This should be a simple question regarding installing a new application into the iPAD.
I have PC #1 through which I synced all my Application - works fine.
I downloaded from iTune Store a new Application into my PC #2.
This is now the only application on PC #2.
I connect my Fully loaded iPAD into PC#2 and go to the Sync Command.
I am getting a warning that all my applications on the iPAD will be erased.
So what is it ?
A false warning ?
There should be a simple way to add applications from other computers.
Should I continue and iTune will just install that single application on PC#2 .
I hate that iTune...

It was a really sweet event. I appreciate the Mid West sense of hospitality more and more. I think they are brought up to be incredibly generous and polite, unlike us pushy New Yorkers.

The Unsettled Nature of the Union
Responding to Bradford R. Clark, The Eleventh Amendment and the Nature of the Union, 123 Harv. L. Rev. 1817 (2010)
In his article, The Eleventh Amendment and the Nature of the Union, Professor Bradford Clark offered an explanation for the puzzling text of the Eleventh Amendment, which appears to preclude federal jurisdiction over suits against a state by citizens of other states but not by its own citizens. Professor Clark argued that the Amendment's text made sense to the Founders because they did not envision any suits against the states arising under federal law. Thus, by clarifying that the states could not be sued under Article III's diversity provisions, the Amendment's framers were effectively precluding all suits against the states in federal court. In this response, Professor Carlos M. Vázquez notes that Professor Clark's defense of the Eleventh Amendment's text combines a narrow claim and a broad claim. Professor Vázquez finds Professor Clark's narrow claim that the Founders understood that the federal obligations of the states would be enforceable in suits against state officials rather than the states themselves to be well supported. On the other hand, Professor Vázquez is unconvinced by Professor Clark's broader claim that the Founders understood that the federal government would lack the power to impose legal obligations on the states. He finds Professor Clark's evidence for this claim to be equivocal, most of it being susceptible to a narrower reading. In his view, the Founders did not settle this particular aspect of the legislative power of the federal government.

Top Onsite Factors for 2012
Onsite factors play a role in ranking your site in the SERP's. The question that most people want to know is what onsite factors they should spend more time on, and which ones are the most important for your site. I have created a list of the top onsite factors for the future, which I feel will have the most effect on your rankings.
1. Content
Good content is what people are looking for whenever they search on Google. If your page is optimised for a certain keyword, but your content is not up to scratch, then you will still be faced with a high bounce rate which I will touch on further down in the article. Your content needs to be good quality and also unique. Duplicate content, as we all know, is something that Google hates and you do not want to see your site get penalised for this.
2. Title Tags
Title tags are usually the first thing people will see when they are looking at the results pages and it also draws people to click on your site. A title tag for a SEO website that just has your company name in e.g. "seoexample.com" will not get as many clicks as a title tag like "Search engine marketing company – seoexample.com". Some general rules for your title tag is to keep it under 70 characters to avoid it being cut off with "…..…" in the results page. Basically, your title tag should consist of your brand name and keyword, with the keyword coming in front of your brand name.
3. User Friendliness
The layout and usability of your site is a critical factor to keep in mind. If a user has come to your site and they can't find their way around it, they will leave and try to find a better site that is more user friendly. If a person leaves your site because of this, then you will have an increased bounce rate and low time on site figure in your analytics. This will give Google the impression that your site is not really all that valuable. Try to make sure your sites layout is easy to follow by adding breadcrumbs and good menus that won't leave visitors frustrated.
4. URL Structure
Something that looks messy and also gets frowned upon by the search engines is a long and untidy URL structure. A URL structure like this www.url.com/jshyh%%20abcdefg66%%, will lose every time when compared to www.url.com/neat-url. Having a keyword in the URL will increase your CTR which automatically tells Google that the page is important for the keyword the user searched for – and hence helps you in the rankings. This is also effective for when you are link building and somebody offers you a link to, what I call, a naked link. This is a link that is just the URL of the page and no specific anchor text. Your link will still be of some value if the keyword is present in the URL.
