Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) wrestles with inner demons while contending with monsters of his own creation in this sequel from writer\director Shane Black. The story in Iron Man 3 picks up shortly after the events of The Avengers. Having previously entered another dimension in order to save New York City, Tony remains deeply haunted by the experience. Unable to sleep, he throws himself into his work with such intensity that it begins to take a heavy toll on both his mental health and his relationship with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Tony has only started to appreciate the gravity of his problems when an enigmatic terrorist named the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) hijacks the airwaves and threatens to bring America to its knees with a painful series of "lessons" that even President Ellis (William Sadler) won't be able to ignore. When Tony's former security guard Happy Hogan (Favreau) is badly injured in an explosion caused by one of the Mandarin's agents, the vengeful playboy issues a public threat that results in his home being completely destroyed in a devastating attack, leaving him to face his enemy with only one badly damaged prototype suit. Fortunately, Tony isn't on his own, and with the help of Col. James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) and a young boy named Harley (Ty Simpkins), he pieces together the mystery of the Mandarin, whose final "lesson" promises to be the most painful of all.

For the first half it was really good. But then afterwards, it was either okay and not good. Like the first one more. Has its moments.

Hi all,I want to display the mouseover text on select box items in this page..Design New Cable
It displays one select box, at page loading time, when you select 'N-type' from that,and the next select box will show you, to select another property..like this, when the 9th select box displays, on mouse over on select box items, it will display some description....
This is working on Mozilla but not in IE....why?Can you figure out the problem...
In chrome and opera also not showing this text on mouseover....
Give me the help regarding the problem to resolve it....
Thanking you....
You are getting a javascript error
Object #<object> has no method tooltip for the $("option[title]").tooltip in
$(document).ready(function() {
cable_design_new2.php:5Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'tooltip' (repeated 2 times)
// use div.tooltip as our tooltip
tip: '.tooltip',
// use the fade effect instead of the default
effect: 'fade',
// make fadeOutSpeed similar to the browser's default
fadeOutSpeed: 100,
// the time before the tooltip is shown
predelay: 200,
// tweak the position
position: "right",
offset: [18,20]
Look at the source code the the HTML code and you will see that there is some scripting and css code BEFORE the <html> tag. You might want to start by fixing that up.
Thank you for your reply..I changed the code, now it is displaying in IE but not showing css style.. displaying as a normal mouseover title....
What is the change that you made? Did you remove it entirely, or move it to a more appropriate location?
i moved it to a appropriate location....But in Mozilla also not showing the stylish tooltip..Earlier it is showing...
In IE some error is showing, but that is not understand to me...
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)Timestamp: Fri, 6 May 2011 05:36:15 UTC
Message: Object doesn't support this property or methodLine: 52Char: 1Code: 0URI: Design New Cable
When this code runs:
That only affects page elements that exist when the page loads. You may need to setup that tooltip on the new options whenever they are created too.
A separate issue is that standard option tooltips don't work on many web browsers.Title attribute not supported on <option/> elements inside <select/> elements that don't have the multiple="multiple" attribute
title attribute in option tag is not working on chrome browser, but there is no alternative to show tooltip on mouseover of select box items...is there any option to overcome this problem..?let me know..
Thanking you...
It also affects Safari and Opera web browsers too.
Either use the multiple view for select options, or something else other than a select element.
how can i show without select box...i didn't understand...Give an example, what you told..
Thanking you..
There are many other alternatives to showing a list of items, but none would work as well in your existing situation than select boxes.
Welcome to the world of cross-browser compatibility. When something doesn't work the same across all web browsers, you have to choose whether to live without it, or take steps to provide alternate functionality depending on the capabilities of that browser.
The only other option really is to wait for several years in the hope that future updates will fix existing problems. Thank god IE6 is nearly dead.
ok.Thanking you..But in IE and Mozilla, it is working...
But not showing the css style, when i add to it..I can't figure out where the problem is.?
Is that where the jquery plugin tooltip is used?
ya.Thanking you for your replies...

