Laser wire marking provides a high quality, high contrast, permanent, non-contact method for marking coated wire and multi-core cable with alphanumeric characters, graphics or barcode information for identification. Laser marking systems are a reliable, clean, high speed, low maintenance alternative to non-permanent and high-maintenance marking methods such as direct ink or hot stamping. Unlike hot stamping, laser marking does not cause damage or change to the electrical or mechanical properties of the wire and will not wear off due to solvents or friction. It maintains complete insulation integrity and is accepted as a manufacturing process within the international aerospace industry.
Ultra violet (UV) Laser marking is accomplished by the absorption of the laser radiation on the surface of the wire insulation that creates a reaction with the UV-sensitive pigments known as titanium dioxide or TiO2. This reaction causes the TiO2 particles that are contained within the wire insulation to change colors by rearranging their crystalline structure on a microscopic scale. Thus, it leaves a high contrast blackish color on white insulation. The mark is embedded about 20 microns (0.0008 inch) into the wire creating a durable marking with resistance against abrasion and fluids.
Our laser wire system is designed for ease of use, increased productivity and reduced labor costs. The high speed On-The-Fly (OTF) marking has a throughput in excess of 80 inches/second and will effectively mark on white or colored insulation including PTFE (Teflon®), ETFE (Tefzel®), XLETFE and FEP. These fluoropolymer materials can generally be marked on in all forms such as dispersion topcoats, extruded polymers and thin tapes. In addition, single core wires, twisted pair wires, multicore cables and round cables can be accommodated.
Our wire marking system can print graphics and images, and text can be laser marked in various fonts and sizes, either vertically or horizontally, with no masking required. The text can originate from the laser wire job/assembly file, or can optionally originate from an MES system over a high-speed network connection.
Other features include infinite text lengths, infinite variable end mark distances, and infinite variable continuous mark distances. Identical text marking on each wire or optional programmable text for each end of the wire can also easily be accomplished. With the serialization option set, the date code and time stamp can automatically be marked on each wire for tracking purposes.
UV laser marking is the specified method of marking wire and cable used in civil and military programs of aircraft manufacturers and their subcontractors, maintenance organizations and wire manufacturers worldwide.

Where am I?
Undergraduate Student Speech
May 2012 Undergraduate Student Speaker, Monica Kleekamp
Good morning and welcome, President Golden, the Trustees and Regents, faculty and staff, our guest speaker, Dr. Patricia Wolff, my fellow graduates and all of the guests here to celebrate with us. I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to speak to you today.
When I called my dad to tell him that I was a nominee to speak at commencement, his reply to me was, "Well, does speaking at graduation make you feel like Elle Woods from Legally Blonde?" Dads are funny like that. My response was a chuckle, but little did he know he already had my wheels turning. So, in his honor today, I have printed my speech on pink paper. I refrained from spraying it with perfume or covering it in glitter, but just the same, this is for you Mom and Dad.
We are here today, not to celebrate the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new one. Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, traditional or nontraditional, female or male, we have gathered in this space to commend one another for this tremendous accomplishment. Some here today may have future educational endeavors ahead. Others are ready to step out into the working world with a shiny new degree. And there are a number present who have enhanced their professional positions by completing their degrees. Where ever you fit in the endless possibilities that are present in this room, I'd like to remind you of something. Adlin Sinclair said, "You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon." Today, everyone will leave here with a diploma and a wealth of knowledge. Tomorrow, and every day after, you decide what to do with it. Our professors have equipped us with the skills we need to make a difference in our respective fields. Now, it is our turn to put that wisdom into practice.
When I began here at Fontbonne, one of the first speeches I heard as a member of the student body came from a towering figure with a knack for radiating wisdom. This former NFL football star and marine started me on the right foot with his profound words. I will not try to tackle his subtle New York dialect, but as many of you have heard before, he said that Fontbonne University's goal is for students to learn more and to be more. It does not say "Learn more. Do more." Or "Learn more. Earn more." Fontbonne has challenged us to simply be more.
For the guests here today, who may not know to whom I am referring, I am speaking of our President, Dr. Dennis Golden. Throughout my time here at Fontbonne, I have watched Dr. Golden with admiration and awe. I have always wanted to be a leader, and I have always wondered what success looks like. If I had to show you a picture of it, it would be the face of Dr. Golden. I'd like to share a quote with you so you know what I mean when I say the word "success." Herman Cain said, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." If you watch Dr. Golden in action, you will see how much he enjoys his work. He has achieved success from the simple joy he has in serving others. If you ask him what his job is at Fontbonne, he will tell you, "I work for everyone else." My response to a question like that would probably be a little different. I would favor answers such as, "I run this place," or, "People sit up straight when I walk in." This is not so for Dr. Golden. He operates as the President of this great university with humility and selflessness and that kind of persona is what I aspire to embody in my own career. Somewhere in each of our college careers, we chose a major. Maybe it was at the beginning, or in the middle, or maybe you had a number of different majors. But today you graduate with a degree in what has the ability to make you happy and successful.
Finally, when I began studying at Fontbonne, I dreamed of this day. Of the day that each of our names would be called, and we would receive the piece of paper that says, "You did it!" Today is the culmination of all those nights of studying, hours of work, and endless papers. Still, the dream continues. Don't stop now.
I would like to share with you a few lines from one of my favorite songs, Dream Big by Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand to encourage you to keep on dreaming.
you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself
help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on
When the troubles come your way
And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
'Cause when you dream it might come true
So when you dream, dream big
Congratulations Fontbonne University Class of 2012!
Thank you.

