Day 3: Tom, Amy and baby arrive & BEACH
After a chill night and yet another beautiful meal we enjoy yet more sleep... It's holidays after all! Finally late at night Tom, Amy and gorgeous Asher arrived and get settled. We sit up with some wine until late, it's still so warm. We wake late the following morning and head out for lunch. The food is amazing as always. We ordered iced coffee, beer and ouzo all at once (when ...
We arrive in Rhodes! Staying in the old town
... to our accommodation. We arrive in the large square that our apartment is situated off. We get chatted to some Greek men who call our air bnb host for us to collect us. Within 2 mins of conversation one man points out to me (with a confused/concerned tone) that I am very pale. My heart sinks a little, as only I know that I actually have two layers of gradual tan moisturiser on. Our host shows us the digs and it's beautiful. We are right above the ...

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) I finished my SC in cambridge university at Mauritius and secured the best possible results that was six units and A grade in all my subjects except additional mathematics.Due to my high grades one school agreed to admit me directly to +12, i was unable to cope with the mugging up(Byheartening) system and ended up scoring a very low 76.7% which certainly is not enough to secure a medical addmission in a gvmt medial college. Then i paid donation/capitation and joined srm university: I knew i could do the studies by myself regardless of faculty and both my parents were doctors,i mainly joined there because i thought i would have fun but alas to my surprise my batchmates ended up being **** that is different than me and the possibility of having fun was very limited,hence i did not want to be stuck in a such a place for 5.5 yrs and paying around 100,000 dollors for it hence i got a full refund and came out. Whilst in mauritius i was brainwashed by my parents,i never had girlfriends,never got drunk or tried anything fun. Hence i am almost aching to enjoy myself. I am currently preparing for national medical entrance examinations in may. But my problem mainly is which college would be really fun and i can become a good doctor as well?Where we can drink,party,have fun and interact freely with the opposite sex. What happened at srm was that lots of people with 60% being totally brainwashed by their parents from villages had been filling the seats and i felt that i didnt fit in with them and it was too boring...iquit mainly because of the batch the infrastructure was good and as i said faculty will not be a problem. Please help me guyss please i prefer spoiling my youth than wasting it.... I really feel i missed out on everything in mauritius. What will be the best place for me in India: if its via donation i will see if i can pay the required amount and the following fees. Or if one has to get through merit,i will do the neccessary things and get through. help pleeaseeee

Project Islamic bonds are expected to pick up steam in Saudi Arabia with the launch of the first project sukuk this month.
September 27, 2011 2:52 by Reuters
Project Islamic bonds are expected to pick up steam in Saudi Arabia with the launch of the first project sukuk this month as issuers seek to diversify sources of funding following global financial woes that may dry up lending from international banks.
Saudi Arabia, with projects underway worth $623 billion according to the economic weekly MEED, is the largest Gulf markets and is expected to require billions of dollars in financing. Financing has traditionally come from government funds and syndicated loans from local and international banks.
But the launch of the kingdom's first project sukuk instrument earlier this month – a $1 billion Islamic bond to be issued by Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co (SATORP) – is expected to provide a financing alternative and open the doors for more issuance to come.
"The sukuk issuance does potentially change the game quite significantly," said Jarmo Kotilaine, chief economist at National Commercial Bank in Riyadh.
"Most issuers aren't innovators, they are replicators. But there are now advisors out there that are in the position to offer similar solutions. It will generate interest."
That interest comes at a good time as international banks struggle with mounting global economic fears as well as their own balance-sheet woes, making lending less attractive.
"Although it is very likely that a core group of banks will continue to lend to projects in the region, aggregate debt capacity will be eroded and the price of liquidity will likely become more expensive," said Andrew Davison, senior vice president and team leader of EMEA project financing at Moodys.
That creates opportunity for the sukuk market to become an increasingly important potential source of funds, he added.
But issuing project sukuk has been a piecemeal proposition so far. Issuers, such as Saudi International Petrochemical Co (Sipchem), have used sukuk proceeds to partially finance infrastructure projects.
While the offering was oversubscribed, indicating demand, a pure-play project bond had yet to be offered.
SATORP's instrument – a musharaka agreement in which holders become the owners of the project or the assets of the activity – will be used to finance its planned 400,000 barrels per day crude oil refinery in Jubail.
Initial price guidance for the sukuk is seen at 6-month Saudi interbank offered rate (SAIBOR) plus 95-105 basis points.
Final pricing is expected on Sept. 28 and could provide an idea of the demand for such a project, fueling further offerings, said Nabil Issa, partner at King & Spalding in Dubai.
"It's about letting someone else do the homework first, overcome the regulatory hurdles and invest the time and money to prove it can be successful," he said. "I think you'll see a lot more projects being financed by sukuk and becoming more popular after this."
But structuring a sukuk does come with challenges that have prompted potential issuers to seek other forms of financing such as conventional loans or a commodity murabaha, a cost-plus-profit transaction.
Sukuk can be time-consuming and more costly, involving the creation of a special purpose vehicle which uses the sukuk proceeds to pay a contractor to build a future project. And there's no standardised documentation for a sukuk structure.
But there is more willingness now to gain familiarity with sukuk as an alternative.

