What is Impress?
Impress is OpenOffice.org's slide show (presentations) program. You can create slides that contain many different elements, including text, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, charts, clip art, and a wide range of graphic objects. Impress also includes a spelling checker, a thesaurus, prepackaged text styles, and attractive background styles.
This chapter includes instructions, screenshots, and helpful hints to guide you through the Impress environment while designing the easier presentations. Although more difficult designs are mentioned throughout this chapter, explanations for creating them are in the Impress Guide. If you have a working knowledge of how to create slide shows, we recommend you use the Impress Guide for your source of information.
Note: To use Impress for more than very simple slide shows requires some knowledge of the elements which the slides contain. Slides containing text use styles to determine the appearance of that text. Slides containing objects are created the same way that drawings are created in Draw. For this reason, we recommend that you also study Chapter 8 (Getting Started with Draw) and Chapter 13 (Working with Styles).
Creating a new presentation
This section describes how to set up a new presentation. The settings selected here are general: they apply to all the slides. The section Working with slides explains how to apply settings to specific slides. These explanations can also apply to some of the general settings.
Planning a presentation
The first thing to do is to decide what you are going to do with the presentation. For example, putting a group of digital photos together in a presentation requires very little planning. However, using a presentation to increase the knowledge of others about your topic requires much more planning.
Note: This chapter has been put into presentation form and is available for download from http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/user_howtos/Simple_Presentation.odp. It was developed by using the steps in this chapter.
You need to ask and answer many questions before you begin creating a presentation. If you are not acquainted with creating presentations, the answers will be more general. Those who have created a variety of presentations in the past will want to have more specific answers.
Who is to see the presentation? How will it be used? What is the subject matter? What should be in its outline? How detailed should the outline be? Will an audio file be played? Is animation desirable? How should the transition between slides be handled? These are some of the many questions that should be asked, answered, and written down before creating the presentation. Sound and animation are more advanced topics and are explained in the Impress Guide.
Again, it is not always necessary at this point to have specific answers to every question. Making an outline is extremely important. You may already know exactly what some of the slides will contain. You may only have a general idea of what you want on some of the slides. That is alright. You can make some changes as you go. Change your outline to match the changes you make in your slides.
The important part is that you have a general idea of what you want and how to get it. Put that information on paper. That makes it much easier to create the presentation.
Starting the Presentation Wizard
You can start Impress in either of two ways:
- Click the triangle to the right of the New Icon and select Presentation from the drop-down menu.
- Choose File > New > Presentation from the menu bar.
When you start Impress, the Presentation Wizard appears (Figure 1).
Tip: If you do not want the wizard to start every time you launch Impress, select the Do not show this wizard again checkbox.
Figure 1. Using the Presentation Wizard to choose the type of presentation.
Select Empty Presentation under Type. It creates a presentation from scratch.
Tip: Leave the Preview checkbox selected, so templates, slide designs, and slide transitions appear in the preview box as you choose them.
Note: From Template uses a template design already created as the basis for a new presentation. The wizard changes to show a list of available templates. Choose the template you want. Open Existing Presentation continues work on a previously created presentation. The wizard changes to show a list of existing presentations. Choose the presentation you want. Both of these options are covered in the Impress Guide.
Click Next. The Presentation Wizard step 2 appears. Figure 2 shows the Wizard as it appears if you selected Empty Presentation at step 1. If you selected From Template, an example slide is shown in the Preview box.
Figure 2. Selecting a slide design using the Presentation Wizard.
Choose a design under Select a slide design. The slide design section gives you two main choices: Presentation Backgrounds and Presentations. Each one has a list of choices for slide designs. If you want to use one of these other than <Original>, click it to select it.
The types of Presentation Backgrounds are shown in Figure 2. By clicking an item, you will see a preview of the slide design in the Preview window. Impress contains three choices under Presentations: <Original>, Introducing a New Product, and Recommendation of a Strategy.
- <Original> is for a blank presentation slide design.
- Both Introducing a New Product and Recommendation of a Strategy have their own prepackaged slide designs. Each design appears in the Preview window when its name is clicked.
Note: Introducing a New Product and Recommendation of a Strategy are prepackaged presentation templates. They can be used to create a presentation by choosing From template in the first step (Figure 1).
Select how the presentation will be used under Select an output medium. Most often, presentations are created for computer screen display. Select Screen.
Click Next. The Presentation Wizard step 3 appears (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Selecting a slide transition effect and speed.
Choose the desired option from the Effect drop-down menu.
Tip: You might want to accept the default values for both Effect and Speed unless you are skilled at doing this. Both of these values can be changed later while working with Slide transitions and animations. These two are explained in more detail later in this chapter.
Select the desired speed for the transition between the different slides in the presentation from the Speed drop-down menu. Medium is a good choice for now.
Click Create. A new presentation is created.
Note: If you selected From template on step 1 of the Wizard, the Next button will be active on step 3 and other pages will be available. These pages are not described here.
Formatting a presentation
Now comes the part where you put your presentation together based upon your outline. This is done using the Main window of Impress (Figure 4). We will first describe the purpose of each part of this window. Afterwards, we will describe how to use them in putting your presentation together.
Figure 4: Main window of Impress.
Main window of Impress
The Main window has three parts: the Slides pane, Workspace, and Tasks pane. The Slides pane contains thumbnail pictures of the slides. You can select an individual slide and perform other operations. The Workspace is where most of the work is done to create individual slides. The Tasks pane contains a group of four tasks which affect styles, the layout, animation, and transitions between slides in your presentation.
Tip: You can remove either the Slides pane or Task pane from view by clicking the x to close it like any other window, or by using View > Slide Pane or View > Task Pane. To restore the Slide or Task panes, select View >Slide Pane or View > Task Pane respectively.
Slides pane
The Slides pane contains the thumbnail pictures of the slides in your presentation. They are in the order they will be shown in a default presentation. Clicking a slide selects it and places it in the Workspace.
Several additional operations can be performed on one or more slides in the Slides pane:
- Add new slides at any place within the presentation after the first slide.
- Mark a slide as hidden so that it will not be shown as part of the slide show.
- Delete a slide from the presentation if it is no longer needed.
- Rename a slide.
- Copy or move the contents of one slide to another (copy and paste, or cut and paste, respectively).
It is also possible to perform the following operations, although there are more efficient methods than using the Slides pane.
- Change the slide transition following the selected slide or after each slide in a group of slides.
- Change the sequence of slides in the presentation.
- Change the slide design. (A window opens allowing you to load your own design.)
- Change slide layout for a group of slides simultaneously. (This requires using the Layouts section of the Tasks pane.)
The Workspace has five tabs: Normal, Outline, Notes, Handout, and Slide Sorter. These five tabs are called View Buttons (Figure 5). There are also many toolbars which can be used to create a slide. View > Toolbars shows a list of what is available. The Workspace section is below the View Buttons. This is where you put the various parts of your selected slide together.
Figure 5
Figure 5: View buttons.
Each view is designed to make completing certain tasks easier.
- Normal view is the main view for creating individual slides. Use this view to format and design and to add text, graphics, and animation effects. Many of the other sections in this chapter describe how to create and edit slides in Normal view. Additional information is available in the Impress Guide.
- Outline view shows topic titles, bulleted lists, and numbered lists for each slide in outline format. Use this view to rearrange the order of slides, edit titles and headings, rearrange the order of items in a list, and add new slides.
- Notes view lets you add notes to each slide that are not seen when the presentation is shown. Just click on the words "Click to add notes" and begin typing. You can resize the notes text box using the green resizing handles and move it by placing the pointer on the border, then clicking and dragging. Changes can also be made in the text style using the F11 key.
- Slide Sorter view shows a thumbnail of each slide in order. Use this view to rearrange the order of slides, produce a timed slide show, or add transitions between selected slides.
- Handout view lets you print your slides for a handout. You may choose one, two, three, four, or six slides per page from Task pane > Layouts. This choice determines how many thumbnails are visible. You can rearrange the thumbnails in this view by simply dragging and dropping them.
Task pane
The Task pane has four sections:
- Master Pages: Here you define the Page Style you will be using for your presentation. Impress contains five prepackaged Master Pages (slide masters). One of them—Default—is blank, and the rest have a background.
Tip: Press F11 to open the Styles and Formating window, where you can modify the styles used in any slide master to suit your purpose. This can be done at any time.
- Layout: Twenty prepackaged layouts are shown. You can choose the one you want, use it as it is or modify it to your own requirements. At present it is not possible to create custom layouts.
