The Great Wall of China, one of the eight ancient wonders of the world and the only man-made construction on earth that the astronauts can see in the moon. Starting out in the east on the banks of Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi Desert. It was built as a defensive structure and gradually become the symbol of the ancient Chinese civilization. Then visit the Ming Tombs, which is a group of mausoleums of 13 Ming emperors and their empresses and concubines. Two of the tombs are open to the public. The most famous is the Dingling, an underground palace. The Tian An Men square, which is probably the biggest one of its kind in the world. With a total area of 440,000 square meters, the Tiananmen Square found in the center of Beijing boasts the largest of its kind. Over a hundred years, many ceremonies and demonstrations have been held here. Forbidden city (Gugong) the emperor's palace which was built between 1406 and 1420 with 9000 halls and rooms, containing many precious relics. Facing south and rising from a terrace, the largest palace in the world represents the supreme power and authority emperors enjoyed during the feudalistic dynasties as well as best exemplifies the elements of palace architecture.
Summer Palace in Beijing which was built in 1153 in northwest of Bejing. It is an outstanding example of imperial gardens in classical Chinese style, housing tens of thousands of precious cultural relics. Xi'an locates with an elevation of 500 metres, the Weihe Plain extends between Baoji in the west and Tongguan in the east and borders the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Huangtu Plateau in the north. Xi'an lies in the centre to the south of this plain, a favourable geographical location surrounded by water and hills. Shaanxi Provincial History Museum - one kilometre north-west of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xian's southern suburb, the Shaanxi Provincial History Museum - a striking Tang-Dynasty style pavilion, houses a large collection of 113,000 historic and cultural artefacts unearthed in Shaanxi. It is an absolute must for every visitor to the city. The main complex is a mixture of ancient palaces and courtyard buildings, harmonious and graceful in hue, in simple and elegant style.
Terracotta warriors museum in Xi'an - The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses are the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. Work is ongoing at this site, which is around 1.5 kilometers east of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Lintong County, Shaanxi province. It is a sight not to be missed by any visitor to China. Upon ascending the throne at the age of 13 (in 246 BC), Qin Shi Huang, later the first Emperor of all China, had work begun on his mausoleum.

I've been using point-earning websites for years. I've searched, answered e-mails and participating in offers on various websites to earn points and turn those points into gift cards. In fact, during some of our hardest financial times, I have used those gift cards to pay for birthday and Christmas gifts for nearly my entire family.
While it may seem silly to some, earning points and turning them into cash or gift cards is a huge deal! Out of all of the websites I have used, I have found Swagbucks.com to be the most generous. You can earn points quickly and easily in fact, many of the giveaways on our site come from gift cards I've earned via Swagbucks.
How to get started:
2. Install the Swagbucks toolbar and use the search bar just like you would use google or any other search engine. You'll find special codes will appear and those will give you points.
3. Participate in special offers, or search out codes on the Swagbucks blog.
4. Invite your friends! Yep, while they earn points, you'll earn too because they signed up using your referral link.
5. After you've earned points, redeem them in the Swag Store. You can get anything from Travelocity gift cards to Amazon, CVS and much more!
Trust me, once you start, you'll be addicted! Today is your lucky day too, every Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day that means it's even easier today than any other day to earn high value codes!

Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insider:
One team that is interested in Monroe is the Washington Wizards, according to multiple league sources. It's becoming clear that Washington is planning to pursue in Monroe, either through trade or free agency.
The Pistons are certainly a team to keep an eye on over the next month. Rival executives have said that there is "turmoil" within the organization and that they haven't decided what to do as the deadline approaches.

