AH Bella has lived with a jaded perception of love, mainly because she and her family were/are con artists. When her path crosses with Edward, a handsome, rich doctor, the opportunity is too great to pass up, and he becomes her next mark. Along the way she falls in love, quickly changes her plans to be with Edward. But fate has different plans for her, taking her away from her beloved. Edward always knew that there was a mystery surrounding Bella, but it will take one hell of a bachelor party, two marriages, a funeral, a chance encounter, and a lot of mistakes to finally lead him back to Bella and the truth.
Starts with a brief look at the present and then goes to the past to find out what happened.
Told from both Edward and Bella's POV and possible other POV. All cannon eventually.
Excerpt from Chapter 19:
"So… you're alive?" I asked nervously, "I mean what happened we all thought you were dead."
"I know… I'm sorry it was all just a misunderstanding, an accident."
"You accidentally... faked your own death?" I questioned her.
"Wait, that didn't come out right."
Belfast, Northern Ireland and the year is 1972. Bella's worried about her brother and his best friend, Edward, and their dangerous involvement in the Irish Republican Army. Is it really wise to fall in love with a rebel?
When Edward and Bella meet at university they both feel an instant attraction to one another. What is keeping Bella from letting Edward in? Can he help her overcome her dark past and find real happiness with him?
Rated NC17 for eventual lemons. AU, AH, E/B, J/A, R/Em.
Bella's ready to bust out of her shell in college with roomie Alice. She meets the dazzling yet rakish Edward, but is warned of his less than angelic ways. Will B/A be just another notch in the belt for J/E, or will they teach the boys a lesson or two?
What if Bella hadn't moved her junior year with her father. Instead she moved with her mother to Florida. Upon visting her father before leaving for college she encounters two members of the Cullen Family. Alice's vision tells her that Bella would change their lives forever.
Edward's first encounter with Bella is 30,000 feet in the air on the way to Darthmouth. With no means of escape will he be able to resist the temptation of her blood? Or will he bring the whole plane down for a taste?
~Edward's POV: Chapter 2
I closed my eyes to listen to the tones of voices around me. I heard at least one hundred passengers. It would be a massacre. Could I really justify destroying all the lives of everyone on this plane just to taste her blood?
Bella is all kinds of trouble, and Renee and Phil have had enough. They send Bella to live with her dad in Forks hoping he can rein her in. Forks is a punishment that Bella would do just about anything to get out of, including find more trouble, with a Cullen.
When Bella's husband is killed in action, she finds unexpected comfort in his younger brother. Will she be able to overcome the loyalty to her deceased husband when her feelings for his brother begin to mount?
She was standing by the bar looking beautiful. I hadn't seen her in two years. She smiled at me and tried to say hi. I couldn't say anything to her. Memories were racing through my mind, of a time when we were happy...

A thirty-six year old woman, after suffering the tragic loss of her husband months before, takes a much needed vacation to the isle of St. Bart's. There she meets a young twenty-two year old budding actor who teaches her To Love Again.
This is a very cheezy story, because I like cheez! Oh, and romance, too.
One decision can change everything...
Renee never left Charlie, instead choosing to raise Bella in Forks. As a consequence - Bella's life isn't as it should be. In the midst of dating Mike, failing classes and dealing with the breakdown of her parents marriage she barely notices her handsome lab partner, even though he is the key to putting her life back on the right course, as fate intended.
We always want what we can't have, but their love for each other was so much more than just temptation. He was the eager young teacher, Bella's friend and her inspiration in a high school world where she didn't quite fit. She was the bright young woman who took Edward completely by surprise, his saving grace after years of closing himself off from life and love. When their days are turned upside down by their secret relationship, will they find a way to be together?

Well, what happens if she meets the right guy but at the wrong moment? Will this give her another reason to add to her aversion to relationships. Will the right guy help her change or will he make it worse. Watch and you will see the crazy romance adventures of Ms. Isabella Swan.
The winter solstice is the longest night of the year, the night in which the Earth's axial tilt is farthest from the sun. Cultures around the world have celebrated this night as a night of rebirth; but for me, it was symbolic of a death. A premature burial of sorts, the night when I would have to put to rest any longings for the life I had left behind.
The winter solstice, the longest night of the year. When one night is all you have left, even the year's longest and darkest seems to be too short.
Two-shot companion to my story, Broken Dawn. I'd suggest reading it first!

