Swedish Band Sawmill Best in Its Class
In its standard configuration, the Logosol B751 has a sawing length of 4.8 metres. This sawmill can manage logs of large diameters, up to 75 cm in diameter. With the fixed steps for depth of cut, you can easily set the sawmill to the desired board dimensions, quickly and accurately every time. You get a rigid and extremely functional band sawmill that is best in its class when it comes to sawing.
After several years of selling band sawmills from Norwood and other manufacturers, Logosol now takes the next step and launches an in-house developed band sawmill with the focus on user-friendliness and capacity. Logosol's own band sawmill is Swedish-made and robust, with several well thought-out features that facilitate working with the machine. Its design is revolutionary and offers the best system for manual sawhead setting that you can find on the market.
Sawing in Fixed Steps
This sawmill model combines well-tried functions with innovative solutions. The sawhead is adjusted in fixed steps, which gives you a quick and exact setting of depth of cut. The simplified setting of depth of cut is a clear legacy from the adjusting crank of the Logosol M8 sawmill. One rotation of the crank is always 1 inch, and one additional step compensates for the kerf.
On the absolute scale on the sawhead there is also a Last Cut indicator, which helps you remember where the sawhead was positioned at the previous cut and works as a reference for the next. By this, it becomes easier for the sawyer to produce timber of exactly the right dimensions. You work quickly and comfortably, plus you get a perfect sawing result.
Robust Design
The Logosol B751 is a reliable and extremely robust band sawmill as well as it is easy to use. A smart log clamp and two log supports secure the log with great force, without damaging the timber. They work just as well when you are taking the first cuts as when cutting the last thin board.
The well thought-out design gives a vibration-free and accurate operation. The rails and the log bed are generously strengthened by a steel frame especially adapted for sawing directly on the ground. The band wheels have fan blades, which blow out sawdust and keep it clean and tidy, both inside the sawhead as well as at the worksite.
Several Motor Options
We offer several motors options: both smaller, more affordable alternatives, and others with an abundance of power. As options there are one petrol-driven 13 hp engine, and two electric motors (4.6 or 8 kW). The electric motors are highly efficient and give close to double the rated power during operation. In horsepower this is equivalent to 9.5 and 20 hp respectively. Equipped with the 8 kW electric motor, the B751 can compete with significantly larger and more expensive sawmills.
The log moulder LM410 also fits on the rails, driven by either petrol or electricity. The cuter is 410 mm wide, which means that you can mill large 16'' beams. Extensions, sawdust management systems and many other accessories make it possible to upgrade the B751 to suit your sawmilling needs.
Ready to Start
The Logosol B751 is an excellent band sawmill if you prefer to cut timber with a band blade rather than a chain. The sawmill comes preassembled and with a detailed user manual. You only have to assemble the rails/log bed before the sawmill is ready to start. You quickly get started with your production and can start sawing shortly after you have received the sawmill. In addition, included in the purchase, you also get band blade, levelling feet, one log clamp, two log supports, water cooling, adjustable blade guide and a two-year warranty.
✔ Easy-to-set-up sawmill with preassembled sawhead. Levelling feet are included.
✔ Robust and solid. A stable design that gives you an amazing sawing result.
✔ Quick and accurate setting of the saw cut. The sawhead is adjusted in fixed steps. One rotation of the crank always equals 1 inch. One step compensates for the kerf.
✔ The Last Cut indicator on the absolute scale helps you remember the previous cut, and works as a reference for the next cut.
✔ A patent-pending log clamp with sturdy handle and robust design is included. It secures the log with great force without damaging the timber. It works just as well when you are taking the first cuts as when cutting the last thin board.
✔ Easy to keep the worksite clean. The band wheels have fan blades, which both blow out the sawdust and keep it clean and tidy inside the sawhead. A great advantage when changing band blades and carrying out maintenance and service.
✔ Exact blade guiding, which you only find on considerably larger and more expensive sawmills.
✔ The petrol-driven model has a first-class centrifugal clutch that facilitate the engine thrust during operation.

By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) - The son of a former Boston Red Sox player and broadcaster was sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty on Tuesday to murdering his girlfriend in their apartment outside Boston last August.
Jared Remy, 35, changed his plea to guilty from not guilty at a hearing in Middlesex Superior Court on charges that he stabbed Jennifer Martel, 27, to death after a fight at the Waltham, Massachusetts, apartment where they lived with their 5-year-old daughter.
"That's right," Remy told judge Judge Kathe Tuttman when she asked if he intended to plead guilty to first-degree murder. Remy, son of former baseball player Jerry Remy, said he was suffering from depression.
The younger Remy had been arrested at his apartment a day before Martel's death when police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance. He was released that evening.
A lawyer for Martel's parents, Ryan and Patty, read a statement to the judge on their behalf before their sentencing.
"Our granddaughter will grow up without a mother," the lawyer, Alec Zadec, read. "Our family's world will never be the same ... When she died, part of us died too."
Remy, bald-headed and goateed but not as muscular as at the time of his arrest, also read a brief statement.
"Blame me for this and not my family. They thought of Jen as their fourth kid," Remy said. "They both loved each other and I'm the bad apple. And if you asked my family, they would like to have me dead and not her."