If you were worried about the safety of your local Starbucks over the weekend, worry no more! Mike Doughty (formerly of the band Soul Coughing) was in town last Friday for an acoustic show at the Triple Door. Rabid caffeine addicts may know him best for his song, "Busting up a Starbuxxx" (we assume the triple x spelling is due to legal reasons and not the orgasmic power of coffee). Read more »

I stand on my feet a lot. Mostly in hard-heeled cowboy boots or black combat boots. And on solid concrete, too. Eight hours a day, five days a week, and I'm supposed to remain smiling. Ouch.
You can imagine that I was delighted to hear from one of my customers that a foot massage parlor opened up the street from Momo -- just $29 for hour long relief. Yes, a stroll away and I could find myself in heaven, some strong-handed person rubbing away my foot woes. One day I'll treat myself, I promised. Read more »

|Victoria Park Scenes
|----- Welcome -----
|In late December of 1999 we had a visit from Eileen Stan of the Victoria Crossing Business Revitalization Zone. She brought us a walking tour brochure, and a CD of their Photographic Archive, which we highlighted in our Community section while the BRZ developed its own site. In 2004 we removed the images, and you can check out the Victoria Crossing BRZ web site directly.
We have several images of the area in our newer galleries, most notably the Calgary Tower views, Calgary Stampede galleries and Calgary at night. Click on any of these images to see its gallery.
|Located southeast of downtown Calgary, Victoria Park lies between 10th and 18th Avenues, bounded by the Elbow River and 2nd St SW. This is the view towards the southeast.
|This old community is already a blend of residences and commercial activities. There are several growth points, including expansion of Stampede Park, the conversion of warehouses to up-scale condominiums and offices along 10th and 11th Streets, and new commercial buildings along Macleod Trail. This is the view to the south.
|Light Rail Transit, (LRT), trains stop in the community on the way to and from south Calgary on the Brentwood - Anderson line. There are bridges across the Elbow to the south and east. Bridges under the CPR rail tracks connect to downtown on the north side, and Ramsay to the east, with links to 9th Avenue. This is the view to the southwest.

Comparison of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification for orf virus with quantitative real-time PCR
1 State Key Laboratory of Veterinary Etiological Biology, Lanzhou 730046, China
2 National Foot and Mouth Disease Reference Laboratory, Lanzhou 730046, China
3 Key Laboratory of Animal Virology of Ministry of Agriculture, Lanzhou 730046, China
4 Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agriculture Science, Lanzhou 730046, China
Virology Journal 2013, 10:138 doi:10.1186/1743-422X-10-138Published: 1 May 2013
Orf virus (ORFV) causes orf (also known as contagious ecthyma or contagious papular dermatitis), a severe infectious skin disease in goats, sheep and other ruminants. Therefore, a rapid, highly specific and accurate method for the diagnosis of ORFV infections is essential to ensure that the appropriate treatments are administered and to reduce economic losses.
A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay based on the identification of the F1L gene was developed for the specific detection of ORFV infections. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay were evaluated, and the effectiveness of this method was compared with that of real-time PCR.
The sensitivity of this assay was determined to be 10 copies of a standard plasmid. Furthermore, no cross-reactivity was found with either capripox virus or FMDV. The LAMP and real-time PCR assays were both able to detect intracutaneous- and cohabitation-infection samples, with a concordance of 97.83%. LAMP demonstrated a sensitivity of 89.13%.
The LAMP assay is a highly efficient and practical method for detecting ORFV infection. This LAMP method shows great potential for monitoring the prevalence of orf, and it could prove to be a powerful supplemental tool for current diagnostic methods.

Well if you are going mobo to amp (even if it is through your original harness) you just need the left and right channel speaker wire.
Get a 1/8" phono cable and cut it in half. Now you have 2 cords each with 1 jack on side A to plug into your computer, and the other end 3/4 wires. If there are 3 wires than It is Left, right, ground. If it is 4 wires than it is left, ground, right, ground. Then just connect them to your wires that go to your amp.

hi friends
- i have constant problem with redhat 9 while playing the video files like .avi format file etc. Can u suggest the player and its complete installation procedure
- And also give me the link for download of the player.
.AVI is a wrapper format that will hold both a video and audio codec's data. So when stating AVI, you tell me little. This could be DIVX, Xvid, Windows Media (these are the common ones). For the first two and most of the Windows ones, grabbing the codecs from Fluendo is the legal way across the board, or if you are in a country that allows for it, grabbing the codecs from a repository is another (free in this case) way.
As for where to get them, aside from fluendo's site, I don't recall offhand. I can look into that and if I find somewhere that has useful instructions I will post them. But offhand, it was using MPlayer or Xine and grabbing the associated codecs. DAG's repository I think has them for more current revsions (Like Fedora).
If this is too much to comprehend at this time, I would suggest using Linspire or Freespire (the free unsupported version) since they include all the codecs that you could need out of the box. If you do choose to buy Linspire, to save a few bucks, sign up for CNR first, then just download the ISO. Otherwise they get an extra $40 out of ya ;D
Plus CNR is coming to Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE in the near future. You can port that CNR account to any of the newly supported platforms at that time.

