Perhaps you can tell this other blokes insurance company that the damage caused by their clients driving as compromised the optical performance of the headlight. As such their repair of buffing down the lens with the scratch still visible has not restored the headlight to its pre-accident condition & thus optical performance. A cracked tab, that has been glued back together is still a tab securing in place what it is supposed to, causing no negative effect on optical performance or vehicle legality, but their poor repair of the headlight may cause the car to fail an inspection. No insurance company can be allowed to hand back a repaired damaged vehicle in a non-road legal condition. The sole purpose of a headlight is for just that purpose, projecting light onto the road surface. If they come back with, the glued tab is not how it left the factory, well neither is a headlight with a single stone chip technically or a peeling decal. Where do they draw the line on what is factory specification / condition? If they say, well stone chips are fair ware and tare, then the tab crack was due to UV degradation of the plastic causing it to be come brittle (ware and tare). As an alternative, if your insurance policy has legal aid cover, you should inquire about using that cover to claim back un-insured losses from his insurance company that would cover the cost of you purchasing a new headlight. That way your insurance company is not getting into a battle about what should be replaced on the car as you have previously stated that they do not want to know.
Best of luck.

Jihad Jane and the Waterford connection
The police patrol car pulls up outside the Kashmir Tandoori restaurant in the high street and a uniformed Garda officer strolls inside. Minutes later he emerges, carrying a box full of takeaway dishes.
As he drives off the chef appears, locking the door behind him. Smiling, he tells reporters: "I know nothing. I work and I go." It's a very special takeaway indeed to make it worth opening for just one lunchtime order.
The hungry recipients are under arrest, suspected of involvement in a plot to murder a cartoonist who depicted the Prophet Mohammed as a dog. They are all subjects of a major FBI-led investigation stretching from South Asia to the United States, Sweden and, perhaps most incongruously of all, Waterford in Ireland's sunny…

i understand u r condition very well. you should traine gradually. dont do vigrously.. you can do warm up exercise(like strecting,isometrics ) before training or play.Quote:
I am looking for some advice. Over Christmas whilst sprint training for rugby, I felt a sharpish pain in my calf/achilles. I stopped the session and hobbled home. The next day it was sore but bearable and went skiing 2 days latter with hardly any discomfort. After christmas, the fist rugby session back, I felt some discomfort in my calf but completed the whole session. The next morning I was in real pain, and was limping around. The top part of my achilles was sore aswell as the mid calf. I rested and was unablt to return to rugby for 7 weeks. I played for a month with very, very occasional discomfort but nothing else. As the season finished at the end of April I was jogging and felt a sudden pain in the calf again. Once again the next morning it was very sore, and I have been struggling since then to recover. The pain is not so bad to walf short distances, but is triggered when I flex my knee under pressure (bending down). The pain is now very specific to the middle of my calf and feels "deep". My achilles also is a little sore at the top when walking. Someone told me I may have a soleus muscle tear and that is due to overuse? I do train hard and most days (when not injured!), and am finding this very frustrating. I have not even jogged since end of April to allow it to recover. I have been walking alot though, due to a travelling holiday, which was uncomfortable (but had to be done).
I was just looking for advice really. Should I be stretching? strengthening? resting?. At the mo I have just started swimming to keep fit and this doesn't cause too much discomfort.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanking you