Editor's note: This column was originally published on Sept. 1, 2001. Aaliyah died Aug. 25, 2001.
The Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards air here Sunday, and it will be a bittersweet affair.
It was a week ago today that Aaliyah, the superstar songstress/actress/model died in a tragic plane crash in the Bahamas.
Since then, from Kansas City radio to national television, there's been an outpouring of grief.
"She was so sweet, always, " a teary-eyed Beyonce Knowles, 20, of Destiny's Child told MTV backstage at the Lady of Soul taping. "She was one of the most beautiful people on the inside and out. It's tragic."
I couldn't agree more.
At every turning point in my life, there was an Aaliyah CD to relate to — to cry to, to laugh to, to dance to.
It was summer 1994 when I first saw the video for "Back and Forth." We were both 15, and sophomore year had just begun. So I grabbed my baggy jeans (oh, I wished they were Tommy Hilfiger), my crop top and shades, and became an Aaliyah groupie.
Her first album, "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number," dropped and soon became my anthem. I kissed my first boyfriend while Aaliyah's voice, like a breath of seduction, sang "At Your Best."
When the time came to pack up for college, "One in a Million" went to the dorm with me. I felt like I was entering a new phase, learning to express myself and be a little sassy, too. Her music was my ongoing soundtrack. I played "If Your Girl Only Knew" and "Hot Like Fire" and just danced my cares away.
Hits like "Are You That Somebody" became the motivation behind my aerobics routine. Junior year my sorority sisters and I set our Greek alphabet to her song "I Don't Wanna Be" (I just wanna be, Sigma Gamma, Sigma Gamma ... ). Her bounce beats and whispering voice are a feel-good combination.
The single "We Need a Resolution" — an appeal to her lover — came out during my final semester before graduation. I was a lovesick insomniac. That song reflected my mood and lifted my spirit. I was becoming a woman and, with degree in hand, I ventured off into the real world.
Two months later the CD "Aaliyah" was released. It became my sanity on bad days and my smile, just because. Every song has a melody and a lyrical moment with a meaning.
"It's Whatever" is the perfect love groove: "You're my tree and through the storms you've stood strong for me/kept me warm as can be/like a candy to an apple/we go together/you're so sweet on me/I can say that I do believe this is destiny."
She must have been thinking of her boyfriend Damon Dash, who co-runs Roc-A-Fella Records with rapper Jay-Z. In an emotional phone call with MTV, he said they'd planned to get married, maybe after she filmed "The Matrix" sequels.
"She was the best person I ever knew," he said. "It was like being with your homeboy and your girl at the same time."
As I have grown, Aaliyah's music has grown with me. At 22, Aaliyah Dana Haughton was all sultry soul. Her name in Arabic means "powerful one," and she exuded, with humility, a power to touch millions. She allowed herself to be a vessel in which great things were carried, and that was her life.
"This is what I always wanted, " she told Vibe magazine. "I breathe to perform, to entertain. I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I'm just a really happy girl ... I feel very fulfilled and complete."
It is said that music is soul medicine. Aaliyah has been my prescription for several years and will be for many more to come.

Two Stroke Gas Petrol Motor Engine Model
Product Details
Two Stroke Gas Petrol Engine Model
This is an excellent model of a two stroke gas engine, great for hands on display of what goes on inside of a two stroke engine. The model's bulb is powered by electricity at positive and negative power nodes, use wire and posts of 9 volt battery. The engine action is powered by a wheel crank.
In four stroke engines there are two unproductive strokes, the suction stroke and the exhaust stroke. Dugald Clark in 1878 figured an alternative method that uses the suction and exhaust to power an additional stroke for each revolution of the crankshaft. Because of this, the power output of the two stroke engine doubled that of the four stroke.
The two stroke gas engine has two disadvantages, fuel loss and idling difficulty. The way fuel loss is avoided is by using fuel injection instead of a carburetor. Two strokes engines are lighter, more powerful, and the work to overcome friction of the exhaust and suction stroke is saved. High speed two stroke engines are less efficient due to volumetric efficiency and also two stroke engines tend to cause more consumption of lubricating oils.

Oprah Is Harpo on Violent Women
She'll Hit Again
Oprah Winfrey is increasing domestic violence in America. By being Harpo – remaining silent – on the truth about violent women, she unwittingly perpetuates the problem.? Repeatedly excusing women's culpability and unfairly blaming men only serves to foment this pernicious societal scourge.
On March 19, 2009, Oprah aired an anti-male show about domestic violence (DV), to capitalize on the biggest news story: Rihanna. Oprah holds men totally responsible for both causing and ending DV. Outrageous! Nowhere on her show was mention of all-too-common incidents of female violence such as those involving actress Kelly Bensimon and NFL player Geno Hayes.
Instead, Oprah stridently cautioned her female audience: If he hits, he'll hit again. Fair enough. Missing from her mantra, though, was: Never hit a man – out of anger, revenge, jealousy, hormone imbalance, or any reason whatsoever! Also absent from Oprah's show was a reciprocal warning to men: If she hits, she'll hit again.…(Full Story)

Pruning Primer - Deadheading
Deadheading is the removal of spent flowers soon after they have bloomed. If the flowers are allowed to remain, the plant will develop fruits and seeds, using energy that could otherwise go to producing more flowers, foliage or roots. Deadheading herbaceous annuals and perennials usually results in more blooms that season. Deadheading woody plants will not increase the number of flowers produced that season, but it will reallocate energy to growth and to the production of next season's flower buds.

Why Did Shawn Ryan Rename His Cop Show?
"Adding 'Chicago' to anything is always a good idea."
Allow The Shield creator Shawn Ryan — whose mid-season Fox drama Ride-Along is now going by The Chicago Code — to explain.
Alan Sepinwall at HitFix wondered if this had to do with the somewhat misleading title of Ryan's other new show, FX's Terriers. No, says Ryan:
This isn't tied to the 'Terriers' experience at all. The network and I have been discussing a name change since before 'Terriers' premiered. Ultimately, we wanted something with Chicago in the title and something that implied an experience of more than just another typical cop show. Hopefully this will work. I think the title works well in the ads that Fox has ready to run. Don't know why titles never come easy on my show ('The Shield' was a very late choice after 'The Barn' and 'Rampart,' 'The Unit' was forever debated by CBS, 'Terriers,' and now this).
Ryan explained himself further to Deadline:
Changing the title from Ride-Along to The Chicago Code reflects our belief that this is more than just a cop show. It's about the not just the police but politics, the Midwest, history, Government corruption and the city's code. Plus adding 'Chicago' to anything is always a good idea.
The original executives of popular casual-dining chain Uno Chicago Grill are nodding sagely right now.