Prince Charles is drawing criticism for reportedly comparing the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine to those of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Charles is currently visiting Halifax, Nova Scotia, where a woman reportedly overheard him make the comment. Marienne Ferguson, a Canadian Museum of Immigration volunteer who fled Poland during World War II, told the Daily Mail in an offhand comment, "And now Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler."
"I had finished showing him the exhibit and talked with him about my own family background and how I came to Canada," Ferguson told the paper. "The prince then said 'And now Putin is doing just about the same as Hitler.'"
The 78-year-old woman told the Daily Mail that she was surprised to hear a member of the Royal Family make such a statement, even if she and others agree with him.
"I told the prince that while my family and I were lucky to get a permit to travel, many of my other relatives had permits but were unable to get out before war broke out on September 1. They were sent to the concentration camps and died," she recalled.
Later, the BBC caught up with Ferguson, who said she didn't expect the comments to get such attention. It was "just a little remark. I didn't think it was going to make such a big uproar," she told the BBC.
A Clarence House spokesman said that they will not comment on the private conversation. CNN said that it could not verify if the conversation actually happened. Putin's office has also not commented.
Coincidentally, Prince Charles, who is first in line to the British throne, and Putin will be attending the same D-Day memorial ceremony in France next month. Clarence House said that there were no plans for the two to have a meeting, even before the comments went public.
Some have taken to Twitter to condemn Charles' comments, including member of Parliament Mike Gapes, who tweeted:
In constitutional monarchy policy and diplomacy should be conducted by parliament and government. Monarchy should be seen and not heard.
— Mike Gapes MP (@MikeGapes) May 20, 2014
However, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg did say that the prince has the right to express himself. "I have never been of this view that if you are a member of the Royal Family somehow you have to enter into some Trappist vow of silence," he told BBC Breakfast.

Abracadabra! While most was celebrating our Independence Day, Timbo and Skateboard P were hard at work in the lab with Missy working on her upcoming album, Block Party. Hopefully we hear the end result soon. hhnm
Tag: timbaland
Timbaland keeps Aaliyah Haughton's memory alive for the latest edition of Timbaland Thursday. RIP Baby Girl.
It's a little late, but Timothy goes into his vault and comes through with some music from upcoming artist Sincere. I think we all can agree that some things are better left stashed away. Last Week: Eve "Nothing To Say"
After a few weeks off from Timbaland Thursdays, Timbo releases the original version of Loso
While we patiently wait for Fif's new single, New Beats Daily releases a never-heard-before cut from Curtis with Timbaland on the boards. Old or new, guess the Internet keeps the music coming.
Here's something that we haven't seen before. Ok, bad joke. But for this week's Timbaland Thursdays, Timbo lets his beat build while the 106 Freestyle champ manipulates his flow.
Timbo keeps his weekly music series going and flies solo with his latest. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't even board this plane.

So apparently it's not against the law to ban ObamaCare in any state. It's up to the state leaders to do so though. There is one state that I heard is banning it and that is South Carolina. I'm sure there will be more states to follow if they are in agreement enough. This is a good idea if you have a majority of people who disagree with it. I know that there are some people who really don't want it. I have heard some people are paying more than they used to pay before for their health insurance with this supposedly good health care we're supposed to be getting.
I'm not sure that forcing us to pay for it is a good idea though and then fining us if we don't pay for it is ideal for all. It makes you wonder what else will the President force us to pay for along those lines. That's just my opinion. If you benifit from it then that is a good thing but all of us are not. I personally sometimes wish this would have been around when I was 25 so I could have stayed on my parent's insurance when I got deathly ill at that age and had no insurance.

FC Dallas selects Stephen Keel in Stage 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft
FRISCO, Texas – FC Dallas has selected former Red Bull New York defender Stephen Keel in Stage 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft held today via conference call. FC Dallas now holds the 29-year-old's rights and can negotiate a new contract with the player.
"We were really excited that Stephen was available in the draft," said FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman. "Coming out of Wake Forest, Keel has a good foundation having played a few years in the USL First Division as well as his time with Fernando Clavijo at Colorado. He is a strong, aggressive, no nonsense defender. He is very courageous in the box, winning almost every header that comes in his direction. He will be a good addition to our defense as we continue to look at ways to improve."
Keel logged 501 minutes in nine appearances for New York last season after racking up MLS highs in games played (16), starts (13) and assists (2) with the Red Bulls during the 2011 season. The Littleton, Colo. native spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons with the Portland Timbers in the USL First Division, where he played in 53 matches.
Keel originally signed a developmental contract with the Colorado Rapids in July 2005. He played 10 first team matches for the Rapids between 2007 and 2008.

