Electrolux hopes to become a leading household appliance brand in China by focusing on a number of key areas and the introduction of a high-end refrigeration platform, according to a China Daily report.
"In these areas, we are going to accelerate, broaden and deepen our presence in terms of cooking and laundry and also in the building part of the market to make the products available to more consumers in these concentrated areas," said Gunilla Nordstrom, head of the company's Asia-Pacific sector and vice-president of AB Electrolux, in the report.
Regarding geographic concentration, the report said that Electrolux will focus on eight core provinces -Heilongjiang, Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Fujian -and four municipalities - Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing.
The report said that Electrolux decided to focus on the eight provinces and four municipalities after conducting a nationwide consumer survey. Commenting on the company's new strategy for China, Nordstrom said, "We prefer somebody somewhere to nobody everywhere."
According to the report, Electrolux plans to introduce products to the Middle Kingdom and develop China-tailored technologies and products as soon as possible. It already has a leading cooking and washing machine product portfolio. It plans to sell to the premium segment in China and will soon launch a new range of colored appliances.
To align its refrigerators in China with the premium strategy, the report noted, Electrolux will exit the low-end refrigerator sector. Production at its Changsha factory, which is reportedly geared toward unprofitable economical products and with an annual production capacity of 500,000 units, will cease by the end of 1Q 2009.

Understanding the vertical growing environment is essential for a successful project and a vertical garden that will thrive for many years to come. Making the right selection of species is — apart from the aesthetic result — also decisive to the plant's life span, their development and to the future demand of maintenance.
Growing plants on a vertical surface without soil is actually more natural than with it, because rarely could soil be found on vertical surfaces in nature. Soilless vertical surfaces however, are abundant, and so are plant species that thrive in such conditions — on rocks and cliff faces or branches and trunks of trees. These plants are called lithophytes (from Greek lithos 'stone' and — phyton, 'plant') and epiphytes (epi, is Greek for 'on'). A soilless surface have characteristics that are important for these plants — for example it provides excellent drainage.
Epiphytic plants are most common in tropical climates where high humidity and frequent rains can support such a growing location. Well known house plants that grow as epiphytes are Asplenium nidus (Bird's nest fern), Platycerum bifurcatum (Staghorn fern), Aeschynanthus radicans (Lipstick plant), and genera from the Araceae family such as Philodendron, Anthurium and Monstera. In our homes these plants are usually grown in pots. But as this easily may cause overwatering they can be seen much more vigorous on a vertical garden that provides drainage as well as regular supply of its needs.
As one approaches an exposed cliff, most of the times lithophytic plants can be found, in almost any part of the world. For example around the mediterranean basin, an area with an unusually diverse flora, the coastal areas and some of the nearby mountain ranges are excellent places to look for these plants as it is easy to find exposed cliffs with shifting growing conditions.
Saxifragaceae is a family of plants often found growing on rocks. It contains genera such as Bergenia originating around the Himalayas, and Heuchera from North America.
Apart from aesthetic preferences and the plants ability to grow in a soilless, vertical location; the selection of plants is based on several factors, for example: What is the local climate like (minimum temperature especially important to know)? How much sun exposure is each area of the surface receiving and how does it change during the year? Is there any particular micro climate — such as high buildings creating strong winds along a wall? Understanding the prevailing growing conditions is essential to make the right decision when choosing plants.
Studying plants that occur in the surrounding natural areas is also a great guidance. Although wild growing species are rarely available in nurseries, it still gives a good indication of what related species or plants with similar hardiness that might be used.
To find the right species and quality of plants there are different possibilities. Sometimes local nurseries can be a great source. There, plants that have been grown successfully for years in the region may be found. But as these nurseries often have a limited variety, it is most of the time necessary to combine with other regional or foreign suppliers to have a larger variety of plants available.
Vertical Garden Design collaborates with growers that can provide a great selection of anything from tropical to mediterranean plants or plants suited for colder temperate climates. Rare and hard-to-find species are ordered from specialist growers to add unique character to the garden. The combination of local nurseries, large-scale commercial nurseries and specialist nurseries offers a satisfying solution for most kind of projects.
As growing conditions change widely in exterior locations, so do the plants that may be used for such a garden. With more variation in plant material it also allows for more variation of the design. For example a sun exposed surface in a mediterranean climate can be made of many typical aromatic mediterranean plants, such as Lavandula, Thymus, Rosmarinus or Salvia. On the other hand, a shadowed surface in the same climate can have an almost tropical touch with species from genera like Begonia, Arum, Davallia, Asplenium, and Fuchsia. A vertical garden can be built in virtually any location, except for very cold climates. The key is to chose the right species for the right location.
Indoor climate is naturally very similar all over the world. It is characterized by a temperature of around 20° C, low light intensity and many times — low humidity. As for the temperature and low light, similar growing conditions can be found in the tropics, like under the forest canopy where little light filters through. But those conditions are rarely paired with low humidity, which to some extent limits the plant selection for indoor projects.
Many plants adapted to shady environments grow large leaves in order to assimilate the small amount of light that reaches them. Also they have quite modest flowering, although there are exceptions that can make a great contribution to an interior garden. Typical genera used for interior gardens are aroids like Philodendron and Epipremnum or gesneriads such as Aeschynanthus, Columnea and Saintpaulia, many species of Peperomia and Begonia or different ferns like Nephrolepis and Pteris.
More about plants
Vertical landscapes in nature are an important reference, not only from a botanical point of view, but they can also have great inspirational value. The brief portraits of plants available in the blog, with images from various study trips, focus on the environment and ambiance as much as the characteristics of a plant. Images are continuously published from new and old trips.