- Custom Animation: A variety of animations for selected elements of a slide are listed. Animation can be added to a slide, and it can also be changed or removed later.
- Slide Transition: Fifty-six transitions are available, including No Transition. You can select the transition speed (slow, medium, fast). You can also choose between an automatic or manual transition, and how long you want the selected slide to be shown (automatic transition only).
Building a presentation
This process begins with the decision as to what basic characteristics you want all the slides to have. These characteristics determine which slide master you will use for your slides and what modifications if any you will make to it.
Choosing a slide master
A Slide Master is a slide with a specified set of characteristics which is used as the beginning point for creating other slides. These characteristics include the background, objects in the background, formatting of any text used, and any background graphics.
Note: Impress uses three interchangeable terms for this one concept. Master slide, slide master, and master page all refer to a slide that is used to create other slides. This chapter and the Impress Guide, however, use only the term slide master.
For a simple presentation, there is normally only one Master Page. All slides are created by adding elements to the Master Page. Another Master Page can be used for some of the slides if so desired.
If you decide later that the Master Page you chose does not meet your needs, you can still choose a different Master Page, or you can change parts of your Master Page. All the slides which apply this Master Page will be changed the same way.
Tip: As you are developing your slide master and then succeeding slides, use F5 or F9 regularly to see what the slide you are working on looks like full screen. Then use the Esc key to return to your work of creating your slide show. You can spot problems sooner and easier this way.
You should first determine the styles you want to use for your presentation. There are five prepackaged slide masters, found in the Master Pages section of the Task pane (Figure 6). Pick the one that comes closest to what you want. We look at how to make changes in the slide master later.
Figure 6: Available slide masters.
Note: The Default Master Page is a blank slide with specific Outline styles. The other four Master Pages contain designs as well as specific Outline styles.
To see what is possible to do, look at how the prepackaged Master Pages were made. To do this, select View > Master > Master Slide to open the Master Pages section. Since the Default Master Page is blank, consider only the other four available Master Pages.
Tip: View > Master > Master Slide allows you to make changes in the slide master. Whatever changes are made to the slide master will be made on all the slides of the presentation. View > Normal allows you to work only on individual slides, but none of these changes will change the slide master on which the slide is based.
The first two steps to building a presentation are: Select the slide master which comes closest to meeting your needs, and save the presentation. Then you need to modify the slide master.
Caution: Remember to save frequently while working on the presentation, to prevent any loss of information should something unexpected occur. You might also want to activate the AutoRecovery function (Tools > Options > Load/Save > General). Make sure Save AutoRecovery information every is selected and that you have entered a number of minutes. (Set the value between 5 and 10 minutes.)
Make changes to the slide master you have chosen by selecting View > Master > Master Slide. Most of this is done using styles. F11 opens the Styles and Formating window. The Presentation Styles icon should already be selected, if it is not, select it now. Fourteen styles are listed, and all can be modified, but no new styles can be added. To change any of these styles, right-click the style name and choose Modify from the pop-up menu.
Tip: When you select View > Master > Master Slide, the Master View toolbar (Figure 7) also opens. See the Impress Guide for instructions on the use of this toolbar.
Figure 7: Master View toolbar.
The following Presentation styles are available.
Background styles:
- None means all slide backgrounds will be white.
- Color allows you to select your own background color.
- Gradient has 15 prepackaged backgrounds. The increments between one color and the other is automatically set by default, but you can set it manually if you desire. New gradients can be created, using Format > Area > Gradient (tab).
- Hatching has 10 prepackaged patterns. More can be created using Format > Area > Hatching (tab). A background color can be added to the hatching.
- Bitmap has 20 prepackaged patterns. More bitmaps can be added to this list if they are one of the graphic formats OOo recognizes. (See the note below.) Use Format > Area > Bitmaps. Use the Import button to locate the bitmap and give it a name. Using F11 and selecting Bitmaps from Background styles, you should see your imported bitmap at the bottom of the list.
Notes: Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Colors allows you to create your own custom colors. Once you create a color this way, it will be listed in the selection of colors available for the background. For information on creating new gradients, hatching, and bitmaps, see the Impress Guide. To see all of the graphic formats OOo will accept as a bitmap, select Format > Area > Bitmaps. Click Import. File types contains the entire list of acceptable graphic formats.
Background objects style: Use this to set the characteristics of all objects you add to the slide master. Make any changes you need. Remember to use F5 after making a change to make sure that is what you want. Using the Esc key afterwards will return you to your work.
Note: Just like Paragraph and Character styles in Writer, Background objects styles can be overridden by applying manual formating. So it is possible to have two background objects with different formating. The use of background objects requires a knowledge of OOo's Draw component and is beyond the scope of this chapter.
Notes: If you want to have notes attached to your slides, right-click the Notes style, select Modify, and set the formating you want your notes to have. Make sure you make the font size large enough to be readable. Just remember that this formatting will be applied to the note of every slide using the same slide master. The bottom part of the Notes window contains an example of what any of your choices looks like.
Note: At the present time, you cannot view your notes while you are running a slide show. Notes can be included in a printed handout of the slide show.
Outline 1 through Outline 9: These styles set the formatting for each level of text in the text boxes of the slides. All of these have default values that are fairly good. You would probably want to leave most if not all of these values as they are. Since in a simple presentation, only one slide master is used, any changes made will affect all slides containing the affect style. For example, five slides have text with the Outline 2 style. When you change the Outline 2 font size from 20 to 18, this change will be made on all five slides to every paragraph using the Outline 2 style.
Title and Subtitle: Set these styles the same way you set the styles for Outline 1 through Outline 9. Most of these styles work very well as they are. The parts that you might want to change are the Font, Typeface, Font size, and Font color (Font Effects tab).
When you are finished making your changes, use View > Normal. Or, you could click Close Master View in the Master View toolbar.
Creating the first slide
The first slide is normally the Title Page. Decide which of the layouts (Figure 8) will suit your purposes for your first slide. It is good practice to keep it rather simple. Some suitable layouts are Title Slide (also contains a section for a subtitle), or Title Only slide. The rest of the layouts seem to be better suited for later slides in the presentation, or for more complex presentations.
Note: For very simple presentations, you may not need a title; for example, if the presentation is simply a group of pictures put together for someone to see. But in most cases, you will need to use the title as the first slide.
Figure 8: Choosing a slide layout.
Adding elements to the Title Page
All the suggested layouts contain a title section at their top. To create the title, click the phrase Click to add title. Type the title. Adjustments to the formating of the title can be done by using the F11 key, right-clicking the Title style, and selecting Modify from the pop-up menu.
If you are using the Title Slide layout slide, click the phrase Click to add text to add a subtitle. Make any adjustments in the formating you desire. Do this the same way as if you are changing the title formating: use the F11 key, right-click the Subtitle style, select Modify from the pop-up menu, and make your changes. Click OK to apply your changes to the subtitle.
The Title, Object layout slide can also be used. To do this requires knowledge of how to move and resize graphic images (objects). Insert the object as an OLE Object. To do so:
- Double-click the graphic.
- Select Create from file and click OK.
Caution: Choose Link to file only if you are going to keep the presentation and the file in the same directory in which they were originally saved. Otherwise, you may not be able to access your OLE Objects from your slide show when you need them.
- Click Search to browse to the file's location. Select the file, and click Open. Then click OK.
- Resize and center the object to fit the slide as needed.
Inserting additional slides
The steps for inserting additional slides are basically the same as for selecting the title page. It is a process that has to be repeated for each individual slide. Since you are going to be using only one slide master, your only concern right now is the Layouts section of the Tasks pane on the right.
First, you should insert all of the slides your outline indicates you will need. Only after this should you begin adding special effects such as custom animation and slide transitions. (These are covered in the next section.)
Step 1: Insert a new slide. This can be done in a variety of ways. Take your pick.
- Insert > Slide.
- Right-click on the present slide, and select New Slide from the context menu.
- Click the Slide icon in the Presentation toolbar (Figure 9).
- inline:Frame3.png
Step 2: Select the layout slide that bests fits your needs.
If your slide consists only of a title with a graphic, chart, or spreadsheet, inserting it as an OLE Object is the simplest. But be advised, doing this for a chart or spreadsheet is not simple. This is an advanced technique.
Step 3: Modify the elements of the slide. At this stage, the slide consists of everything contained in the Master page as well as the chosen layout slide. This includes removing unneeded elements, adding needed elements (pictures and OLE Objects), and inserting text.
Caution: Changes to any of the prepackaged layouts can only be made using View > Normal which is the default. Attempting to do this by modifying a slide master will result in an error message. (The slide master is modified using View > Master > Master Slide.)