Stray cat and no rescue centres will have him, what to do?(13 Posts)
for about 8 weeks now a cat has been visiting our garden. On his first visit he tried to eat the fish food that was on the wall so we took pity on him and gave him some cat food (we have three cats already). He seemed very, very hungry but we just assumed he was greedy. However, over time he has started to sleep in our garden and he is always around, sitting on the wall and crying. Now that it is getting much colder we are worried about him and want him to go home.
We can't take him in because we already have two 11 year old cats and a 5 month old kitten. Only one of the older cats goes outside, and he hates the new stray cat. They don't fight but our cat appears to be quite scared of him and sometimes won't come in when the stray's there.
The stray cat is not neutered so he is quite smelly and we think he has tics, poor thing. Because he isn't neutered he may well have wandered quite far and lost his way. He really is looking quite dishevelled.
We advertised on a local Facebook page but nothing became of it (one man said he thought it was his and then wouldn't reply to any further messages), so we took him to the vets to see if he had a microchip - he doesn't. So we rang every rescue centre within about 20 miles and everywhere said they couldn't take him.
We opened our shed for him to sleep in but he doesn't go in. There is a steel box sheltered in some bushes that we put there for our cat to go in when it rains and we aren't there to let them in, and the stray cat sometimes adopts that but mostly he just sits on the wall in the rain.
He won't survive the winter but we can't take him in and the rescue centres can't/won't help! Does anyone know what we can do?!
i would suggest getting back to the rescues and asking if he can go on any waiting lists and lost and found lists so that at least he has a chance of going into rescue, you could advertise for a home for him at the vets they usually have a notice board, ask all your friends if anyone is willing to take him in till you can rehome him, and if he has ticks please get him some spot on from the vets as ticks will make him very ill and possibly kill him, poor lad and if he is catchable ask your local cats protection about a voucher for getting him neutered at the very least this will make his life better
Thank you, will do that. I didn't know if spot on would help the tics that he already has but if it will then I'll get some. Forgot to mention that we put him on the found board at the vets. Posters with missing cats on usually get pulled down around here but I think I will try that too. Going to download the RSPCA paper collar today just incase he has got a home.
what issey said about getting vouchers and getting him neutered. He is very, very unlikely to have an owner (except in the distant past). Unneutered toms are nearly always stray. What normally happens is that people don't them them done in time, they smell a female in heat from literally miles away, go after them and get hopelessly lost and become stray.
So yes, if you can catch him then get him neutered and treated for fleas and ticks, get him on a waiting list for shelters and, in the meantime, can you get some sort of shelter for him? Do you have a garden shed for example? Or something else he could shelter in? If money isn't a problem then you can buy really good cat kennels from Pets at Home and probably all over the internet.
It's good of you to help him.
He is very friendly and will always come for a fuss, but just hates being put in a box! If I can get him back in to it then will definitely get him neutered. We do have a shed, and a sort of box that we have sheltered from the rain, it's just very cold! The box is always accessible but I will open up the shed again.
Thank you for your replies
If he's friendly then getting him in a cat carrier should be quite easy. Do it when he's inside the house so there's no escape. Hold him by the scruff of the neck, tightly, and lift him with the other hand, never letting go of the scruff. Introduce him into the carrier BUM FIRST. This is the trick. If you try to put them in head first all hell breaks loose. You will need someone else to hold the carrier still while you do it or put it against a wall.
And in the shed you can put a cardboard box with a hole cut out and blankets inside, it should be quite cosy and much better than being exposed to the elements.
The poor poor cat. That's so kind of you to be trying to help him. Is there a chance that if you are able to get him neutered and de-ticked, he may be able to stay with you as an outdoor cat? (or would your own cats still be too unhappy about him?)
I would be a bit wary of putting photos of him on "lost cat" posters or Facebook etc because I've heard of people claiming these poor animals (no need to prove ownership by giving a description, if the picture is already there) & then using them as bait for fighting dogs etc
If you're stuck with using the (cold) shed for him, I believe that you can get heated pads and insert pads which can be used outside - ranging in price according to whether they are powered or microwaveable etc.
I haven't used one but other posters may have and might be able to give you a recommendation.
You are very kind jelly, thank goodness you are looking out for him. The heated pads sound like a great idea.
CatNeuterer, I found your info about stray males very apt for us. One winter a beautiful male showed up, he was five or six months. He was scared of adults. Liked our little GS who named him Rosie. He grew very large after that, 16.5 lbs now.
The next winter, a long haired, matted, male appeared. We named him Scruffy. Same age. We had him shaved down for mats, many tics. He has ear curls, maybe part Maine Coon.
They are inside/outside cats and have a pretty serious dislike for each other.
Funny thing with Scruffy. We managed to get him into a cat sack for another vet trip. As my DH carried him to SUV, the cat struggled, twisting in the sack. We got him into car and he leaped out, rolling across the parking area in the sack. I was PMSL.
Online are directions to make cat shelters.
Can you get the ticks out? They must be bad for him?
A hot water bottle rolled in a fleece keeps warm for hours, I use cheap fleeces from asda because I reason he's only going to get fur on them or be sick on them.
I scoop my cat into his box, I take him into the bathroom because its a small room and I take the door off the carrier. The idea is to back puss into a corner so they have to go into the carrier, then push their bottom in with the door, tail permitting, and get them locked in.
I will definitely take all of this advice on board, thank you everyone

