Bollyood Badshaah Shahrukh Khan will be excited with his new flick Chennai Express hitting the screens this Friday and has been busy promoting it all over the country. When he was in Punjab, he said he was completely bowled over by their hospitality and carefree nature of the community.
At Jalandhar yesterday, Shahrukh along with his beautiful co-star Deepika Padukone were present promoting the film while SRK admitted that whenever he's in Punjab, he gains weight.
"I always gain weight when I am shooting in Punjab, as the people here are fond of rich food. Punjabi hospitality simply has no parallel," he added.
The Rohit Shetty directed Chennai Express will hit cinemas next Friday
Shah Rukh Khan also touched upon the carefree nature of the Punjabi community, saying they are full of life.
"I like Punjab very much, I love its food, its people, music and its green fields," he said.
The superstar also spoke about their rich culture and also that most of the Bollywood movies have a Punjabi flavour. Deepika who was dressed in an orange Anarkali suit, performed on the stage with the superstar for their fans.
When asked about the movie, he said, "It is a great fun film, the kind I haven't done before and I promise it will be a great ride."
At a similar promotional event in Gurgaon, when Shahrukh and Deepika were exchanging gifts, the actress received a soft toy from the megastar and just when Deepika could think of giving Shahrukh something, a fan suggested, "give him a kiss na", to which Deepika responded saying, "That I give him every day. When you'll watch my film, you'll see me gifting him my bakwas dictionary. But that happens in reel life. In reality, I think, he has everything. So all that I can give him is just love and happiness."

Greywater Plays An Important Role In Water Conservation
While greywater has a bad reputation in some circles, it's actually one if the most effective ways of conserving water. It plays a critical role especially in areas that desperately need water for lush landscapes and flushing toilets. The term has many definitions in different circles but its general meaning is water that flows through the plumbing system but is yet to come into contact with any faeces.
IN most homesteads across the world, greywater and black water systems are combined into one wastewater stream. This makes it impossible to take advantage of greywater which is of higher quality compared to black water. It can be reused for various purposes If used well, greywater has great potential for meeting a variety of community and social needs, reducing carbon and energy footprints as well as reducing the demand for fresh water. Perhaps the most important thing about using greywater is that it reduces the demand for otherwise expensive highly costly potable water.
Take a country like Australia where water is direly needed due to the large surface area that's desert. Using greywater can save the country up to one trillion liters of fresh water every year. In fact, using greywater would be considered as an act of empowerment in Australia's rural areas where water is scanty and has to be transported to homesteads. In the US, greywater is mostly used for landscaping purposes and flushing toilets and the main challenge is that its use id governed by varying laws in different states. Commercial enterprises also benefit from reusing greywater which is used for recharging an aquifer.
ONE of the biggest challenges facing greywater use is the fact treatment technologies provided by varied companies lack uniformity. Key information like chemical composition which is vital for users to know is not provided. It's very important that critical information like the salinity of treated greywater be addressed as this can affect how it's used, especially in regard to crops and landscaping. Please check regenerative leadership institute.
Reusing greywater is increasingly becoming popular as an alternative solution to meeting the demand for water. But even so, the fact that the average home doesn't produce enough greywater indoors to meet the demands of drip irrigation is a challenge mostly because the technology isn't as advanced as we would hope it would be. However, the little that can be produced is still effective for some household uses and we would be fools to ignore this fact. There is a lot to learn about greywater and the best place to learn about it exhaustively is at Open Permaculture School and Regenerative Leadership Institute.

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was little changed against its U.S. counterpart on Monday as Spain's rising debt yields sparked concern about the euro zone economy, but hopes for a rosier outlook from the Bank of Canada boosted Canada's currency above other majors.
Sentiment was cautious across financial markets as Spanish 10-year government bond yields rose above 6 percent for the first time this year and the cost of insuring its debt hit a record high. <MKTS/GLOB> <FRX/>
The euro fell to its lowest in two months, as selling by some Asian investors picked up early in the European session.
"The Canadian dollar is holding in relatively well independently," said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign exchange strategy for CIBC World Markets in London.
"There's a case to be made that the underlying fundamentals remain pretty robust and so on a relative basis Canada looks good against the euro, partly because of the euro woes based around Spain."
At 8:45 a.m. EDT (1245 GMT), the Canadian dollar was at C$0.9987 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0013, little changed from Friday's North American close at C$0.9984 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0016. It touched an overnight session high of C$0.9981 against the greenback.
News over the weekend that China had doubled the yuan's daily trading band against the U.S. dollar to 1 percent had limited impact on major currencies.
Oil and metals prices were suffering from the worries about Spain, but were also hit by the signs of slowing demand from China and fears U.S. consumer demand was being hurt by high gasoline prices. <O/R> <MET/L>
The Canadian currency shrugged off the broader dip in commodities as traders focused on Tuesday's policy announcement from the Bank of Canada.
"It's a case where markets are mindful of the Bank of Canada and what they may say tomorrow, which should be reasonably supportive for the currency," said Stretch, who saw the Canadian dollar making further gains against the euro and the Australian dollar.

