Innovations Propel Heidelberg's Leadership in Worldwide Packaging Segment
Friday, June 13, 2014
Press release from the issuing company
As the world's largest supplier to the folding carton market, Heidelberg far outstrips its rivals for dominance in the global packaging segment. Heidelberg backs up its leadership with a portfolio of innovative packaging solutions, from prepress and workflow, to 29", 40" and VLF sheetfed, to postpress and finishing, and from entry-level to high-performance.
Recently concluded market research reveals that Heidelberg maintained its leadership position in 40/41" press installations for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, and currently boasts well over 50 percent market share in the U.S. alone. Heidelberg became the U.S. market leader in VLF packaging presses (Speedmaster XL 145 and XL 162) for the first time in 2014. Several orders from repeat customers confirm the unique advantages of the most recent VLF platform. Just 10 months ago, some key innovations on Heidelberg's Speedmaster XL 145/162 VLF press series platform were recognized with the InterTech™ Technology Award – the first press ever in the 57"/64" class to be so honored.
Earlier this week, Heidelberg announced the full acquisition of Gallus Holding AG, Switzerland, a leading supplier of labels and folding cartons. The takeover will accelerate the development and use of Heidelberg digital products in the growing labels sector, including a new digital printing system incorporating Fujifilm technology, to be unveiled this fall.
Heidelberg leads in the packaging segment precisely because it focuses on what the print providers are trying to achieve in terms of quality, brand value, and responsiveness to customer needs. The growing demand for custom-built press configurations capable of delivering the highest quality specialized applications in the shortest possible time reflects a key requirement in the packaging segment to lower manufacturing costs while maximizing profits. A high-productivity press enables the user to meet this demand without accumulating excess inventory. Coupled with reduced passes or touch points, unrivaled color management, inline color control and detailed production reporting, Heidelberg packaging presses promote lean manufacturing at its best.
Last year alone, Heidelberg shipped dozens of multiple-coating-unit (LYYL) presses, which incorporate IR/HA/UV. Sixty-three percent of all 40" inch units are equipped with the Heidelberg Dry Star UV Combination Dryer, a critical element of Heidelberg's UV packaging success, designed and built specifically to optimize sheet travel and deliver peak output with maximum drying and curing. Heidelberg supplies a full range of UV/LED options—including low-energy UV for use with heat-sensitive substrates—fulfilling need for integrated solutions designed to promote maximum curing in the minimum amount of time, using no more energy than needed to satisfy the requirements of the application.
Leading Through Innovation
True leadership is proven by consistency, however, and Heidelberg proudly continues its unique history of innovation in the packaging market. From the 1987 launch of the Speedmaster CD 102, the first dedicated packaging printing press, to the addition of presses and CtP devices in the VLF format range at drupa 2008, to the introduction of the ultra-productive Speedmaster XL 106 at drupa 2012, Heidelberg has applied its core skills in sheetfed offset production to the manufacture of high-quality folding cartons.
Today, Heidelberg not only offers equipment for every stage of the packaging production process, but also integrates each area into a streamlined, JDF-based Prinect Packaging Workflow. By cutting makeready times, reducing waste, and optimizing material flow, integrated solutions from Heidelberg achieve the lowest possible cost per folding carton.
Heidelberg is the only manufacturer to offer end-to-end production and software solutions. The opportunity to view equipment from Heidelberg's packaging portfolio draws hundreds of visitors to Heidelberg's North American Print and Packaging Technology Center each year. Below, a summary of Heidelberg's newest innovations in end-to-end package production:
Single-Source Solution
Heidelberg supports efforts in the packaging realm with comprehensive print media expertise, and a menu of equipment, software and services developed to help customers meet their business goals. Examples include the best service coverage in the market for industrial production machines requiring maximum up-time, together with a full line of Saphira consumables (including UV) and Business Consulting Services to keep equipment running at peak efficiency throughout its life cycle.
With its long history of innovation in the packaging market, Heidelberg has developed a persuasive value proposition that's borne out by the longevity of its installed base and the enduring appeal of its technology. Whether printers plan to enter the packaging segment or already have high-volume requirements and want to improve their 24/7 productivity, Heidelberg is a one-stop shop for a complete packaging solution.

MILAN (Reuters) - Four Italian banks that were rescued from bankruptcy in November and are now in the process of being sold said on Thursday their non-performing loans had increased by 386 million euros ($432 million) in the first half of the year.
Italy is struggling to sell Banca Marche, Banca Etruria, CariChieti and CariFerrara in an effort to recoup at least part of the 3.75 billion euros that other Italian lenders stumped up in the rescue.
Sources familiar with the matter have said bids for the lenders were low as investors feared the banks would need to write down further their problem loans.
The four banks said they held 'sofferenze' -- or loans to insolvent borrowers -- worth 542 million euros in gross terms at the end of June.
This was up from 156 million euros six months earlier as loans previously considered as 'unlikely to pay' had now been classed as non-performing, they said. ($1 = 0.8928 euros)