5. Internal Linking
The best place to start a link building campaign is at your very own site. Internal links are the easiest links you will ever gain. These links will help you mostly with ranking deeper pages on your website, or just getting them noticed in the first place. In link building, you may find it extremely hard to get somebody to link to a deep page so internal links should be your first option.
6. H1 Tags
A great title tag coupled with a H1 heading that is just is good will give you excellent results. The H1 heading is the next thing people will see once they click through to your website. Even though people only look at this H1 for probably 2 seconds, the search engines look at it for a much longer time. A page about vehicle tracking should basically have the words vehicle tracking in the H1 heading as well. This might seem like common sense, but many sites have overlooked this in the past or failed to create a suitable and effective one for their pages. It is bestthat your H1 and title tags differ slightly, even though they have the same keyword.
There are many other factors which Google could take into account, but I feel that these are the most important to start off with for your website.

hello there! I have quick question. In sections of a post, I format the section titles as H3 or h2. is that a good practice?
Moosa Hemani Reply:
June 21st, 2011 at 5:25 amI think its better to stay with Multiple H1s at least if the headings are not more then 3 or 4!!
on post what i see missing here is IMG ALT tag… usually people don't consider adding them but having a optimized alt tag have a direct impact on rankings…
Google v Reply:
October 20th, 2011 at 2:41 amSpot on here.. Do think if you use italics on the H1 tags it has more of an effect? I feel that google indexes more pages when I use italics– bold I have not seen any results.
Thanks Moosa! Do i need a WP plugin to do that?
Darren Vrede Reply:
June 24th, 2011 at 8:04 amHi Nica.
If you talking about adding the alternate text for your images then you do not need a plugin for that. If you have the latest version of wordpress then you can specify the ALT tag when you upload the image to the post:-)
Thx to for your sharing, that is very useful …. you've share a great post which gives more knowledge for the readers.
SeoMoz has just come out with a huge study on 2011 ranking factors and according to them H1s are not as important as they used to be if any at all. Wondering if you've read that and what you think?
I'm trying my own tests on this too to see if removing an H1 or if the length of H1 has any effect.
Great tips! Would be helpful for newcomer.
Are these link building companys cheap?
Thx to for your sharing, that is very useful …. you've share a great post which gives more knowledge for the readers.
Hey guys,
Whats your opinion on keyword density. I know you should always create content for humans, but it is still possible to adjust keyword density withing reason without affecting the quality of the copy. It would be good to get your professional opinion.
Sean -
@sean…use the percentage of using your key words in your content page wise.Use you numerous keywords, products names in your content one by one connecting them all with the flow…also highlight your keywords , perhaps relevant content including your keywords.
thanks for the info.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sen. Joe Manchin will vote to reverse an earlier measure that would have defunded the Affordable Care Act, despite his opposition to a key piece of the health care law.
Manchin said while he opposes a section of the law requiring all U.S. citizens to have health insurance coverage, he would not support a government shutdown to see the mandate abolished or delayed.
Congress is currently in a budget standoff over the law.
Members have until Sept. 30 to pass a budget, or else almost all operations of the U.S. government will shut down. The Republican-led House of Representatives passed a funding bill last Friday that would keep the government open, but also would strike down the Affordable Care Act.
Leaders in the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate have made it clear they will not pass that bill.
In an emailed statement released Thursday afternoon, Manchin said Republican opposition to the Affordable Care Act should not be used to shut down the government.
"We need to work together as Americans to solve these problems so we can get our economy back on track and create American jobs," he said.
He said he still does not support the law's so-called "individual mandate" that will require all U.S. citizens have health insurance by Jan. 1, 2014 or face a fine.
"I have always opposed the individual mandate, and I continue to have concerns with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the cost and choices West Virginians will have in the health care exchanges," he said.
There are exemptions to the mandate.
Those who cannot afford coverage because the monthly premiums would exceed 8 percent of their annual income, and those who are experiencing hardships won't have to purchase coverage. Anyone who qualifies for Medicaid coverage under the new law but lives in state that refused to expand its Meidcaid program also is exempt.
