Domestic violence, also called intimate partner violence, is a
pattern of abusive behavior in which one person uses fear and intimidation to
gain power and control over a partner or family member. It can take many forms,
including physical battering, emotional abuse, economic abuse, or sexual abuse,
and can also involve children, threats, intimidation, and isolation.
Domestic violence is also called intimate partner abuse, family
violence, same-sex abuse, battering, elder abuse, and teen relationship
While domestic violence can affect men, the large majority of its
victims are women. Domestic violence often has devastating physical and
emotional consequences for those abused and their children.

text: Sake does not get into fights with food Richard Auffrey November 25, 2009 FCG, The Wine World, Wine Spotlight 6 Comments You might think sake only works with sushi or other Japanese cuisine — it's a common misperception. But don't be fooled: Sake is such a diverse beverage that it can pair with almost any dish. by Marshall Astor - Food Pornographer Nihonshu wa ryori wo erabanai. This Japanese saying essentially translates as "Sake does not get into fights with food." It means sake pairs well with many different foods and generally won't overpower anything on your plate. This is especially meaningful when you consider all the different varieties and styles of sake that exist. The standard foods traditionally considered most appropriate for sake are collectively referred to as sakana. This usually includes raw fish, grilled meats, vegetables (often pickled), edamame and tofu. Yet the versatility of sake extends well beyond this short list. by FotoosVanRobin Let us first consider some of the basic types of sake and how they compare to wine. Junmai sake, which often has a rich, heavy body, is sometimes considered the "red wine" of sake and thus can pair with stronger flavors including beef, fried foods and rich sauces — or even steak. Ginjo and Daiginjo sake are often lighter and more subtle, comparable to many white wines. They should be paired with lighter, milder foods, such as seafood and chicken. Those are the basic generalities, but we must also consider the differing sake profiles and intriguing variations. For example, because sake acidity varies, you should pair more acidic sake with oilier foods, while sake with lower acidity pairs best with rich or salty foods. Like Riesling, sake can range from sweet to bone-dry, and a sweet sake can pair very well with spicy dishes, such as Thai or Indian curry. A fine Burgundy may have an earthy or mushroom component, and the Kimoto or Yamahai sakes can have a similar profile, so they will pair well with foods appropriate for such wines. Try an earthy Kimoto with duck or lamb. Photo credit el copilot Rather than pair Champagne with caviar, you can try a sparkling sake instead. Note that that most sparkling sake tends to be on the sweeter side, though there are dry varieties as well. For a dessert pairing, try a sweet Nigori, an unfiltered sake, or even the Koshu, an aged sake comparable to a fine Port. Of course, there are some foods that should not be paired with sake. The conventional wisdom says that because sake is made from rice, you should not drink it with rice dishes, including nigiri sushi and maki rolls. Instead, the thinking goes, you should pair sashimi — raw fish without rice — with sake. This is not a protocol to which I adhere, though, and I have not had any problems pairing sushi and sake. That is especially true when the sake does not have any noticeable rice aromas or flavors. As with any recommended pairings, these are only suggestions, and personal preferences will vary. Don't be afraid to expand your horizons and abandon your preconceptions about sake. It is a far more diverse beverage than many realize — and it complements many more foods than you might think. – Richard Auffrey has been writing about food and wine for over four years. He currently authors The Passionate Foodie blog and also writes a weekly food/wine column for the Stoneham Sunnewspaper. Though based in Massachusetts, Richard writes about everywhere that he travels and has a special affinity for Nihonshu, Japanese Sake. – Edited by Elizabeth DeHoff. Pingback: Tweets that mention Sake does not get into fights with food : PALATE PRESS -- Topsy.com() http://cooking4theweek.blogspot.com Mary This is a great push Richard. I have a few bottles I was given as a gift and never think to drink them with anything but Japanese food, which I seldom cook. What do you feel is the appropriate temp for serving it? Should a Junmai be served at a slightly warmer (not warm should maybe say "less cool") temperature than a Ginjo sake? Thanks! http://passionatefoodie.blogspot.com/ Richard Auffrey Hi Mary: Generally, good sake, of all quality grades, should be served slightly chilled. That should be the default. There are exceptions, and may be noted on the sake bottle. Sometimes room temp is recommended, and sometimes slightly warmed. But if you possess no other info, serve it chilled. Kanpai! Pingback: uberVU - social comments() http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotoosvanrobin/3182238046/ FotoosVanRobin I would appreciate it if you could give credits for my steak photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotoosvanrobin/3182238046/ http://www.sakeguide.com.au Sake guide I can't help but note that the Japanese word "sakana" means fish. Also, Junmai simply means "no alcohol added". Sake can be both Junmai and Ginjo at the same time. Ginjo/Daiginjo refers to the degree of rice polishing. Kampai!

A Post By: Darren Rowse How do you take Portraits that have the 'Wow' factor?
Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box. You see it's all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules – but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules. I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography. I'll share ten of these tips today and a further ten tomorrow (update: you can see the 2nd part here). 1.
Miniaturize a Scene. From Wired How-To Wiki It's called a tilt-shift effect.
It's a favorite device of fine-art photographers and the Flickr crowd. The idea is to keep a narrow band of a picture in sharp focus while blurring everything else. Technology Review. On a summer day in 1826, at his country estate about 340 kilometers southeast of Paris, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce set up his camera obscura and projected the image of his courtyard onto a pewter plate coated with a light-sensitive material.
For eight hours, the lens focused light from the sun, chemically fixing the areas where the light struck the plate to capture the view of a pigeon house, a pear tree, a barn roof, and an extended wing of his house. For this achievement, Niépce is credited with creating the world's first photograph. Pewter and other solid plates gave way to flexible rolls of film in 1889; color film followed in the mid-1930s. In the mid-1990s, the first mass-market color digital cameras were introduced, capturing images with light sensors on a chip. These advances have led to cheaper, smaller, more portable cameras that can produce vivid images. Raskar, however, is hoping that he and others at MIT and around the world can spark a revolution in photography. How to Take Extraordinary Photographs, Part 1: Exposure.

