New Delhi, May 7 (UNI) Expressing concern at the recent phenomenon of Commercial Banks offering high interest rates in the closing months of the current fiscal, Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said the Indian Banks Association(IBA) was looking into the issue.
The remarks of the Finance Minister came during a Calling Attention Motion moved in the Lok Sabha by CPI veteran Gurudas Dasgupta on the need to increase the interest rates of small savings in Post Offices to bring these at par with Banks.
Members said Public Sector Banks (PSBs) attracted deposits at interest rates as high as 13 to 14 per cent in February and March last to get larger deposits, apparently in a bid to improve their figures for total business and improve their balance sheets.
Mr Chidambaram said the IBA has set up a Committee to look into the entire issue, which would soon submit its Report.
He said he had raised the subject during his last meeting with the CEOs of PSBs and had asked them to desist from such practices.
The Members said competition among Banks-- which was virtually like a bidding process-- had resulted in phenomenally high interest rates being offered by the Banks.
Mr Dasgupta, as also some others, argued that it was strange that while a depositor, mostly Corporates, got such high interest rates for putting their money in the Banks, the interest rate on small savings had remained where it was. Small savings schemes were instruments used by the poor and not so rich among the middle class, they said.

Collapsible Hot Tub Offers Up Portable Spa Experience
With the Nomad Collapsible Hot Tub, users don't have to give up luxury while adventuring in the outdoors
The modern day hot tub is an entertainment center- equipped with built in stereos, bright lights, and rotating jets. But while they're great for entertaining, all of the fun must stay within the confines of your backyard, or wherever the tub is planted.
A new fold-up hot tub is now letting users get the spa experience in other outdoor environments. The Nomad Collapsible Hot Tub is portable, vinyl-lined, and can hold up to 225 gallons of water. While the hot tub has a diameter of five feet and stands two feet tall, it folds down into a 15 inch X 15 inch cube that fits into a light duffle bag.
The collapsible hot tub is ideal for campers and other outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy their spa time, wherever they're at. The hot tub is priced at $550, and comes in three different colors: black, yellow, and red. This seems like a steal of a price, but if you want your water hot, a water heater coil can be purchased separately for $625 dollars (the two are also sold as a pack for $999). The coil can be heated using propane gas, natural gas, or firewood- so you can simultaneously roast s'mores and heat up the spa.
If not by a water source, the company recommends using the Honda WX10 to fill up the hot tub. Once filled, about 5 people can fit- giving you and you're friends an intimate time in the outdoors.
The Nomad Collapsible Hot Tub lets users relax in the wilderness with a bit of home-like luxury. There aren't any high-tech features attached, which is why it can be a key addition to any outdoor adventure.

May 13th, 2010 by Sausalito Dogpark
Hours of Operation
6:30am – 8pm
These times were designated by the City of Sausalito.
Park Rules
The park provides a safe and healthy environment for leash-free socialization and exercise of your dogs. Please help us to keep it that way by following these rules:
Three dogs per person limit.
No aggressive dogs. Any dogs – including unneutered dogs – that incite fighting must be removed.
Female dogs in heat are not allowed.
Children must be with an adult and are admitted at your own risk.
No unattended dogs. They will be impounded.
No unruly or aggressive dogs are allowed.
Food is discouraged.
Email Address
Mission Statement
Our Mission is to maintain, support and foster a leash-free, clean and protected dog park for exercise, socialization and education in Sausalito in partnership with the City of Sausalito's Department of Parks and Recreation.
Friends of Sausalito Dog Park is a non-profit organization of volunteers for the prevention of cruelty to animals under IRC Section 501 (c) (3) FEIN: 14-1843742
Park History
The Remington Dog Park was established in 1991 by long time Sausalito resident, Dianne Chute, in response to Sausalito's stringent leash laws, and the lack of places in Southern Marin where dogs could be exercised freely and off leash. She wanted to provide all dogs, in particular her loving golden retriever, Remington, with a clean, protected area for both dogs and owners.
The City of Sauslito's budget only provides water, electricity and waste removal at Remington Dog Park. All improvements, amenities and related maintenance costs have been and continue to be borne by local dog lovers, supporters, volunteers and users of the Dog Park.

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- Bolt-On Tech (EJ205 2.0L '02-05 WRX) (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/)
- - Exhaust Question Thingy (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/exhaust-question-thingy-462/)
Hiyas. The cat-back exhaust I wanted is finally out, but I've been looking turbo-back systems, and was wondering if it's possible to get the cat back that I wanted, and yet get the parts that a turbo back provide. I'm not even really sure what all the necessary parts are in an exhaust system. Also with uppipes, I've been noticing that most of them are catless. Aren't there any that have cats? x.x I still need to pass emissions. Ermm unless that passes emissions already? Anyway, help meee help meeeeee <turns into a bug on a spider web>
Which cat back are you planning on getting? I've read that most European and Japanese exhaust systems are interchangeable, but most US systems don't work well with parts from different vendors.
FYI: The way the WRX's exhaust is built is as follows. You start with the exhaust headers, uppipe, turbo, downpipe, midpipe, muffler.
If you are getting a catback its most likely just the muffler section. It'll give you the cool sound, but you'd need a downpipe and midpipe to really gain any performance.
The uppipes people are selling are catless because, having a cat before the turbo isn't very good for EGTs and turbo spool up. Removing the cat frees up the airflow to the turbo by a noticable amount.
Hope that all helps.
Oh and the emissions thing. Well if you only replace the muffler and uppipe you'd still have 2 cats on your car. That should be enough (but no guarantees). The small cat in the uppipe is only to reduce emissions at startup.
Thanks a lot for your help, Gerlando, I really appreciate it.  As for the cat-back I was going to get, it was the Tanabe R-Medallion. But after reading that, I'm just thinking about going with the MRT Turbo-back exhaust. Just emm, gotta get the money for it first. Heh-heh.  Thanks again.
Sounds like a good idea, and remember to get an uppipe while you're at it! I did my uppipe after doing my turbo back and you can feel a huge difference!

