Bricks are undoubtedly amongst the most commonly used construction materials anywhere. Bricks of different varieties are available in the market such as clay bricks, cement bricks, fly ash bricks and so on. However, the most commonly used and readily available type is theclay brick. The details and quality tests to be discussed in this submit are on clay bricks.
In the case of apartment, the entire load is taken cases. If of the framed structure and hence the general feeling of everyone is, it is only for the purpose of partition. Hence, in general all inside walls are made up of 4 inch brick walls and all outside walls and wall in between two apartments are made up of 9 Inch Wall.
Nowadays, everyone preferred to conceal wiring and concealed Pipe Lines. So 2 to 2½ inches are cut open on these 4 inch walls and many places, similarly most of the junction boxes & switch boxes require more space & hence wall is broken through
When the routine cutting is done, if one practically goes near the wall, we can see the wall just float/shaken as if it may fall at any time. Then usually the pipes are fixed, concrete / market covered and plastered and strengthens their 4 inch wall.4 inch walls cover the most of the walls generally in apartments.
If a stronger brick over used in these 4 inch walls (and so has to be in 9 inch walls also) this shake and little cracks can be avoided, though the cost of the stronger bricks is almost double.The Cost of a normal brick is Rs.5 /- it receipts the load of 4N/mm2.Rather cost of wire cut brick is Rs.11 /-but it receipts the load up to 18 N/mm2.We get 41/2 times stronger bricks when we double the cost.Testing Method
Water absorption test: Five bricks are picked at random from a stack of bricks intended to be used. They are then dried thoroughly in a laboratory oven at a temperature between 105¤C to 110¤C. Thereafter they are cooled and weighed separately. Then they are kept immersed in cold water (27¤C or – 2¤C). After 24 hours the bricks are taken out of water and excess surface water is wiped off using a damp fabric. Immediately after, they are weighed again separately. Supposing that the dry weight of a brick is Wd and the wet weight of the same brick is Ww, the water absorption capacity of the brick expressed in percentage of its dry wt. is = (Ww – Wd)/Wd X 100. Upon calculating the same for each of the 5 bricks the average is finding out which is considered as the water absorption capacity for the bricks. The water absorption capacity of first class bricks should not exceed 20% when calculated as described above. The same for 2nd and 3rd class bricks are not to exceed 22% and 25% respectively. For any superior quality brickwork, first class bricks only are recommended while 2nd & 3rd class clay bricks are advised for moderate to low quality work.
Normal Quality: Brick- 4N/mm2 –Cost Rs.5 /-
Most vital part of the construction industry is concrete. The mix is very important. We have to ensure the followingTHE CHIPS:
Chips should be cubical (i.e.) to have more than 5/6 sided, so that it can take load on all sides. It should not be flat. It wouldn't take a load on the flat surface and it is susceptible for easy breakage, so that the concrete strength will fall rapidly.SAND:
River sand, coarse is preferable, and no clay should exist in it. It is idle to wash the sand before it mixing of concreteDUST:
It is mostly advised not to add dust in the mix which will dilute the strength of the concreteWATER:
Only soft water is to be added. The water PPM should not exceed 100 PPM. The Coimbatore Zone all ground water is average 300 PPM to 3000 PPM. It is to be treated, softened, tested and then only it is added to mix. Proper quantity of water will increase the strength. If more water is added, the mix will be easily flow able but it will reduce the strength of concrete.
So the Water in the mix should come out to loosen the mix, when Vibrator is properly done with needle and betake vibrator it will be only water mix and no loose water will be seen in the mix.
Before pouring concrete the cover block should be checked whether it is fixed below the still Network. So that Concrete will be on either side of the steel, add maximum strength to the structure.ADMIXTURE TIME :
Water reducing agent and concrete flexibility agents and steel composites resisting Agents to be poured in the proper proportion to have a better connecting effect.STRENGTH OF THE CONCRETE :
Calculates in N/mm2. A rich mix concrete of 1: 1½: 3 ratio, with proper additives will result 80% more strength, with an extra cost of 25% or otherwise 125% of the cost will yield 180% of strength.TESTING METHOD:
Cube testing is to be done for every concreting, three cubes should result identical figure in the 7th day. It shows 58% the final strength of the concrete, which is attainable on 28th day (98%)Normal Quality:
Concrete- 20N/mm2 –Cost Rs.3200 /-
The main ingredient in the construction field is water, but generally doesn't take care of.
The water PPM should be less than 100, as per the coder of the building industry. All Engineers know it, very well. Even the government and PWD buildings are not able to follow this, as therein no extra money paid for softening water.
If the water from bore well of Coimbatore is sent for testing in king institute or water analysis department, then it and comes with a clear certificate that "this water is not suitable for construction."
Because all waters in Coimbatore are with minimum 300 to 400 PPM in Marudhamalai Road and goes up to 2000 to 3000 PPM in Saravanampatti Area
But almost all constructions are going on with these waters, it will lead to weaken the strength of the materials and concrete, hence corrode easily affects the rods inside. Ultimately, the life of the buildings drops dramatically.
In below to up keep the strength of the building the water should be tested and if needed, it is to be softened before sending for construction.
Water used for mixing and curing shall be clean and free from injurious quantities of alkalis, acids, oils, salts, sugar, organic materials, vegetable growth or other substance that may be deleterious to bricks, stone, concrete or steel. Potable water is generally considered satisfactory for mixing.
(i) Water found satisfactory for mixing is also suitable for curing. However, the water used for curing shall not produce any objectionable stain or unsightly deposit on the surface.
(ii) Sea water shall not be used for mixing or curing.
(iii) Water from each source shall be tested before the commencement of the work and thereafter once in every three months till the completion of the work. In case of ground water, testing shall also be done for different point of drawdown. Water from each source shall be getting tested during the dry season before the monsoon and again after monsoon.Normal Quality:
Below 100 ppm (At Coimbatore minimum 300 to 400 PPM in Marudhamalai Road and goes up to 2000 to 3000 PPM on Saravanampati Area .almost all constructions are going on with these waters)
Marking in Steel Rods is done as Fe 500 or Fe 415,
Fe 500: Base is Bulletin or pure ingots. No other materials are mixed with.
Fe 415: Base is Steel ingots with scrape mixed up to 16.8% (i.e) 83.2+16.8%=100%
@ 83.2 X 500 = 415 or Fe 415
83.2% pure in Fe 415
100% pure in Fe 500 = 100 = 1.20 or 20% Superior Material
Cost of Fe 415 (83.2 % Pure) is Rs.54 /-
Cost of Fe 500 (100 % Pure) is Rs.58 /-
Cost various 7½% Paying more we get 20% Superior Material

