Jaymes Young - Distraction
Artist: Jaymes Young
Producer: Jaymes Young
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 5 votes )
Life is full of Distractions. (For those of y'all trying to get work done, we in The DJBooth might be one of them.) If you can, though, tune out all extraneous sources of stimulation and give your full attention to Jaymes Young's latest feature—trust me, you'll be glad you did. This promo single is nominally a remix of an instrumental cut by Bristol DJ/producer Phaeleh, but that's being a little too modest. In addition to reshaping the record's production into a more driving electronic groove, the unsigned alt-R&B buzzmaker lays down entirely new vocals. Feeling it? Then stay tuned. Young's rendition of Distraction isn't attached to a larger set, but we'll keep you posted on the artist's plans as further details emerge.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has revealed James McClean is an injury doubt for their Premier League game against Arsenal on the weekend.
The 23-year-old winger played 83 minutes for the Republic of Ireland in their 2-0 friendly win over Poland in Dublin on Wednesday, as Ciaran Clark and Wes Hoolahan both netted their first-ever international goals to secure the victory.
Yet the former Derry City man sustained an ankle injury during which looks to have ruled him out of Sunderland's league fixture at home to the Gunners.
"James has a problem. He played about 80 minutes for the Republic of Ireland and got a knock on his ankle in the first half, but played on," O'Neill told reporters.
"It's blown up somewhat, so at the moment the physios are dealing with him. We'll see how he is, but it might be a problem."
Despite having not started the last three games for Sunderland, McLean has featured in all but two of the club's 25 games in the league so far this season, contributing two goals and one assist in the process.

At the end of the trail we came to the 'Tame Macaw' where, under the close eye of a keeper, you could hold a macaw and have your picture taken for ...

Saving The Ocean
Scourge of the LionfishEpisode Guide »
Lionfish are beautiful, colorful reef fish found throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans - that's the good news. The bad news is they're now found all over the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic coasts of North and South America as well. Alien to those waters, lionfish are the perfect invasive species - aggressive, without predators, prolific breeders and tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Numbering in the millions, they are damaging to native fish species. Diving in the Bahamas to help clear lionfish from reefs, sitting down to a lionfish dinner in the Yucatan and joining a lionfish-only fishing derby in Florida, Carl Safina learns how people are fighting back.

Carpet Rems
Could the fact that every room in a house has a different carpet contribute to it not selling? Case in point: house on market for 9 months. Multiple showings, and a few low-ball offers. Home is upgraded with granite in kithen and baths (up and down). Hardwood at entry and in kitchen. Only thing I can surmise is the carpet remnants the house is showered with. Navy carpet in one room, beige in another, green with maroon border in yet another...literally every room in the house has a different color carpet. Is that why house is not selling? I know price may factor in also, as with the 20K price drop many more showings, but still no workable offers...your input?
There could be more going on than just the carpet. The carpet would be a big turnoff to most. While I would buy a house knowing that I'm replacing the carpet, many would not. The carpet colors mentioned would be hard to decorate around for most people. IMO, different colors of carpet could make you look desperate as a seller.
I'd replace the carpet. I think it would be a lot less expensive to do than dropping the price.
As mentioned, you can post pictures here if you would like further opinions. There may be other things that might be an easy fix that are a turnoff to buyers.
I sold my home and moved into my spouse's when we married and he had a different carpet in nearly every room because everyone chose their own bedroom decors. Different patterned wallpaper as well. I found it very unsettling, even though I loved the home in every other way. Each room was lovely (if the door was shut to the next) but with the doors open it was a migraine waiting to happen. One bedroom had blue carpet abutting a bedroom with dark red, abutting a rec room with orange. They didn't even coordinate.
I'm in the flooring business. You get a lot of bang for your buck by doing new flooring. It will update the whole look. Personally, I don't mind all different color carpets, but I wouldn't want THOSE colors. However, cosmetics never stop me from buying a house. They'll cause me to offer less though.

