What does the future hold for PowerPlay Manager?
Hi friends,
The events of the last two weeks have forced us to make major decisions, which are going to determine the future of the PowerPlay Manager project. What exactly happened? The start of the season has brought problems with server overload, which we have been fighting hard since then. We have spent hours upon hours optimizing the performance and we have managed to find some temporary solutions. The project has so many fans now that we are breaking records in terms of managers on-line. The record number is sitting now at 4,450 which is a truly huge number. Based on experience from other projects, we expected the number of on-line managers to be close to 2,000. We didn't even dream about 5,000. Everything would be fine if this number was not coinciding with the statistical calculation at 6.30pm CET. This causes such a load on the server that we had to make the unpopular arrangement whereby the non-PRO managers are unable to access the game when the load is too high. Many of you have criticized this without considering the fact, that without this precaution, the game itself wouldn't be functional at all.
Despite the fact that these situations are rare, we have been pondering about the future of this project. Soccer is already under development and it is certain to be more popular than hockey. Just consider how popular it is all over the world. Therefore we can expect at least double number of managers on-line compared to what we have now. And this will happen relatively soon. Therefore it cannot be expected that the servers will bear this load. You may think that this is easy to solve just by buying more servers. Unfortunately it is not as easy as it seems. There are two problems. The first one is finances. We already have 3 servers (one web server, one database server and one for pictures and banners) and adding new ones is not cheap by any means. It is almost impossible to sell advertising during the economic crisis and virtually all our income comes from the PRO packs. This sort of a financial investment is a major decision for us. The other problem is even more serious. It is not at all easy to divide the game onto more servers. Our hockey database is connected with the universal user interface. The universal interface, where the forums are, where you can use the "Say to others" feature, is becoming more and more popular and the load created by these features is almost as big as the hockey itself. We have over 5,000 forum posts daily and that's not counting the "Say to others" messages. We are becoming a community portal. These kinds of portals often have a lot of servers. We have this on the same server as hockey. We cannot go on like this and we will have to divide the hockey database from the universal interface so that it has its own server. Consequently, soccer will also get its own database and server. This division is an incredibly complicated operation and we expect that it will take the whole of 5 weeks of intensive work of the whole team. Besides, it is impossible to divide this directly on the game servers. Otherwise it would be necessary to turn the game off every day for several hours. This wouldn't be good for anybody. Therefore we have to do everything on special testing server which will cost extra expenses.
We have been thinking about this for a long time because the future of PowerPlay Manager depends on it. One option was to continue turning off features of the game and last as long as it gets and open soccer for a small number of people who would buy the PRO pack. The other option was to invest more money and go "all in". To redo the whole system, buy new servers and create a game in such a way that would allow everybody to continue playing. We have decided to go "all in". I expect that there will still be people who will criticize us and bash us. They will not appreciate the fact that we are taking a risk. But we have started this project with the goal that people would like to play our game and that perhaps one day we could get something back. We hope that each and every one of you who have read this, will be able to appreciate it. We also hope that this decision will convince many that have hesitated so far to support us by purchasing the PRO pack. We will need all your support especially now.
What is going to happen now? I will describe things in detail here because it concerns all of us. We will finish last small features on hockey in the next 10 days. That includes finishing the skyboxes and tuning up the national teams. Then we will buy testing servers and copy the game onto these servers. Then we begin the work on dividing the databases. This should take about 5 weeks of programming. During this time it will not be possible to develop things on hockey and soccer. Only the major errors will be fixed. When this is finished, the hockey account will get a new server and the universal account will be separated on its own server. The last day or two of the process the new databases will be copied to the servers and the game will inevitably have to be shut down several times for a few hours. When all is done, the game should run smoothly and there should be no more restrictions. Then we shall purchase a new server for soccer and continue our development of this sport. One thing is for certain. The launch of the beta version of soccer will be postponed due to what I have mentioned above. But it is clear that without this, the whole process is impossible to handle. We will keep you posted on the launch of beta version of soccer in the upcoming months, but we can already say that the managers will be allowed to enter soccer gradually in batches.
Finally, I would like to thank everybody who keeps their fingers crossed for us for their support. We will need it. :-) If the whole thing goes according to plan, the game should work much smoother in the future.
