Jenson Button wouldn't bother organising team-mate towing at Monza but admits it definitely gives the second driver a speed advantage.
Ferrari attempted towing at the start of Saturday's pole position shoot-out with Felipe Massa being given a hand by Fernando Alonso.
However, when the McLarens ventured out they did so separately without any intention of giving one or the other a boost.
"It is something that personally I feel it is difficult to plan," Button said.
"It is difficult to get it right. You concentrate too much on it and getting the braking point right. The way we did it was much better, just finding traffic on the circuit."
Button, though, did experience the advantage of the tow when he came up behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
"In Q3 I realised how much [difference] a tow makes. I was able to get a reasonable tow off Vettel, which surprisingly made a big difference."
That played a role in Button's front row grid slot with the McLaren driver posting a 1:24.133 to take second behind his team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
"For us both to be on the front row is fantastic for the team. The last three races we have shown strength, and qualifying both cars on front row is great, so thank you very much.
"It doesn't matter who is alongside you, [the first corner] is always an interesting corner, especially because it is such a long run down there. You cannot plan it."

Horacio: None of these rules were meant to be taken exactly literally, or even obeyed. They are not really rules at all in the most used sense of the word. They were meant to describe the path of the Satanist to others so it can be understood. Rule 11, as with the others, describe the mentality of the satanist. If you're in public, don't bother others, and don't tolerate others bothering you... It really sounds like common sense, but most of the worlds religions are about subjegating you, making you meek, and dumbing you down. Satanism is about empowering yourself instead of subjegating yourself, pursuing intelligence intead of dumbing you down, and radical individualism instead of herd mentality.
RobertoPiano: It is athiesm, it's just a religious athiesm, just like humanism has a secular and a religious wing.
Archaeopteryx: I think a difference can be made between use of an archetype, and actual belief in a literal diety. I think that would be the difference regarding your comment about acknolwedging a diety.
I think you mean well, Jay, but in my opinion, admittedly, as long as even an archetype remains, we are not free of religion.
I agree with archaeopteryx.

I did not even know such a thing existed Horacio, but on the basis that reading it would prove a challenge to my family's religious view I have to say I would read it in front of them,people need a shake now and then !

Parents can start to teach computer skills to their young children by supervising them in short sessions. Internet safety is a concern, but there are plenty of safe Web sites where families can find learning resources. Interactive, online play is a great way to build skills in both computer use and fundamental subjects. Using the mouse can help develop young children's hand-eye coordination. Many sites and educational programs can help kids with pre-reading skills such as letter and number recognition, while Web games can introduce memory skills and spatial concepts like "over" and "under."

Book Recommendation: Death by the Book

Book recommendation: The Light Between Oceans
Years ago, way back when I was in high school, my dad and I were talking about the definition of art. He said if he was still thinking about a story–or a movie or a painting–the next day, he figured it was art.
By my father's definition, the novel The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman is definitely "art" in my book because I'm still thinking about it nearly two weeks after I read it. I, beyond a doubt, binged on this one. I read it in less than a day and didn't even put it down while I was cooking dinner. I know I'll read it again sometime in the near future. It's that good.Read More

Then I read the next story she wrote. And a third. All along, I was sure she had a bright writing future. Her novel, As Waters Gone By, has just been published by Leap Books. I know it won't be her last. Tina is a smart, caring person, and I'm honored to know her. I recommend As Waters Gone By–a compelling coming-of-age story set on Orcas Island–along with Tina's blog.