Nanoparticles have been investigated as drug carriers, because they provide a great opportunity due to their advantageous features: (i) various formulations using organic/inorganic materials, (ii) easy modification of targeting molecules, drugs or other molecules on them, (iii) effective delivery to target sites, resulting in high therapeutic efficacy and (iv) controlling drug release by external/internal stimuli. Because of these features, therapeutic efficacy can be improved and unwanted side effects can be reduced. Theranostic nanoparticles have been developed by incorporating imaging agents in drug carriers as all-in-one system, which makes it possible to diagnose and treat cancer by monitoring drug delivery behavior simultaneously. Recently, stimuli-responsive, activatable nanomaterials are being applied that are capable of producing chemical or physical changes by external stimuli. By using these nanoparticles, multiple tasks can be carried out simultaneously, e.g., early and accurate diagnosis, efficient cataloguing of patient groups of personalized therapy and real-time monitoring of disease progress. In this paper, we describe various types of nanoparticles for drug delivery systems, as well as theranostic systems.
Since polyalkylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles attached with anticancer drugs were described in the late 1970s, nanotechnology has been an emerging field in drug-delivery research, which aims to design drug carriers that deliver drugs more precisely to tumor cells and maintain them at a therapeutic concentration over a long period [
A polymeric micelle structure, consisting of a hydrophilic shell and a hydrophobic core, is commonly adapted in drug delivery systems, due to its tunable size and surface functionality, high monodispersity and excellent stability [
Some lipids and linear block copolymers with a particular hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio can self-assemble to form vesicles, liposomes and polymersomes. These vesicles are closed bilayers whose core parts comprise the same solvent as that on the surface of the vesicles. Therefore, these vesicles are suitable to deliver water-soluble drugs or biomaterials, including enzymes, antibodies or genes [
Nanogels are another type of polymeric nanostructure for drug delivery systems that is physically or chemically a cross-linked polymer network in nano-size [
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have been utilized as novel approach to drug delivery systems with spherical shape with an average diameter between 10 and 1000 nm. SLNs combine the advantages of lipid emulsion and polymeric nanoparticle systems, which possess a solid lipid core matrix stabilized by surfactants to solubilize liphophilic molecules [
Inorganic nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), can be attractive cargoes for delivery of drugs, genes and proteins, because of their tunable parameters, e.g., particle size, surface properties and biocompatibility with low toxicity [
Since mesoporous silica nanoparticles were first reported (MCM-41) for use as drug delivery system in 2001, several remarkable reports have been published using silica-based porous materials, e.g., SBA-15 or MCM-48, as drug carriers [
Furthermore, the payload molecular stored within these pore domains of mesoporous silica nanoparticles through chemical modification that silica nanoparticles could stimulus-responsively mechanically interlock molecules, mechanized silica nanoparticles. These nanoparticles either change shape or shed off their parts in response to a specific stimulus, such as changes in redox potential, alterations in pH, irradiation with light or oscillating magnetic field, allowing payload molecules to release from the nanopores to a precise location at the appropriate time [
Hollow inorganic nanoparticles represent a unique structure for drug containers. To produce a cavity in the nanoparticle, removable templates are introduced, e.g., polymeric or rather-soft inorganic nanoparticles. Hollow silica nanoparticles, extensively used as drug carrier, have been reported using various templates, including PS−PVP−PEO block copolymer [
To deliver two or more therapeutic agents, organic/inorganic hybrids can be applied as the drug delivery carrier [
Drug delivery carriers remain in the circulation via the reticuloendothelial system (RES), e.g., liver and spleen, depending on their size and surface characteristics. To overcome their drawbacks, various parameters, including size and surface modification, have been studied. Among surface modification strategies, PEG as hydrophilic polymers can increase the half-life due to their high water solubility by hydrogen bonding between their oxygen atoms and water, as well as they can reduce the uptake by the RES through protection against degrading enzymes [
Tumors can present an increased production of several mediators and enzymes, which altogether enhance the permeability of tumor vessels with respect to those of normal tissues, because of the rapid vascularization. In addition, little or no lymphatic drainage in tumors leads to passive accumulation and retention of nanoparticles with prolonged circulation times in the tumor resulting in an enhanced permeation and retentions (EPR) effect [
Selectively delivering drugs to target tumors can serve to improve the therapeutic efficiency in cancer treatment, while reducing side effects in normal tissues. Drug delivery carriers that are modified by specific surface markers (targeting moieties) enable their specific recognition by target cells, which facilitates effective delivery to target tumor tissues [
Therapeutic delivery by magnetic guidance is an effective strategy for the selective delivery to target sites with drug release control. In this case, drug delivery carriers containing magnetic nanoparticles have been utilized, in which magnetic particles were guided along an externally placed magnet, and thus, drug in company of magnetic nanoparticles could be delivered to the desired site. Therefore, this approach achieved significantly high localization and retention in the target region with low unwanted effects of chemotherapy [
Schematic illustration of (
Stimuli responsive drug delivery systems are investigated for remotely controlled drug release by specific external or internal stimuli, including light [
Light as an external stimulus causes structure and temperature changes in systems, which can be used for the spatiotemporal control of drug release. Drug delivery systems with light-activated materials have been designed using various strategies, e.g., drugs conjugated with nanoparticles via photo-cleavable ligands. After light-irradiation, the drug can be trigger-released by cleaving or activating its linkage [
In addition, drug loaded onto nanoparticles can be released from the polymeric matrix to the outside layer through diffusion by temperature change. This is possible due to the hydrogen bonding among polymer networks that become weak as the temperature increases [
Recently, Haam
Magnetic nanoparticles produce heat through various energy losses under an external alternating magnetic field because of the transformation of their magnetic energy into heat by the dynamic response of a dipole with their magnetic moments [
It has been reported that the interaction of ultrasound with nanoparticles could enhance drug delivery in tumors cells, because this affects the properties of tumor vasculature and cell membrane and induces non-thermal effects by nanoparticle oscillation and acoustic streaming. This interaction allows enhancement of drug delivery [
Cancer cells produce more lactic acid than normal cells by increased glycolysis and proton-pump activity; the acid is released to extracellular regions, leading to a lower extracellular pH (pH 6.5 to 7.2) than blood and normal tissues (pH 7.4). On the basis of this feature, pH-responsive drug carriers have been actively developed to facilitate specific responses to cancer cells without activation under normal physiological conditions [
Recently, drugs conjugated with nanoparticles via peptide linkers enable triggered release by specific enzymatic activation, in, which a specific peptide sequence is hydrolyzed or cleaved in the presence of specific enzymes (cathepsin B, caspase) or protein antigens, e.g., matrix metalloproteinases [
Nanoparticles have been developed in combination with myriad payload drugs, imaging agents and targeting moieties, leading to the formulation of theranostic nanoparticles capable of delivering therapy concomitant with diagnosis. Co-localization of the MR image (MRI) detection site and drug release site ensures increased anticancer treatment efficacy; thus, this system allows early and accurate diagnosis, efficient cataloguing of patient groups for personalized cancer therapy and real-time monitoring of disease progress (
Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) possessing various ligands to enable multifunctionality from a single nanoparticle platform. Reproduced from [
In particular, the application of these emerging systems in personalized therapy requires the development of stimuli-responsive, activatable nanomaterials that are capable of producing chemical or physical changes
Notably, activatable theranostic nanoparticles could be effective in cancer therapy in that the loss of drug is minimized until the target is known to exist in the patient, as well as in monitoring and verifying that the target has been reached and that the therapy is working. Recently, pH-activatable theranostic agents were developed, in which organic-soluble anticancer drugs can be trapped along with magnetic nanoparticles inside an amphiphilic polymer that delivers anticancer drugs to cancer cells and effectively labels tumors for MRI [
In the past decades, the use of nanotechnology for drug delivery systems has grown exponentially. On the basis of considerable advances in the fabrication of drug nanocarriers with organic and/or inorganic architecture, worldwide pre-clinical researches have been underway with the current understanding of cancer, which undoubtedly expanded more than ever before. This review focused on drug delivery systems in cancer treatment using nanotechnology, providing an overview of the physicochemical principles of fine delivery systems targeted for cancer and cancer environments, whose pathophysiological characteristics are the strategic gateway for efficient nanoscale therapy. Ongoing developments have further expanded the boundary of this paradigm in medicine, such as the concept of "theranosis", a system that can be used to perform diagnosis and therapy simultaneously. Although there have been toxicity and safety issues, we believe that we will benefit from the new knowledge of molecular events in cancer gathered by nanoscale drug delivery systems. With the continued discovery of new materials, the establishment of improved designs and considerate efforts for sophisticated optimization, we predict that a "cancer-overcoming era" will emerge.

