Hi, I recently lost my wallet which had my debit card and pin number in it (idiotic to the extreme, I know), and reported it to my bank a week later after I realized I had 1) actually lost it and 2) it wasn't hiding in my house somewhere. It took about 2 weeks for my new card to come but as soon as it did, I checked the balance and £160 was taken out on June 2nd I know that this is all completely my own fault, so my question is, is there any point in even ringing Halifax to see if they will do anything?
Thanks, Adam.
Lost card and pin number, £160 gone :(

It might be a good idea, as you'd be able to find out where the money was taken out and see if there is any CCTV in the area to see who took it. It is a crime to take money from another person's account, so reporting it to the police would be a good idea.

You should get in touch with Halifax, see what they have to say. It may be worth getting in touch with the police as well, you never know there may be CCTV footage near the ATM. They should know what time the money was taken, so its possible to find who did it, in theory.
One of the pre-requisites of banks covering fraudulent activity is that you have to keep your pin safe so no I'm afraid they wont help you.
Ok, I'll give them a ring and then the police. Thanks for the quick replies

halifax then the police
I think banks say they will claim no responsibility for funds lost if they are taken after you have lost it, and before you have reported it to them as missing. Also the fact that you had your pin along side the card....
Of course there's no harm in trying...Good luck.

I doubt the bank will do much if you had your PIN with you.

Well, this is 2012 and everything people do leaves an electronic trail now. Presumably that money was drawn out at a cashpoint, in which case it might be possible to check where and when it happened. Maybe there were CCTV cameras pointed at the cashpoint at the time. Or, it may have been used to order something to an address which you might be able to find out. Finding out who did this may be possible.

They won't give you any compensation or any other help as because this was your fault :-/ but you can try anyway and then contact the police

If you don't ring the bank, they won't put a stop on the card and you could end up losing all the rest of your money. Do it now.
I just rang them and they can't refund the money, as you guys said. The woman didn't even ask about pin numbers though until I mentioned I had wrote it down, so I think they would have done it I have hadn't spoken up Thanks for the help though guys.

Why did they only take 160 pounds? What a weird thing to do.

How did they manage to withdraw that money unless you had your pin number with the card, in which case they might look down on it somewhat.. otherwise it should be reimbursed as it was lost through fraud...i think

You put your pin in your wallet? I think you need more help than Halifax could ever offer you.

The changing nature of employment-related sexual harassment: Evidence from the U.S. federal government, 1978-1994
This paper examines the changing nature of attitudes toward and reports of sexual harassment using data for 1978-94 drawn from the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (USMSPB) of the U.S. federal government. The authors find that although unwanted sexual behavior reported by federal government employees changed only slightly in overall incidence over the period, its pattern changed noticeably. Unwanted sexual attention by supervisors, for example, declined in incidence; crude and offensive behavior by co-workers increased; and the likelihood that harassment would occur only once (rather than repeatedly) increased. Employees' attitudes toward sexual harassment changed markedly, with a dramatically increased willingness to define unwanted sexual behavior as sexual harassment. This trend appears to have been due not to changes in employees' demographic, human capital, and job characteristics, but rather to structural changes in their views of what constitutes sexual harassment.

February 28, 2013 | Vol. 116 -- No. 45
As a Cheney resident I look out my window and see many hungry college kids wandering the streets at night. I think that this has great potential for the members of our society to be brought together through their hunger.
All of the places in Cheney that are open 24 hours a day are always booming. I think that opening up a small 24 hour grocery store would be very beneficial for the Cheney population and bring some lively spirit to downtown Cheney.
A grocery store has more variety and if there are personal items that needed to be purchased late at night, that would a very convenient place to have. Every time that I drive by Zip's late at night, it is packed. So obviously, a place in Cheney to buy food at all hours of the night would be very popular. It would not go unused and I think that our college-aged members of society would be very grateful and appreciative.

Feels like a head vice.
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: lightweight, volume control
Cons: I bought the Koss KTXPro1 headphone locally, because I wanted to try it without worrying about return shipping. Upon plugging it in, I was confronted with poor sound and a constant hum in both speakers. Most likely, due to the high reviews I am seeing, I must have purchased a lemon.
Other Thoughts: I am replacing an older Koss that had good sound and was very comfortable. After using it a little over a year, the frame just snapped for no reason.

Cons: Slight irratant wearing for 5 hours on the ears BUT wearing anything that long , can't complain.

Best Headphones Ever

Pleasantly surprised
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: For the price, very good sound...beyond what I expected! Light and comfortable to wear. 1/8 inch plug with 1/4 inch adapter included. External volume control just what I wanted.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I bought these to replace an older version from the same maker. Finally wore out the old pair and needed a new set of phones. Seem pretty sturdy.

Does the job
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: Good sound quality
Cons: Could have more size adjustments
Did you find this review helpful?
cheap sound, without sound cheap
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: not an audiophile by any means, sounds decent, reasonably comfortable for long duration wear. doesnt jam glasses frames into your temples. good all-arounders, tv movies music games, you name it
Cons: lasted about 9 months before one of the speaker wires came loose inside the jack
Other Thoughts: speakers sit slightly forward on the ears, so it mostly sits on the side of your head, rather than pressing your ears flat, but loses a little richness of sound for it, mostly in the bass frequencies
Did you find this review helpful?
Excellent Headphones
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: I've used these lightweight, comfortable headphones for the last fifteen years and I recommend them to everyone. They have remarkable sound quality. The bass is strong but evenly matched with the mid and upper frequencies. I've given away more than 20 of these as cheap gifts and everyone, including musicians, remarks about the sound quality. If you've been using the phones that came with your mp3 player, you'll be amazed at how much better your music will sound. The cord is a good length for a portable clip on your belt mp3 player and it has a volume controller on the cord. They are perfect for your computer or TV too. The phones fit all head sizes and shapes. You will forget you are wearing them because they are so lightweight.
Cons: Really, at this price, if you have any trouble with these phones, just buy another or 3 others. But if you are a homeless person on a budget the cons are: The volume control may give out on you after some use. The one I use with my desktop computer is still working and sounding perfectly after 8 years but I've had others that lost sound in one ear within a year of heavy use. The plastic on the adjustable band is a little flimsy. Replacing the foam ear pads is tricky for me.
Other Thoughts: Even at five times the price they are still a bargain in terms of their excellent sound quality and comfort. I've worn these for ten hours straight while working in the yard and I forget I've got them on because they are so lightweight and comfortable. Most importantly, they sound great.