God is called Yahweh. What does this name mean? Should we call God Yahweh?Is YHWH Yahweh? YHWH is a Tetragrammaton or God's given name in the Old Testament but Bible scholars cannot agree on exactly how this name of God was or is to be pronounced. The Hebrew language does not contain vowels (e.g. e, I o, u, a) so that is why God's name appears as YHWH and that is why all the letters of His name are always capitalized since His name is a proper noun. When God revealed His name to Moses, H … [Read more...]

Newton's First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion, it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically, this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction, right? The reason we don't see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction is also the reason you can hold a book, and the reason why you don't slip when walking! The ground and other solid surfaces can cause friction, called dry friction, but fluids (liquids and gases) like water and air can also cause frictional forces, called fluid friction.
The equation for the force of friction is the following:
Ff =µ *FN
Where Ff is the force of friction, FN is the force normal to the object that is moving, and µ is the coefficient of friction.
The normal force of an object is the force that is perpendicular to the surface of the side of the object that is in contact with the surface that is causing the frictional force. For example, if you have a block moving horizontally on flat ground, the normal force points at a 90° angle out of the ground.
The unit for force is the Newton (named after Sir Isaac Newton), which is equal to 1 (kg)(m) / s2. The coefficient of friction, symbolized by the Greek letter µ ("mu"), is dimensionless, which means it has no units. Dimensionless numbers help scientists, mathematicians, and engineers compare the same characteristic in different objects. In essence, the coefficient of friction describes how easily one object can move over another. Your swimsuit against a water slide has a low coefficient of friction, and so do ice skate blades on ice. We think of these objects as slippery. The rubber of car wheels on the street has a higher coefficient of friction, which is why when there is no force applied the car eventually stops moving. And even higher coefficient of friction can be seen by a big boulder in nature, you can push and push but the coefficient of friction is so large and the normal force of the rock is so big that you might not be able to move the rock at all.
Observe friction in action and determine which surfaces and conditions create the least frictional forces.
- Lightweight cardboard box (like a shoebox)
- Balloon
- Scissors or a box cutter (ask an adult to help you!)
- Box of plastic drinking straws
- Tape measure or ruler
- Glue or clear scotch tape
- Notebook
- Pencil or pen
- Have an adult help you cut a small hole in one end of the cardboard box.
- Insert the balloon through the hole so that the head of the balloon is inside the box and the opening is outside.
- Blow up the balloon and twist the end closed, pinching it between your fingertips. Do not tie it off.
- While still pinching the balloon closed, set the balloon car on a flat countertop, table, or floor and mark the starting point.
- Let go of the balloon and measure the distance the box traveled.
- Repeat inflating the balloon to the same size, letting it go, and measuring the distance travelled on difference surfaces. Good surfaces to test are a carpet or a rug, concrete (like the sidewalk), and on dirt or grass.
- Go back to the first flat surface you tested, and lay out a row of parallel straws about 3 feet long.
- Inflate the balloon, mark the starting point, and set the balloon car on top of the straw runway.
- Release the balloon. Measure and record the distance travelled.
- Repeat Step 8 on the different surfaces you tried in Step 6.
- Glue or tape two straws along the length of the bottom of the box like a sleigh. Will this create more or less friction? Why?
- Inflate the balloon, mark the starting point, and release the balloon car across the surfaces you tested before.
- Inflate the balloon, mark the starting point, and release the balloon caracross the straw runway.
- Analyze your results! Which setup had the most friction? Which setup had the least friction?
Smooth, flat surfaces like wood floors or kitchen countertops will have small coefficients of friction when compared to rougher, more uneven surfaces like concrete, grass, and carpet.
Placing down smooth straws with the ability to roll along the ground will create much less friction and allow the balloon car to travel farther.
Adding "sleigh rails" to the bottom of the box will allow the balloon carto travel farther also.
It is important to measure to the same spot on the balloon car every time so you can reliably compare distance across different parts of the experiment. Comparing measurements from the starting point to the back of the box in one trial and to the front of the box in another trial would not be a meaningful comparison.
Smooth surfaces create the least amount of friction and are the easiest type of surfaces to travel on. Coefficients of friction, which are properties of a material, are lowest here. Putting the "sleigh rails" on the bottom of the box reduces the frictional force even more because there is a much smaller area of contact, which is means there is a smaller area upon which the frictional force is acting.
When you used the straw runway, you essentially created a simple machine with wheels. When you are trying to move the shoebox while it is on a flat surface, you are working against sliding friction. Wheels and round objects bring in a different kind of friction called rolling friction. The coefficient of rolling friction is much smaller and much easier to overcome than the coefficient of sliding friction.

