Hello all,
I created a flash banner at Banner Snack and uploaded it to google adwords. After it was accepted it went live on a specific website. I noticed it was receving lots of impressions but no clicks. I then went to the website it was being advertised on and clicked on it, to my surprise my internet explorer blocked the new page (my website) saying it was a pop up.
I then read bits on the internet about making the settings of the banner to anything but _blank, so I changed the settings to every option including _self and tested it. Still the same problem, pop up blocked!
Can anyone help me get my flash banner to act like any other banner on the net and for it not to get blocked by a pop up blocker!
Here is the link to the banner: http://www.yourresources.co.uk/BANNER-EDIT.swf
So if you can help can it will be really appreciated.
If someone can do it for me I am willing to pay a small fee too.
Thanks & regards,
_self will not initiate a pop up, what is the exact actionscript you are using?
Thanks for your reply.
I have just checked on BannerSnack website and I believe it is AS3, does that mean anything because I will be honest with you, it doesnt to me. I used bannersnack as I do not have experience in banner making.

Bipartisan panel grills Wall Street CEOs
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Top bank executives defended their bonus and compensation practices to a special commission investigating the 2008 financial collapse Wednesday, but the head of the panel asserted that risky financial actions led to devastating consequences for American families.
Phil Angelides, chairman of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, told the CEOs of top U.S. banks that Americans are angry and "they have a right to be."
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., told the panel that most of his employees took "significant cuts in compensation" in 2008.
He said his bank would continue to pay employees in a "responsible and disciplined manner" to attract and keep the best talent.
He was joined by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chairman-CEO Lloyd Blankfein, CEO James Dimon, Morgan Stanley Chairman John Mack and Bank of American Corp. CEO-President Brian Moynihan.
The panel is holding hearings at a time of rising public fury over bankers and bailouts.

THE secular Muslim world is finding itself in a real knot - and in Turkey, it has everything to do with a piece of cloth tied under a woman's chin.
Lawmakers from the ruling Islamist party and their allies have voted to actually amend Turkey's constitution to allow the wearing of the Islamic head scarf in universities. Now a piece of cloth threatens to divide the country, as scores hold fast to the secularism on which Mustafa Kemal Ataturk founded the republic.
"We will never allow our country to be dragged back into the dark ages," said Canan Aritman of the main opposition Republican People's Party, which was founded by Ataturk himself in 1923. Opposition leader Deniz Baykal said Sunday that they would appeal to the Constitutional Court to annul the amendments.
Suspicion has run high for a long time that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party have been trying to chip away at Turkey's traditional secularist mantle. Previously, Erdogan had tried to criminalize adultery, a peculiar step as Turkey has been trying to prove itself worthy of joining the European Union.
Do proponents of keeping the head-scarf ban relish the thought of limiting religious expression? No. They're operating out of a real fear of the snowball effect in which Islamic movements have pressured those perceived to be less pious to follow their interpretation of Islam.
In other words, they fear those who will see it as their religious duty to ensure that women cover up.
"The heads of many girls are shaved by their brothers to force them to wear head scarves," Turkish opposition lawmaker Nesrin Baytok said.
And we see what's happened in places like Iran, where top cleric Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said in December, "Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die."
In Iraq, women who don't wear the head scarf face outrageous threats. "Next time, I want to see you wearing a hijab or I swear to God the three of you will be killed immediately," the Times of London reports a Shiite militia member telling a group of Christian girls at the entrance to a university in Basra. Iraqi journalists report of women being shot or even killed for not wearing the hijab.
This is what Turks, like the tens of thousands who marched against the constitutional change over the weekend, fear. In a secular society, they fear extremists using a personal expression of modesty as a weapon to subjugate women.
And though unique in their gateway position between the Muslim world and Europe, the Turks aren't the only ones grappling with concerns of maintaining secularism lately.
In the United Kingdom, a suggestion by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams that partial Sharia law could be allowed for use by Britain's large Muslim immigrant population has led to an uproar that has united Labour and Tories. "Arch enemy" blazed a headline in The Sun as pressure grew over the weekend for Williams to resign.
"It's a misunderstanding to suppose ... people don't have other affiliations, other loyalties which shape and dictate how they behave in society," Williams said in a BBC interview Thursday. "The law needs to take some account of that." He suggested Sharia could be used in civil cases such as marriage and financial disputes.
But what are those Sharia laws governing marriage? Wives must be obedient to husbands; a Muslim woman cannot marry a non-Muslim man, but a Muslim man can wed a non-Muslim. Young marriage ages are allowed (13 for girls in Iran), and the man has unilateral divorce rights to dissolve a marriage without cause. Men inherit twice as much as women do. In many nations practicing Sharia, women need permission from their husbands to work.
Is that actually compatible with modern society? Williams apparently believes that accepting Sharia would keep Muslims from feeling disenfranchised, but it would only serve to further stymie the sorely needed integration of the Muslim community in the U.K.
Before branding opposition to the hijab or Sharia as religious discrimination, one needs to consider the real fears of secularists who - for now - enjoy many freedoms that their brethren in the Muslim world do not.
As Yusuf Kanli wrote in Saturday's Turkish Daily News, "Will we be able to continue on the path of modernity, or are we going to be pushed to take (the) road leading to an ambiguous post-modern future?"

Chennai, March 5, 2011: Honey has been used for treating infected wounds since ancient times. Charaka and Susruta (about 800 - 200 BCE) used honey as a wound and sore dressing aid. Honey is now known to have an inhibitory effect to around 60 species of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This is mainly because of the antibacterial activity due primarily to hydrogen peroxide. However, honeys differ in their potency of antibacterial activity.
In recent years honeys from some plant species have been found to have powerful antibacterial properties. Well known among these is the manuka honey from New Zealand that is produced from nectar of Leptospermum scoparium of the Myrtaceae family. This honey is found to contain a high level of additional, non-peroxide, antibacterial components including methylglyoxal. In 2009 Tan et al.1 reported that honey produced from nectar of tualang tree (Koompassia excelsa, Fabaceae) exhibited antibacterial activity that is comparable to that for manuka honey. Likewise, a news report of Australian Broadcasting Corporation dated March 23, 2004 says that honey from jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata, Myrtaceae) tree unique to Western Australia has naturally high antibacterial properties, which could help cure particularly difficult infections like Golden Staph (Staphylococcus aureus). Honeys with non-peroxide antibacterial components are important in view of the recent reports of increasing antibiotic resistance of bacteria in treatment of wounds, ulcers and burns.
The latest in these findings is the discovery that another species of Leptospermum, namely, L. polygalifolium, provides the world's most potent antibacterial honey. Following is the news release dated March 1, 2011 of the University of Queensland, Australia.

THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, UQ News
Published: March 1, 2011
Australian honey proves to be a powerful anti-bacterial treatment
Honey sourced from an Australian native myrtle tree has been found to have the most powerful antibacterial properties of any honey in the world and could be used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections that commonly occur in hospitals and nursing homes.
A Brisbane-based research group found that Australian native myrtle honey has very high levels of the antibacterial compound, methylglyoxal (MGO), and outperforms all medicinal honeys currently available on the market, including manuka honeys.
Led by the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), which is a partnership between The University of Queensland and the Queensland Government's Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI), the research is being carried out in conjunction with The Australian Organic Honey Company & Medi Bioactive Australia.
The project to date has involved comprehensive trials with honey harvested from a native species of myrtle (Leptospermum polygalifolium), which is distributed along the Australian eastern seaboard from the south coast of NSW to Cape York.
CEO of The Australian Organic Honey Company & Medi Bioactive Australia, Carolyn MacGill, said the findings had shown antibacterial potency levels that could allow for the development of highly effective antibacterial treatments.
"We have had MGO readings in excess of 1750 mg/kg in certain batches of honey. This would make this range of honeys one of the most potent in the world," Ms MacGill said.
Honeys investigated by the research group were effective as antibacterial treatments when used in the range of 500 - 1750 mg/kg MGO to prevent growth of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a common bacterial infection in hospitals and community facilities where residents are immune-challenged such as nursing homes.
Chief researcher working on the project, QAAFI scientist Dr. Yasmina Sultanbawa, said the potency of the honeys meant that only a small amount was required to fight infection.
"The sheer strength, due to high levels of active compounds in these honeys, has meant that we have been able to completely inhibit MRSA for example in in-vitro studies with a relatively small quantity of the honey," Dr. Sultanbawa said.
"This means potential products could maintain significant levels of antibacterial activity even in surface wounds where the honey is diluted in the bed of the infection.
"The presence of MRSA in a wound is a matter of concern and MRSA-colonised wounds are an increasingly urgent problem in hospitals and nursing homes. The continued emergence of strains with resistance to antibiotics or even antiseptics adds to the difficulties of treating these infections.
"Investigations into unconventional remedies that are non-toxic and unlikely to result in resistance to the treatment, such as the QAAFI research into bioactive honeys, is very promising."
According to Ms MacGill, the potential of the honeys could ultimately result in a range of highly sought-after products.
"Our research to date has produced overwhelming results in the quest to inhibit the very common infection MRSA at very low percentage rates of application," Ms MacGill said.
"This could provide enormous benefits for Australian and international medical fraternities and their patients."

The sequel to 'Star Trek Into Darkness' will be set 'deep in space' as the USS Enterprise crew 'set off on their five-year mission.'
The crew of the USS Enterprise will explore a new world in "Star Trek 3". Director Roberto Orci said on the "Humans from Earth" podcast that the next installment would take place "deep in space," unlike J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" (2009) and "Star Trek Into Darkness" (2013) which was also co-written by Orci.
"In [Into Darkness] they set out finally where the original series started," he explained. "The first two films - especially the 2009 [Star Trek] - was an origin story. It was about them coming together. So they weren't the characters they were in the original series. They were growing into them and that continues on in the second movie. So in this movie they are closer than they are to the original series characters that you have ever seen. They have set off on their five-year mission. So their adventure is going to be in deep space."
When asked about what alien might be seen in the upcoming third entry, Orci still played it coy as quoted by Badass Digest, "The Horta is actually the villain in the next one - no - they are in deep space now, so let's see what's out there."
Of the possibility of having a gay character, he said, "It can be part of a character and not be the whole shebang...It doesn't have to be like 'South Park', like 'what have we learned today.' It can be so normalized that it just exists. I agree it can't be shoe-horned in. And it is not necessary for it to be the whole point of the thing. It is an ensemble and there is lots of people to represent so no one point of view should hog it."
"Star Trek 3" is slated for 2016.

London (Nov. 16)
The Zionist Organization was advised of the steps contemplated by the British Government in offering to the Arabs of Palestine an Agency similar to the Jewish body, a letter written by the Colonial Secretary, the Duke of Devonshire, to Sir Herbert Samuel discloses. This letter is included in the White Paper just published by the Government containing all the correspondence and dispatches regarding the Agency which the Arab leaders rejected.
"Regarding the Zionists, whose concurrence is also to be sought the most convenient course it seems, would be that I place myself in communication with the headquarters of the Zionist Organization". The Duke of Devonshire wrote. "I propose to proceed accordingly. The new arrangements will be put into immediate operation if and when the assent of the two parties is obtained".
"Concerning immigration, if the Jewish National Home is to be established, there must be reasonable facilities for the admission of Jewish settlers.

