St. Clara's Manor celebrates its volunteers
Album 3
on photos below to enlarge.]
[April 10, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
According to Tipton, there are
more than 40 volunteers who give their time and talents to St.
Clara's Manor
and its residents. She commented that what they offer of
themselves is priceless, and it means more than they will ever know
to the residents as well as the staff.
Not all the volunteers were
available to attend the Monday meal, but they still nearly filled
the chapel at St. Clara's. Among those present were Karen Birnbaun, Mary Fuller, Joyce Grimsley, Eleanor Gunderman, Sandi
Hall, Shirley Klink, Ruth Post, Lyle Read, Phyllis Read, Toni
Reifsteck, Sandy Sanders, Marilyn Schneider, Becki Shreves, Mary
Ellen Thorton, Lillian Twist, Mary Welch and Sandy Wilmert.
Before dessert was served,
Tipton spoke to the group and then announced the volunteer of the
year. She began by describing the person, and it only took a
couple of hints for everyone to know it was Joyce Grimsley, except
maybe Joyce.
Grimsley came forward and
accepted the plaque presented by Tipton. She commented that
she was surprised to be the one chosen and thought there were many
in the room who deserved the recognition. She thanked Tipton
and everyone else before returning to her seat.
Immediately afterward, the
hostesses sliced up a cherry-lime cake with tons of lime-green
frosting. Of course the first piece was served to the
volunteer of the year.

Jackson Wells
New Zealand
As the 4th member of the most talented family in freeskiing, Jackson has many shadows to outshine; yet he's been doing so with ease.
Also known as "Wacko", the youngest Wells has crafted his own path in skiing that is defined by unique trickery and unmatched style. Whether styling out on hefty urban features or going massive in Big Air contests, Jackson's skiing appears to be effortless. Claiming second place at the Jossi Wells invitational at the start of this season and landing the first ever switch quad cork 1620, it looks like this 18-year-old's time to truly shine is about to begin.

Fall inshore reds are schooling and looking to bite your spoon. I get emails asking my favorites.
Head to Cape Tool & Tackle or Economy Tackle and try my favorite set up. Ask for a handful of WAHOO Redfish Key gold hammered spoons, also grab a box of OWNER Stinger Treble Hooks (ST-66TN 4X - #4) (model # 5666-079) and head home.
At the bench, take off the feathered treble hook and replace with the non-feathered and much stronger OWNER treble. Some like feathers some don't. For me, I like flash and a strong treble hook. I've lost too many big reds to the supplied light wire hooks and my non-feathered hooks still seem to catch a lot of redfish.
Article Photos
If it's weedy try the classic Johnsons Spoon or go low and slow with a Nemire Red Ripper.
Fish them on a 7 1/28 1/2-foot medium light limber rod with 1520-pound braid. Top with a 20-pound fluorocarbon leader. Tie line to line or better, use a tiny swivel to connect your leader. No, not a cheap, giant offshore swivel, fish have eyes too, you know! Use only SPRO swivels. We use the 35-pound test model. Tiny, strong, and I've never had a failure with one.
This rig will cast a mile and hook and hold big reds. When searching for reds covering ground is key. You won't find a better search bait or a better lure choice once you've found a school.
Fall also brings two of my favorite light tackle sport fish, the mackerels and bonito. Light spinning reels and fly rods are the best way to enjoy these fun fish and once located can be caught on every cast. If you don't see birds actively working a bait school or just sitting on the surface troll the area with small spoons or jigs till you find them or anchor and chum them into a frenzy at boat side.
A med 7-7 1/2-foot spinner with some half-ounce white bucktails and a school of 15-pound mini tunas in September or October? I'm in hog heaven as the drag screams and screams.
If anchored and fishing Spanish macs, always have a sleeper rod working for you. Put out a bigger rod with a large ladyfish, blue runner, whatever you have for that 50-pound kingfish roaming around the area. Don't set that drag too tight or you'll have a pulled hook.
If you happen upon a school with a boat or two enjoying the fast fishing don't be the knucklehead that motors right into the feeding frenzy putting the school down and signaling game over for the other anglers. Stay back and pick at the edges of the school. Play nice.
Because Spanish are such willing biters, this is a great time of year to get the kids that have "short fishing attention span syndrome" involved in outdoor activities. With a fish a minute they'll soon forget about blowing up, dismembering, and shooting their computer game enemies and actually enjoy real time, life. No experience needed. Round up a neighborhood crew and take them on a mackerel mission with a prize for the biggest and smallest. Their parents will love you as well.
Attach a short piece of wire leader to your mono leader with an Albright knot. Use the Haywire twist to attach your lure or your hook. Don't like messing with wire, then go to a straight 40-pound fluorocarbon leader and get more bites than wire, but also lose more tackle and fish. Toss out a topwater plug and retrieve with a fast erratic action for some spectacular hits.
Fall: great weather, tarpon to tuna, grouper to kingfish, reds, trout, and snook. With miles of year-round flats, canal, river, backcountry, pass, and offshore fishing, it's good to live in Cape Coral!

Maps and Plans
This database is comprised of maps from Record Series A-204, which consists primarily of copies of lotting plans, though there are some originals. The lotting plans divided land among the proprietors of the town who were originally granted the land.
This database does not include all the maps or lotting plans available at the State Archives. Additional lotting plans are available in the Surveyor General's Papers (Record Series SE-132) and John W. Chandler Records and Atlas (Record Series A-001).
To search lotting plans located at the Vermont State Archives, search from a list of current county and town names or from a list of historic place names. A town name only appears in the lists below if a lotting plan is available.

