FEM has it wrapped up
FEM supplies new San Jamar Saf-T-Wrap film/foil dispenserCling-film and aluminium foil are essentials in any kitchen. Both are valuable in food preparation and storage. However, the problem lies in dispensing. FEM now supplies the new San Jamar Saf-T-Wrap dispenser, which quickly and easily dispenses film or foil without 'scrunching' or wastage. The Saf-T-Wrap dispenser protects the roll from damage and contamination, storing the roll in a fully enclosed container. It speeds up prep time as there is no need to struggle finding the end of the foil or film. It also minimises waste, since

Led by Venu Srinivasan, CMD, TVS Motors and former president of CII (national), the members told the minister that ease of doing business and clear solutions should be high priority areas for the government to speed up growth. "We are looking forward to a glowing future under the new government," Srinivasan said.
According to him, the manufacturing GDP, which should have been 25%, has now reached 15%. To bring back it to the higher levels, several measures including comprehensive reforms, ease of doing business, land acquisition & frameworks, exports competitiveness, must be looked into at the earliest. The manufacturing sector also has the potential to double the employment levels and ensure inclusive growth. Fresh reforms on factory law needs regulation, he further added.
Members, including Vinod K Dasari of Ashok Leyland, Mammen Mathew of MRF, Mallika Srinivasan of TAFE, felt that GST has to be implemented as the industries are suffering from input tax credit. Issues regarding southern gas grids, ChennaiBangalore corridor have to be resolved, they said.
The company Bill and inverted duty structure needed changes as cost of products manufactured in India is viewed as high compared to imported products. Members felt that the industry is in a situation where availability of power is low and cost is high, which is making global competition tough.
Farm mechanisation is viewed as very important for the agriculture sector both to meet non-availability of labour and enhance productivity and this may be supported through funding schemes.

Jason Priestley and wife Naomi Lowde were spotted with their kids – daughter Ava, 4, and son Dashiell, 2 – in their Los Angeles, Calif. neighborhood as they returned home from the farmer's market on Sunday (August 21).
Looks like the kids both brought home balloons – little Ava is "walking" hers home.
Earlier this month it was announced that Jason has a new TV gig – the former Beverly Hills 90210 star will be joining the cast of Syfy's popular series Haven in a recurring role.

So what did Cuba Gooding Jr. do after his comedic career went belly up? He turned to action films, who knew? The man is a Hollywood survivor.
Dating back to 2008, Cuba has been on a steady stream of action films starting with "Hero Wanted" with Ray Liotta.
The Oscar winner had flirted with action films with films like "Shadowboxer", "Dirty" and "End Game" but since 2008 he's been making them straight teaming with stars like Val Kilmer, Christian Slater and Dolph Lundgren.
It is almost like Cuba has picked up where Wesley Snipes left off when he went to prison for tax evasion. "The Hit List" is smack dab in the middle of Cuba's action streak.
The film finds Cole Hauser as a disgruntled engineer who wakes up one morning after an all-night bender only to find out that all the people he dissed the night before are now marked for assassination. His wife, his boss, the man his wife is sleeping with, the guy who was promoted over Hauser, etc. The assassin: Cuba Gooding Jr. (Can I get a "Show me the money!")
The moral of this story be careful who you get drunk with. Anyway, now Hauser has to run around and try to stop Cuba from finishing his "hit list".
This entry in Cuba's action resume comes from the brothers team of Chad & Evan Law, the brainiacs behind Cuba's first action film "Hero Wanted" , his teaming with Dolph Lundgren in "One in the Chamber" and Jean Claude Van Damme's "6 Bullets". The film is directed by William Kaufman who directed "One in the Chamber" with as well.
The movie starts with a really needless scene of Cuba waking up and a whole bunch of executives taking about how he is a rogue agent. Then launches into a makeshift James Bond credit sequence. WTF? Was it part of Cuba's contract to be shown first? Six minutes in and the plot hasn't even begun. Majorly sloppy.
The bar scene is pretty well done. I liked Cuba and Hauser playing off each other. Hauser thinking the whole thing is a joke as he downs a bottle of Jack Daniels and Cuba doesn't even have a sip. Cuba's line about "If this was a joke, would it be funny?" is really interesting and accents the scene perfectly. It is the best scene in the picture.
Why not start the film with that scene then do your title card? Do we really need to actually see how bad Hauser's life really is?
The premise is what sells this movie but just so many of the other pieces just don't support the interesting premise. The direction is very flat, there are some sloppy edits and some really funny blocking goofs. Like the actress playing Hauser's wife (Ginny Weirick) is looking at a picture from the security cam footage except she is looking at the back of the photo then the photo magically disappears. The car chase sequence is incredibly sloppy as there are quick cuts from a car speeding down a street and then to a closeup of Cuba's face smirking. This is all amateur hour.
Cuba's portrayal of the hitman has been carved into even the way he walks. This is a desperate man at the end of his rope and Cuba plays it as such. It isn't a great performance but neither is the film. Cuba is the best thing in it.
I never believed that Hauser was as helpless as they want you to believe. I think it was just miscasting. Hauser doesn't make a very good victim. You needed a more sheepish actor.
LaPaglia's cop is the best thing about that side of the film but really the actor has been doing that role for years.

