Q:Can this product be used over infloor heat? Any special cautions?
1 answer
A:Radiant Heat Systems (all installation methods)
Q:Once the floor has been installed, do I need to worry about when to put down rugs on the floor? Or is there a period of time of how long I need to wait to put down rugs?
1 answer
A:Wood products can be dramatic in appearance, especially the exotics. Only factory made products such as tile, vinyl, and wallpaper will have uniformity of color. Keep in mind that wood and corks are natural product and no two installed floors will be identical. Variations in appearance are completely normal and are a desired characteristic. As your floor ages, color or shading called "patina" can occur. This process can be rapid the first 3 months, less in 6 months, then finishing off in about I year. Moving the furniture and rugs around helps to even out areas that were not exposed to light. Try to avoid large area rugs for the first 3 months.
Q:How durable is the product to high traffic areas like kitchens, entry ways, children, large pets and water?
1 answer
A:Despite today's advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor's finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and/or pets are all factors that influence wear and durability.
Q:Does this price include installation and remova of tile flooring ?
1 answer
A:No. Price is per square foot of flooring, installation is priced separately and runs from 2.50 per square foot for standard naildown installation.
Q:Is this suitable for a bathroom install?
1 answer
A:Due to the excessive moisture present in a full bath we cannot recommend any of our natural flooring or laminate products for this application, I would suggest one of our vinyl Tranquility products. We have a 2mm peel and stick and now a 4mm click together product that can go in full bath areas or where moisture is a concern. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:can you float this engineered hardwood without glue?
1 answer
A:This is not a clic together product and will require an edge glue installation to "float' it or...
Q:I have 2 questions: 1.)What protective coat and how many does the Bellawood Engineered Hickory have? 2.) Does the protective coat contain UV protection? Thank you.
1 answer
A:Our Bellawood floors are factory pre-finished with an aluminum oxide water-base urethane using a multi-step application process. (8) coats are applied to most domestic and exotic wood species and each coat is hard-cured using Ultraviolet (UV) light. Bellawood pre-finished flooring offers superior wear resistance and is backed by a limited 100-year warranty! (The exact formula is propietary information)

Cops: Man scalded boy's feet as he screamed
Updated 10:17 pm, Tuesday, November 20, 2012
A man is accused of forcing his girlfriend's 4-year-old son to stand in scalding water, hurting his feet so badly that the child required surgery and couldn't walk for weeks.
The child's mother told police that Louis Jaramillo, 25, became upset with the boy Oct. 15 and spanked him.
Jaramillo then took the boy into the bathroom, where the boy could be heard screaming that the water was too hot, the woman told police.
Jaramillo and the child's mother told police it was eight days before they realized the severity of his injuries. His wounds had started to smell, blister and stick to bandages, and the boy couldn't walk, they said.
Hospital staff determined the child's injuries were such that the boy had been held by force under hot water.
News Channel
He spent about two weeks in the hospital and required several surgeries and skin grafts, and continues to need treatment.
Jaramillo was arrested Monday and charged with intentionally causing serious bodily injury to a child, a first-degree felony. Bail was set at $75,000.