That "ban the box" bill before the Baltimore City Council is classic feel-good legislation, based on instinct rather than evidence that it will make a difference. I doubt "ban the box" will achieve much. The proposal — which would prohibit employers from asking job applicants about criminal histories with a check-off box on a job application — might even make matters worse for the many paroled criminals who seek a job in Baltimore and a second chance in life.
Instead of lining up to support "ban the box" while ticking off numerous employers across the city, the mayor and council ought to be talking to businesses about hiring ex-offenders, one man or one woman at a time.

|Look up Ahmad or Ahmed in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
|Ahmed and Ahmed
|/ˈɑːmæd/, or
Arabic: [ˈ(ʔ)æħmæd].
Turkish: [ˈahmet].
Persian: [ˈ(ʔ)æhmæd].
Urdu: [ˈɛɦməd̪].
|Highly praised
|Other names
|Variant form(s)
|Achmad, Achmat, Achmed, Achmet, Ahmat, Ahmet, Ahmadu, Amadou
Ahmad, Ahmed or Ahmet are the principal transliterations of an Arabic given name, Arabic: أحمد ʾaḥmad.
Ahmad comes from the Arabic triconsonantal root of Ḥ-M-D, meaning "highly praised", which in turn implies "one who constantly thanks God." Several Arabic names are derived from this root word.
The name Ahmad has its origins in a prophecy attributed to Jesus, in the Quran in Surah 61: As-Saff (The Ranks).
Other Arabic names from the same root include Mahmud, Ahmed, Hamed, Muhammad and Hamid. The name has one of the highest number of spelling variations in the world.[1]
Interpretations and meanings of Ahmad[edit]
Variance in translation[edit]
Variance in translation of the Quran from Arabic to English is evidenced by the insertion of words within brackets and / or parenthesis, showing the translator's understanding or motivation. As with any religious text, regardless of language it is written in, there are interpretations which are literal, esoteric, mystical, spiritual, etc.
Questions to ask in deriving the contextual meaning of the name / word Ahmad in Surat Isaf verse six:
- why the use of a proper name ( Ahmad ) in some translations and the meaning of the word ( highly praised ) in others?
- why the mention of the idea of "magic" or "sorcery" when speaking of the coming 'Messenger Ahmad?'
- if the passage speaks to Muhammad being Ahmad, why isn't the name Muhammad written in place of the name Ahmad?
- if / when Ahmad did arrive, what caused some people to respond with suspicions of sorcery / magic / disbelief?
Ahmad passage[edit]
Here are several translations of the passage in question in Surat As-Saf, verse 6:
Sahih International:
"And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."
"And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic."
Yusuf Ali:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"
"And when Isa son of Marium said: O children of Israel! surely I am the messenger of Allah to you, verifying that which is before me of the Taurat and giving the good news of an Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad, but when he came to them with clear arguments they said: This is clear magic."
Muhammad Sarwar:
"Jesus, son of Mary, said to the Israelites, "I am the Messenger of God sent to you. I confirm the Torah which is in existence and give you the glad news of the coming of a Messenger who will come after me named Ahmad." When this Messenger came to them with all the proofs (to support his truthfulness), they said, "He is simply a magician."
Mohsin Khan:
"And (remember) when 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you confirming the Taurat [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed . But when he (Ahmed i.e. Muhammad SAW) came to them with clear proofs, they said: "This is plain magic."
"And when Jesus son of Mary said, 'Children of Israel, I am indeed the Messenger of God to you, confirming the Torah that is before me, and giving good tidings of a Messenger who shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.' Then, when he brought them the clear signs, they said, 'This is a manifest sorcery.'"[2]
- Surat Isaf verse 6
Testimony of Jesus[edit]
To search what Yeshua Christ taught regarding 'who' would come after Him, a study of those sources is necessary.
Regarding the promise Yeshua / Isa / Jesus made to His followers in the Gospel as to 'who' would come after Him:
15 "If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."[3]
- John 14: 15-18
Prior to ascending to heaven, Yeshua mentions once again the promise and power from on high:
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.[4]
- Luke 24: 45-53
Here is the overlap of the same message mentioning more specifically what the gift / promise is:
3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.[5]
- Acts 1: 3
What may have been considered "magic" or unbelievable was most likely the Holy Spirit poured onto the believers on the Day of Pentecost.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.[6]
11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs — we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?" [7]
- Acts 2: 11-12
Another reference regarding the 'magic / sorcery' mentioned in Suraf Isaf:
9 Now for some time a man named Simon Magus had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,... 11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. 12 But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the Name of Yeshua Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw...
17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money 19 and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
20 Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God."[8]
- Acts 8: 9, 11-13, 17-21
Ahmad is the most elementary transliteration. It is used commonly all over the Muslim world, although primarily in the Middle East. More recently, this transliteration has become increasing popular in the United States due to use by members of the African American community.
Ahmed is the most common variant transliteration, used especially in the context of the Ottoman Empire. This transliteration is also used throughout the Muslim world.
Ahmet is the modern Turkish transliteration. Modern Turkish uses a Latin-based alphabet, and most Arabic-derived names have standardized Turkish spellings.
The less common transliterations of Ahmad are used by Muslims outside the Middle East proper, such as in Indonesia and Russia.

