Upholstery Tools
Vacuum cleaners are part and parcel of our cleaning solutions. We cannot dream of having a clean home without them. Whether it is an upright or canister, bag-less or bagged vacuum cleaner all these cleaning equipment come with a set of accessories and attachments. Upholstery cleaning tools such as turbo brushes, dust brushes, floor scrubbers and many more are the part of any vacuum cleaner.
How to attach an upholstery cleaning tool in wet-dry vacuum cleaner
• Locate the vacuum and solution hose couplings on your vacuum cleaner. The solution hose is the small hose that carries the clean water and detergent to the cleaning wand. While the vacuum hose, the large of the two, carries waste water back to extractor unit.
• Connect the carpet cleaning vacuum hose to the main vacuum motor and the solution hose into the valve connector on the main unit. Ensure that hoses are locked together properly.
• Now connect these hoses to the upholstery wand. Many contemporary models are connected to the furniture tool permanently.
You can buy accessories separately as attachments for your vacuum cleaner. But ensure that the make of the vacuum cleaner and the accessories are the same. GoVacuum.com is a portal which deals with top quality and branded vacuum cleaners and accessories. Here you can search for any type of accessories, vacuum cleaners- both commercial and domestic.

Christmastime helps us reflect and focus on what we truly value in life… so many good things, such as peace, joy, goodwill, giving—and forgiveness. It is the time each year when we are reminded of the greatest story ever told, of the birth of Christ and the remarkable path He took over the course of His short life. His purpose—His mission, was to lead the world to the goodness and safety of salvation. When Jesus Christ walked the earth, there was great evil in the heart of man. Today, that evil persists, and if anything it is even worse, as there are now so many more people, so many more places for evil to find a willing home.
If we are not careful, we can be overwhelmed by all of the tragedy in the world. There is an overabundance of sickness, poverty, crime, hatred—and killing. Our various media do not help us much. Even in the best of times they choose to trumpet the bad at the expense of the good. Apparently, it sells better. And more and more we find that good people say less and less about their religion, and where we might benefit by lifting up the goodness of God's word and His love for us all, we find instead that good people decide to remain silent, professing the merits of keeping religion "private", concerned that discussion of religion might somehow offend, or ever more commonly succumbing to secret fears that there will be ridicule for any who dares to openly proclaim religious belief and a Godly love for fellow man.
America allows for freedom of worship. All religions are welcome here. We even permit people to have no religion. America allows for the free exchange of ideas, through conversation and through a free press. Few nations in history have allowed these things and none to the extent that America does. We should not underestimate the value of our constitutional rights, which I believe were divinely inspired. We must be careful not to allow these rights to wither and fall away. Now more than ever we need the courage to exercise our right to speak freely of what is good, what we should do as a good society, how we should embrace the teachings of God. In these unsettled times of great evil and anxiety, the story of the birth of Jesus Christ and the amazing things He did before his crucifixion is worth telling. Now, more than ever, those of us who are Christians and celebrate Christmas should take the lessons of Christ's life and apply them to all that we do. Christmas is about the birth of our Savior, pure and simple. His life was dedicated to showing us the ways of God. By simply walking as a man, Jesus demonstrated how we should behave toward each other and how we should conduct ourselves in all that we do.
In the great story of Christmas, there is goodness and light. There is peace and joy, goodwill and giving—and there is forgiveness. Who couldn't use a little more of each of these things today?
Merry Christmas—and a happy holiday season to all. God bless!

I'm looking at a overland trip in Uganda, approximately 14 days. I am ok with some amount of camping, but I'm not terribly interested in the "dig your own hole" sort of camping. I'd like to do it somewhat cheaply, and I don't need hotels every night. Is there a certain phrase I'm looking for that is somewhat inbetween these two extremes when looking for operators? There are several that appear to be nice, but I'm not sure that I also want to cook for the whole party.
If you want to do it cheaply than you would be best off if travelling on your own (with a Lonely Planet guide, probably optimal group size is 4).
I found public transport in Uganda reasonably usable between major cities (not very comfortable though), and in national parks you can always hire a guy with a 4x4 (to get around and do a game drive).
Regarding camping, it is possible to camp in most (I haven't checked all of them) national parks (which is VERY sensible thing to do if you are on a low budget) and in backpacker oriented hostels. Usually its more pleasant than sleeping in a cheap hotel, which are usually run-down and dirty by western standards.
If you want to see the gorillas, you have to get it organized months before your trip (we tried too late).
Gorilla Tracking is an exhausting activity and one should be physically fit to enjoy gorilla trekking. Skilled guides will accompany groups but no porters are available to carry personal belongings and the minimum age is fifteen years. Anyone with signs of communicable disease like cough or runny nose will not be allowed to trek.
While ownership of a gorilla permit is a guarantee of trekking, it isn't a guarantee of finding. However the chance of finding is high – 95% or more. Maximum time allowed with the gorillas is one hour at a minimum distance of 7 meters.

Comments about SuperCut Construction Cutter with Case:
I have had this tool for several years and it came with some accessories that to this day i do not know how to use or what they are for. It would have been nice if the tool came with some competent instructions for the use and purpose of the extra pieces. Other than that the tool has worked well for me. The screws that hold the end onto the housing broke some time back due to vibration. The housing is plastic and i ended up filling the old holes with jb weld and installed new screws. It has held up so far

So how did those two others appear with Jesus in or at His Transfiguration??
So who and how was those dead profits risen, ???And AIUI( As I understand it ), The Father Raised His Son From the dead, not Jesus raised himself.
Are you running for office here? I would still like to know if any one has a real answer
This is why I have had such a had time understanding the following.Was these Persons temporarily raised??? Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Posted by Lee Damboise II
Lee D........He's the God of the living and not the dead; all are alive IN Him, who IS (the Spirit) the 7th day, the sabbath, the resurrection and the life. What they saw was the finished work that was from the foundation of the world, ie. they saw into Spirit in which there is no time but NOW.What I'm going to say here next is hard to grasp but..........if you follow this train of thought, then who we really are, has NEVER left Him, NEVER not been one with Him and with each other, NEVER. But rather we (as spirit) were lowered into this bondage of corruption (the flesh realm) to EXPERIENCE that which we have NEVER known, ie. separation, brokenness (not whole in Him as we WERE from the foundation of the world). Also, what they saw was the completion of the Passover Seder ("ie. last supper"); Moses/bread/word and Elijah/wine/Spirit. True communion is partaking of the word/bread in the light of the candlestick/wine, to do this in remembrance of or to re-member ie. form His (glorified) body. Stopping here........Blessings...