Optimus Pro 35
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: Enormous 1.5" titanium diaphragms and neodymium magnets. Don't be fooled by higher priced items. These headphones have been around for over a decade under several different brands. Time tested to say the least. I'm a gamer and these hit the low notes VERY clearly. Night and day difference. After 8 years of faithful service, the left earpiece died.
Cons: One time I had a hair in it that made a rattling sound. Had to take the foam cushion off to pull it out.
Other Thoughts: If you're a gamer or an audiophile, don't pass these up for something more expensive. You can buy two for the price of something more expensive and less impressive. They also make an earcup version if that's your thing.
Did you find this review helpful?
BANG for the buck
This review is from: Koss KTXPRO1 Stereo Headphone
Pros: They Sound Great for Cheap. As I've seen noted elsewhere, they have powerful, tight bass, reminds me of the ancient Koss Pro4As that got me through college - but more clarity. Nothing else like it in this price range. Needed clear, bass-capable phones for my home recording rig, these will do it.
Cons: Seem a bit fragile, and I'm guessing the on-the-ear design is not going to be as comfortable as my Sony earbuds or no-name circumaural headphones. But for the sound, I'll put up with a lot.

What I learned from others contributions:
I have been reading a lot of posts from everyone's blog ( May 10th-24th). Every body has been finding so many different ideas, videos, pictures, quotes, etc and sharing them. I really appreciate the thought and time spent in every post and every post has definitely given me lots to think about.
Session Two: Michael Wacker All Things Google– Reflection, comments, and questions:
This session was all about google: how to use it, where to find useful apps, etc. I found it extremely interesting and definitely learnt a lot. I spent a lot of time exploring and have found several really great apps. I have been thinking about apps that could be used in the younger elementary years( pre- k- 5) as I am hoping to focus my teaching practice on those grades (especially grade 1 and 2). I wonder how other teachers have used technology in those specific grades.
Session Three: Will Richardson Why School?– Reflection, comments, and questions:
This session was all about looking at the role of schools and of teachers in the 21st century. This presentation was particularly difficult for me mostly because it was so overwhelming to think about. This session opened my eyes to the reality that my colleagues and I have a huge job to do that will likely involve lots of change. At first it scared me a lot but as I have reflected on it doesn't scare me as much. When I started out thinking about becoming a teacher I really wanted to be a part of the learning process that my students would go through and the 'ah ha' moments. I wanted them to experience learning in a positive way and be inspired. I still do want these things but I have come to realize that one of they ways to do this is to incorporate technology into the classroom, allow the students to take control of their learning, realize that I am just a part of that learning process, and to show them that I am a learner too. Thank you Will Richardson for sharing with us!
Session Four: Sue Waters Becoming a Better Blogger– Reflection, comments, and questions:
This session was about how to create a better blog. Sue gave me lots of tips and ideas for making my own blog better. Thank you so much Sue for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thank you Lena Dunham, for donning an army of Samantha Jones-es in power suits. We salute you. More

Maybe women today are "unfriendly" because we live in a shitty economy and we're more worried about earning money and paying our rent than designer shoes and whether or not Mr. Big is going to give us a toothbrush head. Maybe we aren't as concerned about being a "good friend" because we have to hustle our asses off just to stay afloat. More
I learned so much from the pre-jaded version of Carrie Bradshaw. More
It's pretty commonly accepted that we all decry Sex and the City, now. It seems a bit like a relic of an earlier time (she was able to spend that much on clothes while working on one newspaper column? She was a columnist who did not know how to work e-mail?) And, gosh, that second movie was terrible. Really, really terrible. Basically only about buying stuff and making puns. So Emily Nussbaum's New Yorker piece on how it was actually a very good, progressive, feminist show is fascinating. More
It's been a few years since Elliot Spitzer resigned from office following the Ashley Dupre scandal, and he's back! And not just on that very unfortunate talk show! He's running for NYC comptroller against Kristin Davis, the "Manhattan Madam" who supplied him with call girls. More
I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER HOW MANY LICKS IT TAKES TO GET TO THE TOOTSIE ROLL CENTER OF A TOOTSIE ROLL POP… More
I never really smoked. I certainly don't now that it's banned pretty much everyplace in New York. In spite of that, when I smell smoke on someone's clothing, I find myself almost immediately nostalgic. That man or woman strikes me as a last holdout of a bygone world, bravely flutter-kicking against any currents of change. I feel about them the way I might have felt happening upon someone making horsehoes in 1920. That is to say, I don't miss cigarettes so much as I miss the culture that went with them. More
You're Marnies, all of you. More
Despite my disdain for the character Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, I do have a soft spot for the show in my heart. More

