sector, creating 10,000 jobs. But opponents cite studies showing more than 1 million jobs will be lost under AB32's regulatory intrusions and costly fees and taxes.
The California Air Resources Board would gain vast control over the state's economy. Some clean-energy companies' products currently are too expensive compared with conventional products, but AB32 would tip the scales by making conventional energy more expensive and further subsidizing so-called clean, alternate energy providers.
One of the arguments already being made against the initiative is that it will "reverse" the state's environmental policy. But AB32's regulations have yet to be finalized by state bureaucrats and would phase in over several years. Virtually no policies currently in effect would be "reversed." What will be avoided – at least until unemployment reaches less-dramatic levels – would be the planned implementation of onerous regulations unlike any the state ever has experienced. Already, many in the business community claim the mere threat of those regulations going into effect has discouraged investments and spurred companies to leave California.
The campaign will be high-spending, perhaps totaling $100 million combined. Unsurprisingly, two Texas oil companies funded the initiative's signature gathering. So-called clean-energy companies, large environmental groups and liberal political allies are lined up to finance the opposition.
We urge voters to see through the demonizing of oil companies that's certain to come and, instead, to weigh facts. Even if manmade global warming is occurring, it's highly doubtful it's a threat. And even if AB32's regulations, taxes and fees were imposed, their effect on climate would be unnoticeable. Indeed, backers of the Kyoto Protocol, which sought similar regulations worldwide more than a decade ago, conceded it essentially wouldn't have changed temperatures even 1 degree over a century.
If over-reaching government and ineffective climate tinkering aren't reasons enough, voters should consider that whatever few tax-subsidized jobs may be created, they pale compared with existing jobs lost from AB32's damaging regulations.

Communications minister Ed Vaizey is seeking advice from Talk Talk chief executive Dido Harding about cleaning up the marketing of broadband packages.
In a meeting in October, Harding explained separate line rental prices were "purely marketing" and a broadband package "costing £2 plus £10 line rental could just as easily be billed [as] £12 broadband".
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is researching consumer understanding around bundled pricing later in the year, but no final decision has yet been made on whether to proceed with the research.
In addition, the only role Harding could envisage for Ofcom in pushing industry towards single bundle products would be in "championing clarity".
There is clearly a demand for single bundle broadband products because the most searched term on the Talk Talk website is "broadband only".
Currently, the ASA requests advertisers ensure line rental costs are presented clearly alongside the most prominently stated bundle prices.
The requirement comes after a landmark ruling in 2012 saw it grant a three month grace period for the sector to bring marketing communications into line after a number of Virgin Media ads were banned.
Virgin Media ran a press ad, circular and TV ad that did not give due prominent to the fact there would be a £13.90 a month line rental charge in addition to the prices it was quoting for its broadband packages.

I'm pregnant with my first (due september 1st) . Before I got pregnant I was leaving in Frisco and had an OB/Gyn there, whom I loved. She retired and I moved to Irving. I research doctors and hospitals and decided on Presby Dallas (don't remember why). I had my annual exam with dr. Angel at Women health Specialist in Presby and its was ok. I waited a long time before I saw her, but I didn't mind it then. When I got pregnant, my husband and I went to see her; after waiting about 45 minutes in the room for her, she seemed in a hurry, and did not pay any atention to my husband (did not even introduce herself to him). Luckely, I got a virus infection a week after and was seen by another doctor at her practice; Dr. Remedios. We liked her a lot better right away so I made her my primary doctor. Anyway, I have seen her again, and was very happy with her care. Now, I have been reading about Baylor, and how they seemto be more open to a more natural (as much as a hospital allows) birth experience, more relaxed and mother centered, i guess. Do any of you have any experience with my doctor, or presby dallas, did you like it? What was the best? worst? I don't want to change doctors but i really want to have the best experience possible. I guess we all do. =)
Presby Dallas...What do you think...kind of long...sorry
Comments (10)
I can't say that I have experience with your doctor, but what I was thinking was that as much as they favor a "more natural birth experience" is just as much as they need to take your wishes into account. I mean, it's your baby, your birthing experience... and most of all, you're paying for it.
With that said, talk to your doctor and let her know what you want. Have a birth plan written and show it to her, so they'll have it when you go have your baby.
Best wishes!
I haven't had a baby there...yet. I'm due in July and my OBGYN when I wasn't pregnant was Dr. Roe, and I chose to stick w/ her through the pregnancy. So, I will be watching this post to see what people say....

