Please give them a visit on www.paellaworld.co.uk
Case Studies
Not many SEO companies will reveal current clients because they believe some other company will go in and undercut their price. Not the case with Pay On Results SEO we know nobody can match our transparency and client relationships.
We are currently ranking bfnnutrition.co.uk for "fat burners" which you can see is top of page 2 this has 10,000 searches per month on google so you can imagine the sales are going to be terrific once it is there by October.
Another example would be sigaassociates.co.uk for the keyword "mortgage advice Sheffield" this is top already…they didn't have to pay until it was on page 2 and within 3 weeks the site was number 1…bonus!

Explosive Stars with Good Table MannersMarch 21, 2012
Cambridge, MA - An exploding star known as a Type Ia supernova plays a key role in our understanding of the universe. Studies of Type Ia supernovae led to the discovery of dark energy, which garnered the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. Yet the cause of this variety of exploding star remains elusive.
All evidence points to a white dwarf that feeds off its companions star, gaining mass, growing unstable, and ultimately detonating. But does that white dwarf draw material from a Sun-like star, an evolved red giant star, or from a second white dwarf? Or is something more exotic going on? Clues can be collected by searching for "cosmic crumbs" left over from the white dwarf's last meal.
In two comprehensive studies of SN 2011fe - the closest Type Ia supernova in the past two decades - there is new evidence that indicates that the white dwarf progenitor was a particularly picky eater, leading scientists to conclude that the companion star was not likely to be a Sun-like star or an evolved giant.
"It's hard to understand how a white dwarf could eat itself to death while showing such good table manners," said Alicia Soderberg of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).
Soderberg and her colleagues examined SN 2011fe with a suite of instruments in wavelengths ranging from X-rays to radio. They saw no sign of stellar material recently devoured by the white dwarf. Instead, the explosion occurred in a remarkably clean environment.
"This white dwarf was a tidy eater," said Laura Chomiuk of the CfA, lead author of one of the two papers.
Additional studies using NASA's Swift satellite, which examined a large number of more distant Type Ia supernovae, appear to rule out giant stars as companions for the white-dwarf progenitors. Those results were described in a NASA press release.
Taken together, these studies suggest that Type Ia supernovae likely originate from a more exotic scenario, possibly the explosive merger of two white dwarfs.
"This is an exciting time in Type Ia supernova research since it brings us closer to solving one of the longest-standing mysteries in the life cycles of stars," said Raffaella Margutti of the CfA, lead author of the second paper.
The two papers on SN 2011fe are available online at http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.0994 and http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.0741.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is a joint collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. CfA scientists, organized into six research divisions, study the origin, evolution and ultimate fate of the universe.

Harza Building Sells, Reflects New Day For Utica
Tom Clark has purchased Genesee Street's Harza Building, officially vacant since 2004.
The clean windows outside are the first sign that the building has taken on a new owner, Clark says.
And from those windows is reflected the painting of the sun from across the street in nearby Liberty Park, symbolic perhaps of the dawn of a new era in Utica.
At a news conference Mayor Rob Palmieri added that it took a large number of people to put together the purchase. For months a team of city leaders has been putting the finishing touches on the deal.
Papers were signed today and, although some space may be used for the expansion of the Adirondack Bank, Clark says he's ready to start accepting calls from potential renters.

Siddharth was recently busy with the promotions of the upcoming movie made under the banner of UTV and now he took the time to watch the matches along with her girlfriend. The matches are scheduled to later this week. They will be watching the matches there and post the tournament, they will spend the quality time together in London. This is the much needed break for the two as both were busy a lot.

text: I have been trying to fine tune my choice in platforms as of late. The calibers I have come to like are 9 and 45, still deciding on wheel gun caliber. Kind of a struggle because there are many fine firearms manufacturers. I am not trying to be brand myopic, just trying to focus on 2-4 pistol platforms and becoming very proficient with them. In the polymer arena the two I have experience with are the Glock and M&P lines. I like them both and see the merits of both. This will probably be my biggest struggle. I have been thinking about the metal/alloy pistols as well. In 9mm I am trying to decide between CZ and SIG. .45ACP was the easy one, 1911 wins. Am I overthinking this? Comments are welcome.

School me on pneumatic tool overhaul
So I brought home a few old air polishers from work to play around with that have been collecting dust. They're some nice tools but they were neglected (not by me) and need parts. Chicago Pneumatic and Dotco stuff. Never needed to fix or overhaul air tools before.
My few questions...
What are some of the better places to buy parts? Paint shops and small power tool shops here and there are "authorized retailers", but if I can get away without paying their mark ups I'll be in better shape. A quick flick of the Google brought up ereplacementparts.com (anybody ever use them?) From what I've totaled up I'm looking at about $80-$120 in bearings and other pieces.
Bearings: It seems like that's the #1 part to go in these things. Non-stop use + minimal grease from the manufacturer takes its toll quick. I know here and there some tool manufacturers have their own grease to slap in their tools. Is there a specific grease that MUST be used in air tools or can I get away with say high temp wheel bearing grease? Automotive repair doesn't exactly always transfer to pneumatic tool repair.
Any other tips or tricks?