Skate 2
Drop your skills challenge. Need help... badly.
Has anyone completed this one? I'm just totally sucking at it. Any advice? What's a "late flip"? I've checked the trick guide, but still don't understand what that is. Is it just a flip trick that's done... late, or something? Any pointers would be most appreciated. I'll keep trying for the moment...
Do a normal trick, then kickflip/shoveit after it is finished for a late flip. Typically, ollie and flip once you're in the air.
Wolf Blitzer doesn't have a chin under his beard, just another question.
Flick the right stick down then up, or do a circular motion, while in the air. Helps to do a regular ollie/nollie, as you can go straight to the late flip instead of hoping you got enough air to do two tricks.
"Life...is strength. This is not to be contested, it seems logical enough, you live....you affect your world. But is it what YOU need?" Jon Irenicus
thanks for the help guys. I'll give it a try.
I'm also stuck on this and i don't know what a one foot is or a late flip?
because you have to do it over the rail i just don't get it :S

Stretch Over Time
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like light gloves that fit tight. I don't want a glove that feels like my hand will come out of them while the glove is still attached to my handlebars. The Ace gloves were great when they were new, but over time they became stretched out and lose.
On the plus side they held up very well - never torn even after some hard falls. You can also throw them in the washer and they come out nice and white.

Comfortable and cool
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I needed a full fingered glove for downhill biking in the mountains in the fall and this set did the trick. It wasn't bulky and heavy and sweaty, but offered great grip and it worked flawlessly with my iphone. I really like the soft upper. My only complaint is that it could use just a little more padding in the palm. Then again, the rental bikes could have had more comfortable grips as well.
Nice, Lightweight Glove. Limited Padding
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been using the gloves for long rides in alpine terrain as well as lower elevation rides in the woods. They breathe really well and perform well in the heat. The hand padding is very slim, but seems to work just fine. I've got the small and they fit my small hands incredibly well. No gaps or extra fabric.

My Favorite Gloves of 2013
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Previously the SixSixOne Raji gloves used to be my favorite riding gloves as they were lightweight, breathable, and had minimal padding. Low and Behold, Troy Lee Designs has really upped the ante with the Ace Glove. The fit is the best I've tried so far which is in part to the well thought out design and materials. The materials used feel like a step above anything I've used in the past. The palm is Clarino which offers good grip and dexterity while offering great durability. The upper breathes better than I expected. Finally my 2 favorite parts of the glove that I wasn't expecting are on the thumb. TLD sewed in a small portion on the tip of the thumb to work with a touch screen. It was a little feature I didn't realize I would use as much as I do on my smart phone or Garmin 510/810. Second is the super soft material on the back of the thumb that is incredibly comfortable against skin. It makes it super comfortable to wipe dirt off your lips from a screaming descent or snot off your nose from an unrelenting climb. Now all my other gloves feel like sandpaper.
As for fit, my wrist is 7in and base of my hand to tip of finger is 7.5in, the size Large fits spot on.

Kyabram SPC Ardmona staff face uncertain future
6 Kyabram SPC Ardmona workers face an uncertain future after leaving the company on Friday.May 7, 2014 3:25am
Retrenched SPC Ardmona workers in Kyabram do not know what they will do next after more than 1400 years of experience left the company on Friday, the Australian Workers Union says.
The 73 workers from the Kyabram, Shepparton and Mooroopna sites were told in December last year that they would lose their jobs despite a $22
Six of the 73 workers were at the Kyabram site and AWU SPC plants representative Mark Bell said yesterday the mood was sombre in the lead up.
''I was there last Thursday. It was very sombre because some of them are getting half-decent packages, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter how much you get because you still have to get up on Monday morning and not know what direction you are going to go,'' he said.
''It's a small town and there is not a lot of work. These blokes if they want to get work will possibly have to move out of town or some of them even move interstate.''

In 2007, as many truck and engine makers started announcing they would use selective catalytic reduction to meet 2010 federal emissions regulations a new term entered our trucking dictionary: diesel exhaust fluid.
As we soon learned, SCR is an aftertreatment technology that injects small amounts of DEF, a water-based solution containing urea, into an engine's hot exhaust stream to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx).

