Control Engineering Process Control eNewsletter for September 2002
Invensys Production Management expo and conference
This was Invensys Production Management's inaugural expo, conference, and user group meeting with all 11 divisions in full attendance, and it was exceptionally well-done.
With over 2,000 end-users, representatives from 11 Invensys divisions, and participation by another 30 or so third-party vendors, Invensys Showcase was impressive and worth the time.
The take-away message I got from Invensys Showcase was two-fold. First, Invensys wanted to demonstrate and communicate it has its act together and plans to remain a major player in the control and instrumentation industry. Second, the company has embarked on a journey with potential of changing how the control and instrumentation industry delivers products to market.
About a year ago, Invensys began introducing ArchestrA. ArchestrA is a made up word that combines orchestrate and architecture. From the beginning, it was clear: Invensys felt ArchestrA would place the company well ahead of competition in delivering a 'unified automation and instrumentation environment.' I spent a lot of time learning what ArchestrA is, where it fits, and why it matters. If you're interested, the online version of this e-newsletter contains what I learned (or at least what I think I learned) about ArchestrA, along with a bit of my own observations and thoughts and links to related items.
A contradiction popped into my mind while talking to Invensys vp of marketing, Peter Martin.
Andy Chatha's (ARC Advisory Group) keynote address at the Emerson Process user conference emphasized the importance of benchmarking (see above) to achieve operational excellence.
One of Peter's comments was that benchmarking does little if any good because it looks back, sometimes quite far back, and does not examine what's currently happening. Peter believes it's better to apply a good cost accounting system as deep in the production process as possible and use that information to 'feed' dynamic performance measures (DPMs).
I suspect that benchmarking and DPMs each have their place in evaluating business conditions; I'm just not wise enough to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. Perhaps someone could enlighten me?
Peter, and several of his advanced control consultants, sat me down and explained Invensys Production Management's Performance Improvement Process group.
Essentially this is a group of highly talented industry experts that are ready, willing, and able to attack performance improvement opportunities under a risk/reward contract arrangement. They interview senior executives and managers to identify the production business problems that keep executives and managers awake at night. Then they audit the production processes, establish the DPMs, and identify areas, means, and quantified improvements that can help alleviate those identified production business problems. If the customer agrees to pay Invensys $1 for every $2 saved in the first year, the Invensys consultants implement the improvements. The DPMs establish the before and after measurements of success.
What's really interesting is, Peter's people don't care which control system is installed. They are seeking production process improvements. I may be missing something, but this looks to me like a no-brainer win-win that most plants could benefit from.
In related news, Control Engineering Online did recent items on:
Working in conjunction with the 1,500 members of the Process and Power Client Community, Intergraph Process, Power & Offshore (P2C2) is traveling the Canada and the U.S. conducting hands-on workshops for electrical, piping, and process engineers. The hands-on sessions enable participants to learn more about the technical benefits and features of Intergraph SmartPlant Electrical software and the latest enhancements to SmartPlant P&ID 3.0, INtools (Dimensional Data for Piping module), Pelican Forge Pipe Support Modeler, and ALIAS I/Sketch.

Honeywell takes Experion PKS on the road
Chances are you've heard about Honeywell's Experion PKS by now. If you would like to experience Experion PKS, Honeywell recently began an 11 city Experion PKS road show throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The road show offers attendees an opportunity to ask questions of Honeywell product experts and see demonstrations of Experion PKS and its embedded Process Knowledge Solutions, including the new wireless productivity solution, Mobile PKS.
To learn more about the Experion PKS road show, visit www.experionpks.com
And yet more 21 CFR Part 11 white papers
I find it hard to believe 21 CFR Part 11 (electronic records and signatures) has been the law since 1997 and is only now getting so much attention from users and manufacturers. Anyway, I recently learned Schneider Electric folks (Modicon, Square D...) have been working with Stelex to provide product solutions that help end-users meet regulatory requirements related to 21 CFR Part 11.
Visit the Stelex web site at www.stelex.com to download several white papers Stelex has prepared in cooperation with control system manufacturers, including Schneider Electric.

September in Control Engineering
The September issue of Control Engineering should arrive soon. I wrote the cover article, 'One Controller, Many Uses.'
This article examines the emerging trend of applying the same controller platform to do basic process control and/or safety functions. A key point I make in the article is that implementing a common controller platform requires also dealing with the corporate culture and people issues. There is also an exclusive interview I conducted with folks from Dow Chemical (Midland, MI) that helps drive home a key point: technology implementations are only successful when people are all singing the same song and same lyrics at the same time. Take a few minutes to read this article and let me know what you think.

Naya Rivera (born Naya Marie Rivera on January 12, 1987 in Valencia, California) is an actress, singer and model. Though she skyrocketed to fame with her co-starring role on Glee, she actually has a pretty long history in the entertainment business. Her mother Yolanda had moved to Los Angeles to further her own modeling career, so naturally, Naya was also bitten by the showbiz bug. After starring in Kmart commercials as a baby, Naya landed her first starring TV role at age four. She went on to guest star on hugely successful sitcoms, including Family Matters, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Bernie Mac Show. Along with her impressive TV career, she also has plans to release a solo album on Columbia Records.
Best Known For:
Naya is best known for playing Santana Lopez on Glee.
Personal Life:
Though Naya reportedly had a brief relationship with Mark Salling, her co-star on Glee, she has managed to keep her private life under wraps. She then began dating Big Sean in 2013 and they became engaged a few months later, but wound up splitting in 2014. Naya then began dating actor Ryan Dorsey and the pair quickly got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on the same date she and Big Sean would have married — July 19, 2014.

