This invention relates to labels and more particularly to multiple layer labels for application to curved or non-planar surfaces, and methods for making such labels.
The application of single layer labels to curved or non-planar surfaces is an old expedient. More recently, the use of multiple layer labels has been desired. When multiple layer labels are manufactured in-line or in cut sheet processes in generally flat format, their subsequent application to a curved or non-planar surface presents problems. When two adjacent flat labels are applied around a curved or non-planar surface, the outer layer is formed about one outer radius and the inner layer about a shorter inner radius. The differences in these radius dimensions can cause stress and other phenomena within the label structure which act to produce undesirable results in the label.
For example, the outer layer can be unduly stretched to disadvantage such as cracking, tearing, graphic malformation and the like. The inner label can be compressed or bunched, causing it to wrinkle, deform or produce otherwise undesirable aesthetic or physical configurations. Adhesion to the target can be adversely affected. Accordingly, it has been one objective of the invention to provide an improved multiple layer label for application to curved or non-planar surfaces.
Another objective of the invention has been to provide an improved multiple layer label supply with labels particularly useful for application to curved or non-planar surfaces.
Another objective of the invention has been to provide a method for the manufacture of multiple layer labels which facilitates this application to curved or non-planar surfaces.
A further objective of the invention has been to provide apparatus for making multiple layer labels configured for application to curved or non-planar surfaces.
To these ends, a multiple layer label according to one embodiment of the invention comprises a base label, an upper label and an overlaminate disposed over the upper label and holding it onto the base label wherein the overlaminate and upper label are attached at their ends to the base label, but in a central portion are arched away from or spaced outwardly from the base label. When the base label is wrapped or placed onto a curved or non-planar surface, both the base label and the upper label and overlaminate wrap around the surface with the arched portion accommodating the wrapping movement so no undue stresses are placed on the upper label and so the base label is not wrinkled. The preferred embodiment of the label structure thus includes an upper label and overlaminate which is pre-curved to facilitate application of the entire label structure to a curved or non-planar surface.
Other alternative embodiments are contemplated. For example, it may be desirable to provide an arched or pre-curved upper label, without any additional layer, such as an overlaminate, on a base label. Also, it is contemplated that the upper label may include multiple upper labels, all of which are pre-curved or arched on a base label.
Preferably, a trailing edge tab is provided on the upper label layer for release of at least one end of the upper label from the base label when in use and subsequent resealing thereon.
In preferred methods and apparatus of producing a pre-curved label structure according to the invention, an in-line press is modified to incorporate a pre-curve station. Alternately, the invention contemplates use with other forms of web presses. For example, upper labels are held on a base label layer web by an overlaminate extending beyond both leading and trailing edges of the upper label. A lift-up tab is attached to the trailing edge of the upper label layer by an intermediate portion of overlaminate, which also adheres the upper label to the base label layer.
The labels are then reversed in direction and drawn about a forming roller surface having a radius preferably about the same effective radius as the non-planar target surface. This causes the trailing edge of the upper label (overlaminate) to lift off the base label web). Other rollers with radiuses different from the target surface may be utilized to effect the invention. This wrapping around the forming roller surfaces thus breaks the adhesion of the intermediate overlaminate to a release coat area of the base label layer and it lifts and translates forwardly, the upper label and overlaminate lying outwardly of and in contact with the base label. A nip roller opposing the forming roller reattaches the detached portion base to the base label layer.
When the web direction is again reversed and the base label layer flattened out, the upper label layer and laminate curve or arch outwardly on the base label layer. Thereafter, the base labels are die cut on the base liner and the pre-curved upper labels on the base labels are stored or are applied to a curved or non-planar surface.
In this regard, the label structures of the invention, except for the pre-curve structure and method, are like those described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/266,638 filed Mar. 11, 1999 entitled MULTIPLE LAYER LABELS AND METHODS and expressly incorporated herein by reference as if fully and expressly set forth herein. The pre-curve station described herein is added to the apparatus of that patent in-line and at a point just prior to the die cutting of the base labels from the base label layer or web, and removal of the waste matrix.
The structure of the pre-curved label described herein is highly useful in providing an aesthetic, multiple layer label for use on curved or non-planar surfaces and without the stress, cracking, splitting or bunching of typical multiple layer labels when applied to such surfaces.
Moreover, the method and apparatus for producing such pre-curved labels is simple, inexpensive and useful in-line so that the entire label supply can be formed all in-line without intermittent operation or other stoppages. The pre-curve arch in the upper label is formed in them continuously and without treating the structures in any off-line equipment.
These and other objectives and advantages will become readily apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention and from the drawings in which:
FIG. 1A is an illustrative cross-sectional view showing how a pre-curved multiple layer label is configured according to the invention prior to application to a curved or non-planar surface, such as a cylindrical bottle;
FIG. 1B is a view similar to FIG. 1A showing the bending of the label as wrapped onto a target;
FIG. 1C is a view similar to FIG. 1B showing the progression of wrapping a label around a target;
FIG. 1D is a top view showing a label of FIG. 1 on a cylindrical target;
FIG. 2 is an illustrative elevational view of apparatus for making the label of FIG. 1, including a pre-curve apparatus;
FIG. 3 is an illustrative elevational view of the pre-curve apparatus shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an illustrative view of the pre-curve apparatus of FIGS. 2 and 3 showing use of different pre-curve rollers for differing non-planar surfaces;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a composite label web for making the label of FIG. 1 and showing its construction before the overlaminate is die cut;
FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view similar to FIG. 5 showing the die cut overlaminate;
FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view similar to FIG. 6 after the upper label has been pre-curved according to the invention; and
FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view similar to FIG. 7 but after the base labels have been die cut and the waste matrix removed to define the finished label supply.