Among the other exempt groups are Native Americans who are eligible for care under a separate program, illegal immigrants, prisoners and members of a health care sharing ministry. There is also a religious exemption.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates more than 20 million people will be exempt from the mandate by 2016.
Many see the individual mandate as the cornerstone of Obama's Affordable Care Act, which passed Congress in 2010. Without it, many health care experts fear the law's attempts to reduce the costs of care and insurance will be futile.
The mandate hinges on the idea that there are more healthy people in the world than sick people.
By requiring all of the healthy people to have health insurance, whether they need it right now or not, their premiums will help balance out all the unhealthy people who are racking up lots of hospital bills.
That, in theory, would keep health insurance premiums and healthcare costs low for everyone.
Many have claimed the mandate was unconstitutional, but the U.S. Supreme Court released an opinion last year upholding the provision.
Manchin's opposition to the individual mandate is not surprising.
While running for Senate in 2010, Manchin told the Wheeling Intelligencer newspaper he would support a repeal of the health care law "unless we can find common ground and common sense."
About two years ago he told ABC news he didn't like the individual mandate because it forced citizens to purchase health insurance.
"I've always had a concern and a problem with the mandate, that we were forcing it, basically saying by the law of the land you have to buy the product," he said at the time.
On Thursday morning, Manchin appeared ready to break ranks with his fellow Democrats and support a bill that would prevent a government shutdown while delaying the mandate.
"There's no way I could not vote for it," Manchin said, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. "It's very reasonable and sensible."
Manchin, speaking at a Bloomberg Government breakfast on Thursday, said President Barack Obama's administration already has given businesses until 2014 to provide health insurance for employees.
"Don't put the mandate on the American public right now," Manchin said, according to Bloomberg. "Give them at least a year. If you know you couldn't bring the corporate sector, you gave them a year, don't you think it'd be fair?"

Portuguese Brazilians (or Luso-brasileiros) are Brazilian citizens whose ancestry originates wholly or partly in Portugal. Most of the Portuguese who arrived throughout the centuries in Brazil sought economic opportunities. Although present since the onset of the colonization, Portuguese people began migrating to Brazil in larger numbers and without state support in the 18th century. An estimated 100 million Brazilians (50% of the country's population) have at least one Portuguese ancestor, the result of Brazil's colonization by Portugal and subsequent immigration.[4] The Portuguese also constitute the biggest group of foreigners living in the country, with 330,000 Portuguese nationals currently living in Brazil.[5] According to Portuguese law, any Brazilian that has at least one Portuguese parent or grandparent is eligible to obtain Portuguese citizenship. 5 million Brazilians fall under this category.[6]

Early Settlement and Colonization (1500-1700)[edit]
Some of the earliest colonists for whom we have written records are João Ramalho and Diogo Álvares Correia. At the time the Portuguese Crown was focused on securing its highly lucrative Portuguese Empire in Asia, and so did little to protect the newly discovered lands in the Americas from foreign interlopers. As a result, many pirates, mainly French, began dealing in pau brasil with the Amerindians. This situation worried Portugal, which in the 1530s started to encourage the colonization of Brazil, principally for defensive reasons. The towns of Cananéia (1531), São Vicente (1532), Porto Seguro (1534) and Iguape (1538) date from that period.
