A/N: I am warning you now, this is a lemon for those who wanted one in my story, The Roommate. Any comments regarding how I didn't warn you won't be tolerated, so please don't leave them. :) It is rated M for a reason. This takes place after my last chapter, but you don't really need to read that story to understand this, not really... Oh, if you didn't notice, this one-shot lemon was inspired by 'Fall Into You' by David Hodges and Amy Lee.
'So lead me, guide me, hold me. Hide me in love with all that you are and all that you do.'-David Hodges feat. Amy Lee.
Fall Into You
Thunder woke me from one of the most vivid dreams I've ever had. I've been having these kinds of dreams ever since our first day in Forks, where we went a tiny step closer to making love, up until the point we nearly did at that after party after the reunion. The thunder made me sigh in frustration, as that dream was the best one yet.
My eyes weakly opened as I stared out my bedroom window. It was about five in the afternoon, but it looked like it was later than that. I rubbed my eyes tiredly and kicked my blankets off of me. I was still in my clothes from when we got back from the airport. I had told Edward all I wanted to do was sleep when he asked me if I wanted to do anything and he suggested I take a nap, it surprised me that he wasn't tired, but then again, I was too scared to fall asleep on the plane ride back. I'm sure he slept pleasantly.
I was about to open my door when I found a note taped to the door knob. I picked it off and read it, already knowing it was from Edward, judging by the eloquent script. I read it to myself aloud. "Bella, I've left some clothing for you on your dresser, when you're ready, meet me downstairs." I smiled curiously and turned to find the hoodie Alice gave me for one of my birthdays in college, the one with the red patterned hearts, and a pair of dark jeans. I recognized them as they were what I wore the first day I met Edward. That made my curiosity peak even further and I changed into those clothes and fixed my hair, just as it was when I met him, a messy bun.
Not expecting to go anywhere in this weather, I left my shoes and walked downstairs barefoot and found the living room lit in candle light. I wondered why, it was very beautiful, but the power wasn't off, as I had just used the light in my room. "Edward?" I called out. I assumed he was in the kitchen, but I couldn't really tell. The candles were lit solely around the couch.
It was when he didn't call back that I decided to take a look around. The coffee table had been moved, and on the ground there was a blanket and pillows that leaned against the couch. The candles were set on top of the television, the DVD case that rested beside it, and on the floor, far away from any furniture and blankets. The candles scented the room in strawberry and vanilla which made me smile, if I wasn't smiling widely enough.
On each side of the blanket there was a coffee cup, which made my brows furrow in confusion. I was about to go pick one up, when a pair of arms came up from behind me, softly pulling me backwards. I didn't have to be a genius to know it was Edward. I put my arms over his own and leaned back, allowing my head to sneak it's way into the crook of his neck.
I felt his breath, hot and steady, at the nape of my neck and shut my eyes, reminiscing in my previous dreams. I came to realize that those animated dreams of mine were nothing compared to this. Yes, in my mind I pictured what it would be like when we first made love, but here we were, fully clothed, and I couldn't imagine anything any better than that.
We stayed like this in silence for a few minutes, but his fingers were tracing circles into my stomach which made me bite my lip as a strange lurch came to my stomach. I finally spoke up, not wanting to show how desperate I was for his touch on bare skin. "What's with the set up?"
"Mm, you should understand, Bella." He murmured huskily into my neck, sending shivers down my spine. My eyes went wide and froze into place. It all clicked into place, the candles, the darkness, him sneaking up on me and all of a sudden getting seductive! My dream wasn't going to be a dream anymore.
However, it did not explain the coffee and my having to change. "If that's what you're after, than what's with the coffee and why did I have to change into what I wore when I first met you in New York?"
"So you remembered, too?" I tilted my head up to look at him and a grin set onto his face as he began kissing me from my neck up to my cheek. I was almost certain he was going to jump back due to the heat of my skin because how flushed I was getting.
"Of course, but I didn't expect you to, how did you?"
"Because I love you, silly, when one is in love, it's hard not to remember everything about them, good or bad."
I bit my lip, restraining myself from breaking out into the biggest smile that I was certain would break my jaw. "I love you, too, but one more question. The coffee?"
"Where we first met here," he laughed. "You didn't remember that?"
I felt a guilty lurch in my stomach as I frowned. "I guess it might have escaped me, considering the moment..."
He noticed my frown and tilted his head to kiss it away. "We're not going to upset the mood by frowning, now are we?"
Shaking my head, I laughed and turned in his arms. "You know, when I told you I didn't want to do it at some club in Forks, but I'd rather it be here, I didn't mean for it to be the exact day we came back."
"Does that mean you don't want to?" Edward questioned, his brow raising, but a smirk still set onto his face as he knew I would disagree.
"Of course I want to," I blushed and set my gaze down cast. "But are you sure you want to?"
"I wanted to back in Forks, Bella, my mind hasn't changed. I love you."
My hands gently traced his chest over the black button up he wore when we first met. I responded to his comment with a kiss, deepening it, all the while feeling my heart pounding against my chest. We were close enough that I knew he could feel it. When he pulled away, I groaned in disappointment.
"Impatient, are we?" He laughed as I nodded with a pout. "Whatever happened to romancing the woman first?"
"Edward, you can romance me with how you run your fingers through your hair," I demonstrated by slowly lacing my fingers in his auburn locks. "Or with a simple kiss on the cheek. You don't need to overdo it with anything."
Closing his eyes, he took the wrist to my hand that was laced through his hair, sighing in contentment. He never tries to hide the fact when he likes something I do. I'm not sure how much time passed, or how long I could have stayed standing there without getting sick of it. Once again the moment was broken and I felt myself getting picked up suddenly and carried over to area he had created.
"Now you, wait here." He smiled, kissing me on the forehead as he put me on the ground and trudged off into the kitchen. I frowned at his absence, all the while wondering why he carried me just a mere few feet, whereas I could have walked myself. He's really going to overdo this, isn't he?
He came back with a tub of ice cream, and I instantly knew why. We were eating ice cream the first moment we said we loved each other, he even got the same flavor. "Isn't this a little over kill? You have coffee and now ice cream?"
"But the coffee cups are empty, they're only for show." Edward blatantly pointed out as he sat down next to me, handing me my own spoon. I crawled into his lap before he could make any other movement, he only smiled and placed the tub of ice cream to our right side. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a spoon full before dipping it into my mouth. I felt the cold liquid run down my cheek, and before I had time to rub it off, Edward was already there, cleaning the mess up for me, just like last time.
Once the liquid was gone, his lips found mine, but they didn't remain there for long. At the moment it felt as though he were either messing with me or testing himself. What we were about to do wasn't something you just test yourself at, it should be freely done, but I let Edward continue his small assault on my lips before I had enough and knotted my hands in his hair, pushing him close into me.
I could taste the vanilla ice cream on his lips, the chill and very essence of the flavor filled my mouth and I shivered in response. Edward gently pulled away with a chuckle. I slouched back against the couch and gathered another spoon of ice cream, yet again disappointed, but Edward seemed amused, just as he was with everything I did. "I'm not done romancing you, yet. Right now it seems like you're trying to do my job."
"I'm doing no such thing." I accused him, mocking pain and placing a hand over my heart.
He grabbed the hand and kissed it before moving to my forehead. "Are so." he came back.
"Am not!"
He smiled, my oh-to-favorite smile. That crooked smile that always left me breathless and made me forget about what I was even thinking in the first place. "Breathe, Bella," he tapped my nose. The finger that had tapped my nose ran down to my lips and traced around, when it went around once, he halted in the middle the second time before replacing his finger with his lips.
"Finish your ice cream." He whispered against my lips. I could feel his smirk as I narrowed my eyes and grabbed my bowl of ice cream and finished it. At first I was trying to be careful while eating it, but when Edward's hand grazed my thigh, the scoop that I had in my spoon fell onto the top of my collar bone, the part where my hoodie ended and met skin, as I jumped up in surprise.
"Cold! Cold! Cold!" I screamed and, gladly, didn't jump, but my arms were flailing about me trying to get the ice cream off.
Beside me Edward laughed and grabbed my arms at the wrists. I felt his weight over my own as he positioned himself above me, I instantly stopped trying to get the ice cream off, as I needed all the concentration on my breathing. "Klutzy Bella." He whispered into my ear and I felt his nose graze my neck, whereas his mouth was placed at my collarbone, the source of the mess I had created.
And I thought him kissing the ice cream from my lips was enough to give me a heart attack, but this was sheer insanity, pure torture, like his dire motive was, indeed, to give me a heart attack. As always, it was hardly fair.
His tongue still had that icy chill to it, or maybe that was just the ice cream that felt cold against my skin, I didn't exactly have the right conscience at the moment to ponder on whether it was his tongue or the ice cream. When his tongue went lower than necessary, I arched up, my head leaning against the couch. I closed my eyes as his kisses only grew more heavenly by the minute.
