Find clothes (like from my store) that scream: proud, happy, fun, comfortable and affordable. Wear good shoes. You'd be surprised how far shoe makers have come with nice-looking shoes that are still good for your feet. Yes, even heels.
Budget Fashionista: What does the phrase 'body positive' mean to you?
Anne: Body positive means you love yourself. You do have to LOVE YOURSELF. Every curve, every wrinkle, every sun spot, every fold, every gray hair and every part of your body.
My arms work, my legs work, my eyes work (with a little help sometimes), my digestive system works (again, a little help sometimes). Yes, sometimes my weight doesn't work (like in a size 12 or 14) but it will fit in a size 16 or 18. And that's a good thing!
Budget Fashionista: Some women I know treat weight gain as a "thing to be dealt with," rather than a part of life. Have you experienced the same? Why do you think women react so strongly to weight gain?
Anne:Society tells us that we should be tall, thin, tan, blonde and sweet as pie. YEAH RIGHT! I'm not sure where that village is, but I live in the real world.Click To Tweet
Sometimes I do think, "I have to do something about this weight." But then life, real life, slaps me in the face and says, "hurry up, you've got better things to do." Like work to pay for shelter, transportation, insurance. And love my husband, children and grandchild even more than yesterday. And be there for family members going through worse things than being overweight, like cancer, loss of a loved one, divorce, etc.
When everything else in our lives is going well, I guess that leaves our weight to be next on the list. Click To Tweet But does it really need to be if we're healthy, happy and functioning in our lives?
Budget Fashionista: Your weight gain led to the launch of your business. Can you share more details about that evolution?
Anne: When I stated my store I made pillowcases, pillow covers, etc. When I moved to apparel, I thought, what is my niche? Everyone says you have to have something that is needed, wanted and not as easy to find as, say, bubble gum.
My niche is apparel for "real women." I live in a community where my size 16/18 is average, or even on the smaller side.
I've literally only had two requests in the last four years for a size small for my blouses. If anything, I've had several requests for 5XL blouses, which I've filled and they loved them.
Budget Fashionista: Your Etsy store has amazing reviews — your customers clearly love you and your products. What's your secret?
Anne:My secret is the personal touch. Click To TweetI acknowledge receipt of each order immediately with an email or, as Etsy calls it, a convo. I send out the orders right away, wrapped in lovely tissue. I include a hand written note, my business card with a discount code written on the back and a little something extra (you'll have to order something to find out what that is).
Even my packaging includes a Mahalo (thank you) stamp and/or sticker. I often double-check with my customers to make sure my item will fit given the measurements I provided on the description.

Metro Vac Blaster Sidekick
Fancy the idea of owning an Air Force Blaster, but can't justify the cost? Well, this nifty little companion product from Metro Vac may ease your dilemma. It's smaller, lighter and less than half the cost, but still packs a mean punch with a peak airflow rate in excess of 200 mph! It works incredibly well for its size and vastly outperforms domestic leaf blowers. Although it's not designed for drying whole vehicles, it works brilliantly on smaller areas such as wheels, grills, vents, door shuts and engine bays.
The Metro Vac Blaster Sidekick is a high performance compact vehicle dryer; it features a powerful 1.3 hp motor that delivers a peak airflow rate of just over 200 mph. The air being drawn into the unit is fully filtered for additional safety and then gently warmed by heat from the motor, thus aiding the drying process. The Metro Vac Blaster Sidekick comes with a non-scratch neoprene blower nozzle, an airflow streamer (for drying larger panel areas) and a one year return to base warranty.
The Metro Vac Blaster Sidekick is a power tool and as such carries potentially serious health and usage risks that should be fully understood from the outset; please read the supplied instructions carefully. Although the Metro Vac Blaster Sidekick is best used for localised drying duties on wheels, door shuts and engine bays, it can also be used to dry entire vehicles just be aware that it takes longer to achieve this than is the case when using its bigger brother (the Metro Vac Air Force Blaster).

PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - The top surviving commanders of the 1970s Khmer Rouge regime masterminded one of the "worst horrors" of the 20th century, creating a living nightmare by killing or enslaving millions of Cambodians, a U.N.-backed war crimes trial heard on Monday.
In opening statements in one of the world's most high-profile genocide trials, prosecutors said former President Khieu Samphan, ex-Foreign Minister Ieng Sary and second-in-command Nuon Chea had called the shots in the bloody "Killing Fields" revolution that wiped out a quarter of the population and destroyed the lives of millions of survivors.
The three were top henchmen of Pol Pot, the late architect of the "Year Zero" revolution under Democratic Kampuchea, as the regime was known. Between 1.7 and 2.2 million people died from 1975-79 of torture, execution, disease, overwork or starvation.
The defendants, who are charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, showed no emotion as Cambodian co-prosecutor Chea Leang delivered powerful opening statements to a packed tribunal.
"Every Cambodian who was alive during this period was affected by the criminal system of oppression which these accused put in place. The death toll is staggering," Chea Leang said.
"The forced evacuations of Cambodian cities, the enslavement of millions of people in forced labor camps, the smashing of hundreds of thousands of lives in notorious security centers and the killing fields, and the extermination of minorities, the countless deaths from disease, abuse and starvation -- these crimes ordered and orchestrated by the accused were among the worst horrors inflicted on any nation in modern history."
A fourth defendant, former Social Affairs Minister Ieng Thirith, was declared mentally ill and unfit for trial on Thursday. She remains in detention pending an appeal.
Their case is the second to be brought before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) and could be the last, with rights groups furious over the court's unexplained rejection of a third high-profile case and allegations of misconduct, incompetence and political interference directed at the U.N. and Cambodian authorities.
With the defendants in their 80s and in failing health, many Cambodians feel they will die before a verdict is reached in a complex case that could last years. Prosecutors are expected to ask for the maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
International co-prosecutor Andrew Cayley said the court should not be tempted by feelings of compassion.
"They murdered, tortured and terrorized their own people, they unleashed a radical social reformed process ... to create a living nightmare for all Khmer. They took from the people everything that makes life worth living," he told the tribunal.
"Let us never for one moment forget in this trial that this is the tragic legacy that these elderly people represent."
The Khmer Rouge era is still shrouded in mystery and most Cambodians just want to hear the truth about one of the world's most murderous and enigmatic regimes.
"We want justice so that the dead can finally close their eyes," Chum Noeu, 62, who lost 13 relatives under Khmer Rouge rule. "What is the truth behind all of torture and killings? What happened?"
The court has handed down just one sentence so far, a 35-year jail term, commuted to 19 years, for former prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, alias "Duch," over the deaths of more than 14,000 people at the torture center he ran. His appeal is set for February 3 next year.
The defendants have so far shown no willingness to cooperate with the tribunal and are expected to deny responsibility. Ieng Sary has taken a vow of silence.
Nuon Chea's lawyer, Michiel Pestman, sought to delay the trial on Monday by asking for judge Silvia Cartwright's resignation, claiming she had held unofficial meetings with co-prosecutors, but judge Nil Nonn rejected the move.
Pestman questioned the independence of the Cambodian judges and said Nuon Chea had been denied the chance to call his own defense witnesses.
"The international community and the international judges must step up and speak out on behalf of my client," he told Reuters.
Nuon Chea wore dark sunglasses during the proceedings and is unlikely to confess, despite recorded comments he made in a documentary film "Enemies of the People," during which he said threats to the party line were "destroyed" if they could not be "corrected or re-educated."
With a raft of resignations, long delays and expenditure expected to surpass $150 million by the end of the year, Cambodians have lost confidence in a tribunal that took more than a decade to establish.
Many just want to hear the defendants explain why so many people had to die.
"I have been wondering for so long why this regime was so brutal, why they killed so many people," said Kim So, another survivor who lost 13 relatives, including his parents.
"I am wondering how human beings like Pol Pot and Ieng Sary could do this to other human beings."

For truck buyers, the engine and driveline is a huge part of the equation--after all, it's going to be called on to perform strenuous tasks at least occasionally.
In the Tundra, the engine is weak spot, no matter which one you choose. There are three engines available, a 4.0-liter V-6 in the base Tundra, a 4.6-liter V-8, and a 5.7-liter V-8 for those with more serious towing needs. Engines are unchanged from 2013.
The 4.0-liter V-6 is rated at 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. The 4.6-liter V-8 rates 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque, and the 5.7-liter V-8 sits at a potent 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. For V-6 models, a five-speed automatic is standard; the V-8s get six-speed automatics. All of the transmissions shift smoothly and reliably.
While the numbers are generally good across the Tundra's engine range, that's only half of the story. On city streets, in an unloaded truck, both V-8s feel about the same--plenty powerful for getting around in traffic. Strap a hefty load behind the Tundra (it can tow up to 10,400 pounds, depending on equipment and configuration), and the story changes.
Toyota is the only pickup truck manufacturer to adhere to the J2807 standard for two ratings, but despite the technical qualification, the Tundra feels anemic with a load of even 8,000 pounds. Accelerating to freeway speeds within the length of a typical on-ramp while towing is a serious challenge--something that's not true of the top-tier towing configurations from Ford, Chevy, and Ram.
Driving in day-to-day traffic, the Tundra is comfortable and easy-going, with light, quick steering. Ride quality can be a bit jouncy with no load in the bed, but that's true of all pickups to some degree. Despite its positive traits, the Tundra clearly lags behind its American rivals.

Tracing Patterns On Gumpaste Or Fondant
Decorating By Tyashoe Updated 7 Sep 2010 , 2:35pm by TexasSugar
Can anyone tell me if there is some way to transfer drawings onto a cake, gumpaste or fondant, using some type or form of "tracing paper- like" material? Any ideas welcome!
One method is placing the drawing on the cake and trace it out by pricking holes with a stick pin.
Then there is the fbct (frozen buttercream transfer). There's a tutorial on this under articles.
Welcome to CC!
Take a piece of plexiglass or the glass out of a picture frame (tape over the edges so you don't cut yourself) and lay that over the image you want to transfer. Using a small tip pipe the design onto the plexiglass/glass with royal icing. Let that dry. Once try you can then use that to imprint soft fondant or gumpaste.
Also at the convention, someone (can't remember who) talked about making edible carbon paper but spreading melted chocolate on to a piece of parchment paper, letting it cool, then tracing over it on to the fondant/gumpaste.