Who stole the money from the cookie booths?
Nobody knows, but the community has stepped in to help two local Girl Scouts troops recoup their losses when thieves walked off with their cash boxes and more than $600 from their cookie booths in two separate incidents last weekend.
Members of Troop 307 were packing up at Fry's grocery store at the corner North First Avenue and East Grant Road Saturday evening when they were approached by two women who began asking questions and distracting them, said Debbie Rich, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona. One of the women grabbed the cash box, which contained about $375, and the pair ran to a nearby car and drove off. The car's license plate had been covered.
The next morning, people were waiting outside the store for the girls to arrive to donate money to replace the stolen cash, Rich said.
In the second incident, Scouts from Troop 1619 were set up at Bookmans, 6230 E. Speedway, on Sunday morning when a man snatched the box, hopped a fence and ran into a wash.
There was about $250 in that cash box, Rich said.
People who saw the incident donated money, she said.
Girl Scouts have training and safety procedures in place when selling at cookie booths, including having at least two adults at each booth at all times, having adults hold large bills and always having a hand on the cash box, Rich said.
Rich said she'll discuss the incidents with a group of volunteers to see if there are any improvements that can be made to safety procedures.
"I think probably one thing that we're going to do is put in the training some different scenarios," she said.
Rich said the booths are an important part of cookie sales, which have decreased this year.
"The booths are really the bread and butter," she said. "The sad part is it used to be going door to door, but then parents got skeptical about knocking on doors and so then booths really took off, and now we have this suction and it's like 'Oh, what are we going to do?' " Rich said.
The incidents have shown the girls that despite the bad seeds, there is still a lot of good in the community, Rich said.
"I think we're blessed in our community. ... You know for every one bad person there is thinking about ripping off a cash box from Girl Scout troops, now there's 10 good Samaritans looking out for those girls when they walk by," Rich said. "I think that awareness has been raised."
Cookie sales were officially supposed to end Sunday, but they have been extended by one week because snow prevented the Scouts from going out and selling one weekend, Rich said.

text: Ortiz almost appeared to retire from the bout in the sixth after being dropped by a furious onslaught from Maidana that concluded with a bruising left to Ortiz's ribs that sent him sprawling along the ring-ropes. Cut badly over his right eye and with his left rapidly closing due to swelling, Ortiz looked as though he'd had enough, gesturing to his swollen eye as he got to his feet. After consulting with the ring doctor, the referee stopped the bout at 46 seconds of the sixth round, making Maidana the surprise winner by TKO.From the very start, this fight doubled as an early Fourth-of-July fireworks display. After a tentative minute of feeling each other out, the niceties were summarily dispensed with in the first round when Ortiz leaped on Maidana in the corner and sent him down to a knee with a crisp one-two. Before the crowd could even generate a chant of Ortiz's name, however, Maidana was up and knocking Ortiz off his feet with a perfect right hook to the kisser. Clearly hurt at that point, Ortiz fought back valiantly and mounted a comeback to close out the round as both fighters exchanged wild haymakers with urgent desperation. As they returned to their corners, the Staples Center crowd leapt to its feet and roared with the awareness that, for however long it lasted, THIS was going to be one hell of a fight.The second round more than delivered on that promise, as Maidana dominated the early minutes only to get floored twice late to turn it into a 10-7 frame in Ortiz's favor. By the third, the fight had fallen into a pattern, one that saw Ortiz punching first and often while Maidana retreated and looked to counter. The fourth was more of the same, as Ortiz took command and opened a small cut under Maidana's left eye. At that point, it was arguable that Ortiz hadn't yet lost a round, and with a 10-7 in his pocket and most of the momentum going his way, it appeared to be Ortiz's fight to lose.But they don't call this kid "Vicious" for nothing. Caution had been long thrown out the window in this thing, as the "el mas macho" vibe was thick in the arena's atmosphere. As Ortiz went in for the kill in the fifth, his reckless fury cost him greatly. He ate a giant left hook from Maidana that opened a nasty cut over his right eye, one that immediately sent the claret flowing into his field of vision. Like a shark in bloody waters, an emboldened Maidana seized control with a series of right hands that wobbled Ortiz and started a welt swelling under his left eye. Right at the start of the sixth, Maidana landed yet another pinpoint right to that badly swollen eye, and Ortiz staggered back to the corner in obvious pain and on weak legs. The end came soon after that, as Maidana stopped the wounded Ortiz and immediately embarked upon a new phase in his career, one where he finds himself suddenly catapulted into the limelight as an unexpected major player at 140 pounds. As for Ortiz, the anointed heir of the Golden Boy universe, the fight was a major setback, and afterwards he seemed aware that he'd let a great opportunity slip through his fingers. "I usually keep composed," he said, "but tonight I wasn't. I thought I could hurt him, and I thought could knock him out, and I made some mistakes." Those mistakes cost him a big win on a big stage, but given the electrifying nature of the loss, it's doubtful that they cost him any of his true fans.Related mediaFight Highlights(3:05)Fight PhotosWatch 2009-06-27 Victor Ortiz vs Marcos Rene MaidanaCurrently Not AvailableFull HBO Schedule

On my server, i run many lifetype blogs.
The most recent one ran for a few months, but now it has whacked out.
It gives a 404 whenever you click any link to other posts, categories - any other internal link on the first page.
Webserver logs just gives a plain 404-page not found.
Seems as though the internal engine just doesn't process...
I repaired and optimized tables in phpmysql, cleaned cache - yes, admin interface works, can write new articles, etc - but i can't seem to get the blog ticking.
Any ideas?
Edit: My bad!
I accidentally deleted that site in Apache, added it back, and FORGOT to make sure the

AN anti-animal testing group that saved 10 ponies from being slaughtered is looking for new homes for the foals, which are currently kept at the Society for Abandoned Animals in Trafford, writes Alexandra Fraser.
Unite to Care, run by 36 year old Vicky Fraser, from Davyhulme, struck a deal for a medical organisation to release the ponies it was using for research.
Now Unite to Care is searching for homes for them – and two have already been snapped up.
The foals, aged between six to eight months, were sold to the lab – whose name must remain anonymous as part of the agreement – from a breeder in Wales when they were three months old.
Vicky said: "They were living a miserable life, squashed into overcrowded stables and terrified of the humans whose only interaction with them was to prod them with needles.
"It would have been an ordeal for any horse – but even worse given the fact these are only babies.
"Horses shouldn't even be separated from their mothers until six months old."
The ponies were each given names with initials that when put together spell WILL TO LIVE.
Vicky added: "They are so cheeky now compared to when they first arrived. They used to hide in the corner of the stable trembling but they get braver and more confident every day."
Last year Messenger reported on Unite to Care's success in freeing dogs from laboratories.
The ponies would make 'great children's ponies' according to Vicky, who will only let them go to 'kind, patient and caring owners'.
Anyone interested in giving a home to any of the ponies should email email@example.com. further details at unitetocare.com.