Reasons Why You Should Do More Kissing
Longer lasting relationships, bigger paychecks, fewer traffic accidents! Find out how more kissing is good for you!
News flash: a kiss can actually help keep you alive! Sure we know it increases levels of the 'love hormone' but there is more to it than just getting a quick feel good – kissing is actually good for you! Research has shown regular lip-locking has many health benefits such as contributing to lower blood pressure. A German psychology study found men who kiss their mates live longer, make more money and reduced driving accidents. The study says the kiss can lead to having a more positive attitude, thus the benefits.
And, studies have shown relationships tend to last longer if the couple continues to engage in regular smooching. Likewise, being matched up with a bad kisser can lead to breakups.
As the seasons change and things around your love nest get cozier, use the info at these links to help put some heat into your relationship! You might live longer!
Just in case you might need a little brushing up on your technique…

Star Wars Cantina karaoke with Billy Dee Williams! [video]
Chris Hardwick created a fun karaoke video as a part of the Course of the Force campaign that features one of the most iconic locations in the Star Wars sage; the Mos Eisley Cantina! Take a look as Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams!) takes the cantina stage as sings Jason Schwartzman's song "West Coast". As the song goes on the familiar faces around the cantina all start to sing long. "Documented in a galaxy not so far away and shot on the Samsung Galaxy S 4, Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) hits up Karaoke Night at everyone's favorite hive of Star Wars scum and villainy, the Cantina on Tatooine! Lando performs a stirring rendition of WEST COAST, with a few appearances from some friends from this galaxy...Jason Schwartzman, Patton Oswalt, Carrie Keagan, Chris Hardwick and Mike Phirman!" Viewers should be warned however, although a fun video the song is a bit odd. Enjoy!

Door Restriction6/3
Ok, probably a classic mistake. Corner cabinet with pull out, door opens toward the stove on second wall, door touches the unforseen warming drawer handle. Using full overlay logica salice hinges. I tried the restriction clip 87 degrees still does not keep it from hitting the handle. The door needs to stop in that sweet area of not hitting the handle yet allowing the corner hardware to come out. the area is there but I can't figure out the best way to keep the door there, do I now need to do some sort of chain,rope,wire fish hole thingy? or is there some official hardware that I dont know about?? Thanks everyone.
Possible to use a lid stay? Might have to fiddle with the placement to hit the sweet spot.
Oh yeah! That could work pretty well. I'll check it out. thanks.
You could shim the hinge plate with a tapered shim, effectively changing the opening angle.
Call your saline rep. That's what they are for. I just recently saw some cup hinge shims for the first time. Perhaps there is such a shim for your specific angle.
I tried a lid stay side ways on a mock up in the shop and works great for stopping the door in the sweet spot but has trouble closing due to the soft close with out the verticle force. Maybe I need to bust it open and take out what ever damping system is in there. Or try and find a "free swinging" lid stay.
I tried the guys at the tech department and said they had nothing to help with.
Maybe I should invent an adjustable opening hinge and make my millions.
Any other thoughts out there??
Hafele 366.74.900
I bend the loop that attaches to the door as necessary for the application. I leave the screw that attaches the cabinet loop loose, so that the cable can move around when the door closes thereby eliminating any binding. They work fine with Salice soft close hinges.
I hope this helps.
I might have to go with that Hafele wire, atleast it does not look that bad. Any problems with the screw pulling out over time, that would be a worry of mine.
I really can't believe no one has come up with an adjustable opening hinge even if it cost $40 a pair, right now I would be those no question.
This is not exactly high tech. Take a clear bumper that you normally use to soften the noise of the door and put it between the arm of the hinge and the spring. The hinge then will not be able to open as far. Probably will have to play with the thickness of the bumper to get the desired opening angle. Best to put on both hinges. Depending on size of bumpers, you may need to use 2 on each hinge.
I once worked for a very frugal shop owner doing installs. On every job there was a requirement that no door could hit a wall or adjacent cabinet or..any appliance . The way we solved that was to take a length of small dia. Coated cable wire ,we used black. Make two loops, length varied, and attach the cable as a crash chain of sorts to the door and carcass at a aprox 30 or so degrees off the hinge side. It will stop the door bumping the stove . Good luck
Marks suggestion worked out perfect. The rubber bumper idea I thought was going to work, but there was still too much play and it still hit. The Hafele wire is not that ugly either.

Lady Gaga and Nas have filmed a Public Service Announcement (PSA) urging fans to pay tribute to the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy this weekend (11Sep11).
The Poker Face hitmaker and the hip-hop star feature in the 9/11 Tribute Movement clip, which asks devotees, "10 Years Later, what will you do to remember?"
Bosses behind the campaign at 911day.org aim to make the anniversary on Sunday (11Sep11) "the single largest day of charitable service in United States history".
In the video clip, Gaga recalls, "We were in disbelief, we all watched the second tower (of the World Trade Center) fall together."
Nas adds, "Nobody was prepared for 9/11, what happened (sic). I will remember the people that were lost."
Other stars including professional dancer Julianne Hough and reality TV star Pauly D also appear in the PSA.

