Sara's life is forever changed –
Waking up, buried & hidden deeply in the last place anyone would want to be, will do that. She is determined to find out how she ended up there & why, but when the only person who can help her, continuously lies to her, she finds herself forced to suffer alone. She can't ignore the strange things that begin to happen to her nor can she hide from the nightmares that haunt her sleep. And when her world collides with Adan – the mysterious boy whom she can't seem to stay away from, literally – she is consumed by the flutter that sparks whenever he is around and she is desperate to discover the reason why.
But the biggest discovery will come from the secret of what she is…
Adan's mission to find Sara has finally begun –
It seemed simple: bring her back to the enchanted world that lives, breathes and survives because of her, but he quickly finds himself faced with an entirely new challenge. Immediately, Adan realizes that staying unknown to Sara is a task he will fail before he even begins; the pull to her is far too strong to refuse, and being with her will defy the very reason he existed. He was the key to her survival and loving her was not part of the path that he had been born to follow. Can he find it in himself too resist the urge to be with her and follow through with their destiny or will he destroy everything that had been left to Sara to protect and defend –
And the kingdom she is unaware she rules…
As Sara and Adan struggle to overcome their own separate battles –
There is a far more determined evil that is stalking the shadows and waiting to annihilate them both.
Sara will figure out that not everything is what it seems and knowing what she can and can not trust will be the key to finding out the truth of what happened to her, the reason why she was buried alive and who she really is…
Sara and Adan will discover why she was the reason he existed and why he would be the reason she survived & together they will fight to change the rules and rewrite their fate.
Discover the Meaning,
Discover the Secret,
"I'm a big girl Adan. I knew what I was doing." I looked at him through my eyelashes.
"And what were you doing?" he asked.
"Playing with fire."
"Me, being the fire?"
"You, being my fire." I looked up at him coyly, waiting for his reaction.
I heard the low growl rumble through his chest, and his eyes blazed a stormy blue.
"You have no idea, how much I like the sound of that."
What is your book about?
It's about a girl, Sara, falling in love, discovering there is a lot more to her then what meets the eyes, and the challenges she will face trying to figure out who she truly is.
Has any other author(s) inspired your writing?
Sandra Brown is my FAVORITE Romance author, and the first book I attempted to write was a Romance novel haha. I went with YA after reading Amanda Hocking's Trylle Trilogy. I love the adult of being young and falling in love over and over again. Which is what I did with Sara & Adan *sigh*
What do you think your writing style is?
I hope creative! Haha, but honestly if I only get one person who likes the book, I will be happy! Sorry if I didn't answer this right haha.
Do you have any suggestions for beginning writers?
My favorite question and I will have the same answer every time! Always believe in yourself! Don't be your own worst enemy! It's very easy to psych yourself out. So step back, read a book, eat some ice cream, watch a movie – do anything to relax your mind & then try again. Don't give yourself limitations, writers know no such thing.
When did you decide you wanted to be a writer?
In high school. After reading one of my mom's romance novels, I was hooked! Reading, writing, all of it! I couldn't get enough; it was an addiction, my passion. I will ever be a writer, even if I never publish another book after Flutter. I hope I do though haha!
Why should readers consider your novel?
Because it tastes like chocolate and smells like strawberries?? Just kidding, but that would be awe-SOME! I want readers to consider it because I've tried to make Sara; she is the main female character, different. I'm really excited for people to figure how who and what she is!
Were any of your characters a reflection of you?
No, I don't think so. If any, maybe Sara, but only because she is like my daughter and my daughter is like me. However Sara, is very stubborn and she has a mind of her own. She is very much her own person, even if she herself, is still learning who she is.
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
Hmm that I taste like chocolate and smell like strawberries! Just kidding! Don't eat me!! Actually I think people would be surprised to know I use to be a wedding planner. Yep, for 2 years! & I loved it! I like too think I'm creative in more ways than one. I love details, I love to be organized & I love weddings!
What is your favorite part of the book?
Eeep! How do I even pick?! I guess I will have to say the scene at the Falls! & that's all I will say! You will have to find out why *insert evil laugh here*
How did you start your writing career?
The first story I ever finished was a children's story called Arnold. Arnold was an ant who believed he could be whatever he wanted in life, it was complete with illustrations by moi! I actually won a contest for that story and got a Savage Garden CD haha.
LOVED all the questions!! Thank you so much for having me on your blog, you're such a sweetheart!! I can't wait to finish TOUCHING SMOKE!! Xoxo -Mel
I find it hard to sum up my life in a paragraph, but I'll try.
Reading has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing. Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. Flutter will be my debut release, and I couldn't be more excited about it! The only thing I do better than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter's will always be my greatest accomplishment.
I was born in Denver, Colorado –but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don't have a big family, but I'm close with my sister, brother & my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by.
4 things you should know about me: I'm very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the best of them. I adore the color pink, I love things that sparkle (including vampires) and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5)
Thank you so much, Melissa, for taking the time to stop by and talk to us about your fantastic new release! Best of luck to you in the future!

Bus Riders United (BRU)
CEDC is a founding member of Bus Riders United (BRU). BRU is an organization of bus riders, community organizations, and labor groups, who advocate for better public transportation. CEDC supports the work of a transit organizer who coordinates the coalition and builds the bus rider membership base. BRU began its work two years ago to organize around the lack of bus service after 6:00 P.M., holiday bus service, and Sunday service. Lack of public transportation limits low income and working families' access to jobs, English classes, medical appointments and overall quality of life to thousands of people who could be riding the bus if service were expanded.
BRU was successful in 2013 in expanding bus service at night and securing free bus transfers. BRU continues to call for transparency within the Regional Transit Authority and is the voice of bus riders to ensure they are not ignored in the decision-making process.

With the big storms heading our way, a lot of people headed to the grocery store.
Riesbeck's Assistant Store Director sieve Fusner says the local grocery store has seen a lot of traffic today for big ticket items.
"We have sold a lot of water today and ice and we have more ice and water on order now. Batteries, we sold out of batteries last year, as well and flashlights. And candles, a lot of people are coming in looking for candles, stuff like that. We really sold quite a bit of."
Fusner says Riesbeck's will have the promised water and ice by this evening. Based on what he witnessed during the storms last year, he also has some other suggestions, that might be worth purchasing.
"But I think charcoal was a main item last year too because people couldn't cook on their electric stoves so they cooked on their grills. So we sold a lot of charcoal and charcoal lighter. "
Riesbeck's will be opened for their normal hours today and tomorrow which is 6 am till midnight.

