Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!!
The Doll House Kitchen has gone through quite a few remodels and updates since I set up the very first Kitchen using Mom's vintage toy kitchen pieces. I loved using her items because of the sentimental nature of them not to mention I love the look of 1940s kitchens. I made updates to that kitchen for a while... Then I found the My Life As Kitchen for a great price and decided it was time for the doll house kitchen to get an update. Looking back it had to have been providence that I got that set for less than $25 because it's since gone on to cost so much more. I really rather liked that set and it ended up matching up perfectly height wise to some of the gorgeous cabinets that Frann sent me from Russia even! I haven't really got one negative thing to say about that set at all because it was a great deal at a perfect time and the accessories are still some of my favorites. However, as you may have read in that post about getting it, it wasn't really one I 'chose' to go out and get, it was more of a 'it's too great a price to let it get away since you've been wanting to update your doll kitchen and/or review a doll kitchen anyway' kind of a moment.
So, later that year, at Christmas time I think, I saw Journey Girls new Gourmet Kitchen Set and had a 'Oh golly, I wish I didn't already own a doll kitchen because I love love love the way that one looks' moment. I try not to be that way and to be happy with what I have in all aspects of my life but still... It was just so cute. Much more 'realistic' looking than most any 18inch doll kitchen I'd seen so far. I mean I liked that the Our Generation Gourmet Kitchen had a separate fridge and a dishwasher but I really didn't like the 'childish' look of the whole set. I know, I know, these are toys and are meant for kids but I can't help it... I like realistic looking things and I suspect kids really do too. You know what I mean? I digress. So anyway, that kitchen never tempted me in the least due to that reason.
I'm not really sure when they updated their kitchen to this one but I know why they made the change. The older model Journey Girl Kitchen is pretty lame. I mean it seemed to get good reviews but it was so small and didn't even have a sink as best as I can tell? What's that all about? So this kitchen is much better. The price reflects the changes naturally. That kitchen was $29.99 regular price and the newer Journey Girl Kitchen set is $69.99. So, quite a difference!! Given that American Girl Doll's Gourmet Kitchen Set is $225.00 though, that isn't totally unheard of. Naturally the American Girl Doll one is top notch quality and made better in all likelyhood, the price difference is signifigant enough to understand the differences where they are.
So what made me take the plunge and buy the new one? Well, two factors went into it. The first is I got a windfall of cash (around $150) and was instructed to use it only to have fun with. Well... OK! So my first inclination, naturally, was to buy another posh doll. Haha. But given that lately I've been trying to purge a few dolls from the collection because they collect dust, I decided that was a silly idea. So, instead, I decided to just take the plunge and buy this kitchen. The second reason is that I am trying to assemble a second, mobile, Doll House that I can box up and take with me to different venues. What?!?! More on that at a later time but... Suffice to say I will need a kitchen in my Mobile Doll House and the smaller My Life As one will be perfect for that purpose! So, being justified in my purchase, I put it in my online buggy and rang out. It arrived two days ago! I was nearly as excited as a child on Christmas morning. Hahaha. However I was tired that evening and had other plans as well and so I knew I'd have to wait to open it. I know large toys like this take some patience to get out of the box and knew I'd get cranky and frustrated if I tried when I was tired already... So I waited until early morning yesterday. That's why the photos might be a bit 'dark' so I apologize for that. 😊
I was totally right. It took me a full hour to unbox it and get it put together enough for it to be 'played with'. So if you're looking to get this set for your daughter for Christmas or her Birthday, you might just want to open it up and get it all sort of 'put together' before she unwraps the box or you're going to be working under pressure of a little girl wanting to play with it while you're trying to unbox it. Because it took some doing. Tools (well, one) even!
I tend to think of myself as a pretty patient person when it comes to meticulously opening things and such but this box, quite honestly, drove me a bit bonkers. They used clear tape on the doors and openings of nearly everything. Clear tape over even some of the 'stickers' on the kitchen... Tsk tsk. I hate that. Figure out some way to package it without the tape I say because it is a pain in the neck to get off and if you're not ever so careful, you end up with tape residue on your kitchen and/or messing up the stickers by pulling them off with the tape. Ugh. So... I hate to be a Negative Nelly but am also trying to give an honest review. (And warning! Have a glass of wine before you open this! Hahaha! Kidding!)
Can you see the tape? I know it's hard, right? Exactly! What. A. Pain.
Tape tape tape, everywhere tape...
Then I was shocked to discover the freezer drawer had come apart in shipping...? Luckily it snapped right back together but talk about a moment of panic. My local TRU doesn't carry Journey Girls stuff anymore (they have the AG stuff and can't have both) and so returning would be a total pain in the neck!!
More tape...!
They literally hooked the large items from the kitchen in the box with screws. You'll need a phillips head screw driver. Yes. Really.
This kitchen wasn't getting outta this box by accident!!
Finally I got all the items out of the box. Thank Heavens!
More tape!!!
The fridge had the bags of accessories in it. You can see that the fridge shelves and door bins have to be attached.
Here are the three bags of accessories.... One of them is the bins and shelves for the fridge.
Here are the shelves put in. They give you option of three settings which I thought was cool.
All the shelves in!
Here are the accessories in bags. The ziplock bag are the ones that came 'on' the kitchen in blister packs.
Bag one's contents. I love the cookbook and the toaster and the oven mitts and....
Bag number two... Those ICECUBES!! Love love love! That is the largest sandwich in the history of dolls I think... Lots of cute stuff. I am running out of time here or I'd say more about them but they really are cute although some of them are rather 'cheaply' made.
The 'cardboard' accessories. These would be destroyed in a real kids kitchen in no time I think... I mean some kids are careful so maybe not but.. I plan to cover them with packaging tape so they'll be more 'sturdy'.
And here is the kitchen mostly put together with my accessories added... Prism is the first one to model in the kitchen! Who is Prism? Well, the other thing I spent a bit of money on was doll wigs and.... Prism is another new OOAK doll in the Doll House! I'll tell you all about her in the next post!
Out of time for now though!
Happy Friday!!

