When you're designing in the digital domain, you're working with files. Lots and lots and lots of files. You probably don't give much thought to your Finder, but for most designers, it's the interface that you spend a great deal of your time using. Streamlining your workflow around finding and managing files will save you a ton of time and frustration.
Apps to supercharge your Finder
Building on last week's celebration of targeted, lightweight apps that make a designer's life easier, here are some apps that help me get the most out of my Finder and streamline my file management workflow.
Totalfinder is a very powerful tool that adds multiple tabs to your finder window. This seems like a minor addition but the ability to stack Finder windows into tabs is big time saver.
Dropbox as a version control system
I use Dropbox to quickly add a version control system to my workflow. By working out of my Dropbox folder I take advantage of Dropbox's snapshot feature. Every time I save a file within my dropbox folder, a snapshot of that file is automatically created and uploaded to the Dropbox cloud. This in effect is a simple and robust version control system that will store snapshots of my files for 30 days. This allows me to rollback to any file I've stored within Dropbox to a previous version.
Techniques for getting the most out of Finder
Over the years, I've developed (or borrowed) a number of habits that help me get the most out of my Finder and streamline my file management workflow.
Adding applications to your Finder toolbar
A simple and quick way to extend your Finder and increase productivity in your workflow is to drag and drop your most used desktop applications to your Finder toolbar. This then gives you quick access to your most common applications in the interface that you spend most of your time using.
Tips on how to improve your folder structure
The simplest way to increase productivity is to create an easily understandable and manageable folder structure. The goal is to avoid having all your files scattered about all at the same level. The trick is to create a folder structure that is easily replicated from project to project.
After experimenting with several different file structures, I started organizing my files based on an all encompassing folder structure. I like to use folder names like archive, comps, design, docs, gallery and www for my various folder names. This gives me and team members a clear understanding of what type of documents to expect in each folder. Recently I started adding a numbering system to my folder structure for quicker sorting and scanning purposes.
Designing effective naming conventions
Most designers have their own way of naming files that at times can be indecipherable. In my experience, the best naming conventions are simple, easy to understand, and can be replicated across many different projects. I designed my naming convention so that it's easily read and understood by someone who sees my file structure for the first time.
I prefer this naming convention because it's clear at a glance and easy to search against.
Why I don't use dates in filenames
I generally don't include the date in my filenames, as I'm not sure how much value dates in the file name really adds. I prefer to use a versioning system in my filenames. Version numbers require less characters and are not nearly as overwhelming as long numerical dates. If your filename is only made up of dates and project numbers, it becomes hard for humans to understand or search against.
When it comes to finding "the right tool for the right job," what are some of your favorites? Share your thought in the comments.

Welcome to the 10th Pretty Wednesday Link Party! For those of you that are new to my Blog, Linky Parties aren't something new around these parts.. WYWW had a strong 124 weeks, and as most of you know, it was one of the very few linky parties out there that allowed SHOPS to link up. I never wanted that option to go away, for I know, many of you truly appreciate it! I mean.. who doesn't like Free advertizing, right? So why the change? The main reason is, WYWW was just really all over the place/disorganized and that definitely needed to change.
With saying that, you could now link up all your pretty DIYS, Crafts and Recipes in the First linky section and link up all your Shops in the Second linky section!
1. Only family friendly links
2. Fave Fun! :)
Please remember not to link up the same link over and over again every week :) I'm sure you understand why…Thank you!

Spread The Good Word
I am standing on a stadium ground, with a duffel bag filled with imagination. The night is a rich velvety black. From somewhere up in the bleachers, comes a murmur, "Yes, yes, me!" Behind me, a squeaky voice, not unlike that of SpongeBob SquarePants, calls, "Over here." "Hello," coos another one, from what sounds like an undersea tunnel. I blink, and the scene vaporizes coldly.Culture, Digital

COLUMBIA, SC – November 14, 2013 – Quackenbush Architects + Planners proudly welcomes Kenneth A. Whitted, RA, CTD, to the firm as staff architect.
A construction documents specialist, Whitted has over 15 years of experience in the architectural design and production industry. His work spans a variety of projects, including educational facilities and historic preservation efforts. A highlight prior to coming to Q+, he says, was being part of a team to design a new elementary school prototype for Richland County District Two. In addition to construction documentation, Whitted performed and oversaw construction administration activities, including weekly meetings, construction observation and submittal review, for the Polo Road and Sandlapper Elementary Schools, opening in 2006. His initial work at Quackenbush will focus on the Lexington 5 Middle School project.
Whitted enjoys the challenges of design and construction, one of which involved the development of the Allen University Master Plan, a $23 million adaptive reuse project that preserved the campus' historic Chappelle Hall. The project called for creating new space for the largely historical and land-limited campus. Whitted was part of the team that proposed renovating Chappelle Hall, rather than creating a new building, a celebrated win for the university and the city of Columbia.
Whitted's portfolio also features large public and private projects throughout the Southeast, including development of architectural design documents and project coordination for the $60 million, 142,000-square foot Greater Columbia Convention Center, and the $750 million, 700,000-square foot Walter E. Washington D.C. Convention Center.
Whitted holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Hampton University, and is credentialed as a Construction Document Technician. He is a licensed architect in South Carolina and Georgia, and is certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. He lives with his wife, Qiana, a professor of English and African-American Studies at the University of South Carolina, and two children in Columbia.
"Kenneth's extensive experience in construction documentation adds tremendously to our team," said Doug Quackenbush, President of Quackenbush Architects + Planners, "particularly with the range of educational projects we're working on. We're very excited to have him join us."