Best regards

text: TracyS 2 Posted April 1, 2009 Hello :) I'm hoping somewhere here can point me in the right direction as to what files I should be double checking. I am trying to add an option to a slave product. For some reason it isn't showing up when viewing the Master or when clicking to Buy Now or Add to Cart. I can see options if I apply them to the Master products, but not to the Slaves. I do realize that this is the STS thread and not the Master Products thread - but I'm pretty sure there is an STS page that affects the display of the product_info.php file - isn't there? I can find php coding for options on the catalog/product_info.php file and on the includes/modules/master_listing.php file. However, I don't have any options coding on the includes/modules/product_listing.php file. Should I? Any other files you can think of that I should check for the display of products? Should the options show in the cart? Sorry - I've done so much modification and it was so long ago that I'm trying to jog my memory :blush: ~Tracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Louisa and David describe their day as a "simple, traditional country wedding" – and for me, it's the perfect celebration. They told me their images (by Somerset photographer Michael Riley) "captured the atmosphere, the emotion and the look of the whole wedding perfectly."
The day was held at a 14th century coaching inn, the wonderful and charming George Inn, which needed very little decoration. Louisa worked with David's Mum to arrange the flowers for the day, and made some rustic bunting which complemented their stationery (from Paperchase) and tied the theme of the day together.
Images are by Somerset wedding photographer Michael Riley. Do check out his website here:
Tweets by MRileyPhoto
This is all so beautiful. Shall we?
The English Wedding Blog Interview: Louisa and David
Wedding photographer's website:
How did you choose your photographer?
We were on a budget and Mike was good value – Mike had previously taken photographs for David's holiday letting agency so we knew he was a good photographer.
Were you pleased with your wedding photographer? Do tell… we love a brilliant review!
He was amazing – unobtrusive, he blended in and most of the time (apart from a few semi-posed ones in the garden) he was able to get a lot of candid shots of ourselves and the guests. We love the photos he has of us, which aren't rigidly posed, but capture us interacting honestly. You can see the genuine happiness there. We also love the photos of our friends & family enjoying the day with each other, so we can clearly see that everyone had a good time – sometimes we weren't really aware of what was going on around us and these photos are memories and reminders of the whole weekend experience.
Tell us about the moment you saw your wedding photos for the first time?
We were amazed! We had already seen some snaps some of the guests had taken, but Mike's photos were in a completely different league and captured the atmosphere, the emotion and the look of the whole wedding perfectly.
Wedding venue:
The George Inn, High St, Norton St Philip, Somerset BA2 7LH (http://www.georgeinnnsp.co.uk)
Wedding month:
Can you describe your wedding in fewer than 10 words?
Small, informal, relaxed wedding for family and close friends
Your wedding style or theme:
Simple traditional country wedding
Where did you find your suppliers? (Blogs, magazines, recommendations?)
Word of mouth, google and good luck
What's your top tip for saving money?
Choose a venue that doesn't charge extra for venue hire – we were married in an Inn and agreed a minimum spend on the aggregate of rooms, catering and drinks.
… and which elements of your wedding are you glad you spent more on?
The wedding dress, flower girls' outfits, bridal hair and makeup.
Where did you buy or source your wedding stationery – or was making it a labour of love?
Invitations, favour boxes and thank you cards were from Paperchase; they had a simple rustic theme which we liked.
Did you fall in love with your wedding dress?
Wedding dress designer and bridal boutique:
The dress was by an American designer, Mori Lee, which Louisa found when dress shopping in Cambridge with the flower girls' mother. It was the first dress Louisa tried on! Once chosen, Louisa could not find one in the right size (and, being only 6 months in advance it was too late to order from the designer in the US), but managed to find one at The Cotswold Frock Shop, one of the few suppliers for that designer in the UK, who are based about an hour away in Stow on the Wold, and they altered the dress for her.
Tell us about your accessories: jewellery, shoes and anything else!
Shoes were from Rainbow Club, purchased online from elegantsteps.co.uk. Jewellery (hair accessory, necklace and earrings) was also from The Cotswold Frock Shop. Louisa also wore her grandmother's sapphire and diamond engagement ring as something, old, borrowed and blue, and, as the "new", a gorgeous silver bracelet with the date of the wedding engraved on it from the groom.
And what did the groom wear? Any recommendations for tailors?
Nothing fancy – an off the peg suit from Austin Reed, plain cotton shirt from CharlesTyrwhitt, tie from Howick, boots from Jones.
Beautiful bridesmaids: what did your best girls wear?
