HOLZ-HER and Zottler: Styrian Connection
The Zottler Cabinet Making Shop in Styrian, Austria, handles all types of classic construction and furniture making work. Their operations depend on machines from HOLZ-HER for universal applications.
[...] As a master cabinet maker, Zottler builds high quality furnishings for residential dwellings, hotels and restaurants as well as complete furnishings for retirement and nursing homes and student dormitories for customers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. "Recently we just completed 250 kitchens as well as the complete room furnishings for student dormitories in Graz's CoolCity [...] For the team with its 48 employees working like a small industrial mass-production shop in two-shift operation, failure of a machine would be disastrous. During the last 5 years a great deal of time has been spent developing efficient processes and a bundle of money invested in state-of-the-art machines to ensure that these processes run smoothly.
What brought you to HOLZ-HER? Zottler: "After the initial period nearly ten years ago, we were confronted with the decision whether to spend a lot of money to convert the old panel saw or just buy a new one right away. We made a foresighted decision. An existing contact recommended HOLZ-HER. And ever since that time, Zottler has invested regularly in new machines from the plant in Voitsberg, which is only an hour's drive, "because when it comes to our essential machines, we only want one company to contact, who needs to be in the vicinity and offer true Austrian quality." And if things ever get really critical, interjected Peter Gadi, Regional Sales Manager at HOLZ-HER and responsible for the projects at Zottler, we send a service technician to Passail immediately to solve the problem.
The extensive machine park from Holz-Her, now in use at the Zottler Cabinet Making Shop, covers all processing steps for mass-produced furniture, thus ensuring continuous work flow: [...]