Well I want to make my radio shack mini amp sounds bit staticky (typo i guess i dont know) but not a static burst just make it sounds like there is static.
if anyone can help me please do
Well I want to make my radio shack mini amp sounds bit staticky (typo i guess i dont know) but not a static burst just make it sounds like there is static.
if anyone can help me please do
Go to this site I think this will help you. C
Hyperdyne Labs - Electronics - Trooper Voice Amp
no no no no no, i want to make MY own amp sound staticy not buy an expensive one
Go to thier forum section and they can help you with this. C
You want to limit the bandwidth of your voice dude.
Cheap 16bit Analogue to Digital convertor then convert it back again with a Digital to Analogue converter. That should do the trick and make your voice sound awful.
Introduce a pink noise generator in there too and your laughing.
What you have to work out then is how to shut off the static when your voice isn't present. Otherwise you'll torture yourself. A comparator IC could be used there to toggle the pink noise on and off when your voice is beyond a certain threshold...?
I know you don't want to buy one but try this guy
John May, old CO of the UK Garrison. Hell of a nice chap and he's the chap who makes all the UKGs ROMFx boards. (which do what you want and beyond)
He may help you out of you asked him nicely?
Last edited by sl tk8456; Jan 19, 2007 at 5:58 AM.
So basically, to get the more "movie authentic" sound from your voice amp, it's probably best to buy the pricier Hyperdyne rig than using a Radio Shack model, which you'll have to add several more components to work correctly? If so, I'm glad I haven't purchased a cheaper amp yet...
Trik Toys, on the web and eBay sell a good sounding unit for around $40.00 with static burst
well all there's is, is a radishack mini amp modded, and i own a radio shack mini amp.
Anyone got the ROM/FX board? The text on it sounds too good to be true, in my opinion.... but if it is, totally worth it.
I have the ROM/FX Pro and it's excellent - I used it for my TK, TD and now my Fett and wouldn't want anything else - it's a great little board but I've upgraded with a Nokia car kit speaker as it's better than the one supplied and was only £3 on the bay of the E.
I also have the upload kit which allows me to change the onboard sound effects which also comes in handy!
I have a rom f/x but its not installed in my bucket yet. Anyone got any pics of how they got theirs set up inside their bucket?
If you want a CEAP one, go to Wal-Mart in the novelty toys area. They have one for $6 that does a monster effect, alien effect, and a plain voice amp, to do the "static burst" just do a ssst sound and it's works great. Your voice can be clearely understood, and it's CHEAP, who needs them $100+ voice amps, go walmart yay!

Halo 4 Launches for Xbox 360, to Compete with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It has been five years since "Halo 3" was released, and it looks as if "Halo" fans were more than ready for the successor
"Halo 4," which features the return of "Master Chief," was released today for Microsoft's Xbox 360.
The first-person shooter is the first game in a new trilogy of
the "Halo" series
. It takes place three years after "Halo 3" ended, and represents the return of the Master Chief as the protagonist.
It has been five years since "Halo 3" was released, and it looks as if "Halo" fans were more than ready for the successor.
"Because there hasn't been a game to star "Master Chief" for five years, there's a bit of a pent-up demand," said Ryan McCaffrey, Xbox Executive Editor at IGN.com.
"Halo 4's" plot is centralized around "Master Chief" and his ability to kill evil aliens while trying to save his AI friend, Cortana.
While the "Halo" series was on break, the "Call of Duty" series stepped in as the most popular games
on the Xbox
. Now, "Halo 4" will closely compete with "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2," which will be released next week on November 18.
Ahead of "Halo 4's" launch, Microsoft said this would be the best "Halo" yet.
"Fans worldwide will experience the biggest, most detailed 'Halo' universe yet," said Microsoft. "The game features more weapons, more enemies, more detailed animations and more ways to play with friends.
"One thing that hasn't changed is the hardware the game runs on, the Xbox 360. That was one of the challenges for the engineering team at 343 Industries (the new internal studio at Microsoft, helming the franchise): how to do more, not with less, but with the same hardware that's been around since 2005."
"Halo" was originally released in 2001. It has sold 46 million copies and generated $3 billion of revenue in the franchise since.
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced a
"Halo 4" bundle
, which contains a
Halo 4-themed console with blue and grey coloring and a custom controller that has blue LEDs as opposed to the usual green LEDs.
The bundle, which appears to include the special edition Halo 4 console, the Halo 4 game, and two controllers, was rumored to run around $399.99 while a stand-alone controller will cost $49.99.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Vehicles, tanks and weapons in the world of warhammer don't just appear in the battlefield as magic they were built in a certain place called the war factory. Not just in the world of warhammer but also in the real world. Vehicles and tanks are made in a war factory. If you have a war factory in your base or in your terrain it is easily for you to create or to have a vehicle that will coincide with the terrain. You can create tanks and weaponry that would best fit in a battlefield that will give you an advantage in the battle. Today, we are going to build one of those factories. Only this one's that we will be creating seen it's fair share of battle.
Materials List
foam board
Popsicle sticks
PVA glue (white glue)
utility knife
fine sand
acrylic black
codex gray
bestial brown
graveyard earth
skull white
Step 1 Outline entrances and windows
The first step we have to do is simply outline or draw in the foam board the doors and the windows. Where you want you doors and windows to be placed at. To give more variety and uniqueness to your project, try to vary the sizes of your windows. Try to add one or two doors on your factory a large door or a garage door.
Step 2 Cut entrances and windows out
After outlining the whole picture of your factory of what is going to look like. Its time to cut the doors and windows that you have drawn. Carefully cut out the windows and doors. By taking care and doing this slowly you allow for better and smoother cutting. By doing this kind of cutting you will ultimately end up with crisper edges which will give you a look ten times better that it should be.
Step 3 Adding extra detail
When you have already cut all the windows and doors that you have drawn. It is time to add some more detail for the exterior part of the factory building. You are going to place another strip of foam board along the second story roof level and along each side of the front entrance. In this way, you are giving the factory building more added variety on it's exterior part. You already know that giving more variety to your projects is very good.
Step 4 Adding floors
After you have added some extra details to the exterior part of your factory building and all your windows and doors are already been cut off. Its time to add the floors. In creating the floor, begin by slicing out channels for the Popsicle sticks where you want your floors to go. Then simply glue in the Popsicle sticks. The next step is glue on your floors. This also braces the walls together.
You can also stick temporary pins through the outside walls into the floors to hold them in place while the glue dries. This also works well when gluing two walls together