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By ERIC BOOTHE
With nearly 80 percent of U.S. households connected to the Internet, it's no wonder that the ability to market through multiple channels has been a boon to every industry. Marketers are quickly expanding from cookie-cutter campaigns to more robust, personalized online campaigns as customers increasingly expect materials that are relevant to their interests. The key to succeeding in this personalized marketing world is to keep your efforts focused on your customer – meet them where they are – and effectively mix your efforts across all available media platforms, beginning the process of moving your customers from awareness to the coveted grail of loyalty.
Each year, millions of dollars are spent on the initial customer touch, whether it's via direct mail, e-mail, environmental signage or other touch points. Where many go wrong is not having the ability to coordinate these messages across all media platforms. Additionally, many marketing pieces have no call to action or avenue to draw a prospect into an automated campaign of personalized marketing.
The impact of the initial touch
The key to successfully reaching customers requires organizing and coordinating your marketing efforts across all media to deliver your customers to the entry point of the program. This can be done several ways to ensure you are allowing the customer to respond to your query or product information in the way they are comfortable. With known prospects, the use of personalized URLs (PURLs) is a great way to go. PURLs utilize the customer's name in the URL, for example www.johnsmith.freegift.org. Added to an email blast or direct mail campaign, the PURL can bring the potential customer to a landing page fully customized with information you have already collected, including their name, interests, etc.
Without even knowing it, the entry point into such a program is created, as many consumers immediately turn to the Internet and company websites to gain knowledge regarding a specific product or service after receiving a marketing piece. Today, websites make it easy for consumers to request additional product information with the availability of a simple form. By requesting enough information from the customer, future communication can be personalized. This is the first step toward improving your impact on prospective customers.
For those unknown prospects, one way to add an interactive option to environmental signage, brochures, or direct mail pieces is to include a 2D barcode. The use of smart phones has risen exponentially and many have access to software that decodes 2D barcodes. These seemingly strange squares made up of innumerable little black and white squares (actually up to 4,296 for QR Codes) which can be read by nearly any smart phone with a camera, can translate a large quantity of information to your customer. Inside these magical squares, a marketer can input a URL to take the prospect to a mobile website containing more information around a specific product as well as offer the customer a way to sign up to receive additional information. Phone numbers, email address, and numerous other pieces of information can be hidden in these useful blocks as well.
The real key to the initial touch is that it engages the customer, elicits to action, and results in participation in your larger multi-touch marketing program.
The importance of subsequent touches
Continued contact with the customer is the ultimate goal of any marketing program. Whether it is for additional information, registration for an upcoming conference, a coupon program, or patient compliance, having the ability to personalize each of the subsequent touches is essential. Once your customers have provided you with their information through the initial interaction, it will be important to show them you have taken the time (albeit automated time) to personalize each subsequent contact to their specific requests and needs.
Taking that next step can improve the response and, most importantly, the connection with the customer. The pharmaceutical industry offers great examples when it comes to coordinating multiple media campaigns. For instance, let's look at one campaign that addressed a specific drug known to take several months to see an impact on the disease and subsequently showed a low patient compliance to remain on the treatment.
Utilizing the patient education web page, the brand team was able to personalize the information booklets that were sent to the requesting patients. This was done not only with their name, but also imagery around their specific disease state and around some basic demographics (i.e. male or female). From there they were able to assist compliance through a premium touch of a spiral bound calendar with disease state and product information on each month's page. Additionally, during the initial touch they asked when the patient had begun treatment. From this information they included suggested refill, doctor visit, and testing reminders into the calendar for the patient, allowing for ease of use and an increase in compliance.
The road to engagement
When considering launching a customer-centric campaign, marketers should take several items into consideration, whether you do it in-house or choose a third-party partner. It is important to seek a solution that supports an end-to-end program—from print to email to fulfillment to reporting—all while ensuring regulatory compliance is met. Not only are savings maximized across the multiple touches and media outreach, but having the ability to automate the entire campaign process affords more time to be spent on building and enhancing customer relationships.
Having the opportunity to speak more directly to customers' needs and wants has advanced through technology, and as the customer becomes savvier—expecting personalization in all their interactions—mass messaging will very soon become a thing of the past. Keeping your customer-centric campaigns focused and truly coordinated through the pre-planning and implementation process will open the door to greater customer loyalty and subsequent return on your marketing investments.