Everything the Prezi
tutorial left out. Viwer discresion is advised... First thing, the tutorial teaches you the basic things of prezi like "how to make words" and "how to make a circle." So I decided to put all that together and add things that I have learned myself. Lets look over some of the things prezi can do. First thing the tutorial seemed to miss, creating your own themes. It is fairly simple but can use explaining. In your bubble menu, click on colors and fonts, then choose theme wizard. Here you have two choices at the bottom left hand side of the screen, but we will stick to wizard for now. on the first page you get an option to change the background and logo (paid accounts only) and on the next page you get your fonts and colors, I will get more on fonts later. The last page has customizable colors for all items like arrows and boxes. Some things have the same colors like arrows and lines. Now for fonts. You get three font options. Title1, Title2, and body. Body is default. to change the theme while editing text, use the checkboxes next to the OK button. To change the look of the font, use the colors and fonts option in your bubble menu in the top left corner. http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Ffrontpagemag.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F11%2FDecision-Points.jpg&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFJLyUZGvhV6YERXQfAsVI7P3ugoQ This is mostly self explanitory but I will explain it anyway. Group editing is also an option using the Meeting button at the top of the screen. You have the option to either share your presentation online so people can edit over the internet, or show it as a presentation so there is no SchoolVIEW needed. The process is simple, first goto meeting in the menu bar and chose the option of your liking (edit or present) then a message will appear. Give it to someone else and thats it! http://newhumanist.org.uk/images/0805-May.jpg Another thing left out in the video was the usage of frames. frames are a box that can be used as place holders to make more than on thing visible at the same time. Example! The original tutorial These were my fonts in this Prezi. That was an hidden frame here is what it looks like. To do that is probably the most "super simple." All you
have to do is go to frame in the bubble menu and
chose the one you think is best, then link it to a path.
Here are the different frames (there is a hidden one also.). The rest of Prezi should be all explained or self explanitory so have fun Prezi-ing. Music in Prezi This is pretty simple, but it is not a direct feature of Prezi. Instead, we will use our friend, Youtube. All you have to do is find your song on Youtube and put it here, but instead of putting it to a path, put it in a visible view (like a frame) and roll your mouse over it and press play. Press the play button for Fort Knox by Goldfish! You can safely go threw your Prezi with the music on, and even watch other Youtube videos.

Things the Prezi tutorial left out
The normal, boring Prezi tutorial told you how to do the basic stuff like move things and make text, but it left out a lot of stuff. Here is everything I can find that was left out. All pictures were made by me (DJ Anselmo) but the videos aren't mine

Hip fractures are common head on car accident injuries due to the force of the impact.
Hip fractures are a common outcome of a head on car accident, because the forces involved in this kind of an accident can push up the leg to the hip and cause the hip to break near the pelvis. There are several types of hip fractures that can result from a car accident.
Types of Hip Fractures and Their Treatment
Extracapsular fractures are a type of fracture that occur in a way that the blood supply to the hip remains unaffected. This type of fracture is treated by surgery, which involves making an incision and replacing the femur head or using screws and plates to hold the ends of the joint together until it heals.
Another fracture that can result from such an accident is an intracapsular fracture. It involves the femoral neck and may cause damage to the blood supply to the area. This injury can result in loss of circulation to the femoral neck or avascular necrosis. These types of hip fractures often need complete replacement of the femoral head.
The forces of a car accident can cause the femoral head to get pushed up through the acetabulum causing it to break. The acetabulum is a part of the pelvic bone and the socket part of the hip joint. If the acetabulum does not heal with conservative treatment, it has to be replaced with an artificial socket. An artificial femoral neck may also have to be placed to ensure that they fit well together.
When someone suffers a hip fracture in a front end car accident, he/she may experience immediate hip pain and may be unable to walk on the injured leg. After surgery, the patient will have to undergo physical therapy and will have to use a cane or walker initially to walk.
Symptoms of a Hip Fracture
Some of the signs and symptoms of a hip fracture include:
- Inability to move the injured limb
- Stiffness
- Increased swelling or bruising in the hip or groin area
- Severe pain in hip or groin area
- Shorter leg on the side of the injury
- Externally rotated hip on the affected side
A study was conducted to gauge the frequency and incidence of hip fractures in head on accidents. It was found that these fractures occur quite regularly, because of the forces involved. The study also looked at the probability of long term disability following these kind of accidents. It was found that of all parts of the leg involved in the accident, the hip joint is the weakest point, and therefore most prone to fractures.
While anyone can suffer a hip fracture in a car accident, older people are the most susceptible. Those who suffer from osteoporosis are especially at risk.

John Deere X304
- Maneuvers well around obstacles
- 3.3-gallon fuel tank
- Four-year or 300-hour warranty
- No washout port
Bottom Line
Both experts and owners agree that the John Deere X304 is one of the best lawn tractors on the market. With great performance and easy handling, users say the X304 mows "flawlessly" and is "fun to drive." As part of John Deere's deluxe line, the X304 includes a high-backed seat, electric power takeoff, cruise control and a large gas tank. With a wide variety of attachments available, many owners use it for much more than just mowing.
Two-cylinder engine. The X304 performs well in comparison tests, and excels at mulching and bagging clippings. With the mulching blades "I've turned a 75 leaf-bagging exercise into pure mulching for the yard," says one owner at Deere.com. The Telegraph's Jean Vernon says this tractor mulches both short and long grass "admirably."
The 18.5-horsepower, two-cylinder Kawasaki engine is an upgrade for 2013, and experts say it lasts longer, provides more power and vibrates less than one-cylinder engines. The X304 comes with cruise control and a choke, which is essential for cold-weather use. Separate from the speed control, the choke lever is spring-loaded to prevent users from accidentally leaving it on.
The X304's ability to mow up to 2 acres with a maximum forward speed of 5.5 mph is pretty standard, but its 4.0 mph reverse speed is the fastest of all the lawn tractors in our report. A few users warn that when they go too fast, the tires can leave marks on the lawn.
Ease Of Use
Packed with features. Both experts and users praise the X304's unique four-wheel steering, which engages all the tires to get a close cut around obstacles. In a comparison of five lawn tractors, Vernon says the X304 "offers exceptional maneuverability, mowing tightly and easily around trees, beds and borders." Its 15-inch turning radius is one of the smallest available.
Adding to the X304's comfort and usability are a high-back seat, cup holder, tool tray, headlights and location for an optional 12-volt outlet. Although it lacks a dash-mounted fuel gauge, the tractor has a 3.3-gallon gas tank and a number of users say the X304 uses very little gas. On the downside, this model has no washout port to clean clippings from the deck. Still, many reviewers say the convenience features make the X304 fun to drive.
John Deere offers a variety of attachments for this lawn tractor, and many owners say it's powerful enough for much more than just mowing. Optional implements include a front blade, snow blower and leaf bagger. John Deere has one of the best records for durability, according to a brand survey by a leading consumer organization. The X304 is backed by a four-year or 300-hour limited warranty, one of the longest on the market.
Easy adjustments. The X304 meets all riding mower standards from the American National Standards Institute, including a higher seat back and blade shut-off if you dismount. For reverse mowing, the X304 must be brought to a complete stop before you can select the reverse option.
The X304 uses a centralized knob to change mower height, adjustments to level the deck from side to side and a deck-leveling gauge. All settings can be accessed from the driver's seat, so there's no need to reach under the fender deck where the blades are.
Quieter than most. Paul Sikkema, a landscape professional and author of TodaysMower.com, says the X304 has a quiet engine that's similar to more expensive estate tractors. Vernon adds, "The engine is designed to surpass the latest worldwide noise and emission regulations." Numerous owners praise the X304's low engine noise, as well.
Safety experts caution to always wear hearing protection when mowing, even for quieter models like the X304.