The football recruiting dead period is over and that can only mean one thing – national signing day is only a few short weeks away and Ohio State is poised to have one of the best classes in the nation again.
It also means Ohio State coaches were all over the country, yesterday, making up for lost time. As many of you are aware, recruiting is fluid and things can change quickly, especially around this time of year.
While the 2014 class and National Signing Day will steal all of the headlines, it's a crucial time of year for the coaches to build relationships with 2015 recruits.
Still, closing out the 2014 class is Ohio State's primary objective, right now, and a few new names are beginning to appear for the last few spots. At this point, Ohio State is primarily focused on offensive linemen, defensive linemen, and possibly a tight end. Ohio OL Brady Taylor picked up an offer earlier this week and, yesterday, Ohio State followed that up with a new defensive line target.
Defensive Line situation
As Birm wrote in the forums last night, Ohio State made a new scholarship offer yesterday - to 3-star defensive end Darius Slade. Slade committed to Nebraska back in early December, but de-committed last night, coinciding with Ohio State offering him a scholarship.
However, in a somewhat surprising move Slade committed to Michigan State today. The Spartans were Slade's leader back in November, so this didn't come out of nowhere but it's a tough loss for the Buckeyes.
So what's next for the Buckeyes? I think they would like to add another defensive lineman to the class with Solomon Thomas, Malik McDowell and Derrick Nnadi being the primary targets. Solomon Thomas is the clear No. 1 target, while Derrick Nnadi is visiting this weekend and McDowell is visiting with Thomas in a couple of weeks.
Slade's commitment could have an impact on Malik McDowell to Michigan State, as the Spartans now have four defensive line commits and 20 commits total. That being said, I have to think Michigan State will take McDowell regardless as he's the top player in Michigan. Still, this quote from Slade yesterday following the de-commitment is interesting in regards to Michigan State's class filling up:
"I still have an offer [at Michiga State], but at the same time, they have a d-end taking a visit there this weekend. And I hear he is a big name kid. So I don't know if he's gonna commit this weekend or what the situation may be."
- Darius Slade
Clearly, Slade felt it was necessary to commit to Michigan State quickly. The question is, was this just Michigan State pressuring him to commit or is there some legitimacy to their stance that the class is filling? It's hard to say.
What about Solomon Thomas? Well, Stanford's Defensive Coordinator, Derek Mason, has emerged as the leading candidate to fill the Vanderbilt head coaching vacancy. If Mason does indeed accept the job and were to take some Stanford defensive coaches with him, it's hard to imagine this not having at least some effect on Solomon Thomas. Larry Johnson will have a chance to impress Thomas when the official visit takes place in two weeks, though with all of the turnover at each of Thomas' top three choices it seems like Thomas staying home and playing at Texas is becoming more and more likely.
A new name that could emerge is 3-star DT Michael Sawyers. Sawyers de-committed from Vanderbilt on Wednesday, and could be another option for the Buckeyes to consider. Coach Hinton was in Nashville to visit Sawyers today, so there is clearly some interest from the Ohio State end. Sawyers is planning to spend the next three weekends visiting Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Tennessee, so if he doesn't visit Ohio State he is probably a long shot for the Buckeyes. However, if Ohio State feels that they are going to miss on Thomas, Nnadi and McDowell, they may try and recruit Sawyers a bit harder.
Daniel Cage is also a name to keep an eye on. The Cincinnati prospect does not have an offer, but could be a possibility at the end if the Buckeyes miss on the other guys they want.
New 2015 offer goes out
On Wednesday night, Ohio State offered 2015 4-star safety Rashad Roundtree. Roundtree has been blowing up recently, with offers from Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Michigan State, Florida and Virginia Tech all coming in the last week. Why? Roundtree is a fast, physical, ball-hawking safety. He made 97 tackles and 4 interceptions last year, a big reason why he was first-team All-State in Georgia's class AAAAA.
Roundtree told 11W that his success on the field is attributed to playing downhill and aggressive, something that Ohio State would love to get from its safeties. With so many offers coming in so quickly, Roundtree says that everyone is on a level playing field right now, though he is planning on making a junior day trip to either Clemson or Florida this spring. He is also hoping to make it to Columbus some time this summer or late spring.
Enjoying the Jersey SHore
The east coast has been a focal point of Buckeye recruiting recently. Between Curtis Samuel, Noah Brown, Malik Hooker, Eli Apple and others, Ohio State has been pretty successful in the northeast.
The northeast is a gold mine for 2015 talent and Ohio State is working hard to take advantage of it. Urban Meyer and Ed Warinner spent most of yesterday in New Jersey, visiting Noah Brown, Brandon Wimbush, Minkah Fitzpatrick, David Njoku, Steven Gonzalez and Darius Slade.
We know Noah Brown is excited to be a Buckeye, but where do the other guys stand? Brandon Wimbush was expected to announce a decision shortly after his season but recently decided to delay his decision to later this spring or early summer. Wimbush has also begun to trend a bit towards Penn State since the hiring of James Franklin.
Wimbush's teammate, 5-star CB Minkah Fitzpatrick confirmed with 11W that Meyer and Warinner did indeed visit them, while Penn State and Michigan coaches also stopped by to see them both. Now that new offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier is in the fold, Michigan is considering offering Wimbush, while they remain in hot pursuit for Fitzpatrick as well. Ohio State appears to be in a dogfight for the pair from Jersey City.
On a more positive note, Urban Meyer got some good news from Steven Gonzalez, one of their top offensive line targets for 2015. Steven told 11W that Urban had heard Gonzalez announce that Ohio State was his leader. After Steven confirmed that this was indeed correct, Meyer responded "well let's try and keep it that way."
Gonzalez told 11W that he will "definitely" be visiting Ohio State this spring, and will probably also visit Penn State and Boston College. Gonzalez is expecting an offer from Penn State soon as well, and is planning on making a decision around signing day in 2015. Gonzalez is a class act, very well-spoken and a great football player. Ohio State looks to be in great shape here but it's still early.
Lastly, Meyer and Warinner made a trip to see David Njoku. Njoku is huge - 6-foot-5 and he moves well. He is listed as a receiver, but he could easily be the tight end target for Meyer in 2014 if Mike Gesicki doesn't work out. Njoku still doesn't have an offer from Ohio State, though he is certainly interested. Njoku was originally committed to Rutgers, but Miami (Fl.) appears to be the leader right now. Njoku is visiting Penn State this weekend and plans to visit Ohio State on January 31st. If Njoku gets the Ohio State offer, it would be pretty tough to turn down for Njoku, who can really play by the way.
Tim Hinton also visited 2015 targets Chris Clark and Christian Wilkins in Connecticut. Both have Ohio State offers. Lastly, Hinton stopped by to watch Mike Gesicki's basketball game last night. Gesicki remains committed to Penn State but Ohio State is working to get back into the mix. Look for Meyer to try and get another visit with Gesicki before signing day.
And the State up North
Meanwhile, Kerry Coombs, Stan Drayton and Larry Johnson spent much of yesterday in Michigan doing a bit of recruiting in enemy territory. They stopped by to see Damon Webb, Mike Weber, Joshua Alabi, Malik McDowell, Brian Cole, Donovon Peoples-Jones and Joshua Holloman. All except for Peoples-Jones and Hollomon currently have offers (and Webb is committed). Michigan State is favored for Cass Tech's Mike Weber and Joshua Alabi, but Ohio State continues to recruit them hard, as does Damon Webb.
Brian Cole is an absolute game-changing player, and he likes the Buckeyes quite a bit. Ohio State is battling Michigan, Michigan State and Tennessee for his services.
Donovon Peoples-Jones and Joshua Holloman are the newer names here, Peoples-Jones is a 2017 WR and Holloman is a 3-star 2015 running back. Peoples-Jones is another Cass Tech kid, doesn't currently have any offers but Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Tennessee are interested. Holloman doesn't have any offers either, though he visited Michigan State in August, so they have shown some interest along with Ohio State, Michigan and some MAC schools. He also camped at Alabama last summer.
What's next?
Coaches continue to hit the trail hard today, Tim Hinton is in Tennessee today to check in on Van Jefferson and Michael Sawyers. Larry Johnson is in Texas today, likely visiting Solomon Thomas and others.
Tom Herman visited Demetrius Knox yesterday and is in Florida today to watch Torrance Gibson throw again. With Brandon Wimbush delaying his announcement and Penn State getting into the mix, Torrance Gibson is emerging as Ohio State's top QB target in my opinion, and Buckeye fans should be excited about that. Gibson is a phenomenal athlete, but he really can throw well too. Gibson's coach Mike Rumph told Cleveland.com that Ohio State is "almost perfect" for Torrance.
Coach Warinner is in the Chicago area, visiting Jamarco Jones and likely others, while Coombs and Drayton are recruiting the Cleveland area today, proabably checking in on the Glenville kids and likely Jerome Baker.
Looking ahead to this weekend, Brady Taylor and Derrick Nnadi are currently in town, while Jermaine Roberts is scheduled to visit next weekend. After that is the huge recruiting weekend on January 31st that includes Malik McDowell and Solomon Thomas. And after that is signing day! Recruiting is really heating up right now as so much happened in just the day and a half since the dead period has ended. You can expect a few more names to be thrown around for the 2014 class and the 2015 class will continue to pick up steam too. You can expect a lot of additional recruiting content on Twitter and in the forums, so be sure to check often for the most recent updates.
As you saw with Darius Slade, things happen very quickly around this time of year, so buckle your seatbelt and get ready for a heck of a ride to signing day.