Great action shot !
Main Content
i love national geographic!
Right time of click the camera
I like this photo very much but would also love to see some details of the camera type, lense range and focal settings to enable a better appreciation of all aspects.
great moment n great picture. That's wildlife.
Very nice
a great moment .
A great moment speaks volume about the whole photo
Cuàl es el màs fuerte?
They are not fight for dominance, they fight over the carcas, which was placed front of a photoblind, to make much easier to the photographers to capture some action.
This is why the smaller birds are there too, not because some fortunate accident, or curiosity!
This is a new trend in europe, started by a hungarian unethical bird photographer, who already fooled a lot of magazin and photo contest with his pictures!
Photographers and/or some business was build up on photo turism, are dig into the ground a photoblind with a one way mirror glass, so photogrpahers do not have to have any skill about the birds and nature, or wildilfe photography, because they are completly separated from the nature, sitting in a "room" behind one way mirror glass.
They are place a life stock carcas to the fornt of the photoblind and the birds of prey, and other meat eater birds like magpie and crow came to fed on it. So the photographers can shoot houndreds of pictures of action like this. It is impossible to not get least a few good shot, even you get a camera in your hands at a very first time, and you are in the nature at a very first time.
In a photoblind like this, even a blind person took pictures like this! It is true, it is happened!
too much amazing!!
Superb !
whoa..!!! mighty Eagles..!!!
really great pic
Amazing !!!
Amazing shoot Sir.Where you were focusing?.
Perfect shot!!
I found your website! Truly amazing images! Thank you.
Hi Sylwia! I love your photograph. What camera did you use? What settings? Are you a professional photographer? I would love to see more of your work.
This is one magical shot the action, the eyes of the eagles and the poor little bird caught helpless in the middle of the conflict also nice colored.simply greaaaaaaaaaaaat.
The eagle on the left is like, "... dude. I saw it first."
The eagle on the right is all, "Oh, I'm sorry was that yours?"
The little bird in the middle is thinking "oh %$&!"
And the little bird on the far left is saying, "Wallace, Nooooo!"
I just would like to thank everyone for the nice messages and comments. Glad you like the image!
Amazing photo!! My students loved it today. Thank you for the comments on the different colors of the birds. We had a great conversation about this photo!
What a precious gem you have got Sylwia. Amazing, mind blowing and simply superb shot.
This is so intense, brilliantly captured.
Well done Sylwia!
The one on the left looks like a Golden Eagle. Love the pic Though.
Glad they were just spectators... Thought the eagles were trying to get the smaller bird for lunch!
I am surprised the other birds are not prey?.
I am surprised the smaller birds are not prey!
The birds, eyes so in focus, along with the talons showing such action of the birds who are so very focused on each other. I love the little birds giving the image perspective and love the detailed spread of the magpie's wings on the left. Just the VERY best image...I will call it perfect, Sylwia!
Great picture - the sharpness of the image is unreal
Perfect timing Sylwia. This shot could not have been scripted! Wonderful.
This So perfect photo
Amazing capture, amazing colors, amazing clarity... bravo...
It's amazing!!!
Hi Sami. Hard to tell where exactly I was focusing because it all happened so quickly :-) I kept my camera on the eagle on the left as it was stationary and I could see the other one flying in. I kind of guessed it would try and land on top of the first one as this is what they do! This is why both of them are sharp.
My Facebook Wildlife Page is more interactive than the website. Have a look if you can!
Hi Yvonne :-)
Thank you for all the nice words! Yes , I am a professional photographer. I shoot mostly on Canon 1d mark IV and 500 mm lens (this is the combo I used with the eagles). Are you a photographer yourself?
@Timothy Evans Timothy, that was funny :-) Except that the one on the right wouldn't say 'I'm sorry'. The eagles seem to have no manners...
@Tina Crofts Oh, I am glad to hear this - thank you so much! The different colors have a reason: As long as the birds have a juvenile plumage, the adult ones are less aggressive towards them.
@Andy WeatherholtThe left one is juvenile and therefore differently coloured. Only adult birds have distintive characteristics like a white tail and a yellow beak - this takes a few years.
@Sylwia Domaradzka @Timothy Evans
Yes, funny despite the fact that they are not fighting for the little bird in the middle, which is behind the scene as evidenced by it being out of focus. As the photographer stated, they appear to be fighting for dominance. But, I wouldn't want to be that little bird when dominance is established!
@Martina Ruehmann @Andy Weatherholt I know it's four to five years for bald eagles to get their adult plumage.
@Martina Ruehmann @Andy Weatherholt
Thanks Martina :-) That's exactly the difference between the two of them.