Innovation makes the difference - EVOLUTION is the motor
The Stöcklin & Schwab Carpentry Shop was founded in 1960. In addition to production of furniture for interior finishing, the company's fields of activity have also developed to include industrial furnishings and exhibition stand construction. Moreover the carpentry shop also produces furnishings for aircraft using special light-weight material and, in the meantime, thanks to their proximity to the Basel airport, are a certified supplier for equipping private aircraft with high quality furnishings.
The company is also dedicated to sound environmental policies and, since 1996 has reduced its use of fossil fuels to zero using state-of-the-art heating technology to process and produce heat from its own wood remnants.
The Stöcklin & Schwab Carpentry Shop is very committed, placing high social demands on the company itself. This is evidenced by their membership in a variety of associations. The carpentry shop is committed to a variety of local projects, having begun a cooperative educational project with the local junior high school. Within the scope of this educational cooperation, the carpentry shop sponsors project days at the junior high. Moreover, for over 10 years they have participated in the Germany-wide Girls Day, encouraging girls to consider occupations in typical masculine domains such as carpentry. In 2015, the carpentry shop sponsored a musical performed by the local high school, helping students to plan and build a complex stage set.
Proprietor Michael Schwab considers innovation to be a decisive, differentiating feature for increasing customer loyalty. The objective of the carpentry shop has always been to provide customers with products to meet the desired quality criteria at all times. And they plan to continue to satisfy customers with top quality products in the future.
For this reason proprietor Michael Schwab decided to invest in an EVOLUTION 7405 vertical CNC machining center from HOLZ-HER. The EVOLUTION 7405 offers complete CNC machining in compact format. Workpieces can be machined on all four edges without reclamping. The carpentry shop produces large orders in the field of wall cabinets and built-in cabinets of all types on the EVOLUTION. Moreover they use the Pic2Plate software very successfully. This allows light-reflex engraving with a relief effect for unique visual and tactile works of art. It offers a wide variety of applications on various panel materials, such as engraving for interior design in business and residential rooms, staircases and store furnishings.
Convincing features include the minimum space requirement and high flexibility
The Wendt Construction and Cabinet Making Shop was founded by Master Cabinetmaker Sönke Wendt in Wasbek in Schleswig-Holstein in 1990. Since its establishment, the cabinet making shop has continued to expand and has regularly invested in machines featuring state-of-the-art technology. In 2013 Torge Wendt entered the company as the "junior" partner. After vocational training as a master cabinetmaker, he completed a university curriculum in interior design, allowing the Wendt Cabinet Making Shop to refine its offerings in the area of custom furniture and interior finishing.
The cabinet making shop places maximum demands on the quality of the work performed by its joiners and cabinetmakers. It uses state-of-the-art CNC technology, optimized work processes and intelligent software to meet the demands of its customers on schedule and with maximum cost efficiency. The focus is on a combination of highly skilled craftsmanship and a distinct passion for cabinetmaking.
The company is very open regarding its acceptance of new technologies. For this reason, in 2015 they invested in an EVOLUTION 7405 vertical CNC machining center from HOLZ-HER.
The proprietors are very satisfied with the new machine. One of the primary reasons for this is its ease of operation, allowing them to start production immediately without extensive training. Above all, the software components, Hops and CabinetControl, are extremely intuitive, enormously facilitating production of cabinets and kitchen furniture. But the new CNC machine is also used for other areas of production. For example, they have already produced staircases and small batches of designer chairs with the EVOLUTION.
The vertical CNC machines from HOLZ-HER offer maximum flexibility while simultaneously requiring minimum space - a competitive advantage, which convinced the decision-makers at the Wendt Cabinet Making Shop.
Right through the ceiling - nothing is impossible
It was certainly an adventurous process installing the EVOLUTION 7405 CNC machining center in Frank Miller's Carpentry Shop in Vilsingen. Due to the limited space available, the master carpenter opened up the workshop roof in August 2016, to get the new CNC machine into the workshop in an very unconventional manner - through the roof with a crane.
The EVOLUTION 7405 allows work in a very limited space, and is therefore the perfect solution for Miller's Carpentry Shop. Now it is possible to perform precision CNC machining with only 5 square meters of space. Miller's Carpentry Shop even produces block frames with the new EVOLUTION 7405. The carpentry shop's line of products also includes production of custom furniture as well as stairs for private and corporate customers.
Perfect manufacturing cell with small space requirements
For over 15 years the joinery Schifer in Baiersbronn has been working with HOLZ-HER machines. In 2016 one more machine from HOLZ-HER has been added to the machine park of the joinery. A machining center EVOLUTION 7405 completes the already existing machinery consisting of a panel saw 1265 and an edgebander UNO 1302. The decisive factor of this investment was amongst others, that this new manufacturing cell can be used on less space and therefore meets the requirements of the joinery perfectly.
The joinery Schifer is specialized in the construction of interior furnishings for mobile homes. To enable perfectly equipped mobile homes, the demands on the quality of the machines are really high. The EVOLUTION 7405 allows complete formatting of the panel material and works extremely precise and reliable.
Effektive work with minimum space requirement: The Suske joinery invests in an EVOLUTION 7405
The Suske joinery in Emmingen-Liptingen, under the leadership of Martin Suske as of now produces with a machining centre EVOLUTION 7405 from HOLZ-HER.
The EVOLUTION 7405 offers absolutely precise edge routing on all four workpiece edges and thus complete formatting for panel material.
First-class results due to Clamex processing
The joinery Pillmayer located in Bad Boll operates for a long time in woodworking under the leadership of Timo Kraus. With a lot of hard work and craftsmanship the small joinery became a well-known company. Based on experiences collected in over a century of existence, the joinery Pillmayer is still focusing on quality and customer satisfaction.
As of late Mr. Pillmayer invested in a new machining centre EVOLUTION 7405 from the HOLZ-HER company. Unique in its class, the EVOLUTION 7405 4mat offers absolutely precise edge routing on all four workpiece edges and thus complete formatting for panel material. The new "connect" version opens up completely new possibilities allowing pockets and grooves to be cut for connectors such as the P-System Connector from Lamello. Naturally, you can cut pockets for these - as well as other - connectors on all four edges as well as in the X and Y direction. For this purpose HOLZ-HER has supplemented the EVOLUTION to include an additional seventh tool changer location as well as the matching programming macro.
On growth course with the vertical CNC
Komex International, S.A. is a company which originates to 100 % from Panama. It was founded in 1967 by Max Fux, an entrepreneur from Panama who initially had the idea to found a company that was to act as a supplier to the local large and small construction companies and metal hardware stores. Over time, the quality of the products which were sold to the clients became more and more decisive, so that Komex International S.A. turned into an important quality supplier for its customers.
Komex has been using wood-working machines from HOLZ-HER for several years. The cooperation exists since the year 2001 and Komex is very satisfied with the acquired products. The last investment done was the CNC EVOLUTION 7405, the vertical milling and drilling center, which allows enormous flexibility and increases productivity significantly. "The investment exceeds our expectations, the machine works daily and delivers very good results", admits Mr. Raul Toro. "We are well equipped to continue our strategy of growth."
Meet perfect quality requirements
Also in Panama HOLZ-HER machines are used to achieve the best processing results out of wood and panels. Arquitectura Decorativa as part of the group "Empresas Bern" is one of our most prestigious customers in Central America. The production manager Eric states with full of conviction:
"In all our projects, we create conditions and scenarios that are geared towards enabling our customers to enjoy themselves in their home of one's own and enjoy it at any time. Our portfolio includes projects for apartments, commercial and tourist facilities in the city and also with proximity to the beach. All of Empresas Bern's properties are situated in privileged urban areas and are designed to meet the highest quality standards. For more than 3 decades we have established the latest architectural developments as well as attractive interior design and have been able to prove this in more than 135 projects so far.
The trust of our customers is the pillar of our growth. Thanks to them, we can continue our guiding principle: Panama is more valuable every day!
The ever-increasing demands of our customers for perfect quality have prompted us to look for a machine manufacturer of the highest quality. With HOLZ-HER, we have found a partner who is not only known as inventor of the edgebanding machine, and therefore enjoys an excellent reputation. Also in other product ranges, such as CNC and pressure beam saws, the products are of highest quality. We can therefore state, that the growth path that ARDECO has taken is also based on the HOLZ-HER machines. With the new vertical machining center EVOLUTION 7405, we can react very quickly and flexibly to new design requirements. This allows us a tremendous flexibility without which we could be very difficult in today's market environment."
HOLZ-HER product portfolio as central production pillar
Binni is one of the leading companies in the Republic of Kosovo in the area of interior furnishings such as doors and windows. Over 200 employees work in a production area of 18,000 m2 with a capacity of more than 10,000 doors per year as well as over 5,000 kitchens per year. Every year more than 50 new product are introduced on the market. The company exports to various European countries such as Switzerland, Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands.
Binni was founded in 1989 and represents the continuation of a family tradition. The business model combines traditional Albanian wood and furniture craftsmanship with innovative processes and technologies meeting international standards.
This international standard is guaranteed by use of highly varying HOLZ-HER machines, for a majority of the company's production. In addition to two horizontal panel saws, the company uses a vertical EVOLUTION 7405 CNC and a PRO-MASTER 7125 CNC machining center. A SPRINT 1327 edgebander is also in use. The HOLZ-HER machines are a significant production factor, which have become indispensable for this major company's everyday business.
The video pictured shows an except from Binni's image video. The complete video can be view at the Binni Youtube Channel.
Even small workshops have room for CNC
What can small shops with minimum space do to prevent being overtaken in terms of production technology? At the Mähr Carpentry Shop the answer points in the vertical direction and makes it clear: Even the smallest workshops offer space for CNC
It is well know that contemporary craftsmanship is particularly pronounced in the Vorarlberg Region of Austria. With the slogan "The nature of craftsmanship", the Mähr Carpentry Shop fits well into this picture. The congenial brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Mähr told us: "We are as innovative as possible in keeping up with the manifold challenges of the time."
"Actually we wanted to purchase a new drill", commented the two brothers in unison with regard to their decision-making process. Step for step we began to focus on CNC technology. Christoph Mähr glances into the workshop: "But a horizontal CNC machine was unthinkable, because, we simply do not have the space." The current developments in the field of vertical CNC machining centers provided the perfect solution to their investment considerations: The compact dimensions and the versatile, CNC-controlled machining capabilities offered by the new vertical machines are perfect for shops with limited space.
The decision to buy the Evolution 7405 4mat from HOLZ-HER was justified in Feldkirch by a number of outstanding technical features. These include complete machining on all four edges of the work, the unique new vacuum clamping concept and the laser measurement feature for the work with automatic compensation of the edge thickness of work already edged. Contact to Bernhard Plattner, HOLZ-HER's Regional Sales Manager, did the rest, stated Wolfgang Mähr: "We were well advised in every phase right up to inhouse training."