By the mid-16th century, Portuguese colonists were already settling in significant numbers, mainly along the coastal regions of Brazil. Numerous cities were established, including Salvador (1549), São Paulo (1554) and Rio de Janeiro (1565). While most Portuguese (and predominantly male) settlers came willingly, some were forced exiles or degredados. Such convicts were sentenced for a variety of crimes according to the Ordenações do Reino, which included common theft, attempted murder and adultery.[7]
During the 17th century, most Portuguese settlers in Brazil, who throughout the entire colonial period tended to originate from Northern Portugal,[8] moved to the northeastern part of the country to establish the first sugar plantations. Some of the new arrivals were New Christians, that is, descendants of Portuguese Jews who had been induced to convert to Catholicism and remained in Portugal, yet were often targeted by the Inquisition (established in 1536) under the accusation of being crypto-Jews.[9]
Azoreans in Maranhão, Pará and Amapá[edit]
There was concern in keeping the control of the territory, hence the policy in promoting the colonization with couples in the border lands. The occupation of the territory was seen as essential. In 1619, about 300 couples arrived in Maranhão, the total number of people being around 1000 individuals, a significant number for that time. Maranhão is the first region to receive Azorean settlers in an organised way. Beyond the initial settling in 1619, led by Estácio da Silveira in 1619, others followed: in 1621 arrived 40 couples with Antonio Ferreira de Bettencourt and Jorge de Lemos Bettencourt, in 1625 other couples came with Francisco Coelho de Carvalho; in the ships "N. S. da Palma" and "São Rafael", 50 couples arrived; in the ships "N. S. da Penha de França" and "São Francisco Xavier" more settlers came.[10] Throughout the 17th century, successive waves of Azorean couples were settled in Maranhão.
Azorean couples were also settled in Pará, an example of this being the 50 couples (or around 219 individuals) who embarked on the 29th March of 1677, in the ship "Jesus, Maria e "José", in Horta, Faial.[11] In 1676, 50 Azorean couples with 234 people of both sexes landed in Belém, coming from Feiteira, Faial[10]
In 1751 Macapá in Amapá received Azoreans and it was recommended to the captain of the ship to have a special care with the settlers, since "for the most part they were women, children and older people".[10]
Growing Portuguese migrants (1700-1822)[edit]
In the 18th century, immigration to Brazil from Portugal increased dramatically.[12] Many gold and diamond mines were discovered in the region of Minas Gerais, which then led to the arrival of not only Portuguese, but also of native-born Brazilians. Regarding the former, most were peasants from the Minho region in Portugal.[8] In the beginning, Portugal stimulated the immigration of minhotos to Brazil. After some time, however, the number of departures was so great that the Portuguese Crown had to establish barriers to further immigration. Most of these Portuguese involved in the goldrush ended up settling in Minas Gerais and in the Center-West region of Brazil, where they founded dozens of cities such as Ouro Preto, Congonhas, Mariana, São João del Rei, Tiradentes, Goiás, etc.
In the words of Simão Ferreira Machado, in Triunfo Eucarístico, published in Lisbon in 1734, "half of Portugal was transplanted" to Brazil at that time.[13]
Official estimates - and most estimates made so far - place the number of Portuguese migrants to Colonial Brazil during the gold rush of the 18th century at 600,000.[14] Though not usually studied, this represented one of the largest movements of European populations to their colonies to the Americas during the colonial times. According to historian Leslie Bethell, "In 1700 Portugal had a population of about two million people." During the 18th century hundreds of thousands left for the Portuguese Colony of Brazil, despite efforts by the crown to place severe restrictions on emigration.[15]
Between 1748 and 1756, 7,817 settlers from the Azores Islands arrived in Santa Catarina, located in the Southern Region of Brazil.[16] Several hundred couples of Azoreans also settled in Rio Grande do Sul.[17] The majority of those colonists, composed of small farmers and fishermen, settled along the litoral of those two states and founded the cities of Florianópolis and Porto Alegre. Unlike previous trends, in the south entire Portuguese families came to seek a better life for themselves, not just men. During this period, the number of Portuguese women in Brazil increased, which resulted in a larger white population. This was especially true in Southern Brazil.
A significant immigration of very rich Portuguese to Brazil occurred in 1808, when Queen Maria I of Portugal and her son and regent, the future João VI of Portugal, fleeing from Napoleon's invading armies, relocated to the Portuguese Colony of Brazil with 15,000 members of the royal family, nobles and government, and established themselves in Rio de Janeiro. After the Portuguese military had successfully repelled Napoleon's invasion, King João VI returned to Europe on 26 April 1821, leaving his elder son Prince Pedro de Alcântara as regent to rule Brazil.[18] The Portuguese government attempted to turn Brazil into a colony once again, thus depriving it of its achievements since 1808.[19] The Brazilians refused to yield and Prince Pedro stood by them declaring the country's independence from Portugal on 7 September 1822.[20] On 12 October 1822, Pedro was declared the first Emperor of Brazil and crowned Dom Pedro I on 1 December 1822.[21] Thousands of ordinary Portuguese settlers left for Brazil after independence.