Co-Editor Kurt Heinrich's post has inspired me to write an open letter to Stephen Colbert on behalf of Ice-Holes and Syrup Suckers everywhere.
Dear Mr. Colbert,
So it's a ridiculous gauntlet throw-down of ridiculousness you want? Game on, sir. And, before we get rolling: thank you so, so much for paying attention to us!
Once you, American speed skaters and The Colbert Nation have donned your bursting spandex and the official Pink Toque of Olympic Oval Ombudsmanship, there's something else that we should probably talk about. As you know, sir, you have simply started another tired chapter in the history of Canadian/American binary opposition. We get it, man. Canada and America are the same, but different in minor ways. Hilarious! You know that whenever an American comedian (not Canadians who practice comedy in America) mentions Canada the Prime Minister drops everything, calls the CBC and holds a press conference telling us all to watch, right? We erupt with elation at opportunities like this. You're doing us a great service (and probably boosting our maple syrup exports by at least 4%), but, my good man, there is more at stake than just speed skating. There's a whole preconceived narrative we need to overcome. And we need to do it together!
We're "syrup-suckers" because Canada makes and consumes a lot of syrup. Hahahahahahahahaha! Oh Stephen, cut it out. Honestly, I – nay, we – expected more than this simple joke, but I guess from your gorgeous hair to your intuitive gut you're just a simple man. Or perhaps you were being ironic. After all, even though 80% of the planet's maple syrup is produced in Quebec, it is also produced in Vermont and up-state New York (and its production reaches as far south as Virginia). Also, when it comes to syrup-sucking, America has Canada and, well, the entire world beat into a fine, molassassy liquid that just seems to be in everyting from pizza crusts to Jimmy Dean sausage-wrapped-pancake on a stick. Whether it's maple or high-fructose-corn syrup, a recent study by the USDA's Agriculture Fact Book argues that Americans consume over 150 pounds of caloric sweeteners each year. If there was a syrup-sucking Olympics, good sir, your team would surely, and deservedly, win gold, silver, bronze, and delicious pies for the fourth-to-tenth place finishers.
Ice-Holes? Really? Because it's cold here, right? Hahahahahahahaha! Oh Stephen. My friend, this is Vancouver, not Montreal, Toronto, Saskatoon, or Iqaluit. Have you been to Vancouver? I mean, the average winter temperature is about 2 degrees Celsius (36 degrees Fahrenheit). New York City's is certainly below zero degrees Celsius, which is around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Look, I'm not calling you an Ice-Hole, Wikipedia is; that's where I got the data from. But, don't worry, you can get in there and change it right away. Sure, Vancouver's not Charleston, South Carolina, but it's not Pierre, South Dakota, either. But you knew that because you're a smart guy – and your Ivey League writing team certainly is – so you must've been talking about how speedskaters skate on amazing ice we build and export around the world. You were never on Talking to Americans, right? And you were also going on and on aboot how and we "Saskatchewhine" aboot it. First, one of our Saskatchewanian speed skaters, Kim Weger, just retired after a fairly fantastic eight-year career. I'm not sure if she's whining too much about it, but, I'm sure your jab was thoroughly research-based and not at all an Ivey League pun that came from the gut. Second, if anyone plays "dirty beaver" (what many Canadians named John Horn call "whining while cheating") it's you and the Colbert Nation; your segment Cheating Death with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA teaches people how to break the rules of life-living while falsely representing the Fine Arts community. Furthermore, this whole Wikiality business seems to be chalked full of cheating the Hungarian people out of their history. And speaking of an hisotrical example of dirty beaver, well, you showed us all what whining and social mischief can get us. It got you a treadmill on a node and, more recently, it's gotten you a Pink Toque of Ombudsmanship. Well played, sir. Well played.
Needless to say, it's time to transcend this tired, simple and, I'm one to say it, cliched approach to nationalism. We knew this was coming before you did. I mean, come on, this isn't a Molson Canadian beer commercial, right? This is speed skating! Here's why you need to transcend the whole Ice-Hole thing. A Canadian member of your nation, The Colbert Nation, made a great point to kick off the blog-comment-thread on your Comedy Central letter writing campaign:
Stephen… What about your Colbert Nation supporters that reside in Canada? I would hate for this issue to divide your supporters. As a proud Canadian and equally proud member of the Colbert Nation I hope to be the voice of peace and reason. Let us skate together in Vancouver 2010! But this letter campaign to be honest doesn't really threaten us… the US postal system will probably only end up delivering a fraction of the letters successfully.
Enter Johnism. See, fueled by democracy, the Colbert Nation, like the global political system is still built in a way that attracts and enables people who want to
be the world's powerbrokers and reap all the delicious, material, ill-gotten/gettin' goodies that such power allows. We need leaders for our communities – from local to global – but we need a new selection process. No dictatorial Colbertism. Free market, libertarian, open source Johnism. Recent findings show that there are approximately 942,564,723 people on the planet named "John" (translation and regional dialects were taken into account during this study). So, this up-and-coming ideology isn't based on status or age or experience or ability or education or qualification or people named Stephen Colbert or being good at anything. It's based on having a really common name. A name so common that, when the random, name-based selection of global leadership takes place, we can be sure that the new team in charge are truly drawn from all parts and places of society. Wow – think of how much extra cash we can spread around when credentials do not include the ability to raise $1 billion in campaign funds or being sponsored by Doritos! Fun fact: a study from The Recent Findings Institute indicated that nearly 11% of the Colbert Nation is made up of people named John, Jean, Giovanni, Juan, Ivan, Jens, Johann, Yochanan, or Yayha (all variations of the name "John"). Members of the Colbert Nation named John (or one of it's variations), it's time to think beyond America; take your ideas everywhere my friends, not just to the Olympic Oval – although, I must say, the architecture is spectacular.
If your community really wants to grow, Stephen. It needs to go beyond the simple binary of Canada vs. America – or America' s nation within a nation. Take on something bigger than you. Challenge yourself and your nation to be more ridiculous that it already is. Then, and only then, will you have earned your Pink Toque of Ombudsmanship. For Canada – and the Johnists who herein preside – we embrace and love the ridiculous. Just look at our government's stance on Climate Change!
Keep building communities around the world, Stephen. After all, people are listening. Thanks for the memories and for the attention.
Kindest regards,

