| Know Your Antiques—Collecting American Antique Toys

Prior to 1840, virtually all American toys were handcrafted. Examples of these early amusements include sock dolls, wooden jointed dolls, and whittled toys. Commercial tin toy production revolutionized the toy industry, beginning in earnest circa 1840 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Francis, Field and Francis (1838ca. 1860), or the Philadelphia Tin Toy Manufactory, created a line of handcrafted and colorfully painted tin toyssuch as trackless pull locomotives, carriages, and horse-drawn cartsas an offshoot of their existing product line of tin tablewares. Made of thin, tin-plated sheet steel, many of these toys resembled early tin toleware, with a dark ground and red, yellow, and green painted highlights. Shortly thereafter, other manufacturers, mainly in Connecticut (Fig. 1) and New York City, started producing tin toys, mostly stamped tin animals designed for pulling on four-wheeled bases, or horse and buggies.
With the Industrial Revolutions advances in manufacturing, many hardware foundries turned to the production of cast-iron toys and banks to increase their revenue. Available primarily after the Civil War in shops and through catalogues, these new playthings presented consumers with a wider range of toys than was previously available. Both tin and cast-iron toys, however, tended to be expensive, and typically only the more affluent Victorian families could afford such extravagances. The emerging middle class of consumers also sought toys for their children, and advances in printing and lithography made many toys, games, and books available to an eager population.

Most Victorian-era toys mirrored events in daily life, reinforcing defined gender roles. Girls learned about motherhood and domesticity from their dolls and tea sets while boys gained experience for their roles as providers and leaders with sporting equipment, automotives, and military toys. Many toys served a dual purpose of providing amusement and teaching important values. For instance, mechanical banks such as the Trick Pony (Fig. 2) performed various stunts as a means of depositing pennies while serving as an instrument by which Victorian-era parents could teach the virtues of industry and thrift. Although toys often had underlying instructional themes, Victorian parents also encouraged children to use their imaginations in playmimicking a fire pumper racing through the streets, for example, with a new Pratt & Letchworth pumper complete with a toy firemanan expanded outlook on childhood from preceding generations of parents who focused on the educational aspects of play.
Antique toys should not be considered collectibles, but should instead be recognized as fine crafted objects created by skilled designers and artisans of the nineteenth century. The hallmark of quality associated with these toys is evident in their durability, meticulously painted details and range of colors, and creativity. Their workmanship and styling make antique toys suitable accents to any collectors home, whether placed on a sleek, ultramodern shelving unit or on a Philadelphia Chippendale dressing table. Displaying old toys on antique furniture enhances both the furniture and toys.

Antique toy collecting can be an expensive proposition. A rare and finely preserved horse-drawn Tally Ho (Fig. 3) by Carpenter of Port Chester, New York, set a record when it sold for $66,300quite a bit higher than the $4.98 wholesale price listed in an 1892 catalogue. Nevertheless, many beautiful antique toys can be found in the $500 to $1,500 price range. When collecting, it is important to remember that condition is probably the main factor affecting the value of an antique toy. Repaired or repainted toys, or those with missing or broken parts, are worth a fraction of the same toy in excellent, original condition. Two other factors that typically affect the value of an antique toy are rarity and aesthetics. Remember that even if a toy is rare, its value may depend on a pleasing design.
The market for antique toys is currently very strong, with private sale and auction results continuing to increase.
Among the most popular antique toys are mechanical banks, in part because of their animated movements; cast-iron automotives and horse-drawn toys are also favored. The toy collector can choose to focus on many different aspects of the field. Some people seek the toys of a particular maker, while others choose to broaden a collection by purchasing various types of American toys from different eras and manufacturers. No matter what kind of collection you decide to assemble, toys are as timeless today as when they were first made. The fun and enjoyment is in searching for a fresh find, meeting other passionate collectors, learning about history, and reconnecting with the simplicities and pleasures of childhood.

The Grey
This survival/horror movie is quickly summarized: A group of oil workers take a plane, it crashes, seven workers survive the crash, but are hunted by a (seemingly enormous) pack of wolves. Easy enough to follow.
To me, this was a good, but not really a mind-blowing movie. There weren't a lot of enticing scenes that captivated me in their profundity, but maybe that wasn't what the makers were trying to do here. I mean, you can easily say this was a basic survival movie meant to scare the audience, and it did gave me a few thrills now and then. The way those wolves crawled up on the survivors was sometimes very unexpected and made me jump ten feet high. Joe Carnahan really succeeded in taking a relatively 'safe' moment where you don't expect anything to happen (e.g. in the camp of the survivors), and literally throw a wolf in there. That's what made this movie worth watching after all.
The reason I didn't really fall off my chair with awe for this movie is twofold.
First of all, there were a lot of scenes where the storyline was 'deepened' with emotional flashbacks and tales from the past. Many of these scenes seemed to me like they were put in there not for their content, but to create these 'safe' moments, as I said before. The emphasis was more on the scaring instead of the emotional ecstasy. Mind you, not all of these scenes were dull (e.g.: when they leave Diaz behind, or the poem that runs through the whole movie.).
Secondly, the wolves. Now I don't know much about wolves, and I have no doubt they are smart animals, but those wolves were extremely smart. Closing in like an attack squadron, flanking the survivors, almost 'talking' to eachother, or holding a mexican stand-off with the survivors... It all seemed a bit unrealistic.
A few things I want to mention that i did really like:
There was the acting of Liam Neeson. That guy almost exudes a sense of calmth. This calmth is nicely captured by Carnahan on several occasions, like in the beginning, when a guy dies because of the planecrash.
Also, there are a few scenes where the viewer is taken into the dream of Ottway, and then pulled back into reality quite brutally. Approved.
To conclude: a movie that definitely will give you a few thrills, with some nice elements, but nothing more than that.