At least two of the blogs we read have posted articles relating to a Wall Street Journal feature about how non-profit hospitals in America are doing pretty darn well on the money front. Schwitzer Health News Blog and GoozNews have both written about this eye-opening story, and I had to go read it for myself.
Non-profit hospitals, which account for about 60% of hospitals in the US, get tax breaks that their for-profit cousins don't. In return, they're supposed to provide care for the indigent and poor, and give back to their communities in the form of charity care. But the "community benefit" part of the deal seems to be pretty loosely enforced and interpreted. In St. Louis, the BJC Health Care hospital system counts employee salaries as part of its community benefit. Of the $1.8 billion that it reported as community benefit expenses in 2004, $937 million was employee salaries, and only $35 million was charity care.
The women's hospital at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago has a lobby with marble accents, 42 inch flat screen TVs in the birthing rooms, and 10,000 square feet of gardens on the roof. And yet they get a tax break for being a non-profit organization.
A Rocky Mountain News article from two years ago details the salaries and perks for non-profit hospital CEOs in the Denver, Colorado area. Four of them made over $1 million in salary in 2003. I'm sure those numbers have increased over the last five years, but they pale in comparison to the CEO of Northwestern Memorial, whose total accrued compensation in 2006 was over $16 million. The Wall Street Journal article identified ten CEOs of non-profit hospitals who earn more than $3 million/year - I guess our CEOs in Colorado are living on the poor side.
All of this - with tax breaks - while 47 million Americans have no health insurance, and health insurance premiums have climbed by 78% since 2001. We all know that health care is expensive. I'd just like to think that it's because the hospital just got a new MRI machine - not a marble sculpture for the entryway and a BMW for the CEO.

Quiet, small park just far enough off US 89 to mute most of the road noise at night. Owners are very friendly & dog friendly, the sites are level but back-in only. This is an older park but it is the best option for exploring Star Valley WY area since the other RV parks in the area are directly on US 89 and really are nothing more than parking lots. - cfmelville

The name of this place is very misleading. Don't have your hopes up for an extraordinary park because it isn't. It's just a place to stop for one night. Internet is pretty much non-existant. Most lots have huge trees invading on the extremely narrow sites. It appears that the lots were divided into two lots so you will share a lot with another unit. It is NOT big rig friendly just due to the fact that they are putting two units in basically one space. Read the description of the park. There are 300 lots crammed into a small area. I would not stay here again. - travelingpeople

An excellent place to stay. The views of the mountains and valley are great, as are the owners. The sites are nice and wide and sit up on the slight hillside to overlook the view.

Nice place, nice owners! The best Wi-Fi we have had so far on this trip and they use passwords. A bit of road noise during the day but not a problem at night. The shower rooms/laundry building is not heated so when you want to do something in that building you must turn on the heat timer. We stayed here five days in mid May so it was very cool and windy. The Wolf Den restaurant was not open during our stay. You must drive to Alpine (12 miles) or Thayne (8 miles) for any restaurants or groceries. We recommend the Yankee Doodle cafe in Alpine. The shade trees are small: no shade. It rained while we were here and the gravel/dirt roads and sites tend to become gravel and mud. Luckily the mud dries relatively quickly. We would stay at Wolf Den again in the future. - Drgnfli

We found this campground to be clean and well maintained. We used the laundry and everything worked as expected. The Wi-Fi can be inconsistent but we found it worked well. Other park users could experience different results. The place is quiet at night with some traffic noise through the day. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this campground to others. We chose a pull through but the internal road is so large that I could have picked pick a back-in and saved some cash. Overall, we rate this campground among the top ones we have stayed at. - bearhunter007