Photos: Brad Pitt & Quentin Tarantino In Tokyo For 'Inglorious Basterds'
11/4/2009 8:54am EST
Tarantino recently announced a third installment of his "Kill Bill" series will be released in 2014. The proposed "Kill Bill: Vol. 3" will be set 10 years after the last installment to allow Uma Thurman's character, The Bride, to "have a break" from her bloody revenge mission.
Pitt stars in the upcoming "Moneyball" - a real-life tale of Major League Baseball general manager Billy Beane, who built up a winning team despite a decreased budget thanks to his sly use of statistical data to calculate the best - and cheapest - players for his roster.

I found Dr Callahan and her nurse at the time of my service to not have an ounce of empathy. I have a severe needle phobia/panic attacks. I spoke with reception on booking and was assured that would not be a problem for the staff or Doctor. They handle this problem all the time. That was not my experience at all. I was made to feel like a 2 year old, the doctor leaving the room in a very rude manner which prolonged the panic. Would not recommend her for any services. Mainly I think they are just for expensive facial products and procedures. Compassion is no where to be found in this practice.

I am a women in my seventies who has lived in Sarasota for most of my life. Naturally my skin has experienced extensive sun exposure. I recently needed a dermatologist capable of handling cosmetic concerns and their solutions as well as any serious problems due to my aging skin. After doing research, I had selected Dr Callahan because she has the extensive training and experience to expertly treat any problems I might have. I felt that a women would be more understanding and sympathetic in dealing with a woman's cosmetic and medical dermatology issues. As an added plus, she is an animal lover, and is active in many charities benefiting animal welfare.

A. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a floor panel and a method for the manufacture thereof.
B. Discussion of Related Art
More particularly, the invention relates to a floor panel of the type comprising a hard top layer forming a decorative surface, from which, together with other identical or similar floor panels (1), a floor covering can be formed.
In particular, the invention relates to so-called laminated floor panels, such as, for example, described in the international patent application No. WO 97/47934.
By a floor panel with a hard top layer, any form of panel has to be understood which has a hard or relatively hard surface at the side which is to be walked upon, which feature does not exclude that softer materials are incorporated in the panel, nor excludes that the panel can show a certain flexibility.
The floor panels of this type known up to now have the disadvantage that, when walked upon, they are causing a kind of "clacking" sound. In particular the higher tones forming the basis of this sound are experienced as annoying.
It is known to provide an insulating layer loosely under such floor panels, either in the form of a foil, or in the form of insulating panels, whereby the thus formed insulating layer in particular serves as a thermal insulation, however, simultaneously also has some sound-absorbing effect, in particular in downward direction. However, the sound-absorbing effect of an insulating layer provided under the floor panels seems to be rather small, in particular if one intends to reduce reflection sounds, more particularly the so-called "footfall sound".
Also, it is already known to attach an insulating, more particularly thermally insulating, layer in a fixed manner against the underside of the floor panels, which of course offers the advantage that such layer is realized under the floor panels simultaneously with the installation of the floor panels themselves, however, moreover to a large extent is comparable to a separate insulating layer provided beforehand under the floor panels.
Also, it is already known to provide floor panels with a cork covering at the upper side, whereby the top surface thereof whether or not is finished by means of a layer of lacquer, such as transparent varnish or the like, and whereby it is intended, by installing the floor panels, to form a cork floor. In such embodiment, little sound is produced when walking thereon, which is evident, as one will be walking directly on the relatively soft cork. The disadvantage of such floor panels, however, consists in that the appearance of the decorative surface remains limited to the appearance of cork or printed cork, as a consequence of which the usage possibilities are strongly limited.
The present invention aims at a floor panel of the above-mentioned type, in other words, a floor panel comprising a hard top layer forming a decorative surface, which floor panel is realized such that an optimization or at least a considerable improvement of the sound absorption is provided, notwithstanding the presence of the hard or relatively hard surface to be walked on.
To this aim, the invention relates to a floor panel of the type comprising a hard top layer forming a decorative surface, from which, together with other identical or similar floor panels (1), a floor covering can be formed, with as a characteristic that this floor panel comprises at least one sound-absorbing layer which is integrated into the floor panel itself and, to this aim, is located between other layers of this floor panel, in other words, is incorporated into the structural construction of the panel and is not simply provided as a covering against the underside of the floor panel.
By integrating one or more sound-absorbing layers into the floor panel, more particularly at a distance above the underside, as well as at a distance below the top surface, it is obtained that, on one hand, such sound-absorbing layer, independent from the thickness of the floor panel, can be positioned relatively close to the upper surface, whereas, on the other hand, the global structure of such floor panel still can be kept relatively thick and stable. Tests have shown that by integrating the sound-absorbing layer, better results are obtained, on one hand, as the thickness of the material situated thereabove, in which the sound substantially propagates, is reduced and, on the other hand, in that a multilayer construction is created, which obviously also contributes to the desired effect in an advantageous manner.
Also, by integrating the sound-absorbing layer into the floor panel, the possibility is created to keep, at choice at the upper side and/or the underside of the floor panel, material which can be optimally chosen in function of the desired purposes, independent from the choice of material for the sound-absorbing layer.
Preferably, said sound-absorbing layer, viewed according to the thickness of the floor panel, at least extends up into the upper half of this panel. Still more particularly, the sound-absorbing layer will be entirely situated in the upper half. Thereby, a relatively thick and consequently stable basic structure can be maintained under the sound-absorbing layer, whereas the sound-absorbing layer is situated close to the top surface, which contributes to an optimum sound absorption. As a relatively thick basic structure can be maintained, it is not necessary to deviate from standard thicknesses of 1 cm or less for the floor panels, and it is even possible to apply the invention while keeping the traditional thicknesses of the floor panels of 7 to 8 mm, or even thinner.
Preferably, the sound-absorbing layer, or if there are several thereof, the upper sound-absorbing layer, is situated with its upper side at a distance below the upper side of the floor panel which is smaller than 4 mm, and even better is smaller than or equal to 2 mm. As a result thereof, a particularly good sound absorption is obtained, whereas it still remains possible to realize a sufficiently solid top surface with a sufficient bearing capacity and impact resistance.
According to another preferred characteristic, the floor panel comprises only one sound-absorbing layer integrated between other layers, as a consequence of which the constructive design of such floor panel remains relatively simple. Moreover, thereby it can be achieved that, by realizing this sole sound-absorbing layer as thin as possible, a relatively large thickness remains which is available for one or more structural basic layers, for example, basic layers giving global strength to the floor panel, such as layers formed of wood-based board material, more particularly MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and/or HDF (High Density Fiberboard).
Preferably, the floor panel, apart from the sound-absorbing layer and the top layer, then also at least comprises one structural basic layer. Although various structural basic layers can be incorporated into the floor panel, this latter, according to an important preferred form of embodiment, will comprise only one structural basic layer, which contributes to the constructive simplicity of the whole.
In a particularly preferred form of embodiment, the top layer is attached directly on top of the sound-absorbing layer, more particularly without the intermediary of structural basic layers. Therefore, the material thickness above the sound-absorbing layer is minimum, which contributes to a good sound absorption, as the propagation of sound in the upper layer is impeded. Still more particularly, it is preferred that below the structure formed by the sound-absorbing layer with the top layer directly attached thereon, at least one structural basic layer is present. In this manner, a floor panel with a stable base is obtained, whereby, however, simultaneously a good sound absorption is created.
In the most preferred form of embodiment, the construction even is such that the floor panel, with the exception of possible adhesive layers or the like, and with the exception of an insulating layer possibly provided at the underside of the floor panel, exclusively consists of the structural basic layer, the sound-absorbing layer provided on top thereof, and the top layer provided on top of this sound-absorbing layer.