Cast in Friendship. What is passion? The dictionary defines it as a strong feeling of enthusiasm, or an intense, driving emotion that can become obsessive. For a person, an object, or an activity—there's no difference as far as our minds are concerned. A hundred billion nerve cells and a hundred trillion synapses are always at the ready. Neuroplasticity is what medical researchers call it. What does that have to do with cars? It's very simple: you can love them, passionately.Read more

The Original Monster Truck
On October 25, 2010 By Noel Black
This historic Chevy commercial was shot on the declivities of Pikes Peak by Alexander Film Company. At first it seems that this might be nothing more than a routine drive up the Pikes Peak Highway in an attempt to impress the less savvy of their would-be customers with the dramatic backdrops offered by Pikes Peak. But then they actually drive the truck up… well, not straight , but pretty darn straight up at least a part of the mountain.Continue Reading →

Tonight: The Furthest Reaches of Rock Climbing
On October 14, 2010 By Noel Black
You don't have to be a rock climber or a mountaineer to appreciate the outer limits of human ability and endurance to which these athletes often push themselves. For the past five years Colorado College graduate Pete Mortimer ('97) has been helping to curate Reel Rock, a mini touring film festival that features most daring and innovative climbers and mountaineers from around the world. This year's festival includes films about a free climber who uses a base parachute instead of ropes to ascend some of the most spectacular climbs in the world by himself; a speed-climber and alpinist who climbs the Eiger in under 3 hours; and two young men from Boulder who complete the most technically difficult bouldering routes in the world.Continue Reading →
Field Trip to the Fountain Creek Nature Center

Last Friday, I joined the 4th and 5th grade classes from Buena Vista Elementary School for a field trip to the Fountain Creek Nature Center to see what we could see. And see we saw: butterflies, snakes, snails, birds, bugs, spiders and much more. If you haven't been to the FCNC of late, or ever, do treat yourself to a couple of hours of and some time at the visitors center at any time of year.Continue Reading →
Pueblo to Avondale by Canoe, Part 2
On September 21, 2010 By Noel Black
Yesterday, in the first installment of our journey down the Lower Arkansas River from Pueblo to Avondale, we found our way onto the river, wobbled around a bit and discovered the joys of this seldom-traveled, slow-water canoe trip. In the second part, here, we see a lots of weird things and piles of concrete, some handsome wildlife, and a lot more river-beaten trash. The we take an unplanned dip in the river and…

Late last month, Craig Richardson and I, having heard only rumors of its passability by boat, decided to take a trip down the lower Arkansas River from Pueblo to Avondale.

Dan Takuma
Dan Takuma (團 琢磨?, September 7, 1858 – March 5, 1932) was a Japanese businessman who was Director-General of Mitsui, one of the leading Japanese zaibatsu (family conglomerates). He was a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was married to the younger sister of statesman Kaneko Kentarō.
Dan favored the cultivation of closer relations between Japan and the Western powers. In 1921, he led the Japanese Businessmen's Mission, in which a group of Japanese business leaders visited the United States, Great Britain, and France to discuss bilateral economic issues and to promote personal ties with businesspeople of those countries.
On March 5, 1932, Dan was assassinated by right-wing nationalist Gorō Hishinuma as part of the League of Blood Incident.
Dan's son was embryologist Dan Katsuma, and his grandson was operatic composer Dan Ikuma.

This is important, Dylanites. Nearly 50 years after its release, Bob Dylan's classic "Like a Rolling Stone" has finally got an official music video, and it's pretty much the best thing ever: an interactive video that lets the viewer flip through channels on a virtual television and watch such luminaries as Drew Carey on The Price Is Right, Marc Maron on his WTF podcast, and the dudes from Pawn Stars lip-syncing to the 1965 recording of the song.
In all, there are 16 equally mesmerizing channels to choose from, from sports to cooking to world news to children's cartoons to reality shows; some of the channels are simulations of shows currently on cable, and the best part? All of the people on them know the words to "Like a Rolling Stone."
The video, which was created by Interlude, is probably the most newfangled thing Dylan has ever done (excepting of course his three-year stint on satellite radio and his recent the Bootleg Series app), is being released alongside The Complete Album Collection Volume 1, a new 47(!)-CD box set that arrives juuuust in time for the holidays. If giant boxes of compact discs aren't your thing, the collection is "also available as a limited-edition harmonica-shaped USB stick containing all the music, in both MP3 and FLAC lossless formats." (Of course it's harmonica-shaped.)Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

After reading reviews (rather bad) I was afraid this apartment. But - surprise! Everything was OK, like on photos. No problem with hot water, I didn't see any cockroach ( I took a remedy for these insects), Beautiful, huge apartment with soul. Apartment was cleaned, three bathrooms were cleaned, towels and bedding were also cleaned. Yes, the furnishings in bathroom were a bit tired but it wasn't a problem. It was a bit loud in the rooms from the street. Good localization, close to the subway ( Urgell station - L1 red line). Professional contact with the host. Ideal place for group of few people - we were seven.
Two thumbs down.
We spent a full week in this apartment. We expected a basic, no frills apartment. and that's exactly what it is. Rooms, as usual, are smaller than they appear in the pictures. We were pleased to find it clean and containing the basics for our stay, and communication upon our arrival was very good. We discovered a significant plumbing issue upon arrival, but the management had a plumber on-site within minutes and the problem was fixed after several hours of work. The unit is located on the back of the building which insulates it from noise from the street. It was noisy on Friday and Saturday nights, however, which I'm sure is true of any place in a central location of Barcelona. And the location was excellent! We really liked that there was a open square, of sorts along the street in front of the building with several outdoor cafes. La Rambla is about a five minute walk along a charming street. The Universitat subway station is right around the corner in a Square and I highly recommend the cafe BuenasMigas (next to the Starbucks) for terrific morning pastries and coffee. I also must recommend the cafe Flax and Kale that is only several doors down from the apartment. Great food, is always busy, and on a nice day, check out they're 2nd floor terrace. But back to the apartment, because of it's location within the building, the elevator does not stop at it's floor, so there will be some stairs either way, but very few. One of the showers is VERY small but gets the job done. Also, the apartment does not get any natural light or have any views, but the little terrace in back is nice for coffee and seeing a piece of sky, as long as you don't mind seeing the neighbor's laundry out to dry, which we certainly didn't. If you are 4 or five people looking for basic accommodation in a very good location, you would do well to consider this apartment.
My teenage son and his friends stayed here for 5 days. They thought the flat was great, excellent location, close to the metro and about 40 min walk to the beach. Lovely bakery nearby. Clean and very comfortable. They paid the deposit in cash and got it back at checkout, no problems. Easy check in and check out.
Great apartment, really good location in Barcelona. Communication was great, everything went without any problems. Can recommend it!!
Good location, clean apartment, great service!
Lovely stay, helpful staff/owners, good location, great appartment. The boiler had broken when we arrived, but the owner came and fixed it that evening.
We had a great holiday.
My friend and I booked via Wimdu for the first time. I was more optimistic about the experience that she was. However we had jointly agreed to stay at the Sagrada Familia Apartment. Firstly it is superbly located 2 blocks for the iconic landmark. Ironically despite the 1000's of visitors at the Basilica each day, 2 blocks away it feels local and peaceful (although the bars below can make a little noise if you are an early to bed person. It feels very special to be able to see glimpses of this UNESCO marvel from the apartment as well as walk past it each day. The Metro stop is also 1-2 blocks away, making it easy to get in and out of the city suburbs that have other sites and places of interest (L5 - blue line). Re getting the keys, it is a pain having to call from the airport and arrange for someone to meet you at a particular time, when other airbnb type sites have key boxes so you can arrive more freely. Plan 2 hours from landing to arriving in the city if you go by train certainly.
Martin -our key man was very nice and helpful. It would help nevertheless if WIMDU actually had the correct address. There are 2 building on 436 Career De Mallorca. This particular one is 436 B (opposite Santander bank). As a result meeting out key exchange was a mix up. However all was well after that first hiccup. The apartment is not as big as the photos, nor is it as modern or appealing. We both found it very average. The kitchen is tiny and poorly equipped we felt.. The bathroom not much bigger. There is a double bed, 1 tiny cupboard single room and a pull down single in the office.
It is ideal for 2 people regarding places to put suitcases etc but not inviting enough for you to want to chill on the couch and relax. Saying that we knew we would be out most of the time but that is besides the point.
You pay approx 40 euros for cleaning. I am not sure who gets that money but we found it quite unclean, needing to wipe surfaces and clean crockery first before use.
The little lift is super handy nestled in the hollow of the stair case i- which is old and atmospheric. Also this is the only rented apartment in the building so there is no party noise elsewhere.
The shower pressure is OK. NB. you are only given 1 toilet roll so be prepared! There are no bathroom toiletries except a half empty cheap hand soap dispenser. It felt tacky.
Overall the apartment is quirky in so much it is in an old quarter and is typical of this part of the city. There is a lovely bakery next to the building and cute little bars down below and up towards the Sagrada on the left (after Santander) on Carrer De Mallorca.
Sadly the beds are dreadful as are the pillows. Despite street noise, our inability to sleep was based on poor quality mattresses and flimsy pillows. A real shame.
The little balcony off the double bedroom is nice to enjoy with a night cap or morning cuppa, especially as you can see the Sagrada Familia so closely.
For convenience to the SF Basilica and the Metro, it is well positioned. For quality I am sure you can find better for the money (although maybe not so close to such a world icon as this!?)
1. Excellent Location. Near to Metro stop and airport Bus stop
2. No issues with the apartment except the late check-in fee and high cleaning fees.
3. Wifi was good and never faced any connection issue.
We had a nice time in this Apartment, no problems with oxis! We would recommend this Apartment!