Yesterday afternoon started off perfect. It was a gorgeous sunny day in Vancouver and I was set to do a long run. The plan was minimum 15K. I was planning on running Stanley Park, then English Bay to Yaletown, but at the last minute I switched to an adventure in Kits. I was worried I would get caught in Stanley Park in the dark — and we all know I don't like that park in the dark. :|
I updated my tunes and off I went {pssst… if you have Rdio, you can view and listen to the playlist here!}
I headed over the Granville Bridge as an epic sunset was taking over the sky. My legs were moving and I was excited to tackle new ground. A friend / mentor / ultra running crazy man, Adam Campbell, has been reinforcing to me that I need to switch from counting kilometres to focusing on time and going with the flow. I decided to do just that …. {briefly at least… I had good intentions :)}.
I ran past Burrard Bridge, then Kitsilano Beach and before you knew it I was en route to Jericho Beach. I was feeling great and decide the I would turn around at 10K instead of the planned 7.5K — I felt like I could do 20K and I wanted the challenge. Jericho was new territory for me and I didn't know the area. I got to the beach (10K mark) just as the sun was setting and pink was taking over the sky. I knew I wanted to get away from the beach area before it was dark, so I booked it back up to the street. A few blocks away from the beach I bailed.
One moment I was running, the next moment I heard my cheek hit the pavement. My right cheek struck first, then my right shoulder. I was immediately in shock, but conscious. My whole body was screaming with pain and I turned over to sit on the pavement. I had torn my Lululemon thermals open and I could taste blood on my mouth and see it on my legs.
At the moment, I realized I was in the middle of no where. Somewhere near Jericho. No idea where I was — and not in the sight of a runner. I started calling all the friends I knew in Kits, someone who could come and pick me up. No one answered and I moved to my downtown friends. Katie {from the #RunCrew} picked up her phone and in tears I told her that I needed her to come get me. {Thank you for the cement rescue darling}.
We made our way to St. Paul's Hospital and soon enough we were in emergency. My cheek was swollen up and my legs were angry. I had no idea if anything was broken, but felt like the fall was sketch enough that I should probably get checked out. I was fast tracked to see a nurse and the process began. X-rays of my shoulder and legs — thankfully both banged up, nothing broken. Then a CT scan of my head and face — right cheek bone fracture. Then a EKG, blood work and a whole lot of questions to answer.
The doctors were less concerned about my physical injuries and more concerned about why I fell. They either think I fainted or that something was going on with my heart {irregular heartbeat etc}. No history of fainting or heart issues by the way. I was moved into another unit to meet with the Cardiologist and shortly after 1am, I was admitted to Cardiology for the night. They wanted to monitor my heart and meet with the Head of Cardiology in the morning.
I haven't been overnight in a hospital since 1999. It's funny how it all comes flooding back to you. Vitals every hour. Nurses coming in. Machines beeping. Code white. Code blue. They hooked me up to the machines and told me they'd let me sleep for a few hours. Just after 6am, the hospital hustle started. They were back to do more blood work and hook me up to more machines.
Shortly after 9am, the Head of Cardiology arrived to chat. We walked through what happened on the run and the tests that were run in emergency. As I had been stable overnight, he would release me but wanted me to stay attached to the Cardiology unit as an outpatient for the next few weeks. This week I'll have an echocardiogram {heart ultrasound}, do a cardiac stress test {watching your heart when you run on a treadmill} and pick up a holder monitor {electrodes applied to skin and attached to tape recorder for 1-2 days}.
Fingers crossed, all tests come back good, I get the all clear from the Cardiologist and I'm back to the grind soon. He did confirm that running is good for the heart and he wants me to be back at it as soon as I can.
Right now, I'm sore as hell and it's the last thing my body feels like doing. My head on the other hand… knows I was on my way to an epic 20K run and can't wait to get back on the pavement.
Thankful for everyone that has reached out since my tumble — and thank you to Katie for sticking by my side. The team at St. Paul's was fabulous — I couldn't have asked for better care.
There are likely lessons that have come from this event — but I'm not far enough removed from the situation to think of them yet. :) For now I will focus on healing my broken face, doing the required cardio tests this week, and getting myself to physio this week to take care of my shoulder and legs.

From the LVRJ: April Fool's Day came one day early for a William Hill bettor who wagered $7,000 to win $100 on the money line that Connecticut would beat Mississippi State on Friday night in the women's Final Four.
The bettor lost $7,000 when the Bulldogs stunned the Huskies 66-64 on a buzzer-beater in overtime to end UConn's 111-game win streak.
The Huskies, who hadn't lost since Nov. 17, 2014, were 21½-point favorites over Mississippi State, a team they crushed by 60 in last season's Sweet 16.