25 years of innovative woodworking in Tuttlingen, Germany
The Riess Carpentry Shop in Tuttlingen, Germany will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in the near future.
For some years already the carpentry shop owned by Oliver Harscher has worked successfully with various HOLZ-HER machines, such as the vertical 1215 panel saw, the AURIGA 1308 XL edgebander and now the vertical CNC EVOLUTION 7405. This perfectly matched line of HOLZ-HER products makes it possible to produce high quality furniture to satisfy the high demands of its enthusiastic customers.
We wish you maximum success and continuing successful cooperation!
Edgebanding, CNC & complete machine united in production
The Henss Interior Finishing Company in Feldkirch, better known as AUF&ZU (OPEN&CLOSE), is a satisfied HOLZ-HER customer, and, in the meantime, uses a majority of the production machines from the traditional manufacturer in Nürtingen.
The brand AUF&ZU is the result of decades of experience in interior finishing work. Starting with sliding doors, the idea was transferred to cabinet design. The cabinets have become rooms, where every inch of the room is used for a practical purpose. The AUF&ZU systems are planned to meet specific needs and visually matched to the tastes of the customer - without being subject to any limitations in design. Over 60 years of experience in the branch, has resulted in know-how appreciated by many regular customers.
All of the company's products are produce in their own shop. Since 2013 AUF&ZU has used HOLZ-HER machines for its production. Products already installed include a PRO-MASTER 7225 5-axis machining center as well as an EVOLUTION 7405 vertical CNC machining center for complete machining of all types of work. In addition to CNC machining, the company also used edgebanders from HOLZ-HER. Currently the predecessor model of the ACCURA is installed: an ARCUS 1334.
HOLZ-HER machines represent everything important for the AUF&ZU Company: Precision work, state-of-the-art engineering and use of European products, to produce high quality, enduring products for the customers.
India for advanced students
For two entire years Klaus Nusser supervised construction of a carpenter shop in India. He produces furniture for billionaires and lives among the poorest of the poor, often distraught, he always manages to get a hold on himself.
[...] Nusser's job is to plan a new workshop for Utturkar's Wood Culture. In India the company sells connectors, fittings and other furniture accessories from Germany and Italy – among others from Kesseböhmer, Grass and Hailo. To equip the showrooms, proprietor Tarek Utturkar, a master carpenter trained in Germany, also runs a carpenter shop. But the workshop, warehouse and office are spread over the sweep of a city with 5.9 million residents. Driving times of over one hour are not uncommon. Moreover the demand from the private segment is continuously increasing. "Up to now most high quality furniture has been imported", reports Nusser. "It's hard to image, how architects reacted, when they learned that the products were produced in India. We were completely equipped." The furniture and interior decoration department was therefore intended as a central pillar for the Utturkar Enterprise. When things get complicated, Nusser frequently operates the saw himself, building, for example, a desk for one of the world's richest men and furnishing his house with kitchen and bathes.
[...] On April 20, 2015 The BM editorial staff received an email: "My company is finished." The before/after comparison is impressive: While the old workshop was chaotic and dark, the new building make a friendly, structured appearance. It is filled with machines from HOLZ-HER: The vertical CNC Evolution 7405, the 6 m long 1327 Sprint edgebander and the smaller 1310 model. The Utturkar brothers purchased a relatively new Martin circular saw with digital display and took the Häusserman veneer press from the old workshop. The compressed air is supplied by a Kaeser screw-type compressor, while a stationary as well as a mobile exhaust system from Al-Ko provide for evacuation. The electrical tools from Makita are beginning to show signs of wear and an old Lamello milling machine is also present.
"Get me a CNC technician", demanded Klaus at last, because up to new he is the only one capable of operating the CNC machine. So he gets a man, who doesn't even know what a miter joint is. "This is India. It works", is the answer to the frustration of the German in the face of such incidences.
And now that everything is finished and running as planned, Klaus is beginning to think about staying in India for another year. But at the bottom line, his homesickness gets the better of him. His last email from Pune arrives on May 29, 2015: "I'm almost in the plane. Finally!" [...]

The R-EVOLUTION in the High Black Forest region
Even in the High Black Forest region HOLZ-HER is represented with its high quality machines. The Villinger Carpentry Shop, located in the southern part of the Black Forest, was founded in 1981. This traditional carpentry shop features state-of-the-art equipment for production to match the specific and individualistic desires and ideas of its customers. It addition to furniture, kitchens and doors, the scope of work also includes built-in cabinets and interior finishing work.
The Junior Partner Benjamin Villinger is convinced of the value of the new HOLZ-HER CNC machining center: "Now we are using a HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7405 for our production here in the High Black Forest - this is a true R-EVOLUTION." The carpentry shop's junior partner puts his money on state-of-the-art engineering. The possibility of complete machining is a particular advantage. Use of the 7405 from HOLZ-HER has now made it possible to format the work on all 4 sides. This reduces the cutting work and increases precision.
Optimum machining on all four edges of the work, leaves the carpentry shop with tear-free edges for further processing on the edgebander. This eliminates the need for special machines to drill holes for fittings, anchors and rows of holes, which significantly reduces the work load.
Universal use of the vertical CNC machining center and the virtually unlimited possibilities for machining the work allow the Villinger Carpentry Shop to offer their customers top quality in terms of shape, function and durability.
CNC at its best - die EVOLUTION 7405
The Schairer Carpentry Shop in Balingen, Germany has produced wooden projects for over six decades. As a traditional artisan company the carpentry shop produces furniture, interior furnishings and doors according to customer specifications with customer designs and dimensions.
Since November 2015 the carpentry shop has a new HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7405, allowing them to utilize all the advantages of complete, professional CNC processing. In the past the carpentry shop has also had positive experience with HOLZ-HER - the shop already has a 1307 edgebander and a panel processing circular saw from HOLZ-HER.
State-of-the-art machine engineering for Swiss precision
The Swiss company Bürgisser AG is an innovative enterprise with a long tradition. They specialize in custom planned, high quality kitchen furnishings. In addition, customers also receive comprehensive service and quality products from the carpentry and cabinet making shop.
Christof Bürgisser: "Our customers expect above-average quality from us, meaning that all components have to come from the CNC machines with reliable accuracy and high quality." This is the reason Bürgisser AG chose the performance package with HSK collet chucks and 6-fold tool changer. This ensures that their EVOLUTION is an extremely versatile, true CNC machining center - also for milling channels, facing, carving, etc.
Manfred Bürgisser: "As first time CNC users, we were enthusiastic about the versatility and simple macro programming of the CAMPUS/NCHops software supplied with the machine."
Complete processing on the EVOLUTION 7405
The Herbert Klapper Carpentry Shop in Lenzkirch in the German Black Forest has been working since September 2015 with its new HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7405 vertical machining center. The CNC technology makes, formatting, drilling, milling and grooving furniture parts simple as well as fun.
Complete processing on the EVOLUTION 7405!
Universal processing with the HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION
The Endl Cabinetmaking Shop in Winzer is enthusiastic: Their HOLZ-HER EVOLUTION 7405 is the perfect universal machine for processing furniture bodies:
Drilling, cutting and formating made easy!
The proprietor of the company, Roland Endl, knows many reasons why this machine has proven to be an important stanchion for the daily work process since it was purchased in 2014. Particularly the machine's minimum space requirement makes it the best alternative for medium sized shops. He was also convinced by the excellent quality of this easy-to-use machine. An important point, which supports daily business, is also the clamping concept, which does not damage the work, while allowing processing on all sides without any clamps, thus permitting complete circumferential formating, for example complete circles and discs.
In the opinion of the company proprietor the excellent support for questions regarding the application and software is also a positive factor.
Mr. Endl's final conclusion regarding his experience with HOLZ-HER is extremely positive: "The machine is ideal for processing panels - as well as for use with solid wood and our every day business is no longer imaginable without it!"

