The rug is beautiful and proved to be a great gift for my daughter-in-law for her newly painted kitchen!!!! The problem was the rug company . They sent me the wrong color rug twice AND Overstock handled the mistake quickly and professionally! I would recommend this rug .
This rug is great! The picture should really be updated to show the true colors of this rug which are autumn like colors; rust, green and tan, with dark blue/navy around the edges. The pattern is the same as pictured. The main color is rust. The quality is nice for what I paid and using a rug pad underneath helps to keep it from sliding. I wish they had this rug in a larger size.
I ordered this rug to coordinate with 2 runners I had previously purchased. I was not disappointed when I unrolled the 3 X 5 rug as it's colors and patterns were spot on with the previously purchased rugs. The quality of this family of rugs is excellent and I sure we will enjoy them all for decades to come!
This rug is beautiful and seems very well made, but it is not red or navy. The one I received has the exact same design as the one pictured, but in the colors rust and forest green. I like it anyway and will probably keep it, but wanted to alert others that the colors are nothing like what is pictured and described.

At Animus CrossFit/Corporal CrossFit, students of every skill level, age, and body type can take control of their health with the help of encouraging coaches. The team of qualified trainers draw on intense training experiences in their own lives, such as strength coach and author Carlos Arias's service in the USMC special forces, his wife Jenny's background as a gymnast, or coach Dayron Castaneda's career in collegiate football. The team prides itself on providing one-on-one training and keeping classes small: staff lead premium CrossFit with 1:8 teacher/student ratios, avoiding the overcrowded classes, lack of equipment, and gym-clothes sharing seen in traditional programs. And indoor-outdoor bootcamp classes take advantage of sunny Miami days while avoiding wet ones by training indoors on grass turf or rubber flooring. The small, 16-person classes tailor exercise individually according to skill level and keep things interesting with a combination of gymnastics and running using balls and ropes.
Students shed pounds and tone muscles in programs that are built on proper nutrition and individual, scalable workout routines. Whether pupils are burning fat and building endurance with cardio routines and kettlebells, boosting strength with weightlifting, or refining their running techniques with pose running, coaches work closely with students to help them push past obstacles and reach health goals.
By immersing their students in the art of hairstyling, aesthetics, and massage therapy, Florida's Beauty Schools of America ensures the next generation of beauty experts maximizes their potential. Courses cover the latest in nail art technology, emerging hair removal techniques, and the telltale signs that a toad is actually an enchanted prince. Students don't only learn in the classroom, but develop real-world skills by practicing their craft on clients. Through this symbiotic relationship, students become the best stylists they can be and leave the classroom prepared to impress.
Miami Exotic Workouts Pole Fitness believes getting fit doesn't require spending hours in a gym and performing monotonous exercises. Through their pole-fitness classes, which range from beginner's to advanced sessions, and their alternative-fitness classes, such as Booty Aerobics and Sexi Flexi, they help ladies burn calories and strengthen muscles without lifting a single weight. That's not to say the studio's workouts aren't challenging. Classes such as Pole Kitten require students to suspend themselves in the air simply with their thigh muscles, and Sexy Chair Fitness & Pole combine a variety of exercises that test students' leg and ab muscles for a full 60 minutes. If the studio and a traditional gym do share one quality, it's the confidence that they instill in their clients. Miami Exotic members come away with a boost in their self-esteem, making it easier for them to confront the banana spider that's taken over their living room.
Leo Quintero knows firsthand the thrill of playing music onstage. As a professional guitarist, composer, recording artist, and producer, he has shredded his six-string in front of dancing crowds from Venezuela to Florida. At Leo Quintero Music, he guides his charges from the classroom to the stage, helping them begin their musical journeys or fine-tune their licks in guitar-focused classes. Students 6 years and older can study scales and chord progressions alongside other beginners during group classes. Private lessons pair Leo with just one student, eliminating the temptation to pass notes to their friends asking what fork they used for lunch. Leo also takes pride in helping his pupils prepare for college auditions.
Amid dim lighting, candles, and soothing music, Ayama Yoga and Healing Arts creates an atmosphere for healing and personal transformation. You can choose from a variety of yoga styles, including energizing flow classes and gentle therapeutic sessions that employ an assortment of props for support. Along with classes, the studio hosts events such as workshops and reiki circles. These and other offerings—including acupuncture, emotional release bodywork, and chakra readings—help clients center their energy and improve wellbeing.
Established for more than 30 years, Olympia Gym is more than just a fitness facility with cutting-edge equipment and classes—it's home to family-oriented staffers who truly go out of their way to help others. Owners Delia and Peter Cicale have sought out new and innovative ways to get people into shape, such as Hoist Roc-It machines that adjust to users' movements, kids' karate classes, and Power Plate vibration training that enhances the ability to high-five a jackhammer operator. Their training services are performed by industry experts, including a kickboxing champion and second-degree blackbelt, and they employed Beto Perez as an instructor before he created the international dance-fitness sensation known as Zumba.
But beyond the gym's impressive list of credentials are real, compassionate people. In 1998, the Sun Sentinel documented that the Cicales and their generous aerobics and spinning students raised more than $3,000 in a single Labor Day for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. More recently, the couple hosted three annual events to support breast-cancer awareness. And an article in The Miami Herald reported on two staff members' cross-country bike journey to raise funds for and increase awareness about Parkinson's disease. The trip was planned by Roy Roden, who suffers from the neurodegenerative brain disorder and still works at the gym part time, and his wife Lynn, who is a personal trainer. Gaby Senior specializes in training people with illnesses or age-related concerns such as osteoporosis. Whatever your fitness and health struggles, the gym's down-to-earth crew is likely to understand them.

NEW YORK — The friendly-fire shooting that cost a Long Island cop his life was a point-blank blunder that started when a retired cop with no business at the scene yelled, "Gun," an official said yesterday.
Geoffrey Breitkopf, 40, was shot and killed Saturday by an MTA cop responding to a call at a Massapequa Park house where Nassau police had killed a knife-wielding Satan worshipper.
By Selim AlgarNew York PostNEW YORK — The ex-cop who yelled "gun" before a Long Island police officer was killed in a "friendly fire" shooting is a retired NYPD veteran who has an annoying habit of listening to scanners and racing to locations where police are called, sources said yesterday. John Carafella, 58 - a former Emergency Service Unit sergeant out of East New York - has spent his three-year retirement nosing around crime scenes and offering unwanted help, the sources said.