Seven Rules for a Healthy Christmas
Christmas is a time to eat, drink and be merry. But with the big day just around the corner, you may not have considered the impact of all that indulgence on your health. Unfortunately, the festive season is also a time when many people fall ill. Read on for our seven rules for a healthy, happy Christmas.
Keep an eye on the Christmas calories
According to the British Heart Foundation, your Christmas dinner alone can contain a day's allowance of calories, and then there's the alcohol, sweets, and turkey sandwiches for tea. All that indulgence over the festive season can result in a waistline of Santa-esque proportions. So if you'd prefer not to begin 2014 on a diet, it's worth being sensible when it comes to festive treats. There are several ways you can reduce your Christmas calorie count, for example by removing the skin from your turkey or roasting potatoes in oil rather than fat.
Don't get too merry
With endless parties to attend over the festive season, it's easy to find yourself drinking alcohol every day. Whether you're usually a heavy drinker or not, you may think that this level of indulgence for a short period is not harmful to your health. In fact, according to Drinkaware.co.uk, drinking to excess for just a couple of weeks can be enough to cause 'fatty liver'. This is because alcohol can affect the way the liver turns glucose into fat for the body to use, meaning that the fat stays in your liver instead. Symptoms include abdominal discomfort, feeling sick and loss of appetite. More seriously, fatty liver can develop into hepatitis if you continue to drink heavily.
Swap your Christmas slippers for trainers
Christmas Day is often spent slumped on the sofa in front of the TV, groaning under the weight of a huge meal. A sedentary lifestyle has been found to shorten your life expectancy, and failing to do the recommended amount of exercise a week is linked to the development of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and breast and bowel cancer. So consider going for a walk or run after your Christmas dinner instead, as well as making the most of your time off work to get plenty of fresh air and stay active.
Stay safe at Christmas parties
Research shows there is an increase in both STIs and pregnancies during the festive season, with the FPA reporting a peak in calls to their helpline in January. This is in part due to the amount of alcohol being consumed at Christmas parties. So if you want to have a good time while staying safe, make sure you stock up on contraception before Christmas, particularly if you're going away. To protect against STIs, ensure you use condoms as well. If you do have unprotected sex over the Christmas period, it's important you are tested as soon as possible to avoid unpleasant symptoms or even infertility.
Avoid seasonal stress
These days there is a lot of pressure on families to create a 'perfect' Christmas, from the food, to the presents. There's also Christmas shopping, overexcited children and visits from relatives to contend with. Prolonged stress can have negative effects on the body, causing headaches, upset stomach, trouble sleeping and high blood pressure. To avoid these undesirable effects, it's a good idea to plan your Christmas beforehand. Get family and friends to help you prepare dinner so you don't end up taking on too much. If there are any issues between family members, try to resolve these before the big day. It's also a good idea to get out of the house, particularly if there are children present, so head out for a walk at some point on Christmas Day.
Don't get festive flu
Colds, sore throats and flu are all more prevalent in winter, and the cold weather can also be a trigger for asthma sufferers. This, combined with several days spent surrounded by friends and relatives, means that you are more likely to catch a virus than at any other time of the year. To reduce your risk of spending Christmas tucked up in bed, you may want to have a flu vaccination or purchase a prescription flu treatment, which can prevent and reduce the symptoms of flu. This is particularly advisable for those in a high-risk group such as the very young or elderly, or people with underlying health conditions.
Cook the turkey thoroughly
Food poisoning on Christmas Day is definitely not a surprise anyone wants. It takes hours to fully prepare a turkey, so make sure you follow the instructions and allow it to completely defrost before cooking. The NHS website has more advice about cooking turkey properly.
It can be particularly difficult to get a doctor's appointment during Christmas. If you find yourself requiring non-urgent medical treatment over the festive period, you can have a free online consultation with a qualified doctor with HealthExpress.co.uk, as well as get information and support for various health conditions.

Prediction of deformation textures in zirconium based on a simplified modelling of grain interaction
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
The goal of this study is to apply a "multisite" crystal plasticity model to the prediction of texture evolution in zirconium deformed at high temperature. The model under consideration is an extension of the elastic-viscoplastic "multisite model" proposed by Delannay et al. [2005] which has been adapted to account for a new type of grain interaction (Van Houtte et al. [2005]). Predictions of the model are compared to experimental data. Two forming processes are considered: sheet rolling (Lebensohn et al. [1994]) and the torsion of a cylindrical bar (Sanchez et al. [2001]).

