Mr. Nahmad added: "Our leadership continues its pursuit of increasing revenues and margins through partnerships with strong manufacturers and contractors to produce the best results the market will yield. Our strong balance sheet, dense geographic coverage and solid relationships give us the ability to take advantage of changing market conditions and expansion opportunities as they become available." Cash Flow and Dividends Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter was a record $120 million versus $56 million in 2010. For the full year, operating cash flow was $61 million and includes the use of $87 million to fund incremental vendor payments from one-time changes in payment terms and the purchase of previously consigned inventory. Excluding these payments, adjusted operating cash flow for the year was $148 million (approximately $4.83 per diluted share). Since 2000, Watsco's operating cash flow was approximately $900 million compared to net income of approximately $700 million, far surpassing the Company's stated goal of generating cash flow greater than net income. Dividends paid in 2011 increased 11% to $73 million. In January 2012, the Company raised its quarterly dividend rate 9% to 62 cents per share. Watsco has paid dividends for over 38 consecutive years and 2012 will mark the eleventh year of paying increasing dividends.

I try and keep my two blogs from overlapping. This one is where I try and discuss technical stuff and my personal blog is where I discuss things going on in my life outside of work (for the most part). However yesterday I posted a few observations on my use of social networking that I think is also of interest (I hope) to folks that follow me here.
I would be interested in feedback as to what other folks are using and why.
A few thoughts on my use of social networking

Agent's Listings (1)
Matthew Warner
Born and raised on the North Shore of Vancouver. I have always had a true love for Westcoast activities. I began to ski at the age of three. My father also born and raised in Vancouver used to hike up the "cut" on Grouse Mountain, ski down and hike back up again. Skiing was the central activity of the Warner family.Visiting Whistler in 1970 was to be a life changing moment. We purchased a condominium in Whistler in 1979 and I can truly say I have seen Whistler evolve from its infancy to the World Class Resort that it is today. I fondly remember skiing the very long Olympic Run to the main Village what was then the land refuse site and catching a shuttle bus back to Whistler Creek.After receiving my Marketing degree I moved full time to Whistler in 1987 to embark on my real estate career. With the growth and expansion taking place in Whistler during the late 80's and my love for the outdoors, it was a natural fit. My other passions are tennis whereby I am a Level 2 tennis instructor, squash which is my main activity to this day and of course skiing and Cross Country skiing. I have consistently been a top producer in Whistler and strive to give my clients exemplary service that is honest, accountable with the highest level of integrity. This has worked well for me as much of my business is from past clients and referrals of my past clients. I feel that RE/MAX Sea to Sky Real Estate offers the best marketing, branding and on-line presence available in the real estate industry.
I specialize in Luxury Homes and Condominiums.

Some other problems with your understanding. The 1.5MM you quote as his salary is including bonuses which he wouldn;t have received. His actual salary is $950K. Also in the new CBA those bonuses aren't included in the cap hit.
Also I'm not 100% certain on this point, but I'm pretty sure salary paid is based on days on the roster not games. So if the season is 200 days in length for example, and he was on the roster for 20 days, 1/10 of his cap hit would go to the Jets and he would get paid 1/10 of his salary.
Players share of HRR is based on actual salary paid. Cap hit is not. A players cap hit could be much higher or lower than his actual salary. Also certain players dumped in the minors would have a cap hit associated with their contract but their salary would not count against the players share.
For juniors eligibles ....I belive they are paid their per game rate if they play the game or sit in the pressbox (or if they were injured). But the game checks paid do not count against junior eligible status. Its only the games dressed to play count against the 9 games max per 82 game season.