Ferley Captains Second XI
Alex Hales and Martyn Dobson will open the batting for the Nottinghamshire Second XI in today's Trophy match against Minor Counties at Wellbeck CC.
Guy Darwin makes his first appearance for the Second XI after catching the eye in action for Northern Universities and Rob Ferley captains the side.
"Minor Counties are usually one of the most competitive teams in the group and they tend to bring a mixture of ex-professionals and young players who are eager to impress," said Notts 2nd XI Coach Wayne Noon.
"We've never played at Wellbeck before and we don't know what to expect from the wicket but we're looking forward to the game."
Notts 2nd XI to face Minor Counties: A Hales, M Dobson, M Robins, G Darwin, R Ferley (capt), L Fletcher, M Harris, S Elstone, H Riaz, I Saxelby, A Carter

Signature Paint. hull/deck painting
Hi all -- I would like to paint my hull and deck this spring and have been investigating possible materials. I will be limited to rolling and brushing. I am familiar with Interlux Perfection but have come across another paint manufactured and sold by Signature Paints that seems to have several advantages. In particular, the manufacturer says that it can be applied directly over my existing one part non skid paint. I believe that the Signature Paint is a two part urethane. Does anyone have any knowledge about this paint or experience with it? Are there any comments about the the durability of urethane paint compared with polyurethane paint? Thanks very much for your help.
I'm not familiar with the Signature product you mentioned, but I'm interested to hear what others have to say. I plan to paint my hull and deck this coming spring with Interlux Brightside one-part polyurethane, mainly because of cost/ease of application.
I've used Interlux Brightside one-part polyurethane on my hull (wood) and Awlgrip on my decks (fiberglass). So, as a general comment I can say the two part paints will flow better and hold up better. Both paints give an excellent finish but the two part flows and flattens out incredibly. One warning on two part: The temperature ranges, at least the temps in the Awlgrip book, are very optimistic. I now use the "cold weather additive" with Awlgrip even when the day is warm enough according to the book.
Sorry, also have no experience w/Signature, but have used Interlux Brightside on my decks with very good results. Technique is also important. I don't want to bore you with all the religion on prep - I trust you know it's 90% in the preparation and 10% in the final application. But on that last 10% I have found 'very good' goes to 'excellent' if you use the 'roll and tip' method. That is, apply with a roller and dress the rolled paint with a good brush. Make long full strokes across the newly rolled area in a 4-6 way patter of straight, brush strokes, moving across the painted surface in small, say 4sqft areas, at a time. This method gets the most out of the flattening agents in the paint by assisting in distributing the paint more evenly than if it were simply rolled or brushed in 1 or 2 directions. Good luck.
...all that said. Awlgrip is the real answer. Done by a professional if you can swing the cost.
I would recommend Awlcraft 2000 rather than Awlgrip, since it is easier to repair and maintain. :)
If you are using roll/tip ensure the particular paint is designed for that. I believe Awlgrip is designed for professional application where Interlux Perfection is designed for either spary (pro) or roll/tip. Check out the other paints and call the tech support numbers and ask if it is suitable for roll/tip method.
I seriously doubt any two part paint can be applied oevr a one part or unknown paint without a primer. Interlux has a 2 part primer that is designed for this purpose as the two part paint will eat at the existing paint. When we did our decks we did a lot of prep work but did not remove all the underlying paint. We used the two part primer and then Interlux Perfection (then Interthane Plus) with very good results.
If you want a good job then nothing is better than having a pro spray the paint. You can do all the prep work but no roll/tip is ever quite as good as a really good spray job by a pro.
My next project may be One part - probably Brightsides - and roll/tip but that is due to cost and ease of application. Will probably be ona non skid area as well so even easier.
For a hull I think I would always prefer two part.
Currently Boatless
I assume you are referring to Signature Finish?
This comes from the people that make Honey Teak - might even be the same stuff. I painted the deck on my Niagara 35 with it and was very pleased. Did it two-tone - grey on the no-skid (with compound added) and off-white elsewhere. The results are very good and the price was right - much less than $1000 for everything. Tom, the guy who runs the place is most helpful with advice and sent me a kit with everything in it that I needed. Prep was to wash the surface with detergeant (there were no big holes or major cracks - but some minor ones, the paint covered them). I used two rollers to apply and tip but he has gives instructions about other application methods. The use of vinyl masking tape is critical to a good job - don't skimp on it even if it is pricy. I did the job about five years ago and no sign on wear or breakdown. Good stuff and designed for DIY, quality is not as good as a pro spray job but the price differential is huge.
awl grip is made to roll and tip too,,,but awl craft is spray only, and awl grip is worth the price of it,and there are MANY people who swear by slow rollin,, i mean roll and tipping ;)
Yes, I am referring to Signature Finish
thanks very much for responding and relating your experience. Did you apply the Signature over original gel coat or already applied paint? Do you have any thoughts about applying the Signature directly over the one-part paint that now covers my non-skid areas? Any other pitfalls/hints re the application of the paint?

