Released on: 2007-09-28
"Easily the heaviest and most interesting album they've ever done, there's so much more going on than the warbling goth metal that they're so easily written off for. Nightwish have easily cranked the whole business up a notch." KERRANG UK – James Hoare
As four guys looking like they're fresh out of high-school and a girl in leatherpants played at the legendary rock-venue Lepakko in Helsinki, Finland, no-one could've known that one day they would be performing gigantic tours and would become the most successful band to ever come from Finland with album sales in figures with more than six digits.
From their first album of "Angels Fall First" onwards Nightwish gradually grew, or rather evolved. The youthful admirations of favourite bands might've been obvious in these first recordings, but as years went by the maturity and the unrelentless way of the group doing their own thing made Nightwish a voice that stands out. The final shackles of labeling scattered with the release of their fourth album, entitled "Century Child". It strayed more away from the more obvious references to melodic "power" metal, and showed promise of a band that was really starting to find its own sound, a band that would yet become something greater. The orchestrations and the choirs met on this album were indeed magnificent and befitting the epic feel of that Nightwish had always yearned for. But this was a mere overture to what was to become. Nightwish's 2004 album "Once" was that which broke all remaining traces of separation between people.
The album sold platinum on its release day in Finland and later in Germany, and gold in Austria, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland, and went over the magical "1 million copies sold worldwide"-limit. Everybody knew of Nightwish. Hell, even the Finnish prime minister confided as a Nightwish-fan. The first era of Nightwish ended with an open letter in which the band fired it´s formidable frontperson Tarja Turunen. Was this to be the end of Nightwish? No one knew.
People took sides, and a true circus of the media-type began. Countless of pages of Finnish magazines alone were spent on this episode, but everything that needed to be said was already public. Slowly the ruckus ended in silence, and Tuomas retreated to his own confines bringing to life what was to be the future.
And now?
We sail on darkened waters. A sea-fare is a fitting metaphore as of the four elements water is the one representing emotions. On "Dark Passion Play" the music in conjunction with the lyrics conjure a brooding atmosphere never yet seen, or actually felt, in this magnitude in the saga of Nightwish. The fables and their reflections have always portrayed a deciphered view to their creator's mind, in this case that of Tuomas Holopainen. The past years and the events leading to this day have naturally affected the outcome of this album, as it is known that Tuomas communicates best through music. And this music is filled with emotions, at times subtle – at times overwhelming.
I daresay it is this what makes Nightwish such a popular band. Excellent music is not only to be heard, it is to be felt. To be experienced. Sensitive music for sensitive people, if one was looking for a catch-phrase.
This sixth Nightwish album stands at a dividing line, separating what has been and what will become. And it stands strong; resonating the confidence of its composer. Confidence of a new time, never looking back but boldly doing whatever the heart desires. And yet again no signs of compromises shine through, the musical innocence is ever-present within these tunes.
These songs take us through multitude of emotions on their journey, and it is richer and more varied than before, touching lightly on more ethnic flavours and being as ever bombastic as it bloody well can be. The heavenly voice of Anette Olzon carries through bright and powerful – and also more varied that of her predecessor. She truly is what Nightwish's music deserves.
Despite the fact that this musical passionwork is heavy with darker atmospheres, within it still lie optimistic undertones. It tells us that even in the bleakest of times there is hope. The voyage ends safely on familiar waters. The sound of Nightwish reborn is ever-strong. Unfaltering.

Who are they?
Pleasant and sociable by nature, Finnbarr and Jeffrey are nevertheless quite reserved at first. They are sensitive and emotional souls, however they generally manage to remain in control of themselves and this just seems to make them even more charming... Bright and quick-witted, they are quickly able to grasp the essential elements of people and situations and are extremely adaptable with plenty of know-how. What´s more, they are rarely short of humour and enjoy verbal sparring matches, at which they excel. They can be terribly persuasive if they need to be and have a tendency to oscillate between two antagonistic influences; that of the number 3 (sensual, care-free and pleasure orientated) which pushes them to communicate and externalize, making them enthusiastic but also liable to squander their energy and spread themselves to thinly (especially if they were born on a 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th, in March, or if they have a life Path Number of 3); and that of the 4 (stable, sober and principled) which drives them to create and build, to persevere and challenge everything; however it can also make them inclined to pessimism (more pronounced if they were born on a 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st or if 4 is their life Path Number). They are energetic and courageous men who have a firm grasp of material reality and could reveal themselves to be shrewd business men. Of logical and rational mind, they prefer to rely on solid, tried and tested thought processes than trust in their intuition. Because they are touchy and rather vain, they are capable of violent outbursts of anger if they feel humiliated. Their behaviour can be quite contradictory due to the opposing vibrations mentioned above, and they are capable of great impatience in one area of their lives and astonishing perseverance, serenity and patience in another; alternately extroverted and introverted, generous and miserly, joyful and melancholy... Finnbarr and Jeffrey are enigmatic creatures, and this is in large part due to their nervous disposition. As children, these changing moods are even more pronounced and certain limits will definitely need to be established. They could be gifted artists so their creativity is to be encouraged, along with their aptitude to learn other languages. Drawing, dance and theatre are all suitable activities for their expressive talents, since they are generally supple and good with their hands.
