The Garvey Group Poised to Add More Multi-Color Long-Run High Quality Output With KBA
Thursday, November 10, 2005
Press release from the issuing companyThe Garvey Group, a network of facilities providing integrated services for the design, printing, internet applications and supply chain management of printed materials located throughout the Midwest, is announcing that its Sturtevant, WI location will soon have additional capabilities to handle long-run, high-quality, multi-color work after the installation of a new KBA Rapida 105 41-inch ten-color perfector sheetfed press with UV and hybrid ink capabilities in early 2006. "We wanted to respond to the needs of our corporate customers who expect us to apply the latest technology available to efficiently produce their jobs resulting in lower costs through reduced material costs, faster make-readies and the quickest throughput on the market today," says Dave Arnone, Garvey's sales manager. "We feel that the KBA Rapida 105 ten-color roll-to-sheet perfecting press will provide that platform by giving them the highest quality and flexibility to produce unique jobs in a short turnaround time. We'll be able to produce a straight ten-color job or a five-over-five perfecting job in one pass through the press." More benefits to the customer After diligently looking at other press manufacturers, the Garvey Group chose the KBA Rapida 105 ten-color sheetfed press because it is the most efficient, automated press available. The new press will be equipped with a roll-to-sheet option that will allow Garvey to use roll paper, which is cheaper than purchasing sheeted stock and pass those savings directly to their customers. The press also is equipped with a variable cut-off option that will also present cost-savings opportunities for their customers to enjoy. The new KBA Rapida 105 will be replacing two existing Garvey Group presses -- a Didde heat-set web press located at the Niles, IL facility and a Heidelberg Speedmaster 40" six-color straight press at the Sturtevant, WI operation. The new KBA Rapida 105 provides Garvey with additional automation to help produce client jobs in a faster, more efficient manner. The Rapida's computer control console allows Garvey's two-man press operation to control the entire press run from the feeder to the delivery. Color control can now be dialed in from the prepress department to efficiently set the color parameters to the client's exact standards. "Switching from the Didde web press to the new KBA Rapida 105 press is like jumping from a Kia to a Lexus," says Arnone. "We view this new press as a destination machine that sets us apart from our competition. Our goal is to be more productive and satisfy our existing customer base as well attract new clients." For the past several years, the Garvey Group has been investing in new equipment at many of its locations, including Sturtevant. The new KBA Rapida 105 ten-color perfecting press joins a KBA Rapida 105 41-inch four-color perfector sheetfed press that was installed in September 2004 at Sturtevant. With the installation of the KBA Rapida 105 four-color perfector press, the Sturtevant location replaced three older presses: a two-color 40-inch, a two-color perfector, and a six-color 25-inch sheetfed press. The KBA Rapida 105 four-color perfector press gave Garvey the flexibility of producing two-over-two jobs or straight four-color work and the ability to perfect on coated stock, something the firm could not do before. In addition, the Garvey Group installed a KBA Rapida 162 64-inch six-color sheetfed press with UV and hybrid ink capabilities in March 2004 at its Nile, IL. facility. "KBA has proven to us that they are serious about our business. The ongoing support our production team receives from KBA since the installation of the 105 four-color perfector last year really was an important consideration for choosing them again." Arnone said. Personalized consultative service "We pride ourselves on providing personalized consultative service to all of our customers," says Arnone. "We don't print one job and then move on to the next. Our goal is to be an advocate for our corporate clients and look at their entire business and find the most efficient means to not only print their product but manage the supply chain as well. Our corporate clientele can be mainly found in the Midwest states."

|China's ultra-modern Shanghai SynchrotronRadiation Facility
The meeting was hosted in the stunning city of Shanghai by the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP), and our first words should be to thank the Institute again for their extraordinary hospitality as well as for their polished management of an informative and enjoyable technical conference and exhibition.
|Big Physics indeed-- the view from inside
the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
Today's synchrotron applications are notable for their diversity and importance across fields as varied as semi-conductor process development and life sciences. As one example, their intense X-ray output is now a fundamental tool for investigating fine, complex structures in 3D at an atomic scale. In fact, groundbreaking research in protein crystallography using synchrotron radiation to reveal the architecture of proteins won Stanford professor Roger Kornberg the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2006. This is proving to be foundational to our advancing understanding of disease processes, with import ranging from biophysics to the design of advanced antibiotics.
|Kornberg's Nobel-winning
investigation of protein structure
was published in the April, 2001 issue of Science.
Precise optic and sample positioning--often in vacuum and often requiring sub-nanoscale controllability--is fundamental to the science performed at synchrotron facilities. Indeed, the MEDSI presenters' applications incorporated a wide range of motion mechanisms and methodologies including scanning, wavelength selection, gap adjustment, steering and focusing, seismic isolation and alignment automation.
Many of these applications involve exacting and specialized requirements: extreme stability, non-magnetic construction and complex configurations of multiple axes including mixes of motorized and piezoelectric actuation. Accordingly, as we were preparing our tutorial we included input and content from our global organization, which includes focused domain expertise at PI miCos. The resulting tutorial was truly the result of an intensive worldwide effort spanning many weeks.
|From the PI miCos catalog, a 5m spectrometer
subassembly for synchrotron
applications. Click to enlarge.
Our thanks to our hosts, the PI and miCos colleagues who contributed, and to the many dozens of conference participants who shared their expertise and enthusiasm for this exciting, important and productive field. Special thanks are also due to our colleagues at PI Shanghai for all their helpfulness, knowledge and friendship. For the first-time visitor, it was a treat to see how this member of PI's worldwide network has evolved and expanded into a formidable design and manufacturing resource for our customers in the area and worldwide. And finally, thanks to the sparkling city of Shanghai, with its friendly, industrious people and endless fascinations.

I love kingfishers and really like this particular image.
I matted and layered the paper printed from Pollyanna Pickerings British Wildlife DVD ROM from Creative Crafter's World onto dark turquoise mirri card and white card having first wrapped black ribbon around the lower half of the paper. I then attached a bow and some gems to the ribbon.