Competency in a foreign language is one of the hallmarks of the liberally educated person. It allows the individual to communicate with people of foreign countries on their own terms and to gain firsthand, authentic knowledge of foreign cultures by allowing entrance into their world of expression and thought. The study of another language not only opens up a foreign culture for students and gives them an acquaintance with an unfamiliar set of language conventions and forms; it also provides a contrast against which their own cultural and linguistic conventions can be perceived and better understood.
We live in an age in which the effective interaction with foreign nations is essential not only for economic prosperity, but also for mutual survival. Consequently, it is very important that students gain the skills and knowledge necessary to deal successfully with nations of differing cultural heritages. The study of foreign language is a crucial step toward the establishment of positive lines of communication among the world's nations.

elxl - 3Com Ethernet device driver
The elxl driver currently supports the following network cards: EtherLink XL (3C900-TPO, 3C900-COMBO, 3C900B-TPO, 3C900B-COMBO, and 3C900B-TPC), EtherLink XL 10/100 (3C905-TX Fast, 3C905-T4 Fast, 3C905B-TX Fast, 3C905B-T4 Fast, and 3C905C-TX-M Fast), and EtherLink Server 10/100 (3C980-TX Fast and 3C980C-TXM). The elxl Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, STREAMS hardware driver supporting the connection- less Data Link Provider Interface, dlpi(7P). Multiple Eth- erLink XL controllers installed within the system are sup- ported by the driver. The elxl driver provides basic support for the EtherLink hardware. Functions include chip initiali- zation, frame transmit and receive, multicast and promiscu- ous mode support, and error recovery and reporting. The cloning, character-special device /dev/elxl is used to access all EtherLink devices installed within the system. The elxl driver is dependent on /kernel/misc/gld, a loadable kernel module that provides the elxl driver with the DLPI and STREAMS functionality required of a LAN driver. See gld(7D) for more details on the primatives supported by the driver. The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primi- tive in response to the DL_INFO_REQ from the user are as follows: o Maximum SDU is 1500 (ETHERMTU). o Minimum SDU is 0. The driver will pad to the mandatory 60-octet minimum packet size. o The dlsap address length is 8. o MAC type is DL_ETHER. o The sap length value is -2, meaning the physical address component is followed immediately by a 2-byte sap component within the DLSAP address. o The broadcast address value is Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
Supported Settings o Media Type: Auto Select Known Problems and Limitations o 3C905B cards in a Compaq ProLiant 6500 can fail to generate interrupts. There is no known workaround for this problem. However, because some slots appear to be more prone to the problem than others, try correcting the problem by moving the card to another PCI slot. If that fails, try rebooting the machine a number of times to free the card from the wedged state. o Early versions of the 3Com 3C905C-TX-M adapter firmware do not support PXE network boot on Solaris systems. If you are using a version earlier than 4.11, upgrade the firmware. The PXE version is indicated by the Managed Boot Agent version number. This number is not normally displayed during boot, but is shown on the PXE configuration screen.
The /kernel/drv/elxl.conf file supports the following tun- able properties that you can set in the elxl.conf file: tx_start_thresh Minimum number of bytes in transmit FIFO (if lower then the packet size), before NIC starts the frame transfer. The higher the value, the less chance for a transmission underrun error that triggers a transmis- sion retry. Default value is 250, maximum value is 1514. recv-descriptors The number of frames the device may receive from the network without system attention before the device begins dropping the frames. Valid range is 1 to 256. Default is 24. xmit-descriptors The number of outgoing frames that the system can queue on the driver queue before blocking a send request. Valid range is 1 to 512. Default is 128. min-recv-data-buffers Minimal number of allocated receive data buffers. Must be equal or greater than effective number of recv-descriptors. Default (max value) is 128. max-recv-data-buffers Maximum number of allocated receive data buffers. Must be equal or greater then min-recv-data-buffers number. inter-frame-space Amount of time in addition to the standard inter-frame time used by IEEE 802.3 deference rule. Expressed in 32 multiples of bit time. Used only in half-duplex context. This small IFS is to make the defer-after- transmit time slightly longer than the defer-after- receive time. This greatly reduces the high collision rate seen with heavy TCP traffic (almost exactly one collision per ACK), giving slightly improved overall throughput in half-duplex mode. Default IFS is 32. This property is ignored in full-duplex mode. full-duplex When set, it forces full-duplex mode for NIC capable of working in full-duplex mode. If this property is set, the auto-negotiation feature (if supported) of the network controller is disabled. For full duplex operation use full-duplex=1. For half duplex use full-duplex=0. Half-duplex operation provides better results on older 10-Mbit networks. speed Link speed in Mbps. Valid values are 10 and 100. If this property is set, the auto-negotiation feature of the network controller (if supported) is disabled.