Adoption Story:
Lucy was "Ana" when we adopted her at the Chicago Wolves' 2003 home opener. But for a dog with flaming red hair, little white socks and a bushy tail that looked like the tip had been dipped into white paint, "Ana" seemed too tame a name. She needed something livelier, so we named her "Lucy" after Lucille Ball and John's Aunt Lucy.
Since then, Lucy has pretty much become princess of the household. She likes to chase the three cats and lord it over our other rescue dog, a smaller dog named "Baron," that she's No. 1 in the dog hierarchy: 'This is my sofa, these are my toys, this is my bowl ...You can have whatever isn't mine, and it's all mine.' She loves lying in our backyard for hours during the summer, in the shade of a massive Chinese elm, watching over her "empire."
And like the TV Lucy, sometimes she's got some "'splainin' to do."
Lucy wears one of the special Chicago Wolves dog collars during the hockey season for good luck. She was the first dog to become a member of the "Skates Mates" club and the only dog ever to attend the annual "Skates Mates" party – before they found out that "Lucy Machonga" was actually a dog.
Lucy is a good and loyal watch dog, a fascinating companion, and a wonderful gift. Thanks, Chicago Wolves and Mr. Levin, for bringing her into our lives Oct. 12, 2003.

I am overwieght after my pregnancy (gained 50 pounds and so far only lost 20) my son was still born on July 11th so I feel like I should have lost more weight by now. I defintiely think that the extra weight loss will help my blood pressure and get me fit and ready for the next pregnancy. I don't want to be as overweight the next time I was to be within a decent BMI. Please help me guys. I started eating much better, and now doing light Yoga, Tae Bo bootcamp, and walking. How often should I be exercising to see results (I am doing 3-4 times per week right now)
I am taking multi-vitamins, and Chromium Piccolnate to aid my body in metabolization. I appreciate all advice and tips!

I'm finding it hard to be amused by watching these influential celebs make fun of hybrid and electric cars while promoting flashy gas guzzlers. I'm not suggesting that all the humour come out of the programme, but surely there's a need for a more responsible approach. Or is it just me?
there's mounting evidence to show that air pollution is being over-hyped, the hole over the antartic is getting smaller, temperature change was worse before co2 emissions etc search it on google
I think chopping down the forests is a more pressing concern, air pollution makes species extinct no-where near as fast as loss of habitat.
I can see what your saying, I suppose they should think about climate change and the environment. They could look at the environment-friendly cars and maybe improve their looks if thats what they don't like about them.
Well, I still find Top Gear enjoyable in a "Punch and Judy" sort-of-way as they really don't miss a chance to bash anyone. Playing on any prejudice available in the situation.
However, I do think they're missing a hugh opportunity to help us all to make good and sustainable choices when it comes to cars. Environmentally friendly cars need to be both fun and functional to drive if they're to gain a market share that actually have an impact.
I'd have to disagree with you.
I think their approach is very healthy. It promotes discussion, disagreement and reaction and bings it to the table in a nutshell. Besides which, they tend to be right. There is no real argument for the use of hybrid or electric cars on the basis that the power still has to come from fossil fuels so they aren't really saving anything and let's face it, for the most part the manufacturers are making them to meet international environmental agreements and at the bottom line.. to sell cars, not because they give a damn about the environment.
The other side of the coin is that the top gear team do also highlight certain issues through their 'special programmes', for instance, travelling across Africa in three non-four wheel drive vehicles was a pretty good indicator that for the most part they're unnecessary and certainly not a requirement for the home counties school run. Few people tend to remember these things.
Most importantly.... it's an entertainment show and their outlook is comedic! If you follow the argument through that it's unhealthy for the environment, well so is watching TV as it consumes power. On that basis perhaps we should ban TV, Radio, The internet, Cars.... ad infinitum. I think that leaves us with the option of going to the nearest park, chopping down a tree to keep warm and pretty much resorting to family based tribalism, the 'environment' will be a poorer place in a very short space of time..
It's all about perspective.
And what's wrong with being stereotypical - if by that you mean consistent. At least they give a consistent message which is more than the environemntalists can do on global warming
Anyway - the truth is that hybrid / electric cars are totally naff. When the car manufacturers actually produce something "environemntally friendly" (whatever that means) that compares to a Veyron or an Enzo then that will shut Jeremy up.
Couple of points to make about pinkpolarbear's comments.. Are you suggesting that we each buy a car magazine to got our car fix? Given that glossy magazines are a) usually read by one person only till they end up in a doctors waiting room, b) that it's known that recycling a gloss magazine is unbelievably energy expensve, much of the components inevitably going to landfill, let alone the energy expense involved in the production of the magazine in the first place. Compared to the energy involved in the production of a single tv programme watched by millions which, at the end of the day, you can turn off? I doubt that the lifecycle analsis of a tv production compared to the production of a gloss magazine is going to come down in favour of the magazine? Hardly the most environmentally friendly approach surely?
I'd like to draw a comparison... I don't eat cows but I watch Countryfile. It's a known fact that cows are the biggest polluter of the global environment. A single cow is more polluting to the environment over its lifecycle than a Formula 1 racing car.. Should we ban cows? Countryfile as a programme makes no mention of its environmental affinity and ploughs on regardless (scuse the pun), promoting livestock farming. It's assumed by the watching public that because it's about farming it must be environmentally sound. Not only is this environmentally irresponsible but I could reasonably argue that the production team are actively promoting global warming!
More programmes like Top Gear please, that offer an open opinion, reflect the public attitude, bring the argument to the table and are - in the true spirit of the BBC (and our licence payers money, educational, informative and entertaining.
I watch Top Gear quite a lot! I find it very very funny and amusing. People dont really take them seriously and it is entertaining! They are a programme about cars and they cannot be expected to use environmentally friendly cars all the time as it would not be as entertaining. Imagine a high speed race with electric cars. It wouldn't be as entertaining and they would lose viewers! I love Top Gear even though their views on the environment may not be right.
Top Gears Aproach to all things Environmental is appalling! When my Family members go to buy cars i am shocked at the amount of people trying to find cars that had been used on Top Gear! And some of the cars even SAID " Tested and approved on Top Gear!"
Well im proud to say none of my family members even glanced at the "Top Gear" Cars!
i think that there funny with some stuff, but you're right, just think of how much fuel is used in F1 racing!
Do you know what Formula 1 is for?
It's a testing ground for new vehicle technologies, some safety-related, some about materials used for vehicle manufacture and, increasingly now about fuel efficiency. The big picture is that the fuel burned in a Formula 1 season is an investment in technology which trickles down, eventually, to your cheap shopping car to make it more efficient. Scale that over the millions of vehicles bought globally over the year and you will realise that the savings in fuel efficient engines, transmissions and aerodynamics, not to mention more energy efficient manufacturing techniques, are not just financial.
Err Electric cars... yeah great, lets use some fossil fuels to charge up the "environmentally friendly car". As for hydrogen powered vehicles, what powers the plant that makes the hydrogen and what tows the tanker to the filling station... Hmm I do beleive its no enviromentally friendly powerstation or electric lorry LOL
Top Gear is what it is, a somewhat informative light entertainment show, it will never wave the greenpeace flag as long as Jezza is on the show and the day it does is the day I stop watching it.
If it offends you so much, don't watch it!
lol, it's not a myth, but it is natural....
the myth is that mankind and our machines are the ones solely resposible for global warming. True, we are speeding up the process a bit, but in planetary terms, not really much at all....
I think you all tend to take this programme far too seriously. its primary function is surely entertainment - nothing more or less and anyone who is likely to be persuaded by Clarksaon et all are not worth saving anyway!!!! i enjoy the programme but it does not change my opinions. you may as well put a block on all programmes that dont follow a certainly line of thought. there is something known as freedom of speach. loosen up a bit and more maybe achieved in the long run
Top Gear is primarily a commercial venture, designed to be sufficiently entertaining to make alot of money for stakeholders. That is its raison d'etre. It doubtless has other worthy objectives too but there is a pecking order of priorities. Social responsibility and environmental concerns may be in there somewhere, but if so, are probably lower down the list in terms of priority.
However it is one thing to articulate sincerely held beliefs contradicting current environmental concerns; this potentially adds to the richness of an important debate affecting everyone on the planet. It is quite another to pose as "harmless" irreverent entertainment when the real motives are a little bit more basic than that; there is an unresolved ethical problem with this programme and that is why it is does not amuse anymore.
Slightly flawed Range Rover argument but, expressed properly, does illustrate the point you make.
If you buy a brand new Range Rover and run it normally over its design life (i.e. don't crash it and throw it away after 18 months) then the entire cycle of manufacture, fuel burned and used as lubricant, consumable parts used and energy used in recycling it has a lower environmental impact overall than if you apply the same cradle-to-grave calculations to a Prius. Because a RR is made largely of aluminium which can be very efficiently recycled and the Prius is nearly as heavy and consists largely of unpleasant battery chemicals which can't. And it has to lug around a heavy petrol engine all the time, even when running solely on batteries.
Top Gear is a TV show watched by those who enjoy a light-hearted look at cars, driving and motoring issues. Watched and made by enthusiasts, obviously it will poke fun at detractors. The rest of the TV schedule is filled with eco-mentalists demonising the car (but not so much public transport, air travel, farming, deforestation, central heating, consumption of food transported around the globe ...) so let's get this 12 hours per year of TV into perspective.
And while we're at it, lets get the contribution of the private motorist to the CO2 problem into perspective too. If you support Carbon Offsetting then the Road Tax, and fuel duties paid by motorists are ample compensation. We should apply the same tarrifs to air travel.
My big brother says 'I think the debate is a load of rubbish and your just gonna make a fool of yourself cuz your just a carwasher', but i completely disagree with him because:
a) he's an idiot
b) he has no idea what he's talking about
c) he doesn't care for the environment
d) he's an idiot
YES Top Gear is funny! I agree with people that they should take the environmental side of it more seriously, but then I also agree that if it offends you so much, don't watch it, and no one takes it seriously anyway. i don't think it would be fair if the programme were to stop because some people were taking it too serously. we all need something to laugh at at the weekend, and if its nutters going on about driving fast cars then so be it.