Q: Why do I need aquatic plants in my water garden? When should I get them?
Melissa – Sedalia, MO
A: It's a water garden, not a vegetable or flower garden, right? So why do you need plants in your pond? What purpose do they serve? Well, even if you don't have a green thumb, there are some very good reasons why plants belong in your pond—four of them, in fact.
- Fish Cover: First of all, floating plants like water lilies and water lettuce provide your pond's inhabitants cover from predators and bright sun. Your koi and goldfish will appreciate the safety and shade those leaves provide, particularly when a heron comes to visit!
- All-Natural Water Filter: Bog, floating and underwater plants, like water hyacinth, parrot's feather and irises, naturally filter the water, too. They're nicknamed "nature's water filter" for a reason: They remove excess nutrients from the water while releasing oxygen during photosynthesis.
- Habitable Habitat: Plants also create a perfect habitat for your aquatic life—both above and below the waterline—by providing food and shelter. Fish and snails hang out around the leaves and stems, frogs hunt for bugs and hide in the shade, and birds and insects flock to the flowers for nectar.
- Aesthetics: Aquatic plants' flowers and greenery make for some nice scenery for you, too. Imagine water lilies and irises bursting with color, and curly corkscrew rush and lizard's tail softening the outline around the pond. Not a bad view while enjoying a balmy spring evening!
Even though Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring, it's still cold outside—too cold for plants. But you can still start thinking about cultivars you'd like to grow in your water garden!
You could head down to your local water garden retailer and check out their selection, but a better option is to order plants via mail order. Simply flip through your favorite mail-order nursery catalog or check out the assortment of aquatic plants at The Pond Guy®. Place your order and voila! Your aquatic plants will be delivered in the spring.
In many cases, if you place your order early the nursery will hold your order until the weather in your area is suitable to grow the plants. Another benefit of having your plants shipped: They'll be less expensive because you're not purchasing a full-grown potted plant. Once they arrive, they'll need some time to grow—but once they get growing and blossoming, you won't even know the difference!

Are you spending hours wondering what presents to give for Christmas? Is the recipient too young for this, too old for that ….. and how could you possibly impact his or her future life meaningfully beyond a few hours?
Do you have one of the following on your list:
- A person close to or in retirement with no hobby beyond golf,
- A person facing the "empty nest" problem,
- A person who enjoys a challenge but has not found one,
- A person who loves history,
- A person who loves history yet can't connect their ancestry to that history?
Here's a thought.
Genealogy is one of the most popular hobbys in the world. It is a hobby deeply connected to history. A hobby requiring logic, research and organizational skills. It inevitably allows one to meet and discuss with many new friends and cousins a matter of interest to both – their ancestors or methods of research.
Most important, it is a hobby which allows one to leave a meaningful legacy for children, grandchildren and generations beyond. Memories go soon; the written word remains forever.
So ….. why not give a copy of the book for sale on this web site entitled "Getting Started in Genealogy, or, How To Leave a Legacy and Have Fun Doing So".
The impact on the recipient could be enormous, could involve the entire extended family and as said, leave a meaningful legacy.

// JAIME PUFFER, Montage Laguna Beach Director of Catering
Jessica Claire photography is one of my favorite photographers to work with! Her work is stunning in every way. Jessica Norwood is professional and wonderful to work with. Her photographs are simply timeless and every couple who has worked with her has loved their experience with her and of course their wedding photos.
I was referred to Jessica through a professional photographer friend (which speaks volumes in and of itself). All it took was a little research for me to quickly realize that she's one of the best in the field. And after getting a sense of her personality and process over the phone, I was sold. Despite the fact that she was on the opposite coast and our wedding was in another country, Jessica was the only photographer I would consider to capture our wedding - and I'm so glad that she did! Jessica was creative, flexible, efficient and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated that from the initial stages of planning through to the final album choices, she offered insight and advice from her vast experience while still being flexible and open to our ideas and preferences. And my husband appreciated that she made our portrait session quick and painless!
// JEANNIE SAVAGE, Wedding Planner, Owner of Details Details
A lot of photographers get the shot. To make a real impact it takes more than that.....Jessica's perceptive technique and her eye for style combine with her understanding of lighting and post production to record sharp and timeless memories.
Jessica has an absolute mastery of light. She is always able to capture a stunning image – even in less than perfect conditions. She has an innate ability to put you at ease, making the shoot seem effortless… and the outcome breathtaking.
I chose Jessica Claire before I chose my husband. I trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is the perfect combination of relaxed, fun, funny, confident, direct, and unfailingly professional. I treasure all the photos we have from her--from our engagement session, to our rehearsal dinner, to our wedding, to our newborn shoot!
Jessica was a consummate professional, her photographs were flawless, and her vision for our wedding (and the most beautiful way to capture our day) was impeccable. She made us feel at ease throughout the day and organized our family, friends and guests without hesitation in order to make the most of her time with us. We remarked at her use of lighting (both natural and interior), the framing of each photograph and the overall composition of each photograph. Above all else, Jessica is a wonderful person and we absolutely adore her!

This Saturday, Montreal pop enchantress Grimes will play the free show Make Music Pasadena in Old Town Pasadena, at 5 p.m. on the Playhouse District Eclectic Stage at 23 S. Madison Ave. (see the whole schedule here). She joins an impressive lineup, which this year includes indie pop stars Cults, psych-dance band The Chain Gang of 1974, and lots of local heroes like Dam-Funk (see photos of his Amoeba DJ set), Electric Guest, Dengue Fever, Grouplove, So Many Wizards, The Lonely Wild, NO, The Happy Hollows and more.
Grimes aka Claire Boucher stopped by Amoeba to pick up a few records and DVDs, and her choices aren't necessarily what you'd expect. No K-pop and light on obscure electronica (save for Balam Acab's Wander/Wonder), Boucher instead opted for guilty pleasures — a couple of Blink-182 and Justin Bieber DVDs, a T.A.T.U. record, that sort of thing. Having watched this thing a couple of times now, I'm most taken with Boucher's ease and candor as she talks about really uncool music many of us secretly like.
Watch the Grimes video on YouTube.

