A Growing Presence
Textile Printing Targets Various Industries
Last issue
Like any technology, textile printing comes with its own challenges and rewards. If a print service provider (PSP) succeeds through both, they will contribute to a growing niche that is quickly becoming indispensable to various design markets�including home furnishings and fashion.
Finding the Right Fit
Media handling is sometimes an issue when printing on fabric. �One of the biggest challenges in textile printing is the ability to feed fabrics, maintain constant tension, and print without banding regardless of how stretchy and dimensionally unstable the fabric might be,� says Keith Faulkner, president, Splash of Color. The company incorporates a system of rubber-coated rollers and weighted dancing rollers on its HeatWave direct to fabric dye-sub printers to maintain constant tension. The system is also equipped with a cork-covered roller for printing on athletic mesh, spandex, and other stretch fabrics.
Marie Friemann, marketing, Mimaki USA, Inc. agrees that feeding material through the machine is tricky. �Paper-based materials make feeding easier, however some material�like sheer fabrics or stretchable fabrics�want to shift around during printing. This could cause head strikes or damage to the printhead,� she cautions.
Matching the right print technology with the correct material is a challenge. �PSPs must make a perfect match to achieve good resolution and a sharpness that allows for high dot gain, given the material structure,� states Grad Rosenbaum, VP, North American Signage Business, Hewlett-Packard (HP).
Faulkner also notes that during the sublimation process a consistent temperature is required across the entire bed of the printer. �This is critical because variations in temperature result in variations in color,� he says. Color management on textiles is complicated and requires monitoring many variables.
�Dye-sub transfer possesses the biggest challenge, since the speed and pressure of the transfer press are actual variables in color reproduction. It is very important to be consistent with these settings. This requires preparing color targets, transferring, and then measuring to create profiles�which is a substantial time investment,� explains Andrew Oransky, director of product management, Roland DGA Corporation.
Milene Ribas, marketing/education manager, conVerd, highlights the challenge of achieving proper color on final output. �Printing on fabric is much different then printing onto paper, film, or vinyl. It is a less stable substrate and possesses artifacts in the construction of the material that impact image quality. All of these issues were addressed by screenprinters and we use this knowledge to optimize our digital printing solutions today.�
Eco-Friendly Advantages
�Generally speaking, water-based dye-sub inks printed on 100 percent polyester offer a very eco-friendly solution,� adds Faulkner. �Printing on natural fabrics�such as cotton�with Sawgrass Technologies, Inc.�s M-Textile water-based pigment inks is a step in the right direction.�
�A primary driver of soft signage is the worldwide movement to sustainable products,� explains Mike McEvoy, director of commercialization, Sawgrass. �Many PSPs want to print signage with natural fabrics and water-based inks.�
HP sees an ever-increasing demand for printing solutions that reduce environmental impact. �Printing on textiles allows customers to use recyclable materials. Textile printing also delivers energy advantages during installation because of the lightness of the material,� adds Rosenbaum. The HP Designjet L65500, which uses latex ink, was designed with the environment in mind.
Gandinnovations� Aquajet textile printer features printheads that use minimal water-based ink when applied to the fabric, a built-in venting system, and a separate air cleaner unit.
The rise of fabric usage in large format applications can be attributed to the green movement. �It is a result of the industry�s desire to move away from PVC-based materials,� claims Oransky. �Fabric derives from natural and environmentally friendly materials including cotton and bamboo. Most synthetic fabrics are recyclable.�
Government regulations continue to push PSPs into using media free of PVC, phthalates, phosphates, formaldehyde, and glycol-ether.
Growing Niches
Currently, digital printing on fabric for fashion and interior design fabrics is more popular in Europe than in North America. Williams says this is because it is challenging to find new customers, who previously purchased from textile mills, to adapt to this type of technology.
�Bringing together digital print shops and customers is a critical component for success. It is something that the digital print community needs to work on. The need to come together is not limited just to print shops and buyers, but also to designers, photographers, and others who should be participating in the creation of digitally printed products,� she says.
�Garment manufacturers and other industries are immersing themselves in digital printing,� says DigiFab�s Izmirlian. �Reasons include short run production and the appearance of new, faster, and reliable textile printers.� The company�s StampaJet high-speed textile printer utilizes a self-cleaning adhesive belt transport system and two hot air infrared dyers. It prints with all acid, reactive, disperse, pigment, and sublimation inks via a large capacity bulk ink feed system, and is equipped with Evolution Textile RIP software.
Mimaki�s Friemann predicts that fine art, fashion, and design will soon embrace digital and dye-sub textile printing. �The art world is always looking for new concepts and ideas. It is easier to make a prototype or one-off garment using a digital machine. As custom interiors become more popular so will digital print in interior design,� she adds.
�With the latest ink technology, digitally printed or sublimated fabrics have passed many of the industry standard tests for durability, and should last as long as most traditionally printed fabrics,� says Roland�s Oransky.
Fisher Textiles Inc. offers a new apparel fabric line for sublimation printing, which consists of jersey and mesh fabrics that have a moisture management chemical for wicking. �These fabrics are ideal for athletic wear,� says Jeff Cheatham, director of sales, Fisher Textiles.
According to Cory Brock, director of marketing, Gandinnovations, the wearability and comfort of printed fabric is no different than wearing a polyester shirt. �Ink adds no discomfort to wearing the product and the durability is significant.�
A conVerd customer supplies organic, cotton-based apparel designed for children. �The colorants used in digital textile printing are very similar to those used in conventional printing methods such as screenprinting, except they are formulated for inkjet. The characteristics of the printed fabrics are very similar in wearability and durability,� Ribas reiterates.
Fabric Flag Store
The store uses FuZion fabrics and prints with a Velotex Xpress direct dye-sub system, both from US Sublimation. �Our main reasons for purchasing a textile printer were to lower cost to customer, speed up production time, and develop more control to lessen outsourcing,� states Christopher L. Baugh, president, American Flag Store.
The Velotex Xpress is for indoor and outdoor applications. The printing width is 64 inches and the maximum resolution is 1,440 dpi. It uses dye-sub disperse, acid, and reactive dye; and textile pigments.
Direct fabric printing is a growing opportunity for the company. �We believe the quality to be equal to paper machines. We base the quality on customer comments and so far they all are positive.� A recent set of fabric banners was used on a parade float for a seafood company. �The customer was extremely pleased. He called to tell us his float won first prize,� says Baugh.
Advanced Production
The production scale inkjet printing facility employs an array of proprietary, custom-made, water-based inkjet printing systems. Their systems include direct disperse printing for polyester fabrics; dye-sub for polyester fabrics; direct reactive printing for cotton, silk, and linen fabrics; as well as direct acid printing for nylon fabric.
The company works closely with domestic and international fabric mills to provide woven and knitted fabrics. Fabrics are pre-treated in-house to provide optimal print quality and color vibrancy. The shop is also able to apply post-treatments to provide effects such as fabric softening, UV protection, flame retardant protection, and soil/water repellency.
The shop�s ability to print various fabrics with a variety of treatments labels them as a unique supplier. �It provides us with the opportunity to service an abundance of industries with a practical and environmentally safe product,� states Nicholas Del Verme, owner, Advanced Digital Textiles.
For a recent NASCAR race project, Advanced Digital Textiles partnered with Luxury Tec to produce an innovative broadcast media stage using digitally printed fabric. Advanced Digital Textiles utilized water-based eco-friendly inks using both a direct disperse and a dye-sub printing process onto polyester-base fabrics. To enhance the performance of the graphics, they applied a post-treatment for UV protection and soil/water repellency.
A Multifaceted Process
Next month, the final segment of our series on digital textile printing focuses on fabrics. More specifically the article discusses the benefits of this type of media.