By JOHN LYDON
August is coming up, and once again musicians and music lovers will converge on La Jolla for one of the great local classical music traditions, the La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest.
Christopher Beach, the society's director, said some of the musicians return year after year.
"They know La Jolla very well," he said, "every restaurant and pub in town. You'll see them not only after concerts, you'll see them at lunch. There are probably 80 artists at the festival this year, wandering around town, shopping. We've got one pianist who loves to come because there's a store (here where) she goes shopping for her recital gowns every year."
Violinist and festival music director Cho-Liang "Jimmy" Lin is one of those musicians. Lin, now in his 10th year as SummerFest's music director, says that for him, most of the hard work is done off-season, when he fleshes out the festival's themes, researches ideas, engages artists and plans what will be needed to bring it all off.
By festival time in August, he says, his job is mostly "to play my very best."
When congratulated with the anniversary, Lin said 'Thank you' and turned the conversation to the festival and its music. He's not one to beat his own drum.
But La Jolla Music Society director Christopher Beach is quick to note Lin's contributions.
"Jimmy brings many things to this. Jimmy is a gentleman and a fine, world-class musician. Everyone who plays with him loves him and wants to play with him again. That kind of stature, you don't find in every music director."
Lin's programming took greater note of other milestones this year. This is the 200th anniversary of Schumann's and Chopin's birthdays, and SummerFest is celebrating in style.
Dedication to Schumann
Dedication to Schumann
The festival, which focuses on chamber music, is dedicating three of its 14 concerts throughout August to Schumann, blending familiar works, like the piano quintet and the song cycle Dichterliebe, with lesser-known ones.
"There is another, much shorter set of songs that is very rarely heard. In fact, very few people know of it," Lin said. "It's for mezzo-soprano and harp, the three songs of Lord Byron. That's a rare find!"
As for Chopin, San Diego audiences have already heard much of his music for piano solo this past season. So Lin is casting a spotlight on the composer's little-known chamber music in one concert. A second concert will review music by Liszt, Rossini, Schumann and Mendelssohn, friends and acquaintances of Chopin's.
Evenings with pianists
Evenings with pianists
It isn't all just anniversaries this season. As in earlier years, the festival will have its "An Evening With" concerts, this time with three world-class pianists.
First, Emanuel Ax will perform a Schubert program centering on the Impromptus. Next is the up-and-coming Gabriela Montero— remember her from President Obama's inauguration? — maybe the only concert pianist today who accepts the 19th-century challenge of improvising on themes suggested by the audience. Finally, there's Vladimir Feltsman, a favorite at SummerFest 2008, whose program will include Chopin's four Ballades.
The La Jolla Music Society has long championed contemporary music, and this year is no different. The society commissioned a work from the Chinese composer Bright Sheng, which will be premiered Aug. 8 by the celebrated cellist Lynn Harrell. That concert will also present a new violin sonata by Baroque and Classical music conductor and performer Anthony Newman.
A concert Aug. 20 will feature premieres of new music by composers Brett Dean, Christopher Rouse, and La Jolla's own Chinary Ung.
Sprinkled throughout the festival are concerts exploring various themes. Opening night, Aug. 6, is the String Spectacular, with among other things "one of the most sublime works of Mozart," according to Lin — the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra.
The next night, Newman and others will examine the Age of Enlightenment with music from Bach to Haydn capped off by Baroque favorites in a dazzling arrangement for trumpets, timpani and organ. This concert, incidentally, will be at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, across the street from the festival's main Sherwood Auditorium venue.
Free festival prelude
Free festival prelude
As a prelude to the actual festival, a free concert is scheduled at Ellen Browning Scripps Park at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 4. Aside from the SummerFest musicians who will perform, the San Diego Youth Symphony will play a Vivaldi concerto with Lin, 11-year-old violinist Valerie Kim and the young cellist Eric Han as soloists.
Han is one of seven young musicians selected for the festival's coaching program. These sessions, led by seasoned SummerFest musicians, will be held at Riford Library in La Jolla and are open to the public. The young participants in this training will also perform in SummerFest's pre-concert Prelude series of lectures, interviews and music. Finally, a lighter musical program, champagne, elegant dinner and dancing are planned for Aug. 13 at the Robert Paine Scripps "Seaside" Forum at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The proceeds from this SummerFest Gala will go to the La Jolla Music Society's education, outreach and artistic programs.
Many of the rehearsals, workshops and other events throughout the month are open to the public.
After the lingering chill of this year's June gloom, it sounds like SummerFest will warm things up in La Jolla.
SummerFest Under the Stars
The free concert at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 4 will fill Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove with the sounds of Schumann, Halvorsen, Sarasate, Mendelssohn, Vivaldi and Kabalevsky performed by a wonderful assortment of artists, including SummerFest Music Director Cho-Liang Lin and the San Diego Youth Symphony's International Youth Orchestra.

Feel the stirrings I have set within your heart, you will know without a doubt what you must do.
But some will lack the courage of conviction, and will delay what is presently an urgent appeal.
I came to set a pattern of love in motion for you to follow, ask for what you currently need and I will supply most generously.
When your eyes are on Me, you begin to see the goodness in your brothers and sisters, and not when you are focused on self concerns.
Share among yourselves the good things about each other, some stories about the Saints are very encouraging and a source of growth in virtues can be gained.
Even here and now, the Father has chosen some among you, to glorify Him in extraordinary ways.
But all of you are called to glorify God, not seeking to be anything other than the person you were created to be, but humbly walking with your Lord.
You are constantly being observed by others and I want to sanctify you, that they may be convinced of your Faith in Me and be converted.
Yes, as you act reverently towards each other, no matter the circumstances whether favorable or otherwise, you are being watched.
Your Heavenly family, though they are no longer visible on the earth, remain forever with you to help you to be ready to enter eternity with them.
As My representatives, you concern yourselves with the poor and the ones who need encouragement, seeking also the well being of the sick and infirm.
Those with thankful hearts give great solace to Me, love brings them great rewards now and hereafter.
I have many graces planned for you each day, but you must be ready to ask for and to receive them.
When you make the effort to be with Me, especially in your busy and hectic day, you gain graces even if merely gazing at a Sacred Image or a prayerful thought.
I am lonesome for you, do not be long in your absence from Me, does this seem hard to believe, that the God of the Universe could be waiting impatiently for your time and affection?
Gather together often for love of Me, it is then that the atmosphere is set perfectly for the Holy Spirit, to pour out upon you His ministry gifts.
I long to share with you, that there is so much more to this world of yours, that you should experience in the Spiritual realm, and also that you may utilize the benefits for all to the greater glory of God.

Press release
Government funds pilots to help women find quality part-time jobs
Timewise accreditation scheme will allow 10 local authorities to launch pilots to find jobs for people who need to balance work and family.
A scheme that helps mothers secure high-quality, part-time and flexible jobs is set to get £100,000 of government funding. The Timewise Councils' accreditation scheme is currently helping 6 local authorities create work for men and women who need to balance work and family. The funding will allow 10 additional local authorities to launch pilots in their area.
Timewise will receive a further £75,000 for its Women Returners Scheme, a pilot scheme aimed at encouraging private sector companies to look at how jobs are designed, particularly senior roles, for part-time working, job sharing or flexible working. The scheme will initially work with 5 corporate partners and includes the development of a national register of women returners.
Women are far more likely than men to work part time and on a flexible basis, and much of the part-time work currently available is low skilled and low paid. Evidence suggests many women working in these jobs are 'working below their potential', and are not using their skills as effectively as they could. A history of women working part time is also a significant cause of the gender pay gap.
Minister for Women and Equalities Jo Swinson said:
I am delighted that this scheme is proving successful; I hope that the new schemes offer even more women the opportunity to balance work with their family.
It is vital that we remove the barriers for women to return to work. That is why we have extended the right to request flexible working to all employees, introduced shared parental leave and expanded free childcare.
Timewise launched its accreditation programme in Camden in 2014 and has been working successfully with Stoke-on-Trent, Enfield and Waltham Forest councils, Leicestershire county council, North Dorset district council and Carlisle city council since the beginning of 2015.