The NCAA baseball tournament is coming to Lake Elsinore.
The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee announced the 16 regional sites for the 2015 tournament on Sunday evening and the Diamond was named one of the regional sites with UC Santa Barbara serving as the official host.
The Gauchos finished 40-15-1 to earn the right to host a regional, but their on-campus facility did not meet the NCAA's standards.
After seeking alternate sites, the Diamond was determined to be their best option.
"We feel like we put in the best possible bid under the circumstances," UCSB deputy director of athletics Tom Hastings said prior to the announcement. "We can't thank the Storm enough for their willingness to participate."
The regional will be played Friday to Monday. The remaining three teams joining UCSB in the regional will be announced today.
UCLA and Cal State Fullerton are also hosting regionals.

One of Scotland's most notorious murderers has won a battle to force Police Scotland to reveal whether it holds information on Kenny MacAskill's involvement in his case.
William Beggs, the so-called "Limbs in the Loch" killer, has been using freedom of information (FOI) legislation to obtain any details the force holds on the former justice secretary's association with the case.
Beggs was jailed for life in 2001 for the murder of 18-year-old Barry Wallace.
He dismembered the teenager's body, leaving parts in Loch Lomond and throwing his head into the sea off Troon.
An FOI request from Beggs asked for all information held by police on Mr MacAskill's alleged involvement in the case, claiming the former justice secretary had acted as his lawyer from 1994 onwards.
Following Police Scotland's refusal to release the details, Scotland's information commissioner instructed the force to reveal whether it holds information relating to Mr MacAskill's involvement in the case as an MSP or justice secretary, but not as a solicitor. If the information is held, the force must then issue the information to Beggs or issue a refusal notice.
The decision published by the commissioner quotes unsubstantiated "observations" made by Beggs, namely that while a partner in a law firm, Mr MacAskill acted for him and a relative.
According to Beggs, correspondence pertaining to Mr MacAskill was likely to have been found by police during a search of the murderer's home.
Beggs also claimed that while justice secretary, Mr MacAskill had corresponded with a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly about his case.
According to the information commissioner, Beggs argued that Mr MacAskill's "potential involvement in this 'high profile police inquiry' and his co-operation (or non-co-operation) with the police is a matter of public interest and importance".
Fergus Byrne, head of corporate governance for Police Scotland, said: "Police Scotland is complying with the decision of the Office of the Information Commissioner in Scotland to review our response to Mr Beggs in regard to information which may or may not be held post-conviction.
"This review is ongoing and we expect to complete it in the required timescale."
Earlier this year, a judge ruled Beggs' human rights had been breached after the Scottish Prison Service opened letters from the information commissioner's office. Lady Stacey ruled the SPS had contravened article eight the European Convention on Human Rights.
Mr MacAskill declined to comment.

Ahmadinejad Warns Israel Now Is the Time to Pack Up and Go
Iranian President Ahmadinejad warned that Israel triggered their own extinction by attacking Lebanon.
Ahmadinejad warned Israel to pack up its belongings and leave the Middle East before being caught up in the storm they created:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday told arch-foe Israel to "pack up" and move somewhere outside the Middle East, the state news agency IRNA reported.
"I advise them to pack up and move out of the region before being caught in the fire they have started in Lebanon," said Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for the Jewish state to be relocated elsewhere on the planet.
Iran refuses to recognise Israel and opposes any two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ahmadinejad has in the past called for Israel to be "wiped off the map" or relocated as far away as Alaska.
Ahmadinejad made the remark while addressing the 23rd nationwide meeting of heads of education bureaus.
Meanwhile reports from Israel claim that Hezbollah sleeper cells are on alert around the world to strike Isreali and Jewish interests worldwide.

I'm getting getting more and more aggravated with this app every day. Everyday I go to the gym, workout, then come to the app to post my workouts but I can never find any of the damn workouts! It sucks that I have to create each workout from new or pick one that is sort of similar to what I did. Maybe I'm making this harder than it should be.....
Don't you have a plan before you go to the gym?
For me, at the gym, this app works great. I have regular routines I've either found from fitness blogs or planned myself, & i create them in the app. Then i use this app to help my timing, mostly of rests between sets, and to remind me what's next.
Ya I have a plan and a routine I do. I just don't tend to use the app during the workout. I guess I'm just being lazy and get tired of creating my own workouts.
Yeah it's a bit tedious to create workouts often. I have a few I've made that I rotate through, & have stuck with them for months, so it gets to be worth it.
If all you're doing is logging the workouts afterwards anyway, you can just create a workout like 'assorted gym exercise' with a custom exercise called sth like 'gym', set it for like 20 minutes or whatever works for you, add another 5 second 'finished' exercise, and this way you can 'do' the workout in the app, skip the 20mins, wait for the 5 second finish to run down (you can't skip the last exercise so i always leave a five second finish exercise slot on all my workouts), then repeat for however many times adds up to your gym time for the day.
You can copy this workout and alter it to make a couple longer and shorter ones to make it especially easy to add up the correct time. Like a 1hr,a 5 min, and a 20min... So if u workout for 45 mins you log 2 twenties and a five.... (sorry if I'm over explaining this)
depending on why you are doing the logging, the actual content of specific exercises may not really matter, I'm pretty sure you get the same skimble points based on overall time and intensity setting, you still inspire followers by showing activity, and you can record further info (eg. 'leg day' or 'cardio' etc) in the comments
I use a separate app (Simple Workout log) for actually keeping track of things like reps & weight, or time & distance (for like treadmills), which this app is not very good for. I used to try and record that info in a skimble comment but i like the structure of a dedicated app for that.
Nice I'll try that. Never thought of doing that. Ya I wanted the app to keep track of my workouts and to keep myself honest. I'm gonna check out that other app you mentioned. Thanks.
Not sure if you need an app that tracks nutrition/calories as well as distance but I use mapmyfitness for that reason.
No not really looking for that. I use mapmyfitness to track distance and time when I run outside. I'm mainly looking for gym workouts that I don't have to create in this app myself. That's why I downloaded it but I've found myself creating all my workouts. A lot of these are all time based..... I usually track reps.
Why not just make a log then type in what all you did? Wouldn't that be easier if you're only tracking reps and not basing it on time..?
It's virtually impossible to have an app really track reps. I adjust my time I assign to sets based on roughly how long it takes me to do my reps. I just started making a new weight training workout and I see the update allows reps but I imagine it's still time based by assigning a certain amount of time to each rep (rather than watching me and counting my actual reps) I'll try it out and see which I like better... Some exercises are slower than others and i found it simple to just add or remove a few seconds if i found my time wasn't right. Plus i like the freestyle form just a block of time to do however many i feel up to that day.
What i find more useful is it keeping me on track with consistent rest times and not letting me get distracted.
It's really not that hard to make your own workout. You should probably be sitting down and putting time into researching what approach will get you the results you want, and developing a workout based on that, anyway. Once it's made you can use it for months, and make copies for making whole new workouts, or make minor adjustments easily.
For an idea, check out the beginner Weight Training workouts I got from aworkoutroutine.com and made into skimble workouts. I've been doing them for a while now and liking my progress. They seem too simple but the site explains how you maximize results this way, and they're perfect for my schedule.