A different sort of day today, Saturday the 6th, as we went to museums. Of course the other days have been museum-like experiences but these were straight museums. We got a taxi to the first one – taxis here are almost the same price as buses when you have 4 in the taxi, so when it is convenient we have been using them.
Barcelona's Gaudi
Gaudi Houses
It's now Thursday 4 May, and we first walked to look at a number of Antonio Gaudi houses in Passeig de Gracia – the Champs Elyssee of Barcelona – a short walk from where we are living. They are amazing as you will see from the pictures. The style of art and architecture at the turn of the 20th-century has been given different terms in different countries – including Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Secessionist, Reformist, and Modernismo here in Spain.
Breathtaking Barcelona
Left Valencia today, Tuesday 2 May, walking 20 minutes to the station to catch the 10.05am train to Barcelona. We were there by 2pm. We had directions to go to the restaurant of our AirBnB hostess's father – so this we did and ordered his menu of the day as Joelie and Ken had not yet arrived. Not long after we started eating Ken turned up, then went and got Joelie so we had our reunion as we finished our lunch. That of course was a lot of fun.
The apartment we are sharing is in L'Eixample (pron. 'lay-sharm-pla'), one of the central areas in Barcelona. It is a very nice quirky place. Our hostess, Nadia, is an artist, Joelie thinks, either a teacher or a student, and the apartment certainly reflects that. For example, our coffee table is 3 suit cases of different size on top of each other at fetching angles. On one wall in large different font letters is the word PAELLA – for which Barcelona is famous. A macrame hanging seat hangs in the sitting area, like a sitting up hammock. The book shelves are a series of packing boxes. Enough details to remind us of the place. It is very comfortable, in addition to the living-dining rooms, two bedrooms with comfy double beds, plenty of cupboard space, a washing machine which the Wilkos have already used for their very large number of dirty clothes. So, well set up for the week.
Saturday the 29th involved a long bus trip. We left Granada at 11.45am and got to Valencia at 7.30pm. We had one 45 minute stop for lunch and then a couple of 5 minute ones. The time went very fast. Al spent most of the time working on photos for the blog, and I read the Saturday and Sunday Age from cover to cover. The countryside, as always, was great to watch. Quite mountainous at times, and at other times we were travelling along the coast, passing beach-side towns, very built up, many high-rise – a bit like the Gold Coast only much bigger. We had fabulous front seats so had an uninterrupted view. Also made friends with an Ozzie called Julie who lives in Elwood. About mid 40s, she is woman who teaches at Brighton Primary. She is on long service leave and travelling alone for 4 months. Gutsy!
Grand Granada II
The Graffiti Walk – Thursday 27 April
We had noticed that the Lonely Planet describes what they call a Graffiti Walk. Granada has a great deal of modern street art, the most well known artist being El Niño de las Pinturas. The walk focuses on the art but in the process takes you through two of Granadas most definitive neighbourhoods. It took us the best part of 4 hours, and we walked a long way although we also popped in at various interesting looking places as we went.
Grand Granada I
We travelled from Córdoba to Granada on Tuesday 25 April, first by train to Antiquera and then by bus for the rest of the journey as the new rail link is still under construction. (We hear the delay is due to a dispute between the Granada and Seville authorities – sounds like a local council dispute with which we are quite familiar!). Quite a quick trip – we were in Granada by around 4pm.
Córdoba II – still colourful!
Sunday 23 April
Another fabulous sleep all round, not waking till 9am on day three in beautiful Córdoba. That doesn't matter here as nothing starts before 10. Not sure about schools, but certainly shops. It means we are not at venues when they open at 10, but we remind ourselves we are on holidays!

