BERLIN (Reuters) - This was one Soviet gift Berlin felt like hanging on to after the fall of the Wall - an intimate Tajik tea salon, complete with sandalwood columns, rugs, floor-cushions and samovars.
First displayed at the Soviet Union pavilion at an exhibition in Leipzig in 1974, East Germany installed the tea salon in a Prussian palace on Berlin's grandest boulevard, housing the German-Soviet Friendship Society.
News that the salon is due to close at the end of the month because the building will be restored has triggered wide dismay and a rush of visitors to the small establishment, which offers seats and cushion space for 60 tea-drinkers.
"The atmosphere here is really unique, it is a quiet place to relax in the heart of the city," said Aris Papageorgiou, who has run the salon since 1997.
The surprising approach to the salon is one of its major charms. Visitors sweep into the palace and mount its grand staircase, passing underneath glowing chandeliers and along worn parquet corridors.
Then they remove their shoes and enter the dark Tajik chamber, where an old poster of Soviet Union holiday resorts graces the wall. Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic in central Asia, declared its independence in 1991.
In a city where genuine traces of the Socialist past are fast disappearing, the Berlin tea house has huge value, and visitors fear restoration may stifle its character.
The organization which runs the palace on behalf of the city pledges the tea salon with its fittings is a protected space and will reopen, but that reopening, it warns, could be years away.

Los Angeles - The versatile South African actor Neil Sandilands, known for his work in film, television and theatre, is currently starring in The CW channel's hugely popular post-apocalyptic series The 100 and on 2 March he will also be seen on Sundance TV's most recent foray into original content with its flagship series Hap & Leonard.
The series is based on the Joe R Landsdale novel Savage Season.
Sandilands plays the character Paco and is a series regular.
"I came to the USA as a Green Card holder as early as 2007, but only permanently relocated in 2014. The first audition I did was for the series House MD and I got the part. That was 2010. I wondered why people thought it so difficult to find work in Hollywood?" says Sandilands.
Any notion of success was short-lived as he experienced a drought in his American acting career. Fortunately his South African roots provided creative endeavours such as the feature films Die Ballade van Robbie de Wee, Musiek vir die Agtergrond, the Dutch film The Price of Sugar and some other roles.
The 100
"I had to revert to other disciplines such as directing and post-production and sometimes built fences for my neighbours or some other unmentionable activities to simply keep the wolf at bay. In January 2015 I booked a recurring guest role in The Americans. Hap & Leonard followed soon thereafter and in July 2015 I was cast in The 100."
In The 100, a series about delinquent teenagers sent back to earth 97 years after the apocalypse, Sandilands plays the role of Titus, political advisor and mythological flame-keeper of the Grounder people. The Grounders were Doomsday Preppers who survived the apocalypse. The show stars Eliza Taylor (The November Man, Neighbours), Alycia Debnam-Carey (Fear the Walking Dead), Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy, True Crime) and Paige Turco (Damaged, Person of Interest).
"The 100, filmed in Vancouver, is in its third season and I believe The CW channel will commission a fourth since the show has grown exponentially and also regularly trends on social media platforms. It has become hugely successful cult television," says Sandilands. "Titus plays a pivotal role in season 3, but other than that, I reserve the right to remain silent."
Hap & Leonard
In Hap & Leonard Sandilands stars alongside seasoned actors James Purefoy (The Following, Episodes), Michael Kenneth Williams (Boardwalk Empire, 12 Years a Slave) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, I Don't Know How She Does It). Hap & Leonard debuts on 2 March and was filmed in Louisiana.
"To find representation, especially good representation, in Los Angeles, is one of the biggest challenges before even getting asked to do a single audition." Sandilands is represented by the reputed Abrams Artists Agency in Los Angeles and New York.
"I have done hundreds of unsuccessful auditions and one must cultivate the capacity to process the word "no". It is a process. Well, it has been for me. This is my 26th year in the entertainment industry."
Sandilands acted as a young adolescent in South African series such as Meester and Konings during the late 1980's and early 1990's and became "volksbesit" in the 2000's with his legendary portayal of the beloved character Bart in 7de Laan.
"You never get used to rejection. I think you do learn simply by having the tenacity to survive the rigours of this unforgiving craft. It is preparation in itself. There's no manual. It is an inexact, non-verifiable science, I guess. In terms of the audition process, I simply try to give it my all and be as best prepared as possible. I'm always off-book. I try to make believable choices. If you strike out on 99 half-truths, you may just sneak one moment of clarity past them. The 100. No pun intended."
Any chance that he will work in South Africa again?
"Absolutely," he says. "It remains the work I am most naturally suited to do. It is my Motherland and Afrikaans is the tongue of my mother. The script is the point of departure. I will know when I read the script and when someone has the good faith to ask me to interpret their work."

