Project budget: open
List of Products used: Cat5e, wiremold, B&T surface mount jacks, Hammond Enclosed Rack
Unusual situations or problems that you came across: Older bldg. that had an addition put on without a cable or wire corridor to traverse the two.
Customer was moving into a new office location but the building although renovated was approximately 100 years old. Customer wanted to use existing stations 'as is' but after a couple of tests we found defects. The quote was ball park as the amount of time to create a corridor to bring new wires from the server location to the other side of the bldg had a degree of difficulty. Also the location for the server was an existing closet which required air conditioning. The existing wiring was nothing short of a 'birds nest' located in a furnace room.

Gokarna in Karnataka, just over the border with Goa, first Hindu outpost reachable from South Goa in one easy stage by the spectacular Konkan Railway, a winding line through a thousand kilometres of the Western Ghats, tunnel after tunnel & in between, spectacular views of the coastal regions, travelling down South.
It's worth clicking on this remarkable wall notice, glued with tape to the peeling pink paint of Gokarna Station Hall, reminiscent of a South Indian temple design, secularised for the Transport Devata, whoever he may be. One feels he must be a God as a female deity would have run things better!
Only in India could a railway notice contain exhortatory quotations from (in order), Mahatma Gandhi, the Atharva Veda, Oprah Winfrey, Quintillian, Kant, Thoreau, the Lord Buddha & Ruskin.
Let me bow in respect to the anonymous railway official who composed this poster & let me now add the penguins of the Gokarna Road Railway Station into the mix.
Gokarna is a temple town, one of those ancient scruffy working pilgrimage centres that dot the landscape of Hindu India & come complete with their own myths, their own special castes of Brahmin priestly administrators & their own special look & feel.
Gokarna was isolated, a tiny village/town on the Karnataka coast, until first the metalled road, winding North/South through the Western Ghats, was built; and then only recently the Konkan Rail road has opened more this remote place to the outside world.
I went with a friend down from Patnam, just for two nights; I wanted to see the famous Mahabaleshwar temple & walk some of the three beaches that ring Gokarna, a triptych of golden sands.
Waking up early I walked to the temple area & found that non-Hindus are banned; instead of going in I sat for several hours with an engaging, charming Brahmin, sitting on the platform of his tiny 'religious' shop outside the temple gates.
My Brahmin chatted, we drank tea, I bought several mythological pamphlets. The day rolled into evening.
I strolled down to the beach, only a few hundred metres from the temple area. As the sun set blood red over the sea I watched pilgrim children dancing in the waves, their families sedate in offering flowers & incense & sweets to the sea; pilgrims take a sacred bath in the sea to purify themselves before visiting the famous Mahabaleshwar temple.
Here is an image of the Gokarna Atmalinga; it is said to wax & wane, even to disappear & regrow. Who knows, but it is the most extraordinary lingam & has the famous story of Ganesh & Ravana attached to it, below are several versions of the famous story that most Hindu children will know.
Ganesh & Ravana & the Atmalinga – written for children but very grown-up, a delightful rendering.
Story of Ravana & Aathma Lingam – another good version of the story.
Gokarna – Wikipedia.
Since I never got into the main temple (non-Hindus are banned) it would be great if anyone who has had darshan there could Comment here below or perhaps Contact The Flower Raj if you have any story about this; any experiences on the beaches & in the town would also be welcomed, Jai Shiva Shakti Mahadev!

The Media
Totally Wired
How the Media Shapes Your World and
the Way You Live in It
By Thomas de Zengotita. Bloomsbury. 291 pp. $22.95
The Search for Community in a Technological Age
By Michael Bugeja. Oxford Univ. 226 pp. Paperback, $19.95
"Let your mind alone!" wrote New Yorker humorist James Thurber in a broadside against self-help tomes by psyched-out psychologists and other well-meaning oafs. But the mind is, as the Zen masters say, a drunken monkey -- and does not want to be left alone. In an age of endless e-mails, tidy TiVos, cell phones, Blast-faxes, broadband and satellite channels by the hundreds, being left alone is not an option for many in the overdeveloped world.
That sounds dandy at first. But what's the psychic cost? And when do we pay it? Two new books look, in alternately amazed and mournful ways, at the bill for living with what one calls the Seven Habits of Highly Mediated People. (Washington wonks and wonkettes, beware; the enemy is all around and is, in fact, us.) Both authors are serious chroniclers of a bewildering, ever-new techno-world, at once godlike in its reach and addictive in its pleasures and demands.
Mediated , by Harper's magazine contributing editor Thomas de Zengotita, aims to "zap the Zeitgeist." It's a fine roar of a lecture about how the American mind is shaped by (too much) media -- aphoristic and brilliant in spots, way over, under and around the top in others. The dust jacket blurb by the bombastic Norman Mailer is no accident, comrade.
De Zengotita shows why we viewers are endlessly "flattered" by the way the world is brought to us by our many fiber-optic wires. You live, he writes, in "a world of effects" where you can be "a connoisseur of what moves you." "It's all about the options -- and they are all about you. No limits. You are totally free to choose because it really doesn't matter what you choose." Why? Because we live in a world where instant shifts by remote controls, mouse clicks and Verizon 411 make our own identities fluid.