The main image was printed from the same DVD ROM and I matted this onto the mirri card which had been cut out using a Spellbinders heart circle die. I stamped the flying kingfisher using a stamp from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew collection and coloured it using Promarkers. I then glittered the wings.
The sentiment was created by using another one of the heart circle dies, a circle die, peel offs and a glittery button.
I would like to enter this into the follow challenges:
Paper Pretties - ribbon!

I love kingfishers too, and what a gorgeous image this is! It's beautifully set off by the kingfisher blue diecut, and I like the fact that embellishments are kept to a minimum so as not to detract from the image. A really lovely card. Thank you for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations this month.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the fabulous diecut circle beneath that pretty image and the way the other kingfisher is flying in over the diecut edge is perfect.

RESIDENTS in Formby are being warned about a winter disease that causes violent vomiting.
Now the cold months are here people are being urged to stay healthy and prevent the norovirus from spreading.
To reduce the risk people should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after visiting the bathroom, before eating and before drinking.
Washing hands can also prevent the spread of a range other infections and parents are advised to ensure children wash their hands thoroughly.
Anyone with the disease should stay off work and parents whose child has the illness should ensure their child stays off school for 48 hours after the symptoms have gone.
People should not prepare food until three days after symptoms have disappeared.
Householders are also advised to clean their toilet thoroughly and regularly.
Also, anyone who has vomited should cover it with paper towels, then clean the area with hot water, detergent and disinfectant while the room is ventilated to stop the infection spreading.
Professor Rod Thomson, NHS Sefton's consultant in public health, said: "We are encouraging everyone to follow the simple steps to reduce or shorten outbreaks of norovirus.
"So make sure you wash your hands thoroughly and often as this is the simplest way of stopping the spread of many infections including norovirus."
For more information on the norovirus visit the health protection agency website on www.hpa.org.uk or Sefton PCT's infection control specialist nurses on 0151 475 4024 or 01704 511641.

If you're someone who has a particularly large comic collection what do you do? Apparently you come up with the idea of talking about your collection on the Internet. In my weird magical adventures online I have always searched for an article that screams me. The Sequential Chronicles seems to be fitting. How strangely appropriate that I'm going to talk about New Avengers/Transofrmers for my first piece in this journey. These won't really be reviews in any normal sense of the word. Just me talking about my experience and my adventure with it. The journey will be a little strange and weird on occasion but roll with it. In this inaugural piece let's see how the New Avengers and Transformers get along. On with the roller coaster ride! The thrills, chills, and some giant robot fun along the way. Time to have some fun.
If you have ever seen my Twitter you know giant robots are part of my aesthetic. How appropriate that New Avengers/Transformers starts me on my collection journey.
I have had these four issues in my collection for awhile after discovering them at my local Half Price Books. Somehow these books slipped by me back in the day. I knew nothing about the story outside of some fun covers. I note the covers because there are some cool talents on them, Jim Cheung on #1, Jason Pearson on #2, Ed McGuiness on #3, and Tom Raney on #4, which are all fun to see. It's weird that not much has been said about it outside of an old interview Stuart Moore gave for IGN back in 2007 and that's it. It must not have done that well as I couldn't find anything on the Comichron for it in 2007. I guess it has become obscure over the years. Strange huh?
It's hard to believe that none of the comic sites have done something with this. Crazy huh?
Now the creative team for this book is as I mentioned Stuart Moore, who wrote the entire miniseries. Then this is where I get a little amused. New Avengers/Transformers is a Marvel and IDW crossover but then in issue three the art is done by Top Cow Productions, Inc. as artist Tyler Kirkham and inker Sal Regla worked there. Which technically means three different companies were involved in this. Yes I know Top Cow was just helping on art but I get a kick out of seeing three companies involved in this. Annette Kwok is the colorist for the series with Blond assisting on issue two and Todd Klein handles the lettering here. It's a solid team overall but prepare yourself as we dive into the story. It's going to get weird from here kids.
Two points to make already with New Avengers/Transformers: A solid team on paper but it gets a little messy on some aspects. Second point is that the story really is a mess but worth it, strangely enough.
I mean bless Stuart Moore's heart in having to deal with a crossover story like this, these are not easy to pull off. That this works as much as it does is amazing in its own right. The first issue is sort of your litmus test for the story. The New Avengers are acting all sorts of out of character and not going to lie, it was jarring. You are thrown straight into the story with the Avengers in Latveria and left trying to figure out what is happening. The characterization is a mess for the first and second issues as to how the Avengers relate to each other. Spider-Man and Iron Man are the only two that have some sort of consistent character throughout the first part of the story. It makes reading the first two issues frustrating.
Prepare yourself if you dive into this as it is a frustrating read for at least two issues. Though Spider-Man and Iron Man are fine so that's cool.
Of course when you learn the reason why the team is acting so weird it all makes sense. It's caused by some sort of Psycho-Prism that Doctor Doom had in his lab as to why the Avengers were so off kilter. It's strange and kind of silly but hey it works. That's how the Transformers come into play as the Autobots help in getting everyone calmed down. Then that's how you learn why the Decepticons are here. They are trying to get Energon and the Autobots are trying to stop them. Then there's the threat of war hovering around them as this is going on. A lot of moving parts to this crazy crossover.
You know even trying to streamline the story of this crossover is crazy in its own right.
As this is all happening Spider-Man gets captured and Megatron uses his abilities to supercharge the Decepticons for reasons not made very clear. I'm not going to spoil too much but you do get Iron Man in a cool giant robot suit and that's neat. The Autobots have their battles with the Decepticons in this too and Doctor Doom plays a role in a confusing but fun way. I think Moore was throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what stuck which fits for this story. I can only do this so much justice as some of this you just need to experience for yourself. Embrace the madness.
Isn't this a cool splash page?
Yeah I think it is a cool splash page by golly.
No I'm not going to spoil it all for you as well, I don't think I could do aspects of this justice. It's such an odd story that I was hesitant if I was going to make it through with issue one. Yet by issue four it wasn't too shabby. Not too shabby at all.