Campaign wheels for GOP candidate Stroud differ slightly from Romney's ride
[media-credit name="Kurtis Lee/The Denver Post" align="aligncenter" width="495″][/media-credit]
Danny Stroud pulled into a parking-lot near Sports Authority Field at Mile High in a "campaign bus" of his own Wednesday afternoon.
"It's a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle that my brother and I restored last year," said Stroud, a Denver Republican, who is challenging incumbent Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette in the 1st Congressional District. "It's a great campaign car."
Stroud arrived to hear Ohio Sen. Rob Portman — rumored to be a favorite on Mitt Romney's list of vice presidential candidates — deliver a speech to a small group of GOP supporters. It was one of several stops the Romney campaign bus made along the Front Range Wednesday.

Perrow and Normal Accidents
Perrow's theses is that in any tightly coupled system - in which unexpected interactions can happen - accidents WILL happen, and they're NORMAL.
Also, he states that technological steps taken to remedy this will just make matters worse.
Perrow and IT systems
I have freely translated Perrow's thoughts into the following:
IT systems are tightly coupled. A change - a patch, a new application, or an upgrade - to a layer in the stack can cause accidents to happen, because they generate unexpected interactions between the components of the system.
This is normal and expected behaviour, and any technological gear added to the technology stack in order to minimize this risk will make the system more complex and therefor more prone to new accidents.
For instance, I find that two of the most complexing things you can do to an IT system are clusters and SAN's.
These impressive technologies are always added in order to make systems more available and guard against unexpected accidents.
Hence, they will, in and by themselves, guarantee other normal accidents to happen to the system.
Complexing and de-complexing IT systems
So you could say that it's a question of complexing or de-complexing IT systems.
I have found four situations that can complex IT systems (I'm being a bit ironic here):
1. To cover yourself (politics).
2. Exploration.
3. SMS decisions.
4. Architects.
1. Reason One: To cover yourself (politics)
You might want to complex systems in order to satisfy various parties that you depend on or who insist on buying certain things they've heard about at vendor gatherings:
"Yes, we've done everything humanely possible, including buying state-of-the-art technology from leading vendors and asking independant experts to verify our setup".
This is known as CYB (Cover Your Behind).
2. Reason Two: Exploration
Ah, the urge to explore unknown territories and boldly go where no man has ever gone before...
Because you can.
The hightened awareness thus enabled might be A Good Thing for your system and your customers.
It could also create situations that you and others find way too interesting.
Reason Two is often done by men, because we love to do stupid or dangerous things.
3. Reason Three: SMS decisions
A third reason for complexing IT systems could be pure ignorance in what is commonly referred to as Suit Meets Suit (SMS) decisions - where a person of power from the vendor side with no technical insight talks to a person of power from the customer side with no technical insight.
These SMS situations tend to cause considerable increases in the GNP (just like road accidents and fires) of any country involved because of all the - mostly unneccessary - work following.
The costs to humans, systems and users can be enormous. Economists tend to love it.
4. Reason Four: Architects
A fourth reason for complexing IT systems can be architects. Don't get me wrong: There are many good IT architects. The very best ones, though, tend not to call themselves architects.
One of my dear friends once stated that an architect is often a developer that can't be used as a developer any more. Very funny.
However, what I have witnessed myself is that the combination of getting further away from the technical reality and getting closer to the management levels (the C class, as it were) tend to make some architects less good at making architectural decisions after a while.
That's where the vendors get their chance of selling the latest and greatest and thus complexing new and upcoming systems.
Summary: The end of reasoning
Four reasons must be enough. There are probably more, but I cannot think of them right now.
Anyway, imagine what savings in costs and worries you can obtain by moving just a notch down that steep slope of complexity in your system.
You might be able to de-complex your system to a degree where it becomes
absolutely rock solid and enormously available.
That should be our goal in the years to come: To help our customers de-complex their systems, while of course trying everything we can to support those who chose to complex theirs.

Last week I admitted being overly zealous upon spotting the first canned pumpkin of the season. You know, buying six or eight cans of the stuff in October only to have it collecting dust in my pantry in February.
Here's what I didn't tell you: Sitting next to those cans of pumpkin are three boxes of vacuum-sealed chestnuts. After waiting weeks for the them to show up at Trader Joe's last November, I bought four boxes. Then my mom sent me four more in a Christmas care-package. Eight boxes of chestnuts is too much for anyone.
Chestnut stuffing is a decidedly Thanksgiving-only food, so over the last few weeks, we've enjoyed savory chestnut pancakes, easy pasta with chestnuts, pancetta and marsala wine, and lots of butternut squash and chestnut soup. With 20 chestnuts per batch, this soup is ideal for using up those leftover chestnuts. You'll love the scents of spicy cinnamon, nutmeg and fresh sage wafting through your kitchen as the soup bubbles away, but not as much as you'll love the creamy texture and rich, soothing flavors. Although this soup is delicious the day it's made, it's even better the next day and makes tasty leftovers.
I actually have three more large butternut squash sitting on my counter top waiting to be used. Maybe I should go to Trader Joe's and see if they have anymore chestnuts.
Velvety Butternut Squash and Chestnut Soup
Serves 6-8
Printable recipe.
1 (1 1/2-2 pound) butternut squash (about 4 cups cooked)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus a little for brushing the squash
1 yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
3 celery stalks, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 carrots, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
4 cups water low-sodium vegetable broth
8 ounces of bottled or vacuum packed chestnuts (about 20 chestnuts or 1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus extra for garnish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk (or half milk, half cream)
1 tablespoon butter at end
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Slice butternut squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Brush the flesh with a little bit of olive oil. Roast flesh side down on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet for 40-45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly before scooping out flesh. Discard skin.
2. In a deep pot over medium heat, warm oil. Saute onions, celery and carrots for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Add the cooked squash and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Add chestnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg and sage. Turn off heat, and let cool 5-10 minutes before pureeing.
3. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth and return to the pot over low heat. Add the milk and salt and pepper, and stir occasionally until the soup is thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Just prior to serving, stir in 1 tablespoon butter to the soup for added creaminess and depth of flavor. Taste it. Add salt and pepper as necessary. Garnish individual servings with fresh herbs, if desired.