Turning now to the drawings, a multiple layer label 10 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1A-1D and FIGS. 5-8. It will be appreciated that these figures are exaggerated for illustrative purposes with respect to the size of the components shown in the figures and the spacing of the components. For example, the relative thickness of the webs and other layers of the label 10, as well as the relationship of those thicknesses to a labeled item, such as shown in FIG. 1D, are exaggerated for illustration.
Turning now to FIG. 1A, a multiple layer label 10 comprises in a preferred embodiment, a base label 11, an upper label 12 and an overlaminate 13. Also shown in FIG. 1A are an adhesive layer 14 on the overlaminate 13 and an adhesive layer 15 beneath the base label 11. The adhesive layer 14 secures the overlaminate both to the upper label and to parts of the base label structure, as will be described, while the adhesive 15 is for the purpose of securing the label structure 10 to an item, such as a cylindrical container 16 illustrated in FIG. 1D.
Returning to FIG. 1A, a release coat 17 is provided on the base label 11, underlying, as shown in FIG. 1A, both the upper label 12 and an intermediate portion 18 of the overlaminate 13. A tab 19 comprising a portion 20 of the overlaminate 13 and a reinforcing layer 21 (formed from web 12W, laber described) is considered to be a part of the overall upper label structure, with the tab 19 being secured to the upper label 12 by way of the intermediate portion 18 of the overlaminate 13. The adhesive layer 14 serves to secure the overlaminate portion 20 to the reinforcing layer 21.
It will also be appreciated from FIG. 1A that the release coat 17 preferably does not extend under the portion 22 of the overlaminate 13 so that the overlaminate, at its portion 22, at one end of the upper label 12, is more permanently secured to the base label 11 than is the intermediate portion 18, which does reside on the release coat 17. The overlaminate 13 thus can serve at 22 as a hinge of upper label 12 on base label 1).
It will also be appreciated that the upper label 12 is spaced from the base label 11 by a gap 24 when the base label 11 is positioned in a generally planar or flat configuration, such as it may appear after the label structure has been formed.
For descriptive purposes, it will be appreciated then that the multiple layer label 10 includes generally a pre-curved upper label structure which is comprised of, in part, the upper label 12 and in part the overlaminate 13. The base label, on the other hand, may be described as a base label structure which includes the base label 11, together with a release coat 17 and the adhesive layer 15.
It will also be appreciated that the tab 19 extends from one end (preferably the trailing end) of the upper label structure.
Turning now to FIG. 8, there is shown a multiple layer label 10 similar to that shown in FIG. 1A, the difference being the addition in FIG. 8 of a liner backer or carrier web 26 under the adhesive 15 of a number of labels (10, 10A, 10B). FIG. 8 thus illustrates the multiple layer labels 10 as carried on a web, such as web 26, to form a label supply. Thus, referring to FIG. 8, the multiple layer label 10, for example, is carried on web 26 between other similar multiple layer labels such as at 10A and 10B for example.
It will be appreciated that the multiple layer labels 10 as they appear in FIGS. 5 and 6 are preferably formed by the process described and illustrated in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/266,638, filed Mar. 11, 1999, and entitled MULTIPLE LAYER LABELS AND METHODS and which is expressly incorporated herein by reference, as if fully set forth herein. Such an apparatus and process is illustrated diagrammatically at FIG. 2, the difference being the insertion of a label forming or bending apparatus 30 between operative stations or steps in an in-line process for manufacturing a label supply LS in rolled format, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Downstream of the apparatus 30, the labels 10 are modified and appear as shown in FIG. 1A and the label supply illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.
It will be appreciated that the forming or bending station 30 according to the invention herein, can be inserted in-line, in such a process so as to form a label supply LS continuously and in-line on the same apparatus. Alternately, the forming or bending station 30 could be used downstream on the web before final rolling into a label supply or at some other position in an in-line process.
Referring to FIG. 2 and very briefly making reference to the overall label forming process, a label press such as a "PRIME FLEX" label press made by RotoPress is utilized. This press includes a plurality of press stations, such as stations 35-39 illustrated in FIG. 2
At station 37, an upper layer label web 12W is combined with a base label layer web 11W by means of an overlaminate web 13W to form a composite web 40. From web 40, a waste matrix 41 of overlaminate material, for example, has been removed downstream of station 38 to produce a composite web, such as web 42, as more particularly illustrated in detail in FIG. 6.
Subsequent to passing through the bending and forming station 30, the web 42 is reconfigured as best illustrated in FIG. 7 where the web is identified as reconfigured web 43. Thereafter, the base labels are die cut at station 39 and a waste base label layer matrix 44 is removed therefrom in one direction, while the final label supply web 45, such as illustrated in FIG. 8, is produced at LS for storage for rolling or for application.
As more particularly described in the co-pending application cited above, the three webs 11W, 12W and 13W are combined in a process such as in station 37 by the use of precut holes extending through the web 12W so that the sticky overlaminate can extend through the holes and secure the web 12W onto the base web 11W for further processing.
While the multiple layer label 10 might be made up in another fashion or by other processes or means, the particular manufacture according to the aforesaid co-pending application, is particularly useful. The overlaminate 13W is thus applied over the upper label layer web 12W and secures it to the base label web 11W for further processing, such as at the bending and forming station 30 disclosed herein, and for the final die cutting of the base labels on the carrier web or liner 26 to form the label supply LS.
According to the process in that application, since the web 12W is precut with holes in it, the final cutting of the upper label layer from the web 12W and the overlaminate 13W at station 38, for example, produces the composite web 42 as shown in FIG. 6 from web 40 (FIG. 5).
The formation of the pre-curved upper label layer 12 is carried out at the bending and forming station 30 according to this invention and as more particularly illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Turning now to FIG. 3, the details of the forming and bending station to produce the arched or pre-curved multiple layer labels 10 is illustrated. It will be appreciated that the web, as it exists at 42, is fed into the station 30 and the modified web 42 is discharged from the station 30 as modified web 43. When the web 42 is fed into the station 30, all the label layers are relatively flat and adjacent each other. On the other hand, after passing through the station, the label structure has been modified and pre-curved so that the upper label 12 has been arched or curved away from the base label web 11W.