Portuguese immigration to Brazil (1822-1960)[edit]
A few years after independence from Portugal in 1822, Portuguese people would start arriving in Brazil as immigrants, and the Portuguese population in Brazil actually increased. Most of them were peasants from the rural areas of Portugal. The majority settled in urban centers, mainly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, working mainly as small traders or shopkeepers.
They and their descendants were quick to organize themselves and establish mutual aid societies (such as the Casas de Portugal), hospitals (e.g. Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo, Beneficência Portuguesa de Porto Alegre, Hospital Português de Salvador, Real Hospital Português do Recife, etc.), libraries (e.g. Real Gabinete Português de Leitura in Rio de Janeiro and in Salvador), newspapers (e.g. Jornal Mundo Lusíada), magazines (e.g. Revista Atlântico) and even sports clubs with football teams, including two regular contenders of the Brazilian Série A: the Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro and the Associação Portuguesa de Desportos in São Paulo. Other clubs inlclude Associação Atlética Portuguesa in Rio de Janeiro, the Associação Atlética Portuguesa Santista in Santos, the Associação Portuguesa Londrinense in Londrina, and the Tuna Luso Brasileira in Belém.
Dwindling Portuguese immigration (1960-2009)[edit]
In the 1930s, the Brazilian President Getúlio Vargas established legislation that hindered the settlement of immigrants in Brazil. WWII reduced immigration from Europe to Brazil; after it, immigration grew again, but, with the completion of demographic transition in Europe, European emigration gradually dwindled. As this process in Portugal came later than elsewhere in Europe, Portuguese emigration diminished slowly; but it was also gradually redirected to North America and other European countries, particularly France.
However, between 1945 and 1963, during Salazar's dictatorship (Estado Novo), thousands of Portuguese citizens still emigrated to Brazil. Due to the independence of Portuguese overseas provinces after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, a new wave of Portuguese immigrants arrived in Brazil until the late 1970s as refugees[22][not in citation given]. This wave included Portuguese immigrants, including political refugees, who had previously been members of the Portuguese Estado Novo regime's elite, with a reputed background in politics, academics and business in the days of the old regime (António Champalimaud and Marcello Caetano are just a few of its most prominent examples).
Economic reasons, with others of social, religious and political nature, are the main cause for the large Portuguese diaspora in Brazil. The country received the majority of Portuguese immigrants in the world.[23]
After Portugal's recovery from the effects of Salazarist dictatorship of the Estado Novo, the Portuguese Colonial war, and the turmoil of the Carnation Revolution, in the 1980s and 1990s with the growth of the Portuguese economy and a deeper European integration, very few Portuguese immigrants went to Brazil.[24] From the 1980s to the 2000s, Portuguese emigrants mainly went to other states within the European Union, followed by Canada, the U.S.A., Venezuela and South Africa.
The Portuguese sovereign debt and Eurozone crisis (2009-present)[edit]
In the first six months of 2011, with the economic crisis in Portugal and several other European Union member states, including Spain, Italy, Ireland and Greece, a record number of 328,826 Portuguese citizens made their situation regular in Brazil. One of the reasons which explained this rise in Portuguese immigration to Brazil was the economic crisis in Portugal, where unemployment rate rose to over 12,5%. In that period, the Portuguese lead the numbers of foreigners making their situation regular in Brazil.[25] This wave differentiates from the two previous waves by the higher education level of the new Portuguese emigrants, what represents an effective brain drain since large numbers of highly qualified and experienced professionals and businessmen left their country.[26]

Characteristics of the immigrants[edit]
The typical Portuguese immigrant in Brazil was a single man. As an example, in the records of the community of Inhaúma, in the countryside of the state of Rio de Janeiro, from 1807 to 1841, the Portuguese-born population comprised approximately 15% of the population, of whom 90% were males. Inhaúma was not unique: this trend had lasted since the beginning of colonization. In 1872, the Consul general of Rio de Janeiro reported: (...)49,610 (Portuguese) arrivals in the past ten years by sailing ships, major, male, 35,740 and, female, 4,280; of these, 13,240 married and 22,500 unmarried; minor, 9,590, as a family, 920(...)