Loving the renders. This is indeed a fabulous addition!
Really nice renders. This is probably the most versatile and coolest clothing item EVER!! So much fun to play with!!!!!
It makes nice normal clothing, in addition to the cool Superhero, Fantasy, SciFi, Troopers, etc.
All of the next 4 are designs I created, using the suit and the various shaders for it
This one is MyLin for V4 texture & PH Classic Hair
Post Count - just add 6775 to what it says here
Coordinator & updater for KCTC Freebies *Remembering France*

But don't discount the Superheros. Here's one I created
One more style/color selection I created, GoldMan, just because it's too much fun!!
Just wanted to say thanks Daz! FANTASTIC product, wow, this one suit has so many options and choices, you can get lost just trying to decide what to do! I'd like to say thanks to all the artists who put so much into developing this, the shaders are amazing, even without special lighting they render beautifully! Love it! Just wanted to say that I personally had no trouble adding it to cart, purchasing (used card, not paypal) - installing and using this product Thanks again! Cathy
I see heels… so were all the issues with the "pump" option ironed out then or is what I'm seeing is separate pair of heels with the same shader applied to make it match?
Great release folks.
Randal, you did mention on the old site that you were planning on releasing some classic DC type of freebies or has that changed now?

Give the briefs a try, also look for the separately sold supersuit belt, boots and cape new from the platinum club.
Give the briefs a try, also look for the separately sold supersuit belt, boots and cape new from the platinum club.
Cool, I'll be watching for them; if they're even half as well-done as the supersuit, I'll be thrilled.
Speaking of the supersuit, in the original sneak peek thread you said you'd be supplying your superhero settings, is this still a go?
As well, I remember a shot of a Green Lantern styled character flying with a green glow around him, is the glow option something we already have, of another product?
Thanks for a great product,
Walt Sterdan
the renders are fabulous! such an exciting new product! How I'd love an enthusiastic fan to release a texture set to do The Phantom *grin* or Wonder Woman. :D :D
Errors with supersuit - Can't open files saved with Fur presets with M5 or V5
I did a scene with the barbarian preset. saved. when I tried to open the scene
I got "an error occured while reading the file"
The log file said-
"Opening file Furlighting.daz…
Error setting pointers while reading file C:/Users/Daniel/Documents/Daniel Work/Daz 4 Fun/LIGHTING Tests/Furlighting.daz : C Exception: Memory Access Violation - Attempted to read memory at address 0x00000000
File read time: 0 min 6.2 sec."
Got the same problem with the sorcery preset. Tried some other random suits - no problems.
It also happened several times with the fur suits. Tried restarting and resaving etc.
It looks like the fur is having some problems saving and openeing.
Anyone else able to save a scene with barbarian or sorcery preset and then open it?
using Win 7 64 I7 with 16gigs of ram
My DeviantArt Gallery http://namrettek.deviantart.com/
one other thing about super suit materials - is there a way to access the materials - fur, metal, etc?
or can one only do that with the presets?
I wanted to see if it was the fur that was causing files to be corrupt files or the presets.
I did test a couple of other fur presets and I could not open them either.
Here is a render of the Supersuit fantasy paladin.
If I want to be a fool then I will be a fool! That is my God given right as an American!
If I want to be a fool then I will be a fool! That is my God given right as an American!

I humbly request that Daz_Rand please release his super heroic textures including that underdog.
Outstanding work ladies and gentlemen.
I've succumbed and bought it!!! After seeing all these great renders my will power crumbled. Off to play.

Cables manufactured with ceramic ferrules are ideal for mission-critical applications or connections that are changed frequently. These cables are high quality and typically have a very long life. Ceramic ferrules... more/see it noware more precisely molded and fit closer to the fiber than their composite counterparts, which gives them a lower optical loss.
On the other hand, cables with composite ferrules are ideal for less critical applications or connections that won't be changed frequently. Composite ferrule cables are characterized by low loss, good quality, and long life. collapse
There are different categories of graded-index multimode fiber optic cable. The ISO/IEC 11801 Ed 2.1:2009 standard specifies categories OM1, OM2, and OM3. The TIA/EIA recognizes OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4.... more/see it nowThe TIA/EIA ratified OM4 in August 2009 (TIA/EIA 492-AAAD). The IEEE ratified OM4 (802.ba) in June 2010.
OM1 specifies 62.5-micron cable and OM2 specifies 50-micron cable. These are commonly used in premises applications supporting Ethernet rates of 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps. They are also typically used with LED transmitters. OM1 and OM2 cable are not suitable though for today's higher-speed networks.
OM3 and OM4 are both laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) and were developed to accommodate faster networks such as 10, 40, and 100 Gbps. Both are designed for use with 850-nm VCSELS (vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers) and have aqua sheaths.
OM3 specifies an 850-nm laser-optimized 50-micron cable with a effective modal bandwidth (EMB) of 2000 MHz/km. It can support 10-Gbps link distances up to 300 meters. OM4 specifies a high-bandwidth 850-nm laser-optimized 50-micron cable an effective modal bandwidth of 4700 MHz/km. It can support 10-Gbps link distances of 550 meters. 100-Gbps distances are 100 meters and 150 meters, respectively. Both rival single-mode fiber in performance while being significantly less expensive to implement.
OM1 and 2 are made with a different process than OM3 and 4. Non-laser-optimized fiber cable is made with a small defect in the core, called an index depression. LED light sources are commonly used with these cables.
OM3 and 4 are manufactured without the center defect. As networks migrated to higher speeds, VCSELS became more commonly used rather than LEDs, which have a maximum modulation rate of 622 Mbps. Because of that, LEDs can't be turned on and off fast enough to support higher-speed applications. VCSELS provided the speed, but unfortunately when used with older OM1 and 2 cables, required mode-conditioning launch cables. Thus manufacturers changed the production process to eliminate the center defect and enable OM3 and OM4 cables to be used directly with the VCSELS.