Now if you're wanting a detailed look into art and so on, Kirkham's art ranges from kind of rough to solid when it comes to drawing the robots especially. Regla's inking helps a lot in smoothing out the rough edges of Kirkham's pencils for sure. Kwok's coloring is strong throughout the four issues along with Blond's assist for #2 and Todd Klein's lettering is amazing as always. As the story itself serviced in bringing these properties together in a disjointed but fun way, at least by the end. Stuart Moore did well in making this work and also being sure to let the fellow members of his creative team shine via his script. It's a mess at points but a worthwhile adventure if I do say so myself.
Yeah I'm not writing these to replace the issues here. This is a loose summary into the four issues. Fair warning, Starscream isn't in this as I read in the IGN interview he was dead at the time. After we get past the lack of Starscream, I say give these a look. You won't find them on any digital market so you are either going to go back issue bin diving or buying them online at any fine online comic book store. The trade is out of print but you can find it via online sellers, I saw it for under $15. The single issues are the way to go here in my opinion, they are easy to get your hands on.
I cannot state this enough, go with the single issues if you can unless you find the trade for cheaper than $15. If you find this trade for ten bucks, sure go for it but otherwise stick with the singles.
This is the first of The Sequential Chronicles so let me know what you think out there in comic land. Tell me what works and what doesn't and so on. I'm still working out some stuff with this so any feedback is appreciated. Leave me a comment below, say hi to me on Twitter, and I will catch you all in the next part of this journey. Because the next part of this is an adventure into 80's cartoon wonderland, see you then.
(Side note: This is so my weird iCandy piece once more too. As in I'm likely the only person even remotely diving into this. This is my life.)

We'll be away in Cappadocia this Halloween so no trick or treating for us.
As a family we're not particularly attached to Halloween - neither my husband nor I grew up with it, as it just wasn't a big thing in France or the UK in the seventies and eighties. But where we live now, there is a sizeable American community, so there are parties and events every year and we usually take part and enjoy it.
So here's some crafty Halloween stuff in honour of the celebration we'll be missing.
This is a witchy pinata, recycled from a Christmas Angel. We actually made it for an Easter party but everyone commented that it would be better suited for Halloween, so...
It's not always easy to find whole pumpkins here, we usually buy them sliced, and when they're whole, they're often the pale green variety and huge. Last year we found one, so we got carving and Zombie school girl and witch boy were able to take a jack o' lantern to the party.
Finally, no Halloween is complete in our household without Doctor Who monsters. Here are some Dalek cookies Charlotte and a friend made:

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." -Abraham Lincoln
I find all too often people are afraid of asking things because they don't want to appear stupid, which is why I consider Ask A Stupid Question Day to be one of the most important non-holidays of the year. I've had way too many of my classmates tell me they are afraid to ask a question in class or answer one of the teacher's questions because they don't know absolutely everything about the subject and they don't want to look stupid. It's okay to not know something, and it's okay to be wrong. What's not very okay is to be afraid of learning because you don't want to admit you're not omniscient and infallible. This doesn't just apply to students in schools. Everyone runs into situations where they don't know something and they're with someone who does. And it's okay to ask a question. And if you're in a situation where you're talking to an expert and you're not sure about something, say it anyways, and maybe mention that you're not sure about it. If you're wrong, the other person will say so and you'll learn something and that's always good.
So although Abraham Lincoln might have said that it's better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt, I think he's wrong. I think it's better to speak out, because that's the only way you can learn something and stop being a fool.
Happy Ask A Stupid Question Day!

Social Networking Insiders Build Your Brand for Free
Dan Greenfield, blogger for Bernaise Source, offers some insight into tapping volunteer customer advocates:
On the marketing side, organizations like the Word of Mouth Marketing Association and companies like BzzAgent have emerged to help businesses find these pitchmen and pitchwomen. These volunteers are tapped to promote new products through their network of family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. They are upfront about their affiliation, honest about their opinions and devoted to their products. Companies get loyal customers and genuine advocates, and customers get a sense of accomplishment.Who's in your corner?
The same spirit that drives individuals to spread the word also motivates others to contribute to company sponsored social networks.
Lithium for example builds and manages customer support forums for some very large companies like AT&T and Dell. Through experience, they have developed a set of profiles or personas that show how a new community member becomes a regular, established contributor. A successful community needs a large numbers of contributors at different levels to be self-sustaining.

Name: Mikhail Daemonborn
Nickname: Blade Daemon
Age: ???
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Race: Ironborn Daemon
Height: 5'10
Weight: 500 Lbs (rough estimate)
Occupation: Adventurer
Personality: Blunt, crass, rude. Mikhail is not happy with his current situation, and tends to lash out at slight provocations. He is incredibly callous as well, and will care little for angering others or hurting them, physically, mentally, or emotionally. He is sympathetic only with those who are bound or cursed in some way, and will treat them slightly better than others, as he sees in them a fellow soul in suffering.
Mikhail is a being of iron and pain, hate and torment. Long, long ago an individual was misjudged within the Pyre, sentenced to torment unending within the Great Nether. But because he had been a simple smith, honest and true in life, he evaded at first much of the pain that heralds an arrival to the Great Nether – the curses that bound others here ignored him. But even though he was free of much of the pain that normally accompanied existence in the realm of damnation, he was not truly free. His sin had been pride, great and true in his work. Perhaps it had been this pride that made the Pyre judge him to be evil and needing punishment, or maybe the eternal forces working within made a simple error. But as this was his only sin, pride of iron, iron overtook him. It manifested within his being, dominating him completely, transforming him from a simple soul into a living mass of hellish metal, iron tainted by the forces of the Great Nether.
Gone was the simple smith, who forgot his own name in the initial torment of having iron pervade his being. Gone was the good and honest man who took pride in his work as a smith. In his place was Mikhail Daemonborn, forged in life anew within the Great Nether. The new being was but a babe in mind, the experiences of life ripped from him by the pain of his rebirth, a fresh slate waiting to be etched upon. Sadly for the new entity, his home was the Great Nether, the realm of never ceasing war and battle. Instead of learning to be a helpful and kind person, the new being only learned how to fight, how to survive. His iron form was forged into a weapon of pain and hate, instead of a tool to help others, to keep himself alive.