AMSC said it was still reviewing the impact of its dispute with its biggest customer Sinovel after the latter refused to accept a shipment in April. As a result the company's share price fell by around 19 percent.
The company has requested an extension of up to 15 days.
In a statement it said: "In connection with this ongoing review, the company currently expects to reverse the recognition of a material amount of revenue that it had included when estimating revenues of 'less than $355 million' for the full fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 in the company's press release dated April 5, 2011."
Last week, AMSC announced the retirement of chief executive and founder Gregory Yurek.
Yurek is set to be replaced by current chief operating officer and president Daniel McGahn on June 1. Yurek will continue as chairman until the company's annual meeting in August.
He will continue to serve as an advisor to the company for the next two years.

RaboDirect PRO12
Visser claims top PRO12 award
ESPN Staff
May 7, 2012
The RaboDirect PRO12 Awards%]
Edinburgh's Tim Visser capped another outstanding season by being named the RaboDirect PRO12's Players' Player of the Year in Cardiff on Sunday night.
His graduation from the Young Player of the Year award winner in 2010 to the stand-out star of the current PRO12 season has come despite his club, Edinburgh, struggling to find form on the domestic front. But for the third season running Visser was the competition's leading try scorer with 13 tries and he also earned selection in the PRO12 Dream Team for the third year in-a-row.
Visser followed in the footsteps of Ulster's Ruan Pienaar in picking up the top award of the season and can now look forward to winning his first cap for Scotland this summer when he finally completes his residential qualification.
It was a good night for the Scots as Glasgow Warriors' fullback Stuart Hogg was chosen as the Young Player of the Year following his outstanding progress during the season. The 19-year-old Hogg has made a meteoric rise to fame in his first season as a professional. He had played only two games for the Warriors before the 2011-12 campaign began, but has since firmly established himself in the Warriors' ranks and also won four caps for Scotland in the Six Nations. The Warriors also became the inaugural winners of the Collision Kings title after a panel of experts assessed their efficiency at the breakdown and tackling.
Double-chasing Leinster picked up three awards as they received a timely boost ahead of their push for back-to-back Heineken Cup wins and a first PRO12 Final triumph. Joe Schmidt took over from Munster's Tony McGahan as the Coach of the Year and Jonathan Sexton won the battle of the kickers to take home the Golden Boot.
Schmidt steered Leinster to the top of the PRO12 table to clinch home advantage in the play-offs and also guided the reigning European champions to their third Heineken Cup final in four seasons. On Saturday they will face Glasgow Warriors in the PRO12 semi-finals at the RDS.
Leinster also picked up another £10,000 cheque to put towards youth development after winning the Fair Play Award for the second season in a row for having the fewest yellow and red cards and citings over the 22 games.
Ospreys legend Shane Williams picked up the Chairman's Award from PRO12 chairman Andy Irvine as he counts down to the end of his incredible career. He helped the Ospreys win three PRO12 titles and also played in the Neath side that lost to Munster in the 2003 final.
He scored a record 58 tries for Wales in 87 Tests and a further two for the British & Irish Lions in four more Test appearances on two tours. He was also voted IRB World Player of the Year in 2008 after helping Wales win a second Grand Slam in four years.
He is due to end his professional career this month when the Ospreys take on Munster in their play-off semi-final at the Liberty Stadium on Friday night. If they win that game then his farewell appearance for his club could be in the final on the weekend of May 26/27.
The other Welsh winner on the night was international referee Nigel Owens. He was awarded the inaugural Straight Talking title for the no-nonsense way in which he communicated with players throughout the season.
RabodDirect PRO12 awards:
RaboDirect PRO12 Dream Team 2011-12: Isa Nacewa (Leinster); Tim Visser (Edinburgh), Casey Laulala (Cardiff Blues), Ashley Beck (Ospreys),Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues); Duncan Weir (Glasgow Warriors), Ruan Pienaar (Ulster); Jon Welsh (Glasgow Warriors), Richardt Strauss (Leinster), BJ Botha (Munster), Dan Tuohy (Ulster), Tom Ryder (Glasgow Warriors), Dave Denton (Edinburgh), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Ben Morgan (Scarlets)

