I have been using mailforms several times and was always happy. But if I had to create more complex forms, mailforms was simply not enough. 3 weeks ago I received the newsletter that the new version is out. I waited 2 weeks until I bought. I should have bought it on the first day of the release. This is such a grand step. It's almost like from Win95 to WinXP. The backend looks great and does have lot of web 2.0 scripts built-in. The most important improvement is the layout-extension and multiple templates. I don't need Paypal or database, but I think for others this might be also very important. For all those reasons this is my favourite form component.
For me a software is not only good if it works well. The support is important too. For me from Germany it is often hard to understand English. See this text and sorry for my English because parts translated with Google. I find it super that the website, the shop, the software and the helping desk is also in German. More than this I didn't understand first how to make a link to the menu. I called the company and got support. This is service what I mean. Now I know that the linking of Proforms is much easy. I like too the Paypal support and the layout. I use this for reservation system of a hotel and everything works well. At the whole this is very good software. Go on like this!
Mac users are used to being pampered with ease. All the more satisfying it is to be encountered at Joomla on such products. The design and the whole interface are different to Joomla's environment. It is easy to use and easy to understand. Sure the whole extension is very extensive and it also needs time to understand some special functions. But the fist article of the helpdesk is enough to understand how proforms works. I built 3 forms with layouting, custom html between fields and custom CSS design within 2 hours. Although I never used mailforms before. My conclusion is … I wish I had more hands, so I could give these extension five thumbs up.
Mooj advertises with the unique feature of the modular system. I can only confirm that this is truly unique. I've created a main template for customer data. Then I created specific templates for my products. After that I could easily create a Paypal form for each product. I only had to create one form and had to copy this several times and change only few things. Great!
I've been looking for a good form tool. I tested non commercial and bought some commercial but never was satisfied. Yesterday I found this one. I knew mad4joomla and found it good but it lacked on features. but this new extension does have everything a designer needs. the best thing is that you don't need to be an expert to make good forms. This is the best form tool because it is easy and does have professional functions.
Excellent component, excellent service.
The transition from Mailforms on Proforms is very successful.
All renewals are well thought out. I got a small problem with the calendar and contacted mooj over the helpdesk.
I got a solution within minutes.
Thank you for this great component.

I found the free version, MailForms, to be very easy and to work well. One feature I missed in that version was being able to use separate templates in a Form, like Basic Contact Info. I like having this feature in the Pro version.
Being able to capture data to the database is great, as is having 5 different CAPTCHAs, including Mathematical, which is my favorite.
Price is low, flexibility is high, and support is excellent. I was even fortunate enough to get a very fast fix on a weekend, but they are not usually working...
Much easier to use than prior forms components I have tried.

FULL CIRCLE This spring Epic/Legacy finally started releasing Sly and the Family Stone: The Collection, the band's seven albums complete with previously unreleased music, new liner notes, and great sound, with the final installment, Greatest Hits, to come July 24. The event had been on the horizon for some time, but like everything connected with Sly Stone, a fan was never sure when or if, for that matter the music would be available.
If you aren't familiar with Stone's music, get this collection and enjoy. These days it's popular to credit the Beatles, Brian Wilson, Jimi Hendrix, and a few others as the essential pioneers from that era with no mention of Stone, who was as important as any. If you're wondering why that is, find the title track from his hugely popular 1971 album, There's a Riot Goin' On. It's on the brief side as in zero seconds, which was Stone's idea of a joke or something. As San Francisco Chronicle writer Joel Selvin points out in the notes, the riot was going on in Stone's life.
There was a moment in the late 1970s when music fans were asking, "What happened to Sly Stone?" Time passed, and the question evolved into "Whatever happened to Sly Stone?" The answer "I don't know" didn't change, until one day, sadly and inevitably, the question generated only another question "Who?" an answer all by itself.
In the early 1980s somewhere between "what" and "whatever" the band booked a show at the now-defunct Keystone Berkeley. Stone had gone phantom, which made the performance an event. Accordingly, the place was packed. The band was introduced and began to vamp, and after way too long it was clear the Family didn't know what to expect Stone emerged and took his place behind a keyboard and, without acknowledging anyone, began to play. The band was thrown at first, but after a few halting bars and some nervous glances, they seemed to recognize the groove. Never mind the key or tempo, or where they should jump in. It didn't matter, because suddenly Stone lurched into something else, with the same result. A moment later he did it again. And again. And again.
The set didn't last more than a few minutes. That was the upside. The downside? Everything else.
Yet forgotten or not, Stone was once arguably the most important figure in pop. During the late 1960s and early '70s, the Vallejo native wrote and recorded one hit after another: "Dance to the Music," "Everyday People," "Stand!" "I Want to Take You Higher," "Hot Fun in the Summertime," "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)," "Family Affair." He brought black music to San Francisco's tumultuous hippie scene and created rich, innovative, rock-flavored R&B, played by a deliberately integrated band. Rock fans most of them white welcomed the bridge to black music and, by inference, black people. If the door didn't swing as wide or as often the other way, a glimpse of the band's appearances on YouTube, which has great Family Stone material, shows a genuinely mixed audience responding to the group's appeal for peace and understanding.
Stone was a founding father of modern funk, a wildly creative force who added innovations to the sound as it flourished. His music reshaped the tastes of black and white listeners, and one miserable Sunday morning in August 1969, his band took the Woodstock stage it was 3:30 a.m. and absolutely stole the show.
