Mathew aka Matei Cioara ACF ALL CITY FLOORING
Came to our home, we are an elderly couple on a fixed income. We wanted two small bathrooms tiled he said he can do it, and offered to also do the PLUMBING and installation of 2 vanities. Originally he said 5000.00 for both BATHROOMS 4X5
And we PAY FOR ALL MATERIALS.
Midway thru job he says "that will be 1500 more"! and started SCREAMING at my wife when she said no way that's not fair you quoted us a price and you cant change it half way thru the job. We have it on film. HIM SCREAMING!
Well we have NO HOT WATER in one bathroom and NO COLD WATER in the other. [continued below]....
You either scald yourself or you freeze.
He could NOT INSTALL the vanities I wanted so I wasted 1200 dollars on top of his 6500 bill, PLUS he could not install the faucets or pee traps I choose, another 697.00 wasted, then running me daily for one MONTH to get him 'things' he forgot at home depot around the block from our house, only to be told each time, oops that wont fit either! and the items cant be returned because he put glue all over them 'trying' to install them so about 300 in drains! wasted money, I wish I could post pictures!
We had to SETTLE for an 88.00 sink from home depot because its the ONLY KIND HE KNOWS HOW TO INSTALL!
Are you kidding me!?....why not just BE HONEST and say I don't know what I'm doing here?!
The tiles are hideously placed and misaligned, NOT NEARLY ENOUGH thin set ( which WE paid for so its not like he was trying to save money ) and the tiles have a horrible echo sound its awful! sounds like a tap dancing studio we you walk on them.
The tiles around the shower are all over the place,sticking out here and there.You can NOT wipe down the shower without hurting your hands.
We tried gently to explain to him perhaps he was in over his head, I mean we are talking about two bathrooms 4x 5 took 1 MONTH to tile? and FIGURE OUT "HOW NOT TO" install sinks in at our expense.
If only we could post photos, they speak volumes I cant put into words here ALL the things that are having to be REDONE as a type this, I am shocked at how I trusted a elderly man like myself, to HELP him make good money and he robbed us!
This man is a COMPLETE RIPP OFF! DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING!
HE 'IS' HOWEVER A GREAT CON~MAN.......DONT be fooled.
Feel free to contact me for photos. Im going to try to figure out how I can post them here...Im not as young as I use to be:}

Most of the investment banks approached by AFR Dealbook to contribute data on the female representation in their ranks provided only a smattering of information – some refused to participate.
None of those participating had an equal intake of men and women at graduate level . Goldman Sachs & Partners most recently recruited four women out of 15 graduates, and Citi has six women out of 20 graduates.
Goldmans has 30.9 per cent women at executive level and a retention rate of 98 per cent for women returning from maternity leave, while Citi records a retention rate of nearly 70 per cent.
Both these banks, along with Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, have similar suites of policies in place to support women, including paid parenting leave, women's networks, recruitment targets, and flexible work options.
- Female/male graduate intake for 2011: 4:11
- Women at executive level: 30.9 per cent
- Post-maternity leave retention rate: 98 per cent
- Policies: recruitment goals of 50/50 at graduate level, mentoring, diversity education requirement for all team members, diversity scorecards for managing directors, diversity council, women's network, six weeks' paid parenting leave.
- 33 per cent of workforce is female
- Policies: flexible work, childcare referral service, women's committee, mentoring
- Female/male graduate intake: 6:14
- Post-maternity leave retention rate: 69.6 per cent
- Policies: 16 weeks' paid parenting leave, diversity committee, flexible work, diversity index.

On my old Grand Prix, I was minding my own business in the drive-thru when all of the sudden my A/C quit, an alert sounded, and a message read something along the lines of A/C SHUT-OFF TO PROTECT ENGINE. I looked down, and the temperature was in the red.
I pulled into a spot and went in to eat. When I came back after taking my time, it was fine while driving, but would start to overheat at stoplights. The mechanic said that everything checked out - no coolant leak, fan was cycling properly, coolant was marginal but not bad enough to cause it to overheat, etc. He suspected a thermostat, and I went ahead and told him to do a flush-and-fill, too.
I was confident that the problem was fixed until two days later, when after two days of heavy trouble-free driving, the heater core finally blew and dumped fluid in the passenger area.
Not saying that's what yours is, but if everything else is checking out, it is a possibility.

Two Male Bassets fighting
I adopted a two basset hounds (8 yr old male, Sonny/ and a 4 yr old female, Sadie) a few months ago from a military buddy of mine that had to go over seas. Well I already had a 3 year old male basset hound (Tweeter) for them to join. At the time all my dogs are intact. Well a month ago one of the basset hounds I adopted went into heat. Well thinking it would be interesting to breed at least one litter before I get them all neutered and spayed. Couple weeks ago after she was in heat I started letting them all run back together again so I wouldnt have to keep them seperated during the whole breeding process. Well to my surprise Tweeter wants to fight the 8 yr old male (Sonny). Well I finally pulled the last straw a week ago when they got into a horrible fight. It was like something clicked in his mind to start fighting. Went and got Tweeter fixed last weekend. But he still wants to fight Sonny. I already have another appointment made for Sonny to get fixed. Will doing this eliminate all the aggressiveness

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the boys fighting. May be due to the female being in heat.
Be prepared for more advice, I'm sure you'll be getting quite a bit. Mostly due to the fact you thought it might be "interesting" to have a litter? If she is indeed pregnant, you must start doing your research NOW, since you need to be prepared especially if you've never dealt with this before. Things can happen quickly and you need to be prepared. It is not a trivial process
Good Luck

My 2 males who were neutered before ever coming together, used to fight....more resource guarding over me (no females around)....after they were used to each other a little more (and some sprays of water with a sports bottle in the face) they stopped the fighting....not completely but rarely.....hope this helps.

