Sustainable Architecture
Everyday, we hear the words 'sustainable' and 'sustainability'. The reality is that a lot of people do not know the real meaning of these words... What does 'sustainability' mean exactly? Sustainability could be defined as the ability or the capacity of something to be maintained itself. It means to taking what we need to live now, without putting at risk the potential for people in the future to meet their needs.
If an activity is said to be sustainable, it should be able to continue forever.
Name: Valenzuela Pérez Cristina Siomara. Group: 4-2 Date: February, 18, 2015. Subject: "Sustainable Architecture" Teacher: César Augusto Covarrubias.

The Lost Bean Wine Bar Now Open In Tustin
Anne Marie Panoringan
Back in July, Edwin reported news of a local coffeehouse expanding. We assumed it would be more seating for the cozy Lost Bean. We even experienced some of the demolition first hand, as dishware crashed from a shelf while they pounded on walls. However, they had something else in mind (not that we're complaining).
The good news is that expansion is complete. If you were looking for more caffeine, you're out of luck. Instead, revel in the pleasant surprise we encountered last week. Owner Bodie Rasmussen opened a wine bar.
Stepping into the swankiest Ikea inspiration room, minimalistic light fixtures dropped down from the ceiling, shining bright like a diamond over wooden stools. Matching countertops swooped up at one end as a feng shui accent. More wine riddler than domino, their mix of textures and hues felt like the square peg in a plaza built on Continental Nieuport 17 and Christakis Greek Cuisine. We were enamored.

Out-of-it addict tears out own eyeball and devours it
An addict, high on crystal meth, tore out his own eye and ate it.
A politician in Australia has revealed a horrifying story concerning a crystal meth addict who she says gouged out his own eyes and ate them.
Federal Liberal MP Karen McNamara was speaking at an Ice Summit yesterday to address the epidemic that is sweeping across the country.
She recalled a particularly disturbing story concerning a boy who was addicted to the drug and was under the influence of the methamphetamine when he gouged out his own eyes.
"Let me tell you a story that demonstrates this ... about a young boy taken into an emergency department for treatment who gouged out his own eyeballs and ate them," she told the summit.
"We have to get these kinds of stories out to young people — this is not a recreational drug."
A spokeswoman for Ms McNamara later said the incident occurred at John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle and that she was in the room when the story was related to Ms McNamara by a frontline emergency services officer who wished to remain anonymous, News.com.au said.
"This person received the information from her colleagues who witnessed the event at a Newcastle hospital," the spokesperson said.
The summit is being held just one week after police successfully closed down a methamphetamine ring following a series of raids and seizure of 150kg of the drug worth more than $100 million.

