|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I ordered it and it still hasn't come in yet. They are shipping it out sometime this week or next though. I liked it by the looks of it. Seems like the cheaper version of the 390. It has canting and seems like an All mountain binding to me. For 180 bucks you really can't go wrong. They have super light bindings too. That why I like them so much. The way the are designed just shades so much weight and it so much more practical. The only other bindings I see as close to Rome's are Salomon. The thing I like better about Salomon is that they have toe bindings that are meant for just toes, Rome doesn't and sometimes it doesn't hold as well. But Salomon bindings are heavy as hell.

Can anyone tell me about the Rome Mob binding? I am looking for a good all around binding and have heard some good things about Rome in general. Any opinions on their bindings...and specifically the mob?

A professor of History at the Tufts University with as many as seven books to her credit, the Pakistani-American who is an authority on South Asia has chosen to return to Pakistan as a visiting scholar to help address the gap in her own way.
In India to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival, Jalal told PTI during an interaction why she felt that the academic growth of history in India had contributed to the development of a worthy scholarship in this country.
"Of course, there are biases and political agendas too, but India has continued to teach history, as a result of which you have historical scholarship coming from India," she said.
"I was bemoaning the fact that in Pakistan history has suffered as an academic discipline, and is not taught as is the way in India," she said.
Jalal's books include 'The Sole Spokesman' and 'Democracy and Authoritarianism in South Asia' ?" works that have tried to trace the history of the subcontinent including the origins and the tortured legacy of the partition.
She has also co-authored Modern South Asia: History, Culture and Political Economy with her husband Sugata Bose, a book that is considered perhaps the first joint exercise by an Indian and a Pakistani in dissecting the history of modern South Asia.
A grand niece of eminent Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto, Jalal returns to Pakistan from her base in the United States as a visiting professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
"In my own modest way, I am trying to address this issue by teaching history in Pakistan," she said.
The author, whose last book 'Partisans of Allah: Jihad in South Asia' traced the discourse on jihad in South Asia over centuries, strongly believes that the Taliban has lost support among the people and that Pakistan is a country that is politically more resilient than many would believe.
"The Arab Spring has reinforced the fact that the people are prepared to take up structures of state. In Pakistan, despite military regimes, no ruler has survived more than 11 years, forget about 30 or 40 years. I think Pakistan is politically more resilient than many people believe, all it needs is a chance," she said.
However, she believes the issues ?"- of pervading injustice and inequity -- that have contributed to al qaeda'a rise will have to be addressed to put an end to violence.
The emergence of Imran Khan on Pakistan's political horizon has made many people take note of the former cricketer's potential, and Jalal feels it has a lot to do with the prevailing disenchantment and yearning for a change.
"There is a lot of disenchantment in Pakistan, there is anti-incumbency what Indians know very well. Imran Khan's popularity has much to do with it. People are looking up to him for a change," she says.

Parent Network Specialist Project
PNS primarily assists children and families enrolled in the CSHCN program with educational, vocational and transitional services. This statewide project features five Specialists who are parents of children of varying ages who have a disability and are located in geographically strategic areas of West Virginia. These Parent Network Specialists provide one-on-one information and referral services and follow-up to families who have a child with a disability. Parent Network Specialists receive on-going training in pertinent areas such as Title XIX MR/DD Waiver and Medicaid processes, HIPAA regulations, the roles of other agencies, and the availability of resources.
The Parent Network Project has produced a Care Notebook for parents and other family members caring for a child with a disability. The Care Notebook is a case management tool and a resource guide, which can be used as a single depository of information (e.g., medical, emergency contacts, and care provider contact information) that parents can have available to take to appointments or to leave at home as a reference for care providers. The annotated resource guide section provides contact information for disability-related agencies and services.
The Parent Network Project is funded by the West Virginia Division of Health and Human Resources, Office of Maternal, Child and Family Health, Children with Special Health Care Needs Program.

Embattled coal tycoon Nathan Tinkler has appeared in the NSW Supreme Court to face a public grilling for the first time over the state of his finances, as creditors seek to recover millions of dollars in unpaid debts.
Mr Tinkler flew in from his home in Singapore having been threatened with arrest if he failed to present himself in the court.
He lost a last-minute bid to avoid questioning over a $28.4 million debt to junior coal explorer Blackwood. The Blackwood case is one of a series of lawsuits against the former billionaire over unpaid bills and commercial disputes that have raised questions about the future of his main asset, a near one-fifth stake in Whitehaven, Australia's largest independent coal miner.
Nathan Tinkler in court for Mulsanne Resources examination - standing room only and no chair even for him!— Paddy Manning (@gpaddymanning) March 14, 2013
Tinkler's private shelf company, Mulsanne Resources, was placed into liquidation at Blackwood's request after Mr Tinkler failed to follow through on a deal for a $28.4 million share placement.
Mr Tinkler faced being held in contempt of court if he failed to appear at today's 11am hearing before registrar Jennifer Hedge, and could have been issued with an arrest warrant.
As a director of Mulsanne, Mr Tinkler could also be found personally liable for its debts.
Robert Newlinds, the lawyer for liquidator Ferrier Hodgson, is expected to focus initially on the share placement agreement, but questioning could extend to Mr Tinkler's wider business empire and personal financial position.
Mr Tinkler, who moved with his family to Singapore last year, has paid off debts worth millions of dollars in recent months to stave off some creditors and avoid public scrutiny of his finances through the courts.
He has been selling assets, including horses from his large stable, and liquidators have seized his private jet and helicopter.
Blackwood confirmed on Wednesday that while talks had been held with Mulsanne Resources, there had been ''no offer capable of acceptance in respect of a takeover offer or other control proposal for shares in the company''.
A spokesman for Blackwood said that although all settlement negotiations ceased while the abuse of process claim was heard, the ''lines of communication remain open'' and talks with Mulsanne were continuing.
Mulsanne liquidator Robyn Duggan, a partner at Ferrier Hodgson, said yesterday that Mr Tinkler would be first up for examination, followed by company secretary Aimee Hyde and co-directors Matthew Keen and Troy Palmer.
She said the liquidators' barrister, Robert Newlinds, SC, would lead the examination, initially focusing on the share placement agreement, but questioning could extend to Mr Tinkler's personal financial position.
''If we attend court tomorrow and we call on Mr Tinkler as first examinee and if he fails to attend, he will be in contempt of court and we will be within our rights to ask the court to issue a warrant for his arrest,'' Ms Duggan said. ''If an arrest warrant is issued and Mr Tinkler is not in the country, police would place a watch on him at ports and airports and he would be arrested on arrival.