Location: Bioenergy Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Objective 1: Starting with industrial strains of yeast, develop new commercially-viable strains that have (1) improved inhibitor tolerance and (2) wide sugar-substrate specificity for fermenting lignocellulosic hydrolyzates to fuel ethanol. Objective 2: Develop (1) microbial based pretreatment and (2) simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) technologies that will enable commercially-viable processes for converting lignocellulosic feedstocks to fuel ethanol. Objective 3: Develop novel technologies that enable commercially-preferred processes for producing fuel-grade butanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks. Objective 4: Develop fermentative and enzymatic based technologies that will enable commercially-preferred processes for the production of xylitol from lignocellulose hydrolyzates.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
The overall goal of this project is to develop commercially-targeted, integrated bioprocess technologies for production of biofuels and value-added coproducts from lignocellulosic feedstocks. The plan will emphasize microbiologically based approaches to overcome technical constraints that impede industrial applications. Our target is to use corn stover as a model lignocellulosic feedstock for ethanol, butanol, and xylitol production. This research will focus on screening for yeast (Saccharomyces) strains that can tolerate the fermentation inhibitors typically formed during certain pretreatments of lignocellulosic biomass and developing a recombinant S. cerevisiae strain that can efficiently ferment both glucose and xylose derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks. We will develop a microbial pretreatment at the laboratory scale and a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process for production of ethanol from a microbially pretreated feedstock using the recombinant S. cerevisiae strain developed in this project plan. We will identify and characterize the fermentation stimulating/enhancing chemicals present in dilute acid hydrolyzate of wheat straw and develop an integrated SSF with product recovery (SSFR) using ionic liquid or vacuum for efficient production of butanol which is very toxic to the fermentative bacterium. Finally, we will develop batch and fed-batch fermentation processes for production of xylitol from the hemicellulosic hydrolyzates of corn stover and a cell-free enzymatic method with cofactor regeneration for its production. This research project will greatly help to overcome the fermentation related challenges associated with the production of biofuels and coproducts from lignocellulosic feedstocks.
3. Progress Report:
Substantial progress was made in all FY12 sub-objectives of this project, which address research needs to develop commercially-targeted, integrated bioprocess technologies for production of biofuels from biomass. The sub-objectives emphasize microbiologically based approaches to overcome technical constraints that impede industrial applications. The following are specific examples of significant research developments. Over 150 yeast strains, of mixed genetic background and from a variety of habitats, were screened for tolerance against inhibitors resulting from biomass pretreatment processes. A number of strains showed promise with tolerance to inhibitors that exceed existing production and experimental strains. Ability of a bioabatement microbe to remove acetate from biomass hydrolyzate was determined. Using conventional yeast and strains engineered to ferment xylose, the effect of acetate on conversion of rice hull hydrolyzate to ethanol was examined. Acetate had a negative effect on xylose consumption by the engineered yeast strain. We discovered that natural xylose utilizing yeasts are able to produce several proteins required for xylose use, while brewers' yeast could not. Initial attempts to induce these genes led to growth inhibition due to inappropriate expression when the proteins were not needed. To fix this problem, we developed a new method to express the proteins only when needed. This method allows for control of protein production in response to xylose availability. Several enzymes for xylose use were identified from intestinal bacteria. The best enzyme was expressed in yeast which was then adapted for improved growth on xylose. This adapted yeast grows four-fold better on xylose and is being adapted further for better ethanol production. To develop microbial based pretreatment of biomass, we optimized the conditions for pretreatment of corn stover by three white rot fungal strains. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentations of corn stover pretreated under optimized conditions using one fungal strain were investigated using a laboratory yeast strain, a recombinant xylose utilizing yeast, and a mixed sugar utilizing ethanologenic recombinant bacterium. Good yields of fuel ethanol were achieved from corn stover pretreated by the fungus in all cases which demonstrate that pretreatment of corn stover by the selected fungus is an effective pretreatment option. Separation of butanol from fermentation broth using ionic liquids was investigated. The selected ionic liquid was found to have a high rate of butanol removal capacity from the fermentation. However, recycling of the ionic liquid encountered a number of problems such as high density, high viscosity, and difficulty in separating suspended particles. For this reason, a new product separation technique called vacuum fermentation was investigated. Using vacuum fermentation, simultaneous production, and recovery of butanol were efficiently achieved which successfully relieved the product toxicity.
4. Accomplishments
1. Developed a method to recover butanol biofuel from fermentation broth. Butanol can be produced from economically available agricultural residues such as corn stover, wheat straw, and barley straw by fermentation where a bacterial culture converts the sugars generated from agricultural residues into butanol. However, to make butanol production economically viable, butanol should be removed simultaneously (as it is produced) from the fermentation vessel because butanol above a certain concentration inhibits its further production by the bacterium. Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Bioenergy Research Unit scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Peoria, IL, developed a novel product recovery technique that allows simultaneous recovery of butanol from the fermentation medium. In this process, vacuum was applied to the fermentation vessel where butanol was produced. As a result of vacuum, butanol was recovered simultaneously. The newly developed process enables more efficient production of butanol by fermentation.
2. Ethanol production from microbially pretreated corn stover. Typically, harsh chemical methods using acid and high temperature are used to pretreat corn stover before its breakdown to sugars by enzymes. This costly and energy-intensive pretreatment step is necessary because without it, the corn stover is very resistant to breakdown by enzymes. However, the harsh pretreatment also generates compounds that inhibit the process for producing ethanol from sugars derived from corn stover. Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Bioenergy Research Unit scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Peoria, IL, have found that corn stover pretreated with a white rot fungus could be converted to fermentable sugars without production of inhibitors. The pretreated corn stover was converted to ethanol in good yield by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. This demonstrates that pretreatment of corn stover by the fungal strain under optimized conditions is an effective pretreatment option.
3. Discovered chemotaxis to furans by furan-metabolizing bacteria. Furan molecules occur naturally in the environment and are also important because they interfere with green processes to convert biomass to fuels and chemicals. Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Bioenergy Research Unit scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Peoria, IL, working with a scientist at the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MN, showed that some bacteria exhibit chemotaxis to furans. Chemotaxis is a behavior shown by bacteria, in which they detect and migrate to food sources in their environment. This finding showed that some bacteria have a behavioral response to an entirely new class of compounds that had not previously been examined. This framework for understanding furan metabolism contributes to efforts both to degrade furans in situations where they are undesirable (such as in biofuel production) and to make useful chemical building blocks from furans.
4. Robust yeast strains for biofuels and bioproducts. Although a number of different pretreatment processes have been undertaken to reduce inhibitory substances in biomass feedstocks, challenges remain as the inhibitory compounds reduce productivity and cost-effectiveness. To overcome the problem associated with inhibitors, Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Bioenergy Research Unit scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Peoria, IL, have collected and screened for yeast strains which are inhibitor-resistant with a number of strains demonstrating inhibitor tolerance that is equal to or greater than existing production and/or experimental strains. These inhibitor tolerant yeast strains will serve as a platform for development and afford the opportunity to improve productivity and cost-effectiveness of biofuels and bioproducts.