Comments from readers.
WHY NO OUTCRY of a hate crime for the assault on Riverwalk Augusta? Because it wasn't one. No more than the Zimmerman case was.
I WISH THE local police would enforce the smoke-screen laws. These hopped-up diesel pickups love to smoke out people walking, bicycling, or foreign cars at intersections. One day they will cause an accident because of the on-purpose black soot exhaust.
I AM SORRY FOR the guy who had three computers and $400 in cash stolen from his car outside his residence. But really, who in their right mind would leave these items in their car and not expect them to be a target for criminals? Let's not make it easy for those criminals to rip us off.
ONCE AGAIN I was in need of the cardiac cath lab at the downtown VA, and the staff took excellent care of me. I have never been treated so fast and in such capable hands as Dr. Alavi, Dr. Mandawat, Mrs. Reese, Cindy, Theresa, Jan and the always funny Orlando. I thank them for their dedication and making a not-so-good event bearable.
RANT TO THE Richmond County Board of Education. Why with all the cuts in education, Richmond County has summer school students going to school for free? Not free, taxpayers paying for it. Why are the parents of these students not paying? Buses pick students up with only a few students on the bus and also school staffers all costing the taxpayer.
IT IS HARD TO believe that Augusta leads the nation when it comes to infant mortality rates. It is three times the state rate and more than six times the national average. In this day and age, it should not be too difficult to get to the bottom of this and take the necessary actions to turn things around.
ABORTIONS? WHO cares? Black on black crime? Who cares? Thugs attacking the innocent? Who cares? Zimmerman defending himself? Racism! Racism!
NOW THAT THE George Zimmerman murder trial is over, can the media go back and cover stories that have fallen by the wayside such as Benghazi, IRS scandals, spying on the public, etc? I know that they are not as exciting, but we need the media attention so that we can get to the facts and maybe find out who really was responsible for what happened.
NO MORE PAULA Deen; no more Trayvon Martin. Please investigate the real stories now.

To the Editor:
Why are your property taxes higher? Because the last Republican-controlled legislature repealed the Homestead Credit. Paul Gazelka voted for that. Gazelka could have raised income taxes on the wealthiest, but he raised our property taxes instead.
Republicans try to blame increased property taxes on local governments, but that's not true. Even without local tax increases, property taxes increased for farmers, small businesses and homeowners.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue makes it clear that taking away the Homestead Credit caused increased property taxes, especially in poorer areas (www.revenue.state.mn.us/propertytax.), Except for property around some of our lakes, this district is definitely one of the poorer areas of Minnesota.
Paul Gazelka voted to remove the homestead credit even though it was made clear in committees and in debates on the floor that it would hurt rural Minnesota most. If he truly understood this area, Gazelka should have listened and voted no. But Paul Gazelka voted yes.
It doesn't make any difference if Gazelka didn't know or if he didn't care; the result is the same here in District 9. Let's restore the homestead credit and remove anyone who voted to eliminate it. Elect someone who understands rural Minnesota and this district. Elect Al Doty. — Michele Caron, Flensburg

A BLACK Country brewery didn't waste any time in answering a plea by Stourbridge litter pickers for sponsorship to help keep the town streets clean.
TidyStourbridge issued an appeal for help to buy a year's worth of bin bags strong enough to hold all the various types of waste collected during the group's twice monthly litter picking outings.
And within hours of the news hitting the Stourbridge News website, Bathams Brewery offered the £149,94 needed to enable the group to buy 600 heavy duty refuse sacks favoured by the Keep Britain Tidy organisation.
Volunteer Roger Kendrick said: "Thanks to the article in the Stourbridge News, Matt Batham of Bathams Brewery very quickly stepped in and purchased the required refuse sacks. We'd like to thank the Stourbridge News and Bathams Brewery for their help with this problem."
He added: "Following on from Bathams's offer we've also had a number of other offers of sponsorship and we'll be taking some of these offers up because we need extra equipment nowadays to cope with some of the fly tipping we come across."
The group issued the plea for help to buy the bags earlier this week after hope of a previous sponsorship deal fell through.
The group's next Pick'n'Pint session will take place on Sunday February 9 from the Bull & Bladder/The Vine, The Delph, Brierley Hill, with further outings planned for February 23 from The Gigmill pub, The Broadway, Norton, and March 23 from the Samson & Lion pub, Brierley Hill Road, Buckpool, Wordsley.