Not Tested
Before running the Arch installer, you MUST install and configure a GPT partition scheme. If you do not, you will get terrible performance when writing small files (which should effect most users).
(Pre-install) Configuring GPT (Erasing the whole disk)
You must install some tools that are not included in the installer (you do not have to update pacman):
$ dhcpcd eth0
Update `pacman` and install `gdisk`
$ pacman -Syy
$ pacman -S gdisk
Launch `gdisk`
$ gdisk /dev/sda
Since you want to start a new GPT table, choose the option to create a new GPT table. The partitioning scheme here is important(!). Since you have to use GRUB2 to boot from a GPT disk, you MUST create a 200MB blank partition that you will never touch again(!). This small partition will hold GRUB2's core.img used for booting.
Using `gdisk`, press `n` to create a new partition, keeping an eye that the start sector should be 2048 and for end sector, enter `+200M`. Do not change the partition type; it should default to 8300. Remember to not format this in the installer.
From here, you can create the rest of your partitions. We will use `parted` to make your drive bootable later. Don't forget to write the changes to disk using the `w` command in `gdisk`.
Here you should reboot. After you boot back into the installer ISO, reinstall `gdisk`.
Now we need to create an MBR for the GPT disk . This allows GRUB2 to be installed to disk.
Open `gdisk` and press `r`, then press `h`... A common looking process is below:
Command (? for help): r Recovery/transformation command (? for help): h WARNING! Hybrid MBRs are flaky and dangerous! If you decide not to use one, just hit the Enter key at the below prompt and your MBR partition table will be untouched. Type from one to three GPT partition numbers, separated by spaces, to be added to the hybrid MBR, in sequence: 2 Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): N Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #1) Enter an MBR hex code (default 83): Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y Creating entry for GPT partition #1 (MBR partition #2) Enter an MBR hex code (default 83): ... Unused partition space(s) found. Use one to protect more partitions? (Y/N): N Recovery/transformation command (? for help): o Disk size is 1250263728 sectors (596.2 GiB) MBR disk identifier: 0x00000000 MBR partitions: Number Boot Start Sector End Sector Status Code 1 * 1 1250263727 primary 0xEF Recovery/transformation command (? for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 1250263728 sectors, 596.2 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 1E222B9C-CF97-474C-AE7A-DB4B71AB163B Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1250263694 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 201421421 sectors (96.0 GiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 6143 2.0 MiB 8300 GRUB2 2 6144 268287 128.0 MiB 8300 BOOT 3 268288 1048844287 500.0 GiB 8300 ROOT Recovery/transformation command (? for help): w
What you just did, was create a Hybrid MBR. You should read more about this if you want to understand it.
At this point, you should reboot again so the kernel is aware of the disk changes.
You do not need to reinstall `gdisk` at this point.
At this point, you should install archlinux with the installer.
(Arch Installer) Installing
- Assure that you do not install/configure anything on the first 200MB partition that you created. You should start modifying and configuring partitions starting after that partition; usually /dev/sda2
- Do NOT install GRUB or any bootloader via the installer.
(Post-install) Installing GRUB2
- CHROOT into your new installation
After you have exited the installer, mount the required data in order to use your new installation:
$ mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
$ mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
$ mount -t sysfs /sys /mnt/sys
Now enter the chroot.
$ chroot /mnt bash
You are now in your new installation. From here, update pacman and install 'gdisk', 'parted', and 'grub2-bios'.
We need to do a few things here. We need change a bios_grub FLAG on that 200M partition, and we need to add a boot FLAG on the partition with your /boot partition.
$ parted /dev/sda
$(parted) set 1 bios_grub on
$(parted) set 2 boot on
Now Install GRUB2
$ grub-install --directory=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/boot --recheck --debug /dev/sda
Lastly, make a grub config. (also do this if you make changes /etc/default/grub)
$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Follow the rest of the Sections below to get all of the hardware working.
Input / Touchpad
The keyboard and touchpad work more or less without problems using the xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-synaptics modules, respectively. Right- and left-clicking works, as well as Two-Finger scroll. Tapping is enabled out of the box and can be disabled in
Installing a tool like "blueman" from the AUR and starting the bluetooth DAEMON allowed communication to bluetooth keyboards and mice. Bluetooth speakers not tested. (*users feel free to add to this)
Nvidia GPU (Optimus)
Read the Bumblebee/optimus page. I will only outline a few things...
You need to install the packages (and all of their dependencies) :
- bumblebee
- nvidia-bumblebee
- nvidia-utils-bumblebee
- bbswitch
In short, Bumblebee allows you to use the switchable GPU and use it only when you want to via the 'optirun' application.
Be sure to add 'bumblebeed' to your DAEMONS array in rc.conf.
Once you reboot, you should start seeing huge power saving.
To check and make sure that you aren't using your GPU all the time:
$ lsmod | grep nv
Should return nothing, this means your GPU is off.
You can check your GPU by running glxgears with and without the 'optirun' prefix and comparing the Frames Per Second.
Install the typical ALSA packages (libs, oss, plugins, utils). After the installation, you need to launch alsamixer
$ alsamixer
And raise the SPEAKER level, pressing ESC to save. You should now have (low quality) sound. This is a work in progress.
Suspend / Hibernate
Attempting to suspend will put your machine into a coma. The issue here is that you need to unload the EHCI module before sleeping.
Create a script:
$ nano /etc/pm/sleep.d/20-asus-u31sd
#!/bin/sh BUSES="0000:00:1a.0 0000:00:1d.0" case "${1}" in hibernate|suspend) # Switch USB buses off for bus in $BUSES; do echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind done ;; resume|thaw) # Switch USB buses back on for bus in $BUSES; do echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind done ;; esac
Give it executable flag:
$ chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/20-asus-u31sd
If you want sleep your machine when you close your lid, you need to edit ACPI handler script:
$ nano /etc/acpi/handler.sh
Change line 20, to this:
SLPB|SBTN) pm-suspend ;;
And Towards the bottom, make lines 58 and 59 look line like this:
close) pm-suspend
So now you can use the hotkey (F1) or close your lid and your laptop will sleep.