A record 52 organizations competed in the lottery, five more than last year.
Tracy Fire Division Chief Dave Bramell, who coordinates the lottery, said interest to sell the so-called safe and sane fireworks has grown since 2011, when they were legalized in Tracy.
Brammel said nonprofits see the chance to raise significant amounts of money — in previous years, sales reached into the tens of thousands of dollars.
"This is our biggest year so far," Bramell said Thursday. "Word is spreading (that) it's profitable."
On Thursday, each organization that applied was given a random number on a ping-pong ball that was placed inside a rotating tumbler.
Fire engineer Lisa Bachar spun the tumbler and pulled out balls one-by-one, handing them to Bramell, who announced the winners to shouts of celebration among the 50 representatives and onlookers who gathered for the lottery.
The winners are:
• National Junior Basketball League
• For Carol.com Inc.
• Traina Parents Club
• Calvary Chapel Tracy
• West High School Home Field Advantage
• McHenry House Tracy Family Shelter
• All-American Sports Academy Teams
• Tracy Jobs Daughters International
• Order of the Eastern Star Joaquin Chapter
Each of the lottery winners has until April 30 to file their application paperwork with the city. Those who don't complete the process or drop out will have their slot offered to one of the three alternates selected Thursday.
The alternates are:
• Tracy Little League
• Pregnancy Resource Center of Tracy
• New Heart Community Church
The law governing fireworks sales imposes a limit of one booth per 10,000 residents. Brammel said the limit makes the event manageable for the organizers and profitable for the participants.
Groups are allowed to sell for a maximum of two consecutive years before bowing out of the lottery for a year, meaning McHenry House Tracy Family Shelter and West High School Home Field Advantage, which both won in the lottery for 2012, will not be eligible next year.
McHenry House Executive Director Armenia Pereira plans to use the funds from this year's sale to help manage the shelter.
"We're very excited," Pereira said. "This is going to make a huge difference. It really helps the shelter. It's a lot of work, but well worth it."
All-American Sports Academy Teams is a first-time lottery winner.
Coach Lamont Richardson said the money raised selling fireworks will enable his nine all-girl fast-pitch softball teams to compete in more out-of-state tournaments.
"I was nervous," Richardson said. "This is our third year in a row applying. I'm excited for the organization, and definitely for the players."
A few of the softball players were there to witness the lottery.
"I was crossing my fingers," said 9-year-old Leah Richardson, while 11-year-old teammate Izzy Starr said she was scared they wouldn't win.
Another winner this year, ForCarol.com, offers scholarships in the name of Carol Phan, who died along with three other Tracy teenagers in a car accident Sept. 18, 2010.
"It's for Carol," said group coordinator Mike Pihlman, whose daughter was a childhood friend of Phan's.
He said the money means more scholarships for graduating Tracy-area seniors.
"It's a lot of work, but worth it," he said. "Its congratulations, but we had to lose Carol to get it. It'd rather not be here."

Henry Ford Estate closure nears in preparation for ownership transfer and impending restoration projects
November 23, 2010
DEARBORN / Nov. 23, 2010---It has been six months since the U-M Board of Regents and the Board of Trustees of Edsel & Eleanor Ford House approved a Memorandum of Understanding to transfer ownership of the Henry Ford Estate from the University to the governing body that oversees Ford House. Both the University and Ford House have been working diligently on many fronts regarding the transfer, which is expected to occur on July 1, 2011.
The Estate will continue to operate on its regular fall and holiday schedule and the Pool Restaurant will be open through Dec. 17. The University will then close the Estate to prepare for the transfer and impending restoration projects. A complete schedule of holiday tours and events can be found on the Estates website. After Dec. 17, the grounds of the Estate will remain open to students, faculty and the community.
During the transition phase (Dec. 18, 2010 June 30, 2011), and into the renovation and reprogramming phases following transfer, the four staff members who have accepted positions with the new entity that will govern the Estate effective July 1, will continue to work at the Estate. Susan McCabe, curator, will serve as site director and will be the primary contact at the Estate during the transition period. Breon Moriaty will continue to support development initiatives.
Garden volunteers, under the leadership of Karen Marzonie, landscape and grounds manager, and Pamela Morrison, landscape and volunteer coordinator, will continue to maintain the gardens through the transition period and after transfer. Public garden hours are 7 a.m. 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Other volunteer services will conclude on Dec. 17. A list of all volunteers will be maintained for provision of ongoing communication and to inform them of opportunities for future involvement. The University is grateful for the many years of dedicated service these faithful volunteers have given to the Estate and its many visitors.
Over the past few months, Ford House representatives have met with Dearborn officials and community groups to introduce them to their organization, share information about the transfer and seek community input and suggestions. If you are part of a community group interested in scheduling a Ford House representative to speak to your organization, please contact Ford House at 313-884-4222 or email@example.com.
As additional information becomes available, it will be shared with individuals and organizations affected by, or interested in, the Estates future.