In Spirit, that is. This past Saturday, I volunteered with a group of fellow Greater Astoria Historical Society members and urban dwellers to participate in one of the many Jane's Walks taking place in NYC, to celebrate the 89th birthday of Jane Jacobs, organized by The Municipal Art Society of New York. I boarded the M60 bus on 77th Street here in Astoria and a short 15 minutes later I was over the Triboro bridge and in Harlem exiting at the SE corner of 125th Street and 2nd Avenue where our 3 1/2 hour walking tour began.
I arrived at the rendezvous point, at the foot of the Harlem River Lift Bridge, 45 minutes early but, luckily so did our tour leader Richard Melnick a NYC historian, GAHS board member and all around nice guy. It gave us a few minutes to introduce ourselves, chat and for me, to wander around and take a few grunge images while waiting for the rest of the group to arrive. My duties as a volunteer this day was as a "sweeper" meaning I remain in the rear of group and make sure no one wandered off or was left behind. This was great as it gave me ample time to take photos along the way.
I have to say we had a terrific group of people all with a keen interest in learning more about our city's history through Richards highly informative and entertaining discourse, while walking through three boroughs (Manhattan, Bronx & Queens) and over and under three famous bridges. I was especially happy being with photographers who also delight in taking images of urban grit and grime and who didn't think I was nuts when I got all excited about cracks in concrete or rust. They understood 🙂
It had poured the day before and we had grey skies and cool temperatures but, Mother Nature held back the rain this day and although a bit muddy in places the scenery was perfect for real urban photography. I was in my element and started immediately seeing the world around me in the abstract. Looming construction machinery like vividly colored dinosaurs, huge chunks of concrete torn up and thrown around, twisted metal bars tinted with rust, all of it urban free form sculpture. As we traversed over the Harlem River Lift, blue girders rose above like a huge Erector set against a flat grey sky and chain link fencing enclosed us in its steel webbing.
Walking along the banks of the Bronx Kill the flowing waters became a mirror reflecting back a surreal pastoral industrial scene surrounded by lush water plants, weeds and trees. We followed the path beneath the arches of the Hell Gate Bridge that seemed to go on into infinity. We marched on through more greenery until we were at the mouth of the pedestrian walkway of the Triboro Bridge on Randall's Island; a monster chain link tunnel that curves like a vortex pulling you in and pushing you onward. The first glimpse of the magnificent blue steel towers of the Triboro Bridge take your breath away as does the view over the East River towards the arching span of the Hell Gate Bridge flanked by Astoria Park on one side and Randall's Island on the other.
Our walking tour ended when we exited the bridge and stepped foot in good Old Astoria but, we continued the camaraderie in the beer gardens of the historic Bohemian Hall. Here we rested our tired feet and toasted each other and Jane with tall steins of cold beer.
Enjoy the walk.

LG Unveils Rollable and Transparent OLED Display
Posted on July 11, 2014
LG has unveiled a new 18-inch OLED display that is both rollable and transparent. The future will feature very flexible displays that can be rolled up. This will make them very portable and useful for business. It will also mean televisions that can be rolled up and carried around.Flexible screens are not new as a concept but they are now getting closer to mass market production. LG says in a release that its 18-inch display proves that it will be able to launch rollable TVs of 50 inches or larger for the consumer market in the future. Consumers probably are not going to want to be constantly rolling and unrolling their television, but a large 100+ inch rollable screen could be rolled out for a party or movie night. Portable TVs could also be easily moved from room to room. The transparency does not seem as useful for a standard television as you don't really want to see what is behind your TV. However, it does have many uses as a business display.
LG says the TV has an HD resolution of 1200 x 810 with nearly 1 million mega-pixels. The curvature radius is 30R. The company says it plans to have a flexible and transparent Ultra HD OLED TV of 60 inches or more by 2017. It is not clear when these TVs will start being sold at electronics stores but you probably should not expect to be able to own one earlier than late 2017.

According to BASSTrakk, Boyd Duckett is tops out on Oneida right now. He's showing 9 pounds, 15 ounces, with four fish. However, we know he has a little more than that because our on-the-water reporters have said he has a limit, likely going 12 pounds.
Behind him is Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Brent Chapman, who has reported three fish for 8 pounds, 8 ounces. Nate Wellman has 6-10.
Randy Howell isn't showing any weight on BASSTrakk, but we know he has at least one fish, estimated by B.A.S.S. Times editor Dave Precht at around 3 pounds. That puts him neck-and-neck with Wellman.

|Creature Type
|By hit dice
|Monster Manual III, pg. 169
Summoning oozes are the result of summoning circles gone bad. This ooze has arcane runes carved into its protoplasmic flesh, and can summon creatures to its defense. Trained summoning oozes are used to help protect the floating towers of Arcanix, the home of the Arcane Congress.[1][2]
Summoning oozes are usually blood red in color. Vaguely translucent, the summoning ooze has arcane runes carved into its flesh, and these runes glow with an otherworldly light. These lights seem to form a bright golden circle within the ooze, from which the ooze is able to summon other creatures.[1]
In order to better hunt its prey, the summoning ooze has the ability to summon other creatures through a portal it emits from its strange runes; the more powerful the summoning ooze, the more powerful creature it can summon. More powerful oozes can also summon more than one creature. A summoning ooze grows as it devours its prey, splitting when it gets too large. Like most oozes, a summoning ooze also emits a corrosive acid from its flesh.[1]