Michigan's economy was built on automobiles, but planes, trains and cargo ships could enhance the state's fortunes.
Billions of dollars worth of investments to move cargo and people have been proposed to transform Michigan into a major player in global trade.
Supporters say these projects, if built, could create tens of thousands of new jobs. Those jobs would range from forklift drivers to highly paid managers who coordinate the supply chains of major manufacturers.
Most of us know about the New International Trade Crossing — the proposed bridge linking Detroit and Windsor.
Gov. Rick Snyder and the state's business leaders are pushing for construction of the bridge, which they say will boost commerce in the state.
Plans for the structure have been delayed by intense opposition from Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel Moroun and the rejection of authorizing legislation last year in the state Senate.
But there are a handful of lesser-known projects that also are critical in attracting trade-related investment and jobs to Michigan.
Among them are:
• A planned $400 million rail tunnel under the Detroit River to replace a century-old tunnel that cannot handle today's double-stacked rail cars. Called the Continental Rail Gateway, the project is led by Marge Byington, a former state economic development official from Grand Rapids.
• The $445 million Detroit Intermodal Freight Terminal, a hub for cargo shipped here by rail, truck and air. The terminal, currently in the design phase, is a public-private project involving the state and several railroads.
• Separate proposals by private investors and Michigan State University to bring goods from Europe and Asia to deepwater ports in Montreal and Halifax, Nova Scotia. From there, goods would be shipped to Michigan along existing rail lines.
Conversely, agricultural and manufactured products from Michigan could be shipped to world markets via those routes.
"These projects have huge implications for growing the economy here," said Doug Smith, senior vice president of strategic partnerships at the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
Business Leaders for Michigan, a group of top business executives and university presidents, agrees.
Its updated Michigan Turnaround Plan, released in January, proposes that Michigan develop its transportation and logistics resources to become the "Gateway to the Midwest."
Expanding rail, truck, airline and water transportation assets could grow the state's gross domestic product by as much as $10 billion and add as many as 63,000 jobs by 2020, according to the Turnaround Plan.
Four regions of the state that surround airports have recently become eligible for special state and federal economic development incentives under the 2010 Next Michigan Development Corporation Act.
Those regions are the Detroit Region Aerotropolis surrounding Metro and Willow Run Airports; the Grand Traverse Region and Cherry Capital Airport; the I-69 International Trade Corridor that includes Bishop Airport in Flint; and the Port Lansing Global Logistics Centre surrounding Capital City Airport in Lansing.
The MEDC has named its director of policy, Peter Anastor, as its liaison with the various transportation projects.
"We're trying to develop more of a statewide logistics strategy," Anastor said. "Part of (the problem) is people don't really know the assets we have in Michigan and where we fit in the export economy."
There will be many challenges ahead, including financing for the various transportation proposals, and competition from Indianapolis, Columbus and other cities trying to become major Midwest logistics hubs.
But if Michigan is to prosper in an economy where goods, services and people increasingly flow across borders, it needs to expand and integrate its transportation assets.

Many of my readers have been asking me the same question: "I heart Babystylista… but what's in it for me? I have …a boy…" Good point, my Baby Boy Advocates! Believe it or not – I have asked myself the same question – and here's my answer… comin' right up!
In all fairness – LD still maintains her self-proclaimed title "Tomboy chic", acquired from her predecessor Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, and therefore, has nothing but love for her buddies of the male persuasion. She is especially thrilled to show you some of our coolest finds in the super slick category (You know LD, like Mama, is a huge fan of studs as seen here):
Whoops – I digress (hehe)…back to our boys. In searching for super-slick-&-studly outfits for our buddies in blue – I decided to forego the whole "blue" thing and go for a more neutral color – my fave… Black. And this is what I came up with…
My Baby Rocks Online offers a ridiculous amount of unique clothing for both boys and girls with a wide range of sizes. So I scoured their shop and found a few pieces from head to toe, which I'm sure you'll enjoy:
Not surprising to most of my friends and colleagues in and out of the Biz, I live for fedoras (and pretty much anything that covers the ol' noggin).
This darling Born to Love (GOTTA LOVE BORN TO LOVE!!!) fedora hat is priced at a reasonable $28.50 and fits infants up to 24 months.
LD also highly recommends the Black Rib Visor Beanie w/ Heart Embroidery as seen here, which is perfect for both lass and laddie and is once again, offspring of the Born to Love collection.
I've recently become a huge fan of the whole Rockabilly culture which obviously inspired this find:
Sourpuss' Lucky's Button Down adds a little grease to your little guy with this cotton Gas Station Shirt. But be forewarned, this vintage flava pretty much guarantees your baby boy's spot in the upper echelon of Daycare Bad boys!
Just so our handsome little bad boys tone it down a notch, you can't go wrong with a pair of Bit'z Kids Grey Houndstooth Pants.
This Houndstooth pattern is so charming and classy, Baby Daddy's going to be asking where he can get a pair… Mine already has…
And lest we forget the tootsies – I mean, our stylin' boys can't be running around in their bare feet now, can they? So I figured the l'il men out there would appreciate a little Classic Charlie hit with these adorable "Vegan constructed" faux leather shoes with cotton canvas lining and an elastic collar.
It's always nice to accessorize Mr. Man, so finishing the look with this Black & Red Skull Tie won't hurt anyone!
Let's face it – as much as I wanted to dedicate this post exclusively to the little guys out there – this little get-up is just as acceptable for our little gals. Stay tuned for a little Rockabilly Bad Boy love from LD. She's all about Rockin' your baby, tomboy-style… Just throw on a pair of diamond studs and you're good.
Stylishly yours,