About Nicholas F. Brady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Treasury
Nicholas Frederick Brady (born April 11, 1930) was United States Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, and is also known for articulating the Brady Plan in March 1989.
Early life
The son of Eliot Chace and her husband James Cox Brady, Jr., his great-grandfather was industrialist Anthony N. Brady. He was named for his grandfather's brother, Nicholas Frederic Brady. He grew up on an estate in Far Hills, New Jersey. He was educated at Yale University (B.A., 1952) and Harvard University (M.B.A., 1954).
Brady's political career began when he was appointed as a Republican Senator from New Jersey to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Harrison A. Williams, Jr. He served from April 27, 1982 through December 27, 1982 and did not seek election to a full term. During his time in the Senate he was a member of the Armed Services Committee and the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. As of 2009 he is the last Republican to serve in the U.S. Senate representing New Jersey (Clifford Case was the last elected Republican to serve in the Senate from New Jersey).
In 1984 Reagan appointed Brady to be Chairman of the President's Commission on Executive, Legislative and Judicial Salaries. He also served on the President's Commission on Strategic Forces (1983), the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America (1983), the Commission on Security and Economic Assistance (1983), and the Blue Ribbon Commission on Defense Management (1985). He also chaired the Presidential Task Force on Market Mechanisms in 1987.
Brady became the 68th Secretary of the Treasury on September 15, 1988. In 1989, after a period of years in which a number of developing countries, including Mexico, defaulted on their international debt, he developed the Brady Plan to help them sell dollar-denominated bonds. These became known as Brady Bonds.
He is a former Chairman of the Board of Dillon Read & Co. Inc. (investment banking) (1970–1988) and a former Chairman of Purolator, Inc. (filtration products) (1971–1987).
Brady's career in the banking industry spanned 34 years. He joined Dillon, Read & Co. in New York City in 1954, rising to Chairman of the Board. He has been the Chairman of Darby Overseas Investments, Ltd. and Darby Technology Ventures Group, LLC, investment firms, since 1994. Mr. Brady is Chairman of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds (an international investment management company), a director of Hess Corporation (an exploration and production company) and Holowesko Partners Ltd. (investment management companies). He is also a director of the oilfield services company Weatherford International since 2004. He has been a Director of the NCR Corporation, the MITRE Corporation, and the H.J. Heinz Company, among others. His father had been a major figure in Thoroughbred horse racing both in the United States and in Europe. Although never involved with the sport at the same level as his father, Nicholas Brady served for a time as chairman of The Jockey Club. Mill House (Stable) is the nom-de-course for Brady's racing operation.
He has also served as a trustee of Rockefeller University and a member of the Board of the Economic Club of New York. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Inc. He is a former trustee of the Boys' Club of Newark.
Personal life
Brady and his wife, Katherine, have four children.

When Are You Going to Meet a Nice Jewish Film?
If you didn't know opening night for the Miami Jewish Film Festival was Thursday, you would have thought the festival had already begun. The 17th year for the MJFF sees a new director so eager to start his job, he has already held more than a dozen screenings. "We have put together a program that will appeal to every kind of movie lover," says Igor Shteyrenberg, "from exciting new American Indies to the best international films and eye-opening documentaries." The MJFF buzz has been built so well, its opening night film, When Comedy Went to School, has already sold out.But don't fret, film fans. There are still many notable films with seating available. Catch a 35mm screening of Woody Allen's Broadway Danny Rose, or the award-winning closing night film The Zigzag Kid starring Isabella Rossellini. Beyond the stars, Shteyrenberg wants to dazzle with powerful cinema, offering works like the Israeli thriller Bethlehem and the erotically-charged World War II drama Closed Season. "No doubt there will be some filmic experiences that will feel like someone had punched the wind out of you," warns Shteyrenberg. The Miami Jewish Film Festival runs from Thursday to Monday, February 3, at various venues in the Miami-Dade area, with a special opening night screening at O Cimena Miami Shores (9806 N.E. 2nd Ave., Miami Shores). Tickets cost $9 to $13 at miamijewishfilmfestival.net or call 305-573-7304.