Monday the 10th happened to be a full moon day falling on the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin .As the moons shone brightly it got another friend with Ghazal King Jagjit Singh bidding farewell to join the music of the celestial beings. A pioneer, Jagjit Singh was the driving force behind the popularization of modern ghazal singing, an honour he shared with his beloved wife Chitra Singh as the duo performed to packed audiences during their heydays back in the 70's and the 80's.
Born in Rajasthan to Amar a government employee and Bachan Kaur , Jagjit's parents had big plans for him so as to become an IAS officer. But their son had other BIG plans as he packed his bags to be trained in classical music for 6 years , with most of his practice (riyaaz) carried out at a local paan shop. Even though he had to struggle to make a mark in the industry a young Jagjit kept the faith going strong. His personal life wasn't away from much turmoil as the couple lost their only son Vivek aged just 21 in a road mishap, following which wife Chitra withdrew herself from any more performances. On September 23rd he was admitted at the Lilavati hospital (Bandra, Mumbai) after suffering a brain hemorrhage and said to be in comma. Doctors declared his condition critical, as he underwent a surgery to remove the clots and later put on a life support system. He breathed his last on Monday 8:10 A.M , saying a final goodbye, aged 70.
Kollywood composers AR Rahman and Harris Jayaraj sent out their condolences to Jagjit's friends and family members. Harris says, "Jagjit Singh was my inspiration for gazals and soothing melodies… I don't know how I am going to take this. May his soul Rest In Peace." "Rest in Peace Jagjit ji…No one can replace your voice and the perfection you had towards your art…" signed off an emotional A.R. Rahman."
Thanks a lot Jagjit Ji your golden voice and words are here to stay forever.
Here is a live concert clip from his most loved tracks "HOSH WAALON KO KHABAR KYAA" ….

Shipping Vehicles: Interesting Fact On How To Do It Effectively
It is said that one of the most common and effective ways of successfully transporting or shipping vehicles and all sorts of automobiles there are form a certain standpoint to a certain endpoint, notwithstanding if it is by sea, by land, by air or probably over a long distance, is by means of an automobile shipping or vehicle shipping. In this modern day and time that we live in, where technology is moving as fast as it can towards advancement, the impossible is now being made possible such as that trucks, boats and even RVs can be shipped regardless of whether it is across the sea, by land or perhaps by air.
One of the most commonly asked questions that many people have during an inquiry is how to successfully ship a vehicle or an automobile. Obviously, when you own a vehicle, one of the vital and essential things that you always guarantee of is the maintenance of your vehicles good condition since this will ensure to have the best possible vehicle for as long as you live. So that you will be able to make sure that your vehicle is in good hands, is in good shape and is in good condition before the shipping and after the shipment, the best thing that you can do is to make sure that you have gone and checked the company and its reputation and also, the availability of the necessary equipments that might be needed in the shipping of the vehicle. Aside from that, another essential thing that you need to consider with regards to this is to make sure that you have checked in the details of all the past transactions made by the company with their previous clients and also, you need to check for any unresolved complaints made by their past clients against them, if there happens to be any.
Of course, no one in their right mind would want to have a vehicle such as a car to look horrible or to look like a trash upon arrival that is why it would be best for you to make sure that the company you will be choosing to perform the shipment process is not just competent enough but also, capable enough to do it properly and accordingly, avoiding any possible altercation in the physical image of the vehicle. If you are going to do something like this, there is no need for you to be worried about the vehicle that you are shipping since you are assured that such a company is worthy of not just your trust but also of the money that you will be paying them.
Shipping your vehicle can really be a daunting and stressful task to perform and at times, you will also feel anxious if you have not thoroughly checked or investigated the shipping company that is why it would be beneficial for you to just weight down the negative as well as the positive aspects of shipping your vehicle via them.

Whole home air filters, or air cleaners, help eliminate up to 99% of bacteria, virus, mold, allergens and smoke in your home. There are several ways to purify the air in your home. Filters are given MERV ratings. The higher the rating, the smaller the micron the filter removes from the air you breathe. Instead of comparing micron sizes and MERV ratings, an easier way to compare the various options is to think about them in terms of fruit. Sounds silly right? But stick with us as we go through the most common options for air filtration below. For a free estimate on whole home air filters and to see what the best options would be for your home or business, please contact us.
Air Comfort Service, Inc provides our clients throughout St. Louis, St. Charles, & Saint Peters, MO the leading-edge technology that creates a healthier, cleaner, and more enjoyable indoor environment. Give us a call at (314) 480-3384, and we'd be happy to explain the many benefits of our indoor air quality products.
Air Scrubber Plus
The Air Scrubber Plus is an all-in-one cleaner that attaches to your heating and cooling system and removes airborne AND surface contaminants from your home. This innovative system effectively targets air quality hazards, reducing air contaminants, chemical odors, dust, pollen, bacteria, cigarette smoke, odors from pets and cooking, and much more. Cleaning, freshening, and purifying, this technology reduces over ninety percent of the pathogens in the air within thirty minutes, making it fifty times more powerful than HVAC filtration.
With quick, non-invasive installation directly above your HVAC unit's air handler, the Air Scrubber Plus is not visible inside the home and covers up to three thousand square feet. Combining germicidal UV light and a proprietary catalytic process that creates enviro scrubbing molecules of oxygen and hydrogen, this advanced technology protects your health, home, and HVAC components. Air ducts, household surfaces, bathrooms, and the entire home is kept cleaner, simply by activating your fan, furnace, or air conditioning system. By trapping dirt, dust, and other pollutants before they penetrate the filters of heating and cooling equipment, the Air Scrubber Plus extends the life of your HVAC system, optimizes efficiency, and combats malfunction.
The Air Scrubber Plus is a cost-effective, proven, and straightforward solution to all manner of concern. With a 99% approval rating, the Air Scrubber Plus delivers results you can trust.
Air Defense System
The Air Comfort Service Air Defense System combines the GPS 2400 and the Totaline 1" Electronic Air Cleaner. The Air Defense System will provide you with cleaner, healthier air for your home than any of our other air purification systems alone.
GPS – 2400 Cold Plasma Air Purifier
The GPS – 2400 is the latest in air purification technology. It's an air purifier that is mounted inside your furnace, air handler, heat pump, or fan coil. The cold plasma produced by the GPS – 2400 travels down your ductwork disinfecting everywhere the air is traveling. The GPS-2400 breaks down or "paralyzes" items such as bacteria, viruses, dust, smoke, etc, and makes them inert so they can be trapped by one of the filtration systems listed below.
Totaline Electrostatic 1" Air Cleaner
The Totaline creates a polarized charge to act like a powerful magnet. The filter, or air screen, needs to be cleaned and/or changed every 3-4 months. To give you some perspective, think of this one as being able to catch a grape, but in a standard 1" filter cabinet.
Carrier Infinity Air Purifier
Carrier's Infinity Air Purifier is similar to Honeywell's, but it can capture and remove much smaller particles from the air. Think of this one as being able to remove items the size of grapes.
Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner
The Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner is a 5-7" media filter. Think of this filter as being able to remove particles the size of lemons from the air in your home. This filter needs to be replaced at least once a year.
4" Media Filter
Most home furnaces come with a standard size filter cabinet. Think of a 4" media filter as being able to eliminate particles the size of a grapefruit from the air in your home. Most of the time, unless you have a 4" media filter installed with a new furnace, these filters require some extra work to install since the filter cabinet is much larger than the standard size. These filters also need to be checked or cleaned frequently so that they don't start to restrict air flow which can damage your heating and cooling system.
Pleated Media Filter
1"-2" pleated furnace filters are very similar to a standard filter. Think of these filters as being able to remove a cantaloupe from the air in your home. These filters start to restrict the air flow in your home after a short period of time, so they need to be checked and cleaned or replaced often. Some of the very high efficient filters, like some of the filters found in "Big Box" stores, actually can cause damage to your heating and cooling system because they restrict too much air flow.
1-2" Filter
Most home furnaces come with a standard 1"-2" filter. Think of these filters as being able to remove a watermelon from the air in your home. These filters need to be checked monthly and replaced as needed, usually every 3 months.