Not only that, but with my normal selection of apps running, much less CPU time is being used. As soon as I open up the non-webkit Safari more CPU time is taken up just having it running in the background with some tabs open. I have not compared memory usage, so that is something I will have to do next. The speed improvements are absolutely mind boggling though.

I have quit my teaching job at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, but the Bassfest that I started five years ago still lives on. Scott Kreger, the new double bass instructor at UWW, will be continuing the festival, and he is having me back this year as a clinician. Scott is a double bassist with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and he will really be a great asset to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater School of Music.
The date for the 2007 Whitewater Winter Bassfest will be Saturday, February 17 in Whitewater, Wisconsin.

Ferguson paying lip service to Beckham dangers
Alex Ferguson is mindful of the threat posed by David Beckham tonight, but he's hardly suffering sleepless nights over the prospect of the Londoner's first, and most likely last, competitive return to Manchester United.
Broken bridges have been rebuilt since the pair's fractured relationship paved the way for Beckham's £25m transfer to Real Madrid in 2003, but Ferguson does not lavish the kind of nostalgic praise on the former England captain that he has reserved for his successor in the No 7 shirt -- Cristiano Ronaldo -- since the Portuguese winger's defection to the Bernabeu last summer.
Ferguson might have rolled an eye and cast doubt publicly on Milan's decision to deploy Beckham as a central midfielder following United' 3-2 first-leg victory in the San Siro last month, but the manager retains a healthy respect for the 34-year-old's enduring ability to hurt opponents with his peerless right boot.
Wayne Rooney, rather than Beckham, is the man Ferguson expects to dominate the headlines in tonight's last-16, second-leg tie in Manchester.
But, like the boxer who is wary of the old slugger with the ferocious uppercut, Ferguson admits that Beckham retains the ability to deliver a knockout blow for Milan with the one component of his game that remains as potent as it always has been.
Ferguson said: "I think David's strength has always been in his crossing and his set-piece play. That doesn't change. That has been his strength throughout his career, and the one thing with David that you have to be aware of is his delivery of the ball.
"It is fantastic and that is a threat. There are lots of threats that Milan have, of course, but we are well aware of that posed by David. If he plays, that will be the threat against us."
If he plays. While Old Trafford prepares to afford a hero's welcome to one of its most illustrious sons, Ferguson remains unconvinced that Beckham, who was mobbed by fans on his arrival at Manchester Airport yesterday, will start the game.
Although Milan coach Leonardo has briefed Italian reporters to expect Beckham to be in his starting XI, Ferguson is suspicious of Milan's decision to name the Brazilian forward Pato in their squad, despite doubts over his fitness, and the United manager admits that the uncertainty is clouding his plans for the game.
He said: "It is difficult to say what effect David will have on the tie because we don't know for certain whether he is going to start. He has not started a game since the first leg against us. I find it difficult to pick their team.
"It all depends on Pato's fitness, but he has travelled. I don't know if Beckham will start. I haven't got him down in my conclusions."
Rooney, whose two goals in the first leg secured United's cushion for the return fixture, has been declared fit to start after initially being a doubt with the inflamed knee tendons that forced him to miss Saturday's Premier League victory at Wolves.
With Ronaldo now turning out in Madrid white, Rooney has emerged as United's destructive force in the Champions League as well as in domestic competition and Ferguson, who confirmed that defender Wes Brown will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a broken metatarsal, expects the 24-year-old forward to continue in the same vein tonight.
He said: "It was a worry that Wayne's injury prevented him playing on Saturday. You looked at him on Friday and I didn't think he had any chance of playing against Milan. But he has progressed and he plays and, on his form at the moment, he would be a threat to anyone.
"That is what he will realise for us -- a real threat up front. I don't think that Ronaldo's departure has had anything to do with Wayne's form.
"I don't think that one bit. The credit must go to Wayne and his rise in the game. I just wish I had the two of them there!"
Plans by United supporters to protest against the club's owners, the Glazer family, by boycotting the first 10 minutes of tonight's game, have been abandoned.
"Our fans are not like that," Ferguson said. "It is far too important a game for that.
"I'm sure that, whether they are wearing the traditional red and white or the protest green and gold scarves, they will be united and speaking with one voice to get us safely through the round."
Ferguson need not worry. The focus will be on 'Golden Balls' rather than green and gold.
Beckham said: "It will be good to see Alex again. He's a scary man, but in a really good way. I wanted to stay at United for my whole career, but sometimes things aren't meant to be. I've been to three great clubs since I left United, but it would have been great to stay like Ryan Giggs has." (©Daily Telegraph, London)