A multi-point latch assembly having a locking unit operably positioned in a closure member such as a door or window. The latch unit has a pair of latches with slots formed therein permitting the latches to simultaneously slide and pivotally engage a stationary pin. A keeper unit is operably positioned in a stationary member such as a door jam in a wall or a window sash. The keeper unit has a pair of pivotally movable hooks for selectively engaging the pair of latches in the latch unit. The latch unit has an actuator unit located internal to the latch unit for causing the hooks and latches to engage one another. The closure member is prevented from moving relative to the stationary member without first disengaging the hooks and latches from one another. The multi-point latch assembly has a stop rod located in the keeper unit. A release button located on the latch unit engages the stop rod when the closure member is closed. The latch unit is incapable of actuating the hooks and latches until the release button contacts the stop rod when the closure member is in a closed position relative to the stationary member.
1. A method for assembling a multi-point latch assembly comprising the steps of:
adjusting a set of rollers on a closure member for aligning the closure member with a stationary member;
inserting at least one screw having a pointed head into a trim plate located on a forward edge of the moveable member;
marking the stationary member with the pointed head screw by closing the closure member a distance required to contact the stationary member with the pointed head screw;
aligning a keeper unit with the marking on the stationary member;
installing the keeper unit at the marked location; and
reversing the screw and fastening a trim plate onto the closure member with the screw.
2. A method of installing a keeper structure for a sliding door latch assembly of the type including a latch for installation on a leading edge of the sliding door and a keeper structure for installation on a jamb against which the sliding door closes, the method comprising:
installing the latch on the leading edge of the sliding door;
installing at least one marker member on a leading edge of the latch projecting forwardly from the leading edge of the latch, wherein the marker member comprises a pointed screw threaded into a trim plate at the leading edge of the latch;
thereafter sliding the door toward the jamb to cause the installed marker member to engage the jamb and form a mark on the jamb, wherein the mark comprises an indentation in the jamb;
thereafter mounting the keeper structure on the jamb in a position relative to the mark such that the latch properly coacts with the keeper structure to latch the door against the jamb; and
thereafter removing the marker member from the latch.
3. A method according to
4. A method according to
The present invention relates to a multi-point lock assembly having locking hooks positioned in the stationary keeper of a door unit.
In a typical sliding door installation, a lock unit having one or more hooked locking members is mounted into a movable door. A keeper unit is mounted into a stationary door opening member or jamb. The door is closed by bringing the lead edge into contact with the jamb and then locked by rotating a thumb turn to cause the locking hooks to extend out from the edge of the door and into the slots in the keeper plate.
A problem associated with this conventional configuration is that because the thumb turn can be operated in any door position, the hooks can be extended prior to the door being closed. If the door is forcibly closed with the hooks extended, damage can be caused to the hooks, to the keeper plate, or to both.
One way to solve this problem is to use hooks which collapse when slammed against the stationary keeper plate. This method of preventing damage to the lock mechanism is more expensive due to the complexity of the design.
The present invention provides a multi-point lock assembly for sliding closures, such as patio doors, which eliminates the problems associated with the prior art devices as described above.
In general, this is accomplished in an assembly comprising a latch unit which is placed in the sliding closure and a keeper assembly which is placed on the stationary closure frame, typically called a jamb. In accordance with the invention, the keeper is provided with hooks which normally occupy a retracted position but which are rotated to a partially set position by bringing the leading edge of the closure near or into contact with the keeper unit. In the partially set position, the hooks extend into the latch unit, but do not provide a fully activated closure-to-jamb lock until a mechanism on the latch unit, typically a thumb turn or a key, is rotated to activate latches within the latch unit to complete the rotation of the hooks and fully lock the closure to the joint.
The invention can be used with any kind of sliding closure including both patio doors and sliding windows or closure panels.
In an illustrative embodiment of the invention, the multi-point latch assembly has a stop rod located in the keeper unit. A release button located on the latch unit engages the stop rod when the closure member is closed. The hooks and latches are incapable of being actuated until the release button is depressed by the stop rod. The release button is contacted and depressed by the stop rod when the closure member is in a closed position relative to the stationary member.
The hooks include a substantially J-shaped hook portion extending from a pivot center of rotation. The J-shaped hook portion engages a corresponding latch when the latch unit and keeper unit are locked to one another. The hook also includes a tab extending from a center of rotation at an oblique angle relative to the hook portion. An adjustable screw located in the latch unit engages the tab of each hook when the closure member closes. The adjustable screw causes the hook to rotate at a discreet angle out of the keeper unit and into the latch unit.