When many of us think of a rebel we think of someone who challenges the status quo because of a feeling of confinement or discomfort with how society is unfolding. Buddhist master Dzogchen Penlop shows us in his book, Rebel Buddha that we all have a rebel within. It is the seed of awakening in our brain that was planted by our karma, which begins to grow and stretch against the confines of the ego-mind. It is our inherent Buddha nature or awakened essence that is reclaiming our mind bit by bit, which is why it's a process, or a practice.
In most Buddhist schools, we aren't relying upon a savior to pull us out of the muddy waters of samsara, (the world) and into the clear light of wakefulness, which infuses into us the ability to live with discomfort without suffering from it. We are aware that no one can do this for us, and that is why it is why its hard work to practice the Dharma. It's not just a matter of saying some prayers and having faith that you'll be saved from suffering:
If you're interested in "meeting the Buddha" and following the spiritual path he described, then there are a few things you should know before you begin. First, Buddhism is primarily a study of mind and a system of training the mind. It is spiritual in nature, not religious. It's goal is self-knowledge, not salvation; freedom, not heaven. It relies on reason and analysis, contemplation and meditation, to transform knowledge about something into knowledge that surpasses understanding. But without your curiosity and questions, there is no path, no journey to be taken, even if you adapt all the forms of the tradition.James: We know that if we are to free ourselves from our situation that we have to lead the charge of the rebellion ourselves. We already tried putting the fate of our situation into the hands of another only to see it not come to pass, and while there are plenty of people along the route to walk with us and help us for a time; no one can do the final accent but ourselves. And while such an epiphany can be daunting it is refreshing to know that it has been done before; so why not us? We are just as capable of freeing ourselves as anyone else who has gone before us, but only if we have the courage to follow that rebel within.
It is that voice inside our head, which says, "Something is missing in my life. I am no longer satisfied with what the world tells defines as leading a fulfilling life. I am not happy and want to change my circumstances." This is the rebel within that Dzogchen Penlop teaches in this wonderfully timely book because it is going to take rebellion of the spirit to over-come the chaos of modern life:
On the spiritual path, this rebel is the voice of your own awakened mind. It is the sharp, clear, intelligence that resists the status quo of your confusion and suffering. What is this rebel Buddha like? A trouble-maker of heroic proportions. Rebel buddha is the renegade that gets you to switch your allegiance from sleep to the awakened state. This means you have the power to wake up your dreaming self, the impostor that is pretending to be the real you [...] You are the champion of your own freedom. Ultimately, the misson of the rebel buddha is to instigate a revolution of mind.James: The life of the Buddha was one of rebellion. He rebelled against his father and the luxurious life granted him. He suspected there was more to life than the material pleasure that fulfilled his Earthly needs but left him spiritually hollow inside. He rebelled against the Brahman teachers of his day who told him there was nothing left to discover, spiritually. Still, the rebel inside himself told him that he must push forward, into the unknown. It is the rebels who find freedom because they keep trying to escape their prison of suffering regardless of the set-backs. It is the slaves who simply do not try or assume that there is no point to trying. They are frozen in stone.
All it takes to free oneself from the ropes of doubt that plague them is some wiggling. So, if you have the strength yet to break free once and for all from the confines of suffering then do what you can--wiggle. In other words, take baby steps. Read books like this one, take walks in nature and focus on the details around you. Contemplate on how you are interconnected and benefit from all that beauty around you. Ask and discuss questions that bind you down but don't rely upon any one person too much. Keep searching--always. Don't let others do the thinking for you--question everything.
Let go of expectations. listen to your heart and just be in the moment -- let it all soak into your ropes and soon you will have worked the ropes enough to begin unraveling the emotional bondage. But it takes time. This is the wisdom contained in Rebel Buddha -- So, will you answer the call from your inner-rebel buddha, crying to be unleashed?
The good people at Shambhala have graciously given me an opportunity to giveaway one copy of Rebel Buddha. To make this fair I have decided to draw names from a hat. So, if you're interested, just say so in the comments and I'll include your screen name in the hat. It will be open for a week. So, get your names in by this coming Thursday when I will draw the name of the recipient. Thanks, and good luck!!

what kind of life would that be going to a person telling you "ok so how do you feel about that" all the damn time, i dont think im another gender but i have been to therapy on my anger problems and poo like that and it pisses you off even more
so what 3 4 5 6 and so on year old want to sit down with a stranger another adult tell them they have a problem when all that kid wants is what they want
the child wont be making any of that up they know what the want when they want it, and if the kid didnt think they wernt another gender they wouldnt even think or know twice about a sex change they wouldnt really care that isnt on their top list of things to do in life
but if a child feels like they are in the wrong sking then yeah they are going to talk about it,
a child that isnt they reall wont give a dam
I am guessing that you would say that whatever, you wouldn't want to change. You would want to stay who you are; as female.
I want to have a male body in the same way you wouldn't. I am male in the same way that you are female.
I think the line is drawn on how much stress it deals to the child. However strong you are, some things that happen to one child may be vastly worse than another child could imagine. It would be like saying that an epileptic child was weak for having fits with neon lights.
I'm not sure myself on the age hormonal treatments should be given. I'd say it depended on the child's maturity rather than a given age. But hormone blockers would be good as all they do is allow the child to reach an age where their opinions are more reliable.
Thanks for bringing a bit of clearness, sorry if I misused some terms, they just don't differ in my native language.
DDylan, very clever point indeed, but tell me one thing: where is the border? You see, I suppose there can be none for a little child who hardly even imagine what could his choice lead to, otherwise we would let 7 year-olds choose a profession. Second, I believe (and that's a scientifical fact) people do not born with developed sexuality, so a normal brain will feel quite comfortable in a token body, if not... Well, I highly greet helping ill people, but I asked you to imagine a real situation - a helping parent and a child who just hasn't formed yet. Yes, frankly I just can't trust medicine in this case and think where must be too many mistakes. Besides, I actually poorly understand all t
Now that's out of the wayGender disorders are a recognised medical condition, aqnd as such those ho are diagnosed with it need treatment.How do you get diagnosed with it?By jumping through large hoops - finding a Doctor and Psychologist who have experience with such issues, getting the actual diagnosis, working out how you'll pay for the treatment which can last for several years. The actual psychological evaluations are rigorous to seperate transgenderism from other disorders that it can be confused with by your average joe.
Those who have become transgendered often have often said that they knew from a young age that they were in the wrong body, even if they didn't know such a knowledge had a name.
Hence I fully support this - as it would make it ea
You missed the difference Nataly.We may WANT to be someone else. We may WANT to be able to fly or be pretty or whatever.
But we ARE what we say our gender is. It is NOT a WANT or a NEED even, but it is something that we ARE.
So imagine this:If you are male, imagine waking up tomorrow with breasts. If you are female, imagine a penis. You are still yourself, but you suddenly have the genatelia of the opposite gender. Plus, everyone suddenly starts treating you as that.You are not going to be able to adapt, because you would still be male, or still be female.
That is what transsexuals are like from the day we are born. It is not something that we can live with and get over, and it is not out of vanity or pride or anything else.
It is real, whatever the lucky people without the problem say.
Yup. Nature never makes genetic mistakes. Being born without certain chromosomes which causes downsyndrome never happens. It never make prenatal developmental mistakes either. Cleft lips and conjoined twins don't exist.
WOW So much hate, and for what. Do you know any transsexual people. Don't say no so fast because we are every where.
As for nature makeing no mistakes. Remember the mutated frogs found in Minnesota a few years ago. What about conjoined twins. How many examples should I list.
Imagine how hard it would be to be born in the body of the sex you really don't want to be. I can't even begin to imagine.
Everyone, try not to be so narrow-minded. Just because it is something you can't grasp, doesn't mean it's not there and that it's making people's lives really miserable.
To get back to the video: they can get so much more help just by getting this done earlier. They were NOT talking about surgery, but hormone treatment. I'm not sure if they're talking about delaying puberty or starting the actual transition. Either way, it's good. It's best to start as early as possible.
Much respect to PaulaJenel, DDylan and also ThursdayLark for clarifying some of this.