My friends Bella & Alexandria tagged me! They told me 7 things about themselves so I'll tell 7 things about myself. Then they tagged 7 pals and they were supposed to do the same. So I'll tag 7 pups.
1. When I go potty, I do a complete handstand so I don't get cold & wet from the grass.
2. Mommy taught me how to sing so whenever she comes home, I sit on the back of the chair & howl.
3. I run to Mommy to put my coat on me. Daddy don't do it right! hehe!
4. I love my squeaky little tennis ball! When it goes underneath the couch I have Mommy get the flashlight & the long shoehorn to get it for me. We have so much fun!
5. I sleep under the covers with Mommy. (even when it's warm outside)
6. I love to decorate the furniture & floor with my artistic paws...especialally during MUD season!
7. I also like to re-arrange my hidden treats from inside Mommy's shoes to inside the dirty clothesbasket or anywhere away from Buddy!
*Running off to tag these 7 pups!*
1. Missy
2. McGraw

5. Maximillion the Trickster
6. River
7. Princess Bella Mittens
On June 25th, 2005, my Mommy had to take her old dog of 17 1/2 years to the vet to put him to sleep. It was the hardest thing she's ever had to do!! SPOOK was not sick...he was just OLD & tired! His quality of life was gone...so she did what she had to do. (as a favor to him)
She brought him back home and buried him underneath her bedroom window so he would always be near! She told SPOOK "good night" when she went to bed that night and at the exact same time she said that...a firefly (lightning bug) flew on her bedroom screen window and lit up as if it were "SPOOK" saying "I'm OK now and things will be alright!"
She knew right then she was going to name her next dog (whenever she felt the time was right) FIREFLY or JUNEBUG...since it happened in June.
And that's how I got my name. Mommy had my name picked out 6 months before I was even born!! She hasn't had a female dog since the 60's, but in my case, she wanted a girl dog just so she could name her JUNEBUG. After hearing all the stories Mommy tells me about SPOOK, I think I have some pretty big shoes (paws) to fill!!
She never believed in that kind of stuff before until then, but she sure does now! SPOOK still gives her some sort of sign that he's still around watching over us, every now & then. And she still sees SPOOK in cloud formations. Silly?? Some people may even think it's kinda "SPOOKY"!
In memory of my namesake, "SPOOK" Nov. 1987-June 2005

I love this mat!! And so does my meyers parrot. He cannot go without a grate in the bottom of his cage, yet he spends a lot of time down there. So, I thought I'd buy this to put down there for him. He loves nesting on it, pooping on it, and tearing it to shreds. What bird could be happier? LOL

Bunny chomped the mat to shreds, as I had hoped. Good for relieving boredom while he is in his cage.

My poor bunny is too ill to make good use of the mat but he did manage to make it to the end of the cage to examine it and have a taste. Bunnies should like this item a lot!

Virtual Farmstands Offer Local Farmers' Market Products Online
By Gretel H. Schueller, "The Virtual Farmstand," March/April 2013
Find out how increasingly popular online farmstands combine the bounty of local farmers' markets with the convenience of online shopping.
A new crop of online farmstands is providing family farms and small-scale food vendors with an aggregated venue to sell their products online. With no membership requirements, minimum orders or commitments, these sites give you a way to get the best local farms and food artisans have to offer with just a few clicks of your mouse. You pay by credit card and your selection is delivered to your doorstep or a convenient pick-up location.
The websites are sprouting faster than spring peas. Former Wall Streeter Todd Greenfield has created the most ambitious to date, americasfarmstand.com, with nationwide farms and delivery. Greenfield spends two weeks of each month visiting and selecting the small family farms and artisans that appear on the site. Rob Spiro, a former software techie with Google, has built up Goodeggs.com, which brings Bay Area produce to some San Francisco neighborhoods and hopes to expand in the coming year. And in Vermont, Suzy Hodgson has cofounded yourfarmstand.com, which now supports more than 12 local markets in towns around that state and plans to expand across the country to any community that wants to start a market.
The convenience isn't just for consumers. "It's great for farmers too," notes Hodgson. "Manning a farmstand means at least six hours away from the field." If farmers have a bumper crop of tomatoes, the website offers them the flexibility to easily sell their extra produce. Plus, it's one more way to reach people.