Extremely disappointed: Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by alicat86
Overall Member Rating
Extremely disappointed
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We boarded the ship early and were able to access our suite about noon. We loved the suite. However it did not appear to be vacuumed very well. There were fabric threads and plastic things on the living room carpet.
We called for ice about 1 pm and then again at 1:45 pm and it wasn't until we saw our room steward that we were able to get ice at about 2ish. When we finally did meet our Butler (Caesar) about 4ish he said that he had been "in a meeting"
We ordered 4 bottles of alcohol for a stateroom set up (they were in the room when we arrived) I also gifted myself 2 bottles of wine. I had a difficult time getting them delivered to our room. Our Butler said that there wasn't a record of us ordering any wine. On the second day I ended up having to go More down to guests services and show them the email proving that I had paid for them but it wasn't until we complained to Bernhard that we finally got one of the bottles delivered to our room. We had to wait for the second bottle to deliver 2 days later. Not to mention that I waited for over an hour to get a corkscrew from our butler, when it did not arrive my sister called her butler (Nelson, she was in 2129) and he loaned us his before we ever saw our Butler who said that he had been in yet another meeting and couldn't get to us sooner.
Later in the evening on our first night we came back to our suite and there were several flower arrangements, a cake and strawberries delivered without cards attached. I had ordered flowers and as it turns out my sister ordered a honeymoon package which included flowers, champagne and breakfast and if she hadn't mentioned it I would have never known who ordered what and who to thank (which I'm still not sure) When asked the butler said that he didn't have the information available.
I went into our mini bar to get a soda and there was a open can of Coca Cola in it. The mini bar was never restocked throughout our cruise. I had taken a bottle of the wine out of it (when I couldn't get what I ordered delivered and it was never restocked)
There were shoes under the bed that did not belong to us.] When we told our Butler about it he said he would let our room steward know about it rather than remove them himself). Two days later the shoes were still there.
Our Butler was ALWAYS on the phone when he came into our room. Or at the very least answering a call after he entered our suite.
Room service took forever (at least 45minutes to an hour each time) and when it finally arrived the food was overcooked and cold. On one occasion Nelson my sisters butler delivered our food to us. (He knew my sister was in our suite)
My luggage was confiscated. The first evening after asking numerous people where my luggage could possibly be and steward suggested that I check to seeing if it was being held. After going to the 4th floor standing in line for over 30 minutes. They scan my bag in front of me and don't find anything wrong with it. (I didn't have alcohol or an iron in it)
And last but not least I need to mention that that there was a huge group of young girls for the American Girl cruise . . . From what I heard there were over 700 in attendance. Needless to say, they and their dolls were everywhere!!! Breakfast, playing in the elevators, POOLSIDE, There was not enough pool staff to clean up after all of the children eating poolside and the mess that was left afterward. They were even in the night club (the DJ finally after over an hour announced that no one under 18 was allowed) There were even kids at the Casino bar . . . Need I say more?
As I mentioned we cruised on the Celebrity Solstice in April and it was perfection. We were in a Celebrity suite and had a wonderful butler that went out of his way to accommodate us. After that cruise I was a Celebrity customer for life. Now after traveling on the Eclipse I will definitely consider other cruise lines. We upgraded to the Royal suite anticipating even a better experience and as you can tell we were extremely disappointed.
We left negative comments on the comment card and got a dismissive call from Celebrity. Less

How does Reduce+ Detox Slimming Pill work?
Detoxification is the body's natural process of cleansing waste from the body. Often, the body's ingestion of harmful toxins occurs at such a rate that the body is unable to keep up with, so cant flush out the toxins. When this happens, toxaemia can set in, usually in a mild form but often creating serious health problems. At this point, intensive detoxification is necessary. The natural substances in Reduce+ will help flush excess toxins, break down toxic build-up in the lungs, blood stream, kidneys, liver, and lymphatic system. Reduce+ ingredients flow through the entire body, entering the blood stream, intestines, stomach, and bladder. As toxins are removed, the body's power to detoxify itself is reinforced. After a detox, you will feel better than you have felt for years.
How Does The Appetite Suppression Work?
One of the main causes of being overweight is from overeating. The goal of using Reduce+ 15mg is to decrease your daily calorie intake by using appetite suppression. By reducing your food consumption your daily calorie intake can drop as much as 1000 calories a day or more making it much easier for you to burn more calories than you take in. Thus you will have lose weight easier than with exercise alone. To do this, the main active ingredient in Reduce+ Detox Slimming Pills focuses on one of the main hormone receptors in your brain called the "Hypothalamus Gland". This gland is what sends the signals to your brain telling you that you are hungry or craving food. Reduce+ main active ingredient Subutrazine enhances this hormone and manipulates it into sending 'full' or 'not hungry' signals.