Cross country
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Our Drug of Choice
Cross country is the sport where one must motivate oneself to achieve a level of pure pain and awesomeness. It has been reported that cross country runners frequently are enormously hott if they are of the female persona or if male are reported being seen frequently with the aforementioned female runners with both runners in a state of undress in sub-zero temperatures. Cross Country is the only sport where one runs where ever the creator of the course damn well chooses and thus the level of awesome is much higher than that of track. Cross country is way better than football and wrestling[Citation not needed at all; thank you very much]for the following reasons: there are no time outs, no water breaks, no substitutions; this is a sport, not a game. When the team uses the track, they run circles around the football team. The only negative is that the only reward to this sport of the epic is a piece of fabric. The bottom line is that CC is covered in Awesome Sauce.
edit Origin
Cross Country was formed when a group of very nerdy people decided to run, anywhere, and I mean anywhere! After many failures these nerds decided one day to have a race to the nearest church, the catch was they had to run in a straight line from where they started, jumping over fences, cows, grannys, and in one recorded case a fourteen story sewage plant. After many people saw this level of awesome that emanated from mere nerds, others joined the sport but in the spirit of fairness and the somewhat odd phenomenon that they were actually good, the nerds were allowed to stay on teams. Organization eventually developed through the use of several foundations and associations and now set distances are used for most every competition. A majority of participating cross country runners today are masochists. From flaming snowballs to almost drowning in the river, us cross country'ers are purely amazing!!!
edit Cross Country TraditionsMembers of Cross Country teams generally have a various number of odd traditions. A common tradition of EVERY team is to play Frisbee and Hacky Sack all the time. Nobody is sure why runners are so attracted to the Frisbee. (Some scientists believe that over-consumption of crappy Gatorade is a cause of Frisbee obsession.)
- Hitting every stop sign you pass until they fall.
- Naming and touching the closest handicap symbol.
- Recruiting ex-soccer players.
- Being obsessed with pasta and bagels.
- Trying to get with your team-mates of the opposite sex even though you know they will betray you and find some other guy who is most likely gay.
- Shunning those who fail to wear shorts that are at least one inch above their knees.
- Harrassing those who dont have enough pubic hair to get naked in the locker room showers.
- Attending the most amazing pasta parties the day before a meet
- Racing to touch every wooden mailbox on a run
- Making up new things to race to because you suck at getting the wooden mailboxes first
edit Procedure
It is very easy to learn to be a cross country runner. Go to your nearest sporting equipment store and buy a pair of running shorts that are just long enough to cover your genitalia. Then buy yourself a decent pair of running shoes (not those fakes tennis shoes). After that simply run in any given direction over any obstacle.
If you're joining a team, You're Fucking Awesome!
To join a team, find the coach. He will be happy to have you and that will be the only time he will smile unless you mention bitchos. Then he will talk behind your back about how you should stop running with your arms out to the side and tell you to stop being a dumbass. Congratulations, you're on the team! The coach tells you where to run, when to run it, how fast to run it, and how many times you will run it.You will do it because he said so! Also, they usually never take any bitching, so shut it now Nancy. No one wants to listen to what your gonna say anyway! Don't try to hook-up with his girlfriends daughter even though she will do whatever you want with her mom and the coach in the next room.
edit Typical Workouts
- Hill Repetitions - A method of torture developed by Adolf Hitler himself. Initially it was used to make American and Yugoslavian Prisoners of War talk. This workout consists of a coach and or sadistic ex-Nazi psychopath ordering runners to repeatedly sprint up a hill. This workout is unique in the fact that it makes every single runner on the team regardless of skill level want to shoot themselves repeatedly in the face or impale themselves on the nearest fencepost.
edit Contents of a typical team
- Varsity - The runners who have dedicated their lives to being plain awesome. They run everyday and the coach adores them. Except the ones who don't run in the winter because its cold, or their mom won't let them run in the morning! They always have their damn Gatorade and need to be prepared for all occasions at all times. It's adorable.
- Coach - A long winded bastard/psychopath with no regard for what you may or may not have planned later and lets you go running an hour and a half later than planned. He tells runners what to do and yells a lot but the runners rarely need to pay attention to him, especially once they've gotten a few miles away from him.
- Assistant Coach - Similar to the coach in that one rarely needs to pay attention to the assistant. Typically chimes in with lame philosophical crap. You don't really need him...just harrass and prank him until he leaves, or dies! Otherwise he can be pretty legit on his own, but he's always teased for some reason or other...sometimes in his face, sometimes not.
- Average - The runners with nothing better to do, which caused them to stumble on a way to make themselves awesome. They run for various reasons, but nothing too intense. They also enjoy running because they can eat whatever they want without worry. Some have been known to eat entire family size pizzas and calzones in one sitting, as well as ten tacos at taco bell in ten minutes! But we don't drink soda! We drink Gatorade at meal time. YEahh!
- The MVP (The Most Valuable Pureawesomeness) - The top runner on the team. The one the coach mentions the most and uses for all demonstrations for how to run. Typically when not seen running is thinking about running. The coach loves them, regardless of gender, and is possibly the only person he holds any admiration for or has an inkling of respect. Usually the toughest, strongest and who has the sexiest (for men, hairiest) legs of all time. They are also completely immune to pain.
- The Seventh Man- The runner who barely made it on to varsity and is near becoming an average. Nobody will ever speak badly of him though, because he tries. Every girl on the team loves him, for some stupid terrible horrible reason.
- The Eighth Man- The runner who barely didnt make it on to varsity, and is sent to run with the average runners. He/she lives for the moment when a varsity runner is injured. This runner is friends with the varsity squad but is always completely ignored by the coaches. The Eighth Man is the only runner on the team who is actually excited when the seniors leave and open up new varsity spots.
- Weirdo - The runner that is fucking weird but is good at running so you are forced to run with him and listen to his rambling about his sexual experimentation.
- Lightening-Sloth - This is the runner that is generally lazy; never running in the off season, and only running when he absolutely has to. Somehow, they are still very good but are an asshat about it, so no one actually likes them. They would be the best, but just don't give a crap. He gets by on pure natural ability and is only motivated by being a belligerent douche to teammates who actually try.
- The Pansy - This form of runner isn't actually that bad when he actually applies himself, however they are constantly complaining about how hard the workouts are or about how their pinkey toe has an acute sprain. He/She constantly making up excuses to not run and is hated by the coach/the rest of the team.
- The Treefrog - A very rare breed of runner who begins his journey as an immovable object and slowly matures into an unstoppable force. Treefrogs, due to their humble beginnings as tadpoles and their evolution through extreme hard work and dedication reach a level of awesomeness rarely obtained by anyone except the MVP and occasionally by a few varsity runners.
- The Burnout - This runner sprints the first mile but is wasted by the second, and then they blame it on their asthma, EVERY TIME. For some reason they forget their inhaler a lot as well.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/10/2012 (1772 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE Jovon Johnson-as-a-linebacker experiment is over, six games after it was hatched.
The Bombers will move the veteran defender -- and reigning CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player -- back to cornerback from the outside linebacker spot he had patrolled since the Banjo Bowl in early September.
"I'm always excited to be a corner, that's where I made a name for myself throughout my football career," said Johnson after practice Tuesday. "At the start, I didn't feel that I was put into a tough situation -- it was just a matter of me going out and doing what I needed to do for the team. I've had some success there, but I've also had some games where I wasn't as good.
"I am a much stronger corner, there's no doubt about that. Every team I've ever played for, I've always been either a corner or a return man."
The coaching staff has opted to move Demond Washington, who had been playing primarily as a 'dime' (extra defensive back), into the outside linebacker spot. Johnson, Brandon Stewart and Johnny Sears will all see time at cornerback during Friday's game.
"(Johnson) said he just doesn't feel like he's a natural for that position," said head coach Tim Burke. "He's been a corner for most of his career.
"That's a very similar position to our dime position so (Washington) shouldn't have a big learning curve. It's one of those positions where somebody either fits it or they don't. It's a position where you've got people coming at you from every direction and you're directly involved in the running game as well as the passing game. You're kind of a linebacker, you're kind of a (defensive back). You have to be a really good cover guy but you also have to be smart because you're always adjusting to different formations and personnel groups. So that makes it a really hard position.
"I thought (Johnson) did well. I think he's just a little bit frustrated playing there."
Johnson hasn't been a bust at linebacker -- he had 18 tackles in the six games and had stretches where he was dominant -- but it's just not where he feels most comfy. Nor is it the best use of the Bombers' overall depth.
"It's different to be able to move around and play different spots and be versatile," said Johnson, "but it's also a challenge where you have to go in and take on fullbacks and offensive linemen and make tackles as a defensive back of my stature."
-- Tait
Argo QB Ricky Ray (knee) took snaps in Toronto on Tuesday, but did not do any throwing and didn't speak to media afterward. The Boatmen remain optimistic he'll return to action against the Bombers.
Both SB Terrence Edwards (foot) and S Ian Logan (ankle) did not practise on Tuesday but are expected to suit up Friday. WR Kito Poblah was back on the field working with the No. 1 offence.