Ca'n Vela Grand is an extensive historical property, brimming with calmness, luxury and privacy, with stately airs and proud denomination included in the Mallorcan properties colloquially known as "possessions".
This property consists of two buildings, both contiguous. Inside the principal construction, the sizable wide reception emphasized by the completely cobbled floor, offers a warm welcome to its inhabitants and sets a standard as it leads onto the delightful lounge and wine vault.
In the same building we find the unique and classic kitchen of epoch, the larder and, it could not be absent in the "possessions", the indispensable hearth, the large fireplace, a meeting area for families to warm by the embers in the soft Mallorcan winters. From here one gains access to a magnificent covered patio which leads directly to the turret. Separated from the rest of the aforementioned areas there is a welcoming presence of comfort as it offers a roomy bedroom and shower-room.
On the first floor in the main section we find the biggest and most important bedroom in the building, the master-suite with en suite bathroom, which continues onto a second auxiliary bedroom.
A room for free time and, just as in the present day as in ancient recreation: a beautiful billiard room takes pride of place; and not forgetting the most noble lounge, a place of rest and long chats during the dessert accompanied by the crackling of the fire from the hot cinders. Because children occupy an important place in the daily life of the "possessions", for them, a playroom. A bathroom serves these rooms on this floor.
Let's go on to mention the second yet just as relevant property.
On the ground floor we find a substantial guest kitchen also with fireplace and dining area, the laundry room and in an annex located to the east, a bathroom. Also on the same floor a toilet, bountiful lounge with fireplace and two double bedrooms.
The top level offers a third bedroom, also a double.
Descending again we find the generously sized garage with capacity for four cars and the icing on the cake of this incredible mansion. Another construction with independent entry has another bedroom and an office.
We have already mentioned in this description the slender, worthy figure of the old turret, however it is worth mentioning again in which there is located an ancient stone oven and workshop and what would be magnificent if one might consider constructing a barbecue.
How can we describe this property without mentioning the paradise on which the beautiful mansion is located in sceneries of nature and dream gardens that harmonize with the condescension of the house. Truly we might define it as a paradise where, if you are a lover of ornithology you will discover a real living treasure.
In summary a dream mansion replete with details and extras that will make the life of the new owners a real pleasure. You will be astonished after laying your eyes on this jewel.

Rotary polishing made easier.
The Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher 6.5 Inch CCS Pad Kit is a great starter kit if you're transitioning from a dual action polisher to a rotary polisher. The machine is lightweight, well-designed, and easy to learn. The 6.5 inch Lake County CCS pads are the same ones you likely use on your DA polisher. With the Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher 6.5 Inch CCS Pad Kit, learn how the same pads can eliminate more scratches and swirls when used on the FLEX PE14-2-150 Polisher. It will change the way you detail!
The Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher 6.5 Inch CCS Pad Kit includes:
FLEX PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher
The FLEX PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher is built to minimize user fatigue with an ergonomic design and lightweight body. It weighs in at just 5.6 pounds! The front of the polisher is perfectly curved to fit the user's hand and coated in rubber for superior comfort. The spindle lock mechanism is located behind the hump you see above so you cannot accidentally press it. A new combination of planetary and bevel gear provides extreme noise reduction. The gears are hardened stainless steel for excellent durability. A powerful internal fan provides optimized airflow to cool the engine and transmission to prevent heat buildup in the polisher. The FLEX PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher is powerful! It has a 1400 watt motor with a no-load speed range of 600-2100 rpm. It's capable of high speed compounding, but it also works smoothly when polishing at low speeds.
Lake Country< 6 Inch Rotary Backing Plate
Minimize the transfer of heat from the polisher to the pad with this Flexible Rotary Backing Plate. The backing plate is made of durable, molded urethane with a flexible, beveled edge. Hook and loop fasteners secure pads to the plate. Steel struts are molded into the center of the plate to give the plate stability and balance. This plate fits all rotary buffers with a 5/8 inch shaft.
2 CCS 6.5 Inch Orange Light Cutting Pads
The firm, high density orange foam is ideal for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It's an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.
2 CCS 6.5 Inch White Polishing Pads
The white pads are a less dense foam formula for the application of polishes, cleaner waxes, and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so it's perfect for pre-wax cleaners.
2 CCS 6.5 Inch Red UltraSoft Wax/Sealant Pads
This soft, imported foam is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works especially well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.
Foam Pad Conditioning Brush
The Foam Pad Conditioning Brush removes excess, caked polish and restores the usable texture to your foam pads in seconds. An angled handle and textured grip give you excellent leverage as you press the brush against a spinning pad. Use the brush on foam and wool pads.
3 Microfiber Towels (16 x 16 inches)
This microfiber towel is spun from an 80/20 polyester/polyamide blend, producing a highly refined microfiber. The microscopic polyester/polyamide fibers are split with a unique process that creates a "feathered" weave on one side for buffing and looped fibers on the other side, which are excellent for cleaning. This superior "feather" weave results in far greater absorption properties in a virtually lint free network of fibers.
16 oz. McKee's 37 Polishing Pad Conditioner
Prevention of dry buffing is as easy as misting an unused pad with McKee's 37 Polishing Pad Conditioner. It only takes a couple of spritzes to prep the pad for polishing. The rich lubricants instantly penetrate the pad, softening and conditioning the material. Even if the pad has never been used, it will glide across the paint like you're halfway through the detail session.
This kit is a great value! The 6.5 inch pads work with your dual action polisher, too. Stock up and start polishing with the Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher 6.5" CCS Pad Kit.
Kit includes:
Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher
Lake Country 6 Inch Rotary Backing Plate
2 Lake Country CCS 6.5 Inch Orange Pads
2 Lake Country CCS 6.5 Inch White Pads
2 Lake Country CCS 6.5 Inch Red Pads
Foam Pad Conditioning Brush
3 Microfiber Towels