Alyx Around The World is our name for a special Have Family Will Travel series by Oliver Martin, marine biologist at Tahiti's Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. With his one-year-old daughter Alyx and partner Laurence Georget, he is crisscrossing the globe checking out Four Seasons hotels and resorts. The aim: to find out how staff at each hotel teaches kids about the local natural environment. (When he's not traveling, you'll find Oliver working to restore coral reefs or swimming with whales in French Polynesia.)
Introducing the series
Traveling is fun. Traveling with a toddler in the best conditions is restful and exciting.
Laurence and I have decided to take Alyx—who turned one year old on Oct. 4, 2012—around the world, as often as we can, to interact with other cultures and discover new ecosystems. We'll try to do it under the best conditions possible: staying at Four Seasons is a good start….
During the next few years, we'll go to Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa, South and North America. Being a naturalist and marine biologist, I'll focus on how toddlers and kids can interact with their new natural environment: all those little things that make youngsters want to learn more about the places they visit.
In each destination, we'll find the great things to do for toddlers and kids. Activities at the Kids For All Seasons* (KFAS) club, of course, and things kids just like doing with their parents…. Since we live in Bora Bora—very, very close to Four Seasons—I'll start with this great resort! And I'll interview those trying to make a difference for the kids who visit.
Hitiatua, Franck and Yannick, native French Polynesians who work with kids at the Bora Bora resort, talked to me with passion about how they try to link the KFAS programming to their local ecosystem. (Meanwhile, Alice and Vairea, KFAS staff, were with Alyx painting mushroom coral.)
Q: What's your focus?
A: (Hitiatua) From Day 1, I use the whole resort as a big playground for the kids: ocean reef, lagoon side, the lagoon sanctuary and even games in the island endemic flora.
A: (Franck) What I enjoy most is letting them discover the lagoon, but in style: via stand-up paddleboard or outrigger canoe—or Jet Ski for the older ones.
Q: Alice, I see you've started coral and coconut painting…
A: (Alice) Yes. Kids find their own coral, shells or coconut on our daily walks and then they get to take them back and paint them using their own imagination. It's a fun way to learn about our local animal life and plants.
Q: Kids love to play with hermit crabs here, too, right?
A: (Vairea) Yes, and we race them. I often hear kids telling their parents the hermit crabs are harmless here… unless it's a huge coconut crab, of course!
Q: What about fishing?
A: (Franck) You know that fishing is in our blood. I love to explain to the kids about all the different fish we catch—and release.
Q: And those walks on the reef side?
A: (Alice) One of the best parts of my job is that watching all the creatures becomes a game. I have not spotted a whale yet, but we have them cruising by here from July to October.
Q: Collecting shells is a good way for them to identify new animals…
A: (Hitiatua) And we even teach the kids the local names for them. If we find a new kind of shell, the marine biologist's office has all the posters so we can identify them.
Q: If kids can swim, they get the whole marine sanctuary to explore, right?
A: (Yannick) Exactly. We make the best use of it. So many different types of marine life right here at the resort. If the kids are eager to learn more, we send them on a Marine Awakening tour with our marine biologist.
Q: What's your goal for kids participating in the KFAS club?
A: (Hitiatua) You know how much we Polynesians love our island. So I'd say our aim is for those kids to interact as much as possible with our very unique landscape and ecosystem. If they go back home with plenty of pictures in their heads, and have been able to experience a slice of our life, it makes us very proud.
(Thanks, Alice, Hitiatua, Franck, Vairea and… "Faaitoito!"—"Good luck" in Tahitian.)
In December, we will explore a whole new ecosystem. Alyx will first visit Istanbul, crossing the Bosphorus to have a peek at Asia. For this special event, she is inviting her two cousins along. The second stop is Paris. I bet the kids' programming and the Christmas festivities will capture her attention!
*Kids For All Seasons (KFAS) is a Four Seasons complimentary recreational and educational program for children of resort guests. Most KFAS clubs are designed for youth four to 12 years old, and open daily from 9 to 5. (Younger children can often join KFAS with a nanny or parent, or resorts can arrange for babysitting.) But details vary from property to property, so check the resort's website for more information.
Kids can go all day or just for an hour or two. Activities inside and out include games, sports, music, treasure hunts, swimming, arts and crafts, cultural education, environmental preservation work and yoga. Not your average camp, the VIP offerings are pretty extraordinary—for example, at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, following an educational talk by a diving instructor, kids get to make their own aquarium featuring the exotic creatures of the Red Sea, such as flying fish and parrot fish.

Oliver Martin is marine biologist at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. A French native, Oliver spent most of his youth in Africa and Asia, where he was inspired by his father's work in aquaculture. Now Oliver is the driving force behind marine conservation and education efforts at the resort, including using the resort's lagoon as a testing ground, exploring coral grafting techniques and studying fish behavior. Guest education and interaction are key in Oliver's efforts to preserve the delicate environment for generations to come. He lives in Bora Bora with his partner Laurence Georget, who also works at the resort, and daughter Alyx, who is nearly two. In his free time, he enjoys swimming, writing and long walks on the reefs.

Fabuleuse idée, c'est magnifique ! Alyx la vedette et ses proches sont de merveilleux acteurs, servis par un fabuleux décor.
We love the idea of Alyx checking out all the Four Seasons kids clubs what a lucky baby is she -so much luxury, so young
BRAVo for "Alyx Around The World, Episode 1
great and authentic intiative that I personally experienced "in situ" at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora with Alyx, my granddaughter, as she turned 6 months.
Bravo à Oliver et à Laurence pour ce lancement et … bon vent à "Alyx Around The World" de la part d'Omana.
Bravo Oliver!
c'est super en général…mais un peu moins de texte anglais, plus de français, et surtout plus de photos et clips-vidéos !!
A bientôt, peut-être…
Bises, Jacques