I've been dreading this one. My Printers Row Journal overlords — I mean editors — have been asking me to follow up on my recommendations. I did a similar column just over a year ago, and the reviews were mostly positive, but one just never knows when the magic might wear off.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
If I get on a bad string, will Printers Row send me to the minors, forced to write columns for the Penny Saver while I work on my slider?
So I went to email and Twitter asking for feedback and then simultaneously crossed my fingers and ducked my head.
Turns out, I'm still mostly awesome, with just enough failure to keep my head from swelling to the point where I'd have trouble fitting through doorways.
Let's start with the good. For Paul T., back in April I recommended Dan Chaon's "Await Your Reply." Paul declares, "It was right up my alley. I really enjoyed it. I mentioned it to my wife, and she loved it, too."
One stone, two readers; not that I endorse the stoning of readers.
Next, we go to the even better. I recommended Barbara Pym's "Excellent Women" to Trish T. of Myrtle Beach, S.C. She replies, "You introduced me to a new-to-me author, and I fell in love with her characters. She has just enough Jane Austen in her to make her books delightful." She goes on to say that she's read several more of Barbara Pym's books and even introduced Pym to her reading friends.
The Barbara Pym estate can send any gratuity they deem appropriate to me, in care of Printers Row.
The news isn't all good. Zac F. of Minneapolis had written in listing Frederick Exley's "A Fan's Notes" as one of his recent reads. I recommended Brock Clarke's homage, "Exley," but Zac thinks it pales in comparison. In his words, "The text that inspired Clarke's novel is undeniably brilliant," but he says that "Exley" "fell flat."
Diane F. of Chicago, who was clearly a fan of action-filled detective novels that don't spare the wit, was underwhelmed by the first installment of Don Winslow's Boone Daniels series featuring an ex-cop-turned-private eye in the San Diego surfing community, "The Dawn Patrol." The book flat-out "didn't appeal." However, she and I are both eagerly anticipating Carl Hiaasen's newly released "Bad Monkey."
In the case of my recommendation of Francine Prose's "Blue Angel" to Cheryl B. of Chicago, my instincts were so accurate that she reported she'd "already read and enjoyed" it. (I've offered a do-over via email.)
For Jim F. of Romeoville, I recommended James Hynes' "Next," a haunting novel with some surprising turns. He calls the novel a "funny, tragic and altogether fascinating read of self discovery." I couldn't say it better myself.
And with one reader, I hit the mark without even knowing the target. Craig B. of Chicago emails to say he'd checked out both "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn and "The Dinner" by Herman Koch after I'd written about them approvingly. He calls "Geek Love" "probably one of the top-five-best works of fiction I have read in the last couple years." "The Dinner" was "another great read."
Before I break my arm patting myself on the back, and thus making it much harder to finish this column, let me be clear that if I really do have a gift, it is having jobs that make reading and thinking about books part of my daily activities. If I am good at recommending books to readers, it is entirely due to the time I spend in their company.
We'll do this again in a year's time.
Biblioracle John Warner is the author of "The Funny Man." Follow him on Twitter @Biblioracle.
The Biblioracle offers his recommendations
1. "Clever Gretel" by Jennifer Dotson
2. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig
3. "Garbage: A Poem" by A.R. Ammons
4. "Swan Peak" by James Lee Burke
5. "Bad Habits" by Jenny McCarthy
— Donna P., Chicago
Boy, this is a bit of a stumper. Not a great way to start my fresh year of predictions. Do I go with poetry? Something to complement James Lee Burke's Robicheaux series? My guess is that Donna P. has read more deeply and widely in poetry than I have, so I'm going to go with fiction that has a philosophical bent, Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer."
1. "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by William M. Miller Jr.
2. "1861: The Civil War Awakening" by Adam Goodheart
3. "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz
4. "Started Early, Took My Dog" by Kate Atkinson
5. "Live Wire" by Harlan Coben
— Donna D., St. Louis
Another interesting mix. I'm going to tap into the classic sci-fi vein and recommend Marge Piercy's "Woman on the Edge of Time," a book I read many years ago in college that has managed to stick with me.
1. "Lost in Translation" by Nicole Mones
2. "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese
3. "The Woman who Walked Into Doors" by Roddy Doyle
4. "Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout" by Lauren Redniss
5. "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" by Mohsin Hamid
— Deb. C., Western Springs
For Deb I'm recommending Nami Mun's powerful and propulsive novel in stories, "Miles from Nowhere."

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.com) – It's not Friday night just yet, but football season is back.
Thursday night parents and students were excited to cheer on Carter Riverside versus Pinkson at Farrington Field in Fort Worth.
The smell of popcorn and cheesy nachos filled the stands as football fans watched their first game of the season.
Some admitted they were a little concerned about West Nile and being out at a time everyone is told to stay indoors.
Kick-off was at 7 p.m.
Rebekah Lara came to the game with her one year old daughter, "I worry more about her than myself… I always spray her. Other than this, we haven't been out at night at all."
As concerns over West Nile loomed over the stadium on the scoreboard Fort Worth ISD's message was played a few times during the game.
The new Public Service Announcement tackles the four Ds in 30 seconds:
Dress in long sleeves and pants when outside
Use an insect repellent that contains Deet
Stay indoors at dusk and dawn
Drain standing water around your house
"I'm wearing dark clothes and jeans protecting myself," said Stewart Frazier at the game with his family. "We also use spray when we can."
The district says mosquito traps were set at all their athletic fields and – so far – there have been no positive tests for West Nile.
"I'm worried about it now, but I wasn't before," said student Angelica Gurment "I need to do a better job of using the bug spray."
Fort Worth ISD is now also allowing students to bring mosquito repellent to class with them and use it when needed.
The school board made that call earlier in the week.