Hi, I was wondering if my HP ZE1110 laptop would accept a faster processor (like an athlon class) if it has a standard Socket A its plugged into? I had the computer apart (to do some soldering to some components) and noticed that it looked like a normal duron cpu. I couldn't read anywhere on the top of it that it was a mobile version. I know that athlons were also an option for these laptops when new a few years ago, but I wasn't sure whether a regular athlon socket A would just plug into and work. Like I said, the cpu looks exactly like one that goes into a motherboard (similar to those P3 socket a's). Thanks!
No announcement yet.
Socket A AMD Duron Processor (In Laptop)
new posts
Check the markings ont eh CPU and identify it. If the CPU is in a standard socket configuration, then it's very likely you can remove it and replace it with another CPU that uses the same core (Thunderbird, Barton, etc.)
You might also check an in-depth hardware compatibility site and see if CPUs with other cores might enable you to have a faster rig than you envisioned. It's possible, but I don't know.
You might also consider looking at HP's support. It may or may not be helpful.
As long as the new cpu is a "mobile" you should be able to swap them without a hitch (assuming your mobo is okay).
But if you drop a non-mobile cpu, mmmmmuhhahahahahahhaahhahaha !
FYI, my tbird 1.4 Ghz sux 70 W of power.Now Galileo is real. Muhahahahaha :p
I think I just decided to leave it alone. I had to buy a new motherboard b/c for some reason it went out when I tried testing the computer in my car ::cry::. I think it may have been the power supply, but not sure. Anyways, I found a replacement motherboard with a 1.1 ghz processor on ebay (still a duron, though) so I snapped it up. Cost me less than 100 dollars (barely), but I'm glad I didn't have to buy a new laptop. Thanks!Celeron 2.53 Ghz Processor

Zillow Perk: Ski Day
In a sign that the employment market has turned around quite a bit in the last year, Seattle-based Zillow is highlighting one if it's company perks today: an annual "ski day" where employees get to take a day off and hang out at the slopes with co-workers. Zillow said that its annual ski day was held in Crystal Mountain this year, along with a similar event at Big Bear Lake, California for the firm's employees at Diverse Solutions. Zillow pulled out photos from the event on its blog Wednesday, pointing to a list of the company's job openings.

/// Five Protective Cases for the iPhone 5
Uh-oh. Is there a ScuffGate controversy brewing? The iPhone 5 went on sale just last Friday but already a number of owners have taken to the Web to complain about imperfections on their shiny new Apple devices. (Not to mention the kerfuffle over the Maps application in iOS 6.) Belkin Flex Case Some reported that their iPhone had cosmetic damage right out of the box, while others said that the back of the phone is highly susceptible to nicks and scratches. It's still too early to tell how big of a problem this is — an informal survey on MacRumors shows that about 49 percent of the respondents say their iPhone is just fine — and Apple has yet to make an official statement. But ScuffGate or not, I always think it's a good idea to get some kind of case for your smartphone. I know some might scoff at the notion because you think cases are clunky and cover up the iPhone's sleek design. I felt the same way until I dropped my phone one too many times, and since I have yet to win the lottery, I much prefer to spend $20 on a case than $200 on a new phone. So, what kind of cases are available for the iPhone 5? Well, since accessory companies didn't get a heads-up on the iPhone's new design, they're working fast and furious to churn out iPhone 5 cases; you can expect to see a bunch more in the coming weeks.

It was actually simpler than I originally thought. I used the visor clip ran the 8' cord also the length of the head liner to the passenger seat a pillar. Then removed the door weatherstripping (Just lifts up). Under the weather stripping there is a channel that goes to the kick panel. I had to put the wire under the a-pillar (without removing it).Then down the channel to the kick panel. There is a gap from under the glove box to the kick panel area. That is where I used the direct wire module that is included. Under the glove box is a fuse panel (Thank ihdillon!). I removed the panel and used the Add-A-Circuit on #85 (7.5A). For the ground there is a 8MM bolt to the left of the fuse panel that connects to a metal bar. I did have to crimp on a larger connector to fit the bolt diameter. I used the velcro included to put the module and I tucked the excess wires up and plan on using zip ties to hold them up.