What do they like?
Finnbarr and Jeffrey enjoy power, like to be in charge and are therefore quite authoritarian. They adore physical exercise, and are very concerned about their social standing, being rather materialistic chaps. When in love, they are ardently passionate, jealous, possessive and uncompromising - but undeniably themselves. Fidelity is sometimes a notion that is relative for them, but while they have plenty to say on the subject, the reality could actually be quite unexciting...
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What do they do?
If life allows them to choose, Finnbarr and Jeffrey would be likely to go for a more lucrative occupation. With this in mind, they could be attracted to a career in marketing, involving oral or written expression or a creative profession (singing, acting, dancing or handicraft...), otherwise they could find satisfaction with a business-related occupation.

Brown - a passionate believer in the UK's technological creativity and the opportunities for British companies to achieve success through exporting - will join fellow panellists who include: Professor Andre Geim, awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010 for his ground-breaking work on Graphene, a one-atom-thick material made of carbon; Professor Paul Workman, Deputy Chief Executive of the Institute of Cancer Research; Professor Mariana Mazzucato, Professor in Economics at the University of Sussex; Professor Paul Boyle, President of Science Europe, which promotes the collective interests of European research organisations and DR Beau Lotto, neuroscientist attached to University College, London's Institute of Ophthalmology.
In a tough economic climate, innovation needs to remain the lifeblood of science, technology and the economy. There is an urgent need to focus on how best to promote and nurture innovation - today and in the future.
That is why The Innovation Debate 2012 - organised and funded by Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd. - is bringing together influential and respected figures from the worlds of science, technology, medicine, education, government, industry and the media to discuss how best to encourage and nurture scientific innovation.

A question that many new gluten-free eaters ask themselves.
Do I really need to go out and buy a new toaster? Will I really get sick from crumbs?
The above questions are asked at the same time that the overwhelming feeling of what has my life become? starts to set in.
Do you have a dedicated gluten-free toaster? I do. I went out and got one the day I went gluten-free. If I was going to do this whole change my lifestyle thing, I was going to do it right. That's just the kind of person I am though. I don't half-*** anything, so I definitely wasn't going to cut any corners as I got myself healthy. No way, no how.
But, not everyone feels the way I feel. Maybe they don't get the same symptoms from gluten that I do, and see this all as a bunch of jargon that their doctor told them. Maybe they just don't want to go out and buy another appliance, or maybe they don't have the extra funds to go purchase yet another thing for this diet.
I understand where you're coming from if you're on the fence. But, that doesn't mean I don't have my own opinions regarding it all. We are all entitled to that, aren't we?? I'm pretty dead-set on the dedicated appliance thing too, so when I decided to do the below experiment, regardless of the outcome, I knew it wouldn't change my dedicated-appliance practices.
Does a non-dedicated toaster pose a serious threat?
What is GlutenTox? It is a kit that allows you to test for traces of gluten, whether it be 5ppm or 20ppm. I was given a couple kits from Emport LLC at the Celiac Awareness Tour in Cleveland.
I didn't want to test actual food though, I wanted to test something that we all can relate to. So, the first thing that popped into my head was testing the gluten-eater toaster in my household.
If I toasted gluten-free bread in the gluten toaster, would it be contaminated?
Experimentation Time
So here's what I did:
1. Read the GlutenTox directions and got everything I needed: Gluten toaster, gluten-free bread, GlutenTox testing tubes.
2. Toasted a slice of Rudi's Gluten-Free bread. Scraped as much of the top layers off as I could, which yielded one scoop of crumbs.
3. Put the bread crumbs to the test.
The Results
The test strip (which looked like a pregnancy test so I didn't post any pics online…didn't want people to get the wrong idea!) had a blue line across the middle. If a red/pink line appeared after 10 minutes, there would be traces of gluten found in the sample.
So I waited….
Ten minutes later the timer went off. What were the results?
Not going to lie, I was kind of ticked off. Had I been taking unnecessary measures the past 3 years? Are my toaster-beliefs all a lie?!
