Staying Competitive
Over the years, competitive pricing has changed the way asphalt paving contractors do business. In many cases, it has made them rethink their processes and equipment in hopes of becoming more efficient and profitable.That's exactly what Frattalone Paving Inc. in St. Paul, Minn., has done. The asphalt paving company, which was founded in 1995, has discovered ways to keep up with the changing industry by adding compact equipment and attachments to increase efficiency. With efficiency comes saved time and money, which has allowed them to stay competitive.
How It All Began
Frattalone Paving Inc. has grown considerably since its beginnings. It was the brainchild of Frank Frattalone, a businessman with an already successful excavating company who thought the natural progression was to add an asphalt paving company. Enlisting the financial backing of four investors, he hired six employees to run the day-to-day operations of the asphalt paving company, which would come to specialize in road, parking lot, and park trail construction and reconstruction.
Today, Frattalone Paving, which is now owned by Chad Nelson and Leroy Jelen, has a total of 50 employees. Not only has its ownership changed, but so has the equipment it uses to complete asphalt paving jobs. There was a time when Frattalone Paving's equipment fleet consisted of mostly larger dedicated machines, including dozers, loaders, and backhoes. But as newer asphalt paving companies entered the market submitting competitive bids in hopes of building a clientele, Frattalone Paving owners knew they needed to perform faster and better in order to stay ahead of the pack.
To accomplish this, they decided to look at incorporating compact equipment, thinking they could save money and complete jobs faster if they had a tool carrier and several attachments, rather than four to five separate machines on each job. So the company purchased its first piece of compact equipment, a Bobcat® 863 skid-steer loader with a planer attachment, says Gary Owen, shop manager for Frattalone Paving. "Whether it's cleaning up or preparing the job for paving, compact equipment is a necessary thing nowadays because it's portable and a lot more cost-efficient than the equipment we used in the past," he says.
Owen, who was hired in 2000 to oversee the company's equipment, says they now have a total of 10 Bobcat skid-steer loaders, including four 863s, three 763s, two 773s, and a newer S220. In order to realize the full benefit of the equipment, the company also has bought several attachments, including planers, wheel saws, pallet forks, landplanes, sweepers, buckets, snow blades, a tiller, and an auger. Owen says there isn't a crew that goes out without a skid-steer loader and a set of attachments matched with the type of work they'll be doing.
"We use the Bobcat skid-steer loaders for every job pretty much," he says. "The equipment cuts down on our manual labor."
Finding Ways to Increase Efficiency
The skid-steer loaders are most commonly used for cutting and milling, especially when doing street repair work and paving parking lots, Owen says.
Recently, Frattalone Paving crews completed a street repair project for the City of Lakeville in which they used four Bobcat skid-steer loaders with planer attachments. The crews were responsible for preparing the streets for the paving crew, which entailed using the planer attachments for milling the street edges and around the manholes. The company owns about a half-dozen planer attachments in several different sizes, including 2, 4, 16, and 18 inches in width.
"With the technology nowadays, we can actually go in there and just mill down a couple of inches because of the variable depth control on them," Owen says. "It's a huge benefit. We can get the exact height that we need to make it a smooth surface."
When hired to perform street patchwork, Owen says they start off by using a skid-steer loader with a wheel saw to cut a square in the asphalt, which they then dig out with a bucket attachment. Once the damaged asphalt is removed, soil corrections are performed. "There's usually a bad spot in the asphalt roadway for a reason, so we take out some of the bad soil underneath, whether it's clay or some other type of soil," he says.