Hi -- My go-to short rib recipes (and most of my braising recipes in general) all call for alcohol -- either beer or wine. For a dinner party this weekend, I'm looking for a good recipe that doesn't call for any alcohol -- not even a small amount! Any recommendations? I'm wondering if I could take some of the recipes from the site and adapt them to omit the alcohol? What's the best substitute for beer or red wine to still achieve depth of flavor? Thanks for your help!
I've never used it to braise, but how about vinegar?
I make a great short rib recipe that is from "Canadian Living " magazine site. If you google Canadian Living recipes.. and put in Short ribs it is Lee Leuschners( SP) recipe..People always ask for the recipe. If you cannot find it let me know. Barb. I think it is the 3rd entry under short ribs.
Emily, Rick Bayless has a delicious short rib recipe that contains no alcohol -- the ingredients are poblano chiles, onion, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, and short ribs, of course. It is in his cookbook Mexico: One Plate at a Time. I'm not seeing the reicpe online, but if you are interested in seeing this recipe, feel free to DM me and I will paraphrase the recipe for you.
I've seen many recipes for coffee braised short ribs on the internet...haven't tried any yet but many sound very good!
Any short rib recipe you like is good. Just substitute another liquid of your choice for the alcohol in the recipe and drive on. The list of possibilities is varied as your imagination.
this is going to sound kind of crazy, and I've never cooked with it myself, but I have seen many brisket recipes with Coke or Dr. Pepper...

"Say you could trade in what you are and give away everything that's special about you for a plain ol' regular laugh, would you?"
"Well, the me I wish I was would say 'no way'. Would say you gotta keep on fighting stupidity. Every mind you change is one less dumb fuck on the bad guys' side. But me, I'm afraid I'm a common. I'm feeling I'm a lot less optimistic I can affect the kind of change that makes a squirt's piss difference in this world and I'm so fucking tired of fighting."

Toyota's Tiny iQ Takes Japan's Car of the Year Honors
A panel of 65 motoring journalists in Japan has made Toyota's new iQ their overwhelming choice for that country's 2008-2009 Car of the Year. The diminutive but innovative micro city runner received more than twice as many votes as the second place finisher, the Citroen C5 and handily outpointed Nissan's highly-touted GT-R supercoupe, which came third in the competition. While the iQ has just gone on sale in the home market and will hit showrooms in Europe sometime in early 2009, its future in the U.S. has yet to be determined. Also unclear is whether the iQ will be marketed as a Toyota or Scion if -- but more likely when -- it finally does arrive here.
As long on innovation as it its short (118 inches) on size, the iQ offers room for four in a unique 3+1 asymmetric seating configuration that easily trumps its closest competitor, the smart fortwo. Toyota also fitted the iQ with the world's first rear-window curtain airbag, a welcome bit of safety kit in a vehicle with so little aft overhang. Matching an impressively appointed passenger cabin optimized to maximize space utilization with a super-low emission 1.0-liter engine that delivers over 50 mpg in Japanese trim, the iQ definitely has raised the global city car benchmark. It'll be interesting to see how well and how soon Toyota manages to translate that character and capability into an American-spec version.

Murder in the Sacristy: A Fifth Columnist Mystery
eBook (ePub)
Price: $1.99
A sacristan is found murdered in the sacristy and the safe robbed of valuable jewels. All clues seem to point to the priest as the murderer. But is the priest the guilty party - or is it the communist? - the Nazi? - the Senator's wife? --- or someone else? This mystery novel, set in World War II Chicago, was written by Daniel A Lord, S.J., who was a priest and popular American Catholic writer. The subjects of the works in his bibliography range from religion, humor, plays, songs, mysteries and even politics. His most influential work was possibly in drafting the 1930 Production Code for motion pictures. (Introduction by Maria Therese) [From librivox.org]

Some things are a waste of time. Some people are a waste of time. Wasting time with the right people is never really a waste - until they don't stay 'right'. Wasting time with the wrong ones is a complete waste and makes you waste more time recovering from them. All this waste happens by choice. Why is it so hard to see that 3 out of the 4 above are wrong for the mind and body? It just leads to using money, that you seem to never have enough of, as bandages. You think if time was a train it would have honked before it approached and passed you by? Nah ah. Because each train (minute) passing is carrying gold and doesn't feel it needs to have to wake you up.
Waste your wealth, it will come back slowly. Waste your health, it will come back grumpy. Waste your time, it will come back as a reminder - and haunt you.
Manage your waste. Start now, Emon.