Well, a female in season will definitely get the intact boys fighting - especially if one has been allowed to breed her. Big mistake if you wanted them to get along, I have to keep my two boys separate.
Neutering MAY help - male/male aggression is one of the few behaviors that is improved by the procedure, however it takes a few months for the hormones to fade.
If you did allow your bitch to breed, then as Midge N Hazely said you had better start researching NOW about prenatal care, whelping, rearing a litter etc. You also want to make sure you have money set aside for emergencies - for example an emergency c-section (relatively common for Bassets) will set you back $1500-2000. Plus the cost of deworming, first shots, extra food etc. Since Bassets have a tendency to lie on the pups they need to be supervised 24/7 for the first 2-3 weeks after whelping, which for most people means time off work (I'm currently on "maternity leave" to watch my litter).
You will need a box/pen to contain them so they don't run amok through your house. You will also need to keep the boys completely away from mom and litter - they could easily harm the pups, the dam will almost certainly attack them to drive them away, at the very least she will be upset and unsettled.
It also takes a lot of time to feed and clean them, plus they need to be properly trained and socialized the they are going to be well-adjusted pets instead of ending up in the pound because of behavior issues. You also need to be prepared to care for growing pups that don't sell right away. Are you prepared to be responsible for the lives you are creating and be willing to take them back if for some reason the owner can't keep them? At any time (I've taken dogs back at 10 years of age)?
Or you could save yourself a lot of effort and money and spay her (and the other boy) right now.

Beauty vs Beast: Ice & Ivy
Jason from MNPP here on the occasion of Joel Schumacher's 77th birthday wondering if I'm the only one who feels like his 1997 superhero flop Batman & Robin ought to be a camp classic as revered as Showgirls... or at least Valley of the Dolls. I think the fact that the movie is actively trying to be camp, but failing, throws people off... but it only makes me love it more. It's so... queer. In all the senses. Maybe it's just that Zack Snyder's endless reign of self-seriousness has made this goofy trainwreck seem more endearing, but I manage to quote this movie far more than might be sane, and if it's ever on TV I get sucked into its dopey dreadfulness every time. The same will never be true of Batman v Superman, I'm afraid. (Unless it's Holly Hunter's scenes we're talking about, of course.)
PREVIOUSLY True Story: I was at a wedding this past weekend and they gave out Jordan Almonds! Anyway last week we forced you to take sides in the Bridesmaids battle of the Century, and I am so so proud of y'all that you went with Kristen Wiig's Annie (who'd never let a Jordan Almond get her down) to the tune of 54% -- that's meant as no knock on the brilliantly funny Rose Byrne but, well, I'll let Suzanne explain:
"I know people love Rose Byrne, but Annie is such a great character. It felt like a revolutionary political act in 2011 to make a film that focused on a female protagonist who was depressed because her business failed and she was broke."

New Year's Weight Loss Tips Dec 30th radio interview 920 AMThursday, December 30th, 2010
8:15 am CST - Dr Uche just finished a LIVE radio interview on 920 AM CKNX in Canada
Reasons are fine and dandy, but the experts have already hit Canadians over the head with every possible reason to eat healthy and be active
1. Live longer – 3 traits of long livers: education, independence, and exercise
2. Smarter: 50% less chance of Alzheimer's – second most feared diagnosis after cancer
3. Sexier – more active – toned and lean and more attractive like the TV actors and models we all stare at 20-35 hours a week
4. Healthier – less chance of heart disease – the #1 killer in North America (2000 per day)
But Uche, I don't have the time….
Kary has online coaching clients that she helps everyday that have issues with discipline. Is it really discipline or is it just that they have crappy systems in place to be healthy So here is a 4 part action plan for SUCCESS in 2011:
- Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning – put it beside your bed. After oxygen, it is the #1 nutrient we need and most of us are chronically dehydrated (bad breathe, constipation, HBP, wrinkles)
- Eat a big breakfast. University of Texas study showed that eating at least 400 calorie meal takes an edge off your hunger not just in the morning, but all day! And it's a good vicious cycle. Eat less at nite and you will wake up hungry the next day.
- Forget the 3 x a week model trainers tell you. You have to get active everyday or you are edging yourself towards an early demise. ANCIENT BODIES with ancient DNA and cellular memory whispering in our ear move or die. Recent study reported that 78% of people would exercise if it was more convenient ie door gym, stationary bike, yoga mat, stability ball, DB's, exercise DVD's.
- Cut back on TV – remove some of your 500 channels as channel surfing leads to increased TV watching. You will always find something half decent to watch.
A recent Dutch study showed daily active lives of 19th C settlers was 1.6x higher than today. Equivalent of 3-8 miles.
NEW YEARS – most people are celebrating with sweet treats and booze. The onslaught of sugar overloads most people's inactive bodies and throws their physiology into a tailspin.
- if there's a dog, offer to walk it
- sit or stand more than 6ft away from the buffet table – FOODLAB at Cornell U
- eat a big breakfast.
- Drink a glass of water first thing in the AM
- Turn on the TV to watch it only if you have something to specifically to look at
- Focus on connecting with your family and friends vs the food. GLIB, but the increase in "tend and befriend" hormone of oxytocin. KEY? Feel Good – EAT LESS!