If water exists under a large area being repaired, crews will use the skid-steer loaders with a trencher attachment to install drain tiles, which help prevent the water from settling under the asphalt. After the hole is backfilled and graded with dirt, Owen says crews use the skid-steer loaders to place and grade asphalt over the hole.
Even though the hole may be repaired, Owen says their job doesn't stop there. Part of Frattalone Paving's success has come from word of mouth and the good reputation they've earned for not only completing jobs efficiently and better than their competition, but for also leaving jobsites just as clean or cleaner than when they arrived. To accomplish this, each crew also is furnished with a sweeper attachment when they head out for the day. The sweeper saves time by quickly collecting and dumping dirt and debris from streets, parking lots, and sidewalks while traveling in both forward and reverse.
"We use the sweeper because we just don't take our material and flick it off to the side. We take our material and dispose of it properly," Owen says. "So when we leave a job, there are no sweepings on the ground."
The increasing number of attachments that have become available in recent years has made it possible for Frattalone Paving to take on more work while keeping costs down. The attachments also help the company get more out of its skid-steer loaders. Because the loaders have an optional high-flow hydraulic system, Owen says operators have improved performance when using the planers, landplanes, wheel saws, and trenchers, enabling them to complete jobs faster.
"Our biggest money-saver is the high-flow attachments," he says. "It's a huge necessity for us. We can't, and we won't, buy a machine without high-flow hydraulics."
Another important attachment feature is the over-the-tire tracks, which enable Owen to transform three of the company's skid-steer loaders into track loaders. Each dirt grading crew receives a loader with over-the-tire tracks, which are especially beneficial when doing dirt grading for trail paving projects. Oftentimes, trail paving projects are located in hard-to-reach areas near streams and rivers that make for wet and muddy ground conditions. In such cases, Owen says they need the traction and minimal ground disturbance that a loader with tracks provides. "Our grading crews prefer the over-the-tire tracks because they're always driving over various types of soils, and they need the stability," he says.
When working on trail system and parking lot paving projects, both maneuverability and visibility become critical. Owen says they've found that with many trail paving projects they can maneuver within confined areas they wouldn't even be able to access with larger equipment. The Bobcat loaders also provide above-par visibility when performing street and parking lot repairs. "Since we're working in areas with a lot of vehicles, and in some cases, at schools with children, visibility is of utmost importance to us," he says.
Not only is visibility an important safety feature, but poor visibility can also lead to costly mistakes. "If you're milling an area and you cut it too deep, you're going to have to add more asphalt to fill it up. And you'll have to pay for that extra material, which means money is coming out of your pocket," Owen says.
Above all else, Owen says having reliable compact equipment keeps them in business. Without reliability, you can't be efficient. And every winter, the reliability of the Bobcat loaders is put to the test when they're used for snow removal. Because Frattalone Paving is based in Minnesota, weather allows them to pave about seven months of the year. In the off-season, the company sends out its 10 skid-steer loaders with buckets and snow blades to remove snow. Owen says his crews are never late to jobs because the loaders start in the coldest of cold.
"The reliability of these machines saves you money," Owen says. "You're not making money when your machine's sitting down with three guys staring at it."

