You have to do a little looking to find the good stuff. That means these products are not quite the same as the regular store merchandise, but they should be of the same quality. ![]() These items are usually only available at the outlet store. The outlet is much larger than it used to be and every store had impeccable staff, very friendly, helpful and looked that they enjoyed being there! Do go if you are from Columbus or Dayton and north.Some outlet stores carry merchandise made specifically for the outlet store. ![]() no great bargains there and there still is the iconic EddieBauer store. yes, you read correctly! we did Skechers (great deals) and the newly opened Williams-Sonoma where I got a $300 Le Creuset pot for $90! Chico's was Ho-Hum compared to the Monroe outlet. HA! he picks up a couple of items and comes back to me with a very nice young man who tells us: are you ready? 70% OFF + 20% for total purchase on top of that for the day! I will not tell you how much I spent but I saved close to $800.00. I still have every one of them too.they last for ever and multiple generations!) so, in we go, look around. We parked close to first line of stores and Hubby decided I NEEDED to go into the Coach store (he knows me well and has spoiled me for years with treasures from Coach. Got a very nice invite in the mail with great coupons so Hubby and I decided to go for a ride in the country! We actually went for a buy at skechers and a "Look Around". did quite a bit of shopping there when it was still"small" compared to others in Kentucky and Georgia. This was a hidden gem & I'm so glad we found it! I look forward to visiting again in the future. Honestly, it's probably the best weekend outlet shopping experience I've ever had. My husband found several things at the book store & I found some other good stuff, including a cute Basquiat graphic t-shirt at Forever 21.Īll the stores we visited were clean, well organized, & had friendly, helpful staff. (While they were unable to find the shoe style in question for me, I did find a couple of things on sale & got them at a great price!) You can believe I made it a point to tell these folks what a great job they did. It was the complete opposite of my previous visit to a Nike Outlet at another Tanger location where the staff were curt & borderline rude. I was looking for a specific style of shoe & the associate who helped me moved heaven and earth trying to find what I was looking for & answering my questions about some other merchandise I liked. My Saturday shopping experience at this Tanger Outlet location was nothing short of amazing! First stop was the Nike Outlet. Noisy crowds, stores with less than helpful staff.you get the picture. That happened to be on a Saturday & I'll admit to having a little bit of trepidation, since outlet mall shopping on a weekend day can be one of those experiences that tries even the most patient shopper's soul. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stop & explore, but decided to do so on our way back home. We were on our way to Cincinnati recently & passed by this Tanger location. ![]() ![]() However, we shall save that for a future post.

The guy who gave it to me after we couldn’t find a refill to fit it confessed he got it in China for only $25 and thought it was too good to be true. It even came with a screw-in refill that said Mont Blanc, BUT it would not take a genuine MB rollerball refill. The Mont Blanc Starwalker rollerball pen in the photo was one of the best fakes we had ever seen. The fakes might take a standard plug-in Schmidt-style 888 refill. Even some of the best fakes that we’ve seen, fail on the refill. Mont Blanc rollerball refills are specially threaded and screw into the barrel. Rollerball pens have an additional feature that helps you authenticate them: refills. This Mont Blanc Starwalker rollerball pen fake nearly had us convinced until we couldn’t fit an authentic MB refill in it. Yet, the vast majority of the fakes leave it out. Of course, in recent years, the very best of the Mont Blanc replica makers have started including that feature. However, starting around 1997, Mont Blanc began including that detail to help customers authenticate its pens. ![]() It is nearly impossible to get a good photo of that with our lighting rig. It doesn’t help, that Mont Blanc actually reuses some of its serial numbers and didn’t keep the best records of who got which serial number and where the serial numbers were sent.Īnother detail to look for on authentic Mont Blanc writing instruments is the word “Pix” written under the clip. ![]() The vast majority of fakes leave out the serial number. Only the very best fakes include a serial number, and that only started in more recent years. Since 1991, Mont Blanc has included a tiny serial number on the clip band of its pens. There are 3 obvious details to search for when you look at a Mont Blanc pen made of precious resin.