Influence of Anions on the Uptake of Calcium and Magnesium by Plants and on Calcium and Magnesium Movement in Soils1
- J. T. Gillingham and
- N. R. Page2
The influence of Cl, NO3, SO4, and PO4 on the uptake of Ca and Mg by sunflowers were studied under greenhouse conditions. Calcium uptake was increased only by Cl and NO3. Magnesium uptake was increased by all anions except Cl. In a lysimeter experiment, the vertical movement of Ca and Mg through the profile and into the leachate by the various anions was in the order of their solubility: NO3 > Cl > SO4 > PO4.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

A leading Hollywood studio, Hyperion Pictures, known for its youth oriented live action and animated feature films besides successful TV serials in US is making headlines. Through its recently formed Indian subsidiary for producing cross-cultural films and TV content, the Hollywood giant has entered the Indian entertainment market in a big way. It is all set to roll out its first Hollywood-Bollywood co-ventured film titled 'Marigold'.
Tom Wilhite, President, Hyperion Pictures says, "We at Hyperion are very excited about being involved with a production that marks a turning point in the evolution of a truly global entertainment cinema. We have decided that most of the key creative positions on the film will be filled by top-flight Indian professionals so that we can be assured that the Bollywood elements of the film will be authentic in every detail".
The romantic comedy, written and directed by Willard Carroll, is expected to be shot in a single schedule of 11/12 weeks starting in Feb/March 2003. The movie will have a completion bond from an international company apart from the insurance. The Indian superstar Salman Khan is going to play the lead role opposite a popular US actress rumoured to be teen pop icon Britney Spears. But sources at Hyperion confirmed that no actress has been finalized so far.
In addition to the background score composed by David Newman, Marigold will be the first Hollywood movie to contain a full complement of six new 'playback songs' in Hindi composed by the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy of 'Dil Chahta Hai' fame underlining the importance of music rights in terms of revenue generation in the Indian movie industry.
Despite its high cost almost at par with 'Devdas', the most expensive film ever made in India, Sidharth Jain, VP-Hyperion Pictures India sounds confident of its commercial viability as he says, "We plan to make the film well under US$ 10 millions. The film will be shot in English and Hindi separately. Since the film will be released across the world in English and Hindi, we are confident of it being a commercial success. It will also be a good model as we have very 'creatively' worked out the financing model." He further adds, "We are looking at a couple of mobile phone and liquor companies for in-film promotions also".
Besides the much talked about movie, Hyperion is working on a TV soap and an animation project as well for the international market originating from India.

Love it! Very romantic atmosphere. I really like the composition and color palette <3
Love everything in the picture!
I really like the lighting in this piece. Those puddles in contrast to the mud are perfection.
The colours are perfect.
The light and color here is just amazing. I've never quite seen a setting like this.
Thanks :') it was one of those things that kind of pop in our head and you really want to make that image
Great colours <3
Feels totally like your description so yeah you did it again.
Aw~~ they're holding hands.
Excellent work.
Yes, I concur perfectly with what everyone else is saying.
Incredible. (:
Aw, I love that! The colors, the lights, the atmosphere, the fact that they're holding hands ... Just beautifully done! <3
The athmosphere is unbelievable amazing.
Great work on the colours, they really create a fantastic mood in the picture!
I saw this on your Tumblr and loved it! I'm not sure if they're supposed to look like certain shapes but I can see a bird and a fox in the puddles
Perfect, absolutely perfect
Wow, this is gorgeous.

Does it seem like you're always running out of time? Too many things on your to-do list and not enough time to get it all done? Yeah, me too.
If you have a list of resolutions for the new year, finding more time to accomplish these goals is no doubt on your list. But how can you find more time for yourself? Luckily there are some simple steps you can take to open up your schedule and create more pockets of space for productivity, relaxation, and self-care, and I'm going to share them with you now!
7 Ways to Find More Time in the New Year
1. Start a daily planner.
Y'all know that I'm a big believer in using a planner to organize my day. Keeping a planner will help you track your appointments, daily to-do lists, and other important details. By keeping a planner, you can easily see where your time is going, the busiest times of day for you, and where you have pockets of time. A daily planner can best help you track your time and look for patterns in it. I personally love The Happy Planner.
2. Cut down on screen time.
It can be a real eye opener to see how much time we waste on social media and net surfing each day. Try to cut down on screen time by allowing yourself specific slots of time for online tasks. Set a timer if you have to, or use a lock out app to help control you desire to sit and surf. When your time is up, shut the screen off and go do something else with your time. Are you making a new year's resolution to limit your screen time? See my tips here.
3. Use organizational apps.
With free organizational apps like Todoist, you have many ways to stay organized right at your fingertips. Try downloading a free organizational app so you can be sure you keep notes and dates straight, and even access digital reminders sent straight to your phone. For some of my favorite apps for bloggers and small businesses, click here.
4. Say no to things that don't bring you joy.
We often feel obligated to say yes to things we don't enjoy. Let 2017 be the year you start saying no without feeling guilty. Free up time by not committing to things that no longer bring you joy. The examples are various here, so take a hard look at the activities you say yes to and see if they are still worth your time and energy. If they're not, let them go. This is one of the first steps in taking proper care of yourself in 2017.
5. Re-evaluate daily tasks and their importance.
How many tasks do you do each day out of habit? Now is the time to look at those tasks and see if they are truly worth your time and energy. Are they really important, or have they simply become part of a routine that you could give up? Re-evaluate your daily tasks and make sure they serve a purpose. If so, keep them. If not, it's time to toss them.
6. Ask for help when appropriate.
Maybe you haven't figured this out yet, but here's the truth: you can't be everything to everyone all the time. If there are tasks you can ask for help with, do it. You might also weigh the options of paying for help. For example, maybe 2017 is the perfect time to partner with a Virtual Assistant for your blog or business. I'd love to chat about the possibilities.
7. Implement daily life hacks to save time and energy.
The internet is full of life hacks for making your life easier. Take shortcuts when it comes to cleaning, cooking, and organizing to help relieve stress and save time. Need ideas? Just head to Pinterest and search for life hacks to find all sorts of time saving tips and tricks you can use each day.
As you can see, there are many painless ways to find more time in the new year. Consider these 7 suggestions and see if they don't help you better manage your time and daily agendas.
Your turn: what are your best tips for finding more time in your day? I'd love for you to share them with me in a comment below.