The forming and bending station 30 includes a web direction reversing roller 50, a nip roller 51 and a forming roller 52. It will also be appreciated in both FIGS. 3 and 4 that an air cylinder, such as at 59, is utilized to urge the nip roller 51 toward the forming roller 52 so as to provide the compression, the roller 51 being located opposite the roller 52 to nip the label web therebetween. The forming roller 52 has a forming or bending surface 53 thereon, which engages the underside of the liner or carrier web 26, such that the label structure, including the upper labels 12 and the base label web 11W are positioned outwardly thereof. It will be appreciated in this regard that the base label layer or web 11W is positioned between the surface 53 of forming roller 52 and the upper label layer 12.
As the composite web is drawn around the forming roller 52, it will be appreciated that the liner web 26 is drawn about a tighter or lesser radius than is the upper label layer 12. The forward end of the overlaminate at its portion 22 is pulled along by the web, however, as the bend around the roller 52 progresses, the upper label 12 and the overlaminate 13, and particularly the intermediate portion 18 thereof, is delaminated from the base label layer 11W and particularly from the release coat 17 thereon, so that, for example, it is spaced apart therefrom, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
As the web progresses in the web direction WD, shown by the arrows in the various figures, the detached portion 18 of the overlaminate 13 is pulled between the forming roller 52 and the nip roller 51 where the portion 18 is reattached to the base label layer 11W and any release coat thereon, as shown just downstream of the roller 52 for the preceding label structure.
It will be appreciated that the web 42, and as modified at 43, is continuously moved through the station 30. This continuous motion detaches the trailing end of the upper labels 12 and overlaminate 13 and then reattaches it, thereby moving the portions 18 of the overlaminate to a different or slightly different area on the base web 11W.
This reposition and resealing of the portion 18 of the overlaminate 13 is perhaps best illustrated in comparing FIGS. 6 and 7. In FIGS. 6 and 7, a datum or reference line R is provided at the end of the next following overlaminate. FIG. 6 illustrates the condition of the components on the web 42 immediately before passing through the forming and bending station 30. The distance from the trailing end of the tab 19 to the reference line R is illustrated by the distance arrow 56.
On the other hand, the components shown in FIG. 7 are in the position they assume in the modified web at 43 after passing around the forming roller 52. There, the distance between the trailing end of the tab 19 and the same reference line R, which has not moved in the web structure, is a greater distance 57.
Accordingly, it will be appreciated that prior to station 30, the intermediate overlaminate portion 18 extends over and is attached to the release coat 17 through an area X as illustrated in FIG. 6. While that intermediate portion 18 of the overlaminate 13 traverses the same distance after it is passed around the forming roller 52, it will be appreciated that it now has been repositioned and overlies a different area illustrated at Y in FIG. 7. Area Y has been moved to the right, or forwardly on web 11W, with respect to the web direction WD as illustrated by the distance arrow 57 in FIG. 7, which is longer than distance 56.
This movement or repositioning of the intermediate portion 18 of the overlaminate and the tab 19 to the right or forwardly as viewed in the figures creates, after the composite web has been wrapped around the forming roller 52 and then flattened out, a gap 24 between the upper label 12 and the base label layer 11W.
The initial attachment area X defined by the engagement of the intermediate portion 18 with a release coat 17 and base label layer 11W in FIG. 6, may overlap the reattached area illustrated by Y in FIG. 7, or it may be completely forwardly thereof, depending on the parameters used in the particular label application and target curvature as desired.
Preferably, it will be appreciated that there is a difference in the distances 57 and 56 of about 0.020 inches to about 0.030 inches when the labels in the roller 52 are configured for wrapping around cylindrical containers in the neighborhood of one inch or so in diameter, up to five or six inches or so in diameter. This is by way of example only and it will be appreciated that the amount of movement or reposition distance of the intermediate portion 18 and tab 19 with respect to the base label layer 11W and the size of the gap 24 will vary according to the operative radius of the forming roller 52.
Forming roller 52 has a radius which may be larger or smaller than is shown in FIG. 3. The opportunity to utilize varied size forming rollers a forming surfaces such as 52, 52A or 52B is illustrated in FIG. 4, with the remaining components of the apparatus of station 30 being essentially the same. The radius of the forming roller 52 is a generally related function of the intended target which the multiple layer labels 10 will be applied.
For example, it is preferable that the radius of the forming roller 52 generally approximates the similar radius presented by the intended target or item onto which the labels 10 will be applied. A direct correlation, however, is not believed necessary to obtain the advantages of the invention. There are many parameters involved, such as the thickness of the various labels of the composite multiple layer label 10, the nature of the materials themselves, curvature or shape of the target and so on.
Where a larger radius forming roller 52A is utilized, the modified label supply web is indicated at 43A. Where a yet larger radius forming roller 52B is utilized, a modified web is indicated at 43B. In each of these cases, the multiple layer pre-curved label 10 takes on the same or similar configuration as shown at 10 in FIG. 4.
It will also be appreciated that the bending and forming station 30 is located on an in-line continuously operating web press preferably in the general position as shown in FIG. 2 and as described above. The station 30 could be independently mounted or utilized in another suitable position in the forming process.
From the bending and forming station 30, the web 43 is transported to the treatment station 39 wherein the base label layer is die cut to define individual base labels 11 thereon. The waste matrix of the base label layer 11W illustrated at 44 is removed therefrom and the finally finished web supply illustrated at 45 and at the arrow LS is wound up.
Further looking at FIG. 8, it will be appreciated that the final cuts 59 are formed in the base label web 11W at station 39 (FIG. 2) to separate individual labels 10, one from the other, on liner 26.