Oh you are SO frugal-good! I can't tell you how many years I bought chestnuts (the have-to-crack kind) and watched them languish. I'm actually pretty sure that the pantry has a vacuum-packed package too. But I can't get off the dime on these ...

After escaping communism and anarchy, in Sofia, Bulgaria, by coming to the United States with his father's entire savings, Steven Andonov, 23, enrolled at Santa Ana College (SAC), believing that the only way to succeed was through education.
"I did not have any friends, my family was thousands of miles away, and I only knew a few words in English," said Andonov.
Not really certain of what he wanted to pursue at SAC, he chose business administration as his major and enrolled in classes, which included an accounting course.
"I had no idea what I wanted to do for a living until I took my first accounting class," said Andonov. " My professor, Jinhee Trone, not only taught me accounting, but she also opened my eyes for the unlimited opportunities that a career in the accounting field might offer."
Once he realized that he had a passion for accounting, he new exactly where he wanted his career to lead and even the name of the firm he wanted to work for someday. With an accounting degree he knew he could be a tax preparer, an internal or external financial auditor, financial advisor, IT auditor, and more.
After his graduation from SAC, he enrolled as an accounting major, at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF).
"A month before my graduation ceremony at CSUF, I received my biggest graduation gift…I received an offer from Ernst & Young," said Andonov, who was hired in as a financial auditor and will soon be promoted to senior financial auditor.
Andonov realizes that his success is something he could not have achieved had he stayed in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he was born approximately 30 years ago.
"I grew up during the Communist Era without any chances for a career or a higher education because neither one of my parents were members of the communist party," said Andonov. "Moreover, after my uncle escaped to America, we were deemed enemy of the state by the Bulgarian Government for being sympathetic to the Capitalistic society."
According to Andonov, his immediate family lived in a two-bedroom apartment with his grandparents and his aunt. After the fall of communism in 1989, freedom overcame Bulgaria. Communism was replaced by anarchy and the organized crime became the new ruler of the country.
At age 14, he began his first job; he was going to school during the day and working as a waiter at night. At the age of 18, he enrolled in the army. By 21 years of age, Andonov was going to college and working between 60 and 70 hours a week.
"I realized that opportunities for success in my country were not that great, so I decided to come to America," said Andonov. "My dad gave me all his savings and at the age of 23, I came to America."
Andonov's father's savings led him to a new life in America, where he was able to start all over again and be where he is today.

Starting from the 1st November, Australian horse owners and the equine industry will receive an important boost in their fight against the deadly hendra virus with the introduction of Equivac HeV vaccine. Available under permit from accredited veterinarians, the vaccine will also assist in breaking the cycle of transmission that puts humans at risk of contracting this potentially lethal virus.
With a high mortality rate, this virus has claimed the lives of 81 horses since its discovery in 1994, including nine deaths in 2012 alone. With no known cure for hendra, the Equivac HeV vaccine is positioned to become the most effective defence against this virus.
"This vaccine significantly decreases the risk of exposure to hendra virus for horse owners, handlers, and veterinarians. For that reason, the Australian Veterinary
Association recommends that all horses be vaccinated against the Hendra virus," said Dr. Ben Gardiner, president of the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA). "The vaccine will also help to protect the health of horses and is a major win for anyone working in the equine industry, including veterinarians. We encourage all horse owners to contact their veterinarian to schedule a ... vaccine appointment."
This long-awaited vaccine was the result of an international collaboration. In Australia,
Pfizer Animal Health has worked in close partnership with Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization's (CSIRO) Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL). Additionally, U.S.-based organizations, the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences (USU) and The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (HJF) have also contributed to the development of this important vaccine.
"Our involvement in the collaboration to develop Equivac HeV speaks to our determination to support the veterinary community and equine industry with effective vaccines to aid in the control of potentially life-threatening diseases such as the hendra virus," said Mike van Blommestein, division director of Pfizer Animal Health Australia.
CSIRO has maintained a significant program of hendra virus research since the virus was first identified and has contributed critical technical knowhow and advice on the virus to the partnership. CSIRO also provided the safe handling of hendra virus and testing of the Equivac HeV at its high containment facility in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
Leading the specialist team from CSIRO, Deborah Middleton, BVSc (Hons), MVSc, PhD, Dipl. VCS, veterinary pathologist, has a deep understanding of the need for an equine vaccine to aid in the prevention of the spread of hendra virus.
"As a veterinarian, I have seen first-hand how hendra has created difficult working conditions for my colleagues and any Australian who works with horses," said Middleton. "A horse vaccine is crucial to breaking the cycle of hendra virus transmission from flying foxes to horses and then to people, as it can prevent both the horse developing the disease and passing it on. For the first time, we have a hendra specific tool that provides veterinarians with a greater level of safety when they come into contact with sick horses."
Equivac HeV will be available for use by accredited veterinarians only. Pfizer Animal Health is currently working to supply Equivac HeV vaccine to those areas with the greatest need across Australia.
"We are collaborating with state based Chief Veterinary Officers and industry to ensure horses in areas evaluated as highest risk are supplied with the vaccine as a first priority," advised van Blommestein.
While the introduction of a vaccine represents a significant step in countering the spread of Hendra virus, it is still important that veterinarians and those who work with horses take precautions to safeguard against infection.
"Although Equivac HeV will provide reassurance for Australians in contact with horses, owners should still be conscious of flying fox activity in their area," added Gardiner. "Anyone handling a sick horse should also continue to take important infection control precautions such as wearing personal protective equipment, quarantining sick horses and following good hygiene practices as a matter of routine."