Windows 8 thoughts
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-29-2012 - 1:03pm
So WIndows 8 came out this weekend and I went out and bought the DVD. It was only $70, so not a bad deal for a full blown Windows OS.
I had Windows 7 at home already so I chose the upgrade path instead of a fresh install. Apparently if you have WIndows 7 you can choose the upgrade and it will copy all your previous programs and settings. If you have Vista or XP, it will supposedly upgrade you but will not save your programs or settings. Anyway it went off without a hitch for me. I had read that it may find incompatible programs when upgrading and warn you, and simply not bring those programs over, but in my case I guess everything copied. I have not tried all my programs yet but the ones I did seem to work.
There is the desktop version and the mobile version for lack of a better term. The desktop version works with the mouse and keyboard. It's a little weird at first to use. Your main Start page has all those tiles, like Windows Phone has. There are some different mouse tricks to bring up the settings, etc. You can also drop back into your traditional desktop look but without the Start button. That button is gone. You still have the desktop icons and the task bar. The main Start page, you can add tiles to it for any program that you want, so you have wasy access to it. I watched a youtube video about how to navigate and it helped me find the things you are used to getting through the start button. Your traditional desktop programs you can buy or download, and install just like before but there is a windows app store where you could download apps which will only work on Windows 8. I have not gone there yet.
I can definitely see that it is a good way of navigating things on a touch screen device like a Phone, tablet, or tough screen computer/laptop. On a mouse/keyboard only traditional desktop, i don't know that the new interface really gains you that much. It seems faster and it is supposedly even more stable than 7, so I guess those are nice pluses. It had a very much improved Task Manager which I find very helpful and detailed. It has the new Internet Explorer which seems very fast to me. I can report more as I play around with it more.

I just read some artilces that said that Windows 8 is not doing very well. MS thought that everyone would run right out and get it. But if it is a new wave they will have to wait till the old waves settle.
I am probably the only one in the world that hates messy screens (and house windows for that matter) so I won't be going touch for a very long time. I was not impressed after reading about using a mouse with 8 either.. My Vista desktop is running very well always has and it is going to be 4 years old in Dec. And my Windows 7 laptop is only a year old. I had XP for over 7 years and it is still running well for a grandson...so it may be a long time before I "upgrade" .
Running it on a pad probably is the only good thing for it right now. I have to laugh, who would have thought , you know how long it took but the old things that are working hang on till the older people either die or give up and change....like telephones etc.. I think untill older people give up and change it might take a while for Windows 8 to really take over...lol.....
|Wed, 10-31-2012 - 1:08am
I was disappointed when I heard it was $70 because I had heard it was going to be $40. I don't know if that never happened or I just missed it, but I'm not willing to shell out $70 for Windows 8 when I'm still just getting used to Windows 7. I don't have a touch screen on my home computer and my tablet is Android, so I don't see why I need Windows for that either. Also, I just don't think I could live without my precious START button!
|Wed, 11-07-2012 - 7:58am
I think you kind of have to wait till the little bit of dust settles over 8 because I have been hearing that you can get an upgrade for $14.99. Guess you should check around first. There are other things that will keep me from 8....I have a Vista desktop and I will fight hard to keep it running because I really don't like 7 that I have on my laptop......have to wait and see I guess....
|Thu, 11-08-2012 - 7:20pm
Well, I did find it last night for $39, and started to buy it, but then it gave me a message that 22 of my programs wouldn't work, and I'd lose my sticky notes and start button, so I stopped, and now I can't decide. I think the $14.99 upgrade was for people who bought computers with Windows 7 before Windows 8 became available. The $39 is for the download version. If you want it on DVD, it's $69.
|Thu, 11-08-2012 - 11:27pm
Windows 8 is a great OS even compared to Windows 7. The big improvement is touch screen functionality which supports Microsoft's Surface tablet PC. Primarily Windows 8 is for touch screen users i.e. tablets. Ed
|Fri, 11-09-2012 - 11:22am
I should have downloaded it and saved 30 bucks. Yeah thats a tough call if it is telling you that 22 of your programs are incompatible. I haven't found anything yet that is a really compelling reason to upgrade. Once you operate from the desktop mode, its about the same overall. It is weird with no start button but you can pin tiles to your Start Screen, the first main colorful screen you see, for any program that you want, so its still easy to access the programs you want. Also the desktop mode still has shortcuts like you are used to, so you can plop shortcuts there as well.
It would not suprise me for some third party programmers to produce a Start Button hack for Windows 8. On my Windows XP laptop, i have installed a Vista/7 style Start Button and task bar that I downloaded free to give you the look of Vista/7 and Start button functionality. I would expect the same type of thing to come out for 8.
One thing I have found hardware-wise, my USB network adapter works under Windows 8, but not completely. Its a dual band adapter for wireless N at 2.4 GHZ and 5GHZ. The 5GHZ band is not working since the upgrade. The adapter manufacturer does not have Windows 8 drivers and doubt they will as it is a discontinued product. So the lesson is, as in all operating system upgrades, that existing device drivers may not work under the new OS and manufacturers may not provide drivers for older products. So that could affect adapters, cameras, printers, etc.