These questions were running through my head as I wondered how I would write to all of you that the test was negative, and that the gluten toaster didn't contaminate my bread. BUT, that's when I realized that there's still too many unknowns…
Did I scrape every part of the bread? Did every crumb make it into to the little test tube? If I didn't scrape some tiny little space on the bread, I would still have ended up eating it, resulting in a gluten-induced illness.
Even after analyzing the data I collected, I still wouldn't use the gluten toaster. The threat is still there. I didn't have a positive this time, but I might next time.
I don't know about you, but I don't get in bed with the Devil.
That's my opinion. What's yours?

MLB: Former New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes calls out Miami Marlins ownership
DUNEDIN, Fla. >> When Jose Reyes signed his $106 million, six-year deal with the Miami Marlins, he expected to be a long-term part of a dramatically rebuilt franchise that, on paper, looked like a World Series contender.
Turns out the prediction wasn't worth the paper the contract was written on.
The Marlins finished last in the NL East and the next month, and Reyes found himself shipped north to Toronto as part of a 12-player blockbuster trade that amounted to a major salary dump.
"I was shocked," Reyes said Friday before his first batting practice in a Blue Jays uniform, "because (Marlins owner) Jeffrey Loria, he always told me he's never going to trade me. He always called my agent and said, `Tell Jose to get a good place here to live,' and stuff like that."
Reyes had been with the New York Mets for his first eight big league seasons before signing with Miami. Four days before the Marlins sent him packing, Reyes said, he and Loria had dinner together and "he was talking still about, `Get a nice house in Miami.'
"Then I went on vacation with my wife and two days later I found out I was traded. ... That was crazy. I mean, how can you want me to spend some money in Miami when I have my house in New York and you're going to trade me in two days?"
Reyes said he feels "sorry for the fans there in Miami because they had a great fan base there. To let them down like that, I mean, that's going to be tough for them."
Reyes said he also feels for the players still with the team, mentioning outfielder Giancarlo Stanton.
"He's an unbelievable great player. Great guy. Great teammate," Reyes said. "But like I say, it is what it is. I feel sorry for him. But that's the way it is."
Stanton laughed when he heard that.
"He's talking from a personal standpoint and what happened to all of them," Stanton said.
Stanton acknowledged that other players, too, have said they feel sorry for him, "but I'm not one to say, `Hey everyone feel sorry for me.' What is there to feel sorry for me about? I'm in the big leagues. I play a game for a living."
Reyes said he hasn't spoken to Loria or any of the Marlins executives since the trade -- and he has no desire to.
"Why do I need to talk to them? If they trade me, that means they don't want me there. So I don't need to approach them and say, `Why'd you trade me?' and stuff like that. ... I don't need to see (Loria) and he don't want to see me, because he traded me."
It took a while for Reyes' shock to dissipate.
"For a couple of weeks I still couldn't believe what was going on," he said. "But by now I'm looking forward to getting on the field with my new team."
Like the 2012 Marlins, the 2013 Blue Jays appear, on paper, ready to challenge for a division title and a trip to the World Series.
"Everything that people say, it sounds good, we've got a good team, stuff like that. But it's about getting on the field," he said.
Reyes said he hopes he can spend the remaining five years on his contract with the Blue Jays. Even so, he said he's not ready to buy a house in Toronto.
NOTES: Single-game tickets for the Blue Jays' April 2 home opener against the Cleveland Indians sold out in less than an hour Friday.

"Tommy Darsey alkoi sairastella metsästysretken jälkeen maaliskuussa 2003. Hänellä todettiin korkea verenpaine ja diabetes. Hoidoista huolimatta hän tunsi olonsa aina vain huonommmaksi. Hänelle tehtiin useita testejä; EKG, EEG, MRI ja verikokeita. Kaikki testit olivat normaaleja. Heinäkuussa Tommy ei kyennyt seisomaan kaatumatta pitkään.
Tommyn vaimo, Molly, vei hänet ensiapuun. Siellä Tommylle annettiin fysioterapiaa koordinaatio-ongelmiin. Eräänä iltana Molly pyysi leikillään fysioterapeutti Ruthie Pfuelleria löytämään syyn miehensä oireisiin. Seuraavana päivänä Ruthie toi runsaasti Internetistä hakemaansa tietoa. Hänellä oli tietoa mm. Borrrelioosista ja sen oireista. Artikkelissa mainituista kahdeksasta oireesta Tommylla oli jokainen.