The Family Place understands that the transition to motherhood brings a mix of complex emotions. To help to make that transition as easy as possible, we provide a variety of services:
The Family Place employs a Board Certified Lactation Consultant who provides assistance and support daily to all breastfeeding mothers. Our team also consists of several Registered Nurses who are certified breast feeding support specialists. Evangelical Hospital also offers breast feeding classes.
While childbirth is a wonderful experience, we at The Family Place understand that moms experience discomfort during labor and delivery. There are several options available to help you cope with labor, including prepared childbirth methods, analgesics and epidurals. Each controls pain differently and may be appropriate at different times during labor and delivery.
Not all women want or need pain relief in labor. This is your personal choice.
In March 2008, Evangelical Community Hospital implemented the Hugs Infant Protection system, limiting access to The Family Place to one entrance just off Elevator B.
With the Hugs system, each infant wears a small tag with a unique ID number around the ankle. Each exit point of the unit, including stairwells and elevators, is electronically monitored to detect the tags. Parents and staff members may move the infant freely within The Family Place, but no one can remove the infant from the unit without the staff being alerted. Family and visitors to The Family Place will need to take Elevator B to the third floor and be "buzzed in" to the unit after being identified at the nurses' station.
Pregnancy may have been an unexpected event in your life. Many times it can occur at a time in your life when any number of difficulties are occurring. Evangelical's Social Services department provides information on financial, medical, nutritional, social and legal help available. If the mother desires, referrals to community organizations can be arranged for additional resources.
You can contact Evangelical's Social Services department at (570) 522-2586.

If you have Two riders on the same skill level but one rider was 140lbs and the Second rider was 190lbs. What do you think the ET. difference would be in the 1/4 mile????
roughly 2 tenths

It's the same bike on the same day... So,50lbs equal to about 3 tenths???
most racers say every 20-25 pounds equals a tenth so i would think 50 pounds is equal to 2 tenths.
I thought it was 10lbs= 1 tenth... Guess I was Off...
Team Madness weighs 30lbs less than me, I went 8.65 and he went 8.55 same bike track and day.

I would say 50lbs would be atleast 3 tenths..
My experience was 25lbs/ tenth. I was running 9.01 and put a buddy on my bike that was 100 lbs less and he went 8.61
I can also say the whole setup for chassis and clutch was wrong for a guy that was 100lbs less than me. He could have had more with clutch tuned for him
Rules of thumbs are for people who can't do math. 50lbs doesn't matter much on a 800hp machine, but a 60hp twin would have a massive difference.
Further, are we assuming the bike is deadly consistent and that the tune is adjusted for each rider, with both riding it exactly to the limits of what it's capable of doing?
Depends on the bike and HP

Haynesville: A Nation's Hunt for Energy
The BP oil spill has us all thinking about how much environmental devastation and social upheaval we're willing to risk for inexpensive energy. A few years ago, the 2,700 residents of Haynesville, Louisiana, had to ask themselves the same question. The largest natural gas shale in the United States - 28 billion barrels - was found beneath Haynesville, and oil companies were prepared to basically buy up the whole town. Documentary filmmaker Gregory Kallenberg spent months in this rural township to make Haynesville: A Nation's Hunt for Energy, which follows three people - a single mom/environmental crusader, a preacher hoping to build a school with oil profits and a rural landowner considering selling his property for millions - as they struggle with the decision before them. Filmmaker Kallenberg will be present at both todays and tomorrow's screenings of Haynesville and will be available for Q&A sessions. Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks, 1000 West Oaks Mall. 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. For more information, call 281-920-9268 or visit www.drafthouse.com. $15.