WASHINGTON {AP} Republicans and Democrats pressed for late advantage Saturday in a tense, expensive struggle for control of the next Congress. Sen. John McCain barnstormed through three states for GOP contenders and President Clinton countered in New York and Arkansas for Democrats.
With all 435 House seats and 34 of 100 Senate seats on Tuesday's ballot, officials agreed that a relatively small number of competitive races would determine which party sets the agenda when the new session convenes in January.
McCain, one of the most potent weapons in the Republican arsenal, was in West Virginia, which last sent a Republican to Congress in 1982. Stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania also were planned for the Arizona senator who stirred independent voters during his presidential bid this year.
Campaigning for House hopeful Shelley Moore in West Virginia, McCain was mindful of the state's Democratic history. "We know she will be an independent voice for West Virginia and that is what we need," he said, identifying the race as one of about 15 that will settle the battle for party control.
Clinton, eagerly sought as a campaign surrogate by congressional candidates if not presidential nominee Al Gore campaigned across New York City for his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Then the president was heading to his home state of Arkansas, where Mike Ross is challenging four-term GOP Rep. Jay Dickey.
"Are you ready to win this election?" Clinton asked a cheering, chanting crowd of some 1,500 Democrats gathered in a restaurant in the Bronx overlooking Long Island Sound. "You've just got four days, and these four days will determine the next four years and maybe the four years after that and maybe the next 20."
Strategists on both sides said control of the House would turn on three or four dozen districts around the country.
California had four or five of the most competitive seats, including the nation's most expensive, a battle between GOP Rep. Jim Rogan and Democratic challenger Adam Schiff. Kentucky and Florida each had two or three. The rest were scattered from New York and New Jersey on one coast to Washington on the other.
Both parties also looked for late opportunities.
Democrats returned to the air in Georgia in the final days of the campaign, renewing an advertising assault against Rep. Saxby Chambliss.
And in one of the most unpredictable races in many years, Democrats targeted Sen. John Ashcroft in Missouri. Jean Carnahan, whose husband, Gov. Mel Carnahan, died in a recent plane crash, appealed to voters to elect him and send her to Washington.
Their current majorities built on a foundation of Sun Belt and Southern votes, Republicans looked to the Northeast for late surprises. They mounted a strong effort in Connecticut against 10-term Rep. Sam Gejdenson and dared dream they could defeat Hillary Clinton in New York and pick up a Senate seat in New Jersey.

November 21, 2009
B.Two & 25th Hoodlum recently caught up with Japanese tattoo legend Horiyoshi III, to talk about the art of Japanese tattoo, inspirations, clothing, customers, art and life…
When did you first learn the art of tattoo? Tell me about some of your first experiences?
I saw my first tattoo when I was about 4 years old at a public bath house. This man got up from the bath tub and he was covered in a full body suit. I was in shock and also scared but the image of the man with the full body suit was forever imprinted into my mind. I knew then that I wanted to recieve a full body suit tattoo one day.
You come from a long line of honorable artists, what are some of the key things you've learnt from Yoshitsugu Muramatsu?
Shodai Horiyoshi was the best tattoo artist of his generation and was always looking for new techniques and methods to advance his craft. He was a very strict and sometimes mean man on the outside but deep inside, he was kind and generous. Aside from the basics of making ink, needle, drawing and actually tattooing, he taught me that without the customer, tattoo artists will not exist and be able to do what we love to do. Horiyoshi I would wake me up at 4:30AM on several occasions to tell me that a customer drove all night to recieve a tattoo and we would have to start right now! I could not believe it at first but I got used to it. This was his way. I am thankful of the lessons he taught me and forever grateful to my Master.
Horiyoshi III is a name that is well respected in the tattoo industry, please explain your traditional art of tattoo?
The traditional art of the Japanese tattoo is to change and evolve while keeping the main rules intact. I started using the machine to outline in the 80′s as it was much superior to the tebori outline as it was much cleaner and more detailed. I continued to use the tebori for shading as this technique becomes more beautiful over time.
What inspires your creativity?
Everything inspires me from the Baroque period to the old woodblock printers of Japan, Kuniyoshi, Hokusai and the likes. I like to collect antiques from all cultures and I find inspiration in them as well.
What are your thoughts on young tattooists coming out of Japan, pushing the boundaries and creating new styles?
I am excited that younger Japanese tattoo artists are pushing boundries and creating new styles. However, it is very important to understand and study the Japanese history of tattooing and art before creating new styles. This way the line does not break. When one just creates new styles based on aesthetics, it is purely just for the look. The Japanese tattoo is much more than that. It has kokoro (heart).
You have had some very well respected customers walk into your studio, who would be your most memorable customer?
All of my customers are equally special as their pain, tolerance and time allow for me to create my artwork. My customers come from all walks of life to all ranks of the yakuza, businessmen, tattoo artists, etc. I tend to remember the full body suits and also the customers that have strong spirits and kind hearts.
You had an exhibition earlier this year at Vanilla Gallery called "Horiyoshi III – Exhibition of Original Artwork ", how did that go and are you planning on having another one soon?
The exhibition in Ginza was a great success and I thank everyone for their support. Thirty years ago it would've have been unthinkable that a tattoo artist would be able to display his works at an art gallery in Ginza. Times do change. I will also be exhibiting the 108 Heroes paintings in the beginning of 2010 at the Vanilla Gallery.
You've published over 10 books featuring your artwork, whats next on your plate?
My apprentice Horikitsune (Alex Reinke of Europe) will be publishing a book next year titled Kokoro about me. It will be a photobook and very different from the other books in the past. I am very excited to show this to the public and share many aspects of my life not seen before.
I see you've created your own merchandise (Tees, bags, caps, and etc), would you ever venture into producing a Horiyoshi Clothing label?
Yes, in the past I've created various merchandise to sell at my museum and also the studios as souveniers for my guests and customers. I also licensed some of my artworks to various clothing companies in the past but was dissapointed at the outcome and integrety of their business dealings. Therefore, in late 2008, I partnered with a long time friend and customer of mine who is now a member of my family to produce a clothing label Horiyoshi the Third. The new clothing and accessories line Horiyoshi the Third is a very high quality line that is currently being sold at many of the top boutiques in the world. My partner and I both agreed that tattoos should be worn on the body and tattoo art should be placed tastefully with class on clothing. This is currently my bigges project that I am working on and it keeps me inspired to create.
Horiyoshi the Third is currently being sold at the top boutiques in the world.
"Real beauty is often hidden", what are your thoughts?
Yes indeed. i think the beauty last much longer when it is somewhat concealed and hidden rather than flaunted all the time for all to see. The Japanese tattoo is meant for the wearer and maybe a few close loved ones.
You've mentioned all tattoos walk and talk, what do yours say?
This is a very difficult question but I think mine would talk about my life thus far. When Iaugh it laughs and when I cry it crys. It is an extension of my soul.
If there was one thing that you would trade tattooing for, what would it be?
Being key contributor to the japanese tattoo movement, you've seen it all and guided its evolution, so where to from here?
The tattoo culture is becoming evermore mainstream. Although there is nothing we can do of that, i think it is very important that we stay responsible for our actions in art and life. I really do not know where it will go from here.