- Remove any element on the slide you do not need (Figure 10).
- Click the element to highlight it. (The green squares show it is highlighted.)
- Press the Delete key to remove it.
- inline:Frame19.png
Tip: Sometimes you will accidentally select the wrong layout slide. You can at any time click the correct layout slide and continue your work.
Add any elements to the slide you do need. Adding pictures to the clipart frame:
- Double-click the picture within the frame.
- Browse to the location of the picture.
- Select the picture and click Open.
- Resize the picture as necessary. Follow the directions in the Caution note below.
Adding pictures from graphic files to places other than the clipart frame:
- Insert > Picture > From File.
- Browse to the graphic file, select it, and click Open.
- Move the picture to its location.
- Resize the picture if necessary.
Adding OLE Objects is an advanced technique covered in the Impress Guide.
Caution: When resizing a graphic, right-click the picture. Select Position and Size from the pop-up menu. Make sure Keep ratio is selected. Then adjust the height or width to the size you need. (As you adjust one dimension both dimensions will change.) Failure to do so will cause the picture to become distorted.
Adding text to a slide: If the slide contains text, click the phrase Click to add an outline in the text frame. Type the text into the text frame.
Note: Text in the slide is in an outline format: each level is indented more than the previous level as you move from level 1 to level 10.
To change Outline Levels as you type, use the left and right arrow buttons (Figure 11).
- The left arrow changes it to the previous Outline Level (level 3 to level 2 for example).
- The right arrow changes to the next Outline Level (level 2 to level 3 for example).
- inline:Frame6.png
To change the order of the paragraphs (lines), use the up and down arrow buttons.
- The up arrow moves the paragraph higher in the text.
- The down arrow moves the paragraph lower in the text.
Note: Moving text around usually requires using a combination of these keys. For example, a paragraph needs to be moved higher and its Outline level needs to be changed to a lower level (closer to 1) or a higher level (closer to 10).
Step 4: To create additional slides repeat steps 1-3.
Working with slides
This is the time to review the entire presentation and answer some questions. Run the slide show at least once before answering them. You might want to add some questions of your own.
- Are the slides in the correct order? If not, some of them will need to be moved.
- Would an additional slide make a particular point clearer? The slide needs to be created.
- Would some custom animations help some of the slides? (Advanced technique)
- Should some of the slides have a different slide transition than others? The transition of these slides should be changed.
- Do some of the slides seem unnecessary? Delete the slide or slides after checking if they are indeed unnecessary.
Caution: If one or more slides seems to be unnecessary, hide the slide or slides, and view the slide show a few more times to make sure. To hide a slide, right-click the slide in the Slides pane. Select Hide Slide in the pop-up menu. Do not delete a slide until you have done this, otherwise you may have to create that slide again.
Once you have answered these and your own questions, you should made the necessary changes. This is done the easiest in the Slide Sorter view and will be explained there. If you need one or more new slides, create them using the steps listed in "Inserting additional slides" on page 10.
Custom animations
If you know how to add a custom animation to a slide, do it now. This is an advanced technique and is explained in the Impress Guide.
Slide transitions
Your first slide show should probably have the same slide transition for all slides. Setting Advance slide to On mouse click is the default and a simple setting. If you want each slide to be shown for a specific amount of time, click Automatic after and enter the number of seconds. Click Apply to all slides.
Tip: The Slide transition section has a very useful choice: Automatic preview. Select its checkbox. Then when you make any changes in a slide transition, the new slide, including its transition effect, is previewed in the workspace area.
Changes that can be made to slide transitions:
Apply to selected slides has a list of slide transitions.
- Make sure Automatic preview is checked.
- Click one of the members of the Apply to selected slides list.
- Watch the effects of this slide transition.
- Select the slide transition you want.
Modify transition has two drop-down lists.
- Select the Speed: slow, medium, and fast.
- Select a Sound from the list if you want one.
Once you have made your selections, if any, click Apply to all slides to give all slides the same transition.
Play and Slide Show are used to play one or more slides in the presentation.
- Clicking Play has the same effect as having Automatic Preview checked (ticked): a single slide is shown along with its slide transition.
- Slide Show begins the slide show at the selected slide and continues until the end.
Tip: If you want to use this button to play the entire slide show, click the top slide in the Slides pane. Then click Slide Show in the Slides transitions section of the Task pane.
You already know about the first view of Workspace: Normal. All of your work so far has been done in that view, one slide at at time. These other views of Workspace allow you to perform other tasks.
There are two ways to place a slide in the Slide Design area of the Normal view: clicking the slide thumbnail in the Slides pane, or using the Navigator. To open the Navigator, click the Navigator button in the Standard Toolbar (Figure 12). To select a slide, scroll down the Navigator list until you find it and the double-click it.
- inline:Frame9.png
Note: One of the purposes of naming the slides is to match them with the outline you created in the beginning. Another purpose is to help find a particular slide that you want to change using the Navigator.
The Outline view (Figure 13) contains all of the slides of the presentation in their numbered sequence. Only the text in each slide is shown. Slide names are not included.
- inline:Frame16.png
The Outline view serves at least two purposes.
- Making changes in the text of a slide:
- You can add and delete the text in a slide just as you would in the Normal view.
- You can move the paragraphs of text in the selected slide up or down by using the up and down arrows (Figure 11).
- You can change the Outline Level for any of the paragraphs in a slide using the left and right arrows.
- The slides can be compared with your outline. If you notice from your outline that another slide is needed, you can return to the Normal view to create the slide. Then return to reviewing all the slides against your outline in the Outline view.
- If a slide is not in the correct sequence, you can move it to its proper place.
- Click the slide icon of the slide you are moving.
- Drag and drop it where you want it.
The Notes view is used to add notes to a slide. At the present time, they are not visible to the person running the slide show. They can be printed out as part of a handout, but this is not an easy task.
To add notes to a slide:
- Click the Note tab in the Workspace (Figure 14).
- Select the slide to which you will add notes.
- Double-click the slide in the Slide pane, or
- Double-click the slide's name in the Navigator.
- Type the notes in the text box below the slide.
- inline:Frame12.png
Slide Sorter
Slide Sorter view contains all of the slide thumbnails (Figure 15). This view allows the selection of multiple slides for the purpose of changing the order. It is also possible to work on one slide at a time.
- inline:Frame18.png
Change the number of slide per row if desired.
- Check View > Toolbars > Slide View to make the Slide view toolbar (Figure 16) visible.
- Adjust the number of slides.
- When you have adjusted the number of slide per row, View > Toolbars > Slide View will remove this toolbar from view.
- inline:Frame14.png
To move a slide in a presentation in the Slide Sorter:
- Click the slide. A thick black border is drawn around the selected slide.
- Drag and drop it to the location you want.
- As you move the slide, a black vertical line appears to one of the sides of the slide.
- Drag the slide until this black vertical line is located where you want the slide.
To select a group of slides:
- Click the number of the first slide.
- Hold down the left mouse button.
- Drag the cursor to the last slide thumbnail. A dashed outline of a rectangle forms as you drag the cursor through the slide thumbnails. Make sure the rectangle includes all the slides you want to select.
To move a group of slides:
- Select the group.
- Drag and drop the group to their new location. The same vertical black line appears to show you where the group of slides will go.
Note: Selection of a group of slides works in a rectangular fashion. For example: slides 1, 2 ,3, 5, 6, and 7 can be selected, but slides 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 can not.
You can work with slides in the Slide Sorter view just as you can in the Slide pane. To make changes, right-click a slide and do the following using the pop-up menu:
- Add a new slide after the selected slide.
- Delete the selected slide.
- Change the Slide Layout.
- Change the Slide Transition.
- For one slide, click the slide to select it. Then add the desired transition.
- For more than one slide, select the group of slides and add the desired transition.
- Hide the selected slide. It will not be shown in the slide show.
- Copy and paste a slide.
- Cut and paste a slide.
This view is for setting up the layout of your slide for a printed handout. Layout contains five choices: one, two, three, four, and six slides per page (Figure 17). If you want to include slide notes with your handout, consult the Impress Guide. This involves advanced techniques.
- inline:Frame13.png
To print a handout:
- Select the slides using the Slide Sorter. (Use the steps listed in selecting a group of slides on page 16.)
- Select File > Print or press Control+P.
- Select Options in the bottom left corner.
- Check Handout and click OK.
- Select Print Range.
- Click OK in the Print window.
Note: By selecting a single slide, it is possible to print it and any notes it contains. Printing the entire presentation and all of its notes is beyond the scope of this document.
Running the presentation
To run the slide show, do one of the following:
- Click Slide Show > Slide Show.
- Click the Slide Show button (Figure 18).
- inline:Frame4.png
- Press F5 or F9 to start a slide show.
If the slide transition is Automatic after x seconds, let the slide show run by itself.
If the slide transition is On mouse click, do one of the following to move from one slide to the next.
- Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to go to the next slide or to go back to the previous one.
- You can also click the mouse to move to the next slide.
- Press the spacebar on the keyboard to advance to the next slide.
To exit the slide show at any time including at the end, press the Esc key.

