Kitchenware store set to move out of the city (From Redditch Advertiser)

Kitchenware store set to move out of the city
4:10pm Saturday 21st September 2013 in News By James Connell
A POPULAR kitchenware company is to move out of Worcester after 15 years and relocate to a garden centre near Droitwich.
Lakeland in St Swithin's Street, Worcester, is to become a fixture at Webbs Garden Centre at Wychbold, near Droitwich, in the new year.
Lakeland was founded in the 1960s by Alan Rayner and has had a store in Worcester since 1998.
A spokesman for Lakeland said the move would involve no job losses and would, for a brief time, mean the shop at Worcester and at the garden centre would be open at the same time until the operation in Worcester was wound up.
A spokesman for Lakeland said: "It's a move of premises.
"Our lease is coming to an end in the city centre and, quite coincidentally, this fantastic premises at Webbs has become available.
"The Worcester city centre store is going to continue to trade into the new year and it will be there for Christmas shopping.
"Towards the end of the year the new premises will open in the garden centre.
"This is not the first time we have opened a store within a garden centre and we have four stores up and down the country which have done a similar thing. We feel that works really well for us and that is part of the reason for the move."
She said she was not aware of the size of the new premises or whether the new store would have an increased range of stock as it was still "early days" but said further information would be made available in due course.
She said: "There will be a cross-over period where both are trading and the existing store will continue to trade into next year.
"Once the new store is running in 2014 then it will be a relocation. We think there is a nice connection with customers who want to grow their own and using home-grown products to bake and preserve at home."

FREE Shipping! Orders Over $50 - Under 30lbs
"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

text: I was basically wondering, seen as Form has a boosting effect on the gonads could you use it in a simular way to HCG in the sense you could use it during the last week or two of your PH/PS cycle to boost natural test and ball weight a week before starting a serm? Or would it be more prudent to use the serm as normal then use the formastane a couple of weeks into the serm use and continue for two weeks or so after the serm use ceases. Thanks.

Originally in intensive care, Finley had been hospitalized since Sunday with a bruised spinal cord in his neck suffered on a collision in Green Bay's 31-13 win over Cleveland. The process for his recovery will continue as Finley has sought multiple medical opinions.
With Finley experiencing temporary numbness in his extremities, it was a scary sight Sunday.
Now, he's home and a long road to recovery will continue.

BLUEBERRY HILL BEACH COTTAGE - Town of Cape Elizabeth
One of the two beaches on the property that you can use
Reserve Property
Available for Reservations Online
24 hours a Day / 7 days a Week.
Property Information
LOCATION: Cape Elizabeth, South of Crescent Beach Looking over to Higgins Beach - Great Sandy Beaches Nearby
1st Floor- Kitchen with Dining Area (NOTE: Kitchen getting renovated for 2014 season), Living Room with Dining Area, Queen Bedroom with en suite clawfoot tub-shower bathroom, Full Bedroom, Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds, Shared Bathroom with Stall Shower with Laundry, Shared Bathroom with Stall Shower
2nd Floor- Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds
DOGS PERMITTED? Sorry, Dogs are NOT permitted at this property.
This beautiful oceanfront cottage overlooking Higgins Beach is located on the 2000 acre Sprague Family property founded in 1920 by Phineas Warren Sprague, who made his money in coal and oil. The land remains in the Sprague family for preservation purposes and to benefit the Sprague family. With miles of carriage trails and walking trails as well as several beaches, horse farms, and incredible views, there is much to explore on the parts of the property open to guests. All of the various homes on the property are still owned by Phineas`s descendants, and most are used as summer vacation homes. The houses are all separated by considerable distance, so privacy is easily obtainable.
Just a short 15 minute drive from the bustling City of Portland, you will find yourself winding down a road surrounded by fields and instantly feel at peace. Arriving at this nicely updated beach cottage (renovated and upgraded over the spring of 2009), you`ll be hard pressed to sit on the deck and watch the surfers over at Higgins Beach, or head out on your bike or by foot to see some of the incredible private beaches on the property after exploring the carriage trails.
This classic Maine cottage has the feelings of summers past with the comfort of todays standards. In addition to a deck that overlooks the bay, entering the cottage, you`ll find a living room and dining area that share the same spectacular view. This property is a perfect destination for those looking to get away. It is also a great property for biking, walking, and swimming or for card games at night and family/friend intimacy after long fun days in the sun and at the beach. However,if you want to experience Maine`s largest city, you can be down in the Old Port of Portland shopping or bar hopping within 15 minutes.
BEACH CLASSIFICATION: We have categorized this property as having or being near a sandy beach. More specifically for this property - there is a sandy beach in a river outlet a 3 minute walk away, and another amazing beach about a 10 minute walk or just a 2 minute drive away. There is not an actual usable sandy beach directly in front of the cottage, but the nearby beaches are great for kids and that is why we have classified it as being on or in this case - near a sandy beach.