A scrap metal carrier is the first convicted in Wiltshire under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act (2013) for failing to be a registered scrap metal dealer in the county.
Joseph Stewart McPhee was stopped by police in Chippenham on February 18 after a member of the public reported the vehicle and occupants while it was collecting scrap metal in the Yewstock Crescent area of Chippenham.
When stopped, the vehicle being used by Mr McPhee was loaded to such an extent that items at the rear of the van were not visible behind larger objects such as washing machines and engine gearboxes.
Mr McPhee, of Sibbald Brae in Bathgate, Scotland, failed to appear at North West Magistrates' Court, Chippenham, on July 7 and was convicted in his absence.
He was convicted of failing to be registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier under the Control of Pollution (Amendment) Act (1989) and convicted of operating as a scrap metal dealer (collector) in Wiltshire, without being a licensed collector.
Mr McPhee was fined £1,500, ordered to pay £200 costs and a victim surcharge of £120.
From October 2013, all scrap metal dealers in Wiltshire had to be licensed with Wiltshire Council either as a site or as a collector, which allows them to legally trade to collect, transport and dispose of scrap metal.
No transactions can take place for cash and the public are advised to be extremely cautious of 'cash for scrap' operators within the county. They must ensure they do not hand any items to anyone without asking to see their scrap metal dealers licence and waste carriers licence, which must be held by legitimate operators.
Any vehicle used to collect scrap metal, must have the licence clearly displayed in the windscreen of the vehicle and a photograph identifying the collector displayed on the licence.
Licensed site collectors will always arrange collection prior to removal via pre-arranged appointments.
Anyone concerned that they may have been approached by an illegal trader can call Wiltshire Council on 0300 456 0100 to speak with the scrap metal enforcement team, who can quickly check if collectors or sites are licensed.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh)
Allah's Discourse with the Prophet Moses (pbuh)
When the Prophet Moses (pbuh) went up to the fire on the mountain, he encountered a miracle. He was addressed by Allah from a bush. There, he received the first revelations, stated in the Qur'an as follows:
But when he reached it a voice called out to him from the right hand side of the valley in the part which was full of blessing, from out of the bush: "Moses, I am Allah, the Lord of all the worlds." (Surat al-Qasas: 30)
Then when he reached it, a voice called out, "Moses! I am your Lord. Take off your sandals. You are in the holy valley of Tuwa. I have chosen you, so listen well to what is revealed. I am Allah. There is no god but Me, so worship Me and establish prayer to remember Me." (Surah Ta-Ha: 11-14)
This was the first revelation the Prophet Moses (pbuh) received, honouring him as Allah's messenger, the highest rank that a human can attain in this world.
An important issue deserves attention here; Allah addresses the Prophet Moses (pbuh) ... Allah had called onto the Prophet Moses (pbuh) from a tree. Allah was close enough to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) as to address him directly. The truth however is, Allah is always close enough to address anybody. For instance, as you read these lines, Allah is close to you. He is close enough to speak to you, to hear your voice and make you hear His voice. He is always close enough to hear our every word. He can hear us even if we whisper.
Allah relates this fact in the Qur'an as "We are nearer to him than his jugular vein."(Surah Qaf: 16) After telling the Prophet Moses (pbuh) that the voice he hears belongs to our Lord, Allah asked him about his staff:
"What is that in your right hand, Moses?" He said, "It is my staff. I lean on it and beat down leaves for my sheep with it and have other uses for it." (Surah Ta-Ha: 17-18)
No doubt Allah had known what the Prophet Moses (pbuh) held in his hand. However, to edify the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and make known His wisdom to him, Allah asked him to throw down his staff:
"Throw down your staff." Then when he saw it slithering like a snake he turned and fled and did not turn back again... (Surat an-Naml: 10)
When the Prophet Moses (pbuh) saw his familiar staff turned into a snake, he was seized with fear. However, this event was created to be a lesson by which Allah taught the Prophet Moses (pbuh) to feel no fear except for Him, and to submit to no one other than Him:
…"Have no fear, Moses. In My Presence the Messengers have no fear." (Surat an-Naml: 10)
He said, "Take hold of it and have no fear. We will return it to its original form." (Surah Ta-Ha: 21)
In compliance with the command, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) picked up his staff. This staff would later become a miracle used against Pharaoh. Thereafter, Allah gave the Prophet Moses (pbuh) a second miracle:
Put your hand inside your shirt front. It will emerge pure white yet quite unharmed… (Surat al-Qasas: 32)
As the verse above relates, the second miracle Allah granted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) is the emergence of the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) hand pure white, as a miracle from Allah. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) became excited and felt frightened by these things. However Allah commanded him not to fear and go forth with these miracles to Pharaoh:
… And hug your arms to your sides to still your fear. These are two proofs from your Lord for Pharaoh and his ruling circle. They are a deviant people. (Surat al-Qasas:32)

General term for any small object, action figure, or toy, that is passed from person to person while playing a board game. When a person possesses the Turn Cow then it is their turn, when their turn is complete they then pass the Turn Cow onto the next player. The use of a Turn Cow may help players avoid missing their turn and will help them to keep track of whose turn is next.
After returning from a snack break while playing Monopoly, we had forgotten whose turn it was, so we checked to see who had the Turn Cow. The Turn Cow was sitting in front Jimmy's seat so we knew that it was his turn.

YORK Acorn ARLC 'A' turned in a lacklustre performance as they lost 26-6 at Hunslet Warriors in their opening match of the Yorkshire Men's League premier division season.
Down 16-6 at half-time, Acorn's points came from a Kyle Brown try and a Tony Shepherd conversion. Things did not improve in the second period as the Blue and Golds toiled away for no reward.
Tony Shepherd took the man of the match award but Josh Mortimer, Martin McTigue and Tom Wilcox-Harrison all had good matches.
New Earswick All Blacks pushed second-placed Upton all the way but were defeated 36-34 in the Pennine League Championship.
Upton took the lead with a unconverted try, but All Blacks hit back to take the lead when Adam Kirby collected a Liam Gargan kick and Gargan added the extras.
Luke Morton crossed after quick hands down the line created space and Gargan converted, and Morton's second score, also converted, stretched the lead.
Upton bagged a converted try, but All Blacks' Dean Layton went over and Gargan goaled. A try and penalty for Upton made it 24-16 at half-time.
A trio of converted tries and a penalty - punctuated by a 20 minute stoppage for an Upton injury - put the visitors in control.
Steve Doswell crossed for the White Rose Avenue hosts before Jack Stearman powered his way over under the posts for Gargan to convert, but All Blacks came up agonisingly short.
The All Blacks man of the match was Reece Blake, backed up by Luke Morton and Jack Carling.
Selby Warriors 'A' are fifth in division seven of the Pennine League after a 32-18 home victory over Illingworth 'A'.

"My mother-in-law wanted a conventional announcement-type and this was perfect. We would have preferred that this was not a post-card style, so we were able to work with the design team to remove the mailing portion on the back so that we could place these in envelopes. They came out beautifully! Actually, the cards themselves, the customer service and the ease of ordering all exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this card type and Wedding Paper Divas themselves."
"I received my elopement announcements yesterday in the mail. Just beautiful...awesome quality. Service was speedy and perfect! Thank you!"
"Loved this cute little post card for a simple announcement, liked the design, happy with our order as is. Good paper quality, colors are true to online example. Great product, will be ordering invites."
"I loved that I could enlarge and reposition the photo we had chosen for the card. Being able to put text on the back of the card provided us a way to give details about a family picnic without dealing with response cards, tissue paper, etc. The best feature of this particular card is that it only requires standard postage! The card stock is of excellent quality, and we received it on the date requested. We have also heard from friends who found it to be a most beautiful invitation. The design truly captured the essence of a destination wedding in Hawaii."
"This site makes doing your invitations super easy and affordable. We were beyond impressed with the quality we received. We will absolutely be using Wedding Paper Divas again!"