A visit to Mozambique's capital can be an experience in luxury. Maputo's newly-built international airport sells aftershaves for $230 and bottles of Dom Perignon for $320. But for the majority of the country's citizens, Mozambique represents something very different. GDP and growth rates say little of the distribution of wealth and living conditions, and the country's incredible riches exist alongside crippling poverty.

Anything from it that inspires you!
Here are both of the album covers:
Here is a listing of all the songs. I used the list from the 20th Anniversary Edition Soundtrack because it has even more songs on it from the movie than the Original Soundtrack does.

27. (I've Had) The Time of My Life - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
Open to paper, hybrid, cards, crafts or whatever this inspires you to create.
Multiple submissions are allowed and I'm upping the limit to 5 this month because there are so many ways to get inspiration from this.
May be combined with one other challenge if that challenge allows it.
I am giving an extra week because I am posting this so late. You have until the end of the day September 7th to post your submissions. A random winner will win a $5 ACOT gift card from me!
I hope you all have fun with this!
Here is my page. I used the song title "Hungry Eyes" for this photo of Twinkie and Sky watching dh carve a turkey. I couldn't have found a more perfect title!

OMG! LOVE the challenge! So many choices, but I love your layout of 'Hungry Eyes". TOO FUNNY!!
Re: August Music Challenge
I was inspired by the white album cover to create a sketch to work from. I was going to call this layout Good eats or something like that but the capital D's in the Dirty Dancing title gave me the thought Disney Dining! Feel free to use the sketch.

In an unusual display of harmony, leaders of 18 aviation associations signed a letter to President Bush asking that he appoint a new FAA Administrator to the normal five-year term instead of a recess appointment that the Senate might not approve by the end of the next session. "Our nation cannot afford a recess appointee as we face the time-critical challenge of modernizing our nation's aviation infrastructure," the letter stated. Despite the ongoing battle over FAA reauthorization funding between general aviation and airline interests, the Air Transport Association as well as general aviation groups signed the letter, agreeing, "We are united in our belief that modernization is absolutely necessary and that critical decisions impacting the entire aviation infrastructure will need to be made in the next two years."

text: Xbox One and PS4: Anyone concerned with their reliability? I've had a PS2 with a DRE error (replaced with a slim model that held up well), 2 Xboxs with Thompson disc drive failures (1st was warranty, 2nd was not) and a Xbox 360 with an E74 error (repaired under 3 year warranty, but had to replace the power brick later and now it refuses to open the disc drive when empty. Solution: never ever close it empty.) Given how many times I've gotten burned (and I'm not alone, I've seen several articles that between 40 and 60 percent of 360's fail) I'm a little apprehensive about getting into next-gen until I'm sure they've worked out the kinks. Am I alone? If the PS4 launch edition included some bonus time to the warranty, I might have pulled the trigger.

Aerion Corp. has a backlog of more than $ 4 billion for its supersonic business jet and is looking for an aircraft manufacturer to build it.
Aerion, based in Reno, Nev., is talking with planemakers and suppliers.
"There continues to be a lot of very good discussion," Aerion vice chairman Brian Barents said this week. Barents is a former Learjet chief executive and president and Cessna Aircraft senior vice president.
Aerion began taking orders for its $ 80 million jet about seven months ago. It has letters of intent for 50 jets.
Aerion is seeking a joint venture with a company that will brand the aircraft with the manufacturer´s name, certify and support it. It´s a challenge, however, because the business jet market is robust and jetmakers are busy.
"Everybody has projects under way," Barents said. Even so, Barents expects to reach an agreement with a manufacturer by the end of the year. That will keep the company on track to certify the plane and begin deliveries in 2014 as planned, he said.
"We think it´s very doable," Barents said.
Cessna, meanwhile, is refuting a report that it has plans for a supersonic business jet design. The Internet report, by HalogenGuides Jets, said: "Little is known about Cessna´s plans at the moment. But the fact that such a reputable private aviation brand is developing a supersonic jet ought to lend some credence to the movement."
Cessna spokesman Doug Oliver said the report is not true.
"We are not designing a supersonic business jet," Oliver said.
Supersonic business jet concepts have been on drawing boards around the country for 20 years. Aerion emerged in 2004 as a player in the market as did Supersonic Aerospace International.
Long-term, the market for high-end business jets will likely be transformed by a supersonic business jet, Teal Group analyst Richard Aboulafia said in a forecast.Technology development has been an issue, especially for materials, engines and airframe shapes, Aboulafia said. But the main concern has been with market development, he said.With the steady expansion of the higher end of the traditional business jet market, if planemakers can offer a supersonic jet for $ 80 million to $ 90 million, he said, "they are likely to find a respectable market response."
Barents says the orders Aerion has taken so far validate its market research for acceptance of the plane. More than half of the orders are to overseas customers, including orders from Pakistan, the Middle East, Europe and South America.