We had flower girls who wore dresses from The Tailor's Cat in Cambridge, which complemented the wedding dress perfectly as they were made from the same fabric. Shoes were flat cream pumps decorated with daisies from John Lewis.
Hair and make-up – did you DIY or hire a professional?
We hired a professional, Katherine Jennings from Bristol, who was amazing – so skilled and professional.
Describe your wedding flowers. Who arranged them for you? (florist details would be lovely please)
We bought the flowers (pre-ordered) from the market stall in Bath the day before. We had pale pink and cream roses, with eucalyptus leaves and gypsophila. They were arranged (in vases we supplied) by Louisa and by David's mum! Louisa also did the buttonholes for the groom and best man.
General styling – did your venue need much decoration?
We chose a 14th century coaching inn which had a fantastic atmosphere so it didn't need much decoration, but Louisa made some bunting on the same theme as the invitations, which tied the whole "country wedding" theme together.
Crafts and makes – tell us about any homemade elements of your wedding… did you enjoy them?
Bunting by Louisa; the wedding favours were 4 types of fudge made by David in the lead up to the wedding.
The wedding cake: what kind of cake did you choose and why?
We chose a chocolate & salted caramel cake in fondant icing – the traditional fruit cake is a bit heavy and not something either of us particularly enjoys. It was decorated with pink sugar roses, which were done so well they looked real!
Entertainment: any musical recommendations, surprises or treats?
No entertainment, just speeches, food, wine and good company.
On the day tips and advice:
Be organised so that, on the day, you have as little to do as possible other than get ready.
What's the best thing about being married?
Being able to look back on an amazing wedding weekend which not only we but our guests thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.

Normally, I live in Haugesund on the west coast of Norway. The people of Haugesund are very proud of their heritage and continue to celebrate herring or Sild with festivals all throughout the year. Herring was the main source of income and an important food for many generations.
After 16 years of living in Haugesund, I even developed a taste for herring and really like Denja Danish curry herring. Their sour cream herring is also pretty yummy. But it seems that my education in flavorful herring is incomplete. Norwegian innovation stopped short.
Germany has chili-cranberry herring, tomato – banana herring and lime – mandarin which actually does not sound so bad. I wonder how these would go over back home.

Corpus Christi is currently undertaking a unique, creative, and bold effort to build a world class waterfront in its downtown. Destination Bayfront, along with the City of Corpus Christi and hundreds of interested citizens, have launched a campaign to improve the waterfront using a process that has tapped into the knowledge and experience of its citizens in a way that, from our experience, is unparalleled anywhere else in the country. The Bayfront's Draft Plan was recently released for public review.
"It can become so exciting, it can change the perception of Corpus Christi from a city that's very quiet to a city that has a lot of dimensions to it, that's really one of the great cities in Texas," says PPS President and founder Fred Kent.
Destination Bayfront, a grassroots group of citizens in Corpus Christi, TX, understands the idea of creating a great public multi use destination on its waterfront and enlisted PPS' services to help them achieve this goal. Sensing the real potential to transform the waterfront, hundreds of community members attended a series of public meetings throughout 2010. Citizens gathered to build a common vision for the different kinds of activities and improvements that could occur on the waterfront site. Ideas were as wide ranging as seawater slides off the jetty to farmers markets to boardwalks with local performers and artists.
The goal of the project is to use PPS' Placemaking process to create a gathering place for people in the city and a destination that will improve Corpus Christi's economic health.
In recent years, waterfronts have once again become the focus of redevelopment for many cities, this time as priceless public spaces, and there have been both successes and failures. Although some cities have managed to avoid common pitfalls and have created great destinations on their waterfronts, many more have not. The pitfalls range from privatizing the waterfront with high rise residential or fortress type convention centers to planting swaths of green space that provide few opportunities for people to use them.
The best waterfronts are developed primarily as public destinations and are strong economic engines that support local businesses. They have succeeded by creating highly accessible, multi-use destinations that include green spaces but are not exclusively defined by them. They use the tried and true approach of focusing on creating a place that attracts residents first, knowing that tourists want to be where they can experience how a real community lives.