Etymology: New Latin mastodont-, mastodon, from Greek mastos + odont-, odOn, odous tooth -- more at TOOTH
1 : any of numerous extinct mammals (genus Mastodon syn. Mammut) that differ from the related mammoths and existing elephants chiefly in the form of the molar teeth
2 : one that is unusually large
Knowing that mastos in Greek means breast and odontos means tooth, does that mean that the mastodon is an animal with a tooth on its breast?

When I was in Portland recently, I tasted turnips for the first time without thinking they were just another form of rutabaga – in other words – old, starchy tubers.
The pickled turnips I ate at Nedd Ludd restaurant were small, tender and sweet; a revelation.
A few days later I took some home from the farmer's market, tiny, bright garnet – colored babies that looked very much like radishes.
I cooked them simply, inspired by Julia Child. After blanching them briefly I cooked them again in a skillet until they were glazed in caramelized butter.
I liked them so much I was inspired to post the recipe on my other blog, Dinner with Julia. It's been months since I've had a chance to do that…go check it out for the recipe.
Happy Birthday, Julia!
- 2 bunches small turnips (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup stock or water
- Sea salt and pepper
- Wash the turnips and trim the greens, if attached, and reserve for steaming or sauteeing, if desired.
- If the turnips are young and tender, there is no need to peel, otherwise peel larger turnips and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Blanch the turnips in a small saucepan of boiling, salted water for about 5 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Drain.
- Melt the butter in a skillet and add the sugar. Add the turnips and stock and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring now and then, until the turnips are coated with the glaze and nicely caramelized.
- Season with some sea salt and black pepper before serving.

'The Yearling,' an enduring story of Cracker Florida, 75 years later
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 6:17 p.m.
In 1938, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings captivated readers with her tale of a North Florida boy who raises a fawn over the course of a year.
If you go
"The Year of the Yearling: Celebrating a Literary Classic": A series of public events through May 31, 2014, that celebrate Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Yearling."
Kickoff: An exhibit of movie photos and mounted wildlife, 7-7:30 p.m. Sunday, Matheson Museum, 513 E. University Ave., followed by free screening of "The Yearling" at 7:30 p.m. on the lawn behind the museum. The exhibit runs through May 1.
"The Year of the Yearling: The Author Creating the Book": Florence Turcotte, Anne Pierce and Betty Jean Steinshouer discuss Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and her times, 7 p.m. Friday, Matheson Museum. Free.
Event schedule: www.floridastateparks.org/marjoriekinnanrawlings/events.cfm
Seventy-five years later, "The Yearling" still makes appearances on summer reading lists, and Rawlings' depiction of the fictional Baxter family's life in "Cracker Florida" remains popular among children and adults.
Over the next year, the Matheson Museum, University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries, the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Society and the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park are teaming up to celebrate the book's publication in April 1938 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (then called the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel) it won in April the following year.
"The Year of the Yearling: Celebrating a Literary Classic" kicks off at 7 p.m. Sunday with a free exhibit and screening of "The Yearling" at the Matheson Museum, and continues with other events through May 2014.
"We're really celebrating the book from publication to Pulitzer," said Florence Turcotte, a literary manuscripts archivist at the Smathers Libraries. "The story takes place in a year, from April to April, and we thought it would give people a lot of opportunities to participate."
"The Yearling," which also was named the best-selling novel of 1938, tells the story of Jody Baxter, a boy growing up in the Florida scrub in the late 19th century who adopts a fawn that he names Flag.
In 1946, MGM adapted the novel into a critically acclaimed movie starring Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman. The movie was filmed at the Juniper Prairie Wilderness in the Ocala National Forest.
Sunday's exhibit features several stuffed versions of animal characters from "The Yearling" as well as several translated copies of the book and miniature copies that were given to World War II soldiers, who would keep the books in their pockets during the war.
"The items have been put together in a fashion that diverges into Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' life," said Alicia Antone, executive director of the Matheson Museum. "This is our way of honoring a legacy that came right out of our backyard."
Turcotte said the novel's theme of growing up is highly relatable to adolescents.
"We're calling the book a literary classic because it's assigned to middle school students, but the book can speak to adults as well," Turcotte said. "People can relate to it on different levels."
The Matheson Museum also will host "The Yearling: The Author Creating the Book" on Friday. During this program, Turcotte and Anne Pierce, vice president of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Society, will discuss how Rawlings came to write the book, as well as the people and places involved in its creation.
Turcotte said a real draw for the event will be actress Betty Jean Steinshouer, who will portray the author in her own words and talk about being a female writer in the 1930s.
While Steinshouer is in character, guests will be able to interact with her and ask questions.
"It brings the voice of the author to life, to the present time," Turcotte said. "It's an entertaining way of learning about the creative writing process."
Born on Aug. 8, 1896, in Washington, D.C., Rawlings became interested in writing at an early age. She received a degree in English from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1918 and wrote for The Louisville Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky., and The Rochester Journal in Rochester, N.Y.
While she and her first husband, Charles Rawlings, were living in Rochester, they took a vacation to Cross Creek in 1928. From then, it was no looking back.
"The people and landscape resonated with her, as well as the plants and animals," said Valerie Rivers, park manager at Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park. "She wanted to know the meanings and names of everything around her."
That same year, with a small inheritance from her mother, Rawlings purchased a 72-acre orange grove in Cross Creek where she lived until her death in 1953.
Her house is now an attraction in the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park, which draws more than 20,000 visitors each year, Rivers said.
Since "The Yearling" is set in the 1870s, Rawlings did research for the novel by talking to locals about what life was like then, she said.
If Rawlings were alive today, Rivers said she probably wouldn't be surprised that her book is still popular.
"I think she was surprised at the time that it became so popular so quickly, but not that it endured," she said. "She wanted to write a classic novel that would hold its own in the long run."