Oddly enough, it wasn't until I woke up this morning that I realized this past month has summed up the last nine months that I've spent in South Africa. Not sure how it popped in my head, but I had the epiphany nonetheless and I suppose the subconscious works in mysterious ways.
The majority of my June has been spent writing a document explaining all of the work that I've done in South Africa in regards to the Food Security program at my organization. In that time I've written down everything as I see it as well as suggestions that I would see fit if I were to continue to implement the projects. As I wrote this report I was able to see what worked and what didn't, but more than anything it allowed me to step back a little and gain a better understanding of what I've been doing. What the report really helps with is to gain a better understanding of my work in International Development and points to consider in the future.
Subsistence vs. Salaried – That's what makes all the difference in the world when working in agriculture. Granted there are a myriad of factors when comparing my work in Madagascar to South Africa (culture, crops, language, climate, resources, economy, etc.), but at the end of the day it all comes down to what you make and why you work. I've struggled with my work here and I've struggled with worker motivation. The political history and the income inequality in this country don't exactly motivate those in the lower economic realms, but I had to think that there was something else to blame, something else at heart that was holding workers back from reaching their full potential. In Madagascar I did a lot of rice farming and as rice is the staple crop, households depend heavily on rice yields so that they can eat for six months. SO when you bring in the Peace Corps volunteer teaching improved rice farming methods the household is not only taking a huge gamble on the volunteer, but gambling on themselves. If the rice doesn't produce then the household doesn't eat or won't eat. Forget looking foolish, you just need to survive. Depending on land owned they might not have any plan B and nobody wants to borrow rice or money, let alone be cooking green bananas and rationing out cassava leaves for consumption until the next harvest. Rice is life and everything they depend on. They were willing to work hard and take ownership for the work because if it failed it would be much more than a blow to their ego. Motivation was there because they depended on the success of the work as much as the work depended on them.
Conversely, here, people are paid each month. Whether they do well or they don't they get their paycheck and life goes on. If the yields are good, they get a pat on the back, maybe some extra sales so some extra pocket money. If yields are poor, maybe pests attack, or theft, then maybe they are reprimanded, but they still get paid the same at the end of the month. There's no reason to be motivated because the outcome of their work doesn't change their circumstances. What's more alarming is there appears no space for growth. They can't necessarily climb up the management ladder or empower themselves in any way. If they owned land they could farm, but owning land is difficult and managing a farm and working, as a laborer would be near impossible. They don't want to try harder because trying harder doesn't do anything but make them tired and remind them that what they are doing hour by hour and day by day has no affect on what happens at the end of the month. Why kill yourself?
The Plan – I'm crazy and I've finally come to terms with that. I think when you grow up you like to think that you are normal and that everyone is like you. Then as you get older you start to realize that you're kind of weird and not everyone's brain works the same way as yours. Then you maybe get a job in International Development and think that it's a cultural thing, but then realize most people from your home nation are just as bad and useless when it comes to making a plan and keeping times. And you wonder how the world works at all. Then you finish eating your peanut butter sandwich…this may or may not have happened.
But seriously, I don't know why people don't plan, but both Madagascar and South Africa showed resistance and I can't help but wonder if this is why they are still receiving assistance. Not sure if making a plan is overwhelming or just neglected, but it just doesn't make sense to some people. Just like running around frantically at the last moment makes no sense to me. But whether it is in Southern Africa or in the U.S. I think I'll always want people to make a plan (or at least a better plan) and unfortunately for them I'll most likely think that their plan sucks. But hey, you can't have it all.
Regulations – Corruption. It's pretty much everywhere, just depends on how savvy you are at hiding it or what resources are involved. I have to say that both Madagascar and South Africa have their fair share of corruption and there's no way to compare the two only because the corruption is different and/or was experienced under different circumstances. However, I must note that corruption has helped me out in the past and although I'd give it a different name, bending the rules can help from time to time. It's weird to think that corruption can be used for good, but I think that it's true under some circumstances.
However, in South Africa they love their bureaucracy and I don't think I'll ever get quite used to all of the hoops, regulations, and customs that one has to jump through just to have the simplest of tasks completed. Definitely slows things down quite a bit and to say that it frustrates me is an understatement. I often feel as if the rules are in place to make everyone less productive. Makes me a little worried to ever get a job with the Government, but I guess as long as you're at the top then you don't have to do too much jumping.
As far as safety goes – in Madagascar I wore sandals (or no shoes), basketball shorts and a t-shirt while working outside. In South Africa – work boots, pants and work jacket. If you know anything about me then you'll know which I prefer.
Need – In South Africa more than Madagascar, I've had people bring up the idea that I'm here to "Save Africa." I always find this statement amusing because I never once say it, nor do I allude to it, and so I don't quite understand how it could be my sentiment but rather their own. I know there is a lot of garbage in the media and a misinformed public, but what it comes down to is that many South Africans aren't aware of what's happening in their country and know very little about the aims of community development. Moreover, those who can benefit from the assistance sometimes resist because of their pride. Which, I guess makes sense, and is just another reason to quit funding them and find someone else who is okay with improving their knowledge, health, and economic circumstances. What really confuses them is how someone could do all of this without making buckets of money or exploiting someone for personal gain. I can't possibly be doing this work because I enjoy it?!
Furthermore, in South Africa there's this disconnect from knowledge and experience and more of a focus on titles and certificates. A volunteer, as I feel I'm perceived, is a person who hasn't completed school and hasn't qualified for a job – free labor trying to learn something. The whole idea of having skills and providing those skills is completely lost, at least in my experiences. However, in Madagascar, the people were much more willing to receive help from an outsider, regardless of his degree or placement, more willing to listen, to help, and to be helped.
But whether I'm accepted, not wanted, or disregarded, whether I'm saving or exploiting, the need is there and it's why the job exists. When I look over the report I realized that I've been doing something for the past 9 months. It's kind of cool to see all the projects and what they're doing and the potential that these projects have to help the community. I wrote a negative blog post back in November asking whether I thought it would all is worth it and I think the answer is and will always be yes. The gratification that I get from my work in South Africa pales in comparison to the work gratification from Madagascar. Not only did I feel more useful, but also I felt more wanted, more appreciated. Working in development provides a lot of lows, and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. However, there's always a silver lining, always something that gives me a smile and makes me think – ok this was good. The moment might be brief, but it keeps me trucking along and it reminds me that there is meaning in the struggle.
In this line of work nobody saves anyone and I think that that mentality not only continues to misinform the West, but also builds resistance within those that the projects are trying to help. You can't have it all, and unfortunately, Globalization is well…global. As nations develop others either fall farther behind or slowly creep closer to the front. I don't anticipate International Development stopping in my lifetime, but I can hope that if enough people do it right it won't be so long until the entire field needs a transformation because it is no longer applicable. If you were to ask me what I've done as a volunteer, either in South Africa or Madagascar, I'd say that I'm helping people reach their full potential. It's up to them whether they actually want to do it or not, but the tools and the ideas are there. As for me, I'd like to think that the work is simply the paycheck at the end of the month and that I can disconnect regardless of project/personal successes or failures. Instead, I'll forever be the subsistence farmer.