In America, we are all free to be as stupid as we like, and thank God for that.
Then on the other hand, the consequences of our stupidity is nature's way of thinning out the population to get rid of the more stupid of us.
That's the "Darwin Effect".
In the situation mentioned, it is "possible" that one stupid person may induce another stupid person to commit a violent act therefore putting the 1rst stupid person in the ground and the other in jail for a considerable time thereby taking said 2nd stupid person out of our way as well.
So what you do is stay away from both stupid people and let Darwin sort it out.

Apparently there was a reason to watch other than Britney's 'comeback'… Seems Indy IV's title is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and TFN has the press release to back it up. There's nothing on it up on IndianaJones.com when I posted this, but there does appear to be a brand-new video.
Tag Archives: shia labeouf
Indiana Jones and the Third to Last Crusade?
IESB is reporting that not only has Shia LeBeouf has been signed for making 4 pictures (meaning that the Indiana Jones franchise may go to seven films), but that Harrison Ford has signed for at least 3 more films, meaning that – if the reports are correct – Indy won't be seen for the last time in this upcoming adventure.
Big news: LaBeouf is in for Indy IV
LaBeouf: "Just a rumor."
Shia LaBeouf denies Indy 4 casting rumor at press event for the animated Surf's Up, his latest film.
Not so, LaBeouf said. "That's just a rumor," he insisted. "I know that when I have a job I sign contracts, I talk to directors, and that hasn't happened, and until that happens, I'm out of work. I'm looking at a bunch of different things."
Would he take the role if offered? "If that happens, of course I'm on board," he said. "It's a dream job, but it's a rumor right now."
Then, apparently, tries on a fedora. Uh-huh.
Indy 4: Truth to LaBeouf rumor after all?
Variety reported yesterday that Shia LaBeouf is in 'final talks' to to play Harrison Ford's son in the fourth Indy film.

Dear Jon: Jet lag can be largely avoided
Holiday traveler seeks advice
DEAR JON - Whether you're traveling home after the holidays or embarking on a new journey across time zones, playing catch-up with your body clock is tough. Molly emailed me and asks, "Dear Jon, help! I'm jet lagged. What can I do about it?" My source tells me when you travel by air, it can take one day to recover for every time zone that you pass through.
So if you fly from New York to California, that's three time zones. From San Francisco to London, that's eight time zones. Whether its three or eight time zones, that is some serious jet lag. Here's some advice that I received from Joan and Lydia Wilen, who are known for the everyday suggestions to life's challenges.
If you want to get over jet lag quicker, as soon as you board the plane, pretend it's whatever time it actually is at your destination. In other words, if you board the plane at 6 p.m. here in California and you're headed for Madrid, Spain, where it's 3 a.m., pull down your window shade, make it as dark as possible and try to go to sleep.
If you board a plane late at night and it's already daylight at your destination, force yourself to stay awake during the flight. Making believe that you're already in the new time zone at the very start of your trip should help you acclimate more quickly.
This seems like common sense, but you have to be disciplined and do some clock watching to get the timing right.
If you have a question for me, just email me here. Or you can message me on Facebook and Twitter.

Holocaust victim, artist Charlotte Salomon's life premieres as opera
By Michael Roddy
SALZBURG Austria (Reuters) - The Berlin-born Jewish artist Charlotte Salomon left behind a body of watercolors and text she called "Life? or Theatre?" before she was killed at Auschwitz in 1943 at age 26, carrying her unborn child.
Salomon's life, which has inspired films, plays and a musical, was turned into an opera that plumbed the depths of human emotion in its premiere on Monday at the Salzburg Festival in Austria.
With music by French composer Marc-Andre Dalbavie, staging by Swiss director Luc Bondy and libretto by German-Jewish author Barbara Honigmann, who used 85 percent of Salomon's own text, the work was the season's most anticipated opera at the prestigious festival in the city of Mozart's birth.
It did not disappoint.
Although a gang of uniformed Nazi toughs appeared at strategic moments as a reminder of the inevitable ending, the opera focused more on the difficult emotional and intellectual problems Salomon faced as a young woman.
She only belatedly learned that her mother had committed suicide by leaping from a third-floor window, and there was a family history of suicide that haunted her.
Her first lover, who treated her badly, was a vocal coach she and her stepmother shared as a partner. "You throw me crumbs...and I am your dog," Salomon says of him.
Twice - at the beginning and at the end - she says she has nightmares in microcosm that, in the real world, are "played out in macrocosm". Continued...