What is Real 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry and How To Identify It?
What is Real 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry and How To Identify It?
If you're considering buying 925 Sterling Silver, you will no doubt want to know the difference between pure silver and 925 sterling silver. Well, pure silver is not really made up of only silver. It has 99.9% of silver, and a small content composed of other metals such as copper.
Sterling Silver, on the other hand, consists of 92.5% silver, and the remaining part consists of copper – mostly copper. This is the reason why Sterling Silver is popularly referred to as 925 Sterling Silver or just 925 Silver.
The reason silver needs to be combined with other metals is that it is very difficult to make great designs with just pure silver, which is very soft and malleable. A bit of hardness has to be introduced, by adding other metals such as copper. That's why jewelers are capable of making the most intricate and complex designs with 925 Sterling Silver.
Importance of Buying Real 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver Price Per Ounce :
925 Sterling Silver jewelry certainly does not come cheap. It requires quite an investment from your side, whether you are buying a sterling silver pendant or a necklace. But it is a worthwhile investment as its value increases with time. What is very important though is not to be duped into buying fake 925 sterling silver jewelry.
This is a serious issue because many jewelers are known to sell fake sterling silver necklaces, rings, earrings and so on. Sterling silver is much cheaper than costlier metals such as gold, and yet, fake imitations of sterling silver jewelry are sold in the market.
For instance, it is common to come across silver plated jewelries that are sold as real sterling silver jewelries. Just jewelries have only a minimal silver content and are bound to deteriorate, sooner than later.
That is why, knowing how to identify real 925 sterling silver from the fake ones will be of a great help to you and save you from much pain later.
The techniques described here will help you do just that – to identify real sterling silver jewelry from the fake ones that are sold by certain untrustworthy sellers.
#1. Rub the jewelry using a soft white cloth. If you find any back marks on the cloth, then you can be sure that it is made of real sterling silver. This is because any air exposure causes real sterling silver to oxidize. This causes them to deteriorate with time, and the reason why black marks are found on the cloth they are polished with.
#2. Do The Nitric Acid Test. When drops of nitric acid are added to fake non-silver jewelries, they cause them to lose their color. Always ask a jeweler before buying 925 sterling silver from him if you can conduct the nitric acid test on it.
Nitric acid has no effect on real s925 sterling silver, so if the jeweler is selling you a genuine product, he won't have any objection to that. But be sure to wear gloves and protect your eyes with goggles while doing the nitric acid test.
If the jewelry is made of real sterling silver, the part on which you drop the nitric acid will appear creamy in color, otherwise, if fake, it will appear green.
#3. Use the Smell Test. Real sterling silver shouldn't smell. If it does, it is because there is too much copper in it.
#4. Use the Magnet Test. This is a simple test. Magnets have no effect on silver – just as they have no effect on gold or platinum. But if you find that the jewelry is attracted to the magnet, then it will be clear to you that it is not made of real sterling silver.
#5. Real sterling silver jewelry will have markings such as "Ster," "925" or "Sterling Silver" in a hidden area. If you don't see such a marking, be wary of it immediately.
You can save yourself a lot of trouble by purchasing real sterling silver jewelry from a genuine and reputable jeweler such as Prjewel.com. Prjewel.com has established an excellent reputation as a seller of real, solid and the most beautifully crafted 925 Sterling Silver jewelry. Visit prjewel.com to know more.

Do you sell Sterling Silver bell caps for small gemstones?
Has to be marked 925 or Sterling
Posted on by Lisa Lannom
I want to thank you for the informative article! I have a couple of questions. Wouldn't silver-plated pieces also leave black marks on the polishing cloth? After all it is silver over another metal.
Also, I have a lot of sterling silver jewelry that does, mildly, attract a magnet. Most of it came from reputable jewelry stores. Is pure silver now mixed with steel for strength?
Thank you for your time and consideration!

But there was one case that the court voted on at conference with Jackson participating -- and decided after his death.
It involved a motion by Abraham J. Isserman, a defense attorney for leaders of the American Communist Party, to overturn his expulsion as a member of the Supreme Court bar. Isserman had been disbarred by the state of New Jersey because he had been found in contempt of a federal court.
On April 6, 1953, the Supreme Court ruled that this was grounds to strip him of his Supreme Court bar membership as well. The vote was 4 to 4; sufficient, under the court's then-prevailing rules, to uphold a disbarment. Justice Tom C. Clark did not participate. Jackson dissented.
Then two things happened: Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson, who had voted to disbar Isserman, was replaced by Earl Warren. And the court changed its rules. Now, a tie would favor Isserman.
Isserman asked the court for a rehearing. His petition was considered at conference during the first week of October, with Jackson participating. Warren and Clark sat the case out -- leaving only seven justices participating.
Isserman's request for a rehearing was granted by the required majority vote of 4 to 3, with Jackson and the other three dissenters now in the majority, according to John Q. Barrett, Jackson's biographer and a professor of law at St. John's University. The same 4 to 3 majority voted in favor of Isserman's remaining in the bar.
On Oct. 9, Jackson died. But five days later the court issued its ruling in Isserman's case, under the heading "decided October 14, 1954."
The fact that the court did not dismiss the case shows that it let Jackson's conference vote in favor of granting a rehearing stand.
But the court's brief unsigned opinion strongly implies that it did not count Jackson's vote in favor of Isserman on the merits of the case. Rather than declaring that Isserman had won 4 to 3, it noted only that "a majority of the Justices participating did not find ground for disbarment." Then it listed the names of three dissenting justices -- suggesting that the end result was a 3 to 3 tie.

Fusion cuisine combines the best of both worlds, much like when Jupiter crashes into Mars next year. Let flavors collide with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $15 for $30 worth of Puerto Rican and Caribbean cuisine
- See the menu.
Co-owner Luis Saldana thinks of Tumbao as a cultural experience as well as a restaurant. The food clings to its Caribbean roots, but chefs also repurpose familiar ingredients, using them to create innovative new dishes or a new line of edible jewelry. Alongside flaky chicken and bean empanadas made in-house, cooks create distinctive jibaritos by sandwiching patties of grilled steak or chicken in between fried plantains.
Even the drink selection includes specialty cocktails that depart from the norm, including passion fruit-, raspberry-, and mango-flavored margaritas and mojitos. Drink-toting diners can remain on the club's dance floor until 3 a.m., when the restaurant closes its doors and turns into a nuclear laboratory. Patrons can belt out tunes every Wednesday during karaoke sessions and live salsa bands or DJs entertain guests on select nights, supplying bachata and merengue rhythms to get toes tapping and hips swaying.