You can only hope The Collection will have a similar impact. The band's four pre-Riot albums offer a treasure chest of rich, increasingly funky soul.

Looking for a long weekend staycation adventure? Try Viracocha.
Stuck in town for Memorial Day weekend? I hear ya bro. But there's no reason not to take the three days of relative calm in the city to explore some of its newish, dusty corners. You can start with Viracocha, Valencia's antique store-community space that provides a room where we can all get a little folksy with it.
"So many people purchase things that fall apart in a few years," owner Jonathan Siegel told me on a recent visit to the store. "We want to wean people from things that are being currently manufactured. These typewriters," he gestures to a vintage one that soon after claimed a firm standing in my daydreams of possession acquisition, "when they first came out, the joke was that you could drop them out of a plane."
The first time I encountered Viracocha was on a stroll one dusky evening in the Mission. We peeped through the front window to see that some sort of eclectic '60s ski lodge had taken over the space next to the Artists' Television Access. A plump black cat sat on one of the chairs by the door.
To know me is to know I love plump black cats. So back I went, and glad I am. The cat's name is Asha. Scant are the price tags in the wood paneled living room of a store (Siegel may or may not spend some nights in the back rooms), which gives the place an air of comfort -- albeit comfort amongst treasure. An elaborate, 1950s custom made wicker chair sits at one angle, a pair of wooden ducks nestled on the table before it. There's antique books, vintage clothes on a rack in the corner, a stack of goods at the counter by local artists.
The community feel is no happenstance. That was the point of Viracocha, kind of. Downstairs, Siegel hosts his extended family of artistic acquaintances, holding small shows for the up-and-coming. "We wanted the place to be a consistent anchor for people who are in that process of doing open mics, small scale productions," Siegel, who moved here from New York to pursue his photography career, tells me in a calm, measured voice.
The flautist for that Saturday's show wanders through to pick up a book of poetry she'd had her eye on. People from the neighborhood have dropped by on occasion to augment Siegel's collection with their own hand-me-downs, telling him they thought the item "fit" at Viracocha. Proceeds from the goods go to support the shows at night, which Siegel has been accepting donations to attend.
Viracocha's a neighborhood place, or at the least a pretty construction of what neighborhood should be. Comfortable, creative -- beauty that endures.

uh, let's see -- where to start...
unless of course you can get over that in which case no where else in town will be as happy to see you.
all about being awake but relaxed no agendas just representing whatever that might mean -- definitely NOT too hip to live too cool to die.
so be cool.

Morris Ted Phillips Candice Ruud David Schwartz Nicholas Spangler Joshua Stewart Brittany Wait Patrick WhittleSea Cliff board adopts $5.32M budget
The $5.32 million budget adopted this week by the Sea Cliff board of trustees includes a property tax levy that squeaks below the Albany-mandated cap.
The 2012-13 budget, approved on Monday with a unanimous 5-0 vote, is 0.3 percent lower than the current fiscal year's budget.
"We spent a lot of time on this," Mayor Bruce Kennedy said Thursday. "We kept on going back to every department and reviewing them line by line by line. We squeezed everything out of a dollar we possibly could."
The increase in the property tax levy, Kennedy said, is 1.69 percent — with the tax revenue budgeted at $4.74 million for the fiscal year beginning June 1.
The 2012-13 taxes are just $34,000 below what the state calculated as Sea Cliff's levy limit, the mayor said.
The board of trustees on Monday also adopted a local law granting themselves the ability to override the cap in what Kennedy said was "playing on the safe side."
The measure was approved to account for the rare case that unforeseen factors used in Albany's calculation — such as an unexpected increase in pension costs — push Sea Cliff over the 2 percent levy limit, the mayor said.
A January public hearing on the tax cap override drew about 100 raucous residents to Sea Cliff Village Hall, and officials had deferred the vote.

Quick arrests after store across from new police station is robbed
The robbery happened at 12:55 a.m. at Tedeschi Food Shop, 245 Maple St., directly across the street from the Manchester Police Department's new building on Valley Street.
Sgt. Paul Thompson said two men robbed the store and a knife was shown.
"Units responded quickly, obviously," Thompson said.
Police immediately set up a perimeter in the Valley and Maple street area, and Officer Ben Foster and K-9 Moose were brought in to track down the men.
Thompson said the men saw the dog and ran, directly toward other officers. Arrested were Jesse Reidy, 19, of Manchester, and Brannon Collins, 18, of Manchester.
Previously, police headquarters was on Chestnut Street near downtown.
Both men are to be arraigned this morning in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division.
Thompson said the robbery is not related to others that took place on the city's West Side.

Denied access to mental health care
Alarm bells in our prisons, Editorial, July 10
Share via Email
Re: Alarm bells in our prisons, Editorial, July 10
This editorial is a reminder that the "tough on crime" agenda of the government fails victims, inmates and communities across Canada. Ideology has led to the cancellation of programs and services, the absence of rehabilitation and counselling programs, the denial of mental health care and treatment, the absence of addiction treatment or harm reduction programs, and is returning inmates to the streets without the skills to get a job, without rehabilitation, homeless, disenfranchised and often estranged from family, friends and the community. This is a recipe for disaster.