I'm no expert, but I've been doing this for 25 years and I've learned a few things; one of them is how to make adenium produce seed pods. The photo shows a few I picked last week. As I said, I ain't no expert, but it sure has worked for me. I will start from the beginning, from what I use to pollinate the flower all the way to planting the seeds and having seedlings sprouting.

|Sorry Jim, wish those were from seed, the two on the left of the picture are from JT(the back is an A. Obesum the left front is a fuzzy leafed A. Arabicum) the one in the center back in the black pot is a variegated A. Obesum from Chris and the other three are ones I ordered off ebay(Front right and center are A. Obesum and back right is A. Somalense) sorry. I have three batches of the ones I have grown from seed, the oldest are between 3 and 4 months the second set is about 2 months old and the last set is just about 2 weeks old. I also have one more older one that isnt in the picture because its very pathetic looking has no leaves and no blooms. There has been alot of growth on the ones in the pic since I have gotten them so I guess I am doing something right. I do have a few more that stay over at my moms house 3 older ones(including one from JT) some from the 3-4 month old set and some from the 2 month old set. All from JT are approximately 7-9 months old the rest is anyones guess. What I have done, is the planting mix(which I am told is totally wrong) is 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 compost. I water when needed, fertilize with miracle grow about twice a month, have recently started to make a compost tea for them on occasion when I remember, give them lots of sunlight or I keep them under a grow lite and keep them either on top of or right next to my heater since its so cold where I live. Still learning alot from Wilfred, JT, Chris, and Melissa and figuring out things as I go along. I can say that the seedlings under the grow lite are as tall or taller than the oldest seedlings I have and I the only variable is who I got the seeds from and using the grow lite. Ok getting way too longwinded sorry all.

|LOL, the seed pod takes something like five months to grow and ripen. I think I'm wrong with how many days, but close enough.
Feed Mama plant a balanced fert weakly weekly all along, to nourish the developing seeds.

Mingi Karama :: Many Blessings in Swahili
November 26th
Advent begins Sunday; I'm honoring the holy time before Christmas by sharing a project each day. Some will be crafty, for others you'll need a spatula, notepad or just a sense of humor. I'll also be sharing holiday family traditions and wise words that lift my spirits this time of year.
Unfortunately, the holidays often make me blue. My expectations don't come near reality. Instead of falling into the season depression trap yet again, this project is geared toward reminding me of all that I have to be thankful for — including my faith, the Christmas season and friends and family to spoil in celebration.
(Plus! My goodness. I'm spending Christmas in Santa Fe with my family and the New Year in Malawi with Matty! Giddy, oh sweet giddy, up.)
This baby hat, for example, was completed on Sarah's recent visit. It was given to a new baby boy expected to arrive in January. Liam will be the first child of my dear friends Mike and Sam. I cannot wait to meet him and to squish his baby toes and smell his little baby noggin. A quick cotton knit cap is one of the simplest knitting projects for a baby and yet the practicality and tenderness of this gift always produces plenty of "ooooohs." Look for the pattern later during African Advent.*
I would love to hear your traditions, recipes, handicrafts and way of celebrating advent, Christmas, another faith or simply the season.
Mingi karama,

ROCK HILL, SC (WMBF) - Someone who just won a million dollars might consider taking some time off work, or maybe even throwing in the towel, but that's not the case for Jerry Hucks of Rock Hill.
When Jerry clocked out Thursday morning, he was warming up the cab of his truck when he remembered the sticky note bearing the previous night's winning Powerball® numbers.
He reached down into the side compartment of his truck to find his Powerball ticket to see the first five numbers on the sticky note aligned perfectly with the last set of numbers printed on his ticket.
Hucks is a truck builder for Diamler Trucks in Cleveland, NC. He tells SC Lottery officials that he went back inside the plant and a coworker looked the Powerball ticket over just to be sure he really did just win a $1 million.
"I didn't even have the truck door locked, and I had a $1 million ticket out there," he told lottery officials when he arrived today to collect his winnings. "Then I can't believe I let three or four guys at work hold my ticket and Google the numbers screaming, 'It's a $1 million.'"
His parting words to them: "I'm not quitting, but I'm not working anymore overtime."
Hucks then called his girlfriend to tell her the news before heading home. She was worried it was taking him so long, but at one point he had to pull over to throw up, overcome he beat the 1 in 5,153,633 odds to be a millionaire.
He's paying off his house and will be back at work on Friday.

EAF Transformer
- Year: 2012
- Where: USA
- Product:Three-phase furnace transformers
Italian Tailor Made
Construction type: booster type with single-phase winding and on-load control of secondary voltage.
Using its consolidated technology and the experience it has accumulated in the construction of transformers for AC arc furnaces (EAFs), TES designs, builds, tests, commissions and maintains single-phase furnace transformers with power ratings of up to 100 MVA and primary voltages of up to 132 kV.
Transformers for alternating current electric-arc furnaces (AC EAFs) are used throughout the steel industry. They are used to power arc furnaces for the production of steel, which require high levels of power that must also be variable due to the frequent short-circuits, and also to power arc furnaces for the production of special alloys – these alloys often require the deployment of three single-phase furnace transformers instead of a single three-phase transformer in order to balance the total phase impedance through an equilateral-triangle layout of the units.
These transformers must be designed to resist the high levels of electrical, thermal and mechanical stress to which they are subject during utilisation. Other elements that must be taken into consideration when designing transformers for electric-arc furnaces are the high secondary currents required for the fusion process (dozens of kA) and the wide range of secondary voltages, which are normally regulated by an on-load tap changer (OLTC), either directly on the high-voltage winding or via an intermediate booster located within the same tank.
The experience that TES has built up has allowed to company to become a leading brand both nationally and internationally in the single-phase furnace transformers market. The company's products are used across a wide spectrum of applications by a plethora of major clients.

