The world's most powerful particle accelerator smashed together lead nuclei at the highest energies possible, creating dense sub-atomic particles that reach temperatures of over ten trillion degrees. Beyond being awesome, this achievement shows the early universe was actually a liquid.
Normal matter can't exist in any form at these sort of absurdly hot temperatures. Instead, matter is thought to melt into a strange, soup-like substance known as quark-gluon plasma. Researchers are still investigating exactly what happens when this quark-gluon plasma emerges, but the early results seem to confirm the theory that the plasma acts like a liquid, not a gas.
Earlier research had shown that the sub-atomic fireballs acted like liquids at lower temperatures, but there was still some expectation that they would move into more gaseous behavior when temperatures got hot enough for the plasma to emerge. University of Birmingham astrophysicist Dr. David Evans says these findings should also reflect what the universe looked like in its first microseconds of existence:
"Although it is very early days we are already learning more about the early Universe. These first results would seem to suggest that the Universe would have behaved like a super-hot liquid immediately after the Big Bang."
Further study will be needed to better understand just how the quark-gluon plasma acts at these trillion-degree temperatures. Researchers have already made one unexpected discovery. It turns out the fireballs caused by the collision create way more subatomic particles than most models would expect, as researchers were able to observe thousands of particles radiating out from each fireball.

The Fine Art of Vajazzle – ing?Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
You have got to be kidding me. That was my first response when I heard the buzz about Jennifer Love Hewitt's promotion of a new fad called "vajazzle – ing"? I could easily have told you that I have seen pretty much everything. Quite frankly, I don't really have words for this.

Mobile Payments Brighten Cash Flow for Small Business
One of the biggest worries for small-business owners is dealing with fluctuations in cash flow. Nathan Perry's five-year-old New York City catering business has had to operate with up to $30,000 in unpaid customer invoices at any given time, for instance.
Such gaps in cash flow — or so-called "lumpy money" — can make it difficult for business owners to focus on expansion rather than, say, managing payrolls or paying other bills.

Mashed Potatoes
Starchy potatoes make the fluffiest mash, but Yukon Gold or other all-purpose potatoes do well too. If you like mashed potatoes with the peel, make sure you scrub them well before cooking. If you like them lumpy, mash with a fork or potato masher; if you like them smooth and light, use a food mill or ricer. Just keep them away from mixers, food processors, or blenders, which makes them gummy.
Other keys to keeping mashed potatoes fluffy: Cook them whole if possible; cook them with the peel on if possible (the peels will slip off easily after cooking, or you can eat them of course); and refrain from poking them. All of these steps reduce the tendency of the spuds to absorb water, which makes them heavier.
Once the potatoes are mashed and combined with the milk and butter, they will keep for a little while in a double boiler. For even better control over them for timing a full meal, it's easier to boil the potatoes a little ahead of time and let them sit for an hour or so (see Step 1).
2 pounds starchy or all-purpose potatoes
1 cup milk, plus more if needed
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Peel the potatoes before cooking if you like. If you're in a hurry, cut the larger ones into halves or quarters. Cut or whole, the idea is to have all the pieces about the same size. Put them in a large, deep pot and cover with cold water. Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
2. Keep the water rolling until the potatoes are done, anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces and how tender you want them. The potatoes are done when a skewer or sharp knife inserted into one meets almost no resistance.
3. Drain the potatoes well and let them dry out a bit. If peeling, give them an extra few minutes to cool enough to handle. (The potatoes can be prepared to this point up to an hour in advance; just leave them in a colander to drain and dry out a bit.)
4. While the potatoes are draining, wipe the pot dry and put it back on the stove over medium-low heat. Add the milk and the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. When the butter is almost melted, remove the pot from the heat. Rice the potatoes or run them through a food mill set over the pot or add them directly to the milk mixture and mash with a fork or potato masher. Return the pot to the heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon to reach the desired consistency, adding more milk if necessary. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.
"Smashed" Potatoes. Omit the milk. In Step 3, add the potatoes directly to the melted butter in the pan and mash roughly with a fork or masher, leaving lots of lumps. Stir a few times, adding more butter if you like.
Garlicky Mashed Potatoes. Peel 1 or 2 heads of garlic (or even 3 if you're a fanatic) and boil them along with the potatoes. If you want stronger garlic mash, add a teaspoon or a tablespoon of minced garlic along with the milk and butter.
Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes. Tangy and fresh tasting: Instead of milk, use buttermilk.
Joël Robuchon Mashed Potatoes. Only a famous French chef could get away with suggesting so much butter (if you really want to go overboard, replace some or all of the milk with cream): In Step 2, after you drain the potatoes, put 1/2 pound (2 sticks) of butter in the pot and set it over medium- low heat to melt, taking care not to let it turn brown. Whisk in the milk or cream. Then proceed with the recipe from Step 3.
7 Other Vegetables to Mash Along with Potatoes
Replace up to half of the potatoes with any of the following vegetables. Add them to the potatoes while they boil if you like or cook them separately (roasted vegetables are especially nice) and mash them in later.
1. Cabbage, cut into ribbons or chopped
2. Brussels sprouts, quartered
3. Celeriac, turnips, or rutabagas, peeled and cubed
4. Carrots or parsnips, peeled and sliced
5. Peas (frozen are fine; no need to thaw them first), added during the last 3 minutes of cooking
6. Winter squash, like butternut or pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cubed
7. Beets, peeled and cubed (they'll turn the mash fuchsia but taste delicious)