|Sales Tax Opposition Plans Press Conference
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 22 August 2010 10:28
Round two in the battle of the press conferences over the sales tax referendum—a vote called the recreation referendum by the county commission and the sales tax increase referendum by those in opposition. That group has arranged to use the commissioners meeting room for their press conference, and have scheduled the event for Tuesday afternoon at 5:15.
The "Watauga Co. Citizens Opposed to the 2010 Sales Tax Increase Referendum Committee," as they are now officially known, say they will allow comments, and have scheduled speakers, including a spokesman from the John Locke Foundation, an educational research foundation, other guests, and members of the "referendum committee". Their release says comments will be brief and the press will be allowed to ask questions, and if time allows, citizens may ask questions and/or make brief comments. Voting continues this week and the referendum is set for a week from Tuesday.

Yes we did sort out a 70mm run for SILVERPRINT and the order was never made to the best of my knowledge as no one ordered it.
I fully appreciate the cost of all ULF and photographic products, the pricing is the absolute best we and and our partners can deliver. As I have shared with you many times, we make this once a year to try and keep the costs down and hopefully cover most of ours.
If you can find an alternative at a lower cost then thats fine, most of these items are offered and made as no one else makes them, the 70mm perfed and unperfed was requested and has been made available as promised.
Kind Regards,

Cambridge University Hospitals Foundation Trust
Cambridge trust recruits leading academic to boost nursing care
Cambridge University Hospitals Foundation Trust has appointed Professor Christi Deaton to head up a new programme to drive through research projects aimed at improving nursing care for patients.
The Florence Nightingale Foundation professorship of clinical nursing research is the first post of its kind in Cambridge and one of just a handful across the UK.
It is intended to increase the number of nurse-led research projects taking place at the trust, which has jointly funded the post with the Florence Nightingale Foundation and the University of Cambridge.
Professor Deaton, a leading nurse academic, will be responsible for supporting clinical nursing colleagues to develop research skills, supervising PhD students, mentoring Florence Nightingale Foundation scholars and developing teaching programmes.
Cambridge University Hospitals chief executive Keith McNeil, said: "She will be working closely with nursing colleagues from across the trust to identify areas where improvements can be made, and then driving those improvements with the evidence gathered through robust academic research projects.
"The findings will be used to redesign health care pathways and interventions, ultimately improving both the quality and delivery of care, thus bringing significant benefits to all our patients."
Professor Elizabeth Robb, chief executive of the Florence Nightingale Foundation, added: "We look forward with great anticipation to Christi starting in November. We hope this will be just one key part of a network of prestigious appointments across the UK."
Professor Deaton said: "I am excited and honoured to take on the role. It's a tremendous opportunity to focus on improving care for patients."
"Following Florence Nightingale's example we need nurses to question practice, review and implement existing evidence into practice, and develop the evidence needed to deliver the highest quality care to patients.
"We are seeing increasing recognition of the importance of clinical nursing research, and support for clinical academic roles for nurses nationally. I look forward with great anticipation to working with colleagues at these world-leading institutions."

Life at Cliveden during the First World War
Latest update 14.11.2013 13:47
The First World War had an impact on life at Cliveden, not just for the residents but staff and guests too. The effect the war had here can still be seen today.
Pre-war hub
After being given Cliveden as a wedding present in 1906, the 2nd Viscount Astor and his wife Nancy turned Cliveden into a glittering hub of political and literary society. Guests included Rudyard Kipling, Lord Curzon, Winston Churchill and even King George V who dined at Cliveden in 1907. Staff numbers increased considerably at this time to help accommodate the famous visitors, with 20 house workers, 12 stablemen and 50 gardeners employed at one time.
Impact of war
When war broke out in 1914, the impact it would have on life at Cliveden was apparent from the start. Parts of the grounds was given to the Canadian Red Cross for use as a hospital and male staff working for the Astors went away to fight at war, rapidly decreasing staff numbers and leaving only women servants to help run the estate.
Living standards
Throughout the war, Cliveden ran along 'wartime economy lines' with poultry and sheep kept on the lawns and flowers beds replaced with essential crops of cabbages and potatoes. The Astors and their guests, who would have been used to a more lavish lifestyle, certainly felt the effects of the war. Willie Bridgeman wrote to his wife in December 1915 whilst staying at Cliveden, saying, 'the food was no war-fare, but was limited in quantity, and we had no alcohol- and only women servants!'
In memory
Sadly not all the male staff that left for war came home. A memorial plaque was placed on the outside of the Octagon Temple (also now the final resting place of members of the Astor family), to commemorate the staff who 'gave their lives in the Great War'. 15 names were engraved on the plaque consisting of 13 soldiers from the Royal Berkshire Regiment, one soldier from the Devonshire Regiment and one solider from the Wireless Signal Royal Engineers. The words written across the top of the plaque read, 'God is light and in him is no darkness at all'. (1 John 1:5).
The plaque is still in place on the Temple and can be visited today when the gardens are open.