By Timothy Ryan, Morrison & Foerster
California, like only a few other states, protects the right of free speech, reasonably exercised, in large regional shopping malls. In 1979, the California Supreme Court concluded that such shopping centers are the equivalent of "public forums," available to the public to exercise their rights under the California Constitution. Robins v. Pruneyard, 23 Cal. 3d 899. On the other hand, the Court has also ruled in a number of cases that this free speech right does not exist at smaller shopping centers, strip malls and other retail locations. Retailers not located in large regional shopping malls can lawfully eject anyone from their property. Thus, a retailer in California can exclude or eject religious groups, abortion protestors, vendors, even the Girl Scouts from its property if it chooses to do so. But, until recently, retailers were stymied when labor unions came on their property, stood in front of entrances and exits, and passed out leaflets and picketed. Conduct, which any other group could be prevented from doing, was unstoppable under California law when the group was a labor union.
Two California statutes prevented a court from intervening when a labor union trespassed on retail property, except in the most dire circumstances. The Moscone Act, passed in 1975, declares that "peaceful patrolling or picketing" relating to a labor dispute is legal and a court has no jurisdiction to issue an injunction preventing the conduct. California Labor Code Section 1138.1 imposes strict rules on courts issuing injunctions in trespass cases involving unions, including the obligation of a retailer to prove that the police were either "unable or unwilling to furnish adequate protection." As a result of these two laws, labor unions in California had rights that no other group possessed -- the right to go on private property and engage in activities in furtherance of their cause.
Ralphs Grocery Company operates a large warehouse grocery store in a retail development called "College Square" in Sacramento, Calif. Although many of the Ralphs stores are unionized, when Ralphs opened its College Square store in July 2007, it did so as a non-union operation. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union immediately began picketing the store, trying to encourage people not to shop there because the store operated non-union. The pickets conducted their activities five days a week, eight hours a day, in front of the store, carrying picket signs and handing out leaflets encouraging customers to shop elsewhere. Ralphs called the police on several occasions, but the police repeatedly took the position that the unions had a right to be on the property and refused to remove them. In response, Ralphs filed a complaint in the Sacramento Superior Court claiming the unions were engaged in trespass and asking the court for an injunction to remove them from the property. When the Court refused to issue an injunction, Ralphs appealed. In a decision issued July 19, 2010, the Court of Appeal issued a stunning decision, reversing the trial court's denial of an injunction and ordering it to issue injunctive relief to Ralphs. Ralphs Grocery Company v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 8, 2010 WL 2804355 (Cal. Ct. App. 3d Dist. July 19, 2010). In doing so, it overturned both The Moscone Act and Labor Code Section 1138.1, finding both to be unconstitutional.
In reaching this Decision, the Court first concluded that College Square was not a large regional shopping mall of the sort involved in the Pruneyard case and therefore College Square, including the area in front of the Ralphs store, was not a public forum. The Court then turned its attention to the question of whether or not, as private property, Ralphs should be able to eject the union.
The Court first considered the Moscone Act. Relying on two U.S. Supreme Court cases that held treating a labor dispute differently from other types of speech was constitutionally impermissible, the Court concluded that the Moscone Act "favors speech related to labor disputes over speech related to other matters -- it forces Ralphs to provide a forum for speech based on its content." (Id. at p. 21) Therefore, said the Court, to apply the Moscone Act to Ralphs' request for injunctive relief would violate both the First and the Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Next, in considering Labor Code Section 1138.1, the Court of Appeal said that it had the same "constitutional defect" as the Moscone Act -- "It favors speech relating to labor disputes over speech relating to other matters." (Id., at p. 28) In analyzing the statute, the Court noted that the requirements for injunctive relief raised difficult obstacles that do not apply to requests for injunctions against other trespassers who are not engaged in a labor dispute. The Court noted the statute makes it "virtually impossible for a property owner to obtain injunctive relief" in labor disputes and was thus unconstitutional. (Id. at p. 31)
The Court of Appeal instructed the trial court to issue the injunction sought by Ralphs and to pay Ralphs costs.
The union is expected to appeal this decision to the California Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, in Fresno, Calif., another Ralphs case is pending, involving the same union under the same circumstances. As in Sacramento, when Ralphs went to court to get an injunction, the court refused to issue one, basing its decision on the Moscone Act and Labor Code Section 1138.1. That case is now on appeal in a different district of the Court of Appeal. The parties are waiting for oral argument in that case.
Timothy Ryan is a partner in the law firm of Morrison & Foerster in its Los Angeles office. He specializes in the representation of management in labor and employment litigation. Ryan represented Ralphs in the trial court and on appeal in this case.

FPD K-9 unit will stay, thanks to community donations
FORTUNA- The Fortuna Police Department's K-9 program has been saved, thanks to generous donations from community members.
Fortuna Police Sergeant Jason Kadle said, "It is a huge asset to the department, not just to use as a tool for law enforcement but as a bride to use for the schools and the kids in the community."
The program started in 2006, but due to budget cuts in 2012 the program became donation-based. The only K-9 Officer, Zorro, is set to retire this summer after eight years of service. Kadle said if funds were not raised by the time Zorro retired, the program could have been cut. Recent donations however allowed the department to keep the unit, and purchase a new dog.
"It is great to see the community come together to help support such a great program," he said.
Zorro is set to retire this summer and the new k-9 officer and handler will attend a training in the bay area within the next few months.

UPDATE: June 14, 2017
Chrome users, there seems to be a new setting to open PDF documents using the native software: Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
- Open Chrome and go to Settings > Content. Alternatively, in the address bar, enter chrome://settings/content/
- Scroll down to the end, and select Open PDF Files in the default PDF viewer application.
- Click Done.
UPDATE: April 24, 2015
In the latest version of Chrome, NPAPI plugins (whatever that means) are not enabled by default. These have been deemed "experimental" and you need to explicitly enable them. Adobe Acrobat or Reader browser plugins use the NPAPI to invoke the browser plugin.
The instructions below have been updated to incorporate these steps.
Note that this will enable all NPAPI plugins. As Google has deemed it experimental, review your list of plugins, and disable the ones you don't need.
Around December 2010 I noticed that Google Chrome, in it's latest update (version 8.0.552.215), slipped in an integrated PDF viewer. So your PDF files are not rendered in the browser using the Adobe plug-ins. So if you're wondering, for example, why 3D models won't render, or embedded SWFs are not playing, you should revert to the good old Adobe PDF plug-in.
If you want to revert to the good old Adobe plugins, here's what you do:
- In the Chrome address bar, type: chrome://flags.
- Search for "NPAPI" and enable it.
- Relaunch Chrome.
- In the Chrome address bar, type chrome://plugins
- Disable Chrome PDF Viewer.
- Enable the Adobe Acrobat/ Adobe Reader plugin.
Easy as Pie :-)