The trailer for the new Halo game, Halo 3: ODST, looks pretty incredible. In fact, it's making some people wonder whether the director for the trailer, Rupert Sanders, shouldn't be given the resources to direct an honest-to-goodness Halo movie. Even people who aren't fans of the video game will want to see more Halo on the big screen. Check it out after the jump.

Ouch! I bet it hurts when your girlfriend smashes her hand in your vagina. Even when you're kind of used to those sexual activities. I know for sure that this hot lesbo couple are fist fanatics, but by the looks on the receiver's pretty face she isn't all that comfortable with that hand in there right now. Her friend, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying herself just fine, judging by the pose she is taking for the camera. Both of them will be smiling when that hand starts doing its work. I'll give away even a bit more: this awesome lesbian fisting scene gets topped with a superb climax. Lean back and enjoy the show.
Looking at the clip above made me think of a pair of female acrobats. You have to admit that those women look pretty flexible, especially the one on her back. And when you look at the picture a little closer (don't be afraid to get near the screen), you see that these bendable babes are doing some lesbian fisting. The one on her back put her hand in inside the blonde chick and blondie replied to that action by putting both of her mittens in her friend's vagina. They both seem to enjoy it and by the looks of their faces they are on the path to a climax.
We're looking at a very pretty dyke today and, as you can see, she is looking back at us. This chick loves the camera just as much as she loves her lesbian fisting. She is spreading her beautiful legs especially for us, so we can fully enjoy her wide open pussy. Pretty dyke doesn't mind us watching, because that's where she gets her kicks. Her lover girlfriend knows that when she puts the camera there and when she gets her hands inside, her girlie will be going to town and it won't take too long for her to get there.
Tags: lesbo fisting, pretty dyke, wide open pussy
What you see there is a couple that's getting ready for their favorite sexual activity: lesbian fisting. I call it lesbian fisting on purpose, since it's a totally different game when two dykes start putting their paws inside each other, as opposed to heterosexuals. Lesbos know what buttons they have to hit to get each other on the move, but they also know that you can't start playing a game without a good preparation. So for starters they get out their vibrator and they end with a big ass artificial cock, like the one you can see in the clip. When she survives that big plastic pipe and her pussy is still intact, she's ready to take on one or maybe even two fists.
Tags: fisting preparation, lesbian fisting, lesbian pussy penetration
The camera roles and the girls are in position to get their act on the go. Maybe you noticed, but these fisting lesbians aren't exactly first timers. They master the art of lesbian fisting completely. I've seen them before in other movies and it's always a pleasure to watch. Nothing is fake and they get orgasms every single time. These lovers aren't afraid to push their internal boundaries with their nasty claws. A little foreplay is always nice, but when a bit of muff diving doesn't have the effect you aimed for, there's always a big tube of lube around the corner to get things on the go.
These two dykes love it all: the sucking, the pussy petting, the nipple nibbling… But the thing they like most is their lesbian fisting. They say nothing beats a big turning hand in your cunt; nothing makes them come so hard, not even a big strap on dildo or a huge battery powered vibrator with double penetration capabilities. They love to fist and they enjoy their stretched snatches and asses. I have to admit it's a very horny view that these two lovers are producing when they get it on. Those fisters will never get dull on me, that's for sure.