As noted above and in an alternative embodiment, the bending and forming station 30 might be utilized downstream of the removal of the waste matrix 44, for example, still producing curved upper labels 12 on base labels 11.
Also referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, it will be appreciated that the forming roller 52 is described as having a forming surface 53 thereon. According to the invention, it is only necessary to bend the composite structure so that the upper label 12, together with the overlaminate, is detached at its trailing end and then reattached to the base label web. Any suitable forming surface might be utilized, with the surface 53 actually moving as a roller surface or the surface 53 might be a stationary surface on a stationary roller or other stationary element which does not roll at all, with the web simply slipping therearound, still functioning to cause the upper label 12 and the overlaminate 13 to break away, reposition and then be reattached. Accordingly, the invention contemplates the use of a forming or bending surface to detach and reposition at least an end of the upper label structure 12, 13 to form the pre-curved in the upper label 12 as illustrated in FIG. 3, whether or not the roller 52 or some other suitable forming surface is utilized.
FIGS. 1A through 1D illustrate the progression of the application of a multiple layer label 10 onto a curved surface, such as a cylindrical container 16. FIG. 1A illustrates the label 10 in a flattened format, with the upper label 12 being curved away from the lower or base label 11 and with a gap 24 therebetween.
FIG. 1B illustrates the preliminary wrapping of the label 10 into an intermediate position for wrapping around the container 16 of FIG. 1D.
FIG. 1C illustrates a further wrap where the gap 24 is substantially reduced to illustrate that progression of the closing of the gap as the label is wrapped around the container 16 (FIG. 10).
As the label 10 is finally wrapped around the container 16, the gap 24 decreases in size so that finally, as illustrated in FIG. 1D, the components of the multiple layer label are all adjacent each other.
At this point in time, it should be appreciated that the wrapping process may involve the attachment of the forward edge of the label 10 that is opposite the tab end 19 (see portion 22 of overlaminate 13) being first attached to the container, and thereafter wrapped around the container with the label 10 at its trailing edge proximate the tab 19 being the last portion of the label structure to be adhered to the container 16.
Alternately, the label 10 could be applied to the target tab end first. The label can thus open, in use, either to the left or to the right.
It will also be appreciated that the overlaminate at area 22 is secured by the adhesive 14, preferably directly to the base label 11. On the other hand, the intermediate area 18 of the overlaminate 13 is disposed over the release layer 17 on the base label 11 so that its degree of adherence to the base label 11 is less than that at the portion 22.
The reinforcing layer 21 of the tab 19 is preferably not secured at all to the release coat 17. It is easy for a user to lift up the tab 19 and to pull away the area 18 of the overlaminate from the base label 11 and thereafter lift the entire overlaminate and upper label structure 12, 13 away from the base layer 11 to expose the underside of the upper label 12 and the outer side or surface of the base label 11.
These surfaces, if desired, could be printed, such printing have taken place such as at the stations in the press of FIG. 2, as will be appreciated.
Thus, it should be appreciated that the pre-curved label 10, such as shown in FIG. 1A, is preferably supplied in a label supply such as shown in FIG. 8 for removal from the web 26 and application to a container such as container 16.
It should also be appreciated throughout that the pre-curved labels 10 are particularly adapted to application to curved or non-planar surfaces, such as those found on a container 16. These surfaces are generally cylindrical as illustrated, for example, or can be made of a plurality of flat surfaces extending around a rectangular or square or octagonal container, for example.
In any event, the label produced by the methods herein and as disclosed herein, is particularly useful for application to curved or non-planar surfaces which are curved in one dimension, such as to cylindrical or faceted convex surfaces, as opposed to more complex convex surfaces having curves in several dimensions, such as, for example, a spherically-shaped item.
It will also be appreciated that the materials of the composite label 10 can be of any suitable nature. For example, the overlaminate can be transparent, translucent or opaque and can be paper, plastic or other suitable material. This also applies to the upper label web 12W and the base label web 11W. Any suitable easy-to-release coats can be used and these are well known in the industry.
Finally, it should be appreciated that when as wrapped on container 16 (FIG. 1D), it is not necessary that the label structure 10 not overlap itself. The label could be overlapped when wrapped around a very small target.
Accordingly, the inventions provides methods and apparatus for forming pre-curve labels with particular utility and application curved or non-planar surfaces. When the pre-curved label is wrapped around such a surface, the expected stresses and difficulties are accommodated by the pre-curved nature as described, including the gap between the upper and lower label, so that the upper label is not stretched, cracked or split and the lower label is not bunched or wrinkled.
Moreover, the process of forming the pre-curved labels as described can be carried out continuously and in-line on the same press in which the label supply is formed, with only a slight modification to the press to add the bending and forming station 30 as described.
These and other benefits and advantages will become readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention, and applicant intends to be bound only by the claims appended hereto.

Alcohol and Drug Addicts Benefit from Yoga for Recovery
One out of eight Americans are addicted to alcohol or drugs. Of those with a substance abuse problem, at least 40 percent have a contemporaneous mental disorder of some type. While the root of addictive behavior varies from person to person, studies show correlations between an inability to process emotions and cope with stress in a healthy manner, and subsequent misuse of alcohol and drugs.
The estimated cost to our country in direct relation to alcoholics and drug addicts is over 250 billion dollars annually. With 70 percent of illegal drug users that are employed, the expense of substance abuse caused accidents, absenteeism and decreased productivity is on the rise. Health care costs are 300 percent higher for untreated alcoholics versus non-alcoholics.
Addiction treatment centers and agendas such as Alcoholics Anonymous' 12 Step Program aim to minimize a person's drive to drink alcohol or use drugs by addressing psychological and mental health issues. Using therapy techniques to calm, soothe and diminish anxiety, these programs are deemed helpful for those needing assistance.

Metal for Firefox 3.6
by alfredkayser
Metal for Firefox, theme optimized for using your own background. Based on the Nautipolis/LittleFox framework.For all Firefox versions from 4.0. Check "Version Information" below for details. Check "Version Information" below!