I was searching for information on the death of musician Bill East. I couldn't find anything, but I came across this obituary, which I like:
EAST, Nannie
Nannie East was born April 5, 1925,in Coeburn, VA. She went home to be with her maker on July 11, 2009, after an illness in the hospital. Her family was at her bedside. Nannie spent many years in Warriormine, WV, serving her community and cooking for Big Creek High School. Nannie was always willing to help others and she loved to serve her family and community. She enjoyed baking and cooking for many organizations in her hometown. I am sure when you mention her name she will be remembered for her rolls and peanut butter cakes. Nannie really loved her job at the school and when she got ready to retire after 40 years of service, Big Creek dedicated the cafeteria in her honor. She lived in WV for many years with her husband, William Bill East. They had two daughters, Billie and Dorothy. Billie married Coburn Kennedy and they have two children. Dorothy married Boyd Rutherford. They also have two children. Nannie moved to Mt. Juliet, TN with Billie and her family where many loving memories were made. She was a member of the Mt. Juliet Church of God. She is now in Heaven with all its beauty where she will forever serve her Lord and Savior. Gloryland is sweeter with her there. She will be greatly missed here, but never forgotten by those who knew and loved her. Nannie is survived by her sister, Charolette Williams, two daughters and two sons-in-law, four grandchildren and their spouses, two great-grandchildren and one more on the way. There is also a host of family, friends and a loving neighbor. Nannie was preceded in death by her husband, mother, grandparents, two brothers and one sister. Her final resting place will be Grandview Memory Gardens in Bluefield, VA. A private service for the family was held. Go rest high on that mountain, your work on earth is done.

pain and
pleasure are strains
in the tightly intertwined rope
making up this world of opposites,
no one without the other.
a rope that binds the illusion identity,
(whose true nature remains ever free)
to the addictive excitement game
of loss and gain,
attraction, rejection, joy of winning,
and pain.
in darkness, the light of truth hidden
by storm clouds of ignorant fears and desires
this rope appears to be a scary snake,
frightening to the core the gullible,
who identify self with a form and a name.
but when understanding dawns
illuminating the heart with grace
all distinctions and separations cease.
the rope of illusion is burnt to ashes.
the obvious is always self evident
how can the boundless be bound?
timeless truth was never lost. so
how can it ever be found?
~ ~ ~
Good poem. Although the timeless truth
was never lost, it can be recognized
for what it is, rather than, as previously,
taken for what it is not.
Thus this recognition is not considered
a gain, but rather a loss, ajnana nivritti,
the removal of ignorance (of what the truth
of my present experience actually is.)
If I see the rope as a snake and react
in fear, then when some kind friend,
takes me by the hand and shines
a light on that rope, so that I
see what it truly is, I don't
gain a new experience, but rather
I loose my ignorance of what the
rope is, of what my actual experience,
which I had interpreted so incorrectly,
truly is.
I find in talking to people this is the most difficult
thing for them to get. We are all so experience
oriented, looking for new, better, bigger,
more fantastic, flashy experiences as a way
of finding happiness. And because the recognition of
the truth is reputed to be the best possible 'experience,'
one then thinks that this recognition is some really
'out there' big experience, bigger than one has ever
had before.
Because we are all familiar with pleasant mental
experiences, and because sometimes when we
are meditating, or in a quiet space, or in some
'satsang' setting, and we feel calm and peaceful
and happy, or we feel ecstatic and blissful, and
because we have heard descriptions like that,
and even received various encouragements
from 'teachers' who themselves are confused,
we think, "Oh this 'experience' this pleasant,
or blissful experience has got to be 'it.' "
Then, of course, because this is an experience, and
like all experiences temporary in nature, when we
loose that blissful state, we think we've 'lost it,'
and then we have to go 'find it,' or repeat
that experience again.
So, IMO, this is a big problem, and one that is
very difficult for people to understand.
Experience seeking is natural. It's all we know
how to do, until and unless we come to understand
that experiences (no matter how profound or
blissful) come and go, but the truth, which is
ever present, and totally accessible here and
now, does not come and go. It cannot.
So, if one has an experience, and it goes, then
my advice would be to try and find out, who is
it this experience occurred to? Is there
'someone' always there? That's the first step,
the first question, in atma vichara, (inquiry
into the nature of the self.)
Always I am
Always I shine (from Advaita Makaranda [the Nectar of Nonduality])
Orva Schrock sent this oldy but goody:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Much as one hates to agree with Harriet Harman, in this case she is 100% right.
Politicians have one attribute which business-people have tapped into for years – vanity and an over-amplified sense of self-importance.
In common with many politicians before him, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt fell in love with the idea of rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Murdochs.
He has to go. Soon.