An actuator for actuating the latch mechanism is located in the latch unit. A pair of upper and lower channel bars, having first and second ends are connected to the actuator at the first ends thereof. The channel bars have an offset extension at the second ends thereof. The offset extension has an aperture for a pivot pin to engage with and extend between each pair of channel bars. The pivot pin pivotally connects with a corresponding latch positioned between the offset extensions. The channel bars include at least one rod extending between an inline portion of each pair of channel bars. The rod engages a corresponding hook that has rotated into the latch unit when the moveable member is closed. The rod then moves the hook into a locked position with the corresponding latches.
In one embodiment of the invention, an adjustable clip is operably associated with each keeper unit for positioning the hooks at a predetermined location relative to the latch unit. Each adjustable clip has two sides and a mounting member extending there between for connecting the clips to a keeper plate.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, a U-shaped channel keeper is positionably adjustable by attaching a shim to the backside of the U-shaped channel keeper prior to attaching the keeper to the stationary member. A plurality of plastic filler pieces snap in the U-shaped channel keeper adjacent the hooks for providing a flush surface at the edge of the U-shaped channel.
In operation, the multi-point lock requires the closure member to be shut before the hooks can extend outwardly from the keeper during the locking sequence. As the closure member closes, the moveable member engages a tab on each hook causing the hook to rotate outwardly away from the keeper unit. The lock actuator is actuated by turning a key or a thumb turn. The actuator rotates the corresponding latches and the hooks until each are engaged with one another. The tension between the latches and hooks is automatically adjusted via biasing means integral to the actuator system.
An anti-slam feature for the multi-point lock assembly is provided for preventing the hooks and latches from rotating into the locking position when the latch unit, located on the moveable member, is displaced from an engaged position relative to the keeper-unit which is located in the stationary member. A release button, located in the latch unit, is engaged by a stop-rod, located in the keeper-unit, when the moveable member engages the stationary member during closing. Once the release button is depressed, the actuator can be be turned and the lock mechanism is free to complete the locking sequence.
A method for assembling a multi-point lock assembly includes adjusting rollers for aligning the moveable member with the stationary member. Once the moveable member is aligned, at least one pointed head screw is threaded into a trim plate located on the outer edge of the latch unit. The moveable member is then closed a sufficient distance for the pointed head screw to mark the stationary member. The keeper unit is then installed at the marked location so that perfect alignment with the latch unit is achieved. The pointed head screw is then reversed and threaded completely into the trim plate.
Other applications of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when the following description of the best mode contemplated for practicing the invention is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The description herein makes reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Referring now to
Referring now to
The actuator units include actuator caps 44 a, 44 b operably connected to each gear 30, 32 such that the actuator caps 44 a, 44 b operate independently from one another. A spring 46 is positioned between each actuator cap 44 a, 44 b and their associated gears 30, 32. The springs 46 are compressed when the latch unit is in the unlocked position as shown in
Now referring to
Referring again to
The latch unit 12 has a threaded member 76 extending from a forward edge 71 of the latch unit 12 towards the actuator unit 28. A ramp 78 having a nodule 79 with a substantially horizontal surface at the lower end thereof is connected proximate the second ends 62 of the lower set of channel bars 50. The ramp 78 is angled from the nodule 79 back towards the actuator unit 28. The nodule 79 rests adjacent the threaded member 76 and is prevented from moving past the threaded member 76 when the release button 70 is in the first position 72 as shown in
Referring to
Referring now to
During the unlocking sequence the upper and lower sets of sliding channel bars 48, 50 are actuated such that each set 48, 50 reciprocatingly move in the opposite direction relative to the locking sequence. The ramp 78 is angled to permit the ramp 78 to slide past the threaded member 76 until the nodule 79 is reset adjacent the threaded member 76. The hooks 92, 94 and latches 20, 22 are disengaged prior to the nodule 79 being reset after which the moveable member 14 can then be displaced from the stationary member 18. The release button is biased in the second position 74 due to the actuator caps 44 a, 44 b acting though the channel bar set 50 causing the ramp to forcibly move the release button 70. The latch unit 12 can not be actuated again until the moveable member 14 is closed.
Referring back to
The latches 20, 22 include substantially L-shaped extensions 90 for engaging corresponding hooks 92 and 94 that are rotated into the latch unit 12 from the keeper unit 16. The hooks 92, 94 have a substantially J-shaped portion 96, as shown in
Referring now to
Referring now to
Referring now to