For years, the screen goddess has been the veiled woman. But she continues to invade our homes every day on one Bengali channel or another and her face continues to launch a thousand publications and more.
This December, Suchitra Sens fans will have a chance to spend some time with her at Gaganendra Pradarshashala. Well, not quite. They will get to gaze at 60 canvases depicting our very own Greta Garbo through the decades. And pick up a six-page calendar of the screen legend looking her loveliest. The labour of love comes from devotee Anit Mukerjea, grandson of freedom-fighter Surendra Nath Banerjee, with an assurance from Moon Moon Sen that she will be on hand to unveil the portraits of her mother.
The idea was born while I was mourning the death of my mother in 1992. One day, I noticed an old snapshot of Suchitra Sen, picked up a pen and started sketching. A family member saw my work and suggested that I do a series on the actress. That just did it, recounts Anit. A decade later, he is finally ready with 60 portraits of Suchitra Sen.
Anit has been a family friend for years. I dont remember any such exhibition on my mother and will be happy to inaugurate it, says Moon Moon. I would rather support someone coming out with a collection of paintings on my mother than with a book. For, those who know her will never write about her and those who write about her dont know her, adds the actress.
The December display promises to throw up some rare frames of the fantasy woman. Aurora Films, Ranjit Pictures and Chhayabani have lent Anit several never-seen stills from Suchitras films. Ashish Acharya, spokesperson for Chhayabani, said: He (Anit) has been picking up pictures from Harano Sur, Uttar Falguni and Saptapadi. Some of these have never been published before and could lend a different dimension to the exhibition.
Anit, working with watercolour, acrylic, oils and other mediums, concurs: The rare stills have helped me focus on a different line of thought, digressing from the oft-beaten path. Emerging from one painting will be three different facets of the actress. And no ones complaining. The less we see of Suchitra Sen, the more we want to see of Suchitra Sen.

I am now back in Madrid in my hotel room getting ready to go home. It feels like so long ago, I was in Madrid but it was only a week. It has definitely gotten more crowded with the holidays. You can't go anywhere without wall to wall people. Am glad I'm getting out now. Plaza Mayor hotel is okay for a night but I have a room overlook the plaza and it's noisy as hell. Plus there are more and more Americans here now the second language I hear is English.
Was sad to check out of Hotel Amadeus, I spent a little money on a superior double but the Rostropovich suite was superb-off the main hotel in the back and recently remodeled. The bed was so soft which is probably why I overslept and had to pack and shower in a hurry. Checked out and they called a cab for me and I got to Santa Justa with time to spare. So I searched for a breakfast spot and got my cafe con leche, croissant and zumo-which I guess is orange juice?
Train ride was packed-naturally but the AVE was smooth and quiet and I fell asleep until Madrid.Decided to walk to hotel and forgot that hotel was uphill-gasp. But what a beautiful day after a rainy Seville morning. Sunny and warm though the Madrid women still wear their leather jackets tights and boots. Meanwhile I'm in my skirt and bare legs. Shopped at El Cortes Ingles for some souvenirs-bought some tiny olive oil for the folks and a fan for my niece. They say it was made with Spanish wood but I have my doubts it's made in Spain for 12 Euros. But my niece won't know the difference.
After some lunch at San Miguel Market-more crowds and a lunch of paella, olives and sangria(that was the best sangria I've tasted!), I decided to go to the Parque del Oeste and ride the Teleferico-the cable car. Had to take the Metro but the park is beautiful-a bit like Central Park with high-end apartment buildings on each end. Saw some nice vistas of the Palacio Real and walked to the lookout point. I then found the cable car entrance and for 5.50 round trip took my ride. It was a fun way to end my stay-thought people afraid of heights might shy away. As I was the only one in the car, I did wonder at one point how many people they lose in Teleferico accidents each year. As I bob and swayed going over the park, I had a great time filming everything-so much so that when I got off-the attendants all rolled their eyes after I told them it's a great ride. Hey, it doesn't take much to make me happy. After looking around a bit on the other side of the park, I rode the cable car back with great views of the city. If you've done everything else in Madrid and want some place with a little green space I highly recommend doing this. It's pretty fun.
Now I'm going out to dinner and then coming back to go back home early tomorrow morning. I hope this report has been somewhat informative and I've had fun writing for the past two weeks. I will be back tomorrow with my final thoughts-other than I need some more time to go visit places.

Back in Madrid-the end of the road
I am now back in Madrid in my hotel room getting ready to go home. It feels like so long ago, I was in Madrid but it was only a week. It has definitely gotten more crowded with the holidays. You can't go anywhere without wall to wall people. Am glad I'm getting out now. Plaza Mayor hotel is okay for a night but I have a room overlook the plaza and it's noisy as hell. Plus there are more and more Americans here now the second language I hear is English.

A rec for dinner?
Emma + cocina on Plaza de San Miguel 4, close to the Mercado.

Just an update as it seems I can't get out if this country! Had a few tapas and wine last night then walked around Madrid until 11pm. Woke up and checked my flight to LHR and discovered it is delayed because of French air traffic strike. This is getting ridiculous. Don't know whether to laugh or cry especially since this means I'll miss my connecting flight. I have work tomoroow and I wanted to get home at a decent hour. I admit defeat now- I think this is even worse than the Griswalds European adventure. Just get me home.
Report Abuse
These delays can clear up at any moment so I'm hoping for the best. I'd still get myself to the airport at ticketed time.. you never know.
Once a close friend was given contrary info.. that an incoming flight hadn't even LEFT yet from origin.. so she took off for an hour. Low and behold.. it HAD landed and the person she was picking up had been there waiting all that time.
I don't trust online info anymore nor some airport desk people.