1. Very inconvenient when you want to put the visor down. The radar detector really interferes with the functioning of the visor.
2. The V1 is heavy. It makes the visor vibrate and makes annoying noises.
Ultimately I wound up installing the Escort 8500ci PLUS remote. It is not as sensitive as V1, but it is very much out of the way and also it warns of red light cameras (has a GPS antenna).
Hope this helps.
I tried mounting the V1 in many other ways, and it just irritated me because it was SO visible to a casual observer. This is why I ultimately chose the Escort remote.
I like the visor clip but like you said if I want to use the visor I can't. As far as the vibration I used some receipts/envelopes to hold the clip firm. The position is quite good I thought. Doesn't really draw the much attention at all because it is high up and out of the direct view of others.

I think of it like this... if I spent a whole day eating bad, that's 15% of my week. I'm a big believer in the 80/20 rule for eating healthy, in that if you adhere to a diet 80% of the time you will see results. So by having an entire day dedicated to cheating, you are using up pretty much your entire weeks worth of bad food, leaving you no room.
I do my best to eat healthy whenever possible, with that 20% wiggle room for when I cannot. So instead of "scheduling" bad meals, let them happen naturally (cake at a birthday party, getting drunk for a buddies bday, eating out with coworkers etc).
Also 4 days of the week I eat high protein / high fat (lots of ribeye steaks, cheese, salads with olive oil etc) and low carb so these are the days I get in the delicious tasting food without paying the price of added body fat gain. The 3 workout days are high carb / high protein with low fat, so thats my typical "shape magazine" eating healthy days... lots of chicken, rice, and sweet potatoes etc with nothing added.
For me, eating healthy means natural non processed foods... to most it means avoiding eating fat (especially saturated). There is nothing wrong with saturated fat, its the hydrogenized vegetable oil fats (like canola oil) that turn into unnatural trans fat (deep frying etc).
If you avoid pairing fats and carbs in the same meals / days then you will avoid body fat gain, and still get to eat most of the foods you consider "cheating" items. A cheeseburger is "bad" for you because it combines A) processed carbs from bun with high dietary fat and B) high calories from fat content = more likely you are to be excess calories for the day. If you remove the bun, and make sure you aren't eating excess calories that day over maintenance, there is nothing wrong with it.

Things are looking dreary for James Howlett. AgentM has tweeted the upcoming film's latest poster and it sets quite a powerful tone.
The Wolverine will be based on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's classic story (WOLVERINE) which sends Logan to Japan. As an outsider, he'll clash with samurai (of the silver variety) and fall in love.
They've also released a Facebook cover image of the poster and a motion poster.
James Mangold is directing the film and it's expected to hit theaters July 26, 2013.
Viners, what do you think of the poster?

This latter reading gives a very straightforward and clear meaning.
I don't know Pali or Sanskrit, but what you say sounds reasonable. Do you have any idea why this last reading is less common?
My guess is that it is less common because you can't get there by only using the Sanskrit term. While in Pali "tatha" means truth, there is no Sanskrit word "tatha," so to translate tathā (which means thus or in that way) as truth in terms of reality seems unorthodox to me. This is also why the Tibetans translate it as "de bzhin gshegs pa." I think the Tibetan rendering of "gone in that way," meaning in the way of the earlier Buddhas, works.

I have the i9100 for over a month and already issues occur. One of them, the least annoying, is that when I answer the call and take the phone to the ear, I hear a click sound, something like a relay click when it closes.
Does this happen to you too?