According to another form of embodiment of the present invention, at least one additional layer of material, preferably a structural basic layer, is present between the sound-absorbing layer and the top layer, which allows that to this aim, a material can be chosen which forms an optimum sublayer for the applied top layer, for example, which allows to function as a support for a decorative layer, when such decorative layer, for example, is such that it can not be directly attached onto the applied sound-absorbing material. Such additional layer, which, in a practical embodiment, can consist of wood-based board material, such as particle board or fiberboard, more particularly MDF and/or HDF, for example allows to provide the floor panel trouble-free with a decorative top layer, formed by so-called DPL (Direct Pressure Laminate). With DPL, one or several sheets of material impregnated with resin, amongst which a printed decorative layer made of paper, are directly compressed onto the underlying layer, whereby simultaneously heat is supplied, such that an adherence is obtained automatically. As in the above-said construction, the DLP is pressed upon the HDF, MDF or the like, in other words, onto one and the same material surface as in traditional floor panels, the same adhesive quality and stability can be achieved, without the necessity of special precautions.
The preceding, however, does not prevent the application of a top layer according to the DPL principle directly on the sound-absorbing layer, when the material thereof allows this, which may be determined by tests.
According to another form of embodiment of the present invention, the sound-absorbing layer is located between two structural basic layers. As a consequence, a floor panel is obtained which can be processed and/or coated in a traditional manner at the upper side as well as at the underside thereof, for example, can be coated, as aforementioned, by DPL, either preceding to composing the layer structure of which the floor panels then consist, or after such composing.
As already mentioned in the aforegoing in respect to several forms of embodiment, it can be stated in general that it is preferred to use board material consisting of wood or being wood-based for the aforementioned structural basic layers, more particularly pressed plates which are formed of wood-comprising material, for example, wood parts, such as chips or fibers, which are mixed with a binding agent.
In particular, for one or more of the structural basic layers, use is made of plate material formed by MDF and/or HDF. Still more particularly, all structural basic layers applied in the floor panel shall consist of MDF and/or HDF.
The use of such wood-based structural basic layers offers the advantage to enable the manufacture of the panels in an economic manner, as well as the application of traditional processing methods and tools.
Moreover, MDF and HDF, and in general similar fiberboards, too, provide a fiber structure with fibers which are substantially situated in a horizontal plane, which is particularly advantageous for the strength of the finished product. As, according to the invention, a sound-absorbing layer is integrated into the floor panels, the remaining thickness for structural basic layers mostly is rather restricted. By using boards with a fiber structure, the fibers of which substantially are situated in the horizontal plane, the strength, however, remains guaranteed, even if these structural basic layers have become rather thin.
The floor panel may be provided with one or more backing layers, which in particular are intended to offer a counterbalance against warping. In a practical form of embodiment, such backing layer is provided at least at the underside of the floor panel, in order to offer a balance for the top layer situated at the upper side of the floor panel.
Also, covering layers and/or backing layers can be incorporated into the floor panel at other locations, which layers preferably are situated at the upper side and/or underside of structural basic layers which form part of the respective floor panel. In this manner, per structural basic layer a balancing effect can be provided for, without having other layers exerting an influence thereupon.
In a preferred form of embodiment, the floor panels are provided with coupling parts at two or more of their edges. In a simple form of embodiment, these coupling parts may consist of a traditional tongue and groove. More particularly, however, use shall be made of coupling parts of the type providing for a vertical, as well as horizontal locking, for example, as described in the international patent application WO 97/47934.
Although it is not excluded that such coupling parts, more particularly the tongue-shaped part thereof, as well as possibly the walls of the groove-shaped part thereof, are formed entirely out of the material of the sound-absorbing layer, it is preferred that these coupling parts are formed at least partially of one or more of said structural basic layers. This, in fact, offers the advantage that the coupling parts still have the same qualities in respect to strength, flexibility and the like, as this is the case with floor panels with a traditional construction.
Regardless whether the coupling parts are manufactured from the material of a structural basic layer of from another material, it is always preferred that these coupling parts are situated substantially, and preferably entirely, outside of the sound-absorbing layer or layers, in other words, that these coupling parts and the sound-absorbing material, viewed in the height, are situated at different levels in the floor panels. This offers the advantage that, when, as described in the following, the sound-absorbing layer or layers are realized in a material which offers little strength and/or are realized in a material which is difficult to process, the strength of the coupling parts and/or the degree of difficulty of forming them is not or only minimally influenced in a disadvantageous manner due to the presence of the sound-absorbing layer. This latter is in particular valid for embodiments in which the sound-absorbing layer consists of synthetic material and in which the coupling parts are formed by means of a milling process. Milling in the synthetic material indeed may cause problems in respect to cooling, and preferably, the cutting surface through the synthetic material thus will be restricted to a minimum, which, as aforementioned, is possible by situating the coupling parts to be formed outside of the sound-absorbing layer.
More particularly, the sound-absorbing layer or layers are situated above the coupling parts. In this manner, such layer can be situated close to the upper surface, and therefore the sound insulation remains maximum.
The sound-absorbing layer can consist of various materials. Particularly good results, in respect to absorption as well as in respect to processability, are obtained by applying cork or a cork-based material.
Cork also offers the advantage that the final floor panels still are easy to recycle, such contrary to embodiments in which the sound-absorbing layer consists of synthetic material.
Other advantages of cork are the following:
Cork also is particularly recommended for being applied as a sound-absorbing layer directly under the top layer, as in this manner a good adherence of the top layer can be guaranteed. Also, vibrations, amongst which sound vibrations, are absorbed almost immediately in the cork.
According to another practical form of embodiment, use will be made of a sound-absorbing synthetic material, preferably polyurethane.
According to a particular characteristic, the sound-absorbing layer is formed of a material layer which can be wound up in itself, to which aim, for example, a thin layer of cork or a thin layer of synthetic material can be applied. Such windable material offers the advantage that it is easy to utilize in a production process, in particular in a continuous process, whereby the sound-absorbing layer systematically must be provided on and/or between plate-shaped structural basic layers. The sound-absorbing material then can be unwound systematically onto the underlying structural basic layer and can be attached thereto.
In general, it is preferred that the sound-absorbing layer has a thickness of less than 2 mm, such in order to keep a relatively large thickness for other layers, for example, for said structural basic layers. In most applications, moreover a more economical product will be obtained, as the material for forming the structural basic layers, for example, MDF and/or HDF, mostly is cheaper than the material for the sound-absorbing layer.
Also the thickness of said top layer preferably is limited, more particularly to less than 1 mm.
The top layer preferably is realized according to any of the following possibilities:
The laminate layer constructed of material sheets may be of different kind. Preferably, to this aim use will be made of HPL (High Pressure Laminate) or the like, which, as known, consists of different layers of resin or layers formed by supports, such as lengths of paper, which are impregnated with resin, which layers are compressed to a whole and are cured. Also, so-called formica or the like can be applied. According to another variant, one may also start from "compact laminate" as a top layer, which then, instead of being applied as such, is fixed upon underlying layers, which layers, in accordance with the invention, comprise at least one sound-absorbing layer. Further, also the use of DPL (Direct Pressure Laminate) or LPL (Low Pressure Laminate) or the like is not excluded, in any case if the layer situated below the top layer allows this. The top layer also may be reinforced, for example, by means of a reinforcement fleece or such, it may comprise a wear and tear-resistant upper layer, and so on.
In the case that the top layer is fixed directly on top of the sound-absorbing layer, and in particular if this sound-absorbing layer is somewhat compressible, for example, when it consists of cork, it is preferred that a relatively strong laminate layer constructed in layers is used, such as the aforementioned HPL or formica. The necessary thickness of the top layer to be used therewith can be determined empirically by means of strength tests, whereby it is tested whether, for example, in function of the thickness of the top layer sufficient impact resistance, resistance against perforations and such is obtained.
Particularly good results in respect to sound absorption, as well as in respect to the general composition, are obtained with a structure composed of, successively from the bottom to the top, a structural basic layer formed by a plate-shaped wood-based material, more particularly MDF/HDF, a sound-absorbing layer formed by cork, and a top layer formed from HPL or the like.
According to a particular form of embodiment, the sound-absorbing layer will be integrated into the top layer, which, of course, is possible in different ways. So, for example, this can be realized by taking up a particularly thin cork layer, when forming the HPL or the like, between two of the material layers of which the HPL is formed.
It is noted that said cork can be applied pure or mixed with other material, for example, as a filling agent present in other materials.
Finally, the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a floor panel, more particularly a floor panel with an integrated sound-absorbing layer. To this end, it provides for a method, whereby first, composed plates of a larger size are manufactured, from which subsequently each time several floor panels are formed, characterized in that said plates are manufactured at least by supplying one or more board-shaped structural basic layers, supplying material, wound up in rolls, for forming said sound-absorbing layer, and unwinding this material from those rolls, as well as supplying the top layer or the material for forming such top layer, whereby the respective composed layers are provided on top of each other.
As, according to this method, use is made of a windable sound-absorbing material, this latter is easy to handle in a production process, as then, the sound-absorbing material easily can be unwound and subsequently be attached upon the plate-shaped structural basic layers. Also, it possibly may be directly fixed upon such basic layer by rolling it thereon, by the intermediary of an adhesive agent, adhesive layer or the like.
It is clear that the different layers of the floor panels of the invention can be attached to each other in any manner. This may be performed, for example, by means of appropriate kinds of glue or other adhesive materials, by having certain layers cure on top of each other or by fixing them upon each other by melting, or by providing thin double sided adhesive layers in between them.
When mentioning a "direct" attachment of the top layer on an underlying layer, this does not exclude that thin layers are present in between, by which then, for example, adhesive layers, fleeces, foils and the like are intended which do not have a considerable thickness.
It is clear that floor panels in which materials in the form of an integrated layer are applied, providing for a distinct sound-absorbing effect, even if those materials are integrated into such floor panel in the first place for other purposes, also are within the scope of the invention.
With the intention of better showing the characteristics of the invention, hereafter, as an example without any limitative character, several preferred forms of embodiment are described, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
As represented in
As schematically represented in
Viewed according to the thickness T of the floor panel 1, as represented, the sound-absorbing layer 4 thus is situated at a distance D1 above the underside 5 of the floor panel 1, as well as at a distance D2 below the upper side 2.
As explained in the introduction, the distance D2 preferably is as small as possible, and in a practical application, this distance thus will be smaller than 4 mm, or even better, will be smaller than or equal to 2 mm.
As represented in
Of course, other forms of coupling parts 10-11 can be applied, for example, of the type which, as represented in
As further represented in
Apart from the sound-absorbing layer 4, the floor panels 1 can be constructed from several layers in different manners. In consideration of the fact that this construction may differ, in
In the example of
However, it is clear that the construction below the sound-absorbing layer 4 also can be of another kind.
In a practical form of embodiment of the example of
The backing layer 16 can be constructed in a similar manner as the top layer 3, however, with the difference that a decorative surface is formed at the top layer 3, for example, in that in the layer structure of the top layer 3, a printed decorative layer is provided, whereas this is not necessary at the backing layer 16. The decorative surface at the top layer 3 can be of different kind and, for example, may comprise an illustration forming an imitation of parquetry or wood.
Preferably, the different layers are provided on top of each other by means of an appropriate adhesive, to which end, for example, adhesives can be used which usually are applied for attaching HPL and the like upon a sublayer.
According to
The embodiments of the
The form of embodiment of
In general, it is clear that the application of covering layers and/or backing layers in particular is favourable in combination with structural basic layers consisting of materials traditionally applied for laminated floors, whereby in first instance thus MDF and/or HDF are intended. However, the use of such covering layers and/or backing layers is not always necessary.
According to a not-represented variant to the embodiment of
In combination with such bevelled part 24, preferably cork will be used for the sound-absorbing layer 4, as this can easily be printed on by, for example, said transfer printing.
of course, such bevelled part 24 also can be applied in all other forms of embodiment.
Although in the figures only embodiments with one sound-absorbing layer 4 are represented, it is clear that according to variants, also several sound-absorbing layers 4 can be integrated in such floor panel 1. Also the structural basic layers 15-18-19 in their turn can be composed of several layers, whether or not provided with more or less covering layers or backing layers.
The mutual attachments of the different layers can be realized, as aforementioned, in any manner.
According to a particular technique, one or more layers can be applied which will melt by heating them at their upper surface and which, by subsequently bringing them together with other layers, can be adhered to these latter.
The sound-absorbing material can be of different kind. In general, hereby a material has to be understood which shows considerably better sound-absorbing qualities than the structural basic layers, such as MDF and HDF, which traditionally are applied in such floor panels.
Although the layer situated below the sound-absorbing layer 4 preferably is a structural basic layer, and consequently mostly consists of a layer which does not show any particular sound-absorbing characteristics, it is not excluded to provide, according to a variant, a sound-absorbing layer, whether or not consisting of the same material, under the sound-absorbing layer 4 integrated according to the invention, for example, instead of a structural basic layer.
The present invention is in no way limited to the forms of embodiment described as an example and represented in the figures, on the contrary, such floor panels, as well as the aforementioned method, can be realized according to different variants, without leaving the scope of the invention.