Monday Dec 24th. HRV=61 Red.
Looks like today is a rest day but I don't mind. Spent the day out and about with a lot of walking and some last minute Christmas shopping. Retested again late afternoon to check my recovery and got a result of 91 which must be my highest ever. Decided to take a chance and went for a short run but threw in 6* 1 minute fast and felt all the better for it.
Plan for tomorrow is to eat, drink and be merry.
Tuesday Dec 25th. HRV=62 White.
Today is a rest day and I'll be trying not to overdo it with the food and drink without appearing obvious. There's a local 4.2 mile race on tomorrow and if that fits in with the home itinerary I'll take it. Tomorrow's possible race won't be mentioned or used as an excuse not to over indulge but I will try to pace myself. Think for yourself but sometimes you need to behave like others.
Plan for tomorrow is a 4.2 Mile race or a longer steady run depending on my waking time.
Wednesday Dec 26th. HRV=76 Green.
A good result even though I'm feeling slightly bloated and sluggish but waking without the alarm and in good time to drive to the race means the decision is made. I've never regretted running but have often regretted not running! Arrived at the race venue with little time to spare and yet again missed my warm up. This was an unplanned race and to make it worthwhile I decided to run at slightly faster than my Tempo pace with my HR at 90% of HR max. Got trapped at the start and for the first Km I was trying to find an opening that would allow a break from the pack. By the time this happened the field was well spread out and I was too far back to make any impression on the results. I ignored what was going on around me and got into my own rhythm quite quickly and ran it steady all the way. My pace changed with the lie of the land but my HR stayed constant at 158-160bpm. Finished in 25:09 and I'm quite happy with that as my recent training has all been about strength & endurance rather than speed and I'm running on tired legs that are far from race ready.
Plan for tomorrow is up in the air at the moment as we're visiting friends tonight so that could be a deciding factor plus I have a long drive.
Thursday Dec 27th. HRV=60 Amber.
An expected low result after all of yesterday and don't think I'll have time to run today as I've a 4hr car journey that might take a little bit longer. Having a low result makes the decision to rest easier as I know it's of more benefit than training.
Plan for tomorrow is run to and from work at an easy pace to work off a bit of Christmas and start getting back to a normal routine.
Friday Dec 28th. HRV=82 Green.
A good result and helped banish the second thoughts I was having about running to work. Shortly after leaving my house I was wondering if I should have saved myself for a faster session later on but although my score is showing good signs of recovery I can feel a heaviness in my legs and that's the result of a few days away from a normal diet. Ran home again at a slightly faster pace. Over the next few days I'll make the effort to recover and refuel.
Got an offer of a lift to the Parkrun so that's my plan for tomorrow.
Saturday Dec 29th. HRV=71 White.
A good result after yesterday's split session but on waking with the alarm I wanted to just switch it off and stay in bed. Not feeling great and my legs are stiff and heavy. Went to the race with no expectations but did start up front and planned on staying with the lead runners for as long as possible. My start was slow and I got caught behind a group of approx 20 on a 3 person wide footpath. The race starts with a slight climb and then a sharp turn right before a slight but short downhill and it was here that I made a break to catch the lead runners. It felt more of an effort than last week but I stuck with the plan and held my ground even though the temptation to slow down was always there. Finished in 6th Place with a time of 18:35 and although a lot slower than last week it's my 3rd race in a less than ideal week and not forgetting I ran close to 40K yesterday.
Plan for tomorrow is an early start for a Team training session on the beach pulling a tyre or weighted sled.
Sunday Dec 30th. HRV=69 White.
Woke early and felt slightly congested before testing and wasn't expecting such a high result. I was planning on running before the tyre hauling session but decided to forget about the run and just concentrate on the more important Team session. Went back to bed for an extra 2 hours and drove to the training venue. The objective of this workout is to train the event specific movement rather than just the muscles and today we spent 3-hrs at a consistent pace hauling a weight of over 30Kg.
Plan for tomorrow is a running commute to and from work.
Weekly Summary
This week was more about damage limitation than proper training and I think it went better than expected with the inclusion of a few short races that served as quality sessions. The blue line is starting to curve upwards and that's a good way to end the year.
Plan for next week is to include a blood test as I want to start using Inside Tracker to ensure I'm in the best possible condition in the build up for my departure to Siberia as I know from experience that a change in diet caused by unfamiliar surroundings can have a negative effect on the overall experience.

Military spouses have unique needs when it comes to employment.
Moving and deployments top the list of issues that often conflict with being able to build a career. When searching for a job, military spouses may find few companies understand the challenges of life in a military family. Most companies don't want to invest in an employee's career growth if they think the employee will leave within a couple years.
Flex time, remote work opportunities, education benefits often come after a substantial amount of time with a company. But for many military spouses, these benefits are crucial to maintain a career that will move with them. Many spouses find having the time to move up in a company while moving around is often impossible.
How do find a company that understands and respects your needs as a military spouse while providing a fulfilling career? Military spouses often have the education, background, and talent to be an important contributor to companies that seek diverse job candidates. More and more companies are finding out that this pool of talent is a huge asset to their organizations.
Military Friendly® is pleased to present 92 Military Spouse Friendly Employers.® The list is one in a series published annually by Military Friendly® identifying those employers and schools that do the most for veterans and military families. The companies on the Military Friendly® list represent a diverse field of industries, including insurance, retail, finance, health care and more. Search the list!