Acknowledging the alarming polarization and gridlock of Congress, and the startling, rightward shift of the political spectrum, you regularly hear people declare that there is no way we could get something as ambitious as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) passed today, not in this dreadful climate.
Despite being signed into law in 1970 by a Republican (Nixon) administration, a regulatory act as progressive and comprehensive as OSHA would, today, be considered too toxically invasive and too "federal" to have any chance of passing. And it wouldn't just be those anti-government Republican advocates of "self-policing" leading the charge. Indeed, legions of gutless, sharp-eyed Democrats would join them.

REDLANDS>> Pastel and acrylic artist Brad Faegre, who has been associated with Redlands for more than 25 years, will be featured in a one-man exhibition of his Redlands scenes.
The exhibition, sponsored by A. K. Smiley Public Library, will take place from April 13 through 20 in the library's assembly room, with an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. April 13.
"Brad is a very talented artist who has been a great supporter of the Smiley over the years. We are fortunate to have several of his prints in the library's holdings and are pleased to be able to collaborate with Brad in displaying some of his original paintings and drawings for the enjoyment of our patrons," said Library Director Don McCue.
Exhibition hours for the week-long show will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
All of the works in the exhibit are available for purchase from Faegre, with part of the proceeds being donated to the library.
Faegre's watercolors, pastels, acrylics and oils have been featured in numerous magazines and books, including "Pastel Artists International, American Artist" and the "Pastel Journal."
He served as president of the San Bernardino County Museum's Fine Arts Institute, and was the featured artist in 2010 at the annual "Art for Heaven's Sake" and at the University of Redlands in 1999.
He also has been chosen as Artist in Residence, Yosemite National Park and has had exhibits there and at Grand Canyon National Park.
"I was a stranger from North Orange County when I came to Redlands for the first time in 1987," Faegre said. "I was here to enter an art competition and was treated like a friend and neighbor by show organizers. That experience inspired me to return, again and again, eventually to live and work here."
"There is a saying that a place must be lovely to be loved," he continued. "Redlands fits that description. What is lovely in people is usually transferred to 'the street.' It shows up in warm hails and greetings and the efforts of a community to design and build a lasting and rewarding life. I've spent a lot of time savoring these qualities in Redlands and expressing them in my art: the town's broad avenues, winding hilltop roads, light and shadow-rhythms of mature trees and public buildings, parks and homes, punctuated by citrus orchards and basin and range vistas."
Faegre currently has 89 original paintings and drawings of Redlands of which about 40 will be on display.
Visitors to the exhibit will also be able to watch a revolving digital slide show of all his Redlands work, as well as a sampling of other favorite subjects.
For more information about the exhibit call the library at 909-798-7565.

OverviewBoulder ridge is composed of numerous rocky basalt outcrops but is capped by Peak 6852. Along with the Ridge of Gargoyles to the east it divides the upper Big Quilcene River from the north fork of Tunnel Creek in the rainshadow of the northeast Olympic Mountains. It is most easily approached via the Big Quilcene drainage and is quite prominent on the hike up the valley and from the hill south of Marmot Pass. Peak 6852 affords great views in all directions; from the summit one can look east down toward the Ridge of Gargoyles, out to the saltwater of Puget Sound, and out to each of the volcanos from Mount Baker to Mount Saint Helens. [img:465243:alignleft:medium:Peak 6852 from lower basin] The view across the Big Quilcene to Buckhorn Mountain is not so bad and neither is the vantage to the west over the Dungeness River to Mounts Mystery, Deception, the Needles, and the Graywolf Ridge. But most striking is the rugged view south to the Constance and Warrior Peaks dominating the scene. As for the ascent, there are options. From Marmot Pass, follow a bootpath south up the hill and along the divide until at the west terminus of Boulder Ridge. From here either drop down into the basin or ascend the ridge directly. The ridge can be traversed without complication via class 3 terrain most of the way toward Peak 6852. There is a separate west summit complex which will need to be bypassed if without climbing gear. If bypassed, descend slightly to a bowl with permanent snow and a lingering ice patch leading to the obvious slope northwest of the main summit. If the choice from the beginning was to descend into the basin and not to traverse the main ridge, it is at this point where the routes reunite. Marmot Pass can also be reached via the Tubal Cain Trail but otherwise, an approach could be made from the Tunnel Creek, Charlia Lakes, Alphabet Ridge side on the south slope of the mountain. These slopes are more gentle in character but the approach would be more demanding.
Getting ThereThe most straight-forward approaches would be to follow the Upper Big Quilcene River Trail 833.1 or the Tubal Cain Trail into the Buckhorn Wilderness to Marmot Pass. The Upper Big Quilcene trail is accessed from Highway 101 via FS road 27 and then 2750; the Tubal Cain Trail is accessed via FS road 2870. More committing approaches would be from the Dungeness River (trail 833.2) or up the north fork of Tunnel Creek which has no trail to Charlia Lakes.
Red TapeBoulder Peak lies within the Buckhorn Wilderness so the hoops of the National Park system need not be jumped through. But if parking a vehicle at the Quilcene, Tubal Cain, or Dungeness trailheads a Northwest Forest Pass is required.
CampingWhen hiking up the Big Quilcene River trail, Camp Mystery below Marmot Pass makes for a fine basecamp. If hiking up from the Dungeness River, Boulder Shelter Camp will accomodate. It is also possible to make a nice camp beside the tarn in the basin beneath the northwest side of the ridge.[img:465248:aligncenter:medium:Buckhorn Mountain beyond the valley.]