But being made of metal, knowing only to fight, helped the freshly born daemon live, and even thrive in his hellish home. When others would suffer as the unnatural heat struck them, he found himself to be more malleable, and learned to keep that as another advantage. When others would freeze from supernatural cold, he found himself hardening, becoming slow and ponderous, but even harder to damage, this too he learned to mimic. Where others had to rip weapons from their foes flesh to gain an advantage, he learned to form his own body into a weapon, rough clubs and sharp blades literally growing from his body as he fought to stay alive.
And while others would have to steal rest in the middle of the fighting and the hate, sometimes even burying themselves beneath the ground for a few moments of respite, Mikhail kept fighting, kept learning, kept growing. Living metal has no need for rest to recuperate. He learned to replenish himself by ripping the raw earth apart and consuming it, somehow gaining new metal to use for his form from the rough and rocky ground. He learned to fight at a distance by launching shards of metal from his hands, or larger spears from his palms, spears that resembled his bones, then reform them from the rest of his iron flesh. For many years – not that the passing of time meant anything to the battle born daemon – Mikhail only knew conflict and hate, battle and pain.
But even in the Great Nether, time passes, and unending conflict has an ebb and flow. Conflict would flow away from one area into another, creating almost lulls in battle in some places. In time, Mikhail carved out a place of rest, becoming so dangerous to all that many of the souls within the plane of torment would battle each other frantically to get away if they knew he approached. His iron form had become so much stronger, the constant war reforging the iron into something more, taking on more of the hellish metal and taint, becoming less iron and more… unnatural. Blows that would have once stunned others or knocked them away instead rent flesh, blades formed of his body took on impossible edges that cleaved through any defense they met. With his power, Mikhail grew arrogant not that he knew it, believing himself capable of facing any foe that could possibly exist within the Great Nether.
So he turned his interest inwards, waging a battle within himself. He knew now, by facing so many others, that he had once been something else, something less, and yet more. But what that was, who he had been, he didn't know any longer. This led to introspection, and Mikhail slowing down on his chaos and carnage, instead only reacting when others attacked him, thinking him weak. Now he learned new things, he learned defense, to make a dwelling of his own within the Great Nether, a small keep of metal that he formed of himself, replenishing from the ground below, nearly impenetrable. No openings, for a being of metal needed no nourishment beyond what he could take from the blood stained ground at his feet.
In his house of metal, Mikhail regained himself. Days, months, years blended together as the ironborn daemon tried to rediscover himself. Others would assault the strange dome that had appeared in the hellscape, and dash themselves against it, for Mikhail would respond by ignoring, or creating spears and blades from the metal exterior if they grew too dangerous. As time passed for him, the blood red metal that made up Mikhail's form altered, changing slowly to a fleshlike hue and his features changed, mimicking the form that was coming to him in his long forgotten memories. But more than just his appearance returned to Mikhail, he was also remembering just who he had been. The kind and simple man from before the Pyre, before his rebirth, was making himself known once more.
Eventually a new Mikhail emerged from his safe dwelling, and the newly 'good' daemon found himself disgusted by the conflict around him. When he had been human, he had helped make a town that was safe for those who came to it, a town of peace and prosperity. The devil of blades and metal took it upon himself to alter the plane of unending torment. Slowly he found those who were tired of their lives of pain and conflict, and worked with them to create a place of safety. Mikhail grew the walls and the homes for those who sought to be safe from pain and battle and wanted to rest, creating a 'town' called Haven within the Great Nether.
But the Great Nether is not meant to be a kind place, or a place of happiness at all. And when Mikhail and the others' work was noticed, not an easy task amidst the constant pain and bloodshed that masked everything around them, and even happened on their walls as Mikhail and a few others defended those who sought an escape, the greater powers that had control and governance over the Great Nether knew something had to be done. Beings within his comprehension but so far above Mikhail in power had had enough of even a small place of peace within the plane of punishment, and so descended upon Haven to end its existence. And of course, to punish the one who dared to defy them.
Appearance: Mikhail is lean and lithe despite his incredible weight, thanks to the fact that his very flesh is made of iron. In addition to his body being made of metal, the clothes he 'makes' or rather, imitates are also iron, though he applies a higher level of flexibility to them than to his normal flesh in order to make them seem more realistic. In order to keep things simple, his iron skin forms a thin layer over his legs, taking on a darker black hue that seems to absorb light. On his torso is a 'form' fitting shirt which is in reality a very thin layer of his being that is a light shade of silvery gray. To top this off is a dark grey duster coat that doesn't have any way of actually sealing shut if one is to look at it, and has a thin hood that normally rests on top of Mikhail's head. His actual physical appearance is of a rather pale man with glowing green eyes, one of the few outward signs at first that he isn't human. In order to keep as much of his form available for combative purposes, he also has long, thin black hair that reflects the light, ready to be manipulated in an instant if he needs it.
Metallurgy: Mikhail has an innate and uncanny affinity for metals of any kind. Upon continued examination he can discern the make of a metal item, what efforts and metals went into crafting it. He can identify any flaws or weak points in the metal object, including possible stress/fracture lines, and will also be able to learn ways of being able to reinforce the metal in key locations, or if it is an ore, the properties of said ore.
Combat: The majority of the memories left to the being that is Mikhail after he is banished to the Firmament are focused on one thing, and one thing only. Bloodshed. While Mikhail is skilled at surviving, his fighting style is brutal and wild, more like a beast than a human's. No fancy techniques lay in his arsenal, as he is about raw power and unrelenting attacks. This skill also affects his mind, as it pushes him towards conflict as a first option rather than a last resort.