Load State problem with ResampleWithDataset
I use ParaView to post-process ensight-gold files exported from Fluent.
One of the things I do is a ResampleWithDataset (using a plane as input).
As I have several similar cases, I wanted to have a saved state, so that I could apply it to quickly post-process any case.
The problem is with ResampleWithDataset. When I do "Load State", even with the original source file, ResampleWithDataset does not work - it has no data! Therefore, every filter "below" it do not have data neither. (But non-related filters work fine)
Is there any solution? Or am I misinterpreting the goal of Save/Load State?
Greetings Filipe,
It might depend on the ParaView version, in the sense that this is very likely a bug that may or may not have been fixed already... and if it hasn't been fixed yet, was either because a bug report has been filled out yet or because there isn't enough information for reproducing the bug :(
In essence, this isn't the first time I saw problems with the load state not being able to fully recreate a saved state.
When these kinds of issues arise, a way to go around this is to resort to Python scripts. The Python trace feature in ParaView should help setting up most of the base code, but some additional settings might have to be added manually to the resulting script: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_GUI_Tools#Trace
Another way is to select the tree of filters you've applied, right click on one of the selected items and click on "Create Custom Filter...". It will create a combo filter that can then be used for performing several operations in a single go.
Beyond this, if you can share an example case and steps, I can give it a try with various ParaView versions, to check if there is any version that doesn't have this particular bug.
Best regards,
Sorry for my late reply. I was out of my work, for the last weeks.
My problem was happening in the windows pc I have at work, so I followed the sugestion of trying different versions, and made the same procedure in my mac. It worked perfect! Thank you!
Concerning the case files, I will have to ask my professor if and which ones I can share...

News : Hoax Calls Outnumber Genuine Calls
#contactcenterworld, @108ambulance
Chennai, India, Nov. 2, 2015 -- More than half the calls received by the 108 Emergency Response Services this year in Tamil Nadu were nuisance calls and wrong, disconnected or silent calls. According to the Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project (TNHSP), the 108 Emergency Response Service, a free service that integrates medical, police and fire emergency services, received a total of 41,89,656 calls this year till August.
Of this, 26,31,023 calls (62.79 per cent) were 'ineffective'; and among them, hoax calls and disconnected ones constituted the majority.
According to Prabhu Doss, marketing head of TN 108 Emergency Response team, hoax calls were predominantly made by three category of people - young children, people under the influence of alcohol and the mentally challenged.
A TNHSP official pointed out that these hoax callers put the lives of others at risk as there might be disturbance in the bandwidth of emergency service lines, delaying assistance to genuine calls. Prabhu Doss added that young children during their holidays tend to use their parents' mobile phones to make hoax bomb or emergency calls for cheap thrills.
Call centre executives said sometimes the caller begin by remaining silent, but end up with a giggle before disconnecting. Also, people under the influence of alcohol mostly tend to abuse them or attempt to prank them.
The executives are trained to counsel callers, but if the call centre receives more than 10 prank or hoax calls from the same number, the number is temporarily blocked using an indigenous technology, the TNHSP official added.
Not all emergency calls are successful as some might get disconnected halfway through the conversation due to weak signal. However, the call centre executives try to get back on these calls, said Prabhu Doss.
"This is a global phenomenon; any emergency line, including 911 in the US and 999 in the UK, are prone to prank calls. The number of such calls have come down from 71 per cent to 62 per cent due to increased awareness," he added.

I want to fill my calling, to give the best in me
To guard my friend and neighbor and protect his property.
That's it... it's just what they do. While we grab our valuables, our favorite pictures, our beloved pets, and flee to safety, they run willingly into an unknown battle against a deadly foe. Their job... rescue everyone and put the fire out! Then return to the firehouse, worn and tired, maybe grab a nap, and wait for the next call. As we were reminded yesterday, that return is not always guaranteed. Yet, these men and women in boots and helmets, in towns and cities all over this country, ALWAYS jump in that rig and join that battle.
And if according to Your will, I must answer death's call,
bless with your protecting hand, my family one and all.
Ladder 15 and Engine 33 of the Boston Fire Department were among the first apparatus to reach 298 Beacon Street in yesterday's wind swept afternoon, a quick ride from their Boylston Street Firehouse. Lt. Ed Walsh of Engine 33 and FF Michael Kennedy of Ladder 15 raced into the basement with their brethren, where the fire was believed to have originated. Within three minutes, the men inside issued a mayday call and were ordered out. Walsh and Kennedy never made it out. They were both found trapped in that basement. Walsh, 43, leaves a wife and three children under the age of 10. Kennedy, 33, was single and a United States Marine combat veteran. In his off time, Kennedy volunteered with burn patients. Sacrifice was his way of life since he stepped on the yellow footprints at Paris Island.
It seems cliche to say about firefighters that any day they leave for work could be their last. Cliche, but true. That being said, regardless of the inherent risks, loved ones expect them to return. They have always returned. For the last 9 and a half years, Ed Walsh always came home. Mike Kennedy always came home. Last night, they did not. Walsh and Kennedy gave their lives to make their city safer. To them, and to the countless other men and women who don the helmet and boots and climb in the rig, we owe a debt of gratitude that can never be paid in full. But we can do our part.
|Heroes of the BFD say farewell to a fallen brother.

