Whitney Houston -Step by step

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWa5vE4MUpU

----------------------
une star une voix disparait
quelle tristesse aujourd'hui
je ne t'oublierai pas Whitney
va au paradis
--------------------
paix à son ame......... = RIP

-------------------
I'm so glad I came onto Whitney's youtube and didnt see any immature,negative comments. Let us celebrate Whitney's LEGACY & not what the mediia portrayed her as. She was and is still OUR BABY TONIGHT. R.I.P Whitney We'll always love you <3
-------------------
Well, she has just taken another step in her life journey and is in a way better place. Some will struggle to have the maturity to respect the choices she made that culminated in this tragedy. There is no condemnation in this, only a lesson for those with ears to hear.

Whitney Houston: I Look To

RIP Whitney
You're the greatest love of all, Whitny Houston.

Rest In Peace
----------------------------
lyrics :
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
Im lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

After losing my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if Im gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

Oh yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you


(my levies have broken, my walls have come)

Coming down on me

(crumbling down on me)

All the rain is falling

(the rain is falling, defeat is calling)

Set me free

(i need you to set me free)

Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength has gone
in you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

and when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

yeah

I look to you
oooooooh
I look to you


----------------
Umm.... no sweetie. This is a song about resilience and she talking to God. She is referring to all her earthly struggles and how she hasn't made the best decisions when she was in the world and now she realizes once again that when man, friends, family, etc have gone... the one constant strength that she can count on, is God :) Look at the words... she definitely is not referring to a human.
----------------
Shes been called home, not to her home on earth, but called to the home in heaven, the home that beckons to all of us eventually. A home where theres no more sorrow, no more pain. Rip Whitney, you will be missed.
----------------
god bless her soul i loved whitney she helped me through the goodtimes and hard times may she rest in peace
-------------------
To Whitney Houston....You were one of the greatest voices and pop divas our world ever knew and you went out way too soon....but, now you can finally be at peace and be free to sing without judgement....for GOD, who loves you dearly!!! RIP Whitney Houston!!! Regardless of what many have said about you....you will always be GREAT and a TRUE LEGEND in my heart!!!
--------------------------
You always was gifted with a voice of an angel, now you sing before the Lord.






greatest love of all

-------------------
Goodbye Whitney. We all loved you so much that words could never describe it. Thank you so very much for being you and sharing yourself with us. Ours was the greatest love and that was our love towards you. Thank you God.......Thank you Lord for having blessed us with this wonderful human being with such a wondeful voice that gave us all so much happiness in our lives.
---------------------
This was our graduation song in elementary school. We all had to memorize the words and sing as a group. We listened to it over and over again to make sure we got it right. Thank you Whitney for being a part of our lives.  Rest in Peace.

“Just-in-Time” is the ideal practice for the shop floor

Most factories face situations where products could not be assembled due to the lack of certain components.

In such a case, workers would need to hunt for missing components on a regular basis.

Some factories decide to hold an excess amount of inventories to avoid a shortage of components and late deliveries of finished products to end users.

Holding excess inventories also has a consequence for wasteful components if improperly allocated to accommodate the production output for any given moment.

In such cases, a dramatic increase in production costs often becomes inescapable.


机上の空論

ERP was able to provide only a theorized “Just-in-Time” that may not yield desired results in practice.  The desired result of “Just-in-Time” is only attainable when its meaning and application are clearly understood.