LED lights retain their color temperature, use 65% less energy, and last longer, reducing the need to replace them. Upgrading to LED lighting will improve your office space’s presentation and drive down your energy costs. Fluorescent lights that flicker into the end of their life cycle output uneven color temperature which not only dulls the office space but also disrupts employees’ productivity. These workplaces often incur high energy bills and maintenance costs fluorescent lights go out sooner and are equipped with ballasts which must also be replaced every so often. So, basically, if an employee’s job is stressful on its own, fluorescents can make it seem even worse.Īll of the above lead to a total lack of productivity.Īccording to researchers at the Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center.While LED lighting is proven to be superior to fluorescent lighting in almost every way, office spaces still use the latter. Since cortisol is a hormone that helps us respond to stressful situations, having low levels hinders our ability to cope with…well, anything. Under bad lighting, our cortisol levels can plummet. According to their study, a whopping 68% of employees were not happy with their current lighting situation.įluorescent lighting can cause a slew of bad things, like: The American Society of Interior Designers did. And because it was a newer technology, it could be unreliable. Why? At the time, LED technology was nowhere near price parity with traditional technology to really be considered an option. After all, 50% of existing office buildings were built before 1980, and LED lighting hadn’t become anywhere near as popular then as it is now. Troffers are easier to attach to the grid than flat panels, which helps evade potential code violations in some states.ĭon’t just take our word for it take our Product Manager, Andrew’s:īenefits of Flat Panel LED Lights In The Office LED flat panels in an office setting.Ĭhances are, your client’s office lighting needs updating.Easier to incorporate lighting controls within the system.Flat panel LED lights make you install additional wall packs/hardware that don’t exactly please the gods of aesthetics.Since flat panels have more LEDs, it can impact their lumens per watt performance.Nicer to look at (according to some.) The fancy heat sink in the middle gives it more of an architectural aesthetic.Troffers make sense because they can be:.Troffers have a more directional/focused light, which some say causes more glare.Easier on the eyes, since they distribute light more widely than troffers.Why? They’re easier to wipe down, clean, and maintain than troffers.Better suited for quick-service applications, like fast food operations, or 24/7 operations like hospitals, convenience stores.Better for shallow plenum spaces, or if you have a lot of duct work inside the plenum.LED flat panels make sense because they can be:.Now that we know that flat panel LED lights stacks up fairly amazingly well against traditional fluorescents, how do you know whether to use a flat panel or a troffer?

A fluorescent bulb emitting the same lumens might last you around 8,000.įluorescent tubes require constant maintenance when they fail, which means extra time and money it’ll take facility managers to head on over and replace them. On the contrary, incandescent lighting may last you around 1,000 hours.Which, in a typical office, means more than 50 years of not having to worry about replacing them. They can offer more than 100,000 hours of operation with no maintenance required.#1: LED Flat Panels are the stamina kings.When selecting flat panels for your next installation, use this as your checklist: Just because a product says it’s LED, doesn’t mean it’ll perform the same.

Windows ( starting since Windows 7, I think ) have started blocking response to ICMP echo requests.How much better does that work ? Not bad, actually, takes a matter of seconds. Now, there's also one single main function which does the looping and calling of pingf. ![]() I put the ping and printf into a function, pingf (yes, corny name, I know). Much better performance improvement can be achieved if we spawn several background processes. Quoting here isn't necessary - since we're dealing with numbers only, we don't need to anticipate word-splitting due to having spaces in a variable. This is more of a stylistic change, but it's consistent with how printf works and looks like in a lot of other languages, with quoting "$NUM" variable. The printf command can be rewritten as so: printf "IP %s is up\n" 192.168.0."$NUM" In other words, it's sufficient to do this: if ping -w 1 -q -c 1 192.168.0.$NUM > /dev/null Since we have 256 addresses and we assume 1 second for each address, the script will take about 256/60 = 4.27 minutes.ĭoing a command and then capturing its exit status with $? wasn't really necessary. So we could force ping to time out with -w 1 flag. By default, ping for two RTT, which can vary depending on how congested is your network, and as far as I understand TCP protocol doubles the wait time each time(at least according to this). The script is obviously slow and ping waits for response from the host. Since then I've learned a bit more about shell scripting, and I once I saw this script, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this answer to add a few improvements. I originally posted this answer in August of 2015. Quick and dirty way, took me about 10 mins to write it, but runtime might be a bit slow,though. ![]() What we have here is just while loop, where we set last number in the address, make silent single ping to the address, check if the command succeed or not (and if it did succeed,then host is obviously up ), and printf statement. Nmap would be my #1 choice, but what if you don't have it ? The DIY way would be with a ping script that goes through each possible ip address on the network manually. See the revisited version below for a new and improved script that performs much faster.

We will honor refund requests, but we would humbly ask that you consider donating your ticket / table back to AAP – Food Samaritans to support our work. We so appreciate everyone who has purchased tickets and/or tables to date. I completely understand that this is a disappointment to you, especially for those of you who have supported us and attended Evening Under the Stars for many years. I did, and it helped guide me as I made this decision. We have some obstacles in front of us, but with time and some creative thinking and planning, Evening Under the Stars can continue to be a vehicle to share AAP – Food Samaritans' mission and engage people to get involved and support its work.Īt a time like this, we must reflect on the mission of the organization. Canceling, though regrettable, is the responsible thing to do.Įvening Under the Stars has become recognized in the community as one of the most respected and enjoyable fundraising events in the desert. It's earned that accolade year after year based on the essential – but not always easy – foundation of "doing it right." We will reimagine Evening Under the Stars for spring of 2023 and look forward to a fresh, new format that will deliver a spectacular experience for our guests while also raising much needed funds to help sustain the organization’s food voucher program. And, as you know prices at the grocery store have been skyrocketing, so the need for our program is increasing dramatically. We simply cannot in good conscience put on an event – even one that is so beloved in the community and so important to recognize our donors, partners, volunteers, and the community as a whole – if it results in a loss which would then reduce the level of support that we are able to provide to our clients who are battling food insecurity issues. We analyzed every aspect of the event to try and find ways to deliver the quality that our guests have come to expect while reigning in costs, and sadly it’s just not possible. The catering alone for our traditional formal seated dinner has risen a staggering 43%, and all of our other costs have risen similarly. The cumulative effects of supply chain issues, labor shortages, food cost increases, and other factors have driven the expenses for the event into the stratosphere.