LEE — Moving through scenes like the "body bag tunnel" and other lifelike frights, Haunted Overload at DeMeritt Hill Farm is guaranteed to deliver enough "scares" to last the entire season.
"It really sets people up for anybody who comes in here who is alive," volunteer Crystal Eisenhard said.
As opening day draws near, she and others have been volunteering their time at the farm to prepare the setting for visitors.
"This is when it gets fun. This is when the work accumulates through the grand finale," Eisenhard, said of the final stretch of tweaks and preparations.
Through a forest of hand-carved trees, pumpkins and characters, a maze of frights is staged to delight, spook and entertain in a wooded area of the farm.
"I like the lay of the land better and the creepiness of the woods," Eric Lowther, creator, said.
Volunteers have been working since March to bring the brainchild of Lowther to life for visitors throughout the month of October. The attraction will open a week earlier than in years passed and the hope, Eisenhard said, is to draw a crowd of about 10,000 as compared to past years that have seen about 6,000 visitors through the winding trails of Haunted Overload.
Hiding holes for "spookers" and characters are located throughout the avenue where at each and every turn another fright is waiting.
Though they mostly work on weekends only, volunteers are invested in both the Halloween spirit and helping out the Cocheco Valley Humane Society.
"Even an hour helps sometimes when you're putting this together," Eisenhard said.
New trails have been added this year along with additional safety exits designed for any type of emergency — health or otherwise — as walkers transition from one area to the next. Eisenhard said there are six area captains stationed throughout the haunted woods to accompany anyone in distress.
In her first full year of volunteering, Eisenhard said she feels like the work and the result is an addiction of sorts.
"I got hooked on how they were doing things and the organic part of it," she said.
From each wooden board that creates a fence to the way each "playbee" or doll is laid out, there's precision and thought in every item's placement.
"It's almost like magic sometimes, how the perfect pieces come together," she said.
Living up to its name of "overload," Eisenhard said characters, such as a troll that will be stationed near the troll bridge, will pop out of the woodwork when visitors least expect it. And that's exactly the effect Lowther aims to achieve each year as he also tries to outdo his own annual creations.
"I like to live up to the name 'Haunted Overload,'" he said. "The patrons that return, that's how you build a strong core audience."
He said with each step taken through the trail with autumn leaves crunching beneath visitors feet, everyone will feel like they're having a fresh experience — even veterans of the Overload hauntings.
"They'll feel like they've got a crazy experience," he said, adding he has utilized the space at the farm in an entirely new way.
Previously located at Copple Farm, the setting at DeMeritt Hill Farm creates a new authenticity to the wooded scenery.
"This is a totally different haunt in the woods," Lowther said, who has been intrigued by all things Halloween and scary since the age of 12.
When he and his friends wanted to put to a KISS show for trick-or-treaters as teens, he said it sparked an interest and adrenaline rush that was unexpected at the time once they "got that first scare from a trick-or-treater."
And for those volunteering in costume, jumping out or shouting from the shadows as visitors pass through, the time spent working the tours is almost comforting, Lowther said.
"Being on the other side of 'the scare' is like therapy for them," he said of those who don costumes and add to the fright at Haunted Overload.
"And we seem to attract the most passionate people, he said of those who help make this fright land a local reality.
For patrons, he wanted to create a feeling that he believes everyone who attends is looking for but doesn't want to necessarily live through.
"You want to feel that feeling (of being terrified) but know that you're not going to die," he said.
Going through the corn maze or "train yard" where handmade props are guaranteed to scare, as all are throughout the trail, an actor has a designated spot for ticket collection that will help the flow of people moving at a moderate pace, Eisenhard said.
"You don't really know what's around the next corner," she said.
The "saw yard" features an actual blade — still sharp and not for touching — that was given to Lowther by his grandfather, who died a few years ago at the age of 103.
"It was pretty cool to be able to use his blade here," he said.
At about three-quarters of the way through, a giant filled with smoke and moving people will usher patrons on to the last leg of the haunted journey where what Lowther calls one of the most popular areas awaits: the "House of Fun."
"It's one of the most popular areas and kind of like the grand finale," he said of a spot that showcases some of many people's most feared characters: the clown.
"People come around the corner hating clowns," he said.
One thing people won't do here is trip along the way as crews began clearing and flattening the trail months ago bringing in gravel to ensure each step was a safe one.
Ten percent of gross proceeds for Haunted Overload will be donated to CVHS, which is a moment Lowther, who makes scale models of the upwards of 40-feet scarecrow statues, like "Fiddlesticks," during the winter months, said is one of the best throughout the whole season. Relying largely on word-of-mouth, he said he didn't spend a lot of money on advertising the tours this year, either.
Offering "Fright Night Lite" and "Daytime Haunts," there's a way for everyone, the young, old, and faint of heart, to enjoy Lowther's creations.
"When people get out of here they'll feel like they've really experienced something," he said.