Right, so anyway I've been playing brown and I got stuck. I have the red amulet but no idea what to do with it, I think I read that you give it to the safari warden but I have no clue where the safari zone is. Also, where do you get the virus scanner?
Sorry for being repetitive here, you guys have probably heard these questions before.
Wow... I hate irony, as soon as I get fed up and decided to post here for help I figure it out. Though, I still need to know where the safari zone is.

Sylvester McCoy in the Pandorica?
As timey-timey things go this is quite a mashup – what if it hadn't been the Eleventh Doctor who challenged allcomers at Stonehenge in The Pandorica Opens?
What if it had been the Seventh Doctor?
In fairness, there is a certain verisimilitude about that particular incarnation being incarcerated in such a way, given the nature of this strategies against various enemies (Daleks, Cybermen, Fenric), so much so that it is a shame it didn't quite happen like that.
Still, there's nothing to worry about as thanks to an interview at the Dragon*Con event this weekend, Sylvester McCoy can be seen reading the "Hello Stonehenge!" scene from The Pandorica Opens - and for a life reading without any rehearsal you can see just how good a job of it he would have made…
This all came about thanks to the interviewer suggesting that Sylvester would have been served better by more polished scripts. Ultimately, I don't think he did that poorly with the material he was given back in 1987-1989 (certainly not in the last two series) but it is a fascinating exercise nevertheless!
4 Responses to Sylvester McCoy in the Pandorica?
McCoy's definitely the only other Doctor who could pull off that speech apart from Matt Smith.
Sylvester had the ability to be great in the role but WAS let down by many a poor script..
That was cool. Kudos again to Big Finish for giving an inspired Actor portraying an inspired Doctor an opportunity to shine in a way he was rarely given an opportunity to do on television.
Hmm. He's a nice enough fella, but essentially he does the Doctor as a panto character, as he did in the late 80s…and gurning in 96. His was the only time in all my almost 50 years of life when I found the Doctor to be boring and a constant let down every episode. Just my humbel opinion. It's different strokes, I guess…so please dont gang up on me.
I just felt compelled to reply to Zarbisupremo that I couldn't disagree more. Doctor's 2,3,4,5,9,10 could have made that scene memorable too.

A Quiet Little Marriage movie trailer - starring Jimmi Simpson, Cy Carter, Mary Ellis, Charlie Day, Melanie Lynskey, Lucy DeVito. Directed by Mo Perkins. Genre: Drama
Rating: Not Rated
Erin's (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City. But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end. And while Garrett's friends, Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day), joke about his pre-flight calorie cutting and his full-time relationship with his cell phone, they don't like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin's high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corrine (Christina Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road. But despite the opposite coasts, the nay-saying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found something like love, and with the help of a lot of texting, sexting and late-night phone calls, they might actually go the distance.