I saw on here a question about what it means when a guy says you look different, but it's kinda vague so... I just saw this guy (who's kind of a friend haha) that I've known for years. Sometimes he's nice, but other times he can be a real jerk. I haven't seen him in almost a year. He hugged me today and I don't think he ever has (if so, then maybe once or twice). And he tells me "You look different" and I say "Thanks?" And he says "In a good way"...Just wondering what that meant..Thanks!
Most Helpful Guy
I'd say it's bad. I've heard chicks say this before. For some reason, people use "different" as some type of jab.
Think about these two statements, and which would you prefer?
"You look different, in a good way."
"You look good."
One of them is a sort of "back-handed" compliment.00|00|0

Richard Gasquet vs. Andy Murray (fourth match, Court Philippe Chatrier): This is Monday's match of the day. It will serve as Murray's reckoning after an odd week sporadic injury concerns that led to a near second-round retirement against Jarkko Nieminen due to back spasms. Murray looked fine two days later, beating Santiago Giraldo in straight sets, and he attributed the positive turnaround to the work of his physio.
Gasquet has looked positively inspired through his first three matches. Could it be? Could Richard Gasquet finally be embracing -- nay, enjoying -- the challenge of playing his home Slam? He's not only shown the beautifully fluid game that saddled him with the "genius" tag at 12 years old, but also the grit that he's never been able to summon on the big stage. He'll come into this match with a ton of confidence, having beaten Murray just a few weeks ago in Rome. Murray had his big coming out party in front of his countrymen in 2008, when he famously rallied from two sets down to beat Gasquet in the fourth round at Wimbledon. The stars seem aligned for Gasquet to return the favor here.
Petra Kvitova vs. Varvara Lepchenko (fifth match, Chatrier): Kvitova went on her first walkabout of the tournament in her last round, dropping a set to Nina Bratchikova before recovering well to win in three sets. Lepchenko will need her to go on a more prolonged one if she's to pull off the upset here. It's one thing to pull off upsets of Jelena Jankovic and Francesca Schiavone, two players who are stuck in, arguably, career-ending slumps. It's quite another to pull one over on Kvitova, whose pure power and shot-making ability will put Lepchenko's legs to the test.
Janko Tipsarevic vs. Nicolas Almagro (first, Court Suzanne Lenglen): These two reinvigorated journeymen have never faced each other on tour, a fact that is somewhat surprising given their veteran status. Both men are riding seven-match win streaks, with Almagro winning Nice the week before the French Open and Tipsarevic going undefeated in Dusseldorf. With similar playing styles, I give the slight edge to Almagro for his superior clay court prowess, though Tipsarevic's straight set win over Tomas Berdych in Dusseldorf was mighty impressive.
Juan Monaco vs. Rafael Nadal (fourth match, Lenglen): All the top guys have shown signs of instability except for one: the dude who owns this joint. Nadal has been inscrutable in his first three rounds, giving no signs that even an accomplished and in-form clay-courter like Monaco will bother him.Maria Sharapova vs. Klara Zakapalova (third match, Chatrier):

The project has featured hundreds of poems from established and emerging BC poets. Poems are featured on buses and SkyTrains on cards where riders would usually see commercial advertising.
Poems eligible for the project must be written by BC writers and published in book form by Canadian publishers. Poems are submitted by publishers for consideration in the project in May of each year. The works are selected by a jury comprised of a poet, a representative of TransLink, and an industry professional.
20th anniversary celebration of Poetry in Transit – readings by 20 poets
Poets: Brian Brett, Renee Rodin, Rhonda Batchelor, Rita Wong, Al Purdy (read by Margaret Reynolds), W.H. New, Heidi Greco, Susan McCaslin, Kate Braid, Jen Currin, Maxine Gadd, George McWhirter, Joanne Arnott, Evelyn Lau, Rob Taylor, E.D. Blodgett, George Stanley, Diane Tucker, Kevin Spenst, and Fred Wah

Sirius Halts Production Of Non-Compliant FCC Radios
Sirius Satellite Radio revealed that it has informed some of its manufacturers to stop making radios that do not comply with federal emissions and frequency rules. The move follows a similar action by rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings related to models with FM transmitters, which allow consumers to play the satellite service on a traditional radio.
In a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Thursday, Sirius said the Federal Communications Commission was continuing its review of the products. Sirius believes its radios currently in production comply with applicable FCC rules, and said it did not expect the resolution of these issues to have an adverse impact on its previous financial forecast.

Not many bands can really have the tag "Legendary" applied to them, but Minor Threat deserves it to the highest degree and honor. Flashback to 1981. How many bands truly played at this velocity and honest overwhelming aggression? Perhaps Black Flag on the west coast, but on the east side, Minor Threat to me was possibly the most ahead of its time band around. The first two tracks, "Filler" and "I Don't Want to Hear It" (and if you've only heard the Slayer versions, you need to do some homework, young grasshopper), are complete powerballs of destruction, unlike anything you may have heard before. Though youthful and not necessarily overly skilled at their instruments yet, the members of Minor Threat made up for any deficiencies with the sonic sledgehammer they created. Moreover, these songs stand the test of time like no other. Obviously the effects of Ian MacKaye's "Straight Edge" are still with us. Though he personally may not want to endorse the whole sXe movement, Minor Threat is still going to be associated with it forever. How many other bands have accidentally kickstarted an entire subculture? MacKaye's tirades and angry voice is both raw and timeless. "Out of Step" is another great showcase for the anger that seemingly propelled him to no end. Needless to say this early effort has probably been one of the hugest influences in punk and hardcore in history.

If you don't already own this disc, then I have serious worries about you. Minor Threat existed from 1980 to 1983 and released some of the most influential music ever; moreover, Dischord has been kind enough to help out music fans out there by compiling every single song the band recorded onto one disc so you don't have to search high and low to find all their releases. Best yet, Dischord has a policy of keeping their CD prices low so you can probably get this disc for ten or eleven dollars. In other words, you have no excuse for not owning this. Well, aside from bad taste in music, but in that case we really can't help you, now can we?
The most amazing thing about Minor Threat is simply their age at the time of of the band's existence. Though I don't know their precise ages, these four (well, five, including Steve Hangsen's stint during the Out of Step era) kids were barely into adulthood when they recorded most of this music. Considering the disc goes in chronological order of release, you can hear a lot of growing up going on during the album, particularly in song structure and simply dynamics. The tracks that compose their first self titled release (tracks one through eight) are essentially just a ramrod of pure aggression and anger. But by the time you reach the Out of Step sessions (tracks fifteen through twenty-three), you hear a lot of musical development. Though hardly on par with, say, King Crimson, the latter half of the disc shows the band using guitar interplay, varying song arrangements and of course a more varied vocal approach. (In other words, Ian MacKaye does something besides scream.) To a certain degree some of the band's power is exchanged for a bit of musical maturity. "Filler" and "I Don't Want to Hear It" still pack a more forceful blow to the cranium than much of the Out of Step album. Nevertheless, the three songs that made up the band's final release, Salad Days, are excellent. "Salad Days" is rather ambitious for Minor Threat, including some acoustic guitar (but played rather aggressively) and is a rather high note for the band to go out on.
The band's influence is simply legendary on the punk and hardcore world and even metal has not escaped the band's touch. Ian MacKaye of course has gone on to greater musical heights in Fugazi, while Brian Baker bounced from band to band until landing in Bad Religion in the mid 90s. Complete Discography is a phenomenal document of an early era of extreme music and truly is one of the requirements of any good punk collection.