This K07 award will provide Dr. Jessica Hwang with the experience and mentoring to reach her long-term goal of developing into an independent investigator conducting clinical epidemiology and health services research in internal medicine issues and supportive care of patients undergoing treatment for cancer, particularly in viral reactivation during chemotherapy. Immediate career goals include expanding expertise on reactivation of HBV infection;developing analytic skills, including skills in decision-analysis and cost-effectiveness studies;and gaining expertise in the interpretation of HBV serologic scenarios and the clinical management of patients at risk for reactivation. At present, oncologists in the U.S. perform prechemotherapy screening in only a small percentage of patients at risk for HBV reactivation during chemotherapy. The objective of this application is to determine the impact of systematic prechemotherapy screening for and treatment of HBV among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy affects clinical outcomes.
The specific aims of this application are to: 1) identify the rates and determinants of serologic screening for HBV among cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center;2) determine the rates and predictors of acute HBV infection among M. D. Anderson patients receiving chemotherapy under the current standard of care;3) assess the impact of systematic HBV screening of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy on the rates of acute HBV infection and related clinical outcomes as compared with a historical cohort;4) develop a decision-analysis model to examine the costs and benefits of preventing reactivation of HBV infection. This study will be the first to systematically examine the impact of HBV screening on outcomes in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Aims 1 and 2 will be achieved through a retrospective analysis of merged administrative and clinical databases as well as selected chart review;
Aim 3 through a prospective clinical cohort;
and Aim 4 through decision analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. The combination of Dr. Hwang's unique background in internal medicine and public health and the collective and impressive expertise of her mentoring team make her well suited for conducting this project. The proposed career development activities in cancer control, statistics, decision analysis, and cost-effectiveness analysis will provide Dr. Hwang with the skills necessary to establish herself as an independent researcher in her field.
Nearly 17 million people in the United States have evidence of HBV infection, and they are at high risk for reactivation of HBV infection if they receive immunosuppressive therapy such as chemotherapy. Recent guidelines recommend widespread HBV screening prior to immunosuppression but lack data-driven evidence. This K07 will compare the effectiveness of wide spread vs. targeted HBV screening, and the end result will produce evidence to support HBV screening recommendations for oncologists. These recommendations will inform policy changes and future educational efforts.

Sugardoodle posted a link the other day to a wonderful blog entitled 'My Computer is My Canvas' that has a load of free printables and cute stuff???????? She's done some really cute images for the Primary Theme this year 'I am a Child of God'.
From this site I downloaded the 'I am a Child of God' SUBW...6x20.jpg (1022KB), when I went to print I noticed that because of the American sizing I would miss some of the lettering, so I right-clicked on the image to copy it and then opened up Microsoft word and pasted it onto my page...I had to shrink it a whole lot to get it to fit, and then centred it and left more of a gap at the top of the page to accommodate for seam allowance and attaching handles (see picture below).
I then printed the above onto calico fabric using my 'How to print onto fabric using your printer' post. I then used the printed fabric to make a cute little tote and drawstring bag, but you could make a cushion, frame it etc. My little tote bag worked out to be the perfect size to fit a Book of Mormon in :) And yes, I am still squealing with delight every time I print onto fabric, haha...what am I like!!?!!?

I was worried that my unflattering review of Nap's 3 might lead to a flamewar. It's a legitimate concern. Allan helped put me at ease:
You heard it here first. If these hypothetical Nap's 3 facebook fans exist, then we'll make a Herzog-style documentary of Allan eating his facebook, which should be good since it's technically impossible.
Update: After School Naps <3 doesn't count!

Dad and dog!
I have a card to share today that I made using one of the fabulous images from DigiStamp Boutique. This is 'Dad Relaxing and Dog'.
I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from DCWV - La Creme Stack
I paper pieced his chair but next time I need to remember to use paper that isn't quite so busy!!
I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Simon Says Stamp - Make it Masculine
I love Promarkers - Paper Piecing
Pile it On - For a Man
There are some fabulous images at DigiStamp Boutique, perfect for all those Father's Day cards, and some have a huge 30% off!!
The plasterers are nearly finished now, so hopefully soon I will have a floor down and even maybe a kitchen being delivered next week. In the meantime I'm running out of cards in my folder and as my craft room is packed in boxes, my blog might be a little bit quiet for a while...:-(
Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog today and for all your comments and encouragement.

text: The July 8, 1990 Tina Tuner gave a memorable concert at the stadium on Molinón whom I had the great fortune to go and never forget. Breaking down the life of Tina Tuner is quite complicated. Tina was born in Tennessee (USA) in year 1939 with the name Annie Mae Bullock. His musical career began at the tender age of 18 when attached to which later became her husband Ike Tuner to join the chorus. In 1957, Tina was the star of this band called "Ike Turner & His King of Rhythm", but seeing the reception that the public gives Tina changed her name to "Ike & Tina Turner." One of the most famous songs of this duo was the song "A Fool in Love." In 1974, Tina Ike leaves. A year later involved in the movie "Tommy" in the role of Acid Queen. the late 70's, Tina recorded some albums for United Artists , but only if it succeeds, his dark figure until 1983, when his career takes more energy, caused mainly by the output of the song "Ball of Confusion." He recorded several tracks as "Let's stay together", "What's love got to do with it", his first number one in sales for three consecutive weeks. His next album was called "Private Dancer" and was released in 1984, which were very successful songs like "Better good to me" and "Help ", a version of the Beatles .

