Bogota (AFP) Jan 13, 2013
Colombia's government wants to pick up the pace of its peace negotiations with Marxist FARC rebels, the chief government negotiator said Sunday ahead of the continuation of talks in Cuba.
"We really need to get things moving. I want to make that known to people in general, as well as to the FARC," former vice president Humberto de la Calle told reporters ahead of his departure for Havana.
De la Calle and other negotiators for the government of President Juan Manuel Santos were set to leave for the Cuban capital later in the day for Monday's resumption of talks, which were put on hold over Christmas and New Year's.
"We do hold to the premise that this is a process that cannot be prolonged indefinitely," De la Calle said.
"While we do not have exact time limits for each point, we are aware that we have to move ahead swiftly."
The parties are under pressure to produce results in the coming months to end their half-century-old conflict, with Santos saying that negotiations must conclude by November.
The longtime rivals launched the talks in October, their fourth attempt in three decades to close a battle that has left 600,000 people dead, 15,000 missing and four million displaced since 1964.
Though the guerrilla group has declared a unilateral ceasefire until January 20, the government has continued its offensive against the rebels, accusing them of failing to respect their own truce by planting landmines and attacking civilians and soldiers.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) took up arms in 1964 to protest against the concentration of land ownership in the country, but a string of military defeats has cut its ranks to about 8,000 -- less than half of what it was in the late 1990s.
The key issue in the dispute, rural development, will be on the agenda when talks resume.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was considered a key facilitator in the process, but the ailing leftist leader has been out of public sight since undergoing a fourth round of cancer surgery in Havana on December 11.

When you blend the cauliflower, are you trying to blend it smooth? because I needed *one and a half* cups water to get it to blend.

Hi Anonymous-
You want the cauliflower mixture to be as thick as possible. The cauliflower won't move much in the blender without at least 1/2 cup of water, so we recommend trying that first. If it still won't budge, add 1/4 cup more until it starts to blend smoothly.
Thanks for your question-

Overall, I am happy with the muffler. As my daily driver and primary family vehicle used for traveling, I didn't want anything too loud. This muffler is a little louder than what I expected, comparing to a 50 series installed on same truck. I removed the 50 series last year and had to go back with the factory muffler due to a drone when pulling my trailer or boat. Using Flowmaster's sound chart, I thought the 70 series would be only choice as it looked to be the quietest muffler Flowmaster makes

Technology Companies Fill Need for Performance and Scalability Measurement; Announce First-Ever Benchmark at ILTA Conference
BOXBOROUGH, MA, August 19, 2010 — Digital Reef (www.digitalreefinc.com), a leading software provider of the first massively scalable and open solutions for eDiscovery and digital information governance, today announced the industry's first Open eDiscovery Software Performance Benchmark (SPB). The Open SPB was established to fill a void in the industry of a true standard of measurement of eDiscovery performance. Digital Reef partnered with BlueArc Corporation, a leading provider of high performance network storage systems, to create the benchmark which measures specific eDiscovery technology attributes based on the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). Today, law firms and in-house corporate legal teams are faced with more and more litigation; at the same time, they are presented with an explosion of digital information to collect, cull, process, analyze, and produce to support eDiscovery. With this new Open eDiscovery Software Performance Benchmark, customers, prospects and vendors now have the ability to benchmark the speed and scalability of eDiscovery in order to evaluate their selections.
Industry expert, Barry Murphy, founder of the eDiscovery Journal states, "Customers want to make apples-to-apples comparisons of eDiscovery solutions in the marketplace. Speed and scale of eDiscovery applications have been particularly thorny because they are both critically important features and yet very difficult to measure. That Digital Reef and BlueArc have partnered to create an open, replicable performance benchmark will be of great value to customers evaluating enterprise-grade solutions."
Many legal firms, service providers and in-house counsel are under increased pressure to process more information while also reducing eDiscovery timeframes and cost. Therefore Digital Reef embarked on the SPB in order to raise awareness about the importance of speed and scalability and allow end-users to meet these increasing demands.
"BlueArc's approach to scalability, with Digital Reef's approach to eDiscovery software, delivers the next generation of eDiscovery infrastructure. BlueArc helps to remove I/O bottlenecks with its industry-leading, high performance storage," added Jeff Greenwald, senior solutions manager for eDiscovery, BlueArc.
The SPB 1 benchmark performance testing uses three different data profiles to represent an eDiscovery case matter, a representative complex matter, and a test to measure the creation of an enterprise file map to support early data assessments.
The Open SPB 1 Processing Tests for eDiscovery case matter and a representative complex matter are based on the following standard infrastructure configurations:
- Dell 2.6-3Ghz, 16GB Servers
- 1 Gigabit Ethernet Network
- Standard Linux middleware and operating system
- BlueArc network storage systems
- The actual number of servers is flexible based on available core and memory. The Digital Reef dynamic software architecture has the capability to utilize any number of core/memory configurations.
An additional processing test for measuring the creation of an enterprise file map to support early data assessments was based on standard Dell rack mount servers and solid state storage. All SPB I Processing Test results for the latest release (3.1) of the Digital Reef eDiscovery Solution span from 7TB to 273TB per day. All the data profiles are available to customers and partners to support running the SPB 1 on Digital Reef and other eDiscovery products. In the future, SPB II will add results for Analysis and Production Tests.

"This is a significant achievement in eDiscovery that benefits both our customers and partners. With an open benchmark, customers now have a way to measure overall scalability and performance in the context of the EDRM. Clearly, results show that Digital Reef can handle the largest of processing demands and continue to dynamically expand to handle future demands," said David P. Butler, vice president of marketing, Digital Reef, Inc.
Digital Reef's eDiscovery Solution, based on the Virtual Governance Warehouse v 3.1 platform, is the only solution on the market that contains real-time, dynamic software scaling and resource management on industry standard servers. Unlike appliance-based solutions where physical boxes need to be "daisy-chained" together to expand, the Digital Reef platform is software-based and performance is dynamically increased by activating additional processor cores in single or multi-servers on-the-fly. Customers have complete control over managing performance based on the processing and analysis demands.
For more details about the Open eDiscovery Software Performance Benchmark, including how to receive a copy of the data sets, a white paper authored by eDiscovery Journal is available at: http://www.digitalreefinc.com/go/performance and on Blue Arc's site. Given its open nature, customers and partners can use the same configuration and data profiles to evaluate and optimize their eDiscovery solutions. Digital Reef will also be showcasing SB1 and inviting discussion at this year's ILTA conference in Las Vegas, NV from August 22-26 at booth # 910.