Waterfronts, Placemaking, and Sustainability
Projects like the Corpus Christi Bayfront demonstrate how both "sustainability" and "placemaking" are both important considerations in waterfront developments today. Placemaking is both a process and a philosophy that takes root when a community is able to express their needs and desires about the places in their lives. It enables people to realize just how inspiring their collective vision can be, allows them to look with fresh eyes at the potential of the public spaces in their cities and sparks an exciting re-examination of everyday settings and experiences in our lives. Sustainable places and cities emerge naturally through this process by creating destination spaces that are used and loved by the community.
The Corpus Christi waterfront has many natural assets. Not only does the City have one of the best climates in the United States for attracting people on a year round basis, it also has a two mile length of shoreline that, for the most part, has not been interrupted by private development. And, it is located adjacent to the downtown. With the project to realign Shoreline Boulevard comes an opportunity to create a strong connection between the downtown and the Bay, as well as a major destination for the region. Altogether, this makes Corpus Christi poised to become the best waterfront on the Gulf Coast if it continues the community based process it has started and stays close to its initial goal of enhancing the uniqueness of the public beach and the surrounding area, creating a signature waterfront destination for everyone.
Our own experience in Corpus Christi started about 20 years ago when Project for Public Spaces (PPS) was part of a team developing public spaces around the newly conceived transit system so that people would find it convenient and attractive to use. Growing out of a process that we facilitated, but mainly due to the inspiration provided by many, many members of the Corpus Christi community, the Staples Street Station was built and later received the Presidential Design Award.
Today, close to 100 years after the hurricane of 1919, which was recognized as one of the four worst natural disasters of the 20th century, there is a unique opportunity to bring back the vibrancy and life that the waterfront once provided to the citizens of Corpus Christi. They have only to seize that opportunity.
Check out the local press:
Bayfront's New Design Ideas Draw Praise at Meeting
A Bayfront Opportunity? Plan Praised; Questions Over Cost Remain
Next Destination for Bayfront Plan: City Council
The latest news:
Texas Architect magazine devoted its July-August 2011 issue to Placemaking and reports on the remarkable story of community involvement through which more than 2,500 community members participated in more than 80 public meetings. Their input was all incorporated into the Waterfront's master plan. Read more here.

Hi Team, I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S8 on May 17th, and I think it has exceeded the 4-5 business days delivery that was promised.
I received an order confirmation the next day, May 18th, and waited until May 29th to finally follow up. I was told someone was "personally looking into it." Jump to June 12th for call number two. again, someone would "personally look into it."
When I called a third time, on June 18th, I was told to contact StarTrack to chase it up myself. So, I called StarTrack who informed me that only Optus can request an investigation. So *sigh* I called Optus, told them this, and was informed that they have launched an investigation. Great, right?
No. After still not hearing anything back I called Optus again on July 4th to be told someone would "personally look into it."
Tracking shows that the phone arrived at Brisbane airport for processing on May 21st.
The only people who have followed up since are StarTrack who called to ask something along the lines of "Have Optus REALLY not sorted this out yet?"
This is madness. What can I do?
Short of an Optus staff member taking up this issue I would be on the phone demanding an explanation. Nothing worse than being stuffed around waiting for a delivery. Hold them accountable by getting names, staff id numbers, reference numbers and such.
Thanks Yeldarb, I appreciate the reply. I do have some names and reference numbers but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I can sympathise with you as I know what it's like. Persistence is the only thing that seems to work with Optus and a good bottle of scotch for when your nerves are completely shot.
@NomDegurre, by the sounds of things, it looks like the handset has been lost in transit.
If you did want to continue with the order, we'll need to log a rekey order request.
Can you send us PM with your order details? I'll need your full name, DOB and mobile number.
If you were given any reference numbers in relation to the investigation with Star Track, please send them through to → http://yesopt.us/pmdan

So instead of providing a bin for you to fill, we will send one of our late model, custom built trucks with one, two or more uniformed workers to carefully load and remove almost anything! Our typical clients are people who cannot place a bin on their property or who have trouble finding labour to fill the bin. They know that by working with us, their rubbish will be GONE in a flash leaving them free to move on with other projects!

This schedule is designed around four main goals. In no order to return general aerobic fitness, to improve lactic threshold, to improve muscular power and efficiency, and to touch on every major training speed and effort in each two week cycle. The workouts I selected were selected based on two main criteria. First did they accomplish the training goal and second they had to work with the training resources and limitations I have currently. Ie, I need to be able to do them without a track, in a New England winter, and in the dark as 11 out of 13 of my runs each week from early November until March are generally run in the dark.
