LEGO building blocks have inspired generations of young builders. In recent years, they've also become an object of affection for grown adults looking to indulge their childhood dreams of becoming an architect.
In 2008, LEGO introduced the LEGO Architecture Series, a series of building block sets that replicate some of the world's most iconic structures. Included are a number of modern residences that would be of particular interest to fans of modern design.
There's Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House:
There's Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater:
And there's even Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye:
The LEGO design fad has definitely taken hold. Earlier this year in fact, Dwell Magazine and LEGO joined forces to stage a contest in which participants were asked to create a Mid-century Modern home using the blocks (pictured at the top of this post and below).
Put any of these sets together, literally, and you've got the best in mid-century houses. Unfortunately these models aren't large enough to fit our favorite lighting fixtures and furniture. For a real home, we recommend modern black leather chairs, Danish wood tables or credenzas, and any of our favorite arc designer floor lamps.
For a fraction of the cost of real construction, it's fun to fantasize for a moment about building one of the world's most recognizable modernist residences.

Make Creative does modern office design and they do it well! When Make Creative was called to create a generous and innovative workspace for a collaborative team, they hit the nail on the head through the transformation of this industrial warehouse. The design of Unit B4 office spaces in Sydney, Australia was named Best Workplace under 1000sqm at the Interior Design Excellence Awards.
The design was based on the the idea of interconnected elements within the open space. This allows the interior to become a series sculptural features woven together which fill the open space with multiple blocks and voids.
The unique use of modern lighting in this space makes a huge statement. The larger pendant lights over the communal table are encased in a sculptural wood frame which not only defines the space but does an amazing job of filling the void. While the black wall sconces look as if they are crawling off the wall in the little red niche. Modern wall sconces are always a great way to add a sculptural element to your space.
Holtkoetter Bernie Turbo Bronze LED Swing Arm Wall Lamp
A good client truly is a blessing and when Made Creative was asked what the best part was about this project they replied, "We were lucky enough to have been given a lot of trust and freedom with this project… good clients ready to take a risk on an unexpected solution." When a client is open to taking risks talent shines through! Even if it's something as simple as using pops of red on the modern barstools or hanging lights in an unusual way these small details really help make a space special.
The simple pendant lighting floats through the space to create glistening bursts of lights. Clusters of modern mini pendant lights hanging at different levels creates an organic feel and is a bit unexpected.

Such a functional and practical solution for a creative office environment that I'm sure many of you would love to work in! I know we would!

Whether your style is modern, traditional, country or you just don't know, it's ok. The fun part about design is mixing and matching different elements and styles. Take this Danish home for example...
The living room and dining room feature a clean, modern palette of black and white. However, the untreated floors, twigs, sheepskin and antlers give the space a comfortable lived-in feel. Balancing modern furniture with vintage accessories is always a fun combination.
Alex Black Leatherette Dining Chairs
This modern vintage home does a great job following through with its design. From the reading corner to the bedroom, the color palette and comfortable aesthetic remains consistent. We're noticing a lot of desk lamps used in areas of the home other than the office, like the bedroom (above).

When you're perusing magazines or blogs for inspiration, remember to take ideas from all types of styles and then combine them to make one of your own. In the end, this will add the most character to your home.

Paper art. It can be so much more than ink or graphite drawings on flat white sheets. Folded, constructed or crumpled (or even lacquered as in David Jang's paper towel floor installation pictured above), paper becomes a sculptural goldmine.
Eva Black's "Folded" installation is a sculpture consisting of approximately 3,500 folded paper pyramids that, when combined, looks like an origami quilt.
The entire piece is constructed from found, gifted and collected paper Black culled from old art projects, paper bags, bookstores and more.
A scaled down, terrarium sized piece, reminiscent of Black's work, is this fun sculpture by Mark from the London based Present and Correct.
For a less geometric and more organic paper art, check out this installation of more than 100 paper sculptures by artist Peter Gentenaar. Floating throughout the church of Saint Riquier, close to Abbeyville, Somme, Northern France, the sculptures are floral in form and jelly-like in their weightlessness.
My favorite paper artist ever (and a personal friend) is Olga Lah, who I first discovered while sitting on a jury for the Los Angeles Art Association. She installed this amazing and adaptable piece in the entryway of the 2012 Palm Springs Art Fair which took place last February during the city's vaunted Modernism Week.
Most fine art is archival, it will stand the test of time. Paper often contains acid, which breaks the material and its colors down over time. While some of the art above is archival, not all of it (especially in the case of Eva Black's found paper) will hold up over time. Lighting plays a big role in the display and preservation of art. Halogen track lighting is preferred by many galleries, as it provides a full spectrum of white light, is low in harmful UV rays, and is adjustable so you can fine tune the lighting of your art work. For sculptural pieces, you may want to try recessed lighting overhead.
Last are some sculptural works nearly impervious to fading. Check out these complex, monochromatic origami-ish paper pieces by artist Matt Shlian.
Paper as sculptural fine art is only the beginning. Origami is increasingly being explored, in everything from space flight to nano-technologies, as a means to pack more stuff into less space. And for most design junkies, packing cool, beautiful forms into small spaces is what we're all about.

Cuban Bread
Hi Group, I'm new here, and for 10 years I've been trying to make authentic Cuban Bread. I've tried James Beards recipe, and countless others as well, but to no avail. To enlighten you on this wonderful bread, I've been told that the water in Tampa Florida, where every Tampa bakery makes 1000s of loaves on a daily basis, is different from the water everywhere else. I find this questionable, as I've had Cuban Bread in Miami Florida, which was pretty much the same as in Tampa, so I think the water theory is a load of bunk. With each new attempt I always end up with either a bread that looks and tastes like Italian Bread, or it comes out like a rustic loaf of French Bread. For those of you who've never had this wonderful bread, it has huge air pockets, is very very light in texture, with a crust that flakes almost like paper. It's the density thing I can't seem to achieve. The inside is always too tight - (The holes are too small). I need to get an inside texture, with large holes, and which is extremely light and dry.
I found a recipe, which I haven't tried yet, which calls for an over-night starter. Do you think this would help? Any suggestions would be great. I live in Indianapolis, and none of the bakeries here, have ever heard of this bread! If I could make this bread, I could open my own bakery in Indy, and just baking Cuban Bread would make me famous.

USA today defeated Oman in game three of their ICC WCL Division 3 tournament in Bermuda. It was tight finish to the game as USA chased down Oman's target of 175 with only 2 wickets in hand, passing them in the 40th over.
Earlier in the day USA had Oman in huge trouble at 8-95, however, Oman rallied and USA let the tail wag as the last three batters were able to add a valuable 80 runs before eventually being bowled out for 175 in the final over of the innings.
For USA all the bowlers were good early in the innings especially Neil McGarrell who picked up 3-30 from his 10 overs. Elmore Hutchinson and Japen Patel also contributed well returning 2 wickets each.
With the bat USA were unable to show the poise and consistency of earlier games. They lost 3 wickets early to slump to 3-37 before Rashard Marshall and Steve Messiah steadied the ship with a 90 run stand. However when Messiah was dismissed for 39 it sparked a middle order collapse for USA who were in trouble at 7-142.
Marshall however proved to be the difference between the two sides, he increased his tempo when wickets fell around him eventually steering team USA home with a fantastic 72 not out from 83 balls.
Tomorrow USA face Uganda in a clash of the undefeated teams.