On to the Rooftop of the World! Experience a high altitude safari like none another. Four of the world's highest mountains straddle its southern border and the average altitude is 4000 meters. One of the most isolated regions in the world, here is your chance to visit this amazing and mysterious country. Not only is it one of the last remaining great wildernesses but it is also the source of Asia's great rivers which supply 47% of the world's population and has the earth's highest ecosystem. We will visit this land of dramatic landscapes and magnificent Buddhist temples by flying into Lhasa from Kathmandu and driving out in Toyota Land Cruisers, crossing the Himalayan Divide via Mount Everest. Lonely Planet says, "For anyone who travels with their eyes open, a visit to Tibet will be a memorable, fascinating but sobering and at times even saddening experience."
Tibet, standing at an average elevation of 16,500ft above sea level, till today, still remains one of the most interesting, mysterious, enchanting, remote and many of the area still underdeveloped. Besides being the highest plateau in the world; its transformation from a warring and aggressive to a peaceful, pious and gentle people by the influence of Buddhism, is very amazing. Its isolation nearly tills the second half of the twentieth century; its diverse climatic and geographical conditions strongly attract people of all types from historians, adventurers, pilgrims and so on.
A trip to Tibet is more of adventurous and spiritual for those believe Tibet as a Power Place. Due to its high altitude, those travellers with a history of heart, lung or anemic problems should consult their doctor before considering a visit.
Overland travel between Kathmandu and Tibet is an incredible journey where you get to see the world¹s highest plateau and the Himalayan Ranges in all its glory before you. The trip becomes more wonderful and amazing as you pass through high winding roads and passes.
It¹s most important that visitors should understand that Tibet was only opened to tourism since the mid eighties and you should be ready for a bit of adventure regarding hotel accommodation and other services specially en-rout.
Taking of photographs is prohibited in sensitive areas like in Check Posts / Army Areas. There is extra charge if you wish to take photographs inside monasteries, sometime monasteries charge for each different section of the same monastery. If you want to take a photograph of an individual please ask him or her first, they usually ask money. Carry plenty of rolls of films and batteries.
Toilet En- Route:
Toilet en-route Zhangmu to Lhasa during drive is problem for ladies, common toilet in Tibet is best not to use, and we advise open air toilet is available. One can go behind the rock or off the road and cover with soil.
Exchange Rate, ATM and Credit Card:
The exchange rate of - US $ 1 = Yuan 8 Cash is normally preferred. Banks in Tibet/China are closed on Saturday and Sunday. So you are kindly requested to carry at least US $ 100 per person to cover you extra expenses like for meals etc. en-route till Lhasa. If its cash dollars even the local people will help you get it exchanged for Chinese Yuan. Major currencies such as US Dollar, Euro, UK sterling can be exchanged at the Bank of China branches at Zhangmu, Shigatse and Lhasa. You can also change money local moneychanger but consult with your guide before you change it to avoid any counterfeit note. There are ATM Machine in Lhasa and Shigatse. Big store, restaurant and hotels accept major credit cards.
Communication from Tibet:
There email and internet centre in Lhasa, Gyantse and Shigatse, it is best to ask your tour guide, it is usually written INTERNET CENTER in their signboard.
220 volt.
Passport Size Photographs:
Please make sure that you carry enough passport size photographs; some extras would help in case it is needed.
Acclimatization & Altitude Sickness:
Due to the very high altitude of Tibet, which is over 12,000 ft, acclimatization is very important. You may be likely to experience some of the minor symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, mild nausea, loss of appetite) until your body adjusts to the elevation. This can take from a few hours to a couple of days depending on the individual. Do not exert yourself and drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids. It is advisable to drink at least 5 litres of water a day.
Immigration Formalities:
Zhangmmu immigration is the main immigration point while entering Tibet via Nepal – Tibet border. You have to go through immigration formalities (our guide assist you) in Nepal side before crossing the friendship bridge, which separate two countries.