Protect your pocket electronics - ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protectors
ZAGG isn't paying me for this, I'm just trying to save my readers a busted device.
I'm extremely hard on stuff, especially my pocket electronics. My pockets are jammed with a camera, keys, cell phone, knife, and money clip. This environment normally destroys LCD screens, but I found the antidote. I use ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protectors. These protectors cost 10-20$ per device, are pretty much invisible and protect the screens of every piece of electronics I put in my pocket.
On top of having a great product, ZAGG has awesome customer support. First I incorrectly entered my shipping address, and ZAGG resent my order to the correct address for free. Second, and likely relevant to more people :) , my screen protector got damaged, and ZAGG sent me another one for free (their normal warranty terms). Great product, great company, if you stick a device in your pocket I highly recommend ZAGG.

Justifying the continuation of the ban on the LTTE, the Indian government asserted that the banned organisation continued to be a threat to the country's sovereignty and integrity.
Immediately after the assassination of the former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991, the Union government, which had imposed the ban on the LTTE for the first time in May 1992, had been extending it every two years under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities Act.
As per the law, the Centre had issued a notification banning the organisation on May 14th for another period of two years.
On Friday, Justice V.K. Jain, who constitutes the one-man Tribunal set up under the Act to go into the ban, conducted a hearing in Chennai to decide its validity.
Filing an affidavit before the Tribunal, R.K. Suman, Director of Internal Security, Union Home Ministry said, "Though the LTTE has been decimated, there are reports to indicate that remnant LTTE cadres are trying to regroup and revive the organisation in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere in India.
He also said there were reports that the banned organisation was likely to revive with the assistance of Maoist organisations in the country.