It's a British Council Showcase year in Edinburgh this August, but the biannual festival of some of the best work available for export has some welcome competition this year from the Made In Scotland initiative, a brilliant and diverse programme supported by the Scottish government's Festivals Expo Fund. There are some terrific shows here, including the revival of David Greig's little charmer of a love story, Midsummer, Puppet State Theatre Company's The Man Who Planted Trees and Nic Green's inspiring Trilogy. Also included is the Grid Iron company, which has been at the forefront of work made in the UK for many years and was one of the first to embrace the possibilities of site-related theatre. This piece, played out in a real bar, is adapted from the stories of Charles Bukowski and looks at the liberating and imprisoning effects of alcohol.

The chancellor, Alistair Darling, found relief from his difficulties yesterday when the public finances started the new financial year with a modest surplus.
The Office for National Statistics said public-sector net borrowing (PSNB) rebounded to a surplus of £500m in April, beating analysts' forecasts for a deficit of £1.5bn. In the same month last year PSNB was £200m. Things are likely to get worse for Darling for the rest of the year as the slowing economy, stalling housing market and impact of last week's giveaway mini-budget squeeze the public purse.
David Page, an economist at Investec, said: "It's a better start to the year than expected on the PSNB measure but the first month of the year doesn't give much away. This year is likely to be a tough one."
The ONS said the monthly figures did not include the reclassification of Northern Rock as a public company. It said the delay was to ensure that commercially sensitive information was not disclosed.
Preliminary estimates suggested the inclusion of Northern Rock on government accounts had pushed public sector net debt as a percentage of GDP to 43.1% in March this year. This is above the 40% ceiling set by the Treasury, though Darling said any impact on public finances would be "temporary and exceptional". Excluding Northern Rock, public sector net debt was estimated at 36.7% of GDP.
Howard Archer, of Global Insight, said: "There seems little doubt that April's better than expected public finances will prove a false dawn for the chancellor. Markedly weaker economic growth will take an increasing toll."

Jeri and his sister, Meri were found scrounging for themselves on rural and unoccupied land. They were both timid and scared so it took a while to coax them out from their hiding space. But, once Jeri decided to trust, his little sister followed his lead, as she always does.
Jeri is always the first of the two to try new things or to greet new people. Once you've earned his trust, he's a very loving and playful boy who adores attention from his human. He will probably always be wary of strangers. Jeri plays well with other dogs once he's had a chance to get to know them. We don't think either would be good with little children because of their timidness and their Terrier tendencies.
Rat Terriers have a lot of energy and many are good at agility & obedience training which also serves as excellent exercise.
Jeri is neutered, vaccinated and on HW preventative. You can speak to his foster parents to learn more by calling 662-342-9448 or emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com

Is not peculiar a commission that exclusively works for women, receives a number of complaints from men too.
Spousal abuse is not just faced by women, but there are a growing number of men who are at the receiving end of harassment, and face physical and psychological abuse at the hands of their wives. What's worse, the humiliation and shame of this act going public forces them to keep their mouth shut.
It shows there is need for a commission which addresses the problems of men too. Domestic violence against men in India is not recognized by the law.The general perception is that men cannot be the victims of violence.
However Most men approaching Delhi Commission for Women with complains stating wives and families harass them for money, property or simply divorce. There are cases of sexual harassment too. Some complaints are lodged by men against men.
DCW Chairperson, Swati Maliwal, told Mail Today, "Initially, we were surprised that men were walking into our office, in spite of the name itself saying Delhi Commission for Women. Most of the complaints pertain to wives inflicting mental, emotional and even physical torture on their husbands. Most seem genuine so we are not turning them away."
DCW cites the case of 30-yearold Parwinder (name changed) whose wife declared that she had a lover and wanted to annul the marriage on the wedding night. When he informed her brothers, they threatened to kill his family unless he kept the woman. She consumed sleeping pills once and set herself on fire and called police stating that she was being burnt for dowry.
A senior official said the procedure adopted during such cases ranges from counseling the accused wife to lodging an FIR against her. "If it is a case of counseling, we either made the couple sit with their respective families and discuss their problem or send them to the Delhi Legal Services Authority (DLSA) for mediation.

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor is better known (and easier to pronounce!) as Lorde. Taking in influences from vocalist Grimes to the haunting sounds of Lana Del Rey, sprinkled with the alt-electro of James Blake, Lorde has somehow managed to find mainstream pop success whilst still keeping a dark and alternative edge. Her hypnotic debut single 'Royals' had massive worldwide success, reaching number one in the UK, US and her native New Zealand.
With a voice mature beyond her years, not only is she is the first ever New Zealand artist to have a US number one, but she is also the youngest artist to reach number one in the past 25 years (she was a mere 16 at the time, with Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now' being the last time America saw such a young chart topper).