Asian stock markets mostly rose Wednesday after the Federal Reserve chief played down risks from the U.S. central bank's low interest rate policies, offsetting worries that Italy's indecisive election result will rekindle Europe's debt crisis.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 0.4 percent to 22,605.62 and South Korea's Kospi added 0.4 percent to 2,007.94. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.6 percent to 5,033.80. Shares in mainland China, Taiwan and Indonesia also rose.
Japanese stocks were the only losers in Asia as the yen strengthened against the U.S. dollar following several months of weakness that boosted exporters. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 0.5 percent to 11,345.54.
In testimony to Congress on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke expressed confidence that the central bank's low-rate policies currently pose little risk of causing runaway inflation or a stock market bubble. That eased recent jitters the Fed would start to withdraw its super easy monetary policy.
U.S. economic indicators also gave Asian markets a lift. Home sales rose to the highest level in more than four years last month and American consumers showed confidence for the first time in three months in February.
"Asian markets held up well after U.S. stock markets showed little impact to Italy's election results," said Kwak Joong-bo, a Seoul-based analyst at Samsung Securities.
Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest maker of memory chips, televisions and mobile phones, rose 0.7 percent while Hyundai Motor Co. climbed 0.9 percent. Taiwan-based phone maker HTC Corp. also added 1.3 percent.
Yet stock market gains in Asia remained modest, showing that investors have not fully regained their appetite for risky assets ahead of looming automatic spending cuts due to start Friday in the U.S.
And with Italy emerging from elections on Tuesday with no clear winner, there are lingering uncertainties about the fate of deficit and debt reduction measures in one of Europe's biggest economies.
The Italian election result drove markets in Europe markedly lower. If Italian parties fail to form a governing coalition, new elections would be required, causing more uncertainty and a leadership vacuum.
On Tuesday, Italy's FTSE MIB index fell nearly 800 points, or 5 percent, to 15,552. Germany's DAX was down 176 points, or 2.3 percent, to 7,597 and the CAC-40 in France fell 99 points, or 2.7 percent, to 3,621.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 115.96 points, or 0.8 percent, to 13,900.13 on Tuesday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 9.09 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,496.94. The Nasdaq composite index rose 13.40 points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,129.65.
In currency markets, the euro was little changed at $1.3061. The dollar weakened 0.4 percent to 91.88 yen.
Benchmark crude for April delivery was up 4 cents to $92.67 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Helping dads be dads is everyone's business | OPINION
As the warm glow of another Father's Day begins to fade, it's time to ask: what do dads really need to carry out their roles?
Australian fathers work some of the longest hours of all OECD nations. Recent data shows full-time employed fathers work an average of 47 hours per week. One in four work more than 50 hours per week.
This doesn't just take a toll on fathers. The cost extends to all parents and their children. Long hours at work, whether a dad is working in an organisation or in their own business, generates conflicts between work and family time. Fathers who feel tied to their work may find themselves exhausted and with little energy left over for their family. One in two fathers report they miss out on family activities due to their work, or feel family time is less enjoyable because of job pressures.
Our research has shown these conflicts, reported by one in three working dads, are linked to poorer mental health and well-being. This matters for businesses too. Work-family conflict is linked to lower productivity, more burnout and stress.
Fathers who report high levels of conflict between work and family time are also more likely to report difficulties in their relationships with their children, be it more irritability or fewer warm, close times together.
There is also a cost for mothers and partners. When fathers are working long hours, it is usually mothers who have to shoulder the burden of unpaid work. This too is borne out in recent national data, showing these gendered patterns of work and care have been very slow to change in Australia. For mothers, this means their own paid work participation remains limited.
Most dads want to spend time with their children from birth, but also well beyond. Many men do not feel this is an option.
Fathers take only short paid parental leave (around one week on average); and only one in three access family-friendly working options if they work in an organisation.
Fathers also report feeling judged by peers and friends for taking time out to meet children and family needs.
It's time to shift the balance and support dads to be dads. This is everyone's business.
Encourage new dads to get involved with their children, from birth. Support your colleagues, business partners and employees to be as successful a parent as they strive to be at work. Let's ensure our rights as workers to obtain work-life balance extends to parents – mothers and fathers – equally.

General Information
Who Are We?
Baume is the synonym of reinvention. Baume is a new way of doing things. We root ourselves in the history, legacy and watchmaking expertise of Baume & Mercier , our mother company but with another approach to watchmaking. We create watches that are mindfully designed and we select carefully the materials that we work with as well as our production techniques. We put the human being and the environment at the center of our creations while having always in mind that we want to do great things for a better tomorrow.
Our Mission
To design mindfully for a better tomorrow
Our Manifesto
We stand for the challengers, the optimists, the relentless individuals who are driven to improve what surrounds them, bit by bit, day by day. Those that play a leading role in their own lives, who confront expectation every day with the innate instinct to find a better way. We stand for the ones that don't stand still, those with purpose and confidence to question what others merely accept.