(Granted under the act of March 3, 1883, as amended April 30, 1928; 370 0. G. 757) 13 Claims.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention is a division of my copending application Serial No. 605,175, filed July 14, 1945; and relates to a pressure measuring system and more particularly to equipment for measuring pulsating pressures by electronic means.
It has been proposed to measure pulsating pressures by using pressure responsive diaphragms connected to sensitive carbon pile resistances whose output was recorded by an oscillograph. It was found, however, that where there is any appreciable diaphragm movement, the carbon granules tend to separate from each other, thus giving poor contact which has a nonlinear resistance characteristic, or they may pack together and refuse to follow the diaphragm pulsations. Moreover, upon repeated loading and unloading of the carbon granules which are in contact, the resulting abrasive action tends to pulverize them, whereby the clearance between the granules or carbon pile is continually raised.
The carbon pile devices above described are substantially an adaptation of the carbon button microphone which is used mainly where accurate response may be sacrificed for high output, as in throat microphones presently used by aircraft pilots.
Where optical systems with mirrors cemented to the pressure responsive diaphragm have been tried, the response to the device is so small for the pressure difierentials being measured, that an elaborate optical system is required. The result is that, in most applications, the vibration of the component parts in the optical system causes a greater error than the response of the optical system to the movement of the pressure responsive diaphragm.
A sylphon with mirrors attached has been substituted for the flat diaphragm, but while it provided a greater deflection, the spring rate is so low that the resonant frequency is only from to 20 cycles per second, which is entirely too low to measure the usual pulsating pressures encountered in aerodynamic and hydrodynamic flows. Moreover, the use of a sylphon in this situation is further limited because it expands and contracts with temperature changes which shifts the zero reference, whereby in wind tunnel and flight work the absolute value of the pressure differential is never certain since there is always a considerable temperature change with time in the wind tunnel and with altitude in flight work.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a device of the general character hereinbefore described but so constructed and arranged that it will accurately follow a pulsating pressure and will give a true value of the dynamic components of a pressure differential without shifting the zero reference in response to temperature changes.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a device of the character above described which is operated by electronic means but which requires no outside source of electric current supply.
Other objects and advantages will become evident as the invention is described in greater detail, reference being had to the drawings, where- Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a pressure sensitive device which embodies the principles of my invention.
Fig. 2 is an axial section taken through Fig. 1 at 2-2 showing the interior construction to a somewhat larger scale than Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a diagram of associated equipment which may be used with the device of Figs. 1 and 2 or with the device of Figs. 4 and 5.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of a form of my invention adapted for picking up high frequency pulsating pressures such as occur in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
Fig. 5 is an axial section, taken at 5-5 of Fig. 4, showing the interior construction thereof.
Fig. 6 is a diagram of modified associated equipment which may be used with the devices of Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary section of the pressure sensitive device shown in Fig. 2.
Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.
The direction of stress and consequently strain in any circular diaphragm clamped at the edge and uniformly loaded follows radial lines from the center of the diaphragm outward and becomes a maximum at a position adjacent the clamped edge. The equation for strain at the clamped edge of the diaphragm is:
E 4h E wherein 0=unit strain,
q=distributed load/unit area, r=radius of free diaphragm, h=thickness of diaphragm, E= modulus of elasticity.
In order to design the most effective type of pickup unit for any purpose it is necessary to know the deflection at the center of the diaphragm for various loads. This may be expressed by the equation:
wherein 6=deflecti0n at center of diaphragm,
q=pressure per unit area of diaphragm, r=radius of free diaphragm, p=POiSSlYS ratio.
Reference is made to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 which show a pressure sensitive capsule 3, the operation of which is based on the inductance principle. Parts l3 and 12 together form a housing and at the same time serve as the magnetic elements of the device, having pole pieces l4 and I6 which are provided with permanent magnets ii in the form of collars and A.-C. pickup coils i3 and 23, whereby the need for an outside power source for energizing the windings is eliminated.
A diaphragm 22 is clamped pressure tight at its outer edges between housing parts I3 and i2 by a circular row of screws 24. The joints between the body portions and the diaphragm should be very carefully fitted for the reason that these joints must not only insure against leakage of the reference pressure and the pres-- sure which is to be measured, but must' add a minimum of reluctance to the magnetic circuit. The collars ii are magnetized with like poles adjacent the diaphragm whereby the flux divides and flows in the direction of the arrows 25. Pressure tube connections 26 and 23 are provided, one for each of the two chambers into which the diaphragm divides the interior of the housing. Either of the tube connections may be used to admit a reference pressure to the space on one side of the diaphragm and the other tube connection then used to admit the pulsatin pressure which is to be measured, to the other side of the diaphragm.
Four winding terminals are provided, circumferentially spaced terminals 33 and 32 extending from the space on one side of the diaphragm and circumferentially spaced terminals 34 and 38 extending from the space on the other side of the diaphragm. The terminals 30, 32, 34 and 36 are preferably made of Kovar alloy tubing fitted into glass sleeves 33. The glass sleeves 38 are fitted into flanged bushings 40 also of Kovar" alloy, the Kovar tubular terminals, the glass sleeves and the Kovar flanged bushings being fused together. The Kovar alloy tubular terminals and Kovar bushings and the glass sleeves having the same coeilicient of expansion are readily adapted to this procedure.
The tubular terminals 30, 32, 34 and 36 and the bushings 40 are copper plated and tinned, bushings 40 being soldered into the housing parts thus providing a pressure tight seal for the ter- 4 may be stacked, one upon the other where a plurality of capsules are to be used.
Housing portion In is provided with an annular rib 42 and housing portion l2 with a mating annular groove 44, so that a number of pressure capsules will be in axial alignment when stacked one upon the other. The pitch diameter of the annular rib 42 coincides with the bolt circle of the screws 24, so that any force exerted in clamping together a stack of the capsules will not disturb the clamping of the diaphragm. The height of the annular rib 42 is greater than the depth of the annular groove 44 so that when a stack of the capsules is clamped together, the adjacent housing parts I0 and I2 only touch each other at the aligning annuli and thus eliminate any deflection of the housings of the several clamped together capsules, whereby there will be no change in the air gap between the several diaphragms and pole pieces due to the clamping.