Starter species of exotic pets
Are you new to the hobby and unsure what exotic pet is best for beginners?
This page is designed to serve as a guide to help people such as yourself decide. All pets, regardless of how beginner friendly they are, need to be researched properly; failure to do so is just irresponsible. Use this page as a guide. The suitability of various pets to various people is highly variable depending on what the person can provide and what the person wants from a pet (something to look at, something to bond with, etc).
Beginners guide to thermostats
Metabolic Bone Disease - essential reading for ANYBODY in the hobby!
Beginner snake species
Corn Snake - Pantherophis guttatus guttatus (formally elaphe guttata guttata) - A comprehensive corn snake care sheet can be found here.
Royal Python - Python Regius (please note with this species, always get a captive bred specimen as they can be tricky feeders. Make sure you do enough research)
Beginner lizard species
Leopard Gecko - Eublepharis Macularis
Bearded Dragon - Pogona vitticeps
Beginner amphibian species
White's Tree Frog - Litoria caerulea
Fire Bellied Toad - Bombina orientalis
Beginner Tarantula species
Chilian Rose Tarantula - Grammostola rosea
Mexican Red Knee Tarantula - Brachypelma smithi (note this species is somewhat skittish and being a new world tarantula has the ability to flick hairs).
Beginner Scorpion species
Emperor Scorpion - Pandinus imperator
Heterometrus spp. (Please note, most scorpions don't have common names so will just be referred to as their scientific names, sometimes with a made up common name. As a general rule any species from the heterometrus family will make a good beginners scorpion, especially spinifer and laoticus).
Desert Hairy Scorpion - Hadrurus arizonenesis/spadix (note, although two seperate species hadrurus arizonenesis and hadrurus spadix are both referred to as Desery Hairy Scorpions and require identical care)
Starter stick insect species
Indian Stick Insect - Carausius morosus
Pink Winged Stick Insects - Sipyloidea sipylus
Note. With thorough research a lot of the commonly available stick insects can be kept with relative ease as long as the temperature, humidity and food is correct.
More to be added soon...

It is believed that even before humans invented fire they were consuming naturally fermented foods rich in active cultures. In the Caucasian Mountains, nomadic shepherds still drink a fermented drink believed to be the secret to their great health and longevity.
Based on the principle of fermentation DrKefir is a raw, vegan, non-dairy drink rich in active probiotic cultures plus a deliciously refreshing taste even children can love!
DrKefir never uses "commercial culture concentrates" or probiotic powders. We locally cultivate our own Cultures and fully ferment our products in Small Batches. Bottled by Hand in Santa Cruz, California.

Ultra entries go under the hammer
Runners will have a chance to bid for an ultra marathon entry when six entries go on auction from Thursday 8 March. Bidding opens at R900 each and interested participants can post their bid at dogreatthings.co.za/running/two-oceans-marathon.
The auction runs through until 13 March, with one entry awarded to the highest bidder of each day. Winners will be announced the day after each bid. Winning bids will also receive a PUMA product voucher worth R1 500 and their race entry includes an 'A' seeding. Please note that the standard t's and c's apply for the auction - this is a qualifier of 42.2 km need to be completed within the stipulated times.
The auctions were introduced a few years ago as part of a fundraising drive. Money raised through the auctions will go to the Two Oceans Marathon Initiative (TOMI) that will provide much needed funding for a select group of charities. These charities are SANParks and their Honorary Rangers, the Western Province Kids Athletics Programme and the I Am Water Trust.
According to race director Rowyn James: "We really wanted to spread the goodwill and feel that having a group of charities benefit from our event is definitely the way forward. Our priorities lie with ensuring that the education and sporting needs of children are met, that education facilities are provided and upgraded, and that that environmental issues involving South Africa's parks, flora and fauna are included, as well as our oceans."

Take Me Out to the Backyard Ball Game
Here's how to "cover the bases" for a celebration sure to make a home run with the dad who loves baseball.
Set the mood
Have everyone dress in the colors of dad's favorite team or wear team jerseys and ball caps. Put the game on TV. Or, play baseball stadium sound effects and music. An album titled "Stadium Organists: Baseballs Greatest Hits" is available on amazon.com for $13.99 for the album or just .89 cents a cut and is chock full of music and sound effects perfect for a baseball-themed party. You can even sample before you buy. You could also check your local library for ballpark theme music CD's.
The Menu
Dad's Root Beer or other favorite "Pop". Check here for stores carrying Dad's Root Beer.
Pre-game starters
Serve traditional ballpark favorites like "Pop" corn, peanuts in the shell, and boxes of Cracker Jacks.
"Top Dog" hot dog bar
For many dads, it's not a meal unless a significant part of it once wore hooves. So a hot dog bar with all the fixings makes perfect sense for a baseball theme Father's Day celebration! Grill up a bunch of hot dogs and warm some hot dog buns. Set these up at the beginning of a hot dog bar that includes toppings like:
- Jalapeno slices
- Relish
- Chili
- A variety of mustards
- Sauerkraut
- Shredded cheese
- Diced onion
- Guacamole
- Chopped bacon
- Ketchup
- Coleslaw
- Banana peppers
- Diced tomato
- Corn
Let everyone customize a dog (or three) just the way they like it. You could even award distinctions like "most creative dog," "most unusual dog," "most tricked-out dog," etc. We found this impressive set up of a hot dog bar on the blog "Life With Fingerprints."
Baseball park ice cream novelties and candies
Get a variety of candies like Sugar "Daddies," Baby Ruth bars and cotton candy or ice cream novelties such as "pop" ice, Nutty Buddy cones, or Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bars – whatever dad's favorites are.
Play ball!
Take a break from watching the game on TV to play ball – a game of wiffle ball – in the backyard. You can find wiffle balls and bats at most toy or department stores. Do you have little ones and a variety of skill levels in your family? With this great Hydro Catch set from COOP, all members of the family can enjoy a game of catch regardless of their age or skill level. Hook and loop fabric on the inside of the round mitts "snags" the ball at almost any angle and a strap on the outside to slip your hand under makes for a secure fit. All pieces even float if you want to take the game to the pool or surf-side! The set makes a great Father's Day gift, too! Find Hydro Catch sets in a variety of colors at many mass retail stores or online here.
Gift ideas
Gift ideas for the baseball-loving dad include tickets to a ball game, a jersey or ball cap with the logo of his favorite team, or a subscription to a sports magazine. However you choose to celebrate dad, just make sure he knows how much you appreciate all he does for the family all year – especially serving as #1 spider hit man!