text: Although there is no reason to put down Arianny, I don't think there is a reason to specifically recognize her UFC octagon girl status as a talent or an accomplishment. That job is just exploiting her sexuality and should be something that young girls should not strive for. Then again, that's just my opinion, and I'm okay if people disagree with my view.

Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub will have to wait a little longer to tangle inside the Octagon.
The heavyweight fight, which was scheduled to take place July 27 at UFC on FOX 8, has been pulled from the card after Mitrione suffered an injury in training, according to sources close to the fight. The same sources indicated that the UFC was leaning towards re-booking the fight on a later card, and as a result, they decided to pull Schaub from the event in Seattle altogether.

This product is the most amazing metallic pink! Although, let me note that without a balm underneath (or the OCC Clear Tar, which I use) it can be drying, so prep the lip accordingly. If you find your lips are quite dry and flaky, make sure to exfoliate beforehand, as this product will accentuate any dry spots you may have. Wear time: Fantastic! The metallic finish stuck to my lips like glue! Feathering: None! Please note, this Lip Tar will set more quickly than the regular finish Lip Tars, but once it sets, it stays put! I went six hours with this including lunch and coffee!

OCC Yaoi Lip Tar ($16.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as a "perfectly pink perlescence." It's a vibrant hot pink with blue undertones and a lighter pink shimmer-sheen. I thought it was a bit like OCC Nylon when I saw it in the tube, but it seems a bit darker, not quite as neon. Chanel Extatique is much more subdued. MAC Candy Yum Yum is cooler-toned, a bit brighter, and has no shimmer. MAC Quick Sizzle doesn't have the shimmer, so it is a bit darker. MAC Show Orchid is them ost comparable, though it isn't quite as vibrant and the shimmer is finer–less metallic. Milani Flashy is slightly lighter, but it has a similar finish–grittier, though.