Shingle Over Or Remove/replace?
My first time on a forum like this.
I am just starting to research a DIY job on my primary home. The roof has not been replaced since the home was built in 1989. Although no leaks it is looking faded and the asphault is pebbling off.
The home is one story hip and gable roof over 3990 sqft of house (big order for DIY, I know). Its been many years since I assisted in singling a roof, however it was not difficult then using just shingle, hammer and nails. I do have three teen age boys who will be "eager" to help...well, they'll help anyway. The home is in the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
For the more experienced the question is whether I should shingle over the existing roof, or remove and replace? What are some common first overlooks for estimating the job in both expense and materials? Any other "by the ways" to help?
I've been told that 2nd layers build excess heat and do not allow a proper cooling cycle. THis means the new shingles will age prematurely and need to be replaced much sooner than if you did a complete tear off and re-roof. But, I am not a roofer...
You have three teenage boys for tearoff so that's easy!
I hate tearing off shingles but I hate shingle overs more. I'm sure they can be done ok but I always felt like the roof wouldn't look as nice, hold up as long - and why carry all that extra weight on your roof (I guess you don't have to worry about snow load there).
Measure the roof carefully, don't forget to account for shingles for the ridge. Plan on finding some roof sheathing that needs replacement. Use architectural (dimensional) shingles instead of 3 tab. They look better, go on easier and seem to hold up better.
That's a mighty big roof. Tear off and reroof a section at a time. Start small until you get a feel for how much you can do at a time. I imagine it rains pretty frequently there and you don't want tearoff to get ahead of what you can shingle before the next rain. Make sure you tarp the transitions between new and old really well as you work your way around the house.
Make sure you use those boys! They will never forget helping Dad with the roof.
Be careful about shingling over. I don't know if that will affect the warrenty of your shingles or not. Check it out!
The age of your roof and the probable inherent brittlness will likely cause secured nail fastening detachment.
The more brittle the underlying roof system is, the more chances you have for the nails to move laterally, sort of like a toggle affect. This will eventually lead to nail displacement and loose shingles.
Additionally, the trapped air between the old roofing shingles and the new roofing system will allow contained areas of heat pockets, or heat sumps as I have elsewhere heard it described. This additional trapped heat will significantly cause the new roof system to fail prematurely.
As a rule of thumb, I believe that you should factor in a minimum of a 25 % decrease in shingle life longetivity for each additional layer of roofing shingles applied.
Further, due to this premature failure and the necessity to do the roof over again in less than 15 years, you will not have the personal desire and the availability of the sons to assist you in your tear-off endeavors.
Also, the additional packing along the eave and gabled edges is unsightly and will reduce the ROI of you home if you decide to place it on the market.
Finally, your roof square footage will be a major undertaking and you should allow for over a months worth of weekends to miss out on other essential family activities.
Who amongst your family members has any day to day knowledge of the proper and correct application methods and will adhere to them accordingly?
What will you do if the weather takes a turn for the worse, while stripping off the old roofing materials?
How much carpentry expertice do any of you have in the event that some of the deck sheathing needs replacement?
This is a very large project for a DIY with your kids.
Roof over is bad practice anywhere in FL. I am not aware of any manufacturers warranty on a roof over. Ed has detailed many of the reasons above. Besides that they look like dodo. FL humidity is just too tough on roofing materials to allow roof overs except as a foolish option of last resort.:no:
4o squares, a tearoff, sheathing repair,replacement, caps , debris removal,
DIY? Not this one. REALLY call a roofing contractor, get a beer, sit in the pool and watch em work. Roofing is NOT an enjoyable sport.
No insult intended, just loading the shingles is an absolutely miserable bear of a job. 3 tabs are about 125 lbs per square or more. 40 sq, probably 5000 lbs or more, plus paper, nails etc in FLA heat nah ya dont wanna go there
Don't put your children or yourself at risk. Besides any mistakes the kids make you most likely won't catch. :yes:
To all -
This is what is so great about forums like this. All suggestions and comments have given me pause to reconsider my initial plan. I had not considered issues of warranty or heat build-up with an shingle-over. I'll get some more job estimates form area roofers. Thanks for your help.
All the best - BullDogg
3-tabs(25 yr)start at 235 lb.s per square,you need to strip it check the decking,tape all the plywood seams,install eave protection,felt,flashings,ventilation etc,and dependent on location a metal roof may be a far better choice for you
I had to tape the vertical seams of the OSB overlay on a skip sheathing job once. The OSB was specified by the GC, so that was not my choice.
We did the roof in December or January and it looked perfectly flat. Th elderly lady HO refused to add additional ventilation.
3 months later, when the spring warmth arrived, the 4 foot vertical seams in many locations were telegraphing through the shingles.
Upon going there to check it out and removing the 3=tabs from the multiple 4 foot areas, we found that the felt paper had ballooned up on these joints. Certainteed advised us after checking it out, that the lack of additional exhaust ventilation was the culprit.
Is this the reason you tape the seams?
If not, what other reasons do you list for that necessity?
actually,I don`t do it,but it is code now in florida,which is where the poster said he lives,also shingles take a beating there from the salt air,that`s why I said he should consider metal
On the one I had the problems with, after we removed the shingles and cut the bumps out of the felt paper, we installed duct tape on the vertical seams and then slap stapled it down also. Then we re-applied new felt and the shingles.
It is now about 6 years later and they are still doing fine.
this is in regards to the seam tape required in florida on plywood seams:

"This was a great card for my 2 children who were having a joint birthday party, but are NOT twins. The only negative thing was that the preprinted envelopes were very difficult to read because the font was so small and light. However, they were all delivered, so I guess the postman could read them!"
"My son would not put down this card when we opened the box! He loved seeing himself pictured with all the bugs. The colors are bright, so I used the sepia effect on the two outer photos. It made my dominant pic stand out more."
"The design on this card is just perfect. Its delicate and simple, yet colorful and girly. It fit perctly with the theme for my little ones birthday. Everyone thought it was beautiful."
"I love being able to customize the products on this site. Whether font, color or placement, its nice to have that option. The quality of the projects I order are always great quality and I love being able to order the products when I have the chance!"
"I got this design with rounded corners and the modified envelops. I uploaded 3 professional photos on the front and candid cell phone pictures on the back. They turned out perfectly and the photo quality is top notch. I did it in glossy finish and I'm glad I did. I should have gotten 30 instead of 40, other than that, I'm very satisfied with my order."

I was watching the cloo channel this afternoon. In the story I was watching, a young woman that lives alone heard a noise in her bathroom in the middle of the night. When she went to investigate, a serial rapist jumped out from behind the shower curtain and abducted her. He had climbed through a tiny window in her bathroom and fell upon entry. He hurt his ribs doing this but this did not prevent him from attacking his victim. Granted, this may have still happened if the woman had a firearm on her person but she may have also have had a better chance of fighting off her attacker than she did by not having weapon on her person.
Be armed whenever you can.

We have been visiting Slovenia for a number of years and finally bought our house with a view to sharing our knowledge and love of Slovenia. The forests and mountains give us great pleasure and we are lucky to have views from our house that Slovenians are envious of.
Colin Hayes purchased this apartment in 2012
It's a little piece of heaven.
Fresh air, peace and tranquility the chance to take time out away from the pressures of modern life. Our local knowledge can be of real value too.
The flat and its location were fantastic. It was very comfortable - a lovely large bedroom, a good size living area, and a well equipped kitchen, plus a lovely terrace from which to sit and admire the stunning views. We were made very welcome and all the advice from our hosts was spot on - they really went out of their way to make sure we got the most from our short time there. Couldn't have been better!
Unterkunft: Die Unterkunft war sehr schön eingerichtet und man fühlte sich sofort wohl.
Vermieter: Sehr freundlichen Menschen, die einem umfangreiche Informationen zu der Gegend, Sehenswürdigkeiten und Kultur geben kann.
Landschaft: Das berühmte Tal Logarskar Dolina ist nicht weit entfernt. Des Weiteren laden Berge zum Wandern ein. Beim Radfahren muss man etwas auf die umliegenden Nebenstraßen ausweichen, da besonders am Wochenende die Fernverkehrsstraße reich frequentiert ist. Radwege als solche gibt es keine.
Fazit: Es war ein sehr erholsamer Urlaub mit vielen Eindrücken.Jeden Tag konnte etwas anderes unternommen werden. Sehr empfehlenswert die Unterkunft und Gegend.
The Upper Savinja Valley is a wide glacial feature with an alpine river of many moods. Local attractions include Mozirska Gaj flower park, the Basilica at Gornji Grad, caves and a restored Roman Necropolis at Šempeter, a Hop and Brewing Musem at Žalec plus fantastic natural attractions such as the Panoramic Drive through the Solčavsko Alpine region, waterfalls, wonderful walking paths and hiking trails, and as much R & R as you can take!