Boggs' 'Field of Dreams' project worth watching
Every now and then, I'll come across some list of the greatest baseball movies of all-time, and almost invariably, "Field of Dreams" makes the cut. The preoccupation with this frustrating film confounds me. I usually appreciate a paean toward the great game, and I understand the connective qualities the movie seeks to celebrate and the emotional strings it attempts to strum. I also get that sometimes, when you step into the theater, you must suspend your sense of reality. But the reduction of rationality this movie requires goes beyond what I'm willing to offer. God, ignoring all the other troubles of the world, bends the laws of time and space just so some Iowa farmer can "have a catch" with his dead dad? (Who actually says "have a catch" anyway? Isn't it "play catch"?) People willingly plunk down $20 to see a ballgame played by ghosts? (Shouldn't they be putting that money toward psychiatrists?) "Shoeless" Joe Jackson bats from the right-hand side of the plate? No, no. It's all too much for me to stomach. I'm sorry, list-makers and Kevin Costner apologists, but "Field of Dreams" is terrible. The Field of Dreams, on the other hand, I like quite a bit. I'm talking about the Dyersville, Iowa, farm where the movie was filmed in 1988. For years now, it has operated as a tourist site, enticing those who cherish baseball's simplest qualities to take a journey off Interstate 80 and into the country's core. Against my more cynical judgment, I enjoyed the field when I visited it a few years back. I found it to be everything the movie is not. It doesn't ask you to suspend your sense of reality; it enlivens that sense. Its simplicity brings you closer to the sounds, the smells and the soul of the sport. As Wade Boggs said, "You walk on that field, and you get goosebumps." And remember, this is a guy who used to play his home games in Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Boggs was talking about the Field of Dreams because he is part of an investor group, headed by Denise and Michael Stillman, that recently purchased the 193-acre site on which the field sits for $3.4 million. The group has some big plans for the property -- a $38 million, 24-field youth baseball and softball complex geared toward travel teams. It is slated to include clubhouse space for up to 60 teams, as well as an indoor training center. The first phase of the project, known as All-Star Ballpark Heaven, is scheduled to open in the spring of 2014, and the original field and the two-bedroom house used in the movie will be preserved. This, you could argue, is a use of the Dyersville property that does far more for the growth of the game than the tourist attraction did. "The model for travel-ball sites is the one in Cooperstown and how well that's done," Boggs said. "We basically came up with the concept of killing two birds with one stone. Not only is this a famous movie site, but it adds the fields and a complex so that the kids and their families can stay. "It opens up the opportunity for parents in places like California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada so that they don't have to drive all the way to the East Coast. They can turn it into a vacation to the Midwest." Boggs said dozens of teams from around the country have already signed up to play on the property next year. He, like so many others, is stunned by the growth of travel baseball. When Boggs was growing up and learning the ins and outs of the sport, such a thing wasn't even on his radar. "It was too expensive back then," he said. "Now it's the vogue thing to do. The days of just playing in your local Little League are over." So, too, are the days when baseball was a default option for the amateur athlete, which is why it is always encouraging to see people in Boggs' position act as ambassadors for the game. "[My involvement] gives a face to this project," he said. "It's not just some investment group going forward with some project. It's a Hall-of-Fame face that they can put with it." Talking to Boggs about this Iowa farm, I was reminded of another Hall of Famer. One of the great thrills of my sportswriting life, to date, was getting to know Bob Feller quite well in his later years, and so I can assure you Feller was no fan of Dyersville's Field of Dreams (I'm not exactly sure how he felt about the movie, but I can probably take a pretty good guess). That's because Feller grew up on what he considers Iowa's real Field of Dreams -- the Van Meter farm he and his dad plowed and converted into a ballfield. It was called Oakview, for it sat on a hill overlooking a forest of oak trees. A 13-year-old Feller and his father cut down about 20 trees to make the posts for the backstop, and they served as groundskeepers on the field, which would stage games and tournaments for Iowa boys for several years. (You want to make a baseball movie geared toward fathers and sons? There's your movie.) Anyway, Oakview always held a very special place in Feller's heart, because it was a place where a kid could sharpen his skills, bond with his friends and form a lifelong love affair with baseball. So while Feller didn't exactly embrace that Hollywood creation in Dyersville, I'd like to think he'd be in favor of what Boggs and Co. have in mind. "The main thing," Boggs said, "is giving kids another option at furthering their ability." His is a Field of Dreams that's actually worth watching.