Our tone-deaf President is at it again. While the economy takes its toll on the average worker, Obama it showing us that he really sympathizes with our pain, by getting his own pair of Air Jordan "MTM" sneakers before anyone else, as a gift from Nike.
According to a report by Esquire, President Obama received the shoes, valued at $700, when he visited the Nike plant in Beaverton, Oregon last week. Obama was there promoting the virtues of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which could mean millions in new revenue and expanded manufacturing of their products overseas. Hence the gifts, which also included a pair of Jordan 11Lab4 sneakers, in a custom box with the Presidential seal (pictured above, with a Presidential approval to boot).
As a basketball fan and a Chicago resident, Obama likely enjoyed the gifts, enough so to forget that the Trans-Pacific Partnership could have negative effects on American companies. Matt LeBretton, the vice-president of New Balance (which makes its shoes in America), slammed the President for visiting Nike, saying "It would be great to have him come to a footwear company that actually still makes shoes in the United States."
I wonder how all those burger flippers demanding $15 an hour think about their hero prancing around the Oval Office in $700 sneakers, while he pretends to sympathize with their cause.
I sure hope the kids in Nike's Chinese shoe factory knew they were making these Jordans for the President. I'm sure it would have been the highlight of their 18-hour workday.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Don't let a flat tire stop you!
Bike-On is a quality sealant that preventively protects against flats, specially developed for bicycles. It automatically seals punctures in your tires caused by nails, thorns, glass etc. up to a diameter of 3,5mm.
This Bike-On formula was specially developed for mountainbikes, to offer extra protection under extreme circumstances.
- Suitable for tires sizing 26"to 29"
- Easy and quick to apply
- Contents: 2 bottles of 200 ml. (1 bottle per tire)
Bike-On installation instructions
You'll need:
- Bicycle pump
- Scissors
Step 1. Turn the wheel so that the valve is in the 4 or 8 o' clock position.
Step 2. Unscrew the valve
This will deflate the tire. Do you have a French/Presta or car valve? Use the provided tool.
Step 3. Place the hose on the valve
Step 4. Place the other end of the hose on the bottle
Unscrew the cap and remove the security sticker. Cut the tip off the bottle so the fluid can easily go through, but make sure the hose still fits.
Step 5. Squeeze the contents of the bottle into the tire
Use an entire bottle per tire.
Step 6. Screw the valve back in
Then reinflate the tire.
Step 7. Turn the wheel a few times so the product can spread
Step 8. Repeat the procedure on the other tire
Step 9. Ride your bike so the Ride-On can fully coat the insides of the tires
Step 10. Your tires are now protected!

Bike-On frequently asked questions
What is Bike-On?
Bike-On is Ride-On's special flat tire prevention formula for bicycles. A high-tech tire sealant, developed to prevent flat tires, seal punctures and lengthen tire lifespan. Different from other sealants, Ride-On is a water-based gel that doesn't harden. The product is safe for tires and rims thanks to the corrosion inhibitors and lasts for the entire lifespan of the tire. The gel contains special aramid fibres that work with the centrifugal forces in the tire to find and repair leaks permanently.
What does Bike-On do?
Bike-On automatically seals punctures caused by nails, screws, thorns, road debris – any puncturing object up to 3 mm in diameter. Bike-On reduces the porosity of the tire and helps tires retain pressure longer.
I removed an object from my tire, but the hole won't close. Why is that?
Bike-On contains fibres that seal the punctures. It may be that the hole is too small for the fibres to fit through. Enlarging the hole a little may help.
What happens to the Bike-On if my bicycle is stationary for a long time?
Bike-On was developed to remain attached to the insides of tire, even when it is not moving. However, after an extended period of standing still the Bike-On may pool in the bottom of the tire. You may experiences some vibrations when you ride it again, but this will lessen as the Bike-On redistributes through the tire.
What should I do when I find an object in my tire?
Remove the object as soon as possible. Use tongs for nail or shards of glass, for a screw it's better to unscrew it with a screwdriver to prevent further damage to the tire. Ride the bike immediately after so the Bike-On can fully seal the puncture.

Final Bag Dimensions:
This knitted mesh market bag is great for the beach or running around town. You can add up to two pockets to the straps for a cell phone or other accessories. There are two different pocket styles - choose one or both! The bottom is a solid seed stitch, so items at the bottom will not poke through. Of course this bag is machine washable because it's made from cotton material, so no matter what you use it for, you can always pop it in the washing mashine for a refresher!
The main part of the strap is knitted back and forth in a seed stitch. However the wider base section is a stockinette stitch with a ribbed edge to prevent curling. Then later you'll knit a pocket to be stitched over this area.
Now it's time to make that upper band on the bag. This band will help give the bag some stability, as it is knitted in the round in a seed stitch. Continue using the size 7 needles here.
With the 14 sts you already have on your needle, we're now going to co 46 more stitches.
Note: Recommend using a Knitted Cast On
Ending with a knitted st (not a yo or k2tog):
Note: With the p2tog, k2tog's: this is meant to maintain the seed stitch pattern. It's possible yours may not match up. Therefore, you'll need to look at your own work and determine if the stitch before your descrease stitch is a purled stitch then you will k2tog and then p2tog. If the stitch before the 2 decrease stitches is a knitted stitch, then p2tog, k2tog and continue to maintain the seed stitch pattern.
We've got two pocket styles to choose from. You can knit one or both, it's up to you. The pockets are knitted and then attached to the bag strap when completed.

NORWICH Theres nothing about community when it comes to community colleges anymore, one local government leader says, and Chenango County taxpayers shouldnt be charged for its students who choose to attend one.
Town of Pharsalia Supervisor Dennis Brown said last week that Broome Community College - where a number of Chenango Countys college-aged and adult students are enrolled - owes us an explanation for what they are doing for our community.
Americas community colleges were originally created in the 1940s to provide those seeking a two-year, post-secondary degree with a public, more affordable and community-based option. According to then President Harry Trumans 1947 Commission on Education, the dominant feature of a community college was its intimate relations to the life of the community it serves.
Nowadays, two-year degree programs have sprung up at all types of educational institutions across the country and have little, if anything, to do with community. In fact, the original purpose of community colleges has changed dramatically, the dean of Morrisville State University of New Yorks Norwich campus said Monday.
Community colleges are starting up residence halls and building apartments for students to live in, said Dean Ted Nichols. They are attracting international students, and theres a lot of discussion going on right now about them offering bachelors degrees. Its our open market mentality.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Monday, January 11, 2016
1. Shire agreed to buy Baxalta for $32 billion, creating the world's largest rare-disease drugmaker. The deal will add Baxalta's hemophilia drugs to Shire's portfolio, including Advate, which can cost between $200,000 to $500,000. The accepted offer represents a 38% premium on Baxalta's share price. (Bloomberg)
2. Drug prices continue to trend upwards. Equity analysts say that Pfizer, Amgen, Allergan and Horizon Pharma have raised US prices of their branded drugs since late December. Pfizer raised prices on over 60 of its branded products by an average of 10% or more, according to Deutsche Bank. (WSJ)
3. Sanofi partnered with another French drugmaker, Innate Pharma SA, to develop new cancer antibodies designed to attack tumors. Sanofi will handle marketing, development and manufacturing for any products. Innate stands to receive as much as $437 million in potential payments as well as royalties on sales.
4. Drugmakers, insurers and the FDA launched the National Immunotherapy Coalition broadening access to over 60 approved immunotherapy drugs. The group consists of leaders from Amgen, Celgene, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Nantworks, FDA and Independence Blue Cross. The coalition will form a new initiative, dubbed "Cancer MoonShot 2020." More details are expected to be revealed at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, January 12. (MedCity News)
5. AbbVie's hepatitis C combination drug, Viekira Pak, received Priority Review from the FDA for use without antiviral add-on ribavirin in patients with genotype1b of the virus. Priority Review reduces the review period from 10 months to six months.