Mikhail has one advantage as he is cast into the Firmament, a world he has not trod in unknown centuries. His very body is still the body he was blessed and cursed with when he entered the Great Nether after being judged upon the Pyre, a body made of Nether-Tainted iron. Stripped of the advanced techniques he learned in his long time of suffering within the Great Nether, Mikhail is limited to basic metal, the Taint is weak, leaving his body nothing more than normal iron. Gone is the unknown amount of alloys that once made up his flesh, garnered from millennia of consuming raw earth and ore, coated in blood. However, in order to make him feasible for the Firmament, the grand powers within the Great Nether gave him a core in his torso, a hot molten core that is actually capable of being permanently damaged. The core is slightly larger than a human heart, and rests in the center of his chest instead of off to one side, and burns brightly within his chest to anyone with heat detection or a way of seeing magic. His body, thus, is harder than a human's, retaining a surprising degree of flexibility for what feels like warm metal to the touch.
Mikhail can alter his metal flesh to a frightening degree. Not only can he alter his appearance if he desires, but he can also change his attire (which is actually a part of his body). The limitations of this manipulation have yet to be discovered by him, he can usually form anything his mind can imagine. However, at this time, thanks to the binds placed upon him, his flesh can only take on a new shape within a few feet of his core, though if he launches something (shards of metal in an attack) they will retain their shape even after leaving his current zone of manipulation. Four foot range from the center of his torso. Takes one post per foot of manipulation attempted.
Shards can only be launched twice per thread, and take a post to form before they can be launched.
Smithing: Mikhail has the inherent ability to be a consummate blacksmith. A preternatural affiliation with smithing lets him, if he ever turns his mind to it, craft wondrous objects out of any metal he is given to work with, as he can utilize his inherent metal manipulation to aid in his smithing work. It won't be as effective or as easy as manipulating his own form as he can't risk taking in the metal and tainting it with his own flesh, but it will allow for forging of items and weapons in situations where molding and and altering the metal wouldn't normally allow. (Temperatures too cold / hot, missing ingredients in the forging process. Requires a great deal of time to do - non-feasible for in thread writing, unless the thread is dedicated to it. )

Heidelberg Opens New Assembly Hall at Wiesloch-Walldorf Site
Monday, September 17, 2007
Press release from the issuing companySeptember 15, 2007 -- Joined by Baden-Württemberg state leader Günther H. Oettinger and prominent guests, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) today (September 15, 2007) officially opened the new assembly hall - Hall 11 - at the Wiesloch-Walldorf site. The hall measures 35,000 square meters (375,000 square feet) - equivalent to almost five soccer fields - and will be used to assemble a new generation of large-format presses, the Speedmaster XL 145 and Speedmaster XL 162. Heidelberg invested around 45 million Euro in this, making it the largest input of funds into the Wiesloch-Walldorf site for the last ten years.
"By opening our state-of-the-art assembly hall at the Wiesloch-Walldorf site, we are pressing ahead with the growth of the world's largest press factory," said Bernhard Schreier, Chief Executive Officer of Heidelberg. "Our highly qualified staff and innovative production processes will continue to represent quality mechanical engineering and cutting-edge technology in the press industry in the future too."
Construction of Hall 11 was completed in around 14 months by the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft HDM Neubau Halle 11", which consisted of Bilfinger Berger AG and Max Bögl Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG. The foundation stone was laid on May 15, 2006. Assembly is due to commence in the new hall at the end of September 2007. Heidelberg intends to expand its existing product portfolio upwards with the new Speedmaster XL 145 and Speedmaster XL 162 large-format presses that will be built in this hall. These new presses will support sheets twice the format of existing Heidelberg presses and can produce up to 40 A4 pages on the front and reverse sides of a single sheet.
"With the new format classes, we are looking to tap into new markets and, in particular, reinforce our commitment to packaging printing," explained Dr. Jürgen Rautert, Management Board Member for Engineering and Manufacturing at Heidelberg. The company plans to unveil the new format classes at drupa 2008 in Dusseldorf.
The assembly hall provides state-of-the-art logistics and world-leading series production for presses. The architecture of Hall 11 matches the products manufactured in Wiesloch-Walldorf - the entire hall being designed like a press, with paper feeder, printing units, and paper delivery. Heidelberg's image provided the inspiration for the architecture in Hall 11, emphasizing the quality of the presses produced there and the company's commitment to innovation.
The new Hall 11 represents a kind of "anniversary gift" for the site. At the same time as the new assembly hall was being officially opened, the company was also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wiesloch-Walldorf site. Currently the world's largest and most advanced printing press factory, it was officially opened in 1957. To commemorate the occasion, the company invited staff, relatives and friends to a family day. Some 40,000 visitors were welcomed to the 860,000 square meters (9,250,000 square feet) area over two days.

As the end of the year approaches, investors who own stocks that have fallen dramatically during 2012 are faced with the usual dilemma: Should they take their lumps and sell their shares at a loss, or should they hang on, hoping for a rebound? Ordinarily, the reward you get from tax-loss selling creates an extra downward push in November and December for beaten-down shares, offering an interesting buying opportunity for those who believe their long-term prospects are better than most of their peers think.
But thanks to an unusual situation this year, the tax-loss selling phenomenon may not take shape in the same way it usually does. As a result, with selling potentially deferred into 2013, you may not want to count on losing stocks bottoming out before the end of the year.

Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
RE: Proposed Rule: Implementation of Standards
Dear Mr. Katz:
We are pleased to submit this letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in response to the Commission's request, contained in Release Nos. 33-8186; 34-47282; IC-25920 (the "Proposing Release"), for comments on (i) the Commission's proposed rules prescribing attorney withdrawal and issuer reporting to the Commission of such withdrawal (the "Alternative Proposal"); (ii) the Commission's proposed rules prescribing attorney withdrawal and the attorney's notification to the Commission of such withdrawal (the "Noisy Withdrawal Proposal"); and (iii) the Commission's final rules, contained in Part 205 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implementing standards of professional conduct for attorneys (the "Final Rules").
As a preliminary matter, we note the Commission's statement in the Proposing Release that all relevant comment letters previously submitted on proposed Part 205 will continue to be considered by the Commission in its deliberations. To that end, we call your attention to our comments relating to the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal contained in our December 16, 2002 letter to the Commission and reemphasize our strongly held view that the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal is inconsistent with the public interest, is unnecessary and should not be adopted (or, if adopted, should be significantly revised and narrowed).