We saw this yesterday at the suck-tacular C3 Expo here in New York and were pretty impressed. I'm sure the IT geeks out there already know all about this thing, but the EM 1 is an environmental sensor with its own Ethernet interface. You plug it into your network and it sense humidity and temperature as well as water levels and magnet relays. You can monitor four locations with each $600 box.
The big news is that they're coming out with a rack-mounted version with temperature and humidity sensors and that fights right inside your server rack.

Seattle: Chef Robin Leventhal's Guide to the Ballard Neighborhood
In the time since wrapping up her appearance on Top Chef, contestant Robin Leventhal hasn't, to the chagrin of many Seattleites, re-opened her dearly departed restaurant, Crave. What she has done is enjoy the extraordinary culinary offerings of her little corner of the city. Ballard is a former Scandinavian fishing town turned urban hipster hangout, and Robin rounded up all the places that make this part of town a great place to grab a bite.
Coffee: Fiore. It's fabulous: espresso, lattes, beans to go, a sunny back deck (when the sun is gracing us), easy to find a seat without writers camping all day, and, added bonus, they even have parking!
Fiore: 5405 Leary Ave NW, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Mexican: Señor Moose. My go to for Mexican, especially for breakfast. Sure, La Carta de Oaxaca rocks, and they do make their own tortillas, but I am a sucker for Señor Moose. We should just feel blessed in Ballard that we have not one, but two outstanding Mexican restaurants.
Señor Moose: 5242 Leary Ave NW, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
La Carta de Oaxaca: 5431 Ballard Avenue Northwest Seattle, WA 98107 (map)
Food Truck: El Camion. All their tacos have satisfied me when I'm in that "I must have a taco now" mood, especially the mahi mahi fish tacos. But my real weakness is for their tamales. The best tamales I've EVER eaten hands down, and know that I've had my share over the years!
El Camion: 5314 15th Ave NW, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Bar: SamBar. Thankfully I am not an alcoholic or I would be 86ed by now. Instead I save it for that intimate or special itch moment that no other place can scratch. Sensational craft cocktails and delicious bites from Le Gourmand's kitchen keep this hidden gem hopping. A simple steak frites is elevated to the divine when you're at SamBar (and it's not even on the menu!)
SamBar: 425 Northwest Market Street, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
French: Bastille. Oh how I love it so! Delicious, without pretension. Love goes into this food from the ingredients selected, the hands that prepare it, to the exceptional palate of the chef seasoning it. An outstanding experience in the front or at the back bar, depending on your mood. And cocktails that will make all others pale in comparison. This place is my #1 go to in Ballard! Plus they take reservations for Sunday brunch.
Bastille: 5307 Ballard Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Pizza: Veraci. OK, it's neck and neck for pizza with Delancey, but they make my favorite Caesar in town. I'm a neighbor so I am admittedly biased here, but it's good. Really good! At Delancey, there is a magic that whispers from that oven through the crust and into your mouth. Much different pizza than Veraci, both kissed by flame, both topped with exceptional local ingredients and both worth the carb splurge.
Veraci: 500 NW Market Street, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Asian: Thai Thani is a newcomer and it has grown on me. I was bitter about losing Thaiku [recently closed nearby Thai restaurant], so perhaps I was too hard on them the first time. That all changed the second time and it happened over the coconut salmon dish. They have atypical menu items that I find refreshing in a city filled with monotony. Don't miss out on some amazing brown rice, a last minute change when ordering last time and happier for it!
Thai Thani: 2021 Northwest Market Street, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Sushi: Sam's. It's been there for so long and I have a sense of loyalty to them, but it's usually for lunch now. Moshi Moshi has my heart when it comes to dinner. Great cocktail program, even without [the recently moved on] Mr. Carlson. I am a big fan of the salmon belly that is flashed with flame just enough to caramelize the surface and create a melting sensation on your tongue. A clever use of a cut that normally would be trimmed off in a conventional restaurant. Sushi San is too clever for that here! Why not wash that down with some fresh uni: that defines bliss in Ballard.
Sam's: 5506 22nd Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Moshi Moshi: 5324 Ballard Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Breakfast: Breakfast comes in all shapes and sizes in Ballard: Salmon Bay Café is the ultimate diner with Vera's pulling its weight in that department too. Both deliver volume at a great price point, but Vera's serves Café Umbria so it lures me with the better coffee. Salmon Bay's advantage is the free parking, especially valuable in the increasingly hip Ballard.
Salmon Bay Café: 5109 Shilshole Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Vera's: 5417 22nd Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Sweet Brunch: Hi-Life. It's like the golden retriever of brunches. It's loyal, sweet and always there for you. If I want French toast this is where I head. Candied hazelnuts and mascarpone cream turn a weekend into a holiday!
Hi-Life: 5425 Russell Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Savory Brunch: Hattie's Hat. The hipster hangout. Add hangovers to that mix and then you have all that defines this institution. Hopping, usually a line, strong drinks for the day-after cure and a hash that will fill your ailing belly! Think bloody Marys, biscuits & gravy and chicken fried chicken.
Hattie's Hat: 5231 Ballard Avenue Northwest, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Pastries: Now for some off the beaten path recommendations: while we are honoring the brunch hour, let's praise Honore for their delectable pastries and coffee. Worth the wait if there is a line, as you will be rewarded with a buttery delicious treat. Be sure to try the canelés, a fragrant orange custard enveloped by a waxy crunchy caramelized exterior or the kouign amann, flaky, salty and sweet with a moist custard center, both are outstanding! Across the street is a sweet sunlit room called the Fat Hen. Although the name is misleading, the space is cute. Sparse portions compared to all the other breakfast joints I've mentioned and no hard alcohol to cure a hangover, but they do make their own English muffins and use farm to table ingredients.
Honore: 1413 Northwest 70th Street, Seattle WA 98107 (map)
Fat Hen: 1418 NW 70th St, Seattle WA 98107 (map)