Hi Betty,
Thanks for your interesting response.
We held a McDonald family reunion in 1989 at the old Kerr's farm boarding
house property with more than 100 direct descendants of the original
settlers attending from across Canada. Henry McDonald and his wife Esther
McCormick who came from Ireland about 1823-27. Esther was born and raised a
city girl in Dublin. This was all written up with photos in THE WATCHMAN, a
town of Lachute weekly newspaper, October 16th, 1989. my dad, William John
Henry McDonald, was a great grandson of the original settlers, Henry and
Kerr's farm was on the original grant to a James Kerr -lot 9a & 9b Conc VI
with extensive frontage on Lac Hugh to the north.
I also have another John Kerr settler on lot 10a Conc IV.
And I see your ancestors, Patrick Kerr lot- 11b, and William Henderson lot -
8a, both on Concession II.
I wonder if you happen to know the names of ships at that time, or any
passenger lists from Ireland in the 1820-1830 window?
Best regards,

Hi Keith,
The KERR / HENDERSON family group which arrived in "the former Township of
Gore" in 1823 -- are my ancestors ! Patrick and Elizabeth (KERR?) KERR
and William and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON through their children born there in
There is a List for "the former Township of Gore" which has existed for
maybe 4 years, and there is a lot of information in the archives of the
List. The area is now where Lakefield and Lachute are now.
And, there is information on them in the archives of the Quebec List, as
many of them moved over to Compton County or other areas in Quebec.
An FYI is that last week I was approved to start up another new List. I
thought originally should be for Argenteuil County, but then I found out
many of the counties north of the St. Lawrence River are grouped into
municipalities. A little investigating showed that that area is part of
the Laurentian Mountain range, so I thought that should be a title for a new
List. But, then I found out there is a Message Board, called Laurentides.
So, I thought a new List should have the same title.
I haven't had time to set up the new List, yet, but people should be able to
subscribe to it. I can provide the information page .. later !
There is a web site providing a data basae for the KERR / HENDERSON family
group and their descendants. The URL for it is in the archives of the
above Lists. I must go out this morning (need to BUNDLE UP first), so
I'll have to offer more details later.
By the way, most researchers believe these KERR / HENDERSON's came from
County Sligo, Ireland. Probably in the northern part of the County,
possibly in the Calry Parish.
Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)
(The other new List I started up last February is:
(And, I might take over the GAVIN surname List; unless someone else wants
to do it.)
(My husband's ancestors.)