Ratings for Dr. Christopher B. Reeves
We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Reeves and his entire office staff!!! He treated us with such care and patience!!! His receptionist even hugged us when I expressed my thankfulness for having found him!!! I had to wipe away tears!!!
Despite all the negative and rude comments on here, Dr.Reeves is always very attentive to what i have to say. He takes the time to make sure my concerns are heard. His staff has always been so nice to me and my family when we go into the Dr. Very personable and helpful when needing questions answered. Very good Doctor.
Dr. Reeves is a great doctor dispite several opinions on here. He is not a doctor that will simply prescribe medicine to you and leave it at that. He truly cares and want to help and that means sometimes being frank about how we treat our bodies. We are asking him to treat us, but he is powerless if we will not take care of ourselves. He is frank when we needs to be and compassionate as well. Very good doctor.
the LAST time i visited DR. Reeves, he looked at his watch twice during my 10 minute visit, the receptionist needs to look up the definition of reception in the dictionary and the other staff were condescending and rude.
Just there to bill your insurance and roll his eyes. Any doctor who just has 10 minutes for each patient is a joke and there for the money.
I want to believe that at one time this Dr. cared a lot more about people than he does now. He is argumentative and insensitive. He is not thorough. He refuses to admit that his office could ever make an error and is completely unapologetic. He stated that he only has ten minutes for each one of his patients, which speaks loudly of his true concern for his patients. He made judgment calls regarding the validity of medical history without ever discussing with us in order to get accurate information, and NEVER followed up on any care provided which was minimal. Very disappointed.
Not at all what I had expected after reading these reviews. Would not recommend to any of my family or friends.
What a great Doctor & Staff! Dr. Reeves and Linda, and all the staff, were friendly, professional and showed genuine care for my hubby and myself at our appointments. For the first time I truly felt like a doctor listened to me and heard what I was saying. Linda was by gentle drawing blood, and took care to show make me feel at ease. (I am PETRIFIED of needles). I had some other tests that needed to be done and Linda called me within 3 hours of appointment and had me scheduled for them. She even made sure to get a faculty close to where I live. Now, that's GREAT SERVICE! At last we have found a Doctor that we can go to and trust that he has our best interest at heart! I HIGHLY reccomend Dr Christopher Reeves and Grace Family Pratice!
My wife and i have been going to Dr Reeves for many years. He is top notch Dr who cares about his patients. He is very knowledgeable and takes his time with us. We both feel comfortable with Dr Reeves and his friendly / professional staff.
I have been going to Dr Reeves for my diabetes for 4 years. My sugar was dangerously high and my old doctor had me on expensive medication. I changed to Dr Reeves when my insurance changed. At my first appointment Dr Reeves took the time to explain how diabetes could cause damage even though I feel OK. He explained how important it was to treat my diabetes and keep the sugar normal. He taught me how to eat the right foods. Most importantly he showed me that he cared about me and he didn't talk down to me or make me feel like I was bad for having diabetes. He looks at me when I am talking and answers my questions. Our visits are shorter now that my diabetes is so much better. I am on less expensive medication. My sugars and AIC tests are normal and I feel better and more energetic. I have told all of my friends at church and work that they should change to Dr "Superman"

It's Tuesday morning – do you know where your characters are?
Every Tuesday morning we get this little forced break, of sorts, while Blizzard cleans the hamster cages*. The game is down; the servers are down; the forums are probably down (if not, they're slower than molasses in January); the armory is down. Ok, well the armory is down a lot more often than just Tuesdays, but you get the drift.
Because I usually work afternoons, my mornings are spent taking care of various other things around the apartment and keeping up with the Blog Azeroth folks. So maintenance doesn't really mean much for me, other than having more people than usual in the Feathermoon IRC channel and the BlogAzeroth chat room, and maybe getting ahead on the blog posts for the week.
I was wondering though – does the weekly maintenance really have much of an effect on you? Sometimes if it runs long and I happen to have the day off, it's a bit annoying, but I don't find that it cramps my style too much. Do you have things that you do or don't do on Tuesday mornings because of the server outage?
Oh – and in case you were wondering… your characters are probably out, enjoying the party.
*since obviously it's a bunch of hamsters running on squeaky wheels that run the authentication servers lately.

Here's a look at the playoff scenarios for the area's football programs and the regions to which they belong...
Teams region records in parentheses
(Regions ordered from highest classification to lowest)
Region 6-AAAAAA
-- Alpharetta (6-0) is the region champion.
-- West Forsyth (5-1) can clinch the No. 2 seed with a win over Lambert (4-2).
-- North Forsyth (3-3) can clinch the No. 4 seed with a win by 5 or more points over South Forsyth (4-2).
Region 7-AAAAAA
-- The four playoff teams are locked in: Collins Hill (6-1), Norcross (6-1), North Gwinnett (6-1) and Peachtree Ridge (5-2), though seeding is still undetermined.
-- If the three teams tied at 6-1 all win on Friday, a coin flip would decide the champ. North Gwinnett faces Peachtree Ridge; Collins Hill faces a Mill Creek (4-3) that just missed out on the playoffs; Norcross faces Meadowcreek (1-8).
Region 8-AAAAA
-- The winner of the Flowery Branch (7-0) at Gainesville (7-0) game will determine the region championship and No. 2 seed.
-- Clarke Central (5-2) is the No. 3 seed.
-- Heritage, Conyers (5-3) is the No. 4 seed.
Region 8-AAAA
-- Monroe Area (6-0) is the region champion.
-- Chestatee (5-1) is the No. 2 seed.
-- Lanier (4-2) is the No. 3 seed.
-- Stephens County (3-3) can clinch the No. 4 seed with a win over Lumpkin County (1-5) or an Eastside (3-3) loss to Monroe on Friday.
Region 7-AAA
-- Three of the four playoff teams have been determined, though the region champ is still undetermined between Buford (6-0) and North Hall (5-1).
-- White County (5-1) has locked up the No. 2 seed.
-- The Wolves can win the championship with a victory at North Hall on Friday, yet North Hall can win the title if it can defeat Buford by 12 or more points. A loss or a win by less than 12 points would knock the Trojans into third place.
-- The No. 4 seed will be determined by the winner of the West Hall (3-3) at Dawson County (3-3) game.
Region 8-AAA
-- Elbert County (6-0) is the region champion.
-- The No. 2/3 seeds will be decided by the North Oconee (5-1) at Hart County (5-1) game.
-- The No. 4 seed will be determined by the winner of the Morgan County (3-3) at Jackson County (3-3) game.
Region 8-AA
-- Washington-Wilkes (6-0) is the region champion.
-- All four playoff teams have been determined -- including Jefferson (5-1), Rabun County (4-2) and Union County (4-2) -- though seeding is still to be decided.
-- Jefferson can secure the No. 2 seed with a win at Union County on Friday.
-- Rabun can secure the No. 3 seed with a win at Oglethorpe County on Friday.
Region 8-A
-- Prince Avenue Christian (5-0) is the region champ.
-- The rest of the seedings do not matter due to the Class A public/private playoff split that employ a power rating to determine seedings. Commerce (4-1) should make the playoffs -- the Tigers are currently ninth in the power ratings, and the top 16 reach the postseason. Click here for a complete look at the latest power ratings.