FSU Drops Close Contest at No. 15 UF, 67-66
Related Links
Nov. 29, 2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Ian Miller's half-court shot hit the back of the rim as time expired and the Florida State men's basketball team fell to No. 15 Florida, 67-66, Friday night in Gainesville, Fla.
The Seminoles (5-2) now have a blowout victory over then-No. 10 VCU, an overtime loss to then-No. 14 Michigan and this near-victory over the Gators (6-1) in the young 2013-14 season thus showing a tremendous amount of improvement since last year.
The `Noles got more than half their points off the bench at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.
Miller poured in 13 points, Aaron Thomas had 12 and Michael Ojo finished with 10. Like Ojo, 7-footer Boris Bojanovsky had a strong game, scoring a season- and team-high 14 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting from the field. Bojanovsky also had two blocks.
Okaro White added nine points and two block of his own. The Seminoles had just 12 turnovers offensively.
For Florida, Case Prather finished with 19 points and Michael Frazier II had 17. The Gators show 38 percent compared to FSU's 42-percent clip. UF had 15 assists to Florida State's 10.
The `Noles trailed 31-28 at the half but battled back and tied the score at 66-66 with 28 seconds remaining on the clock. FSU forced a missed shot on UF's final possession but were called for a foul on the Gators' offensive rebound and Dorian Finney-Smith hit one of two free-throws before Miller's desperation heave nearly found the bottom of the net from half court.
The Seminoles now head to Minnesota to take on the Gophers Dec. 3 as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

How Franchises Can Get Started with Local Search Listings
Local marketing experts can't say enough about the power of local search for franchises; it's a prime opportunity to reach customers who live in your geographic area and are already searching for the products and services that you provide.
For franchise owners who are running the day-to-day operations of their business, however, it can be difficult to know how to begin with local search listings. That's why we've compiled a simple guide to help you know how to get started.
Focus on Mobile
More often than not, people are using their cell phones to find business while they're on the go. That's why it's so important to capture your local audience online. Even if they don't live in your city, they're looking for your business while they're in the area, and franchise owners should make it as easy as possible for these mobile consumers to find you.
Find Out If You're Already Listed
Before you get started, it's important to make sure that you're not already listed on the major search engines. It's possible that someone else has already entered information about your franchise, which means that you will need to reclaim your business listing so that you can make additions and updates. When you're searching for your business listings be sure to search for several variations of your company's name, as it could have been entered incorrectly.
Fortunately, this process of claiming your business listing is not as complicated as it seems. Most likely, you'll need to verify your ownership status by providing the search engine with a code that is delivered to your physical address or to your franchise's main telephone number.
Remember the Big Three
When it comes to local search listings, it's important to claim your space on the three most critical business listings: Google+ Places, Bing Places, and Yahoo Local. Unfortunately, all of these search engines work independently of each other, so you'll have to create a separate business listing for each of these search engines.
Because Google is the most important among the big three search engines, it's best to start there. Like the other business listing sites, your listing on Google+ Places will stand out from all of the other search results. Also, depending on your industry, your business listing may be displayed in the new Google carousel design, which features more images than a standard business listing.
Yelp Is Important Too
Although Yelp isn't technically a search engine, it is one of the top spots for consumers to find out about a business. Plus, they can search Yelp on their mobile phones and share their check-ins on social media. Setting up a Yelp business listing (or claiming an existing listing) is easy and should be part of your local strategy.
Turn to the Experts for Help
Although it's easy to get started with local business listings, people who specialize in this area can take your local internet marketing to the next level. These specialists are trained to help you plan and implement an online marketing strategy.

- Physics
I am interested in the physics of spin-polarized atoms and nuclei, and in the application of these spin-polarized systems in other areas. Together with Professor Cates, research associates and graduate students at Princeton and collaborators from various medical schools, I have been working on ways to use polarized 3He and 129Xe for magnetic resonance imaging of lungs and perhaps other organs.
In most of our work we use circularly polarized laser photons to pump angular momentum into electron spins, and we use hyperfine interactions to transfer angular momentum from the polarized electrons to the nuclei. In appropriate containers, the polarized nuclei can be stored for hours or even days with little loss of spin. Much of our present work is aimed at understanding the slow loss of spin which occurs in these containers. The physics of this process is not well understood, especially in the case of surface interactions.

Kristen Stewart's Co-Star Explains Her Popcorn Spill
Twilight star Kristen Stewart has never seemed too comfortable around the cameras, and that was more apparent than ever at Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards.
When Rob Pattinson's rumored girlfriend took the stage to accept her Golden Popcorn for Best Female Performance, she was fidgety, dropped her popcorn, and admitted to fans that she is "awkward."
New Moon cast-mate Peter Facinelli talked to OK! on Tuesday night about Kristen's odd behavior. "That's just Kristen. I think she has that shaky knee syndrome and that's part of her charm."
He insists that she has "a real charm and grace about her," and it's just the sudden fame that makes her "uncomfortable." She"is settling into it," just like the rest of the cast.
He has high hopes for K-Stew, however. "To sweep the awards like that? If that doesn't build someone's confidence, I don't know what can."