Points of View on Lighting Fixtures
There are two opposite point of views on the role of lighting fixtures in home design exists. The first point is tightly connected with prioritizing a functional element in design and architecture. Followers of this point of view are sure that lighting fixtures have to be purely practical, barely visible, and not decorative. They believe that light is beautiful by itself and it is just the matter of precise placement of lighting fixtures with regards to layout and function of the space.
The second point of view is absolutely opposite. Disciples of the second point of view agree that light is beautiful by its nature, but this doesn't mean that you can't add to it's magical glow. Moreover, there are thousands of ways to enhance lighting, known by artisans and designers.
If you share the second point of view our extensive collection of lighting fixtures will definitely grab your attention. The past few years have proved to be a designers and decorators dream as lighting fixtures have become more decorative. From nostalgic reproductions to architecturally inspired designs, there are models of lighting fixtures to suit any look in the form of table and floor lamps, wall sconces, chandeliers, ceiling lighting fixtures, fixtures for indirect lighting, and novelty type. We offer a wide selection of lighting fixtures to catch everyone's imagination. To create a sophisticated look you should combine more than one type of lighting fixtures. Avoid matched pairs of lighting fixtures, such as identical table lamps at either side of the sofa. Try to coordinate your lighting fixtures, not match them. For more interest select your lighting fixtures in different, but coordinated finishes. For example, table lamps in antique brass finish can be complimented in the same room with chandelier or wall sconces finished in antiqued gold leaf.
Moving far beyond the purely practical, by using our lighting fixtures imaginatively you can create dynamic visual statements, enhance mood and atmosphere, alter color and emphasize texture. When balanced with shadow, lighting adds subtlety and excitement, tranquility and mystery.
post your comments
I absolutely love decorating with lighting. I think it is the best way to introduce different type of mood into the space. I love highlighting certain elements- like having pictures hung all along the wall and the lights highlighting each one of them. I love the different effects each different type of light can bring… It is by far the most favorite part of the decorating process.
I think the most perfect fixture to capture the natural beauty and the natural essence of light. With the hurricane lamps, it is almost like someone captured the light in a glass case… there could be nothing better than that. I have them all over my house… it creates the perfect atmosphere.
I actually just got an amazing chandelier. It completely changed my whole room! It brightened not only because of all the crystals that reflected the light in the most beautiful way, but also just how the presence of such a large focal point really opens up the place.
I love all the lighting on your website. I purchased 2 wall sconces and 2 table lamps from y'all and just love them. They are great quality, and give a great glow to both the rooms. I gives a very elegent apeal to any room. Thanks Again!
I love the sleek and slender lines in lighting fixtures. I think that their main purpose is to light… any architectural aspect that the light has should not take away from the overall look of the room. As beautiful as chandeliers are, I see them as sculptures that belong in a museum and not my home.
I was just browsing online for a new lamp that is not like anything I can normally find in a store, and I came across this site. They are so incredibly beautiful. If I had room in my house, I would buy at least one of almost everything!
I am fighting with my husband all of the time. If I would ever give up all we would ever have in our home is recessed lighting. Don't take me wrong, I have nothing against recessed lighting, but in moderation. You use recessed lighting because it is functional and provides great illumination, but how about character? It doesn't have any! I think there is nothing wrong with having lighting that still adds a character to the space. If all lighting would be only functional, it would be a very sad and boring thing. You walk into the house-its nice and light- good, but what can you tell about the owner? Are they fun people? are they travelers? are they conservative? I think lighting is more about expression than function. Even contemporary lighting can be decorative as well as functional. You can really use lighting to express yourself in your home. So I think my battle with my husband will never end. I am very happy that I come out victorious most of the time ^_^. I hope that there is more people that think like me than people that think like my husband.
I totally agree, my husband never wants to spend the extra money on lamps and whatnot. I don't care what he says, I need to have them because they are so beautiful..
I just discovered the palm tree lamp. I love it! It will go perfectly with my carribbean island themed room. Excellent options of lighting fixtures!
If you like the lamp, you should most definitely think about using some of those decorative knobs. I think they could bring any theme together!
Matching the antique gold with antique brass is a
powerful combination–but addding a third variable, copper, adds another whole dimension and look!
I never even thought of mixing different metals or different metal finishes. I always thought that it was taboo… an interesting idea though!
The seashell wall sconces match my bathroom perfectly, and cast such a wonderful luminous glow (perfect for while soaking in the tub!). I love them!
Lighting is so important to me. I like to read a lot, while my husband watches espn. We just got a new tv that he tends to watch in the dark, just to enhance it more I guess. But anyway, I love the lamps that we just bought for our new living room. They are absolutely gorgeous. They add a touch of elegance and they are truly fantastic.
I think lighting is truly important. That faint little glow or that indirect lighting makes a difference. I like to create a lovely ambiance in my home. It's just so nice and it can be romantic too
I completely agree with Lois. I love indirect lighting. I hate it when lights are right in my face. A nice glow is so much nicer.
I bought one of the chandeliers for my house and every person who comes to visit comments on how it is such a nice accent to our foyer. They can't believe that they are handcrafted in Italy. It adds a wonderful quality to our home.
I love the sconces that are available. They are so nicely made, I can;t believe they're handcrafted in Italy! Sconce lighting is a lot better (at least in my opinion) than regular old boring overhead lighting.
Yeah Jamie, I agree. I love the look of the light from sconces. Its very indirect and gives such a soothing light. I bought 2 sconces from InvitingHome for my wifes birthday and they are great. She was so suprised that I had such good taste lol
I just ordered some lamps for my desk at work… I love them and can't wait to get them! They will make my office look so sophisticated!
I am an interior designer and I absolutely love lighting. Whether it be natural light from wonderfully large windows, or the glow from sconces and lamps around the room. I think the lighting really adds a certain character and mood to the room, which can be perfectly achieved easily by just seeing what kind of feel you want your room to have. I personally love the light, so I have a lot of lighting fixtures around the room, as well as lots of windows for the daytime. It is really something to think about when trying to redo or spruce up the home.
Nice site, thanks for information!
I have this thing for lamps. It's weird. I just love looking at all of the interesting and unique lamps that are out there and I will sometimes buy them as gifts. Now I have come across your website and it is great! SO many unique lamps! I love it!
I am a lamp lover as well, although probably not as much as Kacy. lol. Lamps really do add a really nice touch to the room – and so do sconces, chandeliers – well.. all lighting I guess! It's like adding the cherry on top of an awesome banana split.
Wow unique, I'm not sure if I should say it's a unique name or not. Sorry. Bad Joke. lol. But seriously. I too love lamps. I like adding a glow to the room without the harsh overhead lighting. It makes the room so cosy.
I think I am one of those people in the second group. I love natural light, but I also love a soft glow of a nice lamp. I'm a reader, so i like to curl up in my big comfy chair and read by a really nice floor lamp that I actually purchased from this website.
I really like the lamps that are available on this website. I just bought a couple for my office and they're working out great.
I can't believe all of these lighting fixtures are handcrafted. They're so ornate and beautiful. It makes me appreciate them even more knowing how much work has gone into them.
Yeah, I got one of the desk lamps for my office too. I am so glad that I got it. It really helps out in the office, and it's such a nice lamp that it adds to my decor as well. My colleagues are jealous and I refuse to tell them where I got it (I can't have them copying me!)
I absolutely love the lamps available on this website. They are so beautiful. I can't believe they're handcrafted either! It makes them that much more special.
I just bought the most fantastic chandelier I think I have ever seen. Christmas dinner this year is really going to be magical. I can't wait to see the looks on the faces of my wife's family. Impressing them is as easy as making a snowman in July in the Sahara desert, but we'll see how it goes…
LOL. David, that is awesome. I know that my in-laws are a pain in the butt too. But at the same time, you can't help but love them and get a kick out of them. Well, kind of. Depends on the family I guess. We bought a chandelier last year and it really makes the dining room. I'm glad we decided to get one.
Michael, you are a hoot! You just need to be careful though, what if your in-laws look at this blogggg hahaha.. that would be funny.. Anyways, I just needed to add that I just received my chandelier, and its going to be installed today!!! im so excited, it is going to be beautiful!
I'm a contractor and the couple who I am working for ordered a candelier from this place. I have to say I was really impressed. It was beautiful and it came pretty quickly. Good choice.
Monica – I can see your point. However, I'm pretty sure my in-laws don't even know how to use the internet, much less a computer. They're a little inept when it comes to electronics. Besides, there is no way that they would even know that I am writing this. Not unless you tell them!
Lighting is pretty important, no matter where you are. Whether it be the office, or the home. And there's nothing to set the mood in a room like lighting. I have recently bought one of the desk lamps for my office at work.. now I may need to get one for the office at home, that is how much I like it. It casts a great light and uses less energy than the overhead light. It's great.
I am a huge fan of lamps. Overhead lighting can be so boring. But a lamp or a sconce could be a decorative piece of artwork! It can really be that final touch to a room.
I have been spending a lot of time online looking at lighting for a school project that I have been working on. I love looking at different types of lighting that is available because it seems that there is always something for everyone. I also have been having to look at other home products like decorative hardware and other things to find unique items for one of my projects.
Home lighting and other home products are very easy to find, but you want to make sure in these times that you get a good price and a good product. Saving money on something is not a great deal if it doesn't last that long. In my online searching I found Inviting Home that has some great home products and good prices on these products. I love the lamps they have, but because of the holiday season I have also been drawn to the candle sticks and other candle lamps. Nothing says the holidays like candles to me.
Another form of lighting that I love and that this website shows very well is the indirect lighting under crown molding. If your looking to make a statement in your home, you should really check out the pictures they provide on this site. It's amazing how you can take a simple space and make it so dramatic with some simple lighting. The best part is that most of this type of lighting uses LED lights so they hardly use any power at all. In fact my home has LED lights for night lights and when we lost power they still worked! How is that for energy efficiency?
Has anyone of you guys thought about changing the interior design of your home and make it look more exciting and fresh in the eye? I love interior design, as a matter of fact I designed our own apartment and every time we have visitors I always get nice compliments from them. It's always overwhelming when someone will appreciate your work. Next year I wanted to change the atmosphere in our living room and I need nice furniture, curtains and some home lighting to make my room look bright like professionally done. InvitingHome.com will be my partner in making my room looks new. They have enormous beautiful products like; architectural, wood cravings, decorative hardware, lighting and furnishing that can beautify ones home. Not only that they will also aid their clients by giving information from their professional designers before making any purchasing decision. What I love about their website is that they're posting their clients success in decoration thru some pictures which I think it's so inspiring. I really enjoyed browsing their website and reading at their interior decorating tips.
Yes, this website is great. They have almost everything that you could be looking for while remodeling a space. I especially was taken back by the lamps that are available. The crystal lamps were pretty impressive, as were the sconces. There are a lot of nice products featured here.
I have been searching and searching for the right lamp for our living room. I feel in love with the crystal lamps immediately. They are so elegant and so lovely, I can't resist them. I am so pleased to have finally found a lamp that is precisely what I have been looking for.
Oh I know! The crystal lamps are absolutely beautiful. I bet they will add a certain touch of eligance and style to any room they are added to. I should probably look into them myself. Live life to the fullest and decorate the rest! That's what I like to say!
A room can look dull and can be simply a black hole without home lighting fixtures. For obvious reasons that Home lighting is what allows you and your guests to be able to see the beauty of your room.
These home lighting fixtures improve a person's living and harmonize a sense of fashion. Take the indoor lighting fixtures for instance. With the correct choice of lighting.. a great combination of quality, modernism, and ornamental aspects along with permanence
I love nature and therefore I love natural light. I guess you could say I would be considered someone who would be in the second catagory.. since I also love to use lighting for decorating. Because using lighting really CAN be used as a decoration. Look at indirect lighting for example. Indirect lighting can cast a beautiful glow without creating an ugly glare. And I love the lamp that is featured for the article. Flowers! And it is so beautifully crafted! I am very impressed with this website.
i like this lamp i like a lot of the lamps on this web site i think they would look nice in my moms house i think i will buy it for her birthday
Lighting a room seems easy, but it isn't. Especially if you want to set moods with lighting, or if you want to decorate with lighting. I think lighting is so important, and finding the perfect lamp to compliment a room can be a daunting task. Luckily there are so many choices out there! I found some of my favorites from this very website and I couldn't be more pleased with my selection.
Hello, I was glancing through your wall sconces, and I absolutley love the palm leaf sconce! In a month or so my husband and I would like to replace our other sconces for something a little more elegant and I think we just found the perfect one!
I live near the beach on the east coast,and we are getting ready for the summer months. Our whole house is decorated with that beachy theme. I was happy to find your sea shell wall sconces and just thought I'd share with everyone that they look even better when fully installed, we painted ours that peachy color to look more realistic and they are absolutely gorgeous. I've also been browsing some more since these look so nice, and discovered your shell carvings and door knockers. I'm glad you offer so many "shore like" products!
I love lamp
I think the lighting fixtures on your website are exquisite! I love the delicacy of some of them. They are absolutely gorgeous, and I am always excited to see when new items come out. I have added a few table lamps to my collection, as well as a gorgeous chandelier, and I could not be happier with the quality and craftsmanship, not to mention the beauty!
I read this article and thought "this is me and my husband!" We have completely different points of view on lighting (and most things around the house)! He's the more practical, straight and narrow kins of thinker and I'm more of the soft touches, mood lighting, creative thinker. Luckily we have learned to compromise after 16 years of marriage!