I love books. Undeniably.
If you'd ask me what I have done most in my entire lifetime, aside from writing, I'd answer reading. I couldn't actually pinpoint, though, the Genesis of such addiction. I started reading books (novels, at that) the moment I learned reading. That's pretty basic. I continued on my addiction until my optometrist said I would have to wear these annoying spectacles (it's never cool, unlike what others believe). Alas, I would have to suffer from myopia til my last breath. (Things seem so near yet remain unseen).
Just to clear things out, I'm not writing in here "The Diary of a four-eyed Freak." That's awfully, painfully dramatic. Don't pity me for blurry eyes, pity yourselves if you haven't tried reading. Perhaps people would find it sooooooo boring just killing time scanning pages. But try it, you would then perhaps understand why a handful of the people go so loco over words printed on papers (not to mention their addicting smell).
Now, what books should you read really? You could all choose from variety of topics – from Astronomy to Zoology. But if you are like this blogger that wants to play movies inside his mind, you'd probably want to cry, laugh, get afraid, amazed and go crazy over these writers whose books would really hook your eyes.
My seven favoritest (the word doesn't exist) authors:
7. Nicolas Sparks
A great story teller that would make you fall in love and would just eventually break your heart with his novels which endings are tragic. Happy-ever-after is where? With his pen, you wouldn't find it. For his stories don't just end, even after you read the last page. In the heart, they remain.
Some of his greatest novels include: A Walk to Remember, The last Song, and The Notebook. And my favorite novel of his, Message in a Bottle.
6. Dan Brown
The author of The Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons and Deception Point.
You'll get crazy following the signs and insignias and the codes he write. You'd think critically like you never did before. Undeniably a great mystery writer, he keeps you figuring out how, who, what and WHY? I've read all of his novels except for his newest piece, The Lost Symbol.
5. John Grisham
All I love about his is the somewhat "legal" touches of his pieces. He'll take you to courts and show you exactly what happens. He offers imagination. And he offers it with premium of truths. The Street Lawyer, The Testament, The Rainmaker, The Last Jury and The Pelican Brief had caused me sleepless nights. All I want for summer is his newest, The Litigators.
4. Mitch Albom
Inspiring and unique. Lines of him are too striking; stories, too moving.
This author behind the well-loved books The Five People You Meet in heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie really knows how to touch lives. His works requires a great leap of change to the readers. You'd change because you'd change. His writings are just great. Nothing more. Nothing less.
3. Jodi Picoult
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
The only gal on my list. I first fell in love with her through My Sister's Keeper. Right then and there, I was hooked up. With her stories with lovely characters and beautiful plots, Jodi had surely made me love life. The stories were great, self-realizing and life changing. Everything's worth handling with care.
2. Paolo Coelho
Author of the bestselling novels: the Zahir, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Brida, The Alchemist, Eleven Minutes and his greatest (to my own paradigm) Veronica Decides to Die.
His works are too philosophical. And he has the greatest lines and words in the world. His stories revolving around people's deviance to the norm are worth trading with a whole-night review for an exam (reminds me of high school. haha!). Seriously, his books are fantastic. the reasons of my visits to our library during high school. And I miss reading his works. I wish somebody would suffice my thirst. (donation, anyone?)
1. James Patterson
And this. My greatest love.
There's something in him that I cannot really resist. The fast paced two-to-three-paged chapters of his books make me finish one in a setting. And you'd learn to love the characters of his well-known series. I just wish Alex Cross, Lindsay Boxer (with the women's murder club), Maximun Ride (and Fang, please) and Daniel X were really existing. Don't he get tired writing books. he's the fastest writer I've known. And flexible, so to speak. From detective stories to science fictions to worth falling love stories, he's simply the best of his field. I pray someday, my collection gets completed.
more of this i want.
Thanks for reading. And i wish it wouldn't stop here. Go grab some book. It's something worthwhile. I tell you.

* TSX ends up 46.32 points at 12,925.11
* Highest close since Sept. 3, 2008
* U.S. jobs jump, Canadian data shows strength (Adds quote, company details)
By Jennifer Kwan
TORONTO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index ended at its highest closing level in more than two years on Friday after jobs data from the United States, Canada's biggest trading partner, surpassed market expectations.
Six of the index's 10 main sectors were higher, led by the financials and the materials groups, which were up 0.8 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively.
Manulife Financial (MFC.TO), the most heavily traded stock on the market, climbed 4.8 percent to C$14.79. It extended gains to a third session, as several analysts boosted price targets on the country's biggest insurer a day after it reported a smaller than expected loss. [ID:nN04213369] [RCH/CA]
Big gainers in the materials group included Teck Resources TCKb.TO up 4 percent at C$49.71, and First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO), which rose 3.3 percent to C$95.36.
The U.S. economy added many more jobs than expected last month, and this helped boost commodities, building on the momentum from the U.S. Federal Reserve's pledge on Wednesday to launch a $600 billion program to buy government bonds to stimulate the ailing U.S. economy. [ID:nN04265378]
"We're starting to see some not insignificant job growth south of the border so that was the big news of the day, and obviously the market was watching that like a hawk," said Paul Taylor, chief investment officer at BMO Harris Investment Management Inc.
Recent U.S. economic data, including Friday's 151,000-job gain for October, has been healthier than expected and this has raised the possibility that the Fed may not have to do as much as thought to shore up the economy.
Investors looked past a poor headline figure on Canada's own employment figures, which showed a rise of just 3,000 jobs in October [ID:nN05281844], and pushed the Canadian dollar to parity with the U.S. currency. The underlying details of the Canadian report were seen as being favorable for a sustainable economic recovery. [CAD/]
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE soared above 13,000 during the day, but trimmed gains to finish the session up 46.32 points, or 0.36 percent, at 12,925.11. It was the index's highest closing level since Sept. 3, 2008.
It was up 2 percent for the week.
The blue chip S&P/TSX 60 index .TSE60 closed 2.61 points higher, or 0.35 percent, at 740.34.
Shares of Magna International (MG.TO), the top net gainer, jumped 6.1 percent to C$99.33 a day after the auto parts maker made a bevy of investor-friendly announcements and released quarterly results that blew past analysts' expectations. [ID:nN05205890]
Telus Corp (T.TO) rose 3 percent to C$45.73. Strong wireless growth and record television subscriber additions helped it post adjusted quarterly earnings on Friday that handily beat analysts' expectations. [ID:nN05280098]
On the downside, shares in Research In Motion RIM.TO sank 2.6 percent to C$55.65 as investors fretted the BlackBerry smartphone's stranglehold on corporate communications was being eroded by rival devices. [ID:nN05208982]
Sid Mokhtari, market technician and director, institutional equity research, CIBC World Markets, said the relative-strength index, an indicator that measures the overbought and oversold conditions for an asset class, showed that the TSX index was "overbought".
He noted the index could drop in coming sessions to its 50-day moving average at around 12,360.
"We view it constructively. This would be a healthy check back. We can't go straight up. We need to pause here and there."