Silloin he muistivat metsästysretken jälkeiset oireet ja ihomuutoksen. He olivat maininneet asiasta perhelääkärilleen mutta asiaa ei huomioitu. Ruthien mainittua Borrelioosin mahdollisuudesta, he vaativat borreliatestiä. Testi oli negatiivinen ja perhelääkäri ilmoitti ettei Tommylla ole Borrelioosia. Molly kyseenalaisti tuloksen. Toinen lääkäri, neurologi, aloitti antibioottikuurin (doksisykliini) testituloksesta huolimatta.
Hoidon alussa Tommylla oli jatkuva päänsärky, hän ei kyennyt puhumaan lauseita loppuun ja hän oli lähes toimintakyvytön. Vaihdoimme neurologia, mutta oireiden syystä ei saatu täyttä varmuutta vieläkään. Tommy alkoi voida paremmin lokakuun lopulla ja antibiootti lopetettiin. Tammikuussa oireet kuitenkin palasivat. Tommy joutui sairaalaan ja uusia testejä tehtiin. Borreliatesti oli jälleen negatiivinen. Silloin hänen kerrottiin kärsivän kemiallisesta epätasapainosta - eräänlaisesta masennuksesta. Paikalle kutsuttiin psykologi. Tommy katsoi minua ja sanoi, että hän ei ole hullu.
Samoihin aikoihin naapurin tytär joka sairasti kroonista väsymysoireyhtymää, meni tapaamaan Houstonilaista lääkäriä. Tytön todettiin sairastavan Borrelioosia. Tauti oli ollut hänellä jo 10v. Maaliskuussa Tommy meni tapaamaan samaa lääkäriä. Tämä sanoi että negatiiviset borreliatestit eivät kerro mitään siitä onko elimistössä borrelia-bakteereita vai ei.Tommylle tehtiin jälleen uusi testi ja se oli tälläkin kerralla negatiivinen. Testi lähetettiin samaan aikaan myös Palo Alton laboratorioon. Siellä tulos oli positiivinen.
Tommylle laitettiin keskuslaskimokatetri ja hänelle aloitettiin suonensisäinen antibiootti Rocephalin. Hoitoa jatketaan 8 - 12 kk. Tommyn tila alkoi paranemaan hitaasti. Molly ja Tommy ovat iloisia siitä että viimeinkin tietävät mikä oireet aiheuttaa. Elämämme on ollut yhtämittaista vuoristorataa."
Man copes with Lyme disease (diabetes, depression, high blood pressure)
http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/articl ... news08.txt
Man copes with Lyme disease
By DEANNA PAWLOWSKI/Daily Sun Staff
Tommy Darsey has been sick for over a year.
Right after a deer hunting trip to Hico with his son, Darsey began to feel
ill in March 2003. Darsey and wife Molly had moved to Richland Chambers
Reservoir about four years ago from Fort Worth, but continued to operate
their Dallas-based business from home.
When Tommy began experiencing flu-like symptoms, Molly took him to his
family practitioner, who did a blood work-up.
"They knew he had high blood pressure," Molly said. "But they didn't find
out until May about his diabetes."
While his high blood pressure and diabetes were being treated with
medication, Darsey continued to feel worse.
"The last Monday in June, he was so sick -- it was like someone had slipped
him a drug," Molly said.
The family practitioner then sent Darsey to a neurologist, who ordered a
battery of tests, which included an EEG, EKG, MRI and blood work. None of
the tests showed anything out of the ordinary.
"Tommy couldn't function through July," Molly said. "He would stand up and
fall down -- I couldn't leave him at all."
Molly took Tommy to the emergency room in Duncanville, and they prescribed a
physical therapist to come to their home and help Tommy with his walking.
That's when they met Ruthie Pfueller.
A physical therapist at that time with Vital Signs, Pfueller asked many
questions about Tommy's symptoms, and wondered why he had strength, but no
"I popped off one night and told Ruthie to go home that evening and find out
what was wrong with him," Molly said. "I was just kidding -- but the next
day, Ruthie came in with tons of stuff from the Internet. She had
information about Lyme disease, and they listed eight symptoms. Tommy had
every one."
Looking back, they recalled the hunting trip in Hico, where Darsey noticed a
tick on his thigh while cleaning a deer. When the bull's-eye rash appeared,
he was not alarmed. And though they told the doctors about the tick and the
rash -- none of them reacted.
After Ruthie mentioned Lyme disease, the Darseys contacted their family
practitioner again, requesting a Lyme test. They were told by the doctor
that there are "tons of tests" for Lyme disease, and that many produce false
negative results.
The neurologist sent Tommy to an infectious disease specialist, who read the
test. When the doctor reported that Darsey did not have Lyme disease, Molly
questioned whether they should run another test.