We have one book devoted to the topic of Claude glasses:
Maillet, Arnaud. The Claude glass: use and meaning of the black mirror in western art. Arnaud Maillet; translated by Jeff Fort. 1st pbk. ed. New York: Zone Books, 2009. 306 p. Originally published: 2004.
I attached a list of other references as well.
Maillet states: "The definition of the Claude mirror fluctuates...and this makes identifying it just by these characteristics all the more uncertain. In addition, it is difficult to locate it in texts, since its description is very close to, or even identical with, that of the simple convex mirror also used by painters. Moreover, it is very similar to mirrors made of obsidian, coal, or jet. It is also very easy to make: for example, by applying black or a black leaf to the back of a plate of glass." p. 25.
I am sending a scan of the first chapter of Maillet's book. The book gives clues - not directions - for making Claude or black glasses (with ink, for example).
To borrow a copy of Maillet, please contact your local library. Ask them to obtain a copy via Interlibrary Loan. For information about borrowing from our library, please see our web page: http://www.cmog.org/research/library/visit/services/loan.
I added our silvering bibliographies. The description of preparing the glass plate for silvering may be useful.
Please let me know if I can provide additional information.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Tuesday, September 23
The US Department of the Treasury issued a notice Tuesday taking action against corporate tax inversions, which have taken the pharma industry by storm. "These transactions erode the US tax base, unfairly placing a larger burden on all other taxpayers, including small businesses and hard working Americans," the Treasury wrote. The Treasury will target "hopscotch" loans—or the restructuring of a foreign subsidiary to gain tax-free treatment, prevent an inverted company from transferring cash or property to evade taxation, and strengthen the requisite that former owners of the US entity own less than 80% of the newly combined company. The Treasury also noted that "today's actions apply to deals closed today or after today." MM&M is tracking this story.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report Tuesday modeling a worst-case scenario for the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, writing that, without additional intervention, the number of Ebola cases could reach 1.4 million by January 2015. The US agency stated that ending the epidemic will require treating approximately 70% of people infected with Ebola, adding that "every 30-day delay in increasing the percentage of patients in ETUs (Ebola Treatment Units) until 70% of all patients were hospitalized was associated with an approximate tripling of the number of daily cases that occur at the peak of the epidemic." In other news, the FDA approved expanded use of Tekmira's experimental Ebola treatment, the company said yesterday.
The UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) gave Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen a bit of good and bad news. The good: it approved the company's hepatitis C drug Olysio (simeprevir) with peginterferon and ribavirin. The bad: the approval is limited to genotype 1 patients, but as PMLive reports, the approval does not cover combining the drug with sofosbuvir (Gilead's Sovaldi) for genotypes 1 and 4 patients who cannot tolerate an interferon-based regimen. "We are disappointed with the preliminary recommendations from NICE... [W]e believe there is an unmet need in these patient groups that simeprevir can help address," Janssen medical director Peter Barnes said in a statement.
Boehringer Ingelheim is laying off up to 600 employees in Germany. Reuters reports that the family business said lower domestic reimbursement rates and US healthcare budget cuts prodded the company in this direction. Reuters notes that the company expects to eliminate 500 to 600 jobs in Germany by the end of 2016.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is allocating $10 million in grants to increase the number of female clinical trials—both human and animal. The New York Times reports that the funding will be spread among more than 80 researchers who are investigating an array of conditions including migraine and stroke. "It's an early first step we're taking to encourage people to see the value of studying sex as a biological issue," NIH women's health researcher Janine Clayton tells the Times.