Due to exams, I had not had the time to write my articles. So this week's Power Rankings will not include predictions (they were terrible), with the roundup for week's 4, 5, and 6 coming in the following days (Week's 4 and 5 will be combined).
We're now entering our 6th week of the ESEA-I Season, and with only two weeks to go in the season, Things are only heating up for the final LAN spot. Now, after this week, there will be a two week break from the 19th of December to the 1st of January which co-incides with various holidays. This week, matches are being played on a very new and interesting map in cp_standin_b5, created by scorpiouprising.
Standin is unique map, as it has the distinction of being the only map with all 3 capture points available to be capped at all times. It also introduces ESEA, and probably the rest of the competitive communities around the world with a new map type, Domination. Similar to Domination mode in Call of Duty games, teams must capture all three points to win the round. However, once a point is captured, it does not lock for the team and it is always available to capture (Like KOTH, but with 3 capture points). For teams to be successful on this map, The most important thing is actually understanding how this map works. Teams who play this map like a regular 5CP map or focus on DM over strategies are going to run into a lot of issues. Other things to consider on this map is the abundant flankings areas with the map's multiple entrances and exits to points and spawn, and the extremely close proximty from spawn to B point. This map is the smallest map in rotation, making the gameplay very fast and full of action (Great for Spectators, not so great for players).

Why Does UFC President Dana White Want To Have Surgery?
In the past 11 years, UFC President Dana White has only missed one UFC event. That event was UFC on Fuel TV 3 back on May 15th. In the past White has battled with the flu and food poisoning and not missed an event. So what caused him to miss this one?
Earlier this month White was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. This disease has been defined as "an inner ear disorder that affects balance and hearing." This disorder affects between 50,000-100,000 each year. Symptoms include: drop in hearing, pressure in the ear, ringing in the affected ear, and vertigo. Vertigo can then lead to severe dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
There is no cure for Meniere's Disease, but there are some treatment options, including lifestyle changes, antibiotics and herbal remedies. White wants to take the surgery route though. According to MMAJunkie.com, White says "I want the surgery…They don't want to give me the surgery, but I want the surgery." The story goes on to say that the surgery would cause complete hearing loss in the affected ear, and would require a bit of physical therapy. But that doesn't seem to bother White one bit. He says "They said you go in and start working with a therapist, and in like a month, you can start getting your stuff back together..So I'll do it in two weeks. I don't have a month."

Mystic sighting
On 01/14/2013 at 5 a.m. in heavy fog, a cougar ran across the road 50 feet in front of my car while I was travelling towards Interstate 95 on Allyn Street in Mystic. It crossed the wide road in about 3 large bounds, travelled low to the ground, and had a long tail. I'm guessing …


text: Brookman Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are from vines planted in 1940 on their original rootstock. The unusually dry growing season resulted in even smaller yields than normal, under two tons per acre. All of the vines are dry-farmed and hand pruned. Picking took place over several passes to ensure optimal ripeness of the fruit. Grapes were hand picked in order to allow for whole berry fermentation. This process allows us to better retain the grape's varietal essence and minimize bitter tannin extraction in the wine. The juice is fermented using wild yeast; temperatures were kept 32 degrees Celsius with an extended maceration. All of the pressings are returned to the barrel. No fining or filtration is allowed ensuring the purest expression of the grape and vineyard that will age well and complement the dining experience.Brookman Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in barrels that are hand selected by the winemaker. The French barrels used are 100% new, tight-grained oak from Nadalie. Barrels are seasoned for three years before being toasted to medium char over a cool flame for several hours to minimize blistering. Brookman Cabernet Sauvignon spent 18 months in barrel. The resulting wine is extremely balanced and integrated; when decanted it is ready to consume now or can age for 15 years.

I just need Feature X. How hard can this be to implement?
First off, let us say this: We understand where you're coming from. In fact, when we first got started building FoxyCart our lead developer said, "Yeah, building FoxyCart shouldn't take more than a weekend." He'd built a simple cart system in the past, so he had a better idea than most. Unfortunately, he was off by years. We're still building FoxyCart 2+ years after launching.
We also understand that often a seemingly small fix would be a huge boon to you or your clients. Unfortunately, very few features that seem small actually are.
FoxyCart has thousands and thousands and thousands of lines of code. It sends data to and receives data from multiple payment gateways, 3rd party hosted payment systems, shipping carriers, custom API integrations, as well as the millions of visitors to each and every site using FoxyCart to power their e-commerce. It processes payments now, in the future, and on a recurring basis. It sends emails and encrypted XML constantly.
While something might appear simple on the surface, when taken in the context of a mission-critical web application powering commerce for merchants all over the world even a small change to functionality can have seriously adverse effects.
For example, something as seemingly simple as a free shipping coupon code actually affects functionality throughout the entire cart, and creates potential problems as additional functionality is added.
- Are there limits on the quantity that it applies to? The weight?
- Do the product categories matter? What if a non-free shipping product category is in the cart?
- Does it apply globally or only for specific countries or states (ie. the continental US)?
- Should alternate shipping methods be shown? What if free shipping isn't available at all, should an error display, and if so, at which point (since coupons are entered prior to shipping info)?
That's not to say a coupon for free shipping isn't a good idea. It is. It's just to point out that even a small new piece of functionality has significant code and thought behind it, or you'll end up with a buggy system that feels awkward and doesn't really work. That's not an option for us or our users, as far as we're concerned, so we take the time to do things right.
Even when things are fully thought through, they take time to program, test, test more, and test again. We have a great many requests, and we try to balance the needs of the many with the available time. We also try to group related changes in order to be more efficient, so if we're tackling coupons we'll make more major improvements that have been requested concurrent with the minor improvements. This allows us to focus our efforts, but also makes it easier on our users, as they don't have to constantly change 100 little things with each upgrade. Rather, they can focus on 2 or 3 larger things if they need the new features.
Again, we understand, but please also understand that even a small change can have a large impact on our codebase, hosting infrastructure, support burden, and even liability. We at FoxyCart are here to make your life easier with easily integrated yet powerful e-commerce, so we try to ensure all of our features are part of a complete and sustainable plan.