Turnaround netted a billion dollars
Page Tools
Raising revenues and reducing costs are everyday business challenges - but some smart private-equity investors recently used this approach to grab a $1 billion profit after owning Pacific Brands for less than three years.
The investor group, led by CVC Asia Pacific, turned an initial capital investment of $230 million into $1.25 billion when PacBrands was floated in March.
The first thing they did after buying PacBrands from Pacific Dunlop in 2001 was to immediately increase advertising outlays, which was followed shortly after by improved sales.
While that simple approach to revenues worked a treat, management avoided the equally simple slash-and-burn approach to cost reduction. The size of the group's inventory portfolio and its customer list meant any rapid moves could have unintended adverse consequences.
But action was essential. With 180,000 different items of inventory, supply chains ranging from three to 90 days that reached across the hemispheres and customers who wanted to order stock by the unit, not by the box, there were a lot of factors ready to erode profit margins.
The company set out to simplify both sides of its business and drew up a plan of action called Brave New Way. It was not greeted with universal approval, says project manager Tom Dalianis.
"There was some scepticism initially. After all, we were challenging the practices and processes that people had been using for years."
Eventually, however, the champions of change in Brave New Way came to be accepted.
"In the end, they realised we all needed to change if Pacific Brands was going to improve."
With the group's general manager of the supply chain, Mark Daniel, also in the Brave New Way team, the project addressed everything from how to get stock more efficiently from China to Australia to how to improve customer deliveries.
One of the first things the team did was to kill off some 18,500 items from the product portfolio, reducing the total to a more manageable 160,000 at any one time.
In order to stop the portfolio ballooning again, each division now has a procedure where product lines are evaluated regularly and the lowest-earning 2 per cent scrapped.
"That way, the average profit margin will tend to trend upwards," Dalianis says.
The next big push for Brave New Way was to strip costs out of this supply line, Daniel says, and PacBrands formed collaborative teams with its two largest customers, Coles Myer and Woolworths.
"Clothing is much more fragmented than grocery, where the two big retailers have 60 per cent of the market," Daniel says. "In clothing, up to 50 retailers control 60 per cent of the market, and there are a lot more mom and pop stores."
He says the problem is aggravated by the fact that, while groceries are delivered by the pallet load, clothing orders are a lot more specific because of different sizes and colours.
"For instance, we supply 130 million pairs of underwear to store level and, in virtually all of our customer orders, we have to pick down to a single pair of underpants."
Daniel says close work with major customers has already achieved a breakthrough in one long-running area of congestion, school garments, two thirds of which are bought between December and February.
"We worked with our major customers to help them do their thinking about school garments a bit earlier and get their orders in earlier. Now we are able to pick, pack and deliver to our customers 2 million garments, straight to them direct from China.
"It avoids the strain of all those garments arriving at our distribution centres, reduces stock and eliminates double-handling," Daniel says.
As well as slashing inventory items, the push to reduce complexity has seen working capital reduced by $50 million, Dalianis says.
But there has been another, unexpected success.
Those divisional heads who were reluctant to change their processes and procedures have come around in a big way and are suggesting projects for the Brave New Way team.

I recently tried to convert an old P2 266 MHZ Notebook into a small,
silent & wireless m0n0wall, but I had the following problem with ath(4):
ath0: failed to allocate descriptors: 12
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 12
When I looked around, I found this post on freebsd-stable:
It seems to be the same problem and you can read in the replies, how Sam
Leffler - the man from the MadWIFI-Project - describes the cause of it:
"Memmory is too fragmented to allocate the descriptors in one chunk. I
changed this logic in current to allocate separate blocks for the
tx+rx+beacon descriptors; I'll look at backporting that (though it's too
risky to get into 5.4)."
Further, there is also a patch of Ian Dowse:
"I've always got it to work with the patch below - I seem to remember
calculating that 32k rather than 256k was all that was needed for
the old descriptor arrangement, but you probably know the real
reason for the larger allocation.