text: The title of this episode translates as "Blank Slate," which is as good a way as any to describe what the 48 survivors of a mid-air plane crash truly know and understand about one another as they acclimate themselves to their new Pacific-island surroundings. Almost as mysterious as the strange topography and stranger wildlife of the island is the clouded past of Kate (Evangeline Lilly), who, it is revealed through flashback, was a recently a fugitive on the run. Only one passenger, who may be dying, knows her secret...until he passes it on to two other survivors. Meanwhile, the mysterious Locke (Terry O'Quinn) forms a bond with young Walt (Malcolm David Kelley), much to the dismay of Walt's father, Michael (Harold Perrineau). ~ Rovi

Recipe by LILFOODCRITIC
"Exotic flavors blend together to create this crowd-pleasing favorite. Contains pineapple, ham, peas, green onion and eggs."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 green onions, thinly sliced including tops
1 cup diced ham
1/2 cup peas
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup soy sauce
This is a good recipe although I've tweaked it around to make it just like in our favorite Thai restaurant: add chicken and/or shrimp as well as the ham. I season the chicken with oyster sauce and some cinnamon. We also add cashew nuts and use mixed veggies, not just peas. Our favorite restaurant adds some cherry tomatoes, but we're not whole-tomato-people in our house, so I skip that part, although tomato lovers might find it a good addition. Also, I get pineapple chunks in 100% pineapple juice, and when I drain the pineapple I DO keep the juice. I then mix up about half of it with the soy sauce and add it to the rice. We rather use a bit more soy sauce and less (or no) salt. And finally, a trick I learned from my mom: I don't use the sesame oil to stir fry. For that I use regular vegetable oil or cooking spray made of real oil. But I do sprinkle sesame oil at the end, for better aroma.
eh, it was ok, but not great. good things-- you can use up your leftovers, and also it is a simple dish to make.

So good! I used jasmine rice and cooked it with coconut milk instead of water. I also substituted shrimp for the ham and added raisins and cashews. Yummy. My husband raved and raved about it- thank you for the recipe!
This was a real hit at our house. I cooked the rice in the rice cooker. I omitted the salt as the soy is very salty. I added yellow and red bell peppers. Very good.
This was very good. When I boiled the rice I added the pineapple juice and a little soy to the water. Also I use ponzu instead of regular soy sauce, and some grape tomatoes, chicken, shrimp and the ham. Make a lot, you'll love the leftovers later. Thanks.
This was pretty good. I made a few modifications. Chicken instead of ham. Omitted the onions. Twice as much peas and pineapple. Two eggs. And some carrots. A yummy alternative to normal fried rice.
Oh so good! I used chicken, regular onions, and frozen mixed vegetables. Totally scored bonus points with the fiance! Thank you for the recipe.
This was very good. Next time, I will cut back on the amount of soy sauce, skip the sugar, and not drain the pineapple. I may ruin it, but I think it will give me a smoother flavor.