Hey again John! Hope you don't mind a word from me. This would be perfect if you hadn't eaten up so much negative space. Esp. w/the tail and the hands/arm.
and not toned down some of the interesting shapes like his ass-cheek.
I'd also suggest slope the dark stripe on his hat down more. And fix the tangent with his foot/belly. Maybe push his eyebrows further.
Sorry to be so critical, hopefully I'm just helping. The construction is beautiful, looks all-around lovely! This is by far your best one yet, can't wait to seymore :)

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Gov. Martin O'Malley on Monday became the first sitting Maryland governor to appear before the annual pro-LGBT Lobby Day rally in Annapolis. The event, which was held at Lawyer's Mall, attracted a raucous and diverse crowd of more than 500 with many representing religious and political organizations from all over Maryland.
They cheered enthusiastically as several speakers made the case for same-sex marriage. The crowd roared its approval at the news that Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a same-sex marriage bill into law earlier in the day. While gender identity non-discrimination was addressed during the rally, marriage was clearly the focus.
Sultan Shakir, campaign manager for Marylanders for Marriage Equality, the umbrella organization for a coalition of organizations that is spearheading the marriage effort in the state, and Carrie Evans, executive director of Equality Maryland, were the event's emcees.
Speakers included Del. Keiffer Mitchell (D-Baltimore), Del. Ben Barnes (D-Anne Arundel, Prince George's), Candace Jones-Gingrich, and Sen. Allan Kittleman (R-Howard, Carroll). Kittleman remains the sole Republican in the Senate who is supporting the legalization of marriage for same-sex couples.
"I'm a proud Republican who supports marriage equality," Kittleman said. "It's not a partisan issue. There are thousands of Republicans in Maryland who support the principles of freedom, liberty and equality."
The governor was introduced to loud cheers and chants of "O-Mal-ley!, O-Mal-ley!"
"We are united in our belief in the dignity of every individual," he said. "It is not right that the children of lesbian and gay parents have lesser rights than the children of other parents." The governor also expressed frustration with the animus from opponents. "I had enough of the division."
As the crowd broke up to lobby their respective legislators on each of the two major LGBT legislative issues, the governor expressed cautious optimism concerning the votes in the House of Delegates.
"I think we're doing a little better this week than we were last week, and we need to do better still," O'Malley told the Blade. "We need to get a couple more."
Boy, what a propaganda piece. There was less than 300 people there at most. I was there and counted. Mostly union people. Marriage is one women one man end of discussion

Milan Preview: Gessi
Tuesday, April 1st, 2014
Along with the help of his father, Umberto, Gianluca Gessi founded his name-bearing company in a small workshop in 1992. With a focus on the design and production of exclusive furnishings, objects for the kitchen and bathroom, and wellness shower systems, that small company rapidly expanded into an Italian empire. Today the brand's oasis-like compound, Gessi Park, spans a mind-blowing 8.6 million square feet and combines technology, sustainable architecture, and landscape with a focus on the aesthetical impact that the factory has on its surroundings as well as the adoption of cutting-edge green practices.
During the 2013 Salone, the Gessi Underground Experience—a multi-sensory event unveiled in the construction site, 65 feet underground, of the new Spazio Gessi Milano showroom—was the talk of the town, eventually winning a prize at the European Best Event Awards. "It was built as a metaphor of the inner path that everyone has to take to gain back contact with the most profound part of oneself," Gessi says.
Although he couldn't reveal much about what audacious plans the company might have for 2014, we can't wait to see what Gessi's cooking up this year.
How would you describe the Salone?
During this week, you breathe internationalism and modernity. The [spread] of trends, culture, and technologies from around the world offers a global vision of research on style and forecasts on the new needs and pleasures of the contemporary home dwelling. The Salone is the week in which Milan makes its usual aplomb sparkle, and every corner of the city is dedicated to design.
Gessi has an excellent reputation for how well your employees are treated. Why is this an important aspect of your company?
Our concept of an oasis-like industrial park was borne from the desire to create a work environment where people can enjoy a sense of wellbeing. If you do a quick count, you'll realize that between the ages of 20 and 60, a person spends 60 percent of their active time working. If the work takes place in an oasis, it's much more serene and pleasurable. A satisfied person produces great results and great products.
Gessi also boasts high levels of technology that allow for a low environmental impact. Why do you think that sustainable design is important?
In today's world, designs cannot just be based on aesthetics, ergonomics, functionality, and the ability to manufacture the product. Rather, today's designs must take social values and concerns into account: the environment, energy resources, and new ways of living, as well as new individual and collective needs. Today technology has provided us with new tools that allow us to develop a better relationship with the objects and to maximize the individual's sense of wellbeing within the environment.
What can we expect from Gessi at this year's Salone?
This year Gessi will present at both the Salone with a large space inside the fair's bathroom section and at Fuori Salone with a special setting of the gigantic Gessi Milano space in the heart of the fashion district. I cannot reveal much because Gessi has a long tradition of surprising exploits at each fair, and I don't want to spoil the wow effect.
I can say that we'll launch two new collections that, within their design and styling, go in two opposite directions. One is very contemporary, setting a new standard in decorative plumbing, as it is very architectural in its elements and design to embody our concept of functional art for living everyday life to the fullest. The other is our tribute to classic forms, a pure expression of elegance that interprets a timeless style through the designer lens of Gessi. Both collections come complete with brassware, sanitary ware, accessories, basins, wellness shower fixtures, and baths, according to our concept of a signature total look for the bathroom.