Midway through the interview, I begin to wonder if Rick DeJesus could charge a cellphone through his voice alone.
This is the energy with which the guy speaks.
Actually, "speaks" may be the wrong way to put it — he doesn't conversate so much as radiate words the way a bolt of lightning does heat.
There are times when he seems less a man than an electric current in guise of one.
What's gotten DeJesus so righteously worked up on a recent Friday afternoon is the state of rock 'n' roll radio, more specifically, how hard it is for a band like the one DeJesus fronts, Vegas rockers Adelitas Way, to find a home on the airwaves these days.
"Can I tell you a funny story?" he asks while barely pausing to allow time for an answer, speaking from a tour stop in North Dakota.
DeJesus proceeds to recall a recent Adelitas Way and Three Days Grace gig in St. Louis, where he called out a local radio station whose banners were all over the venue even though the station doesn't give time to either band, according to DeJesus.
"I get up onstage and say, 'Hey, do you guys feel embarrassed hanging your banners in this room knowing that you don't play any of these bands?' " he recalls, his voice bubbling with excitement, like a carbonated beverage that's been shaken too vigorously. "I caused this huge controversy because I called them out and said, 'St. Louis, the reason that you're not getting rock is your rock station.' A lot of places in the country are doing that, they're switching their formats, they're taking rock away."
DeJesus is not alone in saying as much.
Linkin Park recently went on the same crusade with the release of their more guitar-driven new album, "The Hunting Party," which they have also had difficulty convincing radio outlets to embrace despite being one of the biggest acts of their ilk, ensnaring them in a war of words with Australian synth pop group Churches, the kind of band that is receiving plenty of play on alternative radio nowadays.
But if anything, DeJesus is even more vehement and unflinching in expressing his point of view.
Plus, he has a fresh bullet in the chamber to fire at the radio powers-that-be: Adelitas Way's new record, "Stuck," released on Tuesday, which the band will commemorate with an in-store performance at 7 p.m. Thursday at Zia Records Eastern (4225 S. Eastern Ave.).
It's the band's third album for major label Virgin Records, and follows up 2011's "Home School Valedictorian," which sold more than 130,000 copies and earned the band a pair of No. 1 singles on the active rock charts.
It's a pivotal record for the band, following three years of near-constant roadwork from the group and recorded by one of the biggest contemporary rock producers, Nick Raskulinecz, who's worked with Rush, Alice In Chains, Foo Fighers, Deftones and many others.
"Nick Raskulinecz was crucial in doing this album, because we wanted it to sound as live as possible," DeJesus says. "We didn't want to edit it up with seven layers of vocals. Everything you hear on that record I sang. Everything you hear on that record we played. We practiced for eight hours a day to make sure we were able to do it that way."
You can hear it on the album: It's a teeth bared, in-your-face sounding record that opens with a growl ("Dog on a Leash"), where DeJesus seethes over muscular guitars, before sampling BeeGees-worthy melodies ("Keep Me Waiting"), breathy torch songs with an electronic pulse ("Undivided") and even a few symphonic flourishes ("We Came").
It's not music critic rock; it won't penetrate this year's Village Voice Pazz &Jop poll.
It's like the rock 'n' roll equivalent of an effects-laden summer popcorn flick, a crowd-pleaser with the masses in mind.
With an album like "Stuck," Adelitas Way are positioning themselves to develop a Nickelback-like following.
Plenty of groups would turn their noses up at a comparison like that, but, then again, Nickelback packs arenas and sells millions of records.
Adelitas Way has the potential to do the same.
Thing is, Nickelback's success was driven, in large part, by heavy radio play, which Adelitas Way is still fighting for.
Still, DeJesus seems undeterred.
If radio won't have his band, he'll have at radio.
"We're so motivated, man," he says. "We're like that bug they step on, and then the legs keep moving, we pop up and run away again."

True Blood has always flirted with jumping the shark. How couldn't it? A campy Southern Gothic horror comedy about redneck Louisiana vampires? Why, the summary alone sounds ludicrous, even if you're a fan.
But forget that. When it debuted, it was trashy fun — sexy, uber-gay, funny and bone-chilling within seconds. Season 1 was a hoot. Season 2 took a turn, it's true, but it got better, and Season 3 was mostly very good. But Season 4, which ended last year, was dreadfully bad, almost unwatchable, with witches and fairy blood and trailer-trash werewolf and werepanther packs. As a friend of mine noted, "I can't watch it — I grew up in Louisiana, and I spent too much time with toothless hick already in my life." (For me, that's exemplified in the character of whiny waitress Arlene, who I've known way too many of in my life.)
Season 5 — which debuted last week during both the Tony Awards and the Mad Men finale, so you might have missed it (the premiere reruns Sunday afternoon on HBO and via On Demand, before the debut of Episode 2 Sunday night) — is off to a more promising start than Season 4 ended on, though Season 4's first few episodes were promising, too.But of the four eps I've screened, it's on the right track. The shark might be within view, but it's not directly below.
Season 4 ended with Tara (Rutina Wesley) getting shot in the head; best friend Sookie (Anna Paquin) and cousin Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) convinced sultry vamp Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten, who for me is worth watching this show alone) to turn her into a vampire. It worked, only Tara is uncontrollable. Meanwhile, Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) have united against The Authority, which puts them in opposition to its head, Roman (Christopher Meloni, whose character debuts tonight). It seems Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) is still alive and out for revenge, too.
No Meloni lover (and if you're gay, you almost certainly are one) wouldn't look forward to a little blood-sucking from his presence, although he's the de facto bad-guy, along with the return of closest gay Rev. Newlin (Gary Bauer lookalike Michael McMillian), now a vampire and desperate to get into Jason's (Ryan Kwanten) pants.
I know, it's complicated; the cast of regulars has exploded to 21 this season, and it's become a convoluted soap opera along the way. That's also part of its appeal.
Meloni looks to be a more engaging nemesis than last season's Fiona Shaw, but the series ie beginning to run thin on new ideas. It started with vampires, then expanded into shape-shifters, werewolves, werepanthers. fairies, mediums and witches. That's in addition to V addicts (junkie Andy Bellfour's storyline being one of last season's weakest), religious nuts and the occasional ghost. What else is there before Mulder and Scully show up?
As a result, the series has traded devious cleverness for outright cruelty — is seems vicious and bloodthirsty for sport, not plot. That can be off-putting, but it can also surprise, until the surprises become rote. (Sookie masters her fairy powers at opportune moments, is a victimized and defenseless at others; it's the ultimate deus ex machina cop-out.)
But Ellis's Lafayette is still one of my favorite characters ever on TV, and Kwanten's comic timing paired with his smoking, often naked body, is a double-whammy.
And now, creator and outgoing showrunner Alan Ball has let the series return to its strength: Vampirism as a metaphor for modern society, especially gay culture ("God hates fangs" a sign reads in the opening credits) and religious fundamentalism as the province of hatemongers. It's the most anti-GOP show on TV not hosted by Rachel Maddow.
And at least you can take comfort in one thing: It's much better than Twilight.
Three stars. Episode 2 of Season 5 premieres on HBO June 17 at 7 p.m.

Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Beberapa Varietas Kedelai Pada Berbagai Kedalaman Muka Air Di Lahan Rawa Pasang Surut

Saturated soil culture (SSC) is a cultivation technology that provides continuous irrigation. It keeps water depth constantly and makes soil layer in saturated condition. By keeping the water-table constantly, soybean is avoided from negative effect of inundation on its growth because it will acclimatize and improve its growth. This technology appropriate to prevent pyrite oxidation on tidal swamps and has been proved to increase the productivity of soybean on nontidal swamp. The objective of the research was to determine the response of soybean varieties under saturated soil culture on tidal swamps. The research was conducted at Banyu Urip, Tanjung Lago, Banyuasin District, and South Sumatera Province, Indonesia from April to August 2009. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The main-plot of the experiment was water depth in the furrow consisted of without watering, 10, 20, 30, and 40 cm under soil surface (USS). The subplot of the experiments was soybean varieties consisted of Tanggamus, Slamet, Wilis, and Anjasmoro. The result showed that the interaction between varieties and water depth significantly affected growth and seed production, but not for pod numbers/plant. The values of all variables were higher under SSC compared to those cultivated without watering, but varieties responded to SSC differently. Nutrient absorption of N, K and Mn by Tanggamus was higher than those of other varieties, except K, however K absorption of Tanggamus was not significantly different from Anjasmoro. P and Fe absorption of Tangamus tended to be higher than the other varieties, although statistically they were not affected by variety. The highest seed production was obtained from Tanggamus with 40 cm USS, i.e. 4.83 ton/ha but it was not significantly different from those at water depth 20 (4.63 ton/ha) and 30 cm USS (4.71 ton/ha). However, technically and economically, 20 cm USS was the most appropriate water depth for soybean production at tidal swamps.

Druid A Cup WIP
Whaaaat even I have never made anything A-cup related in my life, so this was... weird? XD But fun. Making the preview image took longer than the actual conversion.
"Conversion" is actually not really what I did, I just... flattened and adjusted the top to "fit" an A cup upper body? XD Then I adjusted everything else. From head to toe, argh. I also added a different vest, because the other one looked ridiculous with the different upper body.
Th pose makes the skirt look weird, I am sorry.

Climb the blocky crack to a prominent solid tree, then the thinner continuation crack that leads into a final easy groove.
A gret little route - well protected crux sequence of perfect fingery climbing. The tree half way up gets in the way a bit.
Nice route but the huge protruding block is a bit disconcerting! Fairly easy well protected E1.
Maybe worth 2 stars? Certainly at least one * better than Burning Spear, anyway.

LAKE CHARLES — Federal authorities are monitoring a natural gas leak at an offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement said Tuesday the platform is located about 93 miles south of Lake Charles in about 173 feet of water. Authorities said the platform has not been in production for nearly a decade — and currently is used to process natural gas and condensate from other offshore sites.
Investigators said the leak was discovered Sunday when workers on an Apache Corp. crew spotted bubbling near the platform. The platform was evacuated and pipelines were cut off.
The federal agency said Apache is using a robotic vehicle to see if the platform can be reboarded safely. If not, authorities say a relief well will be drilled.
A small amount of oil condensate pollution has been noted — but the agency said that is quickly evaporating.
The agency said it will investigate the cause of the leak.
The company said a crew was plugging abandoned wells at the time the leak was discovered.