Six months ago, most Tories must have hoped the spring conference would be the party's launchpad to electoral glory. But yesterday, the mood in Brighton radiated something else – nervousness.
Shadow ministers, senior figures running the election campaign and activists could be seen huddled in corners of the conference hotel at the weekend wondering whether the election was slipping away.
And with good reason; after a difficult three months, fears that Cameron's election strategy is faltering deepened when delegates read a banner headline in the Sunday Times: "Brown on course to win election." A series of polls during the week, which showed a narrowing of the Tory lead, appeared to have developed into an alarming trend as a YouGov poll showed that the Conservatives are now just two points ahead of Labour.
"I think there was a feeling that we would be gliding to victory," one shadow minister said. "The election is now going to be a lot tighter than everyone thought."
One elderly activist was blunter as she dismissed Cameron and Osborne while munching a sandwich by the queue for the Tory leader's speech. "David Cameron is a little boy and George Osborne is no better," she said. "If they lived among ordinary people like us maybe they would have a better chance."
The tight-knit group around Cameron and Osborne needed no reminding of the urgency of the debates in the corridors of the conference. In recent weeks, as they have watched their lead slip, they too have embarked on soul-searching to work out why they appear to be faltering.
At a meeting in their favourite part of London, the members of the "Notting Hill set" decided last weekend that they had made two strategic mistakes since the new year. The first was to launch a mini-election campaign in January by releasing draft sections of their manifesto. "This sort of turned us into the government and allowed Labour to act as the opposition as they tore us apart," one Tory said.
The various draft manifestos led to the second mistake: sending out mixed messages about what the party stands for. "Our problem is that we have a very clear message on the need for change," one shadow minister said. "But we have not had a good narrative on what we would do next. Just how will we take the country of the recession?"
The Notting Hill meeting addressed these concerns by agreeing that the campaign should be boiled down to six key messages. These include acting on the debt and backing the NHS. Tories say the meeting, attended by shadow chancellor, George Osborne, shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, director of strategy, Steve Hilton, and communications chief, Andy Coulson, shows the leadership is harmonious. "You all know we're not like Labour and we work very closely," a member of the inner circle said.
But there have been differences among the group, most particularly among Hilton and Coulson. Hilton, who was highly influenced by the 2008 presidential election campaign while living in California, believes the party should focus on broad and optimistic themes identified by Cameron when he stood for leadership in 2005. These are how the Tories would mend a country with a broken society, economy and a political system. Coulson agrees with this. But he has been keener to focus on attacking Gordon Brown and on announcing specific policies.
The differing approach helps explain why Coulson issued instructions last week to downgrade an upbeat announcement, masterminded by Hilton, on how the Tories would give local communities a greater say over planning development. Senior Tories say it is wrong to exaggerate differences between the two men: Coulson was simply keen to maintain the focus on allegations that Brown was a bully.
Tories say the results of the Notting Hill brainstorming session paid off yesterday when Cameron delivered a "from the heart" speech designed to send out two key messages: to acknowledge that the Tories have their work cut out, by admitting that he still has questions to answer, and to give a clear, but not detailed, account of what the Tories would do.
One shadow cabinet member said: "We could have had a wobble this weekend but we didn't. That is a reflection of David's temperament. He is best under fire. We have sharpened our operation which needed a harder edge. We have had a wobble in recent months. But our key messages really do answer the question of what we would do to embrace the future."
Other frontbenchers are more nervous. One, who spends a great deal of time mentoring candidates in marginals, is concerned that the Tories are struggling in seats where they have to surge ahead.
"Hard blue voters are with us, as are light blue voters who were tempted by Tony Blair," the frontbencher said. "But the soft pink voters – Labour voters who have concerns about the government – are saying to us that on balance they will stick with the government. The hard red are still Labour, although they appear to be intent on staying at home. Liberal Democrats will not support us locally but will vote tactically with us nationally to get rid of Brown. So a key lesson is: Labour is firming up at least some of its support."
The leadership was putting on a brave face last night. "You know David and George," one member of the inner circle said. "They are not complacent, they always knew they would have a fight."

This dog will eat anything.
Apple cores and bacon fat,
Milk you poured out for the cat.
He likes the string that ties the roast,
And relishes hot buttered toast.
Hide your chocolates, he's a thief,
He'll even eat your handkerchief!
And if you don't like sudden shocks,
Carefully conceal your socks!
Leave some soup without a lid,
And you'll wish you never did.
When you think he must be full,
You'll find him gobbling bits of wool.
Orange peel or paper bags,
Dusters and old cleaning rags.
This dog will eat anything,
Except for mushrooms and cucumber.
Now what is wrong with those I wonder?
I think I have found inner peace.
I read an article that said the way to achieve inner peace is to FINISH things I had started.
Today I finished 2 bags of potato chips, a cherry pie, a fifth of Jack Daniel's, a small box of chocolate candy and slapped the hell outof someone I don't like. I feel better already

In this "60 Minutes" segment, Anderson Cooper interviews the former U.S. soldier who brought the Abu Ghraib pictures to light.
Watch it:
Partial transcript from CBS News:
Exposing the truth has not been easy for Joe Darby. He turned in the pictures of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib in Iraq - pictures he discovered purely by accident.
He tells correspondent Anderson Cooper how he came upon those pictures, and how turning them in has changed his life forever - for the worse.
Growing up in Appalachia, Joe Darby was just an ordinary Joe. He signed up to be an MP in the Army Reserve. His local unit was sent to Abu Ghraib where Darby worked in an office, while others guarded the prisoners. And then, one day when Darby wanted scenic pictures to send home, he spotted the unit's camera buff, prison guard Charles Graner.
"So I walked up to Graner and I, you know, 'Hey do you have any pictures?' And he said 'Yeah, yeah, hold on.' Reaches into his computer bag and pulls out two CDs and just hands them to me," Darby remembers.