New construction isn't the only type of project that must adhere to Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards. The same rules apply to any alteration to a public right of way, including streets, sidewalks, curbs, and anything that affects building entrances and exits.
This rule of thumb was made abundantly clear just two years after the act became law in 1991. But because the legal and engineering communities don't generally discuss disability-related issues related to the design of upgrades, owners are still racking up millions of dollars in post-completion reconstruction.
For instance, many managers consider resurfacing to be maintenance. Wrong. In 1993 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Kinney vs. Yerusalem found that resurfacing improves a road's usability. According to ADA guidelines, any improvement that enhances usability for the general public must also be accessible to members of the public with ambulatory challenges. Thus, curb ramps must meet the law's standards for new construction to the maximum extent feasible.
On the other hand, the court considered pothole-patching as spot maintenance, and therefore it isn't required to adhere to the law's guidelines.
The challenge lies in satisfying the law's requirement to provide "reasonable accommodation" for disabled pedestrians. Each project is unique, and some situations require drastic changes. By providing a reasonable accommodation plan to all stakeholders, you can ensure your solution will be acceptable before construction begins.
In 1993 the U.S. Appeals Court upheld a decision by the local Federal District Court in Philadelphia that public officials were obligated by the ADA to make curb ramps compliant during a resurfacing project of more than 2,400 miles of city streets. The decision triggered lawsuits across the country when advocacy groups found out. In all the cases, the public works officials had read the section in the ADA guidelines about putting new curb ramps in for new construction, but they did not think it applied to repaving. The courts set the standard for what is altered work. Now, 20 years later, the same missteps are still occurring because managers are unaware of the ruling.
Another such example occurred in Detroit last fall. The city's public works department hadn't installed curb ramps in a particular part of town and a local advocacy group requested wheelchair access.
As you know, each intersection comprises eight curb ramps. In this case, though, the slope leading to a bridge at the east side of the intersection was too steep to accommodate a compliant curb ramp. The road on the south side was also too steep as it sloped toward the intersection.
The advocacy group was invited to view a proposed alteration and deemed it sufficient to fulfill the law's reasonable-accommodation requirement. It may not be perfect, but it's the best that can be done and it provides access to all.
Situations such as those that occurred in Philadelphia and Detroit illustrate the training needed for public works managers. To make decisions about these guidelines, you need to be educated in what to do and how to think "outside the box" to handle each unique situation.