Multimode vs. single-mode
Multimode cable has a large-diameter core and multiple pathways of light. It is most commonly available in two core sizes: 50-micron and 62.5-micron.
Multimode fiber optic cable can... more/see it nowbe used for most general data and voice fiber applications such as adding segments to an existing network, and in smaller applications such as alarm systems and bringing fiber to the desktop. Both multimode cable cores use either LED or laser light sources.
Multimode 50-micron cable is recommended for premise applications?(backbone, horizontal, and intrabuilding connections). It should be considered for any new construction and for installations because it provides longer link lengths and/or higher speeds, particularly in the 850-nm wavelength, than 62.5-micron cable does.
Multimode cable commonly has an orange or aqua jacket; single-mode has yellow. Other colors are available for various applications and for identification purposes.
Single-mode cable has a small (8–10-micron) glass core and only one pathway of light. With only a single wavelength of light passing through its core, single-mode cable realigns the light toward the center of the core instead of simply bouncing it off the edge of the core as multimode does.
Single-mode cable provides 50 times more distance than multimode cable does. Consequently, single-mode cable is typically used in high-bandwidth applications and in long-haul network connections spread out over extended areas, including cable television and campus backbone applications. Telcos use it for connections between switching offices. Single-mode cable also provides higher bandwidth, so you can use a pair of single-mode fiber strands full-duplex at more than twice the throughput of multimode fiber.
Fiber optic cable consists of a core, cladding, coating, buffer strengthening fibers, and cable jacket.
The core is the physical medium that transports optical data signals from an attached light source to a receiving device. It is a single continuous strand of glass or plastic that's measured (in microns) by the size of its outer diameter.
All fiber optic cable is sized according to its core's outer diameter. The two multimode sizes most commonly available are 50 and 62.5 microns. Single-mode cores are generally less than 9 microns.
The cladding is a thin layer that surrounds the fiber core and serves as a boundary that contains the light waves and causes the refraction, enabling data to travel throughout the length of the fiber segment.
The coating is a layer of plastic that surrounds the core and cladding to reinforce the fiber core, help absorb shocks, and provide extra protection against excessive cable bends. These coatings are measured in microns (µ); the coating is 250µ and the buffer is 900µ.
Strengthening fibers help protect the core against crushing forces and excessive tension during installation. This material is generally Kevlar® yarn strands within the cable jacket.
The cable jacket is the outer layer of any cable. Most fiber optic cables have an orange jacket, although some types can have black, yellow, aqua or other color jackets. Various colors can be used to designate different applications within a network.
Simplex vs. duplex patch cables
Multimode and single-mode patch cables can be simplex or duplex.
Simplex has one fiber, while duplex zipcord has two fibers joined with a thin web. Simplex (also known as single strand) and duplex zipcord cables are tight-buffered and jacketed, with Kevlar strength members.
Because simplex fiber optic cable consists of only one fiber link, you should use it for applications that only require one-way data transfer. For instance, an interstate trucking scale that sends the weight of the truck to a monitoring station or an oil line monitor that sends data about oil flow to a central location.
Use duplex multimode or single-mode fiber optic cable for applications that require simultaneous, bidirectional data transfer. Workstations, fiber switches and servers, Ethernet switches, backbone ports, and similar hardware require duplex cable.
PVC (riser) vs. plenum-rated
PVC cable (also called riser-rated cable even though not all PVC cable is riser-rated) features an outer polyvinyl chloride jacket that gives off toxic fumes when it burns. It can be used for horizontal and vertical runs, but only if the building features a contained ventilation system. Plenum can replace PVC, but PVC cannot be used in plenum spaces.
"Riser-rated" means that the jacket is fire-resistant. However, it can still give off noxious fumes when overheated. The cable carries an OFNR rating and is not for use in plenums.
Plenum-jacketed cables have FEP, such as Teflon®, which emits less toxic fumes when it burns. A plenum is a space within the building designed for the movement of environmental air. In most office buildings, the space above the ceiling is used for the HVAC air return. If cable goes through that space, it must be "plenum-rated."
Distribution-style vs. breakout-style
Distribution-style cables have several tight-buffered fibers bundled under the same jacket with Kevlar or fiberglass rod reinforcement. These cables are small in size and are typically used within a building for short, dry conduit runs, in either riser or plenum applications. The fibers can be directly terminated, but because the fibers are not individually reinforced, these cables need to be terminated inside a patch panel, junction box, fiber enclosure, or cabinet.
Breakout-style cables are made of several simplex cables bundled together, making a strong design that is larger than distribution cables. Breakout cables are suitable for riser and plenum applications.
Loose-tube vs. tight-buffered
Both loose-tube and tight-buffered cables contain some type of strengthening member, such as aramid yarn, stainless steel wire strands, or even gel-filled sleeves. But each is designed for very different environments.
Loose-tube cable is specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments. It protects the fiber core, cladding, and coating by enclosing everything within semi-rigid protective sleeves or tubes. Many loose-tube cables also have a water-resistant gel that surrounds the fibers. This gel helps protect them from moisture, so the cables are great for harsh, high-humidity environments where water or condensation can be a problem. The gel-filled tubes can also expand and contract with temperature changes. Gel-filled loose-tube cable is not the best choice for indoor applications.
Tight-buffered cable, in contrast, is optimized for indoor applications. Because it's sturdier than loose-tube cable, it's best suited for moderate-length LAN/WAN connections, or long indoor runs. It's easier to install as well, because there's no messy gel to clean up and it doesn't require a fan-out kit for splicing or termination.
Indoor/outdoor cable
Indoor/outdoor cable uses dry-block technology to seal ruptures against moisture seepage and gel-filled buffer tubes to halt moisture migration. Comprised of a ripcord, core binder, a flame-retardant layer, overcoat, aramid yarn, and an outer jacket, it is designed for aerial, duct, tray, and riser applications.
Interlocking armored cable
This fiber cable is jacketed in aluminum interlocking armor so it can be run just about anywhere in a building. Ideal for harsh environments, it is rugged and rodent resistant. No conduit is needed, so it's a labor- and money-saving alternative to using innerducts for fiber cable runs.
Outside-plant cable is used in direct burials. It delivers optimum performance in extreme conditions and is terminated within 50 feet of a building entrance. It blocks water and is rodent-resistant.
Interlocking armored cable is lightweight and flexible but also extraordinarily strong. It is ideal for out-of-the-way premise links.
Laser-optimized 10-Gigabit cable
Laser-optimized multimode fiber cable assemblies differ from standard multimode cable assemblies because they have graded refractive index profile fiber optic cable in each assembly. This means that the refractive index of the core glass decreases toward the outer cladding, so the paths of light towards the outer edge of the fiber travel quicker than the other paths. This increase in speed equalizes the travel time for both short and long light paths, ensuring accurate information transmission and receipt over much greater distances, up to 300 meters at 10 Gbps.
Laser-optimized multimode fiber cable is ideal for premise networking applications that include long distances. It is usually aqua colored.
Fiber optic cable not only gives you immunity to interference and greater signal security, but it's also constructed to insulate the fiber's core from the stress associated with use in... more/see it nowharsh environments.
The core is a very delicate channel that's used to transport data signals from an optical transmitter to an optical receiver. To help reinforce the core, absorb shock, and provide extra protection against cable bends, fiber cable contains a coating of acrylate plastic.
In an environment free from the stress of external forces such as temperature, bends, and splices, fiber optic cable can transmit light pulses with minimal attenuation. And although there will always be some attenuation from external forces and other conditions, there are two methods of cable construction to help isolate the core: loose-tube and tight-buffer construction.
In a loose-tube construction, the fiber core literally floats within a plastic gel-filled sleeve. Surrounded by this protective layer, the core is insulated from temperature extremes, as well as from damaging external forces such as cutting and crushing.
In a tight-core construction, the plastic extrusion method is used to apply a protective coating directly over the fiber coating. This helps the cable withstand even greater crushing forces. But while the tight-buffer design offers greater protection from core breakage, it's more susceptible to stress from temperature variations. Conversely, while it's more flexible than loose-tube cable, the tight-buffer design offers less protection from sharp bends or twists. collapse