5 tips for the perfect wedding dance
1. Determine your style
Do you want to portray beauty, elegance, passion, romance or excitement? Different dances will evoke different emotions. The Waltz signifies beauty and elegance. It's an unforgettable ballroom dance where you glide across the dance floor. Whereas the Tango is a ballroom dance that is passionate and exciting with dramatic and sharp movements. Whether you choose the Cha-Cha, Two-step, Swing, Tango, Waltz or just wing it, you'll want to make sure the two of you are in step.
3. Choose the right song
When selecting your first dance song, choose one that means something to you as a couple. This will help you relax and get lost in the moment. A song that resonates with you will help to create natural movement from the two of you. It's a good idea to pick a song that is less than three minutes long as anything longer will feel like an eternity for both you and your guests. You can choose to take a dance class with the song to learn new steps or you can practice dancing to the song at home to help you feel more at ease.
4. Keep it simple
Learning a complete dance from start to finish can be overwhelming, but incorporating a few exciting moves into your first dance can be just what you need to spice it up. Consider a few twirls and a dip in sync with the beat of the song – these moves also make for great photos.
5. Make sure you can move
Some times the bride's dress can restrict movement. The bride may want to practice some dance moves in her dress prior to the first dance. There is nothing worse than finding out that you can't lift your arms as you are starting your spin or that your gown is too long and causing you to stumble.
We hope this list of tips guides you in perfecting your first dance as a married couple.
As you prepare for your wedding day, another tip to consider is buying wedding insurance. Markel offers wedding cancellation insurance, which reimburses you for lost deposits and non-refundable amounts if you have to cancel or postpone your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances. Markel's cancellation coverage also protects you against such instances as stolen gifts, a wrecked gown, lost wedding rings and more. Coverage can be purchased anytime at least 14 days before your event, and policies start as low as $130.
In addition, Markel offers wedding liability insurance, protecting you from incidents such as property damage to the venue or injury to a guest – including if one of your guests trips on the dance floor and breaks his or her leg. Up to $2 million in wedding liability insurance can be purchased from Markel any time at least 1 day before your event and covers your ceremony and reception, rehearsal and setup/takedown. Policies start as low as $75.

The Dirt Forum for More Information
I am a UMP Modified rookie this year in Texas and have had a lot of good advice from the other UMP drivers at the track. I have not raced in any other classes before so I don't have any bad habits to change.
Stay in the back until you feel comfortable racing with the others you will learn a lot from following until you are ready to lead.
Also if your car feels sick don't stay out on the track go to the pits and fix the problem. If you can't race smooth and stay in your line you may cause others to wreck and loose their respect.
Good luck!

Sleepy Wings Baby Sleeping Swaddle Jacket
My son loves sleeping with his arms up, and usually sleeps in love to dream bag but in the current heatwave I needed something cooler! This is what I found and I am SO glad I did!
He slept comfortably with his arms up, but was dressed in just a nappy and singlet to beat the heat! Fantastic!
It has dummy pockets, not sure if they work as we dont use a dummy but looks like a great idea also!
The sleepy wings are a fablulous idea and work really well for what they are intended for.
Great for summer babies so they feel wrapped and secure but without getting hot from being fully wrapped in a wrap.
Lightweight and can be washed in the washing machine
You can use them with baby's arms either up or down
I don't think they were too expensive either
I recently purchased these for my 5 month old as he will only sleep when he is wrapped and with the heat i thought these might be a good alternative.
I have tried them a few times and he just refuses to sleep until i wrap him again.
I think they are a good concept and may work well if used from newborn so the baby is use to them but we are having trouble making the transition and i don't think we will get any use out of them
He looked comfortable in them though i think the sizing could be a little more generous. I purchased the up to 10 kilos and he is not even 8 kgs yet but they don't look like they have much room in them
I would be interested to see what other people think of them

Ruby Rose and The Veronicas' Jessica Origliasso's steamy film clip
Newly reconciled couple Ruby Rose and Jessica Origliasso have proved their romance on-screen.
The 'On Your Side' film clip, which was written and directed by the 30-year-old Orange Is The New Black star, was released on Friday morning, and shows the couple in multiple passionate love scenes.
However the video isn't all love, the clip also shows the intense lows of the relationship narrated through the song, with drug and fight scenes.
The 'On Your Side' video was released a week after Origliasso confirmed the pair had rekindled their relationship whilst making the video.
"It's me. Me and Ruby Rose. And it is our love story in this video," the Queensland-born star told Nova Fm .
"It's about the dynamic, the highs and the lows of people in love, in a relationship.
"We have been friends for eight years. A really long time and it was just honestly the craziest thing," Jess admitted. "We just reconnected over doing this video, she wrote and directed it, and is in it with us and we just sort of fell in love."

Mortgage rates today remain historically low, but that could soon come to an end as the Federal Reserve begins to raise interest rates. Here is a closer look at some of the the questions people have about how mortgage interest rates work.
What Is the Interest Rate on Home Loans?
Home mortgage rates are the interest that you pay to the bank for the privilege of using its money to purchase a home. If you buy a home with your own cash, then you will pay no interest rate to a bank. You may also be able to avoid fixed closing costs. However, most people choose to take on a mortgage and the associated monthly payments because of affordability and the opportunities to build wealth through a slower payment structure.
Interest rates can be different on the same piece of property based upon the following factors:
- The time frame for paying back the loan (usually 10, 15 or 30 years)
- The amount of money borrowed (Houses above a jumbo loan threshold usually have higher interest rates associated with them)
- The presence of a cosigner if one is required
- Whether the purchase is the first residential home that a person is buying
- The amount of points that a borrower is willing to purchase on a mortgage
- The location of the property
- Whether the loan is fixed or variable
- The amount of money that is paid up front as a cash down payment
- The credit score of the borrower (740+ receives the lowest interest and refinance rates)
Keep in mind that it's a good idea to check your credit scores before you begin searching for a home or trying to pre-qualify for a mortgage. You can get your two free credit scores at Credit.com. With these two completely free scores, you'll also have access to a tool that shows you how your payment history, debt and other factors are affecting your scores, and you'll get recommendations for steps you may want to consider to address any problems. And, in case you were wondering, checking your own credit reports and scores does not affect your credit in any way.
What Is a Good Interest Rate on a Home Loan?
A good interest rate on a home loan is a loan that is not far above the prime rate. The prime rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from each other. No bank will give a borrower a mortgage at an interest rate that is at or below the prime rate because it is not profitable for them. You can compare mortgage rates using Credit.com's mortgage rate calculator.
How Do Rates for VA Home Loans Compare?
Average loan rates for VA loans are usually lower than those for comparable conventional loans. A borrower that qualifies for a VA home loan may also be able to achieve a lower interest rate even with a lower credit score and a higher debt-to-income ratio than a conventional borrower.
VA home loans have an additional advantage over a conventional loan: exclusion from any private mortgage insurance or PMI. Borrowers who put down less than 20% of the total value of the home as a down payment may be required by the creditor to pay PMI, which helps to protect the bank from losing money in case of a borrower default and may add anywhere from 1% to 2% to the overall interest rate that a borrower pays per year.
What Is a 30-year Fixed-Rate Mortgage?
A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is the default rate that you will see presented in advertisements. If there are no terms associated with an advertised mortgage rate, you can usually assume that it is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. These mortgages are the most popular, in part because the long timeline assures a lower monthly payment than for 10- or 15-year mortgages. The fixed rate ensures that the amount of interest due for each payment never changes no matter the outside market forces.
What Is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage?
By comparison, an adjustable-rate mortgage or ARM has the ability to change based on market forces. The original interest rate may be lower than for a fixed-rate mortgage, but rising prime rates can end up meaning higher interest rates over the life of the mortgage. It can be a good option, however, if are fairly certain interest rates will not rise or if you do not plan to stay in the home for the life of the mortgage.