Euless Trinity LB Brian Nance setting up official visits, names three: Baylor, OU and USC
Most of the top of our SportsDayHS Area Top 100 have made (at least initial) decisions on where they want to attend college; of the top 40, only four have yet to make an oral commitment.
The biggest jewel still unaccounted for among Dallas-Fort Worth-area recruits is Euless Trinity linebacker Brian Nance, No. 4 on our list. Nance has started to set up his five official visits, naming Baylor, Oklahoma and USC as definite selections. Nance said that he's still unsure about the final two choices, and that he'll make the decision soon after consulting with his father.
The 6-2, 210-pound Nance, who was second-team all-Area last season after getting 174 tackles for the Class 5A Division I runners-up, has an impressive list of offers on the table right now — Arizona, Arkansas, California, LSU, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA, USC and others.
It's still questionable whether he or two of Euless Trinity's other top defenders, DE Polo Manukainiu (No. 13 on the Area 100) and rover Sione Paipa, will see the field against Tyler Lee in Zero Week.
While Nance has been practicing with the first-team defense in practice this week, he's still rehabbing an off-season knee surgery. Likewise for Manukainiu, who hurt his knee in the offseason as well. Paipa — who horrifically broke both bones in his leg right above his ankle in the Coppell game — turned the same ankle on the final play of Trinity's first scrimmage. Paipa said that whether he plays will be up to an evaluation by the trainers on Thursday.

Spa Products' Limitless Future
By: Karen A. Newman
Posted: October 14, 2008, from the June 2006 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 4 of 4
As GCI reported in "September 2005 Worldwide Wellness Boosts Spa Biz" by Elyse Glickman, the $11.2 billion-plus spa industry is targeting both high-end and mainstream clients in an increasingly sophisticated spa market that is propelled by the growing wellness trend.
The growth of spa facilities and increased awareness has led to spa-inspired beauty products lining the shelves of everything from high-end beauty supply stores to department store cosmetic sections to the corner pharmacy. In fact, 2005 spa retail figures are expected to register at $701 million.
Our manufacturers are optimistic about the future of spa products. "Spa care looks bright, not only in the United States, but worldwide," said Gill. We are seeing a tremendous growth in the market.
McKenna's Singer agrees. "The spa products market has expanded enormously with larger spas adding more body products, at-home spa services, and more men and teens going to spas—as well as people wanting to take better care of their skin and themselves and having the knowledge at their fingertips." In Singer's view, the spa products market, like all skin and body care products, is always expanding with changing product knowledge, research and new technologies in raw materials. "The future is limitless."

HP's Slate gets it's 4 minutes of unofficial fame
Presumably the next tablet to step into the ring with the iPad is the Samsung Galaxy Tab and we shall see how that goes. But what about other manufacturers that have been promising tablet goodness? Well folks with the holidays right around the corner and the New Year lurking as well, leaks like this are sure to be a plenty in the near future. But for now it looks like we get a peek at the HP Slate, which is slated to be the next best tablet in the world.
A new video has surfaced upon YouTube showing off the HP slate in all its glory. The HP Slate is still un released and the version that this Youtuber showing off is still a prototype, so don't judge it too hard. x313xkillax is the Youtuber that has his hands on the device and take a little walk around the device and even turns it on to show the world what's inside…and it looks to be Windows 7. Some rumors surrounding the tablet video tell the device to be fake; however, it seems to be quite real and when compared to the version that was spotted in the past. The video goes on to show some features of the Slate, starting from the outside the reviewer shows off the backside of the device with the diamond, rubberized design and a 3 MP camera, he then shows off the sides of the device stating that the Slate is lighter than the iPad. Further showing off the sides of the device x313xkillax explains the SD card slot, a keyboard button with a microphone close by, on the top a volume rocker is spotted along with a USB port, a Ctrl-Alt-Delete key (all windows users rejoice) and a home button. Rotating to the other side of the device shows a power and locking button, as well as a 3.5 MM input jack and a Windows 7 sticker closely placed next to an Intel sticker. The bottom shows off a charging port as well as some speakers, onto the front of the screen shows a front facing camera.
The reviewer states that when in use the touch screen is very responsive, however, the idea of a touch screen Windows 7 device is surely still in question. What do you think about the new HP Slate? Looking good to you?Microsoft, tablet, windows

EU, religious leaders discuss poverty, social exclusion
Catholic World News - July 20, 2010
The presidents of the European Commission, the European Council, and the European Parliament took part in their sixth annual meeting with religious leaders on July 19. Bishop Adrianus van Luyn of Rotterdam, Cardinal Péter Erdo of Esztergom-Budapest, Archbishop Stanislav Zvolenský of Bratislava, and Dr. Flaminia Giovanelli, the undersecretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, were the members of the Catholic delegation. The meeting was devoted to combating poverty and social exclusion.
"We can neither allow the poorest and the weakest in our society to become the victims of this crisis yet again, nor can we burden future generations with the task of cleaning up after our mistakes while failing to do anything ourselves," said Bishop van Luyn, the president of the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union. Quoting Ven. John Paul II, Archbishop Zvolenský called for "social policies which have the family as their principal object," while Dr. Giovanelli, citing Pope Benedict's recent encyclical Caritas in Veritate, spoke of "a broad new composite reality embracing the private and public spheres, one which does not exclude profit, but instead considers it a means for achieving human and social ends."