"When you're going through Hell, keep going!" - Winston Churchill
If you want any hint of a natural birth experience, I would run away from Presby Dallas as fast as you can.
I'll try to make this short. We'll see
I went to a obgyn at Dallas Presby for the first 36 weeks of my first pregnancy. I had been going there for my general girly exams (he delivered my DH and all 4 of his sibs). Then, after not seeing my doctor for two months (so that I could have an appt and meet all 7 docs in the practice who had a better chance of delivering than my actual doc), I saw him and started talking about a birth plan. Basically, he would not give me any kind of a real answer about episiotomies (don't do it!!!) and when I asked about pushing positions, he said "well, that's kind of a Bradley thing"....and did *not* seem open to real, natural childbirth.
In general, I felt like such a number, and on top of that, I asked what the odds are that he would actually deliver the baby, and he then told me that he only delivered on Wednesdays and every 7th weekend (he and partners rotated).
I went home bawling. We had been considering going to a birth center, and that made our decision. We had our ODD at Dallas Birth and Women's Center, just down the street from Baylor, who they work closely with for their transfer needs. Yes, Baylor is much more natural cb friendly. Dr Audrey Graham is there, and is great. I'm sure there are others, too.
I do just want to say that I think there is very good medical care at Presby Dallas, and if you would like a very medical care-type birth, then I think you will love it. In any case, I would encourage everyone to ask a LOT of questions early in the game, and know that it is not too late to switch venues until your'e home with the baby!
Obviously, I feel pretty strongly and had what for me was a pretty negative experience. If you want to ask me anything, please feel free to pman or post it here.
I have had several friends with high risk pregnancies deliver there and had wonderful experiences - I am so glad that they had the excellent medical care they received at DP, but it was definitely not a fit for me.
Lovin' my girls! DH, too :)
My OBGYN when I was pregnant with our dd was Dr. Bertrand and was wonderful (all the doctors in that practice were- though I can't for the life of me remember the name of the practice). The whole practice was associated with Dallas Presby that's why I had our dd there. I have a c-section because she was breeched and the experience was a really positive one. The nurses were wonderful and I had a private room- that was really comfortable.
That said, we're still waiting on our hospital bill from the delivery. I call them each year to update them with any changes and I get the same message every year, that they are still working it out with our insurance. I didn't know something like that would take THAT long to resolve.
All in all, IF we ever decide to have another child, it'll probably be back at Dallas Presby- I don't do natural anything and was very happy that I had to have a c-section! LOL! But my good opinion is just that and doesn't spread across the board.
Best of luck!
ITA with littlechicksmama. If you want a natural birth, or even a birth with something slightly off the beaten path of an intervention filled experience, then Presby Dallas probably isn't the place to go. Hospital wise, Baylor Dallas offers the best attitude towards natural birth, birth plans, and options. They have some really great OBGYN's there that are fully supportive of your wishes. Denton Presby has some, as well. Like PP, I birthed at the Birth and Women's Center down the street from Baylor Dallas. I started out at HEB Harris Methodist, but switched when I was 22 weeks pregnant. When I've served couples as their doula, Baylor Dallas has been wonderful. Presby Dallas has had some issues with allowing doulas to be with a couple, and I think that's a problem - a birth experience should be what the couple wants, and if they want to have continuous labor support, they should be able to do that.
For women who are high risk or want a very medicalized birth and all that comes with it, Presby D is a good place. They have a great medical team that specializes in surgery and pregnancy related problems, and I would definitely consider it if I was high risk.
Baby #3 edd 12/1/12
Thank you so much for all your answers. I think I will discuss it with my doctor some before I make adecision. Hopefully, she will be a bit open. I don;t think i will really go all natural (most probably will ask for an epidural) but will like some flexibility in birthing positions, and moving around I guess. I will let you know what my doctor says.
I am seeing Dr. Chhutani at PP. She is wonderful. However, I have previously had fibroids removed and knew I would have to have a c-section. My coworker had a DD, naturally, at PP last Dec and loved Dr. Chhutani and PP. So far I have had no problems or waits on doctor visits, blood work, or U/S.