|Mental Health Stigma And Discrimination Is Harming Our Next Generation
Tragically, a quarter of young people (26%) have said that the stigma attached to their mental illness has made them want to give up on life[1], according to new statistics released by the mental health anti-stigma programme Time to Change, which is run by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.
Furthermore, 27% of young people with mental health problems under the age of 25 say that the discrimination they face as a result has also made them give up on their life's ambitions[2]. The shocking survey was commissioned by Time to Change as it launches new anti-stigma work aimed at encouraging young people to help tackle the taboo surrounding mental health problems.
Since the programme began in 2007, Time to Change has already seen significant attitude and behaviour change towards mental health problems among adults. Today the pilot project in the West Midlands, which will work with teenagers to help stamp out the discrimination that is damaging young lives and preventing them from fulfilling their true potential, will be launched at an event in Birmingham.
One in ten children and young people will experience a mental health problem[3]. The new research also highlights that much of the stigma that young people face comes from those who you would expect to turn to first at a time of need, including friends (70%), siblings (35%) and parents (57%)[4].
Bryony Bratchell, aged 19 from Weymouth, said: "The stigma that I have experienced because of my mental health problem has really affected my childhood in terms of friendships and relationships and in education and more recently at work. When I was first diagnosed at 14, I was automatically told by healthcare professionals to stop going to school because it was too stressful. At the same time my school also refused to allow me to return there once they knew I had a mental health problem. Then once I left I heard nasty rumours
that people were spreading about me and even comments to my friends about stopping hanging out with me in case I might kill them. This has made it so hard to keep friends and make new ones. Thankfully I have made new friends through Time to Change as people here really understand me."
Activities planned for the West Midlands include a social marketing campaign, an education programme co-delivered by young people with a mental illness and their parents, community events in the region, a grants fund for projects that bring young people with and without mental health problems together and engagement with organisations in the region that work with a youth audience.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "For many young people suffering with mental health problems, discrimination is an additional hurdle for them to overcome. No young person should experience isolation or bullying and feel unable to speak up, or have their ambitions thwarted needlessly.
"Tackling taboos and stigma has the potential to make a significant difference to the wellbeing of young people with mental health problems. I applaud Time to Change's efforts to change attitudes among peers, families and friends, to give youngsters affected a more positive future."
Care Services Minister Paul Burstow said: "Too often young people with mental health problems are treated differently, and even bullied. This can affect their education and self-esteem with knock-on effects for the rest of their life.
"Half of those with lifetime mental health problems experience symptoms by the age of 14. This is why, if young people are to reach their full potential, they must feel able to access the support they need without fear of discrimination."
Sue Baker, Director of Time to Change, said: "This is a national tragedy. With one in ten children experiencing mental health problems, the impact of stigma is robbing too many of their hopes for the future. They are left too afraid to turn to their families, friends and teachers, or to get support.
"However we know, from our existing campaign, that by working together we can improve attitudes. With young people as the driving force behind our new campaign, we will be able to bring these issues out from the dark ages."
To find out more about the Children and Young People campaign please visit www.time-to-change.org.uk
Interviews are available with Bryony Bratchell who will share her experiences of mental health stigma and discrimination, and Time to Change Director Sue Baker. Filming opportunities are also available at the launch event in Birmingham. For more information about locations details and to arrange filming and interview opportunities please contact Hayley Richardson, Senior Media Officer, on 07789 721 966 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
[1] The Time to Change survey was conducted online using SurveyMonkey. The survey was online between 25th May and 8th June 2012 and was completed by a total of 1132 young people in the UK who are under the age of 25 and who have experienced a mental health problem. A link to the survey was distributed widely via TTC Facebook fans, on Twitter and via other charity networks.

Time to Change
Time to Change is England's most ambitious programme to end the stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental health problems. The programme is run by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, and funded by the Department of Health and Comic Relief.
For more information go to www.time-to-change.org.uk
Department of Health
On 2 February 2011 the Department of Health launched No health without mental health, a cross-government mental health outcomes strategy for people of all ages which has the twin aims of keeping people well and improving their mental health and, when people are not well, improving their outcomes through high-quality services.
The strategy is based on six shared objectives, developed with partners from across the mental health sector, and focuses on 'Recovery' and the reduction of stigma and discrimination as overarching themes.
To help deliver the objective to reduce the stigma faced by people with mental health problems, in 2011 the Department agreed to support Time to Change, the anti-stigma campaign run by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness. The Department of Health is providing the campaign with up to £16 million of funding together with a further £4 million from Comic Relief. This funding will help Time to Change continue their work until March 2015.
Comic Relief
Comic Relief is committed to supporting people living with mental health problems. The projects Comic Relief funds ensure people with mental health problems get their voices heard in the decisions that affect their lives and get the help they need to recover. Comic Relief also helps people to promote their rights and reduce the stigma and discrimination they face so that they feel more included in society. The £4 million grant to Time to Change is the second time the charity has awarded Time to Change its largest UK grant and is part of Comic Relief's long standing commitment to this issue.

Production will be limited to 300-500 cars per year and deliveries are expected to start in autumn. Although the V12 engine weighs 100kg more than the standard car's engine thanks to the use of lighter materials the weight gain is kept to a minimum.
Carbon ceramic brakes, lighter forged aluminium wheels, lightweight inner rear quarter panels and optional lightweight seats mean the overall kerb weight is 50kg heavier than its V8 sibling.
There is a six-speed manual 'box using a transaxle configuration to aid weight distribution. The V12 Vantage's final drive ratio has also been modified from 3.909:1 to 3.71:1. This allows the Vantage to take full benefit of the high torque levels delivered by the engine to provide both flexibility at lower engine speeds.
The anti-roll bars are 15% (front) and 75% (rear) stiffer than the standard car. The V12's diamond-turned 19" alloys save a total of 5kg and are clad in wider Pirelli P Zero Corsa Tyres. Aston says the car can generate the highest cornering forces of any of its cars, with up to 1.3g possible.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez said: 'This is the ultimate performance interpretation of the Vantage range, combining our most agile model with our most powerful engine. It represents the definitive driving package; providing spectacular performance to ensure a dynamically thrilling and everyday useable driving experience.
'The V12 Vantage has a unique character, unlike our other cars. This will appeal to different people with different tastes, allowing more people to enjoy the Aston Martin experience.'