I prefer JCS...especially the BBC film version. Godspell is just folk-song for my taste. Plus I like the interesting approach to Judas in JCS. I hated the 70's film version of JCS.
I really don't like the BBC version, mostly because Judas is played as the comic relief.
i must be thinking of a differetn version then.

Relatively new to the makeup scene (I think the line launched around May 2012), I can't say the imagery/descriptions of the Liz Earle range really caught my attention and instead its been more of a slow burner whereby I've picked up bits and pieces here and there.
As you'd expect
from the Liz Earle brand the colour palette is very much about natural,
east to wear shades. I think they have priced themselves well (mid-end,
similar to MAC pricing). Packaging is functional and simplistic.
The shadows (£13.50 each) tend to have a matte or slightly shimmery
finish. The shimmers have a soft, creamy feel and better pigment,
whereas I find the mattes dryer in feel and less pigmented however both
finishes apply and blend well.
Golden sand is a warm yellowed beige with slight shimmer, it makes a
nice lid wash for a clean, refreshed look. I think this would work best on
those who suit warmer toned shades.
Taupe is a matte cool toned taupe. I
actually think very few brands can produce actual cool toned matte taupes, so this is a
great find.
Signature Lip Colour in Azalea (£14) is a soft coral. The lipstick feels
quite balm like and is comfortable.
The Blend & Contour Brush (£12.50) has a soft long sculpted head. It
picks up just the right amount of colour and blends in extremely well
with a delicate touch so as not to displace product. The brush has a
tendency to fluff out quite a bit after washing so its worth re-shaping
when wet.
Though the range doesn't give me that giddy glee like some of my favourite brands, I do think it has definite merits and I will continue to
purchase more from the line. Overall quality is good and the colours
and ease of application make this a very no fuss, mistake proof,
flattering range.
I bought these from johnlewis.com

I am pleasantly suprised by LE makeup, I especially like the foundation and the concealer which has remarkable staying power under the eyes. My problem is that it just doesn't make its way into my general useage enough. Thanks Clare, you have reminded me to explore this range a bit more.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jan,Delete
It does have some great items, I really like the mascara as well as these, I'm going to try the powder blushes next, I do like to work my way through a line :) x
this look beautiful !ReplyDelete
its nice to buy solid basics once in a while :)Replies
Yes, your right, I get the feeling there will be quite a few things from this line that I end up using all the time :)Delete

Parked discreetly at a gate inside JFK Airport's terminal 5 sits one of the newest additions to the JetBlue Airways fleet. An Airbus A321 that's not only right from the factory but donning a design unlike anything that JetBlue has ever offered.
That's thanks to the introduction of Mint, the New York-based carrier's first-ever attempt at a premium product. Call it JetBlue's take on business class.
"It is stylish service minus all of the stuffiness often associated with the traditional front-of-the-cabin experience," said JetBlue CEO Dave Barger in a statement when the service was first announced in September.
Now his vision for that concept is a reality. Come Sunday, the swanky new service will debut on cross-country flights between New York and Los Angeles. Later this year, flights between New York and San Francisco will also include the service.
It's the first time JetBlue, perhaps best-known for carting North Easterners to Florida and the Caribbean, has ever peddled a second tier of service on its planes. Until now, the egalitarian carrier has always offered a single cabin, equipped only with the option for more spacious seats at an additional fee.

Dining Room / June 21, 2018 / Francis Raoul
Continue Reading
Choose a round pedestal table and armless dining chairs to visually enhance a space. Keep the focus off your diminutive quarters and draw attention to unique details in a small dining room. Use a sugary palette of pale pastels to keep the subtle colour even across a compact room. Make your dining area the star of the show by painting a circular design on the wall to define a zone.
Visually expand a small dining room by using a monochromatic palette. Keep the walls and floor clutter-free and minimal, letting the personality come in the form of cleverly designed furniture. Purchase a round table with chairs that can be tucked in when not in use. There are no corner legs to wiggle around and it can be moved about easily when needed. Before buying, consider what size table your space will accommodate, your ideal size (circular or oval) and which material will best complement your current scheme. Ease of use is important, too, and do think about what you'll do with seating when it's not being used – fold-up or stacking chairs are great options.