The VersaCAMM VS brings the last 20 years of innovation and expertise to one device, including integrated printing and contour cutting capabilities, next generation print head technology and accelerated print speeds. Available in three sizes and three ink configurations, the VS is also capable of printing white text, graphics and floods and hundreds of brilliant metallic colors for premium graphics and wraps. Priced affordably, the VersaCAMM VS is both an exceptional value and a uniquely versatile production tool.
The VersaCAMM VS produces gold, silver and other metallic effects on demand. Unlike offset and flexo presses, the VS has no plates to process, making production easy, seamless and cost effective.
Featuring Metallic Silver ECO-SOL MAX ink, the VS allows professionals to take full advantage of Roland's advanced inkjet technology. The Roland Metallic Color library has over 512 metallic combinations for endless color customization, and the new Metallic Texture Library adds 26 unique texture fills, adding value and sophistication to any graphic or marketing message. Metallic Silver ECO-SOL MAX ink has been recognized as a DPI Product of the Year, an accolade that reflects its exceptional image quality.
To prevent the pigments in metallic silver and white inks from settling, the VersaCAMM VS comes with Roland's unique, patent-pending automated ink circulation system. The system automatically reduces waste of white and metallic silver ink for dramatically lower running costs. The system ensures exceptional image quality throughout the longest production runs.
Choose from Blended and Layered print modes to optimize metallic images. Blended mode prints CMYKLcLm and Metallic Silver ink together for more natural metallic colors. Layered mode prints Metallic Silver first, followed by CMYKLcLm in one pass, adding richness to metallic effects.
VersaWorks RIP software has been developed exclusively for Roland inkjet printers and printer/cutters. This true Adobe PostScript 3 RIP ensures exceptional production output with unmatched ease of use and incorporates the latest Adobe CPSI 3019 engine.
VersaWorks supports the Roland Color system which accurately reproduces spot colors from color charts and swatch books including more than 1,000 standard colors and 512 metallic colors.
With VersaWorks, you can choose from print options including a high-speed mode for production banner printing and the MAX Impact preset for vivid outdoor graphics. In addition, VersaWorks features Variable Data Printing and supports up to four Roland devices simultaneously including printers, printer/cutters and cutters. It automatically estimates the ink usage and print time for each graphic so you can accurately monitor time and costs.
VersaWorks features include embedded ICC profile support, ink level adjustment tools, error diffusion for outstanding print quality and advanced cropping, tiling and nesting options. Support for Roland cutters allows you to pair a Roland cutter with any Roland wide-format printer for print/cut applications. The PerfCut function produces precision perforated cut lines. VersaWorks is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP.
The VersaCAMM VS streamlines the production process by automatically contour cutting printed graphics. By eliminating the need to reload and reposition graphics, this integrated printer/cutter saves valuable time and effort.
For laminating graphics, simply remove prints, laminate and reload them for precision cutting. The Quadralign four-point optical registration system automatically realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew and distortion. The VS also functions as stand-alone vinyl cutter.
ECO-SOL MAX is a remarkable innovation in ink technology, offering fast drying time, high density, wide color gamut, rugged scratch resistance, low cost per square foot, and broad coated and uncoated media support. In addition, ECO-SOL MAX is virtually odorless. ECO-SOL MAX comes in CMYK+Lc+Lm+Mt+W ink available in 440 and 220ml cartridges (Metallic Silver and White 220 only). ECO-SOL MAX graphics are water and UV resistant up to 3 years outdoors* for CMYK graphics, up to 1 year outdoors for White ink and 1-3 years outdoors for Metallic Silver ink.
* Outdoor durability is based on accelerated weather tests. Results may vary depending upon location and application. Dry times vary depending on specific media characteristics. Lamination may be required for some applications or environmental conditions.
Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology, developed by Roland software engineers, represents the pinnacle of inkjet printing. This patent-pending system precisely controls dot placement between passes and delivers unprecedented imaging performance in all resolutions. The technology actually enhances image quality at higher print speeds thereby increasing productivity. As a result, the VS produces smooth gradations and flawless solid colors while achieving faster throughput with virtually no banding in all print modes.
The VS series incorporates the latest in variable droplet inkjet printing technology. The new 8-channel Piezo inkjet print head contains 180 nozzles per channel in a gold-plated housing to cut down on static electricity build up which can clog print nozzles. Nozzles are perfectly round for precision-formed droplets. With seven different droplet sizes available, the VS can achieve remarkably smooth gradations and richer density for photographic and high-resolution vector output. A new head protection plate and recessed print head prevent head strikes from rippling media.
The VersaCAMM VS achieves print speeds of up to 248.6 sqft./hr. for CMYK applications (VS-640). Its unique design as a combination printer/cutter further expedites the production cycle, allowing you to print and contour cut your designs together – even unattended – in one easy step.
A true production printer, the VS features an advanced media handling system allowing users to feed rolls up to 88 lbs for the VS-640, 66 for the 540 and 55 for the 420. Upgraded media flanges and seven pinch rollers secure the heaviest media in place for accurate feeding and tracking through long production runs. Adjustable print heads enable you to accommodate variable media thicknesses.
Roland printers are designed to dry prints quickly even in high-speed modes for immediate finishing, installation or collection by the take-up system. The VS features a built-in 2-stage integrated heater system to accommodate a wide range of media options. This advanced system precisely controls the proper amount of heat for each application, yielding outstanding results every time. For maximum convenience, users can store individual settings right in the printer.
Equipped with Roland's own 100 BASE-TX/10 BASE-T interface, the VS connects seamlessly to office networks without additional software, achieving an increased data transmission rate of 100 Mb/sec. This makes it easy to configure a highly efficient printing environment.
ECO-SOL Media is developed especially for Roland ECO-SOL MAX ink and includes a wide selection of competitively priced, uncoated adhesive-backed vinyls and other popular substrates. The line-up currently consists of glossy, matte, clear and translucent calendered, premium cast vinyl, premium reflective vinyl, view-through vinyl, flame retardant scrim banner, blockout scrim banner and solvent glossy paper. All Roland media is carefully tested and profiled to consistently achieve high-quality results.
Roland OnSupport online production monitor enables remote tracking of production so you can get a text or email when ink is low or a job is finished. Roland OnSupport users can also quickly download firmware updates and important product information.
A new, patent-pending wiper system is designed to decrease wear and tear on the print head and prolong its life by reducing ink buildup. The VS includes a combination of standard wipers and additional side wipers which reduce the maintenance issues caused by ink reservoirs and dust. As a result, fewer manual cleanings are required.
As with all Roland inkjets, the VersaCAMM VS offers years of reliable service, even in the most demanding shop environments. Each one is built with solid construction and enhancements for precise media control. VS printer/cutters also feature print head maintenance systems for unmatched mechanical reliability.
There's no question that Roland inkjets combine unbeatable performance with legendary Roland reliability. As further proof of their unmatched reliability, Roland is pleased to offer an unprecedented Two-Year Trouble-Free Warranty for all AdvancedJET, Hi-Fi Express, Hi-Fi JET, SOLJET, VersaArt, VersaUV and VersaCAMM VS and VP models.