Prior to the 2004 college football season, the Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only college football quarterback award that includes the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting; therefore, it is presented annually following the completion of the bowl season. The winner is selected by a panel of national media covering college football, as well as each of the Mannings.
Manning Award Stars of the Week, 2013
The list of Manning Award winners reads like a Who's Who for the quarterback position. USC's Matt Leinart was the inaugural winner in 2005 after a stellar undefeated regular season and an outstanding performance in the BCS National Championship Game. He passed for 332 yards and five touchdowns in the Trojans' 55-19 win over Oklahoma. Leinart was selected 10th in the 2006 NFL draft and is currently with the Arizona Cardinals.
In 2006, Texas' Vince Young claimed the Award as he led his undefeated Longhorns to a national championship over defending BCS champion USC. Young completed 30-of-40 passes for 267 yards and rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns in the 41-38 victory. His 8-yard touchdown with 19 seconds remaining lifted Texas to the win. Young was the NFL's third overall pick in 2006 and is currently with the Tennessee Titans.
LSU's JaMarcus Russell captured the third annual Manning Award after his performance in the 2007 Sugar Bowl. He completed 21-of-34 passes for 332 yards with two touchdowns and rushed for another 16 yards and a score in the Tiger's 41-14 victory over Notre Dame. Russell was selected first overall in the NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders.
In 2008, Boston College's Matt Ryan was honored as he led his team to three road wins over ranked teams, and capped off his season with a three-touchdown performance in leading the Eagles to a 24-21 win over Michigan State in the Champs Sports Bowl. Ryan went on to be selected third overall in the 2008 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons.
Presented with the honor in 2009, Tim Tebow collected the prestigious honor after leading the Florida Gators to the BCS National Championship with a hard-fought victory over Oklahoma in Miami. He threw for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns while also rushing for 109 yards in the win. The Heisman Trophy winner in 2007, Tebow threw for 2,746 yards with 30 touchdowns while running for 673 yards and another 12 touchdowns as a junior.
The 2010 winner, Colt McCoy, the winningest quarterback in college football history, continued the tradition of excellence to be honored by this award. McCoy led Texas to a perfect 13-0 regular season record, completing 70.6 percent of his passes for 3,521 yards with 27 touchdowns.
In 2011, Cameron Newton earned the Manning Award honor after leading the Tigers to their first national championship since 1957. For the season, the College Park, Ga., product rushed for 1,473 yards and 20 touchdowns while passing for 2,854 yards and 30 scores. He also caught one touchdown pass to account for a school season record 51 touchdowns. The junior also set Auburn single-season records for rushing touchdowns, passing touchdowns, total offense and rushing yards by a quarterback.
Robert Griffin, III, the sensational breakthrough talent of the 2011 college football season, was selected as the winner of the 2011-12 Manning Award. The junior signal-caller set or tied 54 school records in three full seasons at Baylor, finishing the 2011 season with school records of 4,293 yards, 37 passing touchdowns and a passer efficiency rating of 189.5 (second-best in NCAA FBS history).
This past year's Manning Award winner was the sensational freshman star from Texas A&M, Johnny Manziel. Manziel's spectacular debut season featured a long list of unprecedented accomplishments. In addition to becoming the first freshman to win the Manning Award, he was the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy and the Davey O'Brien Award. He was the first freshman in FBS history, and just the fifth player ever, to have 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season.

Charge your iPhone 5, iPad mini, or iPad (4th generation) at home or while traveling — even at crowded or hard-to-reach outlets. The Swivel Charger rotates 90° to accommodate crowded outlets and make room for other plugs, while folding prongs make it simple to stick in a bag for charging on the go.

The smaller, more durable Lightning connector is reversible, which makes plugging it in easier than ever. And because it's removable, the cable can be used anywhere—plug it into your laptop to charge and sync, or use your own car charger to charge on the road. Great as a replacement cable or if you simply need an extra.
The Belkin Swivel Charger with Lightning to USB cable (10 Watt/2.1) is compatible with iPhone 5, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini, iPod touch (5th generation) and iPod nano (7th generation).