text: William Cellini The Stain Of Corruption: Candidate Endorsements By Amanda Vinicky • Apr 9, 2014 WBEZ Gov. Pat Quinn's campaign is blasting his Republican opponent, Bruce Rauner for getting endorsed by Springfield insider William Cellini. But Quinn has his own checkered endorsement history. Cellini, a lifelong Republican, went to prison for his role in a campaign contribution shakedown scheme tied to the administration of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The Quinn campaign is criticizing Rauner for not doing enough to denounce Cellini, but when reporters asked him about it in the Capitol, Quinn said: "Well I don't want to get into politics here." Cellini Back On The Political Scene, Backs Rauner By Amanda Vinicky • Apr 9, 2014 Amanda Vinicky Springfield powerbroker William Cellini is back on the political scene, following his release from prison late last year. He was found guilty of participating in an extortion scheme when Rod Blagojevich was governor. Cellini attended a Sangamon County Republican Foundation event Tuesday night, which featured Bruce Rauner, the party's nominee for governor. Cellini says he backed State Senator Kirk Dillard in the Republican primary race. But now he's behind Rauner. "Well I've been a Republican all my life and he's the Republican candidate," Cellini said. Political Fix Theater: Apology Not Accepted By Amanda Vinicky • Dec 9, 2013 Amanda Vinicky The curtains are closing on the Chicago play "I Wish to Apologize to the People of Illinois" -- a timely production, given that today, Dec. 9, marks five years since Rod Blagojevich's arrest. Two trials later, he was convicted on 18 counts of corruption. At Blagojevich's sentencing hearing, the former governor said he was sorry for his mistakes. But Blagojevich was not the one making apologies in this show. He's not even a character -- just someone who gets mentioned now and again. Springfield's William Cellini Out of Prison By Associated Press • Nov 6, 2013 WBEZ Politically connected Illinois businessman William Cellini has been released from federal prison. A spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons says the Republican insider snagged in the corruption scandal involving former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was released from the federal lockup in Terre Haute, Ind., on Oct. 31.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a device for tempering of a glass sheet by contact to produce reinforced edge stresses, the sheet also optionally undergoing bending by such contact. The invention applies particularly to the production of glazings tempered thermally, which are flat or curved and intended, for example, for motor vehicles.
2. Background of the Related Art
Usually, the heat tempering of glazings is performed by blowing cold air on both faces of glass sheets previously heated to a suitable temperature. In some cases, however, it can be more advantageous to perform a so-called "tempering by contact" by placing the glazings in direct surface contact with compression plates cooled, for example, with water, i.e., plates of the compression plate or compression mold type. The direct contact with the compression and cooling plates makes it possible to prevent deformation or warping of the glazing which at times appear when the glazing is held only along its edges and/or on a single side during tempering.
The tempering by contact process also can be advantageous for the production of bent and tempered glazings of very thin glass. The thin glass cools very quickly and when, according to the conventional bending-tempering processes, the glass sheet first is bent before being transferred to the tempering station by blowing of cold air, the cooling of the glass during the transfer can be such that its temperature is then insufficient for a quality heat tempering. The use of compression plates consisting of molds whose shape corresponds to that desired for the glazing makes it possible to eliminate the transfer, since bending and tempering of the glazing is performed in a single operation.
From patent application EP-A 277 074, it is known to reduce the fragility of the edges in the glazings tempered by contact in the usual way, such as that of FR-A 1 580 305, by creating a temperature difference between the edges and the center of the glazing, particularly by blowing a cooling gas on the edges of the glazing. There, a device is described in which the peripheral surfaces of the glazings are cooled by air jets while the operation of tempering by contact continues. Still according to EP-A 277 074, these air jets are produced by tubular ramps placed parallel to the edge of the glass, outside of the cooling and compression plates. These ramps are provided with outlets having slots for the emission of air jets.
This blowing of cold air on the peripheral surfaces allows three configurations which can be considered for the compression and cooling plates and the glazing: (1) the glazing can be larger than the plates, so that its ends project beyond the plates; (2) it can be of the same size as the latter with a peripheral surface which is even with the plates; (3) it can be smaller than the plates so that the peripheral surface of the glazing to be cooled by the air is set back relative to the lateral delimitation surfaces of the cooling and compression plates. In the third case, a groove is formed whose base surface consists of the peripheral surface of the glazing.
Also known from patent application DE-A 1 771 790 is a device for tempering by contact with compression plates, in which the first plate consists of a rigid metal plate cooled with water and the other plate is formed from a housing closed by a heat-resistant fluid tight membrane, which can be fed by pressurized water and whose membrane surface establishes contact with the glazing.
In this case also, the compression plates are larger than the glazings. The cooling of the peripheral surfaces of the glazings are then performed by the fact that the glazings are beveled on the side which is applied against the membrane so that the cooled membrane can be applied to the beveled surface. Such a beveling of the edges of the glazings cannot be achieved, however, in the case of automobile glazings.
For various reasons, this technique often proves more economical since a single set of the cooling and compression plates are suitable for glazings of various sizes but of the same radius of curvature. On the other hand, it is easier to obtain reinforced edge stresses with cooling and compression plates larger than the glass sheet because then the intensity of the blowing on the edges can be fairly weak, while with plates smaller than the glass sheet the blowing must also temper the marginal zones of the glazing which are not covered by the cooling plates. It is advantageous for the tempering by contact to use devices comprising compression plates larger than the glazings to be tempered. The known devices, however, do not make it possible to achieve a satisfactory state of tension of the glazings, either in the immediate vicinity of their edges or over their entire peripheral surface.
The invention has as an object to improve a device of the type described in EP-A 277 074 so that it makes possible a satisfactory tempering of the glazings over their entire surface, to produce a reinforced edge stress.
The device for tempering by contact according to the invention comprises two cooling and compression plates between which are placed parallelepipedic blowing ramps. The ramps comprise slots for the cooling air jets directed toward the peripheral surface of the glazing. Between these blowing slots are air exhaust openings. The slots have a diameter at least equal to 1 mm and at most equal to the thickness of the glazing, and the openings each have a cross sectional area which is at least 3 times that of the slots. The dimensions of the cooling and compression plates as well as the arrangement and/or the width of the ramps is such that the distance between the orifices of the slots and the facing peripheral surface of the glazing which is opposite to them is between 2 and 6 times the diameter of said slots.
According to the invention, the parallelepipedic blowing ramps close the intermediate space between the two compression and cooling plates and provide ducts with dimensions defined for the emission of cooling air jets and exhaust ducts with dimensions also defined for the heated air flowing back from the peripheral surface of the glazing. This arrangement thus offers constant and controlled conditions for the air cooling of the peripheral surface of the glazing. In this way and due to the dimensioning according to the invention, sections of the blowing slots and the exhaust openings, as well as the distance between the exhaust openings and the peripheral surface of the glazing, the conditions which guarantee an optimum state of tempering in the marginal area of the glazing, and in particular in the area of its peripheral surface, may be established.