Our federal prisons have become the new mental health institutions of the 21st century with a large proportion of inmates suffering from mental health and addiction issues and incarcerated because they cannot access the medical services required to treat their unique medical needs. Instead, they find themselves criminalized and incarcerated before they can get the care and treatment they require and deserve. Only then are they able to access inadequate and poorly resourced treatment services in a jail rather than in a hospital setting. This is morally and ethically wrong.
Some of the policies of the federal government are in violation of international conventions and treaties signed by Canada and yet they remain unresolved and justified by saying that inmates "deserve" such treatment. Perhaps the United Nations needs to take a look at our prisons from a human rights perspective.
It is no longer acceptable that government institutions discriminate against people with disabilities by denying access to mental health care, treatment, addiction treatment, supports and services. This is a human rights issue that should concern everyone. We should demand human rights for all.

Add your reviewWinemaker's Notes:
McLAREN VALE This region has a Mediterranean climate with wet winters, dry summers and plenty of sunshine. The proximity to the St. Vincent Gulf, coincidentally named after the patron saint of winemakers, benefits fruit quality with warmer spring and autumn conditions and cooler summers. McLaren Vale is renowned as a premium wine region of great beauty that consistently produces wines of the highest quality with rich flavours. DAVEY FAMILY VINEYARD The Davey Family Vineyard is located in the Willunga Basin at the southern end of the acclaimed McLaren Vale Wine Region. Brothers John and Kym Davey planted the Davey Family Vineyard on land that the family has owned since 1959. This site is dedicated to producing high-quality, intensely coloured and flavoured grapes. Through innovative canopy management and progressive viticultural techniques, superior fruit is grown by managing canopies for balance through a moveable wire system; hand-pruning; precise deficit irrigation and integrated pest management. With rows planted north to south to capture maximum sunlight, the vineyard currently boasts 186 planted acres. VINTAGE NOTE The 2004 growing season was climatically normal, with good spring growth and a long, dry autumn. Ripening was slightly later than usual, with whites being picked in mid-March and reds in late March to late April. If there is one word to describe the 2004 vintage, it is fruitful. Although it is common to thin fruit from young vines, in the 2004 growing season one third of the crop was removed from even the oldest vines, just prior to veraison. The end result was small berries with intense fruit flavours which will rival the outstanding 2002 vintage. WINEMAKING Late in the vintage the aged grenache vines fully ripen the precious fruit that is picked for our full bodied reds and vibrant rosé wines. During a 6 day fermentation in small open fermenters, the cap of skins is gently worked to achieve the optimum balance of colour, flavour and soft tannin structure. The majority of the wine is matured for 10 months in 3 year old American oak puncheons. This larger oak offers maturity with subtlety and softness, whilst the 15% of newer, smaller oak adds spicy aromatic highlights and a tighter structure. TASTING NOTE FROM JOHN DAVEY, WINEMAKER Brilliant dark cherry red. An aroma redolent of ripe strawberries and raspberries is enhanced by subtle vanillan oak. The concentrated flavours of raspberries and dark cherries are integrated with soft, silky tannins and a classically sweet Grenache middle palate. A ripe, medium - full bodied wine with a long, fruit finish which will enhance a variety of foods.

Chapter Two Literature Review LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Introduction In this chapter, the previous investigations that are related to natural fiber reinforced cement based composites, cement, concrete and mortar, will be described. This chapter consists of seventh parts. The first part deals with the composite material concept. The second part includes the definition of fiber reinforced concrete. The third part deals with the structure of sisal fiber. The fourth part include information about the bauxite in the world and in Iraq, in addition to the definition of the term pozzolanze. Factors affecting the natural fiber reinforced concrete were discussed in the fifth part. Part sixth deals with the properties of natural fiber reinforced concrete in the fresh state in addition to the definition of the term admixture. Properties in the hardened state were discussed in the seventh part. Tow non-destructive tests were discussed in the eight part. 2.2 Composite Material Concept Combining two or more components of different physical properties in order to obtain a material having certain properties that can not be attained in the original material, produces composite materials (11). It can be classified into particle reinforced, dispersion strengthened, laminates and fiber reinforced (12).Fiber reinforced concrete is a composite material made 5 Chapter Two Literature Review of brittle concrete matrix containing relatively stiff fibers, these fibers are arranged in a variety of orientations as shown in figure (2-1)(13) Figure (2-1) Various morphology of fiber reinforced composite (13) a- Continuous unidirectional b- Randomly oriented-discontinuous fiber c- Orthogonal fibers d- Multi-ply fibers The strength and elastic properties of the composites can be calculated theoretically by using a simple elastic theory which can be applied to obtain the stress of fiber reinforced concrete. For uncraked section this theory supposed that the fibers are aligned in the direction of stress; they are fully bonded to the matrix, and Poisson's ratio in the fiber and matrix is equal to zero (14). Ec= ErVr + EmVm … (2-1) Where: Ec modulus of elasticity for composite. Er modulus of elasticity for fiber. Em modulus of elasticity for matrix. 