Overview and Summary
As noted in the Proposing Release, the Commission has proposed the Alternative Proposal in an effort to address the negative response received by the Commission on the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal - particularly the concern that "noisy withdrawal" would cause attorneys to breach their ethical obligations to maintain client confidences. The key distinction between the two proposals is that the Alternative Proposal places the "reporting out" obligation on the issuer rather than on the attorney. Although the Alternative Proposal manifests the Commission's attempt to improve upon its Noisy Withdrawal Proposal in light of the criticisms of that proposal, the Alternative Proposal fails to address the most significant and core concerns stemming from noisy withdrawal.
Specifically, the Alternative Proposal suffers from the same cardinal defect as the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal - that is, the Alternative Proposal, no less than the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal, will result in a fundamental shift in the nature of the attorney-client relationship away from the attorney as trusted advisor and navigator through compliance matters and towards the attorney as a potential judge, jury and, ultimately, an extension of the government's enforcement machinery. Instead of the attorney "blowing the whistle" himself or herself, as would be the case under the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal, the Alternative Proposal has the attorney handing the whistle to the issuer, and the issuer then will be required to blow the whistle itself, with the continued threat of the attorney blowing the whistle if the issuer refuses to do so. In either case, the potential is created for the attorney to impose his or her will on the client, backed by the threat, directly or indirectly, of summoning the Commission.
Under either paradigm, clients will be less likely to seek legal advice and will be less forthcoming with the information they provide to counsel when they do seek legal advice. The inevitable consequences under the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal or the Alternative Proposal will be the same:
If the Commission nevertheless decides to adopt additional "reporting out" rules in connection with Part 205, we have set forth suggestions as to specific changes that should be made to improve the rules contained in the Alternative Proposal, as well as additional comments on the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal. Further, in light of the Commission's request for comments on the Final Rules in connection with the potential adoption of either of the two proposals, we also provide additional suggestions to improve the Final Rules.
The Attorney-Client Relationship and the Public Interest
In our December 16, 2002 letter to the Commission commenting on proposed Part 205, we wrote at great length about the significant role played by attorneys in providing issuers with advice, assistance and judgment in complying with the requirements of the securities laws. These efforts are vital to the proper functioning of our public markets and serve not only the interests of issuers, but also those of the Commission and the investing public. We believe the Commission concurs with this view. See, e.g., Proposing Release, 68 Fed. Reg. 6,324, at 6,325 (Feb. 6, 2003) ("Attorneys also play an important and expanding role . . . ensuring compliance with applicable reporting and disclosure requirements, including requirements mandated by the federal securities laws.").
In determining whether and how to move forward with additional standards of attorney conduct, we again urge the Commission to recognize that the ability of attorneys properly to counsel clients in the conduct of their affairs in conformity with securities laws, fiduciary duties and similar laws is largely a function of the willingness of clients to consult with counsel, to provide counsel with full information and, when necessary, to engage in a robust dialogue and exchange of ideas. Full information is absolutely critical to the provision of quality legal services. Accordingly, the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal and the Alternative Proposal should be evaluated in light of whether they encourage and facilitate, are neutral toward or detract from the sharing of full information between client and attorney.
In large measure, the flow of information from client to attorney is the result of the trust upon which the attorney-client relationship is built. That trust, in turn, rests on a foundation of strict ethical obligations placed on attorneys and designed to ensure that such trust does not erode and endanger the benefits gained by society when clients confer openly and honestly with counsel in order to structure their dealings in accordance with applicable laws.
As we have previously written to the Commission, we believe the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal would materially and adversely alter the attorney-client relationship by casting the attorney as a potential whistleblower, causing the attorney to be viewed by the client as an extension of the government's enforcement arm and focused on his or her self-interest (i.e., career protection), rather than as a trusted advisor and counselor. The Commission states in the Proposing Release that it is putting forth the Alternative Proposal, as an alternative to "noisy withdrawal," because the Commission "does not want the rule to discourage issuers from seeking and obtaining appropriate and effective legal advice." Nevertheless, the Alternative Proposal, if adopted, would have precisely the same impact as a noisy withdrawal requirement.
Although the Alternative Proposal addresses the narrow concern that noisy withdrawal would require attorneys to breach their ethical obligation to maintain client confidentiality, the Alternative Proposal suffers from the same fundamental defect as the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal. In both cases, the proposals would intrude on the attorney-client relationship by creating the dynamic in which the lawyer, in effect, threatens to take a course of action if the client-issuer does not alter its conduct to satisfy the lawyer's view of what constitutes an "appropriate response." Although the Alternative Proposal does not require the attorney to notify the Commission, the attorney still effectively assumes the role of "whistleblower" by making the judgment that in his or her view an appropriate response has not been received and that he or she should therefore withdraw, thereby setting the events in motion that lead to Commission notification and, inevitably, Commission investigation of the issuer.
The different paths taken by the two proposals do not change the fact that both proposals have the same starting and ending points, i.e., the attorney's decision - made under the pressure of being second-guessed by the Commission in a potentially career-ending enforcement action - to withdraw from the representation and, following one form or another of "reporting out," the likelihood of a Commission investigation of the issuer. In either case, a fundamental change in the attorney-client relationship will occur and, as a result, clients will be less likely to seek legal advice and will be less forthcoming with the information they provide to counsel when seeking legal advice. Ultimately, compliance with the securities laws will suffer, confidence in the public markets will correspondingly diminish and the investing public will be gravely impacted. This is one of those instances where the proposed "cure" is far worse than the perceived "illness."
Additional Rulemaking is Unnecessary
The legislative history of Section 307 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"), under which Part 205 was promulgated, indicates that Congress only intended that Section 307 ensure that "attorneys are responsible for fully informing their corporate client of evidence of material violations of Federal securities laws."1 Under the Final Rules, the attorney is obligated to report evidence of a material violation to the issuer's chief legal officer ("CLO") or the CLO and chief executive officer ("CEO"). In the event that the attorney fails to receive an "appropriate response" from the CLO or CEO, the evidence of a material violation is reported "up the ladder" to the issuer's audit committee (or other independent committee or the full board). Thus, the Final Rules achieve the full objectives of Section 307 and senior officers and directors, now informed of evidence of a material violation, will exercise their business judgment to investigate such reports and take appropriate action. Although Section 307 permits the Commission to go beyond "up the ladder" reporting, a withdrawal and "reporting out" provision is not mandated by Section 307, is not required to achieve the Congressional aim and, in light of the negative impact that both of the "reporting out" proposals will have on the attorney-client relationship, is inadvisable and harmful.