- The Integrated Size and Price Optimization problem (2012)
- We present the Integrated Size and Price Optimization Problem (ISPO) for a fashion discounter with many branches. Based on a two-stage stochastic programming model with recourse, we develop an exact algorithm and a production-compliant heuristic that produces small optimality gaps. In a field study we show that a distribution of supply over branches and sizes based on ISPO solutions is significantly better than a one-stage optimization of the distribution ignoring the possibility of optimal pricing.
- Computational Bounds for Elevator Control Policies by Large Scale Linear Programming (2013)
- We computationally assess policies for the elevator control problem by a new column-generation approach for the linear programming method for discounted infinite-horizon Markov decision problems. By analyzing the optimality of given actions in given states, we were able to provably improve the well-known nearest-neighbor policy. Moreover, with the method we could identify an optimal parking policy. This approach can be used to detect and resolve weaknesses in particular policies for Markov decision problems.

Human Capital:
Opportunities to Improve Federal Continuity Planning Guidance
GAO-04-384, Apr 20, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3604
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Federal agencies must have the capacity to serve the public during disruptions to normal operations. This depends, in part, on continuity efforts that help agencies marshal, manage, and maintain their most important asset--their people, or human capital. GAO identified the human capital considerations relevant to federal continuity efforts; described efforts by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to address these considerations relevant to continuity of operations (COOP); and described the role Federal Executive Boards (FEB) play in coordinating such efforts outside Washington, D.C.
According to recognized experts from the private and public sectors, continuity efforts should give priority to the immediate aftermath of a crisis--securing the safety of all employees and addressing the needs of employees who perform essential operations. However, experts noted that additional human capital considerations, especially those associated with the majority of an organization's employees who would be needed to resume all other operations, are also crucial and have not been well developed by many public and private sector organizations. To more fully address human capital considerations, experts identified two human capital principles that should guide all continuity efforts--demonstrating sensitivity to individual employee needs and maximizing the contributions of all employees--and six key organizational actions designed to enhance continuity efforts. FEMA and OPM have exhibited leadership in addressing human capital considerations relevant to COOP, but opportunities to improve exist. For example, while both agencies have issued guidance that addresses securing the safety of all employees and responding to the needs of personnel performing essential operations, neither agency's guidance addresses human capital considerations related to resuming broader agency operations. Although not specifically tasked with coordinating emergency preparedness efforts, including COOP, FEBs are uniquely positioned to do so, given their general responsibility for improving coordination among federal activities in areas outside of Washington, D.C. While some FEBs already play an active role in coordinating such efforts, the current context in which FEBs operate, including the lack of a clearly defined role and varying capacities among FEBs, could lead to inconsistent levels of preparedness across the nation.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Director of OPM should develop and provide additional emergency preparedness guidance to more fully address human capital considerations by incorporating the six organizational actions identified in this report.
Agency Affected: Office of Personnel Management
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: OPM increased the guidance available to more fully address human capital considerations identified in the report by collaborating with FEMA to revise Federal Preparedness Circular 65 and included an Human Capital Annex the circular which was released in June 2004; released a Federal Employee's Emergency Guide in August 2005; released a Federal Manager's/Decision Maker's Emergency Guide in August 2005; released a Guide to Telework in the Federal Government in August 2006; released Human Capital Planning For A Pandemic Flu Episode in August 2006; released a Handbook on Pay and Leave Benefits for Federal Employees Affected by Severe Weather Conditions or Other Emergency Situations in July 2007; and released a memorandum from Director Springer to the heads of executive departments and agencies on the subject of HR Flexibilities Available to Assist Federal Employees Affected by Severe Weather Conditions or Other Emergency Situations in July 2007.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Under Secretary for Emergency Preparedness and Response to complete efforts to revise federal COOP guidance to more fully address human capital considerations by incorporating the six organizational actions identified in this report.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security: Directorate of Emergency Preparedness and Response
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Department of Homeland Security did not revise federal continuity of operations (COOP) guidance to incorporate all six organizational actions identified in the report. FEMA did issue a new FPC 65 in June 2004. The new guidance included an annex on human capital that was not available in the circular it superseded. The additional guidance partially addresses the recommendation; however, it does not provide guidance on enabling employees associated with resumption activities, as opposed to essential operations, to contribute to mission results.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Under Secretary for Emergency Preparedness and Response to expand the definition of a COOP event in federal guidance to recognize that severe emergencies requiring COOP implementation can include people-only events.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security: Directorate of Emergency Preparedness and Response
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FEMA issued a new FPC 65 in June 2004 superseding previous guidance. The revisions included highlighting that COOP is to address all-hazard emergencies. The objectives of COOP were restated to include "all-hazard", which was not in the previous guidance. In addition, the section on planning considerations was revised to include "all-hazard risk assessments". The agency responsibilities were restated to include "all-hazard preparedness". In addition, in March 2006, FEMA released Continuity of Operations (COOP) Pandemic Guidance. This guidance noted that "FEMA has concluded that planning for a pandemic requires a state of preparedness that is beyond traditional Federal Government COOP planning". The guidance notes that the COOP planning for pandemic would alternatives to staff relocation/co-location such as social distancing in the workplace through telecommuting or other means. The FEMA guidance available to agencies now includes an emphasis of all-hazard emergencies and has provided additional guidance for a pandemic tailoring the COOP guidance to this people-only event.
Recommendation: The Director of OPM should determine the desired role for FEBs to play in improving coordination of emergency preparedness efforts, including COOP, and identify and address FEB capacity issues to meet that role. It would be appropriate for FEBs to be formally incorporated into federal emergency preparedness guidance, including COOP guidance, for areas outside of Washington, D.C.
Agency Affected: Office of Personnel Management
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On August 1, 2008, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to better define the role of the federal executive boards (FEB) in emergency preparedness activities. The MOU states that the FEBs and FEMA will work together in carrying out their respective roles and strengthen their existing teamwork in the area of continuity activities by working together, and with member agencies, on the dissemination of continuity guidance and the development, training, and exercising of continuity plans with member departments and agencies. OPM also identified and addressed FEB continuity issues by winning approval from the Office of Management and Budget in February 2008 to implement a new funding mechanism for the FEBs nationwide. The new funding mechanism established a mandatory charge to be paid by the agencies served by a particular board, ensuring a steady source of funding for the FEBs.