Tile Glossary
We realize that for an average person a remodel may seem overwhelming so we are offering this glossary of terms to help you better understand products advertised on our website.
3D [tile]
- There are tile mosaics that are created by using tile pieces that vary in thickness. The end result is a 3D effect. These are used for wall installations only.
Aged [finish]
- The stone is tumbled and then distressed.
ANSI [standard]
- ANSI is the American National Standard Institute. The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. ANSI's guidelines are the primary source for tile professionals when it comes to installing tile.
- Most manufacturers have a rating system that is based on or supported by the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). Many times you can find these ratings on the tile sample or in the product catalog. The most common system rates ceramic tile abrasion resistance or the overall durability of the tile. Other ratings might include: scratch resistance, moisture absorption, chemical resistance and breaking strength.
Backer Board
– Backer board is a thin layer of concrete that has fiberglass mesh on its sides and is used under the tile to provide a firm and even surface. Due to its composition, it performs well in areas prone to humidity, such as behind shower walls and under bathroom floors.
Bark Finish [tile]
– with today's technology tile finishes can be made to resemble just about any surface. Porcelain tiles sold with the bark finish generally have a surface that resembles tree bark. This is recommended for installations where slip resistance is important.
Basalt [stone]
- Basalt is a dense rock formed from volcanic lava, it is extremely hard wearing properties and richness of its appearance. Its texture can vary from granular to glass like, while its dark organic colors truthfully convey its tremendous strength.
Battiscopa [tile]
– a battiscopa is Italian for bullnose. Please see definition of Bullnose.
– A beak is a corner piece used along with quarter rounds (see definition of quarter round) to as a finishing trim for tile.
- The surface of the stone is honed with the bevelling applied to the edges.
- Ceramic tiles are fired in a kiln at temperatures around 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Biocuttura Tiles are first fired after the green tile is dried and then fired again after the glaze is applied. Also call Double Fired.
- When you look at a glazed tile from the side you can see 2 layers. The body of the tile, or largest layer, is called the bisque. The top layer is called the glaze.
- bowing is a common occurrence for tiles that are longer than 12 inches. You can tell if a tile has a bow if you place it on a horizontal flat surface such as a desk and look closely at the side of the tile that touches the top of the desk. If the middle of the tile appears higher than the sides, the tile has a bow. This is only a problem for staggered installations where the overlay is greater than 25%. For this reason the current ANSI standard is to not exceed 25% overlay when installing longer tiles.
Brushed Finish
- Tiles with a brushed finish have a worn-down look achieved by brushing the surface of the tile to simulate natural wear over time.
Bullnose [tile]
- a bullnose is trim tile that is used to provide a smooth, rounded edge for areas where the tile transitions to painted wall. Bullnoses are used to trim unfinished edges of wall tiles around showers, tub surrounds, backsplashes, and more. Bullnoses are also commonly used as floor baseboard as well as for tiling of steps.
Bush Hammered
– The surface of the stone is texturized with hammers to create a stone is then softened by light brushing.
– caliber refers to the overall facial dimension and thickness of a tile. The caliber of a tile can vary from dye lot to dye lot. Caliber also comes into play when suing several different tile sizes in a pattern.
Cap [tile]
– cap is a generic term for a bullnose or a finishing trim tile.
Capitello [tile]
– capitello is Italian for Crown molding tile.
- Many ceramic tile installers have opted for the industry accepted and more efficient thin set method, where the tile is adhered directly onto a backer board that is nailed to a plywood or concrete substrate using a much thinner layer of mortar. This backer board is called a CBU, or cement backer unit, which provides a supportive and water resistant layer between the porous substrate and the mortar and tile applied on top of it.
Ceramic [tile]
– ceramic tile is made from a mixture of clays and other materials, then kiln-fired to approximately 1400 degrees. In general, both porcelain and ceramic tile are called ceramic tile thus when purchasing tile it is important to make the distinction between non-porcelain and porcelain tile. Magic Floors recommends porcelain tile for high traffic floors since ceramic tile is not as strong as porcelain. Ceramic tile is ideal for most wall applications.
Chair Rail [tile]
– a chair rail molding is a decorative finishing tile which can be used as edging for half walls in bathrooms or as a decorative border to separate the top and bottom tile on the wall.
– The edges of the stone are chipped, the surface.
Cleaner [tile]
– often when tile with a glossy or polished surface is packaged for shipping from the factory to the distribution channels, the surface of the tile is covered with a waxy substance that cannot be easily removed with household cleaners. The wax is applied on purpose to prevent scratching and damage during transit. We recommend Deterdek® cleaner by Fila for this purpose.
Crown Molding [tile]
- Crown molding tile is a decorative tile that is installed along the line where the wall meets the ceiling.
Cement Board
- a cement board is typically used as a tile backing board. It is made from cement and reinforcing fibers which are formed into 4 by 8 foot sheets. Cement boards come in 1/4 to 1/2 inch thicknesses. Magic Floors recommends PermaBase® cement board by National Gypsum. The main advantage of PermaBase® over competition is that it is highly moisture resistant, and will not rot, disintegrate or swell when exposed to water.
Coefficient of Friction or COF
– Coefficient of friction is a measure of skid resistance used to determine the degree of slippage on a tiled surface. As a general rule the more textured a tile is, the less slippery it is.
Color Body [tile]
- Color body porcelain tiles are created with continuous colored stains from the glaze surface throughout the body of the tile.
Corner Bullnose
– A ceramic tile trim that has two rounded finished edges on the tile to be used to complete a corner.
- Schluter®-DITRA and DITRA-XL are specifically designed for ceramic and stone tile installations to prevent cracked tile and grout. Made of polyethylene, DITRA and DITRA-XL serve as a waterproofing layer that protects moisture-sensitive substrates, such as plywood/OSB. Free-space on the underside of the matting provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to prevent damage to the tile layer above.
– The stone has a lightly pillowed effect with a smooth finish and worn ages.
Double Bullnose
- a double bullnose, also called a corner bullnose, has 2 finished edges and is designed for applications where a bullnose is required to finish off a corner.
Dye Lot
- A dye lot is a production run, most dye lots are a code with numbers and letters from the manufacturer that identify certain batches of tile.
Epoxy Grout
- Made from epoxy resins and a filler powder, the expoxy grout is extremely hard, durable, and nearly stain proof. Often times the bond between tiles is stronger than the tile itself. The drawbacks are that most installers find it harder to use than cementitious grout and the cost is considerably higher. Today in order to achievea similar stain proof effect there are alternatives to using the epoxy grout such as using Tec® Power Grout® or using a grout additive such as Grout Shield® or Grout Once®.
Extruded [tile]
- Extruded tiles are formed by forcing the clay material through a mold for the desired shape versus pressing the tile.
Glazed [tile]
- In terms of how they are manufactured, there is no difference between glazed and unglazed ceramic and porcelain tile, other than the fact that glazed tiles undergo an additional phase in the firing process. During this additional process, a layer of liquid glass is added to glazed tiles by means of very high temperatures.
Glossy [finish]
- glossy tiles are ideal for use on walls, as their beautiful silken finish will bounce light around the room. Their slippery nature makes them ideal for use on bathroom walls and kitchen backsplashes, as they are a breeze to wipe clean. Gloss tiles are also great for use around fireplaces since their easy-to-clean nature means that it is effortless to clean away soot and to keep them looking their best.
- Ceramic tile ratings are set up in a grading system of 1 to 5, based on the tile's toughness and durability. Grade 1: This is the weakest of all standard grade ceramic tiles. It's really only suitable as a wall tile. Grade 2: This is best for light traffic areas. Again, a great product for wall tiles, but it will also work in residential bathrooms, where foot traffic is minimal. Grade 3: Where ceramic tile ratings are concerned, grade three is most common in residential building, and perfect for light to moderate traffic. This makes it a very sensible choice for residential kitchens, countertops, residential flooring, and all areas that receive lighter wear and tear (i.e., grade 1 and 2 areas). Grade 4: This grade is a step up from grade 3 tile grades. It's still a good choice for residential uses, such as tile floors and countertops, but it can also take the heavier abuse of light commercial foot traffic, such as you'd find in a doctor's office. Grade 5: When it comes to standard grade ceramic tiles, grade 5 is built to take a beating. It's mostly used in high traffic commercial areas such as shopping malls and airports.
- Grout is a type of cement that is used to fill the space and provide support in tile joints. There are two types of grout commonly used in home installations; Portland cement based, and epoxy based. Both of these grout compounds may have sand added to provide additional strength to the tile joint. Pigment is added to the cement at the job site when the grout is mixed.
Hammered [finish]
– The stone is bush hammered and brushed, achieving an anti-slip surface.
Hand Mold [tile]
– Authentic handmold tile is hand-formed clay tile characterized by irregular edges, corners and surface variations.
Hand Mold Look [tile]
– Hand mold look tile is general production tile that is made to appear as if it was made by hand and is characterized by irregular edges, corners and surface variations.
Honed [finish]
- Honed finish refers to stone that has a smooth texture and finish that is achieved by grinding one side of the unfinished stone. Honed finish Travertine tile can be filled or unfilled. (You will notice the abbreviations H/F or H/UF used with honed Travertine to identify filled or unfilled.)