Everything you ever wanted to know about Drawer Construction
One of the most recognizable cues indicating quality in wood furniture is English dovetail drawer construction. English dovetails are a desirable type of construction for many reasons. Those include the stability of the joint itself as well as the storage capacity of English dovetail drawers.
We had a couple come into our store who had given their daughter their old bedroom set. They purchased a new bedroom group, from another store, that had French dovetailed drawers. After emptying out their clothing from the old dresser, they did not have enough room in the new dresser drawers to store all of their clothing. When drawer storage is an issue, English dovetail construction provides the most storage capacity.
Because the parts are tapered, they only go together in one direction. It's sort of like putting your foot into a slipper. Once you slide it in, you cannot get your foot out except by sliding it back out. It only goes together one way and resists being pulled apart in other directions.
The modern English dovetail is machined to be flat and tapered on the outside, which is what you see in photo #2. However, it is rounded and tapered on the inside, as shown in photo #3. The dovetail is not only a locking joint, it also provides an extremely large surface for glue. Since glue is stronger than wood, the more glue you can put on the joint, the stronger it will be. Notice also that the joint is at the very end of the parts. The English dovetail allows the largest possible drawer no matter what the design of the furniture. This combination of features gives the English dovetail its well deserved reputation as the highest quality construction.
In years gone by, you might have seen some very large dovetails (you may still see that on some antiques). There were two reasons for the extra-large dovetails. The first is that many dovetails were cut by hand into solid wood parts. Those solid wood parts tended to split and splinter, because they were cut very small. The second reason was to overcome the poor glues used in older furniture. If you had a nice large dovetail, you could put a pin or nail into it after the joint was together. This would keep the parts from coming unlocked.. If you see old antique drawers with large dovetails that are pinned, that's a good thing.
The French dovetail is the other type of drawer construction you are likely to see when you shop for furniture today. (See photos 4 & 5). The French dovetail is also a very strong locking joint, but it is machined a little differently from the English dovetail. It is machined so that the drawer side slides upward into a long groove in the drawer front. These joints are quite often found in less expensive furniture and some special applications, liked curved drawer fronts. They are also found in a lot of imported furniture.
As I've already mentioned, French dovetailed drawers usually provide less storage capacity than English dovetailed drawers (see photo #6). This is partly because the groove cannot be put right out on the end of the drawer front, therefore the drawer becomes smaller in width. Because the groove is not cut all the way out the top, the drawer gets lower in height (see Photo #7). And because the cases are quite often smaller, the drawers are quite often more shallow front-to-back (see Photo #8). All of this leads to less storage space, which is especially important in bedroom furniture. You can tell if a drawer has French dovetails by removing the drawer and looking at the bottom edge of the drawer front; you will see one dovetail on each side (see Photo #9).
If you take one inch out of the width, depth, and height of an eight-drawer bedroom dresser, you'll lose twenty-eight percent (28%) of the storage capacity of that piece. In the nightstand drawers used for this article, the two French dovetailed drawers provide 4.9 cubic feet of drawer storage; the English dovetailed drawers provide 7.2 cubic feet of drawer storage. The English dovetailed drawers provide 48% more storage!
French dovetails make good drawers. However, they are usually smaller, provide less storage capacity and tend to be in lower-priced products.

rangerdavid - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkLove your articles and site in general, but please: When using your DSLR to take a gallery of photos, tighten that aperture down four or five stops from wide-open, as you currently take your photos (probably necessitating a slow shutter speed and a tripod). Yes, some shots lend themselves to nice blurry depth-of-field effect, but not everything.
Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays to you all. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkI think you've got it backwards... I prefer to shoot at a 14 f-stop and ISO 400, since the low f-stops give you the depth-of-field effect. They let in a lot more light, but I prefer a good flash over the blur. But otherwise I agree; Dustin needs to figure out the pictures better. (Sorry, Dustin, but it's true! At least he's no longer using a point and shoot.) Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkOh believe me, I know. I'm getting there. Give me a video camera and I'll make it sing, but still photography utterly escapes me for some odd reason. Reply
rangerdavid - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkNote: NOT Trying to start a flame war.
...but I believe I had it right - yet it's confusing and I may not have been clear. A "wide" or "open" aperture is definitely a SMALLER number. This is a bit counter-intuitive. I should have said "tighten that aperture UP a few stops," even though I usually uses the phrase "tighten down" in common speech. I suppose both are common. The point:
Higher f-stop = narrower aperture opening = greater depth-of-field = more of the laptop in focus.
So I agree: Shooting at f/14 is a better choice than the wide-open f/3.5 or whatever he's using now. For more info:

Deinonych67 - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkYou were correct using the term "stopping down" in reference to reducing the aperture size.