Edward looked at me, that same smirk on his face, I sighed blissfully as I opened my eyes to look at him. I could only imagine the color of my face at the moment.
Before I had a chance to speak, he picked me up bridal style, anything bridal I hardly wanted to think about, but one of his hands slid lower than on the back of my knee, and fell to my thigh, making me forget about anything bridal. He blew out the candles on the floor, but left the ones on the DVD case and television lit. He was headed upstairs, me in his arms, I looked back at the now almost-liquid ice cream. "What are you doing, Edward?"
"I need you, now." He whispered into my hair.
I stiffened in his arms, I was ready before, and I still was. I guess now that he was actually done 'romancing' me, the thought we were actually going to do it already, made me a bit nervous, so I made up the dumbest excuse to get more time to control my nerves. "But the ice cream-"
"You're the real desert here."
My eyes widened when I was gently placed onto the bed, his bed. Edward returned to his position above me, his elbows steadying him at my sides. His hand gently pulled my hair out of it's bun and he returned to his feverish kissing at my chest, making my head tilt back as an unexpected moan escaped my mouth. "Does that feel good?" He asked against my skin.
I stupidly nodded in response, even though he wasn't looking up and couldn't even tell. He made a trail of kisses from my collarbone, up to my hairline and stopped to look me in the eyes. "I don't really know what I'm doing, so tell me if you don't like something."
"Oh, you're doing just fine." I breathed out, trying my best to hide my embarrassed flush after I said that. "You act as though I do know what to do."
He smiled politely and, still looking me in the eyes, slid his hand into my shirt, his hands grazing my stomach made me shiver in response. I felt the cloth of my shirt glide against my stomach as Edward rose it up, trying to take it off.
Like a block of ice, I froze, not entirely sure of what to do at the moment. My shirt reached my arms, and I lifted them so he could have better access to taking it off. Once it was off, I was once again nervous, probably more than before. I tried covering my clothed breasts with my arms, but Edward grabbed them before I did.
"You're beautiful, every single part of you."
I smiled shyly as he spoke those words, but the smile turned upside down as he lowered his head to the valley of my breasts and traveled to my stomach. I gasped in surprise, not entirely expecting it to feel so good. "Edward." I weakly called in a meek voice, entangling my hand into his hair.
This time he didn't look up at me, he simply returned to his assault, but when I grabbed his arms and tried my best at pulling him up, he turned his head, looking at me confusingly. Words really didn't need to be spoken as I grabbed for his shirt and slowly, shakily, started undoing the buttons to it.
Edward seemed to still at my touch as my fingers skimmed his chest on the way down from unbuttoning his shirt. I lifted my head once I slid the shirt off his arms and casually threw his shirt to the floor, his eyebrow quirked curiously as I wrapped my arms around his lower back, to raise myself.
I began the same torture to him as he did to me, or at least I tried my best to, anyways. I kissed him, starting at his lips, to his chin, and then at his collarbone. When I felt him still under my arms, I stopped and looked at him.
He seemed to know what I was thinking, as usual, and assured me what I needed. "That felt nice, more than you can ever imagine."
I gave him a slight smile before he returned to kissing my stomach. I felt an ache in the pit of my stomach, much like I had back at that night club, only now I was sober. My desire for Edward only swelled further as I felt him begin unbuttoning my jeans and sliding them down my legs. The sounds of cloth hitting floor rang out and before I knew it, he was kissing my abdomen as his hands were toying with my thighs.
It was overwhelming, every second his lips touched my skin, I felt my temperature raise even higher, and my passion peek even further.
His body raised and his hands went to my upper back, at the clip to my bra. He questioned me with his eyes, and I only nodded, badly craving him to continue. He seemed hesitant at first, but when I began messing with the buttons to his jeans, he looked at me wickedly before I felt the pull and the release of my bra being unclasped.
Edward put his head at my ear, kissing the lobe and I let out an amazed gasp as he nibbled it and whispered in my ear that he loved me. My heart thudded, amplifying my love for him. He laughed, and I was sure it was because he could feel how flushed I was by the heat of my skin touching his. I smiled proudly, glad that he didn't seem to be hesitant anymore. He made sure that his previous worries wouldn't come back by whispering he loved me in various times.
I was sure I felt the best of this so far when he had kissed my stomach, when his kisses came across my breasts, I felt my back arching up more so than it had when he had done the same thing to my stomach. My eyes were weakly open in slits as I felt his thumb skim from my breasts to the beginning of silk at my abdomen.
His thumb playfully teased the area, making me more frustrated by the minute as he kept tracing the lining of the panties. I had worn blue undergarments for a reason, but I didn't expect him to take so much time 'studying' them, as he said when I asked what was taking him so long.
He was kissing my neck when I felt his index finger pull into the fabric and started tormenting the fabric's way down my legs. By tormenting, I mean he was taking this as slow as he could. But as the fabric reached my ankles, I took the liberty of gently shaking it off the bed and made my way to play the same torture onto him as he did to me.
His boxers were a plain color of red, but as any other color, it went along with his skin color. That was a trait I was jealous about.
My hands at his sides, I tenderly pulled the fabric away from his body, and when I heard a hiss escape his mouth, I knew I was getting my revenge. My thumbs came across his abdomen, and his kisses on my neck halted and he turned to look at me, knowing what my plan was, but none the less, didn't stop me. The cloth pooled to the floor with the rest of the clothing as I let out a sharp intake of breath as I studied his body, every curve, every line, every depth of his muscles.
When I looked up, he was staring down at me. His gaze on my body suddenly made me aware of what we were doing again, and I turned away, blushing. Edward's hand clasped around my chin as he looked me in the eyes and came in for a kiss. He whispered against my lips, one last time, that he loved me.
And that was all the assurance I needed as he slowly eased inside of me. I bit the insides of my cheeks as I grasped the blankets roughly, the cloth coming in between my fingers, assuring how tightly I was holding them. I heard it was painful the first time, but I definitely wasn't expecting it to be like this.
Edward abruptly stopped and his eyes held only worry and love for me as I stared up at him. I rubbed his left arm with my hand, and smiled wilfully at him, urging him to continue slowly.
And he did, all the while kissing every spot he could on my body, trying to falter the pain I felt. The pain was replaced with pleasure as his fingers caressed my breasts and skimmed my skin lightly, leaving a cold shiver as it passed, only to delve into a burning sensation.
His pace suddenly became what I didn't need, and I began to thrust my hips upward, urging him to go faster. His hesitance had came back, but when he felt my hips come up, he knew I wasn't in pain any longer.
We matched paces, coming in sync with each others breaths and movements. My legs wrapped around his waist as my finger nails dug into his skin, the thought fluttered across my mind that I was hurting him, but his gentle, but quick and passionate penetration inside me, and his kisses at my breasts and neck, only assured me as I let the thought run away.
All the while kissing me, his hand had came up and rested at my thigh, creating more of a desire than necessary. I brought my hand up and took his from my thigh, to link them together. I could feel him looking at me, but my eyes were closed as my other hand grasped the blankets once more, but this time, it wasn't in pain.
At my breasts, his tongue had flicked out at the nipples as I arched my back at my climax. He had, unimaginably, created the greatest sensation on my body as his last thrust came, causing me to let out a moan of his name and collapse against the bed.
I could feel his heavy and hot breath on my neck as he whispered sweet things to me, I soon tuned them out, lost in my own little world of pleasure.
We stayed like this, him inside me, for a moment, both of us seeming to not want this moment to stop. He moved, albeit against my whines for him not to. He softly laughed as he pulled the blankets up over us, and behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist, one hand doting on my stomach, circling around the belly button.
I wanted only silence as he rested his chin at the top of my head. I had closed my eyes, wanting only to sleep in his arms. He pulled me tighter against his chest and I slowly opened my eyes and turned in his arms, wondering if he felt guilty about it, but he only laughed once more and kissed my forehead. "No, Sweet Bella, I don't feel guilty. I love you, so much." He showed me that love with a deep kiss on the lips.
"I love you, too, Edward." I gently whispered as I rested my head at the crook of his neck. He hummed my lullaby, and I could feel the vibrations of it on his chest as both his voice and vibrations lulled me to sleep. It was my lullaby, something he wrote for me. He was the most important person in my life, now and forever.
The expression falling into sleep is tossed around a lot, but tonight, I fell into Edward, only him. Edward was something that was definitely better than sleep.
I got a little mad at the ending because I accidentally clicked a link that made this screen disappear, so I had to rewrite the ending, so the last line I didn't enjoy, for some reason. What I had before the link was much better, but I couldn't remember it. (Thus why you should use a word program, instead of writing it on here firstly, more mistakes are bound to happen-lesson I learned.) Hope it was okay.