This work is a collaboration between Yoshitomo NARA and Hiroshi Sugito. The piece is framed and in excellent condition with very nice, bright colors.
Japanese contemporary artist Yoshitomo Nara (b.1959 in Hirosaki) has earned national and international fame with his distinctive style that draws on both classical Japanese woodcuts and pulp/pop comics. Using children as metaphors for the decline of society, Nara expresses contemporary concerns towards an unknown future through images of wide-eyed kids posed in adult situations. Nara earned his BFA in 1985 and MFA in 1987 from the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, Nagakute Aichi, Japan Nara's work has been extensively exhibited throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States and was celebrated in a mid-career Retrospective at Japan's Yokohama Museum of Art in 2001, which additionally held a solo show of his work in 2012. His work has also been the subject of recent solo exhibitions at Asia Society and Museum, New York, NY (2011); Pace Prints, New York, NY (2010); Tomio Koyama Gallery, Tokyo, Japan (2010); Galerie Zink, Munich, Germany (2008); Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, CA (2008); and Museum voor Actuele Kunst, The Hague, Scheveningen, Netherlands (2007).

I used a free online image editing app called Pixlr to achieve this effect, but you can do much the same thing in other software, such as Photoshop or GIMP.
Of course, you don't need to use family photos. We'll even discuss how to insert your family members into exciting action scenes or far-flung landscapes. It's your coloring book, so you can choose the story! Even better, why not let the kids decide?
I'm going to talk through this process in a lot of detail, but that's only so that a complete beginner will feel comfortable. Don't be intimidated by the number of steps; you can actually complete the project in about 5 minutes!
Step 1: Choose a photo
If you're planning to edit any of the people in your photo onto another background, it helps if the original photo is taken against a fairly plain background. For example, you could start by photographing your kids fiercely brandishing toy swords in front of a blank wall, then edit them onto a pirate ship background later!
Save whichever photos you want to use to an easy-to-find file on your computer.
Step 2: Open Pixlr
Pixlr is a free online app that lets you edit photos without having to download any software or pay any fees. It's extremely easy to use, but also sophisticated enough to let you achieve some astonishing photo effects.
Click where it says "Open photo editor" then click on "Open image from computer" and select the photo you want to use.
Step 3: A quick overview of Pixlr's layout
On the right, you'll see a box labelled Navigator. This lets you zoom in and out of the photo and move around when you're zoomed in.
Below that is Layers. This is one of Pixlr's cleverest features. Pixlr lets you stack multiple images on top of each other, then edit them all individually, a bit like making a collage. In this collage, however, you can choose to make the different layers change size, become transparent, or even act as complex filters for the layers below them. Don't worry, we'll come back to that.
Under that is History, which just shows a list of all the recent actions you've performed in Pixlr. If you've made a mistake, you can skip back in your History to before you made it. Think of it as having multiple Undo buttons.
OK, you're now a Pixlr pro! We're all set to get editing!
Step 4: Make it black and white
Step 5: Duplicate the layer
You should now see a new layer called Background copy.
Step 6: Invert the new layer
Step 7: Fancy trickery
At the moment, the layer called Background copy should by in Normal mode. Use the drop-down menu to change it to Add mode. Everything in your image should turn white. Don't panic! That's what we wanted.
Step 8: Blur the top layer
A slider called Amount should appear. Try dragging this back and forth to see what happens. The outline of your image should become visible, starting as a thin tracing when Amount is low and turning into softer, thicker strokes as you increase it.
Adjust the slider to a medium point at which you can clearly tell what the image is, but the lines appear neither pencil-thin nor extremely soft and blurry.
Step 9: Flatten the image
Step 10: Use Levels to adjust the softness
Select Adjustment --> Levels. A graph like this should appear.
Step 11: Move the black slider
Step 12: Move the other sliders
Congratulations! You've made your coloring book image!
Step 13: Save and print
Tips on saving: Sometimes Pixlr will save an image without putting the .jpg extension at the end of it. When you save an image to your computer, quickly try opening it in another window. If you cannot open it, save it again but this time type .jpg at the end of the name.
Step 14: That wasn't so complicated!
Step 15: Advanced lessons
I thought our volunteer enjoy having a thrilling adventure story to color in, so I decided to put him on a desert island with a treasure chest. A quick Google search for beach and treasure chest revealed some useful images, which I saved and opened in Pixlr.
Step 16: Turn your images into outlines
Step 17: Put everything into one image
I then used Edit --> Free Transform to change the sizes and positions of each individual element.
Step 18: Trim the images

The first 16 steps went well, but I got lost on step 17. I was unable to drag one layer into the other. Can you give more detailed instructions for that step? Thanks!
Thank you so much for this step-by-step guide. I'm doing a project for work and you made it SO MUCH EASIER. I expected WEEKS to be spent trying to figure out how to do what I wanted to do. Instead, in 20 minutes, I had exactly what I wanted.
How do you do step 7 in Photoshop? Everything else is the same, but there is no 'mode' selection as such. Thanks.
It's called linear dodge in photoshop. So once you double click on the image Choose blend mode and select linear dodge.
How do you do step 7 in Photoshop? Everything else is the same, but there is no 'mode' selection as such. Thanks.
At last i found the the steps to turn my daughters images into a drawing book :)
Thanks to you .. I will know make it more creative..
This is was the image i exercised on .. but i will add another images in a more creative way..
I really hope she was wearing a Halloween costume when that photo was taken. If you can actually see her bones, you might have the flash on your camera set a bit too bright...
I sorted out the problem of finding colouring pages with different cartoon heroes.
My brother endlessly colours them in, but our cartoon and film tastes are unusual, and even popular heroes like Bob the Builder rarely have more than five colouring pages. (Try finding a picture of Judy Garland as Dorothy to colour).
Both of them have EXCELLENT "trace" tools for turning raster images into crisp and beautiful solid lines. For inkscape, see:
http://inkscape.org/doc/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html (tutorial)
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tools#Vectorize.2Ftrace (alternatives)
Very readable instructable...I appreciated the way you broke it down into manageable steps, with screenshots.
I was looking Paint or (color by numbers) kind of help , and somewhat this is right way.
Is there any way numbering to colors on screen then print out black & white copy and use it just as paint by numbers picture on canvas or paper.?