Seize the day and make the most of your life
Develop the unstoppable motivation to stop dreaming and start acting
Time is precious. You could live your whole life as if there is an infinite amount of tomorrows so everything can wait till later. Some day there will be no more.
Seize the day every day!
People who make things happen, who seize the day act as if time is at a valuable premium, aren't thinking: 'I'll do that later' or 'I might just do that one day!'. If something is worth doing it's worth doing or starting right now unless there are real reasons (not get outs and excuses) not to start it yet.
The laziness of youth is a rehearsal for the decrepitude of old age.
Seizing the day - which means seizing this moment is about developing a powerful sense of urgency around your projects and plans.Your sense of urgency is what gives dreams the life blood to come alive and work for you.
This session will inspire you to act instead of just dreaming and to seize the moment because no moment comes again.

Charity and social entrepreneurship are nothing new. Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and the Vanderbilt family helped build the cultural infrastructure of the United States. Maria Montessori, John Muir, and Florence Nightingale were early social entrepreneurs in the fields of education, conservation, and public health.
But philanthropy is becoming an increasingly important part of the fabric of the global economy. While many governments contemplate pulling back, rich people are becoming more creative and strategic about their giving, and—if Bill Gates has his way—more generous and proactive.
Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates established The Giving Pledge in June 2010: a public commitment by some of the world's richest people to give away at least half of their wealth, which in turn is meant to inspire more giving. To date, 81 billionaires have signed on, with Buffett alone pledging $37 billion.
Philanthropists are motivating their peers to do the same, and more. Donating fortunes and solving social problems today has taken on more cachet than passing on a huge inheritance or setting up posthumous monetary contributions.
U.S. universities, from Stanford to Georgetown, from Duke to Michigan, have established courses and even centers for the study of philanthropy. One approach is to study how to increase philanthropy, to get more funds for a project. Another is how to measure the effect—the impact—of philanthropy, to get more out of giving. But there are gaps in the research: limited data are available on private giving from countries other than the United States, though anecdotal evidence tells us that it is becoming more important. For example, Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong–based businessman and billionaire, has given away over $1.5 billion and has pledged a third of his fortune—an estimated contribution of $9 billion—to charitable causes.
How much a person gives is one thing. How much change it effects is another. So philanthropists and academics are focusing on impact—what difference a contribution makes—and the best way to measure that impact.
Gates says the private sector underinvests in innovations because investors—those taking the risk—receive only a small portion of the returns. The state has traditionally interceded to meet needs that fall between the cracks, but Gates argues that governments—at least those democratically elected—don't take the long view and are averse to risk.
That is where the philanthropist can fill the gap, with what Gates calls "catalytic philanthropy." Government is good at finding a few likely winners, but philanthropy is good at supporting a lot of possible winners, increasing the odds that someone will find new solutions to any given social problem.
Companies are increasingly under pressure to contribute to society, or at least to appear to be doing so. Cynics argue that the corporate world does only what is necessary to help the bottom line. Large firms are setting up corporate social responsibility divisions and touting their products' do-good qualities, in the realms of the environment, education, health, and culture. When pharmaceutical companies offer lifesaving medications such as AIDS or tuberculosis medications at reduced cost in poor countries or free up patents for generic production companies' use, are they doing so to improve the lot of the sick and poor or under legal or political pressure?
Philanthropy is becoming an increasingly important part of the fabric of the global economy.
Forbes, a magazine for and about the wealthiest people in the world, hosted a summit on philanthropy in June of this year, inviting 161 billionaires and nearly-theres to listen to keynote speakers Buffett, Steven Case, Gates, and Oprah Winfrey talk about how they could change the world. And the World Economic Forum now holds a session on social entrepreneurship—what Greg Dees defines as "pursuit of an innovative solution to a social problem."
New York City is experimenting with creative financing to solve social problems—financing that not only measures but in fact depends on results. Goldman Sachs has invested in a "social impact bond" that is funding a nonprofit to design and run a program to reduce recidivism in the city by a target amount. If the project achieves that target, Goldman Sachs gets its money back; if it exceeds the target, the investment firm will profit. Losses are limited to one-fourth of the initial $9.6 billion investment, thanks to a subsidy by Mayor Bloomberg's philanthropic foundation—demonstrating once again the importance of philanthropic risk takers.
In this issue of F&D, we look at the intersection of philanthropy, private investment, and social entrepreneurship: how people are finding better ways to solve society's most pressing problems.
Marina Primorac is Managing Editor of F&D.