Agree with Nicole
SUBMITTED: Sunday, July 14, 2013POSTED: Sunday, July 14, 2013
Nicole is right. I was alsolutely stupid to get suckered in for a six month membership for $49. It did offer a week or two free trial before the charge but the free trial did not work until I agreed to the $77 charge.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Comment
Who does that?
SUBMITTED: Saturday, July 13, 2013POSTED: Saturday, July 13, 2013
I have been an off-and-on subscriber of ancestry.com since 2007, cancelling when I hit a roadblock in the research or not having the time to use the site...and then renewing later on. With zero problems. The site offers a free-trial to see if you even like the service first so why shoot right for -buying- a 6 month subscription anyways? I recently resubscribed to address some things to someone that had contacted me on there, and then cancelled before the free trial was up. No issues.
I don't see any elaboration on the actual issue with the subscription here though. Could you just not log in right away or was the subscription to the site not what you thought it would be? I think you should have just trialed this first before having bought anything.
I've never even been subscribed to the site for a complete 6-month stint and I've done a few different trees. Subscribing to the service does not mean that a worker at ancestry.com does the research for you. Some trees have been easy enough to do, and others have been a crapshoot trying to get started. Do I fault the company? Nope.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Oscar-nominee Dame Judi Dench is to star in a landmark five-part period drama series for BBC1 based on novels by Elizabeth Gaskell.
The Cranford Chronicles, which is set in 1842, is billed as a "uniquely rich and comic drama" about ordinary people living during the course of one momentous year in the small rural town of Cranford in Cheshire.
Dame Judi will play Matty Jenkyns, whose spirit was crushed when she was forced to give up the man she loved as a young woman, and has since spent her life in the shadow of her elder sister.
The drama was woven out of five Gaskell novels by Sue Birtwistle - whose credits include Pride and Prejudice - and Susie Conklin. It was scripted by Heidi Thomas, who wrote the current BBC1 period drama Lilies.
The BBC fiction controller, Jane Tranter, said: "To have Dame Judi Dench, Sue Birtwistle and Heidi Thomas on one drama serial is an honour for BBC drama.
"Cranford Chronicles is a beautifully big and ambitious period drama."
Ms Tranter added: "The logistics of mounting such a production have inevitably taken a while to pull together, but the best things are well worth waiting for, and we are all very excited at the prospect of such a piece, and of welcoming Dame Judi Dench back to the BBC."

Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence
How to Prescribe Natalizumab: Tysabri®
James Bowen, MD
Medical Director, Multiple Sclerosis Center
Swedish Neuroscience Institute
Seattle, WA
- Slows the course of multiple sclerosis when used regularly over long periods of time.
- Does not improve existing symptoms.
- Is not used to treat acute MS attacks.
Generic name: natalizumab
How supplied: Tysabri® comes in single-use vials that need dilution prior to infusion. These must be stored under refrigeration at 2-8° C. Once diluted, the medication should be used within 8 hours. The medication must be prescribed through the Tysabri Outreach: Unified Commitment to Health (TOUCH™) program.
Initial dose: Titration of the initial dose is not necessary.
Maintenance dose: 300mg in 100cc normal saline intravenously once every 4 weeks. The medication is infused over one hour. Patients should be observed for an additional hour after infusion before discharge home.
Laboratory testing: Not required.
Side effects:
- Infections: There is a slight increase in infections (2.1% in those treated with Tysabri® versus 1.3% in those on placebo).
- Urticaria was seen in 2% of patients. If urticaria develops, the infusion should be immediately stopped, and the patient should be treated with diphenhydramine 10-25mg intravenously, subcutaneously, or orally. Tysabri® should not be used again in those who experience urticaria.
- Flushing, in contrast to urticaria, does not need to be treated and is not a contraindication to continued use of Tysabri®
- Anaphylaxis was seen in 0.8% of patients receiving Tysabri®. This is manifested by laryngeal edema with shortness of breath or wheezing. If these symptoms develop, the infusion should be immediately stopped, and the patients should be treated with epinephrine 1:1000, 0.3 – 0.5 cc, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Epinephrine should not be given intravenously in this situation. Patients with anaphylaxis should be admitted to the hospital for overnight observation.
- Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a viral infection that may be seen in those treated with Tysabri®. The current estimate is that 1/1000 people treated with Tysabri® will get PML. The most effective way to screen people for PML is to take careful note of neurological symptoms. The TOUCH program is designed to monitor patients for changes in their symptoms. If PML occurs, the diagnosis must be confirmed by MRI and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Treatment consists of discontinuing the Tysabri® and removing the medication with plasma exchange.
- On August 15, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced an additional change to the natalizumab (Tysabri) prescribing information. The updated label recommends that patients who have tested negative to the anti-JCV antibody test should be retested every six months. The repeat testing will help to identify anyone who has been exposed to the John Cunningham virus (JCV) since the previous testing. This, in turn, will help patients and their doctors make the best possible decisions about continuing treatment with natalizumab.