Syracuse, NY -- And so, the story of Cabela's continues and there's still no chapter regarding a New York state store. Read on...
From Retailing Today:
Cabela's to enter Virginia and Delaware in 2014
SIDNEY, Neb. — Cabela's Inc. announced today plans for two new stores, including its first-ever locations in Virginia and Delaware. Construction is expected to begin on the new locations in 2013, with the stores expected to open in 2014.
Cabela's said it will build an 85,000-sq.-ft. store in The Falls, a new retail development in Bristol, Va., that will accommodate about 1.5 million sq. ft. of retail space.
In Delaware, the company will open a 100,000-sq.-ft. store adjacent to Christiana Mall, in Christiana.
The stores will be built in Cabela's trademark style with an exterior of log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing.
The interior will highlight Cabela's next-generation layout, which is designed to maximize product assortment and availability while surrounding customers in the outdoor experience with wildlife and outdoor memorabilia displays. It will feature thousands of quality outdoor products, museum-quality animal mounts, a Gun Library, Bargain Cave and Fudge Shop, as well as other unique features.
Currently, Cabela's operates 38 stores across the United States and Canada. The company will open stores in Rogers, Ark., and Union Gap, Wash., on Aug. 30 and Oct. 4, respectively. It has announced plans to open seven stores in 2013: Saginaw, Mich.; Columbus, Ohio; Grandville, Mich.; Louisville, Ky.; Green Bay, Wis.; Thornton, Colo.; and Lone Tree, Colo.
Cabela's also has announced plans to open a store in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2014.
My comments: Looking at the 2014 list of stores scheduled to open, it's intriguing to see Cabela's is opening two MORE stores in Michigan. I visited the one in Dundee, Mich. (in a rural area between Toledo and Detroit) on a 2003 business trip. It was part of a multiple-story business trip, partly focusing on Bass Pro Shops coming to Auburn and partly to look at what some of the retailers on Destiny's wish list.
Cabela's was on that list, and it was on drawings for Destiny in 2007 (those drawing included a Cabela's hotel and "Lake Destiny." Cabela's typically builds lakes next to its humongous stores so customers can try out boats and gear).
Alas, we have a Destiny and no Cabela's. There are still no Cabela's stores in New York state.
As I've written time and again here on the Store Front blog, I can't see Cabela's waiting forever to build a store in New York. However, I never would have dreamed, back in 2003, Cabela's still wouldn't be in New York, nearly a decade later.
If you've followed this, you know Albany media has reported Cabela's may land there. Could be, could be. But I still see a large chunk of land in and around Syracuse's Inner Harbor that would seem perfect for a Cabela's.
To those of you who have noted Cabela's typically builds in rural locations (see it's Pennsylvania store, in Hamburg, near Allentown). Look at some of their stores scheduled to begin construction next year. The one in Delaware is at a mall that's much like Destiny.
I won't go on and on.
What do you think?That is all.

Roman Polanski
Jump to
Perhaps one of the most notorious directors in Hollywood, Roman Polanski was as known for his tumultuous personal life as he was for his dark, disquieting and quasi-autobiographical films. After a childhood stained by Nazi atrocities, Polanski emerged from his native Poland with the Oscar-nominated "Knife in the Water" (1962). He went on to establish a reputation with several films shot in England - namely the claustrophobic sexual thriller "Repulsion" (1965) - before reaching artistic and commercial heights in America with "Rosemary's Baby" (1968). But his newfound success quickly descended into tragedy in 1969 when several of his friends and his pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, were brutally murdered by members of Charles Manson's "Family." After directing the landmark film noir, "Chinatown" (1974), Polanski became a victim of his own excesses when he fled the United States to avoid serving prison time following a conviction for statutory rape. As a fugitive, Polanski continued making films, albeit with less frequency and smaller budgets. But he found himself on top again when he tapped into his own experiences for the Oscar-winning Holocaust drama, "The Pianist" (2002). As an artist who exerted tremendous control - often co-writing screenplays and sometimes acting - Polanski instilled his films with a uniquely personal worldview. His recurring themes of violence and victimization, isolation and alienation, and a profound sense of the absurd, permeated a body of work that long remained unmatched by many a director before and since.

New Light Dawning
- Artist: Kevin Scott Hall
- Format: CD
- Release Date:1/29/2002
|your cart is empty
This is my first CD, released in late 1998. It is flawlessly produced by Dave Hall (no relation) and has several outstanding cuts in several genres. Most notable are the original songs, including the inspirational country song, 'I Can, I Will'; the power rock ballad, 'Heart on My Sleeve'; the tender 'The Eiffel Tower Song'; the sumptuous ballad 'Maybe'; surprisingly effective jazz tracks 'Weekends With You' and 'Heartbreaker City'; and the duet with Clare Cooper on her wedding hit, 'Starting Today'. The first track to get airplay, however, was the shattering, languid version of Orbison's 'Crying', and I pretty much reinvented Morrisette's 'You Learn', if I may say so! This album, I'm proud to say, has withstood the test of time and is still getting play (most recently the anthem 'Hearts and Voices' after September 11, 2001) and selling. Please read more about me, my gigs and other recordings and activities on my website (including reviews).

December 16, 2008
Greg White doesn't have the high profile of Bengals receiver Chad Ocho Cinco, formerly known as Chad Johnson. But I do think he's pulled off the best name change of this NFL season.
Buccaneers opponents will no longer be blocking Greg White. They will be blocking Stylez G. White. He made it official in court today.
And for what reason? Because he liked the character Stiles from "Teen Wolf". From The Bucs Report:
White said he picked his new name from a character in the 1985 movie "Teen Wolf,'' starring Michael J. Fox.
"That was his best friend's name,'' White said. "I always liked that name. It's not that I don't like Greg White.''
In the movie, Fox's friend is named Rupert "Stiles'' Stilinski. White changed the spelling and adopted the name as his own.
That's fantastic. Normally I'd question the self-esteem of a guy who changes his name to that of a sidekick in a movie, but I'll make an exception if it's Stiles. He's an '80s icon. Not as much as the Teen Wolf himself, but you can't really name yourself Teen Wolf, can you?
If he could find a way to be introduced at home games, and ride into the stadium on top of a van, he would be my hero.
Gracias, Deadspin.