Thanks lincs-well everything turned out for the best-British Airways did a fantastic job of getting us to London in just over 2 hours and was able to make my connection with a half hour to spare. Plus they didn't lose my luggage - so cheers to them.
I am home and going straight back to work today but will write up my final thoughts soon. Already I wish I was back on the plane and hearing English all around is still strange.I'll really miss my cafe con leche as we don't really have any good Spanish restaurants around here.
Told my parents last night the best of both worlds would be to live in London and visit all the European countries on hoilday! Perhaps when I win the lottery.
Thanks for all your help lincs-Next time I will visit the northern part of Spain.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A 12-day streak of increases that pushed the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County to its highest amount since Jan. 8, 2016, ended Monday with a decrease of one-tenth of a cent to $3.034.
The average price rose 8.2 cents during the streak, including a half-cent on Sunday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 3.1 cents more than one week ago, 15.1 cents higher than one month ago and 52.6 cents greater than one year ago.
As Black Friday comes to an end, several San Diego neighborhoods are ready to host special shopping events to encourage San Diegans go shop small on Saturday – drawing attention to local businesses.
County officials are urging holiday shoppers to double- check their receipts to protect against overcharging.
Simi Valley was a sleepy Southern California suburb in 1979, one frequently ranked near the top of surveys of America's safest cities — in large part because hundreds of police officers from nearby Los Angeles lived there.
A Navy sailor has been charged with possessing child pornography - including some images that may have been taken at or near his San Diego home.
A big cat enclosure at Lions, Tigers and Bears Animal Sanctuary in Alpine is almost finished. The multi-acre enclosure will be complete next week and will be home to three white lions among other big cats. News 8's photojournalist Colleen Murphy has a sneak peek of the new habitat.
It was another historically hot day in San Diego County, with several places breaking or tying all-time high temperature records.
A predawn blaze scorched two neighboring homes Friday morning in Chula Vista, but occupants in both houses escaped without injuries.
Richard Cordray, the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, resigned Friday and simultaneously named his own successor, setting up the consumer agency for another battle with the Trump White House over control of the powerful federal watchdog.
Retailers worked hard to attract shoppers to stores on Black Friday, offering in-person deals meant to counter the ease of shopping by phone on Amazon. A better economy and colder weather helped, to be sure.
President Donald Trump says he will be calling his Egyptian counterpart "in a short while" to discuss Friday's "tragic terrorist attack, with so much loss of life."

Brush plating was originally conceived in Paris, France in 1938 by Georges Icxi, brush plating has evolved from simple touch-up of tank plated parts to a wide variety of repair and surface enhancement applications. Mr. Icxi was joined by Mr. Daloze and together they created the first commercial brush plating process in 1945. They were granted a French patent for their work in 1948.
Our work is performed by both brush plating and tank plating. Brush plating is more time consuming than tank plating and allows more detailed and intricate plating processes such as selective plating on items such as jewellery and custom scooter panels.
We offer yellow gold plating in 24, 22, 18, 14, 12 and 9 Carat and can match to your existing gold colour between carats if required. We also offer white gold, rose gold, platinum, rhodium, palladium, silver, nickel and chrome plating.
We brush & tank plate for:
- Engineering companies
- Local & multi-national companies
- Yacht owners
- Pubs & clubs
- Restaurants
- Household
- Motor trade
- Motorcycle dealers
- Sporting & golfing clubs
- Trophy & sporting goods retail stores
- Jewellers & Watchmakers
- Kitchen & bathroom suppliers Distributers
- Plumbing retail stores
- General Public
We regularly brush & tank plate:
- Trophies & medals

Or in the eyes of one Five year old lad...NOT! Tiggers are NOT wonderful things. Tiggers get frowns thrown at them. :)
Today we did day five of the terrific tigers unit study. You can buy it from download N go right here. :) OR from the Old Schoolhouse.
We had some fun doing the study today.
We learned about people stripes (finger prints) and we learned about pug marks. And that people have footprints (not pugmarks) and they like tigers, our footprints are different. We put our feet in water and stood on a piece of paper. We learned how they are the same, and how they are different. Just like every tiger's stripes are different, so are every person's finger prints different.
VERY fascinating. We managed two different ways of getting our finger prints. One was by using a fingerprint from one of the child ID places, and the other by taking pencil, rubbing it on some paper, rubbing our finger over the pencil marks and then taking a piece of tape to preserve the pencil rubbing off our fingers. The lad thought this was very cool.
We had a brief look at the Indochinese tiger today. and completely skipped the "tiggers" part of the study. That was just not a good thing. and Silly Odin... putting his head under the water! Doesn't he know that tigers don't like getting their heads wet!
A good study today, though a bit of a challenge at times to keep a lad's focus on continuing the study...MUCH too intriguing to get finger and foot prints. :)
and tiggers are wonderful things....

With our projects, we demonstrate that our society can embrace and structure the plurality of cultures and religions. Our work has a real-world focus and promotes an effective welcoming culture of recognition for immigrants to Germany. Against that backdrop, we are concentrating on two aspects:
- The integration and participation of migrants in Germany in health, education, science, and civil society
- Open and objective discourse about migration in Germany and Europe
Integration and Participation of Migrants
How living together can be achieved in a diverse society is decided in a local context. That is why we support the establishment of institutions and offerings for new target groups and thus the opportunity for all people living in Germany to participate in society. Target groups of our work include administrative, educational, health, and cultural institutions, civic organizations, volunteers, and refugees.
Open and Objective Discourse about Migration
We see ourselves as an independent platform for the qualified discussions between experts and decision-makers. Using practical and fundamental research projects, we expand the knowledge base of the discussions on migration - in particular on the influx of refugees - and develop different courses of action. We support projects that make compromise on collaborative European refugee policies possible. We foster differentiated reporting as well as civic and cultural projects that strengthen an open and cohesive attitude toward migrants. Our target group consists of academics and experts, as well as decision-makers from the worlds of politics, administration, business and civil society, nongovernmental organizations and lobby groups, cultural institutions, civic initiatives, and journalists.

First cold snap of the season hits North Texas
DALLAS - People are bundling up as they head to work and school this morning.
The forecast for Thursday calls for morning temperatures near freezing with wind chills in the 20s. Some light mixed precipitation might fall southwest of Fort Worth, but otherwise it's all about the cold.
That means the schools are all open and students are almost guaranteed to drive their teacher's crazy with oversized jackets and shortened or indoor recess.
Some school districts are taking the opportunity to remind people about their weather policies and explain how decisions are made. Many shared the information on their social media pages Thursday morning.
When it gets this cold, it can also be dangerous for the homeless and those without a working heater. When the temperatures dip, the shelters fill up quickly.
"It's more homeless people out here than you probably realize. Lot of them sleep in woods because they can't get access to some of these facilities, because the facilities house so many people," said Steve Brown, who is homeless in Tarrant County.
The city of Fort Worth said it has a plan in place in case shelters fill up. Cots and blankets were put out at the old police and fire training facility, but so far they haven't been used.
The temperatures are expected to drop below freezing again Thursday and Friday nights, but climb back up over the weekend.