Smashing debut at worlds for Lindeman
St. Albert badminton player attacked the net for Canada at U19 world juniors
Saturday, Jun 21, 2014 06:00 am
Making the leap of faith into the U19 level wasn�t a tall order for St. Albert badminton player Ty Lindeman.
The Grade 11 Paul Kane High School student competed for Canada at junior worlds in April at Alor Setar, Malaysia. He�s ranked first nationally in mixed doubles and second in singles and doubles in his age division.
�It wasn�t as big of a jump that I thought it would be,� said Lindeman, 16. �A lot of the players (in Canada) that are 18 stuck around and played and they are ones that gave me some trouble but a lot of them were going to university and didn�t play as much.�
In the team event at junior worlds Lindeman won matches against Bulgaria in doubles with Austin Bauer of Calgary and in mixed doubles with Takeisha Wang of Edmonton. Lindeman and Wang (ranked first in women�s U19 doubles and third in singles in Canada) also teamed up to defeat the United States.
In the Eye Level Cup format at junior worlds Lindeman prevailed against a Bulgarian 12-21, 21-14, 21-11 before losing to a Sri Lankan 13-21, 11-21.
�I actually did pretty good. In the individual event I won a round of singles and I made it into the top 64 and I placed top 128th in mixed doubles and doubles,� Lindeman said. �As a team Canada placed 19th, which is actually pretty good considering how many of the top Asian countries there are.�
The Royal Glenora Club member represented Canada at four Pan American Junior Championships, featuring badminton players from the Americans, but never at junior worlds.
�It was great to be able to play against the top players. It really showed you how good they are. It�s not that they seem that way, they actually are that good,� Lindeman said. �In their countries badminton is a lot bigger than Canada so they get more funding to do more training. They all train every day, like 12 to six so they�re all super fit and technique-wise they�re strong.�
Lindeman buckled down in preparation for his U19 debut after winning gold in mixed doubles with Wang and settling for silver in doubles with Bauer in the U17 bracket at last year�s Pan Am meet in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
�I started training five days a week instead of three days a week. I had five days a week of the on-court training and then two of those days also included off-the-court training in the gym. That definitely helped with my fitness and technique and everything that I needed to keep up with those (U19) players.�
It�s been a labour of love for Lindeman.
�I like going to training. It takes your mind off school and everything else that is going on. It just lets you escape from the world kind of thing,� said the latest inductee into the Gator Sports Hall of Fame for Lorne Akins Junior High School graduates who represented Canada internationally or played professionally.
Lindeman also doubled the number of tournaments in a season compared to the handful he normally entered.
�I played in maybe five national tournaments and five provincial tournaments and then worlds so it was a lot,� he said. �It was a little bit tougher because you get less time to recover and less time to train in between tournaments but overall I think it was worth it.�
After junior worlds Lindeman and Bauer spent a few days in Kuala Lumpur training for nationals and played friendly matches with the Malaysian U16 team.
Following a two-day stopover at home Lindeman headed to Vancouver for nationals and was awarded silver in singles plus doubles with Bauer and mixed doubles with Wang in the U19 draw.
Last year at nationals in Saskatoon the recipient of the tournament�s sportsmanship award was the silver medallist in mixed doubles with Wang and doubles with Bauer and the bronze medallist in singles.
Lindeman finished off the season with the Royal Glenora championships as the winner in men�s singles and mixed doubles with Josephine Wu of Edmonton and the Alberta Super 6 finals, which matches winners of previous Yonex Alberta Series tournaments for one last tournament featuring $10,000 in prize money. Lindeman and Bauer were victorious in doubles in a marathon 29-30, 21-19, 21-19 affair against Alex Pang and Greg Bury of Calgary.
�There is a lot more pressure when there is big money on the line but a medal at nationals means just as much to me as the money does,� said Lindeman, who estimated he earned about $1,000 as one of the youngest players in the open cash tournament but hasn�t received his winnings yet.

Enjoy coreless 'finger' roots with an exceptionally sweet flavour in just 80 days with this fast maturing Nantes-type. Carrot 'Romance' is ideal for early sowings under cover when day lengths are short, and this useful variety crops equally well as a maincrop for larger, crunchy 20cm (8") roots in autumn. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6").
Companion planting: Try growing carrots with spring onions, leeks and mint, whose aromatic leaves deter carrot root fly.
Useful links:
How to grow carrots Companion Planting
Direct sow carrot seeds outdoors from March to July. Early varieties may also be sown from February to March in greenhouse borders or under cloches. Specific autumn sowing carrot varieties can be sown as late as October under cloches for an early crop in spring. Grow Carrots in a weed free, sunny position in fertile, light, well drained soil. Carrots dislike freshly manured soils so seed beds are best prepared in autumn, well in advance of spring sowings.
Sow carrot seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½in) in drills 30cm (12") apart. Germination will take 10 to 20 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 10cm (4in) apart. Where space is limited, growing carrots in containers will also produce a worthwhile crop.
Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, carrots should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist as excessive water may encourage leaf growth instead of roots. During growth, the carrot roots may be earthed up to prevent green crowns developing.
Cover later carrot sowings with fleece or fine netting, and remove all thinnings from the site to minimise carrot fly infestation. Carrots can be harvested from July to December depending on their sowing date. Early varieties may be lifted when required from 9 weeks onwards, while maincrops can be harvested after 11 weeks from their sowing date. Pull a single carrot first to assess the size of the roots. If the soil is dry, lifting carrots can be made easier by watering beforehand. Roots can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 4 months.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.
Orders for packets of seed incur a P&P charge of £1.95.
Orders which include any other products will incur a P&P charge of £4.95.
Where an order includes both packets of seeds and other products a maximum P&P charge of £6.90 will apply - regardless of the number of items ordered.