"At that time, the neurologist put him on doxycycline -- even though he
didn't have a positive test result," Molly said. "It is a medication used to
treat Lyme disease."
At this time, Tommy had constant headaches, was acting "goofy," had
difficulty finishing a sentence or keeping a train of thought, and was
generally unable to function.
"We switched neurologists at that point, had all the reports faxed to the
new guy, and still couldn't find anything," she said.
Darsey began to improve in late October, and finished his round of
doxycycline about the same time. In late January, Darsey began acting
strangely again, as well as falling down a lot. He was then put in a
hospital in Fort Worth for two days, where more tests were run. Once again,
an infectious disease doctor was requested, along with a Lyme disease test.
The test still came back negative.
"That is when they said it must be a chemical imbalance -- a form of
depression," Molly said. "And they ordered a psychologist to evaluate him in
May of this year. We got in the car, Tommy looked at me, and swore he was
not crazy."
During this time, their neighbor's daughter, who suffered from chronic
fatigue syndrome for years, went to a doctor in Houston. There, it was
determined that she had Lyme disease, and that she had had it for 10 years.
Another acquaintance of the Darsey's went to the same doctor in Houston as
the neighbor's daughter.
"I got him in March 12 with the doctor in Houston," Molly said. "She looked
at all the test results from Fort Worth, but said the Lyme test done there
wouldn't show anything."
Grasping at straws, Molly had a friend on a trip to Mexico, where they met
someone with Lyme disease who had been successfully treated. Molly was
advised to contact a pharmacist named "Mitch" in California, who told Molly
they needed a specific test -- Western Blot IgG/IgM at IGeneX Labs in Palo
Alto, CA. This was the same test ordered by the Houston doctor.
"The test done in-house came back negative," Molly said. We had another test
sent to the Palo Alto lab, and in the meantime, they put him on a stronger
medication called Rocephin."
An April 9 trip to the Houston doctor revealed the results from the Palo
Alto lab, which were that Darsey was afflicted with Lyme disease. The type
of Lyme disease Darsey has is neurological, and if treated in time, the
damage and symptoms are reversible. If not treated in time, the damage is
often permanent.
"He got worse before he got better," she said. "He got an IV mainline to put
the meds in directly, and will need eight to 12 months of treatment.
"We wouldn't have kept pursuing it if it weren't for Ruthie," Molly said.
"So many doctors misdiagnosed him."
A report in the May 7, 2004 issue of USA Today said this year may see a
relatively large amount of ticks, which are the carriers of Lyme disease.
"The incidence of Lyme disease jumped 40% from 2001 to 2002 and reached an
all-time high of 23,763 cases," the report said.
"The disease, which was first identified in Lyme, Conn. in 1977, can occur
year-round. But it is most common from May through August, when the
speck-size deer ticks that carry it are abundant. Typically, the bite of an
infected tick causes a characteristic bull's-eye rash that appears a week or
two after the bite, along with flu-like symptoms, such as fever, fatigue,
headache and achiness in muscles and joints."
Molly Darsey said her husband is recovering slowly, but they are relieved to
finally know what is wrong.
"It's a roller-coaster ride they said he would be on," she said. "We just
have to get him well, and we're close. He has been on meds for two and a
half months, but could be on them for months longer."

Roger Hedgecock: Time for real immigration reform
President Obama wants Congress to overhaul immigration law. He's right.
The problem is there's a political stalemate over our dysfunctional immigration system. There has been since the failure of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act.
Back then, with fewer than 2 million unauthorized immigrants, a three-point law made sense.
Amnesty those here, control the border to prevent further illegal immigration, and sanction employers who hired illegal immigrants. Problem solved.
Sadly, after 1986 we got the amnesty but the border remained open and employers were never sanctioned for hiring illegal immigrants.
The result was a flood of illegal immigrants estimated today to number between 11 and 15 million.
In 2007, the McCain/Kennedy immigration "reform" bill was endorsed by many Democrat and Republican senators and was strongly endorsed by President George Bush.
The McCain/Kennedy bill was a transparent repeat of the mistakes of the 1986 immigration reform. Amnesty would certainly happen, but border security and requiring employers to hire only citizens and legal migrants would not.
That year, I helped organize opposition to the bill.
I led 42 radio talk show hosts from around the country. We broadcast from Washington, D.C., and mobilized tens of thousands of listeners to overwhelm the Capitol Hill phone system and fill the email in-boxes of congressmembers and their staffs urging a no vote.
The Bush White House was confident of victory. One official told me "see you at the bill signing ceremony". When it came to the floor, the bill was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 34-61.