Twenty years ago this month, millions of people were glued to their television sets as news helicopters broadcast a swarm of police cars chasing football star O.J. Simpson in a white Ford Bronco. If that chase happened today, it might be harder to spot his white car from the sky, because in 2014 white cars are the most popular on the road.
Read: 20 years ago, O.J. kicked off the fall of civilization
In the U.S., white was the most popular car color for the last eight years, according to Axalta Coating Systems, a supplier of liquid and powder coatings. Between 2001 and 2005, the No. 1 car color was silver, but white was still No. 2. Last year, white was also the most popular car color in Asia, Europe and South America. In 1994, the year of Simpson's infamous (and slow) car chase along a Los Angeles freeway, the most popular car color was green/teal/aqua, red was No. 2 and white was No. 3.
Car colors appear to track trends in the latest technology, says Jessica Caldwell, senior analyst at Edmunds.com, a website resource for automobiles. "I just bought a new white car for the first time a few months ago," she says. "It seems like flashier colors were prevalent in the 1990s along with iMacs — teal, hunter green, purple. In the 2000s, silver dominated as that represented the new tech world. Stainless appliances were all the rage as well. Apple has made white popular because of the iPhone colors."
While white cars may not be the most visible in a blizzard, white cars may be safer than black ones. Black cars have a 12% higher crash risk relative to white cars in daylight, followed by gray (11% higher), silver (10%) and blue and red (7%), according to a 2007 study of two decades and more than 850,000 car accidents by Monash University Accident Research Centre in Victoria, Australia. At dawn and dusk, black vehicles were found to have a 47% higher crash risk than white (silver was 15% higher and gray was 27% higher).
There are also more practical considerations. Darker cars absorb more sunlight and get hotter in the summer, so white cars are more common in southern states like Florida and the Middle East, says Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor of Cars.com. And white cars may not be a nightmare to clean, he adds. "One would think a white car would get dirty easily, but dark ones might be even tougher," he says. "A little rain can cover a black car with water spots, whereas white cars look the same unless you get really close."
The upside of buying a white car: Consumers are less likely to get sick of the color compared with red, orange or beige, and the consistently high demand for white cars means they tend to hold their value in the resale market. "Bolder colors sometimes depreciate faster, depending on trends," Wiesenfelder says. Contrary to this conventional wisdom, however, one study by used-cars dealing site iSeeCars.com found less popular car colors in yellow and orange show lower depreciation than white, silver and black.
There are also slight gender differences in relation to color. Men have a 7% stronger preference for white cars than women, according to an analysis of 30 million used-car listings by dealing site iSeeCars.com. Women tend to prefer less flashy colors: They're 9% more likely to choose silver or brown models, while men are 12% more likely to go for cars in red and orange. But white and black are the most popular among used cars listings: 15% are white versus 17% black — and white is the most popular for pick-up trucks.