Are Our Digital Habits Making Us Dumber?
By David Houle
Oprah.com | June 18, 2010
Information has never been easier to get, but is it doing us any good? Futurist
David Houle
puts our national addiction to the Internet in historical context.
Recently, there's been a lot of discussion that asks whether our growing addiction to all things digital is making us dumber. Commentators—including President Barack Obama—have addressed how adults are increasingly suffering from digital distraction and losing the ability to focus for extended periods of time. They wonder out loud about what they see as a growing superficiality in the population and a hyperactive need to constantly be checking computers and handheld devices.
Parents express concern to me that their kids seem unable to quietly focus on one thing or that they can't seem to live without being constantly connected to their friends via ever-present digital devices. We all are beginning to wonder if there is some detrimental effect we have or will soon suffer.
I am not talking about the lunacy of texting while driving. Oprah has correctly led a high-profile effort to keep us all from this dangerous behavior. Would you read a book while driving? Would you be flipping through a magazine with the other hand on the wheel? Of course not! Texting while driving is the same thing, doing something other than completely focusing on the activity of driving a vehicle. That is not the subject of this column.
The Internet, the connectivity all our digital devices provide us and the ever increasing new ways to combine these forces is one of the most transformative events in the history of human communication. It has, is and will profoundly change our lives, individually and collectively. It is here to stay and will only increase in speed, magnitude and effect going forward. It is a force that can positively transform us in the coming decade. I will speak to this vision in future columns.
Every time there is a new, transforming technology, it always causes concern. When Gutenberg invented the movable type press in 1455, the decades that followed were full of consternation. What would reading do to the acquisition of knowledge? At that time, the common belief was that one could not learn unless one wrote things down and that reading would never become a way to learn. This position was propagated by the entrenched interests at the time—the scribes who wrote all the manuscripts.
A century ago, when the telephone first started to become widely used, the dominant question was that people would get overwhelmed with information and wouldn't be able to cope. When radio—the first electronic medium—started to quickly spread across the world, some thought it would destroy the family way of life as then lived, bringing the world into the home and, with it, the outside influences and different ways of looking at the world.
When television took off in the United States between 1947 and 1955, there were loud social ruminations about how it would kill reading and that literacy rates would go down as everyone lost the desire to read. Around this same time, there were two new art forms that were clearly going to lead to the destruction of the moral fabric: comic books and rock 'n' roll. While these were not new technologies, they were social phenomenon based on technologies. But the point here is clear: When anything new, anything that is different from the norms of society starts to take off, it causes an overreaction as to the detrimental effects it will have on our society and on us as individuals. In the decades since portable radios (I remember carrying around a transistor radio listening to John Glenn orbit the earth; shows how old I am!) and television became part of American culture, IQ scores have continually risen. So, by the acceptable measurements of brain science, we are smarter today than we were before television came along.
One of the criticisms of our addiction to digital devices is that we are constantly checking them for email, texts and notifications, feeling the need to constantly be in connection with others. That's certainly true, but it's not something surprising. Whenever some new technology comes along that expands our ability to see beyond our physical reality, it initially transfixes us. I have heard and read numerous stories about the early days of television. When the first store in town would get one and put it in the store window, people actually stood in front of the store watching test patterns! Each technology initially transfixes us, then we incorporate it into our lives and move on with greater connectivity and awareness of the world we can't see or touch.
One of the key criticisms of our use of the Internet is that we are becoming superficial, jumping around from website to website. Our incessant use of search engines is looked at as being superficial. But think of it another way: For the first time in human history, most of the knowledge of the world is now available at our fingertips. Everything I want to know about anything in the world is right here on the computer screen or the tablet screen or the smart phone or the app phone. How could I not jump around? To have the ability to search for just about anything and find it instantaneously makes the acquisition of knowledge and information immediate and available to anyone with an Internet connection. Few scholars in recorded history have ever had that opportunity. Now, it's a reality for us all. No wonder we're drunk with the wonderful access of it all!
Has digital connectivity made you more productive and efficient or less? Do you feel more knowledgeable and connected with true friends who don't live near you...or more superficial and isolated?
David Houle is an award-winning futurist and strategist who has launched successful brands and is an in-demand speaker about the future. He writes the popular futurist blog
Evolution Shift
and lives his life slightly ahead of the curve.

House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence published a piece on the Daily Caller today regarding his Spending Limit Amendment with Congressman Jeb Hensarling. Read an excerpt here:
A crisis is quickly approaching that will undermine the strength of our country and rob our children of their future prosperity. When it comes to getting our nation's fiscal house in order we are running out of options and the time to act is now.
Over the last five years, annual spending by the federal government increased from roughly $2.5 trillion to over $3.5 trillion. This year the government is expected to spend a record $1.6 trillion more than it will collect in revenue and public debt will exceed the value of the entire economy by 2023. The rising costs of health care and the entitlements promised to the retiring Baby Boomer generation are leading causes of this national emergency. But there are other forces at work as well.
After a decade of runaway federal spending, the appetite in Washington to spend without regard to the taxpayer is still strong. Lawmakers from both political parties have broken their promises for fiscal responsibility and therefore have broken all historical records for deficits and debt. Our children will soon pay the price.
It is time to fundamentally change the way Washington spends taxpayer money and establish constitutional safeguards that will force the federal government to live within reasonable means. That is why I am proud to join Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) in proposing the Spending Limit Amendment.