Title: Double Major; Media Studies, Journalism and Digital Arts and Spanish
I like everything. I like a lot of the people and activities going on here, and how it's not super big so you get to know everybody pretty well.
I like the field right in front of the library for playing toss or soccer, and I like the gym because I'm a big basketball player and I get into working out a lot. I played intramural basketball last fall and we went undefeated and won the championship.
Living in the dorms with a roommate allowed me to figure out how much of a neat freak I am, and how I like my living space to be orderly.
Dave Robbins '16 and I are working with prisms, looking for the most efficient models that could be used in DNA labs for various uses. It's pretty challenging because there's so many different combinations you can do. I created an algorithm to disprove certain combinations.
My whole life, I've always loved math. I took AP calculus my junior year of high school. It's always been the class that I don't stress about. Hopefully as I move along, I'll be doing more math. It's been exceptionally enjoyable doing this summer research using my math skills.
A lot of things: That after-exercise feeling. Winning makes me very happy – being around good people, and being comfortable in the situation you're in… and just doing good.
I'm grateful for all the great friends I've made in the past year, the great professors, and all the great basketball players I get to play with - there's a little more competition here than just Vermont high school basketball. There's definitely more talent here.

Sportfisher 37
— By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
— December 2003
Go-Fast Go-Fisher
|Whether you like to get offshore in a hurry or island-hop at 47 knots, you'll want to check out this English import.
The 30-foot-plus center console sportfisherman market has numerous players: There's Contender, SeaVee, Seacraft, Regulator, Intrepid, Yellowfin, Fountain, Palmetto Custom, and Jefferson Yachts, to name a few. So why would Sunseeker, a builder noted for its silver screen-friendly performance boats (take a look at any recent Bond film) and finely detailed motoryachts to 105 feet, want to enter this standing-room-only arena? I was eager to learn the answer.
I found the Sportfisher 37 (Hull No. 1) docked side-to among a sea of sleek blue-hulled motoryachts at Sunseeker Florida's Pompano Beach facility. One of the first things I noticed about her was her 11'7" beam. Several other similarly sized vessels like the Yellowfin 36 and Contender 36 sport a 10-foot beam, while the Intrepid 348 has 10'6". Of course, the aforementioned are also completely open or offered with a cuddy cabin. Sunseeker's 37 goes a step further with an express-type layout below decks, giving her the ability to be cruised or fished.
The cabin, which is accessed via a sliding door to port on the bridge deck, is open, with a double berth forward (a V-berth is more common in this ilk) and a leather settee just aft to port of it. The open feeling below is enhanced by 6'2" headroom, which is substantial on a boat of this type. The galley provides amenities like a Waeco refrigerator, Kenyon single-burner cooktop, and Whirlpool microwave. (You don't have to just heat up soup; you could actually make an omelet.) For entertainment on or off the hook, an optional ($3,063) 13-inch Sharp flat-screen LCD TV sits above the cooktop. Like her big sisters in the Manhattan and Predator series of Sunseeker's motoryachts, the 37 has a satin-finished solid cherry interior that's grain-matched and smooth. There's even a full head just aft of the galley with VacuFlush MSD, Avonite sink, and stand-up shower. Closet space, however, is limited. There's one large locker, which lies directly to port of the steps leading down to the saloon and will hold enough clothes for a couple's weekend getaway. A pair of smaller mirrored closets to either side of the berth can handle ancillary items.
Besides all her cabin space, the 37's beam also allows for wide teak side decks above. So wide that my size 10-EE feet could comfortably fit side by side on them, and I was able to stroll to the foredeck without so much as a single crossover in stride. Once forward I noticed the area for the optional sunpad. Now that's something you simply don't see on a hard-core fish boat. But it is a great place for your nonfishing friends to flock while you drift-fish for dinner.
The 37 scored high marks for her well-appointed below-decks arrangement, sleek look, and liberal use of teak for her side decks and cockpit sole, but is she an all-out sportfisherman? (I admit a bias here, as my current boat is a 31-foot walkaround sportfisherman.) I worked my way back to the teak cockpit (the $8,670 teak deck option also includes the side decks) to find the answer to this question as Sunseeker's John D'Agostino fired up the 37's standard triple 250-hp Yamaha 3.3L HPDIs (twin-diesel stern drives are optional). He easily moved the 37 out of her berth with a shift of the Morse MY mechanical triple controls here and there and a scoot from the optional Volvo Penta bow thruster. As he piloted the 37 down the ICW, I poked around the cockpit.
I measured just less than 60 square feet of usable cockpit space, which to me is tight for a boat of this size. This is due in part to the fact that the centerline bridge-deck helm is set back to allow for a large curved seating arrangement forward. The port and starboard in-deck fishboxes are large enough for some dolphin and snapper, but tuna and wahoo will require a tuna bag. The livewell, directly abaft the centerline helm, is sufficient for a day's worth of goggle-eyes for kite fishing, and the adjacent sink will keep your hands clean while cutting bait. Although there are ten rod holders, there's no protected rod stowage. If you carry 50- or 80-pound reel-class gear, I'd consider adding overhead rod stowage in the optional hardtop. I also didn't see an abundance of tackle stowage for the fisherman who drags plastic; however, for the day troll and kite fishing in southern climes, I think she's quite suitable.

Blood Heart Clothing Group — Benazir Bhutto 100% Organic - Unisex
Love this Benazir Bhutto shirt, it has the story of that moment written behind her and she is such an important figure in history. Everytime I wear this shirt people ask me tons of questions, which I think is the point because how often do people on the street start talking about history?? Definitely not enough, this shirt starts conversations.

I confirmed an interesting vulnerability with Novell. According to this advisory, the Novell password can be dumped out of memory:
We confirmed this on a Novell 7 environment while performing a pentest.
You will need the PSTools, available here:
Use both Psexec and pmdump as follows:
psexec \\hostname -u username -p password -s -f -c pmdump -list
Find the PID of the Gwise.exe service. Then:
psexec \\hostname -u -p password -s -f -c pmdump PID PID_dump.txt
This will dump the memory to \\hostname\c$\windows\system32
Open the dump file in a hex editor and search for an organizational string, like an OU in the targets memory dump file.
From there you can find the Novell password for the user within the file.
To simplify this, if you have already found one Novell password, dump the PID for gwise of that user and search for the password. From there, you can work backwards to find the OU format, and apply it to other targets. For instance, at this particular location, the client's OU is similar to clientname.AA_FINANCE.AA_NW
If you do a search for AA_FINANCE.AA_NW in the memory dump you will see the password in plain text. Suppose the CFO is whomever.AA_FINANCE.AA_NW. By dumping his memory, you can search for the OU and reference your original dump, match up the location and password.
This was buried on another topic, but I thought it deserved its own.