Hi, everyone.
Well, this is my first thread on the forum, so I'm sort of nervous. Crazy, I know.
anyway, coming to the topic, I want to know the names of some clean romance books if there are any. Generally not interested in romance, something caused me to read some books, but having known about them and the content they happen to have I'm little confused about them. Can you please help me?
Thank you.

It has taken a few months, but Samsung continues to make good on its promises of Jelly Bean updates for its past and current smartphones and tablets. Today, the company announced that United States users with the Wi-Fi versions of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets can expect to see Android 4.1 updates for their tablets imminently.
In its announcement, Samsung focused on the new features that the update gives the Galaxy Note 10.1, most of which involve improvements to the stylus and multitasking features we looked at in our review of the device. Previously, the device's "dual view" feature would allow you to open two Android apps at once on the left and right halves of the screen; the "cascade view" feature expands on this by letting you open multiple apps and resize and layer them manually, very much like a true windowed operating system. Apps can also be pinned to always stay on top of the stack.
The S Pen's new capabilities include the ability to write directly on e-mails and calendar events. You can also tell the tablet to wake up when the stylus is removed.
Meanwhile, details about what Jelly Bean brings to the supported Galaxy Tab 2 models are scarce. The press release says only that the tablets will "benefit from the core improvements of Android 4.1," which we suspect means that users can expect the smoothness of Project Butter and not much else. That's nothing to sneeze at, though—when we looked at Android 4.1 on the comparably specced Motorola Xoom, we found that while Jelly Bean wasn't a revelation, it did bring a pleasant consistency to the tablet's performance that it had previously lacked.
The updates are available both through Samsung's Kies media syncing software and over-the-air. There's no word on when the update will be made available to cellular-enabled devices, but expect the carriers to take their usual weeks (or months) to approve the update before it goes out.

Too many provinces have been graduating teachers at a much higher rate than demand. Ontario plans to halve the number of teachers it graduates starting in 2015. It's been particularly hard to find teaching jobs in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia in recent years. An Ontario College of Teachers survey of graduates from Ontario education faculties and U.S. border colleges found that one-third of them couldn't find a teaching position in 2011. That's up from just 3 per cent in 2006. Last year, B.C. had about 2,700 teachers vying for 800 positions, while in Nova Scotia, a government report estimated the province would need about 281 new teachers a year for the next several years.

Conservative Economists Urge Immigration Overhaul
More than 100 conservative economists, including several who advised Republican presidents, are urging Congress to pass a sweeping immigration overhaul, arguing in a letter that new rules would improve the economy and help reduce the deficit.
The letter contrasts sharply with the conclusions drawn two weeks ago by scholars at the conservative Heritage Foundation, who released a study making the case that any move to grant eventual amnesty to the 11 million undocumented workers now in the U.S. would end up costing taxpayers $6.3 billion.
Conservatives have been engaged for weeks in a heated debate over the economic impact of a comprehensive immigration deal. A similar Heritage study predicting a high price tag in 2007 helped kill a big immigration push under President George W. Bush.