ECB Holds Rates as Stronger Euro Threatens Economic RecoveryStefan Riecher
The European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged even as a stronger currency threatens the euro area's recovery from recession.
Policy makers meeting in Frankfurt today kept the benchmark rate at a record low of 0.75 percent, as forecast by all 60 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. President Mario Draghi holds a press conference at 2:30 p.m. to explain the decision.
Recent indicators suggest the euro-area economy may return to growth later this year, easing pressure on the ECB to lower rates further. At the same time, a rising euro could hurt exports and stymie the recovery before it has begun, and looser monetary policy in the U.S. and Japan may continue to weaken the dollar and the yen.
"The euro is a little bit too strong," Bernard Charles, Chief Executive Officer at the French software maker Dassault Systemes SA, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. This will "have an effect this year" on the economy and its "capacity to export," he said.
The common currency rose 0.3 percent to $1.3568 today. It reached a 14-month high against the dollar this month and a three-year high against the yen. It has climbed 11 percent on a trade-weighted basis since Draghi pledged on July 26 to do whatever is needed to preserve Europe's monetary union.
Bank of England
The Bank of England kept its target for bond purchases at 375 billion pounds ($589 billion) and left the key rate at a record low of 0.5 percent.
Draghi may face questions today about Italy's Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA, which is engulfed in criminal probes over its use of derivatives to hide losses. Draghi has yet to publicly comment on his role in overseeing Monte Paschi, the world's oldest bank, when he was governor of the Bank of Italy.
Still, the focus is likely to be on the euro, which hit $1.3711 on Feb. 1, the highest since November 2011.
A stronger currency damps inflation by reducing prices on imports and poses a threat to growth by increasing the cost of exports. Stora Enso Oyj, Europe's biggest papermaker, said this week exchange rates had a negative impact on 2012 sales.
"Markets will want to hear stronger words on the foreign-exchange front to stop the upward trend currently in place," said Nick Matthews, senior euro-area economist at Nomura International Plc in London. "But we doubt this will happen. Draghi is likely to reaffirm last month's position" that the exchange rate is not a policy target for the ECB, he said.
Important Element
While Draghi's predecessor, Jean-Claude Trichet, was willing to intervene verbally to influence the euro, speaking of "brutal" shifts in currencies, Draghi has been circumspect so far.
"I never comment on exchange rates," he said on Jan. 10, while acknowledging that currencies are "certainly a very important element as far as growth and price stability are concerned."
The ECB estimates the euro-area economy will shrink 0.3 percent this year before posting growth of 1.2 percent in 2014. Draghi spurred hopes of an economic recovery later this year when he spoke of "positive contagion" on financial markets in January.
He may paint a less upbeat picture today.
"We expect the tone of the statement to turn more cautious on the economic outlook and more relaxed on the outlook for inflation, reflecting the recent increase in some money-market rates and the appreciation of the euro," said Juergen Michels, chief euro-area economist at Citigroup Inc. in London.
Loan Repayment
The Euro Overnight Index Average, or EONIA, climbed to 0.08 percent from 0.06 percent after banks handed back more of the ECB's three-year loans than economists forecast at the first early-repayment opportunity last month.
As a result of the repayments, the ECB's balance sheet shrank to an 11-month low of 2.77 trillion euros ($3.76 trillion) last week from a record-high of 3.1 trillion euros at the end of June.
That contrasts with the Fed's growing balance sheet, which rose above $3 trillion for the first time in January after Chairman Ben S. Bernanke committed to open-ended purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities to combat unemployment. The Bank of Japan is also expanding its stimulus to fight deflation.
'Currency War'
"A significant shift is underway in global central banking," said Paul Mortimer-Lee, global head of market economics at BNP Paribas SA in London. "There is a worldwide currency war and the ECB seems to be a central bank that is not targeting the real economy as much as the Fed, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England," he said. The ECB "risks being the loser."
A 10 percent appreciation against a basket of trading partners reduces euro-area gross domestic product by 0.5 percentage point in the first year, according to Elga Bartsch, chief European economist at Morgan Stanley & Co. in London.
The euro's strength may force the ECB to revise down its economic projections in March, "reopening the door for another rate cut," said Carsten Brzeski, an economist at ING Group in Brussels. Twelve of 42 economists in another Bloomberg survey forecast an ECB rate reduction in the second quarter.
Still, euro-area economic confidence is at a seven-month high and Germany, the region's largest economy, is showing signs of recovery.
"The ECB is in a difficult position," Brzeski said. "A rate cut now would probably do little to reverse the current trend of the exchange rate. Draghi will have to use verbal intervention to limit any further appreciation of the euro without committing the ECB to possible future policy action."

If everyone who bought this magazine picked up a copy of this record from these San Fran-via-Philly big'n'bad-like-a-trainwreck-Stax-soul- with-Chess-heart-psychotroggs, uh… wait a second - if everyone who read this magazine in their favorite store… okay - if everyone who's ever talked about visiting violence on the editor/publisher of this magazine bought a copy of this new Zen Guerilla release, well Positronic Raygun still probably wouldn't crack Billboard, but the mainstreamers'd haveta stick an ear above the ooze and take notice of the best band in the country at the moment (mebbe the Stone'd allow these guys a photo op with Puff Daddy).
Since the captain has yet to turn off the "Payola" light, I'm just gonna haveta stay strapped in my seat and elaborate a bit. After umpteen thousand live shows in which they've made rabid fans outta complete strangers and pounded flat many an opening (or closing) band (as this correspondent can attest to, bein' the sole survivor of a punk rock outfit wiped out pretty much single-handedly by karate-kickin' singer Marcus Durant in Providence, RI back in '92), Zen Guerrilla has deigned to loose their first full-length on the world (Alternative Tentacles was good enough to package two previously released EPs on one record - last year's Invisible Liftee Pad/Gap Toothed Clown-get it while ya still can). Ya gotta give Raygun a coupla listens just to clear the haze, but by the third, ya just accept this mutation of Isaac Hayes, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, the Chambers Brothers, a psycho tent revival preacher, and the Cramps as something no self-respectin' rock'n'roll fan should be without.
Zen Guerrilla messes stuff up so god, you'd swear they got together solely cuz they were plain fed up with the entire spectrum of the FM dial. Maybe that's what "54 Stars and Stripes" is about, but I can't tell for sure cuz Durant's raspo-distorto vocals are real hard to decipher, then again the sound of the music (like a dentist's drill on a concrete sled speedin' down a luge track) oughtta speak for itself. Actually, sounds like that don't speak, they throb like the mother of all migraines turned upside-down into a hiccuping round of bed-spins ("Saucerships to Ragtime"); they speed by ya like a supersonic freight train, only registerin' an aftershock on yer radar(love) ("Tomato Cup"); they stomp into yer chest like Marvin Gaye's preacher daddy throwin' buckshot into "Trouble Man" on his last moment on Earth ("Fingers").
Can a Nanker/Phelge primeval Stones gem ("Empty Heart" cum-Johhny Thunders) distort Positronic Raygun past the blurred pixels of the album art (a giant spider attacking an unfortunate human)? What'd ya think of some Philly soul from hell like-War-if-they-sounded-more-like-their-name ("Healing in the Water")? Maybe ya wanna hear thrash and response calls to testify and "Rise up in the morning!" with guitarist Rich Millman, bass player Carl Horne, and drummer Andy Duvall effortlessly knocking everything Durant throws at 'em out of the park ("Trouble Shake")? What about that, huh?
Well, if you're like me and forgot where exactly that last paragraph was going, don't fret 'bout it. I think it had something to do with Positronic Raygun, or it could've been about the other day when I got hit in the head. I just haven't been able to concentrate… Oh, look, the pilot has turned off the "payola" sign. Feel free to stretch, mingle, or proceed directly to your nearest record store. You wouldn't wanna be punching yerself in the mouth later. You need this! (Jon Sarre, Lollipop Magazine #44)