all kinds of free goodies over here.
Fan Sites
Brick clubs from all around the world show amazing ingenuity and
astounding constructions in the course of playing BrikWars, and
the resulting websites are often nothing short of phenomenal.

Lithium Deficiency in Parkinson's Disease
Mischley, Laurie K.
MetadataShow full item record
It is undisputed in the literature that lithium is essential to human health, but a lithium deficiency syndrome has yet to be defined. Lithium deficiency has been associated with learning disorders, violent crime, impulse controls disorders, Prader-Willi syndrome, and depressed mood in humans. Physiologically, the high ionic potential of lithium causes antagonism with other minerals, e.g. displacement of magnesium, competition with calcium. Lithium is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant at higher doses, although the mechanisms and dose ranges have yet to be elucidated. A substantial body of literature supports the role of lithium in neuroprotection, neurorepair, and neurogenesis throughout the lifespan. Given the purported roles of lithium in the function of the CNS, it was hypothesized that lithium deficiency would be unusually prevalent in patients with neurological disorders. This thesis reviews the roles of lithium in the CNS, reports the frequency of lithium deficiency in patients with Parkinson's disease, and summarizes the state of evidence that lithium is an essential element for neurological health.

My dear four legged friend passed away February 26th 2014.
Sudden Pet Death is so very sad.
Louis had a blockage in his small intestine, surgery was preformed and the vet removed a berry, smelly and rotten but clearly a Mulberry from our tree.
A section of the small intestine had to be removed so I am guessing this berry had been there a long time. Mulberries cover my garden in the summer months.
The following morning Louis had a heart attack and could not be saved.
Every day I miss his smiling face and the happiness he shared. He was always so happy, his tail always wagging.
I wonder… Did the berry pass his stomach to the small intestine and lodge there rotting for months or did is seed get lodged and the berry grew?
Either way the tree is coming down and something without Berries will be planted.
You don't realize how much the passing of a pet effects the pets that are left behind. Charlie has acted strange and for days carried his toys from one place to another constantly moving them.