I hate seeing someone doing that to him so we left and went off in search of a sunset beer spot on the square.
Tai met us back at the hostel later and we went to the bar for a much needed beer! The girls had their briefing for their inca trail and so me and tai spent the evening discussing his tattoo decision and the past amazing 4 days we'd just experienced!
The girls left in the early hours of the morning for their hike and me and tai were alone again. We decided we wanted to see a little more of cusco and so opted to go on the free walking tour. Tai was worried as the tour was around 3.5 hours long and he didn't know how he was going to cope without food for that long, he had no reason to worry though as the tour was split into 3 sections, food, history and fun. We spent well over an hour going to different restaurants trying local food including a chocolate museum, a Peruvian fast food restaurant and even a sushi bar. It was great, we went to the local arts school which is a really good thing for cusco as apparently parents will just push their children into becoming tour guides when they grow up so having an arts school still gives people other options, there was some great paintings and sculptures around the main courtyard that the students had taken
The tour ended in the pisco museum where we were given free pisco sours with some very gay dance music blasting from the stereo!
Despite all the free food and drink samples tai was still hungry so we headed to a little vegetarian restaurant and had a feast for less than 5 pounds between us!
We headed back to the hostel chilled out for a bit then decided to head out for a few drinks, after walking into a number of completely empty bars we headed to nortons and spent the evening at the bar deciding what to do over the next few days. We'd learnt on the free walking tour that there was a lake in the hills behind the town where you could fish and a lady would grill for you what you caught. We thought that would be a perfect way to spend a lazy day and at midnight headed back to our hostel.
Failfest 2012 started like any other day, we got up had breakfast and headed out for the day. Our plan was to head towards christo blanco - a big white Jesus that is up in the hills overlooking the city of cusco, from there- and according to the map it seemed easy enough to get to piscigranga- the lake which was full of trout...and water
Even with the best spanish would we have fully understood what we were in for. The arena we arrived at - where we accidentally pushed straight to the front of the queue- was more like a school hall, the cheapest tickets (which we had) were no different to the most expensive (which they tried to sell us). As there seems to be everywhere in Peru, a lady was selling fresh popcorn and we wolfed that down before the show even began
We can honestly say we have never seen anything like it and travelled back in the taxi speechless with wide grins on our faces!
We headed to the bar where JB met us, played the longest game of pool in history- about an hour and a half and headed to sample some more of the cusco nightlife. We headed into a club called methology where the music was considerably better than mama Africa's and danced the night away, us on the dance floor, JB on the bar!
The following day was unfortunately a bit of a write off and we spent the day watching films having discovered the awesome movie room at the hostel which had huge comfy sofas and a projector- it was almost like being back in the wool house
After a day of resting we decided it was time for another adventure and with JB coming along with us we thought we'd have another go at finding the trout lake and christo blanco. We headed in what we thought was the right direction only to be met by a dead end and a concrete football pitch where some locals were playing some football, we asked a guy in very broken Spanish if he could point us in the right direction, luckily he spoke more English than we did Spanish and pointed us towards a little alley way, and so we followed his advice and ventured down. As there seems to be everywhere in Peru there was some dogs chilling in the sun at the side of the alley, there's normally nothing to worry about with the dogs here and so we carried on walking towards them as normal, as we got close though one jumped up bared it's teeth and began barking and coming towards us, we jumped back and it came again, we decided that we should probably turn around- especially as JB hadn't had his rabies jab- and head towards the entrance where you have to pay, this was our last option or we were giving up on these ideas for good. Much to our surprise there wasn't any guards on the gates and do along with the locals we walked through, up an inca path until it opened out to green parks and streams, locals were picnicing, llamas were grazing and locals were asking tourists for money for photos or horse rides. We asked a guy offering horse rides to point us in the direction of the lake- piscigranga - no he said its not possible by foot only by horse back- what a surprise! He informed us it was past the tall trees in the distance and over the mountain, not really trusting him we decided to try and find it on foot
It turns out that locals can visit macchu pichu and other inca sites for free on the last Sunday of every month and so that's why we managed to sneak through without having to pay today as there's no guards!
We decided we should celebrate making it with some afternoon beers and spent the rest of the day in a bar overlooking the main plaza. The girls got back around 8ish and we caught up over some more beers and crap Chinese food. Our group was back together again!
The following two days didn't really go to well for either of us and we spent the majority of them in bed, tai with food poisoning from some dodgy chicken- for the time being he is now vegetarian again- and my stomach cramps had come back again
We made it there in one piece but it was still a short taxi ride to get to the ruins, so we jumped in and headed through a beautiful little mountain town until we got to the ruins. Without a guide we pretty much decided for ourselves what they were and from our previous inca experience we think they were terraces where farmers grew different vegetables and plants. It was still incredibly preserved and when we saw people in big tour groups we felt very smug that we'd managed to do it all ourselves. Once we'd climbed in and out of the ruins the taxi driver offered us a very good rate to take us all the way back to cusco so we decided to skip the bus and go for the comfort of a taxi.
We were all pretty hungry as we'd missed both breakfast and lunch today and so headed out for dinner straight away to our favourite vegetarian restaurant. As we were eating more and more children where coming in dressed in Halloween costumes with little pumpkin carriers, they would go up to the bar staff and say "halloween" and the restaurant would give them sweets- must be a much safer and more profitable way of trick or treating than going door to door as we do at home. We left the restaurant and as we rounded the corner onto the main square we couldn't believe what was happening- it seems that people love Halloween over here
Our last day in cusco was the 1st November- a month since we had begun our travels. Nicki and ingrid hadn't been to the music workshop on their walking tour so we thought it would be cool to all go again. The man played us some of the instruments he made again and yet again they sounded wonderful, so much so we decided we shouldn't miss out on an opportunity to buy one, after some deliberation we decided on an instrument called a charrango, a 10string guitar which looks a little like a ukelele. It apparently takes the man around a year to make each one. It's definitely something that feels really special and we were both excited to begin learning to play. The rest of the afternoon we wandered the markets and cusco town soaking up as much as we could of this beautiful town before our night bus to puno that night. We had a final farewell dinner with Kirsty where I unfortunately ordered a meal that tasted like feet- but hey I guess that's gonna happen at times! Cusco had been great but we were both definitely ready to leave and continue our adventure.

Keep Your Home Comfortable This Summer With a Fly Screen Mesh!
Now that the summer is here, you can expect that there will be an influx of insects that can probably come into your home. If you want to keep your home cool and more comfortable during the hot summer days, the best way to deal with it is to open up your windows and main doors so you can let the fresh air in your home. However, once you do this, one of the most obvious things that may happen is that the flies and other insects would get in your home.
You may even have to deal with birds, small animals, leaves and debris that may get blown in your home. Insects are actually a stressful thing because they can irritate you to no end but the more concerning thing about having insects in your home is that you may experience diseases which can happen if the insects touch your food and water. Also, you might suffer diseases from insect bites as well. The good thing is you can avoid all of these without spending a lot of money. All you have to do is to install a fly screen door and insect mesh on the windows so you can enjoy having the fresh and cool breeze even while keeping the insects out.
When you have insect mesh and door fly screens, you are actually effectively letting the fresh air in your home. This is because the insect mesh can filter and block out the insects effectively eve when you leave the doors and windows open. This means that you will not have a stuffy feeling in your home and you no longer need to use the air conditioner all the time because you already have a fresh air blowing into your home. You even get the chance to be free from diseases because you don't need to deal with the insects anymore. Also, when you have a door fly screen and insect mesh for your windows, you no longer need to use your indoor lights in your rooms because you already have illumination from the sunlight outside your home! You can even save money on your energy consumption!
If you want to get the best fly screen doors for your home, make it a habit to visit the BuzzStop website so you can see their different fly screen door and insect mesh offers! Check out their website today to learn more!