Discussion in 'GS Boxers' started by NJ Moto, Jun 8, 2007.
I would like to see pics of your HP2. Thanks
Monument Valley

Looks beautiful. Nice add-ons, I especially like the beer keg.
Sadly, this isn't mine. It's Barkin Pumpkin from UKGSer. He was at a trackday at Cadwell Park last week when I was there taking pics. Sorry about the quality, they're just quick 'n' dirty jpeg conversions from the RAW files....
Nice screen. How do you guys like your HP2s? I'm being swayed towards the dark side. I'm sure it's much more dirt worthy than the GS, how about on road? How about the single front brake rotor? Thanks
Great pics! Thanks for sharing
Wouldn't this be technically the Light (#'s) side not the dark side
Single front rotor enough for stoppies if you are so inclined
I have just done a 6 day 2500 mile trip with out any problems and in November did 1700 mile trip that included the baja over 11 days
so I think it is pretty road worthy
Thanks so much. I have to agree with you about the "light side". I'm starting to like its simplicity.
It's very nice, I like it but Smugmug doesn't seem to like you too much......
Yep. Helps if you read the instructions before trying to post a picture for the first time!
Here's my HP2. I just finished getting it back together after killing a deer over the winter.
looks great in basic black I think an improvement over factory color
Just looking at the MSRP, why does the HP2 cost more than the standard GS and even the Adventure?
I like the badge.
They don't make enough of them.
Well One thing is for sure, at least so far..
Sounds like the Famous Marketing Forcasting geniuses at BMW Miss the Mark big time.
Since half the bikes on the photos are set up as "Touring" machines and the other half as "Hyper Motards"
Anybody is Really ussing (not Possing) one of the Monsters for what is design for..
Pure Breath Dirt racing machine...!?!?
Ps: I have seeing some Impresive pictures from some members, but I can not remenber who they are.
Good for you, Pir8te...an hp2 shot good and proper.
Dang that looks sharp in black!