Bonobo Conservation
Bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans collectively make up the group of primates known as great apes. Bonobos were the last of the great ape species to be discovered, which occurred around 1929. Although they are frequently called "pygmy chimpanzees," this name is not appropriate as they average 80% of the weight of chimpanzees with a more slender body and longer limbs. Their hairdo parts down the center of the head and they have reddish lips in a dark face.
Behaviorally, bonobos differ greatly from chimpanzees. Although they will kill and eat small animals, they do not wage war on neighboring groups or engage in infanticide like chimpanzees. Sexual behavior serves a much more significant role in social relations among bonobos than in any of the other great ape species. They solve conflict, ease social tension, and maintain social bonds through sexual behavior. Also different, adolescent females (around the age of ten years) leave their maternal group to find a new group, while males stay with their mothers. Male social status is tied to their mother's rank in this female dominated society.
Wild bonobo populations are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the bushmeat trade, and the pet trade. Decades of civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the only country that bonobos are native to, have made it impossible to study wild bonobos and find out exactly how many are left. The best estimates place the wild population somewhere between 5,000 and 50,000.
Bonobos are among the rarest and most critically endangered species housed at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. As of January 2007, there were 220 bonobos living in captivity, including 83 managed by the Bonobo Species Survival Plan (SSP) in North American zoos, 84 managed by the European Breeding Programme (EEP), and over 50 in "Lola ya Bonobo", a bonobo sanctuary in the DRC. The captive bonobo population is managed internationally and every few years bonobo experts from around the world meet to discuss bonobo transfers, breeding, husbandry, and conservation. International cooperation on the captive management of bonobos is important for maintaining genetic diversity, particularly due to the relatively small captive population. Due to the lack of information available on bonobos compared to other great ape species, bonobo facilities share their experiences with one another in order to continue to fine-tune captive husbandry practices.
There are only nine facilities housing bonobos in the North America. They include the Columbus Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Fort Worth Zoo, Memphis Zoo, Milwaukee County Zoo, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park, the Jacksonville Zoo, and the Great Ape Trust of Iowa in Des Moines. The ten bonobos housed at our zoo makes up one of the larger groups of bonobos in the SSP, containing approximately 12% of the entire North American bonobo population.
In addition to ex-situ conservation through captive breeding, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens supports in-situ (in country) bonobo conservation through financial contributions to the Lukuru Wildlife Research Project (LWRP). Dr. Jo Thompson is the project director for LWRP, which has been operating in DRC since 1992. The mission of LWRP is to conduct scientific research on, conservation of, and educational activities about fauna, primarily the bonobo (Pan paniscus), and flora within a specific region of the DRC. In addition to the bonobo, a number of other endangered or little-known wildlife of particular conservation concern are located within the LWRP area, including Thollon's Red Colobus, Black Mangabey, Congo Peacock, Congo Clawless Otter, and others. Jacksonville Zoo has supported the work of LWRP since 2007, when Dr. Thompson visited our zoo and served as a guest speaker for the APE-ril conservation event.
Our former Director of Animal Programs, Delfi Messinger, was an animal activist in Africa for 14 years. During a major uprising in Zaire (the former name for DRC), she remained at the compound where she had struggled for years to rescue orphaned bonobos. Five years later, she managed to get six bonobos to safety at a Dutch zoo, where several of them and their offspring reside to this day. She returned to the US in 1998 and wrote a book which covers bonobo natural history while offering an insight into the culture and the constraints of doing conservation in Africa.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- He's been praised for his work with some of East Tennessee's most troubled teenagers for almost a decade, but a Knox County teaching assistant is headed to federal court Thursday on charges of dealing crack cocaine.
As if those claims weren't alarming enough, some neighbors are equally angry over how the arrest went down.
The DEA isn't talking, and the neighbors aren't talking on camera until they see what works through the courts, but neighbors and Knox County Schools may have been blindsided.
For almost five years, 43-year-old Frederick Bennett has been moonlighting as a disciplinary counselor for Cooper House -- a state-contracted foster home for troubled boys in the Fourth and Gill neighborhood -- until last Friday when neighbors say the DEA showed up with guns drawn.
Apparently, agents took him into custody after he and some of the boys had gotten back from an errand.
The boys didn't see him put in handcuffs.
Bennett's record isn't spotless, but he passed the background checks required of Cooper House's parent company and Knox County Schools. The background check consisted namely of solid references and no felony convictions.
Bennett had begun his fourth year as a behavioral specialist at Ridgedale, a school for troubled teenagers. He started his eleventh year with Knox County Schools.
His is a career that has seen him go from an $11,000-a-year part-timer to a full-timer earning more than $27,000.
He has three straight years of stellar job reviews, and one former principal described this former semi-pro football player as gentle and kind, but forcefully gentle when the need arises, that his mere presence made the school building safer, that he often shows the patience of Job -- truly a gentle giant.
Fred Bennett is on paid leave from Knox County Schools until he resolves his criminal case.
His indictment claims his alleged drug dealing began two years ago and ended last April.
Schools spokesman Russ Oaks says Knox County schools had no clue the DEA suspected Bennett of anything until his arrest.
Fourth and Gill residents question not only why federal agents arrested Bennett in their neighborhood with children nearby, but they wonder why they didn't give his employers a heads up so that they could decide whether to keep him working with children.