Online self-diagnosing is becoming routine for Internet users who are increasingly aware of the vast amount of available online health resources and want to feel in control of their bodies and well-being. Instead of waiting for an appointment, having to discuss their symptoms with a doctor and occasionally pleading for additional diagnostic tests, potential patients now perform extensive searches of the Web and juxtapose different diagnoses with their symptoms until they discover the one that seems to fit best.

The Internet makes health-related information almost universally accessible. It helps educate people about their health and enables them to make informed decisions about their treatment options. There are examples of people diagnosing themselves correctly after years of misdiagnosis. A recent example is the unfortunate story of Bronte Doyne. Bronte was told by her doctors to stop self-diagnosing and ultimately died of a condition she had identified, but a condition that went unnoticed by the physicians treating her until it was too late.

On the other hand, Googling your medical symptoms does not necessarily end in a resolution and can in many cases bring out unnecessary anxieties, transforming former hypochondriacs into present-day cyberchondriacs. Some can even get addicted to constantly searching for health information online, examining themselves and looking for reassurance, as well as demanding tests and screenings that might not be appropriate.

Escalation of innocuous symptoms

Common symptomatology can prompt some users to start exploring rare and serious conditions that came up during their online searches. A large-scale survey completed in 2008 showed that Web search engines have the potential to escalate medical concerns of people who have little or no medical training. The study showed that escalation was influenced by the amount and distribution of medical content viewed by users, the use of alarming terminology on the sites they visited and the person's predisposition to becoming anxious. In contrast, there are some people who can indeed diagnose themselves correctly, especially if what they are experiencing is very specific and atypical. For instance, in cases like Bronte's, an outlier can sometimes get ignored or overlooked and treated by the medical team as a common medical condition when it is not.

Preventing diagnostic mistakes

Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are interactive applications that can now help health-care workers make evidence-based decisions and can even predict treatment outcomes. Partially a response to the critique that physicians frequently misdiagnose, over or under-treat, and/or fail to refer to other medical specialties, CDSSs are considered a major form of artificial intelligence in medicine and are expected to become even more efficient and viable as we fully enter the digital revolution in health care.

CDSSs are increasingly used in triage, screening, risk assessment, diagnosing, treatment evaluation and monitoring. CDSSs can also be linked to patient data from electronic health records.

The preferred models of CDSSs rely on multiple sources of data such as genetic, clinical and socio-demographic information. CDSSs are a part of the so-called 'personalized medicine' movement that is not population-based, but instead focused around pharmacology and interventions tailored to an individual. A study led by Dr. Peter Elkin, who directs Mount Sinai's Center for Biomedical Informatics, suggested that CDSSs can broaden the scope of differential diagnosis, which would make the correct diagnosis more likely, shorten hospital stays, save lives and provide economic value to both to the patient and the provider.

Widespread adoption of CDSSs has not occurred yet in routine practice, but many experts believe that such tools could help overcome idiosyncrasies that exist in health care today. This type of health technology could bridge the gap between theory and practice that often influences the diagnostic process and leaves patients dissatisfied. Patients and clinicians alike need to get familiar with the opportunities health technology affords us, while not losing site of the inherent challenges that come with technological disruption. As these tools evolve, the hope is users will be better equipped to make healthier, well-informed decisions about their own care and treatment options.

In discussing English cuisine the other day -- while I was swallowing an awful English soup -- my friend Michi said, "Bad food is necessary for empire."
I concurred. If the English hadn't been able to offer great curries overseas that were vastly superior to domestic fare, how would they have ever gotten colonial administrators to go to India?

text: Orthofix International N.V., (NASDAQ:OFIX) (the Company) commented today on the federal court rejection of the previously signed plea agreement between the Department of Justice and Orthofix Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, to resolve the bone growth stimulation criminal investigation. As matter of law, a federal court must determine whether there is a factual basis for a criminal plea offered by a defendant and, if it accepts the plea, will then impose its sentence. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(C) allows criminal defendants to agree with the government, before offering a plea, on a recommended sentence, which becomes binding on the court if it accepts the plea. Orthofix Inc., like other corporate defendants, had previously entered into such an agreement as part of the resolution of the government's investigation. "The Company and the government stand behind their agreements and continue to discuss a resolution of the matter following the court's rejection of the plea," said President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Vaters. "We remain confident that this matter will be resolved amicably and in a manner that is in the best interests of our shareholders."

Have you tried the Delete key when using OpenOffice Calc?
What happened?
Well, that depends upon where you were…
As in, were you in a cell or the formula bar editing content or did you have an entire cell(s) selected?
If you've got your cursor in the cell data (or the formula bar) editing the information then the Delete key does exactly what you'd expect. It deletes the character to the right of the cursor.
But… if you've got an entire cell selected (or a range of cells) then the Delete key brings up this:
Yep – when you're asking Calc to delete with an entire cell selected you get choices… lot's of them!
Basically, since your cursor isn't actually in the cell then you must not be looking to remove individual characters so it gives you a list of what you might be trying to delete.
To use this little wonder simply select which item(s) to delete… you can check multiple items from the bottom so you can take out several items without removing everything.
For example… maybe you want the information out of the cell but leave behind the cell formatting.
In that case you'd be looking to check everything but the Formatting option. Now you can put in new data without redoing all the formatting work.
You get the idea – it's a "mix-n-match" situation – it all depends upon what it is that you're trying to delete.
And, of course there's the Delete All choice which truly puts things back to the beginning, leaving nothing but empty cells with default formatting.
Who knew there could be so many choices offered by a single key?