If you've noticed a lot of shuttered bank branches lately, you're not imagining things.
Nationwide, banks closed 2,001 branches last year and added 1,234, for a net loss of 767 branches, according to the latest data from SNL Financial. That number represents less than 1 percent of bank branches in the U.S., so if you prefer to bank in person, it's not the end of the world.
But I'm not convinced it's totally meaningless, either. An annual net decline in bank branches is a pretty rare thing. In fact, looking at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s data on the number of FDIC-insured bank branches nationwide, I only count three years it's happened since 1934, 2010 being the last. Should the FDIC data mirror SNL Financial's data, that would put 2 of the 4 net declines in the last three years.
So what changed?
These aren't exactly boom times for banks. Hundreds of banks have failed since the financial crisis began in late 2008, and I'm sure the banks that acquired the remains of those failed banks closed down a lot branches they didn't need.
But I'd also bet the rise of mobile and online banking is also contributing. Yes, it's probably a little early to declare a trend and start working on my "How online banking killed the bank branch" story. It's entirely possible that people actually prefer branch banking and banks that hold on to their branches will outcompete those that get rid of them. But I do think it's significant that branch growth appears to be falling off just as those technologies are taking off. It adds another data point to the news we got that Bank of America has been quietly "realigning" their network of ATMs by making it 9 percent smaller.
You have to think that banks are reevaluating the necessity of having physical branches in an age when customers can do most of the essential tasks of managing their checking accounts in a few minutes on a smartphone, wherever they happen to be.
What do you think? Are we witnessing the decline of the bank branch? Will traditional banks ever go "branchless"?

During the past six years in which I have had the privilege of serving as director of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, our mission of reducing recidivism among those we touch has been at the center of everything we do.
We believe in returning men and women back to society better than when they came to us by helping them prepare to become contributing members of their communities. Not only is this done to reduce recidivism in Ohio, but also to continue making Ohio communities safer.
However, we know that reducing recidivism takes more than just the work of our department. It takes partnerships with employers, community members, churches, organizations, local governments and much more.
That is just one of the many reasons I am pleased that you are taking the time to visit our new website. As we move forward, this site will continue to showcase new ways for you to be a part of reducing recidivism in our great state. In addition, we hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities throughout this site to see the great work that is being done throughout our department – by staff, volunteers, contractors and offenders.
Did you know Ohio license plates are made at Lebanon Correctional? Or that offenders can obtain their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) at Richland Correctional prior to their release?
Did you know the Ohio Reformatory for Women has a Cosmetology School? Or that the majority of our institutions participate in "Pilot Dog" training programs where offenders train guide dogs for the visually impaired.
These are just but a few of the many innovative approaches we are taking to help reduce recidivism among those we touch. We invite you to browse our site and learn more about the work that is being done and the important role you can play.
On behalf of our department, thank you for your support.

Analyst: iPad Mini 2013 Shipments to Leave New iPad/iPad 2 in the Dust
Tiffany Kaiser
December 14, 2012 2:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: gawkerassets.com)
Apple's iPad mini will make up about half of Apple's total iPad shipments in 2013
The fact that Apple's iPad is predicted to steal much of the tablet market share next year is no surprise; however, the fact that
the iPad mini
may outpace the iPad 2 and the new iPad is certainly interesting.
According to DisplaySearch, which is a global market research and consulting firm, Apple's iPad mini will make up about half of Apple's total iPad shipments in 2013.
Apple expects to ship a total of 100 million iPads in 2013. Out of that total, DisplaySearch predicts that the iPad mini will account for about 50 million of those shipments while the new iPad and the iPad 2 will ship about 40 million and 10 million respectively.
DisplaySearch further predicts that there will be a total of 170 million tablet shipments in 2013 (from all tablet makers, not just Apple). If Apple were to achieve the 100 million shipments, it would have about 60 percent of the market share.
For 2012, despite being released in October, the iPad mini is holding its own concerning sales. In Q3, Apple shipped 1.6 million, and for Q4, the tech giant is asking panel makers to ship over 12 million.
This is an interesting prediction, considering many saw the
iPad mini as being far too expensive
for a 7-inch tablet (starts at $329) when so many others in the 7-inch arena typically start at $199 (i.e., Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD).
The iPad mini was unveiled in late October of this year. It sports a 7.85-inch display, a
1024x768 resolution, dual-core A5 processor, 16GB/32GB/64GB storage options for $329/$429/$529 respectively, a lightning connector and LTE capabilities for an extra $130 to those sticker prices.

Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir
Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir Reviews
Perfect for Dry, Dull HairI have over-processed hair and I live in an arid environment, so moisture for my hair and skin is extremely important. This Elixer made my hair extremely soft and manageable. I put a few drops on freshly shampooed hair, and again, a few drops on dry hair. I cannot believe my hair is shiny, and actually made my hair soft and lustrous. Even the color is better and more vibrant. It is non-greas...read morey, and actually felt like my hair absorbed it. This is a real problem solver for my hair. I am going to purchase the full-sized product. Nexxus products have always been very successful for me. — 4 years, 3 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

Review subjectI tried a sample of this. It makes your hair soft, shiny, and frizz free, like any other hair serum on my fine hair. I liked it, but it was not any different than the others. Its fragrance reminds me of YSL Parisienne. — 4 years, 3 months agoThorne | 456 reviews

instantly transformed my hairThis pearly serum is non-greasy, non-tacky on hair & hands while applying. It defrizzed my hair, and instantly softened my hair. The most noticeable was the moisture and conditining effect on my hair. However I had to use about 30 drops to cover my thirsty long hair, not 3-4 drops as instructed. I would buy this if it wasn't for the vanilla scent, which nauseates me. — 4 years, 4 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