A NUMBER of Kiama and Shellharbour area businesses have been announced as finalists in the 2014 South Coast Regional Tourism Awards.
In total 10 businesses from across the two regions will be hoping to hear their names called out when the winners are announced in late August.
The Kiama Show, Kiama Tourism, The Sebel Harbourside Kiama, Shutters By The Sea Kiama and Gerroa's Surf Camp Australia are the Kiama area nominees, while Shellharbour is represented by the Shellharbour Visitor Information Centre, The Shellharbour Club, Ravensthorpe, Ravenous, NSW Air Pty Ltd and the Warilla Bowls & Recreation Club.
This is the second year the Kiama Show Society has been nominated, and this year they are hoping to better the bronze award they received last year.
''It's really exciting, last year we received a bronze award in the tourism events category which was great, but hopefully we can go better this year,'' Kiama Show Society publicity officer Karen Beasley said.
''It's a great for all the volunteers who are part of the society to see their work being recognised, but the awards are also a great thing in encouraging us to be self aware about the things we're doing and to look and see if there are things we can do to keep improving.''
Jim McCallum, who co-owns and operates Ravensthorpe with his wife Deborah, agreed that the awards are a great way for businesses to indentify what they're doing well and what can be done better.
''It's a great measuring stick to see how you're going as a business and a great way to encourage you to make sure you're doing all you can to provide the best service you can,'' he said.
''That benefits the whole region as well, if businesses are entering the awards and trying to do the best they can then tourism across the whole area will benefit and that's why I'd encourage everybody to enter the awards.''
Chair of the South Coast Regional Tourism Organisation Brian Longbottom congratulated all finalists and wished them all the best for the final.
"The standard of entry was extremely high and the competition between the businesses demonstrates the aim of all the entrants to present the best possible tourism experience to the visitors to the South Coast of NSW," he said.
The winners of the awards will be announced at a gala dinner at The Batemans Bay Soldiers Club on Wednesday, August 27.

Safran's Morpho subsidiary is here in Farnborough (Hall 4 Stand B12) exhibiting a mockup of its CTX 9800 machine for detecting the presence of explosives in passenger baggage, which was approved just last year by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration. Olivier Andries, Safran's executive v-p for defense and security, claims the system is much faster and has better detection performance than other explosive detectors.
Using improved tomography technology, the CTX 9800 can process up to 1,000 pieces of luggage per hour. "This has to be compared to a typical 500 pieces per hour," Andries told AIN. Moreover, greater resolution helps spotting smaller quantities of explosive material and the false alarm rate also is lower. San Jose Airport in California is the first customer for the new system.
The smaller, less expensive Morpho CTX 5800 is derived from the CTX 9800. It has the same detection performance but handles just 400 to 500 pieces of baggage per hour. Safran bought this baggage scanning business from GE last year.
Also on Morpho's display is "Finger on the fly," a contact-free fingerprint identification system. For future products, design engineers are endeavoring to improve security performance, especially in detecting hazardous liquids and explosives hidden on a passenger's body. Simultaneously, they are looking for ways to accelerate security checks at airports.
Through acquisitions in recent years, Morpho has grown its offerings in biometry, secure identity documents and homeland protection. Andries said most of the company's future growth will be organic, although "targeted acquisitions" are still an option. On Friday, news agency Bloomberg reported that Safran is considering taking over U.S. biometry specialist L-1.

Article: Gold at $2,500 Looks More Likely Than Ever
Dan Burrows at Daily Finance interviewed David Rosenberg - a very respected name in our industry. First, a bit about Mr. Rosenberg. He ranked 4th out of 104 economists in the 2009 Thompson-Extel survey of global portfolio managers.
From the article:
David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist at Canada's Gluskin Sheff, tends to be pretty bearish, but he's also about as dispassionate and data-driven a guy as you can find. In other words, he's hardly some kooky gold bug. And if past relationships among data sets hold up, gold fever is just getting started, Rosenberg says.There is no doubt that when benchmarked against the CPI, money supply and GDP, gold can easily double from here, Rosenberg told clients in a Tuesday report.
A Simple Matter of Supply and DemandWhich brings us to the issue of stagnant supply, and that too favors a sustained bull market in gold, Rosenberg says. Global mined production of the ductile metal hasn't increased in a decade -- and has actually declined outright in five of the past eight years. Furthermore, almost all the gold that's easy to dig up -- and therefore cheaper to get at -- has been unearthed. Gold companies in South Africa have to drill as much as 2.3 miles to get to new deposits. Meanwhile, all Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has to do to create currency is press a button, Rosenberg says. Here is the link.
Excellent advice to prepare your portfolio against an onslaught of helicopter money when Ben Bernanke hits that button continuously (which he has already done!) Start your wall of defense - with gold coins. Note the conclusion Rosenberg made on gold supply and demand. Investing in gold is wise now before you hear about a gold shortage!

History of Thai money
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The evolution of money in Thailand used as a medium of exchange and to make payment before the adoption of Thai Baht coins and banknotes currently in use, included designs and forms which have been found over various period of time. For Thai people, money was considered as the symbol of civilization. Money itself, reflected belief, faith in religion, culture, customs and traditions of each era and also act as a significant record in the development and history of Thailand.