Production: Customized 'MyNewspaper' Running Innovative Hybrid Concept
By: Mark Vruno
Innovative, hybrid concept presented by Swiss Post Solutions offers customized news content. Create it online; read it in print the next day. It sounds good on paper, but …
Many people still prefer print to the online reading experience, especially when it comes to newspapers. Europeans, in particular, seem to love their morning paper. The printed medium is tactile — you can touch and feel it. You don't have to plug it in. Research shows that newsprint users retain more of what they read than their oft-distracted, online counterparts.
How much would you pay to have a "personalized" newspaper delivered to your doorstep? The MyNewspaper pilot project is making ink(jet)-on-paper newspapers tailored to readers' interests a printed reality. For the past nine months, Swiss readers have been creating their own customized paper online, choosing daily content options from a dozen national and international publications. Logistics firm Swiss Post Intl. delivers the German-language newspapers the following day. "This means that readers can combine information from different publishers, depending on what they are interested in and their reading habits," said Carsten Vossmeyer, head of press/publishers at Swiss Post, which successfully tested the personalized paper concept three years ago under the name Personal News.
During its yearlong pilot trial, which ends in late November, the MyNewspaper product is available in the Zurich, Basel, Berne, Lucerne, and Aarau areas of Switzerland. (The same service is available anywhere in the world as an e-paper for iPad and other tablets.) Pagination options are available in 24-, 36-, and 64-page formats.
Software-inkjet combo
MyNewspaper uses software developed by Previon. Contents are collated into a file based on subscribers' orders and then transferred to Swiss Post. Individualized newspapers are then digitally printed overnight on an Océ Jet- Stream 1000 by subsidiary Swiss Post Solutions AG in the Härkingen letter center and mailed the next day.
Swiss Post Solutions has been operating the JetStream 1000 since mid-2010, primarily for transaction and transpromo applications in day-shift operation. MyNewspaper permits additional capacity utilization of the system during the night shift. The JetStream — in its quality, performance, and costs — is optimally tailored to the digitally printed newspaper market. According to Océ, more than 1,000 36-page tabloid newspapers per hour can be printed in high quality and in full color on original newsprint.
The JetStream 1000 is "the optimal product for implementing the personalized newspaper concept," said Roland Glauser, MyNewspaper project manager. "The many years of experience possessed by Océ in the printing of fully variable data considerably simplified implementation of the project."
Océ holds several international patents in the area of personalized newspapers. "We patented the concept for personalized newspapers and founded the Digital Newspaper Network," said Sebastian Landesberger, executive vice president of Océ Production Printing. "As the partner of Swiss Post … Océ is once again a pioneer in the digital newspaper market."
New distribution channel for publishers
In theory, the MyNewspaper concept offers new perspectives for publishers and advertisers with the customer-customized newspaper. Its target groups include several hundred thousand readers from Germany who live and work in Switzerland. "This model is particularly interesting for publishers working internationally in combination with digital printing," said Max Rubens, head of Press Intl., another Swiss Post subsidiary. "After all, there will still be people in the future who attach importance to a printed newspaper and don't want to read everything on screen."
But the proverbial jury is still out as to whether the project continues into 2013 and beyond. As of press time, "no decision [had] been made …" Bernhard Bürki, a spokesman within Swiss Post's media unit, said via email, adding that "demand for the service and economic feasibility will be the most important criteria for the continuation of MyNewspaper."
After the first six months, Bürki said, Swiss Post had not "gained as many subscribers as we were expecting." He added that program changes have been made, based on customer surveys, including more newspapers from which to select content, and a downward adjustment of pricing. The printed version of MyNewspaper was originally priced at the USD equivalent of $62/month, or about $2 per day/ issue.
"We simplified the subscription model from 20 possible subscriptions to four and lowered the price for the smallest subscription from 60 Swiss francs to 25," Bürki said. "We are happy with the print quality and how the pilot is working out from the technical aspect in general."
Gulf News Printed in Berliner Format
For three months now, United Arab Emirates media company Al Nisr Publishing in Dubai has been printing the Gulf News in waterless offset on a multi-unit KBA Cortina with both coldset and heatset capabilities. The highly automated web press is the first Cortina installation outside Europe. Its inauguration marked a change of format for the Gulf News to the Berliner format, which is rapidly gaining ground in the international newspaper industry.
The double-wide, one-around hybrid press, which the investment-friendly media house selected after rigorously screening the technology available on the market, was installed along with cutting-edge Ferag mailroom systems in a new high-tech production plant on an industrial estate approximately 38 miles outside Dubai — in the middle of the desert. It comprises 12 reelstands, 12 towers, four thermal dryers, and three folders, and has a total capacity of either 96 full-color Berliner-format broadsheet pages or 192 tabloid pages in A4-plus format. Of these, up to 32 broadsheet or 64 tabloid pages can be produced in heatset mode. Gulf News is printed partly on standard newsprint running through eight coldset tower, and partly on semi-coated stock, for which the remaining four towers operate with thermal dryers.
The ability to produce heatset and coldset webs via a common folder allows the press not only to print the English-language Gulf News with the superior ad quality that is part of its appeal, but also other hybrid products with an enhanced visual impact. Coldset and heatset products such as supplements and magazines can be delivered via different folders. Irrespective of the production mode, the inks applied in all the waterless Cortina's towers are identical, which means that no change of ink is necessary when switching to a different type of stock. This delivers enormous flexibility and productivity gains compared to conventional wet offset presses with integrated thermal dryers, according to KBA.