A lot of you posted that your hospital lets babies go home about 1 week before their due date. (My NICU nurses told me this as well)..but then I see a lot of ppl post that if they delivered around 35 weeks or so they were able to bring baby home.
Is it the norm to wait 1 wk before the dd only if babies were born before 35 weeks, or is this one of those variants that is just different from hospital to hospital?

Yesterday I went to the Peri's office for my routine level 2 ultrasound. I haven't seen the Peri previously, since my OB is both a normal and high risk dr., and managed my last preg. very well. Any way, the peri wasn't in b/c of the holiday. When I mentioned to the sonographer that I was a chronic hypertensive patient, she told me I needed to come in monthly for ultrasound, bp and urine checks (in addition to the bi-weekly appts with my OB). I know they want to be extra cautious. After the sonogram,(which I was very anxious about -- but got an unofficial ok on everything from the Tech.), they proceeded to take my bp and urine. I couldn't believe it when the med. assistant wouldn't tell me what it was! She said, "I'm not trying to be mean, but the doctor goes over the results with you." So I said, "well the doctor's not here, and i was very nervous today." I finally got her to tell me my pressure was a little high (140/80), which I new from anxiety, but she wouldn't even check my urine while I was in the office [:0]. Is this what Perinatologists usually do?? I'm so used to my ob office where I get the news -good or bad-- right then and there. I know frequent ultrasounds are good for checking the baby's growth, but I wasn't too thrilled with the peri experience. am I being too sensitive?

We hope you will make plans to support your local farmers . We had a good variety of items for sale at the market this year. We had customers to sign up at the table each week for a basketful of items from vendors. We had a drawing the last Tuesday of the month. The following customers were winners, Nancy Walls, Una Graham, Tammy Whitaker, Cora Lee Driver and Jennifer Helton.
Thanks to all those that continued to support the market as customers and vendors for the entire year (week after week). Also thanks to the Yadkin Lumber Company, The State Street Steak House, and the Yadkin Masonic Lodge for the signs at the business locations.