Lewis Hamilton claimed a pole-to-flag victory in Malaysia, and made sure of the fastest lap as well, ahead of team mate Nico Rosberg – the winner of the season-opener in Australia two weeks ago. That put Mercedes on top of the constructors standings with 68 points, 25 clear of the McLaren team who use the same engine. While there were no doubts about the car's pace, there had been issues about reliability after Hamilton was forced to retire after three laps in Melbourne. In the event, both engines stood up to the demands of steamy Sepang where track temperatures hit 50° Celsius. "This is an incredible day for our team," Rosberg said after extending his lead in the drivers championship to 18 points with Hamilton his closest challenger. "For the first time in the modern Silver Arrows era, we have achieved a one-two finish which is an incredible result." Mercedes returned as a works team only in 2010, after leaving in 1955. Mercedes Executive Director Paddy Lowe said it had been particularly pleasing to achieve the one-two in Malaysia, home of oil and gas company Petronas. "We are especially proud to have delivered our first one-two finish at their home race," he said. "The entire team has spent several years working on this silver arrow and today we delivered the final piece of the jigsaw [puzzle]." Mercedes have been swiftest to adapt to the switch to the new V6 turbo engines and the raft of new changes brought into the sport for the new season and Hamilton paid service to the work of his engineers. "They have done a fantastic job and I have to say a huge thank you to everyone here and back at our factories who have been pushing non-stop to get the car where it is," he said. "Its great to see Mercedes leading the championship but we know we have to make these early races pay." The win was Hamilton's second for Mercedes following his switch from McLaren, where he won the world championship in 2008, and the 23rd of his career. Mercedes F1 Executive Director Toto Wolf said it was crucial that the team pushed on in order to aid Hamilton and Rosberg's bid for more results. with reigning champions Red Bull appearing to edge closer in Malaysia. "We cannot afford to be complacent," he said. "We still have room for improvement in our package and the race showed once again that the competition are right behind us. "We will savour the moment this evening but we all know that if you stand still in this business, you go backwards." (Reuters) Subbed by AJN.

Hertz Announces Expiration Of Tender Offer To Acquire Dollar Thrifty
PARK RIDGE, N.J., Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) announced today that its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: DTG) for $87.50 per share expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, as scheduled, and was not extended.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121005/NY87355LOGO )
The depositary for the tender offer has advised Hertz that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, approximately 27,956,234 shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the offer (which includes shares subject to guaranteed delivery procedures), representing approximately 99.6% of the total outstanding shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock.
As previously announced, Hertz has reached an agreement to sell its Advantage business to Adreca Holdings Corp. ("Adreca"), a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc. In its settlement agreement with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), Hertz has also agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a new car rental company is given the right to operate on-airport at 26 airports across the country. In about half of these locations Hertz has already reached an agreement with Adreca that it will try and get the Advantage brand the right to operate on-airport. Hertz has also agreed with the FTC that it will negotiate exclusively with Adreca for the next 30 days to try and reach an agreement on the remaining locations. Hertz is not selling any brands (other than Advantage), or the rights to operate any brands, so it will continue to have the right to operate the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands at all of the locations.

I have a 15 month old and am in need of some recommendations. He will sit still for only a little bit before getting bored. He has sorters, blocks, stacking toys, a couple of Melissa and Doug puzzles, match box cars, etc.
Any suggestions as to what keeps your little ones busy at this age?
I have a 16 month old girl. She is now very into books and she has a stuffed animal that was given to her by her aunt that she's now taken a lot of interest in. Mostly what she does is get books and climbs on us or gets her "Cowwie" and climbs on us lol. She's mostly interested in us. There's also the simple things, like getting an empty cup and taking the lid on and off for example.
For in the car, she has a Laugh and Learn laptop, Laugh and Learn CD player, and Laugh and Learn camera. Those all just stay in the car and she enjoys them.
ETA... things I have heard of on the board (but I have yet to do). Getting different colored boxes and putting objects of the same color in them to learn colors. Like get a red box and put a red firetruck, a red cup, a red cloth in there... things like that. Or get a box and pour some rice in there. Let them use shovels and buckets to dig in the rice.
At 16 months, DS is just having fun with playing with life- walking around, picking up what looks interesting, experimenting with it and moving on to the next shiny object. I am going to start buying toys that emphasize pretend play- a kitchen, blocks, a shopping cart, etc
At 19 months she is just now starting to get into toys more. Books, megblocks, stickers, a shapesorter, and the DK flashcards are all things that get played with daily. She still enjoys doing things more than toys though. Her Little Tikes slide and IKEA crawl tunnel have been lifesavers this summer. I can set up little obstacle courses for her to go through so she can burn off energy without going outside.
I probably need help with this too. At 17 months, DS is just starting to like books a little (mostly to just flip through - not to sit still long enough to listen to a book, heaven forbid).
He loves balls, opening & closing things (cabinets, drawers - and pulling things out of them), turning things on & off (light switches, flashlight, radio, an old tape player), climbing on & off the couch, chairs, etc.
He is totally not interested in any of the more mentally educational toys/activities (that would involve learning colors, words, body parts, animal sounds, etc.).... typical boy maybe?
Books and the water table are favorite activities lately. Fingerpainting with yogurt and vegetable based food coloring is also a favorite. Going through kitchen cabinets...the ones he can reach are full of Tupperware and light pots and bowls so he can stack and bang them around.
He loves the basketball hoop at a friends so we just got one that hopefully DH will put together this weekend.
I would definitely recommend the water table for summer...it's the one thing he will play with for at least twenty minutes on his own. Nothing else keeps his attention that long!
At this age kids only sit for a few minutes. He's not bored with his toys, he's just distracted by other thins. New toys probably aren't going to keep his attention for much longer. But some of my son's favorite toys are duplos, books, and coloring stuff. He also loves his water tale.
We are at 17 months right now. Most of London's favorites are wooden toys from melissa & dog, educco, plan toys, etc. He also LOVES books, any sort of musical instruments, is obsessed with cars & trucks, and likes any sort of stacking cups/buckets and scoops etc with sand, hammer ball drop, wooden tool kit, any type of push pull toy, and sit/ride on things! Also anything that involves buttons that play a noise or music that he can dance to.These are the ones he plays with the most for a couple months now...
Our LO loves his play kitchen that came with the accessories;
Also his big push buggy;
His pull toy gator:
Sorting cone:
Dwell & melissa doug wooden animal & shape puzzles;
Shape sorting clock (he loves this at daycare):