Martha's Newly Fashionable Stock
By Eric Wahlgren
It was time to break out the buttermilk peppercorn dip at Martha Stewart's New York headquarters on Mar. 20. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO ) had just gotten the word: A bankruptcy judge would allow struggling Kmart to continue its merchandizing relationship with Stewart's media and homeware products juggernaut.
The judge's blessing clears the way for Martha Stewart Living to receive the $12.3 million it's owed for the Martha Stewart Everyday linens and housewares Kmart peddles. More important, it preserves Martha Stewart Living's sweet deal with the struggling discount retailer, which includes contractual guarantees of double-digit increases in annual revenues for each year of the pact, which runs until Jan. 31, 2008.
For fiscal year 2001 ended Dec. 31, merchandising (of which sales to Kmart represent some 80%) accounted for about 12% of Martha Stewart Living's total revenues of $295.6 million. But the Kmart business was very important to the company's books: It generated about 20% to 25% of Martha Stewart Living's total cash flow, according to Kathleen Heaney, an analyst at Brean Murray Research in New York.
With the Kmart situation resolved -- at least in the short-term -- investor interest in the company founded by Chairman and Chief Executive Martha Stewart is bound to pick up. Since her top-selling Entertaining hit the bookshelves in 1982, the New Jersey-bred former stockbroker and model has parlayed her talents into a fast-growing merchandising empire and positioned herself as America's premier guru of good taste and domestic style (see BW, 3/25/02, "Q&A: Martha Stewart Thriving" and Video Views for an extended version).
The stock, which closed at $18.94 on Mar. 22, has come back strong, jumping 50% since its 52-week closing low of $12.61 on Sept. 26. That's still way off the $40 level the shares hit shortly after the company went public at $18 in October, 1999. Many analysts believe it has more room for growth in 2002. Kevin Gruneich, publishing/information analyst for Bear Stearns, thinks shares could rise 15% to 20% in the next 12 months. He rates the stock a buy.
Why? Martha Stewart Living's diversification across four business segments helped it post increases in both revenues and profits in 2001 even as many other companies, particularly pure media players, saw declines. Revenues rose 3.5%, and net income grew 3%, to $21.9 million from $21.3 million. That's partly because a 46.1% boost in merchandising revenues and a tiny uptick in revenues from publishing -- including the flagship Martha Stewart Living magazine -- offset decreases in the television and Internet/direct commerce units. The latter includes the high-end Martha By Mail catalog and marthastewart.com.
"I think this is a company that is much more diversified than people would think," says Gruneich. "They have been able to take ideas and merge them across different media and into merchandising. It is still a relatively young company that is low in its maturation phase."
Laura Richardson, better living analyst at Adams, Harkness & Hill in Boston, says she believes Martha Stewart Living could sustain 25% annual earnings growth once the economy improves. "If I were looking out five years, I would recommend the stock," Richardson says. "I think in five years there will be more Martha Stewart products in more places driving earnings growth." A magazine entitled Martha Stewart Martha, for instance, will be published six times this year in trend-crazed Japan.
One concern is the company's dependence on advertising, which accounts for 61.5% of revenues. When it posted a 3.3% drop in fourth-quarter profits on Feb. 20, Martha Stewart Living warned that its earnings for the full year would range between 50 cents and 55 cents a share, which was at the low end of analysts' estimates.
Gruneich's bullishness comes with one caveat: It presumes the domestic advertising climate will improve and boost the publishing unit, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the company's annual revenues. While ad pages were down 21% at Martha Stewart Living in the fourth quarter, they were flat for the February, March, and April, 2002, issues. James Follo, Martha Stewart Living's chief financial officer, points out the magazine is outperforming the overall industry. "We expect this trend to continue," he says.
Changes at Martha Stewart Living's money-losing Internet and direct-mail operation could help reduce the unit's drag on performance in 2002, analysts say. Last year, its $48.8 million in revenues represented about 16.5% of the total business. On Mar. 15, the company said it would cut 40 jobs at the unit, or about 6% of Martha Stewart Living's total workforce.
Also, the company in January recruited Shelley Nandkeolyar, a top executive from the e-commerce division of tony home-products retailer Williams-Sonoma, to be president of the online/direct-mail operation. Heaney thinks redesigns of the catalog and Web site could also boost sales.
She still expects the Net unit to lose $16 million to $18 million before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (or EBITDA, which is a common measure of cash flow for media companies) this year. But that's better than the $24.8 million it bled in 2001. Says Heaney: "They are committed to having the business break even by 2004."
Martha Stewart Living faces some other challenges. Richardson says any more trouble at Kmart, which plans to close 284 stores and cut 22,000 jobs in an effort to climb out of bankruptcy, could hurt Martha Stewart Living in the short run.
"I am not sure the terms would be the same" if the company had to find another outlet for its wares, Heaney says. But she also says Kmart needs Martha Stewart more than Martha Stewart needs Kmart. "I am fairly confident that there is someone out there who would want to pick up the business," she says. With the Kmart relationship maintained for now, Martha Stewart Living is expanding into furniture and floor coverings, which it plans to sell through specialty retailers.
Of course, it's always possible that Martha Stewart could stop being one of America's favorite go-to people for tips on how to cook, garden, decorate, clean, and make things like yarn flowers and bunny ears. But most analysts think her reign as the queen of doing-things-just-so is assured for some time, thanks to her top-notch design team and her increasingly global reach.
More of a concern is how well the company would fare without Stewart as its icon (see BW Cover Story, 1/17/00, "Martha Inc."). "That is the No. 1 concern on the list," Gruneich says. He points out that the company is already working to build a brand not solely identified with Martha Stewart, who has long been a very hands-on executive. Nowadays, she's rarely featured on the cover of her eponymous magazine and the television unit is working on new programs that won't feature Stewart, he says.
"[Coco] Chanel and Estee Lauder were people who lived on as strong brand names," says Richardson. "And I think the same will happen with Martha Stewart." Who knows if Martha will attain the immortality of Chanel or Estee Lauder. But if you're looking for something extra to dress up that plain wicker Easter basket, some shares of Martha Stewart Living might do the trick better than gingham and pom-pom chicks.

Holistic blended design studio model : potential implication in education of Iran
Saghafi, Mahmoud Reza (2012) Holistic blended design studio model : potential implication in education of Iran. In Khaleghi, Hassan (Ed.)

Iran as a developing country faces many considerable shortages of both physical learning environment and inefficient budget to resolve this shortage. Today, Iran needs a $28 billion budget to add 23,000 schools to the existing 120,000 schools to be able to omit two shifts schools [1], [2]. Moreover, the standard learning space is 6-8 square meter per student, while this rate for big cities in Iran is about one square meter per student [1]. This decrease the time students spend in schools. In addition, the education approach in k-12 and higher education is still teacher-centered based and needs to be contemporized with educational, cultural, and technological changes.