Cindy from Rough Luxe and I both wanted to create one and thought it would be fun to ask other bloggers to do it with us.
You can get sneak peeks on Instagram of everyone's gallery walls by following #projectdesigngallerywalls
What a fun series Mary Ann! I especially love the layout of the antique prints in that last photo you shared. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with this time.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing. I like a few of the shots you have shared. I enjoyed the idea of trying to blend art with a TV and Liana's office area is pretty as well. I am looking forward to the next post in the installment.ReplyDelete
I love all of your inspiration Mary Ann, especially the image showing the oil paintings you arranged flanking your client's bookcases - that whole space is just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
These are all wonderful! I especially love the "disguise the tv" one. I need to do that in another space here. I hope my mom will check out the oil painting one because she paints, and your arrangement of those pieces was beautiful. The choice of frames is so important, and those in that gallery are perfect for the space.ReplyDelete
Beautiful inspiration, Mary Ann. Love Lianna's wall!! Can't wait to see yours - know it will be amazing!!ReplyDelete
Very nice! You are great at gallery walls.ReplyDelete
Love all the walls...I like the empty frame on Liana''s wall. (I have a sister named Liana). I have a beautiful frame and wasn't sure what to put in it...
Now I know...nothing!
Mary Ann you are a master at this. Hanging Gallery walls is NOT easy and they do make such an impact when done right!
The Arts by Karena
Great examples and I think my favorite is in Liannas workshop office, love all of the colors and the configuration. Fun series and good idea will give your readers some great ideas.
Happy Monday,
this will be great fun mary ann, honored to be here with you!
This will be a fun challenge to follow.....Love the way you worked the TV into your son's room.ReplyDelete
This is such a fun idea Mary Ann. And you're so good at these gallery walls, I can't wait to see what you come up with this time. Thanks for including me, it's motivating me to actually finish a whole room. :)
I love the black and white and gold combination you did. Well I like all of them but that is my favorite! I have really been wanting to try something like that somewhere. Liana's is gorgeous as well.ReplyDelete
Mary Ann,
You've done some beautiful wall galleries. I especially like the one where you were attempting to disguise the t.v. Mission accomplished! I love the way that turned out. It will be fun to see what this talented group of designers come up with.
I love all your gallery walls Mary Ann and I'm excited to follow this series to learn more on how to do gallery wall properly!ReplyDelete
This is a fun group of bloggers and great topics to address! LOVE gallery walls and always will!ReplyDelete
You've done some great gallery walls in the past so I know whatever you create this time around will be fab!ReplyDelete
You have such a talent for gallery walls, which isn't always that easy! I loved Liana's wall and desk area, I could be happy sitting in that chair! I also enjoyed all the other blogs participating in the "Gallery Wall" posts!
The gallery wall is one of my favorite design features! Your photos are great inspiration!
xo. Leslie
Segreto Finishes
I love a good gallery wall! Getting ready to tackle a large wall for a client, so I look forward to the inspiration :) Great idea, Mary Ann!!ReplyDelete
I have several gallery walls in my house. I seem to favor asymmetrical arrangements except in my powder room where things are more formally arranged. Asymmetry is easier for me since I'm rather spontaneous and don't like to take the time to measure things to line them up. I have done symmetrical arrangements for clients.
I arrange my gallery walls by subject and/or technique. I have oil painted landscapes in my powder room, black and white family photos in the hallway, gallery wrapped reproductions of pictures I took in Italy, oil pastels of food in my kitchen nook and ink drawings by my mother-in-law in my dining room.
I like how this enables me to display more pieces of art. Most of my art has a personal connection or story and living with them all around us helps my family feel connected to our extended family and cherished memories.
This is a lovely project and I look forward to seeing how you and the other bloggers incorporate gallery walls into your homes.
What a fantastic idea! You know I think you can do no wrong, and your gallery walls are fantastic. Looking forward to following along.
P.S. I spy on Liana's desk the Rifle Paper calendar I sent her as a thank you...it makes me smile that she liked it enough to it use on her stylish desk :) (and she's gorgeous!)
Wow, you've done quite a few of these! Love the photos around the TV - very striking!ReplyDelete
You are clearly a master at this! It definitely needs a good eye to get it right and yours are all perfect. Xx SharonReplyDelete
You have quite the talent for gallery walls!!! It's great to see them all together, I love all the diverse styles!ReplyDelete

HTC Windows Phone 8X vs Apple iPhone 5
0. phoneArena posted on 09 Nov 2012, 02:53
Now that Windows Phone 8 is finally here, we guess some users (not many, but some) will think about purchasing a WP8 handset. So, here we are, bringing you in-depth comparisons between the leading WP8 handsets and the iPhone, as well as the major Android handsets. In this article, we'll take a look at how the HTC Windows Phone 8X stacks up against the iPhone 5. Both devices are pretty popular right now, so it will surely be interesting to see who's going to come out on top once we're done with them...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