I like repeating a similar or even identical micro cycle a few times through a phase of training. Partially because I can gauge how my body is progressing but also I'm just a very habital person who if I didn't give a damn about performance would probably do the same double every day over the same routes at the same effort. I like what I'm doing to be a bit mindless so I can focus entirely on doing it well. Or at least that is the excuse I give myself.
Without further B.S. here is the schedule
For both week one and two I do an easy morning run, almost always 4 miles because of time constraints, Monday through Saturday. On Saturday the run maybe done as the afternoon session and it maybe longer.
Week 1
Monday in the afternoon I'll do 10 miles at a steady effort- generally between 6:00 and 7:00 per mile, depending on conditions and how I'm feeling. This is a fairly hilly run as there are a lot of hills around here. After the run I'll do either Squats, dead lifts or box jumps. The run is for recovery and general aerobic fitness, the exercises are for range of motion in my hips, power in my ankles and glutes and to increase strength as a means of increasing efficiency.
Tuesday in the afternoon I'll do a Mona Fartlek (http://nateruns.blogspot.com/2015/01/monaghetti-fartlek.html) This is most importantly a bounce threshold or alternation session. I would actually prefer to do Aussie quarters, (http://nateruns.blogspot.com/2014/12/workout-wednesday-australian-quarters.html) right now to be able to focus on specific paces but with no indoor track option that isn't happening. The secondary focus of this session is to touch on a bunch of quicker paces 5k down to perhaps mile. After this session I'll do either squats, deadlifts, or box jumps.
Wednesday in the afternoon I'll do a medium long run. Right now that is only 12 miles I'll build it up to 16, I should go up to 18 but frankly 18 miles after work in the dark is a tall order particularly when sandwiched between two workout days. Physiologically this workout is for basic aerobic fitness and there is a time on the feet efficiency training effect for the leg muscles but for me it is much more plainly about building up my ability to run longer without coordination problems. Finally you guessed it I plan on doing either squats, deadlifts or box jumps after the run.
Thursday in the afternoon, short hill sprints- max effort very short, 10 seconds give or take. I'd prefer to keep with the 100's and the like but without a track that isn't an option and I don't have much for flat areas with good footing so short hills it is. To be honest as a general rule I like short hills better anyway but right now I want to focus on my form on the flat so I'm sorry to lose that. These are obviously a muscular exercise though they do also help increase the stroke volume of the heart. I will start the winter only doing about 10 of these but I'll increase that by 2 or 3 sprints each time. In the past I have done 30 or more sprints though I doubt I'll get to that many. It will be key for me to keep good form on these which is a struggle for me on hills but I have been improving so hopefully it will be good practice. squats, deadlifts or box jumps after
Friday 10 miles, same as Monday.
Saturday 4x2 miles at Half marathon pace. with 3min recoveries with drills. This is for lactate threshold and muscular endurance at speed. The drills help with the latter and with improving form.
Sunday Long run- I'm around 13/14 miles now will try to push out to 20 to 22. Long run is for basic aerobic fitness, efficiency and muscular endurance. I may do squats, deadlifts or box jumps after this.
Week 2
Monday same as last week
Tuesday 3 mile tempo, half marathon to marathon pace, 10x30 second hill repeats at a good effort, but not max, focus on form putting weight of stride on glutes and quads. Try not to hunch at shoulders. This is for lactate threshold and muscular power and efficiency.
Wednesday same as last week
Thursday 6 x mile at 10k pace with 2 to 3 mins recovery with drills- bit of threshold, lot of muscular efficiency and muscular endurance.
Friday same as last week
Saturday 20 to 30 x 20 second sprints fartlek style, meaning I'll just put them in on a run where the footing looks good. Full recovery. This is for muscular efficiency and endurance. Though it is also good for stroke volume but not as good as the hills.
Sunday fundamental tempo run in the 5:25 to 5:50 per mile range over rolling hills. Hopefully as the coordination improves I'll be able to increase the volume on these. This is my single favorite type of workout. I have since beginning the form work I have been able to to up to 22 miles like this but only on soft surfaces. So on the road I've been stuck in the 12 to 15 mile range on a good day. I'm going to start in the 9 mile range and try to build up. I may play with stopping for drills and continuing on in an attempt to 'teach' the body to hold the form that doesn't lead to coordination issues. This is for aerobic fitness. Sessions like this can lead to huge jumps in general aerobic fitness as well as your threshold. I actually don't know exactly why perhaps it is simply that it is an under trained area or it is that threshold is impacted well by not going over it but by testing it from below. I can tell you that these workouts changed my life as such for me I simply believe in them as an article of faith. Also as I mentioned I love doing them. Running for a long time at a quick pace is to me the single most enjoyable training experience.