The ion probe is particularly suitable for localized trace element analysis, owing to the very low background in the secondary ion mass spectrum. It is therefore worth exploring the possibilities of the technique in relation to trace element distributions in meteorites, in cases where the sensitivity of the electron probe is inadequate. Ion probe measurements of Ni in olivine in pallasites show concentrations in the range 20-35 $\mu g$ g$^{-1}$ and a diffusion profile in Eagle Station olivine grains has been observed, the central Ni content being higher than that at the edge. In Glorieta Mountain the opposite trend is seen and there is an inverse grain-size correlation (small grains having the highest Ni content) indicating a different thermal history. The trace element Ga, which is important in connection with iron meteorite classification, is well suited to ion probe analysis and is found to be strongly concentrated in taenite in both iron meteorites and chondrites.

Hi all,
I am 25 weeks pregnant with my second baby, and I am looking to do unassisted pregnancy and childbirth.
But I really need to know--- how important is my due date? I got pregnant while BFing, so I have no idea when I ovulated. I had my pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound, but not until this week, when I was estimated to be due 11/18.
I know that second-trimester ultrasounds aren't as reliable for dating, and that the standard error on the machine I was "sounded" with is 15 days.
My plan was to go to the hospital if I go into labor prior to 35 weeks...what EDD (estimated due date) should I base that on (i.e., do I have 10 weeks left until I'm clear, or 12)?
Any and all insight into determining an EDD (estimated due date) (including whether it's really necessary) is welcome!

Description: In this eloquent first-person account of a family drama that changed the face of American business, the man who transformed IBM into the world's largest computer company reflects on his lifelong partnership with his father--and how their management style and shared dedication to excellence united to create a unique corporate culture that became the blueprint for the entire technology boom. In the course of sixty years Thomas J. Watson Sr. and his son, Thomas J. Watson Jr., together built the international colossus that is IBM. This is their story: a riveting and revealing account of two men who loved each other--and fought each other--with a terrible fierceness. But along with the story of a father and son, this is IBM's story too. It chronicles the management insights that shaped its course and its unique corporate culture, the style that made Thomas Watson Sr. one of America's most charismatic bosses, and the daring decisions by Thomas Watson Jr. that transformed IBM into the world's largest computing company. One of the greatest business-success stories of all time, Father, Son & Co. is a moving lesson for fathers who dream for their children, as well as a testament to American ingenuity and values, told in a disarmingly frank and eloquent voice. Promising to remain an important business reference as we move into the next century, FATHER, SON & CO. takes a look at the management insight that helped to shape IBM's course and unique corporate culture. It looks at Watson, Sr., one of America's most charismatic bosses, and Watson, Jr., who spurred IBM into the computer age. Ten years after its original publication, FATHER, SON & CO. remains a uniquely honest book. Watson's willingness to write about the loving but ferociously combative relationship he had with his father and the turbulent battles behind some of IBM's most far-reaching decisions gives readers rare insights into the realities of leadership. --

Article of the Week
An Unearthly Child was the first Doctor Who story ever to be broadcast. It was first shown on the 23 of November, 1963. It featured William Hartnell as the star role of the First Doctor, co-starring with Carole Ann Forde, Jacqueline Hill and William Russell. The story was directed by Waris Hussein who wasn't the original director and replaced one who backed out at the last minute. However, his work was highly acclaimed. The first episode was written by C. E. Webber, however, it was adapted by Anthony Coburn from one episode into four. The four epsiodes were produced by Verity Lambert who would continue to produce for the next two and a bit years.