Our 'What Should I Do?' guide has steps to cook, see & stay warm in times of power outage
India Explores Economic Opportunities in Iran, Denting Western Sanctions Plan (jdargis)
It was unclear whether Mr. Rompuy knew at the time of the interview that India's commerce secretary, Rahul Khullar, was about to announce a big economic push into Iran that could serve to counteract the effects of the very sanctions Mr. Rompuy has helped to promote.
Papademos Gets Cabinet Approval for 2nd Bailout (jdargis)
"The social cost this program implies will be limited compared to the economic and social catastrophe that would follow if we don't adopt it," Papademos told his ministers earlier, according to an e-mailed transcript of his comments. "The completion of the program and financial support will cement our country's future in the euro area."
So What SHOULD Investors Buy In A World Fraught With Risk? (David B.)
You could chase junk bonds because they offer higher yields. But that means you're taking on significant credit risk. You could buy emerging-market bonds, also because of their higher interest rates. But then you're taking on the risk that those countries' stocks, bonds and currencies will suffer from slowing global economic growth.
America's Addiction To Debt: 30 Facts About Debt In America That Will Blow Your Mind (David B.)
Debt slavery is destroying millions of lives all across this country, and it is imperative that we educate the American people about the dangers of all this debt.
The following are 30 facts about debt in America that will absolutely blow your mind...
Of Jobs, Debts And Budgets (jdargis)
November 2011 was a bad month for consumers: evolving debt went up more than eight percent (the largest month-to-month percentage increase since 2008) and this dubious accomplishment was accompanied by the biggest month to month growth in overall consumer debt since 2001. December's consumer credit debt increased $19.3 billion to $2.5 trillion. This rise in credit card debt was the fourth month in a row card balances grew.
The Fallen (jdargis)
Haarde was succeeded by Jóhanna Sigurdardóttir, the country's first female prime minister and the world's first openly gay elected head of government. After a dismal couple of years -- gross domestic product (GDP) contracted 9.6 percent in 2009 -- the bleeding now appears to have stopped, with growth projected at 2.5 percent for this year. A fierce debate over whether to join the European Union is likely in the coming year.
The Myth of Energy Independence: Why We Can't Drill Our Way to Oil Autonomy (jdargis)
There are plenty of good reasons for the optimism. With the development of its massive shale deposits, the United States has become the world's single largest producer of natural gas. We're so awash in it that domestic prices have plummeted to historic lows. Advances in drilling technology have also made it possible to access hard-to-tap "tight" oil reserves in states such as North Dakota. Analysts believe those fresh crude sources could yield 2.9 million barrels of oil a day by 2020, up from 900,000 today. Meanwhile, cars are getting more efficient, and fuel use has dropped after soaring during the last decade, which frees up more energy production for export. According to Bloomberg, the U.S. is already getting 81% of its energy from domestic sources, the largest share since 1992, and up 10 percentage points since 2005.
As 'Yuck Factor' Subsides, Treated Wastewater Flows From Taps (jdargis)
For most of the four decades beginning in 1970, the arid West was the fastest-growing region in the country; the population of Nevada quintupled in that period while Arizona's nearly quadrupled. Continued population growth, unmatched by growth in water storage capacity, makes this a "new era in water management in the United States," the science group's report said.

What Summers said:
For executives planning their strategies in light of the "new normal" economy, renowned economist Larry Summers has some important advice: "There are those today who would resist the process of international integration; that is a prescription for a more contentious and less prosperous world…We should not oppose offshoring or outsourcing."With the unemployment rate at 9.4 percent, Summers compared critics of the outsourcing of American jobs to "luddites who took axes to machinery early in England's industrial revolution." Unfortunately, the full of text of Summers' remarks is mysteriously missing from the website — particularly odd given the fact that most of the other keynotes are posted online.
And my reaction:
Well, if being a luddite is wrong, I don't want to be a technophile. Note the name of this conference in question: Business Process Outsourcing/Information Technology Outsourcing Forum. That's right, the one-percenters are so hot to offshore your job to cuts costs that they actually have professional conferences to discuss how to do it.
Be careful to whom you express your views to concerning the Gold Standard.
Acording to Max Kieser and Stacey Herbert the FBI considers advocates of the Gold Standard to be extreemists. Max makes light of their absurdity, but why get your name on their computers?

They are so lovely, peeping down to see what is going on below. We have Tuis..sometimes called the "Parson Bird" because of the white tuft like a collar at their throat, and iridescent green feathers that can look very dark. Wax eyes, small and pretty, sparrows, grey, starlings, their feathers shine too, and although we rarely see them, the shining cuckoo. If you go to my blog on 23rd January, " Baby bird and little blocks " I have a photo of one shining cuckoo chick and his story.

I have read about your owls, and have always loved them. Of course we don't have them :(. We've got red-wing black birds, grackles, cat birds, 3 kinds of wood peckers, red-breasted grosbeaks, chickadees, cardinals, blue jays, robins, Baltimore Orioles, yellow warblers, wood thrushes, mourning doves...I'm sure there's more! They are eating so much suet, but I can't help it-I love them all so much.