Faschia [tile]
- Faschia is a term commonly used for decorative tiles or borders made in Italy.
Filled [natural stone]
- Filled is a term used with honed travertine. Natural Travertine tile has naturally occurring pits. Some applications require that the pits be filled. You'll notice the abbreviations H/F or H/UF used with honed Travertine to identify filled or unfilled.
Floor [tile]
– Floor tile refers to tile that is suitable to be installed on floors. Floor tile can be used on walls however the reverse is not necessarily true.
Field [tile]
– Field tile is an industry term that includes both floor and wall tile and excludes trim and decorative pieces.
Flashed [tile]
– Flashed is a term used with Quarry tile. Some quarry tile is produced with a shade variation from tile to tile. This classic architectural look is known as flashing and is achieved through controlling the flow of oxygen and gases in the kiln.
Full Body [porcelain tile]
– Full body porcelain tile, also called through body porcelain (sometimes referred to as unglazed porcelain) tiles are produced using colored raw materials that permeate the entire tile, incorporating uninterrupted color and pattern features seen on the surface all the way through the tile body.
Gauged [tile]
- The terms gauged and ungauged have a specific relevance in regards to slate. Slate can be purchased either way and gauged is typically more expensive. Gauged has to do with the sameness of the pieces, and it particularly refers to the thickness. Ungauged slate can potentially vary in thickness from 1/8 inch to more than an inch from one side to another. Gauged vary as well, but typically stay in a variance less than 1/4 inch.
Grout Shield®
- Miracle Sealants Grout Shield® is a specialty sealer additive that mixes with cement-based grout instead of water to provide a stain resistant grout installation without any additional sealing. Perfect for interior and exterior use.
Grout Once®
- Grout Once® is a specialty sealer additive that mixes with cement-based grout instead of water to provide a stain resistant grout installation without any additional sealing. Perfect for interior and exterior use.
Impervious Tiles
- Tiles that have less than 0.5% moisture absorption. These tiles are frost proof and can be used in exterior areas or on the outside of building facades. You can use these cold climates.
Inkjet Printing Technology
- Latest method of manufacturing tiles that allow for diversified designs on tiles so that no two tiles look the same. In this way, natural stone tiles can be replicated realistically.
Italian [tile]
– Italian tile factories are the oldest and most experienced tile makers in the world. Italian tile is considered the best in the tile industry for its quality, durability, and design aspects.
Indoor [tile]
– Tile is classified as indoor tile due to its degree of water absorption as well as slip resistance. All tile can be used indoors however indoor tile cannot generally be used outdoors.
- Schluter®-JOLLY is a finishing and decorative edge-protection profile for the outside corners of tiled surfaces.The Jolly® profile is available in chrome-plated solid brass, color-coated aluminum, anodized aluminum, and PVC in a variety of thicknesses.
- Schluter®-QUADEC is a finishing and edge protection profile for tiled edges and outside corners of tiled surfaces, and is distinguished by its squared reveal surface. Designed to prevent tile edges from chipping and can be incorporated as an accent within tile fields on floors and walls.
- Schluter®-KERDI is a pliable sheet-applied waterproofing membrane and vapor-retarder designed for the direct application of tile. KERDI is ideal for use in tiled showers, bathtub surrounds, residential steam showers, and other tile applications in wet areas.
– For the most part each tile size is sold separately so when a tile pattern requires several tile sizes, it is necessary to calculate the quantity needed of each size of tile then purchase the appropriate number of cartons of each tile size to satisfy the chosen pattern. Some tile is sold in kits where each carton of tile is sorted to include exactly the correct number of each tile size to create a pattern. The most common pattern sold in kits is called the Versailles pattern. Another name for a kit common to the industry is modular.
– Lappato is Italian for Semi-Polished finish. Semi-polished, is achieved by polishing the tile's surface with an abrasive wheel but not long enough to attain the luster of a typical polished tile.
Ledge Stone
– Ledgestone, sometimes called Ledger Stone, is an all natural stacked stone used for siding,veneer and cladding. It is used in residential and commercial architectural construction for both exterior and interior applications. Thin Veneer is cut from real, all natural stone.
– Formed by layers of marine organisms, deposited on the sea floor and compressed over millions of years to create a stone of intriguing texture and character.
Listello [tile]
- Listello is Italian for a decorative border. Listellos are generally rectangular in shape. Marble – Marble is the result of extreme heat and pressure applied to limestone, capturing many beautiful colours that range from Marshallsly cool to rich and warm. It can be highly polished, creating the lustrous illusion of depth.
- Mastic is an organic glue adhesive for tile made from the sticky resin of the mastic tree. It's available as a thin-liquid, thick glue, or a sticky paste.
Matita [tile]
– Matita is Italian for decorative pencil trim.
Matte [tile]
- Matt tiles are smooth and flat and create a more informal and softer look. This is created by stopping short of the last stage of polishing. A matt finish shows fewer scratches, requires very little maintenance and provides better traction. Matte tiles are desired by anyone creating a traditional or rustic look within their home.
Medallion [tile]
– A medallion is a decorative item that is used as a focal centerpiece for walls or floors. Medallions are made from carefully crafted and intricately arranged patterns of stone and porcelain tile on a grand scale.
Modular [pattern tile]
- For the most part each tile size is sold separately so when a tile pattern requires several tile sizes, it is necessary to calculate the quantity needed of each size of tile then purchase the appropriate number of cartons of each tile size to satisfy the chosen pattern. Some tile is sold in kits where each carton of tile is sorted to include exactly the correct number of each tile size to create a pattern. The most common pattern sold in kits is called the Versailles pattern. Another name for a kit common to the industry is modular.
Moisture Absorption
- As the density of the tile increases, the amount of moisture that tile can absorb becomes less. Tile density means that, as the weight or the density of the tile increases, it becomes a stronger tile. Tile density and moisture absorption have an indirect relationship to each other. As the density of the tile increases the moisture absorption rate becomes less.
Mold and Mildew Resistant [grout]
– Grout has historically been subject to mold and mildew, not to mention staining. Magic Floors offers TEC Power Grout® which is designed to address these very issues. It is mold, mildew and stain resistant and never needs sealing.
Monocuttura Tile
- Ceramic tiles are fired in a kiln at temperatures around 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Tiles that are fired once after the glaze is applied are called Monocuttura Tile or single fired.
Mosaic [tile]
- Mosaic tile is created by assembling small pieces of colored glass, tile, stone, or other materials. It is a technique of decorative art or interior decoration. Combining pieces of varying sizes allows creation of desired patterns. Magic Floors offers a multitude of glass, porcelain and stone mosaics in square, brick, random, basket weave, pinwheel, as well as other patterns.
Muretto [tile]
– A muretto is a mosaic tile is created by assembling small rectangular strips or pieces of colored glass, tile, stone, or other materials. It is a technique of decorative art or interior decoration. Combining pieces of varying sizes allows creation of desired patterns.
Natural [finish]
– see Matte.
Natural Stone [tile]
- Natural Stone refers to a number of products quarried from the earth, used over many thousands of years as building materials and decorative enhancements. These products include Granite, Marble, Limestone, Travertine, Slate, Quartzite, Sandstone, Adoquin, Onyx, and others.
Nominal size
- Tile is usually referred to by its nominal size, not its actual size. During the firing process, ceramic tile will shrink, on average, by about 10% in size. For example a 12" by 12" floor tile will actually measure 11-7/8 inches square.
Non-Vitreous [tile]
– Non-vitreous tiles absorb 7% or more moisture and are suited for indoor use only.
Outdoor [tile]
- Outdoor areas should be paved with matte tiles due to their durability and slip resistance. Outdoor tile must be made from natural stone or a porcelain with a low rate of water absorbtion especially in cold climates. Popular styles for an outdoor tile are terracotta, travertine and limestone look.
Pattern [tile]
– Tiles of different sizes have traditionally been laid in set patterns. Some popular tile patterns include hopscotch and versailles.
PEI Rating
– see Grade
Pencil [tile]
– A pencil or as it is sometimes called pencil liner, is a decorative half-circular trim used to finish off a section of tile or to act as a separation between different type tiles.
-The stone is honed and then its edges are gently and evenly rounded across the length and breadth of the stone. Across the length and breadth of the stone.
Polymer Modified [thinset]
– Proper adhesion for a thinset is all about water retention for as long as possible. A polymer modified thinset (as opposed to unmodified thinset) retains water for a more durable end result, as well as adding flexibility and bonding power.
Polished [tile]
- Polished finish is achieved by polishing the tile's surface with an abrasive wheel long enough to attain luster, thus creating a shine without a glaze.
Pool Tile
- Like tiles for your kitchen and bathroom, swimming pool tiles are available in a virtually unlimited range of styles, colors, shapes, and types of swimming pool tiles. The most popular options for swimming pool tile are porcelain tile, porcelain tile mosaic, and glass tile and mosaic. These are popular for their durability and low maintenance. Brick and natural stone are also used for swimming pools however since both are porous they require sealing every few years so that the water does not penetrate and damage them.
Porcelain [tile]