Gaining Control with Textile Printing
High-Quality Output and Consistent Color
By Cassandra Carnes
Textile printing presents both opportunities and challenges. It is possible through a variety of methods�dye-sublimation (dye-sub) direct, dye-sub transfer, and direct to print. Factors such as ink, mechanical systems, image fixation, and media transport each play a role in perfecting textile print applications. Media selection and proper profiling further optimize print quality when it comes to printing onto fabric.
Print service providers (PSPs) offering textile printing services manage output quality through color management and utilizing specific tools featured within various print engines.
Process Considerations
When printing onto textiles, the process used dictates compatible media and ink options. While printing onto textiles can be similar to printing with traditional substrates, nuances do need to be addressed in order to ensure high-quality output and maintain efficiency.
�Strictly from a printing perspective, the processes are very similar,� admits Mike Wozny, strategic product manager, EFI. The ink jets directly onto either fabric or paper. A key difference is when dye-sub is used. �In that scenario, an additional process�sublimation�is required. The sublimation process imbeds, or infuses, the dye into the fabric,� he adds.
While direct digital printing is an option for outputting onto fabrics, often dye-sub comes to mind when printing textiles. Dye-sub ink can be printed directly to the textile or transfer paper. Both direct and transfer dye-sub methods require a heating unit. Primarily, dye-sub is an aqueous process.
�Even though the technology has been around for a while, a beautiful digital image on a textile still stops people in their tracks,� says David Hawkes, group product manager, Roland DGA Corporation. Dye-sub produces very high print quality and marries it to the unique properties of the textile being printed on. �The good news is that people are willing to pay more for stunning effects. The bad news is that there is a little more work involved with dye-sub, especially transfer dye-sub. But the pain is worth the gain,� he adds.
With transfer dye-sub, a tighter image resolution is achieved. �There is a certain amount of dot gain when printing directly onto fabrics, regardless of the method. The transfer paper minimizes this. As a result, this process delivers high image resolution,� says Hawkes. Transfer dye-sub is ideal for textiles or any application where fine details are viewed up close.
In the case of direct dye-sub printing, the inks are printed to polyester-based fabrics for the best results. This direct printing does not resemble the intended appearance, as the final desired state is accomplished by the use of heat and pressure during the calendaring phase. �The calendaring phase, sometimes referred to as fusing, converts the deposited ink from solid form to a gas form. In its gaseous state, the dye is permanently bonded to the receptive polyester fabric it is in contact with. This conversion also transforms the relatively under saturated color of the inks into bright, saturated colors,� explains Kevin Currier, application solutions manager, Durst Image Technology US LLC.
Tom Walsh, product manager, :Jeti, Agfa Graphics, points out that while there are many similarities between printing on traditional solvent or UV-curable roll-to-roll media, there are some critical differences when directly digital printing onto textiles. For starters, the entire system has to be designed with water-based ink and the transport of textile media in mind.
Image fixation is also important. Disperse dye inks offer brilliant saturation when optimized and the fixation step is key. �All of the processes used in textile printing must be carefully managed for consistent results,� recommends Walsh.
Transport Systems
Many textile printers include features that offer better handling. Media transport presents one of the biggest differences between printing onto traditional media versus fabric. Systems should be designed for optimal tensioning, stretch/shrinkage reduction, and wrinkle free and accurate stepping transport.
Because fabric does not have the same dimensional stability as traditional media�such as paper or vinyl�advanced feeding systems are important. Keith Faulkner, president, Splash of Color, Inc., says a system of rollers and dancing rollers to which weights can be added is desirable to maintain constant tension during the printing and sublimation process.
�The feeding system is the most important aspect of textile printing,� states Jason Bartusick, president, Media One Digital Imaging Solutions, LLC. �If anything is off, the prints are trash,� he emphasizes.
Media One offers textile printers manufactured by d.gen, Inc.
Controlling Quality
Digitally printed textile applications are often viewed up close, therefore quality is important. This is true with clothing, exhibits, and soft signage point of purchase.
The amount of ink used affects image quality, dry time, durability, and cost. Controlling ink lay down is achieved mainly through media profiling. Proper ink limits are set within the color profile in order to produce sufficient color intensity while maintaining a crisp image.
�A profile is worth its weight as it simplifies your life by providing the printer settings required for a product,� explains Hawkes.
Ink lay down is just as important as any print application. �The difference about textile printing is if you lay down more than the textile can absorb and fixate, you�re going to get ink rub off,� warns Bartusick.
EFI�s Wozny adds, �the more ink that is laid down the higher the image quality�richer colors, better show through. The art in the process is putting a lot of ink down, but not too much where you lose detail throughout the image.�
In addition to profiles, media selection is essential for controlling quality. Faulker suggests selecting a fabric that accepts ink well and is not susceptible to wicking.
Textiles, like any other printing media, require specific printing parameters and the qualities of the different textile options vary according to their surface treatment, physical properties, and final application, point out Roman Barba, research and development engineer, latex printing technology, large format production, and Pere Canti, research and development lab tech lead, latex printing technology, large format production, Hewlett-Packard (HP).
Consistent Color
Managing color is a common concern. A combination of color management tools, experience, and proper profiling techniques help PSPs master color vibrancy and consistency.
When printing with dye-sub direct ink, the printed color swatches must be sublimated before the color patches are read, explains Faulkner. �Sometimes heavily textured fabrics present challenges in making accurate readings,� he adds.
Barba and Canti note that textiles include a broad family of substrates, such as knitted, woven, warp-knitted, non-wovens, canvas, cotton, and polyester, with very different characteristics among them. The most important feature in terms of color management, however, is whether the intended use is as a reflective or transmissive media. �This determines how the color resources are created,� they add.
The role of texture is also a consideration. A wide aperture spectrophotometer helps provide more consistent readings. �Care needs to be taken to optimize the transfer application before profiling to maximize gamut, output, and performance,� notes Randy Anderson, product marketing manager, Mutoh America, Inc.
Mutoh�s ValueJet 1628TD, 2628TD, and 1638W printers utilize dye-sub and textile inks with transfer dye-sub processes.
Tools for Textile Success
Digital textile printer manufacturers incorporate features into equipment and bundle complementary solutions to ensure optimal performance. In addition to hardware components, such as transport systems and heating units, RIPs are a key component in the printing workflow.
Agfa�s :Jeti 3324 Aquajet incorporates critical features, particularly in the ink type, mechanical system design, image fixation, and media transport for optimal textile printing compatibility. The water-based dispersed dye ink allows for rich saturated colors and bleed-through printing for flag material. A built-in curing oven is designed to vent vapor and eliminates the need for offline calendaring or curing.
Durst offers its Rhotex 320 direct dye-sub printer, which utilizes water-based disperse dye ink. All profiling processes for Durst Rho printers are accomplished by use of the built-in EasyMedia module of Caldera RIP software. The EasyMedia program enables straightforward generation of ICC profiles for UV-curable, flexible, and rigid materials. Built-in controls for light inks make fabric profiles effective and efficient.
EFI offers transfer and direct dye-sub capabilities with its VUTEk TX3250r and direct digital print with its VUTEk QS3250r, VUTEk GS3250r, and GS5000r. The company provides a range of color management features within the EFI Fiery XF RIP, which are not specific to transfer or direct dye-sub printing. Fiery XF is designed to help produce great color, including the optional Intelligent Clean Colors, which uses the printer�s color gamut to its fullest potential.
HP�s portfolio encompasses solvent, UV, and latex printing technology. In particular, HP Latex Printing Technology is designed with the capability to print directly onto fabrics without a liner. Color performance is ensured through the use of media profiles that contain color specific resources such as ICC profiles, in addition to other critical parameters that are specifically tuned to each media or fabric.
Mimaki Engineering Co., Ltd. recently introduced the Tx500-1800DS sublimation printer, which targets textile and soft signage markets. The Tx500-1800DS offers improved print speed on polyester fabrics and reduced running cost. One feature, a degassing module MDM-20 eliminates gasses or bubbles inside the ink.
Roland printers are developed as complete, integrated solutions, including printer, inks, RIP software, and profiled media. The 74-inch Roland Hi-Fi Express FP-740 is built for transfer sublimation featuring the company�s own sublimation inks and high-quality transfer paper, which are matched to the system. VersaWorks RIP software is included and provides spot color matching tools and media profiles to ensure color accuracy. Automated maintenance features simplify production.
Splash of Color�s HeatWave direct-to-fabric printers are equipped with an inline on-board sublimation unit. After the fabric is printed, it is wrapped around a heated calendar that is warmed from the inside. This design ensures consistent heat from edge to edge and results in accurate color. Fabrics must be sublimated at a consistent temperature to avoid shades of color that vary from one side to the other.
Valloy Incorporation, best known for its Topaz RIP software, is currently developing a series of textile printers with its Topazet TX line. This is in addition to the release of its Naturcoat pre-treatment product, which is designed to simplify the textile printing process by enabling the application of dye-sub ink onto range of fabrics, including cotton, silk, and polyester.
Success with Textiles
PSPs that invest in the time to understand the reaction of ink on selected media with the preferred method are met with stunning, vibrant graphics. Devices appropriate for digital textile printing are aided by the appropriate media handling and transport systems, RIPs, and other color management tools to ensure high-quality graphics.