Victor's Dung (The Second Cut)
He's back! Victor Maguire; the quintessential Cavan farmer makes a return in this newly written production by Seamus O'Rourke. The man who brought you Victor's Dung; the highly acclaimed smash hit comedy, has penned yet another beauty for you to enjoy.
This new production by Seamus will get it's first outing at the 2012 Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann in Cavan. So if you want to get the latest news and views from Victor Maguire – you know where to go!
Victor's Dung (The Second Cut)
by Seamus O'Rourke
With Seamus O'Rourke, Tommy Sharkey & Charles McGuinness.
Cavan farmer Victor Maguire has never been too kind to the environment… and even more so now that he is ten years older and ten years grumpier. After a bit of a run in with Joe Duffy on the radio, Victor's sedate life is once again thrown into disarray by a sudden influx of intruders including dog wardens, Guards, scientist, monkeys, ticket sellers and of course God himself… but he's not the worst of them… but then it's hard to tell with God.

Best of luck Seamus, Tommy and Charlie with your new production 'Victor's Dung -The Second Cut'. Can't wait to see it during the Fleadh. Better not say how many times we saw the first one.
Seamus, you have huge talent and we admire you greatly!

Hi folks,
Is it possible to produce a pre-formatted plain text 'layout' for use in conjunction with my HTML layouts?
Having to spend time adjusting it every time I send a campaign is time I feel could be better spent elsewhere, and expecting a client to do this themselves is just plain fantasy in my case (they like the system because they don't need to do this with HTML layouts).
Any ideas?
Hey Robert,
That's a great idea, but unfortunately, it's plain text templates aren't something we have available. I've added your comments to our suggestion tracker so that our developers know that it's something being asked about. If we do go ahead with that in the future, we'll be sure to let you know.

text: I've been looking for a good written comparison of Sprint's HTC Hero vs. the Nexus One. I'm on Sprint and in the market for an Android phone. I'm torn with whether to just get the Hero now, or wait a few months and hope the Nexus One comes to Sprint for a reasonable subsidized price ($150-200) Does anyone know a link to a write-up that compares the highlights of these two phones? I've found a few YouTube videos (that actually seem to indicate the Hero is a bit better in some areas), but few head to head comparison articles. I'm really hoping for a Hero2 (the size of the Hero is perfect for me, just a bit dated), but the EVO is eating up all those rumors with its over-the-top hype. -Vesbon

PAZ, the satellite owned by the Spanish company Hisdesat, will soon increase the monitoring resources of the Airbus radar satellites constellation. Following its launch during the last quarter of 2017, PAZ will be positioned in the same orbit as the German owned TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites and form a high-resolution SAR satellite constellation with them. The addition of this third satellite will reduce revisit time and increase acquisition capacity, leading to subsequent benefits to various applications. All three satellites will feature exactly identical ground swaths and acquisition modes. The new setup will be jointly exploited by Hisdesat and Airbus Defence and Space. Read More

Deleting a file with an odd name

I've just had a similar case (wonder if it came in

Those spaces were in fact binary zeroes not space

The church's leadership consists of:
- Our Minister
- Our Minister Emeritus
- Governing Board
- Shared Ministry Teams
- Committees of the Congregation
- Charitable Trust
OUR MINISTER: Julie Kain
OUR MINISTER EMERITUS: Bob Eddy
THE GOVERNING BOARD: The Board interprets and executes, to the best of its ability, the will of the membership with respect to long-term goals, public policies, facilities, contracts, paid employees, major disbursements, and methods of financing. The board is a group of ten elected members of the congregation. Positions are The President, President Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, Past President and five Members at Large. Elections are held in April of each year. Board positions are for two years except the President, the President-Elect and the Past President who serve a one-year term.
SHARED MINISTRY TEAMS: There are twelve (12) ministry teams. Team Leaders are appointed by the UUCP President. Ministry Teams are the vehicles for the congregation to accomplish our mission both within the congregation and in the larger community that we aim to serve. Since ministry is a shared endeavor that engages members in distinct ways in the work of the congregation, congregations need ministry teams that channel the individual talents and qualities of their members into our common work.
Adult Explorations: This team is responsible for all adult programs, including mid-week activities, discussion groups, and special events intended to educate adults. The programs are designed to increase religious knowledge, foster personal and spiritual growth and well-being, enhance the spirit of community and provide for the exchange of diverse opinions.
Buildings and Grounds Team: This team is responsible for managing the maintenance, repair and general operation of the physical facilities of the church. This includes the aesthetic and operational aspects of both interior and exterior spaces.
Caring: This team is responsible for helping the Minister to identify the needs of church members and to make efforts to address these needs, especially in times of crisis and emergency.
Children's Religious Education: This team will work with the Coordinator of Children's Religious Education to provide a supportive, nurturing atmosphere for children and youth and will provide programs and activities which are designed to increase religious knowledge, foster personal and spiritual growth and well-being, enhance the spirit of community and provide for the exchange of diverse opinions.
Communications: This team is responsible for communicating the UUCP message both internally and externally.
Denominational Affairs: This team will keep members and officers informed about denominational affairs above the local level and will promote congregational participation in cluster, district, inter-district and continental activities to include leadership training events and the annual General Assembly.
Finance Team: This team is responsible for developing an annual budget for the church and for organizing efforts to meet this budget through the annual canvass, gifts, rental fees, and other fund-raising activities. This team is also responsible for managing the insurance and investment needs of the church and for long-range budgeting.
Fellowship: This team is responsible for fostering a strong sense of community and belonging among the members and friends of the church. It will coordinate scheduled, organized social activities for the congregation.
Green Sanctuary: The Green Sanctuary Team will assist in the congregation-based program of education, theological reflection, spiritual growth and social activism. The program ultimately leads the congregation to certification as a Green Sanctuary, recognizing ongoing work and commitment toward healing the Earth.
Membership: This team is responsible for helping visitors, friends and members feel welcome and included and for integrating them into the life of the congregation. It will also maintain and update the membership rolls at least annually.
Social Justice: This team coordinates the church's involvement in community service projects, community outreach and community education programs on issues of social concern or justice. It will also serve as the congregation's liaison to the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).
Sunday Services: This team is responsible for the planning and presentation of Sunday services and works closely with the Minister throughout the church year. This team will work to provide programs that are intellectually stimulating and rigorous, spiritually uplifting, personally applicable and socially enlightening.
There are two Committees of the Congregation:
The Leadership Development Committee (formerly Nominating) is responsible for identifying potential leaders from the membership and encourage the development of this potential.
The Committee on Ministry (formerly Ministerial Relations) works to aid communication and to improve and strengthen relations between the minister and the congregation.
CHARITABLE TRUST: Is an independent non-profit tax-exempt trust. Its purpose is to receive, invest and administer private bequests, gifts and other financial support on behalf of the UUCP.