- Porcelain tile is made up of 50% feldspar and is fired at a much higher temperature than regular ceramic tile. This makes porcelain tile much harder and more dense than other tile products. Because of its highly durable make-up, porcelain is more resistant to scratches and can withstand temperature extremes. Also, because porcelain is non-porous, it's very stain resistant, has very low water absorption ratings (Less than 0.5%) and thus can be used for interior and exterior applications as well as heavy-use and commercial areas. Porcelain tiles are ideal for use in bathrooms and kitchens, because they are particularly well suited to handle the moist, often humid, conditions present there. The very low rate of water absorption helps to resist damage, as well as the growth of mold and mildew. Porcelain tiles are even more resistant than natural stones – and they are easier to care for and maintain.
Power Grout®
- TEC® Power Grout® a highly stain resistant grout that provides strong, color consistent joints by resisting efflorescence, cracking and shrinking. Power Grout® is designed for virtually any environment, including high traffic and wet conditions, and in residential and commercial tile grout applications. Power Grout® is a true breakthrough in grout technology.
Profile [edging tile]
– When using ceramic or porcelain tile rather than natural stone the edge of the tile needs to be finished with trim. This can be handled with a bullnose tile or a profile edge tile. Magic Floors offers the full line of Schluter ® profiles such as Jolly®, Rondec®, Quadec®, and Schiene®.
Quarry [tile]
– Quarry tile production has its roots in the brick making industry and uses raw material similar to that used in the manufacture of brick products. They are suitable for the most demanding installations and are often the tile of choice for areas such as commercial kitchens. Quarry tiles are made from a mixture of natural ingredients including clays, shales and feldspar. These tiles are slip resistant and are an excellent choice for areas subject to heavy spills and moisture. They also perform well in outdoor applications - even in extreme climates.
Quarter Round [tile]
- Also called a bead, this curved trim piece is used to finish the edges of tile installed on a mortar bed. It looks like a quarter of a round. The corner piece is called a beak.
- Formed by water travelling through limestone and emerging as hot springs, then cooling rapidly. The minerals it collects on its journey are captured as rich and creamy colours, frequently complemented by tiny shell patterns.
Rectified [tile]
- Unlike a typical factory-edged tile, a rectified tile has been cut to exact size after the firing process. This process creates a precise edge and, as a result, can be laid with a narrower grout joint than unrectified tiles. This gives a smoother, more sophisticated and continuous look to the room overall.
Red body [ceramic tile]
– Red body tile refers to ceramic tile which is made of clay and is fired in a kiln and then a glaze is put on top. This is where any color or pattern is added to the tile. These tiles can be used on both walls and floors. They are not as strong as porcelain, and as a result are easier to cut.
- Schluter ®-RONDEC is a finishing and edge-protection profile for tiled edges and outside corners of tiled surfaces. The reveal of the profile forms a symmetrically rounded corner along the surface edge. Prevents tile edges from chipping.
– A sill is a slab of stone at the foot of a window or doorway.
– Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formation of coarse sand quartz and cementing materials such as clay. Sandstone is often distinguishable by region and colour variations including grey, yellow, red and white.
Spain [tile]
– Spanish tile manufacturers are world renowned and in the industry are known to be second only to Italian manufacturers. Spain manufactures a wide variety of floor, wall and decorative tiles. Magic Floors Inc. carries a wide variety of Spanish wall and floor tile collections designed for bathrooms at super low prices.
Sanded Grout
- There are two types of grout commonly used in home installations; Portland cement based, and epoxy based. Both of these grout compounds may have sand added to provide additional strength to the tile joint. Sanded grout is recommended for tile joints 1/8th of an inch and larger.
Sanitary Cove Base
- A ceramic floor tile trim that has a rounded finished top like a bullnose to cover up the body of the tile.
- Schluter®-SCHIENE is a finishing and decorative edge-protection profile for the outside corners of tiled surfaces. Schiene is available in solid brass, aluminum, and stainless steel.
Sealer [tile and stone]
- A sealer is a liquid coat applied to the porous surface of the tile or grout, to protect them from oxidation, natural deterioration and day-to-day wear. Typically speaking, sealers are used to protect unglazed tiles and grouts from absorbing stains.
Semi-Polished [tile]
- Semi-polished finish is achieved by polishing the tile's surface with an abrasive wheel but not long enough to attain the luster of a typical polished tile.
Semi-Vitreous Tiles
- Tiles that absorb from 3% to 7% moisture. They are applicable for indoor use only. Shade Variation - Shade variation is inherent in all fired ceramic products and certain tiles will show greater variation within their dye lots. Shade variation is usually listed on the back label of each sample with a low, moderate, high or random rating. Low: consistent shade and texture. Moderate: moderate shade and texture variation. High: high shade and texture variation. Random: very high shade and texture variation.
– Formed by water travelling through limestone and emerging as hot springs, then cooling rapidly. The minerals it collects on its journey are captured as rich and creamy colours, frequently complemented by tiny shell patterns.
Slim Tiles
- Unlike regular tiles which are commonly 9-11mm thick, slim tiles are only 4-5mm thick, but have comparable strength. This makes them ideal for renovations as they can be laid on top of existing tiles, saving on demolition costs. Slip Resistance – Slip resistance in tile is measured by the Coefficient of Friction. See Coefficient of Friction.
Sparkle Grout
– A special grout has been formulated especially for those that love shiny glass tiles. This grout sparkles and perfectly complements glass tile installations. This patented, reflective, water based, urethane grout called Dimension® RapidCure™ by Bostik contains micro-glass beads and a translucent, urethane binder that both reflects light as well as allows it to pass through.
Stain Resistant [grout]
– see Power Grout®.
- The process for installing a ceramic floor begins with the preparation of the tile foundation, or what's called the substrate. Common materials used as tile substrates in home installations include concrete, plywood, and drywall.
Thickset/Mud Set
- In the past, ceramic tile was installed using what is called the thickset or mud set method. In this method, a thick layer of mortar was applied to a waterproofed and steel reinforced substrate. This provided a strong, flat base onto which the tile was installed. The thickset method is effective, but it's an involved and labor-intensive process.
- Today, many tile installers have opted for the industry accepted and more efficient thinset method, where the tile is adhered directly onto a backer board that is nailed to a plywood or concrete substrate using a much thinner layer of mortar.
Through Body [porcelain tile]
– Through body porcelain (sometimes referred to as unglazed porcelain) tiles are produced using colored raw materials that permeate the entire tile, incorporating uninterrupted color and pattern features seen on the surface all the way through the tile body.
Tile Density
- Tile density means that, as the weight or the density of the tile increases, it becomes a stronger tile. Moisture absorption means that, as the density of the tile increases, the amount of moisture that tile can absorb becomes less. Tile density and moisture absorption have an indirect relationship to each other. What this means is that as the density of the tile increases the moisture absorption rate becomes less. Tile density and moisture absorption is important for you to understand when selecting tile for different applications.
Tozetto [tile]
– Tozetto is Italian for decorative accent or insert.
- A threshold is a transition edge between two types of flooring. Thresholds are usually installed in doorways, such as in a bathroom doorway where the flooring changes from tile to wood or carpet. They can come in a number of different materials and profiles.
– Formed by water travelling through limestone and emerging as hot springs, then cooling rapidly. The minerals it collects on its journey are captured as rich and creamy colours, frequently complemented by tiny shell patterns.
Tumbled [edge tile]
– Tumbled edge is created by a process where many pieces of stone that have been cut to the same size are placed in a rubber coated or plastic barrel with an abrasive grit and water. The items are packed in such a way that the pieces rub against each other with the grit between them. The result is a somewhat rounded irregular edge.
Undulated [tile]
– A tile with an undulated surface appears with slight uneven bumps. With glossy undulated tile this creates a beautiful light play. Undulated wall tiles have become very popular in bathroom projects. Magic Floors best selling undulated wall tile is Gabriella Casa Vogue.
Unglazed [tile]
- Unglazed tiles tend to be denser and thicker than glazed tiles, and because of their unfinished exteriors, they tend to be a great choice if you're looking for a slip resistant surface in an area like a laundry room or kitchen where the tile is likely to be subjected to high amounts of moisture. In terms of safety, this is a big consideration. For areas with heavy foot traffic, as well as outdoor applications (in milder climates), unglazed tiles are a very good choice. Along with safety benefits, unglazed ceramic and porcelain tiles are sought after because of their scratch resistance and natural beauty. Since they're colored by the mineral deposits from where the clay was originally taken, these tiles offer an earthy aesthetic quality.
Unsanded Grout
- There are two types of grout commonly used in home installations; Portland cement based, and epoxy based. Both of these grout compounds may have sand added to provide additional strength to the tile joint. Unsanded grout is typically used in joints that are smaller than 1/8th of an inch.
Wall [tile]
– Tile that is designated as wall tile should only be used on walls as they are not designed to withstand floor traffic.
White body [ceramic tile]
- White Body refers to a tile that has been glazed and double fired, with a porous white biscuit (body) shaped by pressing. This material is ideal for subtle color decoration. It is predominately used as an interior wall tile or for bathroom floors.
Wonder Board®
- Wonder Board® is a popular fiberglass mesh-reinforced cement backerboard for residential and commercial tile, stone, slate and thin-brick applications. With its high-flexural strength and with moisture resistance, WonderBoard® ideal for both interior and exterior substrate applications.