John Keats: "To Autumn"
Fall is in the air. So we are reminded here in the Northern Hemisphere, by the arrival of back-to-school catalogs and tiny inedible gourds littering the desks of teachers and bank tellers. No matter how far we are from our school days, fall retains the air of fresh beginnings. And most of us are even further from our agricultural roots, making the weather a superficial consideration. It's jacket time, and the streetlights snap on earlier. When John Keats walked the English countryside in the autumn of 1819, he witnessed day-by-day the glories—and grueling labor—of the harvest and its aftermath.
In 1819 Keats was 23 years old and fully engrossed in the poetic vocation he had undertaken a few years before. Following some grim years as a surgeon's apprentice, he had abandoned the medical profession and chose to pore over Shakespeare, Greek myths, and museum artifacts. Full of breathless appeals to heroes and muses, his early published verse helped feed the cliché of the moony Romantic:
But what is higher beyond thought than thee?
Fresher than berries of a mountain tree?
More strange, more beautiful, more smooth, more regal,
Than wings of swans, than doves, than dim-seen eagle?
(from "Sleep and Poetry")
As florid as they were, his first compositions flaunt all the passion and musicality that he would refine into his most admired and enduring later work. The fanciful turns of phrase seem to unreel so easily, line after line, that it can be hard to appreciate the unease that produced them. "I have been hovering for some time between an exquisite sense of the luxurious and a love for Philosophy," Keats wrote to his friend John Taylor in 1818. The scholar Walter Jackson Bate broadly diagnosed Keats's problem as that of a house divided, his writing a struggle to unify sense and thought, the ideal and the real. By 1819, however, Keats was gaining confidence in a hunch he had articulated in a letter to his brothers two years before, which he called "negative capability"—a quality of imaginative open-mindedness in which "a sense of beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration." In an 1818 letter to his friend Richard Woodhouse, he imagined the role of the empathic, chameleon-like poet even more powerfully:
As to the poetical Character itself . . . it is not itself—it has no self—it iseverything and nothing—It has no character—it enjoys light and shade; it lives in gusto, be it foul or fair, high or low, rich or poor, mean or elevated. . . .
Over the course of that summer in the country, as he composed the series of odes that would earn him his "greatness" well over a century after his death, you can almost trace the progress of this self-shedding to its realization in "To Autumn." The poem is well-rounded in every sense—all five senses, to be exact. Visions of abundance and frantic industry yield to delicious indolence, and the poem's luxuriously light touches, fragrances, and tastes culminate in a delicate but persistent chorus.
The first stanza is a sensory glut, however mild and pretty "mists and mellow fruitfulness" may seem. The trees and vines that climb high and crawl low are full of mature fruit and nuts; the flowers keep blooming, the beehives are overflowing with honey. It has taken all summer to grow the sweetest, densest, most delectable portion of the harvest (try to imagine a rhapsody on midsummer's snap peas and kale). The end of summer is literally the fruition, the completion of a phenomenon of natural and manual labor. Sibilance ("mists," "close bosom," "bless," "moss'd," "swell," "sweet," "cease," "cells") and o-sounds, both long and short ("mellow," "bosom," "load," "round," "gourd," "more," "flowers"), help build this impression of combined pleasure and effort. Just as the mouth must work to voice a phrase such as "To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells / With a sweet kernel; to set budding more," so is this harvest fantasia really a story of effort; the sun and season must "conspire" to "load and bless," "bend," "fill … to the core," to "swell" and "plump" and "set" and "o'er-brim." Nature has been hard at work. The stanza's headiness and sensuality derives not just from gorgeous visions of fruit and flowers, but also from the outlay of energy, compressed into present-tense, monosyllabic verbs.
But it is summer, not autumn, that has "o'er brimm'd" the bees' "clammy cells" (the honeycombs of their hives). Early autumn is really summer's climax. If the sun is "maturing," it will eventually fully mature, and then . . . what? Keats lends only the hyperproductive bees the burden of thought ("they think warm days will never cease"), setting this ode apart from his others (such as "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and "Ode to Psyche"), in which the poet's own anxieties propel his subjects. In this final ode, the poet's ego is absent, signaling his developing powers of negative capability.
The poem isn't a raw record of sensation, of course. It retains touches of formal rhetoric associated with the ode. "Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?" the poet asks at the beginning of the second stanza, shifting his metaphoric imagination to see autumn as a harvester at rest. The spectacular labors of the first stanza are over; though the flowers live on and the fields are only "half-reap'd," time has passed. The slowing of time is sensual, though the pleasures are subtler when contrasted with the visual riot of the first stanza. The sounds of the second stanza are softer, too, all f's and w's: "hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind," "half-reap'd furrow," "fume," "twined flowers." The drowsy, gentle imagery betrays a dramatic compression of time: the reaper has already amassed a "store" in his granary, the wind winnows (the next step in preparing grain) its contents, and the lush growth has become overgrowth ("twined flowers"). Autumn is next conceived as a "gleaner," a kind of harvest scavenger who painstakingly picks over what the scythe (the "hook") has left behind. Finally, Autumn, as if it has all the time in the world, watches the cider ooze through the press, drop by drop. The apples that weighted the "moss'd cottage trees" have now ripened, fallen, and been crushed. The harvest is over. Autumn, who conspired with the sun to put summer into overdrive, sending the bees into a frenzy of effort, is now under its own spell, "drows'd with the fume of poppies."
The third stanza breaks the spell momentarily for the reader as well, opening with more rhetorical posturing. "Where are the songs of spring? Ay, where are they?" The rhetorical questions, exhorting the reader not to think about spring, of course immediately bring to mind that tender season, now played out. Spring's promise of growth and hopeful expenditure of energy, and summer's overwhelming bounty, are done. It is the fate of any creation. In two of Keats's odes composed just a few months before, he tries to reconcile the surrender of life's beauty to death by affirming its endurance in art, myth, and memory. "Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! / No hungry generations tread thee down," he proclaims in "Ode to a Nightingale," while the figures in the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" are "For ever panting, and for ever young; / All breathing human passion far above. . . ." But now Keats won't leave the sensual realm for the visionary or philosophical, achieving the "fellowship with essence," as he phrased it in his early long poem, Endymion, which we associate with the Romantic ideal ("I live not in myself, but I become / Portion of that around me," wrote Keats's contemporary Lord Byron in 1816).
The poem's last stanza offers a mild gesture toward "resolution" in an ever-unfolding present tense. It is early evening, and the emptied fields look warm under a pink-tinted sky. The images and sounds are specific, but the vision is comprehensive: down by the river, we hear the "wailful choir" of the gnats, while over on the hillside the lambs bleat. In the hedges the crickets sing, the robin harmonizes in the garden, and swallows twitter overhead. Keats indulges in the pathetic fallacy to strike the melancholy note (the gnats are mourning!), but as the song progresses the poet doesn't project any further emotions onto the choristers; they bleat, trill, whistle, and twitter, as is their nature. It is getting late, and the prospect of decay is everywhere, but its touch is light: "soft-dying day," "bourne aloft / Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies." It's hard not to notice, after a few readings, that although the closing scene is imbued with a sense of mortality, autumn's song sounds much like spring's. After all, the birds and the lambs, although now "full-grown," would have sung and bleated in May as well. The four distinct seasons, with all their sensuous variety, are one forward motion whose end is always death. We may rely on it, and must rely on it; the harvest is our means of surviving the cold that follows.
Though Keats doesn't make any overt attempt to reconcile autumn's tragic nature, that his consciousness makes music of the creatures' noises reminds us that this is a poetic creation. As much as the poet has absorbed his senses in an essence apart from himself, making no evaluations or claims for transcendence, he has taken pains to rescue and preserve the season whole—diminishment and all. Like the Greek figures on Keats's urn, the scene is forever unfolding, round and perfect in its paradox of action and stasis. It is always not yet winter.
"I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your Loveliness and the hour of my death," Keats wrote to his would-be love, Fanny Brawne, that summer. He had watched his own brother die of tuberculosis just a few months before, and his medical training would have made clear to him the likelihood of his own fate. As he roamed the stubble-plains of Winchester in September, tubercular bacteria were already colonizing his lungs. A few months later, the illness worsened and his doctor advised him to curb his writing to preserve what was left of his vitality. That summer of 1819, the season of Keats's flourishing that culminated in "To Autumn," would be the poet's own autumn.