Unwrap the gifts of tradition from cultures around the globe in this illustrated Christmastime storybook as Daniel discovers what the true meaning of Christmas is all about!
About this Book:
As their world grows larger, young children start reflecting upon their own traditions, while becoming intrigued by diverse cultural practices. This festive Christmas storybook guides children through uncovering the religious meanings behind secular symbols, and the various cultural traditions celebrate the holiday.
Ideal for ages 6-8, children will be drawn to the read aloud-friendly format and the brightly colored, brushstroke illustrations. Teachers, parents, grandparents, librarians, and catechists will find this book an entertainingly educational way to illuminate the faith which celebrates the birth of Jesus in many ways.
The story opens with Christmas fast approaching. Daniel is excited to help Deacon Matthews with a special project in his parish…until he is assigned the boring nativity scene! Deacon Matthews senses Daniel's disappointment, and explains to him that the manger scene is the most important part of Christmas: Christmas represents Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, and without his birth, there would be no reason to celebrate. To encourage Daniel's enthusiasm about the project, he suggests personalizing the nativity scene.<
Daniel becomes inspired by ideas from around the world-from Kenya, Mexico, Japan, Native America, and Australia. Excited by origami crane decorations, Three Kings tribal elders, a glass pickle ornament, kangaroo reindeers, and Christmas piñatas, he comes to the realization that these unique gifts of tradition are all celebrations of the same event: the birth of Jesus Christ! Like Daniel, your child too, will learn how so many unique traditions can exist within a single faith community.
Using his imagination, Daniel creates a nativity scene unlike any other, combining many cultural traditions and adding a touch of his own: a miniature candy cane placed beside Jesus in the cradle. When Deacon Matthews sees the final masterpiece, he is bewildered.
But maybe this time it is Daniel who has something to teach Deacon Matthews about the meaning of Christmas….

Creekside High School volleyball player Hayley Miller isn't doing many things low-key these days.
Months after becoming the first major college commitment from the Knights' program, Miller, a senior libero, was named to the watch list of the AVCA All-America Under Armour team. Miller, who selected Florida International over the summer, was one of just 28 players from Florida named to the list. Only one other player from Northeast Florida -- Bolles OH Gabby Mallette -- was named to the list.

Alden Hokanson, 91, Two Harbors, died Friday, December 16, 2011 in Ecumen Scenic Shores.
He was born June 20, 1920 to Axel and Clara Hokanson in Hinckley, Minnesota. After graduating from Hinckley High School in 1938 he worked on the family farm until enlisting in the Army in 1945. He served in the 77th Infantry Division in the South Pacific until his discharge in May 1946. In 1947 he married the love of his life, Margaret Mallory, and they moved to Two Harbors in 1951. He was employed by the D M & I R Railroad Telephone Company, (later Gopher State and Contel) until retiring in 1983 due to his health.
Alden liked to golf, bowl, curl, hunt, square dance and camp. But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, where he served on the church council, and was chairman of the property committee for many years. He was also a member of American Legion Post #109.
Because Alden resided in a nursing home, visitors were important to him. He gave back more than he knew to the visitors that came, as his eyes lit up with recognition and his special smile appeared. He especially enjoyed visits from his great-granddaughters and loved to talk with them and watch their every move.
Alden was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 64 years, Margaret; daughters, Cindy (Mace) Maher of Two Harbors, Pam (Jim) Jensen of Kellogg, MN and Pat (Gregg) Townsend of Tucson, AZ; five grandchildren, Jeni (Mike) Torgerson of Two Harbors, Tammy (Nate) Higgins of Prior Lake, Annie (Patrick) Shanahan of Buckeye, AZ, Ben Townsend of San Diego, CA, and Steve Townsend of Scottsdale, AZ; nine great-granddaughters, Lita, Brynn, Bree, and Brooke Torgerson, Avari and Rilyn Higgins, Celia, Autumn and Glory Shanahan; two step-grandchildren, Martin (Debbie) Maher and Ann (Howard) Rogotzke; three step-great-grandchildren, Elise and Ben Rogotzke, and Haily Maher; a brother, Gerald of Long Beach, CA, and a sister, Arlene Harth of Hinckley.
Visitation will be from Noon until the 1 PM service on Wednesday December 21, 2011 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Two Harbors. Burial will be in Lakeview Cemetery.