Capacity planning is the efficient use of resources by projecting production needs. It can be applied to your company's computer network, storage, work force maintenance and product manufacturing, among other things. A small business should utilize capacity planning because of the financial and logistical benefits it offers.
Capacity planning outlines the personnel and equipment your small business will need in order to maintain current operations and reach goals. That information becomes important when developing annual budgets and the spending portions of business and marketing plans. When you can closely estimate how much your expenses will be, it becomes easier to develop financial projections.
Scalability is the process of planning for expansion. For example, when you buy computers for your small business, you want to make sure the memory, processor and other important parts can be upgraded for future use. It prevents you from having to buy new computers each time one of your major software titles requires a hardware upgrade. This concept can apply to personnel planning, facilities planning and manufacturing projections as well. For example, your capacity plans for the next three years indicate that you will be expanding your staff by 20 percent. Your office facility needs to be able to accommodate that change or else you need to find a new facility.
Planning for the growth of your small business requires several important considerations. You need to determine if your company will need to add more physical locations, more personnel to run those locations and how much capital you will need to raise for your expansion and growth. Capacity planning becomes an integral part of business planning because it helps you determine how your company will grow based on your projections. For example, if you anticipate a 20 percent increase in revenue each of the next three years, then capacity planning can let you know what you will need in terms of personnel, facilities, raw materials and product distribution to accommodate that growth.
Dynamic Change
The process of capacity planning collects a significant amount of data on how your company currently operates. One of the ways in which you can stay competitive in the marketplace is to use that capacity data to make changes to your organization to keep up with your competition. For example, if your prime competitor expanded its customer service staff by 20 percent, then your capacity planning information can let you know exactly what you would need it terms of money, facilities and personnel to keep up with the competition's level of support.

Words And Phrases That Trigger A Bio-lethal Attack
Beginning in 2006, NSA's domestic security program started to go completely out-of-control by reacting to bogus reports from private security firms, who get rewarded for producing negative intelligence about United States citizens. Positive intelligence does not pay.
The best example, Private Security Firms hired by billionaire Donald Trump. Donald Trump did not get what he wanted when he visited the White House and hired a Private Security Firm to dig up bogus dirt about our President of the United States to discredit him.
Positive, valid and sound intelligence reports of a person of interest, just does not pay. If anyone knows, how I and others feel, who have been targeted by Private Firms, which includes the bi-lateral co-operation with sworn law enforcement officers, agents, and covert intelligence officers is President Barack Obama. Not long ago, these mercenaries were commonly referred to by many names such as pencil dics, hotel dics, or private dics.
While living in Thailand, a restaurant owner established behind my bungalow, was debating if he really could afford twenty-four hour armed personnel security protection, and had given the company reasonable notice. A once peaceful quite Island beach resort, overnight became let up with gun fire, break in attempts, and the owner received many anonymous threats to himself and family!
I wish I could have told him what was happening; as I watch the scams take place by his own paid security personnel, out my back window in the early morning hours. Successful expatriates, those that live to a ripe old age to write their memoirs, learn quickly to keep their nose out of other people's business. Positive intelligence just does not pay when you're in the private security business.
'Eight Pages of Hate'
Is All Criminal Programmers Had Written
I could of quoted eight pages of biblical versus or the first eight pages of Moby Dick, but what they were after was this from "Why we are losing the war on drugs"
"Contact your congressional
representative for a more open and decisive plan on the "war on drugs" before
we have another loss of American lives on American Soil- Billions of Federal
dollars wasted on domestic surveillance that can only report the destruction
and never predict or stop a single criminal act."
representative for a more open and decisive plan on the "war on drugs" before

Like I said, all the money in world invested in domestic surveillance could not prevent this criminal act upon me and the passenger of the vehicle! [These helicopters are operated by the State of Texas and trigger by Military Intelligence upon command of Texas Governor Rick Perry RP08.]

Eastern European migrants sent home from Sussex
Migrants from Eastern Europe have been told to leave West Sussex in a UK Border Agency crackdown on homeless immigrants without work.
Bognor has attracted 20,000 migrants from Eastern Europe who came seeking work but found the recession meant jobs were not readily available.
A significant number of the migrants have ended up homeless and sleeping rough on the streets.
The UK Border Agency says it has the power to enforce their removal if they have been in the country for longer than three months and are not working, studying or self-sufficient.
Sending Eastern Europeans home is hugely controversial and some argue it evens breaks EU law.
Sussex Police says it works hard to ensure enforcing removal is a last resort by establishing relationships with people who live on the streets.
Jon Cuthill investigates how some Eastern European migrants' dreams of a better life have been shattered.

This week's Reader of the Week is in the library every day checking out a new book. He is shown here wearing his library card on his shirt. My school is so large that my talented colleague came up with the idea to have learners who are interested in borrowing books get a library card. This has helped us keep the books accounted for and volume levels reasonable. Anyone can get a card but their parents must sign a permission slip. Learners are proud to have a library card.
Gideon Ndongo, Grade 6, 12 years old
Mother Tongue: Nyemba
What do you love about books?
I like to learn and read in English. It helps me.
What is your favourite book or author and why?
My favourite book is Way to Go, Alex! Written by Robin Pulver. I like it because it is good, it inspires me.
What inspires or interests you to read books?
I want to know how to read the story. I also just want to know a lot of stories.
What kind of books do you like to read and why?
Books like The Three Little Pigs. Books like that help you learn how to read.
What are some of your goals and dreams?What do you want people in America to know about Namibia?
My goal is to learn and finish school. I want people in America to know that Gideon can read.

West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble admits Momo Diame's injury is a major blow.
The Senegal midfielder broke down in defeat to Liverpool.
"We were comfortable but Mo's injury meant we had to change things around and it chucked a spanner in the works," he said. "It shows you how far we have come when we are gutted not to have beaten Liverpool. We knew the last eight games were going to be hard but we've come out of them with the points target we set."