Arthur is now accelerating NNE up the eastern seaboard. Some rain bands will effect the U.S. east coast into early Saturday morning. The center of circulation will be close to Cape Cod tonight, but Arthur will be transforming into an extratropical cyclone. In fact satellite imagery shows the very beginning stages of that now as the eye is not as well represented on radar.
I have a slightly lower estimate of sustained wind as IMO that winds aren't quite as strong. In fact, I don't believe that this was ever a 100 mph - category 2 hurricane. If this were true winds should have been reported in the range of 115-120 mph. The strongest land station wind reported was 87 mph at Ft. Macon, NC. It's possible that stronger winds were seen over Cape Hatteras as the wind instrument stopped reporting after 71 mph.
Rainfall estimates were in the range of 2-4 inches in many areas of eastern North Carolina.
As of 8 am edt Arthur was centered at 36.7 N / 74.4 W or 110 miles ENE of Norfolk, VA. It was moving NE at about 21 mph. Top sustained winds estimated at 90 mph (100 mph NHC). Pressure was estimated at 976 MB.
Forecasts take Arthur just east of Cape Cod by midnight tonight then to southern Nova Scotia, Canada by Saturday morning.

NCAA Basketball Scholarships?
One recurring question that I receive at thebettergame.com is how do players inside and outside of the U.S. earn NCAA basketball scholarships?
The Answer…
Basketball, one of the most popular games of this era, is played by people of all ages. But at a certain point, players can decide if they want to pursue basketball further or just play for fun. If you are a player who decides to pursue basketball further, then the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) may be an important stop on your basketball journey.
NCAA basketball players are the best amateurs in the world. Of those players who secure a spot on an NCAA team, some players will then be invited to play professionally in Europe, but only a handful will make it to the NBA. I'm not here to talk about the odds and how possible it is.
I will just ask you the same question I asked myself: Is it impossible?
Nothing is impossible.
When I was in my late teens, I was told that it wasn't possible for me to attain any NCAA basketball scholarship. After a near-death experience with pneumonia, and as a resident of the U.K, I still received a few NCAA basketball scholarships.
Don't let anybody tell you can't do it, especially people who don't have the drive and ambition to make to the NCAA level themselves.
The Basics
There are 3 NCAA college levels, NCAA Division I, II, III. In most cases, if you are not a Division I prospect by your sophomore/junior year in high school, your chances of playing Division I are low. (Later I will show you how you can defeat those odds.) Before we get deeper into how to get a basketball scholarship, let's go over the structure of the NCAA and the eligibility requirements
How To Apply?
Currently, NCAA Division I and Division II schools offer more than $2.7 billion annually in sports scholarships and these scholarships benefit more than 150,000 student-athletes. The students looking for NCAA basketball scholarships must participate in basketball in their high schools, AAU and/or national league U18 teams to get seen. Students who excel in the game are then recruited by colleges. A student will then start college visits and register in the NCAA eligibility clearinghouse to be eligible.
The three divisions of the NCAA have different eligibility criteria. Students who are interested in NCAA basketball scholarships must know the different criteria for each division.
NCAA basketball scholarships have eligibility requirements to help one be prepared for success in the college classrooms; these are based on the high school academic records.
To play at a Division I school, the student-athlete must:
- Graduate from a high school.
- If registering before 1st August 2016, students must complete at least 16 core courses mentioned by the NCAA eligibility center. Your SAT score combined with your GPA will determine if you are eligible. Click here for more information.
- If applying after 1st August 2016, the player must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.3 and complete 10 core courses including Math, English and Natural/Physical Science. A player will not be able to repeat or replace any of these 10 courses to improve his/her GPA.
At Division II schools, must complete the steps above. If applying before 1st August 2018, players must complete 16 core courses with a minimum GPA of 2.0 and an SAT combined score of 820 (New 1600 scale) or ACT score of 68.
There are no Division III NCAA basketball scholarships, however; 75% of the student-athletes in Division III programs receive some financial support depending on academic records.
Other Important Information
In the NCAA eligibility center, GPA is calculated on a 4.00 scale. Here numerical scores are converted into the letter grades A, B, C and D and every grade has its own weighted value.
If your high school notifies the NCAA eligibility center, then grades for advanced placement or honors classes will be weighted accordingly.
There is no plus or minus grade. If you just pass a course then the NCAA assigns the lowest grade for that course as D. If you get an A then you will be given 4 points in that course. Similarly, for the grade B, C, and D you will be given 3, 2 and 1 point respectively.
For student-athletes applying from outside the U.S, your grades will be converted to a GPA to determine your status of eligibility.
Increasing Your Chance Of Getting NCAA Basketball Scholarships
Find A Team
Register with a team that will give you exposure; this can be your high school team, U18's team, a European pro team (where you are NOT being paid) or a summer team. If you really want exposure, play on every team mentioned above.
Although I started organized basketball at 16, which is very late, the team I played for during my time was one of the best youth teams in London and the whole U.K.
My team helped me attain exposure on a world stage, by not only playing in youth tournaments against players that are now big names in the NBA and Europe but by also playing NCAA Division I schools when they toured Europe.
Better Your Game
Practice and work on your game. Add more versatility to your offensive game and become a threat from any point on the court. Click here
Contact NCAA Affiliate Schools
If you are always waiting for someone to do something for you, then you will not get very far. Do it yourself!
Visit the websites of Division I schools and email all of the Head/Assistant Coaches.
Email them something like this:
Subject: NCAA Basketball Scholarships
Coach ABC,
My name is XYZ. I am an 18-year-old basketball player from London. I am interested in applying for NCAA basketball scholarships and playing for your program. I have my high school grades and I'm waiting on my SAT scores. What do I have to do to play for the University of ZXY?
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss my future as a Tiger.
Kind Regards
Almost all coaches responded with "Let us see some game tape and we can talk further."
Let's summarize this section before we move on:
- Research email addresses of the coaches at NCAA Division I and II schools or save time and go to a freelancer site Fiverr or Upwork and pay someone to collect all of the emails for you.
- Email all schools where you might be a fit.
- Send videotapes – your highlight reel- to coaches
Summer Camps
If you want good exposure attending a few summer camps is a must. I received NCAA interest letters because I attended basketball camps in the U.S. Go online and contact the organizers of the camps and ask if you can attend.
If you want it bad enough you will make it happen. I made a deal with my parents that if I came up with half of the total cost (transatlantic flight + camps) they would pay half. I worked 2 part-time jobs at the time, so I knew I would come up with the money. Get a job if it is necessary.
Watch NCAA Basketball
If you are looking for NCAA basketball scholarships, you should watch as many college games as possible. If you are in a country where they do not televise NCAA basketball games, go to The Better Game's youtube channel TheBetterGame24 and watch full NCAA basketball games. (Games courtesy of ESPN)
The tools you need to increase your chances of receiving NCAA basketball scholarships:
- Join multiple teams to ensure you are playing and being exposed all year round.
- Research the schools in which you are interested and make a list of all the coaches' emails or find a freelancer who can do so. Better your game! ( Practice )
- Attend summer camps.
- Prepare your own highlight reel.
- Get a job if necessary.
If you do all these things your chances of receiving NCAA basketball scholarships will be higher and you will be on your way to playing pro and getting a good education. Good Luck!