Responsible Thinking
Can I Know More About Your Better Tomorrow Strategy?
2022 isn't far away. We have much to achieve by then, which is where our Better Tomorrow Strategy comes in.
Baume is aimed to protect the environment, the future and the human being, based on two pillars: Mindfulness and Collective Intelligence.
Mindfulness is reflected in everything we do.
We're continuously searching, developing and engaging with new ways to reduce environmental impact while ensuring that the final product fulfills luxury's utmost standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Our products are the result of an innovative supply chain and we work constantly to minimize waste. We have implemented the use of materials that are recycled and recyclable and we don't use any animal skins, conflict minerals, or, precious materials.
Mindfulness is also reflected in the way we treat our employees and for us, it's important to ensure their well-being and a fair wage.
We are working towards a paperless world but we can't get there overnight. When we do use paper we ensure that it is coming from recycled sources or it's FSC-Certified.
Mindfulness is to collaborate with our partners and that's why we have created the Employee Volunteer Program that allows our employees to work with our NGO partners.
Baume believes in the power of open innovation and collaboration and one of our goals is to contribute with initiatives that share our same values and push the boundaries while respecting the environment. We will start this year by sponsoring a Student Project from the Material Futures MA Course at Central Saint Martins that will enable us to develop materials and technologies that respect the planet. If you want to know more about our Better Tomorrow Strategy, please refer to the Responsible Thinking page to find out more.
Can I Know More Details About Your Products?
Each of our products are the result of the implementation of innovative techniques in the supply chain that allow us to protect and work with the environment as well as ensuring that the quality meets the standards of luxury. The use of recycled and upcycled materials is part of our mission to bring the principles of circular economy to our manufacturing process.
Our products don't have any hazardous substances and fulfill the requirements of REACH Regulation. The materials we use are: cork, cotton, linen, Alcantara and recycled polyester that comes from PET. One important part of our job is to constantly research and test new materials to make our products more environmentally friendly because as we say, we are not perfect, but we know this is a great start and we can always improve ourselves every day.
Our Iconic Edition has a recycled aluminum case and our Custom Timepieces Series have a stainless steel case, of the highest quality.
Join us in this journey and showcase your creativity to customize your Baume with the materials of your choice.
What Are the Collaborations That Baume Currently Has?
As we say, we have too much to achieve and we can't do this by ourselves. We want to raise awareness about environmental topics and the only way to have a great impact is by collaborating with others. We're committed to search for partners that share our same values and work together towards the same ideal. This year we are collaborating with an NGO called "Waste Free Ocean" that collects and transforms floating ocean plastic into recycling raw material that can be used for sustainable products. If you want to know more about our collaborations, please refer to the Collaboration Page.
How Can I Make an Extra Donation?
By purchasing a Baume watch, you already do! 2% of the purchase price of every watch is donated to our partners. If you wish to make an extra donation to contribute to our causes, please refer directly to our partners' websites.
What Is the Impact of Your Logistics and What Are You Doing to Reduce It?
Like most companies in the retail sector, over 90% of our total CO2 emissions come from our indirect upstream and downstream activities such as suppliers and logistics. In order to optimize these flows, we have already started discussions to implement the best solutions such as moving our quality control out of Switzerland to be closer to assembly.
What Are You Doing to Protect the Environment?
Our brand is committed to creating a sustainable future for business, society and the environment. To discover our Corporate Social Responsibility commitments please visit our Responsible Thinking page.
What Kind of Volunteering Program Do You Have in Place?
Our team is passionate about helping others, which is why we started our Employee Volunteer Programe. Baume team members may spend several days a year working with our NGO partners, where each individual's skills are matched to the NGO's needs. An example of our mutual collaboration is that, this year, our creative team redesigned the logo for Waste Free Oceans.
What Are You Doing to Reduce Your Impact?
To fulfill our mission of designing mindfully for a better tomorrow, we're committed to working with NGOs (non-government organizations) such as WFO (Waste Free Oceans). WFO builds partnerships with local communities and fishermen to ensure that waste is collected from oceans, rivers and beaches. In turn, the ocean plastic will be transformed into fabrics that enable Baume to create a modern and recycled product - while, at the same time, helping us to do our part in cleaning the oceans. Because the impact of our business is so important, we work with carbon credit professionals, South Pole Group, to offset any emissions we can't reduce - from product manufacturing to employee travel. With every watch sold, we support an organization that contributes to a better tomorrow for generations to come, and also support "Life Below Water" (14th United Nations Global Goals) by sourcing materials from ocean plastic.
Product Information
How Do I Know My Size?
Depending on your personal taste, you may prefer the look of a larger or a smaller watch. In Baume watches, there is a subtle distinction to consider. The 41mm display has more pixels, and text appears slightly larger than in the 35mm display. We recommend you to measure your wrist to ensure your Baume fits you.
Are Baume Straps Interchangeable?
All Baume straps are interchangeable
What Are the Principal Watch Functions and Complications?
Watches with a moon-phase complication display the cycles of the moon on their dial (first quarter, full moon…). Moon phases are generally displayed using a moving disk which makes one rotation every lunar month (29 and one half day).
A display is considered retrograde when one of the hands (the retrograde hand) moves backward after having reached its final mark.
In a watch with small second, the second hand is placed in a sub dial on the watch dial.
The calendar is the term used to describe a watch that indicates:
The date (manual date adjustment for each month of less than 31 days)
The day of the week
The month of the year
General Information on Automatic Watches
An automatic movement is a complex assembly of gears, gear trains and other components often not much bigger than a single strand of hair. A watch's precision is determined by the spiral balance wheel, the heart of the watch, which regulates the rate of time through its oscillations. Oscillation frequency varies depending on the model and can be anywhere between 3 and 4 hz, it is therefore important to bear in mind that, despite the great care taken in assembling your watch and its movement, it is nevertheless not as precise as a quartz watch, with an oscillation of 32,000 hz. Further, rate variations may still occur, caused by a variety of factors, including impact, the aging of the oils, significant temperature fluctuations, magnetic fields and wearer activity. In general, your watch time may vary by 1 to 2 minutes per week.
A watch equipped with an automatic winding mechanism automatically winds itself throughout the day as you move your wrist.
Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to the wearer's wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch may not wind itself correctly. For optimal winding, wear your watch daily.
If you have not worn your watch for more than 40 hours, you must wind it manually by turning the crown in Position.
General Information on Quartz Watches
A quartz watch is powered by a battery which lasts 40 months.
To increase the battery life, you can stop your quartz watch if you don't plan to wear it for a few days.
Quartz watches contain a battery as well as other electronic components. When your watch is serviced, your Baume Customer Center will take care of storing and disposing of these components in compliance with current laws.
This symbol indicates that this product should not be disposed with household waste. It has to be returned to a local authorized collection system. By following this procedure you will contribute to the protection of the environment and human health. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources.
*Valid in EU member states and in any countries with corresponding legislation.
Note: All batteries used in Baume watches are mercury-free.
Quartz watches are extremely precise. This is due to the high frequency of their vibrations (32 kHz). Their precision (fast or slow) deviates by approximately 1 minute per year.
How Can I Ensure My Baume Lasts a Long Time and Remains in Good Condition?
Quality is key to Baume. Each component of our watches has been tested before the assembly process and once this is done, we perform complementary tests , such as traction, sun test, water test, aging test, etc., to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Are Baume Batteries Mercury Free?
Baume batteries are mercury and lithium free.
Is There Any Possibility of a Nickel Allergy When Wearing a Baume?
According to the laboratory where we test our products, it is estimated that 10 to 20% of women and 1-3 % of men suffer from a nickel contact allergy. It is not the presence of nickel that causes the allergy, but the nickel salts forming under the effect of sweat in contact with an item (watch). Baume watches respect all the current regulations concerning the components and the products used for their production. This is part of the European REACH chemical compliance regulation – alongside other hazardous chemicals.