Last week, 20 Cleveland Indians writers from six different websites and media outlets took part in a survey to reflect on the 2012 season and look ahead to the offseason and beyond. We've already released our player awards for the 2012 Indians, our thoughts on the organization's direction and philosophy, our predictions for which players will be gone by Opening Day 2013, and our projections for how the Tribe will fare over the next several seasons. Today, we reveal the final portion of the results.
At the end of the survey, I asked each participant to make a bold prediction for the 2013 Tribe season. Here's what we all came up with.
Charlie Adams (Indians Prospect Insider): Jason Kipnis and Shin-Soo Choo will go 20-20.
Geordy Boveroux: The Indians will make a strong run in May as Cleveland will proclaim Terry Francona mayor, dictator and God. Then they will come back to earth and no one will care at the end of the season.
Mike Brandyberry (Did The Tribe Win Last Night?): The Indians will win win only 65 games, Asdrubal Cabrera won't be on the Opening Day roster, and Lonnie Chisenhall will hit 22 home runs.
Ed Carroll (Wahoo's on First): Call me a sucker, but I don't think we've seen the last of Grady Sizemore. He'll probably never be the MVP-type player he was back in 2008, his last fully healthy season, but I think it's possible we might see him making an impact in Cleveland next year.
Nino Colla (The Tribe Daily): The Indians enter 2013 with Justin Masterson, Asdrubal Cabrera, and Shin-Soo Choo, and exit July with none of them.
Andy Cooper: Terry Francona will resign in early June after the Indians get off to a poor start and he finally recognizes the dearth of talent in the organization and the front office's commitment to mediocrity.
Kevin Dean (Indians Prospect Insider): Jason Kipnis finished top-15 in the Most Valuable Player race.
TD (WaitingForNextYear): At the trade deadline, the Indians will not only deal Shin-Soo Choo, but Asdrubal Cabrera as well.
Vince Guerrieri (Did The Tribe Win Last Night?): Ubaldo Jimenez will go 22-4. Bold doesn't necessarily mean accurate, right?
Brian Heise (Wahoo's on First): The Indians establish a new, clear direction with Terry Fancona and spend Year 1 acquiring talent and then allowing him to mold the team on the field to his image. It'll hard to watch at times, but not as bad as the second half of 2012. They still will finish below .500.
Mike James (The Defend Cleveland Show): Well, the lowest attendance in Progressive/Jacobs Field history isn't that bold, just really likely, and technically I can't use my bold prediction just now of them making the playoffs in 2014 since that's not for 2013… so how about in 2013 the Tribe trades Choo at the deadline for player(s) that actually pan out in their favor.
Steve Kinsella (Wahoo's on First): The Indians will be an above-.500 team. The talent in 2012 wasn't as awful as their record they just didn't care to play for the manager.
Craig Lyndall (WaitingForNextYear): The Indians will be a buyer at the trade deadline and do a deal. Is that bold? I don't know. Seems bold right now.
David McGarry: Carlos Santana has the best season among catchers in the league.
Jim Piascik (Indians Prospect Insider): The rotation rebounds and is buoyed by some bounce-back signings and trades, the bullpen stays sold, and the Indians' signings and trades on offense work out. The 2012 Indians could have been a playoff team with a little luck on the scrapheap signings, so maybe they'll work in 2013. It's really not a bad strategy, but sometimes it all goes wrong. Hopefully 2013 will be different.
Lewie Pollis (Wahoo's on First): Zach McAllister gets some Cy Young votes.
David Roberts (Did The Tribe Win Last Night?): Indians have a pitcher who is a 15 game winner.
Kevin Schneider (Did The Tribe Win Last Night?): Fearing fan backlash, the Tribe front office will make some surprise long-term deals with core players. They'll wait and see how they start 2013 first—then, Justin Masterson, Chris Perez, Vinnie Pestano, Zach McAllister, and, yes, maybe even Shin-Soo Choo could get deals.
Ronnie Tellalian (Did The Tribe Win Last Night?): The Indians will bounce back to finish second in the AL Central, and contend for the playoffs into early September.
Evan Vogel (Wahoo's on First): Carlos Santana hits 30+ HR and drives in 100+ runs, establishing himself as the Indians best player.

This SPEC Kit examines research libraries' print retention decision making strategies related to storage of materials in three different types of facilities or circumstances: on-site, staff-only shelving, remote shelving, and collaborative retention agreements. The survey also examined the decision making and practices surrounding the deaccession of library material. For each retention or deaccession strategy, the survey includes questions on the on-going or project-based nature of the work, the involvement of stakeholders, the selection process and criteria for materials to be retained or deaccessioned, the communication strategy with internal and external audiences, and the responses from the libraries' internal and external audiences to these endeavors. The SPEC Kit includes examples of collection management policies, on-site, off-site, and collaborative shelving strategies, last copy agreements, and procedures for retrieving materials from storage.