Detailed definition and color brilliance with the waterless offset Cortina are intrinsically high, as was recently demonstrated once again by the outstanding rankings of seven European Cortina users accepted for membership in the International Newspaper Color Quality Club from 2012-2014.
"From the economic perspective, the reduction in makeready times, waste, maintenance, and labor input associated with the Cortina's automation and cutting-edge technology — which include KBA PlateTronic automatic plate changers and CleanTronic washing systems — was a key criterion influencing our investment decision," said Al Nisr managing director Obaid Humaid Al Tayer. Distributed not just in the United Arab Emirates but also in Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan, Gulf News is published seven days a week and has a daily circulation of more than 120,000 copies.
Chinese Printer Goes, Grows with Goss
In China, the Tianjin Evening News Group has expressed "unreserved satisfaction" with performance figures achieved since installation of its two-tower Goss Newsliner press. Its 4×1 format enhances flexibility and cost-effectiveness of straight-run production for the publisher's leading daily titles. A key component is the capability to produce two separate publications through one folder.
In choosing the Newsliner, Tianjin Evening News Group was looking for a high-specification press rated at up to 80,000 copies per hour that would enhance capacity and flexibility while achieving cost advantages. With a web width of up to 61.5 inches, the new double-width, single-circumference press is configured as two 4-over-4 towers. It has a Goss 2:3:3 jaw folder featuring double independent folding couples and an upper former providing the crucial ability to simultaneously handle two individual titles with different circulations. This provides cost benefits through maximizing savings on consumables while boosting press utilization. The press is also equipped with ink registration and ink leveling systems.
Tianjin Evening News Group has been a long-term Goss newspaper press user, and the latest installation complements production of four 2×2 (single-wide, double-circumference) Universal and three 2×1 Universal presses. "Naturally, the advanced features and overall capabilities of the equipment is first and foremost when making an investment of this magnitude and significance, but it certainly helps in the decision when you can trust your technology partner," said Li Shengli, vice president of Tianjin Evening News Group. "Our experience with eight Goss presses over the years has been very positive. In addition to the competitive features of the equipment, it is the professionalism and reliable service of the whole team that has given us confidence in this new investment."
Using the proven Newsliner double-width platform often favored in Asian markets, Goss developed the 4×1 model to exploit all the available benefits of straight-run printing for publishers requiring multi-edition products. As well as the modifications to the upper folder, this encompassed a raft of developments aimed at enhancing quality and operational stability of the 4×1 cylinder format. The 4×1 Newsliner model features plate cylinders redesigned to reduce deflection and improve registration. Cantilevered support for plate cylinders provides greater stability and repeatability at the highest speeds, and a specially modified "triple raceway" bearing system gives greater precision and easier operation. Other advanced features include optional Goss DigiRail digital inking and an enhanced fully automated splicing system.
Among the leading titles now produced on the Newsliner press is the flagship broadsheet Tianjin Evening News, which averages 32 to 40 pages per edition and has a circulation of 350,000 copies. The new 4×1 press also is boosting efficiency in daily production of tabloid Baohai Morning Post, which has a pagination of between 56 and 72 and a circulation of 250,000 copies.
QuadTech Receives InterTech Technology Award
Printing Industries of America (PIA) has announced that the QuadTech Color Control and Web Inspection System with AccuCam is a recipient of its prestigious InterTech Technology Award. Since 1978, the award has "honored the development of technologies predicted to have a major impact on the graphic communications and related industries."
"The judges were impressed with the system's ability to control color and provide automatic water control to minimize scumming in newspapers," said Mark Bohan, Ph.D., vice president of technology and research at PIA. "Color control without color bars is the future. This eliminates waste and enhances the visual appearance of print."
The AccuCam system provides fully automatic, closed-loop color control by controlling the ink-key settings. An image-based system, AccuCam eliminates the need for unsightly gray bars or color bars. Using pre-press image files to create L*a*b* target aim point values, its proprietary six-channel spectral sensor measures the printed web and calculates the L*a*b* values of the entire image. Then the system brings the printed image to the specified target values and automatically maintains color quality throughout the production run.
Besides advanced image-based color control, the system provides reliable warnings of many common printing faults such as catch up (scumming), creasing, transposed plates, and tramlines. Recent research and development efforts have resulted in a new AccuCam water control capability, in which the system monitors and controls press damping levels.
Requirements for the award include testimonials from users of the technology who will comment on its performance in a production setting. Recommendations for AccuCam were made by Mark Ellington, group technical services director at Newsprinters (the printing division of News Intl.); Ulrich Müller, technical director at Herold Druck; and Toru Uesaka, production bureau director at the Sankei Shimbun.
"We're honored to receive this recognition from Printing Industries of America. Our AccuCam technology is the result of close development partnerships with some of the most advanced printers in the world," said Karl Fritchen, president of QuadTech. "And, of course, congratulations are due to our product development team at QuadTech, who are second to none when it comes to technology innovation in the print industry."
Vince Balistrieri, QuadTech's director of engineering and general manager of commercial & newspaper, added, "The AccuCam system has a proven track record of reducing waste and delivering consistent quality. Our development partnerships will help us to continue adding more features and capabilities — further strengthening printers' ability to grow and increase profit margins. We're very excited about what AccuCam can do for newspaper and retail insert printers throughout the world."