The land which is now Thailand was once inhabited by various pre-historic communities. Therefore, these groups of people left a heritage of social culture and ceremonies.
In the ancient days of Thai society, before money was created to serve as a medium of exchange, humans traded goods by bartering for products of similar value. However, many products differed in quality, and buyers and sellers differed in their assessments of value and in their requirements. To facilitate product sales, several mutually-agreed commodities came into use as mediums for exchange.
The Indo-China Peninsula or "Suvarnabhumi" which means "Golden Peninsula" was the geographical area on which Thailand is presently situated. These ancient kingdoms were a prosperous homeland for a variety of diverse races and tribes. They were the regions that were later on known as the Funan Kingdom, Dvaravati Kingdom, Srivijaya Kingdom and Sukhothai Kingdom. They used money as a "medium of exchange" which evolved into different forms of money. Thai money has the unique characteristics of the Thai nation with the Sukhothai Kingdom, using round shaped money made from silver which was known as Pod Duang, and has been continued from that time down to the Ayudhya, Thonburi and the early Rattanakosin periods.
Funan Kingdom (1st–6th centuries AD)[edit]
Funan was the most important region of Indo–China and became highly successful in trade during the 1st through 6th centuries. The Funan Kingdom was influenced by India, through trading and religion. The coinage used during that period bears marks symbolizing the monarchy and the religion, these were mostly flat and round coins made from silver. These coins display, on one side, a half sun spreading rays between two rows of fish eggs. The opposite side carries, in a central position, the Sriwatsa design that represents Phra Narai in accordance with the Brahmin religion, with Bandoh, a small Brahmin ceremonial drum, in one corner; and the Swastika, a symbol that represents good-luck, in the other. At the top of each coin the sign of the sun and the moon appear.
Dvaravati Kingdom (6th–11th centuries)[edit]
With the decline of the Funan Kingdom, several kingdoms declared their freedom and independence. They alternated at being the dominant power in the area. Including,the regions around the central Chao Phya River basin such as Nakhon Pathom, Rajburi, Supanburi etc. They had become the important cities and formed themselves into the consolidated kingdom known as the Kingdom of Dvaravati in the 6th century AD. They also alternated at being the dominant power in the area and continued to follow the religious beliefs and administrative systems that had been adopted from India, and meantime, were influenced by Khmer cultures and beliefs. The Dvaravati Kingdom produced many types of coins as a medium in trade. They revealed, through the designs on the coins, symbols of monarchy and the power of the state, the beliefs of Buddhism and the Bhramin religion.
Samples are coins inscribed with the large conch, the small conch, the rabbit on a lily leaf, and the goat, with a row of fish eggs decorating the outer edge. On the reverse side is the Sriwatsa symbol flanked by mohout's hooks, with the sun and moon on the top and fish at the bottom. In addition, there are flat coins on one side. On some of these coins appeared the features of Buranaklod (water jar), the Dhama wheel and a cow. On the reverse side of the coins are the ancient Sanskrit script.
Srivijaya Kingdom (8th–13th centuries)[edit]
Around the 8th century, the Srivijaya Kingdom was "The land of Sea-faring Traders". Therefore, the Malaysian Peninsula, especially the area of Chaiya and Nakhon Sri Thammaraj province prospered because they were vital ports on the trade route and also the central market of goods from Europe, Middle East, India and Khmer. Merchant ships stopped to seek shelter from the southern monsoons of the Malaysian Peninsula. Eventually, these lands in the southern part down to Sumatra Island rose to power and banded together to form Srivijaya Kingdom. The people were Buddhists of the Mahayana Sect, ruled by a king.
The two main types of money found originating from Srivijaya Kingdom were Dok Chan Money and Namo Money.
Silver and gold Dok Chan Money is flat, round, and imprinted with a four-petal blossom on one side, with the other side imprinted with the ancient Sanskrit word "wara".
Silver mixed with antimony Namo Money is flat, round and small with one side bearing the ancient Sanskit letter similar to Thai alphabet "น". On the other side, there are fold and gully marks.
Sukhothai Kingdom (13th–15th centuries)[edit]
The Sukhothai Kingdom was founded after the joint efforts and armies of Poh Khun (King) Pah Muang and Poh Khun (King) Bang Klang Hao successfully dislodged the Khmer from holding on the administrative powers over the territories of Suvarnaphumi. Poh Khun Bang Klang Hao ascended the throne of the Sukhothai Kingdom under a new title and name: King Sri Intharathit.
The pinnacle of political and administrative power, and the development of the Sukhothai Kingdom, was reached during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng.This Kingdom's territory was extended to cover the entire length of the Malaysian Peninsula. The initiation of the Thai alphabet and its inscription into stone. Besides, the people of Sukhothai made ceramics which were considered to be of high quality and known as "Sangkalok". Sangkalok was an important component of exports.
Meanwhile, the medium of exchange used in this kingdom varied but the type of money originated in Sukhothai was "Pod Duang" or "Bullet Money" , it was in circulation for 600 years. It was round-shaped, with long, sharp and pointed tips of legs, and a large hole between the legs. It had marks to show the origin, as few as one and as many as seven marks have been found stamped into Sukhothai Pod Duang. The marks most often found are lion, elephant, conch, Dharma Wheel, lotus, rabbit and ratchawat (a pyramid of dots).
Additionally, it was found that Sukhothai used a hard mixture of many low value metal, such as, tin, lead and zinc,to produce a shape resembling Pod Duang, but of larger size, they were called different names, such as "Pod Duang Chin", Ngern Kub, Ngern Khub or Ngern Kook. Cowrie shells or Bia were also used as small change in Sukhothai Kingdom.
Ayudhya Kingdom (1350-1767)[edit]
The establishment of the Kingdom of Ayudhya was in 1350 A.D. . Due to the geographical location with the junction of four main rivers, namely, Chao Phraya, Noi, Lop Buri and Pa Sak, Ayudhaya had become then the centre of commerce, communication, economics and administration.
The main Ayudhya money remained Pod Duang as in the Sukhothai period, but with some modifications. The coins later became more compact, with shorter and wider apart legs, and with smaller and less deep notchmarks. They also made the rice grains pattern instead. Pod Duang of the period bore only two marks. On the top was the Chakra, which was the kingdom mark, and in the front was the Reign marks, which varied in design, such as the Pum Khao Bin, Ratchawat, Elephant and Conch Shell marks etc.
Thonburi Kingdom (1767-1782)[edit]
After the fall of Ayudhya to the Burmese in 1767, King Taksin led the Thai army to push out and vanquish the Burmese. After liberation, King Taksin tried to put the country back in order, as Ayudhya had been sacked and burnt by the Burmese and was difficult to renovate in a short time. Therefore, King Taksin chose to establish his capital in Thonburi. Thonburi was close to the sea and suitable as a seaport for trading with foreign countries. It was a small city that was easy to take care of and defend. Later, he was enthroned as the king and the people passed a resolution to honor him as "King Taksin the Great"
The money that was used early in this reign was Pod Duang of Ayudhya and later King Taksin had Pod Duang produced for use in the economic system with similar characteristics as that of the later Ayudhya period but was stamped with the Chakra as the Kingdom mark. Regarding the Reign mark, it still remained controversial as to what symbol was used: "Trisula" or "Thavivudh"
Rattanakosin Kingdom[edit]
Following Thonburi Kingdom, Rattanakosin was established as the new capital. The Money system at the beginning of Rattanakosin Era was similar to Ayudhya monetary system consisting of Pod Duang but it was modified in order to exhibit the development of unique traits attributed to Thai people living in this era. Commemorating Pod Duang also came into being, which showed there was a shared interest in the importance of the events occurring in their time. Then, King Rama IV who had the royal intention to produce "flat coin" for use. Thus, for the first time this became a period in which Thai money entered the international system.
Reign of King Rama I to King Rama III[edit]
In the Reign of King Rama I until King Rama III, Pod Duang was continued in use but with the Reign mark changed. King Phra Buddha Yodfa Chulalok the Great (King Rama I) created Pod Duang with the Chakra representing the Kingdom mark and the Bua Unalom and the royal emblem of King Rama I. The Pod Duang also had values: Tumlung, Baht, half Baht, Salung, Fuang.
The money used in the reign of King Rama II continued to be Pod Duang which was similar to that of King Rama I's, but with the Reign mark changed to the Garuda to represent the reign of King Rama II. It is assumed of come from his former name "Chim Plee", the paradise home of Lord Garuda.
The money produced in the reign of King Rama III remained the Pod Duang carrying the Chakra-Prasat mark. The Prasat mark represents King Rama III's former name: "Tab"(Tee pratab),which was Phra Maha Prasat (Royal Palace). Additionally, it was found that Pod Duang was produced to commemorate some important occasions such as Pod Duang krut sio, Pod Duang Chaleo, Pod Duang Dok Mai and Pod Duang Bai Matum.
Reign of King Rama IV[edit]
The Thai monetary system changed significantly during the reign of King Rama IV. This period saw increasing numbers of trade between Thai and foreigners. During, the early period of the reign, Pod Duang was still the main money, bearing the chakra as the Kingdom mark and the Mongkut as the Reign mark. The use of the Mongkut mark (crown) was the pre-ascension of His title and name "Crown Prince Mongkut".
Meantime, Thailand had a problem due to the inability of being able to produce sufficient Pod Duang and to meet demand as well as prevent widespread counterfeiting, King Rama IV had the paper money issued for use along with Pod Duang, being called "Mai". Mai was produced from paper with simple printing and used together with Pod Duang, but this series of paper money was not popular with citizens.[1]
In 1857, Queen Victoria sent a small man-powered coin production machine as a royal gift. King Rama IV had the first coin production machine. This coin was called "Rien Bannakarn" (Royal Gift Coins). But, finally, the cessation of use of this machine was ordered because only a small number of coins could be produced per day. They had a new steam-powered machine for the production of flat coinage. Later, King Rama IV ordered the construction of the "Sitthikarn Mint" in front of the Royal Treasury, in the Grand Palace. The first series of coins produced by this machine were similar to the Royal Gift Coins. They could be used alongside Pod Duang, as the production of Pod Duang had been discontinued.
In this same year King Rama IV ordered the production of gold and silver coins of four-Baht value bearing the Monkut-Krung Siam mark for giving as memento on occasion of His 60th Birthday.
Reign of King Rama V[edit]
The reign of King Rama V saw a significant development of the nation in almost every aspect including in monetary and financial system. In 1875, the King ordered a new Mint built, including installation of a new machine with greater production capacity and efficiency. The new Mint began producing silver coins with the royal portrait and the Coat-of-Arms design, making it the first time that the front side carried the profile of the ruling monarch. It became the operating format for later reign. HM ordered the issuance of new tin Solos coins bearing on the obverse the Phra Kiew (the coronet), and in the reverse, the Elephant inside Chakra design. The Phra Kiew is also called "Chula Mongkut" as the royal emblem of King Rama V.