One of the serious difllculties encountered in the design of pressure sensitive devices of the character herein shown is that the sensitivity changes with changes in the temperature of the device. By using Invar steel or other alloys having a very low thermal coefllcient of expansion for the housing parts and the diaphragm, substantially all errors due to temperature variation are eliminated. Similarly by winding the coils with Copel" wire which has a very low temperature coeflicient of resistivity, the change in resistance with temperature change in the two coils of a unit is practically eliminated.
The magnetic circuits may be made indentical electrically by carefully annealing the housing parts after machining and then selecting matched sets.
In the operation of the capsule shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the permanent magnets l5 create a primary flux in the direction of the arrows 26. As shown the magnets i5 each generate a magnetic field which flows through housing parts l3 and I2 and joins at the outer edge of the diaphragm. The flux of these two magnetic fields adds together in the diaphragm as it flows radially inward toward the center pole pieces. When the flux reaches the center of the diaphragm it separates, part entering each pole piece, and continues its path as before. The amount of flux entering a given pole piece is determined by the air gap between the diaphragm and that pole piece. When the air gap between the diaphragm and one pole piece increases and correspondingly decreases the flux flowing therethrough, the air gap between the diaphragm and the other pole piece necessarily decreases and correspondingly increases the flux in said other pole piece.
It follows that variations in the pressure acting on one side of the diaphragm against a uniform reference pressure which is acting upon the other side of the diaphragm, will create movement of the diaphragm, which increases the flux in one magnetic circuit and decreases the flux in the other, corresponding electrical impulses being induced in the pickup coils I3 and 23.
Pickup coils l3 and 20 are preferably wound, one clockwise and the other anticlockwise, two of the terminals 30 and 34 being connected together to arrange the coils in series with the E. M. F. in one coil adding to that in the other. The other two leads 3'2 and 36 are then connected to an amplifier 46, the amplifier to an integrator 46, and the integrator to an oscillograph 50 as shown in Fig. 3.
It is noted that while the structure shown in Fig. 2 may be the preferred form, this device is still operative, though it may be somewhat less effective, when one only of the cup-shaped housin: parts In or l2 are used and the diaphragm is welded or similarly secured to the rim of the cup, thereby enclosing one only of the permanent magnets l5 and one only of the pickup coils l8 or 20 in the single remaining chamber. The remaining pressure connection 26 or 28 may then bring in the pressure to be measured, and the outside of the diaphragm exposed to the ambient air or vice versa. Subcombination claims are accordingly presented to this operative portion of Fig. 2.
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 show a pressure sensitive plug 56 for picking up high frequency pulsating pressures such for instance as may occur in the combustion chambers of internal combustion engines. The lower body portion of the plug 58 is cylindrical at 60 and externally threaded at 62 for screwing into corresponding threads in the head of the engine. A polygonal portion 64' is provided for engagement by a wrench.
The lower body portion may be bored blind, leaving a relatively thick diaphragm 66 integral, or it may be bored through and a like diaphragm attached to the open end by welding or similar means. A series of circumferentially spaced axially extending channels 68 are provided in the bore III, and a like series of radial passageways '|2 communicate respectively with the channels.
The cylindrical portion 60 is internally threaded at 14 to receive an externally threaded part 16 of an upper body portion 18, which may be screwed into the lower body portion by engaging a spanner wrench in wrench opening 19 (see Fig. 4). An elongated pole piece 80 depends integrally from the lower end of the externally threaded part 16, the length of the pole piece being such as to leave an air gap 82 of predetermined width when the upper body part 18 is screwed into place. A central passageway 64 extends upward through the pole piece 80 and joins a lateral internally threaded passageway 86 which is threaded for connection to a coolant.
A tubular permanent magnet 88 surrounds the hollow pole piece 80, the magnetization of the magnet being such that it creates a flux flowing in the direction of the arrows 89. An A.-C. pick-' up coil 90 surrounds the tubular permanent mag- ,net. Wires 92 from the ends of the pickup coil 90 extends upward through insulating sleeves 9| and through tubular terminals 30a and 32a which are fused into glass sleeves 38a which are in turn fused into flanged bushings la, the bushings 40a being soldered into the body portion 18 and the wires 92 being brought out through the tubular terminals 30a, 32a, into the chamber 94 and soldered at 96 substantially as described relative to Fig. 2. Wires may be extended as at 98 to join the tubular terminals 30a and 32a to a conventional terminal plug I which has a flange seated on a shoulder I02 at the upper end of the chamber 94 and soldered or similarly secured thereto. The operation of the pressure sensitive plug shown in Figs. 4 and is as follows:
The assembled pressure sensitive plug is screwed into the opening in the cylinder of the engine to be tested or into a suitable opening in other devices to be tested. The supply of coolant, which should preferably be air or other fluid in order to minimize the cushioning effect on the diaphragm 66, should beconnected to the lateral threaded opening 86, means, not shown, being provided to regulate its flow, temperature and pressure. When required, the cooling fluid may be reduced to a very low temperature by passing is through Dry Ice or other low temperature refrigerant. The flow of coolant should preferably be started as soon as the engine is started since otherwise the diaphragm 66 may become overheated.
The arrangement of the terminal plug IN is such that when it is screwed into place the leads 98 of the pickup coil may be connected to the associated equipment by conductors 32, 36, as shown in Fig. 3, the conductors being connected to the amplifier 46, the amplified output to the integrator 48, and its output to the oscillograph 50. With respect to the pressure sensitive plug, Fig. 5, the pressure of the cooling medium will be the reference pressure and that on the inside of the engine cylinder will be the pressure to be measured. By providing means to control the inflow of the coolant at 86 and suitably restricting the outflow at I2, the desired reference pressure may be maintained.
The permanent magnet 88 maintains the magnetic fiux shown by the arrows which is varied by the displacement of the diaphragm 66 whereby a. pulsating voltage is generated in the pickup coil, which may be amplified, integrated, and recorded substantially as hereinbefore explained and shown in Fig. 3.
When using the pressure sensitive capsules and plug, shown in Figs. 2 and 5, for recording very high frequency pulsations, there is a possibility that the response will not be linear at the higher frequencies because of the change of inductive reactance and eddy current losses in the capsules pickup coils and magnetic circuits at these high frequencies. This nonlinearity may be eliminated by using the associate equipment shown in Fig. 6. The output of the pressure sensitive devices, Fig. 2 or Fig. 5, is taken by leads I04, I06, to an amplifier 18 which is a special wide band amplifier instead of a limited band amplifier 46 as used in Fig. 3. The signal then is passed through the integrator H0, then fed into a spe cial amplifier I I2 where the high frequency components of the signal are amplified more than the low frequency components by a predetermined amount which is adjustable, and which compensates for the possible nonlinearity of the device at these higher frequencies. The signal coming out of the special amplifier H2 is then a true representation of the high frequency pulsations being measured by the pressure sensitive devices of Fig. 2 or Fig. 5. The signal is then observed or recorded by the instrument I M which may be a cathode ray or a recording oscillograph. The individual instruments of Fig. 6 are well known in the art.