But since then the problem has gotten worse. Our immigration law is riddled with bad policy.
For example, a yearly worldwide lottery grants a U.S. visa to lucky foreigners who would never qualify under any rational criteria for issuing visas. "Family reunification" has resulted in one legal immigrant bringing in dozens of relatives, however distant in relation.
"Refugees" are too often more dangerous to the U.S. than in danger in their home country. "Students" get visas to study in the U.S. and may never enter a classroom. Several of the 9/11 hijackers had "student" visas.
Too many immigrants get Social Security disability checks without ever contributing a dime and (despite legal prohibitions) wind up on multiple welfare programs.
Our immigration laws have lost the common sense they had when my maternal grandmother came in steerage on a freighter from Italy to New York.
Landing on Ellis Island, she was checked for disease, fingerprinted, had to name a sponsor who would be responsible for her behavior, and had to promise not to become a "public charge" (i.e. not on welfare).
In an afternoon, she was found fit to immigrate to the U.S. and was admitted. Within a year, she was married, working, and had started a family.
What happened to that common sense immigration law? It has been replaced over the years by a labyrinth of legal dysfunction.
So, how to break the stalemate? Here are a few ideas (taken from both Democrat and Republican sources) that would produce real immigration reform.
Future legal immigration should be based on merit. No more lottery winners, deadbeats or jihadis.
Illegal immigrants who are already here should be encouraged to apply for legal status, including citizenship, which should be granted if they are employed, pay their taxes, are not a "public charge" and have no criminal record.
Those who meet the criteria – welcome. Those who don't or won't – go home.
And it's way past time to close the door on future illegal immigration.
Federal law currently requires that only citizens or noncitizens with work visas can be employed in the United States.
Employers should be required to use E-Verify, a federal database that allows employers to instantly check whether the name and Social Security number of the employee or job applicant match.
Too many illegal immigrants today are using fake Social Security cards with stolen identities to get hired here.
The president wants E-Verify for new hires. Good, but not good enough.
E-Verify should be applied to all workers and job applicants, especially now during high unemployment to make sure only those legally entitled to work in the U.S. get jobs.
These are just a few ideas. The important point is that our immigration law is broken. It neither protects the immigrant nor the country.
This is the year that the president and our dysfunctional Congress (reportedly less popular than cockroaches and colonoscopies) must enact real immigration reform, not a rehash of the 1986 failure.

Schneeberger manufacture a specialist range of tooling for customers across a broad range of sectors, from construction to solar power.
They've now chosen two MasterMover MT2000+ electric tugs to move large and heavy die tool mouldings weighing up to 20,000 kg throughout the production area, across various locations on site.
Previously the moulding, on a trolley, was pulled by a forklift and the MT2000+'s were introduced to replace this method. Using a forklift was often difficult for employees due to the challenges of manoeuvring through tight spaces and a lack of visibility.
MasterMover's Czech Republic dealer, SELS, supported the installation with two heavy duty trolleys, each capable of moving 20,000 kg.
These enable greater mobility in moving the tooling across the site and provide a stronger option than the pallets used before.
The MT2000+s make a two-tug movement, allowing complete control of load and precision movement for tight and compact spaces.
This enables the users to push, pull and steer wheeled loads both indoors and outdoors, allowing full control throughout the production areas, going around corners, down tight corridors, and through narrow doorways.

Only seven years later, the Bearcats (0-0) and Panthers (0-1) are playing the final game in the series, with the trophy - a 96-pound replica of a riverboat telegraph - up for permanent ownership. The schools open the Big East season on Thursday night at Nippert Stadium in a game that represents the beginning of the end for the conference as it's currently configured.
West Virginia has already left for the Big 12. Pitt and Syracuse are playing their final seasons before moving on to the ACC. The league will then take on more of a national look by adding teams from the South and the West Coast.
Unlike the league, that trophy won't be going anywhere after Thursday night.
"Being their last year here, there's a little something extra, especially since it's the last game, the finale," Cincinnati offensive guard Austen Bujnoch said. "That trophy stays with whoever the winner is."
After Thursday, the league will lose one of its best matchups.
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have longstanding rivalries in baseball (Reds and Pirates) and the NFL (Bengals and Steelers). They gave the Big East one of its greatest games in 2009, when the Bearcats and Panthers played a de facto league title game in the snow in Pittsburgh.
Cincinnati fell behind by 21 points, but receiver Mardy Gilyard rallied the Bearcats back. Tony Pike's 29-yard touchdown pass to Armon Binns with 33 seconds left gave Cincinnati a 45-44 win and a spot in the Sugar Bowl.