6 Chapter Two Literature Review When the composite material is subjected to stress through the elastic range and for the condition of equal elastic strain in fiber and matrix the load carried by the composite can be calculated as: c=Ecε … (2-2) Combing equation (2-1) and (2-2): c=EfVfε+ EmVmε … (2-1a) c=fVf+ mVm … (2-1b) Where: stress of composite material. ε strain of composite material. There is a difference in Poisson's ratio between the matrix and the (15) fiber, therefore more exact equation is given by Majmdar , for a continuous aligned case. Ec=EfVf+EmVm+C … (2-3) Where: C is a correction describing the effect of the differences in Poison's ratio, several equations for determination of the correction term are available, but in general it does not exceed (4%) of the value of E c(11). In the case of randomly discontinuous fibers, the orientation of fibers to the direction of stress, and the length of them have an influence on the elastic properties of the composite, and the efficiency of bond at the fiber interface, therefor two modifications must be carried out on equation (2-1) and (2-1b), by incorporation orientation efficiency factor (η1) and length efficiency factor (η2) as follows(14,16):- EC= η1η2EfVf+EmVm … (2-4) c= η1η2fVf+mVm … (2-5) 7 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.3 Natural Fiber Reinforced Concrete 2.3.1 General It is essentially a special-purpose concrete which consist of small- diameter discontinuous, discrete natural fibers of different origin randomly (7,10,17) distributed in a cementitious matrix . A true appreciation of the relevant properties of any material is necessary if a satisfactory end product is to be obtained and the natural fiber reinforced concrete in this respect is in no way different from other materials. The performance of all types of natural-fiber reinforced concrete is very much influenced by the production process, quality control and the manner in which the material is placed in position. Natural fiber reinforced concretes constitute a new and distinct group of building materials which exhibit similar behaviour to those of conventional fiber reinforced concrete produced from steel and other inorganic/synthetic fibers. As in conventional fiber reinforced concrete, the fibers act as crack-arresters which restrict the growth of flaws on the cement matrix from enlarging under stresses into visible cracks which ultimately cause failure. By restricting the growth of cracks, the usable tensile strength of the composite material is increased to a useful and predictable level. The dispertion of fibers in the brittle matrix offers a convenient and practical means of achieving improvements in many of the engineering properties of the materials such as fracture, tensile and flexural strength, toughness, fatigue and impact resistance (7,10). 8 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.3.2 The Structure of Vegetable Fibers Vegetable fibers can be classified into four main groups (4,18-23): 1. Leaf fibers: are obtained from leaves of monocotyledonous plants. They are also called hard fibers, sisal is the most extensively cultivated leaf fiber. 2. Bast fibers: are obtained from the bark of plant stem, they also called soft fibers, like hemp, jute, kenaf. 3. Seed hair fibers: are obtained from seeds, seed pods and the inner walls of the fruit, they also called surface fibers like coir, cotton and kapo. 4. Miscellaneous fibers: are obtained from the sheathing leaf stalks of palms, leavs stem segments and fibrous husk. Sisal is a leaf fiber which is extracted from the leaves of Agave Sisalana. The fiber content of the leaves which can have a length up to 1.5m, amount to between 3.5% and 5%. The fiber diameter is less than 0.2mm. Figure(2-2) shows a cross-section through a sisal fiber(24). The fibers are built up of about hundred fiber cells. These cells are linked by means of middle lamellae, which is built up of cellulose; hemicellulose; lignin and pectin. They consist of primary and secondary walls. The last one contains three layers as shown in figure (2-2a) surrounding the central vacant part of the fiber called lumen. These walls are built up of fibrils as shown in figure (2-2b)which have a reticulated structure in primary wall, while they are arranged in spiral form in the outermost and middle layers (S1) and (S2) respectively, but in the innermost layer (S3) they have a reticulated structure. The slope of the spiral usually measured as the fibril angle, which is the angle between the long axes of the fiber and that of the fibril. Hence, the smaller fibrils angle the greater strength. The fibril angle of the middle larger is less than that of the outermost layer (19,24,25). 9 Chapter Two Literature Review Fibrils are built up of microfibrils with a thickness of (20mm) and composed of cellulose molecular chains with a thickness of ( 0.7mm) and length of a few micrometeres (25). Figure (2-2) a- Cell structure b- Schematic sketch of a fiber cell and arrangement of the fibrils in each wall layer(25) 10 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.3.3 Factors Affecting the Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Concrete Many factors are found to affect the properties of natural fiber reinforced concrete. Some of the important factors are listed in Table (2-1). The list of factors is not exhaustive but it emphsises the complexity of production of a good quality natural fiber reinforced composites. All the factors are almost equally important in influencing the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. Fiber type, length and volume concentration have been found to have significant effects. Optimum fiber length and volume content are found to be different for different types of natural fibers(7,10). Optimum fiber length and volume fraction for most of the fiber types are around 25 mm and 3 % respectively (26,27). 11 Chapter Two Literature Review Table (2-1) Factors affecting properties of natural fiber reinforced concrete Factors Variables Coconut, sisal, sugarcane bagasse, wood, bamboo, Fiber type hemp, jute, akwara, elephant grass, water-reed, plantain, musamba, cellulose, ….etc. Length, diameter, cross-section, rings and hooked Fiber geometry ends, ….etc. Fiber form Mono-filament, strands,crimped,single-knotted, …etc. Fiber surface Smoothness, coatings, ….etc. Matrix Cement type, aggregate type and grading, additie properties type, …etc. Water content, workability aids, deforming agents, Mix design fiber content,…etc. Type of matrix, sequence of adding constituents, Mixing method method of adding fibers, duration and speed of mixing, …etc. Conventional vibration, vacuum dewatering a Placing sprayed-up concrete member ,extrusion,guniting,..etc. Casting method Casting pressure, ….etc. Curing method Conventional, special method,…etc. 12 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.3.4 Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Concrete in Fresh State The incorporation of natural fiber into a mix decreases the workability and increase the void content due to entertainment of additional air(27-32). The decrease in workability is basically due to the shape of fibers (7,10) in relation to the other constituent particles in concrete . Unworkable mixes generally lead to non-uniform fiber distribution resulting in variation in properties between specimens from the same mix. The increase in void content is also due to the in adequate compaction of the unworkable mixes. The amount of fibers that can be added to a mix is limited by the phenomenon of ( balling ) where the fibers have a strong tendency to intermesh and form fiber ball which cannot be easily separated (10,33,34). The balling of fibers results in an unworkable and segregated mix which ultimately produces a highly porous and honeycombed concrete. The balling of fibers when large volume fractions are used can be reduced by reducing the coarse aggregate content(7,27,33),however, there is a limit to the volume of fibers that can be add to a mix beyond which the balling of fibers takes place and this mainly depends up on the nature of fibers, type and the mix proportion. Mixing methods have also been developed that minimizes the balling problem at a great extent (7,35,36). In order to improve the workability or to keep it constant, Aziz and Jorillo, suggested the following(10,37): 1. Increase the water/cement ratio of the mix at the expense of compressive strength. 2. Use certain admixtures which can improve the workability and strength properties of concrete. 13 Chapter Two Literature Review (38) In another study, Jorrillo and Shemizu , used fibers in saturated surface dry condition to maintain a specified water to cement ratio, and for improving the workability they used sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensates as superplasticizer. (39,40) Many other researchers achieved workable mixtures due to the use of water and superplasticizer at various contents. (25) While Gram confirmed the use of superplasticizer whenever necessary to make the fiber concrete easier to work when using cement substitute or other admixtures. (41) Admixtures: Neville define an admixture as a chemical product which, except in special cases, is added to the concrete mix in quantities no larger than (5) percent by mass of cement during mixing or during an additional mixing operation prior to the placing of concrete, for the purpose of achieving a specific modification, or modifications to the normal properties of concrete. ASTM C125 defines an admixture as a material other than water, aggregates, hydraulic cements and fiber reinforcement, used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar and added to the batch immediately before or during mixing. Admixtures, may be organic or inorganic in composition but their chemical character, as district from mineral, is their essential feature. The reason for the large growth in the use of admixtures is that they are capable of imparting considerable physical and economic benefits with respect to concrete. These benefits include the use of concrete under circumstances where previously there existed considerable, or even insuperable, difficulties. They also make possible the use of a wider range of ingredients in the mix (41). 14 Chapter Two Literature Review Admixtures are commonly classified by their function in concrete but often they exhibit some additional action. The classification of ASTM C494-92 is as shown in table (2-2) Table (2-2) Type A Water-reducing Type B Retarding Type C Accelerating Type D Water-reducing and retarding Type E Water-reducing and accelerating Type F High-rangewater-reducingor superplasticizing Type G High-range water-reducing and retarding or superplasticizing and retarding Admixtures may be used in solid or liquid state. The latter is usual because a liquid can be more rapidly dispersed in a uniform manner during mixing of concrete. Properly calibrated dispensers are used, the admixture being discharged into the mixing water, or separately in dilute form but simultaneously with the mixing water, usually during the latter part of the water feed (41). ACI committee 212 lists (20) important purposes for which admixtures are used, for example: to increase the plasticity of concrete without increasing water content, to reduce bleeding and segregation, to retard or accelerate the time of set, to accelerate the rate of strength development at early ages, to reduce the rate of heat evolution, and to (42) increase the durability of concrete to specific exposure conditions . 15 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.3.5 Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Concrete in Hardened State Important properties of the hardened fiber reinforced composites are strength, deformation under load, crack arrest energy absorption, durability, permeability and shrinkage. In general, the strength is considered to be the most important property and the quality of fiber reinforced concrete is judged mainly by their strength (10). Ultimate strength depends almost entirely up on the fiber type, length and volume fraction of fibers and also on the properties and proportion of other constituent materials (7,10,43,44). Natural fiber reinforced concrete behaves as a homogeneous material with in certain limits. The random distribution and high surface to volume ratio (specific surface) of the natural fibers, results in a better crack arresting mechanism (7,10). With low fiber contents that are normally used in cement composites (from 2% to 4% by volume) or (from 1% to 5% by volume) the strain at which the matrix cracks is little different from that observed in plain cement paste, mortars and concrete. However, once cracking has started the fibers act as crack arresters and also absorb a significant amount of energy, if they are pulled out from the matrix without breaking. Studies (27,28,29) have shown that the inclusion of short natural fibers in concrete and other cement based composite materials, increase further the first crack strength. These two properties, crack-arresting mechanism and energy absorption as the fibers pullout, make the natural fiber reinforced concrete materials tough and enable them to withstand impact for more satisfactorily than plane concrete. 