Hi all,
Anyone else noticing the widget play button not being responsive, even after multiple taps. I always remove the widget after a new beta install - not sure if that matters.
But this is typically happening for me upon starting up a streaming podcast from the widget by tapping the play button. The only solution for me is to click the image art, which brings me to the ability to click the play button in the center of the screen at the bottom OR I have to go to the app drawer and launch the app, then click play.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
In the wake of Russia enacting legislation last summer widely seen as an attack on gay rights, and ahead of the upcoming Winter Olympics, Sochi mayor Anatoly Pakhomov claimed that there were no gay people in Sochi.
According to the BBC:
When asked whether gay people had to hide their sexuality in Sochi, the Mayor said: "No, we just say that it is your business, it's your life. But it's not accepted here in the Caucasus where we live. We do not have them in our city."
When challenged, the mayor admitted that he was not certain there were no gay people in Sochi: "I am not sure, but I don't bloody know them."
A political opponent of Pakhomov claimed that the city has multiple gay bars, one of which was visited by a BBC reporter before his interview with the mayor. Drag queen Madame Zhu-Zha told the BBC that the resort town did have a gay community though it is reportedly on the decline.
Another member of Russia's Olympic effort, Svetlana Zhurova, also defended the law preventing the dissemination of information about homosexuality to minors. Zhurova is also a member of Russia's parliament who voted in favor of the law. She has a long history with the Olympics, as a gold-medalist speed skater and in Sochi as a "mayor" of the Olympic Village.
The United States' delegation for the Games includes at least three LGBT members: figure skater Brian Boitano, tennis player Billie Jean King, and hockey player Caitlin Cahow.

Puppy at Brewers Spring Training
"@Brewercom: Dog Catcher #ballparkpup pic.twitter.com/MNKOUR0Gzs" Gotta love @JLucroy20 and Hank. #CactusCrew— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) February 20, 2014
The Yankees had a raccoon at Steinbrenner Field and the Phillies had a possum taking in the sights at their workouts, but the Brewers definitely have the cutest four-legged Spring Training visitor. The stray pup, named Hank, found his way into Brewers camp and has been unofficially adopted by the team.
Maybe they can add him to the famous racing sausages. That would be quality entertainment.

Ratties For Ever World Press - Why leaving your cat at home is a better solution than a cattery
Posted on 2 July, 2019
Going away on holiday can leave many cat owners with a dilemma. Should they take their cat to a cattery or leave them at home, and have someone pop in once a day to feed them? Neither solution is great news for your cat. Most cats hate catteries. Unless they have been used to going from a very young age, putting your cat in a cattery can cause them a great deal of stress.
Cats are territorial animals and also fairly solitary. Putting them in an unfamiliar environment, perhaps with other cats around them, can make them very unhappy and lead to them stopping eating. Unfortunately, unlike dogs they find it difficult to adjust to new surroundings – hence why cats are rarely taken away from their home.
The other option is to leave your cat at home and have a friend or neighbour go in daily to feed them…

Crispy Chicken and Apple Salad Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Every once in a while, it's good to be reminded that some cooking techniques are proven and effective. These are the ways of doing things in the kitchen that just work, the culinary school basics, like the procedure from this recipe out of Everyday Food, a gorgeous salad of crisp apple, dried cranberries, and buttermilk dressing. The technique is that famous three-step process for making dredging meat that becomes the star of this salad: flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
If you've ever wondered how to get juicy, crisp chicken without pulling out the deep fryer, this is the technique to do it (it will work for chicken thighs, too). The only secret is to lightly pound the meat to an even thickness so that it cooks consistently throughout just as the bread crumbs are perfectly golden. Paired with some farmer's market apples, dried cranberries, and the tangy, creamy dressing (the recipe uses a little mayonnaise with the buttermilk to achieve a perfect texture), this chicken completes a salad of fall flavors.
- Yield:4
- Active time: 10 min
- Total time:20 min
- Rated:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, gently pounded to even thickness
- 2 tablepoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1-2 heads red-leaf lettuce (to make 8 cups of torn leaves)
- 2 apples, cut into thin wedges
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
On three small plates, set up the dredging stations: the flour on one, the egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water on another, and the breacrumbs on the third. Season the flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pano with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dry the chicken breasts thoroughly with paper towels until tacky. Dredge first in the flour and shake off the excess, then into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook until golden, then flip and finish cooking, 8-10 minutes total. Drain on paper towels, allow to cool for a few moments, then slice into strips.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Lay the lettuce on a platter and scatter with the apples and cranberries. Lay the chicken over the top, drizzle with dressing, and serve.