Hello! I birthed at Trinity Med Cntr in Carrollton so I can't comment on the hospital. Talking about birthing positions and what-not, just remember that once you get an epidural you must remain lying on your back. I am a big fan (had Epi's w/both my DDs and LOVED it)... If you want to be truly free to move about throughout the ENTIRE L&D you might want to consider IV pain medications. GL!

I haven't given birth at Presby but I will say that my experience at Baylor was amazing. They will follow your wishes. You labor and deliver in your own private room. It was very nice.

I had my little /lauren Mikayla Tuesday night at 11:36pm...long labor...ugh! But happy with successful VBAC!! Waiting on my "real" milk to come in is taking quite a toll. They keep reassuring me that she's getting enough colostrum and that babies can be fussy while waiting on milk to come in, but I keep feeling like I'm not giving her enough. What can I do in the meantime? Very frustrated.
Fussy, breastfed baby
Comments (9)
Nurse, nurse, nurse mama! Your milk will come in, it's only thursday (my milk didn't come in for 4 days), your baby is born to deal with this and needs the colostrum. Her little tummy is only about the size of a small marble right now so no worries that she isn't getting enough. Put her to breast and let her snuggle with mama, thats probably mostly what she wants anyways. You aren't doing anything wrong and your milk will come in, drink lots and lots of water and take a deep breath. Supplementing with formula won't do you much good in the long run either if you are planning on nursing long term, but I'm guessing you already know that. Hang in there (maybe buy a sling or wrap and do some skin to skin time to comfort her as well)!
Oh and CONGRATS on your VBAC! I'm hoping to be next in line for a successful VBAC!
When I was in the hospital one of my nurses told me that 14 drops of colostrum equalled a feeding.
Keep up the good work, don't give up yet!

I had a beer and the next morning I woke up with full engorged breasts! I think it was just what I needed to help me relax and release tension that was holding the milk back!
Make sure you are nursing on one side for as long as you can 20-30 minutes then switch sides.
Mine didn't come in when my doctor thought it should have, so she prescribed Reglan. My milk did very quickly come in after that. Could have been the med, could have been coincidence. Either way it worked. I was still in the hospital at the time though (c-section 4-day stay) so it was nice because I had all the help of the nurses and LC's during that time. Anyway if you're concerned that yours isn't coming in by the time that it should, I would definitely ask your OB what you can do.
Hide your crazy and start acting like a lady.
Raising a kid is part joy and part guerilla warfare. - Ed Asner
I messed up and supplemented with formula while waiting on milk to come in and I have already messed up my supply. It is low, and I feel like I need to keep supplementing, but actually the only way to increase my supply is to stop supplementing and deal with a fussy hungry baby while my body tries to catch up. She may be a bit fussy now, but now is better than later. Just trust that she is getting what she needs and nurse her often. Stay hydrated! When the milk does come in, be prepared, it may hurt for a couple of days but then it gets much better. You're doing great!
My baby was in the NICU for several days after she was born, but was allowed to start breastfeeding her on day 2. She was supplemented with formula until my milk came in - and ultimately until the pediatrician gave me permission to breastfeed exclusively (this took almost 2 weeks for us because of issues with weight). Because I was supplementing, I pumped every 3 hours to help establish and protect my milk supply
From the breastfeeding classes that I have taken, the colostrum is enough for the baby for the first several days, so unless there is some reason that the pediatrician thinks you need to supplement - you should probably breastfeed exclusively.
Good luck!
Just nurse like crazy. DD nursed every hour for the first 2 days and then my milk came in by day 3. It was a pain the first couple days, but I just put her to breast every time she cried and my milk came in faster.