Very lovely owls! We don't have very many types of birds because we don't have many trees around our house. We have a lot of starlings, robins and a pair of brown thrashers and also hummingbirds.

What a pleasure, Kathleen, to be able to see and show us these lovely owls. And, it's wonderful that they seemed to be unfazed by your presence and just enjoy the shade from your tree. As we live on the 5th floor in an apt, the birds we see are in the trees below, an assortment of blackbirds, sparrows, wrens, robins and on the water there are ducks and Canada geese.

How exciting! We hear owls here occasionally, but I've never seen one of them. Right now, I'm mostly watching young chicks! LOL!

A report has surfaced that claims the speech recognition firm Nuance is currently talking with suitors about a potential sell off. The report claims that among the suitors looking to buy Nuance are Samsung and several private equity firms.
Nuance is a company that is behind some of the more popular speech recognition tech on the market today. Nuance tech is being used in a number of Samsung products including smartphones and tablets. Nuance is also the behind the scenes source of Siri's power on Apple devices.
Nuance reportedly has a market capitalization of about $5.5 billion. The largest shareholder in Nuance is Carl Icahn. There is no word on how close Nuance is to a deal to sell to the highest bidder.

Black desktop & not genuine message (Windows 7 home premium)
Hi All,
I got a laptop with Windows 7 Home premium edition on it from a friend.
Turning it on I am able to reach the normal screen with the welcome word, however
after that instead to see the normal Windows 7 desktop I see a black screen the mouse cursor
and a text on the right bottom saying that that copy of Windows 7 (build 7601) is not genuine.
As a general information, under the laptop there is product key code.
Before writing here I just checked the entire system for malware viruses and so on using
the kaspersky rescue disk without finding any problems.
The following is the output from the MGADiag tool. After clicking on the Copy button however
I got a message from the tooll saying that were problems copying text...
Thank you

Please boot to Normal Mode and run the tool again - post the new results.
Being in a non-genuine state does not affect most of the functionality of Windows.

Booting in normal mode I see only these things:
I cannot do anything in this situation, I have no explorer or desktop or anything to click on.
I don't know exactly what happened on this PC, but I'm pretty sure this is a genuine copy of Windows 7 preinstalled
on the laptop. Its product key code is under the laptop.
Any suggestion?
Thank you

You should be able to cancel the notification , which then allows you into your normal desktop (apart from the background)
If not, then you have more problems than just a WGA one.
Try this...
(the CHKDSK should work from Safe Mode - the SFC may not)

thanks for the eagle-eye, Tom!
You should be able to cancel the notification , which then allows you into your normal desktop (apart from the background)
If not, then you have more problems than just a WGA one.
Try this...
Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked,
and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, press Enter, and then reboot.
The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -
then run the SFC.
SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
and hit the Enter key
Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
Copy the CBS.log file created (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log) to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive Public folder (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.
Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

Hey Shaun, well this has turned out wonderfully!ReplyDelete
Fotosketcher is great eh? And reasonably quick amd so many parameters, It 's agood thing because CG is so clinical and it;s great to introduce a random variable in like this to dirty it up. It's added wonderful atmosphere to this work.

About Micronic Mydata AB
Micronic Laser Systems AB engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of a series of laser pattern generators for the production of photo-masks, a principal component of the microlithography process in Sweden. Its product line includes semiconductor, display, and electronic packaging products.
In the semiconductor market, the company operates as a supplier that offers the market a whole new technology for producing semiconductor chips.
The primary markets for the companys laser pattern generators are the display and semiconductor industries; and Multi Purpose systems. The companys major geographic markets include China, Taiwan, South Korea, the U.S. and Japan.
The Company manufactures systems that are used in the production of advanced photo-masks for flat panel displays (the lrs product series), semiconductor applications (the Sigma and Omega product series), and electronic packaging (the mp product series). The product offering also includes metrology systems for display photo-masks (the mms product series).
Pattern generators for display photo-masks
LRS series
All of the systems in the LRS series are used to produce advanced photo-masks for flat panel displays, primarily for the manufacture of tft-lcds. The LRS - 11000-tft3 provides twice the resolution of Micronics earlier generation tft pattern generator, the LRS11000- tft2. The lrs11000-tft2 is also used for tft-lcd and color filter photomasks.
The LRS15000 series has a larger stage, 1,300 x 1,500 mm, which is approximately sufficient for generation 7 tft-lcd photo-masks. The lrs15000- tft2 is used primarily to produce photo-masks for lcd-tvs, while the lrs15000-tft3 is designed for the most advanced tft-lcd photo-masks.
Metrology systems for TFT-LCD photo-masks
The MMS15000 system is used to verify pattern placement accuracy on area tft-lcd photo-masks. The system has a registration measurement accuracy of better than 100 nanometers and is capable of performing measurements on photo-masks as 1,300 x 1,500 mm.
Pattern generators for semiconductor photo-masks
The Sigma7300 is a duv (Deep Ultra Violet) optical pattern generator based on spatial light modulator (slm) technology, and offers a combination of high resolution and short write time. The system is designed for production of semiconductor photo-masks at technology nodes down to 65 nm.
The Omega6600 is a raster scan pattern generator with a very architecture enabling photomask manufacturers to achieve optimal quality and writing speed. The Omega6600 is a stable tool for volume production of semiconductor photo-masks down to the 130 nm node and above. Another application is production of photo-masks for image sensor devices found in camera phones and digital cameras.
Pattern generators for electronic packaging and plasma display panel photo-masks
The MP80+ is an extremely versatile pattern generator designed to handle area photo-masks for precision applications. Photo-masks manufactured with this system are used in applications such as advanced electronic packaging and passive lcds.
The MP185+ is designed for Plasma Display Panels (pdps) and has the capacity to write photo-masks up to 1,400 x 1,850 mm.
The companys suppliers include Mikrobas in Sweden, Schott Glass Technologies, Inc. in Germany, Corning Tropel Corporation in the U.S. and the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany.
The companys two customer categories include merchant mask shops that are subcontractors to electronic component manufacturers, and chip makers with captive mask shops.
The companys major competitors include DuPont Photomasks, Photronics, Dai Nippon Printing, Toppan Printing, Hoya, PKL, TMC, TSMC, Samsung Electronics, NuFlare Technology, Jeol, Hitachi, LG Micron, and Applied Materials.
Micronic Laser Systems AB was founded in 1989.