Akitsushima Hull - 1/200 scale
I'm building Answer's Akitsushima and I've tried out some ideas about building the hull -- mostly gathered from this forum.
I used balsa for the formers. I'm not sure I would do that again. On small parts, it splits too easily. I laminated computer paper (24#) to the back side of some of the formers and that seemed to help. One or two of the "rib" formers split while I was gluing the deck to the hull, but they were not laminated on both sides. 1/16" Balsa is a lot easier to cut than 2mm card, but I'm not sure that outweighs its fragility.
To skin the hull, I first added extra formers between the ribs by photocopying parts P4 and P5 (the horizontal formers), laminating the copies to 1mm card, and cutting pieces to fit between the ribs. (See photo 1).
Then I cut a half-inch-wide strip of Tyvek® -- the plasticized paper that FEDEX envelopes are made of -- and stretched and glued it along the length of the hull, centering it on the edges of P4 and P5. Tyvek doesn't stretch, doesn't soak up moisture, is impossible to tear, and glues like paper--handy stuff. (It makes great hinges.) And it was free from the FEDEX store. (One large shipping envelope will go a long way--no pun intended.)
I set the hull aside and assembled the hull skin in two halves, fore and aft, using joiner strips made of computer paper. Where the two halves would meet I used a joiner strip of cardstock (scrap from the kit pages). I ran a line of rust-colored marker pen along each strip where the skin sections would meet, so no white paper would show through any gaps. I let the skin halves set up overnight.
The next evening, I carefully glued the forward half of the skin to the hull. I first glued the skin at the keel, gave that an hour to set up, and then carefully smoothed and glued the skin, section by section to the Tyvek strip, working from the center forward. I set the end of my 6" steel ruler behind the Tyvek strip to keep each section flat as the glue first set up.
I let that dry for an hour or so, then glued the aft half of the skin to the hull in same way: keel first, let it dry, then section by section from the center aft.
The result, as you can see, is a pretty smooth hull, with few gaps and very little distortion, except along the keel --where no one will see it.
This is only my third ship model -- Maly's Orp Piorun and and unfinished Uhu's U-boat came before. I like ship models, even with all the little fiddly bits, and I'm running out of ceiling room to hang airplanes.
I had originally planned to scale the Akitsushima up to 1/125 or so, but I came to my senses. At around 2 feet long, 1/200 is big enough. I still want to scale up Halinski's Jeremiah O'Brien to 1/100 -- for about $75 in duplicating costs.
Working on: Modelik Ba-6 Armored Car and a few other projects.
So, when is this "old enough to know better" thing supposed to kick in?

David: Nice hull.....I have the "Akitsu" too, on my build list.
Re your planned upscale: if you want the model, DO IT!! If anything, it will make me feel less bad about what I spent on the I-400!!
Best regards!
The hull looks great...what kind of glue did you use?
Akitsushima almost got the call for my next build, but I went with a Japanese cruiser instead. I'm looking forward to watching yours come together!
This does make for a very smooth hull, David!
Your paper laminated to balsa brought back memories of building stick and tissue models and transferring the former patterns by that method.
Hello David,
using balsa for the formers is a very good choice; you can stiffen it with PA glue if necessary. Smoothly sanding to follow the contour ... absolutely fine. The AKITSUSHIMA upscaling should be possible; the print screen of the YMCK could be a little problem? Anyway I willl be a close follower of your construction report.
With lovely greetings
the Wilfried

Your hull has come out very well, very smooth...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...
The World According to Me
Working on: Modelik Ba-6 Armored Car and a few other projects.
So, when is this "old enough to know better" thing supposed to kick in?
The J.O'Brien just seems like the perfect subject for scaling Up. Besides, I don't have room for an 8-foot Yamato, as tempting as that might be.
Another idea in my project file is to scale up the surperstructure and surrounding deck of Uhu's U-boat from 1/72 to 1/35 scale.
So many projects, so little time!
Working on: Modelik Ba-6 Armored Car and a few other projects.
So, when is this "old enough to know better" thing supposed to kick in?
Smooth hull and I wish I could do the same, maybe someday... I have a nice workboat frame waiting for skinning but I don't have the courage to try it yet. I scanned the parts so if everything goeas wrong I could work out a recovery of some sort but I'd rather use the original parts as neatly as you. Good tips and good work David, thanks.