16 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.4 Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Reinforced Concrete Many researches studied mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced cement based composite, containing different amount of fibers exposed to several types of curing condition. The use of leaf fibers in cement and concrete matrices has been restricted to sisal fiber. Sisal fiber is less expensive and is the most extensively cultivated hard fiber in the world. Also sisal has a good record as a reinforced in gypsum (4). (35) Nilsson reported values where the flexural strength of concrete was 20 to 25 percent by the addition of up to 4 percent by volume of sisal fiber. Swift and Smith (30) also showed that sisal additions improved the flexural strength, but the main advantage of the fiber reinforcement was that it improved the ductility of the concrete. They found that the impact strength was only marginally increased by the addition of short fibers but the use of long fibers increased the toughness by 750 percent. Many researchers studied mechanical properties of cellulose fiber reinforced composite. They made the following conclusions (39,44-47): 1. The bending and ultimate tensile strengths increase gradually with fiber mass fraction up to about 6% and then remain constant. 2. The effect of oven drying on flexural strength was statistically not significant. 3. There is a progressive increase in flexural strength and stiffness of specimens exposed to natural weathering and accelerated aging. The bending and ultimate tensile strength increases gradually with fiber mass fraction up to about 6% and then remain constant. 17 Chapter Two Literature Review 4. The small addition of fibers had little effect on the strength of concrete before and after accelerated aging condition. 5. There is a relatively small reduction in compressive strength of concrete reinforced with 1% fibers by weight of cement and exposed to accelerating aging, but not alter significantly the 28-day compressive strength. 6. There is a significant increase in flexural strength as fiber content increased. (48) Al-Noaimy , worked with date-palm fiber reinforced concrete in addition to metakaoline as a partial replacement by weight of cement as a pozzolanic material. He made the following conclusions: 1. The addition of untreated fiber reduces the compressive strength of plain concrete. While treated fibers not alter significantly the compressive strength of plain concrete. 2. The addition of date-palm fiber improved the flexural strength and splitting strength of plain concrete. 3. The compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting strength of fiber reinforced concrete was increased due to the incorporation of 10 and 30% of metakaoline as a partial replacement by weight of cement compared with plain concrete. 4. The use of high level of replacement of metakaoline (50%) reduced the compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting strength of fiber reinforced concrete compared with plain concrete. (49) Krenchel , suggested that organic fibers may be used in cement composite, but percentages of (15 to 20)% by volume are required to give the composite suitable properties. 18 Chapter Two Literature Review (32) Lewis and Mirihagalia , studied four types of natural vegetable fibers, water reed, elephant grass, plantain and musamba as a reinforcing material for cement composite. They found that the elephant grass fibers improve the flexural strength by about (65-70)% and showed the greatest promise as a reinforcing material. Short discrete cellulose fibers of vegetable origins namely jute, coir and bamboo were examined by Ramaswamy and Krishnamoorthy(50)for their suitability of incorporation in concrete. They found the following conclusions:- 1. Incorporation of these fibers improved the flexural to compressive strength ratio. 2. Compressive and tensile strength of fiber concrete are no higher than those of control concrete. 3. The optimum fiber content for compressive strength are 0.5%, 1.0% and 0.5% for jute, coir and bamboo fibers respectively. Some mechanical properties of sisal fiber reinforced cement composite were studied by Silva and Camploina (51). The specimens of their investigation were reinforced with short fibers of (2,5 and 10)cm in length. They made the following conclusions:- 1. It is possible to get an increase in compressive strength of the composite as the fiber length grows (at least up to 10 cm length). 2. There is no increase in compressive and tensile strength when 2cm length fibers were used, comparatively to the specimens with no fibers. 3. The flexural strength seems to increase as the fiber length increase until 5cm length. 19 Chapter Two Literature Review Many researchers studied the mechanical properties of coir fibers reinforced cement based composite. The following observations were made(29,37,38,52,53):- 1. The ultimate compressive strength of fiber reinforced composites with volume fractions varied from (1.5 to 6)% and fiber length of 38mm is less than that of plain cement composite and that the optimum volume fraction for good strength properties is observed to be 4.5%. 2. The tensile and flexural strength of the composite increase, with the increasing volume fraction by about 75% and 50% respectively. 3. There is nominal improvement ranging from (8 to 12)%in flexural and tensile strength, but no significant increase in compressive strength for composite reinforced with fibers at various volume fractions (0.5-2.5)%. 4. There is an increase in bending strength by about (9-10)% of coir fiber reinforced composite after thirty cycle of wetting and drying, also the composite showed no delimitation or disintegration after two hundred hours boiling in water. Sharman and Vantier (54), worked with wood fiber reinforced cement based composite exposed to accelerated aging. They found the following conclusions: 1. There is an increase in bending strength of specimens exposed to hot water-soak method up to 20 days, but no further changes was evident between 20 and 350 days. 2. There is an increase in bending strength of specimens exposed to (0) and (10) cycles of wetting, freezing and drying, but no further change between (10) and (50) cycles. 20 Chapter Two Literature Review (55) Raouf and Al-Ansarri , used reeds as coarse aggregate with reeds to cement ratio from (3 to 2.5)% of cement content by weight. They found that the compressive strength decrease as the reeds to cement ratio increase. While Abdel-Azim(56), studied some mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with palm tree frond fibers. He found that the immersion of these fibers in a cement solution of (50)gm ement and (100)ml water one hour before mixing, increase the tensile and compressive. On the other hand Al-Numan and Al-Jumaily(57), examined the possibility of utilizing two types of date palm tree wastes, one is the date raceme and the other is palm leave, their investigation include studying the mechanical properties of two types of fiber reinforced concrete (date raceme and palm leave concretes) for different ratios of (waste fiber/cement) by weight. They made the following conclusions:- 1. Compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths of fiber concrete was not higher than that of plain concrete. 