Concord, NH – New Hampshire Fish and Game says they have sold more than 2,500 Hike Safe cards, generating more than $66,000 in revenue since the program began in January.
Senator Jeb Bradley, who was the lead Senate sponsor on the legislation establishing the Hike Safe card, released the following statement in light of the program's success.
"In a state where the mountains are an incredible resource for family recreation, tourism, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the globe and as an avid hiker myself who was among the first to purchase a hike safe card, I am encouraged to see the Hike Safe card program's success in New Hampshire since it launched in January of this year.
"Purchasing this voluntary card aims to protect hikers from being liable for the cost of search and rescue efforts in case of emergency and provides the means for the state to perform other costly rescues when needed," said Senator Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro).
"I look forward to the Hike Safe program's continued success in the state of New Hampshire."

Anne de Visser (Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute, University of Amsterdam)
In ferromagnets below the Curie temperature, TC, the electron spins align to produce a net magnetization. For a long time it was thought that superconductivity is incompatible with ferromagnetism. This is rooted in the microscopic BCS theory of superconductivity. The unusual coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity, reported for UGe2 (under pressure), UIr (under pressure), URhGe and UCoGe, therefore attracts much attention. In superconducting ferromagnets the superconducting transition temperature Ts < TC and superconductivity and ferromagnetism are carried by the same 5f electrons. In this presentation I will focus on UCoGe (Ts = 0.8 K, TC = 3 K). µSR measurements provide unambiguous proof for the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism. The upper-critical field Bc2 is strongly anisotropic and provides evidence for an equal spin-pairing Cooper state and a superconducting gap function with axial symmetry. The response to pressure of the superconducting and magnetic phases shows superconductivity is enhanced near the magnetic quantum critical point.

The Cold War was an intense and sometimes dangerous period (1948-1991) of political, economical and military tensions between France, her colonial empire, and her allies versus the United States, Russia and their allies. The Cold War's origins laid in the end of Global War III, right after the defeat of the Mosleist nations, led by England; leaving Russia, France, and America the world's global and only superpowers of the time. As the reconstruction of the world was in progress, disputes between France's expansionist ambitions and Russian and American wishes for a free world collided. With very little compromise in set, the two sides parted and thus began the Cold War. Nearly all nations took part in this conflict. America and Russia were sided by China, Korea, Japan, North England, South Africa, Australia, and their American allies (aka the Washington Pact) while France and her colonial empire were sided with the rest of Europe (aka the European Treaty Organization). Few nations, including India, Afghanistan, Perso-Arabia, Ethiosomalia, Kenya, and Palestine did not take part.
The term "cold war" can be confusing to those who first hear it, as it is actually not a war, but a period of intense competition between two sides. There was no direct military actions since the three superpowers (aka the "Big Three") had nuclear weapons. But mass-use of these weapons could lead to world destruction, so instead, it was expressed by the extensive spread of propaganda, immense aid to allies and groups, military, political, and economic alliances, espionage, conventional and nuclear arms races, the imploring of neutral states, rivalry and competition in space, technology, and sports. The Cold War had a cycle of peace, high tensions, and conflicts. Among the most important events in the Cold War were the London Blockade, Chinese War, the Caribbean War, the U-2 Crisis, the Panama and Nicaragua Crisis, the London Crisis, the Caribbean Missile Crisis, the Egyptian War, the Sectarian Period, the French invasion of Romania, and the "Atlantis" Washington Pact Naval exercises. The US and Russia and France fought proxy wars of various types: in East Asia the US and Russia fought to prevent French colonial aggression, in Africa France blocked any attempts of independence movements fostered by the US and Russia, in Europe where both sides fought to control Europe, and the Caribbean region where France struggles to preserve its rule from the Americans and Russians. However, one thing both sides can agree to was to stay out of nuclear war as much as possiblem so both sides endorsed a period known as the Detente in the 1970s to relieve international tensions.
In the 1980s, inspired by the Detente period, France, under Charles X, pursuaded both sides to put down their differences and encourage international cooperation rather than competition. Charles X introduced twp international programs: negotiation (negotiations; compromise to the other side for them to leave their arms down) and relieve (relieve; reduce military activity and aggression worldwide). Charles' actions opened the world to pursuade the rest of France and its colonial empire that imperialism and aggression are both unjust and encouraged demilitarization from both sides. By 1991, President Steve Wozniak and Charles X of France declared an end of the Cold War, leaving both sides as allies rather than enemies to one another. The Cold War and its events marked a perceptible legacy, and is commonly used in popular culture, especially in media featuring themes of espionage and the dangers of nuclear warfare.
"Big Three Comparison"
Early Tensions (1943-1945)
At the Atlanta Conference in Georgia, Napoleon V, President Roosevelt and Alexander III discussed future war plans and post-war plans. Although both sides wanted the meeting to work out, Napoleon struck disagreements with Alexander and Roosevelt. Probably the most discussed topic was the future of Europe. Napoleon pursuaded the two other leaders to give him control of most of Europe, while allowing England to be split into three different zones of occupation: one American, one French and one Russian. This was due to the destruction France endured and Napoleon wanted to ensure the country's security.
However, Alexander scoffed at him, suspecting he might try to take over them and threaten the rest of the world, starting another world war. He requested that Napoleon can control continental Western Europe, but Scandinavia will have the right to choose their over sovereignty while Russia takes control of Eastern Europe. Roosevelt, in the meantime, somewhat sided with Napoleon, siting that it may help accomplish a post-war goal of restoring order to Europe. Alexander knew that with French forces occupying most of continental Europe, this could severely disadvantage the Russians in the world stage.
And despite disagreements with Napoleon, both Roosevelt and Alexander had plans of their own. Both wanted large spheres of influence in political, economic, and military terms. Both disagreed how their plans should go along. And while this may strain Russian-American relations, this strain would be too temporary in the test of time. Russia wanted to have a sphere of influence over most of Asia while America wanted a sphere of influence over most of the Americas. However, both disagreed about Japan and China. However, Alexander agreed to let the Americans occupy Japan as long as the Russians have a large occupation share of China.