text: I don't use terms like "lock", because there is no such thing... But this game is so so sweet. What little doubt I may have had washed away when heavy-running teams Oregon State and Stanford just put up 64 points despite a very slow start. Rice returns virtually its entire offense, led by QB Chase Clement and WR beast Jarett Dillard. This team simply loves to pass and will do so early and often. They will have no trouble at all putting up points on SMU. The main reason the under has been getting hit hard (went from 74.5 to 69.5!) is the benching of Justin Willis, SMU's all-time leading touchdown passer, in favor of a true freshman. But when you think about it, it speaks volumes for how much faith Jones has in this kid; to bench a successful QB in favor of a true freshman is quite an odd move to make. Until you search Bo Levi Mitchell on youtube and watch his highlight reel. He is Colt Brennan reincarnate. Cannon arm, rolls out of the pocket with speed, throws seamlessly cross-body on the move... There just isn't any way this kid won't put up points in a pass happy system on a bad Rice defense. And if he throws 3 picks, guess what... that just means Rice is heading the other way to score! In what should be a true shootout through and through, the over 69.5 is an absolute steal. The question then is who wins? All of the tiebreakers go to Rice; - At Home - Returning offensive players and coach, as opposed to new QB and new coach/system in SMU - Motivation; while SMU will be motivated under new coach Jones, Rice has high hopes this year and also lost their season opener embarrassingly to Nicholls State last year; they will be amped up to make sure this does not happen again. -3.5 points isn't bad at all, but to be super safe, the ML should suffice. Clock stops on 1st downs and incomplete passes and there will be a whole hell of a lot of em. Do not miss this. The public/bookmakers are so worried about Thursday and Saturday's games that they apparently let this one slip through the cracks. "Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours! "