Recommandations and Care of Your Watch
General Recommandations
Your Baume watch was both designed and manufactured with great care. It contains a great number of very delicate components, which is why we encourage you to be careful, avoid any impact to the watch, avoid any erroneous adjustments, and protect it from impact and extreme temperature variations. Furthermore, a watch is something rare in that it works continuously, 24 hours a day.
How Can I Clean My Straps?
All our straps can be gently cleaned using a soft brush, tooth brush for example, and hand soap.
Baume's Customer Service Center
Baume watches are maintained by an After-Sales Service Center which meet the highest quality requirements of watchmaking.
Approved through a demanding selection process, only Baume's workshop is authorized to perform service on your watch.
These center undergo regular training provided by the brand, thus guaranteeing an irreproachable service quality by using specially- designed tools meant for repairing Baume watches and by replacing worn parts with original components. Furthermore, tests are conducted using up-to-date and reliable quality controls.
Any repair work not carried out by the Baume After-Sales Service Center will not be covered by the Baume warranty. Also excluded from warranty coverage are watches not containing original Baume parts.
Quartz Watch
Certain models in the Baume collection are equipped with quartz movements. The service life of the battery is theoretically 40 months. You should never leave an exhausted battery inside the watch because as it becomes degraded it may damage the movement.
Important: We recommend that you have the battery of your watch changed by an authorized Baume service center. A battery change is generally combined with checking the operation of the movement and with changing the water-resistance seal in the case back.
User Instructions for Quartz Watches
This guide explains all the functions available for the different Baume quartz watches.

Automatic Watch
An automatic movement is a complex assembly of gears, gear trains and other components often not much bigger than a single strand of hair. A watch's precision is determined by the spiral balance wheel, the heart of the watch, which regulates the rate of time through its oscillations. Oscillation frequency can be anywhere between 3 and 4 hz, it is therefore important to bear in mind that, despite the great care taken in assembling your watch and its movement, it is nevertheless not as precise as a quartz watch, with an oscillation of 32,000 hz. Further, rate variations may still occur, caused by a variety of factors, including impact, the aging of the oils, significant temperature fluctuations, magnetic fields and wearer activity.
In general, your watch time may vary by 1 to 2 minutes per week.
User Instructions for Automatic Watches
A watch equipped with an automatic winding mechanism automatically winds itself throughout the day as you move your wrist.
Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to the wearer's wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch may not wind itself correctly. For optimal winding, wear your watch daily.
If you have not worn your watch for more than 40 hours, you must wind it manually by turning the crown in Position.
Please note that once you have finished adjusting your watch, press lightly on the crown while turning gently clockwise, tightening it down again until you feel some resistance. If the crown is not correctly screwed-down, your watch may no longer be completely water-resistant.
To help you setting your watch we have defined the following position:
Position 0: the crown is pushed to its maximum
Position 1: the crown is pulled at the first step or click
To set your watch, please perform these steps in the following order:
1. Pull the crown to Position 1.
2. Turn the crown clockwise until the watch hands are positioned at the desired time.
3. Reset the crown Position 0.
Metal Case
To preserve the brilliance of your watch, if necessary, we recommend you brush it gently using a soft brush (a soft toothbrush, for example) and warm soapy water. When you have finished, rinse it carefully with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth. The same cleaning is recommended after swimming with your watch in the ocean or a swimming pool. Before cleaning your watch, make certain that the crown is tightly closed (pressed or screwed-down, depending on the model).
Water Resistance
Baume watches are water-resistant up to 30 meters.
Please be aware that Baume watches are not sports watches. You can wash your hands without worry but, due to the materials used for the straps, you should avoid taking a bath or shower, swim or do any water sport with your watch.
When a watch is water-resistant its movement is protected from dust, humidity and any risk of damage caused by immersion. As such, your watch is water-resistant in all usual circumstances of daily life. However, you should avoid subjecting your watch to high pressure water jets (such as those produced by car or garden cleaning appliances, for example) and also protect it from knocks that may occur during the practice of intense water sports (jet ski, …).
The water-resistance of a watch comes from its joints. Because these joints are exposed to different types of external stress (cosmetics, perspiration, temperature changes), your watch may become less water-resistant with time.
Warning: When your watch is submerged in water, do not pull on the crown to adjust the date, the hour or any other function because water may enter the case.
If you notice any condensation inside your watch, you must immediately reach out Baume's Customer Contact Center.
Do not expose your watch to extreme temperatures (above 60'C/140F, or below 0'C/32F). This exposure can reduce the service life of the battery and affect the liquidity/viscosity of the lubricants. Both mechanical and quartz watches are sensitive to severe changes in temperature. Avoid them as much as possible.
Placing your watch near electronic devices that can generate magnetic fields may affect its performance. The effect on a quartz watch will be of short duration only, and limited to the time it remains within the magnetic field. However, mechanical watches (manual or automatic) are more sensitive to magnetic fields. Watches are designed to withstand magnetic fields encountered in everyday life, but certain strong fields can magnetize steel components of the movement, particularly the balance spring. In certain rare cases, magnetized parts may stick together and cause the watch to run fast or even stop completely. In such cases, please kindly reach out to the Baume's Customer Contact Center.
Avoid direct contact with any solvents, detergents, perfumes or cosmetic products which may damage the bracelet, the case or the joints.