Did you know that not all fats are bad for your health? In fact, some fats are really good for you! While all fats are energy-dense (a whopping 9 calories per gram compared to just 4 calories per gram for carbohydrates and proteins) and thus should be consumed in small portions, incorporating more of the "healthy" fats and less of the "unhealthy" fats in your diet will help you optimize health. Here is a breakdown of the various fats and how much to eat according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Fats to decrease are the fats that clog up the arteries and increase the risk for heart disease and diabetes. These are usually solid at room temperature. These included saturated fat and trans fat.
While the latest research suggests that saturated fat isn't as bad for us as was once thought, it is still a less healthy option than the "healthy" fats described below.
Healthy fats help increase HDL (good) cholesterol in the blood, which helps remove build-up of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the arteries. More HDL and less LDL promote heart health.
•Mono-unsaturated fat
°How much: No set limit. Use these to replace saturated and trans fat and use in moderation.
°Sources: olive, canola, and peanut oils, avocado, olives, nuts and seeds
•Two types of poly-unsaturated fats include omega 3 and omega 6 fats.
°Omega 3 fats come in 3 forms: EPA, DHA, and ALA. EPA and DHA have the most research to support their role in preventing heart disease.
•How much: Eat fish twice a week. Use other sources in moderation.
•Sources: EPA and DHA come from egg yolks (depending on the chicken feed) and cold-water fish and shellfish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, herring, trout, cod, crab, shrimp, and oysters. ALA comes from plant sources such as walnuts, flaxseed, canola, and soybean oils.
Total Fat intake should be no more than 20-35% of your total calories for the day.* Most of these fats should be from the good/healthy category above. Since fat has more calories per gram than carbohydrates or protein, even healthy fats should be consumed in moderation.
*To figure your fat requirement-multiply your daily calorie total by the % fat you desire. Divide that number by 9. (i.e. the total fat intake for a person on a 2000 calorie diet aiming for 20% fat would be 2000 x 0.20 = 400. 400/9 = 44 grams of fat)

He's funny, he's crafty and he's totally unpredictable! One of the biggest reasons we love Justin Bieber is because you never know what he's going to do next — and we know Selena Gomez feels the same way. HollywoodLife.com rounded up our six favorite outrageous Justin moments from his career (so far) for your viewing pleasure. Browse our gallery and vote for your favorite shenanigan!
Justin recently a partial phone number to his almost-19 million Twitter followers, saying "call me!" But even after he deleted, it the damage had been done. Frantic to figure out the final digit, his fans went nuts dialing every combination they could think of — and now two Texas residents are suing the Biebs for all the trouble he caused them! We guess his humor isn't always understood by the masses.
Justin went above-and-beyond the call of boyfriend duty when he rented out L.A.'s Staples Center in Sept. 2011 — just so he and Selena could watch Titanic by themselves!
Ever the prankster, Justin stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! back in Feb. 2011 and convinced his fans he was actually getting his shaved on national TV!
Remember when Justin introduced the world to his pet snake Johnson at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards? We'll never forget the first time we met the "Bieberconda." (Getty Images)
No one thought Justin was going to show up at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards to receive his highly coveted bling, but he did — and he got totally slimed! (Courtesy of Nickelodeon)
Poor Taylor Swift! We felt so bad when he got her on the season premiere of MTV's Punk'd — and we were shocked to find out Justin wanted to make her cry.
During the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder showed PDA for the first time — and fans went nuts! This made us this think about some of our favorite celebrity PDA of all time. Check out our gallery of the hottest celeb moments and tell us, HollywoodLifers — which couple has the hottest PDA? (FameFlynet [4])
Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran — They may be often derailed by Rihanna, but this couple likes to take to Twitter to post romantic pics together! (Courtesy Of Twitter)
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart — These Twilight lovers rarely show PDA, but when they do, it's magical! (FameFlynet)
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez — This superstar pair loves posting lovey-dovey pics online for fans to see! (FameFlynet)
Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom — Even though their relationship is on the rocks, this couple has had many too-cute moments! (FameFlynet)
Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth — Miley and Liam have been together forever, so it's no surprise that they love hanging all over each other! (FameFlynet)
Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder — This Vampire Diaries couple just recently started showing PDA, but we love it! (FameFlynet)
Austin Butler & Vanessa Hudgens — It seems like PDA is what this couple is ALL about — they love being all over each other! (FameFlynet)

Home minister RR Patil on Wednesday annou-nced that the dedicated wing to deal with crimes against women, Women Offences Wing (WOW), would be set up within a fortnight. "It will be similar to the Economic Offences Wing," Patil said.
Between 2009 and 2011, the state reported 46,000 cases related to crime against women and a conviction rate of 9.6% in rape cases.
The WOW will be attac-hed to the crime branch, and offences registered with police stations will automatically get linked to the crime branch. The WOW will be set up first in urban areas. The state is expected to appoint a senior woman police officer as WOW head.
"For supporting the wing, we are recruiting personnel. Of the 32,000 personnel, 30% will be women," Patil said.

text: Yep, it did change. The 2012 Prius has Lithium Ion batteries. http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/toyota introduces 2012 prius plug-in hybrid.htm Previously they were Nickel Metal Halide (which doesn't have the memory problems of NiCad). As for the carbon footprint, as with any part, there's an energy cost to making it. The footprint for LiION or NiMH is still high. Why? Because it takes energy to mine and produce the Lithium or Nickel. They're not a zero cost carbon footprint part. It's pretty dang high, in fact. It takes energy to make that stuff, even if the energy consumption after the fact is low, it has to first overcome the carbon footprint of manufacturing parts. I TOTALLY agree though, you're better off getting a used Honda or VW if you're really looking at MPG and costs. All that aside, a single trip in an airplane across the country blows your carbon footprint out of the water for the year. LOL. I also read that mowing your lawn once a week all summer for 45 minutes a mow (2 cycle engine) produces more carbon footprint than driving an SUV for a year. I saw a Prius towing a 2 cycle jet ski the other day. I about crapped myself laughing at the absurdity of the notion. Green? I think not! -Skippy