What Do You Believe Is The Best Way To Retaliate Bullying?
so there was some extremely hot debate on how you should retaliate toward bullies.
Sorry for the awkward wording of the title btw :P
So, what do you think is the best thing to do when you are getting bullied?
Aaaand also what is the best thing to do for:
Verbal bullying aaaaand
Physical bullying.
well you must find courage to deal with it at first.
Then there's several ways to stop it.
Mostly it depends in what state/level the bullying is.. and where it is.
Personally I would try 3 things.
1. Seek up an adult with the authority to somehow prevent it.
2. Talk back/Beat the crap out of the bullie/s
3. If I get damaged after number 2 I call the police or report abuse. (mostly if number 2 failed..)
It depends sometimes just telling them they're being a *bleep* is enough but then other times the the police needs to be involved so it really depends on what the bully is like. If you have a clear view of their motive then it's easy to find the right course of action. :o
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
If somene strikes you with words, strike back with words. If someone strikes you with fists, strike back.
If you are not strong enough then get stronger.
I will kick their asses LOL
Really the only way to deal with bullying is to stop it at it's root.
Let's round them all up, all the bullies, and send them off on a train to work camps.
usually i find that just ignoring those people will help i used to be verbally bullied a little bit back in elementary and middle school and i have found that usually people stop if i just ignore them you can also usually tell who the kind of people are that might bully you so it allways helps to just avoid them so that they never get a chance to start bullying you
you could also chop their parents up and then cook them into a chili then feed the bully their parents in the chili XD
i find beating them up in the boys changing rooms and then telling everyone they hit like a girl afterwords helps

I have a deep brood box, that is completely filled out and full of brood, etc.
This spring, I put a shallow super on, with wax foundation. All but about 3 combs are completely drawn out with honey.
So then I got a medium super with wax foundation. I put this on top. And then I moved two of the outside non-finished frames in the shallow super to the center.
My question is whether I need more brood space, and should I do something about that? Should I have put the shallow super on top and the medium super in the middle? (btw, I do not use a queen excluder).


text: Another couple and my family and I stayed at Las Tortugas in December it was the most beautiful and amazing trip. We loved the views. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. We had use of the car to drive into town or go out for dinner. The private beach was awesome. We took a walk down the beach and enjoyed a cold drink in a cute little beach bar. However cooling off in the infinity pool with a glass of wine was my favorite way of spending the day. There are two master bedrooms one on either end of the house with its own on suite. There was also a double bed in the loft space. Downstairs there were built in couches and a ping pong table which was fun.

To make lots of quilts, is to have lots of scraps, and I do, and I do.
Love how you cleaned Rizzo up. So glad to see she will be used and loved. Nice machine. Good work.
You did a great job on her. That is a really good idea to put craft foam on the bottom. Sometimes those heavy portables can really vibrate.
Nice find. You did a great job cleaning her up. She sure looks purty. And the zebra print seams to suit her. enjoy.
My little shinning stars. Brantley, Kaylynn, and Emmalee
I have seen the black stuff before, it is most likely bits of rubber from the belt which is beginning to degrade of was too tight. Did you repaint the case or what?
pat design
I like what you did with Rizzo. Great find and job on cleaning her up. I have seen the black stuff before also and agree with Pat that it is probably from the belt. Enjoy her.
Bennett, could you elaborate on how you cleaned this machine? What drastic measures did you have to go to on it?
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.