Chocolatiers in NYC?
I loved Richart for their intense, bitter dark chocolate. Kron's chocolate has wonderful champagne truffles but is a bit of a schlep. Fauchon has left New York and Payard has closed. I still fancy Maison du Chocolat and used to like Jacques Torres back in the day after Teuscher lost its way. Bespoke and quirky Vosges have their place but there is one chocolatier to rule them all.
Kee's Chocolate has supplanted all others in my addiction to chocolate. Unless they are closed or geographically impossible, I always go to Kee's. In fact, I'd often rather not have chocolate than eat something so incredibly inferior to Kee's.
Check out the chocolate show website--I think they have a list of exhibitors and some are in Manhattan. www.chocolateshow.com.
Michel Cluizel is one of the best in the world. One of the few 'bean to bon bon' producers. He has just two locations in the whole world: on the Rue Saint Honore in Paris, and in the back of ABC on Broadway. Go in and walk all the way to the back and head down the stairs. It's like a little chocolate jewel box.
I also second Marie Belle. The chocolates are made with Valrhona, but are really well done and the little cafe is lovely. Get the European hot chocolate.
@ ABC Carpet & Home
888 Broadway (at 19th Street), 1st floor
New York, NY 10003
re: bellasarinha
2nd Michel Cluizel! His bar, the one called noir au grué de cacao, is dark chocolate with cocoa bits...intense chocolate with chocolate crunch...simply superb!
I found it in my supermarket but Amazon has it too...
Kee's chocolates on Thomson St. near Spring has fantastic chocolates - much better than Jacques Torres. They are hand made every day and have a range of flavours such as creme caramel and balsamic
re: Bydand16
Kee's is good if you're looking for exotic flavors; Torres is better for straight chocolate (although the spiced "wicked" chocolate is particularly good); take a hot chocolate break if you go there.
For classic Belgian-style shaped and filled chocolates, I like Martine (the 82nd street location), while for French-style, I prefer La Maison du Chocolat. I also like the champagne truffles at Teuscher.
There are many good chocolatiers in NYC - try them all!
Here is a map of some of the notable Chocolatiers in New York:
Use it to plan a walking tour of NYMy hands-down fave is Richart Design et Chocolat on 55th St. just east of 5th Ave. Before going on your safari, take a moment to read their instructions for tasting chocolate at:
Really. It will open new worlds of chocolate for you. -
Pierre Marcolini...Lots of excellent chocolate in the city, some of it highly hyped, but chocolate simply doesn't get any better than this...at 58th Street & Park Ave...
Only some help since I cannot remember the name -- but in the financial district, there's a NYC "local" fudge/candy shop that is fantastic -- a little shop -- a woman's name...but I can't remember details (within a few blocks of Ground Zero) ... maybe someone else knows
re: Pat Hammond
I think Evelyn's is still there on John off Broadway. Rocky Mountain is long gone but they are a chain and are in many malls outside of New York. If Christopher Norman is still down there, near the stock exchange definitely take a look. www.echocolatenyc.com has got a list of stores in Manhattan.
Jacques Torres chocolates are delicious. And local. Here's his website:
Enjoy your visit.

A rollicking, adventure-filled story . . . packed [with] the human capacity for love.
USA Today

A superbly executed, good-hearted farce that is part romance and part mystery . . . With Tans many talents on display, its her idiosyncratic wit and sly observations . . . that make this book pure pleasure.
San Francisco Chronicle

San Francisco art patron Bibi Chen has planned a journey of the senses along the famed Burma Road for eleven lucky friends. But after her mysterious death, Bibi watches aghast from her ghostly perch as the travelers veer off her itinerary and embark on a trail paved with cultural gaffes and tribal curses, Buddhist illusions and romantic desires. On Christmas morning, the tourists cruise across a misty lake and disappear.

With picaresque characters and mesmerizing imagery, Saving Fish from Drowning gives us a voice as idiosyncratic, sharp, and affectionate as the mothers of The Joy Luck Club. Bibi is the observant eye of human naturethe witness of good intentions and bad outcomes, of desperate souls and those who wish to save them. In the end, Tan takes her readers to that place in their own heart where hope is found.

Amy Tan is among our great storytellers.
The New York Times Book Review

Amy Tan has created an almost magical adventure that, page by page, becomes a metaphor for human relationships.
Isabel Allende

With humor, ruthlessness, and wild imagination, Tan has reaped [a] fantastic tale of human longings and (of course) their consequences.
Elle

A book thats easy to read and hard to forget.

The skirt is pulled up way too high and I can't say I'm a huge fan of the fabrics. However, it looks modcloth worthy and I'm sure someone out there would like this! It has style potential. Good enough!
...whoa, there.
I agree with Ashley, I like the sleeves, but the skirt shape and floral pattern combo with the high waistline has got to be unflattering