There are 19.5 million people around the world on treatment for HIV, 11 million of them through programs supported by the Global Fund as of 2016. Today, with access to lifesaving treatment, an HIV-positive person can expect to have the same lifespan as someone who is HIV-negative.
One of the cornerstones of this lifesaving treatment is the use of antiretrovirals (ARVs). ARVs are given as a combination of drugs that can reduce the amount of HIV in the body or prevent HIV in people at substantial risk of acquiring the virus. However, ARVs are not a cure for HIV; a person living with HIV who is on treatment will need to take ARVs the rest of their life. ARVs also have another benefit: treatment reduces the chance that an HIV-positive person will pass the virus on to someone else by 97 percent.

"I have the biggest country morning show in the USA. I have no idea how it happened either. I also talk sports on Fox Sports Radio. I do selfies w my dog." - Bobby Bones, Twitter

Welcome to the world of Bobby Bones, a rising radio star who seems at times just as surprised at his success as anyone else.

Bobby Bones, namesake for The Bobby Bones Show, is a radio personality who is based in Nashville, Tennessee and works out of his flagship station, 98 WSIX-FM. The Bobby Bones Show is broadcast 5 - 10 a.m. weekday mornings and is currently syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, which is owned by Clear Channel Media & Entertainment.

The Bobby Bones Show is the fastest growing Country-formatted morning radio show in America and is now heard on over 60 Clear Channel radio stations and iHeartRadio as well. A rolling replay of each day's program can also be heard on iHeartRadio.

Some Bones Bio

Bones, originally from Hot Springs, Arkansas, has been in radio since he was 17. His real name is Bobby Estell and he was born April 2, 1980. Bones has a Radio/TV degree from Henderson State University.

According to an article by Emily Yahr in The Washington Post, "Bones might seem like a controversial choice. He's known as a wild card who is not afraid of 'going rogue' when interviewing top singers and is frequently accused of being 'not country enough.' But Clear Channel believes he's a star and has tapped him as a key figure in their push into syndicated country music programming."

Other Show Cast

Amy is a co-host on the program. She came from A&M University and spent time in sales before meeting Bobby at a restaurant and moving into radio. Amy is conservative and married to a pilot in the Air Force.

"Lunchbox" is another co-host. He has been in radio for over a decade and the story goes Bobby "…found him at a bar." According to his official bio, "Lunchbox is a bar rat who loves drinking and taking shots with his friends and hot chicks. He can also be found on local lakes tearing up the water on his Jet Ski and one day hopes to own a hot tub boat."

Eddie is the show's Digital Content Producer. He has a background in TV and photography and a degree in Radio/Television & Film. Eddie hails from south Texas and is married with one child at this writing.

Alayna is the Executive Producer of The Bobby Bones Show. Originally from Venezuela, she went to college in the U.S. and joined Bones as an intern while still in school. In 2006, she became the program's Assistant Producer, then Network Producer, and finally Executive Producer since 2012. Her duties including maintaining BobbyBones.com and she also creates the games for the show.

Ray produces all three of Bobby's shows. He was born in Salt Lake City but grew up in Saratoga, Wyoming.

Bones is Busy

Besides his syndicated morning show, Bobby Bones is also host of the Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones, heard weekends nationwide. Bones also is co-host of Roddick and Bones on FOX Sports Radio. It airs Saturdays from 1 – 4 p.m. ET on about 300 radio stations.

Podcasts of The Bobby Bones Show are available at the program's website.

You can find Bobby Bones on Facebook or Twitter.

Hi all, hope this is in the right place
Recently, i have been trying to play audio CDs via mplayer.
If i play the whole CD, after a time (more than 1 track) the audio starts going what i can only describe as 'sputtery' and corrupted.
If i play that 1 track on its own (cdda://12 ) the track plays fine.
Another CD also does this, and both CDs are fine - they work perfectly in a windoze box and a hifi
Googling hasn't brought anything up, so has anyone got any ideas?

SPRINGFIELD — — Republican candidates for governor are split on whether a government worker pension overhaul backed by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn should be approved when lawmakers return to the Capitol this week.
On Sunday, wealthy equity investor Bruce Rauner said he opposes the pension agreement while state Sen. Bill Brady indicated he favors it. State Sen. Kirk Dillard did not stake out a position, and Treasurer Dan Rutherford declined to comment on what's viewed as one of the most pressing issues facing state government.