perhaps some are politics weary, it's on news, in the papers, and as many are having nightmares as to how to pay for christmas, and get through it without too much upset, their priorities may be elsewhere.
no. probably not a record, but people were too busy xmas shopping/hiding inside from the rain. 8.8% swing to labour, tho...shows people are getting fed up with cameron's 'tinkering'.
Might have some useful info, but not the exact answer. The DM claims it to be the lowest turn out: http://www.dailymail....seat-West-London.html |
Also, it was dark, cold and wet yesterday evening - it can ruin the whole thing.
Thanks Ankou.
the dm will claim anything if they think people will believe it. the sooner people realise it is actually a comic, the better.
lowest for 11 years; not too surprising when you hold it in the middle of winter.
Many now realise that in constituencies as populated as they are, your single vote means next to nothing. Some find it difficult to convince themselves they would be doing more than just 'going through the motions' with no real say, so if they are busy with something else, and especially if they don't see any likelihood of change, the turnout is inevitably low. I'm unsure what the answer is though, it is a problem for large groups.
It's interesting to note though that the accepted wisdom is that the lower the turnout, the worse it is for Labour. The result therefore must say something about the electorate's view of the current government.
rojash, perhaps all governments, seeing how many from all sides of the house, had their hand in the tills, and trust is something the electorate have lost in their politicians.
It was a strong Labour seat, so Tories and LibDem supporters didn't bother turning out for nothing.