The term "Jehovah" was the invention of a Catholic monk (Raymundus Martini) in AD 1202, That name may not appear in Scripture, because there existed not until the 12th century, so the JW can not say that appears 7,000 times in Scripture, de hecho, In fact, this name is linked with that of demologia and Illuminati,

These are equal and parallel texts, chronicles and samuel, shows that the name Jehovah, with Hebrew letters, was none other than Satan, is interesting because there were the scribes caught her son called brood of vipers and children of his father the Devil, the Creator never called Jehovah, nor in any way.
The census if it was bad, and the order showed distrust of the Creator ((not that Jehovah) was not but trust census, the writer relates that Satan "incited David to number Israel, Satan stood against Israel and incited David to take a census in Israel.
1 Chronicles 21 David makes a census
21 Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David to take a census of Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the army:
-Take a census of all the people of Israel, from Beersheba in the south to Dan in the north, and bring me a report so that I know how many.
3 But Joab replied:
- May the Lord multiply the number of his people a hundred times! But why, my lord the king, do you do that? Are not all his servants? Why Israel will fall into sin?
1 Chronicles 21:7 But the Almighty was very upset by the census and punished Israel for having risen. 8 Then David said to the Lord: "I have sinned greatly to have done the census. Please forgive my guilt for committing this nonsense. "
If you dislike that would order a census?

The Tetragrammaton never referred to Theos, but Ba'al, as shown by archaeological finds, for example, in the following the tetragrammaton is on the bull man, called Lord of Samaria
Image text translation: "` Ajrud Kuntillet, Caravansarai Sinai, ca. First half of the 8th century BC drawing Yahweh of Samaria and his Asherah on a shard of pottery (Pithos A). Hebrew inscription reads:
"Thus says ... Say to Yehalle [lel], I` handle and ... I bless (attached-o: I have blessed) a / before Yahweh of Samaria and his Asherah. "
Cassiodorus Queen was aware of what he was doing on the cover letters used beans that would not be understood by the vast majority of Christians who could barely read Spanish, on the cover Cassiodorus wrote JEHOVAH OUR GODS
If you read carefully - Exodus 32:4-6 - find that the calf is called Jehovah:
Which took them from their hands, and formólo with engraving tool, and made it a molten calf. Then said Israel, These be thy gods, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. And early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to "
Certainly the Synagogue of Satan, composed of experts from the Kabbalah rabbis, inserted the word Jehovah was not initially where we can take to Luke 4:17, 18 as a witness
nd there was given him the book of the prophet Isaiah He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor
The Scribes Pharisees that passage changed to insert the abomination of desolation:
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; hame sent to preach good tidings unto the meek;

The Creator never said any name to Moses, that's a fable, never said any names
Actually, what Moses heard against the burning bush? Moses heard "Eheyeh-ASHER-Eheyeh" ("I AM WHO I AM"), which is more an explanation than a name
"Jehovah" is blasphemy
"Asher Eh'yé eh'yé" or, "Eheyeh-ASHER-Eheyeh" This is the Hebrew read from right to left: ??????? ?????? ???????
Currently a Sephardic Jew pronounces that sequence as "Ehyeh asher Ehyeh"

If Jehovah is the brainchild of a Catholic monk in 1200, how will be in Scripture 7.000 times, but there was that name before 1200?

Those who follow Jehovah are as fanatical as those who follow Allah. The only thing they lack is political power.
The Name of the CREATOR is YAHWEH!

Firstly the scriptures in Kg and Chr that you show, are actually two different theological inspired obersvations of some event in israels history. The truth is Jehovah never talked to anyone in Israel. When seomthing went wrong like a flood or famine, they figured they must have offended Jehovah. However in this case they thought up a slightly different story with Satan using his cunning abilities. THis is similar in spirit to the Satanic verses in the Koran where they claim somehow Satan tricked Mohammad into believing the three pagan daughters of the moon were actually daughters of Allah. Not that long later, Mohammad changed his mind about these goddesses and said that Satan tricked him. Sure.
If you understand how they got their inspired messages from Jehovah its easy to see how they might think they were deiceved by Satan. After all if you read chicken entrails or throw magic rocks anything can happen, and all similar forms are not a great way to make decisions. Before you jump on me, go read about the magic rocks on the high priests chest, urim and thuranim(sp). THis is how they communicated with Jehovah for hundreds of years. THrowing dumb rocks and then making stories up, all the while soliciting gold, money and obedience from the peoples.
There is no Satan or Jehovah, but there are many amazing forces of nature out there, that destroy, kll and also give such as when they bring rain when its been dry for a long time.