Try Microsoft Edge A fast and secure browser that's designed for Windows 10 Get started
Branding and customizing SharePoint Online is different than branding and customizing SharePoint Server products. SharePoint Online gets updated with new features on a regular basis and these updates can affect certain types of customizations. However, there are recommended customization and branding techniques available today that can streamline your branding and customization requirements. For example, if you are making structural changes to the master pages it's important to stay up to date with the ongoing product updates applied to SharePoint Online. The easiest way to stay informed is to watch the
Office 365 Roadmap
and monitor the
Cross Body Bags 23 Leather Saddle Bag Bordeaux red Cross Body Bags for ladies Coach wsSZ41sSq
The software updates that Microsoft makes to SharePoint Online happen much faster than SharePoint server and customizing or unghosting master pages, which are a core part of the product, will result in those customizations being affected by updates. To remedy the situation, those customizations will need to be re-applied to the updated pages. Staying up to date is possible, but needs to happen much more frequently in SharePoint Online.
Methods for customization that work in SharePoint server won't necessarily work in SharePoint Online. Some of the methods used for customizing and extending SharePoint server, for example, rely on the fact that the underlying platform is not constantly being updated – as is the case with SharePoint Online. SharePoint Online is continuously being improved, and any files that have been customized or unghosted may be affected by updates. Here are some recommendations for common SharePoint customizations, as compared to private SharePoint deployments vs. the SharePoint Online service.
SharePoint Online customizations range from non-technical changes you can apply quickly in the browser using site commands or features to custom app development using developer tools:
Customization using the browser You can use the browser-based settings SharePoint Online to apply simpler customizations like changing title and logo, updating navigation links, applying a new site theme, changing the contents of a page, or changing views for lists and libraries. Browser-based customizations are the easiest customizations to apply, and they require minimal technical expertise.
Customizations using supported tools and applications You can use supported SharePoint tools to perform more extensive customizations. For example, Office applications like Access 2013, Excel 2013, and Visio 2013 help you create highly dynamic, data-rich pages on your site. You can even create a SharePoint app as a no-code solution by using Access 2013.
Conventional thinking juxtaposes democracy and dictatorship as mutually exclusive systems. It is often assumed that when one system collapses, it is replaced by the other, as if this was the natural order of things. Some theorists, such as Francis Fukuyama, argued that liberal democracy had decisively defeated tyranny with the collapse of the Soviet Union, which marked the "end of history". Indeed, since then, while there have been setbacks in countries such as Ukraine and Zimbabwe, dictatorship has been in retreat.The most dramatic wave of change has been the Arab Spring, in which strongmen in North Africa and the Middle East have been deposed since January 2011. In less dramatic fashion, several countries in sub-Saharan Africa have also moved incrementally toward democratic rule over the last decade. According to The Economist , of 1 October 2011, since 1991, 30 parties or leaders in sub-Saharan Africa have been removed by voters. While outcomes have varied, and violence has sometimes followed, grass roots political action, not military rule or assassinations, is emerging as the primary method of removing unpopular leaders.However, states often go through fleeting periods of democratic reform which may not fully materialize, or teeter in the balance for prolonged periods of time. Myanmar is an example of democracy crushed for half a century. The military has ruled since 1962, and the current junta since 1988, when it violently suppressed a pro-democracy movement. In 2011, a civilian Government was installed, dominated by the same military or ex-military leaders. It initiated a series of positive steps, including giving more freedom to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the popular opposition leader who won the 1990 elections. The Government also loosened restrictions on the media and the Internet, suspended construction of a controversial hydroelectric dam supported by China, and released more than 200 political prisoners in October 2011. While these steps are encouraging, Myanmar has far to go. It remains one of the most closed countries in the world, where the army continues the repression of ethnic minorities, the main opposition political party was banned until November 2011, and hundreds more political prisoners languish in jail.In Nigeria credible elections were conducted in 2011, the first since the return of civilian rule in 1999, and it resulted in the historic installation of a president from a minority ethnic group. Yet this singular event, which deservedly earned worldwide praise, did not fundamentally change the political system. There is a vibrant press, an increasingly active civil society and an enterprising population; yet the country faces formidable problems, including ethnic, religious, and economic friction; endemic corruption; severe economic inequality; deepening violence; and a political culture dominated by competing cliques of ex-generals and business tycoons who act as behind-the-scenes power- brokers. Thus, while Myanmar remains an authoritarian State with inklings of political reform, Nigeria is an electoral democracy with undemocratic traits. In neither country is democratization assured.MIXED OUTCOMESIn 1989, there was widespread hope for democratic transformation when the Berlin Wall came down. However, the death knell for authoritarianism had not rung in many of the capitals of the successor republics that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, especially in Central Asia. In Russia, a popular leader appealed to his people's desire for order and national pride over the chaos of an oligarchy and the loss of superpower status, which resulted in a "managed democracy."Mixed outcomes are also possible in the Middle Eastern countries embroiled in the Arab Spring and in African States struggling with democratization. Most lack the historical experience, institutional foundations, and social consensus to undergo smooth transitions. There are no preordained outcomes. The leadership, timeframe, resources, and circumstances are different in each transition. Positive results have been seen, for example, in Liberia, despite two civil wars that killed an estimated 250,000 people. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first elected female African Head of State, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011, succeeded in preventing a recurrence of fighting, getting international debt relief, attracting economic aid, and keeping her country on track toward democracy since she was first elected in 2005. Despite that, Liberia remains a fragile state.Elections are an essential part of democratization, but they can also be conflict-inducing if they are held too soon, are blatantly manipulated, lack transparency, or are marred by violence. Moreover, even if conducted efficiently, they may result in power shifts that not only marginalize powerful elites, but entire communities, creating sectarian or ethnic conflict. The Kenyan elections in 2007 did both.In Nigeria, Northerners did not feel that the 2011 elections were free and fair, as most observers reported. The north -- the poorest region in the country -- is where most of the post-election violence which killed hundreds was concentrated, and where, perhaps not coincidentally, terrorist incidents attributed to Boko Haram, a radical Islamist movement, have escalated since the polling.Populations may be loath to return to old authoritarian rulers, but they also do not want to see continued violence. Thus, after a full-blown conflict or revolutionary change, they often turn to new strongmen as saviours to impose order on chaos -- often based on clan, ethnic, or religious identities. There is also a temptation to grasp for quick solutions, hold snap elections, push through slap-dash constitutional arrangements, use shotgun power-sharing agreements, or defer to transitional councils led by security forces -- measures that undermine the foundation for democracy.STATE-BUILDINGIn truth, the biggest danger facing fragile states in transition is not the rise of a new dictatorship, as is often assumed, or even the emergence of extremist factions, which usually represent a minority of the population. These outcomes are possible, but the larger threats are civil war, state collapse, mass atrocities, humanitarian emergencies, and a possible break-up of the country.One way to avoid such scenarios is to institute an intermediate process of state-building, focusing not only on writing a new constitution, holding elections, and providing for basic freedoms, but also on building or restructuring core state institutions: the police, military, civil service, and judiciary, legislative and executive branches of Government. State-building cannot be bypassed by political accommodation. There still needs to be a solid state infrastructure for long-term stability, the provision of public services, adherence to the rule of law, and promotion of economic opportunity.Thus far, Tunisia has provided the best model of how it should be done. Within a year of driving its former authoritarian leader into exile, Tunisia became the first Arab Spring country to hold elections for a constituent assembly to write a new constitution and appoint an interim Government. The gradual and ordered political transition will allow time for the people to shape the structure of Government, and for new political formations to emerge, including political parties and civil society. Most of all, it affords the interim Government the chance to lay out a roadmap for the future, including how to structure the transfer of power and set up state institutions. South Africa followed a similar path during its four-year-long transition to a post-apartheid society, from the time that anti-apartheid parties were legalized and political prisoners released in 1990, until the landmark election of Nelson Mandela in 1994. That interim period was crucial for laying the foundation for a peaceful and lasting democratic transition. It was remarkable that there was no external military intervention nor, contrary to widespread expectations, a race war, a collapse of the state, or a return to political violence.GUIDELINES FOR EXTERNAL PARTIESDemocratization in fragile states is a complex process that cannot be rushed nor taken for granted. All parties should be cognizant of certain realities. First, there is no such thing as an instant democracy. No assumptions should be made about the capacity of fragile states to fulfil their democratic aspirations, nor should their capacity to do so be underestimated. What is important is that, whatever the capacity of the newly-formed state to transform itself, the process will not occur overnight.This leads to the second reality -- vacillation, even back-sliding, are not uncommon. Most states in democratic transition are embarking upon huge tasks -- the rebuilding of the state, restoring national cohesion, and creating a representative government. As long as the general trend is in the right direction, one can expect setbacks along the way. Volatility -- not stability -- is the natural order of things in the march to democracy.Third, there must be political inclusion with all major factions allowed to present their views for open political discussion, debate, and political participation. However, a minority of spoilers can be destructive. Thus, in fragile states undergoing rapid change, groups or individuals that openly advocate violence, use hate speech, maintain their own militias, or engage in illegal practices should be restricted from running for public office and held accountable under the law so they do not ignite a new wave of retribution or revenge. If former war-lords and powerbrokers want to move from the battlefield to the ballot box, they should be allowed to do so, provided they give up their arms and refrain from keeping private armies in reserve in case they lose elections. Here the international community can be of vital assistance by providing technical support for the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of former combatants; supplying legal aid to institute the rule of law; offering financial assistance to get the economy going; and training professionals to run state institutions honestly and efficiently.Fourth, the conditions must be right for holding elections -- a secure and safe environment which allows for a proper nomination process, unrestricted media coverage, full and open campaigning by candidates, and citizen participation without intimidation. There must be electoral transparency, independent monitoring, and a well-trained election staff overseen by a commission of respected individuals, with sufficient authority and financial resources to meet the logistical challenges of nationwide voting, which often takes place over several days, in remote areas, and under extreme weather conditions. While it may sound contradictory, elections are not only an all-important pivotal milestone in a democratic transition, but merely the first step. The real tests will come in the second and third elections, and those that come after, when power is transferred peacefully from one party to another.THE BALANCING ACTBeji Caid Essebsi, the 84-year-old transitional Prime Minister of Tunisia, faced a series of protests after the overthrow of the ousted dictator, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, with Tunisians demanding jobs, wages, and immediate retribution against the former rulers. It was not always clear that the transition would be a smooth one. Essebsi summarized the dilemma that he and other leaders across the Middle East and Africa are facing today: "Sometimes the proponents of freedom have demands that go beyond logic, and it is more difficult to protect freedom from the proponents of freedom themselves, than from the enemies", he said. "When someone is hungry asking for food, you only give him what he needs", Essebsi noted, describing his step-by-step approach. "You don't give him more, or else he might die".The collapse of tyranny, Essebsi seems to be saying, is not the end of history: it is just the beginning. Democracy mismanaged, or descending too quickly, could kill nascent freedom, while democracy delayed, or descending too slowly, might lead to a new dictatorship or inspire further insurrection.
Morality evolved to harmonize in-group attitudes, and is therefore biased in favour of those who are with us. As David Berreby documents in
Us and Them
(2005), sharp distinctions between those who are insiders and outsiders is bred in our genome. Social animals are often xenophobic, hostile to strangers of the same species who live outside the territorial and social boundaries of the group. It is far from a matter of giving trespassers the evil eye. Individuals who stray into others' territory open themselves to attacks that may be lethal. "Unprovoked" aggression of this sort has been reported for almost all social species.