FLORENCE, Ore. -- Nestled amidst wind swept sand dunes and towering pines, Sandpines Golf Links is a breathtaking location for coastal golf. The Rees Jones-designed course was honored as the "Best New Public Course in America" in 1993. As one of the premier courses in the Northwest, Sandpines received a 4½ star rating from Golf Digest's list of "Places to Play in the USA."
The par-72, 7,190-yard golf course is a true test of the game to golfers of all levels. Both nines incorporate the beautifully rugged canvas that is the central Oregon coast. Sandpines' outward nine is sculpted out of a forest of towering pines and majestic crystal blue lakes reminiscent of those found on the Monterey Peninsula. The inward nine, with its traditional links style brings you back to the soul of the game, with the rolling dunes at the forefront from tee to green.
Dates: Good through April 30, 2013.
Price range: $99.

Michael Dawson is an English centre back who plays for Hull City and the England national team. Dawson played over 300 matches for the Tottenham Hotspur. Dawson is most notably known for his strength and aerial abilities making him a key defender at the club.
Michael Dawson is a centre back who currently plays for Hull City after beginning his career with the Nottingham Forest youth team in 1997. After spending several years in the Forest academy, Dawson made the breakthrough to the first team in April 2002 during a 3-2 defeat against Walsall. The following campaign saw the young defender form a partnership with veteran Des Walker that led Forest to 6th in the first division. However, they eventually lost in the play off semi finals to Sheffield United over two legs. Unfortunately, a case of glandular fever saw Dawson miss a large proportion of the 03/04 season. The 2004/05 campaign was no better for the defender as Forest were relegated to the 3rd tier for only the second time in their history.
As a result of the team's decline, Dawson was sold to Tottenham in the summer of 2005 for a combined £8 million with Andy Reid. He settled well into life in the Premier League with a series of good performances alongside Ledley King. His never say die attitude turned him into a fan favourite immediately. However following the club's near miss at breaking into the top four, Dawson lost form which coincided with Tottenham's poor start to the next season.
He was displaced by Jonathon Woodgate before winning his place back due to the defender's injury nightmares. Dawson made his senior debut for England in August 2010. Dawson replaced injured Rio Ferdinand at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Dawson played four times for the Three Lions.