This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox because of the following:
About this Add-on
To change the background image do the following:
Go the Firefox profile directory, and into the "Extensions" folder.
(For me, this is: C:\Users\alfred\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\k0clmuvx.default-1368602453231\extensions\{81a7a680-d724-460d-aa2f-4b0d8d926fe3}\metal\)
(An easy way is to search for 'bricks'' or for 'background.png')
Just replace the "background.png" with some other image (some examples are included in that directory), and restart Firefox. This can also be a JPG or PNG image, as long as the filename is "background.png".
Note, animated GIF will also work, but will impact performance.
To change the font that is used:
Include the following in your userChrome.css:
window, page, dialog, prefwindow, wizard, popup, menupopup {
font-family: "lucida sans unicode" !important;
font-size: 15px !important;
Change the font name and size of font to your liking.
Metal will apply this then throughout the theme.

After a hot start to the season, the Boston Celtics have fallen to the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 13-23 record. But here's some great news for Celtics fans.
According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports, Rajon Rondo is targeting a January 17th return vs. the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I feel 10 times better than the first time. I feel more confident and stronger, more explosive. So what I'm doing in the weight room is productive."
(Quotes via CSNNE.com)
"I feel like I'm ready now, but I'm not in shape. I can go out there and I can give the team 10 minutes. I want to be productive out there. I don't want to limp or drag behind because of my cardio. That would be hurting the team. I don't want to be selfish and go out there and not be able to go up and down every possession and give it all I got. That's what I can't do right now."

The Year of the Fall
Even though the next elections are set for 2007, it is doubtful that the present coalition will last beyond next year. At a time of the total collapse of all the government systems and of values, when grandfathers and fathers are continuing to bury sons and grandsons, and terror is being called "the routine of terror attacks," 2004 is ripe for a turnaround. The year of the fall.
Twenty-seven years after the first swing of the government to the right, it is not impossible that in 2004 the second power turnaround in the history of the country will begin. Even though the next elections are set for 2007, it is doubtful that the present coalition will last beyond next year. At a time of the total collapse of all the government systems and of values, when grandfathers and fathers are continuing to bury sons and grandsons, and terror is being called "the routine of terror attacks," 2004 is ripe for a turnaround. The year of the fall.
Why now and not a year ago? Because our history teaches that the public's political digestive system is very slow. Its loyalty is greater than its urge to punish a failed government right away. Like they do in Brtain, for example. The Alignment (or Ma'arach, the precursor of the Labor Party) was reelected three months after the terrible blunder of the Yom Kippur War. It took 29 years, eight election campaigns, an accumulation of failures, thousands of dead in the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War, corruption in the top echelons of government and a public revolt for the voter to be ripe to punish the Alignment. Israel could not believe its ears when at one minute past 10 P.M., television newscaster Haim Yavin declared: "Gentlemen, an upheaval!" A late, but fatal punishment.
For the 27 years since then, during which time the Likud has been setting the tone in government, it has focused on setting up Jewish settlements in the territories that have been aimed at creating an irreversible situation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and in the eyes of the world we became occupiers and oppressors. This accelerating decline began with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's obdurate and brutal policy during the period when we were offered diplomatic initiatives. The economic, social and security situation is disastrous. But the public has been in no hurry to punish its leaders. On the contrary: In the elections that were held in January of this year on the ticket of peace and personal security, the Likud swept up a million votes, twice as many as Labor. With the enormous backing Sharon received in his two elections, he could have made huge changes, but instead he continued with his tough, uncompromising policy of terror versus terror.
The year 2003 will be remembered as one of the worst years this country has known. Israel is on the list of the countries that endanger peace in the world, and the issue of the separation fence has been passed along to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The intifada and the suicide attacks have wreaked destruction in all areas of life. Crime is rampant and public corruption has reached Sharon's doorstep. The situation of the individual in every area has become worse than it has ever been. Sharon's policy is leading to a dead end with blood and fire on the horizon. It is no trivial thing when past and present heads of the Shin Bet security service say in public that it is not within the power of the defense system to "win." Or when combat pilots and men from the elite Sayeret Matkal special operations unit refuse to serve in the territories because, in their opinion, the occupation corrupts. Ferment is bubbling and seething at all levels with respect to a prime minister about whom there are question marks concerning his ability to function. In the prevailing sense that things cannot go on like this, there is no doubt that the government turnaround is simmering beneath the surface.
To the obvious question of who will replace Sharon, the answer is simple: A. We do not have a new Charles de Gaulle. B. We do not have a natural candidate. But contrary to what is usually thought, apart from Levi Eshkol who was the natural successor to David Ben-Gurion, there has never been a natural successor in this country to any prime minister. Golda Meir, the most hated woman in the country in her day, was appointed as Eshkol's successor in order to maintain the rule of the old-timers in the Alignment. When she resigned as prime minister under the pressure of public opinion, Yitzhak Rabin was plucked - a total surprise - from the Ministry of Labor to be prime minister in order to block Shimon Peres. Yitzhak Shamir was elected as Menachem Begin's successor, only because he was there. Neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Ehud Barak nor Ariel Sharon was a natural candidate. All three got elected thanks to their ambition and their organization under the misconceived direct election system.
The next leader is unknown. Call him Mr. X, if you like. But potentially he exists. When the public ferment, the various organizational efforts and the dissatisfaction with the situation ripen into a burning desire to punish the failed regime by toppling it, the person will be found to lead this turnaround.

Hi Passoon,
This comes up in a default application without any changes on our part, so I don't think this is anything we fix. It hasn't caused any functional problems that I know of or prevented me from doing anything. It seems to be a minor "growing pain" that Sencha will likely clean up as part of the beta cycle. -Noel (my two cents)

He had me at "palimpsest."