Booting the Windows XP CD Initial Setup Screen
Well open the CD drive, insert the Windows XP CD, close the drive, give the drive a moment to get up to speed, and push the reset button to restart the system. (As a general rule, try Alt+Ctrl+Delete to restart the system. If that doesnt work, use the reset switch. Alt+Ctrl+Delete is a Windows or DOS operating system command, and a new system without an operating system wont recognize it). Try not to use the on-off button to restart your system, because this is harder on the components.
Today, most mainboards support booting from the CD. And, most OEM software also supports booting from the CD. Installing an operating system is as easy as inserting the Windows CD and restarting the system. If your system doesnt support booting from CD, youll need to make a bootable floppy disk on another machine and use that to boot the new system.
With Windows XP, installing the operating system from the OEM CD is a snap. Upon restarting with the Windows XP CD in the drive, youre immediately taken through a series of introductory screens. First, a Welcome screen lets you know your PC sees the Windows CD (Figure 133). Youre all set to install Windows. Press Enter or Next to continue whenever thats the only option! However, if other options exist, take a moment to consider them before accepting the defaults.

Thinking of the state of the world today. It's hard not to feel an overwhelming sadness about this planet and it's people.
"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Albert Einstein
Feeling like I need to do more to help. I definately want to make this year more proactive in terms of community work and helping those less fortunate. Even more important though cleansing my heart of negative emotions, forgiving more, and creating a more positive world for my children to grow up in.
This photos was inspired by earth day and the project life theme #eyes. Happy earth day!

After a year of steady declines in home remodeling, the spring 2010 U.S. Remodeling Sentiment report published by www.remodelormove.com reveals a 13% increase in the number of homeowners who say they will remodel in the next 12 months. This increase follows a 5% increase in last year's spring 2009 report. The continuing upward swing in remodeling sentiment indicates that 2010 will show a strong increase in remodeling activity.
The spring 2010 Sentiment Report, a survey of 5,000 homeowners in the United States who are considering remodeling, also shows that the recession has had several impacts on U.S. homeowners. These include:
- The most popular projects in the past -- remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms -- have decreased in popularity as adding a bathroom has taken the honors of the most popular project. This makes sense since for many homeowners upgrading an existing room can be put off because it is often seen as a luxury while for many the addition of a bathroom is a necessity due to changes in the needs of the family.
- Interest in do-it-yourself projects, both the actual building as well as acting as their own general contractor, has remained steady throughout the economic downturn.
- Economizing on the cost of materials is growing in popularity at the same time as fewer homeowners are reporting they will use expensive materials for their remodel. The percentage of homeowners reporting they will use average-costing materials remains the same.
- The number of homeowners reporting they are "excited" about remodeling has climbed to an all-time high of 54%, which is primarily due to homeowners who aren't excited about remodeling choosing to put their plans on hold to wait until the recession is over. This may be a costly choice for homeowners since the cost to remodel now is as much as 20% lower than in 2006, according to a special cost to remodel study published earlier this year.

This is the second 8x10 sketch Shawn used on her blog! I had this photo of AC, his barn name, ready to scrap for four months. I was ecstatic when I received the February sketches to see this awesome sketch! I had no papers pulled to use and thought I'd use fall colors since the leaves were turning in the photo. November in Texas Upper Gulf Coast. I chose to use Lilly Bee Design and Jillibean Grandma's Lima Bean Soup with a little Bazzill cardstock thrown in from my scraps. I chose to use a few embellishments and alphas from my Paper Bakery October Kit along with some Prima from my stash.
All I can say is I'm so excited about this layout! The photo just pops and I cannot wait to show my Mom as it comes from her album of our horses. I know she will be pleased.
Abcar Ibn Tammen (Tammen x Zubaydahh) is pictured as a long two year old. His show record includes numerous Top Ten Yearling Straight Egyptian Futurity Colt at the Egyptian Event in 1987, Blue Bonnet Arabian Horse Club Futurity Champion and several Amateur Championships and Reserves.
Now everyone has to give a great big wave to Dept. of Homeland Security. AC's dam was bred & named by Tom McNair long time trainer of Glennloch Farms, Tomball, Texas. Glennloch has since been sold and is now a subdivision of houses. This was long before our government was able to kill the terrorist of the same name we purchased. The first layout I posted of "Zu" as AC's dam was called, I finally decided to not worry about it because it's not my fault she had the name or Tom's. By the way her name means 'by the book'. Tom felt her conformation so close to what Arabian Horse Type was suppose to be that he gave her the name. I accidently found out a week later as I went through the origins of visitors to our website I found DHS had visited! So I want everyone to wave hello and realize they are doing their job to keep our country safe!!! My hats off to DHS and a huge thank you! And whichever employee is looking into it this time, I hope you enjoyed a layout of a very special horse in our family! And laugh when you realize I'm just a person who loves my ranching lifestyle and I help feed our great country!
Thank you for taking a look at my layout and come join us at Nuts About Sketches!