About Ella
Hey! My name is Ella, I am 21 years old and I've always loved animals, especially dogs. After years of begging my parents with written up contracts about why we should have a dog of our own, they finally gave in and back home we now have our lovely 10 year old lab called Daisy! (As you can see from my pictures, she takes up most of my camera roll!) I love walking her every day and enjoy being outdoors and meeting other people and their cute dogs!
I have recently moved to Edinburgh where I am studying Nursing but have found myself missing the outdoors and the energy of animals! I have a fun and friendly personality and feel I can get to know people and animals very easily.
I am not in a currently in a position where I can have a dog stay at mine (but I will when I find my own place in a year) but can very easily hop on a bus to you! I can dogsit for a day, stay over night or just take your pup for a walk! Whatever you need!
I am a lot of fun and will play with your extra family member until they get bored of me - not the other way around! :)
- Property type: Apartment
- Resident dogs: 0

This year's Lexus ES 350 offers many luxury features—"enough gizmos to embarrass a Best Buy salesman," Motor Trend says.
Standard features include "real wood trim on the doors and center console, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, keyless access and start, and chic LED lighting," Cars.com reports. Mother Proof comments that despite its relatively high cost, "you get so much with this car that you don't necessarily get with same-priced SUVs!" Some of the "mom-friendly goodies" reported on here include a backseat skylight, LATCH connectors, and a first aid/tool kit.
Cars.com reports other "noteworthy options" include a panorama glass roof, a power rear sunshade, front and rear parking sensors, and a voice-activated navigation system with rearview camera that "makes judging the distance between the ES 350's back bumper and another car or object a breeze." Audiophiles will appreciate the "Mark Levinson Surround Sound" stereo system, and one can watch DVD movies on the navigation screen when the Lexus ES 350 is parked.

I browsed my own Forum (XF version 1.0.4, default style, no add-ons installed) and discovered the following issue:
So I have a thread containing a YouTube-video and a text underneath that video in the very first post of a thread. The thread only consists of one post.
When going to a thread which contains a YouTube-video (the video is located at the very top in the first forum-post), then it is not possible to scroll-down to see the text which is posted underneath the embedded video.
I have also browsed some other threads of my forum which do not contain a video, and "scrolling down" in that thread was working fine.
Not sure, but could this be a bug somehow?