Jason Rohlf's new exhibition at Diehl Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming looks to have what it takes to be a really fresh, exciting show. At least that's what images suggest. So engaging are Rohlf's pinwheel bright paintings they prompted me to read the man's "biography."
It isn't a biography; it's an artist's statement. It's wordy and needn't be, but there's "palimpsest!"
"Like an urban palimpsest many of the most thoughtful moments occur as these conflicting efforts achieve harmony and then begin to recede resulting in the melding of competing ideas," says Rohlf.
What he means is that when he's working, new ideas and "elements from the past" collide and layer. Hard fought details, he notes, likely "earn a swift opaque top coat as a result of each days [sic] fits and starts."
Other works depict birds. Rolf's birds are struck through with color, into a branch, and further. The hope, says Rohlf, is to express "intimacy shared between the activity and its effect on the environment it occupies."
"Jason Rohlf: Views from Here" is on exhibition at Diehl Gallery through August 11th, 2015. www.diehlgallery.com
Trailside Galleries' month-long "Masters in Miniature" invitational exhibition includes up to 200 small works by Trailside's artists. In its fifth year, the Miniatures Show is ever more popular. The show provides quantity, quality, and economy for those getting a taste of Western style art. From "tightly painted" to impressionistic canvases, it's easy to spend hours perusing. The exhibit is in its final days, so scoot!
Trailside never rests. At any given time during the summer the gallery offers a multitude of showcases and exhibitions. Works are available for straight purchase or by "draw." An ISSUU catalog illustrates "A Western Convergence," with masterful works by Bill Anton, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Z.S. Liang, Tim Solliday and Jim Norton.

Howdy! I'm back. The Jackson Hole Art Blog is up again! We'll be writing brief (up to 500 words) weekly posts about Jackson Hole Arts. Summer traffic is turning up early this year, so let's get going! Send me your news! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com OR email@example.com.
One of Jackson's most eclectic, sophisticated galleries, Heather James Fine Art, has two locations. Their home gallery is in Palm Springs, California, and its second gallery is here in Jackson. Currently featured is "Arts of Asia," a stunning artifacts collection.
"Antiquities loaded with historical, ritual, and cultural richness weave an intricate story of centuries of dynasties and eras in Arts of Asia," says the gallery. "Spanning 2,000 years, the objects in the show are organized by geography: China, Japan, and India & Southeast Asia."
Heather James' new series of online catalogs are beautifully composed. View catalogs of this and other Heather James collections at www.heatherjames.com
Jackson's Trailside Galleries presents "Fleeting Effects of Light," a show of new works by Brent Cotton. Light is the thing in our valley. Our light wears infinite guises, an artist's eternal muse.
"Raised on his family's cattle ranch in Idaho, Brent's first lessons in art were taught by his grandmother, a talented watercolorist. He grew up sketching the cowboys and horses he observed every day. In high school an influential instructor encouraged him to pursue a career in art," says Trailside. "Cotton attended workshops and studied with some of the best known names in wildlife and Western art, including world-renowned Western artist Howard Terpning."
"Fleeting Effects of Light" runs June 1 – June 30, 2015 at Trailside. An Open House and ArtWalk (which includes many galleries around town) takes place June 18, 5-7 pm. www.trailsidegalleries.com
Nelson Boren's big life story is reflected in his big, bold watercolor depictions of cowboy boots, chaps, rodeo gear, cowboy kids on fences and well-worn Western hats. From what I've read, Boren was a tad repressed as a young artist, and, though clearly talented, was kept from hanging his artwork anywhere in the house except his bedroom. In college, he studied architecture, only to be drawn to watercolors~~but gave it up, thinking he wasn't so good.
Back to architecture he went; but when that environment proved too restrictive Boren turned back to painting watercolors, this time taking it seriously. He ended up moving his wife and, by then, seven children, to Idaho. He started selling work door-to-door…and now he's a featured artist at Legacy Gallery.
He and pastel artist Terry Donahue share floor space at Legacy's Jackson Gallery, in a two-artist show opening July 5th; a reception takes place 4-6:00 pm.
Donahue's works are, by contrast, gentle. However, his works are also filled with dynamic movement and he chooses to depict a wide variety of wildlife. Some works have a minimalist presence, but are as exciting as any of his works that fill his canvas with paint. Donahue experiments well with space, and his colors are bold, rich. The artist's emotion is apparent. www.legacygallery.com
Trailside Galleries presents their third annual "Masters in Miniature Exhibition & Sale," showcasing over 250 small work-of-art treasures by Trailside artists. "Home" gallery artists will be featured as are many specially invited artists, Timothy Mayhew among them. Mayhew was kind enough to write and let the Art Blog know how pleased he is to be included in this year's special, juried event. The show runs July 15-28th, 2013, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 18th, 5-8:00 pm. All works will be sold by draw at 7:30 pm. The gallery's roster includes members of the Cowboy Artists of America and the Prix de West.
This is Trailside's 50th Anniversary year, and the gallery has just recently added a collection of exquisite area rugs crafted in the Middle East to its collections. Stop by and view them any day~~it's very nice to consider the "big picture" when it comes to presenting your art to the world! Beautiful, hand made carpets set the tone. Trailside is also a partner in the annual Jackson Hole Art Auction, being held this year on September 14th, at the Center for the Arts in Jackson, WY. www.trailsidegalleries.com
"The point of the show, and everything else we do at Heather James, is to bring works of excellence by a large variety of artists and genres to the viewing public and collectors. This show is no exception," says Heather James Fine Art's Shari Brownfield, gallery director. "Our goal is to always be searching for fine examples of paintings or sculptures by great artists. When you get all these greats together, and curate them either into an integrated thematic or genre show, it's amazing the conversations elicited just by hanging certain works side by side."