Odds and Ends
In weeks that I race I'll just drop the hard effort from the weekend. If I race on a Sunday I'll skip the long run as well. I'm planning a few races over the winter. A 5k on the 1st. A 5 mile, a 10 mile and a track 5k in February and a half marathon in March. Hopefully by that point the winter is coming to an end and I'm getting fit and I'll be able to move onto a new training program with more specific goals.

B A I N // Maillots de bain français
Help us raise funds for BAIN! Sustainable bathing suits & retro surf shorts. Designed in Biarritz & made in France.
B A I N // Maillots de bain français
BAIN is a swimwear brand recently created in Biarritz, France. It is the shared visions of Nicolas & Cindy, two friends & designers inspired by their love for the 70's, arts, surf & simple moments.
We (Cindy & Nicolas) met in Montreal, Canada where we worked as designers. Our passion for surfing and travelling lead us on great adventures, trying to live like we were in a 70's surf movie.
I (Nicolas) wanted shorter surf shorts, like the one they use to wear in the seventies, that I could wear on any occasion. I (Cindy) wanted a feminine swimsuit, that would be comfortable and stay on while surfing or having fun in the water.
Unfortunately we could not find these swimsuits, so we made them. We created BAIN to offer you a different kind of swim wear.
We create swimwear for men and women who care about style and enjoy the moment. We are a french brand with simple but genuine values. Our name, BAIN, means "bath" in french. It came naturally as it evokes feelings of freedom & spontaneity. The two bathers logo, symbolize the communion between Man with Nature as well as innocence & sharing
-French savoir-faire
-Respect for nature
-Timeless designs
Casual or fancy, the BAIN collection is exclusively made in France with the highest quality materials. Comfortable, they are made to be worn in harmony with a body in motion, for sports or relaxation.
For our Men's swim shorts we got back to basics : our collection is inspired by 70's board-shorts, improved with innovative modern fabrics.
This combination of chic and comfort can be worn at any time, on land or at sea, on a board or on the sand, in the city or in the countryside. Triple stitchings insure durability. And its secret pocket allows you to surf, run, or walk with free hands and a free mind.
We carefully selected fabrics knitted with polyamide fabrics and 4 to 6 % Spandex which gives the shorts comfort. The "Beaurivage" short received a water repellent treatment so the fabric stays light when wet and dry in a short time. Our designs celebrate retro swimwear while creating a modern aesthetic.
Technical drawings of our swim shorts
Our Women's collection is inspired by nature and gracefully flirts with the 70's.
The "Belza", a two-tone piece, is star of the 2014 collection. Its fabrics is contains LYCRA Xtra life fibers which is ten times more resistant to chlorine, oils and sunscreen than standard lycra. It is both flexible and body shaping. You'll love it!
The "Aigurande" floral reveals and sublimates the back with its flexible braided straps, maintaining the breasts without hurting your skin. Its volume and exclusive print designed in collaboration with New York based textile designer Helen Dealtry makes this suit the trendiest of the collection.
The "Malzanne", fully lined with invisible seams, was especially designed for surfing. It insures your bikini will stay on with elegance and flexibility.
The cherry on the cake? It's entirely made with recycled polyamide and LYCRA Xtra life fibers, proving a light feel, quick dry time, and UV protection (UPF 50+).
With the "Mazlanne" you can stay stylish and do good for the environment!
1- We manufacture the entire collection in Troyes, "Capital of Knitwear", France.
2- We believe in European and French savoir- faire, decent work conditions where environmental laws are respected.
3- The proximity of production sites and suppliers (France, Italy, and Germany) allows us to reduce significantly Co2 impacts on the environment.
4- The Malzanne model is made with fabric made from Econyl fibers, created from recycled plastic. This process makes the fabric more resistant, cleans the oceans and reduces plastic consumption.
Unfortunately we could only produce one model in this fabric since they are still scarce on the market.
5- We wanted a way to re-use our packaging to avoid waste, so we came up with a pouch made with organic cotton you can put your favorite BAIN swimsuit in, or anything else you desire!