Fidelity Investments announced Friday that its IRA clients could make deposits using the Fidelity Investments for iPad app.
Fidelity receives approximately 45% of annual IRA contributions in the 28 days ahead of the April tax deadline. To accommodate those investors, the app allows them to take a picture of their check with the camera on their iPad and send it to Fidelity to be deposited in their traditional or Roth IRAs, or into a brokerage account.
"Fidelity has a long history of addressing customer needs and providing investors with service and innovation they cannot get elsewhere," Richard Blunck, executive vice president of digital distribution for Fidelity, said in a press release.
Fidelity has offered mobile checking on its brokerage accounts since May 2011, and deposits made using that service have increased steadily. In fact, Fidelity reports that its mobile tools enjoyed triple-digit growth in 2011 for the second consecutive year. Between Dec. 31, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2011, year-over-year logins increased nearly 100% across all devices.
The app is available for free from the iTunes app store.

Stainless steel heated towel rails can also be used to hang and dry laundry. Once you have a new stainless steel towel rail installed in your bathroom and have discovered the comfort and convenience of having a heated rack handy, you'll wonder why you waited for so long to purchase one.
The real difference from a straight stainless steel radiator and a clear standstill radiator is the actual distance that the radiator will stick out with a heated towel that is curved it's obviously going to stick out further in the middle of the rail and then be in further on each side. With a straight stainless steel heated towel rail it's basically going to be closer to the wall. This is very handy when you have something like a downstairs cloakroom or small bathroom or ensuite as the towel won't stick out too far and the favourite place to have a tower out it's normally behind your door obviously could you close the door or at the opposite side of the door when entering the room and with this sort of radiator is going to be very very good because it's going to give you more room to be had a walk past the rail and also give you more space in the room. straight stainless steel radiators also have I think quite a nice visual look at they look very neat and tidy and give that perception of a very square and oblong visualisation in the room. Most of the products that are sold are normally straight another terminology is flat you will find on websites that there was a flat heated towel rail this is the same as a straight heated towel rail it's just a turnigy of meaning that the front of the radiator is completely fights and there is no boy or Curve on the radiator is as you're looking down.
Why is Stainless Steel the Best Choice for Heated Towel Rails?
Stainless steel, unlike chrome or paint, is not a coating that can crack and peel with repeated changes in temperature and cyclical exposure to moisture. It is a solid, rust-resistant steel alloy. Solid stainless steel fixtures like these will last for many decades and will maintain their clean, shiny appearance if they're kept clean and unscratched.
Many people prefer stainless steel to any other material for bathroom fixtures such as towel rails and taps. It is attractive, sophisticated-looking and durable. Stainless steel fixtures are available and look appropriate in both modern and traditional styles. If your existing bathroom fixtures are stainless steel, then you'll almost certainly want to choose a towel rail to match. If you're selecting new fixtures, then stainless steel is an excellent choice.
Why we think stainless steel was the best choice of radiator there is a few factors really it's due to what it's made of the key is in the name stainless steel heated towel rail this is also a factor that stainless steel has different variations. The variations do differ in the longevity of the product the majority of products we know that is sold online and at very good prices would normally be 301 stainless steel these grades mean that the corrosive or the carbon inside the product is basically lower strength & Corrosion Resistance grade 301 tends to be a less corrosion resistant than grade 304 because the 301 alloy has a lower chromium content and a higher level of carbon. Also at higher temperatures, the difference in corrosion resistance is more pronounced and a towel rail is supposed to be hot so speaks for its self.
so meaning the radiator would last longer and more durable we believe the best products to have in your bathroom is really one of the higher grades which is most common grade in kitchens if its good for pots and pans them its good for a heated towel rail in stainless steel. With 304 saitless you pay for what you get when you buy a stainless steel radiator or towel rail. there's a real big issue with the knowledge of stainless steel products and the issue is that if it's cheaper then there is something is going to be taken away and this is normally the grade of the stainless steel cheapest stainless steel products will have a lower grade will you ring there will be a 301 302 or 303 this means that the product will not be the same quality as a 304. We recommend 304 and we have a planned on our website which specifically is made by 304 stainless steel this brand is Eastgate we also have another ball plumbers choice and another brand which is called trade read all of them have better grades of stainless steel and this is really important because you do pay for what you get when you buy stainless steel if you tear out. if you're still a product that's significantly cheaper there will be a reason and the reason will be the grade of the stainless steel. He is in the 304 search for always 304 stainless steel and evening 304 there are different grades so the mental is 304 stainless steel you do pay for what you get. So we believe that you should choose a product that's going to last long and you won't need to keep replacing like a chrome radiator which is 5 years we do understand if you buy a lower grade stainless steel radiator it may last 10 to 15 years still if you buy something 304 for most of these have lifetime guarantees.