I'm such a sucker for love. I've been married for over six years now, but have been with the hubby since 2001. That's around the time the photo below in the Heart of Haiti picture frame was taken. That's young love if you're wondering. LOL!
When Heart of Haiti sent me this frame, I knew I wanted to put a photo of us when we first started dating. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I was wondering what to give him. This will definitely be an early gift since I'm already writing about it here. So hard to keep things a secret around here!
It's the least I can do for a man who loves me "through thick and thin." He's the most supportive and amazing person in my life. He never criticizes me and is always there for me. From the day we met, I knew he was the one for me. Don't laugh at me, but I knew it when I could imagine us growing old together. Sitting on our front porch all grey and wrinkled. He's who I celebrate on Valentine's Day (and every day).
If you're looking for a Valentine's Day gift for the person you love, I'd recommend any of the amazing Heart of Haiti products. Finding a one-of-a-kind gift for that special person isn't as easy as it used to be. Especially, when you want to be able to help others at the same time. The picture frame I was gifted was made by a Haitian artisan named Simon.
"Available exclusively at select Macy's (25 stores including 5 flagships) and on macys.com through a unique partnership with Fair Winds Trading & The Clinton Foundation, Heart of Haiti is was built upon the principle of trade instead of aid. The sales of these works put real, sustainable income into the hands of the artisans who create them, changing their lives in remarkable ways." -Heart of Haiti
Who will you be celebrating on Valentine's Day?
Disclosure: This post was written is in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and Heart of Haiti. I was NOT paid for this post, but was gifted a frame/pendant. All opinions expressed in this post are mine.

KDE4 desktop
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
This article or section is a stub. You can help Mepis Documentation Project by expanding it.
The KDE4 Desktop basics
The KDE 4.x desktop which appears for the first time in MEPIS 8.5 is very different from the KDE 3.5 one with which most users are familiar. This section is designed to acquaint you with its basic features as well as some of the customization possibilities, liberally borrowing material from KDE.org documentation and other online resources such as Wikipedia.
NOTE: If you make a mistake configuring the Desktop that you cannot fix, you can restore the original default MEPIS desktop settings; Please see the MEPIS User Assistant tool described in Section 5.3 of the User's Manual.
Plasma provides the desktop interface for KDE 4, including the application launcher (start menu), the desktop and the Plasma Panel (formerly called the Kicker). Plasma also provides many standardized services such as artwork, presentation and script management.
Plasma uses a system of applets (any small application that performs one specific task, often within a larger application) are collectively called plasmoids, but range from informative widgets (see below) to mini-applications like calculators and dictionaries. An applet may also contain another applet to become a containment. An important feature of Plasma is that there is no longer a distinction between panels (like the taskbar), desktop icons, and widgets; they are created the same way.
What is commonly called the "cashew" is the Plasma logo you can find on the upper right corner of the default desktop, and on the right-hand side of the panel. By clicking on a cashew, you can access configuration options and features. You can also access configuration options and features by right clicking on the desktop.
One of the most useful and underused features is the plasma activities. The basic idea is that your desktop space is limited to how many widgets it can hold. Activities allow you to specialize each desktop (AKA "activity") to whatever task you need to accomplish to have a different set of plasmoids/wallpapers/information on multiple "desktops". Not really related to the traditional virtual desktops, but it looks like it at first.
Right-click on the Desktop --> unlock widgets, then left-click on the cashew and choose "zoom out". Now the desktop as you know it shrinks. Now choose "add activity". Now you should see a new blank desktop besides the old one. This can be repeated multiple times. Click on the + (plus sign) on the desktop you wish to use, and that gets you to the chosen activity. Set up your Desktop and when you have finished, do not forget to lock widgets.
What's the advantage? Every activity has its own configuration, which means that you can set a different wallpaper and a different set of icons or plasmoids for each of them, or one for every day of the week if you wish.
You have the option of 3 menus:
- Kickoff: new style menu
- Classic menu used in MEPIS 8.5.x (KDE3.5 style menu)
- Lancelot, an automatic menu
The first two are installed by default, and are toggled by unlocking widgets, then right-clicking the menu icon and selecting the alternative. Lancelot must be installed as a widget if you want to use it. You can also keep the KMenu —Kickoff or Classic— on the Plasma Panel or right-click to remove it.
Plasma Panel
By default, the Plasma Panel appears along the bottom of the screen, and takes up much of the width of the screen. It is something of a one-stop shop for (almost!) everything that you might want quick access to.
Besides the Menu, where you can start applications, the panel is also capable of running docked applets like the pager, the taskbar, widgets like a clock or system monitor, and extensions, such as child panels.
There are options off the context menu when you left-click the panel's "cashew" on the right end:
- The arrows on the right will adjust the maximum and minimum sizes of the scoreboard. The left arrow indicates the starting position.
- Screen Edge allows you to choose the location by dragging.
- Height determines the height of the dashboard by clicking / dragging. The result is visible in the release of the click.
- More Settings gives you a sub-menu of more options such as hiding, alignment, etc.
You can also add other panels wherever you like, since they are treated as a widget.
A widget is a basic visual building block of the Plasma desktop (the GUI) which, combined in an application, holds all the data processed by the application as well as the available interactions with this data. Other common names are "applet" or "gadget". Superkaramba Themes, Apple's Dashboard, Google Gadgets, Yahoo Widgets, Vista Sidebar Widgets, Opera Widgets are all examples of other widget systems, some of which Plasma also supports. A certain number of widgets are supplied by default, and others are downloadable from the Add Widget dialogue box.
To add a widget to the desktop, first right-click the desktop and unlock the widgets if they are locked. Then simply right-click anywhere on the desktop and select the widget from the list. Particularly useful widgets include:
- Quicklaunch: by default thisallows up to 6 applications to be available with a single click, nice on the desktop for the most used apps. It can be configured to display more app icons for launching, as well as set the icon size.
- System Monitor: various monitors: hard disk, network usage, temperature, etc.
When you are done configuring your widgets (including the panel), don't forget to lock them by right-clicking on the desktop (or the panel, under Panel Options) and selecting that command. This will prevent your widgets from possibly moving around or disappearing.
Additional widget source files can be obtained from KDE-look.org. They are found under plasmoids. Those that are not directly downloadable as binaries from the "Add Widget" dialog, can be downloaded as source files that will need to be compiled. Compiling instructions are included in the compressed file that the source comes in. You do need to have various compiling tools installed. If you get errors during the compiling process the compiling tools required will be listed and are available in the repos.
Folder view
This allows a user to display the contents of a file system folder within a widget on the desktop. It can also be used to launch applications, display remote file systems, filter large folders for particular types of files, and even serve as a traditional desktop.
You can open up Dolphin and drag any folder to the Desktop, then let go, and you will have a set of options that include Copy and Paste. Right click on the Desktop and choose Folderview. Right click on the Folderview titlebar and click "Folderview settings" to change the location and display options, including icon size.
Also see the Mepis Wiki page on Dolphin.
Netbook desktop