Mock Practice Test-10
Read each of the following passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
It is not easy to write a familiar style. Many people mistake familiar for a vulgar style, and suppose that to write without affectation is to write at random. On the contrary, there is nothing that requires more precision, and, if I may so say, purity of expression, than the style I am speaking of. It utterly rejects not only all unmeaning pomp, but all low, cant phrases, and loose, unconnected slipshod allusions. It is not to take the first word that offers, but the best word in common use; it is not to throw words together in any combinations we please, but to follow and avail ourselves of the true idiom of the language. To write a genuine, familiar or truly English style is to write as anyone would speak in common conversation who had a thorough command and choice, of words, or who discourses with ease, force, and perspicuity, setting aside all pedantic and oratorical flourishers. Or, to give another illustration, to write naturally is the same thing in regard to conversation as to read naturally is in regard to common speech. It does not follow that it is an easy thing to give the true accent and inflection to the words you utter, because you do not attempt to rise above the level of ordinary life and colloquial speaking. You do not assume, indeed, the solemnity of the pulpit, or the tone of stage declamation; neither are you at liberty to gabble on at a venture, without emphasis or discretion, or to resort to vulgar dialect or clownish pronunciation. You must steer a middle course. You are tied down to a given appropriate articulation, which is determined by the habitual associations between sense and sound, and which you can only hit by entering into the author's meaning, as you must find the proper words and style to express yourself by fixing your thoughts on the subject you have to write about. Any one may speak out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus, it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it. Out of eight or ten words equally common, equally intelligible, with nearly equal pretensions, it is a matter of some nicety and discrimination to pick out the very one the preferableness of which is scarcely perceptible, but decisive.
When the writer says, "You must steer a middle course he means that
A You should speak neither too loudly nor too softly
B You should speak neither too formally nor to colloquially
C you should write as well as speak
D you should not come to any definite conclusion about what is proper or not proper in speech

The profusion of architectural styles and buildings captured by the work of Bedford Lemere & Co between 1870 and 1930 reflects the vicissitudes of a growing nation at the head of an empire. The wealth and the feeling of optimism in the future at the end of the 19th century and the uncertainities and changes brought about by technological advances in the opening decades of the 20th are expressed in the images that came from Bedford Lemere, a firm that was based for much of its existence at 147 Strand, London. For 80 years the site served as an ideal base to record the large-scale transformations the capital underwent and to be close to clients.
Clients, including many architects, commissioned them to take photographs of new premises or works. What was then novel or a recent addition to our cities, such as K2 telephone boxes, are now a familiar part of our heritage. Bedford Lemere's approach was to document contemporary buildings and the people in and around them, and not to romanticise. As a result, today their work still seems fresh and modern. It includes visual records of the construction of major buildings, the details of domestic interiors and, later, places serving new needs such as a motor showroom, a Muslim burial ground and a training station for radio operators.
In a new online exhibition, 'Recording the New: The Architectural Photography of Bedford Lemere & Co. 1870 – 1930', this leading firm of architectural photographers is explored: the early years, their varied list of clients, the buildings they recorded and its founder Bedford Lemere and his son Harry. The exhibition is mostly drawn from the holdings of the English Heritage Archive - the largest collection of Bedford Lemere & Co.'s photographs - with some material from the RIBA and the V&A. It is based on last year's V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership display at the V&A and was curated by Anne Woodward and Gary Winter of English Heritage Archive.

Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition: Released for iPad

December 7th, 2012, 22:13
I have some fresh PC multiplayer impressions!
Finally convinced a friend who has played through ALL the infinity engine titles with me to give the Black Pits duo a shot…
Well… To quote him before we gave up "It's just plain not working properly"
In one hour we managed to get one fight.
Resting hangs the game, any DC and rejoining will crash the game, black pits save files appear in normal BG button, etc, etc
As BG super-veterans it's clear this "ENHANCED EDITION" has introduced MORE bugs into multiplayer. Making it pretty much unplayable 100%
What was that other quote? "its like they installed BG, installed a few mods wrongly that make the game crash then sold it to you"

Congress and the Constitution: What Would Lincoln Do?
You'd think Republicans read the Communist Manifesto from the floor of Congress this week.
Perhaps the activist old media, or their friends in the Democrat Party would've been happier with a little Karl Marx, or maybe bring out Steven Colbert to read some Groucho Marx on the floor would've made them happier. The outrage over the reading of the U.S. Constitution is as despicable as it is instructive of who the left is in this country.
The examples of the media calling it a "fetish" that conservatives wanted to have the Constitution read from the floor of the House are everywhere on the internet. Norah O'Donnell called it "a gimmick" and of course, Ezra Klein, the 24 year old child star of the Washington Post, thinks that the text is confusing because it's more than 100 years old. It's actually 223 years old (not counting amendments) and next Sept. 17th it will turn 224. Maybe the left thinks I have a fetish because I have those dates committed to memory.
Here's what another youngster once said about the Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address, given when he was just 28 years old, contains a brilliant paragraph about the reading of the Constitution.
Let it [the Constitution] be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;--let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.
You may have heard that Lincoln was a Republican and that both the left and the right in this nation have put him in a rather prestigious place of reverence. Abe says read the Constitution early and often and even went the next step by referring to it as the political religion of the nation.
Lincoln had reverence for the Constitution.
Good thing this group of activist old media folk were not around when he was rising to power. Norah, Ezra and the rest of their ilk would've tried to ridicule him out of Congress.
The Founders called it the "miracle in Philadelphia" that they were ever able to craft and pass this divine document during three sweaty months in that city. George Washington and James Madison used that phrase to describe the results of the Constitutional Convention. You can't turn a page in the Founders writings without them giving credit to God for the words on those four pages of parchment. You can read their writings in something called the Federalist Papers. Maybe they should be read aloud next (at least read Federalist 10 and 51.)
The activist old media, that so often points to the First amendment as their Holy Grail that allows them to freely exist without government intervention, is the first to blast Republicans for wanting to follow the words of Lincoln and put the Constitution in a special place of reverence.
The battle lines are drawn, are you with the Founders or not? Some liberals and members of the activist old media could've easily joined in this celebration of our Founding documents. Instead, they chose to try to ridicule those who did.
Fine, let's go. I'm happy to be on the side of Lincoln.

The United Kingdom's national identity is tied to its monarchy, which has endured for almost a thousand years. But it turns out that Britain's economic fortunes may also be at least partly tied to the doings of the House of Windsor.
As Prince William's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, prepares to give birth, "royal fever" — an atmosphere of enthusiasm and excitement — is growing among Britons. Royal events typically cause street celebrations in the U.K., boosting local shop sales and driving consumer confidence higher, at least for a bit, the Associated Press notes.
The birth of a new royal and heir to the throne, is expected to be a jubilant moment, both for the Royal Family and for Britain. That excitement comes as the British economy — which edged up just 0.3% in the last quarter — is badly in need of some encouragement.
Prince William made headlines when he married the former Kate Middleton in a lavish 2011 ceremony. The Duchess has been closely watched by Britons for her clothing and style choices, boosting the sales of brands and setting fashion trends.
Happy royal events not only provide psychological support for Britons, but they also drive increases in tourism, a further boost for the economy. And Britain has no shortage of attractions to keep tourists busy.

I don't know what's happening, but the past couple of days, I've been having major problems with the Chrome browser.