It says in Exodus 3 that Jehovah was called El Shaddai, or El of the mountain. Ancient gods love mountains, Zeus of Olympus, Baal, Jehovah, Mount Moriah and Molech. Ive only mentioned a few, but check any ancient religion and they always live somewhere high in the sky or ontop of small tall mountain.
The jewish priest class rationalised that past gods of their ancestors were the same god under a different name. THe important thing was the singularity of their priesthood and authority. God can have many names and forms, but they want all the business. This method of business survives to this day in the Roman Catholic Church. Notice is not Christian but universal thats what catholic means. Rome adopted gods from all their lands and proceeded to make them saints or pretended that they were other forms of xian characters. Eg Mary=Isis, Jesus=Sun=Mithra=Hercules

And there you have it, the God that is know to Jehovah's witnesses, is an invented GOD . So I ask. Who then have (as Jehovahs witnesses)we been praying to all this time. ???
Behind curtain No. 1
The inventor of that name, the one who wants what the true God has. Worship and prayers, power . Satan, AKA Olde Lucifer himself!!!

Sigh. All gods are invented. Regardless of when a new name was made up in any particular language, JWs worship the same fictional Canaanite deity as all Abrahamic religions.

'Satan' (capital S) didn't exist in Jewish folklore at the time. It just meant any opposer as a generic term. The invention of the 'Satan' character as an individual is much more recent. The Genesis story (along with some other OT references) were later retconned by Christians to identify the 'snake'/'opposer' as 'Satan'.

jeffro - your really not helping.
it's a different language we are speaking, that is all.
that is how we need to look at it.
this is really important toward getting jw's to wake up.
we have to use their format to show them there has been a big deception. they have been tricked.
yes to you its a story, to believer it is the same story, but it is told by two different peoplle in two different ways.
the evidence is the same, the practical, the theory is confused. we need to help people understand and teach them how to decipher the story
We need to stand back from the problem, evaluate it, and find a formula that will work to translate (for want of a better word) the information into a simplifed version thats easier to grasp.
Like working together to crack a code.
edit: trust. it all about trust.
who do people listen to, who do people belive, who do people take direction from. from someone or something they trust.
like children, they trust their parents, yes.
So if they trust their father, their god, they will be guided by and do what they are told, blindly following, because they trust.
the org is the mother, so they trust, same thing.
they will cling to mother and father because that is where they feel safe from the evil world of satan.

But they haven't been 'tricked' in the manner you say they have. In regard to the deity JWs worship, they have only been 'tricked' as much as any member of any Abrahamic religion. The claim that 'Jehovah = Satan' isn't any kind of explanation. It's just wrong.
There are plenty of ways of showing JWs objective things about their beliefs rather than quibbling about subjective semantics.
How about the anthropological evidence of continuous civilisations all over the planet long before the timespans posited by the 'Noah's Ark' or 'Adam and Eve' stories (both of which they take literally)?
How about the great amount of evidence showing that not even the Bible supports their beliefs about 607BCE?
What about the many (many) contradictions found in the Bible?

Detroit's good food cure
By John Kavanaugh
I am old enough to remember when our family had a "Victory Garden" during the Second World War. It was a patriotic thing to do. Ours was part of a large section of Victory Gardens on the southwest corner of Greenfield Road at Michigan Avenue in East Dearborn. The Dearborn Police station is on that property now.
During a Depression many years ago the city of Detroit had a mayor, Hazen Pingree, who told the citizens to plant potatoes in order to survive the Depression. Many residents did as he suggested and they survived the Depression.
That mayor was given the nickname of "Potato Patch Pingree." You can see his statue on the southeast corner of Adams and Woodward in Grand Circus Park
Our nation and the world are confronted with a different sort of crisis: Drought due to global warming.
I have three suggestions as to how to deal with the raising of the temperature — and the drought that accompanies it — in order to be able to survive next year:
1) Read the article "Detroit's Good Food Cure" by Larry Garbriel of Metro Times and start planning a food garden for next year. In it, Mr. Gabriel is performing a service to our city. I guess we might call him "Gardner Gabriel." The article can be found at www.truth-out.org/news/item/11485-detroits-good-food-cure
2) Contact Greening of Detroit for advice as to how to garden. Don't make the dumb mistake I did the first time I tried to put in a garden. I put the wrong fertilizer on the garden. I did not pay attention to the kind. Weed and Feed killed the entire garden!
3) Put in a rain water collection system: If drought is going to be the problem, the price of water will be going up. Let nature provide water for your garden.
This information needs to get to everybody in the city. Next spring will be too late to do it right. Gardening takes planning.

Healthy Pasta Dishes
So, youve tried the checking for doneness procedure by throwing a few strands of spaghetti at the wall to see if they stick. Thats cool, but what youve really observed is that when you eat too much of the pasta goodness, your thighs tend to stick to each other. Try any of these healthy dishes and give your thighs a break.
Named for the Italian Robin Hood, fra diavolo means "devil's brother" and refers to a spicy sauce. Our version of this bold sauce is virtually fat-free and will infuse both the pasta and the fish with high-caliber flavor.
Fusilli with Swiss Chard, Garbanzo Beans, and Bacon
Dark-green Swiss chard is loaded with vitamins K, A, and C, as well as minerals; toss it into an already good-for-you bean and whole-grain pasta dish, and you've got a nutrition powerhouse. The single slice of bacon lends rich flavor without adding much fat.
Gemelli with Asparagus and Pancetta
Healthy meals can be faster than fast food. Asparagus contains only 4 calories per stalk and is a good source of folic acid, fiber, and potassium. Pancetta adds flavor to this quick and easy dish.
Though rich and flavorful enough to celebrate a special occasion, our baked wedding pasta remains light on calories by employing low-fat milk and lean ground turkey.
This updated and healthier version of a classic Italian dish uses multigrain linguine and artichoke hearts, which are rich in potassium and vitamin C.
Pasta with Mahimahi, Tomatoes, and Basil
Similar to grouper, mahimahi boasts a firm texture and light, sweetly moist meat. Paired with multigrain pasta, this extra-lean fish dish is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of heart-healthy seafood.
Beans are a great low-fat source of protein. Add broccoli and you'll get a healthy dose of fiber, too. Plus, the broccoli and tomatoes are loaded with vitamins and cancer-fighting phytochemicals. The Romano provides full flavor (and calcium) without adding much fat.
Whole Wheat Penne with Broccoli and Sausage
Triple play: Swapping turkey for pork sausage cuts artery-clogging saturated fat by a third; whole grain helps lower cholesterol; and broccoli has heart-protective antioxidants.