Hi !
If you are here it's probably because you download my addons "molecular script" from the download page here and want to know a bit how it's working now. Let's see together how the script work and how each parameters take effects on particles. This docs is written with consideration then you have a minimum knowledge with Blender and it's basic particles system.
1 – First thing , how to install it :
Install this addon is really simple and is installed like many addon:
- Download the zip file from here in a temporary folder.
- Open Blender and go in File , User Preferences … and Addons tab
- Click on "install from file…" button in the bottom of this panel
- Browse where you previously save the zip file and select it.
- Push button "install from file…"
- Now in the addons tab you can find " Object: Molecular script" and check it to activate.
- Click "save user settings" if you want it be loaded every time you open Blender.
Alternate installation:
- Go in "[your blender installation folder]\2.6x\scripts\addons"
- Unzip the folder "molecular" here
- now you have "[your blender installation folder]\2.66\scripts\addons\molecular\" folder with "_init_.py" and "molecular.so or molecular.pyd" in it.
- If you run Blender , you can see "molecular script" in the Addons tabs like description below at step 6 and 7.
After this steps , if you create a particles systems on an object , you see in the bottom of the particles tab this new panel.
2 – How it's work ?
This script globally do two things: Self collision and particles links.
Self collision is really simple to understand. Blender particles don't have hard self collision ( except for fluid particles but they have soft collision ) so you cannot fill a cup with particles like you can do in real life with sand. Each particles pass through each others. With this script you can do it now without to fake it with fluid particle ( in the case where you don,t want to make liquid ).
Links is like you attach each particles with others with a spring. But in this addon , it's not only a simple spring but is more accurate to visualise it like a car suspension. You have a spring to keep a distance between particle and a damper (call shocks on car) to avoid the spring wobble indefinitely. The addon just calculate the right amount of velocity to put on particles to keep them fellowing the rules you enter in the settings.
From that , let's see what each parameters of the panel did exactly.
3- What parameters does ?
The first parameters you see is the check box "Molecular Script". Check it to activate this current particles system to be processed by the addon. It's the most simple parameter ! 😉 After that you have the density section:
3.1 Density:
This section is simple too. It's let's you set a mass to your particles by density. The density is the weight in kilogramme per cube meter. Many preset is available in the preset rollout and more is to come in the future. Manually density can be set by selecting the "custom" preset and enter it in the "Kg per CubeMeter:" field. I recommend to activate this option because it's more easier to keep a good relation between different particles mass. If not activated , the addon take the mass set in the particles settings ( generally set to 1.0 by default ). An approximation of the total weight of you system is show at the bottom of this section. WARNING: It's really a rough approximation ( volume of a particle * density * total numbers of particles ).
3.2 Collision:
The second section is about self-collision. You have four parameters to set here.
- "Activate Self Collision" is active collision between particles in the current particle system.
- " Activate collision with others" let's particles in this systems collide with particles of others systems.
- " Collide only with:" let's you set a collision group. Particles only collide with particles of others system if they are in the same collision group. 12 groups is available.
- "Friction" let's you set friction between particles during collision. Near to 0.0 equal particles slip on each others like ice. Near to 1.0 make particles rub with a lot of friction like sanding paper.
- "Damping" let's you set how hard collision happens. near to 0.0 the collision is more like rubber ball and all energy are transfert. near to 1.0 , collision is soft like clay balls and a lot of energy is lost ( transform in friction/heat in the real world ).
3.3 Links:
Where the fun start! "Activate particles linking" activate linking between particles. Let's you make "solid" matter.
3.3.1 Link at bird:
- "Search length" is the maximum distance ( blender unit ) the addon search for neighbours particles to link together. The "relative" check box let's you set this distance relative to the particle size ( radius in the case of Blender ). I recommend to use relative because it's more intuitive and easy. With relative: value of 2.01 mean linking with all particles near to touch it if both particles have the same size. Value of 3.51 ( I use it in many case ) link particules neighbours at verticals , horizontals and diagonals. More links get stronger materials but is more time expensive.
- " Max links" let's you set a maximum of links per particles. Recommend to set it more than 8 in most situation.
- "Link Friction" is a kind of viscosity. Each links are ball jointed , so it's can rotate in any direction when attach alone. Putting more friction make this ball joint more difficult to rotate and limit a particle to swing forever.
- " Tension" make the link smaller or bigger than the distance they find it. 1.00 mean no change are made and the link length is exactly the same the distance of the finding neighbours. 1.10 mean 10% longer , 0.90 mean 10% shorter. Play gently with this settings to don't make your particles blowing up. This parameter come with a random variation just at right.
- "Stiff" is the stiffness of the link. It's how hard the spring is to compress or extend it. It's make your matter more solid if near to 1.0 and soft if near to 0.0. More than 1.0 can make your particles unstable in many case. This parameter come with a random variation just at right.
- "Damping" is slowing down the spring , like the cylinder does on a car shocks. That's stop the spring to go back and forth indefinitely. A lot of stiffness with small damping look your matter like rubber. Small amount of stiffness with a lot of damping look like clay. Put a bit a damping can help to make your particles more stable but more than 1.0 make it explode.This parameter come with a random variation just at right.
- "Broken" is a threshold of how many times you links can be compress or extend before they break. A value of 0.05 mean your links can be compress or stretched 5% of it's original length before they break. Value of 2.00 means 200%. 0.00 value means your links break immediately after they are created and it's useless.This parameter come with a random variation just at right.
- "Same values for compression/expansion" , when checked , make value set above the same for compression and expansion. But when uncheck , you can set different value for expansion. "Stiff" at 0.4 and "E Stiff" at 0.8 mean you links it harder to extend than to compress. This is the same for "E Damping" and " E broken". All of this parameters come with a random variation just at right.
3.3.2 New Linking ( at collision):
When % linking is greater than 0.00 , this make links when to particles collide together. It's purpose is to simulate sticky material. Note than self collision and/or collision with others need to be activated.
- "Only links with" is a relink group where only particles of the the same groups can "stick" together at collision.
- "% linking" is the chance of a link are created when a collision happens. 0.00 mean that no chance of creating link so the option is not active. 100.00 mean every collision make a link between the two collided particles. Each time a new collision happens at each subframe , a chance of link creation can be done.This parameter come with a random variation just at right.
- All parameters below that is exactly the same parameters describe in 3.3.1 , so just go to see above for details.
3.4 UV's
A. Check this options to bake UV's from the emmiter. Emmiter need to have unwrapped UVmap … if not , this option stay grey shaded and you cannot access to it. UV's infomation is store in the angular velocity of the particles and can be retrieve with Particle Info node in cycle has you can see below:
Because UV's is a 2D vector for a Image and angular velocity is a 3D vector , I store in the third the distance from surface information. So you can make different material depends on how far the particles is from the surface like this:
3.5 Simulate !
When all parameters is set , it's time to give it a try to see what happens.
- " Start Frame" is the starting frame of the simulation. Directly linked with the start frame of your timeline.
- "End Frame" is the ending frame of the simulation. Directly linked with the end frame of your timeline.
- "substep" is the more important parameters in this kind of simulation. Is the numbers of calculation the addon did between each frame. 0 mean 1 calculation per frame. 10 mean 10 calculation per frame. More you have particles , more you need substeps to get all parameters you set above resolved accuratly. 10 particles can have 0 substep with no problem. 10k need in many case a minimum of 8 substeps. 100k and more can need up to 20-30 substeps. Sometime a really hard "stiffness" of 1.0 can look like really smooth if not enough substeps are set.
- " CPU used" is the number of thread you want to use for the simulation.
- "Bake all at ending" bake all particles systems cache with molecular script activated when they reach the end of the simulation ( set by the " End frame" parameters ).
- " Render at ending" start rendering image set in your Render tab ( similar to hit Animation in the Render tab ) when the simulation is finish. "Bake all at ending" need to be check just to be sure to don't have surprise. 🙂 WARNING: Blender freeze until the render are finish unfortunately.
- "Start Molecular Simulation" button start the simulation when you are ready to see it !
You can always stop the simulation by pressing ESC on your keyboard. All information about the simulation progress is printed in the system console.
3.6 Tools
Tools are just some little things to help you a bit with simulation.
3.6.1 Particle UV's
A. " Set Global Uv" set a global uv's from the current frame you are now and store it in the angular velocity like show in point 3.4 of the docs. Only usefull for 3D textures.
B. " Set Active UV" set uv's from the active emmiter uv's related to the position of the particles at the current frame. For more details , see point 3.4 in the current docs.
3.6.2 Substeps Caculator:
Probably the most usefull tool to calculate appropriate substeps number to increase or decrease the resolution of you sims correctly.
A. "Current numbers of particles" is where you enter the number of particles you start from. Usely the current number of particles you have now.
B. " Current substeps" is the current substep you are set for the current simulation
C. "targeted number of particles" is the number of particles you want to go. By increasing or decreasing it.
Above that, you have all information to set correctly you simulation. By what is the new number of substeps you need to enter in the settings , by how much you need to increase or decrease the size of you particles and how much you need to decrease or increase other number of particles in other particles systems if you want them continue to react correctly as the previous low or high resolution simulation.
4- Tips !
- Addons works with already existing Blender features like : fluids particles , boids , geometry collision , forces … etc.
- Grid align generated particles give more stable particles than random generated. Why ? Because with random particles generation you have a lot of chance ( specially with a lot of particles ) to get two particles closes to be at the same position. This give short link that broke easily and when it's break , the two particles start to be in collision ( because it's already through each others) and try to push it away with a lot of force. And a chain reaction start where this particles collide with others … broke more links … and so on ! Put a bit of "random" ( just below the "Grid" button ) can be done without a problems.
- If you use grid align , make sure your particles size is correctly set with you grid Resolution.
- Always cache your particles on disk ( specially when you have a lot of particle or/and a lot of frame to cache ). Caching in memory take a lot a memory space and it's frustrating when Blender crash because memory go to high. And alway be sure two particles systems don't have the same cache name ( it's make weird things ).
- When you getting a simulation explode at the beginning and you is not what's you are expected , make sure the normal velocity don't stay at it's default value but at 0.0.
- A bit of drag and damp always get better result. Not too much , just enough. And size deflect give a better result for geometry collision.
- if you refers to image above , you have different particles physics types ( No , Newtonian , Keyed , Boids , Fluid ). Put it to " No" is a good way to "pin" another's particles systems with this addons by only make links for this particle system.
- Always did test with small amount of particles ( 32k or lower ) and see if it's react like you want. Increase the numbers if it's the case.
- Minimize Blender windows make simulation running faster. Particullary true when a small amount of particles is used.
The purpose of this addon is not to be physically accurate but more giving somethings visually credible and easy for artist to play and understand with it.
Thanks to all donors and hope you have fun with this script !