Automating Origin
Batch Processing
Recalculation of Results
All Analysis and most data processing dialog boxes in Origin include a Recalculate Recalculate control. This control allows you to tie the output of the operation to the source data such that any changes to the source data can trigger an update of the output. This allows you to analyze multiple datasets by, for instance, serial import of a new data file to replace existing data. This feature is also the basis for creating Analysis Templates. The Analysis Template concept is explained below.
Auto Recalculate
Manual Recalculate
Lock, Recalculate
Three options are available for the Recalculate control:
A left-click on the lock displays a menu that provides multiple options including changing analysis parameters, opening source data sheet, switching to result sheets, and controlling the status of the operation such as switching from manual update to auto update.
Dialog Box Themes
Themes, Dialog Box
Settings in analysis dialogs and most other data processing dialogs can be saved as a Dialog Theme file. Once saved, these Theme files containing your custom settings can be recalled as needed. Multiple theme files can be saved from a dialog, allowing for easy repeat analysis of datasets that may each require different settings.
Last used dialog box settings are automatically saved as a <last used> Theme. Origin also allows you to save your custom settings as the <default> Theme. The default Theme, last used Theme, and any named Theme that you have saved, can all be accessed from the theme fly-out menu that opens from the dialog box. These same Themes are also available from the main menu item associated with the analysis dialog box.
Dialog Themes are managed with the Theme Organizer tool, available from the Tools menu.
Tutorial: Saving and Re-using a Dialog Theme
Templates, Workbook
Templates, Project
The Origin project file can be used as a template for carrying out repetitive graphing and analysis tasks. Create the desired graphs and/or analysis results from data in your workbook(s) and save the project. You then simply replace the workbook data, to automatically update graphs and results. When saving the project, you have the following options:
You can, of course, save the current project with data, but the above two options may prove useful when working with very large datasets as they will reduce project file size.
You can save a workbook as a template for repetitive graphing and/or analysis tasks. The workbook can contain worksheets with data, floating or embedded graphs and notes windows. Embed Graphs, Origin Templates
If the workbook contains analysis operations, the File: Save Workbook as Analysis Template... menu command can be used to save the workbook. All data columns that are used in the analysis operations in the workbook will be cleared before saving. Data that are not associated with analysis operations will not be cleared. Workbooks saved in this manner can be accessed quickly from File: Recent Books on the main menu.
Analysis TemplatesTemplates, Analysis
Tutorial: Creating an Analysis Template
The workbook template can even contain custom report sheets and a summary sheet. Thus, you can create an individual report for each file. The advantage of the workbook-as-template method is that the Batch Processing tool can be used to process multiple files or datasets and create a final summary report for all files that are processed as part of the batch analysis. View the Batch Plotting and Batch Analysis sections of this chapter for examples of using the workbook as a template when handling repetitive tasks.
Batch Plotting
Origin provides several methods for batch plotting of graphs from multiple datasets or files. The following two sections outline how to create multiple graphs from (1) data that is already in worksheets, and (2) multiple data files. In addition to these two procedures, batch plotting can also be performed programmatically using LabTalk script or Origin C.
If you have several workbooks, worksheets or columns with similar data structure as you the data used to plot the graph, you can have Origin clone that graph via Window: Duplicate (Batch Plotting) menu with new data. There are two cases:
Tutorial: Duplicating a graph with data from other books/sheets
If you want to plot graphs from many data files but don't want to import all files to workbooks before plotting, you can import one file, create the desired graph(s) based on that data, then add the graph(s) to your workbook and save the workbook as a template. Using this template you can process multiple files, creating a workbook for each file and its corresponding graph.
Tutorial: Creating graphs from multiple data files
If processing of your data requires some custom import settings, you can save those settings to the data sheet from the Import dialog box (Save to <Sheet>, available from the Dialog Theme menu). Settings thus saved to the sheet will be used for import when batch processing of multiple files using the workbook as a template.
Origin provides several ways to perform batch analysis of multiple files, data columns, or data plots.
Some analysis dialog boxes, for instance Linear Fit and Nonlinear Fit, support analysis of multiple datasets. Report sheets created by these dialog boxes include a summary table listing the parameter values for each dataset and other pertinent results such as goodness-of-fit indicators. The summary table can be copied to an external sheet for further processing.
Tutorial: Fitting Multiple Datasets
In the NLFit report sheet, click on the downward-pointing arrow button next to the table named Summary and select Create Copy as New Sheet. This will create a copy of the table in which all cells are linked to the report. Any updates/changes to the fit will automatically update the values in this copied sheet. This sheet can then be used to plot or to perform secondary analysis on the fit parameters.
GadgetsRegion of Interest (ROI)
Origin includes several gadgets for performing interactive analysis on plotted data. Gadgets perform a range of functions such as selecting a data range of interest, switching from one dataset to another, and setting various preferences specific to the analysis being carried out.
Most gadgets offer an option to perform the analysis on all data plots in the current layer, or all data plots in the graph page. This allows for performing repetitive analysis on multiple datasets using the same settings, and generating a table of results across all datasets.
Region of Interest (ROI)
Tutorial: Using the Integrate Gadget to Integrate Multiple Curves
Analysis Templates
Templates, Analysis
Analysis Reports
Reports, Analysis
The Batch Processing tool allows you to process multiple files or datasets using an Analysis Template. Simply perform the analysis on one of the files, include all desired results and report sheets in one workbook, and save that workbook as an Analysis Template. The tool then uses the Template to process multiple files/datasets. You have the option to retain one workbook for each file/dataset, and additionally, to create a summary table with select analysis parameters and other metadata that you have pre-configured in your analysis template.
Tutorial: Batch Analysis of Multiple Files using an Analysis Template
Saving the initial workbook as an Analysis Template is optional. You can simply save the Origin project (.opj) and next time replace the data in your workbook to update all results and graphs. The Batch Processing tool also has an option to repeatedly import files into the active window, allowing you to simply re-use an existing book within a project (which contains all desired analysis and graphs) as an on-the-fly template for the batch analysis.
You can batch generate analysis reports using a custom MS Word template, with the option of outputting a PDF file for each report. For more information, see this tutorial.
For some analysis operations, you can perform the analysis on one dataset or data plot and then repeat the analysis for all other data. This feature is available via a special shortcut menu entry, when you click on the lock associated with the operation. In worksheet columns or reports, clicking the lock will show the menu command Repeat this for All Y columns. Selecting this will repeat the analysis on all other Y columns in the source data sheet. In a graph, clicking the lock will show the menu command Repeat this for All Plots. Selecting this will repeat the analysis for all other data plots in the graph page, even if the plots are in different layers.
This is particularly useful for such analysis dialog boxes as smoothing, or interpolation, etc. that support input of only one dataset. As long as the data are contained in one worksheet or plotted in one graph, the analysis can be repeated on all other datasets.
Tutorial: Smoothing Multiple Columns in a Worksheet
Data Filters for Repetitive TasksRepetitive Tasks, Filters for
Large multi-column datasets can be quickly reduced by applying filter conditions to one or more columns. This Data Filter feature can also be used in conjunction with the colcopy (column copy) X-Function to produce multiple graphs from the same source data using different filtering conditions. The filtered data can also be analyzed, allowing you to compare graphs and analysis results across multiple filter conditions.
Selected columns from the source data sheet can be copied to create child sheets where the filter condition stays synchronized with the parent sheet, or is locked to the child sheet. When the source data sheet is updated, all child sheets, associated graphs and analysis results will automatically update using their respective filter conditions. Additionally, the filter condition of a particular child sheet can be pushed back to the parent sheet at any time.
The image below displays the source workbook with data for several makes of automobiles. Two books were created with a subset of columns and a data filter to restrict the data to a particular make of automobile. Linear regression analysis of the filtered data was performed, allowing comparison of the results across the two filters.
Tutorial: Locking a Filter Condition on Copied Columns
Programming Origin
In addition to the above mentioned methods for automating tasks Automating Origin using the interface, graphing and analysis features can also be accessed programmatically from either the LabTalk scripting language or from Origin C. Access to Graph Themes and templates, and Analysis Templates can be programmed. You can set up some of the procedure manually by first creating the templates using the graphical user interface, and then write your code to call the templates as needed.
You can get a broad look at what programming options are available in Origin by browsing the Programming Chapter of this User Guide. More in-depth programming-related information is linked to from that chapter.