During his reign, his younger brother Prince Jayanta Mongkol was tasked with restructuring of the monetary system to realign Siam's money units along the international lines, from the former 13 units, — Tos, Pit, Pad Duang, Chang, Tumlung, Baht, Salung, Fuang, Pai, Sik, Sio, Att and Solos. These had been based upon weight and made keeping accounts along international lines difficult.
Pod Duang production had ceased in the reign of King Rama IV. King Rama V ordered the production of Pod Duang with the Chakra Phra Kiew mark as a memento in commemoration of the Royal Cremation of his youngest daughter, Princess Charoen Kamol Suksawat, and as a memento of the Royal Merit Making Ceremony dedicated to Somdej Phra Thep Sirin Tara Mataya, the Princess Mother.
Rama V later ordered coins from a Parisian coin production facility, coins bearing the royal portrait. and Airapo, the three-headed white elephant. Rama V however died before an announcement for use could be made, so Rama VI ordered distribution of the coins during the Royal Cremation of his father. These coins sre generally called Rien Nuad' or Moustache Coins.
Reign of King Rama VI to VIII[edit]
During the reigns of King Rama VI to VIII, Siam faced economic crises due to the worldwide economic downturn caused by world wars and depressions.
During the early reign of King Rama VI, money coins that had been produced during the reign of King Rama V continued to circulate. Rama VI ordered for the first time the production of Baht coins with the portrait of the king on the obverse, with these first coins having on the reverse Airavata, the three-headed white elephant.
Rama VI officially inaugurated the Thai Banknotes Department under the Ministry of Finance with the Siamese Currency Notes Act, R.E. 121, promulgated on June 24, 1902.[2] Banknote Series 1 were printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company Limited, England, with the company name centered on the bottom margin. The notes were printed on one side only and in many types of 7 denominations of 1 Baht, 5 Baht, 10 Baht, 20 Baht, 50 Baht (Overprinted on 1 Baht Banknotes Series 50Z-59Z), 100 Baht and 1000 ticals[sic] with both arabic and Thai numerals.[3] (Dual numeration continues, but tical was dropped from Series 2 on.)
Series 2 banknotes first issued in 1925 during the reign of Rama VI and continuing into the reign of Rama VII dropped translation of baht and first added the legend,
สัญญาจะจ่ายเงินให้แก่ผู้นำบัตรนี้มาขึ้นเป็นเงินตราสยาม Promise to pay (silver to) bearer on demand in (silver) currency of Siam;
later changed in 1928 to be in line with The Currency Act, B.E. 2471 [4] to
ธนบัตรเป็นเงินที่ชำระหนี้ได้ตามกฎหมาย This note is legal tender (lit. silver in payment of debt) according to law.
The front has a guilloche design with twelve rays, and the back, depictions of the Royal Ploughing Ceremony, printed in 6 denominations — 1, 5, 10, 20,100 and 1000 baht — in two types printed by De La Rue.[5]
Series 3 banknotes first issued in 1934 were the first having a portrait of the King, appearing on the front with scenic designs as minor elements. The reverse depicts Phra Samut Chedi Temple with a statement of the penalty for counterfeit, also used for the first time. Series 3 continued until the reign of Rama VIII, printed by De La Rue in 4 denominations including 1, 5, 10 and 20 Baht with the change of the royal portrait from King Rama VII to King Rama VIII in 1936.[6]
Series 4 banknotes first issued in 1938 by De La Rue with 5 denominations including 1 Baht, 5 Baht, 10 Baht, 20 Baht, and 1,000 Baht. The second type has been issued in 1940 with the change from รัฐบาลสยาม (Government of Siam) to รัฐบาลไทย (Government of Thailand) due to the change of country name on 10 December 1939 which applied to 4 denominations including 1 Baht, 5 Baht, 10 Baht, and 1,000 Baht.
To alleviate a scarcity of banknotes in the country during the Greater East Asia War, the Royal Thai Survey Department printed a special series of banknotes in 4 denominations, 1, 10, 20 and 100, like those of the 4th series ordered from De La Rue. The phrase "the Royal Thai Survey" at the lower center of the front and back replaced that of Thomas De La Rue & Co., London.[7][8]
Series 5 were printed by the Note Printing Works of Japan in 7 denominations including 50 Satang, 1 Baht, 5 Baht, 10 Baht, 20 Baht, 100 Baht and 1,000 Baht starting in 1942.[9]
Series 6 were by the Royal Thai Survey Department and the Naval Hydrographic Department in 2 denominations including 20 and 100 Baht, each with two types.[10]
A special war-time issue was printed in England, Indonesia, and by the Royal Thai Survey Department in 4 denominations including 50 Satang (over-stamped on 10 Baht banknotes printed from Java), 1 Baht (both from Royal Thai Survey Department and invasion notes issued in England), 50 Baht (overprinted on the 1 Strait Dollar notes issued for 4 Malayu States by Royal Thai Survey Department) and 1,000 Baht issued by Royal Thai Survey Department.[11]
Series 7 was printed in haste by private printing companies under supervision from Bank of Thailand of barely satisfactory quality in 4 denominations including 1 Baht, 5 Baht, 10 Baht and 50 Baht[12]
Reign of King Rama IX[edit]
In 1945, the government tried to renew contract with Thomas De La Rue & Company Limited, England, but the company had been damaged during the war and was unable to accept these orders. The U.S. government was asked for assistance. The U.S. assigned the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to prepare the printing plates and the Tudor Press company do the actual printing of the 8th series. The front portrayed King Rama VIII at a young age as main element, and the Phra Pathom Chedi as minor element in every denomination. On the back of all 5 denominations was the constitution placed on a pedestal tray. The dimensions of low and middle denominations including 1 Baht, 5 Baht, and 10 Baht were the same as the low denomination of MPC while the dimensions of high denomination including 20 Baht and 100 Baht will be the same dimension as US Dollar (high denomination of MPC). These were issued in 1946 during the reign of King Rama IX. They had been ordered in the period of the King Rama VIII but had been shifted as Rama IX had already ascended the throne.[13] Series 9 printed by De La Rue in 6 denominations returned to the familiar colors of each type and denomination model from Series 4 of De La Rue and Series 4 of Royal Thai Survey with the exception of 100 Baht which used red color instead of the azure color from Series 4 of Royal Thai Survey, and it can be assumed that the colors of the 9th Series are the standard for current Thai banknotes.[14] The 100-Baht banknotes of Series 9 were heavily counterfeited, so the multi-color banknotes with the base color of red were in need. Series 10 consisted of only 100 Baht denomination printed by De La Rue, first issued in 1968.[15] Series 11 began with 5 and 10 Baht notes issued in 1969, 20 Baht notes in 1971, and 100 Baht notes in 1972. 500 Baht banknotes were printed for the first time In 1975 when the whole production process, designing, engraving, and issue of notes shifted to Thailand's own Note Printing Works.[16]
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej ascended the throne on 9 June 1946, counting from ascending the Throne to the present, it has now been over 60 years and the longest reign of any monarch of the Kingdom of Siam. This is an era when society and the economy rapidly changed, accompanied by evolution of knowledge and technology in all areas, including that of coins, which have continuously been developed and modified in design and metal content in order to comply with the rapidly expanding economy, and to be within international standards.
In 1950, the first series of circulation coins was minted in aluminum bronze and copper in 4 denominations; 5, 10, 25 and 50 Satang coins with the obverse design being King Bhumibol's portrait and the reverse design being the coat of arms that had been used during the reign of King Rama V.
In 1986, the changes had been generally partial and made on certain values of coins only, following a comprehensive major revision of coin production in denomination, composition, size and pattern, they included and addition of 1 Satang and 10 Baht coins.Then, the government produced the complete series of 8 types of coins 10 Baht, 5 Baht, 1 Baht, 50 Satang, 25 Satang, 10 Satang, 5 Satang and 1 Satang. In 2005, 2 Baht coins were minted and made the Thai circulation coins consist of 9 denominations. Only 25 Satang up to 10 Baht are used in circulation while the 1, 5 and 10 Satang are minted to serve the accounting system.
During this reign, a large number of coins has been issued. The first commemorative coin was minted in 1961 with the nickel 1 Baht coin to mark the return of Their Majesties from their state visits abroad. It is the first coin featuring the portrait of a female royal family member.
Banknote Series 12 was The Great Series in denominations of 10 Baht notes in 1980 until the termination of 10 Baht banknote issuing after 1995 to be replaced by 10 Baht coins which has been issued since 1988, 20 Baht notes in 1981 and 100 Baht notes in 1978 with engravings of monuments for those monarchs entitled "The Great.[17]"
In 1982, the first proof coin was minted to commemorate the bicentenary of Bangkok. The coins were presented to the King and the Royal family without being issued for the general public. It was not until the 50th Anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit on the 12th August of the same year that proof coin were released for the public.
Banknote Series 13 was to supposed issued to commemorate the Bicentennial Celebration of Bangkok in 1982 but the delay for the delivery of the new printing machines along with heavy workload of the Ban has caused the issue for the denominations of 50 Baht notes to be issued in 1985, 500 Baht notes in 1987 with engravings of monuments for the monarchs relating to Rattanakosin Celebration including King Prajadhipok and King Rama I.[18]"
The growing economic of Thailand has caused the great demands for higher denomination. This has caused the revival of 1000 Baht notes in 1992 as a part of Series 14 banknotes along with the new notes in 100 Baht denomination issued in 1994 and the new notes in 500 Baht denomination issued in 1996 [19]"
21st century[edit]
The demands for new anti-counterfeiting technology, along with the aim by Thai government to draw the public attention to the benevolent deeds of the monarchs of the Chakri Dynasty in their contribution to the development of agriculture, science religion and finance has compelled Bank of Thailand to issue the Series 15 Banknotes in five denominations 20 Baht in 2003, 50 Baht in polymer sheets in 1997 before being replaced by the familiar paper notes (type 2) in 2004 due to the unpopularity of polymer notes, 100 Baht in 2004 until the replacement with type 2 in 2005, 500 Baht in 2001 and 1000 Baht in 1999 until the replacement with type 2 in 2005.[20]"
- 2006. To celebrate the 60th year of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne, the Treasury Department issued color coin for the first time to mark "The First UNDP Human Development Lifetime Achievement Award" presented to His Majesty the King by the United Nations. Apart from commemorative coins minted to mark special events and occasions, the Treasury Department also produces commemorative coins in cooperation with international organizations as well.
- 2012. Series 16 banknotes issued to glorify Thai kings of different periods from past to present[21]"
- 50 Baht issued to commemorate the declaration of independence of King Naresuan.[22]"
- 2013 April 1. 20 Baht Series 16 issued to commemorate King Ramkhamhaeng.[23]"
- 500 Baht Series 16 issued to commemorate King Rama I.[24]"
- 100 Baht Series 16 issued to commemorate King Taksin.[25]"