We hope that you will join us for a tasting at the Distillery. We are at 12 Anderson Lane, at the corner of Anderson and Armadale, just .9 mile from Roche Harbor Resort. We offer tastes of our spirits every Saturday. If you are on the island when it isn't a tasting day, please call (360 378-2606) to see if we are there working. We would love to show you around if we can.
There are a number of ways to reach us. The ferry docks in Friday Harbor, just a short drive through San Juan Island. There is also a small airport and marina at Roche Harbor, and the Kenmore Air seaplane from Seattle is so fun! So come out, enjoy the weather (we have half the rainfall of Seattle), the shops and the docks but be sure to come by for a taste of our spirits.
Here's a map to show you where we are:

Time is moving much too rapidly for my liking. Normally I'm always counting down the days to the next break or big event, but lately I want things to slow down a bit. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, that 30th birthday is quickly approaching, or maybe I'm finally learning to appreciate each day as it comes.
This weekend was delightful. I was able to make several new recipes, actually clean my portion of the apartment versus a quick once over, and host a party for friends. I enjoyed the perfect fall weather, went for a walk, had my nails done, and even found time to have brunch with friends. There was even time for a bit of work and plenty of time to get ahead with blogging.
Why can't every weekend be so productive? Looking ahead I'm working the next five Saturdays in a row. Not half-days like I'm used, full days. Even though I'm doing everything I've always wanted plus a lot more I didn't know I wanted, I'm desperately overwhelmed. Perhaps that is why I would like time to slow down. I need to catch up, appreciate what I have, and become ready to move forward. Until that happens I need to somehow find a way to relax and maybe drink more wine. Definitely drink more wine.
I had originally made these treats for a meeting I was going to attend, but life got in the way, so Ruth took them to a gathering instead. Here is a pumpkin-spiced treat with zero pumpkin! True story. For all those pumpkin-haters out there here you go! The original recipe calls for pumpkin pudding, but I couldn't find that anywhere, so I improvised. These rice krispie treats are full of fall spice flavor! If you're sensitive to flavor, you might want to dial back the spice. Also, feel free to substitute pumpkin pie spice. All-in-all, these are a quick, no-bake, option to satisfy your fall sweet tooth. They are a tasty spin on rice krispie treats and are sweet enough to make anyone happy.
One Year Ago – Better Than Sex Cupcakes
Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats
Inspired by Shugary Sweets
Yield – 10-12 pieces
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot and then stir in the marshmallows. Stir in all the spices. Mix until all the marshmallows are melted.
- Stir in the rice krispie cereal and the candy corn until everything is covered with melted marshmallows.
- Press into the prepared the pan. Spray your hands with Baker's Joy and press the rice krispie treats flat.
- In a double boiler melt the chocolate and 1 tablespoon of butter. Spread over the rice krispie treats and then sprinkle with sprinkles.
- Let cool and harden completely. Cut and serve.

The Chairman of Durham Tees Valley Airport has praised what he described as the 'remarkable and encouraging support' received from the region's business community and other partners over recent months.
Robert Hough, speaking in advance of tonight's North East Chamber of Commerce Tees Valley Dinner—sponsored this year by the airport—stressed the firm commitment of majority shareholders Peel Investments (DTVA) and the local authority shareholders to secure the future of Durham Tees Valley as a key player in the area's economy.
Said Mr Hough "I hope that our sponsorship of this major business event in the Tees Valley underlines both our appreciation for the support we have received since becoming majority shareholders in February—and our determination to ensure that the airport has a bright future.
"There are certainly some good signs—over recent months our key services have performed well. Following the major marketing campaign launched with our long-standing airline partner KLM the service between Durham Tees Valley and Amsterdam Schiphol—which, of course, provides access to air routes worldwide—has shown encouraging increases in load factors…in other words the percentage of seats filled…and business has also been buoyant on the Eastern Airways service to Aberdeen.
"The summer programme between Durham Tees Valley and Jersey, operated by Channel Island Travel Services and flybe, has been well over 90 per cent sold, whilst Thomson has shown significantly increased business on its Palma service, coupled with a rise in bookings for next summer.
"Although general market conditions remain challenging, we are continuing to explore possible additional services and routes with airlines and operators, but it is important to emphasise that the future of Durham Tees Valley is dependent on us exploiting business opportunities for the airport site as a whole.
"A key element of our plans is the potential for the 'Southside project', a ten year scheme to develop 150 acres of land to the south side of the runway, and we are currently awaiting a decision on our bid for £5.9million from the Government's Regional Growth Fund for infrastructure works on the site.
"We are also pursuing a range of other development opportunities which could make a significant contribution to securing the airport's future and the message we want to underline by our sponsorship of tonight's event is that we are in it for the long term and we appreciate the support we are receiving."

IRS issues final rule implementing medical device excise tax
The Internal Revenue Service today released a final rule implementing a Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provision that imposes on certain medical devices made after 2012 an excise tax equal to 2.3% of their sales price. In comments submitted on the proposed rule, the AHA, Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management and others urged the IRS to explicitly prohibit device companies from passing the tax on to customers, and to clarify that hospitals and other health care providers who package and sterilize devices for use in surgery kits should not be treated as device manufacturers or importers under the rule. The final rule does not address AHA's recommendation that manufacturers certify that the tax has not been passed on to customers, but provides that current rules apply in determining the sales price of items. The final rule also states that a kit produced by a hospital or medical institution for its own use would not be a taxable medical device.