Gromit, presumably you could equally make the case "it was a strong Labour seat, so Labour supporters didn't bother turning out as they knew they would win anyway."
Well I follow the news and politics quite closely and I didn't even know there was a by-election until I heard the news today - though admittedly I don't live in the constituency.
And 10 days before Christmas, in a non-marginal, too. I'm surprised the turnout was that high. Still, I'll drink to an 8 per cent swing to Labour in an already safe seat. Roll on the election! |

Have to agree with em10 here . It is a shame after the struggles of the working class and women to obtain representation .
"Make voting compulsory and fine non voters - revenue?"
That will never happen. If you force people to vote you will get people voting for stupid candidates out of spite. It's a shame more people don't care, but I'd rather it was the people who DO care making their choices than having ballots stuffed with a lot of ignorant votes. And sometimes people DO tiurn out who otherwise might not, in a good cause - look at the Barking result in the General election when locals turned out in their thousands to vote againd Nick Griffin. Bit there are other examples, good and bad. |

The Q10 looks similar to the once-popular BlackBerry Bold, which was introduced in 2009 and was the last phone to run on the company's old operating system. It will have both a classic physical keyboard and a small touch screen and will run on RIM's new operating system, BlackBerry 10. Carriers and retailers are advertising the device at roughly $200 with a multiyear plan, putting it in line with other high-end devices on the market.
RIM is counting on keyboard-loving users like Ms. Cheng to snap up the new model. There is still a big market out there for keyboard-equipped smartphones, and RIM dominates it. The big problem: It is shrinking fast.
Last year, IDC estimated that the world-wide keyboard smartphone market was 62.8 million units, down from 100.2 million units in 2011. RIM's share of that market is 47%, according to IDC.

The market for touch-screen-only phones, meanwhile, jumped from 372 million units in 2011 to 650.1 million units last year, according to IDC. RIM's share of that pie: 3%.
RIM executives say they understand the shift. That is why they chose to roll out the all-touch Z10 ahead of the Q10, they say. RIM can count on a loyal following of keyboard-using customers, but it had to make an extra push for its touch-screen device. Chief Executive Thorsten Heins also said RIM knew the all-touch Z10 was probably better suited to succeed in the exploding "bring-your-own-device" market, in which workers are increasingly using their personal phones for work.
Still, the decision baffled some customers and carriers.
"I do wish they came out with [the Q10] first or at the same time," Ms. Cheng says. "I think a lot of people are on the fence and want a new phone, and they may have made their decision already. I don't know why it took so long."
When RIM told carrier partners months ago that it would be launching the Z10 first, carrier executives expressed disappointment that both phones wouldn't be coming out at the same time, according to people familiar with the matter. When they asked for clarification about the staggered-launch strategy, RIM executives didn't elaborate, according to these people.
"Our approach to launching BlackBerry 10 was to focus first on bringing our all-touch BlackBerry Z10 smartphone to market, and then follow with the 'qwerty' BlackBerry Q10," a RIM spokesman said in a statement.
Since that launch schedule was relayed to carriers, the Q10 rollout has slipped a bit. It was originally scheduled to launch about eight weeks after the Z10. When the Q10 arrives in the U.K. and Canada at the end of this month, the gap between phone launches will be roughly 12 weeks.
One reason for the delay is that RIM has had a tougher time than it expected formatting the new operating system to the smaller Q10 screen, according to a person close to the company. When performing functions on the screen, "The initial thought was, 'Oh, we'll just scrunch it down,'" according to this person. "But you end up with very little screen real estate. They have had to redesign apps [for the Q10] without truly redesigning them, and that's really hard. It's taken longer than anticipated."
A RIM spokesman said it is "delivering the BlackBerry Q10 according to our stated plans."
Sales of the Z10 have been decent in some global markets. RIM says it sold one million Z10s in the last quarter, and executives have called the U.K. and Canada launches of the Z10 the company's "best ever." But the U.S. launch hasn't looked as strong.