Revision [11631]
This is an old revision of InstallationFrugal made by coolpup on 2010-12-23 10:12:17.
Fastest file-system for flash memory drives: EXT4 (requires latest e2fsprogs)
When a frugal installation is desired it is convenient to have a LiveDVD because it can be used to install the required boot loader, e.g. as shown here. Instructions are also provided below for situations when not using an optical disc drive.
First acquire the container file (either an ISO or ZIP file) of the desired Puppy Linux, e.g. Fluppy, Puppy 5 or Wary.
If the target partition or drive contains any files copy them elsewhere if required, because they will be destroyed when formatting.
If, after performing the installation processes given below, the computer does not boot into Puppy Linux from the U.S.B. flash drive follow the instructions in Appendices 1 and 3 at LiveDVD.
Installation to an U.S.B. flash (or external) drive
- with Syslinux or GRUBforDOS as boot-loader
- see Appendices 1-3 below
- Format the drive or partition to FAT32
- Download and extract syslinux to a folder, e.g. C:\syslinux
- Then go to directory C:\syslinux\win32\ by entering into the command-line interface:
cd C:\syslinux\win32\
- Then run the syslinux command to make the drive bootable (where X: is the drive letter for the target drive or partition)
syslinux.exe -m -a X:
- Open the Puppy ISO (or ZIP) file to view its contents, using e.g. 7-zip, (it is important that the original file names be kept)
- Copy to the U.S.B. flash drive the files: vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and all those with the extensions .sfs, and .cfg
- Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
- Edit syslinux.cfg in a text editor: change "pmedia=cd" to "pmedia=usbflash"
- Reboot computer with U.S.B. flash drive connected
Installation to any Microsoft Windows partition and using GRUBforDOS as boot-loaderInstalling the boot-loader to the internal hard disk drive (where Microsoft Windows resides)
Installing the boot-loader to an external drive
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-lucid-puppy-on-usb-flash-drive-from-windows/#more-4392 (see next reference also)
Appendix 1 [Preparing the U.S.B. device]
- Download and install recent versions of: dosfstools, e2fsprogs, NTFS-3G, tar, grep
- Determine the correct target device name of the U.S.B. flash memory drive to work on, e.g. sdX:
- (Optional) Verify that all existing data is destroyed of target partition X:
dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdX && dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
- (Optional) Zero the first 512 bytes of the boot partition X1 to delete any existing M.B.R. boot code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX1 bs=512 count=1
- (Optional) Create a new partition table (disklabel) on the target device X:
parted /dev/sdX mklabel msdos
- (Optional) Create new partition(s) on the correct target device: Menu > System > GParted > Partition > New
- Ensure the correct device is unmounted: Menu > System > GParted > Partition > Unmount
- Create the required file system (formatting) on the partition(s) of the correct device: Menu > System > GParted > Partition > Format to
- Set the boot flag on the device: Menu > System > GParted > Partition > Manage Flags > boot
Appendix 2 [Installing Puppy to the U.S.B. device]
- Click on the Puppy ISO (or ZIP) file to open its contents
- Copy to the U.S.B. flash drive the files: vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and all those with the extensions .sfs, and .cfg
Appendix 3 [Installing a boot-loader to the U.S.B. device]Use either SYSLINUX or GRUB for DOS.
Using SYSLINUX for FAT32 partitions
- Download and install recent version of SYSLINUX
- Install the boot-loader code to the M.B.R. of the target drive X:
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX
cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdX
- Install the boot-loader file ldlinux.sys to the target partition X1:
syslinux -i --stupid /dev/sdX1
- Rename the boot-loader configuration file isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
- Edit syslinux.cfg in a text editor: change "pmedia=cd" to "pmedia=usbflash"
- Reboot the computer with the U.S.B. flash drive connected
- Download and install the latest version of Grub4DosConfig (if necessary)
- Install the boot-loader code to the M.B.R. of the target drive X:
bootlace.com --time-out=0 /dev/sdX
- Install the boot-loader file grldr:
wget -c --directory-prefix=/mnt/home http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/grldr
- The boot-loader configuration file menu.lst can be created or updated using Grub4DosConfig: Menu > System > Grub4Dos

The New Skimz KONE protein skimmer is the successful result of blending state-of-the-art technology with attractive design.
KONE's conical-shape has distinct design advantages - the bubbles in the reaction chamber are forced to move vertically upward, resulting in natural foam formation to minimize bubble bursting. This natural foam formation of the bubbles reduces surface agitation, thus creating a gentle foaming within the skimmer and results in increased skimming efficiency. Together with the use of the bubble plate design, turbulence within the reaction chamber is significantly reduced, allowing maximum air flow capacity in a compact skimmer.
All SKIMZ E-Series skimmers are fitted with the new SKIMZ ES Pumps. SKIMZ ES Pumps are jointly developed with Italian pump manufacturer, using the most advanced material for the needlewheel impeller, seamless-coated rare earth magnet for unsurpassed durability and performance. The SKIMZ ES pumps are available in 3 models: ES2000, ES2800 and ES5000.
SKIMZs latest design allows cleaned water to exit the skimmer chamber at its base where it is almost bubble-free. Precise adjustment of the water level within the skimmer body can now be easily achieved using the new Micro-Adjustable Valve.
Skimz E-Series internal model is designed for in-sump use. No feed pump required, skimmer draws water directly from sump.