Saturday, 8 January 1944
447th BS War Diary: 7 of our ships took part in a raid on the railroad junction and yards at Metkovic, Yugoslavia. The target was well covered and the flak was practically nil. As the formation was on the route home, it was attacked by 9 German fighters. The attackers were very aggressive and persistent and concentrated on one of our ships which was being flown by Lt. Trevor. His plane had dropped behind due to a mechanical failure of the left engine and the fighters succeeded in knocking it down. The fighters tagged the formation almost to the Italian coast. Members of this crew were: Lt. G.J. Trevor, pilot, Lt. J.E. Briskey, Jr., Co-pilot, Lt. A.L. Kingsley, bombardier, Cpl J.H. Jeffrey, engineer, S/Sgt. J.C. Mays, radio-gunner, and Sgt. J.M.

After years of navigating product certifications and third-party labels, A&D professionals can finally certify themselves as green with the help of a new protocol from NSF.
There's some good news for A&D firms looking for a competitive edge: Designers and architects can now market their services as "more sustainable," and have a certification mark to prove it. It's called the NSF General Sustainability Assessment Criteria for Services and Service Providers Protocol 391 (P391), and it applies to interior design and architectural firms, as well as a host of other service providers, including engineers, plumbers, contractors and consultants.
This new certification promises to help design professionals stand out in a crowded marketplace, and will be of particular benefit to firms seeking to work with government agencies and environmentally minded organizations.
why certify?
NSF developed the protocol in response to the President Obama's October 2009 Executive Order (EO) 13514, which requires federal agencies to establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in purchased goods and services for the federal government. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has supported the protocol, stating that it (and an eventual standard created from it) could be used to provide recognition of services that comply with EO 13514.
"The A&D services industry is just one of the many industries that could benefit from the NSF P391 protocol as a tool for compliance for Executive Order 13514," says Brennan M. Conaway, procurement analyst for the Program Analysis Division of the GSA. "We intend to participate in the standards development process in transforming this protocol to an American National Standard."
According to American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Senior Associate of Sustainable Design Lori Tugman, Allied ASID, LEED GA, "Incorporating business practices into the equation is the missing piece of the full-circle sustainability puzzle. Up until now, we were able to quantify green interiors and sustainable products, but not the design firm who created them or the service provider who installed them. P391 will help interior designers distinguish
themselves in the marketplace
and ultimately contribute to their company's bottom line."
Service providers certified to NSF P391 can differentiate their services and achieve preferred vendor status with government agencies and companies seeking more sustainable operating solutions. Designers and architects can choose to certify their own organizations, or use the protocol to identify and source sustainable services for their practices and projects.
Jeff Olsen of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection served as chair of the
consensus committee that developed NSF P391. "Both manufacturers and service providers have been quick to recognize that subscribing to sustainable operations can provide a decided edge in the marketplace," he says. "Adhering to third-party verified sustainability standards like NSF P391
levels the playing field by allowing contracting
and procurement agents to specify sustainable goods and services fairly, and helps to assure vendors that their commitment to sustainability is recognized and rewarded."
how is sustainability measured?
NSF P391 includes criteria that address environmental, economic, and social impacts of services and the practices of service providers. There are prerequisites as well as "optional" criteria that evaluate these practices. Certification to the protocol is based on three key areas:
"This protocol gives structure to what we are all trying to do," says Holly Baird, IIDA, LEED AP, ID&C, president of IIDA's Tennessee Chapter and a registered interior designer for the State of Tennessee Department of General Services. "As designers, our first step was to become a LEED AP. Then we tried to find ways to affect bigger change by recycling and 'greening' our libraries. This new protocol is the next step, in that it gives us objectives that are specific, measureable, achievable, relevant and time-sensitive. It identifies those who are walking the walk, not just talking the talk.
where to begin?
The first step is to select a certification body such as NSF International Sustainability that reviews the data, reports, policies and other documentation
showing the company meets the protocol. An organization must meet all of the prerequisite criteria to achieve conformant certification. Once the prerequisites are met, Silver, Gold and Platinum certification levels are determined by how many of the optional criteria have been achieved.
Christy Gray, chief marketing officer for BeeDance, believes the new protocol will help fuel programs such as BeeDance's ZeroLandfill, which has been collecting expired product samples from A&D libraries and repurposing them since 2006. "We hope to achieve a million pounds in repurposed samples this year," she says. "We collect in 18 markets and provide the materials for K-12 art curriculum and college-level interior design and art programs."
"Most businesses want the sustainable piece of the puzzle to be part of their business story," says Perkins+Will Interior Project Designer Ashley Barnett Griffith, RID, LEED AP, BD+C, IIDA, EDAC. She notes that the protocol should be easy to embrace for designers accustomed to working with product certifications, and that it provides a framework to document what interior design firms like Perkins+Will are already doing. "I'm part of a green team that's involved in initiatives like creating competitions between the offices to see which can create the least amount of waste. I worked with ZeroLandfill and IIDA on events to collect interiors samples and upcycle them to classrooms in the community. At our last event, we took in 30,000 pounds of materials that would otherwise go to the landfill."
what's next?
NSF's National Center for Sustainability Standards is soliciting stakeholders to help take the protocol to the next step: an American National Standard. Participants are needed from architecture and design firms, as well as from the consulting, engineering, plumbing, building contracting, maintenance and installation fields. Interested service providers or their trade associations may become involved in the process by contacting email@example.com. Organizations that have certified to the NSF P391 protocol and have a current, valid certification will have the option to transition to the ANSI standard once it is finalized.
For information on the NSF Sustainable Service Providers Protocol 391, go to www.nsf.org/info/nsfserviceprotocol/, or contact NSF International at (734) 476-2543 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mindy Costello is a sustainability standards specialist for the National Center of Sustainability Standards at NSF International. In addition to helping develop NSF's new service provider protocol, she has helped develop sustainability standards for resilient flooring, business furniture, dimension stone, carpet, water, wastewater and greener chemicals. She can be contacted at email@example.com.

Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here
| Posted by LA Phil Staff in London
Gustavo walks onto the Barbican stage to start the final London performance of the LA Phil's 2013 tour.
Well, the London leg of the LA Phil's 2013 Tour is very nearly in the books. After the week the LA Phil has had - last night's European premiere of John Adams' The Gospel According to the Other Mary; the three-day Future Play Symposium at the Barbican Centre that culminated in the rousing, moving Discover Dudamel event; and the first-ever Green Umbrella new music program played on foreign soil - a program that consists of favorites like Debussy's La mer and Stravinsky's The Firebird can feel downright comforting.
It's still work, though, and the musicians and staff that make up the tour can attest to that wholeheartedly. But when you get moments like friend of the Phil and Holllywood Bowl favorite Bramwell Tovey calling last night's performance of The Gospel an "#IwasThere event" on Twitter, maybe it feels like the work put into it was worth it. And, like Tovey suggests in his inimitable fashion, those who were there will remember it; those who weren't will long to have seen it; and those who put it together wish everyone else who made it happen could be there to share it.
LA Phil crew member Chris Duarte serendaes the assembled staff and crew with a snippet of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here from the Barbican stage.
London concert 17 March
It was a wowser! Vast array of dynamics, playing of togetherness. Pledase come back soon!
Other Mary at the Barbican
We wish we could have been there, too. We saw the first performance at Disney last year and were blown away then. I am so glad London audiences got to experience this marvelous work, performed by the fabulous musicians who know it best.

Even though the temperature outside is freezing, maybe you'll get a warm feeling knowing that the Mets players will start their Spring Training in six weeks.
Pitchers and catchers are due to report on Feb. 18, followed by position players on Feb. 23. They'll have their first full workout two days later.
This means they only have a few weeks to make a pitch, pun intended, for a catcher and a top-of-the-rotation starter.
It's too early to get excited, at least for me. Ask me again at the end of February.

• borborygm •
Pronunciation: bor-bê-rig-êm • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: Grumbling of the bowels, the rumbling of the stomach after eating.
Notes: If you wish to speak medically, you can call this embarrassing sound a borgorymus, too. If you do, you have to remember that the plural is borborygmi. If you use our short form, you may simply say borborygms The adjective is borborygmic and borborology is the scientific study of the problem; however, up to the 17th century it meant "profanity". If you don't want your borborygms to go to waste, you might try a little after dinner gastromancy.
In Play: Today's word is the perfect word for the sound it names, a fact that has attracted writers for ages. Aldous Huxley complained about "the stertorous borborygms of the dyspeptic Carlyle" and Nabokov noted that "all the toilets and waterpipes in the house had been suddenly seized with borborygmic convulsions." Elizabeth Fenwick wrote in Long Way Down (1959), "The room was very quiet, except for its borborygmic old radiator."
Word History: This Good if funny Word came to us from Greek borborygmos via Latin to French borborygme, where English picked it up. It is clearly onomatopoetic, the imitation of a real sound in the sound of the word that names it. It is odd the French and English did not simplify this word to borborism, as the Greeks themselves ultimately did. (We hope Luciano Eduardo de Oliveira, who suggested today's word, happily digests his meals today without borborygmic accompaniment.)