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the Tucson Unified School District's effort to remove nearly 100 books from its campuses, and the dismantling of ethnic studies programs by state officials. (The overwhelming majority of those banned books were by writers of color, primarily targeting Chicano and Native-American authors.) I also shared with you the story

There's a battle heating up in the borderlands, and it's starting to get interesting. It all began a few weeks ago, when the Tucson Unified School District, in compliance with a new state law, voted to discontinue their Mexican-American Studies (MAS) program. The district faced an ultimatum: suspend the program, or sacrifice 10 percent of

The Belgian painter Rene Magritte once famously painted a pipe, below which was written, "Ceci ne pas une pipe"—"This is not a pipe." Of course, it was not a pipe; it was a painting of a pipe. When asked about it, Magritte replied that it wasn't a pipe, "just try to fill it with tobacco."

Powerade FLAVA23 hits shelves next month
Michael Jordan appeared on Gatorade bottles, but he never had his own flavor. The new darling of the sports marketing world, LeBron James, will have that privilege when 32-ounce bottles of Powerade's FLAVA23 hit stores next month.
"I love the way it turned out," James said, in a statement. "I think all my fans will enjoy it too."
The premise behind the athlete having input in a signature product was originally the concept of Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, who believed that the association between the two would help to create a stronger connection with the consumer. Hatfield, who oversaw the design of James' Air Zoom Generation shoes, started working with athletes in that fashion, beginning with Jordan, in 1987.
"When LeBron was working with Nike, he was giving them input as to what he wanted in his signature shoe," said James' agent, Eric Goodwin. "We went through the same process here."
James' association with Coca Cola's Powerade will test the ability of the company to sell sports drinks in the same manner Nike has sold shoes. While Jordan could be credited with helping Gatorade keep its position as the market leader as the sports drink category grew at a rapid pace over the past decade, Jordan's association didn't significantly help increase market share.
While Jordan didn't get involved in the sports drink making process, packaging for Gatorade's Citrus Cooler said it was his favorite.
"Because LeBron was integrally involved in the development of Powerade FLAVA23, it truly reflects his personality -- bold, cutting-edge, and unique," said Javier Benito, president of the retail division and chief marketing officer for Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola is counting on James to have a greater effect with Powerade, which has experienced considerable growth since it was brought to market in 1992. Powerade's share of the market is currently 14.9 percent compared with Gatorade's 81.2 percent, according to Beverage Digest, an industry trade publication. James' deal with the Powerade and Sprite brands is worth approximately $2 million a year, but there are incentives in his contract that will reward him if it is determined that his endorsement leads to greater sales.
"People aren't running around in a panic here," said Gatorade spokesman Andy Horrow. "Real athletes who need to hydrate don't buy a drink because an athlete is on the bottle, they buy a drink because of what's in the bottle."
James' endorsement of Powerade created a somewhat awkward situation on the Cavaliers' bench this past season. Although the team has a deal with Gatorade, James was hardly caught drinking from Gatorade-branded cups or towels with Gatorade logos on them. Instead, James often used blank towels and drank from water bottles with the label ripped off.
In James' Powerade commercial, where he was shown swishing full court shots, James didn't appear in Cavaliers garb since Gatorade is the official sports drink of the NBA. No marketing of James under the Powerade brand will be able to utilize NBA team marks, though Coca-Cola will be able to have James wear his official outfit in commercials with Sprite, which does have a deal with the league.
Tied to the Powerade drink will be a LeBron comic book published by DC Comics titled "King James." Powerade drinkers can obtain the comic book, which comes in 10 collectible covers, by sending in proofs of purchase or, at participating stores, getting the comic on site with the purchase of Powerade product. Both Powerade and Nike appear in the promotional cartoon, which could grow into something much bigger for LeBron, who, after seeing the first proof, requested that his character be portrayed with larger muscles.
Goodwin said he will be meeting with movie and television executives to talk with them about the idea of having a James animated cartoon series or film. In 1996, Jordan starred in "Space Jam" with Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig. The movie had a worldwide gross of $225 million. The James comic, Goodwin said, also could turn into a series of children's stories or coloring books.

"Of course, but I can also downill ski and figure skate..."
ADD: I also want to find out if I can add the "leaving home" functionality, which normally is not operational without a light sensor/auto headlights.

With the euro auto light switch you can code the coming home option and control the amount of time through the MFI afterwards.Leave the switch in auto mode flic the high beam switch and lock the car,the lights will stay on the amount you allowed through the MFI.
"Of course, but I can also downill ski and figure skate..."
Auto headlights mod is great. Nice find! Just ordered it for mine. Thanks for posting the video.
Question. Any chance you could write an idiots guide for wiring your auto dimming mirror. I purchased the same one but without the compass and plan to install it this weekend. Mounting it will not be a problem for me but I just don't understand precisely what I need to do to wire it in the fuse box.
Post 100 tells you how to route the wires from that location to the fuse box.
Once you have the three wires in that area, loosen one of the large frame bolts that are right there and slip the ring terminal of the ground wire underneath and re-tighten the bolt.
You'll also need 2 add-a-circuits from AutoZone or Pep Boys to connect the two power wires to the fuse box. Strip the ends off of those wires so that you have about a quarter inch of bare, uninsulated wire showing and connect them to the add-a-circuits by crimping them. There are two fuse slots on each of the add-a-circuits. Insert 5 amp mini fuses into the slots furthest away from the prongs (one for each add-a-circuit). These fuses are for the mirror. Now you're ready to plug the add-a-circuits into the appropriate slots in the fuse box. The black wire with the white stripe needs an ignition power source (ACC), which you can do by plugging it into fuse slots 5 or 6 (see the fuse diagram linked in Post 100 above). Slot 6 is the top right slot. Slot 5 is immediately to the left of it. The solid black wire needs a constant power source (12+), which you can get by plugging into fuse slot 12. Those slots already have fuses in them, so you'll need to pull out those fuses (use the little white tool attached to the back of the trim piece you removed to access the fuse panel) and put them into the remaining open slots on the add-a-circuits. Then plug the add-a-circuits, which each should now have two fuses in them (a 5 amp on top of a 10 amp), into the now empty fuse box slots (slot 5 or 6 for the black wire with white stripe and slot 12 for the solid black wire). Before you clean everything up, turn the car on and make sure it works properly. Once you've confirmed that it does, zip tie and secure all the wires and close everything up).
If you have any questions or need me to walk you through it feel free to PM me. If need be, I can give you my number so you can call me and I can help you out.

