A new "waterproof" concrete has made its way to market. Carlstadt, N.J.-based Hycrete sells an additive that prevents concrete from absorbing water, which eliminates the need to encapsulate it with a petroleum-based skin when used underground. The additive will weaken concrete marginally, but the product clears specifications and is considered eco-friendly.

Wizard Control of ASP.NET help us to create a step by step wizard in our website. The Wizard control used when we want a big number of entries from user. Mainly we use this control in signup process of our site. In this article we will learn to use the Wizard control as well as we will see that how to customize the Wizard control according to our requirement. I have attached a demo project with this article. In this project I have used upto 3 steps. You can use more steps if required.
Previously we have discussed that how to bind Combo box control with Database Table's column in WinForm. Today I will tell you that how to bind a Combo box control with multiple columns of a particular table. The way of binding is very simple. We are not writing extra code or not writing any complicated code to perform this task. Just in this article you will get what you are doing to perform this. Also we are fetching records in SqlDataReader and then binding multiple columns with Combo box Control. I have attached a project that will guide you to implement this task technically. Also I am attaching the coding of the page that will help you to learn the process.
As you are a web developer you are very well known about HTML for web designing. While developing a web application we need to use many of HTML tags several times. These tags can be used inside the source code of the aspx page or in style (.css) files. Sometimes we need to use the HTML Controls in our .aspx page. Using HTML controls on .aspx page reduces the page load time as well as increase the execution of tha whole page. Today in this article we will learn how to use the Bulleted List control in ASP.NET. Also we can bind this Bulleted Control with our database table when required.
In this article IÂ will show how to use TreeView Control in MDIParent Form. I have used C# language to do this. As you all know that TreeView Control in C#.NET Provide the Tree Look for the nodes. In this project I am binding the Window Application Form inside the GroupBox Control. So in this project you will learn to use MDIParent Form, TreeView Control and GroupBox Control.

Insufficient steps
However, President Juan Manuel Santos declared the FARC's announcement an "important though insufficient step in the right direction." In addition to ending kidnapping, the government also demands that the FARC end forced recruitment, ban the use of landmines and leave civilians out of the conflict.
In the 1980s and '90s, at the height of the Colombian conflict, the FARC used ransom payments to fund their fight against the state, and used political hostages to put pressure on the government. Many rightwing paramilitary groups began to emerge in reaction the FARC's widespread practice of kidnapping, and Colombia became known as the kidnapping capital of the world.
In the mid 1990s Colombia witnessed more than 2500 abductions a year, most of which were attributed to the FARC. By 2011 there were 298 kidnappings in Colombia, according to the defense ministry, with the FARC responsible for 26 percent of those (more than 60 percent of the kidnappings today are attributed to common criminals).
But giving up kidnapping for ransom will not put a dent in the FARC's finances, analysts say. The FARC continues to garner abundant resources from extortion, drug trafficking, and illegal gold mining.
Alfredo Rangel, a security analyst, says there is little sense in the FARC declaring an end to the practice of kidnapping if it continues to demand extortion payments. "If they are going to continue to extort people, we haven't gotten anywhere," he said. The FARC have traditionally used kidnapping as punishment for failing to pay extortion payments. "So now they are going to place bombs instead? That's hardly a great advance."