SWOT Analysis
SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.
Enhanced SWOT Analysis
Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:
- How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
- How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?
Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.
Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.
Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:
- Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations' impact on the business?
- Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence's degree?
- Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business's products and operations?
- Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
- Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
- Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?
IFE, EFE, IE Matrices
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business's functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.
The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.
The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.
Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.
Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter's five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:
- What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
- Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
- What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
- How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
- How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
VRIO Analysis
VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company's resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:
- Tangible resources
- Financial
- Physical
- Technological
- Organizational
- Intangible resources
- Human
- Innovation and Creativity
- Reputation
- Organizational capabilities
The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company's competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:
- Valuable?
- Rare?
- Costly to imitate?
- Organized properly?

Dear Public Education Coalition:
We appreciate your initiative to organize activities on March 1 in support of public education in California. We support events that draw attention to the increasing challenges our University community faces because of the erosion of state funding, and we fully agree with the call for California to once again support the California Master Plan of Education as an integral facet of economic stability for our state's families. We will continue to press the case for investment in the UC with out elected representatives in Sacramento.
You also have articulated a series of campus-specific, budget-related demands that range from support for selected academic support programs to access to campus spaces. We have and will continue to work across the campus to fairly accommodate the budget reductions that have touched every aspect of campus life. We take very seriously our responsibility to oversee the campus resources to benefit all. As we make these difficult decisions, we will continue to give strong consideration to input from all segments of the campus community.
Since 1990, the state's contribution to educating each UC student has dropped more than 50%. The magnitude of the cutbacks cannot continue without seriously affecting the quality of education at the University of California. We share your disappointment and frustration with the deep and lasting budget cuts. Therefore, we encourage you to join the UC Regents and colleagues from all campuses on May 17, 2012 for a march on Sacramento. Our unified support can make a difference for current and future students.
Marye Anne Fox