Right now Heather James Fine Art, known for its Post War, Contemporary, Latin American, Impressionist and Modern Art, as well as collections and works from all corners of the earth, is showcasing an impressive collection of (and I'm linking you to the best-known museum for this genre, the Autry) American Western Masters. Now on display at Heather James' Palm Desert location, the works come from a variety of private sellers. Together, they comprise one hell of a show. Represented artists are Maurice Braun, Gerald Cassidy, William Gollings, E. Martin Hennings, Frank Tenney Johnson, William R. Leigh, Frederic Remington, Joseph H. Sharp (sigh…love Sharp) and Olaf Wieghorst. Provenançes include institutions such as the Smithsonian, the Museum of Fine Art in Santa Fe, the Gerald Peters Gallery and private collections in Jackson Hole, Dallas and Houston, Denver, and the state of Florida.
"Art is knowledge at the service of emotion." ~ José Clemente Orozco
"Northwest Contemporary," curated by the Nicolaysen Art Museum's Lisa Hatchadoorian, the Missoula Art Museum's Stephen Glueckert, the Aspen Art Museum's Jacob Proctor and the Boise Art Museum's Sandy Hawthorn, opens at the Art Association of Jackson Hole on Friday, March 22nd, 5:30 – 7:30 pm. This opening reception is free; the show remains on display through April 21st.
Local artists Suzanne Morlock ("Free Fall," below) and large-scale installation artist Abbie Miller have, according to the Art Association's Thomas Macker, transformed the gallery space into " re-contextualized environments of form and tactile texture." All textures are tactile, but these are undoubtedly very enticing to the touch.
And, testifies Macker, your body will "re-map" as you move through this show. The work "allows you to feel weightless as your eye glides through serpentine forms in a white cube cage."
Go WITH your eyes, don't let them wander off by themselves!

XIA Links Server is a time-saving desktop application launcher that makes it easy for users to quickly find and open relevant programs. Network administrators manage which applications are displayed to users across every computer on the network at once from a single location.
XIA Links Server organises shortcuts to applications into one place so they can easily be found and launched by users. Applications can be grouped into categories making them easy to find on workstations with a large number of different programs. It is the perfect solution for those looking to replace Novell Application Launcher and works well in an educational establishment such as a school, college or university.
This video demonstrates the set-up and configuration of XIA Links Server including creating sections, applications, directories and web sites.
Our firm has used Novell Delivered Applications since 1999 and our users rely on it heavily for fast access to their most commonly used applications.
We were concerned about them losing that convenience when we eliminated Novell, but learned about XIA Links from an ILTA posting and it was the perfect replacement. We can structure their folders and view almost exactly as they appeared in Novell Delivered Applications and we know that will save us hundreds of helpdesk calls about trying to locate shortcuts!
Unlike Group Policy Desktop redirection which cannot account for applications being installed in different locations on different machines, XIA Links Server allows you to configure multiple possible locations to an application to account for different install locations between machines and for multiple versions of an application on the same machine.
In addition to this, applications not found on a machine can be hidden from the user.
Specify exactly which Active Directory Groups or computers you wish to receive application shortcuts.
Security can be assigned to allow or deny these targets.
Leaving Novell, we had to have a centralized management tool for shortcuts, links and URLs. XIA Links meets this need perfectly.
Adaptable, customizable and with responsive support this is precisely what we needed to optimize the management of our desktops.

Shooting mode information
Pressing the INFO button displays an overview of the current camera configuration. The Mark IV does away with the super-detailed but essentially illegible settings list, instead just presenting a full-screen version of the information shown on the top display panel. This display isn't interactive in the way it would be on a camera with fewer external controls, instead a different option screen is brought up depending on which button has been pressed.
|Shooting function display
|Normal display
Record review & play displays
The Mark IV has a fairly standard choice of playback screens and, as usual for Canon DSLRs, these can be tailored to your tastes, including the option of whether overexposed areas 'blink' or whether the histogram display shows luminance or separate Red, Green and Blue data. The maximum number of images that can be shown in thumbnail mode is 9 (the same as the Mark III), which doesn't make great use of the new, higher resolution screen.
|Single image
Shutter speed, Aperture, Exposure comp. Image number and card are shown. The rear dial moves between images while the front control dial 'jumps' (see below).
Single image
Shooting information (and histogram)
Shooting information (dual histograms)
Four image index
|Nine image index
3 x 3 thumbnail display. Exposure and file number relates to currently selected image. Use the quick control dial or front dial to browse / jump.
When browsing through images in the thumbnail views using the rear dial, images will 'scroll on' from the bottom right or top left corner (depending on the direction). The front dial can now be used to scroll through thumbnails a page at a time.
Additional functions
|Image Jump
In playback mode the front dial is used to 'jump' between images based on a choice of criteria shown above - including number of images, data, or file type (movie/stills)
Histogram display: RGB
|Recording a voice annotation
Hold the protect / sound record button for two seconds in display mode to begin recording a voice annotation (up to 30 seconds) which is 'attached' to the image (.WAV file has the same filename).
Playback of voice annotation
Image Protection
Image Selection for Protection
|Erase Mode
Press the Erase button to switch into erase mode, hold the Erase button and turn the quick control dial to select OK / Cancel / All. You can still browse images by holding SELECT and turning the quick control dial.

Good afternoon, Thank you for being informative and inspirational. Have a wonderful day. Sincerely, Noah Smith
That article was the most incredible piece of writing about the legal profession I have ever read. It was so on point I was basically stunned. You are absolutely right. Thank you for writing it and sharing it.
I think your articles are terrific. Brutal in their clarity! You could probably write something great on how to prepare a business plan for great service partners who are trying to move laterally.
I want to thank you for both the valuable content of your article, as well as for your boldness to tell the truth. There is little doubt that some might respond with hate mail for the statements you made in the article. But they are merely displacing to the author their dissatisfaction with reality. I routinely conduct initial consultations of people who want me to bring suit against their employers for discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, etc. I never take their cases, but I always counsel them. Hard as it is for them to hear my words, most of them thank me for telling them the truth and for explaining how things really work -- not how things should work. It is surprising to me just how many dissatisfied employees report that they have never had candid conversation with anyone, and have never "looked at it that way." We need more honesty. Thank you.