Besides the plug and play feature, are there any additional benefits to the kit. I know it can be a hassle to find a VAG and code it but can't you just program the coming home and leaving home features with a euroswitch?
I almost feel stupid for asking you this: what happens during the headlight activation sequence?
Btw, thanks for posting your DIY on the radar detector installation. I routed the wiring for my in-car mini DVR along the A-pillar and your DIY helped make it much easier. I was quite surprised that I can't find any fuse diagram in the owner's manual or on the fuse panel door. As far as I can remember this kind of information was readily available when I was working on my mk4 GTI.

Thanks guys, now I know what activation sequence means. However, if that's when the lights do the auto-align / calibrate, will losing this activation sequence cause any adverse effect?
Look, Ma! No blind spot!
I installed the OEM heated aspherical mirrors a few days ago and love 'em. It took a couple of days to get used to the different view, but I wouldn't go back to the standard US-spec mirrors for love or money. The range of view is much greater, and the blind spot is a thing of the past. Objects seem slightly smaller (farther away), especially at the edge of the mirror, but you quickly get used to that. I highly recommend these.
I chose the basic heated version of the Euro aspherical mirrors, which I ordered from BKS Tuning (also available at other vendors). There is also a much more expensive (3x more) "anti-dazzle" (dimming) version, but it's completely unnecessary, especially since I have tinted windows anyway.
The install was easy. Just pry/pop the stock mirrors out from the inboard edge, disconnect the two wires for the mirror heating (basic spade connection), reconnect those wires to the new mirror, and pop it back in. Literally took me 7 minutes total, including wiping down the new mirrors after the install.

Information to record includes the following:
- What time does the student eat lunch?
- Does he eat a school lunch or bring lunch from home?
- Is there a plan if the student refuses to eat his lunch?
- Who is responsible for making sure the student eats a snack?
- Does the school restrict where food can be eaten?
- Can snacks be eaten in the classroom?
- If the whole class has a snack, how will the student with diabetes be accommodated?
- Are there classroom parties or special projects that involve food?
- If so, what are the guidelines and accommodations for the student with diabetes?
How the parents are kept informed of future or past parties or events must also be part of the written plan.
Over the past 10 years, dietary recommendations for people with diabetes have undergone enormous changes. There are therefore many misconceptions about what people with diabetes can and cannot eat. Parents should get the support of the child's health-care team to let the school team know a kid with diabetes can eat anything that a kid without diabetes can eat. There are no "bad" foods that must be avoided completely; even moderate amounts of sugar can be safely consumed. Written instructions and good communication between parents and school are key to successfully fitting meals, snacks, special treats, and parties into the school routine of a student with diabetes.
Physical activity. Physical activity at school may include gym class, recess, and after-school sports. It is important to remember that while activity is a good thing for students with diabetes, planning is important. Depending on the intensity of the activity, as well as when and how long the student will be active, a change in insulin doses or an extra snack may be necessary to avoid low blood glucose.
The plan should address the following questions:
- Does the student add a snack or increase food at lunch prior to activity?
- Whose job is it to remember the extra food?
- Is the snack something that the student brings from home?
- Is there a set blood glucose level at which activity is restricted?
- What should be done if the child has very high or very low blood glucose levels before or after exercise?
Low blood glucose. A student may have obvious symptoms of low blood glucose, or his symptoms may be so subtle that they are easily overlooked. School staff must be aware of the student's symptoms of low blood glucose, since these symptoms differ from person to person. Additionally, it is important for the staff to know what blood glucose level is considered "low" for the student; although the American Diabetes Association recommends treating most adults for low blood glucose at 70 mg/dl, some children's diabetes teams may recommend treating at a slightly higher level to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood glucose).
The plan should address these concerns:
- At what blood glucose level should treatment be given?
- What should be used to treat low blood glucose and how much of it should be given?
- Who will treat low blood glucose?
- Where are the treatments kept?
- When should a teacher let the school nurse know that the student has or has had low blood glucose?
How near the nurse's office is to the classroom, as well as how safely the student can get to the office, should determine whether the student is sent there. A student with low blood glucose should not be expected or allowed to walk alone to the school nurse's or principal's office.
When blood glucose levels drop so low that a student has lost consciousness, can no longer swallow, or is having a seizure, glucagon must be injected (glucagon is a hormone that causes the liver to release stored glucose). In case such an injection should become necessary, the diabetes plan must contain all the relevant information, including who will inject the glucagon, at what dose, and at what injection site. Once the student has been given glucagon, his parents or 911 should be called.