Convert AVI to MOV on a Mac (and Windows) – the Easiest Way of 2017
Converting AVI to MOV on a Mac and Windows is made possible with the use of automatic AVI converter software. By default, iPad, iPhone & iPod can only play specific movie types, like MOV. This post will show you how to convert AVI to MOV in 3 steps.
To watch your favourite AVI files on any of your iDevices, Apple makes you convert them to compatible formats. This develops a need for a media transformation software that is third-party. The app I'm going to recommend in this article is a "foot"that breaks Apple's format barrier. Besides lighting fast conversion, it's also easy to use and very user-friendly for those who simply want to put AVI files into their iPad or iPhone.
Here's an Easy Way to Convert AVI to MOV on a Mac (and Windows):
HEADS UP* Before we continue, I assume you're reading this because you have an iPad or iPhone right next to you that will be used to put AVI files on it right away. By right away I mean without even launching iTunes and doing any sync steps. To this date, with confidence I can say that this IS the only EASIEST and FASTEST way to upload AVI, MKV, MP4 & MOV files into your iOS device(iPad,iPhone,iPod Touch) using computer with Mac & Windows OS.
Step 1.Download WALTR & install it.Download WALTR for Free
Click on the button down below for the free download and then mount the downloaded Waltr.dmg
Then drag the WALTR icon to the 'Applications' folder as requested in the appeared window. If you're on a PC, simply proceed with the steps for installtion of WALTR after launcing the .exe file.
After you have done so, WALTR will automatically be installed on your Mac and you'll be able to launch it using from the 'Applications' folder or simply type in WALTR in the 'Spotlight'.
Step 2.Plug-in your device & open the folder with AVI files.
A window will pop up asking you for the AVI, MKV, MP4, MP3 files. In this case, we'll use an AVI format movie that will be in the iPad.
Step 3. Drag the AVI file and drop into WALTR's drop-zone.
Then wait until the process is finished.
:DONE! Can it be easier?
And also:don't know if you have anything to compare this with any other apps but the procedure was shockingly fast, right?
In Conclusion
It's a new decade with applications being created to make your life easier day by day. WALTR takes a few seconds to download. A few more seconds to install it. After that you're just 3 clicks away from WALTR's easy way to convert AVI to MOV on a Mac (and Windows). The secret is that this also puts the files directly into your iPad without even using iTunes. One less headache, right? 🙂
Usually if your an owner of a new Macbook or an iMac with Mavericks or Yosemite, Windows 8 – for your AVI conversion and upload needs, you're probably looking for an easy tool & preferably a free way to convert them and put them on your iPad.
There are a ton of solutions but what's the best one? This one. WALTR just takes away a few extra steps and doesn't make you worry about choosing the right format. The app guarantees that your iPad will play the AVI videos in the best quality possible. And did I mention that it will also be straight from your native Videos iOS app?