Columbia Business School
- Faculty & Research
You are here
The Program on Social Intelligence (PSI), led by Professor Michael Morris of the Management Division, draws on the School's growing expertise in psychology and related social sciences. PSI activities are grounded in a proven blend of empirical assessment, experiential learning, and executive coaching. This combination helps students sharpen their self-awareness, judgment, and decision making and expand their abilities to solve problems. PSI activities, which will continue through the MBA experience from orientation to alumni reunions, have been integrated into core management classes such as Leadership Development, Power and Influence, and Organizational Change.
Through the confluence of different streams of the CBS experience, curricular and extracurricular, leadership capacities broaden and deepen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions about PSI
- What is PSI all about?
The Program on Social Intelligence (PSI), led by Professor Michael Morris of the Management Division, draws on the School's growing expertise in psychology and related research areas such as social network analysis, behavioral economics, and neuroscience. It provides frameworks for understanding the social dynamics of working relationships and opportunities for students to improve their behavioral capabilities in managing these dynamics. By understanding what drives people's behavior when they are acting as individuals, teams, organizations, or networks, students will be better prepared for the leadership challenges of 21st century, including understanding, influencing and empowering diverse colleagues across the globe.
Capabilities are honed in experiential learning simulations in the classroom and in extracurricular workshops. This is complemented by three waves of coaching to guide students'; learning from their actual work interactions with study group members, their interactions with recruiters at events and interviews, and their interactions with summer internship colleagues.
- How do I pursue an independent study?
More information regarding independent studies can be found in the student guide, and you can pick up the required form, as well as additional information, in Uris 105. Students may register for up to 3 credits of independent study per term (the study can be either 1.5 or 3 credits). Independent studies are designed to be independent of the classroom experience and may not be used as a means of adding a seat to a full course.
- Is PSI a degree program?
No. PSI is not a degree program; it is a series of integrated courses and extracurricular activities woven throughout the MBA and EMBA programs at Columbia Business School.
- What is the cut off for dean's list?
Membership on the dean's list is awarded at the end of the first term to students who achieve a 9.0 weighted GPA. In subsequent terms, membership is awarded to all students who achieve a 9.25 weighted term GPA.
- How is PSI delivered to students?
Integrating the expertise of many parts of the Columbia Business School community, including the Management Division and the offices of Admissions, Alumni Relations, Student Life, and Career Services. It is largely delivered through a series of extracurricular activities that span the entire MBA experience, from first-year orientation to alumni reunions. These activities focus on different aspects of leading, starting with managing one's career and managing peers and teams, then shifting toward the challenges of larger organizations and wielding authority. Three streams of extracurricular activities are
- Navigating Careers: Assessment feedback on personal interests, motivators, and strengths is provided in orientation. Experiential workshops provide practice in networking and interviewing successfully. Coaches prepare students to succeed in and learn from management challenges in the summer internship.
- Leading Teams: Assessment feedback on teamwork styles, experiential exercises, and peer advisor coaching are used to help study groups develop effective team processes.
- Advanced Leadership: Continued training and practical experience are offered to second-year MBAs serving as club leaders or peer advisors.
The method of PSI teaching comes from the perspective of leadership as a set of capabilities in understanding and managing interactions. The PSI method is a cycle of individualized assessment, experiential learning activities, and executive coaching. Assessment provides a sense of one's strengths and gaps in an area, experiential activities demonstrate how this plays out when working with others on a business problem and coaching provides an arena for planning change. Then, further assessment helps the student see change, further experiential activities provide an opportunity to practice new capabilities and further coaching helps students monitor progress.
- How does PSI tie into Columbia Business School's curriculum?
Lessons from the PSI extracurricular offerings are reinforced in two Management core classes — Creating Effective Organizations and Leadership Development. Assignments in these classes "loop back" to the PSI assessment feedback that students received in orientation, challenging students to consider the feedback with academic scrutiny as they are coached in light of it by second-year peer advisors, Career Services staff, and external executive coaches. PSI frameworks will also be built upon by related elective courses such as Managerial Negotiations, where the combination of assessment, experiential activities, and coaching has already been implemented with success.
- What spurred the introduction of PSI at Columbia Business School?
The leadership of Columbia Business School — faculty as well as alumni — recognized the need to integrate leadership capabilities into the management education. Much of the impetus for PSI came from Dean Glenn Hubbard, who is focused on building curricular and extracurricular innovations that leverage the research expertise of the Columbia Business School faculty.
- How does PSI compare with how leadership is taught at other top business schools?
The distinctive features of PSI are that it identifies important capabilities through the lens of cutting-edge psychological research and it inculcates them with a blend of pedagogical methods that go beyond the standard lecture and case-discussion formats.
Many programs teach leadership primarily through case studies of leaders past and speeches by current CEOs. The limitation of the "biographies and war stories" pedagogy is that students take away battle plans suited to the last war rather than to the next war. Generation Y managers will be leading different kinds of people in different kinds of organizations. Our program is organized around the psychological capabilities involved in collaborating with, motivating, and leading others. Columbia has the strongest faculty in psychology of any top business school and thus can teach leadership in terms of capabilities in this new way. The MBA program and extracurriculars become a laboratory for learning leadership; students are required to consider their current working relationships in light of the abstract lessons. As a result, PSI focuses on what leadership means to students currently, in the near future and in the new challenges that their generation of leaders will face.
Though other business schools use pieces of these methods, they don't combine these three tools in a coordinated way, spanning extracurricular programs and the core courses. Our involvement of the research faculty ensures that valid assessment tools are used and the results are interpreted soundly and rigorously.
- Is the issue of Social Intelligence something new?
The claim that people's social judgment and facility is distinct from IQ is not new. But new evidence documents this claim and has renewed urgency in the desire to teach it.
The concept of "social intelligence" as distinct from abstract intelligence was first proposed by Columbia University psychologist Edward Thorndike. In 1920, Thorndike made the case that the capabilities required in managing others in the workplace are distinct from the abstract intelligence on which most academic training focuses: "The best mechanic in a factory may fail as a foreman for lack of social intelligence." His proposal of multiple intelligences was debated for decades.
Recently, several new fields of research have contributed stronger evidence for the distinctiveness of social intelligence. Researchers have increasingly moved to studying behavioral performance rather than just answers to test questions. For example, in the field known as behavioral decision making, experiments find that people solve negotiation problems by exchanging nonverbal emotional cues (e.g., Morris and Keltner, 2000; Drolet and Morris, 2000), so social emotions serve an adaptive role. This research area is having a large impact on economics, as evidenced by the awarding of the 2002 Nobel Prize in economics to a psychologist working in this area. In management research, studies have highlighted that people's satisfaction is not just a matter of economic outcomes but of fairness concerns about process, concerns that vary in their forms across cultures (Brockner, Chen, Mannix, Leung, and Skarlicki, 2000). More recently, neuroscience research has begun to map out the brain regions that regulate social interactions, showing that the psychological mechanisms are different from those used in the solving of abstract puzzles (Lieberman and Ochsner, 2001). The writing of Daniel Goleman, especially his new book Social Intelligence, has been instrumental in synthesizing the insights from different research fields about the distinctness of social judgments and social facility.
- How is Social Intelligence relevant to management education?
The new urgency in finding ways to teach social intelligence to business students comes from the changes in the business world. The faster, decentralized nature of modern firms means that leadership is required earlier in one's career. The enlarged global talent pool described by Thomas Friedman (2005) in The World Is Flat means that American businesspeople cannot rely on technical skills for career advantage. They will succeed or fail to the degree that they are able to motivate, empower, and lead colleagues and partners around the globe.
- Is Columbia a center for Social Intelligence research?
It is no coincidence that the campus where the concept of social intelligence was born is also playing a leading role in its renaissance. From Thorndike's day to the present, Columbia has been place where psychology research meets real-world problems, particularly those posed by urban, cosmopolitan life. The importance of social intelligence may be easier to appreciate in New York, given that it is a center of relationship-based professions, such as investment banking, and that it is a diverse community constantly recharged with fresh waves of immigration.
Columbia Business School has built a uniquely strong group of research psychologists. A number of faculty members are jointly appointed at the University's psychology department. An area of emerging strength, together with the Columbia psychology department, is neuroscience studies of decision making and social judgment. Lastly, Teachers College has strong programs in more applied fields relevant to social intelligence, such as the training of executive coaches.

I bought a green and an orange bistro table, and a set of chairs. Loved them. I went back for another orange table. Loved it. I would have bought more chairs but there were none left. Just love the seconds, they are as good as new. Delivery was great, packed well.
Hopefully next year Gardeners will get more chairs and more colors. You can't beat the price of the seconds...Best buy for the money. I mixed them with my other metal tables on my deck, put some lights on the railings and it looks like a bistro. It's a happy look and brings color to my surroundings. Love them!!!

Sciences Building
A Bio-Environment for Future Scientists of the WorldAs science-related programs continue to flourish at Kent State Stark, the new Sciences Building, which began construction in Spring 2014, will play a critical role in providing the necessary resources to enhance student experiences and to attract the brightest scientific minds to Stark County. Jeffrey Carr Construction, of Massillon, was appointed to construct the building, which was designed by the Columbus-based architecture firm, Baxter Hodell Donnelly Preston Inc.
The building will occupy approximately 41,140 square feet with the renovation of approximately 5,250 square feet in existing Main Hall East Wing space. It is expected to open for Fall 2015 classes.
Features of this $17 million project include:
- Teaching gardens and an outdoor classroom.
- Additional lab space with contemporary designs to promote active learning in the sciences and allow each specialty to have its own laboratory and equipment, enhancing student learning and safety.
- Research space for students to gain experiential learning through collaborative research with faculty.
- Eco-friendly building features science displays to inform and engage students in all disciplines while also encouraging environmental responsibility.
- Expanded nursing simulation labs to prepare students for the clinical setting through practice and observation.
- Additional computer labs to benefit a variety of majors in science, communication, business and computer science.
This building will anchor the sciences at the campus and provide a platform for increased student research through hands-on education and active learning. The space is designed to meet current and future student demands and expectations.
As the only public university in Stark County, it is crucial that we continue to provide a high-quality and affordable education. The new Sciences Building allows us to keep up with the pace of science education in order to live up to that standard.
The building is being designed to achieve LEED Gold certification.