Daily Lectionary with Prayers and Reflections on Scripture and World
I'm taking a break from reflecting on the Revised Common Lectionary. Instead, I'm reading the Apocrypha for a while.
Saturday, April 28, 2012
Knowing love, showing love, Reflection on 1 John 3:16-18
We know that God loved us because of what Christ has done for us. God's love came to us before we had done anything to deserve it. Because God loved us, we are supposed to help those in need.
Because God loved us. Not in order to get God to love us. That's already happened.
And love is not just that warm emotion. The love in this letter is acted out in deed.

Now that my OpenGL application is getting larger and more complex, I am noticing that it's also getting a little slow on very low-end systems such as Netbooks. In Java, I am able to get around this by drawing to a BufferedImage then drawing that to the screen and updating the cached render every one in a while. How would I go about doing this in OpenGL with C++?
I found a few guides but they seem to only work on newer hardware/specific Nvidia cards. Since the cached rendering operations will only be updated every once in a while, i can sacrifice speed for compatability.
glVertex2f(0, 0); //TL
glVertex2f(appWidth, 0); //TR
glVertex2f(appWidth, appHeight); //BR
glVertex2f(0, appHeight); //BR
This is something that I am especially concerned about. A gradient that takes up the entire screen is being re-drawn many times per second. How can I cache it to a texture then just draw that texture to increase performance?
Also, a trick I use in Java is to render it to a 1 X height texture then scale that to width x height to increase the performance and lower memory usage. Is there such a trick with openGL?