So far, it's been a little odd to read defenses of the bill—passed by the Virginia House of Delegates last week—to require "trans-vaginal ultrasounds" for women seeking abortions. Supporters conscious of public opinion argue that it is strictly a means to provide information and guarantee the safety of the mother. "The only way that they can determine the age of the fetus at an early age is by performing a trans-vaginal ultrasound," said Delegate Kathy J. Byron, the Republican lawmaker who sponsored the House version of the legislation.
This, of course, isn't the point. Whether or not a trans-vaginal ultrasound is medically necessary is separate from the fact that this is an involuntary procedure, forced by the state, and performed for political reasons. The issue here is consent, and the simple fact is that the state should not be allowed to stick something inside your body for the sake of preventing a legal and legitimate medical procedure. This doesn't come as a big surprise, but it's been the most right-wing members of the Virginia legislature who have been honest about their intentions:
Delegate Bob Marshall, a Republican who plans to vote for the bill, contends that the argument does not ring true because the abortion itself is far more invasive.
"The intrusion is already taking place," he said.
In other words, once you've been penetrated, you are fair game for anyone who comes along, including the government.
The good news is that Virginians aren't nearly this extreme; according to a recent poll by Christopher Newport University and the Richmond Times Dispatch, 55 percent of Virginians say they oppose the measure, while 36 percent support it. The bad news, unfortunately, is that this bill still stands a fair chance of passing.

It is absurd to even suggest that this proposed law has anything to do with the health and safety of the mother. For very good reasons best medical practice is not a matter of state law. Doctors decide a million times a day what procedures are necessary for their patients. And medical practice changes constantly as new medicine, technology, and procedures are developed and more information is gathered about standard practices. Even if Virginia lawmakers were all the best doctors in the country, laws could hardly keep up with changes.
Is it just by accident that the Virginia Legislature is suddenly desirous to legislate best medical practice for abortions? Perhaps next week they will suddenly decide to legislate blood tests before gall bladder surgery?
The sole purpose of the trans-vaginal ultrasound is to make abortions even more unpleasant than they already are, and hence to discourage them.