Hiya Folks
I would like an ereader that I can store contact information on in whatever format it takes although I would prefer pdf.
I need an ereader that requires some type of authentication for access. Does such a beastie exist?
I'll expand my requirements a bit. I probably should have done this at the start.
Lightweight. I want to carry this in a backpack while I ride.
Cheaper than an IPad. Because there is every chance that I'll break it tossing the bag around.
I don't require all the IPad functionality and would prefer not to pay for it.
Enough memory on board (not a card for security unless it is encrypted) for about 100 pdf documents at screen resolution.

Personally, I would like to see an X or Y exclusive area, like how they did with Pokémon Black/White with Black City and White Forest.
I would also like to see some towns looking different depending on the version you're playing, like how it was with Opelucid City in Black/White.

Very good tea

Good Tea and nice box
a very unusual tea
Posted by Reviewer2446553 on May 07, 2013
As ancient as this tea is, we had never heard of it. It took some getting used-to, but now we like it and I will order more. It's very pungent and I don't care for the aroma, but the taste is excellent. This is one tea I do not inhale the aroma of while sipping.

Obama presidency gives African Americans hope for 'a more perfect union'
By Vickie Evans-Nash
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Over 800,000 people were in attendance on the National Mall for the 2013 presidential inauguration. Though the crowd may not have equaled the size of the 2009 gathering, this second presidential inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama demonstrated Americans' enthusiasm for his presidency. What was a significant event for many Americans was even more so for those of African descent. "It's good to see an African American in the White House, especially somebody I voted for," said Damola Ogundipe, former Minnesota Gophers football player, while touring the Martin Luther King, Jr. monument in the nation's capital the day before the inauguration. Ogundipe, born in Nigeria and raised in the Twin Cities, moved to Los Angeles just over a year ago after finishing college. Continue Reading →

ScottsMiracle-Gro Names Phil Jones To Lead Independent Retail Channel
MARYSVILLE, Ohio, Oct. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG), the world's leading marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products, today announced Phil Jones, formerly president of its west coast region, will lead its retail channel for independent garden centers and hardware co-op stores as senior vice president of independent channel. "We continue to refine our business model to build key capabilities and improve our competitiveness to meet our long-term goal of driving category growth and enhancing our industry leadership," said Barry Sanders, president and chief operating officer. "While independent garden centers and hardware co-ops were the initial drivers of growth for our business, our performance in this channel has not met expectations in recent years."For us to succeed in today's competitive environment, we must bring innovative ideas and new thinking to the table, which will allow us to build stronger relationships with our retail partners in the independent channel and the consumers who shop in their stores. I am confident that with Phil's seasoned leadership, combined with a renewed focus on the consumer and investments in new in-store marketing strategies, we will succeed in driving a new level of profitable growth for us and our partners." Jones was named regional president in June 2009, responsible for leading the Company's business development, marketing and sales efforts in the western U.S. Jones' focus on independent garden centers and hardware co-op stores resulted in the top sales growth for the region within this channel for the past several years. Prior to this appointment, Jones was vice president of consumer Roundup, a position that brought him to ScottsMiracle-Gro in June 2007 from Monsanto, which owns the Roundup brand. Reporting to Jones will be Stephen Markert, vice president of channel sales, who will oversee independent garden center sales and marketing strategies. Josh Meihls, director of national accounts, completes the team, and will oversee hardware co-op sales and marketing. About ScottsMiracle-Gro With approximately $3 billion in worldwide sales, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Scotts Company LLC, is the world's largest marketer of branded consumer products for lawn and garden care. The Company's brands are the most recognized in the industry.