Stuka87 - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkI actually got a kick out of the isometric shot that is on the main page. It basically has a tilt shift effect on it, making it look like something you would buy for your daughters barbie dolls. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkSince it appears that high quality screens are available almost exclusively in glare finishes these days, could you do a review comparing the out of the box quality of the screen with the results after applying a filter to it? Mwave.com and Viewguard.com both sell filters in many sizes, so finding on to fit shouldn't be that difficult. Reply
hybrid2d4x4 - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkI second this request. I don't like the dull low-contrast screens any more than any of the others who regularly complain about these things, but I hate glossy screens even more. When I saw the picture of this laptop on the AT front page and saw the reflection of the keyboard, and that glossy plastic on the bezel, my gut reaction was: "Aw, FFS...". Reply
Meaker10 - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkNotebook manufacturers typically use different internal coolers for the quad core models, thicker heatpipes and better fans are usually used.
Dont assume just because your dual core version was comfortable that it impacts how the quad core model may fare. Reply
CreateAccount - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linklooks like a samsung or toshiba.
reflective surface, who started this trend? It's never been cool.
what happen to the brushed metal or the touchy plastic surface like the bottom case of the notebook? Bring those things back. That will cut the cost of the notebook. We don't need a notebook to looks pretty, we buy it to WORK! "WORK" that's the main purpose of it. Let those pretty stuff for A*ple, we don't need it. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkApple went full glass on the top. Every designer of cheap laptops slavishly emulated the shiney bit as cheaply as could be done. Clueless PHBs then decided shiney was in and forced the rest of their designers to commit the same crime or be fired. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkI dislike the "edge-to-edge" glossy approach just as much as regular glossy; in fact, putting a glossy sheet over an LCD (typically with a small gap between them) is just brain dead. It's a case of two wrongs making a bigger wrong. Reply
Pylon757 - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkThen get a Thinkpad or a comparable business laptop (e.g. Dell Latitude or HP Elitebook). Those don't compromise on usability and most are all-matte. Reply
5150Joker - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkWith a 5650m GPU, you can hardly call it gaming worthy. Sure it's better than Intel integrated graphics but it's definitely not considered mid range in the notebook world. A midrange graphics chip in the notebook world is an nVidia GTX 260M or it's equivalent. The 5650 falls quite short of that. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkI'd say GTX 260M is more of a high-end mobile GPU. It's not in the dream category like GTX 480M, but for mobile graphics it's in the upper echelon. HD 5650 is a good "midrange" mobile GPU, but it's really an entry-level gaming GPU. The 1080p LCD is a bit of a problem for 5650 as well if you're playing games, but again you need substantially more expensive GPU and everything else to make that happen. Reply
5150Joker - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkThe 260M these days is mid range in terms of gaming video cards available. The top end consists of GTX 480M, GTX 470M, GTX 470M, AMD 5870m, 5850m. 2nd tier would be 4870m, GTX 280M and third tier is 260M (mid range by performance). The 5650 is even lower on the scale of performance thus IMO doesn't constitute mid range at all. It's lower mid range if anything. In January we're going to see even faster GPU's released so that will push the 5650 down even lower. Reply
synaesthetic - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkFor the most part I agree with this... the lack of GDDR5 is a problem with these midrange mobile GPUs... even the desktop 5750 has a gig of GDDR5.
At stock clocks the 5650 isn't very impressive, but if you get a good one it can OC like a champ. My 5650 running at 850/900 clocks can give the Mobility Radeon 5830 a run for its money (10k 3dmark06). Yeah, I know benchmarks mean mostly jack, but this chip is great for the price, especially if you're a light game such as myself. Reply
bennyg - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkI agree - the GTX 260M is a cut-down high-end GPU, kind of the low end of the high end. Kind of the "4830" concept rather than "4670"... I am of course referring to a very short space of time when number names had some kind of internal consistency with the product-space-concept the product was occupying :/
The core of the issue I think is the challenge to compare technology from different generations or model years - there is relative performance at release (where the 55nm G92b derivative chips were king), then there is relative performance right now (where they're still more powerful than 40nm midrange from both camps but not by very much), after it's been superceeded by a generation or two.
All I know as an individual, my (un-underclocked...) GTX260M runs the games I play at 1080p with good enough quality to keep me happy. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Tuesday, December 21, 2010 - linkA decent system, but the 1199.00 price is way out of line. For this, you can get the Asus G73 model at Best buy, and that has a mobility HD5870 and a 1.73Ghz quad core in a 17 inch chasis.
If the NBLB2 is available for 899.00 as the artice stated it might be, then I would consider it. Reply
warisz00r - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkWould you be able to get the G73 with a 1080p panel at the same price? No? I guess as much. Reply
synaesthetic - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkThe BB version of the G73 has a 1600x900 screen... so, no, no full HD for you. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Thursday, December 23, 2010 - linkNo, it doesnt have a 1080p panel, but can the 5650 in the tested notebook run games at 1080p anyway? I dont think so at any kind of high detail.
So I still think the G73 is a better value. I would prefer to have a somewhat lower resolution panel and the power to run at native resolution than a good display without the graphics power to use it properly. Reply
synaesthetic - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkCan I put this screen on my Gateway NV5925u?
Also, damn! That 5650 gets hot! It's hard for the 5650 in my laptop to reach 70 degrees, even overclocked to 5730 clocks!
... somehow I got really lucky with the GPU in my laptop. I can OC it to 850/900 without any stability issues so long as I use a laptop cooler. Reply
Zoridon - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkI'd be willing to recommend a mid range gaming notebook just like the NBLB2 if they made the native resolution 1680x1050. at 1080p the 5650 can't run most games at native resolution. 1680x1050 seems to be the breaking point or 1600x900. They could use the money saved on the screen and include USB 3 and a keyboard backlight with a decent touchpad. Throw in the Momentus XT hybrid drive as well. All of which could be done for about the same price. That way if you are forced to play at 720p you are much closer to the native resolution and will have a better picture than if you step down from 1080p. Reply
NJoy - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkYou forget that they all have switched to 16:9 panels, while 1680x1050 is 16:10. In any case, thanks to small pitch the picture looks ok when you scale it down to 1600x900 Reply
NJoy - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkVery nice review. thanks.
The touch buttons are supposed to work with the software, mainly to switch between different color profiles. However, the implementation is so bad that most compal users just disable them right away
Next, the cooling. Traditionally, these compals cool the cpu a lot better than GPUs, probably due to a shorter heatpipe, but it should cope with quads without much problems. I recommended one to a friend recently and he got it with i7 840QM - havent heard any complaints from him yet.
The GPU temps just make me feel really sad about the anemic DDR2 9600GT in my JHL90, which idles at 57C since day one and gets to 95C with toaster speeds. All that while cpu (p8600) never gets over 55.
All in all, even despite the glossiness and dated design, I find this model to be one of the best laptops you can get for these money. There are not that many laptops packing so many nice features in a 15" chassis, especially here, in UK. DELL UK doesn't give you so many customisation options as the US one and their customer & repair service is to stay away from, so it's not a competitor, really Reply
7Enigma - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkGlad to see some dual-core laptops with mid-range graphics getting some review time. The quad-core fad for laptops is really only beneficial for a small minority, the rest of the time it's a battery-wasting expensive upgrade that your graphs show to be of little improvement over a good dual-core.
I'm very interested in seeing how Sandy Bridge can close the gap for the notebook sector, because as of right now unless you REALLY need the quad, a dual with better screen/faster gpu is definitely the way to go. Reply
Pjotr - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkAcer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG
I still find this increadible value, ATI 5650 1 GB graphics, Core i5, 1.8 kg light weght and up to 8 hours of battery time. It should be around the top of the gaming charts... with a lower price than the reviewed unit and a lot more portable, although the standard low res screen. Reply
synaesthetic - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkThe 3820TG is still not available in the US, else I'd own one already. -.-; Reply
TrooperOttawa - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkRight now the Dell XPS 15 is only available with the 1366x768 resolution. I agree that if you could still get the Dell with the 1080p screen then the Dell is the better system.
So my question is, out of the following machines, which offers the best bang for the buck?
- Compal NBLB2
- Clevo B5130M
- ASUS N53JF-XE1 Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkI think that really depends on where your priorities lie.
If gaming and budget are top priority, the NBLB2.
If a slightly better screen, slightly better battery life, and slightly better connectivity are important, the B5130M.
If the best battery life is what you're after, we haven't tested the ASUS but imagine it's probably going to do better than the B5130M. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkWow, I hope Dell brings back the 1080p LCD soon; maybe it's just a temporary thing due to demand? (And if that's the case, you'd think they would realize that a good LCD *can* sell lots of laptops!) As for the rest, speak for yourself... *I've* tested the ASUS N53JF; I just haven't finished writing the review yet. ;-) So, um, SPOILER ALERT!
Battery life with a 48Wh battery comes to 271 idle, 233 Internet, and 139 for H.264 playback. That's better than the competition (despite having a smaller battery) in two of the tests. Performance elsewhere is in line with the other i5 + 425M configurations we've tested. Here's the kicker, though: The 1080p LCD sucks. Not sucks as in it's worse than 768p, but sucks as in contrast is 233:1. That means that unfortunately, all the 15.6" 1080p LCDs aren't great; only some of them are. Also, the Dell XPS 15 still has by far the best sounding speakers; ASUS has some Bang & Olafsen tech supposedly, but they just don't sound that great -- they really overemphasize the highs, to the point where a lot of MP3s sound like they have tons of static. Anyway, the full review should hopefully be up this week. Reply
debacol - Thursday, December 23, 2010 - linkWhats the price of a Dell XPS 15 with the equivalent 640M CPU and 1080p screen? I have a feeling its a bit north of $1,100. Reply
Dug - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkI think this is a great improvement over the last review. Easy to read and very informative. Keep up the good work. Reply
mattgmann - Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - linkMy only question concerns hard drive space. Is there a second slot to add an SSD, or can the optical drive be replaced with an ssd? I really need to have room for data on my next laptop, so a lone SSD isn't going to cut the mustard. I'd be cool though if adding a second drive meant losing the optical drive.
I am super impressed with the hardware in this lappy. I need a new laptop capable of doing some of my production work (mostly web stuff, but also lots of flash and photoshop/illustrator work) while I travel. I'm quite intrigued by the i7 640m.
The build quality looks to be a little on the cheap side, but I'm not one for style anyway. I configured a system on cyberpowerpc without an operating system and slid in at ~1100, well within my budget. The Dell XS 15 isn't available with the i7 640m, and similarly configured systems were much more expensive. Reply
debacol - Thursday, December 23, 2010 - linkI have an old Compal IFL90 and have been using it heavily for about 4 years. I haven't had a single issue with it at all. So even if the build quality doesn't "feel" as great as other laptops, at least from my personal experience, that "feel" hasn't translated into poor reliability.
I use my laptop for light gaming and very heavy photoshop use (ie: always working with 300dpi 200+mb files). Reply