As has become the norm we had a week on the north west coast of Scotland. We booked our favourite cottage about half way between Arisaig and Morrar. It is an ideal location right on sandy beaches and almost all to ourselves. Plus it is a five minute drive from Mallaig with shops and lots of place to get fish and chips made with freshly caught fish.
First we just need to drive there. The car was loaded and we set off. Sam is never sure which adventure location we are going to but is always happy to get comfy and see where we arrive.
Our days follow a pretty regular pattern. Some elements can swap places but the usual items are a few hours playing in the sea. A walk along the coat involving paddling and rock pool investigating. A trip to Mallaig or Arisaig for food and or supplies. Little if any of this is dependent on weather. We don't come for the weather and we come prepared.
The first day was overcast but warm enough, especially in a wetsuit. We had inflatable stand up paddle boards with us and much fun was had climbing on and falling off of these. Sam and Jo watched on a little more reserved than the girls and me
Our first choice for a meal was a dog friendly restaurant where the staff actually remember Sam each year now. She gets thoroughly spoilt and they also have doggy ice cream on the menu. The carrot one being Sam's favourite.
Come the evening it is time to light the fire and settle down on the couch to read, chill and watch TV. Sam was especially adept at the chilling part.
Monday saw the start of a run of good weather, which had not been forecast but which we embraced anyway. Not that it changed our plans. Out on the water. Sam getting a little more involved.
Pretty soon she was always out on or around the boards. It added a certain randomness to balancing.
Pictures where no one is falling in are in the minority.
As you can see.
Sometimes Sam would head for shore.
But usually she was with us on the boards or in the sea having fun and getting tired out.
It was not all playing in the sea though. We did a lot of walking along the coast and beaches. With the sunny weather it felt wrong to be in the house for any amount of time.
There are not many places where you get scenery like this to yourself.
After a few days of really good weather it got a little more overcast but still pretty bright. Sam was settling into the routine and mastering her paddle board
When she was not busy tipping me in, that is.
As the week wore on you could tell how much exercise Sam was getting by how she would take any opportunity to grab a rest. Not quite sure why she needed the high ground for this nap while we were changing from our wetsuits.
Sam really enjoyed the playing in the sea and the walks but was equally happy wandering round Mallaig.
At night she was getting on the couch after her dinner and sleeping like the dead till morning.
Friday saw a big change in the weather. The heavy rain showers that had been forecast for the whole week finally arrived. It made an interesting change at the beach.
It was windier too but not wildly. On Saturday there were storm force winds with gusts over 40 mph but as we were leaving that morning we did not get to play in the really big waves Still not to complain. It is not like we did not have enough fun.
So that is the highly abbreviated rundown of our week away. It was great fun and we will be booking the cottage for next year very shortly. I already posted the video Sam took but may have a whole trip video edited together at some point. I'll post it hear if I get round to it.

Candles were once a primary source of illumination, and in many areas without electricity, they still are. They aren't great light for reading, but they provide a warm and rosy glow that no incandescent light bulb can match, and that's why no other holiday decoration has quite the same charm as the candles flickering on the Chanukah menorah.
Share the joy of candles with your kids with the Rite-Lite Chanukah Beeswax Candles Kit! This simple craft kit makes it easy for the whole family to get in on the candle-making fun – all you do is roll the colorful sheets of beeswax around the included wicks, and you've got candles that are ready to use. It's an easy enough task for young children, with a bit of help, and they love showing off candles that they made themselves!
Reviewers say that these Chanukah candles smell wonderful and work nicely – they'll burn for over an hour. You'll need to warm the wax just a little to bend the sheets of beeswax properly; one reviewer had her kids stick a few sheets of beeswax in the waistband of their pants to warm them up, so they'd have another one ready to go as they finished the one they were working on! And there are plenty of sheets of wax to go around, so a group of kids can work on this craft together.
The Rite-Lite Chanukah Beeswax Candles Kit comes with 44 sheets of beeswax in assorted colors, 44 wicks, and easy instructions.

Albert Quesada / ACME
25/09 > 8/10/2017 Studio
Albert Quesada: "For this new research called Penguins, not knowing how this endeavour will end up, I want to team up with Katie Vickers and two other dancers. I will propose a subject and basic context, and with the other artists we will dialogue, discuss and discover together. Departing from a simple interest in the endless and rich relationship between movement and music, between dancers and musicians, we will investigate the specific music from the Penguin Cafe and play with ideas between concert and dance performance."
"Musically, I know what it is to perform Bach, Beethoven, Bizet, Wagner and Ligeti amongst others, and am currently getting used to working with live contemporary musicians and electronics in a small quartet. Researching and dancing with the music of Penguin Cafe will be another step into working with live musicians. However, I have never worked with such a cinematic and popular music as the one from Penguin Cafe. It is a challenge and a privilege to confront my dance practices with their way of playing music, a quest to share a particular listening experience with an audience, and explore the two spaces of theatre and concert hall. In order to continue my performance work, I feel the need to research the role of dance in live music concerts. Im interested on how orchestras and dance can merge, where dance and the visual display play a major role in concerts."
Albert Quesada is a Spanish dancer and choreographer based between Brussels and Barcelona. He trained at MDT (Amsterdam) and P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels) after his studies of philosophy and multimedia engineering in Barcelona. The exploration and translation of musical structures and compositions into choreography and the invitation of an audience to perceive and to listen to the proposed works, stands at the heart of Quesadas choreographic work. Next to that, Albert is intrigued by group movement and dynamics, sparkled by his collaboration with ZOO/Thomas Hauert. Under the company ACME, he holds many artistic projects, both educational and for the stage. This is together with his long term collaborators Marcus Baldemar, Federica Porello, Mireia de Querol, and Zoltán Vakulya. Together with Katie Vickers he co-directs two educational programs in the USA: the theatre and dance summer program at Mercersburg Academy, and the Practicing Performance / International Dance Festival at the Ohio State University. In 2005 Albert created Solo on Bach & Glenn which has been touring since, and which gave birth to the duet Solos Bach & Gould (2010). This was followed by Trilogy (2011), created with Vera Tussing, an evening of three short pieces exploring musical structures. Albert then expanded into larger, group choreographies with the pieces Ensemble (2012), Slow Sports (2012) and Wagner & Ligeti (2014), an examination of our understanding of orchestral music, Slow Sports Outdoors (2014), Slow Sports Kids (2015), OneTwoThreeOneTwo (2015), a duet inspired by the world of flamenco, and VIVA (2016), where the amateur group De Genoten dances to Vivaldis Four Seasons. His latest work is a collaboration with Octavi Rumbau, Federica Porello and Zoltán Vakulya: It's time (2017). Since June 2009 Albert has been dancing with the company ZOO Thomas Hauert (Accords, Youve Changed, In Vivo Danse, Mono, Inaudible). He has also performed for Benjamin Vandewalle. Info: http://acmearts.xyz
Katie Vickers is an American artist who lives in Brussels. She is a 2014 graduate of P.A.R.T.S. and 2010 graduate of The Ohio State University. She has danced for and with Daniel Linehan, Martin Nachbar, Benjamin Vandewalle, Vera Tussing, and most recently was a guest artist for the Cullberg Ballets production, Figure a Sea, choreographed by Deborah Hay. She has conducted workshops internationally, and spearheaded the Mercersburg Academy Summer Program for Dance and Theatre in the U.S as well as Practicing Performance at The Ohio State University. Her foundation as an artist is heavily influenced by changing roles between dancer, choreographer, and teacher. As a dancer, she has mainly worked with choreographers she has met through P.A.R.T.S as well as whose research stimulates her own work. Katie steers towards environments and various collaborations with people that challenges her development of methods in order to take existing knowledge in new directions. Her own work and research spans through a variety of interests, yet their common ground is questioning the use of the body in order to find the unfamiliar in the familiar. Upon graduation, she has premiered in Monty with her duet Slogan for Modern Times, and in the deSingel in the frame of Bouge B with her duet, 5 Seasons. Currently, she is in creation for a new project, We Will Have Had Darker Futures, with Inga Huld Hakonardottir and Rebecka Stillman that will premiere in the deSingel in March 2017.