The former NCAA wrestling champion has traveled around the world three times to compete in his chosen sport, and he has many medals and trophies as proof of his many successes.
Bono will wrestle in the Pan Am Games Sunday with a potential U.S. Olympic Team berth on the line.
The 2008 Pan Am Games, held in Colorado Springs, Colo., will serve as a qualifier for the 2008 Olympic Games, held in August in Beijing, China.
Bono will represent the United States in the 145.5 pound freestyle class (66 kg) and is set to face one of Cuba's top wrestlers in his opening match.
A four-time U.S. National champion, Bono competed in the 2002 Pan Am Games, bringing home a bronze medal. He placed third at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials and served as a team alternate.
"It is truly an honor to represent and compete for your country," Bono says. "But I will not be satisfied unless I win an Olympic Gold Medal. That is my goal. Making the team would be great, but I am going through this process with the Gold Medal as my goal."
Bono has already qualified for the Olympic Trails. He will compete again in April at the U.S. Open, and with a title there, he would need two wins at the Trials to become a U.S. Olympian.
Former Mocs head coach Terry Brands was an Olympic Gold Medalist, and is now a coach at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
In just his second year as a head coach, Bono has had nearly as much success, relatively speaking, with the Chattanooga program.
Just last week, his Mocs won the Southern Conference regular-season title for the second time under Bono. His team will be heavily favored to win the SoCon Championships on March 8, held on the UTC campus.
Last year, Bono qualified nine Mocs wrestlers to compete at the NCAA Championships, tying Minnesota with the most of any school in the nation. He coached one All-America, Matt Keller, who also earned the honor in 2006.
The Iowa State graduate is adamant when he says that his competition will never get in the way of his coaching. The Pan Am Games just happened to fall on the weekend between Chattanooga's final regular-season dual and the SoCon Championships.
He also says this his active wrestling training regimen stimulates his recruiting efforts and opens doors for the program to some of the nation's top prep wrestlers.
"A lot of these kids want to wrestle for their country and wrestling internationally," he says. "They see that I can do it, and they see that my assistant (Nate Gallick) is doing it. And we are successful. It is certainly a positive that we take advantage of in our recruiting efforts."
The wrestling portion of the Pan Am Games began Friday and concludes Sunday. The Games also include Greco-Roman and Women's Freestyle.

If Nairobi's prostitutes and the zones where they ply their trade were a secret, then it would probably qualify as Kenya's worst kept secret.
Like hawkers, the prostitutes have a cat-and-mouse relationship with the authorities, with law enforcement officers swooping on them now and again.
But this does not stop the trade from flourishing and the retailers making a living out of it.
Unlike hawkers, though, the prostitutes have not had their issues addressed like having special markets built for them, or as then Local Government minister Karisa Maitha did in 2003, allocated them space in the city's backstreets.
Now imagine for a moment if the City Council of Nairobi was to add to the Sh3 million it collects every day through parking tickets the proceeds from the rent or taxes these women would pay for the zones they operate in.
Well, according to Nairobi Mayor George Aladwa, something along these lines could be in the offing in the foreseeable future if the city council takes a closer look at its by-laws and Kenya's laws on prostitution.
Speaking at a meeting with non-governmental organisations at City Hall on Saturday, Mr Aladwa said the council would want the public to decide on the matter after the by-laws are studied thoroughly.
The mayor said the council would order its askaris, known for the zeal with which they go about their job, to stop harassing prostitutes, who are referred to as commercial sex workers by NGOs.
"Wengi wa wananchi wa Nairobi hawajui sheria ambazo ziko katika baraza kwa hivyo tumekubaliana na wale wanaofanya biashara hiyo, wanaume na wanawake kwa sababu wako kwa hivyo vikundi viwili kwamba watajengewa mahali ambapo wanaweza fanya biashara hiyo, (A lot of Nairobians do not know the city's by-laws.
"We have therefore agreed that those who run that business, both men and women, because we know the trade is across the genders, that we will have a special place allocated for them where they can go about their business)," said Mr Aladwa.
According to the mayor, the prostitutes have in the past complained of harassment and abuse by clients, some of whom approach them in groups of three and bundle them into vehicles.
He said most cases of abuse had been reported by those who operate at the end of Koinange Street, in the vicinity of the Holy Family Minor Basilica and next to Teleposta Towers.
The mayor said the council would offer security to the prostitutes once the laws are harmonised.
Koinange Street has long been associated with prostitution in Nairobi, with the twilight girls taking it over at night when the offices and banks located there have closed for the day and the clubs opened for the night revellers.
Kenyan law is, however, explicit that prostitution is illegal, with Articles 151 to 156 of the Penal Code dedicated to prohibiting the practice in the various ways in which it would manifest itself.
For example, Article 153 provides for the manner in which a man would be found to be in breach of the law if he "knowingly lives wholly or in part on the earnings of prostitution" or "persistently solicits or importunes for immoral purposes" in a public place.
A man would also be guilty of a misdemeanor if he was to "live or to be habitually in the company of a prostitute or is proved to have exercised control, direction or influence over the movements of a prostitute in such a manner as to show that he is aiding, abetting or compelling prostitution."
The law similarly bars women from living on the proceeds of prostitution or controlling another woman for the same purpose.
It is also illegal to own, rent or manage a building that is used as a brothel. Last week, 26 women were arrested for the offence in Parklands and Westlands.
If the City Council fulfils its mayor's agreement with the NGOs, it will join the league of cities in the Netherlands, where prostitution and the operation of brothels is legal and has been regulated since the year 2000.
Nairobi could even have its own version of De Wallen, the largest red-light district in Amsterdam which is an attraction for tourists seeking sex.
There have been concerns there that this tourism is also attracting criminal activity.