19. Marcus73 (Posts: 10; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)
Should rename site to iPhonearena!
24. darkkjedii (Posts: 24985; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
The iPhone 5 isn't the slouch that some try to say it is.
26. brandonrana (Posts: 57; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
Who is this dum8 reviewer? I think i have 100000000 times better knowledge about these 2 phones then him. But i won't work for iphonearena!
27. oldhamletman (Posts: 72; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
This review was largely biased toward apple..... worse, the reviewer didn't know basic features of WP8 ... he made assumptions about IE, third party browser integration, and a bunch of other things that are wrong....
- he played down the difference in screen size between 4 and 4.3 .... when you use them it's a major difference in usability... 13% larger surface area... line up both phones bottom screen edges and youll see what I mean
- he called the case 'plastic' and inferred it's cheap... the case is polycarbonate, which is a plastic, but it's not run of the mill stuff... very durable, flexible, resists impact da,age much better than metal... it's the same stuff the F22 canopy is made out of... it's not cheap and honestly if drop both of these phones onto a tile floor, the Iphone is gonna be jacked up and the HTC is not
- IE10 does operate in full screen mode, has better rendering numbers than safari by a long shot, and you can use other browsers... and it's been fully html5 compliant long before apple was
- he plays down live tiles, doesn't mention new sizing customization and info options on WP8
- HTC has released much higher talk and standby numbers, and they are posted on this site... LOL, maybe this guy should read his own site....
this author doesn't know what he's talking about with WP8, is clearly biased, did no research to make sure he was correct, and played down huge advantages of WP8 and HTC.....
this review damages phonearenas name.... if you just let appleheads take over, then nobody will take you seriously

After any review with Apple products they must send the results to Apple and Tim Cook will go through and cross some lines before they can publish it just the way it should be. You see? Apple is always ahead.
28. cdgoin (Posts: 571; Member since: 28 Jul 2010)
So from what I can read, an Apple Fanboy was given a HTC 8X to compare to his love.
32. droiddomination (Posts: 203; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
ray s is a dip schit. chrapple blows he just can't admit it. 4 inch screen? less ppi? bwahhhaaaaaahaaa!!
34. alcheng (Posts: 21; Member since: 10 Nov 2012)
phonearena.com has always been one of my favorite gadget website.
But this article changes it all.
I've never read some piece of crap like this.
The writer is obviously bias to iphone5, the writer just favor iphone5 on every category by saying "the iphone5 is better....", but without a solid reason/analysis to back his satement.
I cannot believe the editor would allow such a low-class comparison article to be published.
I suggest the writer please just simply go to work for apple instead of trolling in here.
37. oldhamletman (Posts: 72; Member since: 03 Sep 2011)
I agree..... I respected phonearena in a big way until this review..... I would bypass all other cell blogs for this one....
no more.... posting fanboy stuff like this .... jeez
35. ubarua1 (Posts: 2; Member since: 10 Nov 2012)
That was the one hell of a biased review.
"it's undeniable that the iPhone 5 is a work of art that no mass-produced phone on the market can currently rival".. Really you think so?
39. FranksGT (Posts: 167; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
FAIL FAIL FAIL, you guys love the color reproduction of the IOS apps look. Are you retarded? They are Bland icons put on a ugly background. What is pretty about that Ios? Even though the Iphone 5 is the winner and preforms better your review was retarded!
Camera samples once again quit taking 1000 pictures with Iphone 5 to get it perfect and only taking the first one with the HTC!
40. sadiqhashim (unregistered)
Apple iPhone is a phone that has more from the outside than the inside, is designed by Apple in America, so I expect it to have a home advantage when it comes to review like this, but in Taiwan things are so different.
44. loyals (Posts: 129; Member since: 10 Nov 2012)
Well 8x looses in benchmarks big time against ip5. N wp8 phones Doesn't even have APPS properly worse than symbian. It's better to buy an ip5 than 8x for sure.
46. RichieRich379 (Posts: 21; Member since: 23 Mar 2012)
iphone has a worst screen, worst batter life, bo beats audio, inferior maps>?????? how about that
50. loyals (Posts: 129; Member since: 10 Nov 2012)
have u actually compared the audio of two ?? iphone has the est audio decoding chip . i have one v with beats audio of htc . it really cant beat iphone 5 .
45. RichieRich379 (Posts: 21; Member since: 23 Mar 2012)
im getting tierd of these apple fanboy reviews, its so stupid, he saids the design in htc x is a regular industry design as oppose to the iphone, but he doesnt mention how iphone has an old boring ui as oppse to window 8 live tiles. i can go on and on but this review is complete bulls**t
47. meowcenary (Posts: 187; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
I would not call phonearena or any reviewer fanboys, unless it is obvious. Reviewers are entitled to their opinion and I respect that. After saying that, I love my HTC 8x and really have to say MS took the phone to the next level. If MS and the telecomms push the WP platform it would be a plus. However it's sad to know that my t-mobile store only carried three WP8 phones and selling two constitutes as a huge deal.
Folks go out and try all the platforms, ask yourself what you need and not what people say....unless something is really Asinus.
51. HDee89 (Posts: 9; Member since: 10 Dec 2012)
Not a terrible review, but definitely needs somebody who understands the hardware better. The Windows Phone's Beats Audio is not a software enhancement, it's an onboard soundchip on the pcb that's REALLY high quality for a mobile device, listening to music on the HTC 8X for me was incredible, the sound quality, is absolutely brilliant, the iphone 5 also offers a very good sound quality, I would in no way say that either sounds better, and comparing the iphone earphones is irellevant, you pay a much higher price for the iphone 5 and these earphones are part of the reason, you could quite simply buy a high quality pair of earphones for much less than the price difference of these 2 devices.
Also, you completely disregarded reviewing the battery life of the iphone, I think that speaks volumes about your objective whilst writing this review, which was to completely leave out any flaws with the iphone5, as I'm sure you were aware after reviewing both the devices, the 8X is a CLEAR winner when it comes to battery life.
Thirdly, you are a reviewer, so don't be a coward when it comes to reviewing things. You can't say "It's up to the user to make the decision" People have come to this comparitive review specifically to understand which phone outperforms which in each category. You must come to a conclusion for each category of review, otherwise there is no reason to include the category whatsoever. Without a doubt the iphone 5 is a better phone overall, but most people look at phone reviews to understand the concept of "Value for money" with these devices. The iphone 5 is a better phone, however the prices between the 2 handsets are VERY different, and this should be taken into account when understanding the value of the devices.
53. Skiman (Posts: 15; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
I agree
After using both, the HTC 8X is the better phone overall
The OS is the main part, and WP is so much better than iOS, which really has grown to repulse me now, just so old and stale
52. dougiefresh181 (Posts: 6; Member since: 12 Dec 2012)
the htc is much more egonomic, and the rubberized plastic backing feels better to hold than the iphone. ive held both, and the lcd display in the htc beats the retina display hands down, plus he got the htc all greased up, and a rag would take it right off. the edges are also rounded than the iphone, he has the brightness on the htc down. he is very subjective about the ui, and bangs wp8 about tile shape? really? the landscape keyboard changes app to app in wp7. iphone is clocked at 1 ghz not 1.3. htc also has much better battery life, even with live tiles.it also has better cloud storage and syncs across all of your windows devices without syncing. very subjective comparing browsers. camera on htc is much sharper, clearly, and more saturated. htc has beats audio and the same headphones have to be used to compare sound. just punching holes in the argument on youtube
54. Skiman (Posts: 15; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
HTC 8X wins hands down, the OS is just so much better, I can't actually use apple products anymore, because the boring GUI now repulses me. They really haven't updated it since 2007