I wasnt absent from work I was still working doing light duty an drawing WC
If you were still working full time and not absent from work, then FMLA would not apply. FMLA only applies to absences from work.
was working 24 hrs weekly does FMLA still have to be taken as i was on Work Comp
If you had been working 40 hours and then went to a reduced schedule of 24, then you had 16 hours of absence each that would be FMLA protected. The fact that you were on WC would have no impact on the FMLA analysis.

Cory Booker vs. Ryan Gosling: Who's the Greater Hero?
When I heard that Newark (N.J.) Mayor Cory Booker saved a woman from a burning building last night, I immediately thought of Ryan Gosling. Granted, I do that a lot—while styling my hair, while drinking alone in my apartment, on Thursdays—but the whole rescue-your-neighbor-whose-house-just-caught-on-fire thing just sounds like something Gosling would do. After all, the actor has already broken up a street fight and saved a journalist from being hit by a New York City taxi. But he hasn't risked his life for anyone the way Cory Booker has. I found myself thinking, who would I rather be rescued by? The answer depends on the type of emergency I'm experiencing.
Scenario One: I'm on a sinking ship
Cory Booker. As a politician, he can quickly and easily contact someone who will send the U.S. Coast Guard to come get me. Ryan Gosling wouldn't be good for anything except reenacting scenes from Titanic.
Scenario Two: I've been robbed
Ryan Gosling. In 2011, he broke up a fight on a Manhattan street between two men who were arguing because one had stolen the other's painting. Apparently the thief had long admired the victim's artwork. "He's getting his ass kicked by his hero," Gosling explained in a later interview, "and then the guy from The Notebook shows up and makes it weirder." After he'd stopped the fight, he paid for the stolen painting. So if I ever get robbed, maybe Ryan Gosling will buy me a new iPod.
Scenario Three: I'm haunted by ghosts
Ryan Gosling, obviously. He was once in Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark?, which means he has experience with stuff like this.
Scenario Four: I'm trapped under something heavy
Cory Booker. During a December 2010 blizzard, Booker responded directly to snowbound constituents' needs as they were tweeted to him. "Will get someone to your mom's street, tell her to stay put," he told one person on Twitter. "I just dug out [your] car," he said to another. That's right: Booker and his staff actually went out into the streets and shoveled snow themselves. So if I ever find myself trapped under a log, I can just tweet @CoryBooker and he'll probably come remove it.
Scenario Five: I've been kidnapped by a madman who threatens to kill everyone I love, one at a time, in terrible and gruesome ways, unless I can correctly solve the New York Times crossword puzzle
Cory Booker. He was a Rhodes scholar. Ryan Gosling just looks pretty.
Scenario Six: I'm being attacked by a bear
Neither. Ryan Gosling is a spokesperson for PETA, so he wouldn't do anything to the bear except hug it. And as far as facing bear attacks is concerned, Cory Booker simply doesn't have enough experience. Instead, I'd turn to Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, who was chased by four bears this week while attempting to rescue his bird feeder.