"The mind (manas) and the breath (prana) are intimately connected and the activity or the cessation of activity of one affects the other. Hence Patanjali recommended pranayama (rhythmic breath control) for achieving mental equipoise and inner peace."
-B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Yoga, 49th paragraph of the Introduction.
From the moment I took my first breath, I began to process life on earth. The womb was a protective before-time for me. Sure I must have heard some sounds from the world, but I didn't have any awareness of my needs because I was totally taken care of by my mother's body. However I think I may have already started to process worldly emotions by proxy. But after I was born, things started to change. A breast became important, for it fed me. And my breath supported me simultaneously, and continuously as well as always responding to my needs. My eating habits changed and many other things happened as I grew. My breath has been my constant companion through all aspects of my life, so it knows me better than any being ever could. My breath is jostled by my fear, fueled by my anger, and enhanced by my satisfaction and wellbeing.
My breath has a force of its own. It sustains me whether I pay attention to it or not. This breath sometimes speaks of my sadness, it expresses the emotion in my body. Breath can speak as an amplifier for the emotional and physiological state of the body, and if I listen it can speak to me about my life without my voice saying a word.
The breath can be seen as a two-way communication system reminiscent of the childrens old fashioned telephone game played with two cups or cans connected by a string. Two children hold the cups and pull the string taut. Then one speaks into the cup at one end, and the other child puts the other cup over their ear and listens for what is said. And of course the children can also switch positions where the one who was speaking becomes the listener, and the one who was listening speaks. The breath is similar to the string-and-cups between the kids if one child represents your body and the other is your mind.
So in addition to listening to the breath to discover psychic baggage in your body, you can also consciously affect your breath to calm your nervous system. It's a two-way street. When we train the mind to focus on and control the breath it becomes possible to affect your physical and mental systems profoundly. Peaceful vibes.

Seminar Promises to Help Undo Some Gays in 3 Short Days
The International Healing Foundation, a Maryland-based gay conversion therapy organization tied to "ex-gay" advocacy group Voice of the Voiceless and Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) announced a three-day counselor training program set to take place at an undisclosed hotel near the Baltimore-Washington International Airport in May.
Have you ever wanted to help others overcome same-sex attraction, but just didn't have the time or money? Well, the "ex-gay" counseling group International Healing Foundation is now promising they can certify you to help others through the complicated issues they believe is behind LGBTQ identification in the same time it took Jesus to make it from the cross to the tomb to invisible. Interested parties who register early will receive $24 off the $299 registration fee. Got a few friends who want to tag along? The three of you can learn to help undo the gay for the low, low price of $799.
According to the IHF website comingoutloved.com:
This groundbreaking Counselor Training Program is the first of its kind in the world, detailing a comprehensive approach for:
1. helping men and women who question their sexuality and/or experience unwanted same-sex attraction
2. assisting family and friends with LGBTQU loved ones.??
All participants who attend will receive a Certificate of Attendance for Sexual Orientation Training and Education. The certificate will be mailed to those who complete all the requirements within one year of the final day of this training.
Facilitating the speed course in ex-gayification will be International Healing Foundation's own Christopher Doyle, M.A. who is president of the "ex-gay" advocacy group Voice of the Voiceless. Doyle had a busy 2013: last summer he produced the first annual "ex-gay" pride rally that drew ten participants to our nation's capital. In the fall he quintupled that attendance at an "ex-gay" awareness dinner.
Working with Doyle will be his International Healing Foundation cohort Richard Cohen, MA. According to Wikipedia, in 2002 Cohen was permanently expelled from the American Counseling Association (ACA), after it accused him of six violations of its ethics code.
According to Truth Wins Out, some of Cohen's more unorthodox "therapeutic practices" have involved beating pillows with tennis rackets in order to heal anger toward one's mother, followed by sessions where he cuddles his male patients in order to recreate a father's love.
The seminar takes place from May 1 through 3. Bring your own tennis racket and pillow.
Interested participants can sign up here.

NEW YORK, July 31 (UPI) -- Irish actor Brendan Gleeson says briefly working with his son Domhnall on writer-director John Michael McDonagh's film Calvary was difficult due to the nature of their characters' relationship, but he also emphasizes he wouldn't trade the experience for the world.
The Gleesons previously appeared together as Bill Weasley and Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter blockbusters.
Calvary is about what happens when a man enters Father James' Catholic Church confessional and tells him he is going to kill him a week hence. The man confides he was molested as a child by a now-dead priest and says he wants to make headlines by slaying an innocent cleric in the pedophile's stead.
Father James spends the week reconnecting with his adult daughter, who is recovering from a suicide attempt, and talking to his parishioners, many of whom are lonely, angry and bitter, until the day arrives when he must meet his fate and possibly sacrifice his life. Brendan Gleeson plays the good priest, while Domhnall portrays an unrepentant murderer he visits in prison.
Asked by UPI in a recent phone interview what it was like to share a scene with his son under these circumstances, the elder Gleeson described it as "very odd."
"We basically didn't speak for about a week beforehand and got through it and gave as good as we got to each other on opposite sides of the table," he recalled.
"It was great when it was over, but it also was something I was kind of looking forward to and to have it in a film of this nature I was, obviously, very, very proud of him. But, also, just it was a real treat to engage with an actor of that quality. Outside of the relationship and all, I think he did an amazing job on it."
McDonagh also remembered capturing those gripping moments on a "tough day" of shooting.
"That was a very dark scene. It was very intense. We shot it in just one day. It was like a prize fight, I suppose, between two sort of evenly matched opponents in the level of darkness that was going on. I think that was the one day my brother turned up on set," the director told UPI in a separate interview, referring to playwright and filmmaker Martin McDonagh, who directed the elder Gleeson in the movie In Bruges. Domhnall also starred in the Broadway production of Martin's play The Lieutenant of Inishmore, and both Gleesons appeared in his short film Six Shooter.
"[Martin] hadn't read the script [for Calvary] and he turned to me after a few minutes in and he said, 'I thought this was supposed to be a comedy.' He didn't know what was happening at that point," John Michael McDonagh related.
"The initial intent with the film, it was meant to be much more of a black comedy type film, but when you get all of these really great actors involved, they find depth to the characters and it becomes a much deeper and much more dramatic movie and much more somber, I suppose. But that's good."
Co-starring Chris O'Dowd, Aidan Gillen, Kelly Reilly, David Wilmot, Pat Shortt and David McSavage, Calvary is earning rave reviews from critics. It opens is U.S. theaters Friday.