Marshall finished the season 4-8, 3-5 in Conference USA but may have seen the start of a 2009 quarterback battle. Sophomore Brian Anderson got his first start since last season against New Hampshire, and the sophomore from Louisville fulfilled the promise of his ability against TU while standing in for 11-game starter Mark Cann. Cann, the red-shirt frosh quarterback at MU, had injuries to both shoulders and did not dress as expected.

Anderson passed for 14-of-19 for 177 yards and three touchdowns. Darius Passmore went out with a bang, catching a team-best six passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns, a couple of long scores off the arm of Anderson.
"The seniors did their job tonight," said head coach Mark Snyder. "I'm proud of this team, they have not quit all year. I think the future is bright and we are ready to roll. I thought our tailbacks ran effectively. Brian had a great game."
Darius Passmore beat Tulsa DB Kenny Sims -and managed to keep one foot inbounds- for Passmore's second TD of the night, a 12-yard corner catch. photo by Greg Perry/HI staff
"It was a big-time battle, and we were fortunate to come in here and get a win. It was one of the toughest games we've played (this season)." Tulsa won because Rice, who TU beat, knocked off Houston, who beat Tulsa, in the final game of the season as well for the two Houston, Texas cross-town rivals.
Marshall senior running back Chubb Small had a career-best 69-yard touchdown in his final game at Marshall. Freshman back Terrell Edwards had a career-best 53-yard touchdown as he saw his career start. Sophomore running back Darius Marshall just missed having an eighth 100-yard plus game, rushing 18 times for 94 yards, while Small added 91 yards.

Besides Passmore, MU spread the passes around, something Cann had stuggled with down the stretch with injuries that may have been worse than the youngster let on. Tight end Cody Slate caught three passes for 58 yards while sophomore Courtney Edmonson made his one catch count with a 19-yard touchdown. Slate, a senior next season, finished with 40 receptions in ten games, but did not have a touchdown catch for the first time in six games. Passmore closed his career season with 56 catches for 945 yards and seven receiving touchdowns.
The game was tied 7-7 at the end of the first quarter, then 21-21 at halftime. At the end of the third quarter, the teams were tied 35-35, but Tulsa scored the only fourth quarter points with the winning field goal. "We felt like we had a chance," said Snyder. "That's a pretty good Tulsa team. I was a little disappointed in our defense, because we had a very good game plan. The offense came alive tonight. I didn't think they could come in here and score 38 points on us," said Snyder of a TU team averaging 50 points per game.

The key play of the game was with just over two minutes to play. Marshall had a fourth and one at the 49-yard line. Small tried the middle of the line, but was met by Charles Davis and tackle Wilson Garrison and the rest of the Tulsa defense. MU came up about a foot short and Tulsa ran out the clock for the win, and the West Division title with a 10-2 mark overall, 7-1 in Conference USA. Rice beat Houston to secure the title for TU with the win, and the Hurricane will host East Division champs East Carolina next weekend.
But the "Senior Night" game was about the 14 players in their last game at MU. Senior middle linebacker Maurice Kitchens tied for the lead in tackles with 16 in his final game, forced a fumble, pressured the QB and had a tackle for loss. His 16 stops were only matched by junior outside linebacker Mario Harvey. Senior safeties stepped up in their final game. Aaron Johnson had eight stops in the game, C.J. Spillman seven tackles and one pass broken up while Ian Hoskins added three tackles. Linebacker Phillip Gamble, who played all around the defensive secondary and on special teams in his career, had two tackles, a tackle for loss and one of the four Herd sacks of David Johnson.
Senior linemen Brian Leggett and Matt Altobello blocked for their fellow senior Small, and helped the Herd to a season-high 437 yards of total offense, and allowed only one sack for minus-three yards in a coverage sack. Senior receiver E.J. Wynn has one catch for 17 yards in his last game, while fellow senior wide out Emmanuel Spann held for all five extra-points and fielded three punts on the night. Passmore not only led the team in receptions and yards, he also had two touchdowns.
The other seniors included Cody Tominack, a transfer from WVU who played linebacker and defensive line; Joe Bragg, a fireman back in Morgantown and ready to move on in the world of public safety after playing offensive line, defensive line and tight end; and Matt Parkhurst, the third tight end for the Herd who did the bulk of the run blocking at tight end and H-back last year.
Snyder dedicated the game to those seniors. Equipment manager Rich Worner (whose managers beat the trainers 23-19 last Wednesday in the annual "Turkey Bowl") pulled out his magic again with those metallic kelly green helmets for the final game for 14 seniors, all of whom will graduate this December or May of next year, or previously and are in grad school already. "We did the green helmets for the seniors," said Snyder of wearing the green helmets for the first time since the Houston win. "I want to thank those seniors, they showed us the way. We have a couple of big senior classes coming and they showed them those players who to lead."
Terrel Edwards blew past Tulsa linebacker George Clinkscale during Edwards' 53-yard touchdown run with 1:35 left in the third quarter. The score tied the game at 35-35. photo by Greg Perry/HI staff
To a man, the senior class endorsed the return of Mark Snyder as head coach of the Herd for what would be his fourth-full season. Snyder took the job following spring practice in 2005, just as MU was losing 15 scholarships from probation due to violations during the Bob Pruett years, and all but two of his 14 seniors were recruited by Pruett. While the Herd ends with a loss, it is another three point loss to another division champion in C-USA, just like earlier this year. MU lost to ECU in overtime by three and lost tonight to Tulsa by three. "Our guys played very hard but we came up three points short," said Snyder. "That seems to be our motto; one point here, two points there.
"Last year we said we have to get 10-to-11 points better per game in the off-season to have a chance. It's now down to 2-or-3 points." Marshall suffered three losses this season by three, three and two points. The Herd has to get better on the road, where a win at Southern Miss, 6-6 and headed to a bowl, was the first since year two for Snyder's teams. It is worth noting, however, that Marshall lost to bowl-bound West Virginia, Tulsa, East Carolina and Rice as well as BCS-bound and the Big East champs from Cincinnati. The Herd did knock off bowl teams like Houston and Memphis this season.
"I think we did improve," said Snyder on the season. "The two teams that…will play in the Conference USA championship beat us by three in overtime and three tonight. I don't think any steps taken backwards (this season). Here is just where we are right now." Snyder's staff will fly out Sunday and Monday as they start the recruiting process, already with two early commitments.
The Herd is rumored to be looking at two quarterbacks, one from Fork Union (who was supposed to visit the Herd on Saturday night) and looking at another from the junior college ranks. Nick Owens is the quarterback from FUMA, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound player who is from Westlake, California, and is rated as a three-star player by Scout.com (Herd Insider is affiliated with Scout.com). The quarterback has four offers, from Western Carolina, Marshall, Middle Tennessee State and Houston, and interest from a handful more, including South Florida, Virginia Tech and Cincinnati.