In one house, Christmas dinner might mean a team of people stirring and basting for hours, while in another house, dinner might mean heading to a local restaurant. A number of local eateries will be open on Wednesday.
Christmas traditions are as varied as the families who celebrate the holiday. In one house, Christmas dinner might mean a team of people stirring and basting for hours, while in another house, dinner might mean heading to a local restaurant.
A number of Hendersonville eateries will be open on Wednesday to cater to those who prefer to dine out.
At Haus Heidelberg German restaurant in Hendersonville, owner Helge Gresser and his staff will serve 200 to 250 people on Christmas Day.
"We have people come all the way from Charlotte who used to live here," he said. "There are at least a dozen couples that I will see on Christmas Day who I haven't seen all year. I feel really good about that. People do love the tradition. I try to keep the special the same every year."
The special on Christmas Day is pork tenderloin schnitzel with port wine in a chanterelle and German forest mushroom sauce, served with egg dumpling spatzle. The appetizer is white asparagus soup with German ham, and dessert is apple strudel with a cognac vanilla sauce topped with whipped cream. Additional entrees, including pork chops and chicken, are also on the restaurant's Christmas Day menu.
"We have a lot of people that come in on Christmas because we are one of the few places that are open," Gresser said. "We used to be the only restaurant in town that was open on Christmas, but now there are others."
One of those is Season's at Highland Lake Inn. Peter Fassbender, director of food and beverage services at Season's, will serve about 700 people on Christmas Day in a buffet-style format. His menu includes turkey and root vegetable pot pie, smoked Norwegian salmon, salt-crusted New York strip steak, and apricot brown sugar glazed ham — his most popular dish.
"There is a lot of planning that goes into serving 700 people on Christmas Day," he said. "We've ordered 100 pounds of salmon and 160 pounds of ham. Getting all of that prepared in two days is quite an accomplishment, but we've been serving on Christmas Day for so long that it's pretty standard for us now."
Some families like to eat out on Christmas Day so "that one person doesn't have to be a slave in the kitchen throughout the entire day," Fassbender said. "At Season's, the family can spend the time together and forget about the cooking and the cleaning of the dishes and let us handle it for them and just enjoy their time together."
Area restaurants open on Christmas Day include:
◆ Beijing Restaurant, Kanuga Road, Hendersonville, 693-3710
◆ Black Rose, Main Street, Hendersonville, 698-2622
◆ Champa, Main Street, Hendersonville, 696-9800

According to Google, inquiring minds want to know*: what's the best dishwasher?
Well, if you read "leading consumer publications," you already know.
Bosch Ascenta dishwashers were awarded the top rating and also called the best value in 2012 (speaking of value, Bosch dishwashers ARE 10% off in June — all of them).
But the cool thing about Bosch dishwashers is all that performance comes packaged in an award-winning design that also is recognized for its excellence in conserving water and energy (more on that next week).
>> see Bosch's full trophy case here
Bosch likes to think that all its consumers enjoy these awards, because of the daily rewards they represent in dependability and simplicity and all that good stuff.
But the rewards don't stop there. Through June, you can enter to win a new iPad from Bosch and Warner Stellian Appliance. What are you going to do with your iPad, you ask? Why, watch Bosch dishwasher tips on YouTube, of course!!!!
Bonus: babies also love Bosch. Don't believe me?
*Based on my research of Google searches surrounding dishwashers. Yes, it's an exciting life I lead.

two, 2, TWO booths in ONE!
4am - wake up. 5:30am - Leave for Calera. 6am - Arrive in Calera and set up tent #1. 6:30am - Leave for Ross Bridge. 7:15am - Arrive at Ross Bridge and set up tent #2! 12pm - Break down booth #2 1pm - Arrive back in Calera 3pm - Jason arrived at Calera to help break down tent and booth #1...then drive home. Arrived home and CRASHED at approximately 4pm!
That makes for a grand total of 12 hours non stop and 2 solid hours of driving! Wow....busy day!
I did take a brief nap which has at least allowed me to stay up until 11am, but I'm on my way to crashing again! Check back here tomorrow for more updates on today's craft fair adventures and a brief review of each fair!
Here is a full view of my tent...I didn't realize until looking at these pics that it was a little lopsided! I'm sure no one else noticed either. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I'm excited about setting up on June 20th since I'll have my full inventory available!
Here are two of my cute little customers who were sweet enough (AND well behaved enough!) to let me take a picture of them wearing their new digs! It is always such an honor when a customer wants to let their child wear their outfit RIGHT THEN! Of course mom was concerned about the bows not matching, but when you're cute, you're cute, right? Matching bow or not! And yes, believe it or not they are twins! Double the cute-ness!

Fall 2009 Fabric Selections
Well, this compilation will probably turn into a jumbled mess on the screen, but I was having so many issues making a collage with them that I kind of gave up. I'll attempt that again when I don't have the threat of two shows in one day lurking over me, but for now this will have to do!
I just wanted to give everyone a sneak peek at what is to come for Fall 09. I took a poll to find out what moms of boys wanted to see more of in the way of fabrics this fall. The result was as I expected...more checks & plaids and more solid corduroys. So, I have oodles of ginghams to choose from, as well as some AWESOME embroidered corduroy and cord solids. I also added two beautiful brushed twill plaids. One, you may recognize from Fall 2008, but the pale blue one is new! I of course, had to bring back the Auburn & Alabama plaids as well! The Woodland Camo is our only whimsical print for boys this fall, but there are lots to come for Spring 2010! I think with the options given, the possiblities are endless!

Customer love
I love getting these pictures in my email! Especially when this is the first thing I see in the morning...helps put a little smile on my face!
You may recognize this little face from our Spring 2009 photo shoot (plus those ruffled legs at the top of the blog belong to her!) Sarah Kate modeled for SDD back in January when we did our photoshoot. Then, her mom held a trunk show in her home and earned several free & half priced outfits! (like that little plug for hosting a show?! ha!) This was one of them and she looks so pretty in it! I especially like the color on her and that smile is to die for!
Thanks Rhonda, for sharing pictures of your precious daughter!

A lot of families have a no-shoes rule for their homes. It just makes sense, especially for those of us who do the cleaning up after our kids stomp around in mud, playground gravel, and goodness knows what else. And wearing slippers or socks indoors makes everyone feel more cozy at home. I feel like taking my shoes off as soon as I get home helps me transition into a totally different (more relaxed!) mindset. It's the way I was raised, and wearing shoes inside just feels weird.
But I take this healthy habit a step further. I make all our visitors take off their shoes, too. Whether it's kids on a play date or adults coming over for dinner, I'll politely ask you to remove your shoes. In fact, I'm totally shameless about asking everyone.
I know some people think it's rude to ask visitors to remove their shoes. And I still remember that Sex and the City episode where Carrie's Manolos got stolen when a host forced her to remove them. Not everyone comes over prepared to go shoeless, I know -- and I'm not sure hanging out barefoot in my home is much better.
But ... I just can't abide shoes indoors. In New York City, we're always walking over urine, garbage juice, dried vomit, and all kinds of toxic waste. I don't want that tracked into my home! Plus, I don't want to torment my downstairs neighbors with the sound of noisy shoes clunking around overhead. That sound carries like crazy in my building, even with rugs on the floor.
The only people who are exempt are workers. If you're here to fix the sink, install cable, or paint the walls, by all means: Keep your shoes on. Asking fix-it guys to take off their shoes just feels like going too far.
You know what, though? Asking our guests to remove their shoes in my home is never a problem. Maybe it's just that in the city, it's sort of a given that most people take off their shoes when they get home. Usually, my adult visitors kick off their shoes automatically out of habit (on the other hand, most kids will just run in). I don't even say anything.
And by the way, shoes are safe in my hallway. I've known my neighbors for 14 years. They are not shoe-stealers. And none of my friends wear Manolos. For the record, no one covets their dusty brown Merrell mocs, their dingy gray New Balance sneakers, their scuffed clogs. No one. And for those who are worried, I have no problem with people leaving their shoes just inside next to the door.
Ideally, though, I would have a lovely basket filled with soft guest slippers in all sizes. I've known other families who do this and I've just never gotten organized enough to do it myself. I know it would make asking a lot more gracious if I could also hand over the perfect pair of slippers. Make yourself more comfortable! (And help me keep my home clean ...)
Do you ask visitors to remove their shoes in your home?