Argentina was finally Argentina. Batista's team won Checho by 3 to 0 to Costa Rica to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa America. Aguero was the scorer of the night and Messi the best player of his team.
Argentina was indebted to his liking. Playing at home, the albiceleste had harvested two draws in two submissions (one scoreless) and needed a win to give him oxygen and the tranquility of being in the quarterfinals. That victory came last night against Costa Rica.
Aguero opened the scoring on the half-time and doubled the beginning of the second. A Di Maria 65 minutes when he decreed the win marked the 3 to 0. Here are the goals and highlights of the match.
Group A already has all their matches and finished with Colombia as group winner with 7 points, Argentina and second with 5 points, with 3 Costa Rica and Bolivia 1.

Developed in the 18th century, Brass Knuckles are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat. Despite their name, they are usually made of steel and concentrate the force of a punch into a smaller contact area, resulting in increased tissue disruption, and the likelihood of fracturing bones on impact.

A Real Sonic Screwdriver?
View Single Post
Doc Orion
Jul21-11, 07:38 AM
I'm gonna give the link to the VCO, then go to bed; it's now 5:00 am so it's past my nappy time.
The VCO circuit can be found here:
The siren ciruit is the one I use in the screwdriver but instead of gating it with a square wave, the circuit is modulated with a sine wave. At pin 9 and the other end to ground I use two large value parts that can be adjusted for personal taste such as 22Meg and 10uF or 15 Meg and 1 uF, etc. These parts determine how fast-- or how slow-- the screwdriver will sweep from one end of the frequency range to another. The frequency cap used is .001 uF so the VCO will work in the near ultrasound. I lost my notes so one will have to pop in resistor values to get it to work no higher than 20 kHz and probably less at 15 kHz upper limit. The screwdriver will however work extremely well at lower audible frequencies producing as much as 143 dB (but we always try for more) of sound, and this will make family & friends hate you as well as upset nearby neighbors so keep the frequencies above 12 kHz-- most humans can't hear that high anyways. But sound of such intensity can cause pain, headaches, and deafness with continued exposure even at ultrasound frequencies.
same as with the first part: the .001 cap on top of the 4046 but the frequncy resistor & cap are mounted in front. The 1K resistor that connects from pin 2 of the XR2206 to pin 9 of the CD4046 is wired below the two ICs on the bottom of the circuit board but make sure the wire is protected with tape or heat shrink tubing so the wires won't short any of the IC pins. That could ruin a lot of nice work very quickly. Still, feel free to experiment with the values; each screwdriver always needs some tweaking for proper operation.

I have a problem with my script, and I can't seem to fix it. So hopefully someone will help me ;)
Right, the script is for my search engine which launches soon.
What it does, is when a user searches for something, I want to log it in a database of all search queries, so I know what people are searching for. So, if the keywords exists, it should add one to the popularity of that keyword, otherwise, if the keyword doesn't exist, it should add a new entry with the keyword, and set the popularity as one.
You see?? Quite simple really.
Ok, so the current code is:
The error I get is "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:/PROGRAMMING/eliter/kwlog.php on line 11".Code:
// if the keyword exists
if ( isset($keyword) ) {
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM keywords WHERE keyword='$keyword' ");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ( $rows == '0' ) {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO keywords SET keywords='$keyword', popularity='1' ");
echo("The new keyword has been added to the database");
} else {
// find the popularity of the keyword
$selectpop = mysql_query("SELECT popularity FROM keywords WHERE keywords='$keyword' ");
while ( $details = mysql_fetch_array($selectpop) ) {
$popularity = $details["popularity"];
// new popularity = old popularity plus one
$newpopularity = $popularity + 1;
mysql_query("UPDATE keywords SET popularity='$newpopularity' WHERE keywords='$keyword' ");
echo ("

The keyword $keyword has been adjusted.

} else {
echo ("

There was an error adding the keyword into the database.
Before I added the part where it checks if the keyword exists, it worked fine, but now it doesn't..
Could someone please help?

New Orleans Saints fans are ready for things to get back to normal or as normal as they can be. That all starts with seeing their players back on the field.
Yesterday marked the one month mark for the Saints preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals in the annual Hall of Fame Game. Last year the game was lost to the fact that the lockout in the NFL prevented it from being properly showcased and players being ready.
Fans of the Saints will be getting a little bonus this year because the team will actually be playing an extra game during preseason because of the HOF contest.
The Saints other preseason games are: August 9-New England Patriots(7:30 p.m. ET), August 17-Jacksonville Jaguars(8:00 p.m.ET), August 25-Houston Texans(8:00 p.m. ET), and August 30-Tennessee Titans(7:00 p.m. ET).
It's well known that usually starters get limited playing time during the games and then the newly drafted and undrafted free agents finish out the rest of the game. This can sometimes lead to empty seats and changed channels by the first few minutes of the third quarter.
I have a feeling though that Who Dats will soak up every morsel they can this season. The chance to see shots of quarterback Drew Brees, even on the sidelines, along with the introduction of the "who are they?" draft picks will keep them glued to the seats and the television.