Dear Maddie,
I pray that you are at peace, and that your soul is being looked after the way I can no longer look after you in body. I can't even put into words how much you have meant to me these past 12 years. You have been a loyal, sweet, peaceful companion. I still don't want to imagine life without you. It hurts to think about you not being there every day when I get home, greeting me with your wagging tail and rushing to the door so you can bask in the sun. I am so happy for you that you got to have a final moment in the sun before you left us, but it also breaks my heart to remember the pain of that moment and the reality setting in for me of what was happening.
In the past 12 years, outside of my family you have been my only true, loyal companion. As I have experienced the heartache of break-ups, rifts between friends, and the ups and downs of school, you have been a constant presence for me. I always felt a sense of peace by just lying on the ground next to you, petting your head and belly, and just enjoying your presence. I know you never understood what was going on in my life, but you were always there for me, excited to see me. You hated it when I cried, and you always found a way to comfort me, just by pressing your face by mine and sniffing my face as the tears came out. You were the one friend who never judged, criticized, or betrayed me in any way. You were loyal the whole way through, and I love you so much for that.
You have always been such a sweet, sweet girl. You deserved so much more than this ending. You deserve to be here still. You were still healthy and vibrant, regardless of your age. You had time left to run, sniff, lay in the sun, and explore outside. You should still be here right now. I have so much anger and sadness inside of me. I am so horribly sorry that we didn't save you. We should have seen what was happening. The vet should have figured it out earlier and stopped it. The poison that you ate when we weren't looking should have given you symptoms that would have alerted us when we could have still saved you. None of this is fair or right. None of this should have happened to you. I love you so much Maddie. My heart is broken. You are irreplaceable, and I will carry you with me always.
I love you Maddie,

Grosvenor Square
Prostests against the Vietnam War
1/ About the address
Grosvenor Square is a large garden square in the wealthy Mayfair district of London, in England.
Grosvenor Square was one of the three or four most fashionable residential addresses in London from its construction until the Second World War, with numerous leading members of the aristocracy in residence. It is the place where young people demonstrated against the Vietnam war in 1968.
Grosvenor Square today;
In the center of the square there is a statue of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
2/ About the Theme
It's the centerpiece of the Mayfair property of the Duke of Westminster and takes it's names from their surname "Grosvenor".
On18 March 1968 there was a huge demonstration against the Vietman war. There were 300 arrests; 86 people were treated for injuries, and 50 including 25 policemen were taken to hospital.
It was really very violent.
Demonstrators threw stones, bottles, firecracker and smoke bombs.
Later john Lawlor, the commander in charge of the police covering the demonstration said : "The demonstration degenerated into a disorderly rabble."
After marching from Trafalgar square with Vanessa Redgrave, among other famous people at their head, thousand of young people burst into the gardens in front of the American Embassy.
The demonstrators were forced back by policemen.
Mr David Bruce, the American Ambassador thanked the police.
More than 1000 police officers were waiting for the demonstrators in Grosvenor Square.
About 2000 spectators had gathered at the corners of the square to wait for the demonstrators.
It was violent protest !
The public proceedings were filmed, and later turned into a documentary movie. The film Bed Peace was made available for free on youtube in august 2011 by Yoko Ono, as part of her website "Imagine Peace".
Importance of the song imagine...!
4/ Mystery picture
It's a statue of president in a square.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Saturn vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Auto enthusiasts know that good looks is built into each Saturn, and know that only the highest quality replacement SW1 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Saturn vehicle enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliable service when driving their SW1 around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Brake Line & Hose for your vehicle.
A properly functioning hydraulic brake system gives you and your passengers a sense of safety when you want to slow down. That means your Saturn SW1 brake lines or hoses need to be free of leaks at all times. Hydraulic brake lines connect the brake calipers or wheel cylinders to the master cylinder on your car or truck. Every time you apply the brakes on your Saturn SW1, the brake fluid gets sent directly to the parts that stop your vehicle. If there's a leak in a brake hose, then you should feel much less response from the brake pedal when you depress it.
Get your SW1 back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Brake Line & Hose bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Saturn SW1 part for your project or repair. All the Saturn SW1 Brake Line & Hose parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993. Choose your year below to refine your search.