Kirkstall is a north-western suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, on the eastern side of the River Aire. To the west is Bramley, to the east is Headingley, and to the north are Hawksworth and West Park. The population of the ward at the 2011 Census was 21,709.[2] Kirkstall is around 2 miles (3.2 km) from the city centre and is close to the University of Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan University. Its main visitor attraction is Kirkstall Abbey. Another landmark is St. Stephen's Church designed by the architect Robert Dennis Chantrell. Richard Oastler, a reformer and fighter for children's rights, is buried in a crypt under the church's east end.
In the 12th century Cistercian monks founded Kirkstall Abbey, a daughter house of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. The Abbey House Museum opposite the abbey tells the story of the community and the town. Henry De Lacey, Baron of Pontefract, gave the land for the foundation of the abbey, and Kirkstall has a few roads named in his memory. The Abbey Light Railway, which connected the grounds of the abbey with the Bridge Road commercial area, was closed down in 2012.
The Kirkstall Festival is an annual event, held in the abbey grounds on the second Saturday in July since 1981. It is a festival of music, local arts and crafts, and is organised by volunteers of the KVCA (Kirkstall Valley Community Association).
Kirkstall is part of the Leeds West parliamentary constituency, whose MP is Rachel Reeves of the Labour Party, first elected in 2010.
Fred Asquith was a specialist[clarification needed] Yorkshire cricket wicketkeeper who was born in Kirkstall.
During the English Civil War, the bridge over the Aire at Kirkstall (referred to in a contemporaneous account as 'Churchstall') was blown up by Royalist troops from Leeds. After discovering this, a Parliamentary force led by Ferdinando Fairfax, 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron - from Otley - had to cross the river upstream at Apperley Bridge before retaking Leeds in January 1643.
Kirkstall was historically an important centre of industry. Kirkstall Forge lays claim to being the longest continually used industrial site in Britain founded in the 13th century by the Cistercian monks of the abbey, and a number of printers. The earliest known activity on the site was a medieval mill race which supplied water to power the corn mill at Kirkstall Abbey. Iron production took place at the forge from the 1580s onwards. During the late 18th century the reconstruction of the upper and lower forges allowed 'shovel and spade production' to commence. A railway was built at the forge in 1830 and sustained growth at the plant. The First World War brought about large scale growth, providing axles for military vehicles and by 1930 most lorries and buses made in the UK had a Kirkstall back axle casing. In 2002 the owners of the site, the Dana Holding Corporation announced the closure of the works, shifting production to India and Spain.[3] The site is undergoing major redevelopment, as is the old Waide's Printers & Kwik Save site. Printing has, like iron-founding, suffered a decline, several printing companies remain.
Until the late 1970s when it was closed, Kirkstall was dominated by a coal fired power station. It was replaced by larger power stations away from town at Ferrybridge, Eggborough and Drax. The power station was demolished in the early 1980s.
Kirkstall Abbey[edit]
Kirkstall Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery set in grounds which are now a public park on the north bank of the River Aire. It was founded in about 1152 and took over 75 years to construct. It was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under the auspices of Henry VIII. The ruins have been painted by artists such as J. M. W. Turner and Thomas Girtin.
Kirkstall St Stephens' Primary School[edit]
Kirkstall St Stephens' Primary School can be found on Morris Lane.
Kirkstall's amenities are stretched along Kirkstall Road and Abbey Road. There are several pubs, a Morrisons supermarket and several other shops around it on the site of the former Waddingtons factory, including Matalan, Dunnes, Boots the Chemist, Specsavers, Halfords and the Carphone Warehouse. For many years Kirkstall had a department store, Clover; this was taken over by Allders and was then run by British Home Stores. This has now been demolished and the Kirkstall Bridge Shopping complex has been built in its place. This includes Home Bargains, Pets at home, M&S food and Outlet etc... . Most of the independent shops are spread along the A65. Kirkstall has a library and leisure centre on Kirkstall Lane and a fish and chip shop on Morris Lane (Kirkstall Fisheries) which is said to be haunted with a passage in the cellar leading down to Kirkstall Abbey now blocked off. A small shopping precinct is situated adjacent to the A65 and Kirkstall Lane has become dilapidated in recent years. The centre has an independent discount supermarket, a private members' club and a bookmakers. The post office, the library and a public house have closed. The site is owned by Tesco who have now put it up for sale through Savills UK after cancelling plans for a new store. For many years there was a 2nd hand book store but this closed in May 2016. There is a shop specialising in selling homebrew equipment, a beauty salon, a mobile phone repair lab and a pub The New George.[needs update].[4]
Kirkstall is situated on the A65 road which links it to Leeds city centre, Guiseley, Yeadon and Ilkley. There are two railway lines, the Bradford line passes along the Aire Valley and railway station at Kirkstall Forge which opened in June 2016. The Harrogate line passes near Kirkstall and Headingley station is a few minutes walk from the centre of Kirkstall. The former Leeds tramway ran through Kirkstall until it was dismantled in 1959, a substation used by the tramway is still visible on Abbey Road. There are many bus routes through Kirkstall. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal also passes through Kirkstall close to the river and its tow path provides walking, running and cycling routes to Leeds and also west to Rodley and Shipley.