As an ambassador for wellbeing, Will Stein doesn't disappoint. The husband and father is the living, breathing embodiment of everything Philip Stein stands for - balance and equilibrium for better health and wellbeing. In Will's world, wellbeing isn't a gimmick to sell products – it's an authentic way of life. A finely-tuned concept, tested over time. Below, he talks us through a typical day, allowing us a rare insight into the man behind the brand.
My day starts at 7am. I rarely use an alarm clock, unless I have an early flight, even then my inner clock sometimes wakes me up on time. After getting up, I do resistance training for 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of yoga using an app. Exercising first thing makes me feel limber and energetic, so I try and do it at least three times a week.
7.45 am
For breakfast I'll drink water to rehydrate, then make a green smoothie with spinach, celery, apple and lemon. When traveling, I substitute this with an alkalizing green powder mixed into water. During breakfast I respond to any urgent emails then shower, get dressed and slip on my Philip Stein wristwatch, which balances my energy for the day ahead.
I drive to work in the small lake community of Kilchberg, ten minutes from downtown Zurich. It's a beautiful place and I love being in nature. The lake is a short walk from home with the mountains in the distance. Once at the office, I'm busy with meetings, calls and brainstorming.
As we live nearby, my wife and I head home for lunch. We'll have salad and quinoa, sometimes fish or pasta and occasionally, good multigrain bread from our local bakery. I became fully vegetarian when I was 26, so my diet predominantly consists of fresh, organic vegetables and occasionally, some fish. After lunch, I rest for 15 minutes with a green tea.
The afternoon is spent back in the office with meetings and emails, or catching up with international clients on Skype.
We arrive home and prepare dinner - either fish or veggie burgers, rice or quinoa, always with different vegetables. Occasionally we'll have pizza or spring rolls.
After dinner, I spend time with my son, talking to him about his day and discussing any issues he might have. It's my time to focus on being a father.
I'm back on my laptop catching up on business until about midnight. As we're an international brand I need to be available across various time zones.
Most nights I'm in bed by 12.30am. I use my sleep bracelet to help me drift into a deep, uninterrupted sleep. The next morning I wake up feeling refreshed, ready to start all over again.

New Year's Eve Party Horn Only Works If You've Had A Few Drinks
The classic noise maker turns into a breathalizer of sorts, only working if it detects alcohol.
When the ball drops at midnight on New Years Eve, many party goers ring it in with a kiss, throwing confetti, or blowing on a party horn. But this creative spin on the classic party horn by Tyler DeAngelo & Sacha De'Angeli of Havas Worldwide Chicago will only work if you've had a few drinks. The 'Buzzed Buzzer' is a hacked noise maker that replaces the regular horn with an Arduino, alcohol sensor, and buzzer that activates with the presence of alcohol. When a person blows into the horn, the code looks for the presence of alcohol on the user's breath; if the sensor sees a spike, the horn will make a noise. If the user hasn't had enough to drink, the buzzer won't make a sound.
Instructions on the site show anyone how to make their own Buzzed Buzzer; PSFK spoke to Tyler DeAngelo about making your own 'Buzzed Buzzer' and how much you really have to drink to activate the horn:
For someone is who pretty good with a soldering iron it shouldn't take too long to make one. Maybe a couple hours. I provide all of the code and [the] parts list right on the site. It would cost about $30. Depending on how you tweak the code I provide you can really adjust how much alcohol it takes to set if off. It's a lot of fun to play around with. It actually becomes increasingly fun the more you test it…
Watch the video below to see how the Buzzed Buzzer works and start planning to make your own for a fun New Years Eve:

San fransisco or bust!
I am traveling to San Fransisco two weekends from now for a cousins wedding with my Dad. I think my Dad and I have a pretty good plan so far, however its always nice to hear other peoples opinions.
The plan:
Wake up early sunday moring. Ride BART from Walnut creek (where we are staying), go to Downtown SF, Take pictures, visit the pier, go to AFA, go to chinatown, and then go to a SF giants game (Thanks to my Uncle :) ) Since it is a 1:00pm game, it should be over fairly early, just enough time to see some more sights, then coming back.
Its going to be more of a "lets go here!" when we see it, instead of planning it all out. But I don't know all the good places to go see, so...What should I see?
ummmm...... go to the golden gate bridge. maybe go to coit tower. if you have time, alcatraz um... i cant think of anything else.
AFA opens at noon on Sunday.....
1. International Spy Shop
2. Washington Bakery & Restaurant (Chinatown)
3. Any LFS you can google!
Don't miss the Golden Gate Park. Lot's of picturesque scapes there for taking pictures along with some prime locations to visit for all tourist.
As far as fish shops... not sure if you'll be limited on time for only one day or what but you should def check out Ocean Aquarium and AFA.
If you can buy fish, then go check out Ocean Aquarium
too many places to see...the Conservatory of Flowers, the Academy of Sciences, Exploratorium, de Young, etc.
you'll have trouble picking which to go to is all i know for sure.
but definitely go to AT&T Park. nothing else like it. there's magic inside.
oh yeah.. go on a cable car....
i've never been on a cable car myself.. or a Giants game at ATT park.. or alcatraz. =x
Golden Gate Park, very nice place. Huge. I ran cross country back in the days there. Lost a shoe during a race and still kept going. Will never forget that place.
Not sure how the weather will be when you arrive there, as long as it doesn't pour rain too much, it's nice up there.
Albany Aquarium! You can take BART to El Cerrito Plaza and it's only about a 10 minute walk. It's out of the way, but definitely worth it.
Also, definitely take a ride or two on the cable cars if you have time... lots of fun and it's a great way to see the city!
Golden Gate if the fog allows. You are at it's mercy!
Downtown is like most city downtowns for the most part. Lot of the same big name stores.
China Town is a pretty quick excursion. You can absolutely get the feel after an hour or so..
Coir Tower is my favorite. Worth a look. Keep an eye out for the cherry headed conures (the parrots of Telegraph Hill). If you can't see them you will surely hear them.
Fisherman's Wharf is a touristy snooze. If the sea lions aren't there, it isn' worth the time with so much else to do.
AFA is a don't miss no brainer. Lots to see there. Easy to bring home a souvenir.
If you were older there are quite a few beer bars and places to eat I could recommend.
Don't forget Japan town! Definitely better in my opinion. Much cleaner, shops are nicer, plus there's a bonsai store where you can buy cheap seiryu :flick:
And ahaha, I hope you're getting up stupidly early to do all this before 1pm. The BART ride from Walnut Creek to SF is almost an hour alone.
to get to the ballpark they'll also need to take Muni or walk for about 30 minutes. and that's assuming they get out at Embarcadero BART and leave right away.

Compassion Games International offers fun and creative ways to ignite and catalyze compassionate action in communities around the world. In the five annual Compassion Games, competition becomes coopetition as teams and individuals challenge one another to strive together to make our planet a better place to live through community service, acts of kindness, and raising monies for local causes. The Games amplify what is already working in our communities and inspires increased engagement, leading to new activities that bring compassion to life and improve our well-being.
The Compassion Games adapt creatively to any community who wants to embrace and play them. Over the past five years, the Games have mobilized nearly 500,000 volunteers that have served over 5,400,000 people in 40 countries. Watch and share this short video to get a summarized overview:

Players and Teams use the Compassion Report Map to share their stories and experiences, reflecting on the impact and measuring the results of their compassion. Measures are displayed on a Coopetition Scoreboard and include the number of volunteers, the hours of service, monies raised for local causes, and number of people served. By reading and sharing players' reports and stories, we uplift ourselves and connect to each other through our acts of kindness and compassion.
The following six impacts offer a way to appreciate and anticipate the benefits of participation in the Compassion Games:
The Compassion Games reframe play and competition by turning "competitive altruism" and "friendly-competition" into "coopetition" amongst and between different teams to create excitement and motivate interest in participating.
The Compassion Games can strengthen and amplify what is already working in a community. Weaving together existing events and activities from different groups and organizations catalyzes a shared collective impact. The Compassion Games also inspires new events and activities that build upon existing efforts.
The Compassion Games measure community service through the number of volunteers, hours of service, monies raised for local causes, and numbers of people served. Results create a baseline for building a team's compassion impact and value over time, strengthening our individual and collective "compassion muscles.".
The Compassion Games offer a means for engagement and reflection which transfers the experiences from the Games to the real world. Composing and sharing Compassion Reports that include these reflections helps players build the skills needed to act more effectively and compassionately with ourselves and our communities.
The Compassion Games offer an open-source, "Do-It-Ourselves" creative platform. The Games tap into a growing capacity and desire to engage with compassion in ways that go beyond theory and passive consumption. The Games are open, participatory, peer-driven, and a thriving example of open-source collaboration.
The Compassion Games are a part of an international compassion movement that inspires participation in something greater than oneself. The Compassion Games help us to understand, connect, and learn from each other while co-creating a global culture of kindness.
Over the past five years, the Compassion Games have been played in over 40 countries by more than 490,000 players who have served over 5.4 million people. Past teams have included community groups, faith congregations, schools, families, government agencies, businesses, and even inmates in women's prison! Check out the 2016 Global Unity Games Summary Results and Highlights here, or consider reading how the Games were brought into Roybal High School to empower a gang-affected community.
Compassion Relays illuminate outstanding organizations and individuals around the world (known as Champions of Compassion) whose work is contributing to a more peaceful, just, and compassionate planet. Compassion Relays represent a chain of goodwill that allow us to collectively highlight the work of others while being honored in return! Learn more here.

Racers are lone wolves out for their own glory; driving agile cars built for high speed racing and epic chases. Cops work in teams to hunt down and bust racers using the full power of the police force. Intense racing moments are made even more thrilling with access to upgradeable pursuit technology customized to each side. Racers use this technology to evade cops – using tech such as turbo bursts, jammers and electromagnetic pulses. Cops will be armed for aggressive busts, deploying shockwaves, jammers, and calling in police roadblocks or helicopter support. Each side has a different set of supercars, technology, tasks and career milestones. Switch sides whenever you want to get that car you need, the tech you want, and the role you crave in a progression system that is different for each side.

text: LAS VEGAS, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary showman Jeff Beacher, creator and host of Beacher's Madhouse, will make a triumphant return to Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino beginning December 2013. With the energy of a circus and the atmosphere of an A-list Hollywood party, the world's most outrageously sexy and over-the-top Vaudeville-inspired show will reach new heights of madness. Beacher, who Rolling Stone magazine declared the "Best Showman on the Strip," is best known for his ability to push the boundaries of sexuality, entertainment and fantasy. "Expect the unexpected. I'm going to take the Madhouse and live entertainment to new levels with never-before-seen acts. And there's no better place to do this than at the famed MGM Grand," said Beacher. Guests will be taken on a sensory journey into the unconventional world of Beacher's Madhouse from the moment they first enter the 8,500-square-foot performance theatre. To join the madness, experience seekers enter the theatre through an inconspicuous speakeasy-like passageway hidden behind a library bookcase, and travel through a tunnel leading them from their ordinary existence into a fantasy-filled realm filled with world-renowned spectacles and all-new dramatic performances. Known for stretching the boundaries of imagination, Beacher's Madhouse is the stomping ground for Hollywood's elite. Guests have included Johnny Depp, Fergie and Josh Duhamel, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian, David Beckham, Kelly Osbourne, Selena Gomez, Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Moore, Ryan Seacrest, Jamie Foxx, Justin Bieber, Eva Longoria, Zac Efron, Mila Kunis, Kevin Spacey, Gerard Butler, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher and Vanessa Hudgens, among countless others. Scott Sibella, MGM Grand's President and COO, said, "Beacher's Madhouse is one of the most outrageous and entertaining shows we could ever deliver to our guests. Beacher's motley crew of characters is unique and will give our guests an opportunity to see a show unlike anything they've ever experienced." The Rat-pack-like ambiance of the theatre will include 15 stages throughout the venue in addition to the one main stage. Shows will be held six nights a week – Tuesday through Sunday beginning at 8:00 p.m. – in addition to late night productions Thursday through Sunday at 10:30 p.m. Previews will begin in December followed by a grand opening extravaganza set for New Year's Eve.