A World of Panes
Window graphics have emerged as a key advertising medium, particularly for retail firms. Print providers focusing on the niche know how valuable their output is for clients aiming to put promotions right in front of patrons' eyes.
Window graphics have emerged as a key advertising medium, particularly for retail firms. Print providers focusing on the niche know how valuable their output is for clients aiming to put promotions right in front of patrons' eyes.
"It's a major component of the retail campaign at street level," said Steve Kinney, vice-president of sales and marketing with Portland Color, a 30-year-wide large-format printing company in Portland, ME. "If it's done well and done right, and I'm speaking of the creative execution, not just the materials used, you're bringing people off the street and into the store with the message you convey."
Window graphics can be a profit center for your shop as well. But gaining those profits requires surmounting a learning curve, grasping the challenges of installation and fending off rival providers in an ever-more-competitive field.
Before exploring obstacles on the way to success, let's examine some good reasons to step into the crowded realm of wide-format imaging.
One of the upsides is that window graphics, due to their changeable nature, can provide a very steady flow of revenues, said Chris Shadix, president of Belaire Displays, Inc., a 51-year-old family-owned company in Richmond, CA whose business is 50 percent comprised of window displays and graphics.
"It's always a changing landscape," he said. "We refer to it as temporary graphics. People dress their windows for a season, or for a promotion. So from a shop standpoint, it represents repeat business from the same retail base."
Kinney agrees window graphics are something many print providers' clients must acquire on a consistent basis. "Window graphics are a key element in any brand position or new campaign," he said. "A very large part of the campaign's presence is having that window to attract the customer."
There's also gratification derived from seeing your product splashed across a major retailer's window, Shadix added. "It's exciting to see your stuff up in retail space, and exciting adding to your clients' appeal to their customers."
Moreover, this is another niche where client demand is increasing even as the technology grows more efficient. So said Harlan Roberts, Phoenix-based national sales manager with Big Mountain Imaging of Philadelphia, which bills itself as "a complete solutions provider" for its large and grand-format clients.
Retail signage is among the fastest growing segments of the industry, and the equipment available to produce it is getting better and faster, Roberts said.
An example is the company's newly-acquired Vutek QS3200, a seven-color flatbed printer, which offers the flexibility to quickly change graphics. That efficiency makes for outstanding quality with little wasted effort.
"Window graphics can be extremely profitable if done right the first time," Roberts said. "They are eye-catching and an easy sell to any client trying to make a great impression utilizing a visual medium."
Overcoming the Hurdles
Garnering great results and lots of repeat business is seldom achieved overnight, however. That's the word from Terry Calen, special projects manager at Stella Color, a 26-year-old Seattle, WA provider where window graphics, including window banners, comprise 30 to 40 percent of the business.
Installation is one challenge, and one approached differently at different shops that provide window graphics. "Installation can be tricky," Calen said. "If you're covering the entire window, and it's seamed...It can be hard to install. We work with specific installers we know. They're not on staff here, but we know them. There are one or two people here locally who are excellent. And then we have people around the country we've sought out and found to be very good."
Shadix agreed. "You can make the greatest thing in the world, and if it's not installed right, it still looks like junk," he said. "[Clients are] going to need some help in the early stages. That might mean providing the installers for them, and it might mean providing an educational center or instruction sheets."

A firmware download is only required for those boards that use the Stallion stli driver. This includes the EasyConnection 8/64, ONboard and Brumby families of boards. Different board types require different firmware images. If the wrong firmware is loaded into a board it will fail to operate. The Stallion EasyConnection 8/64 Host Adapter PCI cards DO NOT require firmware to be loaded. The download process is achieved through the Stallion stli driver control device, /dev/staliomem?. This device implements a file type device that can read and write into the boards shared memory region. It also imple- ments a number of special ioctls that reset and restart the board. The options are: -v Verbose output generation.