Industry sees RFID as a way to cut costs from the manufacture and distribution of goods, allowing it to more readily track goods through the production chain, while privacy advocates fear its negative consequences on human rights.
The ease with which CASPIAN hacked the centre's website overshadows industry claims that it can protect citizens' privacy, the lobby group says.
"Privacy advocates are alarmed about the centre's plans because RFID technology could enable businesses to collect an unprecedented amount of information about consumers' possessions and physical movements," says CASPIAN founder Katherine Albrecht.
Federal privacy commissioner Malcolm Crompton says Australians have shown hostility towards technology that invades their privacy.
"Companies, whether they are Australian or located anywhere else, are well advised to take note of these deep feelings that people have and therefore it may or may not need further laws to provide protection," Crompton says.
"But the companies can rest assured that if they are reckless in this way they will generate the call for more law."
He says the tags should be "killed" as the items leave the store and it should not be possible to reactivate them later. He is alarmed at any suggestion that they can be reactivated, and will seek more information from the industry.
IBM Consulting Service's Asia-Pacific manager for e-Business, Vicki Ward, says her company will adhere to any laws. "IBM would adhere to whatever standards are set by the government in whichever country we were working."
Ward says there was a strong push by product-makers wanting to track consumer behaviour after they'd made purchases.Concerns over how consumers would view that intrusion dissuaded the Auto-ID Centre from adding that function in the first batch of standards, but it could be added later, she says.
Among documents made available to the public for the first time was confidential research by the centre in which consumers in the US, Britain, Europe and Japan consistently gave negative opinions of the technology. Key among these were the privacy aspects, followed by health, personal safety and the likely impact on jobs, because fewer workers were needed.
"A company, a government, a rogue state, a 19-year-old in his parents' attic will try and hack this for fun, for power," said a respondent in the US study conducted by centre researcher Helen Duce.
Respondents were worried that hackers or thieves could see into their homes and shopping bags, targeting them for crime, or that police and security services would spy on them using the tags. Consumers placed the technology in the same basket as nuclear power or genetically modified foods but were "apathetic" and likely not to do much about their concerns, the centre found.
"There are currently no clear benefits (for consumers) . . . so any negative press coverage, no matter how mild, would shift the neutral (opinion) to negative," Duce wrote. "Virtually all groups spontaneously said that they wanted a choice and that the `chip should be killed' (when they left the shop)."
Duce wrote that these concerns would be overcome with a co-ordinated global public relations strategy. The tags should also be renamed either "enhanced barcodes", she wrote, or "green tags", according to another report for the centre by consulting PR firm Fleishman-Hillard.
Minutes from the centre's February meeting indicate the first pilot phase is under way with many of its members, who are building business cases for its use. One scenario will alert shopkeepers to wealthy individuals entering their store, calculating their net worth based on the tags hidden in their clothing, and comparing their type against a demographic database. Bus shelters and other public spaces might be fitted with RFID tag readers connected to display devices, which will pitch products at consumers based on their tags.
The RFID industry has had several setbacks recently. Benetton shelved plans to embed tags in its clothes, once news of its trial leaked. Wal-Mart, the big US supermarket chain, gives its customers the option to remove the tags from its products. The only Australian member of the centre is Martyn Johnson, director of the Visy Technical Centre, an offshoot of Visy Industries. Visy spokesmen did not return calls.

The soft-carrier Computerzubehör GmbH is a european special distributor for offices supplies and IT-accessories. The range of items extends far beyond pure computer accessories. Virtually everything that can be required for an office is offered by the company to its customers. The 7.000 m² storage area handles 42.000 articles that must be put together in a variety of orders and delivered within 24 hours to customers throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
soft-carrier has focused on high customer service, and a continuous optimization of its internal business processes, as well as adoption of modern technology. This has led to high company growth since its foundation in 1986.
As a result of the powerful expansion and guarantee fastest delivery in good order and condition, the management make a decision to build a modern distribution center. The result is that soft-carrier has automated its logistic systems for goods arrivals, stocks warehouse, picking and dispatch facilities.
To adjust the logistic system to the constantly increasing demands, management took the decision to divide the entire automated material flow and warehouse system development into several construction phases.
At goods arrivals the small volume articles are re-packed into storage totes and large volume articles are placed on pallets. Finally both goods types are transported via the relevant conveyor lines to the appropriate storage areas. The goods can be tracked via the control system by means of the barcodes on the totes and pallets.
The warehouse of two areas. The pallet warehouse is comprised of 2,700 storage positions in a channel storage rack, three pallets lengthwise in one rack position. Efficient handling is assured by TGW stacker cranes each 7.5 m. height in two 80 m long aisles. A crossways transfer car takes on the distribution of the pallets in the aisles at the warehouse approach zone.
The tote storage positions are placed at both sides of the pallet warehouse area and comprises 12 aisles. The 600 x 400 x 400 mm stock totes are aligned in double depths in the rack pockets. A long drawn-out conveyor system loop in the approach zone supplies the separate aisles and links the warehouse with the goods entry and the picking places.
Supply of all 13 picking positions is automatic. Each stock tote goes to the picking position exactly when its contents are required for a customer order. Staff receive precise information via a computer screen at the picking area on how many articles they can remove from the grey stock totes to place in the coloured target totes for packing. By this means six pickers can deal with around 900 picks an hour.
The coloured target totes for the packing area are then moved on to packaging where the entire customer order is checked once again and placed in a dispatch carton. The dispatch label that has already been generated during the course of the picking procedure accompanies the target tote for the packing area to the workstation there and is available for immediate use. After the label has been fixed to the carton it continues on to dispatch. Here the packages are secured once again by double hooping before continuing on the dispatch route to the customer. The courier and express service containers that are to be fitted with the current dispatch loads are then waiting at the goods issue gates.
Express deliveries are collected again between packaging and dispatch on buffer lanes until the express trucks dock at the goods issue gate or until a dispatch container is added as a final dispatch container. The collected express packages are started up at the push of a button and loaded directly to the transporter or container to ensure that they can be unloaded as priority packages for accelerated treatment from the transport vehicle by the haulage contractor.
soft-carrier has committed itself to the 24–hour delivery principle. TGW has taken special account of short routes as the soft-carrier defined objectives for all workstations and of ergonomic considerations as a way of ensuring that problems do not arise in the picking area. TGW reacted to the available space conditions by coming up with extremely precise and creatively planned conveyor lines and an installation that is space saving in the extreme. A finely interwoven network of totes and pallet conveyor lines, rack aisles and picking positions covers the premises today.
At the pallet warehouse each stacker crane is equipped with a muli long satellite vehicle as a load handling device. The installed 4-mast crane reaches a travel speed of 2,5 m/s and includes an onboard control system. The load handling Muli satellite vehicles travel under the pallets and transport the pallets into or out of the storage based on lengthways storage of the pallets in the rack.
Each rack aisle at the tote storage is served by a 7.5 m high single mast stacker crane of the Mustang type. The double depth Combi-telescope load handling devices installed on the Mustangs assure an extremely efficient storage and retrieval of the stock totes plus rapid handing over to the conveyor systems.