It works fine for me on OSX
I use chrome browser but have no problems. Try to make new installation on your computer.
Smooth as silk for me buddy, rock solid as always
Well this is good news. I really didn't want there to be a problem.
I'll reinstall and see if that helps.
works good here
I use Chrome a lot and I also noticed some bugs with tabs in the last week or so. It's like … the first bugs i notice in a loooong time.
The only I have with tabs is the fact that you can close Chrome without conformation. :/
1. Check if you're on the Dev Channel – which means you don't have the latest stable, but rather the latest "beta release". 2. If you've modified anything in about:flags then try to revert it back. Some features in there are so badly developed and integrated that it really can mess up your browser. 3. Try to deactivate some of your plugins/extensions. May you've installed a poorly one…
PS: I had issues some months ago with some new features which can be activated under about:flags, and I had some issues with various plugins. Lately I'm troubeling around with AdBlock.

This was really annoying until I've met Chrome Toolbox extension. It could help you.
For me, what happened with Chrome lately was it sometimes crashed when having many tabs or without any reason. Strange.

Sold out crowd wowed by royals and sporting skill on show
New Zealand's National Cycling Centre of Excellence, the Avantidrome, was officially opened on Saturday 12 April by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in front of a full house of more than 1500 guests including the Prime Minister and Olympians.
The celebrations began with a welcome from the Home of Cycling's Chairman Simon Perry, who thanked all contributors, national and local, public and private, who assisted with bringing the four year project and 28.5m world class facility to life, saying that it "put Cambridge and the Waikato on the map" within the sporting arena.
Retired Olympic track cyclist and gold medallist
Sarah Ulmer led the royals into the Avantidrome, where they
were greeted with loud cheering from guests.
Prince William was glad to attend and open the new world class facility.
"It's a great pleasure for Catherine and me to be here to pay tribute to New Zealand's cycling heritage and cycling future. I know what a special place cycling holds for New Zealanders."
He said the Avantidrome "represented cycling's pinnacle" and would no doubt assist with producing more world class champions and Olympic medallists for New Zealand in the future.
He formally opened the facility together with Kate, by pulling open a red curtain to unveil a plaque.
Prince William also got involved in the opening celebrations by starting the team sprint race, which included the current world champions donning their rainbow jerseys; Sam Webster, Ethan Mitchell and Eddie Dawkins against fellow elite New Zealand cyclists.
The crowd counted down and Prince William fired the starter gun to further cheers from guests.
The royals also mingled with London Olympic gold medallists, Mahe Drysdale, Hamish Bond, Eric Murray, Joseph Sullivan, Nathan Cohen and Lisa Carrington. They also talked through various sporting equipment that was on display.
John Struthers, Avanti founder, presented one of Avanti's popular children's bikes as well as a bespoke designer mini cycling jersey to the royals for Prince George in order to celebrate his inaugural visit to New Zealand.
"Avanti is honoured to be presenting the Lil Ripper to the Royal family and we're sure, as with all new parents, it will be exciting for the Duke and Duchess to see their son riding his first bike. We understand a child's first bike has always been a significant event in any family, John says."
The Avantidrome is an international-standard 250 metre indoor track which will provide New Zealand's cyclists with the best possible training environment here at home. It's part of a network of world-class facilities that the Government has invested in over the last four years in its effort to take high performance sport in this country to a new level.

One of the first major works by Tony-winning playwright George C. Wolfe, The Colored Museum deconstructs the racism of modern society with a sense of humor as sharp as a scalpel and as blunt as a strongman's hammer. The brutal satire is presented as a series of surreal, yet familiar vignettes, or "exhibits," chronicling the cultural misconceptions and realities of the African-American experience. In "Exhibit One: Git on Board," a stewardess reels through her preflight spiel on the luxury slave ship Celebrity, warning her charges to fasten their shackles before takeoff. "Exhibit Two: Cookin' with Aunt Ethel" sees a blues-singing bayou queen host a cooking show about turning sadness and rage into beautiful art. Later, in "The Last Mama-on-the-Couch Play," Wolfe turns his razor pen on some of the more sentimental excesses of African-American theater itself. None are safe in this audacious, incisive, and sometimes uncomfortable play, presented by Theatre VCU in celebration of Black History Month.
Theatre VCU
Theatre VCU has worked toward two goals: to help create a new generation of theater artists, and to ensure the tanks on their applause-powered generators stay full. Young performers along with costume, scenic, and lighting designers, and stage managers hone their crafts and nurture their talents. And, they manage to create some pretty terrific art that has become a great community resource for entertainment.

Scottsdale Living magazine and the Scottsdale Home & Garden Show, both products of Az Big Media, has been subjected to unwarranted criticism after ShapeUp US announced on 12 News TV on Saturday that they would be giving away live bunnies as prizes at the Scottsdale Home & Garden Show.
"While ShapeUp US will be conducting a health and wellness event for families at the Scottsdale Home & Garden Show, we never approved or would allow rabbits to be given away as prizes at any of our events," said AZ Big Media Publisher Cheryl Green. "As long-time supporters of the Arizona Animal Welfare League, we are advocates for the humane treatment of all animals and would never allow the mistreatment or misuse of animals at any of our events."
Beyond the health and wellness event, there will be hundreds of amazing vendors and features to explore at the Scottsdale Home & Garden Show. We invite you to download a free ticket at http://exposaz.com/tickets.

Successful Graduates
More than two-thirds of Coe's biology graduates each year go on to graduate and medical schools. Others have gone into careers as zoologists, genetic counselors, industrial research scientists, environmental analysts and high school biology teachers. Here are some examples of what Coe biology graduates have accomplished:
Keenan Laraway graduated from Coe in 2011 with majors in biology and neuroscience, and minors in chemistry and political science. The Marion, Iowa native is currently studying medicine at the Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa.
"The biology program at Coe provides students with extraordinary opportunities in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the field. From the Wilderness Field Station to our renowned REU associations and the development of new cross-disciplinary courses, Coe's biology department is truly growing into one of the strongest and most regarded on campus! As a pre-medical student, I conducted my own research with the direction of Professor Tom Lackner. We coordinated work in the botany lab course with new techniques available through the departments of chemistry and biology. As a result, I was asked to speak at regional and national conferences of the American Chemical Society. When I came to Coe, I would have laughed if you told me that would happen! I strongly encourage students to take advantage of as many opportunities as they can. If you jump in and work hard, when you look back four years later, you'll be amazed at what you've accomplished." – Keenan Laraway '11
Alex Michaud graduated from Coe in 2009 with majors in biology and environmental science. As a graduate student at Montana State University he conducted research in Antarctica as a member of the WISSARD (Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling) team. Click here to read Alex's blog, "Journey to Subglacial Antarctica."
Michaud was awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy in Ecology and Environmental Sciences with a focus in Environmental Microbiology from Montana State University in 2016. Dr. Michaud has accepted a two-year post-doctoral appointment to continue his research studies at Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark. His post-doctoral research will focus on Arctic marine sediment microbiology and the coordination of an international research team and expedition to the Norwegian Arctic.