Canon EOS 60D
Canon EOS 60D SLR camera :
High-quality digital capture and skillful post-processing go hand-in-hand for superior end results, and more control over in-camera image processing means less time editing and more time shooting. At the same time, the overwhelming popularity of Full HD video recording with other current EOS Digital SLRs has led to customer requests for more advanced features such as manual audio level control and flexible LCD screens. Canon delivers all of these features and more with the new Canon EOS 60D Digital SLR Camera. For the first time on an EOS camera, the Canon EOS 60D DSLR boasts a three-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD screen, EOS Full HD video recording with manual overrides including audio level control.
Canon EOS 60D for advanced amateur photographers
Designed primarily for advanced amateurs, the Canon EOS 60D replaces the Canon EOS 50D and boasts a broad array of new features that make it easier for photographers to add personal creativity to their images. Whether it's capturing an overhead shot on the Vari-Angle screen at a graduation ceremony, or converting a color image to black and white for a nostalgic look, Canon is delivering in-camera features and functions that empower advanced photographers to capture, display and print the images they want.
Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera offers HD video
"The Canon EOS 60D has been designed to offer the image-capture and the Full HD video features customers are looking for as they continue to expand their photographic skills. The exciting new features of the Canon EOS 60D make using a DSLR camera more attractive and easier than ever before. We want everyone to experience the great image quality a Canon DSLR can offer with features and functions that they will appreciate and use," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon USA.
Canon EOS 60D features a 3" LCD screen
For the first time in the history of the Canon EOS System, the new Canon 60D camera features a large Vari-Angle 3-inch Clear View LCD screen with 1,040,000 dot/VGA resolution plus anti-reflective and smudge-resistant coatings for bright clear viewing from any angle. The new LCD screen is ideal for composing low-angle or overhead shots whether capturing still images or Full HD video clips.
Multi-Control Dial on the Canon EOS 60D
Another first for the EOS system is the Canon EOS 60D camera's new Multi-Control Dial, which places a Multi-Controller and Set button inside the Quick Control Dial. This new control layout streamlines camera navigation for vertical as well as horizontal shooting and enables a cleaner camera design. Responding to customer requests, the Canon EOS 60D also features a locking mode dial, which makes camera operation more secure by preventing inadvertent changes to the photographer's selected shooting mode.
Canon 60D offers in-camera processing of RAW image files
While the photography mantra of "get it right in the camera" still stands true, Canon's new EOS 60D gives advanced photographers an edge with new in-camera features that enable users to enhance their images without a computer even after they have been shot. For the first time ever in an EOS camera, the Canon EOS 60D features in-camera processing of RAW image files, new reduced resolution image copies, and post-processing creative image filters for exceptional flexibility in digital image rendering.
Canon EOS 60D SLR camera editing tools
In-camera RAW image processing features include Picture Style, White Balance (WB), Color Space, High-ISO Noise Reduction, Peripheral Illumination Correction, linear distortion correction and chromatic aberration correction. These powerful in-camera editing tools will allow photographers in the field to produce optimized images on the spot and generate JPEG files at various resolution and compression settings for immediate sharing, without affecting the original RAW data.
Canon EOS 60D image resizing function
Another great new feature for photographers-on-the-go is Canon's new image resizing function. After capturing full resolution or smaller JPEG images, the camera can generate lower-resolution copies using menu commands. New lower-resolution settings include 1920 x 1280 for optimal display on HD televisions, or 720 x 480, ideal for immediate uploading to social networking and other photo sharing web sites. The original high resolution files remain unaffected by the image resizing function.
Canon EOS 60D creative image filters
Available for the first time in an EOS camera are Canon's new creative image filters. Familiar to Canon PowerShot users, these fun photo effects help make a great image more dynamic, even after it has been shot. Canon provides four artistic filters that allow photographers to capture an image and then create and manipulate a digital copy of it.
• The Soft Focus effect filter helps dramatize an image and smooth over shiny reflections.
• The Grainy Black and White filter can give a different nostalgic perspective to any shot.
• Canon's "Toy Camera" filter deliberately adds vignetting and color shift for a creative option when shooting a colorful scene.
• Users can also make a scene appear like a small-scale model, simulating the look from a tilt-shift lens, with Canon's Miniature Effect filter, great when shooting from a high vantage point.
• Each of these filters can be applied to a captured still image in-camera to create a second "filtered" JPEG version, leaving the original RAW or JPEG file unaffected.
Canon EOS 60D Live View function
Another addition to the camera's Live View function is Canon's new Aspect Ratio feature whereby the Live View screen can display cropping lines for 1:1, 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios in addition to the standard 3:2 ratio. These cropping lines make it easier to compose images in Live View, and they can help to expedite printing when using Canon's supplied Digital Photo Professional software. Custom aspect ratios are also applied to JPEG images whether captured directly in-camera or created with the Canon EOS 60D's in-camera RAW image processing function.
Capture HD videos with the Canon 60D
In addition to its new still capture capabilities, the Canon EOS 60D features Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution with selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p. Native 24p recording helps videographers achieve a more cinema-style look for their footage without the need for post-processing. The EOS 60D builds upon the great video capabilities Canon has introduced in recent DSLR cameras and packs them into a camera photo enthusiasts will love. Full HD video capture, along with selectable cinematic frame rates for both NTSC (National Television System Committee) and PAL (Phase Altering Line) standards, will help the Canon EOS 60D to be the camera of choice among film students and photography students alike.
Canon EOS 60D movie mode
The new Canon EOS 60D camera's movie mode also includes manual controls for exposure as well as manual audio levels in 64 steps, much like the latest firmware update for the EOS 5D Mark II HD-SLR. Users can set audio levels on the rear menu screen before shooting begins; once recording is initialized, audio adjustments are not possible. In addition, Canon has added an electronic Wind Filter to the audio controls within the movie shooting menu.
Canon 60D includes a movie editing feature
Canon has also included an in-camera movie editing feature, allowing users to shorten a video file by clipping segments from the beginning or the end, removing unwanted portions without outside software. This feature can dramatically accelerate workflow by reducing the time needed to upload video clips to a computer for further editing and assembly. The Canon EOS 60D also includes Canon's Movie Crop mode, which allows users to achieve 7x magnification when shooting SD video. Unlike the digital zoom feature found in many compact digital cameras, Canon's Movie Crop mode crops the image directly from the CMOS sensor at full SD resolution to preserve image quality and still provide additional telephoto power.
Canon EOS 60D lens compatibility
Providing access to the right lens for any given shooting scenario, the Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF and EF-S lenses. The Canon EOS 60D DSLR's video functions are supported by two key proprietary Canon technologies, a DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor and a large APS-C-sized CMOS sensor capturing fine detail and color with an amazing cinematic depth of field. The Canon EOS 60D allows for three video recording modes - Full HD and HD in a 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition (SD) in a 4:3 aspect ratio, all at selectable frame rates. The Canon EOS 60D Digital SLR camera will record Full HD at 1920 x 1080 pixels in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); 720p HD recording at 50p or 60p (59.94) and SD video at frame rates of 50p or 60p (59.94). The EOS 60D features a dedicated button to initiate live view for both video and still shooting. Once engaged, the same dedicated button will start and stop video recording.
18 megapixel Canon EOS 60D DSLR
Along with the adjustable LCD screen, the new Canon EOS 60D DSLR features a class-leading 18-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, a proprietary DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor, a 9-point Autofocus system and Canon's exclusive iFCL Metering System (Intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) giving it the power of a professional-level camera. Capable of capturing fast action, the 60D DSLR can shoot full resolution still images up to 5.3-frames per second (fps). The Canon 60D records its images and video clips to the photographer's choice of SD, SDHC or new extended capacity SDXC memory cards.
Canon EOS 60D AF system
The 9-point AF system on the new Canon EOS 60D features f/5.6-sensitive cross-type focusing on all nine focusing points. Like the EOS 7D, the center AF point is a hybrid of standard cross-type and special diagonally-shaped "X" cross, with high-precision sensitivity for f/2.8 and larger aperture lenses. Complementing the AF system, Canon's iFCL metering system, identical to that on the EOS 7D and Rebel T2i, takes color information into account and includes a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor that reads both illumination and color for consistent results in all lighting conditions, keeping exposure levels stable from shot to shot, even as the light source changes.
Canon EOS 60D flash
Photographers will enjoy shooting in low light thanks to the Canon EOS 60D DSLR's wide ISO range from 100-6400 (adjustable in 1/3-step increments from ISO 100-6400 and expandable to 12,800) allowing it to capture beautiful images without flash during family milestone events such as wedding ceremonies, while still being equipped with a built-in pop-up flash for shooting the cake cutting ceremony and reception. The EOS 60D's pop-up flash features a built-in Integrated Speedlite Transmitter for control of up to two groups of off-camera EOS Speedlites without the need for an external transmitter, providing an economical solution for multi-flash shoots.
Canon EOS 60D optical viewfinder
Making accurate composition more convenient, the Canon EOS 60D's optical viewfinder provides 96 percent coverage along with Canon's built-in single axis Electronic Level Display, which utilizes the exposure level scale below the picture area to let the photographer know when the camera is level. The Electronic Level Display is also visible on the camera's LCD screen in both Live View and Movie modes. An artificial horizon display illustrates horizontal roll, allowing the photographer to know when the camera is in a fixed level position. The entire camera has been durability-tested to 100,000 exposures making the Canon EOS 60D a reliable as well as a powerful imaging tool.
Canon EOS 60D price & availability
The Canon EOS 60D Digital SLR camera is scheduled to be delivered to U.S. dealers toward the end of September, and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $1,099.00.