The Fourth Admonition reflects the demands of intelligence, culture and social life. Human evolution selected for prolonged childhood, the longest in any animal that ever lived. The Fifth fosters prosocial behaviour through emphasis on egalitarianism and resource sharing. Individual fitness is one thing, but behaviours good for me are seldom good for the group. The thing is, groups also compete with one another, and the more cooperative they are, the better chance they stand of outcompeting the competition. This yin-yang of multilevel selection means that the "selfish gene" cannot be the whole story.
The conceptual apparatus of modern biology has long been thought to be synonymous with Dawkins's famous meme. We are survival machines, wrote the biologist, programmed to replicate our twisted strands of genetic code. We may do so with the aid of the group or even by contributing to the welfare of the group, but with the ultimate goal of multiplying copies of our DNA. If acts of altruism and selflessness occur on the way, they occur only to the extent that they serve the continuation of the gene beyond the individual currently carrying it.
The Sixth Admonition does not merely encourage a reinterpretation of the selfish gene in more prosocial terms—it demands it. Prosocial behaviour is, after all, compatible with self-serving behaviour, even though they may frequently be only reluctant bedfellows. Far from being maladaptive, self-sacrifice has emerged from the same adaptive pressures that produced more self-oriented forms of social exchange, such as favouring kinfolk and reciprocal back-scratching. There is, in short, no need to look outside evolution to explain why "me first" is not always an enemy of "we first".
Quite so, maintains a leading evolutionist, for "there is more to evolution than adaptation". [viii] The Seventh Admonition reinforces this message by stressing the interplay between genetic and social factors. Biology has moved on from the days when Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton, framed the nature-nurture dialectic. Today his thesis and antithesis look more like the 1948 Escher lithograph of one hand drawing another in a closed loop. This is because, in all likelihood, gene-culture coevolution was the twin Rolls-Royce engine that lifted hominids from the plains of Africa to the heights of scientific, artistic and material sophistication we enjoy today.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Dany Heatley had a goal and an assist, Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves for his first career shutout, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Nashville Predators 4-0 on Sunday night.
Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six.
Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookie's best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side.
The Predators have lost three in a row and six of their last seven.
Heatley scored the game's first goal with 7:57 left in the first period when he redirected Charlie Coyle's shot past Nashville goalie Marek Mazanec.
Zucker doubled the lead just 2:12 later with his third of the season. Heatley skated down the right side with Zucker on a 2-on-1. He sent a pass to Zucker on the left side, where he had an easy tap-in.
Coyle, who had the secondary assist on Zucker's goal, scored twice in Minnesota's home loss to Colorado on Saturday night, giving him a four-point weekend.
At 1:14 of the third, Cooke took a nice feed from Justin Fontaine and beat an out-of-position Mazanec for his sixth goal of the season, and his first since Dec. 5.
Scandella scored with 9:44 remaining with a wrist shot from above the left faceoff circle.
NOTES: Eight of the 12 defencemen who played in the game were Nashville draft picks, all six Predators plus Minnesota's Ryan Suter and Jonathon Blum. … Nashville RW Patric Hornqvist returned to the lineup after missing two games with a lower-body injury. … Minnesota is 2-4-1 in the second half of back-to-back games this season. Wild D Nino Niederreiter has eight points in his last eight games.