(Great advice): There is one piece of advice that's always worked for me both online and offline. Whenever you meet someone famous, just STAY COOL. They're just human beings like you. If they have an 'attitude', then they're not the type of influencer you'd want to connect with. Influencers worth connecting with are those who understand the power of being useful to others, no matter how 'small' you might be.
Mike Allen's curator insight,

Influencers are sector specific, want to stay ahead and are only 2% or so of the population. They are the gateway to influence the rest, but not unless their immediate followers pick it up

Putin's Gambit: How the EU Lost Ukraine
The inability of European bureaucrats to keep up with the Kremlin's manipulations -- or Kiev's political calculations -- has cost the EU a trade deal with Ukraine, and severely damaged its foreign policy.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's decisive move came on Nov. 9. That day, after years of courtship, and several months of promises and threats, he met with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych at a military airport near Moscow. The meeting was so clandestine the Russians initially denied that it had taken place at all.
After giving temporary asylum to whistleblower Edward Snowden and brokering a deal to have Syria give up its chemical weapons, it was Putin's third recent victory over the West, albeit probably not a permanent one. After all, Yanukovych's agreement with Putin is a marriage of convenience, not a marriage of love.
Europe's 'Eastern Partnership' Dream
This tug-of-war began four years ago, when the EU proposed an "eastern partnership" with Ukraine as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Belarus. The EU offered cooperation, free trade and financial contributions in exchange for democratic reforms. Officials in Brussels spoke enthusiastically about the emergence of an historic Eastern European policy not unlike former German Chancellor Willy Brandt's rapprochement with the Warsaw Pact countries in the 1970s. The planned partnership agreements were intended to facilitate visa-free travel, reduce tariffs and introduce European norms. The only thing that was not offered was EU membership.
The EU's other goal, even though it was not as openly expressed, was to limit Russia's influence and define how far Europe extends into the east. For Russia, the struggle to win over Ukraine is not only about maintaining its geopolitical influence, but about having control over a region that was the nucleus of the Russian empire a millennium ago. The word Ukraine translates as "border country," and many feel the capital Kiev is the mother of all Russian cities.
This helped create Cold War-style grappling between Moscow and Brussels. The Russian president, hardened by his fights in the Kremlin, is more adept than EU bureaucrats at manipulating people with venality and affections. None of the top European politicians made a serious effort to win over Ukraine, with neither German Chancellor Angela Merkel nor European Commission President José Manuel Barroso flying to Kiev to convince its wavering president.
'Unprecendented Pressure' from Russia
"I believe the unprecedented pressure from the Russians was the decisive factor," says former Polish Prime Minister and intermediary Aleksander Kwasniewski. "The Russians used everything in their arsenal." Elmar Brok, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the European Parliament, says: "Yanukovych kept all options open until the end, so as to get the best possible deal."
The official reason for the agreement's failure is Yulia Tymoshenko, the opposition politician who has been in prison for the last two years. The EU had made her release a condition of the agreement. Yanukovych was unwilling to release his former rival, and last week the parliament in Kiev failed to approve a bill that would have secured her release.
But then there are the financial incentives. In the end, the Russian president seems to have promised his Ukrainian counterpart several billion euros in the form of subsidies, debt forgiveness and duty-free imports. The EU, for its part, had offered Ukraine loans worth 610 million ($827 million), which it had increased at the last moment, along with the vague prospect of a 1 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Yanukovych chose Putin's billions instead.
The EU had been banking on its radiant appeal, and on its great promise of prosperity, freedom and democracy, but now Brussels must confront the fact that, for the first time, an attempt at rapprochement was rebuffed because the price was wrong. "If Yanukovych doesn't want to make a deal, then he simply doesn't want to," says Brok.
Battle of the Unions
The EU's eastern partnership had gotten off to a rocky start even before the Ukrainian incident. Belarus dashed the EU's hopes it would join when protesters were violently suppressed after the reelection of President Alexander Lukashenko in 2010. Armenia called off an association agreement with the EU this September.
In the case of Ukraine, it initially seemed as if the Europeans' rational arguments would prevail over Russia's threatening gestures. According to an internal EU analysis, joining the "Eurasian Union" -- a Russia-backed proposed political and economic union including Russia, Tajikistan, Kazahkstan, Belarus and others -- would severely limit Ukraine's sovereignty. Once such a union had been formed, Kiev would no longer be able to enter into any other free trade agreements without Moscow's approval. An alliance with Moscow would thus have the exclusive nature of a marriage. The EU's eastern partnership, in contrast, would still allow Ukraine to enter into other alliances.
And Yanukovych, who has been considered a puppet of the Kremlin, even implemented many of the reforms demanded by the EU. The legal system and criminal law were modernized, trade restrictions were reduced and a few political prisoners were released. "He implemented more reforms than the pro-Western predecessor regime under Tymoshenko," says an EU negotiator.
EU Hopes Dashed
But it turns out those reforms didn't go as the EU hoped. According to the Freedom House organization, democratic basic rights in these eastern partnership candidate nations have not been strengthened in the wake of EU reform demands. Instead, they claim, many of the reforms were implemented half-heartedly and governments only consolidated their power.
But in truth, the most important goal for Yanukovych -- who may come across as unsophisticated, but is in fact a shrewd poker player -- is to hold onto power. In order to be reelected in 2015, he needs rapid economic improvement. Ukraine has slid into recession and could even be insolvent soon. The rating agencies have repeatedly downgraded the country's credit rating. Besides, Ukraine is dependent on Russian natural gas, and Moscow has already flexed its muscles by turning off supplies in the winter on three occasions.