TUESDAY, March 19 (HealthDay News) -- More than 180,000 deaths worldwide in 2010 were linked to a high intake of sugar-laden drinks, a new study estimates, including 25,000 deaths in the United States.
Most deaths occurred in middle- to low-income countries, the Harvard researchers noted.
The findings are surprising because "we often think of this as a problem only in high-income countries, like the U.S.," said lead researcher Gitanjali Singh, a research fellow at Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston.
She said her findings, presented Tuesday at an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans, point to a need for policies that curb people's sugary drink intake.
One such effort, in New York City, is currently in the spotlight. Last week, a judge struck down Mayor Michael Bloomberg's controversial limit on large sweetened sodas and other sugary beverages, one day before the rule was to go into effect. Bloomberg said he would appeal the decision and defended his plan, which would have limited the size of sugary drinks sold at restaurants, food carts and theaters to 16 ounces.
Singh said that's not the only type of measure officials could take. Others could include taxing sugar-added drinks, or limiting advertising of the beverages to children.
But "anti-soda" moves are a tough sell -- not only because the beverage industry and many consumers resist. It's also hard to pin ill health effects on one component of people's diets, even if it's a nutritionally dubious one.
These latest findings do not prove that sugary drinks kill people. They only show a correlation between high consumption and deaths from heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
"This type of study cannot prove cause-and-effect," said Lona Sandon, an assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