Professors, staff member retire after impressive tenures
Chemistry professor retiring after 27 years
Chemistry professor Alan Goren is retiring after 27 years at Transylvania. Fall 2012 will be his final term.
Goren arrived on campus in 1985 after a tenure at New England College, where after teaching at its main campus in New Hampshire, he went to a campus in Arundel, England, to chair the engineering program. He met his wife in Arundel and got the opportunity to become dean at the England campus, but decided instead to return to the New Hampshire campus for a year, then found the position at Transylvania.
"At New England I was just teaching general education classes—we didn't have a major," he said. "I was happy to come here and teach chemistry majors."
What he found in Lexington assured him that this was the place he wanted to spend the rest of his education career.
"The people here were very nice, and the students have been challenging," he said. "They make you work. They can't be bluffed, and I like that. The administration has expectations of us, and the faculty have expectations with each other that we should be scholarly and involved in our fields."
That involvement has always defined Goren's approach to chemistry. After earning his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Delaware, he worked in industry at a polyester manufacturer in North Carolina. While at Transylvania, he took great advantage of his sabbaticals, using them to study at the University of Sussex in England, the University of Washington in Seattle, and his most recent one at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy.
"One of the things I'm most thankful for is the three great sabbatical opportunities while I was here," Goren said. "I'm very appreciative of Transylvania supporting those. To be able to go off and be a student again—that's just a treat. I got to go to meetings in England and France, meet people all over the world. Research is so stimulating and challenging."
A close second to his passion for chemistry was his love for Transylvania students. Mathematics professor David Shannon, who had an office next to Goren's and became close friends with him, said his students felt comfortable sitting in Goren's office and talking about any number of subjects.
"He enjoyed talking with students about their various interests, and that made him a very popular teacher," Shannon said. "Students felt they could come talk to him not just about chemistry, but about their interests outside of the classroom. He took very seriously the notion that the faculty needed to be mentors to the students and even to the rest of the faculty."
Goren, a Massachusetts native, enjoys being able to connect with people over a wide variety of topics, especially if they happen to share his love for the Boston Red Sox. Goren has always been an athlete, growing up playing baseball and developing that into a penchant for cricket while in England. He played on a village team with players from ages 16 to 60 and older.
"It was like the softball leagues around here—everyone thinks they can still play the game," Goren said. "They play on Sundays during the summer months with other small villages. It's a friendly game, and there's always a pint or two at the end."
Goren's travels and ability to make friends wherever he ventured gave him an appreciation for people of differing backgrounds and worldviews—a true liberal arts mindset. He noted his time in Seattle, where he noticed there was an Asian American governor, two female senators, and a Jewish mayor, saying, "It's how the world should be."
"I've learned a lot," he said. "Meeting people around the world, you realize that we're all the same, and you realize it sitting around having a beer or a coffee."
Goren plans to go back to Massachusetts to be near his daughter and grandsons. He and his wife also kept her home in England, and they'll visit there often. He recently took his oldest grandson to his first Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
"It's my grandsons that are so exciting—the thought of meeting them after school and taking them to their sporting events," he said. "I have no regrets, but for me it's time to go. I've worked for good people, and it will be hard to leave."
English professor Tay Fizdale retires
English professor Tay Fizdale retired in May after 33 years (1979-2012) of service on the Transylvania faculty.
Fizdale taught many Shakespeare courses, along with a variety of courses on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century writers. He was known especially for his film courses that emphasized the medium as a major contemporary art form. He billed the weekly film screenings he organized as the "Film Junkies."
"Tay introduced the serious study of film at Transylvania," said Vice President and Dean of the College William F. Pollard. "He was always very careful to make sure students understood that it was not simply watching movies, but was a very rigorous study of film as literature."
Pollard also noted Fizdale's devotion to students and his attention to detail in preparing for his classes and analyzing student evaluations.
"Tay was one of the most appreciated and demanding professors we have had in the classroom," he said. "He cared very much about how students responded to his courses. He spent so much of his effort on very difficult, complex courses, and they became complex because he took the feedback from students so seriously.
"Many students felt he was a mentor to them, in a very honest way, talking with them about what they might do with their English major and whether graduate school would make sense for them."
Fizdale holds a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from the University of California–Los Angeles, where he studied under renowned early English literature scholar Earl Miner.
Mills retires after 28-year tenure as registrar
Registrar Jim Mills retired from Transylvania June 29 after 28 years with the institution.
Mills came to Transylvania in 1984 from Western Kentucky University, where he was assistant registrar. He earned a master's degree in clinical psychology from WKU, which he joked sometimes came in handy with students who came to his office.
"The part I liked most about this job was working individually with students and working them through whatever problems they may have had—working as an advisor and consoler sometimes," he said. "But it's surprising how little acrimony there is. There's as much being a bearer of good tidings as bad."
His work as registrar involved managing Transylvania's curriculum records while helping students fulfill their degree requirements. He oversaw the transition into the computerization of the registrar's office, and eventually into offering student forms and registration online. He also had faculty status, teaching a psychology course during the summers and serving on faculty committees like the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards.
"One of the great things about this position is you have contact with everybody at the school—faculty, students, staff," he said. "It's easy to get tied up in drop/add periods and deadlines and lose sight of what we're really here to do. But being in a classroom refreshes the notion of what's really important, which is an undergraduate liberal arts education. Transylvania is a wonderful school, and we do well what we claim to do well."
Throughout his time at Transylvania, Mills developed a keen sense of the history of the college, not just in regard to classes and professors, but also the campus itself and events surrounding it.
"If you ever need a Transylvania trivia team, put him and B. J. (Gooch, Special Collections librarian) together, and they'll win it," said Michelle Rawlings, who was promoted to registrar from associate registrar. "I don't know if my brain will ever hold as much knowledge about the campus as his."
He's also known around Old Morrison for his quick wit and for his chickens, which he raises for eggs at his downtown Lexington home. According to executive assistant to the president Deana Ison '95, who was a work-study student in the registrar's office, he even named his chickens after his student workers. One Halloween saw Mills dressed up as a farmer while Rawlings and administrative support specialist Ashley Coons '09 dressed as chickens.
Ison spoke about Mills at his retirement luncheon in May, giving an idea of what he meant to her over the years beyond his administrative position. Mills had recommended Ison for an admissions counselor position, one that she didn't even know had opened.
"His endorsement, and the training that I received working for him, set the stage for everything I have achieved up to this point in my professional life," she said. "His influence has meant so much to me that to this day, I still cannot bring myself to refer to him as anything other than Mr. Mills. His true legacy at Transylvania is not in the meticulous records that he kept on our students, or the number of diplomas he delivered at commencement. Rather, Jim Mills will forever be remembered for his commitment to students, which was extraordinary."
Mills took a great interest in the students and remains in touch with several.
"I appreciate all the people I've come to know here and have been amazed by the talent that has gone through," he said. "When I read the alumni publication, somebody I knew as not much more than a child is doing things far beyond what I did. I'm just always amazed. It's a satisfying thing to see that happen and know you might have had some input in moving somebody along."

Rob Ellis, better known under his Pinch moniker, has prepared a new 12-inch single titled "Retribution." The record will come out in the U.K. next Monday (Dec. 19) on the Swamp81 label, and it's a mixture of overdriven electronics and the kind of shuffling beat that made Pinch a standout in the increasingly crowded dubstep scene. There's a crossover here between his original work and something more IDM oriented, with the fuzzy Space Invaders-style noises reminiscent of early work by the Black Dog and Autechre. But the beat that underpins it all grounds this in familiar territory for anyone previously drawn to Pinch's work. Check it out in the clip below. [via FACT]

A Giant fan taunted 5000 people by himself, he got punched in the back of the head and was whisked away by cops before being a human sacrifice. The vids are all over UTube; if it were any other city I would feel a little sorry for owning their butts so hard, but its Boston so I'm good with it. Funny vids, their all like "U.S.A, U.S.A.!!!" and F@** New York. It made me so proud as a New Yorker.

Did you ever get the feeling that you were having a dream, and the only character was Barack Obama? You would leave the house, there he was. You would get on a bus. There he was. Drive to a new town. Who do you think is the only one walking down Main Street? You got it, President Obama. Well apparently you are not alone.
Capped off this week by his visit to Letterman, speech at the U.N., speech at the G 20, television commercial on healthcare, song about him sung by the school children in New Jersey (like a song that would be sung to Kim Jung-il, it seems that wherever you turn, Big Brother is there.
As the cartoon above depicts, exposure can be a good thing, but with overexposure you run the real risk of being tuned out. What did I just say? See what I mean.
So my amateur advice to the President might be to pull in the horns a little bit and come around when you truly have something new and important to say. Rehashing the same healthcare points over and over again is not the way. As an idea, how about a substantive speech on national security with real action and not just rhetoric. Give it a try. It would be in the best health interests of the country!