Ebay has officially banned the sale of prayers, spells, charms, tarot card readings, etc, saying it's the only way to prevent people from being scammed. As it stands now, they aren't banning physical items - meaning you can sell prayer beads, but you can't sell a blessing.
This doesn't impact me directly - in my faith, the materials used are not supposed to be purchased anyway. The idea is that you should create them yourself so they mean something to you. However, there are a lot of other faiths that are equipment intensive and pretty much rely on outside providers (I don't think I know of anyone who has made their own rosary or hand written a copy of their bible). The concern is that this is a first step to preventing the sale of physical items that are spiritual in nature, and that the ban is going to extend to PayPal, meaning people who provide both physical things and offer card readings or prayers, will be banned from doing business via PayPal.
Is this really something that should be regulated? If you are willing to pay someone to pray for you or chant over a picture of your lost loved ones, isn't that your own choice? If there is no tangible result, how is that any different than someone praying on their own for free?

I do not see this as something that should be regulated. If a person is willing to pay for something or a service it should be up to them to do it. I do not see what they are really helping in banning something like this, even if it helps a person's peace of mind that is a help.
This is ridiculous, I say this across the board in relation too all religions/practices affiliated.

Meeting with assessors of the QAEE
The meeting comes a few days before the field visits to schools begin. In this phase the assessors will visit the qualified candidates in their respective schools. These visits will open the door for discussion between the assessors and the teachers regarding different educational practices and possible ways to develop experiences and transfer knowledge.
Telling them that they are the ambassadors of this award, Queen Rania highlighted the many challenges that they face as assessors.
While the list of candidates has been narrowed down from the original 1,126 applicants, Her Majesty said that all the teachers who were nominated for this award should be proud because that is already a sign of their commitment to quality education. She said she hopes that all the teachers in the Kingdom will continue their hard work and feel encouraged to reapply next year.
Award Director Lubna Touqan updated Her Majesty on the latest developments since her last meeting with the coordination team. Touqan said that they received applications from 36 directorates across the Kingdom. The number of application represents a high level of participation if compared to other international and well- established awards.
Queen Rania has stressed many times that the most important indicator for quality of education is the quality of teachers, and this award was created to elevate the status of teachers and boost their morale.
Her Majesty launched the award on March 5, 2006. In May, she met with the award coordinators to review the process of applications and the mechanism of introducing the award to the teachers across the Kingdom. The winners will be honored in a ceremony on October 7, 2006 under the patronage of Queen Rania.

In May 2010, the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Antitrust Division, Christine Varney, referred to the essential role that antitrust has in preserving and protecting competition, which together with regulation, can be harnessed to expand coverage, improve quality and control the cost of health care. Ms. Varney stated that:
[Y]ou should expect the Justice Department to carefully scrutinize and continue to challenge exclusionary practices by dominant firms…that substantially increase the cost of entry or expansion. This is particularly so with respect to most-favored nations clauses and exclusive clauses between insurers and significant providers that reduce the ability or incentive of providers to negotiate discounts with aggressive insurance entrants.
See Christine Varney, Antitrust and Healthcare, Speech before the ABA / American Health Lawyer's Association Antitrust in Healthcare Conference (May 24, 2010).
Now, less than six months later, DOJ and the state of Michigan have filed a civil antitrust lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan ("Blue Cross") alleging that the most favored nation (MFN) clauses in its agreements with hospitals, "raise hospital prices, prevent other insurers from entering the marketplace and discourage discounts...result[ing] in Michigan consumers paying higher prices for healthcare services and health insurance." See DOJ Press Release, Justice Department Files Antitrust Suit Against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (Oct. 18, 2010) and DOJ Complaint.

1896-S $5 MS62 NGC. This butter-gold better date half eagle
has good luster and is very well struck. The few minute marks
scattered about limit the grade; nevertheless, this is a very
attractive example. A mint-made roller mark passes through the
shield. The 1896-S went into circulation, since a majority of
certified examples are in XF or AU grades. Census: 12 in 62, 20
finer (11/11).(Registry
values: P3) (NGC ID# 25YL, PCGS# 8393)