They say both misery and good food demands company. With food, it's easy to see why. Eating at a big round table surrounded by people you like is one of the great joys of life. But what if you want to go out by yourself and want to avoid the stares and gasps of onlookers? A new restaurant in Amsterdam would be right up your alley.
The eatery called Eenmaal, which loosely translates to "once," featured a series of small tables, perfect for wearily digging in to some culinary "you" time. At the very least you could chew and look at your phone all evening without worrying about being that annoying person.
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your viewpoint, Eenmaal was just a two-day pop up event. If you want to relive the experience of eating alone, you'll have to figure out how to do it on your own.

They were perfect flower girl headbands!
Keep it Simple and Pretty . . .
My name is Cheryl and I live on the East Coast of Massachusetts in a small beach town with my husband and our two children ♥
I grew up in a very large Italian family. I'm first generation and love telling people that! Working with my hands seemed the natural way for me to earn a living as this is how my parents supported our family. Growing up and living here on the East Coast, it is very easy to find beauty in simple, everyday things.
I believe accessories should be a simple, sweet decoration . . . not getting in the way of a happy smile or the true beauty that shines from the inside out!
My bows are handmade . . by me and only me. They are hand folded and hand tied. Some are sprinkled with just a little bit more fun and excitement, but most are simple and sweet. Each soft headband is sized and hand cut to order. Every hard headband is individually hand-wrapped by me in grosgrain ribbon. All of the fabric I use for my fabric covered headbands is of the highest quality & hand cut to fit each headband form. I am a self-taught designer, having spent many hours trying to perfect my bow designs and shapes. I do not use commercial templates or "bow makers" to create my pieces. It's me, my two hands and the supplies in my studio.
High quality materials, strict attention to detail and efficient customer service are the three most important aspects of running my shop.
I treasure every single one of my customers! Most are moms and grandmothers of little ones. Working with them to create perfectly designed accessories for their children brings back some wonderful memories of when my daughter was much smaller and I was that mom looking for that perfect "something". Their enthusiasm and trust is what motivates me to bring my best foot forward every time I step into my studio, sit at my table and let the creating begin!

One From the Heartland
Before we see earnings reports from Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA), we'll hear from Heartland Payment Systems (HPY).
I remember this one all the way back to its IPO days. Everyone is waiting for MA and V, but the early play here looks like HPY. I will say upfront that I wish I'd see less insider selling. The CEO's selling is automatic and much of it derived from exercising stock options, but I will say it is a little unnerving to see him selling over and over and over again basically every share he has available to him. Of course, he then gets reloaded after exercising options. But then he begins machine-gun selling all over again. But it is hard to argue the company's performance and guidance last quarter. On top of that, the charts are set up rather well going into earnings. What looked to be a breakdown just a few days ago looks like it was a shakeout instead. ...431 more words left in this article.

Cleaning Brass the Professional Way
DEAR TIM: I have been trying to clean some tarnished brass exterior light fixtures. I have purchased several different brass cleaning products and the results are ho-hum. It is a lot of work and no matter what I do I can not get a mirror like finish like the brass had when it was brand new. What is the secret? What am I doing wrong? Gayla T., Barre, VT
DEAR GAYLA: Been there, done that. I remember thinking I could completely polish and re-coat a brass door handle set in an afternoon. After rubbing and rubbing for hours, I got parts of the brass very clean, but small cracks and crevices were either full of cleaning compound, tarnish or a combination of the two. My frustration forced me to contact a professional metal polisher. It was one the best time and energy saving ideas I think I have ever had.
Converting a tarnished piece of brass to one that shines like a beacon can only be done with professional tools, equipment, solvents, polishing compounds and coatings. A vast majority of those shiny new polished brass candlesticks, door hardware, and accessories that you see at stores have all been polished and finished by automated equipment. Some of the new brass fixtures available in stores today actually have a tarnish free alloy skin. But older brass suffers once the protective clear finishes erode and the brass is exposed to air. Contaminants in the outdoor air or indoor pollutants from aerosol products can also rapidly tarnish brass. The oxidation or tarnish is actually a natural process. The brass is simply creating its own stable protective finish, albeit an unattractive one to many!
Professional metal polishers can polish, buff and colorize brass fixtures very quickly, efficiently and affordably. The first step is to remove the old protective clear finish as well as the tarnish. Removing tarnish requires that you actually remove an ultra thin layer of the brass metal. When done by hand, this first step is very hard. The clear protective finish can be very difficult to remove. Once through it, then you need to rub and rub to break the molecular metal bonds. A high speed polishing wheel that has special polishing rouge can cut through these films in seconds. This first step almost always produces fine scratches in the brass.
The buffing stage removes these scratches. Another high speed buffing wheel coated with a different polishing compound removes the scratches and creates a mirror like finish. To accomplish this by hand could take one hours while a professional can do it in less than a minute. The final step employs another high speed spinning pad that burnishes the brass and gives it the deep luster and color that is so characteristic of true polished brass. Achieving these results by hand is nearly impossible.
All of this work needs to be done wearing gloves. Perspiration and body oils on your skin can leach into the freshly polished brass. In fact, even harmful chemicals from food spices can be transmitted to the brass via perspiration. Once the brass is colorized, it is time to clean it with industrial strength lacquer thinner. This removes all contaminants and traces of the polishing rouge. Working with lacquer thinner is extremely hazardous and dangerous because it is highly flammable. Do not even think of doing this yourself.
You might think the best clear coating is clear lacquer. The metal polishers that are on the cutting edge have found that acrylic urethanes are far superior. Once a brass item has been coated with an acrylic urethane, it can remain tarnish free for many years, even when placed outdoors. This is the only clear coating I would use to protect my brass pieces.
Metal polishers can be found in most areas. Some of them offer mail order service. You simply send them a photo or series of photos and they can give you a quote to perform the work. You ship them the items and the craftsmen begin the transformation task. Once complete, the brilliant brass objects are shipped back to you in perfect condition. It is affordable and allows you to spend your time doing what you are good at.