Each adjustable clip 118 a, 118 b includes an upper pair of apertures 125 a, 125 b and a lower pair of apertures 129 a, 129 b extending through the sides 120 a and 120 b respectively. Threaded fasteners 123 a extend through apertures 125 a and 129 a located in the side 120 a for threadably engaging with internally threaded posts 123 b entering through apertures 125 b and 129 b located in the side 120 b of the adjustable clips 118 a, 118 b. The threaded fasteners 123 a and posts 123 b prevent sides 120 a, 120 b of the adjustable clips from inadvertently spreading too far apart from one another. The hooks 92, 94 are connected through a pivot center 98 with a pivot pin 131 extending through an apertures 127 a and 127 b formed in the sides 120 a, 120 b respectively of each clip 118 a, 118 b. Torsional springs 104 are operably associated with the hooks 92, 94 to ensure each hook rotates out of the latch unit 12 when the closure member 14 is opened.
The stop rod 80 is fixedly held in place with a threaded fastener 133 extending through the keeper plate 124 and a cushioned bumper 135 prior to threadably engaging the stop rod 80. The cushioned bumper 135 ensures that the release button 70 of the latch unit 12 is not damaged if the closure member 14 is slammed shut.
Referring now to
Referring now to
In operation, the multi-point latch assembly 10, requires the moveable member 14 to be shut relative to the stationary member 18 before the locking sequence can be initiated. When the closure member 14 closes, the adjustable screws 102 a, 102 b located on the latch unit 12, engage the tabs 100 of each hook 92, 94. The hooks 92, 94 are rotated out of the keeper-unit 16 and into the latch unit 12 when the moveable member 14 is fully closed.
A latch actuator 28 can be actuated after the moveable member 14 is closed. The actuator unit rotates the latches 20, 22 and the corresponding hooks 92, 94 until each engage with one another. The actuator unit 28 automatically adjusts the tension between the hook 92, 94 and the latches 20, 22 via biasing means 44 a, 44 b. The engaged surfaces of the latches 20, 22 and the hooks 92, 94 are angled relative to a vertical axis to prevent sliding disengagement caused by an attempted forced entry. While angles greater than zero degrees have been found effective to remain securely engaged with one another, a twelve degree angle on each surface is most preferred. The combination of the angled surfaces and the biasing means 44 a, 44 b advantageously cooperate to prevent forced entry into a locked area.
A method for preventing the impact of extended hooks 92, 94 with the moveable member 14 is contemplated by the present invention. The anti-slam feature prevents the hooks 92, 94 and latches 20, 22 from rotating into a locking position when the latch unit 12 is displaced from an engaged position relative to the keeper-unit 16. The hooks 92, 94 and latches 20, 22 can be moved into a locking position only after the release button 70 located on the latch unit 12 is depressed by the stop rod 80 located on the keeper unit 16 when the moveable member 14 is closed.
A method for assembling a multi-point latch assembly 10 is also defined by the present invention. Adjustable rollers on the moveable member 14 are adjusted such that the moveable member 14 is aligned with the stationary member 18. After installing the latch unit 12 into the moveable member 14, at least one screw 110, having a pointed head is threadingly engaged into a trim plate 106 located on the outer edge 71 of the latch unit 12 as shown in
While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, which scope is to be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent structures as is permitted under the law.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Live Tour, The O2 Arena, London
Monday 30 January 2012
Panto season is still with us. The Strictly Come Dancing live tour is a re-enactment of the television series, with everybody playing themselves. The cheesy training videos, the judges' comments and the audience votes are all there, with flashes of dancing amid the glitter.
Directed by Craig Revel Horwood, one of the show's judges, this is a live show that still looks planned for television. There's a huge dance floor in the centre of the arena, but most of the dancing happens on a much smaller raised platform.
Big screens show the dances in close-up; some routines look better on screen than they do in front of you. It's wonderful when McFly drummer Harry Judd and his partner Aliona Vilani, winners of the last series, use the whole stage in a sparkling quickstep: the dancing really projects, speedy and exuberant.
Reality television tends to cast its performers in stereotype roles. Here, they're stuck in their types, with no possibility of changing the script. Nancy Dell'Olio is the Wicked Queen, with everyone joking about her ego. She babbles on about herself, because that's what's expected, but it doesn't have the sheer weirdness it had on telly: you don't wonder if she means it.
Host Kate Thornton talks up the competition element, with each live performance producing its own winner. Yet there's little sense of risk; nobody will be voted off a tour, and their roles are already set. The dancers don't just recreate familiar routines, but other familiar moments; footballer Robbie Savage clearly "shocks" Revel Horwood by jumping onto the judge's desk at every performance.
Thornton, judges and dancers try to whip up excitement for the contest, with big reactions to the judges' entirely expected comments and the audience cheerfully applauding and booing on cue.
What does come through is the dancing. This lineup has the three finalists from last series – Judd, Jason Donovan and Chelsee Healey – plus Anita Dobson, Savage, Dell'Olio and swimmer Mark Foster.
Judd and Vilani dance a slick tango, with clean edges and flickering footwork. Jason Donovan is an earnest performer, but partners Kristina Rihanoff in another good tango. Healey and her partner Pasha Kovalev are a delight, bounding through their steps with bubbly energy. The group numbers, choreographed by Natalie Lowe and Ian Waite, have some bounce, with an appealingly giggly sequence for judges Revel Horwood, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli.
Tour continues until 26 February. www.stritclycomedancinglive.com