From the Introduction:
Amidst the quite and idyllic forest lie the remains of one of the most recent marvels of science and engineering. Only the burnt and blackened aluminum girders of its framework allow the observer to guess at the nature of the craft that crashed here though. Nothing much else remains of the airship that crashed here in brief but hot hydrogen fireball.
Since then cleanup has begun. The worst burnt trees have been cut down to make room for new ones and for heavy machinery to take apart and remove the last remains of the airship's metal framework. Soon enough the burnt ground and possibly a yet to be erected memorial site will be all that remains of this tragic disaster.

So what is the benefit for a potential buyer to take the time and schedule an appointment to meet with you?
"Would you see value in viewing pictures of the inside of all the homes that fit your search criteria, rather than to drive around and call agents and schedule individual appointments to see the inside of each home?"
"Would you see value in reviewing a current snapshot of the market so that you are able to understand the current value of homes that you are researching?"
What are some of the other value propositions/benefits that you can offer a potential buyer?
We call it the "FAB" approach; Features, Advantages and Benefits. Yes it takes time but YOU take a few minutes and place all of your features in the far left had columns of a 3 column page. At the top left it starts with Features, then the Benefits and lastly the Advantages. Write out all the whys and what if's that you can. You'll be amazed at your results.
Features and benefits are important to communicate during the incoming call, but how do you handle the overall communication process?
Your next tip will focus on how you convert the incoming call with more than just features and benefits.
I hope you find this information useful. Thanks for stopping by.

I've been working on this through the week and it's time to share it! At the request of a linux user over at the KVR forum I started polishing up this proof of concept. It's a clip launching/FX controlling set of two presets. You have control over a 4×2 grid of clips, and also the ability to control the first 4 macros on any device in any of those four tracks. Complete with useful LED feedback!
I imagine this being useful in a Live looping situation, or just being able to navigate a live performance with your feet. You know, if you're hands are too buys being up in the air because you are KILLING it.
Anyway, check out the github repository if you're interested!

A British Muslim teacher was left feeling "like a criminal" after he was banned from travelling to the US while on a school trip.
Juhel Miah was travelling with a group of pupils and colleagues from Llangatwg Comprehensive in Port Talbot when the incident happened last week.
The 25-year-old was removed from the aircraft in Reykjavik, Iceland, and said his luggage was taken from him and he was forced to stay in a "horrendous hotel".
Miah is yet to be told why he was denied entry into the US. His removal from the flight comes after Donald Trump imposed a 120-day ban on refugees entering the US and a 90-day ban for most citizens of Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen on January 27. The order also indefinitely barred any Syrians from entering the country.
The executive order was overturned by a federal court judge less than a week later before Trump appealed, and lost, a challenge to have the Muslim travel ban reinstated. He later suggested he would introduce further measures to tighten border controls.
The Llangatwg Comprehensive school trip went ahead as planned, but Miah's removal left pupils and staff "shocked and distressed".
He told Wales Online that he was cleared to board the flight after being selected for a "random security check", but was later approached by an official who told him he would not be able to continue his journey.
"Everyone was looking at me," he said.
"As I was getting my luggage the teachers and kids were confused. I couldn't believe this was happening. All the plane was quiet. I was being escorted out. It made me feel like a criminal. I couldn't speak, I was lost for words."
He was later taken to a "dirty" hotel, which left him feeling "paranoid".
"My phone battery was dying so I went to my suitcase, and that's when I realised the padlock was missing. It had gone. I was so paranoid, I was scared, I didn't sleep or eat for two days," Miah said.
He returned to the UK a day later.
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council has written to the US Embassy in London over the "unjustified act of discrimination".
A council spokesperson described Miah as a "popular and respected teacher".
A council spokesperson said in a statement: "We are appalled by the treatment of Mr Miah and are demanding an explanation. The matter has also been raised with our local Member of Parliament.
"No satisfactory reason has been provided for refusing entry to the United States – either at the airport in Iceland or subsequently at the US Embassy in Reykjavik.
"Mr Miah attempted to visit the embassy; but was denied access to the building.
"Understandably he feels belittled and upset at what appears to be an unjustified act of discrimination."
Last week former Manchester footballer Dwight Yorke said he was also "made to feel like a criminal" after he was told he would not be able to board a flight travelling to Miami from Qatar.