Dark Water is a 2005 American horror-thriller film directed by Walter Salles, starring Jennifer Connelly and Tim Roth. The film is a remake of the 2002 Japanese film of the same name, and also stars John C. Reilly, Pete Postlethwaite, Perla Haney-Jardine, and Ariel Gade.
The film was released on July 8, 2005, and grossed almost $50 million worldwide.[2]
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (September 2011) |
The film opens in 1974, as a young girl, Dahlia, stands outside after school in the rain, waiting for her mother.
Flash forward to 2005, the audience sees a grown-up Dahlia (Jennifer Connelly) in the midst of a bitter mediation with ex-husband, Kyle (Dougray Scott), over custody of their daughter, Cecilia (Ariel Gade). Kyle wants Cecilia to live closer to his apartment in Jersey City, but Dahlia wants to move to Roosevelt Island, where she has found a good school. Kyle threatens to sue for full custody because he feels the distance is too great. He also claims that Dahlia is "mentally unstable."
Dahlia and Cecilia see an apartment in a complex on Roosevelt Island, which is just a few blocks from Cecilia's new school. The superintendent of the dilapidated building is Mr. Veeck (Pete Postlethwaite). The manager is Mr. Murray (John C. Reilly). During the tour, Cecilia sneaks to the roof where she finds a Hello Kitty backpack near a large water tank. They leave the bag with Veeck, and Murray promises Cecilia that she can have it if no one claims it. Cecilia, who had disliked the apartment, now wants desperately to live there. Dahlia agrees to move in.
Shortly after, the bedroom ceiling begins to leak dark water. The source is the apartment above, 10F, where the Rimsky family lived up until a month ago. Dahlia enters 10F and finds it flooded, with dark water flowing from every faucet, the walls and toilet. She finds a family portrait of the former tenants—a mother, father, and a girl Cecilia's age. Dahlia complains to both Veeck and Murray about the water, but the former does little about it despite the insistence of the latter. Dahlia soon has dreams of a little girl who appears to be Cecilia returning from a visit to her father's home, but the girl's appearance changes every time Dahlia looks away, so that she looks like the girl in the portrait in 10F.
Cecilia has started school, but according to her new teacher (Camryn Manheim), she isn't fitting in and is spending too much time with an imaginary friend named Natasha. A psychologist is recommended, but Dahlia declines and tells Cecilia to ignore Natasha. Although Veeck had said it was claimed, Dahlia discovers the Hello Kitty backpack in the laundry room's garbage. Cecilia later finds it in the elevator. The name in the backpack reads "Natasha Rimsky".
The ceiling, shoddily patched by Veeck, leaks again. At school, Cecilia appears to get into a fight with Natasha, who appears to control her hand while painting. She's taken to the girls' bathroom where she passes out after dark water gushes from the toilets and sinks. Dahlia, who is meeting with her lawyer, can't be reached, so Kyle picks her up and takes her to his apartment.
Dahlia breaks down when she can't find her daughter and has strange dreams. These lead her to the roof and up the ladder of the water tank, where she finds Natasha's body. When police arrive, they discover the horrible truth and Veeck is arrested for his negligence. He was aware of her body, which was why he refused to fix the water problem plaguing the complex. While Murray is questioned, Dahlia and her lawyer discovers with cold irony that Natasha's parents had left her behind. While her parents assumed they were with another parent, Natasha was left to fend for herself and it led to her eventual death.
Dahlia agrees to move closer to Kyle so shared custody will go easier. As Dahlia packs, Cecilia is taking a bath. A girl in a hooded bathrobe comes out of the bathroom, wanting Dahlia to read to her. When she hears voices in the bathroom, she realizes that the girl is Natasha. Natasha begs Dahlia not to leave her, but Dahlia rushes into the bathroom to save Cecilia. Natasha then locks Cecilia in the shower compartment and holds her underwater. Dahlia pleads with Natasha to let her daughter go, promising to be her mother forever. Natasha lets Cecilia go and floods the apartment, causing Dahlia to die from drowning. Her and Natasha's spirits are shown walking down the hallway.
Kyle picks up Cecilia from the police station. Weeks later, the two go back to pick up the rest of her belongings. Cecilia has a flashback of her and her mother looking at pictures together, and in the elevator, her mother's ghost braids her hair and comforts her—telling her she will always be there. Kyle, momentarily horrified with a malfunction in the elevator, the weird behavior of his daughter, and perhaps noticing her hair had been braided, finally takes her to his apartment in Jersey City.