The MFT has been pretty decent in my Focus. There are a few glitches now and then but I know how to work around them. On scale of 1-10 I'd give it an 8 in it's current state. I'd rather have it than not.
The DCT can be both a blessing and a curse. As others have mentioned, it's fine when the car is moving faster than 20-25 MPH but a bit lethargic around town or any type of stop and go traffic. Forget about accelerating quickly from a slow roll, it doesn't respond very well at low speed most of the time. Sport shift mode is the way to go in these situations.
With that said, I really really love this car and still wouldn't trade it for anything else in this class. Maybe another Focus with the 5MT but I am on the fence about that because I'd rather have an auto.
I think Ford will get things ironed out, but it will take more than software updates to correct the low speed issues with the DCT.

My wife is wary of watching anything with guns in it with me. The most recent comment I made was on the size of an explosion from a "bazooka" in a show we were watching. It was absurd and totally overdone. Those are shaped charges, the explosion shouldn't be the size of a football field and 3 stories high. Guns in movies invariably get a comment from me.

Thor was a decent movie and I want to say that X-Men is good but I thought it was a tad too long. I found myself at the end thinking that the movie was starting to get long and would be glad when it's over....usually not a good sign. I think it would be fair to say that the beginning is great, gets slow and drawn out at the end.
Super-8 is definitely a kid's movie. The funny thing about it is that it takes place in the 70's and its the kind of movie that kids would go to see in the 70s. It was a good escape film though and that's what movies are supposed to do...allow you an escape for a couple of hours.
I agree that there are a lot of super hero flicks out this summer but at the same time I do want to see Green Lantern & Captain America. I'm wanting to see if Greenie trades his lantern in for a good tactical light or maybe a 400 lumen Surefire or something like that...and I want to see if CA will trade his 1911 in for a Glock. ;=)
I agree that Jeff Bridges did a very good job in "True Grit".
And, my son took me out to dinner and the saw "Green Lantern" later. I thought it was pretty good! I guess I'm reliving my days as a kid with the DC comics.
Cape Locum Et Fac Vestigium
The last movie I have seen in a theater was "The Fighter", which was greater than expected. Nowadays, it's all about special effects than a good story. That is why I'd rather rent most of the time than watch in a theater. As for "True Grit", I was very disappointed. Jeff Bridges, who played Rooster tried too hard to sound like a hick yet was laughable at best.
I haven't been to see a movie at all this year, I will venture out to see Cowboys and Aliens. For that matter the last movie I bought on DVD or Blu-Ray was Orson Welles in 1949s "The Third Man" on Blu-Ray, awesome film.

Blackhawk Down, Casino Royale, The Dark Knight, The Pacific HBO Series, and Saving Private Ryan are all outstanding on Blu Ray.
Das Boot is being restored and is coming out on Blu Ray in two weeks. I'm hoping that a good job is done on it. If you have not seen the restoration of Hitchcock's North by Northwest on Blu Ray, it is quite outstanding.
We have seen The Green lantern twice now and I can say everyone in my family (seven of us in total) loved it. one of the best Comic movie adaptions I have seen yet. And I was a big Green lantern comic fan when I was a kid.

I used to be a movie going fanatic, but as you pointed out, Hollywoods best days are long gone. It's not just the poor, plotless, special effects laden movies, it's also the pathetic crop of performers they cast. There's no better cure for insomnia than watching Lindsey Lohan or Megan Fox monotone their way through a semi-coherent script.
Hollywood has traded Richard Burton and Humphrey Bogart for expressionless mumblers like Nicholas Cage and Hayden Panettiere. It's all fluff and little substance. Thank God for Netflix where you can see great classics. I just saw "Pushover" with Fred MacMurray...AWESOME!!!

Edge of Darkness
Film is a passion; I've seen 802 since 6/87. I've seen films in 17 different theatres in 6 different states and even have a spreadsheet listing individual comments, players, individual rating (1-5 stars), director, film studio, etc. You can get all that minutia and more on the internet datebase, but when I started my film log, the net (as we now know it) didn't exist. Our local Regal closed last Dec and I've gone through withdrawl now for six months. The closest multiplex is an hour away from me.
I've contemplated getting Netflix, upgrading my surround sound system and TV, but then I'd NEVER leave my apartment.
I'm probably an old-school minority in thinking that you can't beat the big screen, THX digital surround sound experience that only a theatre can provide.
My average 20+ movies viewed at the theatre annually has dropped down to 2 so far this year: THE KING'S SPEECH and THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU.
Films lack originality and unfortunately, special effects take priority over a good script and acting. Not to bash comic book movies, but not a fan. Sequels, remakes, and rehashed drivel at cinemas is only gonna get worse. Don't get me started with 3-D; it was a fad in the 50's when it came out and also briefly in the 80's, and I can't stand it. I hope it fades.
I love the original 1990 TOTAL RECALL and it still (to me) stands up well after 20+ years - why update it? Admittedly, I'd probably go see it if the trailiers look good.
Sorry for the long, rant!