Success Doesn't Come As Advertised
Posted by Todd Smith
Prefer to Listen? Play Audio Version
Will you allow me to rant for one post? Today, I opened an email and read this headline, "12 Easy Ways to MAKE MILLIONS for Your Business THIS YEAR (and spend next to nothing to do it!)"
The worst part is that this email was not a spam message. It came from a company that has been in business 50 years. Of all the people and organizations who should know success does not come over night, they should know. The fact is they do know, but they have lowered their integrity to a level where the almighty buck is more important than their corporate integrity.
Recently, I read an interview between leadership expert and best selling author Mark Sanborn and Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine. Mark asked Darren why he wrote his new book The Compound Effect. Here is what Darren said:
"I wrote it because I was ticked off. Our current society has grown up with a microwave mentality expecting success and the results on effort to be immediate. Coupled with mass commercial marketing and in its competitive zeal, companies have exaggerated their claims of overnight success appealing to our weakness of wanting immediate gratification. We are constantly bombarded with increasingly sensational claims to get rich, get fit, get younger, get sexier… all overnight with little effort for only three easy payments of $39.95.
"These repetitive marketing messages have distorted our sense of what it really takes to succeed. Then those with the sincere interest in learning what it takes to be more successful continually get bamboozled, distracted, frustrated and disappointed when they don't experience the results they are after. I was tired of watching it happen!
"I wrote this book to return people to the basics—the truth and the core fundamentals of what it really takes to succeed. I wanted to clear the clutter, demystify the truth and tell it straight—with no fat or fluff included."
Like Darren, I am disgusted with companies and people who have lowered their integrity to a level where they lie to consumers to make money. Of course, they have figured out a way to justify their deceptive marketing tactics, so they can sleep at night. Perhaps the company I am referencing above could say, "Well sure, if Procter and Gamble implemented these lessons they could earn millions of dollars this year." The fact is that their marketing message was sent to all their subscribers and their message was not targeting GM, Exxon, or Citibank.
The part that makes me equally sick is that companies are using these marketing tactics because they work. People buy into the fact that they can lose 30 pounds in one week by swallowing this magic pill while sitting on their sofas watching TV eating candy bars, so they buy them. Or as this headline represents you can make MILLIONS THIS YEAR with six months left, by buying their product.
I am here with Darren to stand on the rooftop and YELL as loud as I can that there are no quick fixes in life. Success doesn't come as advertised.
- You are NOT going to buy an audio program, watch a webinar or read a book that is going to miraculously make you a millionaire in less than one year.
- You are NOT going to start some Internet business with your current market value of $20 an hour and suddenly begin making $200 an hour, unless you are extremely lucky.
- You are NOT going to lose 30 pounds in one month with ANY healthy weight-loss solution, unless you are very overweight.
Real success at anything takes time, discipline and persistence. Don't get suckered into buying people's marketing pitches when your common sense is telling you otherwise.
As a society we must get back to the truth about what it really takes to achieve our goals, but this won't happen until we start being honest with ourselves about what it really takes to succeed.
Thanks for allowing me to rant. Whew. I feel better!
If something sounds too good to be true, there is a 99% chance it is.

Does anybody know what this is???
3 Attachment(s)
Ok one of my good friends has an old rifle. His father was a mechanic and years ago he got the rifle from a man as a payment for rebuilding his transmission. Later he passed it down to his son. My friend has no idea what it is neither did his father. I've only seen pictures of it. He thinks it's French but to me from research it looks closely like a Hungarian 35M. Here's some pictures of it. I'll try to get more clearer ones from him later.