Recommendations for Specific Changes to the Alternative Proposal
Although we hope the Commission will be persuaded that the Alternative Proposal does not serve the interests of issuers, the Commission or the investing public, set forth below are specific issues relating to the Alternative Proposal and our suggested revisions to address these issues.
1. Proposed § 205.3(d)(1): Exclude a Reporting Attorney When the CLO Refers the Report of Evidence of a Material Violation to the QLCC
As proposed, Section 205.3(d)(1) does not apply to an attorney who has reported evidence of a material violation to an issuer's qualified legal compliance committee ("QLCC"). In such case, the evidence has been provided directly to a committee of independent directors with the requisite authority to initiate an investigation and to recommend that the issuer take appropriate action. We believe that Section 205.3(d)(1) should be revised to exclude from its application an attorney reporting evidence of a material violation to the CLO when the CLO has referred the report to the QLCC. This modification provides consistency within the rule such that either route to the QLCC ends the obligation of the reporting attorney and is appropriate since, in either case, the QLCC will ultimately have the same responsibilities with respect to investigating any report and recommending appropriate action by the issuer.
2. Proposed § 205.3(d)(1)(iii)(A): Limit the Scope of an Attorney's Obligation to Withdraw
The Commission has specifically requested comments on the scope of the withdrawal to be required of a reporting attorney who has not received an "appropriate response." We believe that an unlimited withdrawal obligation would be unreasonable and unduly disruptive to companies that retain law firms to handle a diverse array of matters, many of which are unrelated to the securities laws, fiduciary duties or similar laws. In particular, many companies have determined that they benefit - in terms of quality of the representation, service and cost - by utilizing the services of a small number of law firms rather than spreading the work across numerous firms. If a reporting attorney's law firm is required to withdraw from all matters in which it represents the issuer, a significant portion of the issuer's legal work could come to a standstill and cause irreparable harm to the issuer and its shareholders. The resulting burden on issuers, in terms of both the time and expense required to hire successor counsel for numerous matters, for such counsel to sufficiently transition in so as to effectively represent the issuer and to deal with the consequences of the attendant delays, would be enormous if not ruinous.
We believe an appropriate limitation on the scope of the attorney's withdrawal obligation is to require withdrawal only with respect to (i) the matter to which the evidence of a material violation relates (if the reporting attorney is working on such matter) and (ii) matters on which the reporting attorney is appearing and practicing before the Commission in the representation of the issuer other than representations involving Commission administrative proceedings, investigations, inquiries, information requests or subpoenas. Accordingly, the withdrawal obligation would not apply to other matters on which the law firm is representing the issuer.
3. Proposed § 205.3(e): Permit an Issuer to Not Disclose an Attorney's Written Notice of Withdrawal Under Certain Circumstances
Under the Final Rules attorneys are required to make judgments regarding whether they have become aware of evidence of a material violation and whether the issuer has provided an appropriate response within a reasonable period of time. The Alternative Proposal would require further judgment as to whether withdrawal is required. Each of these judgments must be made by the attorney at the risk of being second-guessed by the Commission. As a result, an attorney fearing that a mistake could jeopardize his or her career or professional reputation may err in the direction viewed as less likely to result in Commission action against the attorney. Such defensive thinking - at odds with the attorney's ethical obligation to put his or her client's interests first - may result in a reporting attorney "jumping the gun" on withdrawal by not providing for a reasonable amount of time to allow an issuer to develop an appropriate response. In light of these significant concerns, issuers need the protection of a "back-stop" to address situations in which attorneys act unreasonably or hastily.
In response to the Commission's specific request for comment, for the reasons stated above, we believe the rules should permit an issuer to not disclose an attorney's written notice of withdrawal where a committee of independent directors determines, based on the advice of counsel not involved in the matters underlying the reported material violation, that (i) the attorney providing such written notice acted unreasonably in providing such notice or (ii) the issuer has, subsequent to such written notice, implemented an appropriate response.
4. Proposed § 205.3(f): Prohibit a Reporting Attorney from Informing the Commission that the Attorney has Provided Notice of Withdrawal in the Event the Issuer is Permitted to Not Disclose Such Notice
As a corollary to the Commission's request for comment described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Commission requested comment on whether the attorney should be permitted to inform the Commission that he or she has withdrawn when the issuer's committee of independent directors finds appropriate circumstances to relieve the issuer of its disclosure obligation. Because a reporting attorney's notification to the Commission, even if done confidentially, will likely set off a series of events, including an investigation by the Commission, which inevitably will require the issuer to expend significant resources and time, and ultimately may require public disclosure that may unnecessarily sully the reputation of the issuer, the protection against an attorney acting unreasonably or hastily is incomplete without the ability to prohibit the attorney from notifying the Commission. If an attorney acting unreasonably or hastily could withdraw and, notwithstanding an appropriate finding by a committee of independent directors, ultimately cause serious injury to the client's reputation and to investors by creating the false impression that a material violation is ongoing or about to occur, the proposed revision to Section 205.3(e) described above would be of little benefit. Accordingly, in the event a committee of independent directors determines, based on the advice of counsel not involved in the relevant matters, that the attorney providing such written notice acted unreasonably in providing the notice or the issuer has subsequently implemented an appropriate response, the issuer must have the ability to provide written notice to the reporting attorney of the committee's determination, which should then preclude the reporting attorney from informing the Commission of his or her notice of withdrawal.
Additional Recommendations for Specific Changes to the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal
As stated above, we believe the Commission has achieved the goals of Section 307 of the Act without adopting either the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal or the Alternative Proposal. If the Commission nevertheless decides to adopt the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal, we again direct the Commission to the comments contained in our letter to the Commission, dated December 16, 2002, and we recommend the following additional modifications.