Washington, September 11 (ANI): A team of archaeologists and paleobiologists has discovered flax fibers that are more than 34,000 years old, making them the oldest fibers known to have been used by humans.
The fibers were discovered during systematic excavations in a cave in the Republic of Georgia.
The flax, which would have been collected from the wild and not farmed, could have been used to make linen and thread, according to the researchers.
The cloth and thread would then have been used to fashion garments for warmth, sew leather pieces, make cloths, or tie together packs that might have aided the mobility of our ancient ancestors from one camp to another.
"This was a critical invention for early humans. They might have used this fiber to create parts of clothing, ropes, or baskets-for items that were mainly used for domestic activities," said Ofer Bar-Yosef of the Harvard University, who jointly led the research with George Grant MacCurdy and Janet G. B. MacCurdy.
"We know that this is wild flax that grew in the vicinity of the cave and was exploited intensively or extensively by modern humans," he added.
The items created with these fibers increased early humans chances of survival and mobility in the harsh conditions of this hilly region.
The flax fibers could have been used to sew hides together for clothing and shoes, to create the warmth necessary to endure cold weather.
They might have also been used to make packs for carrying essentials, which would have increased and eased mobility, offering a great advantage to a hunter-gatherer society.
Some of the fibers were twisted, indicating they were used to make ropes or strings. Others had been dyed.
Early humans used the plants in the area to color the fabric or threads made from the flax.
Today, these fibers are not visible to the eye, because the garments and items sewed together with the flax have long ago disintegrated.
Bar-Yosef, Eliso Kvavadze of the Institute of Paleobiology, and colleagues, discovered the fibers by examining samples of clay retrieved from different layers of the cave under a microscope.
Bar-Yosef and his team used radiocarbon dating to date the layers of the cave as they dug the site, revealing the age of the clay samples in which the fibers were found.
Flax fibers were also found in the layers that dated to about 21,000 and 13,000 years ago. (ANI)

The findings of the CAG report on the Issue of Licences and Allocation of 2G Spectrum by the Department of Telecommunications led to the resignation of A Raja as the Union Telecom Minister.
Meanwhile, it is expected that the both Houses will see fresh ruckus by Opposition parties demanding Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe to the 2G spectrum scam.
Earlier, the CAG report, which leaked to the media, showed that A Raja served 'first come first policy' in allocating the spectrum. Also, the allocation of 2G spectrum at under-valued prices caused a loss to the tune of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to the national exchequer.

Bequest of Stephen Carlton Clark, B.A. 1903
Although nine-year-old Jean Bellows's determined expression suggests otherwise, she fondly remembered posing for her father, George Bellows, on a hot July day at the family's summer home in Woodstock, New York. Bellows amused her by playing Victrola records and reading Black Beauty. "Posing for 'Lady Jean' was quite easy," she later wrote. "It took him only five days to complete. When I became weary of standing, he would let me sit, and he paid me regular model's wages for my time." As the study for the work (1999.80.1) shows, Bellows based the composition on the newly popular theory of Dynamic Symmetry, an intricate geometrical system of interlocking angles and planes, derived from an ancient theory of design that was attracting a number of avant-garde American artists and architects.

Jack London (January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916), was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a huge financial success from writing.The Scarlet Plague was written by Jack London and originally published in London Magazine in 1912. It was re-released in February of 2007 by Echo Library. The story takes place in 2072, sixty years after the scarlet plague has depopulated the planet. James Howard Smith is one of the few people left alive in the San Francisco area, and as he realizes his time grows short, he tries to impart the value of knowledge and wisdom to his grandsons.American society at the time of the plague has become severely stratified and there is a large hereditary underclass of servants and "nurses"; and the politcal system has been replaced by a formalized oligarchy. Commercial airship lines exist, as do some airships privately owned by the very rich.

What is in this article?:
- Making the Business Case for Smart Manufacturing
- Quantifying the Benefits
There are opportunities to improve efficiencies across labor, materials and energy through the application of smart manufacturing principles.
In terms of hype noise levels in technology today, nothing may be more cacophonous than the Internet of Things (IoT). As you are probably already well aware, technology vendors want to connect everything in your personal and professional lives to make things run better. The investment signal in this technology hype noise is in the use cases. For manufacturing, this revolves around the concept of smart manufacturing (or Industry 4.0 if you are based in Europe).
The concepts aren't entirely new to the industry (e.g., machine-to-machine), but certainly recent technology advances allow us to bring together data capture, connectivity, remote control and, most importantly, analytics to deliver on the promise of cyber-physical manufacturing sooner than you might think. Certainly, our inquiry activity with research clients has been robust on this topic.
As a result of these ongoing industry conversations about smart manufacturing, we recently published a PlanScape report on the subject. This methodology frames the why, what, how and who of an investment initiative. The objective is to give our research clients a jump start on creating an investment plan. In this article, we look at the why of investing in smart manufacturing.
Executives accept the inevitability of a cyber-physical manufacturing future and understand intuitively the competitive value of having responsive operational capabilities, but building the business case from the ground up can be tricky. In order to assist clients in the process, IDC Manufacturing Insights encourages companies to begin with the construct of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Those familiar with the metric know it includes considerations for efficiency, utilization and yield.
Efficiency: Beating the Plan
Efficiency is a measure of throughput usually expressed as actual versus expected (or standard). So if the expected throughput of a machine is 10 units per hour and it produces 11, it is considered 110% efficient. Efficiency is obviously important because if a machine can produce more, there are more products to sell without adding new capacity. However, for the purpose of investing in smart manufacturing, efficiency should be thought of in several dimensions beyond just the machine efficiency:
- Labor efficiency—factory personnel are able to manage more machines.
- Material efficiency—optimizing set ups and production sequences so less material is sacrificed to scrap.
- Energy efficiency—optimizing the consumption of energy in the process which may include running the equipment slower.
Collectively, there are opportunities to improve efficiencies across all of these dimensions through the application of smart manufacturing principles.
Utilization: Improving Availability
An efficient machine is useless if it is broken. Manufacturers have often calculated productivity as efficiency multiplied by utilization. Utilization is simply a measure of the cumulative time of operation divided by the total elapsed time. So if our example machine is available 99% of the time, then the productivity is 108.9% (110% multiplied by 99%).
Availability comes down to keeping the equipment running. Asset intelligence—understanding the operating condition, predicting failure, interdicting to minimize disruption—is the common categorization and is integrated to a company's enterprise asset management (EAM) system. There are varying levels of asset management (as shown in Table 1).
Asset management can extend beyond just the operating equipment to include tools, tooling, jigs, fixtures and inspection equipment—all of which need to be available and well maintained. This domain is also a common starting point for many companies to test how to deploy and use smart manufacturing-related technologies as it is less invasive to the production process and can produce quick paybacks.
Quality: Real Time Measurement
The last component of effectiveness is reliability. There has been a lot of progress in transitioning measurement tools and equipment—calipers for mechanical, environmental test chambers for electronics, etc.—to provide digital recording. And the information is getting more complex with visual inspection systems sending calibrated image files for example. Smart manufacturing initiatives will incorporate and integrate those digital readings and other outputs into a more disciplined root cause analysis and corrective action capability.
Improving reliability isn't just about integrating the data from inspection equipment. One of the capabilities manufacturing companies describe is an ability to support design for experiments (DFE). The concept is that if plant management believes they may have a problem, they can turn on specific pieces of data acquisition and test the results against upper and lower limits, better identifying a set of conditions that may be causing a quality problem. DFE has always been part of the Six Sigma methodologies, but has been a very manual proposition to execute. Smart manufacturing approaches will assist in automating this critical quality function.
Of course, DFE can also extend beyond just testing for quality parameters. Experiments related to asset operation would be available, but perhaps the most interesting could be A/B testing to improve throughput (efficiency). As an example, consider a plant that has two production lines that are equipped in a similar fashion. Operations management wants to decide the best way to calibrate and operate those lines to produce product X. One line uses a set of parameters (e.g., line speed, staffing, material quality)—call that test A—and the other uses a different set (test B), by comparing the results for equipment, material, labor and energy efficiency; the company can choose the best set up.