Remove all of the inner door panel screws around the front and base of panel.
1 screw just under the top aluminium frame has 1 screw that needs to come out. (from the outside).
Remove the 2 screws holding the glass and the 2 height adjustment pieces in the top bar. Lift the door glass out.
then the fabric covered door card can be pushed forward to release.
The inner door panel is clipped into the aluminium frame with plastic clips so pull the inner panel off the frame.
View from inside. Note the inner panel is detached but held in place inside the door frame,
it cant be removed completely unless all the cables are detached.
The glass quarter panel is held on by 2 screws, lower one has a shim inside to adjust the angle of glass.
You shouldn't need to remove this small piece of glass to remove the regulator.
Drill out the 4 pop rivets holding regulator in place.
The regulator can now be lifted up and removed from the door frame.
You will need 4 rivets to refit the new regulator. 1 of the top rivets will need to be longer as it passes through
the roller. With the regulator securely fitted you can reinstall everything back into the door and test.

Because the Analyze an Argument section of the test requires you to critique an argument and discuss the logical soundness of it, we will study the logic of arguments before we begin writing our essays.
Most argument questions hinge, either directly or indirectly, on determining the conclusion of the argument. The conclusion is the main idea of the argument. It is what the writer tries to persuade the reader to believe. Most often the conclusion comes at the end of the argument. The writer organizes the facts and his opinions so that they build up to the conclusion. Sometimes, however, the conclusion will come at the beginning of an argument; rarely does it come in the middle; and occasionally, for rhetorical effect, the conclusion is not even stated.
The police are the armed guardians of the social order. The blacks are the chief domestic victims of the American social order. A conflict of interest exists, therefore, between the blacks and the police.—Eldridge Cleaver, Soul on Ice
Here the first two sentences anticipate or set up the conclusion. By changing the grammar slightly, the conclusion can be placed at the beginning of the argument and still sound natural:
A conflict of interest exists between the blacks and the police because the police are the armed guardians of the social order and the blacks are the chief domestic victims of the American social order.
The conclusion can also be forced into the middle:
The police are the armed guardians of the social order. So a conflict of interest exists between the blacks and the police because the blacks are the chief domestic victims of the American social order.
It is generally awkward, as in the previous paragraph, to place the conclusion in the middle of the argument because then it cannot be fully anticipated by what comes before nor fully explained by what comes after. On the rare occasion when a conclusion comes in the middle of an argument, most often either the material that comes after it or the material that comes before it is not essential.
Writers use certain words to indicate that the conclusion is about to be stated. Following is a list of the most common conclusion indicators:
Conclusion Indicators
follows that
shows that
conclude that
as a result
means that
These conclusion flags are very helpful, but you must use them cautiously because many of these words have other functions.
All devout Muslims abstain from alcohol. Steve is a devout Muslim. Thus, he abstains from alcohol.
In this example, thus anticipates the conclusion that necessarily follows from the first two sentences. Notice the different function of thus in the following argument.
The problem is simple when the solution is thus stated.
In this example, thus means "in that manner."
Most often the conclusion of an argument is put in the form of a statement (as with every example we have considered so far). Sometimes, however, the conclusion is given as a command or obligation.
All things considered, you ought to vote.
Here, the author implies that you are obliged to vote.
Son, unless you go to college, you will not make a success of yourself. No Carnegie has
ever been a failure. So you will go to college.
Here the conclusion is given as an imperative command.
The conclusion can even be put in the form of a question. This rhetorical technique is quite effective in convincing people that a certain position is correct. We are more likely to believe something if we feel that we concluded it on our own, or at least if we feel that we were not told to believe it. A conclusion put in question form can have this result.
The Nanuuts believe that they should not take from Nature anything She cannot replenish
during their lifetime. This assures that future generations can enjoy the same riches of Nature that they have. At the current rate of destruction, the rain forests will disappear during our lifetime. Do we have an obligation to future generations to prevent this result?
Here the author trusts that the power of her argument will persuade the reader to answer the question affirmatively.
Taking this rhetorical technique one step further, the writer may build up to the conclusion but leave it unstated. This allows the reader to make up his own mind. If the build-up is done skillfully, the reader will be more likely to agree with the author, without feeling manipulated.
He who is without sin should cast the first stone. There is no one here who does not have
a skeleton in his closet.
The unstated but obvious conclusion here is that none of the people has the right to cast the first stone.
When determining the conclusion's scope be careful not to read any more or less into it than the author states. Certain words limit the scope of a statement. These words are called quantifiers—pay close attention to them. Following is a list of the most important quantifiers:
Whether the world is Euclidean or non-Euclidean is still an open question. However, if a star's position is predicted based on non-Euclidean geometry, then when a telescope is pointed to where the star should be it will be there. Whereas, if the star's position is predicted based on Euclidean geometry, then when a telescope is pointed to where the star should be it won't be there. This strongly indicates that the world is probably non- Euclidean.
Although the opening to the passage states that we don't know whether the world is non-Euclidean, the author goes on to give evidence that it is non-Euclidean. The author doesn't say that the world is non- Euclidean, just that evidence strongly indicates that it is. In the last sentence, the word probably properly limits the scope of the main idea that the world is most likely non-Euclidean but can't be stated so definitively.
Once you've found the conclusion, most often everything else in the argument will be either premises or "noise." The premises provide evidence for the conclusion; they form the foundation or infrastructure upon which the conclusion depends. To determine whether a statement is a premise, ask yourself whether it supports the conclusion. If so, it's a premise. Earlier we saw that writers use certain words to flag conclusions; likewise writers use certain words to flag premises.
Following is a partial list of the most common premise indicators:
Premise Indicators
is evidence that