The blowing slots and the exhaust openings advantageously are placed in alternating sequence. In this case, the section of an exhaust opening preferably is equivalent to approximately four times that of a blowing slot.
In case the slots and the exhaust ducts cannot alternate in an exact manner, it is necessary that the sum of the sections of the exhaust ducts be equivalent to at least three times and preferably four times the sum of the sections of the outlet slots.
The blowing ramps consist, for example, of individual sections, which, if necessary, are assembled while leaving a small gap in a peripheral outlet bar. Preferably, however, the blowing ramps constitute a frame closed all around the glazing which thus is contained totally in a housing defined, by the cooling plates and by the frame that the blowing ramps constitute. The air exhaust openings are the only communications with the outside.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially cut away, of an embodiment of a device for tempering by contact according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a view in vertical section of the device shown in FIG. 1, the cooling and compression plates being in closed position;
FIG. 3 is a view, in larger scale, of a fragment of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a view, also in vertical section, of another embodiment of a device according to the invention.
For simplicity, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 shows a device for the production of glazings tempered flat, i.e, a device in which the contact surfaces of the two cooling and compression plates are planar. However, it is possible to produce cooling and compression plates in the form of molding plates with a curved contact surface, so that the glazings can be bent and tempered simultaneously via the molding plates.
The device comprises a rigid lower cooling and compression plate 1 and an upper cooling and compression plate 2 having a flexible contact surface. Lower cooling and compression plate 1 is formed of a metal plate 11 of a metal with good heat conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. Metal plate 11 is equipped with ducts 12 in which the cooling water passes. The cooling water is admitted by a feed pipe 13 and is evacuated by pipe 14. On the compression surface of the metal plate is provided a layer 15 of an elastically deformable material having a heat transmission resistance which is preferably between 0.1×10-3 and 0.25×10-3 m2 ×K×W-1, i.e., with good heat conductivity properties. This layer 15 has the task of providing an optimal contact with the entire surface of the glazing. It advantageously has a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm and can, for example, have a flake graphite base. Such a material is marketed, for example, under the trademark SIGRAFLEX. On elastic layer 15 is placed a thin metal gauze 16, whose marginal areas 17 are attached to the peripheral faces of metal plate 11. Metal gauze 16 forms a mechanical protection layer for elastic layer 15 and assures the attachment of this elastic layer 15 to metal plate 11. Metal gauze 16 is in this case a gauze with very fine mesh which, in the direction perpendicular to its surface, should have a low heat transmission resistance preferably between 0.25×10-3 and 5×10-3 m2 ×K×W-1, and whose thickness preferably is between 0.1 and 0.3 mm. Metal gauze 16 can, for example, be made of fibers of an iron-chromium-nickel alloy or a chromium-nickel alloy with high heat-resistance. Metal plate 11 is suitably attached to a support 18.
Upper cooling and compression plate 2 consists of a metal housing 21 closed in a fluidtight manner at its lower part by a flexible membrane 22 and filled with a cooling liquid, such as water. The water is introduced under a regulated pressure and at a regulated flow rate by feed pipe 23 into housing 21 and discharged from housing 21 by pipe 24. A pressure regulation device, not shown, maintains the necessary internal pressure in housing 21, i.e., on the order of 5 bars, only when the press is closed, i.e., when flexible membrane 22 is applied against glazing 30. Flexible membrane 22 should offer a low heat transmission resistance whose exact value depends on the thickness of the glazing to be tempered. For a glazing thickness of 3 mm, for example, the heat transmission resistance of the flexible membrane should be less than 1.6×10-3 m2 ×K×W-1. Moreover, the constituent material of the flexible membrane should exhibit a good heat conductivity as well as a good resistance to the heat. A layer structure consisting of a film 25 of 0.1 to 0.2 mm thickness of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is covered on its outer face by a metal gauze 26, has proven satisfactory. Metal gauze 26 is in this case the same thin metal gauze of 0.1 to 0.3 mm thickness which is used to cover elastic layer 15 in lower compression mold 1. Marginal areas 27 of film 25 and metal gauze 26 are attached laterally to metal housing 21. Metal housing 21 is mounted on a support 28. Supports 18 and 28 form part of a press which is otherwise not shown.
Blowing ramps 32 are placed around the glazing, in the intermediate space between the two cooling and compression plates. These ramps 32 thus form a continuous framing around the glazing and are mounted on rigid plate 1, all along the circumference of this plate. The frame is formed from an outlet bar of a suitable metal, for example, of corrosion-resistant steel, having a height H corresponding to the thickness of glazing 30. Width B of ramps 32 is not, in principle, critical; it should be chosen, however, so that distance A between inner surface 33 of the ramp on which the orifices of slots 34 are located, and peripheral surface 35 of glazing 30, is equivalent to two to six times the diameter of slots 34. Slots 34 are connected by pipes 36 to a distribution pipe 37 which is connected by pipes, not shown, to a suitable power blower which provides the air necessary to the cooling of the peripheral surface of the glazing. Slots 34 are spaced, for example, 10 to 25 mm from one another and have a diameter which is at least 1 mm and is less than the thickness of glazing 30.
Between any two adjacent slots 34, there is an opening 40 of larger section than the slots which extends parallel to the slots and which is used as the exhaust opening for the blowing air. The cross section of each exhaust opening is equivalent to about four times that of a slot 34; since the thickness of ramp 32 is the same as that of glazing 30, the exhaust openings are, if necessary, in the form of elongated slots.
In the case of the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the dimensions of housing 21 of the upper plate are selected such that the cross section of the hollow inside of housing 21 filled with cooling water is larger than the surface of glazing 30, so that flexible membrane 22 extends beyond peripheral surface 35 of the glazing. In the region of distance A between the peripheral surface of glazing 30 and inner surface 33 of ramps 32, flexible membrane 22 is not supported. In this embodiment, it therefore is desirable that distance A has a value which is close to the lower limit of the range according to the invention. Otherwise, the flexible membrane is more exposed to the risk of being subjected to too high a mechanical load under the pressure of the cooling liquid.
To prevent this type of mechanical stress of the flexible membrane, an embodiment as is shown in FIG. 4 can be selected. In this case, the dimensions of the housing forming the upper compression plate are selected so that the inside diameter of the housing is less than the corresponding dimensions of the surface of glazing 30, so that side walls 29 rest on glazing 30. In the area fed with pressurized water, flexible membrane 22 is supported on its entire surface by glazing 30. In this embodiment also, the cooling effect produced by the cooling by contact and by the simultaneous air cooling is sufficient, in the immediate marginal area of the glazing, to produce a satisfactory tempering in the area of peripheral surface 35 and in the adjacent marginal areas.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variation of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