" Brand: Zooplus / Type: Rubber Ring "
As someone who had never had a dog before i assumed i wasn't going to be the best person to get all the stuff we needed for our new puppy, but i was of course volunteered whilst my husband went to pick her up!
After a seemingly never ending shopping trip to pets at home, i finally came away with what i deemed the right stuff, and even managed to purchase a few chew toys for her too, though this one in partiuclar has had the most use, with it being (in my humble opinion anyway!) the least exciting looking toy of the bunch!
The ring itself is made from a very sturdy and dense rubber, making it almost solid and reasonably heavy, heavy enough in fact that i was surprised that Belle was able to pick it up, let alone run around growling at it, whilst it hangs from her mouth!
I am told that like children, Belle will soon start loosing her baby teeth (though not all of them like i was expecting, i was looking forward to her not nipping me when she gets excited!), and due to her teeth irritating her she will get a bit more chewy and nippy around the 11- 12 week age, which would be now!
The ring is nice and dense enough for Belle to have a really good chomble on, perfect for teething pains, but she also seems to find it fascinating that she can carry it in her mouth, but with a quick flip of her head she can actually wear it and keep it in her mouth too, (making her look like a gimp!), though she will soon be unable to do this as she is growing at a ridiculous rate!
We have had the ring for five weeks now, and it is showing signs of being chewed (which is unsuprising as Belle's teeth are like needles!), but has not started to disintigrate like some of the lesser toys have (we have had three casualties already!), at that point it will have to be thrown away, but the ring is still going strong!
Price wise i pucrhased this from my local Pets at home, for around the £4.00 mark, which for how well it seems to be holding up is fantastic value.
I would highly recommend this product, it is hard wearing and perfect for when your puppy is teething.
Thanks for reading x
Eddie the dog loves his toys. He is a very excitable cocker spaniel and so needs lots of things to keep him entertained. He does not like to be left alone so on the unfortunate times we do leave him alone we like him to have something to play with to keep him entertained and make sure he doesn't get bored and get up to mischief. We have to find toys that are quite hard wearing and solid as his little teeth can bite through things quite well and he tears most soft toys apart in a matter of days.
This rubber ring is great. Its made of a very tough natural rubber and is the type that you cannot really bend and doesn't give much but this is great as it really gives Eddie a chewing workout. The packaging actually tells you that the rubber yields to the bite of your dog and so prevents teeth damage which is great as that is the last thing you want from a toy.
As well as being a chew toy this ring actually works well as a toy you can play with with your dog too. I like the fact that I can throw it and Eddie will go fetch it so we also make a game out of throwing and catching the ring too. This is much better than throwing a tennis ball which he can bite and destroy quite quickly. Eddie can fit the ring nicely into his mouth as its a round shape because he can just bite down on one side of the ring. This makes it easy for him to fetch it or to carry it around with him in his mouth.
We've had this ring for a few months now and so far it looks almost as good as new although quite dirty as we've played with it in the woods behind our house. Its got a few chew marks in it but not rips or tears where his teeth have bitten into it which is nice. I can see this ring lasting for quite a long time yet. I believe these come in lots of different colours, we got ours in red which is great because it shows up in grass and under bushes etc.
We bought ours for about £3 I believe, a very good price for a good dog toy.
The dimensions of the ring are given as:
Diameter- 15 cm
Thickness - 2.5
Weight - 0.3 kg