6- For every Swimsuits or short at the end of life, send it back to us and we will recycle it. In return we offer you 10% off your next purchase!
By helping us financially with this project, you contribute to a healthy and responsible local economy as well as going a gesture for the environment.
Allocation of funds
We've been working on full time on this project for 1.5 years and invested 10,000 euros, which represents
- Making of the prototypes
- Purchasing fabrics and supplies
- Printing and dying fees
- Creation of your brand identity
- Trade-shows
11.000 Euros :
Production of "Reuilly" in two colors
Production of "Malzanne" in two colors
13400 euros :
Production of "BEAURIVAGE" in 1 color
15800 euros :
Production of "BEAURIVAGE" in two colors
17900 euros :
Production of "AIGURANDE"
27500 euros euros :
Production of BELZA in three colors
This represents
1- Promotion and diffusion of the brand : visual content, internet promotion, trade shows and events.
2- Purchase of fabrics and supplies for the production:
3- Manufacturing cost.
4- Packaging cost : manufacture, screen-printing and fabrics.
We would like to see our company grow, but without compromising our products' quality.
Thus, we will continue to make our bathing suits and swim shorts in France. We are also planning to produce our upcoming collections with recycled or eco-friendly fabrics only.
We sincerely hope that other companies will follow a similar path.
We make simple but sustainable quality retro inspired swimwear, that you can wear on many occasions.

From Colorado to the Assisi Countryside
Shannon and Alison, we've toured together all over Umbria (years ago), cooked together in Colorado (more than once!) and wonderful to have you and Flynnie and Gabriel here with us in our Assisi apartment this summer.
Mille grazie to you all for the kind note you left us:
"We had a wonderful stay at Annie's farm and country apartments this past summer! The setting is beautiful, and the kids absolutely adored all the animals of the farm, including the kitties and dogs, numerous goats, chickens and their signature donkeys. What a great place for a family with children of any age to stay! The rooms are pristine and utterly charming, with lots of delicious little treats set out for us in the kitchen. At night, we fell asleep to the gentle sounds of the cowbells from the adjacent farm. The farm is quite close to Assisi but remarkably cooler than the town, so it was nice to retreat to her place after a fun but hot day of exploring Assisi and other hillside towns. Anyone traveling to central Italy must not miss the remarkable town of Assisi, and Annie's is a perfect place to stay when you do this."
Shannon G., Denver, CO., July 2017
Do enjoy a few moments of our "reunion":
…and hope you enjoyed "sweet dreams" while staying here, Gabriel and Flynnie. Come back soon!

David Morrison's tumultuous tenure on the Prairie Village City Council appears to be coming to an end.
With an 11-0 vote Monday, Morrison's council peers voted to oust him from the governing body for violating the city's ethics code. In late October, Morrison gave Kelley Malone, a homeless man with a drug history and criminal record, unauthorized access to city hall, letting him stay in the municipal building overnight. Police encountered Malone in a restricted area of the building at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31, and learned during subsequent questioning that Morrison had given Malone his security access code. Morrison never disputed the substance of the allegations.
Over the course of a 20 minute public hearing Monday, Councilor Ruth Hopkins directed a series of pointed questions at Morrison, inquiring about the state of mind that led him to give Malone, who said he feared for his life, access to city hall without taking the safety of city employees into account.
"It doesn't fit together that you thought it was okay to let him stay here, but you felt you had to lie to the police department multiple times [to get him into the building]," she said.
Asked why he didn't offer his own home to Malone, Morrison said that because he lives with his elderly parents, "it's not my home to give." Morrison said his mother has a heart condition that makes her especially prone to illness. He worried that Malone, whose medical condition he didn't know, may pose a risk to her.
"In dealing with the homeless, you don't always know what you're dealing with," Morrison said. "Sometimes they have compromised immune systems."
Morrison also said an associate pastor at his church had counciled him against letting Malone stay at a hotel.
"I was under tremendous stress," Morrison said. "I made a huge mistake. I recognize that now."
After deliberating in executive session for a half hour, the councilors returned to the council chamber. Morrison sat motionless in the front row of the spectator area as acting council president Charles Clark called the vote, and then looked shellshocked as the councilors voted unanimously to have him removed from the council. Moments later, after the disciplinary hearing came to a close, Morrison rejoined his fellow councilors behind the dais — and he may join them there again during at least one more council meeting.