Open Door Policy?
Legal, good. Illegal, bad. That's the whole immigration mess summed up.
I know I'm vastly over-simplifying things here, but I think it's time we see this issue for what it is: more heat than substance. The heat is that somehow a nation concerned with its borders has forgotten its past. It hasn't.
We are a nation of immigrants, after all. But we should not be a nation of suckers.
There is a process here for those who want to come here: "Welcome to our home" doesn't mean, "Break into our home."
It doesn't mean complaining about a lack of services for which you're not entitled, or programs for which you're not eligible. And it sure as heck doesn't mean taking to the streets of this country to demand still more from this country.
You're not a citizen! You don't get them! You become a citizen, have at them!
What's so complicated here?
What's complicated is our generous national heart. Generous to a fault, and now a major fault for our country.
There's nothing racist about targeting those who abuse a system meant to benefit all races. And there's nothing unfair about treating all legal citizens fairly. What's unfair is assuming those who didn't play by the rules are somehow able to rewrite the rules.
We are richer for those who have worked through this system. We are going broke paying for those who never even bothered in the first place.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) found himself being grilled by CNN host Soledad O'Brien on Monday about the claim President Barack Obama had gone on an "apology tour" — and the congressman was unable to name a single instance in which the president had apologized for the United States.
After the U.S. embassy in Cairo condemned an anti-Muslim film that mocked the prophet Muhammad and led to protests and the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya last week, GOP hopeful Mitt Romney accused Obama of "sympathizing" with the enemy. And other Republicans quickly followed by reviving a debunked claim that the president had spent part of his first term going on an "apology tour."
During a Monday interview on CNN, O'Brien called out King over the assertion that the attacks in Libya were a "logical result" of the president's apologies.
"Where do you see an apology?" O'Brien wondered. "You called it an apology tour. You said, 'the apologies.' What apologies are you specifically talking about?"
"I would say when he was in Cairo in 2009, when he was basically apologizing for American policies, saying American policies sometimes had gone too far," King explained.
"Never once in that speech, as you know, which I have the speech right here, he never once used the word apology," O'Brien pointed out. "He never once said, 'I'm sorry.'"
"Any logical reading of that speech or the speech he gave in France, in which he said the United States can be too aggressive," King insisted.
"But that's not apology," O'Brien pressed. "But everybody keeps talking about this apology tour and apologies from the president and I'm trying to find the words 'I'm sorry, I apologize' in any of those speeches, which I have the text of all those speeches in front of me. None of those speeches at all, and if you go to Factcheck.org, which we check in a lot, they'll say the same thing. They fact check this…"
"I don't care what FactCheck[.org] says!" King exclaimed.
"They're a fact checker," the CNN host laughed. "But they're a fact checker and I'm reading the speeches."
"Any common-sense interpretation of those speeches, the president is apologizing for the American position," King shot back. "That's an apology tour."
"I think plenty of people are interpreting it as a nuanced approached to diplomacy," O'Brien observed.
"That's where we have an honest difference of opinion," King concluded.
An Associated Press fact check last week determined that President Obama never apologized for the United States or expressed sympathy for the people who attacked the U.S. embassy in Libya.
"The claim that Obama repeatedly has apologized for the United States is not borne out by the facts, especially if his full quotes are viewed in context," Washington Post fact checkers wrote in 2011. "Note to GOP speechwriters and campaign ad makers: The apology tour never happened."

Woman taken from Oak Lawn home at gunpoint, forced to withdraw cash from ATM
This is a case in point that if this woman had a self defense weapon or weapons in her home, things might have been very different. Two attackers and two defenders, this could have been so different.
Woman taken from Oak Lawn home at gunpoint, forced to withdraw cash from ATM: "
A Dallas woman says she is not sure she'll ever go back to her Oak Lawn condo after a gunman took her from her bedroom Saturday night and forced her to withdraw cash from an ATM.
A second man held the woman's friend at the condo in the 2700 block of Hood Street near Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs Road, where he threatened to kill her if she did not cooperate. The women asked that their names be withheld out of concern for their safety.
The woman who was kidnapped said she had gotten into bed about 11 p.m. and her friend stepped outside to get something out of her car. That's when two men approached and forced the friend inside.
The man with the gun came into the condo owner's bedroom.
'I look up and there is a ... man walking in my bedroom with a gun pointed at my face telling me they have my friend downstairs and they want money,' she said.--Scott Goldstein/Reporter"