Make the Season Bright with a Wisconsin Sleigh Ride
Last Updated: 1/27/2013
This season, the jingle of sleigh bells aren't just reserved for Christmas songs. You can hear the jubilant sound as you dash through the snow on your own sleigh or carriage ride, right here in Wisconsin. Whether it's with your sweetheart, your friends, or the whole family, you're sure to find holiday cheer on these classic rides.
Doberstein's Express in Withee
Bring a group as small as two or as large as forty and hop aboard a sleigh ride through the peaceful Chequamegon National Forest. Further the fun with hot chocolate, cookies and a bonfire. If you get a bit chilly, step into the warming shed and you're sure to feel toasty in no time.
Mayberry's Carriages in Sturgeon Bay
These nostalgic, narrated sleigh rides or wagon rides are perfect for groups year round. You'll follow old logging trails as you glide through the woods, before returning to sample wines and ciders, all made on site.
Brandt's Sleigh & Wagon Rides in Antigo
Glide away on a two-hour tour of perfectly groomed trails. Riders are welcome to bring food or beverages for a post-ride cookout over a bonfire. Tables, fire and grills are provided. If you ask, you might even get Santa Claus to drive the sleigh.
Rocking L. Acres Sleigh Rides in McFarland
Just five miles outside of Madison, watch horses being hitched up for your own winter sleigh ride. Warm up afterwards by a toasty wood-burning stove and enjoy hot beverages, cookies and stories from your driver.
Bulitz Carriage & Sleigh Rides in Kohler
Enjoy the beauty of a carriage ride without enduring the cold in Bulitz's heated, enclosed carriages, departing from the American Club. If a sleigh ride is more your style, head to the Bulitz Farm for a snowy dash across 40 acres. Then warm up by the indoor fire with a cup of cocoa.
Cabin Ridge Rides in Cadott
These sleigh rides don't just go the whole nine yards, they go the whole 400 acres along Paint Creek. Snag some goodies at the gift shop and enjoy year 'round catered picnics in the pavilion and beside the bonfire. Want to really throw a party? Two log cabins can house catered parties of up to 400.
Get carried away and cozy up in one of these carriage or sleigh rides without having to hold the reins.This entry was posted in Winter Activities

Leap of faith: Tata has given Jaguar and Land Rover more autonomy than when they were owned by Ford.
3 July 2009
By DAVID HASSALL
KEVIN Stride may only be in middle-age, but he has spent his entire working life for Jaguar Cars and – one year down the track from Tata Motors' takeover – he believes the company is thriving under Indian ownership.
Mr Stride decided he wanted to be a Jaguar engineer at only seven years of age and is now the chief engineer on the highly-acclaimed XF program, so nobody could be more committed to the Jaguar brand, and he believes everyone in the company is extremely positive about life under Tata.
"There's a real buzz around the brand at the moment," he told GoAuto at the recent XF upgrade launch in the Hunter Valley.
"Even in a difficult world, there's a buzz because we're feeling empowered, we've got the right product line-up to go and tackle the world and we're gaining some confidence.
"If you went to people at different function levels in Jaguar Land Rover and asked what they thought of Tata, you'd get a big thumbs-up.
"It's a good place to be at the moment. For individuals like myself, it's changed for the better.
"We had a great relationship under Ford. People were cynical about that, but they were a very good company to work for.
Left: Tata chairman Ratan Tata opens India's first Jaguar dealership on Sunday."With Tata, it's different, but different in a good way.
"We are held accountable very clearly as an independent company, whether in engineering or marketing or finance, we are held accountable for proper business performance, which in the old regime was a little filtered. It was very difficult to see cause and effect. We were not able to be as focused as we are now.
"Tata has a very healthy way of approaching all the businesses they own. They don't centralise it, they don't put layers of bureaucracy in it. They evaluate the business model; if they like it, they buy the company and demand that they deliver on the business plan. You can't just meander off and fail.
"We have a lot more focus now. Everybody down to the guy working on the shop floor understands how important things like cashflow are. Before, we might have been talking about profits, but in the world as it is now cashflow is as important as profits and everything we do has to be very carefully thought-through.
"People are almost treating it like their home finances now; they feel accountable for it and that's brilliant for the health of the company, where people all through the company understand it's our company and the things we do make a difference."
Having joined Jaguar as an engineering cadet in 1987 – only two years before the struggling outfit was bought by Ford – Mr Stride is used to working with the notorious Ford Motor Co bureaucracy with its layered management and copious paperwork and reports.
He likes the more agile way Jaguar Land Rover now works and agrees it is now more autonomous than under Ford.
"Yes, definitely. There are very few people from Tata who are in the Jaguar Land Rover structure. In fact, I can only think of two.
"We get visits from (Tata Motors' managing director) Ravi Kant and (Tata Motors' chairman) Ratan Tata probably once a month or every two months, and they review our business performance, as you would expect, but they're not standing over us insisting that they veto every decision we make.
"(Under Ford), you had some pretty complex levels of decision-making. Having said that, we probably had more autonomy than people gave us credit for, but there was always the risk that the decision-making wasn't local enough and you could get conflict, which could delay decisions or force decisions the wrong way.
"Cultural change is the hardest thing to do. It does take time. But we've been with Tata for a year, we are more agile already, people (within JLR) are questioning why we do things and if it adds value, and we are feeling more empowered to go and attack it. If it doesn't make any sense and it adds another layer, let's not do it any more.
"That's refreshing. We've got a long way to go, but that's exciting. We're in a reasonable position, but we've got so much to improve that the health of the company is promising."
Mr Stride said there was no pressure on the British office to switch more sourcing to India, but did not rule it out in the future as JLR already scoured the world for the best sources for components, services and tooling – something that was already a part of the business plan Tata bought into.
Not only is the company open to doing more business in the East; it welcomes the opportunity and believes it can actually learn a lot about business from the Indians.
"Since Tata have come in, we've now got an insight into how they deal with Indian sources and sources within the whole of South-East Asia," Mr Stride told us.
"My perception is that they are extremely focused businessmen and extremely principled in what they do, which is great coaching for us as a company.
"We've gone and looked at how they operate as a company – how they source components, how they design them, how they manufacture them – and we've got quite a bit to learn from them on the business side."
In return, Mr Stride said Jaguar is able to offer an insight into quality processes in the premium world.
"In terms of our engineering simulation and development, we're pretty advanced for a company the size of Jaguar Land Rover. That's something we'll be able to provide benefit to the Tata Group in years to come."