The most important injustice to the Klingon faction.
It's not the lack of PvE content. It's not being treated like a second class faction. It's not having less sector space. And it is definitely not the lack of crafting or lack of real episodes.
The most horrendous injustice by far is that we are unable to access our Del Taco pet shuttle! The only reason I pre-ordered this game was so that I could ride along in my cloaked BoP with my uncloaked shuttle humming along as a little decoy. I was really in the mood for Taco Bell, but I drove an extra two blocks out of my way to get Del Taco instead. That's the cost of the cup plus at least another 7 cents in gas. No where on that cup, which coincidentally was of a Klingon bird of prey, does it say "shuttle for Fed-rats only." Just change the paint job to green and call it captured Fed technology, do whatever it takes to get my Klingon a pet shuttle...
Seriously though, I like playing a Klingon and will continue to do so. You probably clicked this thread because you feel slighted as a Klingon and want to share your 2 cents. Hang in there, guys. I'm sure Cryptic will add SOMETHING to our faction to satiate our hunger for battle. In the meantime, take it all in stride. Remember that there are other Klingons riding out the storm with you. This game could use a healthy Klingon population to help it succeed long term, and losing that means losing Klink AND Fed subscriptions. They'll work something out, and remember in the end, it's just a game. :)
incidentally, to cheer you up, at the end of the beta there was an event where Klingons invaded Federation space. the first Klingon to get there beamed down to earth, stealthed, and bought a federation galaxy-class starship from the vendor. then he beamed out and headed back to Q'onos space with his stolen Federation craft.
It was glorious.
The thing about the Klingons is that they were literally an afterthought. The original intent was for the game to be Fed only at launch, but due to player outcry they made Klingons playable too, but because of limited developement time they had a lot less time to build content for them. At the time they brought this up and the concensus in the player base was that they would rather have half finished Klingons then none at all. I think it was a good call personally since I love my Klingon Captain. Even though I wish there was more PvE content I'm not really complaining since I enjoy the PvP. If I want to PvE I just play on Fed side.
Klingons are anything but polished, there is room for two more sector blocks below our main sector block...perhaps we could add a story revolving a new faction starting invading our galaxy from the edge of Klingon space? Also, Klingon beaming still is blue....I have been whining about this for weeks and its been an issue for months. Why in gods name dont they fix such a simple thing that would make Klingons feel more Klingon and add a small bit of much needed polish? Also, the Raptor is underpowered...I love the Quorgh but it explodes way too easily and I have to stick wiith my K'tinga to be effective. Also, those klingon exploration clusters better be coming soon...im beginning to go insane doing cracked planet and solar wind over and over and over again.

Seeing how Kamui are living beings, these should be classified as a Concept and not and Object page. They are living creatures that just happen to be worn.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I attached it to episode 3. Looks like you're taking care of it.
Haven't finished watching ep. 3 yet. Been creating wiki pages and uploading new shots. I hope RC will get most of them. Otherwise, I have to do it myself.
Don't know if I have enough time to work on the plot summary today. Got one more test tomorrow.
After watching episode 3, it seems that the club captains with 2 star uniforms have no chance against Ryuko, so I suppose they're going to attack her in packs.
Or maybe Fukuroda and Hakodate were the weakest club captains in the Honnouji Academy, with Hakodate it makes sense because (unfortunately) she didn't had much time to train with her 2 star uniform.
I heard of Queen Blade but not Warlord. I never watched them. When I recalled Queen Blade (because @Sonata: and I were uploading official art), I did remember the crazy, revealing armor. Thanks for the reminder.
@Daniel_Newton: @bigz007
Was it Life Threads or Fiber? I was looking at it. Why did I use Fibers? I check Crunchyroll. I'm brain dead right now.
Aw man, I would love to go for some hash browns. Haven't ate anything yet today.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
The main item on State Radio Channel 2's agenda recently was Channel 10's apology to Sheldon Adelson. Some background: A few months ago, Channel 2 News broadcasted a lengthy report accusing the billionaire founder of the pro-Netanyahu newspaper Yisrael Hayom, Sheldon Adelson, of illegally gaining rights to build a casino. The report turned out to be false and the station was forced to broadcast an apology. The media claimed that the Channel 10 stockholders, who feared financial repercussions by Adelson, coerced the staff to apologize. Karen Noibach also devoted precious airtime to performer Yehudah Pollicker. Israel Army Radio featured the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Afterwards, the two stations switched stories.
The day before those broadcasts, an Egyptian mob had burned Israel's embassy in Egypt. Six Israelis were extricated by the skins of their teeth, with just one door separating them from the Egyptian rabble that threatened to tear them to pieces. In response, Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked the Egyptians for the rescue and thanked President Obama for something – although it is not clear what. He promised that Israel will build an embassy in a safer place and reiterated that peace with Egypt is an important asset. Netanyahu also said that Israel would find the way to reestablish good relations with Turkey.
There is no doubt that Israeli society and its leaders are still wallowing deep in the peace mentality – peace with Egypt and peace with the Palestinians based on Oslo, along with deep faith in the Americans. They cannot discern that the emperor has no clothes. They continue to cheer his royal attire and to alter their policies to fit those illusory garments.
It is wrong for a journalist to tailor his or her stand in the direction of big money just to ensure a successful career. But what is much worse is that a journalist who wishes to progress to the upper echelons of Israeli media must hide his or her nationalist views. Journalistic servitude to money is nothing compared to journalistic servitude to ideology. The journalists presently raising the roof over freedom of the press are really the last to talk.
Perhaps the best example of the media tyranny in Israel is not to look at what the media choose to broadcast, but what they choose not to broadcast. The very fact that on the day after Israel's embassy in Cairo was burned, the Adelson agenda is what the media chose to hammer into our heads is proof that something is seriously wrong. Around Israel, our enemies are declaring war on us and the media is shouting that the sky has fallen because someone has forced them to apologize – truly a major threat to Israel's existence!
I do not know if the media intentionally plan on not analyzing in depth what is happening around Israel, and not reconsidering the entire misconception of peace with Egypt and the surrender of Sinai. I do not know if they are burying our collective head in the sand because they understand the situation and are trying to hide it, or because they do not understand the situation at all. One way or the other, they have failed miserably.
I have also felt the strong hand of Sheldon Adelson and the private newspaper that he established. (What can I do? I do not always stand by Netanyahu.) Nevertheless, I can only rejoice that somebody understands the importance of opening Israel's media to additional voices, and has invested the required funds to do so. The media have noticeably improved since Adelson's paper has been published. They are much more balanced. Radical leftist Gabi Gazit, for example, no longer works at the radio station that pretends to be objective.
There is still no visible connection between Israel's media and the ideological and moral make-up of Israeli society that is expressed, for example, in the results of elections. Nevertheless, Adelson can chalk up success by virtue of the fact that the media in Israel today are in a much better place than they were before the Expulsion from Gush Katif.