By Daneille Gray Snowden June 2014
I love watching my husband playing with my children. He seems to be the 'fun' parent. The kids giggle the hardest and run the fastest when daddy is there. Another thing that I just LOVE; is when my husband rises up and teaches God's living word in deed and instruction. My children quickly hush and peer into the eyes of their father as He instructs them from the passages of the Bible.
Sunday being Father's Day, we will be ministering about the role of a father as the Priest of his home. Praying that the vision our God projected in both the Old and New Testament be perceived by all the Father's attending. This is the KEY we believe for healthier families, stronger churches and a godly country. When our men rise up and be all what God created them to be, we do believe this will usher in a solidification within the church of Jesus Christ; thus a strength we haven't witnessed in many years.
Woman who are married, especially Christian woman long for their husbands to not only protect them and their family; via physically but also spiritually and emotionally. I feel at peace when my own husband rises up and leads our family. The children feel secure, a trait that is required for a healthy spiritual and emotional individual.
Kohen is the Hebrew word for Priest; in the Arabic we find the root word - 'Orab', meaning 'to draw near'. Thus, add it all together and we have: "one who may 'draw near' to the Divine Presence." The KEY to being the PRIEST OF THE HOME is...Being in the Presence of the Almighty. By doing so, changes a persons appearance and demeanor. God's Ways become our ways, God's Words become ours and even, God's Hands reach out through us to others. When we speak to, pray for and even hold our precious children, let it be - the TOUCH OF GOD they feel and HIS VOICE they hear. All from dwelling in His Presence and applying His Words permanently on our hearts.
Fathers, this is a beckon 'CALL - OUT' to you! Wives to and fro are praying to God for their spouse to be the Priest of their homes. We are desperately needing you to fulfill God's Plan for your life and the entire family. We will follow, we will praise our God as you rise up early to seek the Lord, as well as teach our children.
Deuteronomy 6: 6 "And these words which I am commanding you this day shall be [first] in your [own] minds and hearts; [then]
7 You shall whet and sharpen them so as to make them penetrate, and teach and impress them diligently upon the [minds and] hearts of your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up."
May all the Christian Father's across the land declare:
Joshua 24:15 "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Strong and independent is the best way to describe the collection of DIMITRI in two words. He is a genius who always exactly knows what women want when it´s about fashion. As usual he showed dresses in wonderful flowing silk. They create an extraordinary pretty silhouette and emphasize on the body shape. What I really loved was the use of fur and leather. Never too much but always enough to turn each piece into an eye-catcher. Wonderful dresses, pencil skirts, pants and blouses let each women look like a goddess. This time, the colour palette ranges between black, purple and neutral tones. Details like pipings turn his pieces into something special. His dresses always remind me of a piece of art that invites you to take the time to explore them. What marks the label DIMTRI is the unique way to re-create dreams in silk and leather. That may be one of the reasons why stars love to wear his designs on the red carpet. The best way to describe him comes from himself: "I design for women with taste, charisma and self-confidence who are willing to show this". For all pictures press more.

Inspired by this week's feature on a Glassblower's Guide to Things to Do in Tacoma, I wanted to highlight some of the more special glass works (architecture, installations, and art) around the world.
I've come to appreciate glass as such a special product, with its unique properties – if you stop to think about it, it really is quite a wonder, and one we'd sorely miss if we didn't have it. Consider a house or car without windows for example!
Glass art and architecture is everywhere, so on your next trip – maybe in one of these places – stop and admire it.
The Biggest Glass Palace in the World – Leipzig, Germany
They call the great hall at the Leipzig Fair "the biggest glass palace in the World" because just looking at it, you can see it's incredible. It's the largest levitated glass hall, 240 meters long and 80 meters wide, with 1140 tons of glass floating above your head.
The Okinawa Aquarium, Japan
While it might be "acrylic" glass (so, slightly different than what you'd drink a beer out of), the largest acrylic glass panel in the world can be found at the Okinawa Aquarium. As this photo suggest, it's a surreal experience. Many say this aquarium is the best in the world. I'll leave you to go and decide for yourself.
Apple George Street store in Sydney Australia
Apple has a knack for building incredible, noteworthy Apple Stores – the architecture is part of the experience. Their store on 5th Avenue in New York is the most photographed location on Flickr, believe it or not, but it is the George Street Store in Sydney Australia that makes a noteworthy glass accomplishment – the largest seamless glass panes in the world. I personally do love shopping in Sydney, so if you're down under, say hello to the folks at Apple – and then check out some other recommended stuff to do in Sydney.
Preston Bradley Hall, Chicago Cultural Center
The Chicago Cultural Center is certainly one of the Windy City's highlights – and that's saying something from a town known for its architecture. This is Tiffany's Largest Glass Dome and Skylight, and it is the largest stained-glass domed ceiling in the world. And don't miss my other tips for fun places to go in Chicago.
Worlds Largest Glass Sculpture – Bellagio, Las Vegas
I couldn't have a list of glass amazement without featuring Dale Chihuly, the world's foremost glass artist and a true genius. His built the largest glass sculpture in the world which is on display on the ceiling of the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada. It appears to be oozing across the ceiling, almost ominously. It's wonderful.
The World's largest Collection of Glass Art
If you like glass, then you must visit one of the world's best glass museums, the Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG). It's home to the largest collection of glass art, and has some wonderful pieces and an extraordinary permanent collection. Corning is a lovely town in upstate New York, great to visit this museum in combination with a trip around the Finger Lakes.
Central Saint Giles, London
Talk about a unique piece of architecture! These entirely glass facades that drape the buildings of Central Saint Giles in London are a departure from the city's more reserved building features, but my what an eye opener they are, especially on a dreary, cloudy day. Beautiful, eh? A must see during your trip to London.
Louvre Pyramid, Paris, France
What glass art list would be complete without a photo of the world's most famous and iconic glass pyramid? This wonderful addition to the Louvre in Paris, France, is so famous that it's spawned numerous copies and features in many films and movies, including The Davinci Code. You can't see in the photo, but the Louvre has 4 pyramids – the one large pyramid and 3 smaller ones surrounding it.
Cascade at Adelaide Botanical Garden in Australia
If you're considering the possibilities of what to do in Adelaide, then you must visit the Adelaide Botanical garden. That's where you'll see this wonderful glass structure, Cascade. There are over 500 glass pieces glued together to create this tidal wave of awesome!
Murano, Italy: The Home of Glass
Murano is said to be the home of glasswork – many of today's glassworking techniques are based on those same principles that were pioneered in Murano. You'll have an endless choice of shops for buying glass, or to watch glass art being made, plus you'll want to visit the Murano Glass Museum – where you'll see some amazing works, like these glass plants!
Bridge of Glass, Tacoma
Of course, we have to visit the city that inspired this list! Tacoma has a lot of great public glass art, much of it from Dale Chihuly. His most famous piece must be the Bridge of Glass. No, the entire bridge isn't glass, but it's got hundreds of pieces and this wonderful ceiling that will leave you totally inspired. Next door to it is the Tacoma Museum of Art, a must-visit.
World's Largest Stained Glass Window
The largest stained glass window in the world was located on the facade of the American Airlines terminal at JFK airport in New York. Unfortunately, the airline didn't have the money for the upkeep of the facade, and no donors or sponsors came forward to take it, so it was dismantled.
Now, the largest stained glass window is at the Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. It seems like an unlikely destination for a glass-lover, but if you drop by at sunset, you'll be treated to a spectacular display.
Most Evocative Stained Glass
Speaking of stained glass, my personal favorite for stained glass is the beautiful Sainte Chapelle chapel in Paris, France. It's just so experiential – it's dark, the colored light streams in, the tourists are quiet and respectful….
Crown Fountain
Chicago's Millennium Park has really changed over the years – it's a prime property but today it's also a tourist hot spot, with so many wonderful outdoor pavilions, public art, and view after view. One of the more controversial pieces are these glass brick towers. They have faces of local Chicagoans portrayed on them. I've seen it and it's interesting – perhaps not my personal faves, but the kids romping in the reflecting pond in between, it seems a hit with the locals.
The Glass House
Like minimalism and modern architecture? Then you'll want to check out The Glass House (or Johnson House), built in 1949 in New Canaan, Connecticut. You can note influences of Mies van der Rohe and Glasarchitektur, the famous German style from the 1920s. It's a private home, tucked away from view (er, probably best!), but tours are available.
Scariest Piece of glass to Stand on
There are plenty of glass viewing decks in the world that are a bit adrenaline-pumping, but the relatively new Grand Canyon Skywalk certainly takes the cake – this horseshoe shaped structure has a fully transparent glass floor, and glass side walls – apart from the bit of supporting structure you see in the photo (which I think we're all thankful for), this view isn't for the weak of heart.
The Glass Flowers
Last but not least, we end at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As with most things Harvard, it's an immaculate and organized collection of exhibits, covering many genres, but one of the most interesting is the enormous collection of glass flowers. Not quite one-of-everything, but close!