To switch to the Netbook Desktop, System Settings > Account Details > Social Desktop, un-check Enabled, Go back by clicking arrow at the top left of the dialog, click on Workspace, change Workspace Type to Netbook, click Apply. Below is the default netbook set-up, Note the Cashew is at the bottom left of the screen. And by default the page is unlocked.
When Netbook is first launched, it will load additional login dialog's, cancel them. Click on Page One at the top of the page, and delete the Community and KnowledgeBase widgets.

Adding pages to Netbook: in this example we will add a page add Web Browser widget to it, and set it up to monitor the Mepis forum, refreshing the page every 5 min. Click on Page one, Click on the cashew and unlock the page, click on add page, click on Add Widgets, search for Web Browser and drag it on to the page, close the Widget bar, by default the web address will be http://kde.org, edit to read: http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/
Click on the wrench in the top left of the browser, check Auto refresh: click OK. Click on the cashew and lock the page, click on the cashew again to close the dialog, do the same in page one to lock the page.
You can launch Firefox from Web Browser to go directly to the Mepis Community site, but it must be set up as the default browser in System Settings first. Next to to the wrench at the top left of the browser is a square box with four arrows in it, click on it to launch Firefox.
System Settings
The KDE control center is called "System Settings," and is the place to go to change any settings that affect the whole of your KDE environment. You can open it using the tool icon in the lower left side of the panel, Kmenu (Menu >>> Settings >>> System Settings), or in Krunner (Alt+F2) with its command-line name, systemsettings.
NOTE about Root: If what you want to do requires root privileges, use Krunner (Alt+F2) and type kdesu systemsettings and hit Enter. Whatever you do in System Settings will be as root. If you run 'systemsettings' as ROOT you will be able to modify ALL settings in the system. However, if you run 'systemsettings' as just a normal user (e.g. 'systemsettings'), which is the DEFAULT way when running it from the KDE menu-system, you will NOT be able to adjust certain values...you will probably find them 'greyed out', which is an indication that some particular feature is adjustable ONLY with 'su' (super-user) privileges. If you frequently run System Settings as ROOT, One way to facilitate that would be to create an application-launcher, by right-clicking the Desktop, then select 'Create New' -> 'Link to Application', and define the command that it launches to be the command value "kdesu systemsettings" (without the double-quotes).
The System Settings screen is divided into a few main categories, with subcategories in each.
Under the General tab:
- Look & Feel: Appearance, Desktop. Notification, Window Behavior
- Personal: About Me, Accessibility, Default Applications, Regional & Language
- Network & Connectivity: Network Settings, Sharing
- Computer Administration: Date & Time, Display, Font Installer, Input Actions, Keyboard & Mouse, Multimedia
under the Advanced tab:
- Advanced User Settings: Audio CDs, Autostart, CDDB Retrieval, Desktop Search, Desktop Theme Details, Device Actions, File Associations, Hardware, KDE Resources, KDE Wallet, Service Manager, Session Manager
- System: K3b setup, Login Manager, PolicyKit Authorization, Power Management, Samba
There are two aspects to controlling fonts: installing new fonts so that they will be available to KDE/Mepis, and setting the default system fonts.
Installing New Fonts
If you have fonts you wish to install for use in Mepis KDE programs, follow these steps:
- Go to KDE System Settings under the General tab.
- Find Font Installer in the Computer Administration category
- In the Font Installer window, you will see a list of currently installed fonts. Here you can delete installed fonts, or add more by clicking the add button in the lower left. Add will give you a listing of your home/user directory. You need to navigate to where you have stored the font files you want to install. Note that you need to already have the font files stored someplace on your computer system; KDE will not download files for you from the internet.
- Highlight the font files you want to install, and click the button in the lower right: Open.
- You will be asked if you want to install fonts for Personal (current user only) or System (accessible to all users). If you choose "system" you'll need to enter the root password.
Setting Default Fonts
System fonts
- Go to KDE System Settings under the General tab.
- Click Appearance under the Look & Feel category.
- In the resulting Style - System Settings window, click the Fonts category in the left column.
There you'll be able to set various default fonts used by KDE, as well as set anti-aliasing and sub-pixel hinting, if desired for appearance, as well as forcing the Font DPI size, if desired.
Other fonts