About the Film
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students arent developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do whats best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
"Race to Nowhere" is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
In a grassroots sensation already feeding a groundswell for change, hundreds of theaters, schools and organizations nationwide are hosting community screenings of the film nationwide. Tens of thousands of people are coming together, using the film as the centerpiece for raising awareness, radically changing the national dialogue on education and galvanizing change.
Featured in the film:
Dr. Madeline Levine, Clinical Psychologist and author of the best-seller, The Price of Privilege
Dr. Wendy Mogel, Clinical Psychologist and author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee
Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, Adolescent Medicine Specialist, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Dr. Deborah Stipek, Dean of the School of Education at Stanford University

Knowing About The End - Poem by Bob Gotti
All Christians will be gathered together, to be with The Lord forever,
So in this Hope Christians find, encouragement and peace of mind;
Through all history believers endured, through the hope in The Lord,
So, we are not shaken or alarmed, for in God's Truth, we are armed.
We should never be deceived, trusting in The Word, we've believed,
The end times are revealed to us, through The Spirit of Christ Jesus,
Thus as nation rises against nation, we will trust in God's Revelation,
God's Word that will never pass away, is relevant to all this very day.
There shall be a falling away first, as the times wax worse and worse,
As many shall abandon God's Truth, setting up God's Final Reproof,
Christ, shall then rapture His Church, then times shall get even worse,
As the Holy Spirit is taken from earth, in the rapture of God's Church.
Then all the world will see tribulation, as the Lord judges every nation,
As the wicked one of lawlessness, starts to reign in unrighteousness,
Then the second coming of Christ, in the middle of Satan's evil strife,
As the world shall see Christ come, to totally destroy the lawless one.
Christ shall reign one thousand years, quelling all darkness and fears,
Then, that Eternal State we'll enter in; a time free of darkness and sin;
This is why believers, dear friend, have total peace regarding the end,
As it will be the start of Eternal Life, for all men found in Jesus Christ.

Three brothers cycled from coast to coast to raise money for a charity supporting sufferers of a cancer that killed their mother.
Martyn, Graham and Calvin Routledge, aged 40, 42 and 44, completed the gruelling Whitehaven to Sunderland ride, crossing the Lake District and Pennines and raising more than £1,000 for bone marrow cancer charity Myeloma UK.
The ride follows the death of the brothers' mother Catherine from the cancer two years ago.
They, along with cousins Terry Woodhouse and John Marshall and friends Stephen Jaworski, Ian Maudsley and Pete Shephard, had some moving moments on their way.
Martyn Routledge, of Malvern Gardens in Loughton, said: "We made quite an impact on our journey, being stopped by a farmer who handed over £10 and explained his wife had just died of cancer.
"It was tough going over the Pennines. We had a support car, and we really needed that.
"Everyone enjoyed a few pints when we reached the sun-kissed beaches of Sunderland."
He said his wife Debra and daughter Ruby, seven, a pupil at Buckhurst Hill Primary School, had helped raise funds.

By Gideon Rachman
The World Cup draw has just been made and I am immediately faced with a dilemma – can I be bothered to travel thousands of miles and to spend thousands of pounds to watch Brazil play Portugal in Durban on July 25th? On the one hand, I appear to have tickets for the tie of the round. On the other hand, my sofa in west London looks more comfortable and cheaper.
I will return to my personal issues in a moment. But, first, some comments on the draw. Everybody on television here is crowing about how easy England's group is: the US, Algeria and Slovenia. Even Scotland might have a shot of qualifying from a group like that. When England were drawn in an easy group and made to play their first game in Rustenberg, right near their training camp, I must admit I sensed a fix. (The proverbial hot ball in the pot.) Were FIFA making things easy for the English, who usually have a huge and free-spending group of travelling supporters? The holders, Italy, also have a ludicrously easy group.
But any unworthy suspicions that there might have been a fix have been dispelled by looking at poor old South Africa's group. It is normally deemed essential to the health of the tournament that the host country qualify for the knock-out stages, which means that they have to finish in the top two. Normally, by hook or by crook, they do it. Even an unfancied US made it to the last 16 in 1994 – and both co-hosts, Japan and South Korea, made it through in 2002. But South Africa are really going to struggle to qualify. In fact, they might struggle to win a game against Mexico, France and Uruguay. Read more

"Farming after the Flood – Farmer Perspectives and Agency Resources" will be the focus of a Dec. 14, multi-state webinar for those affected by the 2011 Missouri River flood. The webinar will be from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14, at more than 20 sites in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota.
Last week another swine barn explosion left one person critically injured. At this time, exact details of the incident are unknown. However, agricultural engineers from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach urge all livestock producers and commercial manure applicators to use extreme caution when pumping manure.
As Missouri River flood waters recede from farmland, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension are jointly planning a workshop for Monday, Sept. 12 to address cropland issues. The workshop will be conducted via webinar at viewing sites in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

I have (2) Caribou hides I would like to get tanned with the hair on.
I live in the Michigan area but am open to all suggestions. I need help in locating a tanner that does quality work at a reasonable price. Thanks for any info.
Return to Category Menu
Don't ever get confused with that "quality" being in the same sentence of "reasonable price." If you want a good job, price shouldn't enter into it.
I use Carolina Fur Dressing and I'd be hard pressed to find better, but I think they are screening new customers now as they are suffering overload. Most tanneries that cater to us are conscientious and if they get a hide in good shape, you should be able to expect a quality job in return. Remember, they had no control over the field care and shop care it got before they got to it, so you have to insure that neither you nor the hunter made their work harder than it needed to be.
Russ: We are located in Michigan and would be happy to work with you. We use Rittel's EZ100 tan and are very pleased with the results. As Mr. Roof stated, "if the tannery receives a hide in good shape you can expect a quality job in return." We concur! Anyway, if you would like to contact us via e-mail our address is above or you can call us toll free 877-787-3665. We are a family owned and operated business and take pride in our work.