The Prairie Village City Council has the power only to initiate proceedings for the ouster of one of its members. It will be up to Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe to complete the process.
Mayor Ron Shaffer said he planned to sign a copy of the ouster request letter to Howe Monday night, and send it to the district attorney's office on Tuesday. Prairie Village City Attorney Catherine Logan said there was little precedent for the ouster of city council members in the county, so it was difficult to say how long it might be before Morrison could be officially removed.
Should Howe successfully complete Morrison's ouster, Shaffer would appoint a Prairie Village resident to fill out the remainder of Morrison's term. Morrison ran unopposed in April's city council elections to secure his second term representing Ward 5.

BBC criticised for dropping LGBT lyrics from 'Born This Way' performance in 'Let's Sing & Dance' episode
This follows a similar exclusion of the lyrics in an episode of 'Let It Shine'
The BBC have been criticised online for cutting the LGBT references from the Lady Gaga song 'Born This Way' in this week's episode of Let's Sing & Dance For Comic Relief.
The section starting "No matter gay, straight, or bi/Lesbian, transgendered life" was taken out of the performance by The One Show reporters. Watch in full below:
Viewers of the show have expressed their disappointment with the decision to cut the lines online, with one writing: "Yet again @BBC cuts out the LBGT lyrics from @ladygaga born this way…and us gays still need to pay a TV liscence [sic]."
This is the second time the BBC have come under fire for removing the LGBT references from a performance of 'Born This Way'. In February, Let It Shine contestants Iron Sun also omitted the lyrics during a rendition of the track in the semi-finals of the competition.
Let's Sing & Dance For Comic Relief, which is presented by Bake Off stars Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, sees TV personalities perform karaoke numbers for charity.
The post BBC criticised for dropping LGBT lyrics from 'Born This Way' performance in 'Let's Sing & Dance' episode appeared first on NME.

This will be a short update. Basically we're working overtime at work, and Becca had shoulder surgery. With that said, I've been too darn busy to do the full P90X workouts. Instead I've opted to do some shorter cardio on the treadmill, and full-body workouts that I can complete in 30 minutes. The shorter time frame means that I can still train.
The OT is nice as far as money is concerned. It drains on my time outside of work though. This will go on for a few weeks. As soon as it's done, I'll get back on the program.

Making a Complaint
Of course, we hope our customers won't need to make a complaint – but if you do, we want to hear from you. We see complaints as an opportunity to review and improve our services. Our complaints process aims to make sure we handle any complaints promptly and with a focus on putting things right.
Making a complaint
We aim to make this as easy as possible. You can complain:
- by email firstname.lastname@example.com , letter or
- via our online complaints report form
- by telephone 01494 480340 or in person at our office
- through a representative (e.g. a friend or family member)
What we will do
- we will log your complaint
- if we can't resolve your issue 'on the spot', we will acknowledge your complaint and ask a manager to investigate
- we aim to write to you within 15 working days, letting you know the outcome, any action we will take and the timescales involved
- we will keep you informed through the process
- if we have got things wrong, we will apologise and identify how we can improve things to stop the issue happening again.
If you are still dissatisfied
We hope that most complaints will be sorted out by this stage, but if you are dissatisfied with the outcome:
- you can request an appeal panel hearing which we aim to set up within 15 working days
- at the hearing, you will be able to explain your complaint to the panel. You can bring along a friend or family member
- we will write to you to let you know the appeal outcome.
Taking it further
If the matter is not resolved at the end of our complaints process, you can refer the matter to a local councillor or your MP, or you can wait 8 weeks and refer the matter to the Housing Ombudsman Service. The Ombudsman can be contacted on 0300 111 3000 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
What is – and what is not – a complaint?
A complaint is a statement of dissatisfaction about the service provided. For example, this may include where you feel:
- we have not met our legal or regulatory duties
- we have not followed our own policy (or the policy is unfair)
- we have provided a poor quality service
- a member of staff (or contractor) has behaved improperly.
Matters which will not be handled as complaints include:
- requests for service (e.g. reporting nuisance or ASB or reporting or chasing a repair). These issues may become complaints if we have not dealt with them properly
- where we are not responsible for delivering the service
- disputes over the terms of the tenancy agreement.
We will not normally consider complaints made more than three months after the event.
For more information, or a copy of our Complaints Policy, telephone 01494 480340 or email email@example.com