Southern magnolia in New MexicoQuestion:
I bought 2 Southern magnolia trees when my house was built last year. They were planted by a professional from the nursery where I purchased them. Why are the leaves brown like they are dying? The trees look good, just the leaves seem to be dying. Some leaves are green and others are green and brown? How often should they be watered?
Irene P.
Alamogordo, NMAnswer:
The Southern magnolia is a broadleaf evergreen tree native to the Southeastern U.S. That region of the U.S. has acid soils and, more importantly, humid air. The Southern Magnolia is not well adapted to our dry air and shows this as their leaves turn brown. It will often survive in New Mexico but will have many brown leaves. Magnolias on the north side of a house often look pretty good until they get larger than the house, and then winds blowing over the roof begin drying the leaves.
To minimize this browning of the leaves, the magnolia does best in an area protected from wind and direct afternoon sunlight. A structure (house, garage, etc.) is useful for a while. A windbreak of taller trees is better than a house, especially when there are trees to the west to provide afternoon shade.
Watering will depend on the type of soil in which the trees are growing. Sandy soils should be watered a little more frequently with less water while clay soils require greater quantities of water, which should be applied much more slowly and less often. Loam soils are intermediate. A general guideline that you can modify slightly (depending on your soil conditions) is to irrigate newly planted trees once a week the first one or two growing seasons. Then, in subsequent growing seasons, reduce the irrigation frequency to once every two weeks. During the dormant season, water once every month. Even though the tree keeps its leaves, it uses less water during the dormant season. In all cases, change the frequency of irrigation but not the quantity of water applied. When you water, apply enough water to moisten the soil to a depth of three feet (if the soil is that deep in your location). In areas with a shallow caliche or rock layer, large raised beds may allow growing small trees; however, the Southern magnolia is not small and may not tolerate these conditions. The amount of water to moisten to that depth depends on the soil type and is best determined by trial and error. Your County Extension Service agent can help you make this determination.
Even with proper watering, the tree may suffer for a couple of years until the root system recovers from the transplant shock. However, because of our alkaline soil and dry winds, the magnolia will rarely look as good in New Mexico as those growing in the Southeastern U.S.back to top

A regional office of the Better Business Bureau is warning Fort Hood soldiers about local payday loan businesses, after reports that some of them are using unfair business practices.
Helen Moore, director for the BBB's regional office in Waco, said concerns were raised by organizations at Fort Hood that were getting multiple reports from service members who borrowed money from such businesses.
"We saw soldiers being charged excessively high interest rates," Moore said. "I saw one case where a soldier was charged a 1,748 percent interest rate."
The Military Lending Act of 2006 says lenders can charge soldiers at no more than 36 percent interest on short-term loans. However, Moore said lenders can use loopholes in those federal regulations to get around the requirements.
"There is concern and a desire by lots of people to close those loopholes," Moore said. "There are lots of people who get caught in this payday loan quagmire."
The Army does offer some programs to help soldiers in financial need, including the Army Emergency Relief fund, which provides emergency financial assistance to active and retired soldiers and their family members.
Moore said service members, and anyone else considering taking a payday loan, should exhaust all other possibilities before going to a short-term lending business.
"You really need to have a clear plan on how you're going to pay that money back in the allotted time frame," Moore said. "You need to have a plan before you take that loan out."

After tabloid reports that he had auditioned for a role, Ellis tweeted: "It's been lovely to hear all the congrats for Downton, but the truth is I'm not going to be in it." Speculation has been rife that a major new romantic male lead will be cast in the hit ITV period drama, following the shock death in the 2012 Christmas special of Matthew Crawley, played by Dan Stevens. After three years on the show, Stevens declined to sign a new contract to appear. Downton creator Julian Fellowes has revealed that the new series begins six months after the events in the Christmas episode and will thus not feature Matthew's funeral. Ellis was recently cast as Dr Frankenstein in Gothica, a pilot drama for US network ABC. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

The LUXEON® Rebel, by Philips Lumileds, is the smallest surface mountable power LED available today. With the industry's best lumens per package, highest light density (lumens per mm2), and the highest packing density, LUXEON Rebel is ideal for both space-constrained and conventional solid-state lighting applications.
Advantages of LUXEON Rebel High-Power LED's:
The LUXEON Rebel is available in Cool-White, Neutral-White, Warm-White, Blue, Royal Blue, Green, Cyan, Red-Orange, Red and Amber.
Philips Lumileds is a leader in LED materials and LED packaging technologies and was the first manufacturer to offer a high power LED lighting device for solid state lighting.
The LXML-PWC1-0090 LUXEON Rebel is a Cool-White power LED with a Minimum Luminous Flux of 90 lumens measured at 350mA and a Typical Luminous Flux of 160 lumens measured at 700mA.
Performance: The LXML-PWC1-0090 Cool-White power LED has a typical CCT of 6500K across a 4500K to 10,000K range, and a typical CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 70. The typical Forward Voltage is 3.15 Volts (V) measured at 350mA.
The LXML-PWC1-0090 emits a Lambertian beam, suitable for use with commercially available optical systems. The typical viewing angle is 140 degrees (total angle at which 90% of total luminous flux is captured).
White LUXEON Rebel Emitters are tested and binned by x and y coordinates within a correlated color temperature on the CIE 1931 Chromaticity Diagram.
Technology: The LXML-PWC1-0090 cool-white LUXEON Rebel is built with blue Indium-Gallium-Nitride (InGaN) LED chips with a phosphor coating to create white light. LUXEON® LEDs use a patented conformal phosphor coating process that uniformly coats the LED with phosphor. This eliminates the blue-ring effect common to other white LEDs and delivers the consistent white color throughout the light beam making LUXEON® the best white LED lighting source available today.
In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there is a variation of performance around the average values given in the technical data sheets. For this reason, Philips Lumileds bins the LED components for luminous flux, color and forward voltage (Vf). All LED's packaged within a reel are of the same three variable bin combination.
Note: Although several bins are outlined, product availability in a particular bin varies by production run and by product performance. Not all bins are available in all colors. To verify high volume supportability of parts chosen for your application design, please consult your Philips Lumileds/Future Lighting Solutions sales representative.
Without power, LED die within different reels may appear visually different. LUXREBwhite