I'm not sure I'd take Tramadol if you have epilepsy. I'm not sure whether it's because of it's opiod effects or it's SNRI effects, but it lowers the threshold for seizures in people that have them. From a personal perspective, I wouldn't take it at all. I became very dependent on them and they actually caused me to have a few seizures.

Why: Nothing says summertime quite like a jaunt to the Vancouver Farmers Market. From fresh-off-of-the-vine tomatoes to just-picked flowers, sparkly jewelry to live music, the place is a feast for the senses. It's also a roving feast, with food booths offering fare that ranges from corn dogs to tamales and everything in between. I logged a weekend sampling some of that food.
Atmosphere: The Vancouver Farmers Market, located adjacent to Esther Short Park at Sixth and Esther streets, offers an opportunity to shop, browse, enjoy the outdoors, and maybe grab a bite to eat. Vendors hoist canopies and cobble together their shops for the day. Many of the market's food vendors prepare their offerings in a commercial kitchen ahead of time; others prepare it on site. Either way, the wafting scents and sizzling grills tantalize the taste buds.
For me, music and food pair like red wine and chocolate. So settling in under a canopy to listen to live music was a must. Other marketgoers share the tables, creating a family-style dining experience with conversation to go along with the music and eclectic flavors. But be warned: Come armed with a few extra napkins to tidy up a table before eating. Bonus points for self-styled tidying up after a meal.
Another dining option: Relax under one of the park's towering trees, either on a bench or on the grass. The park usually offers a quiet escape from the market, with time for people watching and listening to birds chatter in treetops.
What I tried: I hit four food vendors over a weekend: Mini Doughnut Shoppe, Foody Blues BBQ, Tequila Mexican Grill and Omi's German Deli.
Mini Doughnut Shoppe, only at the market on Sundays, serves tiny donuts, fried in a tabletop machine that looks like a mini conveyor belt. Once the cake donuts are cooked, they're either drenched in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar, or topped with an icing mix.
I tried six of these donuts: Two cinnamon and sugar, a powdered, a maple and coconut, plain maple and chocolate with a towering cherry on top.
About the size of the mini donuts you might find in the grocery store, these cake donuts were still warm, which, in the world of donuts, is about as close to nirvana and you can get. The texture was light, and who can resist a cherry on top of chocolate? For me, it was a hit. Half a dozen donuts went down way too easily.
When I asked Judy McManman, who owns the stand with Richard Heredia, about calorie count, she laughed. "I'd rather not comment on that," McManman said.
But I must not be the only one who skips a calorie count every so often. McManman said they sell between 1,100 and 1,700 of those donuts each Sunday.
Foody Blues BBQ is a regular at many Vancouver events. At the suggestion of the server, I ordered up a chicken bowl and drizzled it with barbecue sauce.
The chicken was cut into strips and heaped over a bed of cabbage in a paper bowl. The strip cuts made it easy to eat with a fork. The chicken was tender inside and lightly charred on the outside, with just a tinge of spice. Good, solid barbecue. The only thing that could make it better: Some creamy potato salad to accompany the dish.
Hector Hinojosa of Vancouver, who owns Foody Blues, said his food is prepared in a commercial kitchen ahead of time and kept warm on site. The chicken is rubbed with spices and cooked on a wood-pellet grill for an hour to give it a smoke flavor. Hinojosa estimates he sells 150 to 200 meals a day at the market.
At Tequila Mexican Grill, a young girl takes orders while her parents cook. Menu samples are on display, and I opted for the fish tacos.
The tilapia was grilled while I watched. Just before it was served, the corn tortillas hit the grill, too. Then it was plated and served with a helping of salsa. I requested guacamole from the salsa bar and the little girl heaped it on.
The tacos were spicy, brimming with chunks of freshly grilled tilapia and shredded cabbage. But even with the zip of the spices, the tacos felt light and refreshing, perfect for summer.
Luz Guitron of Portland owns and runs the little booth with her husband and children. Guitron, who was raised in Mexico, said she grew up with the fish taco recipe, which includes garlic, butter, orange juice, pineapple juice and spices. "My mom used to make that for me when we were in Mexico," Guitron said.
It was a dish I'll certainly try again.
I'm a Reuben sandwich fan, so when I stopped at Omi German Deli, I had to try one, along with a side of hot German potato salad.
This sandwich required on-site cooking, so I waited a few minutes while the two-person crew cooked the pastrami and then melted the Swiss cheese and sandwich together.
The Reuben was piping hot, a messy blend of marbled rye bread, Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut, pastrami and Swiss. (Grab extra napkins for this order). It hit the sweet spot — warm and messy with just the right amount of sour zing in the sauerkraut. The hot German potato salad was warm and tangy, a surprise to taste buds accustomed to creamy potato salads. But after a few bites, the tang grew on me.
Karin Fry of Vancouver owns Omi's German Deli. The zip from the sauerkraut comes from her addition to it, she said. She starts with canned sauerkraut and then cooks it with bay leaves, cream sherry, peppercorn and cooked bacon. Bacon finds its way into the German potato salad, too.
"German food is all about bacon," Fry said.
Highlights beyond what I tried: With so much to choose from, it's hard to narrow down next-time selections. But I've heard good things about Zabor Mexican Grill's tamales, which are $4 each for the chicken or pork. Also, Ululani's Hawaiian Shaved Ice drew long lines and looks like it would be fun to try, especially on a hot day.
Other observations: You'll find lots of deep-fried, fair-style food at the market, in addition to other samplings. Many vendors cook their food ahead of time in a commercial kitchen to comply with food-handling laws, so while there is some on-site cooking, much of the food at the market is held in a warmer until it's served.
Cost: A half-dozen donuts will run between $3 and $3.50. Most meals fall into the $6 to $12 range.
Hours: The Saturday market runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Sunday market is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Mini Doughnut Shoppe is at the market only on Sundays. Other vendors in this review are there both Saturday and Sunday.
Where: Adjacent to Esther Short Park at Sixth and Esther streets in downtown Vancouver.
Information: 360-737-8298 or vancouverfarmersmarket.com.
Health score: Mini Doughnut Shoppe received a five on its most recent health inspection, on July 13, 2010. Foody Blues BBQ received a score of zero on its health inspection on Aug. 30, 2010. Tequila Mexican Grill received a score of 10 on its health inspection on April 30, 2011. And Omi's German Deli received a zero on its health inspection on June 9, 2011. Zero is a perfect score. Clark County Public Health closes restaurants that score 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