I talked but she didn't listen!!
I talked but she didn't listen!!
I have a sister in Florida that built a house two years ago. She is shopping for wood flooring for her home and my dad told her she should ask my opinion before she does anything.
She called me and described the floor colors and textures and warranties, and how the installer had his own guys and never subbed work out....
I of course explained my concern that she has her slab properly tested for moisture before she has a wood floor installed.
She said they install floors all the time in houses like hers and they are beautiful and easy to clean and blah blah blah.
I said I'd ask for Wagner Rapid RH testing. The three probes will cost less than 1% of the total price of the install and you will know the health of your concrete slab.
She said, "Oh yeah, they said they test the concrete first", then went back to rambling about the decision between a natural bamboo or a laminate floating floor.
I told her if they use a CaCl test, the new ASTM requires grinding the slab, waiting 24 hours, installing the kit and then waiting 72 hours to weigh the test. Don't let them just slap a kit down, and really you should demand a Rapid RH test!
She said if she signs today, they can have the floor installed Monday. She just wasn't sure if the bamboo was worth the extra $2300.
It was obvious she wasn't hearing what I was saying. And in my mind, I had been bringing up the most important aspect of flooring on concrete. I believe the mental block is that if her floor doesn't pass the test I want her to do, she will either have to give up on getting a new floor, or it will cost her more money to install it.
I explained to her that if her floor were to fail down the road, she will probably face an installer that will tell her the concrete tested okay when he installed it, so something must have changed.
She said it must be fine because the carpet has been down for years and there's no trouble with that.
I told her that yes the carpet will allow the slab to dry, but what if they didn't put down a vapor retarder or what if there's a blotter layer or what if the retarder is full of holes? A Rapid RH has a good chance of picking up those clues.
She asked if I'm putting a laminate in my new addition, or staying with solid wood...
I wasn't getting through at all. I gave up. I asked her to call after the installer did his testing. I will keep you posted on what testing is done before this guy does the job and walks off with her money.

RE: I talked but she didn't listen!!
Yes, it's even more difficult when it's family!
I tell customers all the time that because they have dropped hot waxes, oils and acidic foodstuffs, and left them sitting for days on their waterbased-coated kitchen timber floor, they can't complain to us or the contractor when it starts to delaminate. And they didn't even mention the three screaming kids and the labrador.
Lo and behold, one day, my own wife complained about the exact same thing of our half-renovated kitchen (did a brilliant job on the old hardwood floors I did) and said it was the product! How to explain without bringing up my desire for a more, um, frequent cleaning regimen...
JD I think you have the wrong approach with women. You were being all logical, technical, factual and blokey.
The correct way: Wait for the impending moisture-related floor failure, the subsequent explosive confrontation with said contractor, and the bitter, expensive wash-up. When she is lamenting all of this, you say "and how did that make you feel??"
(01-25-2012, 12:31 PM)CC Solutions Wrote: She said it must be fine because the carpet has been down for years and there's no trouble with that.
In all seriousness, even this should pique concern. Yes, some carpets can help moisture release, but the underside can host more mould and harmful bacterias than a mad scientist's petri dish.
Think of the children!!
The problem with socialism is that you soon run out of other people's money.
- Margaret Thatcher
RE: I talked but she didn't listen!!
Totally agree. My sister moved in her new house a few months ago.
She asked for my help with flooring, so we were discussing the issue over and over again. I explained her everything and begged her to ask the installers for the HR testing. I even offered her to pay for it. But she won't let me.
RE: I talked but she didn't listen!!
Sometimes I think people perceive me as a snake oil salesman

Just tell her to float it, no adhering to concrete with minimum 6 mil under it and a 2 n 1 cushion.

Hinode Captures Images of Partial Solar Eclipse
NASA's Amazing Daily Image
A partial solar eclipse was visible from much of North America before sundown on Thursday, Oct.23. A partial eclipse occurs when the moon blocks a portion of the sun from view. The Hinode spacecraft captured images of yesterday's eclipse as it passed over North America using its X-ray Telescope. During the eclipse, the new moon eased across the sun from right to left with the Sun shining brilliantly in the background. And as a stroke of good luck, this solar cycle's largest active region, which has been the source of several large flares over the past week, was centered on the sun's disk as the moon transited! Hinode is in the eighth year of its mission to observe the sun. Previously, Hinode has observed numerous eclipses due to its high-altitude, sun-synchronous orbit. As viewed from Hinode's vantage point in space, this eclipse was annular instead of partial, which means that the entire moon moved in front of the sun but did not cover it completely. In this situation, a ring of the sun encircles the dark disk of the moon. Led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Hinode mission is a collaboration between the space agencies of Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. NASA helped in the development, funding and assembly of the spacecraft's three science instruments. Hinode is part of the Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP) Program within the Heliophysics Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the Hinode science operations. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is the lead U.S. investigator for the X-ray telescope.

Answer:You install it with the handle pointing away from the toilet so that way if you pull it at an angle it pulls towards the bend and doesn't fly off.

the other day I noticed that the lower left split limb of my rampage was damaged, a whole fibre (?) of the limb material had seperated from the limb. I removed the fibre but I noticed some bad cam lean on the bottom cam! I thought that cam lean normally does not occur on the bottom cam, so I guess the lower left split limb is significantly weaker.
I ordered new limbs cause I wanted 70# anyway (:P), but is it save to shoot the bow with the weakened split limb?? the bow seems to be very hard to tune as well..