You are herecontent / Bush Backs Down From Encounter With Mrs. Sheehan
Bush Backs Down From Encounter With Mrs. Sheehan
by Bart Whiteman
The Chattanoogan
Cindy Sheehan is conducting a personal vigil at the end of the driveway to George W. Bush's sprawling 1,600-acre Texas residence. She wants an audience, and she wants it now, with George W. to ask him a few questions and to engage in a polite discussion about the cause and effect of his Iraq War. To date, George W. has been a no-show.
I am always puzzled by big tough guys who claim to want to teach all the bad guys of the world a lesson, but at the same time they shrink from a meeting with an unarmed, middle-aged woman sitting in the shade on a hot August day in a folding chair and wearing culottes. If this menace scares them so much, what would happen if they really had to go toe-to-toe with a very, very bad guy not so delicately dressed? George has avoided using the driveway since the vigil began. Fortunately, he has a personal helicopter to make trips to the drug store and to sign mega-bucks bills related to oil and transportation that are not likely to help the average consumer at all in the near future, but will put gobs of bucks in the hands of his corporate cronies in a hurry. Let's see, is there a tie between oil and transportation? Oh, I get it.
George can peer down at Mrs. Sheehan from the chopper and wish that she would go away.
So much for the average citizen's right to have a face-to-face with their elected officials. Once some people get elected in this country they start acting like they had some divine right to hold the position.
George W. can probably safely duck one woman for awhile, maybe forever. But what if another mother with a son killed in the Iraq War joins Cindy Sheehan? What if two join? Three? Four? Five? Six? What if some children whose fathers aren't coming back join the crowd? What if all the people in Iraq who have needlessly had family members killed by George's actions find a way to get to Texas? Crawford could start looking like a big city.
What if the father of an American daughter killed in Iraq joins the growing metropolis? George might consider moving to New Mexico.
So far, George's attempts to console the grieving have been about as lame as they come. It would appear that he has never suffered a moment of grief in his entire life, which may be true. The thin consolation he offers is becoming less palatable with each passing day. Fewer and fewer people are going to accept his sad testimony as a reason to just keep on going and add to the body count and add to the grief. He will have to offer more. He may even have to meet with all the Mrs. Sheehans at the end of his driveway. What a sacrifice he will have made.
Meanwhile, Bush is willing to meet with his dwindling crew of supporters to decide what to do next. Somehow, no one in his camp has had a quiet moment to sit with him during the past few years to say: "Look, George, forget about an exit strategy for the war. What about an exit strategy for yourself? You have walked into a boxed canyon. No one made you do it. You did it all by yourself.

Mr. Whiteman,
I just read your post and I am gratified for your insight. It is particularly gratifying to read such considered material and take it in stark contrast to the "anonymous" reactions of the supporters of the Bush administration.
Earlier this morning I replied to one of the Mr. X's who occasionally post venomous material on this site and I implored him to identify himself and I gave him my e-mail address - email@example.com - to make it easy for him to communicate with me to engage in further discussion. I've done that several times over the past two months on this site.
You are so accurate about Bush and his supporters. This group and their leader believe they know all and the rest of us who diagree with them are all wrong. I don't know about you but I see that a fascism.

Insulating Joists over concrete
Hello. I have a concrete porch slab that I will be putting an addition.
I will run 2x8 joists 1.5 inches above the concrete for a raised floor then insulate between the joists.
Should I put a poly barrier on the concrete?
Should I worry about anything else?
Insulating Joists over concrete
I would put poly (6-10 mil) over the concrete.
Use pressure treated wood and appropriate fasteners.
If you are in a heating climate, I would put a vapor retarder (poly)over the insulation before putting down a subfloor. Do not worry about the "double vapor barrier" since you will probably have some circulation in the 1.5" in gab between the concrete and the joists.
Just my opinion.
Do I need to add vents in the rim joists?
I dont think I need to use pressure treated if the joists are not touching the floor correct?
Insulating Joists over concrete
You don't have to use treated for the 1.5" if you are absolutely sure you will mot get moisture on top of the poly from the sides or around any nails. - Your call.
If you don't put poly down on the concrete, you will have to use treated for the 1.5".
Make sure you use the proper nails and attachments for anything nailed to the treated lumber.
Vents would not be necessary for such a small volume since wood construction leaks a lot of air anyway.
I'd worry that a porch floor wasn't engineered for this use. Can it support the added weight? Was it poured with the needed footings? Frostline issues?
I recomend the use of pressure treated ANYTIME something is outside. Even if its 10' in the air. In fact your local codes might require anything less than 30" above ground to be PT.