Ceder- 'j quist, Nasbypark, and Rolf Berti] Reinhall, Lidingo, Sweden, assignors to Defibrator Aktiebolag, Stockholm, Sweden, a corporation of Sweden Filed Nov. 23, 1964, Ser. No. 413,207 Claims priority, application Sweden, Mar. 10, 1964, 2,986/64 4 Claims. (Cl. 241-17) This invention relates to a method of cooling pulp suspensions in grinding and refining operations. Experiments carried out in both laboratory and factory scale have shown that the'grinding of pulps rich in hemicellulose and lignin in refiners of various types, such as disc refiners, for example, must be conducted below 100 C. if the grinding result shall become satisfying from the viewpoint of paper manufacture. The pulp types contemplated here comprise all kinds of sernichemical, chemomechanical and mechanical pulp made of wood chips which are produced with high yield ranging from 75 to 95 percent and contain a substantial quantity of lignin and'hemicellulose. When using as starting material in the grinding and refining processes a spruce stock produced with a yield of 94 percent'by'decomposition of wood chips impregnated with 1 percent sulfite, calculated as Na O, and heated under pressure at 175 C. in a steam atmosphere during two" minutes and thereafter defibrated under prevailing pressure and temperature according to the Asplund or Defibrator method, one will observe that the grinding process becomes quite different if the grinding is effected Within the temperature range from 20 to 100 C. or if effected in the temperature range from 100 to 150 C. 1 In the grinding of the stock specified above in a pulp suspension having a concentration of 12 percent and an average temperature of about 60 C. in a refiner of specific type the freeness of the pulp decreased from 720 to 295 CSF within 15 minutes. If the same processing was, however, conducted at an average temperature of 125 C. the freeness value was lowered in 15 minutes to 680 CSF only and after additional 15 minutes to 630 CSF. At temperatures exceeding 100 'C. the pulp proved to encounter much difficulty in becoming. subjected to refining. An inspection under a microscope of the ground pulp shows distinct differences between cold refined and warm refined pulps. Cold refined pulp shows better fibrillation and contains-a-substantially minor quantity of torn-off fibers. -It is known since long time ago that lignin in moist state'begins to soften at a temperature of about 100 C. However, not until quite recently it has been discovered that the hemicellulose also softens and that this transformation sets in at a temperature of 50 to 60. Concern ing the stocks of the kinds in consideration here it appears suspension rises. In many cases this rise may become so high that the temperature range is reached within which the refining of the fibers is impossible to be conducted in a satisfying manner. In the grinding and refining of highly diluted fiber suspensions having for example a concentration of 6- percent and lower, a cooling is usually not necessary due to the great heat capacity of the pulp suspension which prevents the temperature from rising too much. If in the case in consideration a cooling nevertheless becomes necessary or desirable, such cooling can be effected very simply in an indirect way by means of heat exchanges because said suspensions have a relatively low viscosity and are easy to be pumped. In modern practice, however, it is necessary that the grinding and refining of semi-chemical pulps and mechanical pulps is conducted with the pulps having a high concentration of between about 10 and percent. Under these conditions the grinding result becomes the optimum regarding the properties of the pulps for paper manufacture and the consumption of energy for attaining a predetermined freeness. The tem perature rise is then liable to become considerable and a cooling will become necessary. Due to the high viscosity of the pulp suspension and suspensions of high concentration the indirect cooling method mentioned herein'before cannot be applied without expensive technical arrangements. One main object of the invention is to overcome the difficulties set forth in a novel way by providing a method which renders poscomprises between 35 and 45 material, is in a plastic state at temperature about or immediately above 100 C. and that at a temperature of C. already part of the 'intercellular substance has begun to be converted into an amorphous plastic mass. Itis probable that this plastic state drastically obstructs the fibrillation and prolongs the grinding time required for attaining a desired or predetermined freeness. It has also been established that the temperature in grinding and refining processes must not exceed 100 C. and suitably not surpass C. The best results have been attained with temperatures not exceeding 60 to 70 C. In the grinding of a fiber suspension practically all the mechanical energy supplied is practically totally converted into heat resulting in'that the temperature of the fiber percent of the total fiber which form part of this specification sible to keep the pulp suspensions during the grinding and refining treatment at temperature not exceeding the critical value set forth above. my Experimentshave established that a simple and effec tive cooling of pulp suspensions in grinding and refining processes can be brought about by conducting the grinding operation under a negative pressure. It is thus a further object of the invention to provide a method and means permitting the grinding operation to be conducted under negative pressure. By choosing a suitable difficulties encountered in adjusting the temperature to any desired value between 20 and C. the developed heat is removed as vapor enthalpy and a constant temperature equivalent with the boiling point of the water at the prevailing negative pressure can be maintained for the suspension. Consequently, it is a still further object of the invention to provide a method of grinding and refining pulp suspensions allowing the suspensions during the entire grinding and refining operation' to be kept at any desired more or less constant temperature between 20 and 100 C. How this cooling can be realised in practice depends on the'type of refiners and whether or not continuous grinding shall' be applied. It is thus a still further object of the invention to provide a method of cooling pulp; suspensions in grinding and refining treatment in response to the type employed of refiners and the processing method. Y Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, considered in connection with the accompanying drawings and of whichz FIG. 1 is a more or less diagrammatical'lateral eleva; tion of a plant constructed according to the invention. FIG. 2 is a similar lateral elevation of a plant according to a modified embodiment of the invention; FIG. 3 is a sectional view line III-III of FIG. 2. The embodiment according to FIG. 1 illustrates a re fining operation carried out in three stepswith a coolingby applying negative pressure to the two last steps thereof. The refining is intended to be effected in a disc refiner negative pressure there areno difficulties in pumping pulpon a larger scale following with a chemo-mechanical spruce stock manufactured in the manner described hereinbefore and with the same yield. The freeness of the defibrated pulp is about 720 CSF and the pulp shall be ground and refined to a freeness value of 150 CSF. In the grinding and refining to a freeness of 150 CSF totally 700 kwh. are consumed per one ton of stock which value when divided to the three steps gives about 230 kWh. per one ton of stock in each step. Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral denotes a centricleaner into which the digested pulp ground in a defibrator (not shown) is introduced through a conduit 12. The stock may be withdrawn through a sluice from the defibrator in which superatmospheric pressure exists, accompanying steam and uncondensable gases escaping from the centricleaner 10 through a pipe 14. The pulp is assumed to have a bone-dry content of about 17 percent and a temperature of 100 C. upon having left the defibrator. Cooling water having a temperature of 20 C., for example, is at the sametime supplied to the centricleaner 10 through a pipe 16 in such quantity that a pulp concentration of about 10 percent is obtained in the bin 18 disposed under the centricleaner. The suspension there has a temperature of about 40 C. Disposed in the bin 18 may be an impeller member 22 driven by an electric motor 20. If it is necessary entirelyor partly to remove the digestion chemicals prior to the refining steps such removal is most suitably efliected by washing the stock in bins, on sieves or by means of presses located between the centricleaner 10 and the bin 18. The pulp suspension is now conducted through a conduit 24 which may house a pump 26, to a first refiner 28 driven by an electric motor 30. In this refiner a grinding is effected at a temperature which must not surpass 60 C. As the substantial part of the energy supplied by the motor 30 is converted to heat, the temperature rise will thus be 20 C. This implies that the suspension must be cooled prior to, and/or under, the next grinding or refining step. In all refiners there may prevail a pressure of 1-3 kilograms per square centimeter for example. The refiners may be of the type shown and described in the US. patent specification No. 2,891,733. As mentioned already, a temperature of 60 C. exists in the discharge conduit 32 from the refiner 28. A cooling is now effected according to the invention in an evaporator 34, in which a negative pressure is maintained which in the embodiment in consideration is an absolute pressure of 55 mm. Hg corresponding to a boiling point of the water at 40 C. Preferably, a throttling or pressure reducing valve 36 is provided in the conduit 36 and further the conduit 32 may be given a height assisting in keeping a higher pressure in the refiner 28 than in the evaporator 34. The suspension is introduced tangentially into said evaporator. In the evaporator 34, so much water is evaporated that the temperature of the suspension is lowered to 40 C. The produced steam escapes through a conduit 38 to a condenser 40 fed with cooling water through a pipe 42. Said condenser 40 is through a conduit 44 in communication with a vacuum pump 46. The condensate is withdrawn from the condenser 40 through a pipe 48 which with its lower end is located below the liquid level in an open vessel 50 and which has a length resulting in a hydrostatic pressure preponderating over the negative pressure in the condsener 40. The pulp suspension cooled in the evaporator 34 is fed through a conduit 52 and a pump 53 into a second refiner 54 driven by an electric motor 56. In this second refiner a renewed grinding is effected under rise of temperature so that the pulp suspension entering the discharge conduit 58 again has been heated to 60 C. Through a conduit 60 provided with a throttle valve 62 part of the ground pulp may be returned to the evaporator 34 for repeated cooling therein and a subsequent grinding treatment in the refiner 54. The conduit 58 is through a throttle valve 64 connected to a second evaporator 66 in which a negative pressure is kept in the same manner as in the evaporator 34 to cause the pulp suspension to be cooled to 40 C. by evaporation of water. The developed vapors escape through a conduit 68 to a condenser 70 which through a conduit 72 is in connection with the vacuum pump 46 and which through the pipe 42 is supplied with cooling water. The condensate is discharged from the condenser 70 through the conduit 74 in which a liquid column is built up which is capable of surmounting the negative pressure in the condenser. The conduit 74 is extended downwardly below the liquid level in an open vessel 76 in the same manner as the conduit 48. From the evaporator 66 a conduit 78 which may house a pump 79 extends to a third refiner 80 driven by an electric motor 82. In this refiner still another grinding of the pulp is effected which then leaves through a conduit 84 controlled by a valve 86 for a following treating step which does not form part of the present invention and therefor not described here. The temperature of the leaving pulp is this time also 60 C. Part of the fiber pulp may be recycled through a conduit 88 provided with a throttle valve 89 to the evaporator 66. In order to avoid a cooking in the refiners between the grinding members thereof it is suitable to make use of the pumping efiect of the refiners and, as is easily understood from the explanation above, to raise the pressure in the grinding casing thereof either by a throttling of the discharge conduit and/ or by placing the evaporator on such level as to obtain a suitable hydrostatic counterpressure. If the refining is conducted with recycling of cooled refined pulp it is possible to operate with somewhat higher pressure on/ and corresponding higher temperature of, the entering pulp suspension w'thout the temperature during the grinding process surpassing the allowable upper limit. The quantity of pulp passed through each refiner per time unit becomes greater and the suspension becomes capable of taking up more heat per each grade of temperature rise than in the case where no recycling is applied. Provided that the refiner is constructed in a specific manner, it is also possible directly to produce negative pressure in their interior and continuously to remove the produced steam at the same rate as the forming thereof and in this manner to conduct the grinding operation at a constant temperature. I FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate diagrammatically a constructive embodiment of this modification of the method. A refiner 90 is provided with a horizontal stationary cylinder 91 within which a grinding member 92 is rotatably mounted. This member is formed with a central, four-edged boxlike beam which at its ends has axle journals 94, 96. The axle journal 94 is connected to a driving motor 98. The grinding member 92 has further four wings which during rotation of the member knead the material against the interior wall of the cylinder 91 which wall may be grooved to increase the friction. The beam-formed portion of the grinding member has perforations 102 and the axle journal 96 is provided with a central bore and by means of a box'device 104 and a stationary pipe conduit 106 connected to an injection condenser 108. This latter is fed with cooling water through a conduit 1110 and kept at negative pressure by means of a vacuum pump 112. In operation of the refiner 90, a negative pressure corresponding to a boiling point of the water of 55 C., for example, is applied to the cylinder 91. A relatively concentrated pulp suspension the concentration of which may amount to between 10 and 20 percent, is fed into the cylinder from a container 114 through a conduit 116 in which is disposed a sluice or throttle valve 118. The ground pulp is discharged through a conduit 120. The pulp during its passage through the cylinder is ground by the grinding member 92, the developed heat being transformed to steam which is continuously withdrawn 5 through the bored journal 96 to the condenser 108. The heat escapes in vapor enthalpy and a constant temperature will prevail in the suspension. The ground pulp is conveyed through the conduit 120 to a container 122 and Withdrawn for further treatment or working through a conduit 124 which is provided with a pump 126 and a valve 128. From the condenser 108 a conduit 130 extends to the container 122 for maintaining the desired negative pressure in said container. Through a conduit 132 housing a valve 134 pulp suspension may 10 be recycled by the pump 126 until the desired degree of .refining has been reached. A conduit 136 extends from the condenser 108 down into a drain container 138, said conduit having a length surpassing the length corresponding to the negative pressure in the condenser. Since the pulp concentration rises during the grinding operation through evaporation, water must be supplied continuously if the concentration shall be kept constant during the whole grinding process. While two more or less specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that this is for purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited thereby, but its scope is to be determined by the appended claims. What we claim is: l. The method of continuously cooling pulp suspensions in water and maintaining, during the grinding operation, the temperature constant at an arbitrary level and within arbitrary limits within a temperature range of 20100 C. characterized in the pulp suspension being exposed to a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure to bring about a boil-01f of water and a cooling produced thereby down to the temperature to which the pulp suspension shall be cooled and at which it shall be kept cold. 2. The method of claim 1, characterized in that the predetermined quantity of cold refined pulp is recycled to the refiner. 3. The method of claim 1, characterized in that the pulp suspension is ground continuously in at least two steps of refiners coupled in series and that a cooling of refined pulp is etfected during the various steps. 4. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the cold, refined pulp is recycled to at least one of the refiners coupled in series.