Finished Bathroom
Since I've spent so much time here getting helpful hints and ideas for our bathroom remodel, I wanted to post the results.
My husband did ALL the work himself (except hang the drywall and shower glass). It took him 10 months working evenings and weekends.
Our house was built in 1921 so we tried to go for a vintage feel.
If anyone wants to know what materials we used let me know and I will dig the info up :)

Oh I wanted a sink with towel bars so bad, but alas it was not to be. Your sinks are lovely. And yes that floor is great. If only I could have that too, only in navy instead of black dots. But the color sure fits your room well. Good job. Love the feel of the entire space and fixtures.
Absolutely beautiful! Love the towel storage idea. Enjoy!!

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
20 Feb 2014 02:49 GMT | Politics, Europe, Belgium
Serge Dassault, the billionaire manufacturer of French fighter jets, was in custody for alleged vote-buying in Corbeil-Essonnes, east of Paris, where he was formerly mayor.
The move comes a week after Dassault's parliamentary immunity was lifted, reports AFP news agency.
Dassault was interrogated on Wednesday in the western Paris suburb of Nanterre, a judicial source said.
The judges suspect Dassault of operating an extensive system of vote-buying which influenced the outcome of three mayoral elections in Corbeil in 2008, 2009 and 2010, which were won either by Dassault or by his successor and close associate Jean-Pierre Bechter.
The result of the 2008 vote, won by Dassault, was invalidated by the Council of State after the body which oversees public administration discovered a series of payments which could have influenced the outcome of the election.
That ruling did not require the same burden of proof as a criminal prosecution for vote buying would, but formal charges against Dassault now look inevitable.
Bechter has already been charged, as has Cristela de Oliveira, a former official in the mayor's office who is suspected of allocating council flats to families in return for backing Dassault or Bechter.As well as the alleged vote-buying, Dassault could be charged with money-laundering and misuse of public assets, sufficiently serious crimes to raise the possibility of a prison term.
In 1998, Dassault received a two-year suspended prison sentence in Belgium for bribing members of the country's Socialist Party to win an army-helicopter contract in what became known as the Agusta scandal.

Round brackets ( ) are used to insert additional information.
Round brackets can also be used to show that something could be singular or plural, e.g., Remove the pin(s) from the leg.
When round brackets are used to insert information at the end of a sentence, the end punctuation of the sentence is placed outside the bracket. For example:
Round brackets can also be used to show that something could be singular or plural, e.g., Remove the pin(s) from the leg.
When round brackets are used to insert information at the end of a sentence, the end punctuation of the sentence is placed outside the bracket. For example:
- All the crew survived (even the dog).
- All the crew survived. (Even the dog survived.)
- All the crew (The crew was four men and a dog) survived.
Round Brackets for Additional InformationRound brackets are used to insert additional information in text. If you were to remove the brackets and the information inside, the text would still work. For example:
Set in the 17th century, The Three Musketeers ("Les Trois Mousquetaires" in French) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas.
Although they are relatively common off Australia, California, South Africa and Mexico, great white sharks usually inhabit coastal waters where the water temperature ranges 12-24 degrees Celsius. They generally hunt by detecting the electrical fields (They can detect less than one billionth of a volt.) emitted by the movements of their prey.
Round Brackets to Denote Singular or PluralFor brevity, round brackets can be used to show that a word could be either singular or plural. For example:
Square Brackets to Make the Text ClearerSquare brackets are used to add information that explains the text it follows. (The information is usually added by someone other than the original author.) For example:
Square Brackets to Modify the Original TextOften, square brackets are used to replace text in a quote to make the quote clearer for the reader. For example:
Square Brackets: [sic]The term "[sic]" is used to show that the word it follows featured in the original text. Often, "[sic]" is used to indicate that a grammar error in the text was written by the original author. For example:
Square Brackets: [...]Ellipsis is used to show text omitted from a quote. Ellipsis is usually written "..." or "[...]". For example:
Using lots of brackets in your writing is usually a sign of bad sentence structure. Brackets also look a little informal in business correspondence. Luckily, the latter issue is easily solved. You do not have to use brackets all the time. You have a choice between round brackets, commas, and dashes. These are all types of parenthetical punctuation. The information between a pairing of parenthetical punctuation is called a parenthesis.
Parenthesis is used to add additional information. Often, it is just a few words, but it can be a complete sentence or even a few sentences. (If it's any longer than that, you should probably reconsider whether it's appropriate as a parenthesis.)
In most cases, the full stop (period ) will be outside the brackets, but if your parenthesis is a complete sentence, it should start with a capital letter and end in a full stop / period, which would be inside the brackets.
If the parenthesis is a complete sentence within another sentence, you can omit the full stop / period for style reasons. This is why there is no full stop / period after the word volt in the second example about sharks. Here's another example:

backsplash wars
Need some advice, we are at a roadblock! DH wants travertine subway which resembles my porcelain floor color.... I prefer more contrast...Ideas? Suggestions? Color choices?
much appreciated...
Thank you.. countertop is white carrara marble.
Definitely no to travertine in my opinion! I think it would compete in a very bad way with carrara marble counters. Carrara is cool white and gray with more linear veining. Travertine is warm beige/yellow/brown/pink with completely different stone texture.
I like travertine, but NOT with marble. Totally, totally wrong -- and, in your case, it would be too "matchy" with the floor and would not provide any contrast. If you went with travertine, your kitchen would be rather blah . . . and the marble would look like odd-man out, the piece that would match nothing.
No, let your husband have some lovely travertine in another room, but not in this space!
LOL I'm glad to hear votes for my side! DH loves the 'rustic' look of scabos travertine and wants to put it somewhere but I just don't see it fitting in as my backsplash.
EAM44 love your idea, please give me details on where I can find this..
Further details, wall color in kitchen area is BM Sea Haze, (pic attached isn't that great) I was considering something that would complement, but not too 'green'... DH and I do agree on traditional look so what can you all suggest to us?
I found them at Glass Tile Oasis, and I'm sure you can find them at other sites as well. The live link below is to the top tile called "Blue Sparkle", and the link pasted below is to the browner tile, "Woody."
Here is a link that might be useful: Blue Sparkle
With a nod to your husbands affinity for something rustic; how about a lagos gray mosaic? This is from Glass Tile Store but is around $15.
Here is a link that might be useful: lagos gray
We're trying to keep it under 15 sq ft.
I do like the color but the size/ shape might be
too contemporary I think.
And there's a second 'war' brewing as DH thinks
solid wall of straight tile for BS is too blah.. He'd
like to do some type of pattern with tile,
different sizes maybe. I would like something
of interest to the area behind oven but I want
it simple!! Uggggh..
Doesn't your husband know he is supposed to cave in by now? (just kidding)
I hope he's moved off of travertine.
Similar to what remodelfla has offered, I've seen any number of mosaics (both random sizes, squares like the mosaic above, and mini brick) that mix glass and Carrara together. This might address you husband's desires while blending together better than his choice above.
These are around $15/sf.
Glass and stone
Price is important, but I always start by choosing a look I love. Then I try to find something in my price range that approximates that look. Until you know what you want your kitchen to look like, it's going to be hard to find the right tile. Do you want to bring in some color, or do you want your bs to be white/grey like your counter? Browse the finished kitchens blog or houzz for a while.
Someone on here recently posted a pic of there backsplash that would look great in your kitchen. It was something like 2x6 glass tiles all in the same cream color, but some were glossy finish, and others were matte finish. It looked great & would look great in your kitchen too. Anyone remember seeing that one?
Have you considered an onyx backsplash? Your husband might like the tones/textures but I think it would go better with your marble. I think something that ties your floor color and counter color together would be a good idea.