(Official press release Missouri Chris Kosters office)
Jefferson City, Mo. – Attorney General Chris Koster filed a lawsuit in Polk County against a real-estate developer for violations of Missouri's Clean Water Law.
The state alleges that the Department of Natural Resources informed the developer, Dewey Smith, that his proposal to build wastewater-treatment systems at the Deer Meadows Subdivision could endanger groundwater resources. Smith proceeded with construction without department approval, leaving several homeowners without an adequate wastewater-treatment option.
"Missourians have a right to expect sensible real-estate development that protects residents' health and safety," Koster said. "Our office won't look the other way when developers cut corners, endanger groundwater resources, and leave unsuspecting homeowners with the tab."
Koster is asking the court to issue an injunction requiring Smith to comply with the Missouri Clean Water Law, to assess civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day for each violation of the Missouri Clean Water Law, and to require Smith to pay all court costs.


text: The talks highlight how Maltese biodiversity is an invaluable heritage, which apart from its intrinsic values, offers other values, which are social, aesthetical, recreational, educational, scientific, cultural and ecological in nature. The talks will also equip employees working within the tourism industry to appreciate and share our hidden treasures with tourists. Mr George Schembri, Chief Executive of MHRA commented, "The MHRA fully supports the initiative being taken by MEPA. We are satisfied that several member hoteliers are participating together with MEPA and MTA in creating the necessary awareness through their employees to the real meaning of biodiversity, its interaction with tourism and its protection."Ms Christina Galea, Human Resource Director for Island Hotels Group noted "As a group we have always had a strong commitment towards Responsible Business and encourage our employees to participate in various activities throughout the year to support this. Talks like the ones organised by MEPA on Biodiversity are of great interest and also address the need for greater awareness on one of the many aspects of our environment. Awareness and education is the first step in encouraging all stakeholders to take responsibility and understand how each person can make a difference in improving and safeguarding our heritage be it historical, cultural or natural."Mr David Vella, Director of Human Resources at InterContinental Hotel said "As part of our approach to responsible business, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts believes it's our responsibility to get involved at grass roots level to protect and enhance the natural environment, heritage and communities our hotels reside in."

Rampant Games - Thoughts on DA vs MM1
View Single Post
December 10th, 2010, 16:53
Great reads. Particularly enjoyed it as I'm planning on playing both of those games, hopefully not too far in the future.
To me, the thing about story isn't too much or too little, but how compelling the characters are. If I have an emotional attachment (good or bad) with them, I want lots of story, if I don't, I get bored with the story. I think that is why I'm having a hard time with Ps:T. So far, none of the characters I've encountered have grabbed me. The talking skull is kind of funny, but that's about it.
Compare that to BG. Immediately I had that attachment with Gorian and Imoen.

This is our suggested pricing model. The copywriter quotes a simple, flat fee to cover all the elements of the copywriting job, taking into account all the factors listed below. Copywriter and client agree to revisit the fee if the work turns out to be different from the agreed scope.
Some copywriters may ask for 50% of the fee upfront, particularly when dealing with a new client.
Copywriting fees vary. In terms of the copywriter, factors that might affect the fee include:
In terms of the specific project, the key factors are:
In some situations, the converse of these factors may apply. For example, a copywriter might be able to offer lower rates once they are very familiar with a client's business, since less research or thinking time is needed.
If pricing by the job is not acceptable to the client, pricing by the hour or day is the next best option.
An hourly or daily rate may also form a useful 'rule of thumb' for copywriters preparing prices: gauge the likely time required, multiply by the hourly/daily rate and increase the total as required to cover any relevant factors listed above.
In addition, some clients or prospects like to use an hourly or daily rate as a rough price benchmark – even if it isn't used to price actual projects.
For most copywriting jobs, we strongly discourage pricing by the word, for the following reasons.