1. Proposed § 205.3(d)(1): Increase the Evidentiary Threshold for Noisy Withdrawal
Although we believe a noisy withdrawal requirement to be detrimental to investors and unnecessary to achieve the Congressional aim of Section 307, should the Commission adopt the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal, noisy withdrawal should be required only when the reporting attorney reasonably concludes that there is substantial evidence of a material violation that is ongoing or is about to occur and is likely to cause substantial injury to the financial interest or property of the issuer or of investors (i.e., the threshold for withdrawal under the Alternative Proposal).
We believe that this heightened trigger for noisy withdrawal achieves a more appropriate balance, given the importance of the attorney-client relationship and the detrimental effect "noisy withdrawal" will have on that relationship. Modifying the trigger from an attorney "becoming aware of evidence" to "concluding that there is substantial evidence" of a material violation provides a greater safeguard against intrusion into the attorney-client relationship.
2. Proposed § 205.3(d)(1): Exclude a Reporting Attorney When the CLO Refers the Report of Evidence of a Material Violation to the QLCC
As described above in connection with the Alternative Proposal, we believe once a report of evidence of a material violation has been referred to the QLCC, whether reported directly by the reporting attorney or referred by the CLO, the reporting attorney should be relieved of any further obligation under Part 205. In either situation, the QLCC has the same responsibility to initiate an investigation and recommend appropriate action. Thus, Section 205.3(d)(1) should be revised accordingly.
3. Proposed § 205.3(d)(1)(i)(A): Limit the Scope of an Attorney's Obligation to Withdraw
As discussed above in connection with the Alternative Proposal, we believe that the scope of the attorney's obligation to withdraw should be limited to certain prescribed matters. As stated above, we believe that withdrawal from all matters on which a law firm represents an issuer is unduly burdensome and disruptive, particularly given the time and expense of hiring successor counsel. Accordingly, we would propose that withdrawal be limited to (i) the matter to which the evidence of a material violation relates (if the reporting attorney is working on such matter) and (ii) matters on which the reporting attorney is appearing and practicing before the Commission in the representation of the issuer other than representations involving Commission administrative proceedings, investigations, inquiries, information requests or subpoenas.
4. Proposed § 205.3(d): Relieve Attorneys of the Withdrawal Obligation Where the Attorney Is Prohibited from Doing So by a Court or Other Authority
Should the Commission adopt the Noisy Withdrawal Proposal, we believe it would be appropriate to incorporate therein a provision similar to Section 205.3(d)(2) of the Alternative Proposal. Such a provision affords attorneys the necessary protection when a withdrawal obligation under Part 205 conflicts with an order of a court or other authority with jurisdiction over the attorney prohibiting withdrawal.
Additional Recommendations for Specific Changes to the Final Rules
The Commission has requested comments on the Final Rules in connection with the potential adoption of either of the proposals. In response to that request, set forth below are suggested revisions to the Final Rules.
1. Adopted § 205.3(c)(2): Specifically Provide That, in the Event the CLO Refers a Report of Evidence of a Material Violation to the QLCC, the Reporting Attorney Has Satisfied His or Her Obligations Under Part 205
Section 205.3(c)(1) provides that an attorney who reports evidence of a material violation to the QLCC has satisfied his or her obligations under Part 205. We believe that Section 205.3(c)(2) should be modified, consistent with Section 205.3(c)(1), to provide that the reporting attorney has satisfied his or her obligations under Part 205 in the event the CLO refers a report of evidence of material violation to the QLCC. As described above, a report that has been referred to the QLCC, regardless of whether it is made directly by a reporting attorney or indirectly via a referral from the CLO, has arrived at a committee of independent directors authorized to initiate an investigation of the report of evidence of a material violation and to recommend appropriate action. As a result, in either case, the reporting attorney should be relieved of any obligation to assess the issuer's response, report up the ladder and, potentially, withdraw from the representation.
2. Adopted § 205.3(b)(7): Expand Its Applicability So That an Attorney Investigating or Asserting a Colorable Defense is Relieved From His or Her Reporting Obligation if Retained by the Audit Committee or the Full Board
The Final Rules provide an attorney relief from his or her reporting obligation in connection with evidence of a material violation if such attorney is retained by the CLO (who must then report to the audit committee or full board) or the QLCC to investigate a report of evidence of a material violation or to assert, if one exists, a colorable defense thereto. However, the Final Rules fail to address the scenario in which such attorney is retained by the audit (or other) committee or the full board (either following a report "up the ladder" or following an initial report that bypasses the CLO and CEO because the attorney believes reporting to such persons would be futile) to investigate or assert a colorable defense to evidence of a material violation. We believe that the same rationale that resulted in the adoption of Sections 205.3(b)(6) and (b)(7) applies equally to the audit (or other) committee and the full board. Accordingly, we recommend expanding Section 205.3(b)(7) so that it applies to an attorney retained by the QLCC, the audit (or other) committee or by the full board.

Oil of oregano may help fight bacterial and fungal infections, remove parasites and treat sore throats. While some research indicates that oil of oregano is effective at killing intestinal parasites, there is insufficient scientific evidence to support the majority of the product's claims, as of 2015.
Naturopathic medical practitioners use oil of oregano to treat health issues including asthma, bronchitis, heartburn, menstrual cramps and athlete's foot. Some people also use it as an insect repellent or a treatment for insect bites. Oil of oregano contains some chemical compounds that may aid in reducing respiratory spasms as well as increasing bile flow to improve digestion.
Some clinical studies have indicated that regular ingestion of oregano oil for a prolonged period of time may help convert "bad" cholesterol into "good" cholesterol in patients with pre-existing high cholesterol. Oregano oil taken orally over a period of six weeks kills the intestinal parasites Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba hartmanni and Endolimax nana.
Oregano oil is generally safe for consumption when taken occasionally. In medicinal amounts it may cause minor stomach or skin irritation. Pregnant and breast-feeding women should consult a doctor before taking oil of oregano in medicinal amounts, as there may be a higher risk of side effects.