Very heavy duty, which makes the idea of a spring seat much easier to feel good about, but the mount is tricky to install. Required multiple additional holes and a moderate amount of bending to make it fit the bike and the seat.

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Korver connected on a pair of 3- pointers during a late Atlanta surge, as the Hawks strengthened their hold on a playoff spot with a 105-97 triumph over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday at Phillips Arena.
Boston led 89-80 with 5:44 to play before Elton Brand threw down a dunk to spark a 10-0 Atlanta run, which Korver capped with a triple to give the Hawks a 90-89 edge.
Jared Sullinger responded with a trey at the other end to put Boston back in front, but Korver countered with another 3-pointer, igniting a 9-0 burst that provided the home team with a 99-92 lead with 1:13 remaining.
Atlanta sealed the outcome by going 6-for-6 from the free-throw line down the stretch, as the Hawks extended their lead to two games over the idle New York Knicks for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
"The ball movement and the pace were the difference (down the stretch)," Atlanta head coach Mike Budenholzer said. "We found the right guy at the right time and we were able to execute."
Jeff Teague totaled 19 points and eight assists, while Paul Millsap and Brand each donated a double-double. Millsap supplied 14 points and 14 rebounds, while Brand netted 13 points and grabbed 13 boards in Atlanta's third win in four tries.
Avery Bradley returned from a three-game absence and paced Boston with 24 points, while Rajon Rondo registered 19 points and 12 assists for the Celtics, who have lost a team-record 13 straight road games, matching the mark set in the 1979 campaign.
"It's pretty much the same old story the last couple games," Rondo said of his team's struggles. "When teams make a comeback on us, they turn up the pressure and we seem to fold."
Boston trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half and didn't take its first lead until five minutes prior to the end of the third quarter, when Rondo ripped off four points in 20 seconds for a 67-66 Celtics lead.
Brandon Bass buried back-to-back buckets to extend Boston's edge, but a DeMarre Carroll layup followed by two free throws from Louis Williams found the Hawks back within one.
However, Jeff Green drained a triple on Boston's next possession and then beat the buzzer with another trey to send the Celtics into the fourth with a 77-70 spread.
A Korver 3-pointer pulled Atlanta within two just under three minutes into the fourth, but Boston answered with a 10-3 swing to build a nine-point lead with just under six minutes left.
Early on, Atlanta shot 14-of-18 from the field in the first quarter to create a 32-23 cushion, but Boston battled back in the second and cut the margin to five at halftime.
The Hawks shot 40-of-76 from the field overall and scored 25 points off 16
Boston turnovers ... Boston's last road win came on Feb. 10 at Milwaukee ...
The Celtics have last nine straight overall ... Prior to the game, the Hawks
awarded Korver with the Jason Collier Memorial Trophy for his dedication to
community service ... Atlanta's Pero Antic missed the game with a sore right
ankle ... Sullinger supplied 15 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.