Differential tuition has been in practice at most institutions for many years. It is most common among professional schools (business, law and medicine). Differential tuition is a mechanism for paying different tuition for specific high-cost, high-demand programs. The College of Fine Arts at Western Michigan University adopted a differential tuition model in the fall of 2011. Students are assessed a per-credit-hour rate in addition to the applicable resident or non-resident tuition rate charged university wide. Below is a list of frequently asked questions regarding differential tuition.
Who will be affected?
The plan will affect every College of Fine Arts undergraduate pursuing any major in the Frostic School of Art, the Department of Dance, the School of Music and the Department of Theatre. The differential tuition rate will affect resident and non-resident students at every level of undergraduate study (freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors).
Are any other colleges at WMU implementing differential tuition?
The Haworth College of Business also adopted a differential tuition model for its juniors and seniors, effective in the fall of 2011.
What is the differential tuition funding used for?
Funding raised through the plan will stay in the college, with 75 percent of the funds used to directly ensure the totality of the student experience is of the highest quality. Under the plan, many course fees will be eliminated. Differential tuition incorporates all non-consumable course fees and reduces a significant number of fees. Course fees for consumable materials will continue.
If I am pursuing a double major at WMU, with one major in the College of Fine Arts and another in a college that does not assess a differential tuition rate, can I avoid the differential tuition charge?
No. Any undergraduate pursuing any major in a College of Fine Arts unit will be subject to the same differential tuition per-credit surcharge, regardless of whether or not majors in other colleges are also being pursued.
Will all courses be subject to differential tuition, or only those taken from a College of Fine Arts unit (art, dance, music and theatre)?
All classes/credits taken by a College of Fine Arts student will be subject to differential tuition.
Why did the College of Fine Arts decide to implement differential tuition?
The College of Fine Arts wants to maintain its commitment to high quality degree programs that attract high quality students. With costs increasing and state revenue decreasing, there is the danger of diluting quality. The college is one of only eight in the nation that has all of its programs professionally accredited. The College of Fine Arts boasts an outstanding faculty, expert staff, enviable facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, successful alumni and evidence of award-winning programs. Differential tuition will help to maintain that quality, and it will provide additional benefits for its students in the form of reduced course fees, enhanced financial aid and new professional development opportunities.
An education in the arts is an expensive endeavor. College of Fine Arts' course sizes are, for the most part, small. Studying the art forms requires intensive and individualized instruction by highly specialized faculty. Consequently, instructional expenses are very high. Most fine arts students are pursuing professional degree programs, such as the Bachelor of Fine Arts or the Bachelor of Music, wherein two-thirds to three-fourths of the degree is in the major courses.
How can differential tuition be beneficial to the College of Fine Arts and its students?
With most course fees being incorporated into the tuition differential, it will be easier for students and families to project actual expenses more accurately. Also, student financial aid can be calculated on the inclusive tuition costs which will include differential tuition. A third benefit is that more student financial aid will be available. For every new dollar of differential tuition, 25 cents will be set aside for need-based and merit-based scholarships. The most attractive benefits, however, are plans to help students take their next steps toward career development through professional development activities designed by the faculty in each unit.
What are the benefits of pursuing an art, dance, music or theatre major through WMU's College of Fine Arts?
The chance to study with faculty of national and international renown — professors who are professionally active, yet committed to undergraduate education. College of Fine Arts faculty serve as board members, editors, authors, composers, presidents, consultants, exhibitors, performers and grant recipients (NEH, NEA, Fulbright, Kress Foundation), to name a few.
- A favorable student/faculty ratio — WMU is 19:1 while the College of Fine Arts is 9:1. Fine arts students benefit from a high degree of personalized attention.
- Arts Village facilities — Instructional and public presentation spaces are the envy of the Midwest: Dalton Center (music and dance), Richmond Center for Visual Arts (art), Kohrman Hall (art), Gilmore Theatre Complex (theatre), Miller Auditorium (all) — performance halls, studios, exhibition spaces, laboratories and classrooms.
- Competitive and selective admission - College of Fine Arts students boast the highest entering GPAs and test scores of all WMU freshmen (3.53 average GPA, 24.5 average ACT composite), a high percentage of honors college students, many Medallion scholars and a student body with the highest retention rate make for an academically charged environment.
- Comprehensive programs of study in each unit:
- Frostic School of Art
- B.A. in art and art history; B.F.A. in art education, graphic design and art, with concentrations in ceramics, metals/jewelry, painting, photography/intermedia, printmaking, sculpture
- Department of Dance
- B.A. and B.F.A. in dance, with emphases in ballet, jazz and modern
- School of Music
- B.M. in music education, music therapy, performance, jazz studies, composition and B.A. in music
- Option of completing B.M./B.A. and M.A. within five years through accelerated degree path
- Department of Theatre
- B.F.A. in music theatre performance, theatre performance, design and technical production, stage management and B.A. in theatre studies
- Frostic School of Art
- Professionally accredited programs — WMU is the only university in Michigan to have all disciplines accredited, and one of only eight in the nation.
- Technology embedded in curriculum — Each unit supports its own computer lab with applications unique to the discipline.
- Extensive performance and exhibition opportunities — DeVries Gallery (dedicated to student shows), Western Dance Project, comprehensive ensemble offerings (bands, choirs, orchestra, instrumental and vocal jazz, early music, opera workshop, chamber groups) with extensive performance schedules both on and off campus, Mainstage Theatre Series, Multicultural Theatre Series, Footlight Series, and Stars & Moon Cabaret.
- Professional travel and touring opportunities — Support for students to participate in American College Dance Festival, American College Theatre Festival, Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York Showcase and Chicago Showcase advance career-readiness.
- Creative research/collaboration opportunities — Special initiatives that involve working with students and faculty in a variety of disciplines include the Great Works Dance Project, Kalamazoo Laptop Orchestra, Tectonic Theatre Project, NYC Professional Opportunity Program and more.

The 2014 World Cup organising committee has revealed that tickets for the event will be available for purchase in 2013. A "very complex operation" will put an estimated 3.3m tickets on the market in two years' time.
The news was part of a number of ticketing and pricing-related announcements made at a "round table" meeting last week.
Thierry Weil, marketing director at FIFA, explained the aim is to ensure that as many fans as possible from host nation Brazil will be able to attend matches.
"We believe a large proportion of tickets will go to Brazilians," he said.
"It's our aim to make it possible for anyone to attend matches, from wealthier fans to those with lower incomes."
Brazil is steeped in football history and was the birth place some of the sports' greatest players, such as Pele and Ronaldo.
Brazil has not hosted the World Cup since 1950. It was the first post-war World Cup and the first with the renamed Jules Rimet trophy. The tournament was won by Uruguay, and anyone following the Betfair betting will be expecting South American countries to do well in the 2014 World Cup.
Tickets for 2014 will be allocated using a lottery similar to the much-maligned system used by the 2012 Olympics. FIFA will provide small ticket offices in Brazil, to ensure that fans with no internet access will not miss out on the tournament. The governing body operated a similar system in South Africa, last year.
Hospitality chief, Jaime Byrom, claims that Brazil 2014 could be one of the most popular World Cups in history, with regard to ticket sales. "I can already say that the number of requests [for tickets] so far surpasses any previous World Cup."
Fans hoping to buy tickets should familiarise themselves with the FIFA.com website, which will provide the majority of booking services, over the next few years.
However, as anyone following the Euro 2012 betting will know, there is a major tournament to come between now and the 2014 World Cup.
Fans have already begun snapping up tickets for the tournament which will be held in Poland and Ukraine.

Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is derived from their having lived in the county of Chester, where they derived their name from the town of Bredbury. The town's name is derived from the Old English words bred or brade which means broad and byrig, the original form of burh, which means fort. Thus, the name denotes the dweller at the broad fort.
Bredbury Early Origins

Bredbury Spelling Variations
Bredbury Spelling Variations
One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Bredbury has appeared include Bradbury, Bradberry, Braidbury and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Bredbury arrived in North America very early: Ellinor Bradbury who settled in Maryland in 1682; with her husband Roger, three sons and two daughters; Thomas Bradbury settled in Maine in 1630; and another Thomas Bradbury settled in Boston in 1700..

About the IMRA Special Issue on Emerging Markets: Exploring the diversity of theories, practices, and applications: Emerging markets are diverse in terms of their economic measures, population, cultures, yet they tend to be grouped together by business and academic commentators and researchers. Further, small businesses tend to dominate with a majority of the populations being employed by micro and small enterprises. Further with large discrepancies between rich and poor with the latter making up the majority of the population, and poor infrastructures these countries are the source of 'resourceful' innovators and entrepreneurs. Innovative technologies such as mobile telephony and renewable energy sources are being adopted rapidly. This diversity and specific characteristics we believe need to be better understood particularly in terms of how organizations, managers, entrepreneurs are practicing management and how scholars based in these countries are developing new knowledge and theory. The special issue will aim to attract novel research papers to explore these distinctive features of emerging markets.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
If your son's bite was something that would spread or was very toxic (such as a brown recluse spider for example), he would have had worsening symptoms the first day. Most likely this is not healing because it has gotten infected.
To treat it at home: wash the area with warm soap and water, dry well. Apply an antibiotic cream you can get over-the-counter at your local pharmacy and rub this in well. Because he is young and probably puts his hands in his mouth all the time, you want to make sure it is fairly well absorbed. Then try to cover it with something. I think a bandaid he would probably pull off and try to eat it. So you might have to forego a covering and just treat it about 4 times per day. If you can keep it covered, you only need to clean it and apply the cream twice a day.
Use antibiotic cream, not ointment. The ointment will leave a film on top of his skin that he can lick off.
If you do not see improvement in a couple of days, you should take him to his pediatrician. Children are very prone to getting skin infections that get infected with bacteria, which could get worse and spread. The at-home treatment should work OK, but if not---make sure he gets to a doctor, especially if the area gets larger, develops redness around it, starts swelling, or more red spots appear around it.

Is Company Culture the Secret to Work-Life Balance?
8 Apr
Work-Life Balance Starts With Good Leadership
It's the employer's responsibility to set the stage regarding the business stance on work-life balance because the company culture begins with strong leadership, Josh Mendelsohn wrote for The Wall Street Journal. Building a good employer culture takes time and should be a frequent discussion between business leaders and human resource managers. Businesses that do not focus on their return on employee investment are likely to hit a plateau not because of the economy, but because they fail to create a sustainable employer culture, states Mendelsohn.
Before a company starts hiring, the human resource management team and other business leaders should sit down to develop an official plan to enact a formal work-life balance policy. Take the time to discuss the type of return on employee investment programs you as the employer believe will best benefit employees and help them succeed in the workplace.
Creative Work-Life Balance Policies
The first way to find out what sort of benefits would really help employees keep a better work-life balance is to ask them. As the human resource manager, make sure to emphasize that you and the employer are looking for real solutions to consider and help return on employee investment—hopefully workers will see the company is making that effort and try to come up with reasonable solutions, rather than unattainable dreams.
Some common work-life balance programs are now incorporating flexible work arrangements for their employees. The idea behind flexible work arrangements is that this type of work policy allows employees to make their own hours or schedule a compressed work week, which maintains work tasks, added the source. This type of policy gives some freedom to employees to make plans of action on their terms, with the permission or approval of the employer. These "part-time" schedules are alternative options to standard working hours.
Other employer work-life balance policies include the option to work from home or as a "mobile workforce." This type of program may enable workers to stay home a few days a week instead of commuting to the office every day, which can increase productivity and gives employees more time to get their work done since there is no interference of a commute time. Mobile workforce policies are springing up everywhere as more employers use this as part of their work culture. "Bring your own device" (BYOD) policies, or providing employees with company mobile technologies such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops helps workers stay connected with coworkers, managers, and the business if travel is a big part of the job description.
Managing the Work-Life Balance Policy Risks
Having a work-life policy or program in place comes with a certain amount of risk for any organization. A mobile workforce can make it difficult for human resources to manage and measure employee performance. According to Mendelsohn, employers need to have faith in their workers as new members join the company—building an acceptance and trust is the key to a successful work-life balance program, he wrote.
Human resource management system (HRMS) solutions can help HR personnel stay on top of employee management. These systems are useful tools for state and federal payroll compliance and can help HR managers navigate through the FMLA and ADA regulations in conjunction with the employer work-life balance policies.