"That's probably the best game I've ever played in," said Binns, now a Bengals receiver. "It's such a great rivalry. Both teams love playing against each other. They really get up to play, and the games always seem to be special and come down to the last moments."
Cincinnati has won three of the last four, getting to keep the 46-inch-tall trophy that represents the device used to signal the engine room on a boat.
"I liked the trophy," Binns said on Wednesday. "It's huge. I can't carry it by myself. We always enjoyed it after we won."
The rematch finds the Panthers already soul-searching while the Bearcats are trying to figure out what they've got.
Pitt opened under new coach Paul Chryst on Saturday and was stunned by Youngstown State 31-17. The Football Championship Subdivision school never trailed as it beat a BCS team for the first time.
The Panthers had only a few days to get past the sting and get ready for Cincinnati.
"It's a short week, but a great challenge," Chryst said. "Certainly it will be good to get back to playing on Thursday night. We're turning the page here and we've got to learn many lessons from the Youngstown State game and get better in a short time here."
For the Panthers, it will be the start of their last Big East season.
"This is my last go-around, so all of these games are important to me, especially the ones in the Big East," senior center Ryan Turnley said. "So, it's a great opportunity for me."
The Bearcats have a very different team from the one that won a share of the league title last season, the third time in four years that they've won at least part of the championship. Munchie Legaux takes over for Zach Collaros at quarterback, and the Bearcats are using a running back-by-committee approach to try to replace Isaiah Pead.
Cincinnati has only four returning starters on offense, so there's no telling how it's going to look the first time out.
"The first game is uncertainty," coach Butch Jones said. "It's the unknowns. You try to prepare for everything, but you never really know until the lights come on."
The biggest questions revolve around Legaux, who started three games last season as a sophomore while Collaros recovered from a broken ankle.
"There's a difference between being a backup quarterback and being the starting quarterback," Jones said. "There's a lot of burdens and challenges, and I think those will be growing pains. But I think Munchie has done a great job with that to date."
Legaux has calmed down from last year, when he struggled in his first game as a starter.
"I was real nervous going into that game," Legaux said. "I'm a little nervous now, but after that first snap I'll be all right. On Thursday night, I'll be nervous (only) on the first play."
When it ends, the two schools will go separate ways in football. There have been no discussions so far about continuing the brief but impressive rivalry.
"I do think it's developed into one of the best rivalries for us," Jones said. "At some point, I'd like to see that resume. But as of right now, all we know is this is the last time we'll be playing Pittsburgh for a while."

During the 1990's New York State's Office of Children and Family Services (Office) permitted multiple family and group family day care programs to operate in a single residence.

However, in 2003, regulations were changed, prohibiting more than one program from operating in a single residence.

It's the UCI Road World Championships this week, with Mark Cavendish looking for glory in Sunday's race. In anticipation of that, here are the finest cycling movies of all time in no particular order...
Breaking Away (1979)
Small-town boys versus college jerks, a cyclist obsessed with Italians, and some of the best fictional road-bike action ever committed to film. It'll make you want to find an old Masi Gran Criterium, chase lorries and start talking Italian. "Ciao, Papa!"
A Sunday In Hell (1976)
Jørgen Leth's stunning follow-up to 1974's The Stars and the Water Carriers is a documentary about the 1976 Paris-Roubaix, one of the cycling calendar's legendary fixtures. Leth captures the drama, heartbreak and torturous conditions alongside an atmospheric score. Most of road-racing's '70s elite are present and correct, but if you're looking for a demonstration of the all-conquering Eddy Merckx at his locomotive best, Leth's earlier film will appeal more.
American Flyers (1985)
Although Kevin Costner's moustache is the undoubted star of the show, the cycling action comes a worthy second. Brothers David and Marcus (Costner) do some bonding by competing together in a road race through the Rockies. If you're turned on by such things, Rae Dawn Chong's super-fast wheel change is another highlight, as is a fleeting appearance by racing legend Eddy Merckx.
Les Triplettes de Belville (2003)
A French cartoon comedy with no dialogue? Er… Quelle surprise, this is utterly charming and engrossing. A young boy, brought up by his grandmother to race in the Tour de France, is kidnapped partway through the race. Granny and her dog enlist the help of a trio of old-time entertainers to track him down. Far more bonkers than it sounds.
2 Seconds (1998)
Professional mountain biker Laurie gets fired from her team and becomes a cycle courier. This being a French Canadian movie, you'll have to put up with subtitles – but the quirky story is well worth paying attention to, and there's plenty of cycling action to fill the rest of the time.