Update: A Communal Leader on the R' Telsner and Groner Affair
By Alex Fein:
Update: An communal leader, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, submitted the following questions to Galus in the hope that they might elicit a response from the Chabad rabbinate:
"Might I suggest that Galus asks what is, in my mind, the key question on the issue of Chabad and Zionism, and on the issue of Chabad rabbis of modern orthodox shuls?
The original article:
Over the past few days, a furore has erupted. Sam Tatarka, Rabbi Smukler, and Ian Waller have joined a chorus of condemnation of Rabbis Zvi Telsner and Chaim Tzvi Groner.
The rabbis have issued a public backdown regarding their having given written support to an anti-conscription rally organised by Adass.
The backdown is almost as appalling as their initial support for anti-state groups. While neither rabbi has the fortitude to stand by his convictions, both indulge in weasel words that are obviously a response to the fury that has spread throughout the religious community.
I'll republish their letter with my own commentary within their text.
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner]: "Earlier this week we were presented with a letter on which to add our signatures concerning a communal Tefilah gathering in relation to the proposed conscription laws in Israel. Unfortunately the letter also included a negative inference to the Israeli government which we deeply regret and from which we would like to emphatically disassociate ourselves."
[Alex Fein]: What has happened in the interim to cause this, "deep regret?" Is it public opprobrium? Without such condemnation, would their joining anti-Zionists in support of a movement that demands money from the state while refusing to acknowledge its right to exist, still stand?
Are the rabbis' halachic opinions similarly flexible? If they deliver an opinion that their community dislikes, will they express similar "regret" and "disassociate [sic]" themselves from it – emphatically?
I find it hard to believe they would have put their names to a letter they had both failed to read, so at some point, they must have thought it a sterling idea to throw their lot in with the anti-Zionists.
This is not about whether one can justifiably criticise the Israeli government, as some have suggested. Communal disquiet has emerged from the company these Rabbis keep when they put their name to such a protest.
And the argument that we need learning as much as we need security is a complete furphy. No one anywhere is trying to prevent learning. No one is even suggesting that haredim take up guns and fight. They are simply being asked – along with the rest of the Israeli population – to engage in national service.
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner] "We, and the Yeshivah Centre, strongly and proudly support Israel. We have a heartfelt and enduring love for and commitment to Eretz Yisroel, its people and its heroic Defense Forces."
[Alex Fein] The Rabbis say they support Israel. Why then do they join forces with those who seek the destruction of the state while gladly accepting government handouts?
The rabbis state they have a "love for and commitment to Eretz Yisroel," but what about Medinat Yisrael? Do they support the state? If not, what does that mean for their de facto spiritual leadership of the community? What does it mean for the scores of Chabad rabbis who lead our congregations who take their cues from Rabbis Telsner and Groner. 80% of us are Zionists of one stripe or another. Are our rabbis? If not, why not?
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner] "A large number of our graduates and indeed Chabad Chassidim from Israel and around the world, serve in the Israeli Army and choose to make Aliya and live in our Holy Land. We have the highest regard for the bravery and sacrifice of our Israeli soldiers. Chabad chassidim, including leading activists, communal leaders and educators around the world proudly serve in the IDF. In addition, thousands of Chabad youth and adults support our soldiers on the field and in their bases on a daily basis."
[Alex Fein]: So what? Does that in any way ameliorate the rabbi's signing, then disavowing the flyer? That some of their students support the State is lovely. Do the rabbis have the temerity to suggest that they deserve some personal kudos for the bravery of their students?
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner]: "This week in Israel, Chabad will be delivering tens of thousands of mishloach monos to our troops throughout the land, giving up time with their own families in order to bring cheer, encouragement and hope to our forces, by celebrating with them the joy of Purim."
[Alex Fein]: What on earth does this have to do with that appalling flyer and their support of it?
Moreover, the above statement is utterly disingenuous. Should we not expect religious Israeli citizens to support the men and women who defend them? Should we not expect religious Israeli citizens to celebrate the festivals with members of the armed forces? Only failure to do so would be worthy of comment. It is patently ridiculous to expect non-Chabad Jews anywhere to applaud Chabad Israelis for engaging in basic religious decency.
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner]: "The conscription issues are highly complex."
[Alex Fein]: Indeed, these issues are sufficiently complex that they should give one pause before signing simplistic and damaging flyers.
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner]: "We hope and pray that Jewish people around the world can come together and unite for the safety and security of Eretz Yisroel, its noble defence forces and its people."
[Alex Fein]: I'm always suspicious of calls for unity. They usually come from people whose divisive behaviour causes harsh criticism. If unity were really uppermost on the rabbis' list of priorities – and not a thoroughly hypocritical means of misdirection – they would not have signed the flyer in the first place.
[Rabbis Telsner and Groner]: "With heartfelt prayers for a true and lasting peace in our holyland and around the world, and for the Geulah Shlemah."
[Alex Fein]: Rabbis Telsner's and Groner's actions appall many religious Jews, including many Chabad members.
These men are senior spiritual leaders of a movement that dominates Melbourne's religious life. In many areas, secular Zionist, and even religious Zionists have divested themselves of religious responsibility and bestowed on Chabad custodianship over Melbourne's Jewish future.