only the University of Delaware made the list.
Authors Trent Anderson and Seppy Basili surveyed high school guidance counselors
who named EMU a best value institution by weighing the cost against the quality
of education.
Eastern Michigan is truly a bargain. Its a gem for students. Our
University is affordable and very diverse with students from more than 100 foreign
countries. No where else at any public university can you get small class instruction
for such a low cost. They (the authors) are just verifying what we have been
saying for a long time, said Courtney McAnuff, vice president for enrollment
services at EMU.
The second annual college guide publishes the results from a national telephone
survey of public, private and Catholic high school guidance counselors from
328 institutions. In addition to statistical information, guidance counselors
provided their insights about the colleges and universities with which they
were most familiar. The guide is free of paid advertising from the profiled
The survey was conducted by Market Measurement, a national market research
firm that utilized a random sample of U.S. high schools obtained from Dun &
Bradstreet. The guide is available in bookstores for $20.
Other institutions on the list are Arizona State University, Indiana University
Bloomington, Auburn University (Ala.), Florida State University, Duke
University (N.C.) and Purdue University West Lafayette (Ind.).
Eastern Michigan University is a public comprehensive metropolitan university
that offers
programs in the arts, sciences and professions. EMU prepares students with the intellectual skills
and practical experiences to succeed in their careers and lives, and to be better citizens.

Big Red Blog: Upset Alert ... Again
Upset Alert ... Again
Posted by Brad Wilbricht
Thursday, October 4 - 4:30 PM
The Cardinals will try and move to 5-0 on Thursday night but will once again have to avoid a letdown spot along with some additional hurdles. Arizona managed to sneak by last week against Miami but may have exerted too much energy during a tremendous second-half comeback that resulted in an overtime victory.
Another major obstacle facing the Cardinals this week includes coming off a short week on the road in St. Louis. The aforementioned tremendous comeback against the Dolphins took place just four days ago.
Earlier this season, this certainly would have looked like a winnable game for the Cardinals - and it still is - but St. Louis has been better than expected. The Rams are 2-0 at home and were seconds away from upsetting the Lions in Week 1, which would have given them a 3-1 record heading into tonight's contest.
QB Sam Bradford appears to be back on the track he started two years ago and has been complemented by some emerging wide receivers and still has the services of Steven Jackson on the ground.
Neither team has a statistical advantage that jumps off the stat sheet as both squads are in the bottom half of most offensive and defensive team categories. Special teams and turnovers are two areas that could very well determine Thursday's outcome and just so happens to be an area where the Cardinals have been a little better than the Rams. Arizona is tied for third in the NFC with 10 takeaways while St. Louis isn't far behind with eight.
If the Cardinals can continue to win the turnover battle and manage to get some sort of running game going with Ryan Williams and company, they'll have an excellent chance at moving to 5-0 on the year. However, Arizona's defensive magic will have to slow down at some point and Kevin Kolb could be in for a struggle against a solid Rams pass defense.
Unless Patrick Peterson can muster up a return touchdown or two, look for St. Louis to snap the Cardinals four-game winning streak and pull a mild at home.
Prediction: St. Louis 19 Arizona 17

Bug #2905
Multiple units under one AI leader in Warfare block eachother

It was amazing, how I discovered the reason for units in Warfare suddenly stopping on the point and not moving anymore!
I was recording the issue, that one of my AI units just stopped moving - in fact many units just stop over time on the spot and refuse to move despite of repeated move orders.
Then I decided to kill the leader speaking out the repeated commands (likely related to #1753) and see there, the next in the chain of command was a soldier somewhere out in the wild, very far away, and thus probably made the original leader wait for him on the spot - open remains the question why the leader only ordered him to stop all the time, basically eliminating the chances for the stray unit to return.
I hope this discovery helps to fix a couple of very nasty bugs (quite a bit excited about my finding)!

I noticed that it may happen instantly, as soon as I "send" my units to some KI and the existing units of the KI are far away. That's probably the easiest way to reproduce the behaviour for debugging.
Updated by Fireball about 8 years ago
Another AI just stopping and being blocked by something; can't tell by what this time:
It does repeat the move order I give to its driver, but they don't bother moving or engaging nearby enemies. I even was shot by some Jeep with an MG at some point after I stopped recording and they didn't bother to fire back.
I hope it's related to waiting for other AI (would be easier to fix), but I'm not sure.
Updated by Fireball about 8 years ago
I've observed the "blocked" AI behaviour a bit longer and it seems that it happens fairly often with LAVs. But then I see sometimes, that the leader prefers to order other units under his lead around and stays put while they run. This doesn't make particularly sense, when he's blocking his comparably strong LAV this way, denying his units the support it could give. I guess this also applies to other vehicles.

I think that was never a Warfare bug only to begin with. Though, I must admit, lately, the only stuck units I had was probably because they couldn't maneuver out of a difficult terrain (i.e. wheeled vehicles surrounded by trees) or they got stuck on rails or the low stone walls.
The base issue of this probably got resolved as side effect of some general AI issues fixing. Closing directly.

HCL: Extreme Management Makeover
By Gary Hamel
How'd you like to put a question to one of the world's most inspired management innovators—a CEO who's challenged a host of management orthodoxies? At the end of this post, I'll explain how you can do just that.
As regular readers of this blog will know, I believe that many of the tools and methods we use to manage people at work are ill-suited to the challenges of succeeding in today's "creative economy." All too often, legacy management practices reflexively perpetuate the past—by over-weighting the views of long-tenured executives, by valuing conformance more highly than creativity and by turning tired industry nostrums into sacred truths.
Fair enough, you might say. Everybody knows there are downsides to management-as-usual, but are they any alternatives? We can dream about organizations where employees eagerly challenge their superiors, where honesty trumps deference and where the pyramid has been turned upside down—but then again, we can also dream about world peace and cold fusion. That doesn't mean they're achievable.
This sort of skepticism is understandable. After all, the technology of management varies little from firm to firm. Given that, it is easy, and rational, to assume that the management status quo is also the status optimus—that while there may be other ways of planning, coordinating and controlling, there aren't any better ways—at least not for organizations that must contend with demanding investors and customers. Continue reading on Gary Hamel's Management 2.0