The invite-only field trial is over, but Google will continue making new features and updates
Since Google+'s
on June 28, it has been in an invite-only field trial where invited users could try it out and make suggestions along the way. After nearly 90 days in field trial mode, Google is opening its social network up to everyone, and has made a total of 100 updates to enhance the experience.
While 91 of these updates have been made throughout the months, Google is releasing nine new features today that totals it up to 100 according to
The Official Google Blog
Most of the new features are Hangouts-related. Hangouts lets users chat via live video, and it has been used for cooking classes, game shows, and just catching up with friends/family. Google wants to boost the Hangouts experience with a few new features, such as Hangouts on your phone, Hangouts On Air, Named Hangouts, Hangouts APIs and Hangouts with Extras like screensharing, Sketchpad, and Google Docs.
Hangouts on your phone is exactly what the title suggests -- video Hangouts on your mobile device. It allows people to video chat while on-the-go, and they can do so by simply finding an active Hangout in the Stream, and tapping "join." Users must have Android 2.3 or greater with front-facing cameras, and starting today, the app is available on the Android Market. According to Google, iOS support is on the way soon.
Hangouts On Air is a public broadcast feature that allows users to speak to
a large audience
or be the spectator. To do this, just start a normal hangout, and the option to broadcast and record your session will become available. Select this option, and once you're "On Air," up to nine other people can join the broadcast. Google is currently limiting the number of broadcasters, but any Google+ member can tune in as spectators. On Wednesday, September 21, Google+ will host its very first On Air Hangout with American musician will.i.am.
Hangouts with Extras consists of screensharing, which allows users to show off what's on their screen such as vacation photos or a
high score
; Sketchpad allows users to doodle or draw; Google Docs gives users the option to write or plan something with others, and Named Hangouts is a Hangout that is associated with a certain topic like music or sports.
Hangouts API allows developers to build new kinds of apps and games for Google+ along with other creative individuals.
In addition to the various Hangouts-related features, Google+ now also features a search option, which will return relevant people and posts as well as info from the Web. For instance, a Google+ member who is interested in photography can search "photography" and
find people
who are also into that topic as well as a myriad of photos.
The final new feature for today is opening Google+ up to everyone outside of the invite-only field trial. While Google+ is not completely finished with its updates and new features, it wants to open the social network for everyone to try out.

I've bounced around a lot with monthly goal setting this year. I've tried to follow the lead of people who inspire me (like Lee and Elise), and set four firm goals. Sometimes, that creates focus. Sometimes, it just adds to the noise, and results in rushing back to the list at the last minute to see if I can accomplish everything in the last day or two of the month. Sometimes, it just feels uninspiring - simply 4 more things on my to-do list.
So. Back to practicing, I go. The practices that I mentioned at the beginning of the year still hold true - so you'll see some redundancy in the list below.
1. a self-care practice - I'm already in love with Bella's 31 Days in July. It's familiar in some ways, and stretching my comfort zone in others.
2. a photography practice - even though my iPhone is constantly with me, there are still days that I don't take a single photo. Wanting to change that. Photos help me see my life from a different perspective.
3. a meditation practice - I have been super consistent about meditation this year, and I will continue to practice in July.
4. a movement practice - I've gotten off track thanks to travel & work & life. Wanting to incorporate more movement, in many forms - walking, running, biking, yoga. I haven't been to barre in a while (I miss you, Hermine!), but know that I will return at some point.
5. a vision boarding practice - in the workshops that I facilitate for co-workers, we coach a lot of visioning - what do they want the business to look like? What does success look like? In July, I'm going to devote some time to applying those principles to my own life - through the vision board in my office, my Pinterest boards, and my vision book.
6. a writing practice - I'm following the ALM Writes prompts for July (using 750words).
7. a reading practice - I finished off 4 books from my summer reading list in June...11 to go!
What are you practicing this month?

"Angelic Art: Sky Stickers were perfect for my daughters baby shower. The art work & quality of the product was exceptional. Even though this design was for a baptism, Tiny Prints custom printed these stickers for me. I opted for the designers to review my product prior to shipment and they responded quickly, efficiently, and we're very friendly. I will continue to use and recommend Tiny Prints for all my future events."
"I wanted stickers to seal Valentine's treat bags for class - This design is perfect for boys, as most are quite girly (not that there's anything wrong with that!)."
"Matching tags I got with my sons invitations. Was surprised as I was expecting something bigger but a in actual fact nice and small. These a stickers and il be using them on the kids party/loot bags."
"These are very classic and chic and will look nice on stationery or packages. They are a bit smaller than I expected but the dimensions are given so it was just my perception that was off there. They are nice quality, not too thick, but that's to be expected with the great price."

Narita Chiba Pref.
A local taxi firm has started offering sightseeing tours to sake breweries and other spots around Narita International Airport, expecting demand from foreign tourists and passengers on stopovers.
The area around the airport is dotted with numerous old cities and sake breweries dating back to the Edo Period, which lasted from 1603 to 1868.
The cab firm is offering four different tours that last between four and six hours and cost from ¥10,000 to ¥20,000.
The airport will place ads for the tours in its lounges with backing from local governments and the central government, which are working to tap transitory travelers.
"We hope stopover passengers and visitors staying around the airport will enjoy local sake tours," an official at the taxi company said.