Although these data are not complete — they do not include those who arrived as passengers of small ships[citation needed] or illegally — we clearly see that females made up only 1/8 of total Portuguese immigration. In Bahia, as of 1872, the situation was even clearer: of a total of 1,498 Portuguese, only 64 were women (about 4.2%)[citation needed].
The disparity between the number of men and women among the Portuguese immigrants in Brazil really started to change in the early 20th century, when the largest numbers of Portuguese immigrated to Brazil.[27] In the records of the Port of Santos, between 1908 and 1936, Portuguese female immigrants accounted for 32.1% of the Portuguese who entered Brazil, compared to less than 10% before 1872. This figure was similar to the entries of women of other nationalities, such as Italians (35.3% of women), Spaniards (40.6%) and Japanese (43.8%) and higher than the figures found among "Turks" (actually Arabs, 26.7%) and Austrians (27.3%).[28] However, the majority still immigrated alone to Brazil (53%). Only the "Turks" (62.5%) arrived as unaccompanied immigrants in a higher percentage than the Portuguese. In comparison, only 5.1% of the Japanese immigrants arrived alone to Brazil. The Japanese kept a strong familiar connection when they immigrated to Brazil, with the largest numbers of family members, comprising 5.3 people, followed by Spaniards, with similar figures. The families of Italian origin included lower number of members, at 4.1. The Portuguese, among all immigrants, had the smallest number of people when they immigrated as families: 3.6. About 23% of the Portuguese who disembarked at the Port of Santos were under 12 years old. This figure shows that, for the first time in Brazil's history, large numbers of Portuguese families were settling in Brazil.[28]
The Portuguese also had one of the highest illiteracy rates among immigrants arriving in Brazil during the early 20th century: 57.5% of them were illiterate. Only the Spaniards had a higher percentage of illiteracy: 72%. (In comparison, only 13.2% of the German immigrants to Brazil were illiterate.)[28] The waves of Portuguese immigration to Brazil due to both the Carnation Revolution in 1974 and the European sovereign debt crisis, included large numbers of highly qualified and experienced professionals and businessmen.[26]

Records of the Portuguese immigrants to Brazil in the early 20th century reveal that they had the lowest levels of intermarriage with Brazilians among all European immigrants. Male Portuguese immigrants mainly married Portuguese female immigrants. Of the 22,030 Portuguese men and women who married in Rio de Janeiro from 1907 to 1916, 51% of men married Portuguese women. (Meanwhile 50% of the Italian men married Italian women and only 47% of Spanish men married women from their country.) Endogamy was even higher among the female Portuguese immigrants: 84% of Portuguese women in Rio married Portuguese men, compared to 64% of Italian and 52% of Spanish women who married men from their own countries. The high level of endogamy found among the more recent Portuguese immigrants in Brazil is surprising because of many reasons. In the early 20th century, most of the Portuguese immigrants in Rio were men (a ratio of 320 men to 100 women, compared to the proportion of 266 men to 100 women among all European immigrants). The Portuguese men had fewer female compatriots with whom they could marry than the other foreign men. Despite this, more Portuguese men married compatriots than the other immigrants. Despite the cultural and linguistic similarity between Brazilians and Portuguese, the high rates of endogamy of Portuguese immigrants may be attributed to the prejudice that Brazilians had toward Portuguese immigrants, who were usually very poor. Due to this poverty, many of the criminals in Rio de Janeiro were Portuguese immigrants: of the men convicted of crimes there during the four years from 1915 to 1918, 32% were Portuguese (although Portuguese immigrants made up only 15% of the male population of Rio de Janeiro in 1920): 47% of counterfeiters, 43% of arsonists and 23% of convicted murderers were Portuguese. Exactly half of the 220 individuals convicted of manslaughter were Portuguese and 54% of the 1,024 individuals who were serving sentences in prison for assault were also from Portugal. Over time, endogamy became less frequent among Portuguese immigrants, even though they remained as the European group that least married Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo records. Only the Japanese immigrants had higher levels of endogamy in Brazil.[30]

Team effort builds a better zipper
A final modification was in the zipper's sealant layer coextruded by Presto to be compatible with Kraft's existing film structure. This is a low-density polyethylene with a percentage of ethylene vinyl acetate. Its EVA content was raised slightly to improve adhesion to the pouch material.