These towel rails come in a variety of sizes. Be sure to measure the height, width and depth of the area you have available in your bathroom.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters Turn A Pretty Penny
Perhaps after you'd had a few glasses of holiday brew, this next item will look better. Our last word in business is: Ugly Christmas Sweater.
While searching for a way to help her kids pay for college, Anne Marie Blackman spotted a trend she thought she might capitalize on: The holiday-themed sweaters she found online, they didn't seem ugly enough. So, she started My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. for people hoping to win a prize cheese wheel for the scariest holiday sweater at a party.
Blackman says she starts with an outdated Christmas sweater, often with shoulder pads and tacky patterns, then she uglies it up.
ANNE MARIE BLACKMAN: If there's an angel sweater, I might have a 3-D angel that maybe used to be on the top of a tree and I can feed lights through it, and make it bright and attach it to a sweater.
MONTAGNE: Don't worry. If you want an ugly Hanukkah sweater Blackman's got that, too.
BLACKMAN: It's a big crafty menorah that has lights in the menorah where the candles might be. And it's a very fun sweater.
MONTAGNE: Anne Marie Blackman says she expects to sell about 2,000 sweaters this year. It turns out ugly can turn a pretty penny.

Negotiations end years of stalemate and uncertainty
Northrop Grumman Corp. has made two moves to strengthen its ties with Virginia. First, it picked the state for its new corporate headquarters, and then last month it agreed with Gov. Bob McDonnell's administration on modifications to the troubled 10-year, $2.36 billion statewide outsourcing contract it won in 2005.
The state and the huge defense contractor were in a stand-off when the new administration came into office in January, Virginia Secretary of Technology Jim Duffey told Washington Technology. "We were dealing with issues that were fairly old from a chronological point of view that needed to be addressed in order to get things moving."
"The contractor was doing what it believed were the essential services required and not much more," he added. "And the commonwealth suffered with regard to the level of service and responsiveness. There was a lot under discussion."
Duffey described what was in place as a quasi-process that both parties could choose to ignore, allowing problems to remain unresolved for several years.
Duffey, who spent 24 years at EDS Corp. before becoming president and chief executive officer of Duff Consulting, said Virginia wanted a final resolution of all outstanding issues with Northrop Grumman.
"We wanted this negotiation to be final," Duffey said. "This isn't just the first phase of additional payments or claims or processes. This has got to be a global resolution to all of our problems, including performance problems."
The state also wanted any additional payments to Northrop Grumman to be made after the original contract's 10-year time frame.
On April 5, McDonnell announced a successful conclusion to the contract modification talks between the company and the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) that began during the administration of his predecessor, Tim Kaine.
The contract was extended for an additional three years and annual costs will be kept to the $236 million cap agreed on in the original contract, the governor said in a statement. McDonnell also placed VITA under the oversight of Duffey's Office of Technology.
The contract modifications provide for responsiveness and accountability, resolve all pricing issues, and create a rapid response team to address customer service issues, Duffey said.
When completed, the contract will also have established a common communications network for state agencies.
The revised contract includes new hardware and services that Virginia will pay Northrop Grumman an estimated additional fee of $105 million during the three-year extension.
"It provides a series of operational improvements and a series of increased penalties or financial incentives to execute the improvements," Duffey said.
Under the terms of the renegotiated contract, Virginia will manage its IT usage and pay only for what it uses, he added.
"You get a cost per unit of service, and you get your bill and you see how many units you're using," he said. "And you can ask your directors or managers, 'Why are you using so many [units]? Why are you using this type of unit instead of a less expensive type of unit?' You can actually control your destiny with regard to usage."