karen belle- thanks for the suggestion "lagos azul", still considering it...
gooster- YES, glass and carrara sounds good to me, can't sell DH on glass though!
EMM44- thanks for the additional ideas, I am leaning towards the third pic however porcelain is another consideration.. easy to clean.. honestly I was hoping for some color but I am afraid of "too busy" or "too blah". I've looked at houzz, nothing has caught my eye yet though. Everyone says "you will just know" when you find it...
kiko- yes, we have considered onyx, but the sample we chose was honey onyx I want to say? Too yellow when held up against the counter/cabinets/floor. I do like that color of the first pic you posted though.
meyersdvm- thanks! the edge is ogee however it is two slabs glued together for the 3 inch wide look.
I like your choices, but they will all take away from your beautiful countertops.
No to travertine for sure! I do think some of the choices are lovely, but I think a nice white subway looks best with the gorgeous carrara. I like to keep things simple and elegant. I'm definitely a less is more kind of girl. Your kitchen is lovely, enjoy!
How about this... could be a bit busy but it pulls in a lot of your elements/colors. Not a very good pic so click the link to see the actual tile
Here is a link that might be useful: Artistic tile
Zeitgeist...that is awful! Sorry, but no. My mini brick is porcelain. I originally wanted a tumbled travertine, but I'm soooo glad we decided against it. I'm not sure how that compares to tumbled marble. I just wasn't comfortable with all the grout filling in the holes. I wanted stone, not grout.
i don't want to be a downer to this party, but i'm already having a tough time with the travertine floor with the marble counters. i think incorporating another natural stone -any stone, would be a mistake. same goes for loud patterns and colorful glass in small mosaics. way too busy.
i would go for a very simple backsplash, in white to blend in with the counters. let it sing in the chorus -someone's got to. dare i suggest white subways?
your kitchen is lovely, and the cabinets are absolutely gorgeous!
People's tastes can differ so widely. You may never find a bs if you wait for us to reach a concensus here. For each of us our sense of style is determined by regional and generational influences, the cultures we've been exposed to, the art we like, etc...
I recommended a thassos marble mosaic for kate, and I think she chose a thassos subway tile. It was a good option for her space, and a more common choice than I would have made. I'm about twenty years younger than most people on this forum and my tastes reflect my generation - as do everyone else's. Do you have an inspiration image that can help us zero in on your aesthetic?
White subway tiles will make your kitchen look much as it does with white paint. I think you can do better. As for the images you posted - is there a reason the mosaics are covered in plastic? I can't get an idea of color or texture in those images. Perhaps you can unwrap them and post again. The Moday 13:14 post second from the left - is that blue? It could be very pretty.
There is a tile out there for you, I promise. If all that we accomplish on this post is to keep you from having to live with a travertine bs, then we have won the war. Don't be afraid to go without a bs until you find the right tile at the right price.

Troupe to wow crowd
Relevant offers
Belly dancing to pop music will be a step away from tradition for the Isis Belly Dance troupe when they take the stage at Coca-Cola Christmas In The Park.
Based in Sunnynook, the troupe has been rehearsing a freshly choreographed piece to Get The Party Started by popstar Pink which they will perform alongside singer Jackie Clarke, December 8.
The group of six women will be wearing their trademark "Isis wings" as a tribute to the Egyptian goddess known as the patron of nature and magic.
Last year the group performed at the Rugby World Cup and the Cult-Couture Fashion Design Awards.
Award-winning belly dancer and leader of the group Tais Derbasova says the five-minute piece has taken just a week to put together.
"It's been a challenge in such a short timeframe, but we've had fun with it and we're all very excited."
Troupe member Gillian Green, the seamstress for the group, has been working on the costumes to ensure they will impress.
"We source a lot from Turkey and, surprisingly, you can also get some good stuff from China," Ms Green says.
"Ten years ago when I started we would wait weeks for a shipment from Egypt and everyone would go crazy choosing their favourites. But now the internet is the best way."
Ms Derbasova also runs classes for women of all levels under the name Tais Belly Dance.
"It's one of the oldest dance forms, it dates back about 3000 years. When people see it for the first time they truly appreciate it because it encompasses all women, regardless of size or age."
The youngest belly dancer she tutors is just 7 years old, Ms Derbasova says, and the oldest is 64.
"It's a very supportive environment for women," she says.
Isis Belly Dance troupe member Sarah Bishop says it has done wonders for her self-confidence.
"The sooner you accept that some bits are going to jiggle, the sooner you're going to enjoy it," she says.

Little hint for usage, I am subscribed to 15 mbits and getting closer to 22 mbit/s usually. It started a few weeks ago.I am not complaining
Honestly when it comes between being able to use the internet unlike capped Videotron I'd still take a slow down every now and then. Though even through the slowdowns, down to about 400KB/s on newsgroups, I never noticed a slow down on browsing and no one mentioned anything to me for the rest of the household.
"I like the part where Teksavvy says it's entirely the customers' fault for trying to use the speed they paid for and not the overselling of their service that causes these slowdowns."just focusing in on this snippet..We did *not* over sell. We planned for a certain amount of customers at a certain amount of usage for each customer.It's looking like the usage per user has changed abruptly due to a gracious speed upgrade from Videotron causing the average usage to go up and eating up more capacity earlier then planned.We don't get those notices ahead of time and so our ability to avert this is very limited.We've been upgrading at the same time new upgrades are installed. We have a new upgrade on the way to be delivered in a couple weeks and we already have the next upgrade after that in the works. It will be a much larger link that would then require less lead time to increase capacity if ever another speed upgrades suddenly happens.There's no doubt that we've been adding users but nothing abnormally high that would have broken our planning. It's looking like the speed upgrades were the primary cause.