America (70.8 per cent overweight)
According to a study from Yale University, five per cent of Americans would rather lose a limb than be obese. The majority, however, don't appear to have a choice, and their country is becoming increasingly adept at making life comfortable for them. Boston Emergency Services in 2011 unveiled an ambulance for the obese. The vehicle is equipped with a stretcher that can hold 850lb and a hydraulic lift with a 1,000lb capacity to ensure the safety of the sick and stem back injuries among crews hoisting hefty patients. Brylane Home, a US retailer, offers an extensive selection of extra-wide and reinforced chairs, along with high-capacity scales and extra-large "Big John" loo seats. Police officers are now trained how to body search obese suspects "up in the folds". The obese even have their own advocacy group, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, whose recent objections to an "offensive" Disneyland exhibit on childhood obesity led to its closure.
Australia (63.7 per cent overweight)
Royal Adelaide Hospital recently announced a refurbishment to help staff cope with an influx of obese patients: bigger rooms with ceiling-mounted lifting apparatus, reinforced wheelchairs and beds, and larger CAT scanning machines. Staff are 19 times more likely to strain themselves moving obese patients than others.
Brazil (51.7 per cent overweight)
Along with an expanding economy comes expanding waistlines. Brazil is currently on track to be as obese as the US by 2022. Brazilians' natural sweet tooth certainly doesn't help – they lather sugar on already-sweet fruits like pineapple, and cafezinho, the national espresso-like coffee, is more sugar than liquid – and nor do their ideas on body image. As one commentator put it: "American men may focus on breasts, but the Brazilian man has always wanted something to grab on to."
China (24.5 per cent overweight)
More than 325 million Chinese are now overweight or obese, a figure that could double in the next two decades. Fitness and slimming is a £700 million industry. Sales of weight-loss teas are rising sharply, and traditional Chinese treatments like acupuncture and fire-cupping are more popular than ever. Not that this makes things any easier for a Western brand like Weight Watchers, which has great difficultly assigning nutritional "points" to dishes like "desert boat sails on green" (camel's foot simmered with hearts of rape).
Colombia (48.3 per cent overweight) Perhaps the most exercise-friendly country in the world. Every Sunday morning in Bogotá, the roads are closed to cars to allow free reign for cyclists, roller bladers and joggers to safely exercise across the 120km of the ciclovía.
Finland (58 per cent overweight)
72 per cent of the country exercises regularly, helped by a government initiative that awards cash prizes to towns that lose the most weight. As part of the same programme, the Finnish government also encouraged shoe companies to make non-slip soles standard, so people wouldn't be deterred from walking in icy weather.
France (50.7 per cent overweight)
Contrary to the bestselling book, French women do get fat. Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig weight loss centres are signing new members in France in far greater numbers than in other markets, and offer such Gallic advice as "remember to have either dessert or cheese – but not both".
Jamaica (55.3 per cent overweight)
In Jamaican culture, a skinny – or "meagre" – woman is considered unattractive, while heaviness is a sign of happiness and social harmony. Which is why many women bulk up with black-market "chicken pills", i.e. chicken feed with appetite-boosting arsenic. Side effects include diarrhoea, dermatitis and – eventually – cancer.
Malaysia (44.2 per cent overweight) Schoolchildren have had their body mass index printed on their report cards since 2011, to help parents keep track of their children's weight.
Mauritania (36 per cent overweight)
A local saying goes, "The glory of a man is measured by the fatness of his woman."A third of women over 40 have said they were force-fed as children, to fall into local standards of beauty. The process is called gavage, a French word that describes the fattening up of geese to produce foie gras. A quarter of the 1.5 million women in the country are obese, contrasting sharply with most sub-Saharan countries. The government ran a television and radio campaign highlighting the health risks of obesity; because most Mauritanian love songs describe the ideal woman as fat, the health ministry commissioned catchy odes to thin women.
Mexico (68.1 per cent overweight)
Since 1980, the percentage of overweight or obese Mexicans has tripled, and diabetes has become the leading cause of death. In some areas of the country, it's easier to get a soft drink than a clean glass of water. The vast majority of Mexico City's public schools, and many private schools, lack drinkable water; the consumption of soft drinks has increased 60 per cent over the past 14 years. Mexicans drink the most Coca-Cola per capita in the world. Since it enacted the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994, imports of processed food and drinks have soared. The average Mexican eats 433lb of bakery goods per year, compared with only 156lb of vegetables.
Nauru (94.5 per cent overweight)
A 21 sq m island in the Pacific that qualifies as the world's fattest nation, Nauru's life expectancy for men is 59 years old and for women 64 years old. Phosphate mining, long a source of wealth, has left the island virtually incapable of growing vegetables. So islanders rely on processed Western imports – and a lot of them. "People [in Nauru] might only eat once a day," says Professor Clive Moore of the University of Queensland, "but the plate could be 4in high." As part of a recent government initiative, every Wednesday locals are encouraged to walk around the three-mile airport perimeter, but it's an uphill struggle. The islanders have, says Professor Moore, "a biological propensity to gain weight".
Nigeria (26.8 per cent overweight)
"Fattening rooms", where women are encouraged to eat large amounts throughout the day, are popular in Nigeria, especially before weddings. A key ingredient is garri, a porridge made from cassava tubers.
Qatar (72.3 per cent overweight)
With a GDP of $181.7 billion and a population of just under two million, per capita, Qatar is the richest nation on Earth. And it's fast becoming the fattest, too. Sweltering temperatures of up to 41C make walking – or any kind of outdoor activity – unbearable. Social and family life revolves around five large meals, interspersed with snacks of tea and cake. The final meal of the day invariably comes from McDonald's – delivered, of course. It's predicted that within five years, 73 per cent of Qatari women and 69 per cent of the men will qualify as obese.
Saudi Arabia (69 per cent overweight)
Girls are banned from participating in sports in Saudi state schools. The stance of the official Supreme Council of Religious Scholars is best summed up by Sheikh Abdullah al-Maneea, who said in 2009 that the excessive "movement and jumping" needed in football and basketball might cause girls to tear their hymens and lose their virginity. One third of women in Saudi Arabia are obese.
Sweden (53.3 per cent overweight)
Obesity is on the rise in Sweden, but at a markedly slower rate than in other countries. In fact, the Swedes are now on track to overtake the Swiss as Europe's slimmest people, thanks to a recent craze for high-fat, low-carb dieting. Endorsed by health authorities in 2008, the diet is now followed by one in four Swedes and its popularity was partly to blame for neighbouring Norway's Great Butter Shortage of 2011. (Several resourceful Swedes were arrested attempting to smuggle butter across the border.)
Tonga (90.8 per cent overweight)
Poor health and obesity are blamed on imported food like Spam, corned beef and "turkey tails" (a ban on the latter was recently lifted to ease membership of the World Trade Organisation). Tonga's late king, Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, who died in 2006, was once the world's heaviest monarch, weighing 440lb. He tried to persuade Tongans to get fit by offering cash incentives and taking up – in his seventies – bicycle rides around the island. (He shed 154lb.)
UAE (68.3 per cent overweight)
When the UAE football team failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, defender Saleh Obaid blamed the team's addiction to fast food. "We eat from McDonald's. Everyone eats from McDonald's. No good food." McDonald's was a sponsor of the 2010 World Cup.
UK (64.2 per cent overweight)
Despite the Government's three-year-old Change4Life campaign (latest recruit, television chef Ainsley Harriott) and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley's call for the population to cut 5 billion calories from its diet, obesity in the UK is getting worse. It causes an estimated 9,000 premature deaths a year, and if current trends continue, 90 per cent of British children will be obese by 2050.
Zimbabwe (25.5 per cent overweight)
In 2004, the Zimbabwean government came up with what they called the "Obesity Tourism Strategy". As Zimbabweans starve, overweight tourists would be encouraged to visit the country and work on farms seized from white farmers, losing weight in the process. "Tour organisers may promote this programme internationally and bring in tourists, while agriculturalists can employ the tourists as free farm labour. The tourists can then top it all by flaunting their slim bodies on a sundowner cruise."