Poor body design and sluggish, no giddyup and go, you have to go over the speed limit to keep up with traffic. Not much control over lighting in the car or outside the car. Design like a small SUV. With all the technology not a smooth arise it doesn't always work the way it's designed. Still like jeeps just don't care for this one .
Jeep Cherokee Ratings, Reviews and Analysis
Ratings & Reviews
Considering the quality and reliability of many vehicles today, I do not feel that I have a right to complain; although, keeping the vehicle fueled up when gas was $4 and more per gallon just a couple of years ago for my 100 plus mile per day round trip commute was a challenge, when coupled with scheduled maintenance and repairs. I did find myself wishing that the vehicle got better miles per gallon, but my safety in all weather conditions on the highway, while commuting back and forth to work and home was more important !
I feel that because most other yrs are having too many more serious problems this may be the best yr and model of their SUV line of products. Would buy another one and give this one to grandson as a first car this year but gas mileage is the worst., and I am tired of silver exterior, grey poor fabric, and stains. Considering a Nissan Murano this time.
I liked how the jeep has a great running engine,transmission, and four wheel drive system. I also enjoy the cargo space. What I disliked about the vehicle was mainly the gas mileage, but I also did not enjoy how it struggles to climb hills.
It's comfortable. It's a long lasting truck. It's basic with no frills or fancy things to break which is what I liked about it. Was Stick Shift, Manual Windows, Manual Locks. The best thing about this car is no matter how hard you beat it, it will never leave you stranded. In the market for another one.

Abstract: Participation of employees in decision-making in Lithuanian companies has its roots in trade union movement as well as in the practice of managing companies under Soviet rule. After Lithuania regained independence, employee ownership was used to facilitate privatization. A notable success was establishment of a number of employee-owned companies that were formerly state-owned enterprises during the first stage of privatization. However, no stronger tradition of employee participation has evolved. Current legal regulation of participation of employees - financial participation, as well as participation in decision-making - is not well developed and does not provide for stronger incentives. The solution of current employment and social problems by the Government, ruling parties as well as social partners is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. Financial participation is viewed mainly as a way of employee motivation as initiated by managers and current owners of companies. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7110

If you know Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution, this will feel familiar. It's nowhere near as sophisticated, but it's nevertheless fun. The idea is that you tap along to the beat of a song, tapping the correct point in the screen where the bubbles dropping down the three coloured strings hit the bottom of the screen.
There are four different difficulty levels, but even the easy level proved tricky enough for us. On the single-player mode, as well as tapping the screen you have to shake the phone left/right and up/down. The two-payer mode is great fun too, as you're given targets at either end of the screen for two players to tap on; the iPhone 3G's curved back means it rattles a bit too much on the tabletop, but the first-generation model is just fine!