Trad Attack (Estonia)
May we introduce you to TRAD.ATTACK! – Sandra, Jalmar and Tõnu – three good friends and well-known Estonian musicians who have been active on that country's folk music scene for 15 years, and after joining forces, have literally turned Estonian folks on its head!
Sandra was surrounded by traditional music all her life, and first picked up the Estonian bagpipe when she was thirteen. Jalmar is a Seto, a small ethnic community in southeastern Estonia that has their own distinctive culture – and king. Setos are particularly well known for their traditional singing; Jalmar's great grandmother was one of the most famous folk singers in Estonia. Tõnu's father is the conductor of a brass orchestra and he was playing brass before he could walk. He took up classical trombone and drums as well, and is one of the most in-demand percussionists in Estonia.
In 2014 these talented folks decided to play together just for fun, to do something different, to not set boundaries, to keep it fresh, surprise themselves. They drew inspiration from old archive recordings of Estonian folk, from the music of today – and from each other. Their first tune, Kooreke, was a hit, people wanted more, Trad.Attack! was born, and they've been delivering ever since. The trio has won tons of

March Shock-and-Awe Savings Review... And the Best Sources for Organic Coupons!Monday, April 13, 2009
As my total savings came to $142.51, and I probably spent 3 hrs on research/organization over the course of the month, I was "paying" myself in savings about a $42.50 an hour. Nice!
The one area that I definitely need to focus on (my boyfriend is agreeing loudly in the background as I type this) is the actual number of times I go to the store each week. Between Publix, Kroger, the Farmer's Market, and any pharmacy expeditions, I spend rather more time "at the store" then he should like. Basically, now is the time for me to ensure that my "hobby" doesn't become my boss... My plan is to brainstorm a weekly meal plan/guide with my boyfriend on Sunday, have a Publix run on Monday (specifically then so as to take advantage of the weekly penny item) and then wait until Saturday to go by Kroger for any good sales there. CVS I can hit up more or less whenever, since there's one right by where I work, and the Farmer's Market will have to fit in wherever there's time and a need for fresh produce... which depending on the success of our garden should hopefully be somewhat less often. I'll be trying this new "savings schedule" for the coming month (Saturday Kroger, Sunday meal-plan, Monday Publix, DONE)... I'll let my boyfriend report back at that point on how successful it is. :P
If you're still establishing coupon habits for yourself and have a penchant for organic products, the two resources that will be your new best friends are Mambo Sprouts and Eating Well. On both sites you can find coupons for lots of great organic and natural products, sometimes even including more mainstream ones like Kashi and Luna. In addition to the printable coupons on their site, several times a year Mambo Sprouts will also send a booklet of coupons straight to your door... and last time, they even included a sample packet of Jasmine Green Tea along with it! Very fun, don't miss out...

wow, that is awesome. I have a $200 per month grocery budget for two of us (that does not include eating out once a week). I've pretty much been doing my shopping solely at Kroger, and even using the coupon sites people recommend I find that Kroger brand items are generally cheaper then other brands with coupons matching them. The best deals are always the weekly specials.ReplyDelete
What do you get at the Farmers market - and do you think that a weekly Farmers Market trip would save me money?
The trick is definitely to combine sales with coupons -- that's what brings the prices down to even less than the store brands. Do you have Publix in TX? They have really great buy-one-get-one free sales, and even if you just buy one of the items it's still half off... combining those with coupons easily makes for 60% off or more.ReplyDelete
Have you ever played with The Grocery Game? If not you should sign up for the Kroger list for your area for a trial month (ooh ooh, and use me as your referral!) -- they'll alert you to which sale prices are "rock bottom" for each item, and tell you where to find coupons for those items too. Kroger sales can be great, but in my area at least Publix usually beats their non-sale prices.
The Farmer's Market I usually use is actually more of an international market, so I can get huge containers of spices for just a dollar or two... also fresh produce is almost always cheaper there. Once my local farmers markets are back in season I'll start shopping more predominately there though probably (for the sustainable aspect).
No Publix in my area.... and I have never tried the Grocery Game. So... if I sign up, do I just list your full name for you to get credit for a referral?ReplyDelete
To use me as a referral you'd just put my (junk) email address in the space they provide -- it's misseliza123 at gmail dot com.ReplyDelete
For the trial you pay $1 for a month of access to all the stores lists available in your area... I blogged about the system here if you want a more coherent explanation lol: http://devastateboredom.blogspot.com/2009/02/thriftie-shortcut-1-grocery-game.html
It would be fun if you did try it! You would have to let me know how it goes. :)

Monotype GmbHAuthor
Erik FaulhaberTrademark
Aeonis is a trademark of Monotype GmbH and may be registered in certain jurisdictions.Copyright
Copyright 2009-2013 Monotype GmbH. All rights reserved.Description
Following Generis, Aeonis is Erik Faulhaber's second large type family. Lapidary inscriptions from Ancient Greece supured Faulhaber on to create this typeface?s basic sans serif forms. This clarity is visible in the simplified form of the typeface's capital A. Further inspiration came from a domed lamp designed in 1952 by Wilhelm Wagonfeld; this went on to inspire the roundness in Aeonis. Faulhaber sees the conflict between antiquity and modernity as a struggle between angular and round forms; Aeonis reconciles these trends. By removing spurs at the stems of the lowercase letters, Aeonis reduces the alphabet to its most basic movements; and in order to further strengthen reading speed, all of the unnecessary horizontal elements lave been left out of the lowercase letters and numbers, too. Aeonis is available in three widths and seven weights. Its open letterforms ensure legibility at small sizes. Aeonis works both in complex text layouts and simple logos. As was the case in the Generis family, all of the numbers, currency symbols, mathematical signs, and punctuation marks in the Aeonis fonts have a coordinated system of widths, ensuring their suitability for tables and financial reports. All of its members of the Aeonis family may easily be used with each other; their design combines a contemporary character with sophisticated typography.License

A 1394 net adapter or network connection is a high-speed serial connection that is used to connect a PC to peripheral devices such as external storage and multimedia devices, such as digital cameras and camcorders. The 1394 or IEEE 1394 is also known as FireWire, it and is used on systems running the Windows XP platform.
On systems using Windows XP, Me or Windows Server 2003, the FireWire can be used to network two systems via a TCP/IP protocol. The advantage of using such a connection rather than an Ethernet is that the FireWire can support speeds of 400 Mbps, and is more useful when transferring large amounts of data.