Among recent enforcement actions taken by the SEC and FINRA were charges against Eli Lilly and Co. with violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA); the barring of an Arizona-based mutual fund manager from the securities industry over actions that led to the fund's collapse; charges of fraud against four penny stock purchasers; and a research analyst charged with trading and tipping ahead of IBM's acquisition of SPSS Inc.
FINRA, meanwhile, ordered Pruco Securities to pay $10.7 million in restitution and a fine of $550,000 over findings that it improperly priced mutual fund shares over a period of several years for customers who placed paper orders.
Eli Lilly Charged With FCPA Violations
The SEC announced that it has charged Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co. with violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for improper payments its subsidiaries made to foreign government officials to win millions of dollars of business in Russia, Brazil, China, and Poland.
According to the SEC's allegations, Lilly's Russia subsidiary used offshore "marketing agreements" to pay millions to third parties chosen by government customers or distributors, despite knowing little or nothing about those third parties beyond their offshore address and bank account information. These offshore entities rarely provided any services; in fact, in some instances they served as a channel to convey money to government officials who would in turn provide business to the subsidiary.
The money for alleged "marketing services" in order to induce pharmaceutical distributors and government entities to purchase Lilly's drugs included approximately $2 million to an offshore entity owned by a government official and approximately $5.2 million to offshore entities owned by a person closely associated with an important member of Russia's parliament.
There was no specialized or close review of transactions with offshore or government-affiliated entities for possible FCPA violations; paperwork was accepted at face value, and there was little action taken to determine whether the terms or circumstances surrounding a transaction could signify foreign bribery.
Not only that, but the SEC alleges that, despite Lilly's recognition that the marketing agreements were being used to "create sales potential" with government customers and that it did not appear that any actual services were being rendered under the agreements, it failed for more than five years to shut down the subsidiary's use of them.
The firm's Brazilian, Chinese and Polish subsidiaries also made improper payments to government officials or third-party entities associated with government officials.
At the Brazilian subsidiary, one of the pharmaceutical distributors was allowed to pay bribes to government health officials to facilitate Lilly drug product sales of $1.2 million to state government institutions.
Employees of the Chinese subsidiary falsified expense reports to provide spa treatments, jewelry, and other improper gifts and cash payments to government-employed physicians.
And in Poland, the company's subsidiary made eight improper payments totaling $39,000 to a small charitable foundation founded and administered by the head of one of the regional government health authorities in exchange for the official's support for placing Lilly drugs on the government reimbursement list.
Lilly agreed, to settle the SEC's charges, to pay disgorgement of $13,955,196, prejudgment interest of $6,743,538, and a penalty of $8.7 million for a total payment of $29,398,734. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the company also consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining the company from violating the anti-bribery, books and records, and internal controls provisions of the FCPA, and to comply with other requirements that include the retention of an independent consultant to review and make recommendations about its foreign corruption policies and procedures. The settlement is subject to court approval.
FINRA Orders Pruco Securities to Pay $10.7 Million in Restitution
FINRA announced that it has ordered Pruco Securities, LLC of Newark, N.J., to pay more than $10.7 million in restitution, plus interest, to customers who placed mutual fund orders with Pruco via fax or mail (paper orders) from late 2003 to June 2011 and received an inferior price for their shares. FINRA also fined Pruco $550,000 for its pricing errors and for failing to have an adequate supervisory system and written procedures in this area.
One of Pruco's retail brokerage business units, COMMAND, instituted a practice for handling mutual fund paper orders that was inconsistent with the pricing requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which requires that mutual fund orders are priced on the day the order is received prior to 4:00 P.M. Instead, from late 2003 to June 2011, COMMAND priced more than 850,000 paper orders, on average, one or two days after it received complete orders prior to 4 P.M.
The employees mistakenly believed that they could use "best efforts" (up to two business days) to process mutual fund paper orders and that paper orders could be priced on the date the order was processed, even if Pruco received a complete order prior to that date. As a result of these findings, approximately 37,000 accounts for 34,000 customers will receive more than $10.7 million in restitution, plus interest. The firm is in the process of calculating restitution for up to 3,240 additional customers who will receive restitution upon the firm's completion of its review. The issue was discovered after an inquiry to COMMAND personnel regarding a fax order submitted had not been executed until the day after it was received as a complete order.
FINRA also found that Pruco failed to have an adequate supervisory system to detect and prevent the mispricing of paper mutual fund orders and to ensure that customers who submitted paper mutual fund orders received the correct price. Additionally, Pruco failed to have written procedures for the pricing of mutual fund orders, and did not provide its employees with any training or training materials regarding paper mutual fund pricing requirements.
Pruco neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA's findings. When determining sanctions, FINRA took into consideration that the firm self-reported the pricing issue, undertook an internal review, implemented changes to its policies and procedures and commenced restitution to the affected customers.
Fund Collapse Results in Ban Against Fund Manager
The SEC barred an Arizona-based mutual fund manager from the securities industry for failing to follow the investment objectives of a stock mutual fund managed by his firm, leading to the fund's collapse.
An SEC investigation found that the prospectus of Z Seven Fund (ZSF) stated that it sought long-term capital appreciation and restricted the use of options. However, beginning in September 2009 and contrary to the fund's stated investment policy, Barry C. Ziskin and his firm Top Fund Management (TFM) invested ZSF in put options for speculative purposes. The losses from options trading and the ensuing investor redemptions ultimately resulted in ZSF's liquidation in December 2010.
According to the SEC's order instituting settled administrative proceedings against TFM and Ziskin, both disclosures in ZSF's prospectuses and statements of additional information claimed that the fund was restricted to trading options only to hedge its portfolio. However, TFM and Ziskin traded put options in such large amounts relative to the size of ZSF's equity portfolio that their strategy amounted to speculation. In one instance, ZSF's equity portfolio had a market value of $1,835,607 on July 6, 2010, but ZSF held enough option contracts to protect a portfolio worth $32,858,000 (17.9 times the value of the equity portfolio).
ZSF's options trading also caused the fund's performance to plummet. As of October 2009, ZSF had net assets of $5.3 million, but over the next 15 months the fund suffered $3.7 million in losses from options. TFM and Ziskin misled ZSF investors by misrepresenting in a shareholder report that options trading was for hedging purposes.
Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, TMF and Ziskin agreed to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and also consented to the entry of an SEC order that censures TFM and bars Ziskin from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization and prohibits him from serving as an officer, director or employee of a mutual fund.
Four Penny Stock Purchasers Charged With Fraud by SEC
The SEC announced that it has charged four securities industry professionals with conducting a fraudulent penny stock scheme, in which they illegally acquired more than 1 billion unregistered shares in microcap companies at deep discounts and then dumped them on the market for approximately $17 million in illicit profits while claiming bogus exemptions from the federal securities laws.
The SEC alleges that Danny Garber, Michael Manis, Kenneth Yellin, and Jordan Feinstein acquired shares at about 30%–60% off the market price by misrepresenting to the penny stock companies that they intended to hold the shares for investment purposes rather than immediately reselling them. Instead, they immediately sold the shares without registering them by purporting to rely on an exemption for transactions that are in compliance with certain types of state law exemptions. However, no such state law exemptions were applicable to their transactions. To create the appearance that the claimed exemption was valid, they created virtual corporate presences in Minnesota, Texas, and Delaware. The SEC also charged 12 entities that they operated in connection with the scheme.
According to the SEC's complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Garber, Manis, Yellin, and Feinstein all live in the New York/New Jersey area and operated the scheme from 2007 to 2010. Each has previously worked in the securities industry, either as a registered representative or as a provider of investment management or financial advisory services.
The SEC's complaint seeks a final judgment, among other things, ordering all of the defendants to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and financial penalties; permanently enjoining all the defendants from future violations of the securities laws; and permanently enjoining all the defendants from participating in penny stock offerings. The investigation is continuing.
Research Analyst Charged by SEC With Pre-Merger Trading, Tipping
In a case already underway, the SEC has filed additional charges—this time against a research analyst accused of trading and tipping in advance of the acquisition of SPSS Inc. by IBM. Already charged in November were two brokers: Thomas Conradt, the analyst's roommate, and Conradt's friend David Weishaus.
In an amended complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, the SEC is now charging research analyst Trent Martin, who was the brokers' source of confidential information in an insider trading scheme that yielded more than $1 million in illicit profits. Martin worked at a Connecticut brokerage firm and specialized in Australian equity investments. He learned nonpublic information about the impending IBM-SPSS transaction, including the anticipated share price and the names of the companies, from an attorney friend who was working on the deal. The attorney had told Martin about it, seeking advice and moral support on this large assignment.
Instead of keeping the information confidential, Martin capitalized on it by buying shares in SPSS and then telling his roommate Conradt about it. Martin was persistent, too; on the very first business day after his attorney friend told him about the deal, he tried to buy shares in SPSS, but failed in his first three attempts because his brokerage account did not have sufficient funds for the transaction. Rather than give up, Martin wired $50,000 from his checking account into the brokerage account, and then managed to complete his purchase.
Conradt, for his part, once he knew of the IBM-SPSS deal, relayed the information to Weishaus; both of them also took advantage of their illicit knowledge. Martin was specifically named as their source in instant messages between Conradt and Weishaus about their illegal trading.
When he learned of the SEC's investigation, Martin fled the country for Australia. He is now living in Hong Kong. In a statement, Daniel Hawke, director of the SEC's Philadelphia regional office, said, "Martin is a licensed professional who knowingly disregarded insider trading laws to enrich himself, and then fled the United States when he learned of our investigation. Martin could run but he could not hide, as the long arm of the SEC will extend to those who flee the United States hoping to avoid the consequences of their unlawful conduct."
The SEC is seeking disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest and financial penalties, and a permanent injunction against the brokers. Its investigation is continuing, and it acknowledges the assistance of not only the Options Regulatory Surveillance Authority (ORSA), the New Zealand Securities Commission, and the Australia Securities and Investments Commission, but also of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Is this with the trial version?
Things to try.
1.If updating from a ' release candidate' first completely un-install previous version.
Then Go to > Windows search bar and type in %appdata% then in the Roaming data folder delete the entire QCAD file.
Then install QCAD 3 final. The roaming data will just be re-built!
2. The library files should be readable - but try setting the permissions and see if this has any effect.
Navigate to the QCAD installation folder and right click on it > then in the security tab set the permissions for yourself to read and write.