When I was 14, out of instinct and desperation, I jumped into a pool of words and started writing. I didn't know that I would become a writer, only that I needed language to help me find my way, and I needed poetry to save my life. As a teenager filling journals at the speed of sound, I found writing helped me discover, reveal, process, dissect, rebuild and face whatever experiences, situations and perceptions came my way.
Over the next decade, a round-about journey through several other careers led me back to poetry. By the time I was deeply immersed in earning my doctorate in English, I realized that as a veteran of many creative writing classes, I had developed a wide set of skills as a reader, a writer, and a life-long student of revision. I also knew many people outside the university who wanted to learn more about inventing, drafting, polishing and publishing. So I started offering community writing workshops, thinking people would come to me to study the craft of writing.
People came – not to learn about character development or poetic imagery – but to discover, unearth, explore, recover and often heal something in themselves through writing. Like any good teacher, I followed the lead of my students, and in following, I returned to the source that had made me a writer in the first place: the pool of language where one could seek clarity, understanding, vitality and peace of mind.
I started facilitating community writing workshops in 1992, and since that time, I've been fortunate enough to further explore the therapeutic and transformative potential of writing. I've had the honor of facilitating workshops in clinics, writing centers, community centers, schools, universities and colleges, museums, retirement homes, libraries, camps, health centers, and even in the middle of tall-grass prairie.
I've facilitated life writing in the Kansas City Latino community as well as poetry classes for Native American students. A year-long series in Ottawa brought together at-risk teenage girls and elderly women to write, share stories and help one another. For three years, I've worked with a group of women in recovery from addiction and abuse at the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority, where I've also facilitated "Poetry Camp" for low-income kids, and will soon start "MotherWrites" for young mothers. Through a Native American center, I developed and administered the Midnight Poetry League, which helped teens write, perform and play poetry. I've also conducted women's and men's workshops as well as sessions for kids from ages five to eighteen. And I've presented talks and workshops at conferences and gatherings on how mythology, ecology, history and culture relate to writing for social and personal growth.
In recent years, my circle has widened through founding and directing the Transformative Language Arts (TLA) graduate program at Goddard College. TLA draws students from all over the country who are bringing writing, storytelling, drama and other expressive arts to community centers, cancer centers, mental health clinics, businesses, prisons, schools, shelters and hospitals.
Each workshop session, each exercise always begins with a blank piece of paper and the myriad possibilities of what may come when participants feel safe and encouraged enough to bring to the surface what they have to say in their own voice and their own language. To facilitate this process, all my exercises and approaches are both structured and open-ended, giving participants enough support to take healthy risks and enough freedom to create what comes to them. Most of all, I encourage participants to join together in a supportive community where witnessing the words of others is as important as being witnessed. In learning to listen to each other, participants find common ground and cultivate greater insight, confidence, faith and strength. The creative process itself – with its spirit of experimentation, value of risk-taking, and discovery of new ways to see the world – ripples out into the lives of each and into the community at large.

Mercedes-Benz S550: Soon to Be the 'Best Car in the World'?
Though the Mercedes-Benz S550 is far from being pretty, it could one day be pronounced the best car in the world, says Rumble Seat columnist Dan Neil.