The race for the presidency and the election of 2012 were the topics of this year's Summer College, held on campus June 1-3. The keynote address on Friday night was given by the Honorable Gerald L. Baliles (above at left with President Christopher Howard), the 65th Governor of Virginia and the Director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. The following two days were filled with insight and expertise on the election process and the current state of politics in America. Attendees heard from a host of Hampden-Sydney professors, including Jim Simms, John Eastby, Ken Lehman, Roger Barrus, David Marion, and Jim Pontuso.
Jim Young '86, an attorney for the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation who recently argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, and Dr. Celia Carroll Jones of the government department discussed the role of Congress and the courts in the next election. Later, Chris Cooper '93 of the strategic communications firm SKDKnickerbocker joined Drs. Mike Utzinger and Matthew Bowman to dissect the presidential candidates and their chances for victory in November.
The highlight of the weekend for many present was the Saturday afternoon talk by President Emeritus Samuel V. Wilson, "Presidents I Have Known"-although he admitted it should have been titled "Presidents I Have Observed," as his contact with some of them was rather limited. He started with Franklin Roosevelt and continued through George H. W. Bush. His recollections were both fascinating and insightful.
Preparations are already underway for next year's Summer College. Make plans to be there.

Can I use regular finishing nailgun
to install hardwood floors? I have the dewalt 618 series and it seems to be the same as a pneumatic gun.
It can be done, but it would not be recommended. Those are 18 guage nails so you would need to put several times more of them in to do the same job as an 'l-cleat' or staple. Rent the tool if you must.
What sort of flooring are we taking about? solid wood or an engineered product?
Thanks. I would like solid wood but depends on the price. I am doing my initial research and will most likely start in the spring.
I used 15 guage finish nails to put down a bamboo floor (the instructions said it was OK). It seems to have worked find.
I think with a regular wood you'd have more problems with squeeks and stuff. the bamboo I used is the kind with flat strips laminated in three layers. It's very uniform and pretty stable.
Underneath my existing floors is a baseboard. Some areas are very warped so i'll probably have to put new baseboards in those areas.
Did you use underlayment when laying new floors? What are your thoughts on cork underlayment as well?
pyper, yes, an engineered product would be more stable, so a 2 1/2 " 15 guage would work.
llckll, i've never put new sub-floor under hardwood flooring. How thick and what type of sub-floor is there now?
as to the cork, check with the flooring source once you decide on the type.
I'm not sure what kind of sub-floor. But the floor by my balcony door is very warped/uneven. I suppose I'll find out when I get there.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
We know that a Hockey East player will be crowned 2009's Hobey Baker Award winner, honoring college hockey's top player. The trophy will make its way to the conference for the first time since 2000, when Boston College's Mike Mottau earned it.
The finalists this year are senior defensemen Matt Gilroy, sophomore forward Colin Wilson, both of Boston University, and junior goaltender Brad Thiessen of Northeastern. This is the ninth year that the nominees were cut to three before announcing the winner and the first sweep by one conference in that span.
Gilroy scored eight goals and registered 28 assists, totaling 36 points in 42 games, while bringing his consecutive games streak to 144. The former walk-on was named to his third First All Hockey East Team, the first defenseman in league history to be so honored.
Wilson, last year's Hockey East Rookie of the Year and HEA First Teamer this season, scored 15 and assisted on 37 more, for 52 points in 41 games. He tied for the league lead in scoring and was third in the nation in the category, while placing second nationally in assists. He has 17 multi-point games this season.
Thiessen has already been awarded Hockey East Player of the Year and deserves much credit for the Huskies surprise resurgence this season, including their first NCAA appearance in 15 years. He played every minute of the season and put up a 25-12-4 record with a 2.11 GAA and .931 save percentage with three shutouts. He ranked fourth in wins, twelfth in GAA, and fifth in save percentage nationally.
My pick: Colin Wilson. He has meant so much to the Terriers potent offense, the best in the league and among the top in the country. If this was an MVP award, Thiessen would cloud the argument much more, but since this is most outstanding, Wilson would be my choice.
Tags: Boston College, Boston University, College, Northeastern University
I'd be thrilled if Matt Gilroy got it. He's got a nice story.
Gilroy has the best story and Thiessen has arguably been the most valuable, so they all have great angles on the award. For me, Wilson's play has elevated BU from good to elite.