1. Development of a program for the analysis of epidemiological factors in diseasesThe examination of the literature and materials as well as the graphical function of personal computer confirmed the availability of GMAP procedure of SAS/GRAPH soft ware for various analytical methods. However, taking notice of the unavailability of SAS for the development of then factorrelated computer map developed by Yamamoto et al., which represents a kind of computered factor analysis, we developed a program for the analysis of epidemiological factors by means of BASIC langage on a new personal computer having an indicating capacity in 256 colors.2. Architecture of data baseStatistical materials on health and hygiene, various regional data and data on standardized mortality ratio by municipalities, so far calculated by the present researchers were adjusted according to a prescribed form to architect data base.3. Illustration of an analytical method by means of real dataData analysis making good use fo SAS's statistical function was illustrated through the selection of breast cancer, old population ratio, primary industry employee rate and difference in income. Besides, a method was also illustrated, by which the analytical results and the like are changed to the data form of the analytical program for epidemiological factors which we developed recently.4. Examination of the effectiveness of the present analytical program for epidemiological factorsThe results of an exploratory analysis by the present analytical program for epidemiological factors, using the data prepared in 3. indicated the present program to be sufficiently effective as a program for factor analysis using computer graphic.

I currently live in the rainforest in the Northern Rivers NSW
Ive been a Yoga and Dance Teacher for 27 years
During the 1980's I spent many years travelling to India to study with some of Indias famous and esteemed Yoga Teachers. I soon became a Yoga Teacher, instructing both adults and children in the wonderful benefits of the Yoga practice. Continuing to teach and practice yoga I discovered just how beneficial the practice was for my ever growing passion for Latin Dancing. I decided to create a program of Yoga for Dancers which I have been teaching at Latin Dance Festivals and Congresses in Australia. On my recent trips to Cuba I have begun to teach Yoga to Cubans.
I fell in love with Cuban Rhythms and music about 10 years ago and started teaching Salsa dancing. I have been teaching dance classes, choreographing performances, working with Latin Dance and Cultural Events . I love nature, art, beaches, forests,deserts, sustainable practices, cultural and spiritual expression.
In 2011 & 2012 I travelled to Cuba spending 6 months to further my experience of Cuban Music, Dance and Culture. I attended the professors program at the International Baila en Cuba Dance Congress in Havana in Nov 2011 studying the many generes of Cuban Cultural Dance. From here having decided which styles of dance Id like to study furher I travelled the island dancing with some of Cubas best teachers and dancing to some of the best music Cuba has on offer..Every province in Cuba has its own flavor of dance styles and musical and cultural expression. It is truely a feast for dance and music enthusiasts. As I love places rich in nature I visited some stunning beaches where the azure blue waters of the Carribean are warm and full of great snorkling opportunities. The beach atmosphere is totally relaxing and rejuvenating.The mountain air fresh water cascades are home to stunning bird life and a nice way to take a quick break from the street life of Cubas main cities. Most nights I spent dancing to some of the world best Cuban Music in the intimate surrounds of famous dance halls and historical venues, in local parks and on the streets. Everyone in Cuba will dance with you any where and at any time no matter where the music is coming from. The people are friendly and open. The weather is warm & tropical, the rum is smooth the fruits are sweet and juicey and the home cooking is tasty and very nurturing. Cubans love to eat, dance and live life for the moment. For me Cuba is a fusion of everything that makes me happy and gives me a feeling of being very ALIVE !

Sarkozy to meet Putin as French right looks to Russia
Date created : Latest update :
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy flew to Moscow Wednesday where he is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the latest sign the French right is seeking closer ties with the Kremlin in defiance of François Hollande's government.
Sarkozy is due to meet with Putin on Thursday accompanied by a cohort of senior members of his Les Républicains party – France's centre-right main opposition party that was until recently known as the UMP.
The two men are set to hold an "exchange of views … on bilateral relations", according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by Russian state media. Top of the bill "is likely to be Syria", he added.
The visit comes at a time of tense relations between Russia and the West, not least France, over Moscow's military intervention in Syria where it has been accused of targeting moderate rebel forces, along with Islamic Stage group militants, in support of Putin's ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Sarkozy: Hollande's Russia policy 'risks new cold war'
Hollande's government has been one of the strongest Western opponents of involving Assad in any solution to the Syria conflict – a position that has put Paris at loggerheads with the Kremlin.
Russia was conspicuously absent from a meeting on Syria hosted by Paris on Tuesday, that included representatives from Germany, the UK, Saudi Arabia and the US.
Russia's annexation of Crimea and support of separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine has also been a thorn in the side of relations between Paris and Moscow – one that led Hollande to scrap the sale to Russia of two French-built warships last year, a deal that was signed off by Sarkozy during his 2007–2012 presidency.
Sarkozy, along with others on the right of French politics, have become increasingly critical of Hollande's hardline stance with Russia and have repeatedly called for a more conciliatory approach.
Sarkozy's Russian trip, according to one party member, is designed to deliver a "particular message" to Putin.
That message is that "Europe must maintain a dialogue with Russia and that France, within Europe, has an important role to play, one it has not been playing for a long time", Les Républicains MP Thierry Mariani told France Info radio.
Sarkozy himself recently accused Hollande of "a serious error of creating conditions for a new cold war with Russia", a line that has also been used by far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen in criticising the French government's dealings with Moscow.
French right's 'fascination with Putin'
Others within Les Républicains have called for France to cooperate with Russia over Syria, including working with Assad.
Russia has been "maligned so stupidly these last few years", wrote Les Républicains former prime minister François Fillon in a recent blog post. "The time has come for France to revise its diplomatic strategy [in Syria]."
At the same time, a recent Ifop poll for French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche found that Putin is considerably more popular with right-wing voters. While the survey found negative opinions of the Russian leader were still the norm among the majority, 24 percent of Les Républicains supporters and 37 percent of National Front supporters said they had a "good opinion" of Putin, compared to 19 percent among supporters of Hollande's Socialist Party (PS).
"There is a sort of fascination among the French right with Putin's authoritarian regime, which explains [Sarkozy's] visit," Bruno Le Roux, leader of the PS in parliament, told France Info Wednesday.
However, he admitted there could be a certain "usefulness" to the former president's meeting with Putin.
"Everyone has the right to talk," he later told the AFP news agency. "There is a usefulness in maintaining relationships with all countries."
"At the same time, in these sorts of moments, the position of France, the position which is that of Europe, must be kept in mind.
"I'll of course be very interested to know what was said."