SENSE-ible Dog Harness
(Yay my first product review)
Product: http://www.softouchconcepts.com/prod...e_harness.html
To make a long story short, When we first got Maggie she had a HUGE pulling problem. She would also lunge at other dogs, even if they were on the other side of the road. I was actually scared that she would someday manage to pull us in front of a car. I watched a lot of the petfinder training videos to get her to stop pulling, but with a 100lb dog "Be a Tree" is more like "Be a Twig" .I tried a Gentle leader head halti thinger ,It stopped the pulling but Maggie hated it and took about 15-20 mins to get her to let me put it on her. We were getting to a point that I don't think she was even enjoying the walks anymore :sad:
FINALLY I tried SENSE-ible Dog Harness, Clerk at my local pet store swore by it. She is also a dog walker so I decided to give it a shot. It was a little expensive, about $40 after tax. The change was instant though, Maggie could still sniff easily and look around but she stopped pulling me. She actually gets excited every time I take it out because she knew it meant going for a walk. As for lunging at other dogs it did not cure it but it subsided enough that I could actually ask people if she could go and greet there dog (98% of the time it's a yes ) when before she just looked way too frightening to consider it.
Soon, Maggie will not even need it anymore Check the website on full details of how it works (site explains it best I think). I guess it depends on the owner and the dog, but I give this product
Note : I don't have any good pictures of Mags wearing her harness because she is kinda wiggly when I take pictures, but if I find one I will edit my post to include it .

I had one of these for Riley initially until he got to be about a year old. Then he just got to strong for it and we moved into something different. I thought it was an excellent product .
"Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
I recently got the Gentle Leader Easywalk Harness for Chase - the design looks absolutely identical to the SENSE-ible to me. So far I am also having incredible results! He's pulling a little, but my hand no longer feels sore after walks....not even tired actually! And he seems much more at ease and comfortable than when I was using a Halti.
So although mine is a different brand, I give for front-clasping harnesses of this general design!

Yea I Googled the GL one and they are fairly identical. I'm glad there is another option, because I did find the SENSE-ible one expensive. Good sturdy Harnesses imo

The study of Geography encourages the investigation of the "where" and "why" of human and natural phenomena, and the interrelationships between people and their environment. Students have the option to take a variety of classes covering the major subfields in geography: "Physical Geography", "Human Geography" and "Geographic techniques". Physical geography includes "Geomorphology", "Biogeography", "Meteorology", and "Climatology". Human geography includes "Economic Geography", "Political Geography", and "Regional Geography", the study of specific countries or cultural regions. Geographic techniques develop specific skills in cartography (map-making), satellite imagery analysis, global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS).
Our students have used their skills to find employment in a variety of fields. Recent graduates are employed by city, county and state governments, the National Park Service, the Department of Defense, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A minor in geography emphasizes the processes that affect the Earth and the interaction between humans and the environment. This may include examination of the areas of meteorology, climatology, biogeography, soils, geomorphology, cultural geography, mapping and other geographic techniques.Geography Major Checklist

Be Good
I was hoping to write this post over a week ago to honor my dad who died exactly 5 years ago. At times it feels like it's been forever yet I remember those days vividly. I've been missing him lately and it's mostly because of our girls. He cherished being a Papa and there are days I wish I could see the girls with him and see how much they would love each other. While these thoughts have been on my mind the last few weeks, todays talks in church just happened to be about finding joy in family. I appreciated the comments made about family and how it's spelled T-I-M-E because in the end that's what we remember and most important- the time spent together. When it comes down to it, I'm just sad they don't have a grandfather figure in their life. They'll never hear him answer the phone "Don speaking" or ending any conversation with the sweet reminder "Be good!". Although I think I might start answering the phone with "Megan speaking". However, here's where I'm most thankful for journal writing because they'll be able to get to know him through his journals, letters and photographs.
The latest happenings:
*After Maddie's big girl bed accident and cutting her upper lip, she's been talking so much. It's seriously so yummy because she sounds like she's speaking Japanese. Sometimes she's talking so seriously and she knows I have no clue what she's saying- she'll throw both hands up in the air like "uh, I give up!".
*Whenever Olive is sleeping Maddie says "shhhh".
*Olive has been colic at night and was spitting up in a way that was not normal after each feeding. I've given up dairy and chocolate and that seems to have helped tremendously with the spit up. With the little research I've done about colic, "they" say there really isn't much you can do. Well I don't buy it. I took her to my chiropractor all this week and she's changed dramatically. Along with sticking to a feeding routine.
* Olive is getting more and more animated and is full of smiles. Particularly after a feeding. She also took her first bottle yesterday which eases so many stresses I've had about working on weekends or going on a date with the husband. I'm feeling like I can go out and be a part of society.
* Cony got a permanent job with his company! Huge blessing is so many ways. Just when we were questioning our future, we were both reminded that we had a sweet assurance in the beginning this company would be where he was meant to be. Monday morning he walked into work and was given an offer!
*I've finally been nesting and loving the challenge to decorate/organize with only the things we have on hand. With the exception of fabric for M3's room.
*Maddie wore a dress to church today my sister Emily wore at her age and Olive wore a dress of mine. Love finding these little treasures my mom has kept!