PITTSBURGH -- Yusmeiro Petit wasn't upset that he came close to a no-hitter, yielding a lone single in the eighth inning. After all, his second consecutive win after almost a year of losing helped solidify his spot in the Arizona Diamondbacks' rotation.
Petit combined with Leonel Rosales on a one-hitter, and the Diamondbacks beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Tuesday night.
"There's no disappointment at all," Petit said through translator Miguel Montero about losing the no-hitter. "I felt good because it's a good game. Unfortunately, I give up the single but I still feel good about the start."
Petit (2-5), who snapped a seven-game losing streak with his first victory in more than 11 months in his most recent start, walked three and struck out four in eight innings. The right-hander threw a season-high 108 pitches -- 74 for strikes -- in going longer than seven innings for the first time in his career.
"It's a natural when a pitcher has got a lead to go right after guys, and he was able to do it with multiple pitches," Arizona manager A.J. Hinch said. "He threw a little cutter, threw a little breaking ball, threw a little changeup. He wasn't just throwing fastballs down the middle; he was able to get guys to put the ball in play and get outs. That keeps a defense on its toes and it keeps the game flowing."
Fellow Venezuelan Ronny Cedeno lined a 76 mph changeup for a single to left after Ramon Vazquez led off the eighth with a walk, ending the quest for what would have been the second no-hitter in Diamondbacks history. Randy Johnson threw a perfect game May 18, 2004, at Atlanta.
"I didn't try to put too much pressure on myself in my last at-bat," Cedeno said. "I just wanted to put the ball in play.
"He threw a very good game today. One hit? I'm lucky."
Ryan Roberts went 4 for 5 with two home runs for Arizona, which has won five of six and is 17-10 since July 4, while Chris Young homered and Mark Reynolds had three hits and an RBI.
Arizona had won only two of Petit's previous 10 starts but he pitched six shutout innings against Philadelphia in his last outing, his first win since Aug. 23.
Petit, who said he didn't realize he was throwing a no-hitter until a fan yelled to remind him during the fifth inning, was 8-15 with a 5.76 in 59 appearances, 29 starts, in his career.
"The last few starts I feel like I'm part of the rotation now because I'm helping the team and pitching a lot better," Petit said.
The Pirates have lost three in a row and eight of 10. They have been shut out in their last three meetings with Arizona over the past 11 days. They have been shut out 13 times in all, most in the majors.
All three Arizona homers off Pirates starter Zach Duke went to left-center field -- the deepest part of PNC Park.
Roberts entered the game with three career homers over 82 games in four seasons with three teams. He hit a solo shot in the third and another with Stephen Drew aboard in the fourth, meaning three of his four homers this season have come against Duke.
"I would have loved to be part of [a no-hitter]," said Roberts, a second baseman who had three putouts and two assists. "Every ball that's hit to me, I want to make a play. I love to see people do that and be part of it."
Roberts' second homer came three batters after Young's two-run shot, his seventh, ended an 0-for-19 drought.
Duke (9-10) yielded five runs, nine hits and two walks in five innings, striking out one. It was only the third time this season he surrendered more than four earned runs in a game, the first since June 8.
"I left some pitches up, and they got hit hard," Duke said succinctly.
Pittsburgh has scored only 13 runs in his 10 losses.
"Obviously, their guy pitched a great game," Pirates manager John Russell said. "We were fortunate, I think, to get one hit.
"It was just one of those nights. Things didn't go well on the mound, and when you don't pitch very well, things like that tend to happen."
- Pittsburgh has been no-hit only five times since 1900 and not since 1971, when Bob Gibson of St. Louis did it at Three Rivers Stadium on Aug. 14, 1971. It has happened only twice since 1929.

'Soundtrack of Summer Tour' earns its stars
Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder, Foreigner and Styx delivered some of rock's best-loved anthems to a high-energy crowd of more than 4,600 fans at Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino on Thursday night, June 5 as "The Soundtrack of Summer Tour" rolled into town. Local favorite Brent James opened the show.
Fans lined up early, and several fans were walking around The Shoe with albums, hoping to get them signed by the bands. With such a stellar line-up of musicians and a countless mix of hit songs, the more than four-hour show brought with it a perfect summer night in so many ways – an enthusiastic crowd, the weather, and of course, some of the greatest songs in history by a handful of the most respected acts in the music business.
Tunes like Felder's opening "Life In the Fast Lane," and "One of These Nights" were immediately recognized by concertgoers after only a few notes. By the end of his set, it was no surprise that everyone was anxious to hear "Hotel California," as Felder invited Styx frontman Tommy Shaw onto the stage to join him for a duet.
Following Felder, Foreigner wasted no time getting to the hits as the band's vocalist, Kelly Hansen belted out "Double Vision" and climbed up to the top of one of the light rafters. One hit followed another with songs like "Head Games," "Cold as Ice," "Starrider," "Hot Blooded," "Urgent" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You." Another highlight was Mick Jones entrance onto the stage for an extended, live version of "Juke Box Hero," which resulted in a standing ovation and an electrified saxophone solo by Foreigner's Tom Gimbel. Foreigner closed out their portion of the show with "I Want To Know (What Love Is,)" as they were backed by a local choir.
At dusk, co-headliner Styx took over the stage with a colorful light show that was equally as magical as their hits. The fans were just as lively as measured by their cheers to the opening, "The Grand Illusion." As the band's set continued, Shaw, James (JY) Young and Ricky Phillips showcased triple guitar riffs on songs like "Too Much Time on My Hands," and "Fooling Yourself." The crowd continued to roar, and the band played more of their favorites – "Lady," "Renegade," "Blue Collar Man" and "Come Sail Away."
About a dozen dates into the tour, "The Soundtrack of Summer" more than lives up to its name. Just like those around me at the show, I loved every minute of the concert. I would highly recommend it to everyone, who appreciates classic rock's finest. From start to finish, with an all-star line-up, the concert brings a renewed energy to a collection of timeless classics.
Felder is slated to open each of the shows on the tour. Foreigner and Styx will interchange sets during the closing slots. "The Soundtrack of Summer Tour" kicked off mid-May and will run through late July.