OLYMP Level Five Knitwear, body fit, Pullover crew neck, Anthracite
Extra fine qualities. Body fit.
Extra fine qualities. Body fit.
Pure new wool is a natural product and the designation can only be awarded to new wool from living animals. The natural sheen of the fibres gives the wool used for OLYMP Knitwear a sophisticated appearance. Its insulating and warming effect is complemented by temperature-regulating breathability.
OLYMP Knitwear – Wear and care tips
• Always wash similar colours and the same materials together, i.e. whites separately from coloureds, cotton separately from wool.
• Fasten any buttons and zips and turn the garments inside out to protect the fibres on the outside.
• Always follow the care instructions on the label.
• It is preferable to wash knitted items on a machine wool wash cycle, even if it is recommended to wash by hand. In this way the washing temperature can be precisely controlled, detergents ideally dispensed and the mechanical load reduced. If the care label indicates hand washing, set the wash cycle to cold, i.e. to less than 30 degrees Celsius.
• Only fill the drum of the washing machine up to a third. This will improve the wash result/washing performance and protect the garments.
• Only use a wool detergent for woollens – the greater foam build-up protects against mechanical influences and counteracts felting or roughening of the surface. For cottons, use a fine detergent.
• Liquid detergent is preferable to powder, as it dissolves better and is easier to rinse out. Use the detergent sparingly in accordance with the dosage instructions, as otherwise it may not wash out completely and damage the fibres. Avoid additional fabric softener.
• Only spin for a short time.
• After washing, pull the garments into shape and dry flat. Do not dry in the tumble dryer! Also avoid drying in direct sunlight or on the radiator, in order to prevent formation of stains, fading and fibre breakage.
• To counteract shine or felting, only iron inside out, on the middle temperature setting and with plenty of steam.
• Always wash or clean garments before storing them for prolonged periods of time.
• Regularly dust wardrobes and wipe them out with a damp cloth.
• Do not use drawer liner!
• As a basic principle, only place dry clothing in the wardrobe.
• Place cedar wood balls, lavender bags, moth paper or moth traps specially designed for clothing (available from drugstores) in the wardrobe. Now and again roughen up the cedar wood with sand paper. Take care when using mothproofing agents that these conform to human-ecological standards.