The agreement also includes new desktop or laptop computers for workers at all state agencies, Duffey said.
"Yes, we had some bumps in the road. Yes, it's not 100 percent complete yet," he said. "But we're well on the way of having all of the commonwealth agencies being serviced by one large data center that has a large, first-class disaster recovery site. So from an efficiency point of view and from a safety and security point of view, it really benefits the commonwealth."
A spokeswoman for Northrop Grumman called the agreement an important step forward.
The current work centers on building infrastructure, Duffey said. "The next step is going to be how do you approach enterprise applications and cloud computing?"
At that point, "probably the first area that we will focus on will be in the health IT area," Duffey said, adding that plans for applications are now being developed.
That will require new contracts, he said. "It probably won't be a one-contractor environment. For large pieces of work, there are some robust, industrial-strength kinds of applications that we will look at."
The state will also examine applications to handle medium and small workloads.
"The important part is to make sure that in all three of those baskets the commonwealth is able to extract and consolidate the data so it can make management decisions at a higher level with accurate and complete data," Duffey said.
Asked when such a contracting process will begin, he said, "My objective would be certainly to start developing an enterprise approach to applications during this administration."
Duffey stopped short of saying that Virginia's one-term gubernatorial limit hampered the contract talks. He said the Northrop Grumman agreement ensures some measure of continuity because of the presence of a large public company.
"From an operational, execution point of view, I do think there's the reality that really the first two and a half years is the window of time where you can be the most effective," he said. "And then after two and a half years, for the last year and a half, the effectiveness of that administration's management and operation of the relationship decreases with time. It's a little bit of a lame duck aspect."
Duffey also refuted suggestions in the press that the terms of the contract extension helped sway Northrop Grumman — already one of the largest employers in the state — into choosing Northern Virginia for its new headquarters.
"In fact, the governor and [Northrop Grumman chief executive officer and president] Wes Bush were pretty conscientious about making sure that there were two separate teams working on those two issues," he said. "And they were fairly well firewalled. Movement on one side had nothing to do with movement on the other."
Northrop Grumman, of Los Angeles, ranks No. 2 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government prime contractors.

As a former contractor who worked for several years under the NG/VITA umbrella, I had direct contact with employees from many state agencies. The number of unsolicited opinions that I got about the level of service they were getting under this contract was astounding. The most frequent comment I heard was that they were being ripped off.
One financial officer summed up this sentiment, "You know, I can account to the penny every every expenditure at this facility, except for the cost of IT services. Right now it's so bad I don't even know what my monthly phone bill is."
For several years, this contract has been a slow motion lawsuit waiting to happen. The only question I have is will the State be able to afford the court costs, or will they continue to be robbed blind by NG?
This contract is a complete disaster and it will continue to be a complete disaster.
Mark my words. Prior to 2014, Virginia & NG will be in litigation over this contract. The state of Virginia is getting ripped off in a big way but can't currently afford to buy the contract out.
This is called "putting the best face on a bad situation."
State agencies are paying millions of dollars in inflated costs for bad service.
Oh yeah. The contract was saved. Virginia is being financially robbed blind and NG does what it wants to do. So much for protecting the tax payers and so much for providing decent, reliable IT services to VA State government.