2. The reduction in compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths of palm leave concrete increase by about (60-70)%, 96% and 57% respectively. 3. The reduction in compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths of date raceme concrete increases tensile by about (45-60)%, 90% and (25-50)% respectively as the fiber content increase. 4. The strength of date raceme concrete is higher than that of palm leave concrete. 21 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.5 Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity The non-destructive test of concrete becomes very important as a (58) means of assessing existing structures before their failure . The dynamic modulus of elasticity is amore appropriated method for structures subjected to earthquake or impact loading (42). (48) Al-Noaimy , found that the addition of date- palm fiber and metakaoline reduce the dynamic modulus of elasticity of plain concrete. While Akers and Studinka (59), found that the modulus of elasticity of cellulose fiber reinforced cement based composites increase with age, and the increase dependent on the type of composite tested. Some investigators (37,38) studied the dynamic modulus of elasticity of coir fiber reinforced cement composite. They observed that the effect of fiber addition to the modulus of elasticity is negligible for fiber content up to 1.0%, however a marked reduction can be seen at a fiber volume of 2.5%. In another study several types of natural fibers for reinforcing the cement composite were used by Ramirez (60). He observed that the modulus of elasticity of rice straw and coconut was higher than the other fibers, and decreased as fiber content increase. 2.6 Drying Shrinkage of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Shrinkage cracking is the major disadvantage of concrete structures especially for walls, slabs and pavements. Addition of short randomly distributed fibers can reduce effect. The efficiency of cellulose fiber to arresting cracks in cementitous (46) composites was studied by Sarigaphuti and vinson , they observed that the addition of 1% cellulose fiber by weight of cement showed excellent performance in controlling shrinkage cracking compared with unreinforced concrete. 22 Chapter Two Literature Review Hussain (61), observed that the free Shrinkage of concrete remains the same, but crock propagation is arrested and width of cracks is minimized and evenly distributed so that they are invisible. While Ramaswamy and krishramoorthy(50), used three type of vegetable fibers, jute , coir , and bamboo, they found that the fiber concrete generally exhibited lower shrinkage compared to plain concrete, since, jute and coir fiber concrete exhibited at 60 days a shrinkage of about 50% and 70% of plain concrete. Cook and Weerasingle (29), observed that the percentage of shrinkage increase as fiber volume fraction and length increased by about (30-43)% and (10-25)% respectively. 2.7 The Bauxite Bauxite can be define as a mineral raw material composed principally of one or more hydrated aluminium oxide minerals and impurities of silica, iron oxide, titania and elements in minor and trace amounts (62). The hydrated aluminium oxide minerals are gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore as shown in Table (2-3). Table (2-3) Maim components of bauxite Properties Gibbsite Boehmite Diaspore Chemical Formula Al2O3.3H2O Al2O3.H2O Al2O3.H2O Alumina Content % 65.4 85 85 Combined Water 34.6 15 15 Content % Crystal System Mono clinic Orthorhombic - Hardness (Mohs Scale) 2.3-3.5 3.5-5 6.5-7 Specific Density Kg/m3 2.3-2.4 3.01-3.06 3.3-3.5 23 Chapter Two Literature Review 2.7.1 Bauxite Deposit in Iraq Bauxite deposit was discovered in north Wadi Hussainiyat in the Western Desert of Iraq throughout the study of Mustafa (63,64). It is of karst type formed on the irregular surface of limestone of Ubaid formation. Flint clay, blastic clay (kaoline) are associated with bauxite. Bauxite is of different chemical composition and the degree of Bauxitization is variable. The allumina content of bauxite deposit range from 42% up to 66% depending up on the contaminant minerals and the degree of Bauxitzation. The deposit is characterized by a core of high alumina content up to 67% Al2O3, surrounded by clay with lower alumina content ( flint clay ) and plastic clay. The major mineral of Bauxite is Bohemite (Al 2O3.H2O) with a minor Gibbsite mixed with kaolinite and Anatase (64). 2.7.2 Pozzolans It is a natural or artificial material containing silica in reactive form. A more formal definition of ASTM 618-94a describes pozzolana as a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material which in it self possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties (42). For an assessement of pozzolanic activity with cement, ASTM C311-94a prescribes the measurement of a strength activity index. This is established by the determination of strength of mortar with a specified replacement of cement by pozzolana. The outcome of the test is influenced by the cement used, especially its fineness and alkali content. There is also 24 Chapter Two Literature Review a pozzolanic activity index with lime, which determines the total activity of pozzolna (41). 2.8 Dynamic Properties of Concrete Dynamic properties refer to all the properties that are concluded by using the non-destructive dynamic tests or more specifically the vibration tests, one of these properties are, dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity (65). 2.8.1 Non-Destructive Testing of Concrete The non-destructive test can be defined as the test that is used without harming the sample or structure, and without affecting its properties or uses. This definition includes also several tests that use different techniques, vibration tests are considered the most important test in the non-destructive tests and the most oldest ones that their first use belongs to the thirties. The importance of these tests lies in the possibility of using some of their kinds as the method of ultrasonic vibration in the location, in order to gain some information about the quality of the concrete sample and its homogeneity exactly as it is in the structure, unlike the other traditional tests that depends on a limited number of samples that may not represent the quality of the concrete in the location. As well as the new attitude now a days in the quality control depends on the statistical analysis of the results that requires providing a large number of samples, and this process in turn, requires long time and it may be expensive if the traditional test are used (65). 