Greatly Exaggerated
The whistle blew.
Dripping sweat, the young man looked up. Perspiration ran into his eyes, and his work out clothes were stuck to his body. He didn't gasp, though, his breaths coming deep and even. He assumed an 'at-ease' position, hands clasped behind his back as he awaited instruction.
'That was good, but not good enough,' the voice barked. 'You have to be faster – you're capable of it, I know you are.'
Veera nodded, and when the whistle blew again, he got onto the still running treadmill, falling easily into step and running uphill at seven kilometres per hour. He increased the speed so that it read 7.5 kmph.
He was only seventeen years old, but he could not remember a day in his life that he hasn't spent in training. The only other person he has ever seen is his trainer, Dr. Gangadhar, who is not the type to indulge in small talk.
Half an hour later, Dr. Gangadhar blew the whistle again. Time for his studies. Veera pressed a button, recording his time on the treadmill for the day before stepping off the machine. After a few basic stretches, he showered, and changed into clean clothing. Dr. Gangadhar is already waiting for him in the other room, laptop fired up and ready to begin classes.
The concept of a 'school' has come up in Veera's lessons from time to time, and though he knows of it theoretically, Veera has only been outside the house once a month, and always in the company of the doctor. Dr. Gangadhar has told him he is here for a purpose, and that he would know his mission soon enough – when he was ready. That was one reason he worked so hard at his training, the curiosity about his secret mission nagged at him, he couldn't wait until Dr. Gangadhar deemed him ready and told him what was the reason behind his training.
As he swung the door open, Dr. Gangadhar looked up from his copy of Cell, the journal he was reading. He waved Veera to a chair, and tossed the journal aside.
'Today, we start with a basic understanding of biotechnology,' he said, pointing to a slide show presentation on his screen. 'Pay attention, because this is important.'
Veera was doing push ups in his room when Dr. Gangadhar entered. He immediately sprang up into an 'at-ease' position, closing his mouth on his gasps for breath, hoping the doctor would ignore them.
'Good news,' the older man said, not looking up from the folder in his hands. 'I think you're finally ready.'
At that, Veera let out a breath, and Dr. Gangadhar looked up. Veera tried to control the grin that stretched his face, but he couldn't have helped it if he had tried. The doctor looked at him a for a long moment as if seeing him for the first time. With a start, Veera realised that the doctor looked tired. His normally clean shaven face was shadowed by a slight stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot behind his smudged glasses.
'Veera,' he said, and his voice sounded unsure for the first time – 'I really hope you are truly ready for this.'
After a moment, his uncertainty seemed to pass, because he walked over to the little table in a corner of the large room, pulling out a chair and motioning Veera to join him.
Veera's room wasn't furnished like that of a typical teenager, there were no posters on the walls, no shelves full of books or CDs or videogames. Instead, it looked like a room in a better class of gymnasium. Posters detailing lethal moves from various martial arts hung on the walls, interspersed with motivational posters with a very Spartan outlook.
As Veera sat down across from the doctor, the older man opened the file, showing the contents to him.
'This is Daksha,' he said, pulling out a grainy, black and white photograph. It showed a man with powerful jaws and a neat french beard, wearing glasses and a lab coat. His urbane shell cracked when it reached his eyes, however, which were close set and small, and looked angry. 'He is currently the head of the Rajiv Gandhi Centre For Biotechnology.' The doctor dropped the photograph on the table top as if he was holding something slimy, and his voice became ugly as he went on: 'He killed your mother.'
At that Veera looked up, shocked. It had long been obvious to him that the doctor was his father, the similarities between the face he saw in the mirror everyday and the man who was his trainer, his caretaker and his only family in the world was very evident. For some reason, though, the doctor preferred to be called just that, 'Doctor', and never Baba, or Appa or father.
Veera had never pondered too much on it. The doctor was good to him, he took care of him, clothed him and fed him, what did it matter how Veera was supposed to address him?
He had wondered about his mother, though. Everything he had learned in his studies indicated that the female parent was usually the one more given to nuturing and caring, and while the doctor was a good enough parent in his own way, Veera would have liked to have met his mother. He had always wondered what had happened to her, his earliest questions about her had gone unanswered by the doctor, who had ignored them until Veera had learnt to stop asking.
Veera had seen her picture, though, just once. The doctor had left his laptop unattended one day, having forgotten to lock it when he had stepped out to answer a call from a client. Veera, being naturally curious, had taken the chance to snoop, and had seen the picture of a beautiful lady as the laptop's wallpaper. Before he could study the picture for more than a minute, Veera had heard the doctor returning, and had had to step away.
Now, recalling that hazy memory of a happy smile and laughing eyes, Veera felt a curious hitch in his heartbeat. That beautiful person, killed – by this beast of a man? He looked again at the photograph of Daksha, picking it up to bring it closer to the light and looking into his eyes. Veera could almost believe that he had hooves instead of feet.
'What happened?' Veera asked, supressing the tremble in his voice.
'It was because of corruption, of course, like everything else in this accursed country,' Dr. Gangadhar spat. 'We were research scientists in the RGCB. Daksha was the head of the Pharmacogenetics department, then, and we were working on a new anti-cancer drug. We came to know that a new drug Daksha had tested on some subjects had killed them. They were cancer patients from Government hospitals, so no one bothered to even follow up on them. Except for Gauri. She knew something was wrong, and she showed me the reports. Daksha had hushed everything up, because he had sunk millions into developing the drug himself, via a secret biotech company he owned. He couldn't afford to have the drug fail. So he killed her. Made it look like a lab accident, that she burned because of a faulty burner, but I knew the truth.' Dr. Gangadhar banged his fist on the table, before calming himself. 'The police did nothing to help, of course, Daksha had them all in his pockets.'
'In the end, I resigned, and put out the rumor that I had comitted suicide.' Dr. Gangadhar's eyes glittered as he looked up at Veera. 'By now, Daksha should have grown complacent – and careless.'
'Which is where you come in.' Dr. Gangadhar looked up, his eyes determined as he stared hard at Veera. 'Will you help me avenge your mother?'
Veera could only nod, his head too full of jumbled thoughts to speak. 'Of course,' he finally said, and Dr. Gangadhar gave one of his brief, rare smiles.
It had been easy enough to enter the lab, he had snuck in with a college tour scheduled for the RGCB Open Day, when the lab was opened to the public and any queries they may ask. It had only been too simple to tag along with the group and break away when they reached the Pharmacogenetics lab, as Dr. Gangadhar had instructed him.
As Veera bent to place his eye against the retinal scan, he tried to calm his racing heart. Dr. Gangadhar had assured him that all he had to do was place his eye against the sensor, and he would be let into the lab. All of Veera's studies into basic biology had told him this couldn't be possible, though. Each person's retina was unique to them, it was the reason why this particular type of lock was so effective. How could the machine be fooled into thinking he was Dr. Gangadhar? Evidently that was what the good doctor expected, that he would still be entered into the database as a person with clearance to the lab – claiming that the centre wouldn't have changed their security protocols, because government organisations were lax in that matter.
As the screen before him flashed blue and the door hissed open, Veera blinked in surprise. Though he shouldn't have doubted the doctor, he was still surprised that he had been let inside so easily.
Choosing a likely spot to hide, Veera waited for Daksha, as he had been instructed.
When Daksha finally entered the lab, Veera almost didn't recognise him. The photograph Dr. Gangadhar had shown him had clearly been an old one, because in the intervening years, Daksha had put on more weight, and his hair was touched with grey. His face had a careworn look, and he hunched over his laptop on his table with a sigh.
Veera waited until the director of the RGCB was alone in the lab before stepping out of his hiding place.
'Hello, Daksha.'
The older man squinted up at him, falling back in his chair when he recognised him. 'You're–you're dead!' he said, his voice trembling.
'Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated,' Veera replied, as Dr. Gangadhar had instructed him.
'Don't worry, though,' he went on, enjoying the way his mother's killer squirmed. 'I'll make sure you're dead.'
With that, Veera raised the gun in his hand, shot Daksha twice in the head, and left.
But not before making a large bonfire of Daksha's laptop, and all his notes.
Something was wrong. There was no evidence of it, but as Veera entered the quiet house, he sensed it.
Veera would have expected Dr. Gangadhar to be waiting for him, restless and impatient to hear how his mission went. After all, he had been waiting seventeen years for this day.
Veera closed the door behind him, and went deeper into the house, passing the training room, the kitchen, his bedroom, before finally reaching the doctor's bedroom. For a long moment, he hovered outside the door that stood slightly ajar, feeling hesitant, for some reason. Finally, Veera shook off the strange unease and knocked, then entered.
Dr. Gangadhar was sitting up in bed, the blankets up to his chest. A cold foreboding clutched Veera's heart, and he ran to the doctor. His fears were confirmed. The base of the doctor's throat was blue, and it was evident he had poisoned himself.
His head in a whirl, Veera looked down at what the doctor held in his hands. It was a photograph of Gauri; his wife, and a folded piece of paper. Taking it in trembling hands, Veera read:
By now I should be dead, and that means we both are free. I know you would have completed your mission, there was never any doubt in my mind that you would.
Before the explanation, I owe you an apology. Your life these many years has not been a typical one, you have trained as if you were a soldier, when really you should have been in a college somewhere, laughing with friends and hanging out in canteens and movie theatres. I took that away from you – for my revenge – and I am sorry.
By now you would have guessed that you aren't my son, Veera. You're my clone. Gauri died before we could have any children, and I couldn't have entrusted my life's work to a stranger for hire.
I wanted Daksha to die by my hand.
And we were successful.
I can go now, knowing that our Gauri has had the justice she deserves.
Now you deserve to be free. Live your life the way you see fit.
Dr. Gangadhar
A/N: In Indian mythology, Veerabhadra, an aspect of Shiva, sprang from a lock of the latter's hair when Shiva called him into being in order to kill Daksha, who had led to the death of Shiva's wife, Sati. Gangadhar and Gauri are other names for Shiva and Sati respectively.
-Um. Yeah. One of my stranger ones. Sorry for the lateness, my internet was down for a while, and I could only post this today.
Thanks for reading, all comments and concrit are very welcome. =)