Firefox, Synaptic, Konsole, what else?
Krunner is tool for searching and launching files and applications. It can also be used for more generic operations such as calculator or unit converter. Press Alt+F2 to start it; it is also included at the top of the Lancelot menu.
Application launcher
This you probably already knew: type in mepis and see the options you have. Krunner can also launch applications. Start Krunner through the menu or with Alt-F2, and begin to type the name of the application you want to run. Krunner will grow a short list of applications based on the letters you type. You can finish typing the name, or just click the right one from the new short list.
CalculatorYou can use Krunner as an efficient calculator. It's very easy to use too. Just type the expression you want to evaluate such as
32*12= or =32*12(You can put the = sign before or after the expression). It is possible to evaluate more sophisticated expressions such as:
=sqrt(4) + 32 * sin(60)
Running BASH commands
Krunner doesn't only recognize applications, but it recognizes all binaries throughout your system. You can use this ability to run bash commands such as cp, mv, etc. To do so, start Krunner and type the commands just as you would in Konsole, for example:
cp ~/Documents/myFile ~/myFile
Running Internet commandsEnter any URL the page will pop up in your browser. Try web shortcuts, too:
gg:SomeWordwill bring up Google search results.
Say you searched for an item in runner that brought you more than one result. And say you don't want to move your hand to reach the mouse to select the item. How would you go about it? You can use the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to navigate through the results! Then just press Enter to select/run the item!
Task-oriented searches
Start Krunner and click on the wrench symbol --> User Interface tab, select Task Orientated --> OK. This changes Krunner into QuickSand, an alternative front end. Just start typing to initiate a search. QuickSand represents matches to a query as a scrolling line of icons. A completion box of matches is also shown when the matches first arrive. The list can be scrolled using the up and down arrow keys when the completion box is shown or the left and right arrow keys.
File management
Dolphin is the default file manager in KDE 4. Dolphin includes several unique usability enhancements that aren't available in Konqueror. By focusing exclusively on file management, Dolphin avoids many of the pitfalls inherent in Konqueror's approach, such as a more flexible sidebar system and a less-invasive notification system that doesn't interrupt user work flow.
For directories containing lots of images, press the preview button in Dolphin's toolbar and get previews of the files located in the current directory. To quickly move between directories, click on the breadcrumbs located right above the fileview. Clicking on the arrow next to one of the breadcrumbs lets you move swiftly to different subdirectories. To quickly move between directories, directly above the fileview, click on a directory name. Clicking on the arrow next to one of the directory names lets you move swiftly to different subdirectories. For a side-by-side view that makes copying files between directories easy, hit the "Split View" button. While Dolphin remembers settings for a specific directory, you can also set the defaults to your personal taste via the "Settings" | "Configure Dolphin" menu.
On the left-hand side, Dolphin's sidebar provides quick access to your most often used locations, called "Places". Just drag a folder to the sidebar and be able to quickly access it, from not only Dolphin itself, but also from the KickOff Places tab and from the "File Open" dialog of all your applications.
Konqueror can still be used as file manager (as can other alternatives such as the speedy pcmanfm, for that matter) and in fact it shares the fileview functionality with Dolphin.
See the Mepis Wiki page on Dolphin for more detail on Dolphin's basic features, plus suggested time-saving customizations.</p>
KDE 4 Desktop customization
Desktop Effects
If you have the necessary video driver installed (for your particular graphic hardware), then the Desktop effects will be enabled (a few basic ones).
For example, the 'snowflakes' one should work by default (if you've met the video-driver requirement). [In contrast, though, the 'Desktop Cube' will probably NOT work, after you select/enable it, UNTIL you do some other things. At a minimum, to get the 'cube' to work, you'll need to: (1) have FOUR virtual-desktops defined (so that you get a 4-sided cube). You`ll also want to: (2) enable 'keyboard mapping', and (3) map the META-key (as described in `setup` below).]
First set up the Meta Key: system Settings > Regional & Language > Keyboard Layout --> Advanced > Alt/Win-key behavior here you have a choice, check Meta is mapped to the left Win-key or Meta is mapped to the Win-keys. Apply.
Then enable the effects: System Settings --> Desktop --> All Effects tab. Check the following: Mouse Mark, Wobbly Windows , Snow, Desktop Cube. (Once Desktop Cube is enabled, click on the tool icon and set up the cube by selecting Always Enabled in the box for Switch desktop on edge. Here you can also switch background wallpaper if you like.) Click Apply or OK to close System Settings. Log out or reboot for these changes to take effect.
Snow on the desktop
Ctrl + Meta (Win-key) + F12 to stop or repeat the action.
Write on the Desktop
Shift + Meta, move the mouse to write, To delete :- Shift + Meta + F11 To delete last action :- Shift + Meta + F12
Desktop Cube
Ctrl-F11 toggle: (and/or) move cursor to left edge of screen: To spin, hold down the left-mouse-button and drag mouse; to quit, press right-mouse-button.
Switching among virtual-desktops should now result in you seeing 'cube rotation'. Remember that 'switching among virtual-desktops' has its own separate activation-binding, which is a different operation from spin/manual cube-rotation/inspection. You might not even have a scroll-wheel so, of course, these various bindings are changeable/configurable.</p
(NOTE: To use the scroll-wheel for desktop-switching, you MUST have mouse-cursor over an open-area of the desktop, otherwise the mouse-focus will send the scroll-event to the specific window's application, which won't allow it to go to the desktop-switcher.) Cube end-caps: It is quite easy to change the image that appears on the two end-caps of the cube to a custom-image of your own choosing. Simply replace the system-file:
with a .png image of your own. It's a good idea to first copy the existing cubecap.png to 'cubecap.orig.png' in that same directory, so that you could restore it later, if desired. HINT: To convert an image of another filetype into a .png file, you can simply use a file-manager (such as Dolphin) to open your favorite image of another type, and then do 'save as...' and choose 'png' as the new type, and it should auto-magically get converted into a .png.
To change wallpaper, right-click the desktop and select Desktop Settings.
For the weather wallpaper, right click on the desktop > Desktop Settings > Wallpaper Type change to Weather Change, from the dialog that comes up type in your City/Town amd change the Provider to suit using the Search button, Then Apply, and the desktop will now reflect your local weather.
For KDE 4 and Mepis 8.5 open System Settings --> General tab --> Desktop (or Folder) View Settings --> Appearance and change Wallpaper.
Different Wallpaper for each Desktop
It's actually quite easy to get a different wallpaper for each virtual desktop.
- Use the pager to go to the first desktop
- Click on the cashew in the upper right corner, select activities
- Create at least 4 of them (as many as you want different desktops) by clicking the plus sign in the lower right corner and choose "clone current activity"
- You should have 4 icons in the bar now. Double-click the first icon and close the bar.
- Now, right-click the pager and choose Pager Settings. Click Virtual Desktops in the left panel.
- Click the checkbox "different widgets for each desktop" then close by clicking "okay".
Now you should have 4 different, independent workspaces which can be differently configured; each can have its own type (like desktop, folder or search), its own plasma programs and its own wallpaper.