Pretty Little Liars Recap: Turn Of The Shoe.Tuesday, June 18 2013
'A' nearly kills Mona, Aria takes self-defense classes, and Hanna uncovers something about her mother.
At the cafe, Hanna tells the girls her mother called from her New York hotel room. They wonder who the woman in the veil was at the funeral. One of them suggests it might have been Melissa. Spencer nixes the idea. Hanna still thinks Alison's alive. Bickering ensues. Mona appears and tries to convince them she's on their side - she invites them to search the RV.
The girls and Mona arrive at the RV site in the dark. It's gone. Mona is freaked out and says somebody stole it. They all look at her skeptically and decide to take-off. When Mona gets in her car, she is choked from behind by 'A'. Emily and Aria rush over as she is thrown out of the vehicle. The car roars around and tries to run them down. Emily lands hard on her shoulder.
At home the next morning, Hanna greets her mom in the kitchen - she didn't hear her come in the night before. They discuss Wilden's funeral. Ashley thinks one of Wilden's enemies decided to do them all a favor. She asks where Hanna found her phone. Hanna lies that it was in the mailbox. Ash says she must have left it at the hotel.
At home, Spencer gets a rejection letter from the University of Pennsylvania. Toby arrives and she wants to blow off school and get breakfast. He says he has to start a job and Spencer accuses him of keeping secrets. Toby isn't surprised about the attempt on Mona's life. He leaves.
Aria and Hanna walk down the street. Aria tells her about 'A' trying to run them down, while Hanna complains about the situation with her mother's cellphone. Hanna wonders if it was Mona, Jenna, or Shana that put it in the casket. They spot Shana. Hanna grills her on why she wasn't at Wilden's funeral. She says she was at swim practice.
At school, Paige shows Emily their future dorm room in California on the computer. Emily winces when Paige touches her shoulder. Paige tells her she must swim tomorrow. Emily says it will be fine.
The girls finish up in Ezra's class and agree to meet Spencer in the courtyard. Spencer hangs back and talks to Ezra about her rejection letter. She's upset - she'll be the first from her family not to go to U Penn. Ezra advises her to apply to other schools and offers help with her essay.
At home, Hanna is on the phone with Emily when she finds a bag with her mother's mud-caked Manolos in it. When Ashley comes in later, Hanna questions her. Ash is short with her and says the shoes are none of her business.
Emily, determined to get through the swim meet, takes prescription drugs that are in her medicine cabinet.
Aria meets Jake, a self-defense instructor, at his studio and arranges to start lessons the next day.
Hanna is outside her house Saturday morning. She's upset because Spencer's not answering her calls. Alison's mom calls her over. Hanna looks up at the window and then hears something. There's a parrot named 'Tippy' on the porch. She sounds like Ali since she spent a lot of time with the bird. Hanna asks Mrs. D if she saw Ali's remains and the woman recalls her last lunch with her daughter. She refused to let her have a sleepover at the shore so Ali held her breath until she gave in.
At the school, Spencer is getting help with her essay from Ezra. He questions her choice to reveal her mental breakdown in her essay. Spencer argues.
Aria is at her self-defense lessons. Jake tells her she must trust him. He realizes she's scared. They carry on and she ends up kissing him. Mortified she leaves. While driving, she spots Mona talking to a cop and tells her to get in, they're late. They pull over and argue. Mona tells her they found a woman's shoe prints in connection with Wilden's death.
At home, Spencer argues with Toby, who moved the RV for 'A'. He made a deal to get something he needed - his mother's file from Radley from the night she killed herself. Spencer reads it to him. He gets teary at the references to wanting to return the love to her son. It doesn't add up to her jumping out the window later. He's sure there's a cover-up. Toby swears Spencer to secrecy. He goes as Aria arrives. They talk about Mona. Hanna arrives with the parrot and learns the cops are looking for pumps and worries Ashley's being framed by 'A'. The parrot sings.
Someone watches Emily in the locker room. It's Shana. She asks why Hanna thinks she was buddies with Wilden and questions her about Paige and the one opening left on the swim team at Stanford. She's going for it too. Emily goes to the pool and Paige cheers. Once in the water, everything looks distorted. She bangs her head and goes unconscious. Paramedics take her out. She wants to finish, and lies that she got her bruise falling off her bike.
At home, Hanna asks Ashley if she was in New York when she was gone. "Did you come back to have it out with Wilden?" Ashley assures her she didn't kill him. Hanna gets a call from Spencer who still has Tippy. She says it's not a song he's singing - it's a phone number.
Jake stops by Aria's house. He had a hunch she might not come back. He asks her out. Her phone rings incessantly. She agrees to coffee and he leaves.
At home, Emily admits to Paige that she was in a lot of pain and took pills. She explains how she hurt her shoulder and why she kept it from her.
Aria joins Spencer and Hanna and they dial the number that Tippy is singing. No one answers. They decide to record the bird's singing but he's gone - and the window's open.
Ashley is watched through the kitchen window as she bags up the shoes. A light flashes.
At a table, 'A' offers Tippy a piece of chicken.
Spoilers for Next Week on Pretty Little Liars:
Melissa returns to Rosewood.
Hanna meets with Detective Holbrook to help her mom.
The girls are led to a mask maker by a clue left by Ali.
Emily's mother is targeted.
Candi's Comments:
I'm wondering what Hanna's mom has done after watching this episode. Also, felt so bad for Toby about his mother's suicide. Very sad. Loved Aria and Jake - amazing chemistry! Did anyone else think 'A' was eating Tippy there for a minute at the end?