Revision [4466]
This is an old revision of JavaRuntimeEnvironment made by coolpup on 2009-11-24 01:44:40.
Java software for your computer, or the Java Runtime Environment, is also referred to as the Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, or Java download.
J.R.E. software package(s)jre-220.127.116.11.pet (installs to /mnt/home/java)
Configuring J.R.E.SeaMonkey/Firefox
Open the folder jre1.6.0_14/plugin/i386/ns7/ and drag the libjavaplugin.oji to either /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or /root/.mozilla/plugins and choose "Link (relative)." This will enable java for Seamonkey and Firefox. To check, open Seamonkey 1.1.x and then Help -> About Plugins to see java there. In Firefox, Click Tools -> Addons -> Plugins and see a java plugin there. Go to java.com and click Do I Have Java?
start OpenOffice and click Tools -> Options -> Java -> Add and then navigate to open the jre1.6.0_14 folder and click Select. It will show you that it recognizes Sun Java and then ask you to restart.
Open Opera and click Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content. Make sure Enable Java is checked and click Java Options. Click Choose to find the path jre1.6.0_14/lib/i386. Select that and click Validate Java Path.
Manual Installation1. Download Sun Java from java.com. I prefer to download it to /mnt/home to conserve my ram. If you want the latest revision you can just click the big download button, and then select the "Linux (self-extracting file)" not the one with RPM in the name. If you want an earlier version then click "Other Java Versions" and then "Archive Java Technology Products Download" under Older Versions. (One of my job sites, for instance, works best, or at all, only with 6 update 7.)
2. When the file is downloaded open a Rox window and go to the place where you downloaded Java. First, Right-Click the java file and then choose Permissions and Yes to make the file executable. Second, Right-Click -> Window -> Terminal Here.
3. In the terminal enter
(or whatever the name of the java file is). Don't forget the "./" to begin (that is period – forward slash, to indicate that the file is found in the current directory). You will need to scroll down with Enter to accept the license agreement and then the install program will create a folder named "jre1.6.0_14" or something like that.
4. Take that folder and place it at /mnt/home.

Choosing how to feed your baby is an important decision that has lifelong effects for your baby and for you. What you have seen and learned about infant feeding from your family, friends, and teachers is likely to influence your attitude and perceptions. Whether you definitely plan to breastfeed or you are still uncertain, the research is pretty clear. Your milk is the best milk for your baby, and it is the ideal first food for your baby's first several months.
Listed in the directory below is additional information about breastfeeding, for which we have provided a brief overview.
If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.