Tanuja revealed that she had been to restaurants all over the world who also allowed her to take away the left over food, but the Mumbai restaurant did not allow the actress to do so. When the actress asked what they would do with the left over food, the waiters said that they would throw it.
Later Tanuja also revealed that the restaurant people called the bouncers to make sure that the left over food wasn't taken out. But on the other hand the restaurant staff had a different story to tell and said that the actress was drunk and was using abusive language.
The staff also said that she was constantly abusing the staff members and also broke one of the awards at the reception. The restaurant people also revealed that the actress also threw food on the floor and despite everything they treated her with respect. Moreover, the restaurant people also revealed that they do not have any bouncers.

Estimation of critical shear stress from cohesive strength meter-derived erosion thresholds
Limnol. Oceanogr. Methods 8:678-685 (2010) | DOI: 10.4319/lom.2010.8.0678
ABSTRACT: Measures of cohesive sediment erodibility, such as erosion thresholds and rates, are essential for the development of accurate sediment transport models. In situ devices for erodibility quantification are increasingly being used to capture the high spatial and temporal variability in erodibility found in natural cohesive sediments. The cohesive strength meter (CSM) is a small, hand-held, commercially available device that has been used extensively in recent years to measure in situ erosion thresholds. However, the device is primarily used for relative measures of erosion thresholds, due to a difficulty in comparing the vertical forces generated by the CSM with horizontal bed shear stress. In this article, we describe the development of a methodology for the estimation of horizontal bed shear stress from CSM-derived erosion thresholds. The approach used cohesive sediment mixtures with varying clay contents to create sediments with a range of erodibilities and tested them using the CSM and a laboratory annular flume. A calibration is proposed based on a comparison of mean erosion thresholds from each device per clay treatment. This study is the first successful inter-comparison between CSM- and flume-derived erosion thresholds. Significant differences in erosion thresholds were noted between CSM routines, so it is recommended that the empirical calibration be applied only to erosion thresholds estimated using the Sand 1 routine, and ranging from 40-90 Pa stagnation pressure. The calibration allows the conversion of CSM-derived erosion thresholds into critical shear stress, a form that permits incorporation into sediment transport models.

WOW!!! I can't believe today is my (and Freddy's) FOURTH birthday already!!!! Mom can't either!!! She says it seems like just yesterday that she and Dad picked me and Freddy up and drove us back to our new home, and both of us would fit on Mom's lap!!!! Now she calls us Tubby Teddy and Fatty Freddy!!! But we've had a really nice birthday, and the friends in Persians & Himalayan group gave us a nice party!!! Thanks to all our Catster friends!!!
Here I am going on 3 years old, and hadn't really even given a lot of thought to a girlfurriend! But my fur-sis, Dolly, introduced me to a new friend of hers named Zoe.....she looks so much like Dolly that it's eerie!! Anyway....we've been chatting and found out we have a lot in common....and I'm pretty sure she likes me!!!! And I think I'm falling head over heels!!!! This is all so new to me!!! But it feels nice, too!!!
This is SO exciting!!! There is this big glass door, and one day Mom went over and clicked the latch and opened it!! I cautiously went through the door into this new room! It is the greatest place!!! It's outside, but still safe from predators and everything! And it has great furniture out there for me to lie on and sleep or watch birds or squirrels or bees and wasps...sometimes chase spiders and bugs on the floor! Mom says it's a screened porch! It even has a ceiling fan for really hot days!! I would just stay out there all the time, if they'd let me! Every time I hear that latch on that door, I come running from wherever I may be! Even if I'm sound asleep in the other end of the house, I don't miss that sound!!! Life is good!!!!!

The query based learning system for lifetime prediction of metallic components
Ge, Esther (2008) The query based learning system for lifetime prediction of metallic components. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
This research project was a step forward in developing an efficient data mining method for estimating the service life of metallic components in Queensland school buildings. The developed method links together the different data sources of service life information and builds the model for a real situation when the users have information on limited inputs only. A practical lifetime prediction system was developed for the industry partners of this project including Queensland Department of Public Works and Queensland Department of Main Roads. The system provides high accuracy in practice where not all inputs are available for querying to the system.