Presto's system includes two unwinds one for the zipper and one for the tear string. A tension-controlled feed system within the unwind ensures that the zipper and tear string are fed consistently with the web's intermittent advance. In addition Presto's zipper roll holds as much as 14' of material minimizing changeovers.
A tear string sealer located within the vf/f/s machine heat seals the string to the film as the web unwinds. As the zipper enters the machine it runs through the punch that eliminates bulk from the zipper at the point where it will be cross-sealed. The zipper is then fed in along the side of the fill tube and meets up with the film below the forming collar in the area of the fin sealer. A zipper guide added to a conventional forming collar and fill tube assembly positions the interlocking Fresh-Trak® zipper as it is heat sealed to the film. Finally the cross seals are created product is dispensed through the fill tube and the reclosable package is complete.
The modified system has been in use now since February '94. The Continuous Improvement Teams involved in improving package seals were presented with Quality Achievement Awards at a recent Kraft Canada annual awards banquet.
"Presto was extremely helpful in assisting our quality efforts on this project" says packaging technician Dane St. Pierre.

NUANCE PDF Converter Professional 8 provides robust, simple-to-use PDF creation, editing, conversion, and collaboration features that deliver the value and performance you need.
Filter Results |
WARNINGPros: It's cheaper then Adobe Acrobat Cons: Two months after owning this software I formatted my PC. When I attempted to download and reinstall this software I found out that Nuance charges nearly 1/10 of this software cost for a "service" that allow customers to download their software up to 2 years after purchase. Customer service was not able to help me either. There are better alternatives than Nuance. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
~10 copies: no major issuesPros: * Software is the best I've come across for OCR detection on PDFs and scans. It can pick out most, if not all, the text from a medium-quality fax. Cons: * Activation mechanism is vague, but haven't run into the issues the other folks have. Other Thoughts: Definitely useful for handling small-to-medium volumes of PDF processing. Probably need a full-fledged document system to handle server and volume loads. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Used to be good, not any morePros: Fast and easy PDF file editing, creating and printing. Cons: Very buggy compared to older versions. Other Thoughts: I've used PDF Converter since version 4. It was a bit buggy back then, but they improved. That is they used to improve. Version 8 has more problems than I've seen in a while. I'm also dismayed at the price increase. It's almost double the cost it used to be. At least it's still cheaper than Acrobat. But, due to the bugs and issues, I'm not sure it's worth it any more. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
get something elsePros: Allowed me to make pdfs Cons: Another case of copy protection gone berserk. It required me to go through the entire "activation" process every time I opened up the program. Going to their "support" was of no use. I stopped using it, wasted my money. 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
7 & 8 are terriblePros: Not as expensive as Adobe Standard 9 & does eventually work Cons: I got version 7 to use on a Win 7 Pro i7 1.8ghz 8gb, & it was slow & often crashed. Upgraded to PDF Converter Professional 8 & it crashed less often & is a slight bit faster. Other Thoughts: Nuance should spend some money to have this app redone from the core up. It's positives include updating PDF with text in different fonts & sizes that adobe did not support- at least in my version & a couple of others I've seen. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
do no buyPros: ..i gave this software as a gift to a friend who moved overseas and they returned the software because it wouldn't install on their computer. talk about embarrassing! Cons: the problem is that i think the cd is blank!! i tried installing it on 2 of my computers and it won't read the cd! it's a defective cd!i can't return the software for an exchange because it's been more than 30 days! Other Thoughts: bad quality control! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Much ImprovedPros: This program is very easy to use and does everything it claims. It is also more refined and easier then Convertor Pro 7 was and way easier then the full version of Acrobat I have on my computer at work. Seems to accurately convert PDFs to MS Word and Excel. Cons: non yet 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Absolute junk - still!Pros: Basically functional as described Cons: Still has almost all the flaws of version 7 - even after years to fix them! Other Thoughts: I've suffered through Nuance's blundering for far too long - both with v7 and v8. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
ExcellentPros: I have in others computers Adobe Pro 9 and Nuance PDF Pro 8 do the same thing. I have no issues at all. Cons: None 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

This hearty, family-pleasing meal is a Tex-Mex lover's delight. Use 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) of whatever PC salsa you have on hand; you could also add 1 can of drained corn in with the beans.