(Total Gastrectomy; Partial Gastrectomy; Subtotal Gastrectomy; Stomach Removal)
This is a surgery to remove all or part of the stomach.
|Abdominal Organs, Anterior View
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Gastrectomy is most often done to treat stomach cancer . It is currently the only way to cure stomach cancer. The use of chemotherapy and radiation may help improve survival. Even if the cancer is too advanced to be cured, gastrectomy can help to prevent bleeding, obstruction, and pain.
In addition to treating stomach cancer, this surgery may also be done to treat:
- Ulcer disease
- Bleeding
- Inflammation
- Benign tumors in the stomach
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Damage to nearby organs
- Leaking from the new connection between the stomach, intestine, and/or esophagus
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Hernia formation at the incision site
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT)—a test to check for blood in the stool
- Endoscopy—a procedure that uses a scope with a camera on the end to examine the gastrointestinal system
Imaging studies to look at the esophagus, stomach, and intestine, including:
- Upper GI series —a series of x-rays of the during and after drinking a barium solution
- CT scan
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Your doctor may recommend:
- Eating a special diet
- Taking antibiotics
- Showering the night before your surgery using antibacterial soap
- Arrange to have someone drive you to and from the hospital. Also, arrange for someone to help you at home.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
An incision will be made in your abdomen. Next, surgical instruments will be used to remove all or part of your stomach. If only part of your stomach is removed, it is called partial gastrectomy. With this type of surgery, the remaining part of your stomach will be connected to your esophagus and small intestine. If this is done for ulcer disease, the nerves that control acid production may also be cut. If all of your stomach is removed, it is called total gastrectomy. A new stomach will be made using your intestinal tissue. The end of your esophagus will be attached to your small intestine.
If you have stomach cancer, the lymph nodes will be removed and examined as well. This is because cancer can spread through your lymphatic system.
After the surgery is complete, the muscles and skin of the abdomen will be closed with stitches or staples. A dressing will be applied.
How Long Will It Take?
1-3 hours or longer
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 6-12 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
Your doctor will give you guidelines on:
- When and what you can eat
- How you need to restrict your activity
During the first few days after surgery, you may be restricted from eating. As your stomach stretches during recovery, you will be able to eat more at a time. If you had a total gastrectomy, you will need to eat smaller amounts of foods more often.
After surgery, you may experience:
- Frequent heartburn
- Abdominal pain
- Vitamin deficiencies
To treat these symptoms, your doctor will:
- Prescribe medications and vitamin supplements
- Recommend medications to reduce stomach acid
- Make changes in your diet
Your bowels will work more slowly than usual. Chewing gum may help speed the process of your bowel function returning to normal.
Preventing Infection
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Diarrhea
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Swelling and/or pain in your legs, calves, or feet
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Königsallee in Düsseldorf
A falta de 4 meses para un nuevo Carnaval, me encuentro mirando fotos y recordando mi experiencia allí este año. Düsseldorf es una ciudad que se vuelca con esta fiesta pagana. A pesar de que los alemanes no tienen, precisamente, fama de grandes fiesteros, tengo que reconocer que este Carnaval de Düsseldorf me dejó completamente sorprendido. Toda la ciudad se entrega a la fiesta y las calles son un escaparate de disfraces y carrozas sin igual. La céntrica calle Königsallee concentra la mayor parte de los eventos y es el lugar donde se debe estar estos días. El resto del año es uno de los bulevares de compras más caros y exclusivos de toda Europa. Espero regresar el próximo año!Leia mais »
Quirky Things You Didn't Know About the Rheingau Region of Germany
Home to world-famous Riesling wines, ancient castles, postcard villages with half-timbered homes, and dramatic scenery along the River Rhine, the Rheingau region of Germany is full of surprises. Here are ten quirky things you didn't know! 1) A German family owns and lives in the Rheinstein Castle This elegant 14th century castle perched above the Rhine River passed through the hands of many royal families before it went up for sale in a dilapidated state in the 1970s. The Hecher family bought it in 1975, made it their home, started renovating, and opened parts to the public to travel back in time with panoramic views on the Rhine. 2) Queen Victoria's favorite Riesling vineyard is in the little village of Hochheim. Sleepily located along the Rhine, the village of Hochheim has a rare claim to fame – it is home to Queen Victoria's favorite Riesling vineyard, and Queen Elizabeth was its most recent royal guest. Currently managed by the Flick family, it is possible to rent part of the vineyard, join the harvest, and have your own Riesling – finally something in common with the queen! 3) The Rhine valley is among the northernmost places that can grow Riesling grapes One of the northernmost regions of Europe to produce wines, the Rheingau region is blessed with sunshine, relatively moderate climate, and the right soils and inclines for wine growing. The northern location results in less ripe grapes and more acidic wines – hence some of the finest Rieslings in Europe! 4) Every wine-growing village in the Rheingau has a "wine queen" Traditionally, wine queens were the daughters of wine merchants, but with time, the title evolved into elected icons to represent the wineries of each of Rheingau village. Wine festivals are a great time to mingle with them and hear all the inside stories, challenges and joys of wine making. 5) You can sleep in a real wine barrel! Sturdy large oak barrels were once heavily used in wine production, but when some of them were rendered unusable, Hotel Lindenwirt in Rudesheim am Rhein decided to convert them into hotel rooms! Imagine sleeping with the aromas of wine and waking up to peep out of your own barrel. 6) The nuns of Hildegard Abbey have been making wine since the Middle Ages The living traditions of the Rheingau never cease to amaze! On the hill above the vineyards of Rudesheim, the abbey of St. Hildergard is the only one in Germany that has been making fine Riesling wines since the Middle Ages. You can chat with the nuns and their austere way of life, as you taste their wines. 7) There's a summer / fall wine festival in every Rheingau village What better way to immerse yourself in the wine culture of the Rhine region than attending a traditional wine festival in one of its wine-growing villages? From Rudesheim Wine Festival dating back 80+ years to the Rheingau Musik Festival, there's something for all ages and interests, and there's always plenty of wines to taste! 8) Assmannshausen is the only Rheingau village that can grow Pinot Noir (red wine) grapes While majority of the Rheingau region grows white Riesling grapes, Assmannshausen, on the river bend after Rudesheim, is the only village to have soils apt for the Pinot Noir grapes – hence producing the region's only red wines. 9) There's a "toll castle" on an island in the Rhine River The picturesque 14th century Pfalzgrafenstein Castle sits on an island in the River Rhine, and once served as a toll collection castle for all boats that passed on the river. It is accessible by a boat from the town of Kaub, and a walk down the memory lanes of the Rhine. 10) Late harvest wines were accidentally discovered at Schloss Johannisberg in 1775! Germany's oldest Riesling winery, dating back 900 years, is also the home of the wonderfully sweet late harvest wines in the region. Legend has it that in 1775, the harvest orders reached the monks a few weeks late, leading to the serendipitous discovery of Spatlese, the cherished late harvest Rieslings of the Rheingau.Leia mais »
24 Hours in Frankfurt
Frankfurt, the business and financial hub of Germany, is where the modern meets the traditional. Glance up at its skyline and you can see centuries-old refurbished architecture sharing the space with modern state-of-the-art buildings. Here's how to make the most of 24 hours in this surprising city: Morning: Grab a coffee at Frankfurt's oldest coffee house: Let the city's favorite coffee shop – Café Wacker, in the old city – wake you out of your slumber like it did the famous German writer Goethe. It's something of an institution for the residents of Frankfurt now, and will keep you coming back for more. Glimpse the passive house district: Peak out your tram window to see the historic district of DonRomer, where town houses, office buildings and schools have been converted into passive buildings, that require no external energy source for heat. Solar, cooking and human energy get stored up for internal heating in winter – isn't that the future of energy sustainability? Take a walking tour of old city: Walk into the Frankfurt city tourist office at the main train station and book yourself on a walking tour of the central district. From quirky facts and little-known stories of the city, to spectacular views above it, this will be 3 hours of your time well spent. Afternoon: Shop at an indoor farmer's market: Lose yourself in Kleinmarkthalle, a long-running indoor market in the old city of Frankfurt, where you can find everything from seasonal vegetables to local delicacies to European street food and flowers! Have a meal at a vegan café: With the vegan movement gaining pace in Frankfurt, many charming cafes and restaurants have popped up through the city for sumptuous and healthy vegan food. Pick one off happycow.net, or wander around town to find a local favorite. Spend time at the museums at the River Main embankment: If you're visiting at the end of August, coincide your dates with Frankfurt's popular Museum Embankment Festival, which grants discounted entries to most museums along the banks of the River Main – in addition to spectacular fireworks on the last night! If not, pick from one of the many museums (the Museum of World Cultures is a personal favorite) to while away your afternoon. Evening: Cruise along the River Main: Spend a lazy afternoon on-board a ferry for a slow tour of the River Main and Frankfurt's many sights. Grab a beer, soak in the sun, and feel the vibes you can't quite gather on land. Soak in the view at the top of Mainz Tower: Don't miss this one! Buy an entry ticket and ride the elevator 42 floors above Frankfurt to the top of Mainz Tower, for a breathtaking view of the city and the River Main. Ever better if you can get up at sunset and witness the sky drenched in colors! After hours: Try apple wine at a traditional cider house: Frankfurt doesn't grow its own grapes, but is surrounded by organic apple orchards, and the traditional cider houses of Zum Gemalten Haus and Wagner in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district serve up delicious apple wine! What better way to end your day in this city full of surprises?Leia mais »
Rheingau wineries
Known the world over for its fine Riesling wines, the Rhine and Mosel regions of Germany are home to passionate wine-making families, traditional abbeys where monks and nuns have produced wine since the Middle Ages, and experimental new age wineries. Here are some must stop-and-taste cellars in the region: Schloss Johannisberg The oldest Riesling winery in the region was once a monastery where monks began producing wine over 900 years ago! It is here that late harvest wines were serendipitously discovered in 1775, and on a warm sunny afternoon, you can try their finest Rieslings in an ancient cellar or with a panoramic view of Johannisberg and its vineyards. St Hildegard Abbey The only nunnery in Germany that has been producing wine since the Middle Ages, St Hildegard Abbey, perched on a hill above the popular town of Rudesheim, is an experience. Stop by the majestic church on the premises, walk through the carefully pruned vineyards, chat with the traditionally attired nuns about their austere way of life, and sip some of their finest Rieslings. Kloster Eberbach A Cistercian monastery up until the 1800s, Kloster Eberbach, located near the village of Eltville, continues its wine traditions to this day, while also playing host to the famous Rheingau Musik Festival. Taste wines as you walk through time along the stunning Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and sneak a peek at the historic wine presses once used in wine production. Weingut Allendorf Have you ever considered the role of color on your taste buds? You'll think about it when you sip the same glass of wine at Weingut Allendorf in different colored lights. You have to experience this family-run winery's tastings to believe it, in the twin town of Oestrich-Winkel along the Rhine. Weingut Rossler If you're looking for a hands-on wine growing and tasting experience, look no further than Weingut Rossler in the sleepy little village of Lorch. Follow the Rossler family to their vineyards to help with pruning or harvesting, taste their fine home-made Rieslings in their modern cellar, or sit back at their cozy outdoor restaurant with a glass of wine; everyone knows everyone else in this village and you won't be a stranger for long! Flick Winery aka Queen Victoria vineyard You need a reason to take a detour to the small village of Hochheim along the Rhine, and I'll give you a good one – this is Queen Victoria's favorite Riesling vineyard and Queen Elizabeth was its most recent guest. Meet the Flick family and feel a little like royalty, as you taste their 'royal' wines! Need I say more? Berg's Alte Bauernschanke The only village to grow Pinot Noir (red wine) grapes along the Rhine is the picturesque half-timbered village of Assmannshausen; homed in one such building is Berg's – a horse stable in the 1400s! Konrad Berg, the third generation owner, is a hobbyist wine maker, with vineyards scattered across the Rheingau for different grape variety. Stop by for a glass of wine, indulge in a wine spa and peek into life in the bygone days. Weinsinnig The Mosel is home to the steepest vineyards of Germany, and you don't have to stray far from the quirky city of Trier to realize that. Take in the majestic Roman ruins and the youthful vibe of the city, but don't forget to show up for a wine tasting of the finest Mosel Rieslings at Weinsinning, a charming neighborhood restaurant and wine bar that handpicks and displays the region's best wines on its wine wall. Traditional cider houses Back in the 1500s, the vineyards of Frankfurt were irrevocably attacked by parasites, leading locals to the realization that growing grapes in this soil was near impossible. They turned to apple orchards for wine, and the famous Apfelwein (apple wine) is served to this day in the traditional cider houses of Zum Gemalten Haus and Wagner in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district.Leia mais »
Rudesheim Wine Festival
For years, my trips to Germany were synonymous with beer. From Munich to Hamburg to Berlin, whichever part of the country I found myself in, I would seek out the sunniest beer gardens and find myself chugging a pint of home-brewed Weissbier or Radler, cheering prost as our glasses clinked, and dreaming, perhaps like any other beer lover, of reveling in the Oktoberfest of Bavaria. Then one day, in a casual chat with a German friend, I was let into a world I didn't know existed in Germany – the world of German wine-makers in the Rheingau region, only an hour from Frankfurt. The next thing I knew, it was mid-August and I was boarding a train to Rudesheim Am Rhein, a town that sits prettily by the River Rhine and is best known for cruise ship day-trippers, to attend the Rudesheim Wine Festival, one of the oldest wine festivals in the region dating back 80+ years! The warm summer breeze of Rudesheim welcomed me as the sun set above the lush vineyards dotting the surrounding hills. The River Rhine flowed along gently, echoing the festivities in the cobbled town square. The wine queens – traditionally the daughters of wine merchants and now ambassadors of wineries in each Rheingau village – had just been crowned and were being welcomed with music and dancing on the stage. Stalls of local wineries, including the 12th century Eberbach monastery and the incidental home of late harvest wines – Schloss Johannisberg – lined the square, bringing their traditions and stories to the visitors. Cheers of zumwohl replaced prost, cozy wine gardens decked with grape vines replaced beer gardens, and old wine cellars replaced microbreweries. My discovery of Germany's lesser-known wine culture was just getting started! The four days of Rudesheim Wine Festival felt like the gentle unwrapping of a precious present. One afternoon, I found myself hiking with the locals in the vineyards of Rudesheim, greeted every now and then by local wine makers for a taste of their finest Rieslings. On another, a wine merchant invited me to a special parade of wine queens and wine makers across the town and its vineyards. Nights were spent sampling Rieslings and tales of bygone days with the local wine growers, as the church bells tolled to compliment German music and the aroma of freshly baked flamkuchens. But the highlight of the festival came unexpectedly on the last night, when most visitors had retired home, leaving only the residents of Rudesheim to celebrate centuries of a close-knit wine culture. Three generations of each family descended upon the town square, held hands and sang songs about Rudesheim and the Rhine, cheered the wine queens and wine makers on stage, and danced unreservedly into the night. I felt far from Bavaria and yet in the heart of Germany!Leia mais »