25 Chapter Two Literature Review In this research two kinds of the non-destructive tests have been used: ultrasonic pulse velocity, which through it the velocity of the ultrasonic of the ultrasonic vibration were measured inside the concrete, and ultimately knowing the concrete quality. Resonant frequency test was used to give the modulus of dynamic elasticity of the concrete. Concrete quality can be divided generally according to the velocity of the ultrasonic vibration. 2.8.2 Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (U.P.V.) The ultrasonic test is useful tool for assessing the uniformity of concrete and detecting cracks voids or honeycombing. It gives useful information about the size of micro-cracked zone and on crack growth and the interior structure of the concrete element (65,67,68). The pulse velocity of concrete is affected by variety of factors. The composition and maturity of concrete, the geometry of section being tested, and conditions at test time all affect the measured pulse velocity of portland cement concrete (69,70). Ultrasonic pulse velocity test is the one of the non-destructive tests(65,41). It is suitable and practical to be applied to its trustworthy results. Several material properties and characteristics could be obtain by adopting this test, such as, Poisson's ratio, dynamic elastic modulus, dynamic shear modulus, stiffness constant in addition, that it could be used to detect the presence of cracks and to determining their depth (65). The ultrasonic waves usually are having frequencies that are beyond (65,71) the range of human hearing (20 KHz-3 MHz) . Generating and detection technique of such waves for ultrasonic pulse velocity is commonly utilized by special devices consisting of piezoelectric crystals 26 Chapter Two Literature Review which convert electrical energy into acoustical energy and visa versa, such devices are called " electro-acoustical transducers "(72). The testing technique is conducted by measuring the pulse velocity of the ultrasonic wave in accordance to the duration of the time needed for the pulse to travel in a certain length of tested media from the transmitting transducer to the receiving transducer (72). The arrangement of the transducers on the surface of specimen to be tested could be in three different methods, the direct method, the semi direct method and the indirect method, Figure (2-3). The direct and semi direct method, are commonly used except in few cases where it is more convenient to use indirect transmission arrangement. This is when only one face of the tested specimen is accessible. For direct transmission arrangement, only longitudinal waves prevail and the pulse velocity is independent on the frequency of the pulse. While for semi-direct and indirect arrangement a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves prevails and the pulse velocity depends on the frequency of the pulse(65). Table (2-4) shows the classification of concrete according to the velocity of ultrasonic. Table (2-4) Classification of concrete (66) Velocity Km/sec Concrete Type Excellent More than 4.58 Good 3.66-4.75 Accepted 3.05-3.66 Week 3.00-2.14 Very week Less than 2.14 27 Chapter Two Literature Review Figure (2-3) Methods of testing 2.8.3 Resonant Frequency Test In some cases, it is desirable to determine the progressive changes in the state of a concrete specimen. This can be done by determining the fundamental resonant frequency of the specimen at appropriate stage of the investigation. From this frequency, the dynamic modulus of elasticity of the concrete can be calculated (41). 28

LA Weekly's Description
Apart from the view, the best reason to come to Water Grill in Santa Monica is the raw bar. There's a fantastic selection of oysters, and the iced shellfish platters both here and downtown are one of L.A.'s great treats. The smallest (dubbed "the Grand") is one of the few things on the menu that could be described as a bargain: For $39, you get four oysters, two cherrystone clams, two Peruvian scallops, six shrimp, six mussels, half a lobster and a smattering of periwinkles that you pry from their shells with tiny plastic picks. It's enough to satisfy two people easily, an affordable indulgence. Water Grill's greatest strength, the quality of its product, is evident here: sweet, tender lobster meat; fat, briny oysters; mussels and shrimp that pop with freshness. That freshness carries over to the rest of the menu, where you can order just about any type of fish or shellfish, prepared simply or as a composed dish. Besha Rodell

newboy chapter 43 . 10/14/2013 So the end is coming, I can only imagine what Voldemort has planned for stonhenge, considering he was always considered a genius it has to be somthing big if it has kept him preoqupied all these years. I can also only imagine everyones reaction about harry being the hocrux, they will range between devestated, and beyond angry. I actually hope Anko is one of the ninja that goes with them, as quite frankly she ows harry an aoplogy, and this would really drive home to her that he was nothing like Orochimaru. Not to mention someone should tell the shinobi exactly what harry had to fight against while growing up. There are a lot of things that harry never said, and it is really time that the truth, all of it gets released into the open. For the record I would like to say that I only just read this story today, and I like where it is going, the only thing is I really hope that you have Voldemort doing somthing truly earth shattering at stonehenge, because nothing else would explain him being quiet for 20 years without any sign of him. |
Q.Q chapter 1 . 9/23/2013 I hope you can come up with a good reason for Orochimaru to make a very short visit to Harry while having to complete an apparently very long and difficult journey. It seems unfounded and just overall not Orochimaru-y enough. Luckily the story is well written, though you could have tried to build it on something a little less unbelievable. Q.Q |

Venus914 chapter 3 . 9/5/2013 Bill's feelings or Harry's cold treatment of him isnt that big of a deal. He didn't die, did he? Im more concerned about the innocent monks. |
Reader-anonymous-writer chapter 43 . 8/29/2013 xyz "Tell your master that the ninja Ookami is here to see him as agreed upon a year earlier." Harry said and made very certain not to talk in Parseltongue. Verry amused. xyz Harry-nii-san needed their help and there was no way that Kimimaro was going to not answer this call. Interesting.