Thankful Thinking
It's interesting when I think about this blog of ours and why I felt the need to start one. I had no particular reason why, just felt a need to do it. The way this blog has blessed our lives is immeasurable. So when people tell me my life looks glamorous, I feel a sharp pain in my side because that's the last image I would want people to have of us. I write and document things on here for me and Cony. Things that we want and need to remember. I can't even count how many times I've gone back through certain post and completely forgot we either did something or I felt a certain way. Just when I was thinking about these reasons and the comment was made to me about our glamorous life, I was listening to an Ensign talk about the importance of 1.) keeping a book of remembrance and 2.) having a thankful heart in all things. I've pondered this talk the last few days and I've found myself looking for more ways to be thankful. Even at the moment I completely loose my patience because my toddler hasn't napped and becomes mischievously naughty. Then 5 minutes later goes 'pee pee in the potty' for the first time. Right now I'm particularly thankful for my body. I didn't get stretch marks until after OCM was born and I thought it would bother me, but it's had the opposite effect on me. I see them (although fading now) and it reminds me of both our miracles and that I was able to experience bringing a human life into the world and someone else was able to do that for us. No matter the situation, there is always some thing I can find to be thankful for. Especially my family and I have a way to document our life together.

A large number of websites that were either hosted or using GoDaddy name servers went down for more than four hours today following an outage in their DNS server. GoDaddy has been working to fix the issue and now it looks like almost all sites are back online.
There are speculations on what caused the glitch with some blaming it on the online vigilante group, Anonymous. A Brazilian twitter user loosely affiliated with Anonymous even tweeted the following, taking responsibility of the outage.
I'm taking godaddy down bacause well i'd like to test how the cyber security is safe and for more reasons that i can not talk now.
GoDaddy has been in the receiving end of similar attacks by Anonymous after their support to the infamous anti-piracy bill SOPA. But we are not yet able to verify whether this outage was a result of any kind of attack and there's a good chance that this might just be a glitch in their DNS configuration. GoDaddy, while not mentioning whether the outage was a result of a DDoS attack, has tweeted that there was no compromise of user data.
WIRED is also reporting that GoDaddy has migrated some of the DNS records to VeriSign following the outage. It is not yet clear whether they are migrating the whole DNS configurations from the affected server or just the one for GoDaddy's website which was also affected by the outage.

As social media becomes an increasingly pivotal part of everyday communication, overloaded email inboxes are starting to get a reputation as the old, rundown toy on the throwaway pile along with VHS tapes and beepers. Despite appearances to the contrary, email inboxes are not dying, they are growing. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), 11.4 trillion person-to-person email messages were sent in 2009, and 12.9 trillion are expected to be sent in 2014.
Ed Brill, Director of Social Messaging and Collaboration for IBM, believes that email will continue to be popular because of its resilience to competing innovations. "What we've seen is a tool that has proven to be very adaptable to changing business and technological requirements," says Brill. "People started by using email as a replacement for paper memos and then it started to become a means of office communication. It's really adapted to many things over time."
Users in both business and personal environments have started to adopt other tools, such as Twitter or instant messaging. While email is still widely used, it is no longer the only form of communication reaching everyone. Where email remains a strong competitor in the social sphere, however, is in its security. The password-protected privacy of an inbox is more intimate than the publicity of social networking pages that can be found in a Google search.
"I think that [security] definitely highlights how email is still an important tool. There's certain communication that I need to make sure only goes to the right person and is encrypted for their use," says Brill. Many organizations, according to him, are willing to layer security requirements so that more work and sharing can be done on intranets between various business teams, but in the meantime, email is still a mainstay.
Erin Traudt, Research Director of Enterprise Collaboration and Social Solutions for IDC, believes that email is still the natural and perhaps less controversial way most businesses communicate. "As consumer social media has gained increasing traction in businesses, it has made enterprises take a deeper look at security practices and corporate social media policies," says Traudt.
Generational shifts have caused concern about email use due the widespread social media adoption of young users. According to Brill, people coming out of college have been expected to use email less but this hasn't proven to be true. Young hires have actually encouraged communications practices to evolve in business environments because of established familiarity and interest in new social tools. Traudt expects technologies to continue to blend due to younger workers. She believes, however, that email will still remain an important component of social interaction within a work environment.
"If you aren't logged into Facebook you can still get notified on who commented on your wall post or sent you a direct message through email," says Traudt. "Many companies are implementing social business strategies and adopting social technologies in order to attract the right talent, but email and enterprise social software will coexist for a long time within businesses."
As new communication services evolve, email is expected to regress, but in a positive sense. Inboxes have become flooded with SPAM, solicitation, and chain emails. As users rely on social media for more instant communication, email use will return to its roots of dealing with important tasks that need individual attention.
"From a market perspective, I still see email continuing to grow although the shear volume of emails sent may begin to decline," said Traudt. "If anything, email messages sent will be more valuable and targeted messages instead of trying to be a mass collaboration vehicle."
When it comes to social tools including email it seems that each will evolve in a way that complements and adds value to its specific use. According to Traudt, individual user needs and preferences will dictate what platforms people use to communicate with one another. "For some, it will be Twitter. Some will prefer texts. Some will prefer email," says Traudt. "It depends on the context of the relationship, nature of the message, and information being shared."

'Naturopathic Medicine unites state of the art procedures with ancient healing methods creating a branch of medicine that truly balances science, tradition and respect for nature'
Wellness is the goal
Healthiness is more than just the absence of disease. Optimum health entails daily functioning on the highest possible levels, and is characterized by positive emotions, thoughts and actions. The capacity for wellness is inherent in everyone.
The body heals itself
Nature acts in a powerful and profound manner through mental, spiritual and physical mechanisms to restore balance when sickness arrives. In a healthy person, balance is usually quickly restored. When the healing capacities of the body are compromised, help is needed. Naturopathic physicians use therapies to support the healing process, stimulate the body's vital force and prevent further disease from occurring.
Each body is different
Each person is unique and requires individualized care. In developing a treatment plan to address the cause of any condition, we take into account more than a person's specific physical symptoms. Disease affects the entire person, not just a specific organ or system. Thoughts, feelings, lifestyle, family history, environmental stresses, nutritional status and general physical state are all carefully evaluated.

Often when researching, I am taken completely by surprise when a simple "nothing extraordinary" photograph or piece of ephemera, turns out to be anything but simple. When research starts it often takes on a life of its own and literally explodes.
So it was with a group of visiting cards I purchased. The group was of fifty plain, name only, no decoration, visiting cards, early 1900s. I purchased them because the lot description said there were two cards with black borders. I hoped these were mourning cards, but the seller didn't know and was just getting rid of some paper ephemera he had purchased at an estate sale. I purchased them, hoping they'd be what I was looking for.