Ok, I am looking at offering an email marketing service for my clients. I have looked into being a white label reseller from email marketing providers and to be honest the ones that offer white label reselling do not give me the flexibility that I need.
So, now it has come to a point that if I want to offer this to my clients it needs to be custom built. Ok, so programming it is easy however here is where my concerns come in:
How can 1 run an email marketing service without it getting blacklisted due to scammers and spammers? Are there any resources for running your own email marketing service business?
Please shed some light on this issue.
frankly I wouldn't bother, there are several good providers like campaign monitor and mail chimp.
What are your requirements that make these unsuitable?
Certainly charging money is a good way to keep spammers out, but I think it could be a serious problem trying to keep off the blacklists (even with honest clients) without having some kind of relationship with the big email providers.
Yes I am aware of this,
One of the main issues is importing the the script / service into my own business infrastructure and the lack of customization to make it my own brand for my clients is the issue. Ive only found one that fits the requirements and the pricing is not the structure I am looking for.
I am looking for tips on how to go about doing this, not why I should not do this. I am going to do this even if a few people say I should not do it.
I just found a new service, hopefully the pricing is in line with requirements if so there will be no need to code my own from scratch.
I would think someone like Campaign Monitor would fit the bill for you - or if not it would be easier to work with them to get the features you need than starting from scratch.
If it's a good resource...why not share it here for others who may be looking for the same?
Ive looked at campaign monitor however their pricing is outrageous. Ive been looking at 2 reliable providers that charge roughly $1 per 1,000 email sent with no subscriber limit. Also the lack of customization with Campaign Monitor made them another reason not to use them.
know email marketing it's not effective, if compare with facebook marketing. it's just my opinion
E-mail marketing is a form of direct marketing which uses electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or fund-raising messages to an audience. In its sense, every e-mail sent to a potential or current customer could be considered e-mail marketing.
Each time I recieve such e-mails I consider it spam and don't even read them. So is it really effective?
As someone who uses email marketing yes it is very effective in terms of conversion costs.
Sure the conversion numbers are dramatically lower if it is done like cold calling however some emails will be opened giving your business another person becoming aware of you. For me on one of the projects the cost per customer was $19 while PPC "focused" was $27.
Also, email marketing has a very high open rate for those who have subscribed to your business "intentionally" to get news and updates if it is resourceful they will continue opening them and most likely not opt out while at the same time you can upsell in the email.
So yes, email marketing is very effective.
In regards to the response of facebook, that was not brought up into question here however yes what you have said is true.
Businesses however need to realize that in order to succeed they need to use a wide variety of tools and services. In fact depending on your audience Radio and TV advertising is the cheapest route to acquire new customers.
Dotmailer is out of the question with their high fees however a service provider has been found that im working with.
Recently I have opened my business in direct mailing and in this I do custom direct mail design. I want to know what is the difference between direct mail or normal email which one is best in marketing techniques.
I have been using Email M which is the best email marketing service provider.
No doubt the E-mail marketing is that fastest and the cheapest method of marketing. But there are still few people who do not work with internet. In this case direct mail marketing is the best idea for marketing. If these methods will be used together, it will be a successful method.
I think using multiple ip addresses would help and making sure that you use a throttle to keep mass amounts of messages from hitting the popular online mail sites like gmail all at once will definitely help keep you out of black lists. Sounds like you are putting together a great service, wishing you the best of luck with your future endeavor.
Use the third party Email hosting services, I like Aweber i have personally used it.It has complete control over Email list.
If I were You I would tell the clients they should use Twitter G+ and other social platforms. E-mail marketing doesn't appear to be efficient these days. I got much more leads from Twitter then from e-mailing given both the same effort and amount of time.
While email marketing is not the sure fire tool it was years ago, across the board is still ranks as the top ROI of any interactive program. What experience or stats have you seen to lead you away from it?
I think e-mail marketing is not really 'interacting'
Of course, not it's a one way communication strategy but that doesn't mean it can't produce results.
Engagement is a great development in how we do business and how our customers connect with us but it doesn't make other communication obsolete... people still sign up for email lists, go to google to search, walk into stores because of a coupon.

I recently purchased what I think is a model of a steam engine and how it operates. The only writing on the object is "Deal Courtney & Frankenfield Balanced Slide Valve Pat. Aug. 14 1883." I would just like to know a little more about the history of this object and what it may have been used for. I know it's related to steam power in some way. It's approx. 2ft. long with an 11 inch flywheel and the valve is approx. 5in.

Diarrhea results in increased loss of electrolytes and water in the feces of calves and decreases milk intake. Ultimately, this process causes dehydration, metabolic acidosis (the blood is more acidic than it should be), electrolyte abnormalities including sodium deficiency, and a negative energy balance from the lost nutrients and lack of milk.
Oral electrolyte solutions have typically been used to replace fluid losses, correct acid-base and electrolyte levels in the blood, and provide nutritional support with the added benefit of being relatively inexpensive and easy to administer.
Recent research has elicited better methods to assess and treat a calf with diarrhea as well as better guidelines for choosing an oral electrolyte solution, says Michelle Arnold, extension veterinarian with the University of Kentucky. Faster and more accurate diagnostic tests have also been developed to uncover the underlying cause of the diarrhea. Rapid diagnosis is critical to develop the best treatment options and to prevent future outbreaks.

Best BBQ Joint: Tom's
Location: Chandler, AZ
Tom's has several locations, and used to have one here in Casa Grande. Aside from the pink vans, decorated to look like pigs, their menu is fairy simple. They serve the most mouth-watering, melt-in-your-mouth, beef, pork, chicken and ribs, and have a full complement of side dishes that make a BBQ meal well worth the comparatively small price one pays.
Like any REAL good BBQ joint, tou would swear when you enter the place that it had had a fire recently , from all the real slow smokey metgod of making their superior chow.
If you are ever near the Phoenix metro area, it is well worth the effort to look up a Tom's, eat your fill of great barbecue vittles, then go see the Diamondbacks play.