HUF is getting busy with the sneakers, y'all. As we showcased in last week's post with their new Blossom Pack, HUF kicks provide a solid balance between skate and style and are slowly creeping up on everyone's "I need those for the summer" list.
Though it's only 20 seconds, this little clip featuring pro skater Josh Matthews shows us exactly what the new spring line of HUF sneakers is built for, and let's just saying these shoes ain't nothing to f*ck with. As we know, skaters don't just approve anything that comes their way, so it's safe to say it might be worth picking a pair or two of these up for your summer ahead.
Click below and see the mindblowing selection of HUF sneakers on Karmaloop.

i just got my newly built PC up and running, but whenever i go to boot it up it gets to the XP loading screen. It will either stay on the loading screen for a few seconds or it will reboot as soon as it gets to the loading screen depending on which HDD i boot from. Before it reboots it will quickly flash a blue screen for a split second then it will reboot and go through this process again.
I'm assuming that you are trying to use hard drives from an earlier system. You will probably have to do a repair install using the MS XP install CD.
You will also probably have to re-activate.
By the way, it is not a good idea to swap OS hard drives around for troubleshooting.
well one of them is a brand new 320GB SeaGate SATA and the other is from an old PC. I installed XP Pro on the new one and did a repair on the old one, but for some reason the new one still isn't working.
are you using one HD as master and the other as slave?
Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!
If you installed XP on each drive when they were the C: drive, you cannot use either one as a D: drive. If you did that and want both of them to be bootable you will need to have them both connected and then reinstall XP on the second (D:) drive.
Well, at first i just had the new blank drive in the computer and i installing XP Pro SP2 and it installed perfectly fine with no problems. But after it rebooted when the installation was completed it got to the black XP logo loading screen for a second or two. Then it was flash the blue screen for a split second and reboots. I've seen countless blue screens of death in my day but it doesn't look like any of them from what i can see. And when i brought the old HDD over it did the exact same thing.
Try safe mode. If it works you can turn off automatic restart and see the error message.
Otherwise strip the system down to only the essentials and maybe try another install. Do not have any USB/Firewire devices connected.
when i try booting it in safe mode it doesnt make any difference. the only thing i have attached to the MoBo right now are the essentials like video card, CPU/Fan, and the essentials.
If it was me, I would run a memory test for a couple of hours, at least. Any failures at all are not acceptable. If you have more than one RAM stick, you could try one alone.
Another thing to try is downloading a diagnostic from the hard drive manufacturer's web site. I would suggest doing a complete scan of the drive. It will take hours on a 320gb drive. I know the old drive does the same thing, but ...
If you have access to another optical drive, it would be something to try.
Check for other suggestions that might be posted.
what's a good memory test i could run?
Sorry about that. I forgot to include it.
There is a version to create a bootable floppy diskette and/or an ISO for creating a CD.
Or do a search for Docmem.
when i put put the disk in the drive it wouldnt read it

People love to throw around the words "best of all time†quite often in video games. Be it from misplaced nostalgic tinglings, or just shock and awe from the latest game design/technological revolution, it's safe to say we are easily impressed. But the world of video games is comparatively young. It is difficult to call anything the "best ever†in an industry so young with such a long future ahead of it. With that in mind, here is a top ten listing featuring some of the most overrated games ever.  10. Gears of War 2   Gears was always billed as being this console generation's Halo.  Well, it turns out that this generation's Halo was...well, Halo. Gears of War is still one of this generation's most prominent faces, but the sequel didn't quite live up to the reputation of the original.  For starters, the shallow yet badass one-liner heavy early 90s action movie storytelling from the original was replaced with something far more melancholy (and easier to franchise) which drastically altered the mood.  Beyond matchmaking, the multiplayer received no real game making innovations over the first installment, and the weapon rebalancing pissed off as many loyal players as it appeased.  Perhaps Gears 3 can offer a true step up in the formula.

Residents watch their homes of many years torn down-A A +A
Saturday, March 8, 2014
THIRTY-three-year-old Melchor Abellaneda is among the 157 affected families in demolition in Sitio San Miguel, Barangay Apas, Cebu City.
He said it is painful to see the house he built and lived for 11 years torn down in minutes.
Abellaneda's house is among the six houses that have so far been demolished by the 200-man wrecking crew since the demolition was implemented last Tuesday.
In an interview with Sun.Star Cebu yesterday, Abellaneda said he knows his house is built on a property they do not own.
But he believes Aletha Suico-Magat, the owner of Lot 942 and Lot 947, should have the structures demolished because she is not the rightful owner of the property.
Like the other residents, Abellaneda said the property where they live is owned by the Cebu Provincial Government under Executive Order 20 issued on June 9, 1918 by the Office of the Governor General of the Philippines.
Abellaneda said he had lived in Lot 942 since 2003 after losing his job in Davao City. He is originally from Toledo City.
Taxi driver
He came to know the area since it is where his brother lives.
Although his house has been demolished, Abellaneda said he has no plans of going back to Toledo City since he can't find a job there good enough to feed his family.
"Taxi driver man ko. Kon muadto ko didto, wa koy kitaon. Naa man gyud diri sa syudad ang daghang tawo (My work as a taxi driver is here in the city)," he said.
Abellaneda said he and his family will take temporary shelter at Apas Barangay Complex.
He hopes, though, that the City Government can provide relocation site for them.
Violeta Dalmacion, for her part, doesn't want to leave her house as it has been her home for more than 30 years.
Dalmacion is a resident of Lot 947 where structures are yet to be demolished.
Dalmacion said she is ready to fight for her house, adding that it is not Magat who is the rightful owner of the lot but the Province.
"Mosukol ko. Wa gyud ko naghuna-huna ron nga ma-demolish mi. Di gyud an nila ma-demolish akong balay (I will fight. They cannot demolish my house)," she said.
She said she is ready to be jailed to protect her home.
Abellaneda and Dalmacion hope the court will issue a temporary restraining order against the demolition.