5 Responses to Cleaning Brass the Professional Way
My husband and I have spent 7 to 8 hours cleaning an old porcelain and brass chandelier. Now, before we hang it, I would like to have this chandelier professional sealed before hanging. Any help or suggestions of where I can find such service will be gratefully appreciated.
If you want mirror like brass without paying outrageous dollars, check out Eastwood.com... They sell kits specifically for brass which includes everything you need including the buffing wheels, compounds, safety gear and instruction. It is surprisingly affordable and it will pay for itself the first time you use it. I am not affiliated with the company - just a huge fan because they have saved me over $1000 in commercial polishing.
i went through your website and your expertise in brass and copper polishing/shining knowledge.
i require a small tip or suggestion from your experience, i have huge quantity of small pieces of parts in brass what have become black/semi black and i want to shine it.
as the parts are in big quantity and very small pieces i cannot polish one byone taking hand for labour cost will increase. thus please suggest me some chemical or home made mixing in which i can only DIP and take out and it should shine.
your response will be highly appreciated sir.
For some parts and large quantities I purchased a shaker that you can put corn hulls or walnut hulls in, turn it on and let it do all the work, hour or 2 later you have shinny new parts. I have found that larger or heavy parts it doesnt seem to work on because the parts aren't moving around as needed. I'm thinking of doing what some people have said about sending them off to get done because the final coating is critical to its everlasting shine.

text: Delta ( DAL) has been disciplined with its capacity, which is helping the company hold onto more of its earnings, Syth said. She considers Delta a buy because the company has plans to fix its weak balance sheet. Delta has $13.5 billion in adjusted net debt, which includes debt and plane leases, and it plans to cut that number by $3.5 billion to $10 billion in 2013. Syth is expecting the company to have $1.20 in earnings per share this year and $2.05 for 2012. Delta's operating revenue in the September quarter rose 10% from a year earlier to $866 million. The airliner's passenger revenue was also up 10% to $793 million. Shares of Delta are down more than 35% year to date.

Ulzheimer also recommends not applying for any new credit and cleaning up any default or collection accounts remaining on your credit report. "Once you've stopped working, you will have less capacity to pay off debts and you certainly don't want collections phone calls," he says.
2. Have you maxed out your retirement benefits?"The more money you can put in your monthly retirement income bucket by maximizing the income from all different sources, the better off you will be" says Steve Repak, CFP, author of "Dollars and Uncommon Sense ." "And, currently, a lot of it depends on delaying retirement." Repak notes that your Social Security benefits increase until you reach age 70, and that if your employer provides a pension or matches any investment contributions you make, such as those made to a 401(k), it may pay to keep working and let your accounts continue growing.
3. Is your health declining?Good health is another reason Americans may choose to work longer, according to Fideler. As a healthy worker, you may find it beneficial to keep your job -- and health insurance -- until age 65 when Medicare can cover some of your health care expenses. If you retire before age 65, you may pay significantly more to keep health coverage through the COBRA program or your spouse's employee health plan, says Repak. "Maintain as active a lifestyle as possible to save money on health care costs now and later," advises Dr. Paul Terpeluk, D.O., medical director of employee health services at the Cleveland Clinic. "You will avoid spending on prescription and over-the-counter medications, procedures and co-pays for the major sedentary-lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease."
4. Are you working out of choice?In the ERBI survey, retirees who worked gave some of these financial reasons:
- To buy extras
- Decreased value of their savings or investments
- Needing money to make ends meet
- Needing money to keep health insurance or other benefits