Hi everyone, i'm posting here hoping to solve a problem.
I'm trying, using an example from the redbook, to create
the nurbs of a cylinder.
I have all the parameters (knots, cntrlpoints, weights)
but i'm not sure how to pass them in the code.
I've a couple of doubts regarding the definitions given in the redbook:
void gluNurbsSurface (GLUnurbsObj *nobj, GLint uknot_count,
GLfloat *uknot, GLint vknot_count, GLfloat *vknot,
GLint u_stride, GLint v_stride, GLfloat *ctlarray,
GLint uorder, GLint vorder, GLenum type);
- what are u_stride and v_stride? The book wasn't really clear.
- are uorder and vorder the degrees of the curves?
- do i have to use GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4 because i have {x,y,z,w} in my control points?

Calcium is the most plentiful mineral found in the human body. The teeth and bones contain the most calcium. Nerve cells, body tissues, blood, and other body fluids contain the rest of the calcium.
Alternative Names
Diet – calcium
Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the the human body. Calcium helps form and maintain healthy teeth and bones. Proper levels of calcium over a lifetime can help prevent
Calcium helps your body with:
Building strong bones and teeth
Clotting blood
Sending and receiving nerve signals
Squeezing and relaxing muscles
Releasing hormones and other chemicals
Keeping a normal heartbeat
Food Sources
Many foods contain calcium, but dairy products are the best source. Milk and dairy products such as yogurt, cheeses, and buttermilk contain a form of calcium that your body can absorb easily.
Whole milk (4% fat) is recommended for children ages 1 to 2. Adults and children over the age of 2 should drink low-fat (2% or 1%) or skim milk and other dairy products. Removing the fat will not lower the amount of calcium in a dairy product.
Yogurt, most cheeses, and buttermilk are excellent sources of calcium and come in low-fat or fat-free versions.
Milk is also a good source of phosphorus and magnesium, which help the body absorb and use calcium.
Vitamin Dis needed to help the body use calcium. Milk is fortified with vitamin D for this reason.
Green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, collards, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, and bok choy or Chinese cabbage are good sources of calcium.
Other sources of calcium that can help meet your body's calcium needs:
Salmon and sardines canned with their soft bones
Almonds, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, tahini, and dried beans
Blackstrap molasses
Calcium is added to several food products, such as orange juice, soy milk, tofu, ready-to-eat cereals, and breads. These are a very good source of calcium for persons who do not eat a lot of dairy products or who are on a vegan diet.
Ways to make sure you receive or absorb the calcium in your diet:
Cook foods in a small amount of water for the shortest possible time to keep more calcium in the foods you eat.
Be careful about what you eat with calcium-rich foods. Certain fibers, such as wheat bran and foods with oxalic acid (spinach and rhubarb) can bind with calcium and prevent it from being absorbed.
Calcium is also found in many multivitamin-mineral supplements. The amount varies depending on the. supplement. Dietary supplements may contain only calcium or calcium with other nutrients such as vitamin D. Check the label on the Supplement Facts panel to determine the amount of calcium. Calcium absorption is best when taken in amounts of no more than 500 mg at a time.
Two commonly available forms of calcium dietary supplements include citrate and carbonate.
Calcium citrate is the more expensive form of the supplement. It is taken up well by the body on a full or empty stomach.
Calcium carbonate is less expensive. It is absorbed better by the body if taken with food. Calcium carbonate is found in over-the-counter antacid products such as Rolaids or Tums. Each chew or pill usually provides 200-400 mg of calcium. Check the label for the exact amount.
Other types of calcium in supplements and foods include lactate, gluconate, and phosphate.
Side Effects
Increased calcium for a limited period of time does not normally cause side effects. However, receiving higher amounts of calcium over a long period of time raises the risk of
Those who do not receive enough calcium over a long period of time can develop
Persons with
Tell your health care provider about any dietary supplements and medicines you take. Your provider can tell you if those dietary supplements might interact or interfere with your prescription or over-the-counter medicines. In addition, some medicines might interfere with how your body absorbs calcium.
The preferred source of calcium is calcium-rich foods such as dairy products. Some people will need to take
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamins and minerals reflects how much of each vitamin or mineral most people should get each day. The RDA for vitamins and minerals may be used to help create the goal for each person.
How much calcium you need depends on your age and gender. Other factors, such as pregnancy and illnesses, are also important.
Infants (Adequate Intake)
- 0 – 6 months: 200 milligrams per day (mg/day)
- 7 – 12 months: 260 mg/day
Children and Adolescents
- 1 – 3 years: 700 mg/day
- 4 – 8 years: 1,000 mg/day
- 9 – 18 years: 1,300 mg/day
- 19 – 50 years: 1,000 mg/day
- 50 – 70 years:
Men – 1,000 mg/day; Women – 1,200 mg/day
- Over 71 years – 1,200 mg/day
Pregnancy and Breast-feeding
- 14 – 18 years: 1,300 mg/day
- 19 – 50 years: 1,000 mg/day
Up to 2,500 – 3,000 mg a day of calcium from dietary sources and supplements appears to be safe for children and adolescents, and 2,000 – 2,500 mg a day appears to be safe for adults.
The following list can help you determine how much calcium you are getting from food:
- 8-ounce glass of milk = 300 mg of calcium
- 2 ounces of Swiss cheese = 530 mg of calcium
- 6 ounces of yogurt = 300 mg of calcium
- 2 ounces of sardines with bones = 240 mg of calcium
- 6 ounces of cooked turnip greens = 220 mg of calcium
- 3 ounces of almonds = 210 mg of calcium
Vitamin D is needed to help the body absorb calcium. When choosing calcium supplements, look for ones that also contain vitamin D.