They were very thorough in their examination of her. Very pleased overall by our experience that we have switched over to their veterinary practice.

From what I gather, the Hough algorithm detects lines but not segments.
Does anyone know of how I would go about this, or any libraries suitable for this?

Right, just want to comment on previous comments it may help someone. I have used seb potion 9 for years, from what I understand it was taken over by Wella and yes for those that really know this product I would say mainly that the oil content has gone down so it does not put back so well what shampoo has taken out! Potion 9 is still better than most other products of its kind on the market. For those experiencing dryness I would say look at the shampoo you are using, use less of it as many use too much. I have found the sebastian drench shampoo & conditioner to work well with potion 9 for my long wavy hair and would recommend for any hair type. Try it I can tell you it is one of the very best for hair condition and texture DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!

On and off I have been using this. I particularly go to it when my hair is damaged. Recently, I went for a trim and she cut off six inches. That was a lot, and now I have to flat iron every day. I am very worred about damage, so I bought this again to leave in because as I grow out my hair, I want it to be in great shape always. It's a good product - it does define my waves so I can leave as is and it looks full an shiny, or I can flat iron and my hair still looks full. My colour seems to like this product and it looks bright with great tone. I remember a hair dresser once remarking how much my hair liked this product and I think it does. My hair does not like protein treatments for some reaso as a rule, but there are a couple of products that are ok as long as I alternate - this is one of them. I always like to have this on hand and I like that it makes my hair look thick and healthy (although not as soft as all-soft leave in!).
EDIT: July 18, 2011 Haven't used it in a while, my hair is so dry and long and nothing was helping. Found it, put in a good dollop and braided it. The next morning, shine and softness which I haven't felt in a while. Still a great item.

i bought this because a friend told me how much she loved it and she has lovely hair. well it didn't do anything nice for my hair, this stuff made it feel kinda dirty and not soft at all, as if i hadn't conditioned or something. also made my hair limp and ruined the natural waves i usually have. i don't like the smell either, definitely won't be repurchasing.

This is one product that I go back to again and again. My hair is straight and waves a bit if I air dry - which I do 99% of the tie. I live in a very dry climate and this protects and saves my hair from frizz and anything else the weather throws at it. The trick is to not use too much, just a dab will do and I have long hair. Long hair that gets constant compliments on it's shine. I have tried other things, but I always come back to this. One tube lasts a long time, so the expense is worth it.
Nice fresh smell too.

My packaging comment refers to the new pump package. The old tube-style package was the worst. Overall rating is for the current version. I think Potion 9 used to be a better product. Details below.
Potion 9 used to be my HG hair product. I've been using it since the early 90s! I used to buy the huge tub of it. However, starting about two years ago it didn't seem to work as well for me. Back in the early 2000s and earlier, I would wash my hair, towel dry, put a little Potion 9 in, twirl my curls, then shake my head, and air dry. Perfect curls every time. Then about two years ago this procedure stopped working. I added defrizzers -- Rusk Str8 + Rusk Calm Leave-In. That helped. I experimented with other curl tamers and nothing worked any better. So, I stuck with my cocktail of Potion 9, St8, and Calm. Now, however, (now being since the change to the new pump style packaging) this cocktail doesn't work either. Potion 9 used to keep my hair soft. (As for the crunchiness: once my hair dried, all I had to do was run my fingers through it once and the crunch was gone.) Now, Potion 9 dries my hair out. The curls still look good if I put lots of time into the twirling part of the process. But that irritates me because with the old version of Potion 9 I could do a quick and dirty twirl job and get the same results.
I've found that if I use just a little (about a dime-sized amount) my hair will feel soft and conditioned. But such a small amount does not tame my frizzies. The curls look awful.
So, I won't be purchasing Potion 9 again. I don't want to have to choose between dried out hair with nice curls or soft and frizzy hair. (And besides, I think if I keep letting Potion 9 dry out my hair I won't be able to get nice curls no matter how much time I spend twirling.) I haven't found a replacement, unfortunately. I guess I'll be flat ironing my hair more often since I no longer have a product that will tame my curls. :-(

I had such high hopes for this product, because I have heard so much good stuff about it. But when I put it on you couldnt even tell that I had anything in my hair. My hair was still really frizzy and big, but it did make it kind of soft. But other products can tame frizz and soften for a lot less. I think it is true that this product doesnt do anything for people with frizzy curly hair.

This product has to be one of the most overrated-overhyped products online. I have 3c curls and this product dried my hair to the follicle. I have tried to use it multiple times - after the shower, after deep conditioning, when hair is damp, when hair is dry, and the results are conclusive: Potion 9 does not live up to its promise. Will not repurchase.

This dried my hair out! I have fine but thick straight, healthy hair and was so excited to try this but it doesn't work for me. It also has a smell that did not agree with me and my allergies.

This stuff makes my hair so soft. The texture is thin enough for easy distribution to the hair. It has a pretty good hold too for my permed curls; it's better than any curl lotions I have tried. It seems like it's able to make the softness last longer too until my next hair wash. LOVE this stuff!
Update addition: I just purchase the NEW Potion 9 in a spray/pump bottle. I thought it maybe a spray formula, but actually, it's the exact same gel orange stuff with different packaging.