Coach Gets Bagged Despite EPS Beat
Sometimes better-than-expected earnings per share aren't enough to push a stock price higher. Just ask Coach (COH).
The luxury handbag-and-accessories retailer fell 7.7% in morning market action to $50 a share, despite beating earnings by a penny. That's because Coach fell short on revenue as its core North America markets once again delivered a poor performance.
For the period ended Sept. 28, Coach reported early Tuesday a profit of $217.9 million, or 77 cents a share, down from $221.4 million, or 77 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue decreased nearly 1% to $1.15 billion as currency exchange rates and a drop in North American sales all but erased international sales growth.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters recently expected per-share earnings of 76 cents and revenue of $1.19 billion.
It's been a rough 2013 for the once fast-rising stock. Coach is undergoing a rash of top executive departures and faces challenges from rivals such as Michael Kors Holdings (KORS), Fifth & Pacific's (FNP) Kate Spade and Tory Burch.
To fight back, Coach as added categories and expanded into online sales, as well as men's collections and overseas. And in March, Barrons.com weighed in bullishly on the stock following an upgrade by Citigroup analyst Oliver Chen (see Barron's Take, "Worst Is Over for Coach," March 13) who viewed the stock as a value play.
Coach's critics, however, see little to like in the near term, especially after today's earnings report.
Canaccord Genuity analyst Laura Champine downgraded Coach to a Hold earlier this month. In a note published today, she expresses concern about inventory following a 7.7% rise last quarter and predicts it "will be challenging for COH to sustain its current leading market share position of 30% in a deteriorating retail traffic environment with the current product in stores."

Types of scars
What type of scar do you have?
Scars come in various shapes, sizes and even colors. These different characteristics depend on many factors: how the skin was damaged, how well the skin heals, your personal and family history of scarring, how old the scar is and where it is on your body. Likewise, each different type might need different types of care or treatment.
Types of scars:
- Atrophic scars from acne, chickenpox and injury
- Keloid and hypertrophic scars which cause raised skin
Types of scars
Atrophic scars (pronounced aye TRO fick) form a depression or sunken area because of damage to the collagen, fat or other tissues below the skin. These scars are caused by: Acne, chickenpox, surgery and accidents.
Keloid and hypertrophic scars are dense, raised scars that are thicker than surrounding skin. They occur when the body produces too much collagen while a wound heals. They can be removed by surgery, but might return.
- Keloid (pronounced KEY loyd) scars occur when too many cells grow at the site of a skin injury. The resulting tissue covers the wound and some part of surrounding skin. These red-purple scars do not usually go away by themselves. They are more common in people who are African-American, Hispanic or Asian.
- Hypertrophic (pronounced HI purr TRO fick) scars are also raised, but they do not usually expand beyond the wound. They can fade at least partially without any treatment.

One Good Meal is looking for a few benevolent donors.
The Lee's Summit organization catering to the needs of home-bound seniors by providing lunch five days per week is asking for individual and corporate help as it tries to navigate the course of higher food prices.
Roberta McArthur, director of One Good Meal, said the organization needs close to a dozen or so people in the community to step up with a generous offer or donation to ease the not-for-profit's burden.
One Good Meal's overall goal is for corporate and private funding to represent 25 percent of the total income for the program while the remaining 75 percent of the income is derived from client payments for meals served.
"What I would love to do is find 10 people in Lee's Summit that can afford $1,300 a year," McArthur said. "That would feed one of my scholarship people for an entire year. There are some businesses out there that could certainly do that. Right now we're stuck. I have no clue in the world how to raise the money."
She added Hy-Vee recently had to raise cost by a dollar per meal after the store held prices steady over the last year or so. Hy-Vee caters the $4 lunches that One Good Meal serves and delivers to more than 80 Lee's Summit residents daily, which computes to roughly 400 meals per week and more than 2,000 meals served monthly.
"We knew it was coming and they graciously allowed us to break it up into two different segments" McArthur said of higher food prices. "The first one was the first of May when prices per meal went up fifty cents. The next fifty cents will be in November. It sounds really simple, but 40 percent of my people can't afford to pay anything. It's a huge thing to us."
Ryan Bryant, catering manager at Hy-Vee, said the partnership between the store and One Good Meal has been a mainstay in the community for nearly 20 years – One Good Meal began in Lee's Summit in 1995 – and they have did all that they could to keep prices at a affordable rate.
As with any business, Bryant said, Hy-Vee has to balance goodwill in the community with their needs as well.
"It's been a great partnership," he said. "It's very, very personable. We enjoy doing what we can to help our community and the folks that are in need. Unfortunately with the way the market is going the last couple of years with rising prices and inflation and all of that stuff, it got to the point that we had to really evaluate what was the best option for our business to keep the margin as low as we could. We're lucky to have Roberta as a partner and we want to keep it going for many more years to come."
McArthur repeatedly praised the work Hy-Vee has done with One Good Meal over the years. Rising food prices is an unfortunate event for the organization, but the blame should not be placed on any one individual or business, she said. Higher costs are just the sign of the times we live in.
"(Bryant) was upset that we had to raise the prices of the meals," McArthur said. "They worked so hard to keep it so low for me."
Monetary contributions can be made by mailing an investment to the following address: One Good Meal, P.O. Box 2222, Lee's Summit, MO 64063. For additional information contact McArthur at 816-547-6394 or via email at onegoodmealinfo@gmail.

Dear mothers and sisters,Ramadan was a fleeting visitor that vanished as suddenly as it appeared, leaving us with sweet memories and mountains of reward or regrets.