.. photobucket died
Great write up Chris.
Any chance you know the part number for that glovebox?
The one I got was 8P2 857 035 A, I do know that 8P2 857 035 G will also fit.
Don't bother looking in Germany, a left hand drive glovebox wont fit (this begins 8P1 I believe).
I stalked eBay for must of been 3 weeks until the right one came up in Black. I checked morning and night on the newly listed under "Audi A3 glovebox" and finally one appeared.
Of course if you have a CD changer already fitted or the crappy iPod interface, you're sorted glovebox wise.
If you dont mind me asking how much was the glovebox?
This is something ive always wanted to do
I got that one for £59 delivered.
Thanks Chris, may have to start stocking up parts lol.
Unfortunately I have the standard glovebox like your original one (with the airbag switch on the far right).
Hi from the other side of the pond..
I have a 193 RNS-E and OEM BT successfully retrofitted on a 2004 A6 C5 allroad. I am looking to retrofit CAN AMI as well using the 8P0 057 785 kit, but first want to confirm that it will work on this car. afaik my car has no CAN gateway. I sort of confirmed this by trying to open module 19 in VCDS - no response from controller.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
many thanks
I think it just needs a can feed from the RNSE, which the loom I used provides. Same as a B7 A4 and code the RNSE to show that AMI is connected, no other changes needed afaik.
if true that would be incredible mate! need to roll the dice I guess. my concern is around the can gateway coding instructions in this guide.
since there's no can gateway in my car I obviously can't do them..
Well this guide is for a 8P A3 so thats the instructions for this particular car.
Have a look on the forum, I'm sure it was on here I seen it.
You don't need a can gateway to get AMI working, I've got a MK2 RNS-E fitted to my B5 A4 and have AMI working, you just need to connect the infotainment can-bus wires from the RNS-E to the AMI.
alright! first confirmation I've seen online anywhere that AMI-CAN works on A4B5. Nothing yet for A6C5, but that's a great sign. will post back with my results.
No reason for it not to, I take it you have already taken the infotainment can-bus wires from the back of the cluster to the RNS-E, if so just take them wires and link into the AMI. I even get the AMI song names showing on my DIS, link to my B5 install. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-s4-forum-b5-chassis/163779-what-have-you-done-today-6.html
Another great write up Chris, deffo make things easier with ur instructions and pics
I'd like but this tapatalk doesn't let me
Do the track names show up on the RNS-E as well? it does on MMI systems.
Also have you tried an AMI BT dongle like the Viseeo WMA1000? It definitely works with MMI systems. Their website shows the song/album info displaying on RNS-E display just like the SD cards.. Tune2Air WMA1000 Bluetooth Music Receiver, Support Airplay, Audi-A2DP, Mercedes-A2DP and VW-A2DP - PRODUCT - ViseeO Worldwide Official Site?
Yes all track names show on rnse.
Advancedincar on the forum sells these, do a search.
confirmed http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/new-pr...a-1000-bluetooth-streaming-over-audi-ami.html
already bought one. testing it on this car and an E46 M3. looks like it's a winner!
This is another mod I want to do. I have the Aux plug near the handbrake. Will the Aux still work?
I have an A3 8P MY09 TDI S Line
You lose aux when you install AMI. AMI supports multiple connect methods though - iPod, USB..
Thanks so would need to find a blank for it then
Does the RNSE play CD's?
All I can find is information about AMI and SD cards.
1. If I install just the RNSE mk2 will I loose the ability to play CD's and loose the AUX near the hand break?
2. The AMI is this just a set of leads that allows you to plug I-Phones/I-pods in
3. Can you fit a 6 CD changer instead of the AMI?
I'm looking at getting all the bits together over the coming months, then installing it or getting some to do it.
1. You can still play CD's but then you won't be able to use your nav. Not sure on the AUX but you can get a AMI->3.5 if needed
2. All in my first post
3. Yes but not sure if the changers play MP3 cd's.
Thanks Chris
So all I needs is
1. RNSE mk2
2. Appropriate conversion leads
3. New glove box
4. AMI leads or CD Changer ( might go for the CD changer as I do like my CD's)
And not forgetting a lottery winð
However you don't need a MK2 for cd changer, a mk1 will handle it fine but MK2s are much nicer
I would like to have parking sensors fitted front and rear at some time, but I think they will only work with mk2
I saw an option in VCDS when coding my AMI + MK2 RNS-E for for AUX port monitoring... i am wondering if you could piggy back the L+R+GRND connections for the AMI with the AUX port into the rear of the RNS-E , and then with this option enabled the AMI may auto switch to AUX IN when something is connected to the AUX port?
The other option is the bluetooth adapter for the AMI, allowing you to connect devices to the AMI via Bluetooth.
Thanks for this guide I managed to install a ami that I paid £140 on ebay.Bought the plug and play lead from kuftech for £40.My can gateway did not have the option of the media player in 2e . Thankfully the ami still works and is so much better than the CD .
Is album art displayed using AMI?
Not on the 8P, no.
Great write-up, Chris!
I have an additional complication and had some trouble with your description, namely the 'reset' wouldn't work via VCDS (when I did set the test value to 1 to effect the reset under 'Adaption Menue/Reset', it gave me an error and told me that it couldnt communicate with the interface). I ended up doing that manuall (pressing Radio/Setup at the same time for a couple seconds).
The additional complexity that I have upgraded my Symphony to an RNS-E MK II (193) and also yanked out the old ipod integration via AUX out and replaced it with the AMI unit (035). I coded the Can-Bus, the Media Player (also finally deactivated the seat belt chime) but the AMI is still displayed as 'not connected', when I remove the dongle and plug it back into the AMI, the display changes to 'not supported'.
I am not really confident to play around the other codes for my TT RS, the Audi workshop here (Singapore!) is a disaster. Somehow this tells me that the AMI is wired up correctly (using the Kufatec adapter, however also spliced in a Kufatec video in motion module, as well as a Kufatec iphone video connection kit - this is a bit fiddly but relatively straight forward - now I can watch an epsiode of Breaking Bad from my iPhone in the daily traffic jam without disruption).
I suspect it has to do with the coding - can anyone give me some tips what to I may have missed? Thanks a million to the gods of Audi electronics! Andreas
Im just about to do this retrofit, any luck getting photo bucket back up? Or a brief update?
I have a mk1 rnse, with cd changer and Im upgrading to mk2 rnse first.
Once Ive done the rnse upgrade, i will remove the cd changer and plug in the ami, i have the kufatec loom to help.
Once done, I will code in to suit.
Is that it in a nutshell?
Hi, any chance of the photobucket content being re upped?
So I now have the AMI retrofit done in my A4 B6 along with the Tune2Air WMA3000A. When I turn off the car the Tune2Air WMA3000A remains powered up because I tapped the non-switched +12V going to the RNS-E. The question I have for all the other retrofitters is whether you used a switched +12V or not?

Down two games to none in their Western Conference championship series against the Spurs, things aren't looking all that good for the Jazz. But one high-profile TV analyst is still high on Utah.
And it's TNT's Charles Barkley, believe it or not.
Appearing on the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Tuesday, Barkley told the host that "San Antonio and Utah is going to be a six- or seven-game series. I think Utah is going to win. I think it's going to be Detroit and Utah in the Finals."
Whoa. Did Barkley see Game 2 before he made those comments?
Actually, no he didn't. The "Late Show" aired after the Jazz had lost to the Spurs on Tuesday, but it was taped before the game tipped off.
Oh, well.
You've got to hand it to Barkley for at least flying in the face of conventional TV wisdom. When Letterman asked if having the Pistons and the Jazz in the NBA Finals would be a "glamorous pairing," Barkley replied, "You know, it always annoys me when people say that. I wish that we could have Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Shaquille and everybody, but I want to see the best teams."And, "If you're in the final four, you've got a good team."
If you're wondering why the schedule for the NBA conference finals is so spread out, c'mon, do you even need to ask?It's all about TV scheduling and attempting to maximize ratings.
And if you're still wondering why the Jazz aren't on KJZZ-Ch. 14 again until next season, it's easy. ABC and ESPN have exclusive broadcast rights to the Western Conference Finals.
(TNT has the exclusive rights to the Eastern Conference Finals, not that that has anything to do with the Jazz or KJZZ.)If the Jazz make it to the NBA Finals, you won't even need cable anymore. All those games will be on ABC, which is broadcast on channel 4 locally.
Former RSL player Brian Dunseth is doing a nice job as an analyst for Real Salt Lake TV telecasts. But, like many relative newcomers, he has fallen into a bad habit.
Dunseth's is the word "definitely," which he repeats over and over and over again.And it's not necessary to say, "Yeah, definitely" every time play-by-play man Bill Reilly says anything.
Barkley told Letterman he has no regrets about not making a comeback in 2001, the same year Michael Jordan came back to play for the Wizards.
"That was a a good decision I made not to come back. ... He was the greatest basketball player ever, and he wasn't any good when he came back," Barkley said. "Imagine how bad I would have been."
He went on to say he doesn't even play basketball anymore."I just can't play. It's not for fat people," Barkley said.