A stadium full of Yankees fans stood arm in arm at the bottom of the third inning in the Bronx, singing along to "Sweet Caroline," the Boston Red Sox anthem. Irony and sarcasm were absent. Sincerity was the mood of the night.
The rival teams have buried the hatchet - at least for now. Yankee fans belted the Neil Diamond hit during a game Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, showing solidarity with their neighbor to the north a day after explosions at the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured more than 170.
"Everybody in New York knows what they're going through," said Mike Petti, a 48-year-old nicknamed Yankee Mike who for 13 seasons has been a staple of the bleacher section where the most hardcore fans - those who hate Red Sox Nation the most - dwell. "When it happened here, Boston was singing `New York, New York.'"
The teams' rivalry, which has reared its ugly head in bench-clearing brawls and fan assaults over the years, is just one difference between the cities, both among the oldest in the country and each with a rich history.
But look around New York this week, and you'll see nothing but love for Boston.
In what city officials said was a first, the bright-blue Boston city flag flew at half-staff at City Hall, on the orders of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who grew up in the Boston suburb of Medford.
"We stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends in Boston, as all Americans do," said Bloomberg, who in 2006 founded the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. Bloomberg said he phoned his counterpart Monday to offer him any help New York could provide.
An Occupy Wall Street group, the Illuminator, on Monday night projected the two teams' logos in large lights on the walls of the Brooklyn Academy of Music. A heart was inserted between the logos, to read "NY(heart)B." The image has gone viral.
New York Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan said a special prayer for Boston on Tuesday during his Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"You've got our love, you've got our hope and you've got our solidarity," he said later. "You're going to get through it."
Joe Daniels, CEO of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, sent out an email offering comfort to Bostonians.
"The 9/11 Memorial is a constant reminder not only of what we have endured as a result of terrorism, but also of our ability to come together with limitless compassion," he wrote. "In the wake of the Boston attacks, this spirit of unity is more important than ever."
On Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," host Jon Stewart touched on the rivalry in his opening monologue Tuesday night.
"Oftentimes the two cities are accusing each other of various levels of suckitude," he said. "But it is in situations like this that we realize it is clearly a sibling rivalry, and that we are your brothers and sisters."
Tension has bubbled between Boston and New York since the 17th century, when the Puritans, who founded Boston, and the Dutch, who founded New York, squabbled over Long Island.
"We're so small compared to New York, but we're so powerful," said Northeastern University historian Bill Fowler, acknowledging that Boston, with just over 600,000 residents, is smaller than the borough of Brooklyn. "On per capita basis, we've got you beat, it's just that you're bigger."
Yankees fan and New York native Steve Sanzillo is still going back and forth with his Sox fan wife, Boston native Christine Sanzillo, over which baseball team their 19-month-old son, Jackson, will root for. For Steve Sanzillo, Monday's attack did more to unify the cities than any rivalry could divide.
"It just brings back all the memories of 2001," he said. "I think I speak for all New Yorkers by saying our hearts are with Boston."
Christine Sanzillo, wearing a Sox hat, said, "I've been getting a lot of looks, kind nods. It's a positive energy here today. Once my mother had a beer poured on her head."
Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" makes no specific mention of Boston or the Red Sox, but the team started playing it regularly at Fenway Park more than a decade ago and fans took to it, singing along as loudly as possible.
Ballparks across the country played the song during Tuesday's games, but the singalong was especially poignant at Yankee Stadium, where many fans are residents of a city no stranger to terrorism.
During a moment of silence at the start of the game, a large commemorative ribbon with logos from the two teams was shown on the electronic board atop the ballpark.
"But what's going to happen when the Knicks and Celtics square off?" Petti - Yankee Mike - said, referring to the upcoming playoff game between the two cities' basketball teams.
"They'll show some respect," he said, "then they're going to want to beat each other."
Associated Press writer Jennifer Peltz contributed to this report.

Nathan Redmond found the net on his Southampton debut as Saints battled back from a goal down to take a point in Claude Puel's first competitive match as manager.
Puel opted to employ the diamond formation, with Oriol Romeu at the base and James Ward-Prowse partnering Steven Davis in the centre. Duan Tadić played in an advanced role, tucked in behind Redmond and Shane Long.
Meanwhile, Maya Yoshida and Matt Targett started in the backline alongside Cédric and Virgil Van Dijk, with José Fonte and Ryan Bertrand missing out due to fitness issues.
Saints went close to breaking the deadlock within the opening minute, but Tadić saw his free-kick parried by Heurelho Gomes and the Watford defence eventually scrambled the ball away.
The first goal of the season at St. Mary's came for the visitors, with Etienne Capoue lashing past Fraser Forster after a knock-down from Troy Deeney teed up the Frenchman.
Tadić danced his way past a sea of yellow shirts before lifting a ball towards the far post, but Long could only nod wide.
Redmond volleyed wide before going closer yet moments later when his curling effort was turned away by Gomes.
The debutant would soon have his first goal in Saints colours, volleying in on his left foot after Gomes failed to deal with Davis' corner.
Yoshida flicked a delivery from Davis just over the crossbar, before Ben Watson, who had only come on as a substitute 10 minutes earlier, was given his marching orders for a foul on Long as he raced in on goal.
Redmond could have been forgiven for thinking he had won the game with five minutes left to play, but the offside flag denied him a winner after he fired past Gomes.
Saints were forced to settle for a point, as the Puel era began with a home draw.
Next up for Southampton is a trip to Manchester United on Friday the 19th of August - kick-off at 20:00.
SAINTS: Forster; Cédric (Pied - 79'), Yoshida, Van Dijk, Targett; Romeu; Ward-Prowse (Højbjerg - 54'), Davis; Tadić; Long (Austin - 83'), Redmond.
Unused Subs: McCarthy, Fonte, Clasie, Rodriguez.