Hotmail is officially dead.
Once among the leaders of free email accounts, Hotmail has been replaced by Outlook.com. Microsoft launched the new email service in July as a preview. It went public in February.
"Today, we're excited to announce that we've completed upgrading all Hotmail customers to Outlook.com. Coupled with the growing organic excitement for Outlook.com, this has pushed us to over 400 million active Outlook.com accounts, including 125 million that are accessing email, calendar and contacts on a mobile device using Exchange ActiveSync. We're also pleased to announce that we're adding two new features to Outlook.com: SMTP send, so it's easier to send mail from different email addresses, and deeper integration with SkyDrive," Dick Craddock, group program manager for Outlook.com, posted on the company's website.
The company said that with the migration complete, it will now start adding additional features. It announced two such features today.
Outlook.com now has the ability to send emails on behalf of other email addresses, something currently supported in other email services like Gmail.
Microsoft also added deeper integration with SkyDrive, the company's cloud filing system. Outlook.com users can now add photos and other files from SkyDrive to email messages directly from Outlook.com.
Hotmail first launched in 1996 as HoTMaiL. Microsoft acquired the company a year later for nearly $400 million. It was then rebranded as MSN Hotmail. It was a rival of AOL and Yahoo, but all were eventually outpaced by Gmail.

"I LOVE this design. I searched for weeks for the perfect whale baby-shower invites, and these were just too cute for words. I managed to change a few things in order to add a few things that were not included on the template "Bring diapers/wipes for a special raffle. Registered at Babies R Us and Amazon." Once these hit the mail, I got a ton of compliments on them. People just loved the design. The only problem I had is that I ordered too few. When I went to order additional, I wish I had been given the larger bulk discount on my reorder rather than having to buy the highest amount to order just 10 additional cards."
"These invitations are perfect! The print was great the paper was sturdy and they arrived very quickly! I definitely recommend this design and this company."
"I loved this card. It looks pink and brown online, but it's really more pink and black/dark grey, which is perfect because that's what I wanted! I was able to add a photo on the back at no extra cost and the mommy to be LOVED that surprise! The photo was clear and crisp. They had my 60 invites delivered within a week of my order! Very pleased."
"Got this invitations for a baby shower. Gkt regular shipment and they were here within a week. Very delicate and simple just what we wanted great quality for the money we paid."
"I didn't understand that I could put a design on the back and ended up with it being blank white. Then I saw another one someone else had ordered and it had a beautiful design on the back too. I don't know whether this would have been extra but wish I had pursued putting a design on the back of my invitations. I remember seeing the back as I was ordering but guess I didn't realize what I could have done."

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The three candidates for U.S. Senate met in a televised debate Monday night. From the outset Democrat Joe Donnelly and Republican Richard Mourdock were at odds.
Donnelly made blatant appeals to the Lugar Republicans who may decide this race calling Dick Lugar, the man Mourdock defeated in the May primary, an American hero.
"You sent out a letter about Senator Lugar where you said he betrayed conservatives," said Donnelly, "and the word betrayed… you can disagree, but betrayed?"
The reference was to a campaign mailer following the primary that Mourdock says he regrets.
"To Senator Lugar, he is a good honorable man," said Mourdock, "and we appreciate the fact that he said he will support us as we go forward."
Mourdock did all he could to connect Donnelly to the President.
"You've again endorsed President Obama," Mourdock said. "His policies have not worked. I thought they were going to have a balloon drop and a confetti drop when they announced 7.8 percent unemployment the other day."
That led Donnelly to point to work he did with Senator Lugar to save auto companies. "I said I would vote for the President because he stood with those workers then as well," he said. "But I am just as happy to work with a Governor Romney."
Afterward both candidates talked about how Lugar Republicans will react.
"They realize they heard Congressman Donnelly today double down on his support for Barack Obama," said Mourdock.
"He couldn't name one Democrat he could work with and this is the second time that that's happened," said Donnelly, "and you know I'm stunned by it."
Libertarian Andy Horning served mostly as a buffer. At one point he begged voters to "vote for me just one time."
Following the debate Mourdock declined to grade his performance, while the Donnelly campaign declared victory in a news release. Donnelly didn't go that far himself saying only that the new release will make it easier to go back to the office.
It may be Election Day before we know which candidate did a better job of getting through to those Lugar Republicans.