Amazon.com Review
Oliver Morton has a sense of place and a hunger for Mars, and a thrilling manner of communicating both. His account of our nearest neighbor's history, geology, and human potential is exhaustive. Morton touches on just about everything, from soil composition to survival techniques; from Martians to maps (maps, above all: they are his abiding subject, metaphor, and organizing principle). His artistry is to hide his daunting range of interests under a passionate and gripping human narrative: this book is about what Mars has meant, means, and may one day mean for us. And he has a wide-ranging definition of who "we" are. Like a good military historian, Morton knows to pay attention to the foot soldiers of science, as well as to the achievements of their celebrated masters. He understands how different the sciences are from each other, and how rivalries between them arise. Further, Morton understands where these people and their institutions sit in the general culture. He understands the crossover between science and science fiction, between space advocates and space fans.
All of which makes Morton's book something more than just "the story of Mars." It is, in addition, an astute study of how we go about exploring our world. --Simon Ings

I have a drill down table and I can sort by the Group columns, but sort by the Value column (Quantity) doesn't work.
I'm right-clicking the header, selecting textbox properties, selecting interactive sorting, selecting Detail Rows, Selecting Sort By Quantity. I've also tried every permutation on the available options. Is there a trick to getting this to work?
Edit: I found this nice chart saying what to do in different sorting scenarios: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207011(v=sql.100).aspx If I'm the 3rd case (not sure) of the chart, then was is a "child group header row"?

That tandem is an example of a bike that could go both ways. It is a Bob Jackson from 1980 that was almost unridden when I got it a few years ago. I bought it because it was so pretty, without giving any thought to how it might get used. My practical wife had a different idea about its purpose, so now we take it out every morning before I go to work. It has some of the nicest lugwork of any bike I own, and a solid original finish. It is beautiful enough to keep for looks alone, but it is also a fine rider that fits us both and gives us a lot of pleasure. Win-win.

i would rather ride a platypus than hang it on the wall.
taxidermy doesn't interest me. i'm no norman bates.
We have two boys off to college very soon.
There will be no such thing as a wall hanger by next year at this time.
Some good input. Penguins and all. About the best answer as to why, 20Grit's sez a lot. Functionality is lost if it's not used. Though I own quite a few utilitarian objects that I don't use. I would think a valuable vintage guitar might be harder to damage than a valuable bike, unless you happen to drop it on the concrete floor. Or smash your Marshall stacks with it.
I can identify Aixaix's contention that they're "...beautiful and evocative, which is good enough for me."
I have plenty of nice bikes so I don't really need to ride all of them as a rule. I really should ride the antiques though.

le prix s'oublie,la qualité reste ,(michel audiard)
You can hang a bike upon a wall and call it art
But you can't ride the art and call it a bike
I prefer to ride my bikes. What others do, whether riding, hanging them up, collecting, restoring, flipping etc.hopefully, makes them happy. I like the sense of adventure that comes from even a small/short ride. You don't know what you will see, who you will meet or what might happen. Great stories and experiences can spring from the smallest rides. Nothing is guaranteed. The one thing that is guaranteed is that there is very little chance of adventure, while hanging on a wall or in a garage.
I have had a fair number of bikes pass through my hands and what I learned about myself is that I enjoy riding more than wrenching, riding more than collecting, riding more than flipping and riding more than having lots of stuff around that I don't use. It just becomes "stuff" to manage at that point. I manage "stuff" at work and that is more than enough. I need less work in my life and more riding.
Ride your collection, so others can see and appreciate rolling art under your derriere!

A bike is a bike.
Art is art.
A bike will never be art. But then there are bikes that should be viewed by everyone.
From a periodical covering other two wheeled machines "Ride em - don't Hide em!"
None of my bikes are rare or could be considered show pieces, that being said, 3 of our 5 (soon to be 4 on the wall) bikes hang on the wall when not in use. Its a great storage option that opens up a lot of floor space.
Its the "Bike Snob" attitude that finds a problem with it, and I despise the "Bike Snob" attitude. Beyond the pleasure of riding a bike for enjoyment/fitness its just a matter of "Men playing with Bicycles" and I enjoy playing with and looking at bicycles.