Blutenfest des Rotes Moselweinbergpfirsich
We hebben éven moeten oefenen, maar na een tijdje rolde Rote Moselweinbergpfirsich vanzelf uit onze mond. Toch kan je in Cochem ook gewoon Rud Peesche zeggen, het plaatselijke dialect voor deze kleine perzik met haar robijnrode vruchtvlees die overal in de Moezelvallei groeit. Terwijl de wijngaarden er nog kaal bijliggen, zijn de roze bloemen van de Moezel-Wijnbergperzik al een fleurige voorbode van de lente. Goed nieuws voor de plaatselijke wijnboeren dus, maar ook voor al wie dol is op perziken, want dan wordt er in Cochem smakelijk gefeest.Leia mais »
Voor de ene is het een stukje Frankrijk in Duitsland, voor de andere is het een stukje Duitsland dat ook in Frankrijk niet zou misstaan. Wij houden het bij typisch Duits met een stevige Franse twist: Saarland. De kleinste Duitse deelstaat ging een paar keer over en weer tussen beide landen, was tweemaal op zichzelf en werd in 1957 definitief bij Duitsland ingelijfd. Het resultaat is een grensoverschrijdende kruisbestuiving van savoir-vivre en savoir-faire die zich vooral in de lokale gastronomie laat gelden. Wij trokken in Saarland letterlijk van de ene rijk gedekte tafel naar de andere, gingen er tafeltoeren en lieten ons galant overtuigen van het feit dat je van 'een schone tafel' wél kan eten.Leia mais »

I decided to go from version 3.0 RC2 to version 3.0 Final.
I opened the program and I tried to customize the layout of the various toolbars and panels "Layer", "Blocks", etc..
On the next reboot all settings are lost and QCAD presents itself as image attached.
How can I fix?
Monday, 16 December 2013, 14:49 GMT+2
Reason for closing: Works for me
With a new installation of QCAD 3.0 RC2 the problem is not present.
I've solved the problem!
The problem occurs when you change more than one parameter. For example, if I resize the main window and take off the command bar these changes are not saved when I close and reopen the program.
If I make one change, I close and reopen it there is no problem. It 's more like a long way but it works.