Thujone and Harry Potter
"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making," he began…."As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses….I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death….""Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?""For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite.
What is thujone you may ask? It is the terpene found in Artemisia absinthium. Sound boring? ..think again. It has had a controversial history, and even today can cause a furious response! Most recently wicked old thujone created outrage amongst the relgious right simply because of it's inclusion in JK Rowling's Harry Potter books.
"Harry Potter and his wizard friends lie, steal, break rules, disobey authority figures, and take revenge. Harry Potter also makes and uses drug potions, including the psychedelic drug thujone, which has been banned in the United States since 1915" Here we go 😉
"The wizards practice Hindu-type meditation "to clear the Inner Eye." There is swearing and violence. A three-headed dog mangles the leg of a professor; a mysterious figure drinks blood from a unicorn carcass; children are attacked and paralyzed; a dead cat is hung upside down by its tail. There are creatures called Dementors that "suck out people's souls." There are ghosts who haunt bathroom toilets."
Here is the pasage:
"I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses … I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death – if you aren't as big a bund of thunderheads as I usually have to teach. – The Potions Master."
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, p. 137
Did I forget to mention that thujone is the reason why absinthe is banned in the USA?
British book chain WH Smith has seen over 20,000 copies of a back catalogue paperback fly out of its 600 stores in five hours following the release of the final Harry Potter novel. To the surprise of staff, copies of Wormwood by GP Taylor, which had been chosen as "The perfect partner for Harry Potter," disappeared from the shelves

"Fantastic" new Office for British Heart Foundation
The British Heart Foundation have posted a review about their office in Mansfield via the officebroker.com website, commenting that the space is "fantastic".
Located in an attractive wooded area on the eastern edge of Mansfield, the property offers serviced office space and is home to the British Heart Foundation's North Region headquarters, which covers fundraising, event management and press activity for a number of regions including parts of the Midlands, the North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Isle of Man.
Founded in 1961, the British Heart Foundation funds research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of heart and circulatory disease, as well as studying preventative methods and providing support for people suffering from heart problems.
Linda Smith from the British Heart Foundation North Region team posted a review about their office, commenting that the best thing is the "light and spacious" office, which offers "good access and excellent management".
"The British Heart Foundation moved from one of the older buildings on the estate that we had grown out of into this purpose designed brand new office space which is fantastic," she wrote in her review. "We have moved the office around several times as the space gives us the flexibility to re-organise the internal space as our business moves forward and dictates change."
She added: "Overall working on Ransom Wood is great, it is picturesque, has a very nice restaurant and the Management Team are very responsive when needed."

The Smithsonian Insitution's Sidedoor podcast just came out with an episode all about the life and legacy of Paul Cinquevalli! Well worth a listen if for no reason other than to listen to the dulcet tones of Erik Aberg's voice.
Check it out!

Finally managed to get around to listening to this today white I was getting in my pelargoniums and taking cuttings. It was quite a good listen, even if it did give the listener the impression that nothing Cinquevalli did was gimmicked when some of it certainly was.
Surprised at Erik implying that the tricks were not gimmicked as he has stated here that he believes that at least some of the tricks were gimmicked. Here's the thread where we discussed this previously and an article I linked to that mentions how he might have done the billiard balance trick.
Little Paul - - Parent #
I think at least some of it was "editing for the sake of a good story@
erik aberg - - Parent #
This interview was over way sooner than I thought. I have not listened to it, so I do not know what parts they used, but we hardly even scratched the surface of Cinquevalli. They asked questions that were rather silly (for an example, what a member of the audience would wear), and kept interrupting me before I could come to any point. Hopefully, there will be a chance of discussing him properly in the future. In terms of Cinquevalli and gimmicked props, the point is that he claimed not to use them, and specifically pointed that out, as a difference to magic. What the actual reality was, can of course be discussed. The distinction between juggling and magic is clear after Cinquevalli, but not before.
Thanks. I totally understand how they could have quoted you out of context. It seems like Cinquevalli was working to make the distinction between juggling and magic, but then breaking his own rules. I totally understand that his main goal was one of entertainment and making a living though.

Wellcome Image of the Month: Microneedles
On 23 February 1954, a group of children in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania were the first to receive Jonas Salk's injected polio vaccine. Almost 59 years later, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed pain-free "microneedles" that have the potential to deliver not only vaccines but other therapeutics also. This work was published last month in the journal Nature Materials.
Our Image of the Month is this optical micrograph of four microneedles each approximately 0.5 mm in height. They are made from multiple layers or films of biodegradable polymers, the composition of which can be used to control the rate at which embedded active molecules are released. At the base of the needle is a water soluble layer (green) which rapidly dissolves after application to the skin for approximately 5 minutes. This painlessly deposits the microneedle tips (blue and purple) into the epidermis, where their cargo can then be released more slowly over days or weeks as required. An array of microneedles forming a 'patch' approximately the size of a fingertip could be used to replace traditional hypodermic needles for some applications such as certain types of vaccination. These patches could be self-administered and thus remove the need for specific medical training. Other advantages include pain-free injections and dry storage at room temperature. This is particularly important in areas where the need for cold storage can hamper widespread distribution.
Polio (Poliomyelitis) is a highly contagious disease caused by three types of poliovirus infection. The virus can attack nerves in the central nervous system, which in some cases can lead to irreversible paralysis and even death. In 1988, the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) which has led to a 99 per cent decrease in the number of polio cases worldwide. National governments, health organisations, charities and private foundations are all working together to eradicate polio from the world. The only other disease for which this has been achieved to date is smallpox.