A well placed and attractive sign will always get the passerby's attention. A creative and well thought of sign can help your business stand apart from competitors. Signs are important if you want to get public attention. Before you can communicate your thoughts, you need the person to pay attention to you and what you are saying. In the digital age most print signs have given way to digital signs. With constant exposure to internet ads, tv ads and online media, today's customer is well oriented to digital technology.
Digital signage has begun to replace nearly all the traditional print media that has adorned our shopping malls and department stores. From roadside digital billboards that have replaced the large side-of-the-road print hoardings to small point of sale signs – digital signage is now everywhere. The traditional poster has also been given a digital facelift providing a flexible, dynamic and stylish alternative to the printed poster. Investing in digital signs to promote your brand is a natural way of moving forward with marketing. FM Digital LED Signs provides digital signage and interactive advertising solutions utilizing innovative digital technology to deliver dynamic, impactful, audience-targeted campaigns for a business.
Signs bring about an awareness about your brand and who you are. A person is more likely to buy from a brand they have heard about than from an unknown brand. How do they hear or remember about a brand. The most common way is through public signs. The person on seeing the brand repeated consistently tends to form an association and places trust on the brand because of consistent display.
Signs are also great for directing potential customers to your location. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration website, signs serve as a primary link between a business and its customers.
Signs work well in high traffic areas where attention is bound to go on the display at hand. Such areas are a great way to advertise something new that your business is involved with. Another great way of promoting in a high traffic area is to add your website url to the sign. If the offer is interesting, visitors are most likely to check the website at a later date and time.
Signage can be used internally or externally. Internal signs are normally placed in lobbies, lounges, cafeterias, elevators and other places within a premise. These signs mostly serve to guide a person to a place, to welcome visitors or to provide information.External signs normally use large displays.
Whatever display you go for, just ensure that the sign is neat and not damaged. A sign board that is damaged or smudged may fail to convey trust and quality.

From: William Hurst <>
Subject: [DNA] New FTDNA mtDNA updates
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 08:32:02 -0500
Hi all,
The FTDNA pages came back online almost exactly at 7 AM Central time as promised. I'll note just a few of the more obvious changes I see regarding mtDNA. (Please start another thread for Y-DNA, etc.)
First, they didn't update my subclade! My K1c2a is defined on the PhyloTree by 15944d or 15944-. I have that deletion, but I'm still shown as K1c2.
On my personal page, the default Results format is RSRS, which can be switched to rCRS. But on the Project pages, the Results are still in rCRS.
Most new subclades are shown on my K Project page, and I assume for other haplogroups. But I see many issues that will have to be addressed individually. For example, they have the new K1e shown correctly, but not K1d.
Many new subclades are shown with new terminology adapted from the PhyloTree and mtDNACommunity.org First one I see is "K1-T16362C." The "T16362C" is an unlabeled branch. Note the use of the T prefix - PhyloTree style, while the mutations lists don't have the prefixes. So there is a mixture of RSRS and rCRS styles.
More later I'm sure.

sorry I was jumping in and hadn't read this entire thread yet. In your startup script look for the erlang command "erl ...." and add a +d or prefix your script invocation with ERL_FLAGS=+d ..... I usually run out of trunk and would use a command like ERL_FLAGS=+d ./ utils/run -i where the -i makes it interactive so one can execute commands in an erlang shell. To use process_info you'd need to know where to insert statements in the code and rebuild. So your best best for now is to try the other suggestions first. If you're new to couchdb there's an IRC channel, #couchdb that usually has a few devs in there who can provide quicker turnaround on ideas, good and bad :) Cheers, Bob On Oct 6, 2009, at 4:01 PM, Glenn Rempe wrote: > Thanks Robert.

" Brand: Teatro / Type: Sandals "
I had the very special occasion of my 21st Birthday celebrations coming up and so I treated myself to a brand new dress and I wanted a pair of stunning silver shoes to go with it, but didn't want to spend a fortune on them. I regularly browse the shopping site very.co.uk to see what they have available, Very is the sister site to Littlewoods.co.uk for those of you who haven't heard of it. While searching for silver shoes I came across these Teatro Poppins Platform Sandals which as you can see above they come in hot pink AND in silver.
I thought they looked really stunning, they were £38 which was within my budget so I bought them to complete my birthday outfit. When they arrived, I wasn't dissappointed with them. They were as gorgeous as they has looked in the pictures on the website. The pair I'd purchased were silver in colour rather than hot pink and they still had the same silver jewels on them that you can see in the picture above.
They looked gorgeous on, they looked a lot more expensive than they actually were. The buckle that fastens around your ankle was easy to do up without any fiddling and it kept the shoes firmly in place on my feet without sliding. The sizing of the shoes were perfect, I'm a size 7 UK and so bought a Size 7 and thank goodness they matched up perfectly so I'd say the sizing is very accurate so you can purchase them in your usual size.
The heel on them is a bit higher than I'd anticipated, they are aproximately 4 and a half inches tall so I had an inkling that they would start to get uncomfortable after a few hours of dancing in them! But I didn't realise just how much they would hurt! After only about 1-2 hours in them my feet were stinging and aching so I spent the majority of the night having to stay seated rather than up and dancing as I'd planned! I kept telling myself "Beauty is pain Anna! Grin and bear it!" But it was very pleasant spending my night with sore feet.
I don't regret buying these shoes because they are beautiful, but I wouldn't reccomend them for wearing over a long period of time. I will probably wear mine again in the future, but perhaps only for an occasion such as going for a meal where most of the night I'll be seated!
They are currently available on Very.co.uk still for £38 in sizes 3-4-5-6-7-8-9 UK.