Good Afternoon,
I can't even begin to tell you how fustrated I have been. I finally got my period 21 days late (my body has been stressed due to knowing I will be starting IVF treatment). I went for blood and sono this morning expecting a call this afternoon from the nurse to tell me to start my meds. Well, I got my call (not from the nurse) and she told me that my estrogen level is too high to start the injections. My period started yesterday. I remember that I was told that the meds haveto be at the beginning of your period and no later than the 3rd day! So, this girl who called me from the doctors office told me that I have-to take a re-test on Friday to see if the levels went down. She said that the estrogen level may have something to do with the cyst that is on my ovary? I never heard of this.
Has anyone ever had an estrogen level problem and couldn't start their meds? I mean, isn't there meds to take to control estrogen level? I don't understand what's happening here. Is this common?
Any answers would be very helpful. Thank you for listening..

Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) announced that Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers (R-WA) and 27 other members of the U.S. House have sent a letter to Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu requesting that the DOE halt regulatory action that erroneously classifies decorative vented gas fireplaces and gas log sets as "direct heating equipment."
Under the current proposed rule, the decorative gas heath products would have to meet the same energy efficient standards and regulations as heater-rated gas fireplaces.
The bipartisan group of House members have asked for suspension of the regulatory proceedings until Congress can enact legislation to clarify the differences between decorative gas hearth products and heater-rated gas hearth products.

Well you have a choice here. You can comb it all out and start over or you could let your dreads naturalize by leaving them alone and letting them do their own thing from now on. To comb them out slather on undiluted conditioner, let it soak. Start at the tip and slowly, gently comb the knots out. Work your way up. It is a long tedious process. But if you are wanting neglect that is the way to do it.
Now your next option is to keep your dreads. Throw the crochet needle away, or learn how to make scarves :) I know several people who have used crochet as a starting method and then never crocheted again. Their dreads are lovely. Crochet is bad for your hair but the damage has already been done. It takes a while for the frizz to calm down, but it will.
You are on a dread journey no matter what starting method you choose. Your dreads are only 3 months old. Since you removed the extensions the weight is gone. If left alone now, they will start loosening up, you will see more lumps and loops in the coming months. There may not be as many because the crocheted parts are probably a little tight. You could use a small amount of olive oil or grape seed oil to condition and loosen the tightly crocheted areas.( I wouldn't use much. and make sure you wash it out well.)
Over time they will naturalize and loose the crocheted look. Dreads go through a very messy stage. It is normal for them to look wild and untamed. So whatever you decide....i wish you many happy years on your journey :)
Well i like the messy 3rd pic of you and i think you look cute like that.
So i would stick to it and do nothing beside washing and separating.
taye said it all and you do look cute in the 3rd pic
also you will have a fuzzy frizzy period to get through wether u continue or start over
I just recently un-tnr'd mine and am starting over from scratch, really happy with that decision, I know exactly how you feel about the desire to let them create themselves. Whatever you decide good luck!
seems a hell of alot end up starting over naturally
Yeah, I want to look at changes as progress, not the other way around. Natural is the only way to do this I feel.
Thank you for all the helpful replies. I wish I would have found this site sooner! I think I'm going to take them out and start over with neglect method :) Live and learn :)
try to save as much hair as u can

Have you seen the video of the woman who fell in the mall fountain while walking and texting?
|Thu, 01-20-2011 - 3:55pm
LOL Amelia, my dh says they would NOT want him on the jury should it go to trial!!!
|Thu, 01-20-2011 - 9:11pm
I saw that on the news, the other day. Amazing that people can be so distracted! Sue the mall for what? It was her own stupidity. Good grief, and people think they can text and make calls while driving. Has the world gone crazy?
|Fri, 01-21-2011 - 10:19am
Glad you posted the info. to view otherwise I would have a different take on the incident. I see why now she's upset as well as has owned up to taking the responsibility to her actions. No one likes to fall and then to have it blasted across the net.
|Fri, 01-21-2011 - 6:54pm
How many times has she been in mall .... does she not know that the fountain is there???? How stupid can you be?
|Fri, 01-21-2011 - 7:13pm
I agree Jan. Her own fault look where you are walking. Texting and walking is not a good idea. Driving and texting is insane!!

CBO: Budget Deficit Estimated At $845B
By ANDREW TAYLOR, STEPHEN OHLEMACHER and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ The federal budget deficit will drop below $1 trillion for the first time in President Barack Obama's tenure in office, a new report said Tuesday.
The Congressional Budget Office analysis said the government will run a $845 billion deficit this year, a modest improvement compared to last year's $1.1 trillion shortfall but still enough red ink to require the government to borrow 24 cents of every dollar it spends.
The agency projected that the economy will grow just 1.4 percent this year if $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts take effect as scheduled March 1. Unemployment would average 8 percent. Obama wants to ease the cuts by replacing them with new tax revenue and alternative cuts, but a clash is looming with Republicans who insist that last month's tax increase on wealthier earners will be the last tax hike they permit.The report predicted the deficit would dip to $430 billion by 2015, the lowest since the government posted a $459 billion deficit is former President George W. Bush's last year in office. That would be a relatively low 2.4 percent when measured against the size of the economy. But as more and more baby boomers retire and claim Medicare and Social Security and as Obama's health care law takes effect, deficits would move higher and again reach near $1 trillion in the latter portion of the 10-year window â¿¿ despite the recently enacted tax increase on family income exceeding $450,000 and automatic spending cuts of about $100 billion a year. The package of spending cuts and tax increases are punishment for Washington's failure to strike a long-term budget pact. "We need to continue working to cut spending responsibly, protect and strengthen programs like Medicare, and raise revenue by closing tax loopholes that the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations take advantage of," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash.

OTTAWA, Kan. (AP) _ Pretrial hearings in the case of a man accused of killing four people on an Ottawa farm are expected to stretch into 2014.
A Franklin County judge on Monday set a schedule of pretrial hearings for 27-year-old Kyle Flack of Ottawa that will take more than seven months.
Flack is charged with capital murder and several other charges in the deaths of two men, a woman and her 18-month-old daughter in May.
During a hearing Monday, Franklin County District Judge Thomas H. Sachse said some documents filed in the case could be open to the public.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports the judge also said he will rule later this week on whether prosecutors can order DNA testing that might destroy several potential pieces of evidence in the case.