Lodge was a good size but a bit tired looking considering it was refurbished last year. We also has a bit of an ant problem which the park knew about as there were ant traps everywhere in the lodge!
A bit of warning about this would have been useful as we have a crawling 1yo who could have put the trap complete with poison in her mouth! This is the reason why my overall rating is so low.
Swimming pool is fantastic for young children. Croyde beach is beautiful and the village was nice for a stroll and lunch
Fantastic holiday! One of the best holiday parks for location we have been to!
A group of us have been coming for a weekend every year fur the last 16 years. Never disappoints, ever!
We had a lovely week at Ruda, this was our second visit and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic location, lovely view and brilliant site. Can't wait to go again!
fantastic holiday wonderful setting beautiful beach great swimming pool
very friendly and helpful staff
loved the entertainment first class
Caravan super clean and lovely lay out
Great fish and chip shop on site
loved this holiday
Had a great time. Love the breakfast cafe.
Lovely location great to be able to walk to the beach & into town.
Kids loved it, beach sandy & safe, rockpools either end of the bay, play parks on site.
Regarding value for money due to only being able to go in school holidays you always pay more for the same location out of term time i would say its great value.
Fantastic family holiday. Well looked after site with great facilities. Cascades pool brilliant for kids of all ages. Definitely want to go back!
Wonderful holiday and a fantastic apartment right on the beach!
Lovely location. Clean and very well equipped caravan. Helpful staff. Prompt housekeeping service. We will definitely be back again, despite the weather!
brilliant holiday thankyou
Stayed with my husband and our four children aged 10 months, 2.5 years, 11 years and 14 years in a sea side apartment, fantastic location close to beach, stayed in 1st floor apartment with small balcony which had stunning views towards Baggy point and the beach, with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Lounge/dining area was very spacious, kitchen was small but plenty big enough for the amount of time I wished to spend in it on holiday! Sea side apartments own indoor pool, patio and barbecue area was fantastic which we used most days.
Croyde is a beautiful village just 10 minutes walk away with lovely shops and eateries and all the people we met were very pleasant.
On Ruda site there are two lovely clean play areas one with large grass area and obstacle course so if you want to get away from the beach for a bit you can escape to one of these.
We are also keen campers and checked out the camping facilities while there and they look excellent so will definately be taking the tent sometime.
1/ Walk to Baggy point, mile each way, just right for little ones but will need to hold on to them in some narrow places, not for people who are afraid of heights as my friend who was clinging to the side reminded me!
2/ The Thatch, in the village of Croyde, very busy when we got there at 7.30pm but had not booked so completely our fault, went with friends so 10 of us in total, nice Australian waiter said we will sort you out in 30 mins and within 20 we were sat down and ordering, very welcoming and with lots of children made us feel at home, there were also quiet areas in the pub to eat if you were a couple wanting a romantic meal! Food came out quick and wasn't disappointed, good sized portions and very tasty, handy when I was sharing with my 10 month old daughter, Definitely visit again!
3/ Lots of activity centres/surf shops for surf lessons, coasteering etc all around the area, all staff very helpful and informative, well done to you all.
4/ For those travelling from the north, Wibbleball Lake on Exmoor a real treat, lovely area to stop and take a break before getting back on motorway, with bike paths, play area and stunning views all around and from the dam.
I was a bit disappointed with the swimming pool and the overall look of the park. It appeared outdated and the swimming pool could do with a bit of renovation work (especially the stairs to the flume).
I was very happy with the location and the mobile-home. They were very clean and very well-equipped. I was also very impressed with the night entertainment provided, especially for the kids.
Great caravan . Great swimming but not much to do on a cold day . Great beach and location. Definitely stay here again .
A lovely park in a lovely location. We have already re booked for our summer holiday

Q:How is this bar shipped to avoid melting? Does it come in a tin?Asked on 11/9/2014 by Mamablev
1 answer
A:Like all of our products, our Tiny Hands hand lotion bar is shipped with great care. We, however, cannot guarantee that products with a butter base will not melt if shipped to a hot climate. We have labelled items we feel might melt with a little M on the product pages on our website. We also sell tins that help maintain the product. Each tin is $3.95 and we are happy to ship meltable items inside upon request.Answered on 11/12/2014 by Rene
Q:How long of a 'shelf life' does it have?Asked on 10/27/2014 by Katherine

Q:How should this be stored? Will it melt if I put it in a baggie in my purse for on-the-go use?Asked on 2/26/2012 by Kamanjah from Calaveras County, CA
5 answers
A:You probably should not put this product in your purse as it might melt or get squished. Place it on your night-stand for evening use.Answered on 6/21/2012 by Newlywed from Boise, ID
A:I have mine in a little tin that Lush sells. Unlike other Lush solid bars, it takes a lot to melt this one - I think it would be fine in a baggie in a purse, it just might crumble if it gets bumped around.Answered on 3/2/2012 by Hikermc from Portland, OR
A:If the temperature in your purse gets warmer than body temperature, this bar will melt. You may want to tuck it in a body butter tin inside a sealed bag if you'd like to store it in a purse or near fabric.Answered on 2/27/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:Try using a yellow LUSH bag, but not a plastic bag because it will retain hot air and melt it, but the LUSH bag is some sort of papery substance and doesn't close off so it will let air circulate. Unless of course the air temperature where you live is hot enough to melt it on its own, in which case I would recommend not carrying it in your purse at all.Answered on 4/4/2012 by Tarik from Baltimore, MD
A:I use one of the body butter tins to keep it in! I carry it around in my purse and it's fine. Just don't leave it in the car if it's hot out!Answered on 4/15/2012 by Moonbeam Sparkle from Atlanta, GA

The Liberian Media for Democratic Initiatives (LMDI) and the Dakar Senegal based Pan-African Foundation, TRUST AFRICA have signed a one-year grant agreement aimed at educating the citizenry of Liberia on the rationale of the ongoing 2030 National Visioning Exercise and to foster citizens engagement, participation and feedback.
Even though the agreement was not made known, but TRUST AFRICA will provide support to the LMDI to conduct public education and engagement through the LMDI's media and community outreach platforms to engender National and Community level participation.
LMDI's Director John Kollie said Trust Africa support will enable his entity to facilitate broad, open and participatory discussions around the National Visioning activities within the public sphere.
"Trust Africa gives high priority to the realization of equal opportunity to all members of society; accordingly, it is Trust Africa's expectation that in carrying out this grant, the LMDI will take appropriate steps to include women and disadvantaged groups in carrying out the activities under this grant", Akwasi Aidoo, Executive Director of Trust Africa said.
John Kollie narrated that his organization will use its media and community outreach blended outdoor interactive public forum THE DIALOGUE, rural community magazine radio program, "WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY" and children and youth platform, "TOMORROW'S PEOPLE" to engender the required open dialogue around Liberia's 2030 National Visioning process.