inasmuch as
may be derived from
Premise indicators are very helpful. As with conclusion indicators, though, you must use them cautiously because they have other functions. For example, since can indicate a premise, or it can merely indicate time.
Since the incumbent's views are out of step with public opinion, he probably will not be
Here since is used to flag the premise that the incumbent's positions are unpopular. Contrast this use of since with the following example.
Since the incumbent was elected to office, he has spent less and less time with his family.
In this case, since merely expresses a passage of time. The statement as a whole expresses an observation, rather than an argument.
Suppressed Premises
Most arguments depend on one or more unstated premises. Sometimes this indicates a weakness in the argument, an oversight by the writer. More often, however, certain premises are left tacit because they are too numerous, or the writer assumes that his audience is aware of the assumptions, or he wants the audience to fill in the premise themselves and therefore be more likely to believe the conclusion.
Conclusion: I knew he did it.
Premise: Only a guilty person would accept immunity from prosecution.
The suppressed premise is that he did, in fact, accept immunity. The speaker assumes that his audience is aware of this fact or at least is willing to believe it, so to state it would be redundant and ponderous. If the unstated premise were false (that is, he did not accept immunity), the argument would not technically be a lie; but it would be very deceptive. The unscrupulous writer may use this ploy if he thinks that he can get away with it. That is, his argument has the intended effect and the false premise, though implicit, is hard to find or is ambiguous. Politicians are not at all above using this tactic.
Politician: A hawk should not be elected President because this country has seen too
many wars.
The argument has two tacit premises—one obvious, the other subtle. Clearly, the politician has labeled his opponent a hawk, and he hopes the audience will accept that label.
Furthermore, although he does not stateit explicitly, the argument rests on the assumption that a hawk is likely to start a war. He hopes the audience will fill in that premise, thereby tainting his opponent as a warmonger.
When attacking an argument, we often challenge its suppressed premises. Finding the suppressed premise, or assumption, of an argument can be difficult. To test whether something is a suppressed premise, ask yourself whether it would make the argument more plausible. If so, then it is very likely a suppressed premise.
American attitudes tend to be rather insular, but there is much we can learn from other countries. In Japan, for example, workers set aside some time each day to exercise, and many corporations provide elaborate exercise facilities for their employees. Few American corporations have such exercise programs. Studies have shown that the Japanese worker is more productive than the American worker. Thus it must be concluded that the productivity of American workers will lag behind their Japanese counterparts, until mandatory exercise programs are introduced.
The unstated essence of the argument is that exercise is an integral part of productivity and that Japanese workers are more productive than American workers because they exercise more.
Example (Suppressed false premise):
The petrochemical industry claims that chemical waste dumps pose no threat to people living near them. If this is true, then why do they locate the plants in sparsely populated regions? By not locating the chemical dumps in densely populated areas the petrochemical industry tacitly admits that these chemicals are potentially dangerous to the people living nearby.
The suppressed false premise of the argument is that, all things being equal, there is no reason to prefer locating the sites in sparsely populated areas. To weaken the argument, we need to show it is not true that all things are equal. In other words, there are advantages other than safety in locating the sites in sparsely populated areas, such as cost and ease.
Example (Suppressed true premise):
The news media is often accused of being willing to do anything for ratings. However, recent action by a television network indicates that the news media is sometimes guided by moral principle. This network discovered through polling voters on the east coast that the Republican candidate for President had garnered enough votes to ensure victory before the polls closed on the west coast. However, the network withheld this information until the polls on the west coast closed so that the information would not affect the outcome of key congressional races.
The suppressed premise in this argument is that the network expected its ratings to increase if it predicted the winner of the presidential race, and to decrease if did not predict the winner.