Notable events[edit]
The Kirkstall Brewery site was converted into a large hall of residence for students of Leeds Metropolitan University. Other developments in Kirkstall include the Morrisons shopping complex, off the A65 road, by the river.
Filming of The Beiderbecke Affair took place partly in Kirkstall, using houses around Abbeydale Oval with other scenes shot throughout the area and Moor Grange.
The Kirkstall Festival takes place every year in the grounds of the abbey.[7]
Kirkstall is rich in historic sites and monuments. St. Stephen's churchyard has fine 19th century grave markers. Other landmarks include an elegant early 19th century stone monument on the A65 road near the Kirkstall Forge site. A plaque on the monument indicates that Kirkstall is 200 miles from London and 200 miles from Edinburgh.
The re-located 19th century drinking fountain near the demolished police station at the junction of Abbey Road and Bradford Road proclaims 'Drink and be Grateful'. The fountain's little garden had been neglected for many a year until local community gardening group Kirkstall-in-Bloom made it their initial project in 2012.[8]

California grapes shipped in record volumes in late summer.
In each of five of the six weeks preceding Sept. 13, more than 4 million boxes of grapes shipped, according to a news release from the Fresno-based California Table Grape Commission.
In 2012, only one week in the entire California table grape season surpassed 4 million boxes.
"Grapes from California are in strong demand worldwide," Kathleen Nave, the commission's president, said in the release. "With nearly 45 million boxes shipped, the industry is on pace for another record crop year."
In August, the industry shipped 18.4 million boxes of California grapes, a record for the month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