JUDY WOODRUFF: The nine justices of the Supreme Court took their initial votes today after three days of arguments this week on President Obama's health care law. Their decision is not expected until late June.
The vice president told CBS in an interview that the administration's focus is on implementing the two-year-old law, not on the court's deliberations.
VICE PRESIDENT JOSEPH BIDEN: No one's made any money betting an outcome of cases based on the oral arguments and the questions asked. We think — we think the mandate and the law is constitutional, and we think the court will rule that way.
I just think we should focus on what is the law doing for people now, and what would happen if, in fact, the Republicans were able to repeal it.
JEFFREY BROWN: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney signed into law a bill similar to the one passed on the federal level. But he told an audience in Wisconsin today that, if the court doesn't strike down the Affordable Care Act, he hopes to repeal it.
MITT ROMNEY (R): If Obamacare is allowed to stand, government will directly control almost half of the U.S. economy. Government must have — it's got to be smaller. It has got to have strict limits placed on its power. Obamacare violates both of those principles, and, if I'm president, I will repeal it.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Also today, the Republican National Committee was criticized for releasing a Web video that manipulated audio of U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli. The audio was edited so that it would exaggerate pauses he made while arguing Tuesday for the government in favor of the health care law.
DONALD VERRILLI, solicitor general of the United States: Because the — the — the — excuse me.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Joining us now is Marcia Coyle with The National Law Journal. She covers the Supreme Court for the NewsHour and she was there for the arguments this week.
And welcome back.
MARCIA COYLE, The National Law Journal: Thanks, Judy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, of all the cases that come to the Supreme Court, clearly this among the most important, Marcia, not just judging health care reform, but judging the ability of Congress to make law.
MARCIA COYLE: That's right, Judy.
I mean, very fundamentally, the court is examining the scope of Congress' power to make laws under the Constitution. So whatever the court decides in the health care case, it's likely to have an impact on Congress' ability to address problems down the road that are problems with national scope or nature.
The court may announce limits on Congress' power. We don't know. But it certainly goes beyond the health care law that is at issue right now.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, today, the justices, after the hearings earlier this week, they met. They had a conference. Tell us what goes on. . .
MARCIA COYLE: Sure. There is a room off the chief justice's chambers. It's a stately room with a fireplace, and it also has an oblong table.
The chief justice sits at the head of the table. Justice Scalia is at the other end. He is the senior associate justice. And the chief, by tradition, presents the case to the other justices, says his vote, gives an explanation. And then, by seniority, they go around the table announcing their votes.
If the chief justice is in the majority at the end of that vote tally, he will assign the majority opinion either to himself perhaps or to another justice. And then, if he's not in the majority, the justice who is next in line most senior in the majority will do the assigning of the opinions.
Then we go through a period where the justices are drafting opinions, they're exchanging thoughts, and the ultimate result probably will be in June.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So do they talk about the case between now and the end of June, or do they just exchange written opinions?
MARCIA COYLE: They really do primarily communicate through the draft opinions. There is some discussion in conference when they vote, but, really, this is a body that talks through its writings.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Marcia, do they typically hold to the same position that they held today, the day of this conference, or could that change?
MARCIA COYLE: Well, probably more often than not, but there have been examples throughout history, and even in recent times, of justices changing their minds. Even the justice assigned to write the majority opinion may change his or her mind.
There was an example I think in the '90s when Justice Kennedy was writing a majority opinion involving prayers at high school graduations, and he changed his mind, and he ended up writing a majority opinion, but with a different four justices joining him.
JUDY WOODRUFF: But, typically, it's felt that — it's believed they stick to the opinions. . .
MARCIA COYLE: Generally, they do, I think.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So a political question, Marcia. You've seen this ad that — the Web ad that the Republican National Committee put out today. . .
MARCIA COYLE: Yes.
JUDY WOODRUFF: . . . essentially doctoring some of the audio of the court argument on Tuesday, making the government attorney's presentation sound worse than it was, more hesitation on his part, sipping water and so forth. What are your thoughts about that?
MARCIA COYLE: Well, first of all, the solicitor general, Donald Verrilli, had something of a frog in his throat. And he did clear it and got through his argument.
As far as the RNC ad goes, my initial thought is, it's dishonest. If it's dishonest, it's inexcusable. My second thought was that it may well have an impact, beyond that, on the public's ability to get the court to be more transparent in its proceedings.
The court has resisted cameras in the courtroom, partially out of fear that it will be misused on TV. Chief Justice Roberts this week bent his rule of putting up audio of the arguments regularly on Fridays of arguments week, so that we could have it on the same day. And now it may be there will be some justices who will say, well, look, even the audio is abused. No way we will let cameras in the courtroom.
So I think really the harm is to the public more than anything.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we will leave it there and we will be watching.
Marcia Coyle, thank you.
MARCIA COYLE: My pleasure, Judy.
JEFFREY BROWN: You can find blogs from Marcia and all of our coverage of the court hearings this week archived on our health page at NewsHour.PBS.org.

The star of 'The Imitation Game' who wins Actor of the Year award at the event says, 'I'm going to get off stage now because I drank a lot and I need the loo.'
A hilarious video of Benedict Cumberbatch's rambling speech has gone viral. The "Sherlock" actor, who was honored with Actor of the Year award at 2014 GQ Men of the Year Awards on Tuesday, September 2 was a bit incoherent after having a few drinks at the event.
"This is wonderful. I'd like to thank James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy for not being available," he joked. "But seriously, it's an embarrassment of riches. I'm in one of those extraordinary rooms with extraordinary people." He also referred to F1 race driver Lewis Hamilton as "motor driver."
"What century am I from? Auditioning for 'Downton Abbey' or some such s**t," he continued. "Not that 'Downton Abbey' is s**t. Where was I? Oh f**k. I'm going to get off stage now because I drank a lot and I need the loo. So thank you very good much, I'll see you in the loo."
Cumberbatch has been having amazing time. Last year, he starred in movies such as Oscar-winning "12 Years a Slave", "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "August: Osage County". He recently won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for his performance on "Sherlock".
The 38-year-old actor will next be seen in "The Imitation Game" which tells the life of British mathematician Alan Turing and his role in cracking Nazi's Enigma code during the World War II. Directed by Morten Tyldum, the pic also stars Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode and Mark Strong among others.

How Wet Should Dentin Be? Comparison of Methods to Remove Excess Water During Moist Bonding.
Pereira, Gisele Damiana da Silveira; Paulillo, Luis Alexandre Maffei Sartini; De Goes, M�rio Fernando; Dias, Carlos Tadeu dos Santos
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of two adhesive systems when applied on dentin surfaces with different degrees of wetness. Materials and Methods: Two-hundred ten dentin specimens were used. After conditioning with 35% phosphoric acid gel and washing, seven methods of drying dentin were used: 30 s air spray (groups 1 and 2), 5 s air spray (groups 3 and 4), dry cotton pellets (groups 7 and 8), wet cotton pellets (groups 9 and 10), microbrush (groups 11 and 12), absorbent paper (groups 13 and 14). The last group was not dried; the dentin surfaces were left overwet (groups 5 and 6). Prime & Bond 2.1 adhesive was applied on the odd- numbered groups and Scotchbond Multi Purpose on the even-numbered groups. Z100 composite cylinders were bonded to the adhesive and the specimens were subjected to a shear bond test. Results: The Least-Squares Means test was used to compare the following results, where different letters indicate significantly different mean values: Group 9 (G9) = 23.2 MPa (a), G3 = 21.3 MPa (ab), G2 = 19.5 MPa (be], G10 = 18.6 MPa (be!, G14 = 16.3 MPa (cd), G8 = 16.1 MPa (cd), G4 = 14.6 MPa (de), G13 = 14.0 MPa (de), Gil = 13.9 MPa (de), G7 = 13.5 MPa (de), G12 = 12.1 MPa (e), Gl = 8.2 MPa (f), G5 = 2.7 MPa (g), G6 = 2.4MPa (g). Conclusion: The adhesion values were affected both by the degree of dentin wetness and by the adhesive systems.

Dear Florida,
We need to talk. You're a good state. Really, you are. I love your beaches. There's the delightful lilt of latin accents everywhere. Daytona is the place where motorsports royalty is crowned in America. Sebring is the place of legends. And who doesn't love Disney World?
But we need to talk about your car situation. It's just flat-out embarrassing. All of your friends are talking about it. I think it's time we had a an open, honest conversation, and maybe we can solve this problem together.