Vitreous Tiles
- Tiles that absorb less that 3% moisture. They are referred to as frost resistant tiles but cannot be used in exterior areas where freeze- thaw conditions could cause tile cracking.

Christchurch Park, Christchurch 2.00pm(AEST)
Last meeting: Final 2011 - Reds 18 bt Crusaders 13 at Suncorp Stadium
Head-to-head: Played 18 Crusaders 12 Reds 6
Referee: Ian Smith (AUS)
Head-to-head: Played 18 Crusaders 12 Reds 6
Referee: Ian Smith (AUS)
Greg Growden writes: Those masterful manipulators in Brisbane are delighted that Will Genia is staying, but Christchurch should bring everyone back to reality. The Crusaders are building momentum and are the team to beat. The Reds are better than the Waratahs but are expected to suffer similar pain.
AAP writes: The Reds can expect a vicious Christchurch welcome on Sunday as the seven-time champions look to avenge last year's final defeat. Queensland are at long odds to score a fourth straight win over the Crusaders but not in the eyes of coach Ewen McKenzie, who believes his side has turned the corner with their 23-11 win over the Blues. The return of the Faingaa twins beefs up both their backline and front-row stocks and the only cavalry member left to appear is Quade Cooper. The Reds must cope with the home side's powerful scrum and also shut down Robbie Fruean in the midfield. All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw is in line for a run-on start after his 20-minute return in the 37-33 win over NSW.