The way I see it, functionality is not lost by hanging a bike on a wall. It can still be brought down and ridden. But that's not the point. The point is that the owner may enjoy seeing his wall art as a piece of functional art, never riding it but knowing that he can ride it whenever he wants.
Why would anyone care, anyway? Bikes are not sacred. They're just objects, and humans like objects because they can evoke feelings (allusion to aixaix's comment on bikes being evocative as objects). Let people do what they want with their objects.

Now we're getting some good depth here. I have to admit I'm somewhat ambivalent about this. Don't care much one way or the other but what struck me a while ago was why some were so adamant about it. I couldn't quite understand it. Still can't.
I do like Southpaw's idea of an intrinsically beautiful object that can be pulled down off its display place and used.
I'm vowing to myself that this winter I'm finally going to make the rosewood wall bracket I've been thinking about.
That will get one bike up off the floor and at eye level where I can enjoy its beauty, but still be within easy reach.
The only open space on a wall in the whole house big enough for a bike. A rarity in this place.
my old '93 porsche 968 was art. it was also a car.
all my keeper bikes are art. merely looking them conveys feeling.
they're also transportation machines.
if i had hooks on the wall, i would hang them in between rides.
and ... what's a bike snob? same as a music snob? (someone who looks down his nose at pop radio crap.) if so, i assume most of us on c&v are bike snobs. there must be a better term for it: someone with knowledge, experience and opinion.

There's no question about the importance of drums and percussion in music. If you're playing energetic songs for a live audience, it's the rhythm that'll get them moving and the drums have to create that rhythm. Even in more subtle, softer genres and styles, the right application of percussion sounds and effects goes an incredibly long way to setting mood and atmosphere. This isn't just the oldest instrument family on the stage: it just might be the most crucial one as well. Some of our top brands in this category are: Zildjian, Paiste, Meinl Percussion, Pearl, Remo,
For the lion's share of rock and pop music, you're looking at a classic drum set: tom-toms, snares, bass and cymbals. You'll find a huge selection of these staple instruments here, in as many varieties as you could name. If you're just starting out with the drums, take a look at shell packs and drum sets to get up and running in a hurry. On the other hand, if you're a veteran drummer, chances are that you'd prefer to pick and choose your instruments individually. For the adventurous among us, there are electronic drum sets, which open up the unlimited potential of customized samples. Whatever you want to do to distinguish yourself from other drummers, this is where you can find the instruments to get there.
One of the best things about percussion is that there are no real boundaries. With talent and a knack for making rhythms, you can integrate virtually anything into a melody. It's that sort of ingenuity that gave rise to a lot of the handheld and world percussion available here. Take the cajon for example; this drum is descended from simple shipping crates but it's now become a precision instrument with tons of potential and character.
It's a fact that standard drum sets and cymbals are only scratching the surface of what percussion can do. In this section, it's easy to see just how deep your potential is as a drummer with plenty of the usual suspects as well as a ton of more exotic instruments and accessories. If you're ready to bring the rhythms and beats to the stage, you've got thousands of ways right here to make it happen

Actor Emraan Hashmi's last two experimental films "Ek Thi Daayan" and "Ghanchakkar" didn't go down well with his fans. However, he does not regret doing them.
He feels as an actor it is necessary to move away from one's comfort level.
"For any actor, doing experiments is important. I don't regret the films I have done. If I had it my way, I would still do 'Ek Thi Daayan' and would do a "Ghanchakkar," the 35-year-old said here Friday during the trailer launch of his upcoming film "Raja Natwarlal", where he will be seen as a conman.
"It is very important to divert from what you are doing just to stretch your creative skills and when you come back to your traditional path - the path you are known for - then you bring a new colour to your performance and characters," he added.
Emraan, who is known for romantic and masala entertainers, chose to go experimental with films like "Ek Thi Daayan" and "Ghanchakkar", that neither struck the right chords among the audiences nor set the cash registers ringing at the box office.
However, he says he is back to the genre he is known for with "Raja Natwarlal" and dedicates the film to his fans.
"I think my fans are also bit angry with me as in the last year I have done quite a lot of experiments on screen. So this film is, kind of, dedicated to them," said the actor who has earlier featured in films like "Jannat", "Jannat 2" and "The Dirty Picture".
"It is (like coming back to the basics. It is the Emraan Hashmi they missed over the past year," he added.
Produced by UTV Motion Pictures and directed by Kunal Deshmukh, "Raja Natwarlal" also features Paresh Rawal, Kay Kay Menon and Pakistani model-actress Humaima Malick. It will hit the theatres Aug 29.

"The cards were beautiful! The paper looked good and the colors popped! People thought they were perfect for a Hawaiian wedding. Can't wait to do the invitations/thank yous in the same design."
"Loved being able to customize this card however I wanted. the paper quality is wonderful! the order came much quicker than anticipated. These are very nice. planning to place another order soon!"
"I had my eye on this card for a long time and was so excited when I received the final product. The cards arrived quickly and looked fabulous! The quality of the paper, the printing - everything was great. The customer service was great too. When I designed our card, I had two questions for the designer. One was about the text (I wanted to move a line further down) and another was an etiquette question. The designer not only fixed the line of text, but responded to my other question within a day! Needless to say, I highly recommend this design."
"I ordered these cards in the light pink color, with the shimmery paper. I was so pleased with the quality of these when they arrived, they looked so beautiful! The material I ordered them in was thicker and not flimsy at all, it certainly didn't feel or look cheap! The text and customization was so easy, and the editors got a proof out to me really quick!"
"I ordered this and am so happy with how they turned out I changed the date from words to numbers and the proof was sent within a day or two Both my fiancé and I are amazed with the quality and so are our family and friends Can't wait to order my invitation suite Delivery international is the fastest I have ever had a great service"