Land Arts of the American West
From TTU College of Architecture
(Difference between revisions)
Revision as of 13:51, 15 August 2009
Land Arts of the American West is a semester long interdisciplinary field program expanding the definition of land art through direct experience with the full range of human interventions in the landscape, from the inscriptions of pictographs and petrogylphs to the construction of roads, dwellings, and monuments, as well as traces of those actions. Land Arts investigates the intersection of geomorphology and human construction beginning with the land and extending through the complex social and ecological processes that produce contemporary landscapes.
Additional information can be found at http://landarts.org and by contacting Chris Taylor.
Information about the current program year can be found at Land Arts 2009.

Pyromancer (Mage) Edit
- Health: 4000
- Energy: 100
- Energy Regen: +10/sec
- Energy On-Hit: +10
- Damage: +10%
Simply put, the Pyromancer is a Glass Canon. With one of the lowest starting health of all the specializations (tied for last with the Aquamancer and Thunderlord), the Pyromancer cannot stand toe to toe with the better-armored and better equipped Paladin and Warrior specializations. Instead, the class tends to lend itself better to fighting from behind the lines of the more tanky warrior and paladin specializations, raining hellfire down on your foes with Fireballs and Flame Bursts. If you are forced into melee however, you can temporarily transform yourself into a weak swordsman by creating a shield of magic to absorb damage and wreathing your blade (or mace or axe or spear) in molten metal. And when that inevitably fails, you can always run away with a time warp.
Fireball Edit
- Energy Cost: 35
- Crit. Chance: 15%
- Crit. Multiplier: 150%
- Base Damage: 279-377 (See Description)
The Pyromancer's first skill is true to it's role as a glass cannon. At the cost of 35 energy per bolt, you launch a bolt of flame that deals 297 - 377 base damage to all enemies in a 2 block radius around the point of impact. Additionally, the bolt does an extra 30% to the player it hits directly, as the flames are more intense around the core of the blast. This bolt of energy is also quite useful for knocking fleeing opponents off their horses. Due to this skill not having any cooldown, a quick volley of three can easily net you ~1000 damage, bringing most other classes down to your level.
Flame Burst Edit
- Cooldown: 16 Seconds
- Energy Cost: 30
- Crit. Chance: 15% (See Description)
- Crit. Multiplier: 150%
- Base Damage: 557-753
If Fireball is a cannon, then Flame burst is a mini nuke. The Pyromancer's second skill does roughly twice the damage of the first and does even more damage from afar. While it does lack Fireball's +30% direct hit bonus, it makes up for it when a good distance away as it gains a +1% critical strike chance for every block traveled. Thus, a nearby battle will give it a 25% chance of criting, where as a long distance spawn-to-spawn shot will almost guarantee a shot three times the power of fireball. whilst this attack does cost five less energy than Fireball, it has a short cooldown time before you can unleash hellfire again.
Time Warp Edit
- Cooldown: 50 Seconds
- Energy Cost: 15
The third Pyromancer skill is shared with the other two Mage specializations. The skill allows the player to place a rune on the ground which after five seconds the caster will return to and regain 20% of their max health. This spell is usefull in two situations: The first is when the caster is fleeing combat and is being pursued. Casting the rune allows the Pyromancer to teleport back behind his pursuers and run in another direction. The second is simply you took a little flak from a nearby battle and need to take a moment to grab a boost before returning to the fray. Either way, the skill essentially acts a get-out-of-jail-free card if used properly. But be warned: the rune left behind is rather obvious and a smart opponent will camp the rune to pick up an easy kill upon your return. Use the skill wisely.
Arcane Shield Edit
- Cooldown: 40 Seconds
- Energy Cost: 20
The Pyromancer's forth skill is also shared by the other Mage specializations. The skill creates a magical barrier that will absorb up to 30% of your max health in damage. The effect ends after six seconds or after the sheild has reached its damage capacity, whichever comes first. This skill essentially gives you more health for when you enter the fray or when running away from it.
- Cooldown: 60 Seconds
The Pyromancer's ultimate skill gives him a massive damage boost, increasing his critical strike chance by 25% and his crit multiplier by 50% for his Melee, Fireball and Flame Blast skills. Useful when in a pinch or when finishing of a not-so-weakened foe.

Bald Mountain reaches a whopping 12,000 feet, but don't be put off! Despite the high elevation, it is incredibly family and beginner-friendly, as the trail is easy to follow. Enjoy the surrounding wild flowers on the way up and if you're lucky you may see a pika or a mountain goat! Climb between July and September for the best view of the Alpine Lakes. Don't be the one to reach the summit of one of Utah's 100 most prominent peaks (at 11,947 feet) and find that you've forgotten your camera!
Go for the building but stay for the park surrounding it. Utah's Capitol building has some remarkable architecture inside, and free tours are offered on the hour Monday through Friday. The park enjoys a spectacular view of downtown while sporting several memorials and a reflecting pond.
What better way to sample the history of SLC than to head straight to its heart? Located in the center of the city, this 10-acre complex is owned by the church of Latter-day Saints. It has a gothic appeal to its exterior, which makes for excellent grandiose picture taking. Admire the outside then take a tour of the inside!
A great break from sightseeing and a name you can trust: Bambara was recently named Salt Lake City's Best Restaurant. Its convenient location downtown affords you an after-dinner walk in the city's liveliest neighborhood. Everything at this venue from the food to the atmosphere is top notch but taken with a casual approach, so you'll feel relaxed while dining. Chef Nathan Powers promises not to let you down!
A capitol city wouldn't be complete without a bustling, animated main street. SLC's Main Street is no exception boasting a new, revitalized look, specialty shops left and right, and handfuls of ethnic restaurants, which make a perfect break from shopping or for meals. Your trip downtown is also the chance to take note of the city's remarkable grid system design. All major roads are laid out precisely running north-south or east-west, making travel around town much easier once you are familiar with the layout.