CRUSADERS: Israel Dagg, Sean Maitland/Adam Whitelock, Robbie Fruean, Dan Carter, Zac Guildford, Tom Taylor, Andy Ellis, Kieran Read, Matt Todd, George Whitelock, Tom Donnelly, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Corey Flynn, Ben Franks.

New York City in the spring time makes the winter worth it every year. Today I took this photo of a blooming magnolia tree with the Flatiron Building in the background using my iPhone. However it was way too dark, so I used some iPhone app magic to make it look better.
I first uploaded it to Photoshop Express (PS Express) app then increased the exposure, saturation and contrast.
Lastly I uploaded the improved iPhone photo into Instagram zoomed in, cropped and added the Sutro filter. I am so happy with how it turned out!

Electrical In Situ Measurements for Predicting Behavior of Soilsby A. Anandarajah, Johns Hopkins Univ, Baltimore, MD, USA,
N. J. Meegoda, Johns Hopkins Univ, Baltimore, MD, USA,
K. Arulanandan, Johns Hopkins Univ, Baltimore, MD, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Use of In Situ Tests in Geotechnical Engineering
A new method is presented for predicting the in situ stress-strain behavior of fine grained soils based upon in situ measurements of its electrical properties. The method involves the selection of an accurate constitutive model and the evaluation of model parameters required via correlations between electrical and mechanical parameters. A bounding surface elasto-plastic model is chosen for this study and correlations have been established for model parameters which control the behavior of normally consolidated soils. The method is verified by making field measurements of electrical properties at a site containing copper mine tailings.

text: (Washington-AP) -- The F.B.I. is warning state and local law enforcement agencies that Al-Qaida could strike in the United States as well as at U.S. and Western interests overseas. The F.B.I. bulletin says the bombings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, show that Al-Qaida is "active and highly capable." It goes on to say that the U.S. intelligence community believes that such attacks overseas are likely, and that attacks in the U.S. cannot be ruled out. The bulletin says the Saudi attacks featured "traditional hallmarks of Al-Qaida operations." Each bombing involved a sedan followed by a truck or sport utility vehicle full of explosives. Gunmen were used to attack guards and overcome security measures. Thirty-four people were killed, including eight Americans. Al-Qaida also is suspected in another series of bomb attacks Friday in Morocco that killed 41 people. The F.B.I. has warned before that apartment buildings, hotels, restaurants and businesses could be targeted.