West leads Pacers past Kings 97-92
David West had 31 points and 11 rebounds to help the Indiana Pacers edge the Sacramento Kings 97-92 on Friday night.
West was 13 for 20 from the field and 5 for 7 at the line in his season-best scoring performance. He is averaging 23 points over the last five games, four of them Indiana victories.
George Hill had 25 points, eight assists and six rebounds for the Pacers, and reserve Sam Young scored 12.
DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 16 rebounds for the Kings (4-11), who have dropped two in a row and own the worst record in the Western Conference. Marcus Thornton scored 15 points, and reserves Jimmer Fredette and Francisco Garcia each had 12.
Thornton missed a long 3-pointer that would have tied it with 5 seconds left. Hill secured the rebound and was fouled. He made both free throws with 2.9 seconds left, giving Indiana a 97-92 lead.
Sacramento used Thornton's two free throws to pull within two with 11.5 seconds left. After a timeout, Hill was fouled on the inbounds play and made one of two foul shots for a 95-92 lead.
The Kings played without Tyreke Evans, their leading scorer over the past five games. Evans, who leads the team in assists and is the second-leading scorer, missed his first game of the season due to a bruised left knee.
Cousins tried to rally Sacramento to a victory. He hit four straight free throws and John Salmons added two more, trimming Indiana's lead to 88-84 with 3:04 left.
The Pacers responded with six straight points. West scored, Young made a corner jumper, and West followed with a 15-footer to make it 94-88 with 56 seconds remaining.
West scored 15 in the first half to help Indiana take a narrow 43-40 lead into the break. Using a variety of moves in the paint, he added 10 more points and five rebounds in the third quarter.
The Kings used consecutive 3s from Thornton and Brooks, followed by a Cousins basket, to grab a 61-58 lead midway through the period. Following a timeout, West had a three-point play and DJ Augustine made a corner 3 to give the Pacers a 64-61 advantage.
Indiana led by five after three, and Hill and Young connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to extend the advantage to 80-71 at the 8:29 mark in the fourth.
NOTES: The Kings missed 14 of their first 17 shots. Fredette came in and scored six points in the final 36 seconds to get the Kings within three at 20-17 heading into the second quarter. . Receiving some rare playing time, Garcia made his first two shots and scored nine points in the second quarter. He entered the game shooting 23 percent (4 of 17). . Roy Hibbert played strong defense on Cousins in the opening half. The Kings center missed 7 of 10 shots, many of them on contested drives to the basket. Cousins was 5 for 17 for the game.

Former Tunisian president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali has denied all charges against him on the eve of his trial in absentia. Mr. Ben Ali's lawyer said Sunday the former president hopes Tunisia will overcome its "chaos."
Six months after massive popular protests ousted Ben Ali, the North African country is bringing him to trial - but in absentia. Many Tunisians feel the event will help bring closure to a bitter past.
Tunisian authorities say both a civilian and military court will hear the case against Ben Ali, which begins on Monday. But he, in exile in Saudi Arabia, will not be present for the trial's opening. Saudi authorities have not responded to Tunisia's extradition request.
Ben Ali faces dozens of charges, including conspiring against the state, voluntary manslaughter and drug trafficking. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to years in prison. One of Ben Ali's lawyers told the Associated Press the ex-president will plead not guilty.
The former strongman held power for 23 years before fleeing to Saudi Arabia in January, in the wake of a massive, popular uprising. Now, human rights advocates like Mokhtar Trifi, president of the Tunisian Human Rights League, lament Ben Ali's absence at the trial.
Trifi says it is too bad Ben Ali will not be present in court to face the accusations, although he welcomes the legal proceedings against the former president. He says he hopes the United States and other foreign powers will pressure Saudi Arabia to extradite him.
Many Tunisians believe Ben Ali and his extended clan improperly amassed vast fortunes. During the January uprising, protesters ransacked and set fire to dozens of their businesses and luxurious villas.
Although calm has returned to much of Tunisia, there is still unrest in parts of the country. Soldiers and the occasional tank can still be seen patrolling the capital, Tunis. The country is now preparing for October elections for a constituent assembly, tasked to write a new constitution and prepare for legislative and presidential elections.
Thirty-year-old Moiz Rezgui is happy Ben Ali will be brought to trial -- whether the ex-president is present or not. He says the fact Ben Ali will face justice for his deeds will satisfy the Tunisian public.
Noureddine Hamila, a member of Tunisia's Progressive Democratic Party, remembers being beaten and harassed during Ben Ali's era. Hamila also says he would have preferred for Ben Ali to be present at the trial. But he says the trial is part of the past - and Tunisia must now light the way to its future.