Burrito Casserole
Bulgur and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
If you've never tried bulgur before, this vegetarian stuffed pepper is a perfect place to start. Whole wheat berries that have been steamed, dried and crushed, bulgur is high in fibre, B vitamins and iron.
Pain Perdu with Maple Blueberry Sauce
So-named because it can be made with stale bread that would otherwise be lost (perdu), this dish is a brunch classic. It's low fat as is, but you can dress it up by serving with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if you like.

Baking Equations: Physics-Themed Cupcakes
This is a small series of physics (NOT chemistry) themed cupcakes created by a young baker to celebrate their last day of high school physics class. Me? I skipped school and went to the bong store, then drank Mad Dog 20/20's in a public park with a couple of my bros from show choir. So yeah, physics themed cupcakes -- there's only one thing better: an entire physics themed CAKE cake. Get it? Because it's so much bigger. And bigger always = better when you're as fat as I am.
Hit the jump for a closeup of the black-hole one. "I'm going to eat you now, planets!" "Oh no, please don't eat us!" "TOO BAD, GOBBLE GOBBLE!"

My Maxim shoot wasn't anything other than a great time. It was too easy. I loved it. I mean, when you grow up dancing, you have to become very comfortable in your own skin.First Stretch
My Step Up 3D character is a little bit of a mystery. She's very tough, just like me. Dancing is her big passion, and without it she's a little lost. So, yeah, I pretty much played myself.
VIDEO: Behind the Scenes with Sharni VinsonFirst Bawdy Performance
I watched A Chorus Line over and over when I was growing up, to the point that I was able to recite the entire movie. I loved to perform the "tits and ass" number for my family. My cousin and I would stuff our bikini tops with tissues and oranges.First Near-Death Experience
Jet-skiing is my favorite water sport. But one time in Hawaii, I turned around and there was a 25-foot wave right behind me. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen. I was sure that was how I was going to go, but it was still pretty cool.First Awkward Dance
In middle school we'd have to learn these group dances. The thing that upset me was the guys at that age were scared to put their hands on the girls' shoulders or around their waists. They didn't want to touch us. I'd be like, "Dude, touch me. Hold me. It's OK."

MedicationTypical pain medications sold over-the-counter such as acetaminophen (Tylenol and others) and ibuprofen (Motrin and others) are not generally effective for controlling the pain of neuropathy. These drugs may be effective for lessening pain or joint damage and deformities associated with neuropathy, but they should be used with caution because there is some concern that these drugs may worsen nerve injury. Certain prescription medications have been shown to bring relief for those with neuropathy. In severe cases, a combination of medications may be necessary. Oral medications that have been successfully used to help the pain of neuropathy include:
Topical medications that may bring pain relief include capsaicin cream and lidocaine patches (Lidoderm, Lidopain). Alternative or complementary therapies like acupuncture, biofeedback, and physical therapy have been shown to be helpful in some cases. The antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA, taken in one oral 600 mg dose daily) has been shown to be effective in treatment of diabetic neuropathy in several short-term trials; evidence for its effectiveness over the long term is not yet available. For those whose pain is not controlled by medications, a procedure known as trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may be an option. Although data are limited on the effectiveness of this method, a 2010 guideline issued by the American Academy of Neurology stated that TENS is probably effective for reducing pain from diabetic neuropathy.