Oh good, Becuase I've been rambling on about anything in my blog for the last 4 days now.
Blogagotchi can be used for ANYTHING! The idea started as a tamagotchi log idea but it enables us to do a lot more now... I'm not going to restrict anything (well as long as it isn't bad/illegal).

Great website,Admin!
Hello TamaTalkers!
I am really excited to announce something today... A long time ago (well last summer) we had a number of requests for a better system of providing Tamagotchi Logs in which others could not make posts in somebody's log... The search for a solution ended up spawning a side project that still fits the need but is a lot different from where the original request led me.
The side project has been on and off again over the past 10 months and I think is now ready for a preview for TamaTalkers... So what is the project? A new site called Blogagotchi. This ia a blog site in which anyone can get a free account to open their own blog (or more than one blog if you want). It fits the bill for Tamagotchi logs perfectly in that the person can enter their own info and choose if others can comment on it or not. It also ends up being a lot more flexible in that you can do a lot of other things too including changing the whole look to fit what you want/need. We have permission from Bandai to create some themes using Tamagotchis on them for those who want to really create a look for their page. Those are coming soon...
We also took the Tamagotchi pet idea into it and have a little pet (called a Blogagotchi) that sits on the top to let you know if your page has been "fed" recently or not. Not updating the page? The blogagotchi gets sad, angry, sleeps or eventually dies... The logic behind the pets will evolve a lot more in the near future... But for now it depends on when you last fed it. There are still a few rough edges that need finishing... But we figured the original idea for this started on TamaTalk and so TamaTalkers should have a first peak at our new sister site before the world starts finding out.
I have started an official TamaTalk blog at Blogagotchi where you can read up on the latest developments and thoughts on how things are going. Some of what is posted there might eventually make it onto TamaTalk... But others might just give you a behind the scenes look.
S check it out... See some of the others who have opened accounts already to get an idea for what a blog is like and think of ways you can do it your own way. I think the two sites together have a lot of potential and we look forward to hearing what you think and seeing what you can do with this new tool.
Interested? Sick of reading my description?
Go to Blogagotchi.com now!
Best Regards,

Good point *nods*
The rules of the site are pretty relaxed, in fact, provided you don't do something criminal or start trying to harrass other people then you can pretty much write as you please. Now step outside the box for a one moment. It is perhaps not unreasonable for Admin to ask that all users be at least 18+ which such freedom of expression is allowed. It would not be unreasonable for Admin to say that until you are legally an adult that you cannot decide to expose yourself to such conditions and partipate in such a site. However, you have all been given the benefit of the doubt in regards to your maturity in regards to handling true freedom of speech and expression. And although you all believe that you are mature enough at whatever age you are, as moderators we have come to learn that this is not the case by the amount of bickering and silly behaviour that occurs on this forum on a day to day basis where expression, posting and language is moderated down to the rediculously PC.
Jappyx, I looked in the terms of service and it didn't mention anything about language x.x'
Posted 21 April 2006 - 02:42 PM ( #38 )
Thanks admin! i understand you a lot more now! anyway, great site!
The reason over 13 was used is the same reason we have the under 13 permission forms to sign up for TamaTalk (all of you under 13 sent one of those in, right?)... We try to keep things friendly here for people of all ages. We aren't going to be moderating nearly as much for a blog site. As mentioned, the rules are a lot more relaxed. I have faith in people not just saying they are over 13 when they really aren't.

Almost four years after a serious allegations of misconduct were made against former Central Scotland Police Assistant Chief Constable John Mauger, the case has been closed.
Mr Mauger was receiving more than £104,000 a year up until last July.
This is despite not working since June 2010 during the investigation.
The cost of keeping Mr Mauger on paid leave and the hefty legal fees are expected to top £1m.

The Duke of Cambridge
The Duke of Cambridge, located in Islington only a few minutes walk from Angel tube station, is the UK's first and only gastropub to be certified by the Soil Association.
It serves delicious organic food and drink, carefully sourced from independent producers, while keeping their environmental impact and food miles low. 80% of their fresh produce comes from the Home Counties, they never airfreight anything.
Their menu is best described as hearty, rustic British food with Mediterranean influences and with two meat, two fish and two vegetarian dishes on the menu every day there is always something to suit everyone.
Their menu changes twice a day and is created according to what is at the peak of its freshness and flavour. Their food is always seasonal so you won't find fresh tomatoes on the menu in the winter or parsnips in the summer, and all food is made at the pub – from the ice cream to the bread and pickles.
Their fish buying policy is approved by the Marine Conservation Society and they buy Marine Stewardship Council certified seafood where possible. Like the SEALIFE London Aquarium they have signed up to the Sustainable Fish City pledge.
Produce comes from small, independent, local farmers with the highest standards of animal welfare and the chefs ensure that nothing goes to waste; so for example instead of buying individual cuts of pork (which is costly and wasteful) they buy a whole carcass and use every part of the animal.
They are 'obsessed with having the lowest carbon footprint possible' and therefore reuse and recycle wherever possible and their electricity is wind and solar generated.