Benjamin Marble (1725 – 1800) of Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts
3 Dec 2013 — Bolton, Worcester, Massachusetts
Benjamin Marble was born in 1725 in Stow, Middlesex County, Massachusetts to Joseph Marble and Hannah Keyes. On 19 February 1742, Benjamin Marble of Lancaster, a minor (age 17), chose James Keys (Benjamin's maternal Grandfather) of Bolton as his guardian. Benjamin stated that he was the son of Joseph MARBLE, late of Lancaster. James Keys filed a guardian bond on the same day, with Caleb Wilder and David Wilder of Lancaster as sureties. Jonathan Houghton and Abel Wilder witnessed the bond. From this record, Benjamin MARBLE's birth date can be calculated to 1725, and his father is definitely identified as Joseph MARBLE." The guardian records can be found in the probate records; volume 102, p. 77. FHL Film #859338 and volume 199, p. 269. FHL Film #860636.
Four years later, James Keyes passes away on 25 September 1746 in Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Benjamin Marble's maternal ancestry through the surnames of Keyes, Divoll, and White include ancestors held captive and killed by Indians. Also two great grandfathers fought in King Philip's War. So most probable, as a boy, Benjamin heard stories from his father about the Salem Witch Trials and stories from his mother about Indian raids.
Like the lead character in the movie, "The Patriot", portrayed by Mel Gibson, Benjamin Marble, a father of a large family, participates in some military campaigns of the French and Indian War. Then duty to country calls upon him again on 19 Apr 1775, (age 50), the father of eleven children, marches within Colonel John Whitcomb's Regiment, Massachusetts Militia to Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the Lexington Alarm, the first battle of the American Revolution.
A resident of Bolton, Massachusetts, Benjamin Marble's (or Marbel) Military Service is documented within the book, "The Military Annals of Lancaster, Massachusetts, 1740 – 1865" by Henry Stedman Nourse on the following pages: 27, 36, 71, 75, and 115.

(The following year, on 5 October 1749, Benjamin Marble marries Martha Goss in Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Between the year 1750 and 1771, Benjamin and Martha (Goss) Marble had eleven children; all the children were born in Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. )
Pg. 36
During the Crown Point Expedition of 1755, of the French and Indian War, in March 1755, Corporal Benjamin Marble (age 30) appears on the muster roll of Captain Joseph Whitcomb's Company. Whitcomb's Company is one of three companies of a regiment commanded by Colonel Timothy Ruggles, the regiment suffered severely in the battle of Lake George, September 8, 1755.

Pg. 75
During the Conquest of Canada (1758 – 1763, the fourth war of the four French and Indian Wars, in 1759, Benjamin Marble (age 34) is one of 16 "men from Bolton" in Captains Aaron Willard Company of Lancaster men, under Colonel Timothy Ruggle's Regiment.
Pg. 115
During the War for National Independence, during the Lexington Alarm, the first battle of the American Revolution, on 19 Apr 1775, Private Benjamin Marble (age 50) within Capt. Benjamin Hastings's Company, Col. John Whitcomb's Regiment, of three companies from Bolton (including Berlin district) marched to Cambridge at the Lexington Alarm; a total of one hundred and twenty-seven men.

Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic All-in-One Healing Skin Cream Reviews
AmazingI had developed some sort of rash on my eyebrows ...dry and flaky which was a bit inflamed and seemed to come out of nowhere. I dont have sensitive skin nor have I ever experienced this, but I was a little hesitant to go to the dermatologist in fear that they would recommend something too strong. I did some research online and saw review after review about this cream and egyptian magic...I got bot...read moreh. I tried this one on the dry spots and they were gone in 2 days. amazing. Now I just use this on elbows, on my face (though I have to powder after so there's no shine), tips of my hair...it's like an all purpose salve that I highly recommend. There is no real scent to it so you can use it in excess or as little as you want ( a little goes a long way). I definitely recommend to anyone as it heals better than even neosporin or anti bacterial creams. EXCELLENT! — 4 years, 3 months agosprout117 | 221 reviews

Amazing multipurposeLove this!! I was originally looking for the egyptian magic but my whole foods didnt carry it. I had heard that this was pretty much the same thing but cheaper so i picked some up to try. I am totally impressed and this has taken the place of many other products. I use it as a facial moisturizer which at first i was scared of because the bee magic comes as a kind of block but as soon as your finge...read morers touch it it melts to an oil. I didnt want it to break me out but if anything it has helped clear my face and keep it soft and glowy and NOT greasy which was important to me. i can put it on before doing my makeup and it looks perfect and not crazy shiny. i also use it as a highlighter over makeup sometimes on my cheekbones and on my lips as a super moisturizing lip balm. Another way i have used this is on my feet at night. Just rub it on and cover with a pair of socks and in the morning there are no cracks or rough patches. Can also be used (sparingly) on the ends of damp hair after a shower which i find helps keep my hair frizz free. I also use on my eyelashes at night when putting it on my face and ive noticed they are growing more and stronger. Ive heard a lot of ways people use this product but these are just mine =) overall i would definitely recommend. A great product to have around and im very happy i bought it! — 4 years, 8 months agoahbee91 | 3 reviews