Your essays show a rare level of maturity, insight and professionalism that is missing too often from the business of law. Thanks for sharing them. Shelley Ewalt

I am afraid that he will hear my warning (the report of my weapon) just AFTER the (first) bullet hits him.
Hopefully he will lack sufficient time to (voluntarily) comply with my command to cease and desist being in my home.
But if he does manage to heed my commands (after being shot a few times) and run out of my house, I'm good with that.
"...bad decisions that turn out well often make heroes."
Gary D. Mitchell, A Sniper's Journey: The Truth About the Man and the Rifle, P. 103, NAL Caliber books, 2006, 1st Ed.
In our state, you have the right to use deadly force anytime someone enters your home in a violent and tumultuous manner, surreptitiously, or by stealth, and you reasonably believe that entry is attempted or made for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any person or committing a felony...if someone is in my home that I didn't invite, they fall into one of the categories mentioned above, my wife and family mean too much to me than to try and second guess a BG.But the question is, say you confront a BG in your home.
I watched 3 seconds of the movie and immediately knew what would happen.
The BG is being portrayed by Wesley Snipes and the GG agent type (not a cop) is Ryan Phillpe (see 'Way of the Gun'), while the female I don't know who she was but clearly both agent types suck as it goes to skill and working as a team.
As well in no movie does Snipes not make it through to the end so it was a given that the two agent types would fall for the hat on the ground I'm complying trick.
IRL though Snipes would be leaking fluid the same color as his matching suit and hat. The male agent character would have emptied his magazine with maybe one hot on target though non-fatal. The no name female partner would have emptied half her magazine and dropped Snipes with roughly half of those shots fired.

First off I would position myself differently there are non combatants in the line of fire, behind Snipes. Second at "You win" is when Snipes starts making his move. As telegraphed by his hand/body movements his tone is no longer surprised or docile as it had been. That is when I would have fired. It is where Snipes begins testing the GG. By the time Snipes says "YOU WIN" regardless of the words he is saying his tone is clearly saying your are dead punk. I have tested you and you are weak BOOM.
In my home there would be no talking. By being on my property they have already made it clear what their intent is. In fact they went by my no trespass sign that says that by proceeding they are knowingly trespassing and declaring their intent to do harm to me or mine.

wow, BG in my home....
I don't run an after hours hotel and he ain't there for tea
so, from behind cover.....if I see him no weapon in hand I'll tell him to get on the floor ONCE
if he does so or turns tail and runs out the door then I don't shoot
however if he makes any movement that makes me reasonably believe that deadly force is about to be used on me then I shoot

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 251950 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 250 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Friday night) Issued at 250 PM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Very disorganized areas of convection have continued to move east/northeast across the region today. None of these areas have been well-predicted by any of the models, including the high resolution convection-allowing (CAM) models. A deep-layer southwest flow of moist air has enabled convective systems to develop with little forcing evident in observations or models. This pattern will continue through the short term, making pops and qpf a real challenge. As for tonight, there should be a diminishing trend in precip coverage this evening. This trend is based primarily on the experimental SSEO (Storm-Scale Ensemble of Opportunity), which incorporates a range of high-res models into an ensemble-based forecast. Nocturnal stabilization and satellite trends upstream across western Missouri support this trend. Until then, some very heavy rain will continue with clusters of storms. Overnight lows will be mainly in the upper 60s under the influence of southerly winds and moist dew points. The forecast for Thursday is complicated by a lack of well-defined synoptic scale features. A broad southwest flow aloft will likely contain more impulses, any of which could generate convection. Convectively induced MCV`s may emanate from convective complexes over the southern Plains or Ozarks. A continuation of chance pops is in order for Thursday. High temps are a challenge as well. Will keep mid 80s in the forecast, but this may be on the warm side if convection becomes widespread. For Friday and Friday night, rain chances will be on the increase as a 500 mb shortwave trough lifts out of the southern Rockies and toward the central Plains. The strongest forcing will pass north and west of the Ohio River, and this is where pops will be in the likely category. Continued moist southwest flow could result in more pockets of heavy rainfall. High temps will likely be coolest in the Ozark foothills, probably staying below 80 there. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday) Issued at 250 PM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Warm and humid conditions will continue through the long term. The main forecast challenge continues to lie with precipitation chances. Deep-layer southwest flow Saturday will decrease over the remainder of the holiday weekend as mid level riding takes place over the eastern part of the county. The flow pattern will become weak and non-descript by Memorial Day. There will likely be a corresponding decrease in convective coverage over the holiday weekend as the flow slackens. Precipitation coverage, for the most part will be dependent on mesoscale features such as outflow boundaries and/or convectively- induced vorticity centers. Given the lack of model skill at longer time ranges with such features, the forecast will continue with generally 20 to 40 percent chance pops, with the lower chances being Sunday and Memorial Day. Given the moist environment and rather high PWAT values, locally heavy rain is likely in any thunderstorms that do manage to form. Even small doses of sun should be enough to push highs into the mid 80s, which the models have consistently been forecasting through the long term period. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1240 PM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Areas of showers and thunderstorms continue to plague the taf sites. Coverage has been somewhat higher than most of the computer model guidance indicated. Therefore, will keep tempo groups for shra or tsra through much of the afternoon. There should be a drying trend by sunset as the atmosphere stabilizes from a combination of previous convection and loss of solar heating. Late tonight, there will likely be areas of mvfr conditions in fog and low clouds due to very moist ground from recent rainfall. This should burn off by late morning, giving way to mainly vfr conditions at the taf sites. Winds through the period will be mainly south to southwest, but variable winds are expected in and near thunderstorm complexes. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None.