Ms. JACKSON LEE. I thank the gentleman from New York. It was thought provoking to hear the gentleman from Nevada offer his thoughts of bipartisanship and to listen to the astute gentleman from Virginia on the many issues that have been left along the highway of despair, and also to be joined by Congresswoman Clarke from New York, whom we will hear from shortly.
Let me thank you for the leadership you have given to this special time, and let me try to work to be succinct on the issues that have been left along the highway of despair.
You started out with immigration reform, and you were kind enough to note that I have served on the Judiciary Committee for a number of years, formerly the ranking member on the Immigration Subcommittee, and now the ranking member on the Border Security and Maritime Subcommittee.
I will tell you that there are many times when we could have come together and passed comprehensive immigration reform, but I am going to tout as a bipartisan legitimate expression of border security, to share with my colleagues H.R. 1417, which many know was passed out of the Homeland Security House committee through the efforts of Republicans joined by Democrats, and the legislation passed with no weaknesses, no loopholes, no disrespect for the importance of the security of the northern and southern border. There were very strong responses as it relates to operational control, as it relates to the amount of control that we would have at the border, but matching it with the recognition that there must be an infrastructure of immigration reform. But let me throw all those words away and say there must be humanity. There must be concern for human beings, for families torn apart, for DREAM children destined to be valedictorians or salutatorians or to be generals in the United States military. We are losing the talent of those who have trained here with knowledge about the next level of technology because of the no H-1B because we do not have a comprehensive approach. Those folks are leaving, and, therefore, we are losing the geniuses that we trained to be able to help us.
So I want to join the gentleman and say to him that, if there is any cause on which we can come together, it would be comprehensive immigration reform. Might I just take note of my button that honors the Fast for Families, those that have been fasting for almost 20 days, almost a month, because they are trying to pull at the heartstrings of America and the heartstrings of this Congress to recognize that they are Americans, too. They are just a few blocks down the street. A few blocks down the street, families, children are fasting, asking, Is there someone who can hear our plea?
So I thank the gentleman for bringing it up, and I just want to make some other points that we have been lingering on and have not followed through on.
I introduced H.R. 2585, which is an antibullying bill, Prevention of Bullying and Intervention, and reflects where America is when you can find most every child that is interviewed has indicated that they have been bullied; or something happens to a child in high school, and they will talk about having been bullied some years back; or a child will be shot or violence will occur, and they will talk about bullying, even to the extent it is raised up in the NFL. And I want to pay tribute to a young man at the Baltimore Ravens, Mr. Rice, who has taken this cause up from the NFL.
H.R. 2585 would reauthorize the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant, and it would provide sort of a sentence road map that allows organizations that would be funded under the block grant to be able to focus on bullying prevention and intervention. How simple a legislative initiative is that? And I would offer to say that I heard from leadership on both sides of the aisle. So why not pass something as simple as that even before Christmas to be able to move forward on something that would not, in fact, be a negative?
I just quickly want to indicate that we have young people exposed to violence in ways that we have not known. Thirty percent of U.S. students in grades 6 through 10 are involved in moderate or frequent bullying. There are cases in Florida where young people have been arrested because, tragically, someone committed suicide, or the hearing I held in Houston where parents upon parents and students came in to testify how they had been bullied. One out of four kids is bullied.
Some would say they are calling everything bullying. Well, I believe if we do the outreach, we can find a way to develop an infrastructure so that there will be people who find the comfort of knowing someone cares, a system that intervenes when someone feels something is untoward, and to break the shackles of bullying by getting rid of the atmosphere that is tolerated because it is done in silence and fear.
I also introduced gun safety legislation, and I would hope that some day we could have universal background checks. As I was driving to the airport, I read an ad in the Houston Chronicle that had gun safes on sale. I said that guy, I want to give him an award, because my simple legislation requires individuals to store their guns. They can have all the guns they want, but have them stored and safe, particularly if you have a large number of them, to be able to secure and protect children and those who want to do us harm.
One of the things that the CBC worked on, and I am proud that we
worked on it, but I will say that it brings me sadness, we are at a point where we have cut $40 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition program. I went to my food bank and had them explain what a devastating impact that $40 billion, $4 billion a year, will have on the people who are in need in Houston in particular.
In my city of Houston, the census report said over the last 12 months, 442,881 incomes were below the poverty level, and 18 percent of households in the State of Texas in 2009 through 2011 ranked second in the highest rate of food security. So why can we not have an ag bill that would restore the $40 billion? Why are we suggesting that those individuals are deadbeats when one-half of the persons on food stamps or SNAP are, in fact, children? That is something, Mr. Jeffries, that we could come together on and redo or the conference could redo. We could look to ensure a place of laws but a place of humanity.
In conclusion, allow me to throw in two disparate points, but I consider them justice issues. First, that is the Affordable Care Act, which is a justice initiative. It is to say that we all have access to good health care. That is not a carte blanche for good health because we must all change our attitudes and do a lot of things to make us healthy, but it certainly is an intervener that allows to us have preventive care; it allows women to not be characterized as a preexisting disease because they are pregnant; it allows children born with preexisting diseases not to be eliminated from the insurance rolls; and it allowed 13 million Americans to receive $1.1 billion in rebates from their health insurance last year when the Affordable Care Act was in place. Now 105 million Americans have free preventive services.
So all of the talk of the technology takes away from the core value that Americans should have access to health care, and today I am glad to hear that we are making strides in a technological system that is not always perfect. Let us not undermine this bill. I am very glad that the Congressional Black Caucus, under the leadership of our chairwoman, has been strong in educating our constituents about the Affordable Care Act.
In conclusion, a remaining challenge that we have: the Voting Rights Act must be reauthorized to the extent of a provision that was eliminated by the Supreme Court decision wrongly, Shelby County v. Holder, that took away the provisions of preclearance which, in fact, provided justice and the right to vote for all Americans. We are gathered, hopefully, in a bipartisan manner with the leadership of Mr. Sensenbrenner and others who are on various committees in the Congressional Black Caucus and the leadership of our Democratic Caucus and the Republican conference to come together in a bipartisan manner to be able to accept the constitutional premise best said by the Declaration of Independence: that we all are created equally with certain inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We have coddled the right to vote. We have welcomed the right to vote. I am reading a story about our Puerto Rican citizens who don't have the right to vote and how they felt like second-class citizens. There are those of us on the mainland that have had roadblocks thrown across the pathway that needed to be protected not only by the Bill of Rights but by the Voting Rights Act that has withstood the test of time, that has been reviewed. So it is important that we get a construct that all of us can support so that if there is a voter ID law, it does not block people from voting, it does not keep one particular group from getting a voter ID law because they do not have access, like in Texas with the Department of Public Safety. In essence, the Voting Rights Act is one that reaffirms America's commitment that every person has a right to vote--one person, one vote.
I want to thank the Congressional Black Caucus for being a leader on so many issues, from preventing gun violence to the issue of dealing with our children and anti-bullying and intervention, to the idea of the Affordable Care Act, to restoring SNAP funding, to the Voting Rights Act and, yes, to a comprehensive approach to immigration reform, particularly the idea that we worked on so extensively, and that is diversity visas.
When I go home and speak to people from all walks of life, particularly the African community, they understand the work the Congressional Black Caucus has done--the Haitians, those from the Caribbean, those from South Asia--in reuniting families. They understand that we have been a leader on the broad landscape of comprehensive immigration reform.
For that reason, I am hoping that we will not end this session by looking sadly back on what we have not done, but that we will roll up our sleeves. I also hope that before we leave here before the end of this particular first session of the 113th Congress, we will have the opportunity to see an ag bill that will restore a portion of the SNAP dollars, helping those who cannot help themselves; that we will actually have passed anti-bullying legislation that should draw Republicans and Democrats together; that we will have confronted the issue of comprehensive immigration reform, listened to the voices of reason, and passed legislation in regular order and then, as well, that we in conclusion find it within ourselves to eliminate the sequester in a way that provides funding back to the basic responsibilities of this government in rebuilding infrastructure, creating jobs, stopping the bleeding of losing jobs because we have kept the sequester long overdue; funding our defense; providing for education and the safety and security of our seniors and our veterans. Let's get to work.
I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries) for reminding us that we came here to roll up our sleeves and to work for the American people.
[Begin Insert]
I introduced the above legislation H.R. 2585 to save our children's lives.
H.R. 2585 will help to stem this epidemic by reauthorizing for 5 years Juvenile Accountability Block Grant program (JABG) and providing funding to state and local governments for the creation of bullying and gang prevention programs.
Legislation authorizes such appropriations as may be necessary, which is anticipated to be at least $40 million per year ($200 million total) for the 5 year reauthorization period.
In addition to reauthorizing juvenile justice programs, legislation clarifies how to address the occurrences of bullying through developmentally appropriate intervention and prevention techniques, which center on evidence-based models and best practices that rely on schools and communities rather than involvement from law enforcement and the justice system.
Legislation designed to help both the victims and perpetrators of bullying. Research studies have shown that approximately 25 percent of school bullies will be convicted of a criminal offense in their adult years.
H.R. 2585 also includes provisions for gang prevention programs, which will help guide our children towards socially beneficial paths.
If we want our children to learn, we must be able to maintain a safe and healthy school environment.
Although some people may dismiss bullying as a normal part of growing up, bullying can be detrimental to a child's education and development.
Each day an estimated 160,000 students in this country refuse to go to school because they fear being bullied by their peers, and many more attend school in a chronic state of anxiety and depression.
In addition, six out of ten American youth witness bullying at least once a day, and nearly 30 percent--or 5.7 million children--are involved in bullying as victims, perpetrators, or both.
1 in 7 Students in Grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying.
90% of 4th to 8th Grade Students report being victims of bullying of some type.
56% of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school.
71% of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school.
87% of youth said shootings are motivated by a desire to ``get back at those who have hurt them, and 86% said, ``other kids picking on them, making fun of them or bullying them'' causes teenagers to turn to lethal violence in the schools.
Consequences of bullying:
15% of all school absenteeism is directly related to fears of being bullied.
1 out of every 10 students who drops out of school does so because of repeated bullying.
Suicides linked to bullying are the saddest statistic.
Behind these statistics are real children and young people who suffer and hurt too often in silence. Let me tell you the heart breaking story of David Ray Ritcheson.
David Ray Ritcheson was a victim of adolescent bullying. He was 16 years of age--when he was bullied, beaten and tortured nearly to death.
David was assaulted while attending a party in Spring, Texas. He spent 3 months in a hospital as a result of his injuries and underwent more than 30 surgeries to repair his battered body.
His courage in the face of such violence was reflected in his willingness to come before Congress to tell his story.
My reaction to his courage and later death by suicide was to sponsor House Resolution to honor the life and sacrifice of David Ray Ritcheson. The Resolution told his story and expressed the importance of passing hate crime legislation; and his story also showed the violence of bullying.

I just got this today! It's well-made and very beautiful. It did take me a bit to be able to put it together, but it can only be easier with time and practice. I love how it's different than the average gold band and how it still suits my taste. Demi also included a coupon code for a future order, so I'll definitely be using that soon. Thanks!

Lovely gold ring that fits snugly on my finger. I had wanted to replace a silver ring with gold for a long time now and I finally found one that didn't cost me too much! Definitely worth the price. Thank you!

Always a jeweler
Street Bauble has only been around since 2010, but I have always been making jewelry ..... at least as long as I can remember.
My dad likes to tell the story of when I was so small I had to climb on a chair to reach the buffing wheel. I don't really remember this, but it still might actually be true.
I do remember going into his studio every day to ask:
"Daddy, what ya doing?"
"Making jewelry," he'd say.
"Can I help?"
And like the sweet father that he is he'd let me help.
That was the beginning.
Probably at first he threw away or fixed everything I made. Making jewelry is not easy. But I learned and he was patient and eventually I became good at it. Eventually making jewelry paid my way through college to get a degree in Geography and then later when the economy shut down my career job, I started my own jewelry business. Creating beautiful things is in me, it's part of me. So here I am with a jewelry business of my own, my own studio, and my own children coming in to ask to help.
And the Geographer in me delights to think of my jewelry going off on little adventures to see the world.

Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein Slow Trump Down to Make a Point Agency Founders Put a Twist on Infamous Water Bottle Moment By Ann-Christine Diaz. Published on Jul 13, 2016 Editor's Pick It's become common practice for Donald Trump opposers to turn the presumptive Republican nominee for president against himself --- by way of his various words and actions. In one ad, for example, Republican group Our Principles PAC highlighted his pejorative comments about the opposite sex by getting real women to read back his quotes, while another ad from CHIRLA Action Fund featured Latinos turning his pejorative comments about their community into a message of empowerment. Now, Goodby Silverstein & Partners founders Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein, along with agency audio engineer Nic Dematteo, have jumped into the ring with a new film that puts a twist on Trump's infamous water bottle moment in which he mocked former rival Marco Rubio. The video slows down what was already a buffoonish moment, putting in even starker relief Mr. Trump's penchant for crude gestures. Atop that is a voiceover that reads, "Our president is not an entertainer, our president is not a clown. Our president is the leader of the free world, a commander-in-chief in charge of our nuclear arsenal and the living embodiment of our national character. Be sure to vote this November. History is watching." "We wanted to put Donald Trump's antics in clear relief for all the world to see and remind them that our president is the leader of the free world, the person with a hand on the nuclear button," explained Mr. Goodby. "That person should not and cannot be Donald Trump. Just look at him." Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

Interview: Inside HP
Market share
MM: Obviously you're the leading printer manufacturer in terms of market share and have been...
VJ: All the 20 years.
MM: I could make an argument about the first couple, but okay.
VJ: Fine, 18 years.
MM: Yes, whatever happened to Centronix? But obviously in the last couple of years you've seen a number of new entries to the market, in all the segments of the marketplace. What are you seeing happening? Are you worried about them? How do you think your market share is going to hold up?
VJ: Well, it's holding up very well. In year 2003 we gained market share: on [the] ink jet side six points, on the laser jet side two to three points. In the last four months, I think I did see information saying that we have lost some market share, but mainly in the micro, low end, meaning below $49that part of the business we didn't want to pursue. I believe that it's going to stabilize. Most of Dell's market share gain has been at the cost of Lexmark's market share. If you look at the information very closely, the all-in-ones information, it's kind of interesting, fascinating actually.
MM: The Dell guys were in two days ago. They have a completely different chart.
VJ: Is that right?
MM: Yeah, they say in their chart all their market share gains have come from you and Epson. Zero, they say, from Lexmark.
VJ: That's not true.
MM: And zero from Canon.
VJ: Do you have IDG information? I can bring it to you.
MM: I haven't seen IDG information. I was just curious.
VJ: No, IDG information is very clear where the market share is coming from. I'll send it to you. Because this is not my information, this is third-party information.
MM: Well Dell has clearly gained market share because they had zero...
VJ: But think about it, there is a phenomenal difference between having Dell in the PC business [and in the] printing business. Right? There is Microsoft and Intel, which do the innovation, and then [Dell] just basically take that innovation. There is no equivalent of Microsoft/Intel in the printing industry, because you don't have a horizontal function like that. So you have people who can OEM the technology, but just for their own technology, not everybody using the same technology. So there is no way they have an advantage that way. So think about it, Dell did one million printers in the first six months and another million in the next three months, six months, whatever they say, the two million printers they did. But look at Dell's market share and you will see that actually most of it came from Lexmark. And on the laser side actually they have not made much traction. Only in all-in-ones did they get traction. So if you look at the 2003 information, IDG information, you will see our market share basically went up, and then went down a little bit in the last few months. Their market share was way high; Lexmark's went down, and Dell went up. You should ask Lexmark these questions. That would be very interesting.
MM: As a matter of fact, they were in this week too.
VJ: And what did they say?
MM: And they say that they're very happy with the relationship, things are going well.
VJ: Why didn't they choose Samsung and Kodak and Xerox? (Laughs) It's very fascinating, very fascinating. The only thing I can tell you is look at our performance, revenue performance, profitability performance for last five quarters.
MM: But do you worry about that more in the future?
VJ: No, no, no. Because maybe to have Moore's Law.... Lexmark is still using '99 technology. Even in the newest products they have '99 supplies technology. They didn't improve their technology in terms of the speed. So, they better renew it, otherwise they'll be falling behind. Also, they don't have [low-priced] color lasers. Lexmark has high-priced color lasers right now. And that's why Dell will have to go and partner with Samsung.
MM: Well, I understand that, but on the other hand there are a fair number of businesses that buy a lot of stuff from HP, including servers, a business that it wasn't in that many years ago, either.
VJ: But those are places where, as I said, Microsoft and Intel are still innovating. So I think the business model is different than printers.
MM: Let's talk about other competitors. Are you selling copiers? MFPs? What did we call them? Somewhere along the line here they've become the same product, more or less.
VJ: I think for us it's an opportunity. It's a $24 billion market and we were not playing in it. At the last Comdex you and I talked about it. We introduced our high-end copier. We got 55, 85 copies per minute. And now we introduced a color version of that also. So we believe it's an opportunity for us because we have no market share there. And copiers, it was the same way, it was a big opportunity [for our competitors]. For us it has been an incremental opportunity. The market is moving down, because as I told you, the laser jets are printing at lower and lower price points, so nobody wants to give up that control on a desktop or a workgroup printer to buy a big departmental copier or printer, but the old analog copiers are going to be replaced by copier printers. The rate at which they are attacking our business versus how we are attacking their businesses are very different.
MM: But in the enterprise [field] most of the products are workgroup products, they're not personal products.
VJ: No, no, no. A lot of people have [it] on their desktop. Because remember, below $1,000, people go and buy laser jets. If you talk to an IT manager they will tell you they don't know how many printers they have really.
MM: Is that what your management is supposed to sell?
VJ: That's what we are selling, by networking them, absolutely. I was telling you, in general, the printing environment is very different. You may need fewer printers and fewer copiers if we can help you to assess what you need. But that's where HP is now getting very active. For us it's an incremental business because we are going to replace old analog copiers with our printer-based MFPs.
MM: Of course the cost per page has gone down over time to the point where...
VJ: Basically total cost of ownership, plus the reliability and help desk. The copier people say they have lower cost per copy, but their services cost, and most of the services they offer are "break and fix." We are saying we are very reliable, you don't need to have break and fix. Our stuff is just as reliable as laser jet, and that's how we can get the total cost of operations down. I think we need to continue to grow our business in digital photography and high-end MFPs and digital publishing. That's our strategy which I laid out. It is working and we're growing, we're adding $2 billion every year, that's not shabby.