DIY Play Tent As A Reading Nook
Lawrence Girls
Ever since last year I've been planning to set one full day aside so that I could construct a play tent for my kids. I never got around to gathering the materials and the desire to build a tent subsided until I saw this cozy play tent that serves as a reading nook.
Anna of Lawrence Girls came up with plans for a play tent that cost her only $25 in materials. I love her idea of using curtains as the fabric sides of the tent. The tabs are pre-sewn for hanging. If you want to get all of Anna's step-by-step instructions and see more "during" photos, check out her blog Lawrence Girls. Don't forget to check out our recent post about another DIY A-Frame Tent by Cakies.

Cute, cheap, & easy to make - could it get any better? I'm going to have to make one of these for my boys, although I may have to attach it to the wall so they don't knock it over. =)
This is so cute! would love to make this, but looks like you have to be invited to Anna's blog. Do you maybe have the instructions?
I see your comment is seven months ago, MommyL, but I thought I would still pass this link along in case you haven't found your answer and/or haven't made this yet. This tent is all over pinterest but with basically dead end links! I found her, here it is:
I did not have to sign in or anything like that to view her blog or have privacy issues. hope this helps!

About the Piece
Piano Concerto No. 5, "Emperor"
Last Modified:
Composed: 1809
Length: c. 40 minutes
Orchestration: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings, and solo piano
First Los Angeles Philharmonic performance: December 15, 1922, Walter Henry Rothwell conducting, with pianist Elly Ney
Two significant events occurred in 1809 in Beethoven's life, one of which proved extremely beneficial and the other more of a nuisance than anything else. The first was the gift of an annuity contract to ensure that he would maintain his domicile in Vienna; the second was the bombardment and occupation of the city by French forces from May to July.
Toward the end of 1808, Beethoven was offered the position of Kapellmeister at Kassel. The offer of 3400 florins annually with few obligations other than to practice his art was extremely enticing. The prospect of Beethoven leaving Vienna for a position elsewhere, after his failure to obtain provision for his future necessities in his adopted city, was acknowledged as a potential embarrassment to the Viennese. This situation gave him the opportunity to negotiate a contract to his specifications that was agreed to by the Archduke Rudolph (Beethoven's student) and the two princes Lobkowitz and Kinsky. That Beethoven received what he sought is fully stated in the second paragraph of the agreement: "…only one who is as free from care as possible can devote himself to a single department of activity and create works of magnitude… the undersigned have decided to place Herr Ludwig van Beethoven in a position where the necessaries of life shall not cause him embarrassment or clog his powerful genius." With the strokes of three pens, Beethoven was granted 4000 florins per annum for life. Thus he stayed in Vienna, producing "works of magnitude" up to his death in 1827.
With the bombardment and occupation of Vienna, Beethoven suffered the pecuniary losses resulting from heavy taxes. What was most difficult for Beethoven to endure, however, was his loss of time in the countryside during the months of May through July; this irritation probably prolonged the composition of the Piano Concerto No. 5, which he most likely completed sometime near the end of the summer.
Beethoven had probably finished the bulk of the Concerto before the French invasion. The integration of thematic materials parlayed between the piano and orchestra carries on the symphonic technique that Beethoven had used in the Violin Concerto (1806). In this Piano Concerto, there are no full-blown cadenzas. The first movement does open with a quasi-cadenza of arpeggios and scalar passages in the piano, first following, and then punctuated by sustained chords in the orchestra; this music is part of the structure of the first movement that indeed returns in the recapitulation. Just before the coda, Beethoven gives to the piano what appears to be a cadenza based on thematic materials with the instructions "do not play a cadenza, but quickly attack the following," thus transforming this piano solo into a transitional passage leading to the coda proper.
Written in the distant key of B major, the second movement presents a hymn-like structure played by the orchestra, complemented by descending scalar passages in the piano. The disarming simplicity of this movement recalls the sonority and pacing of a Mozartean adagio. The final passage in the solo piano functions as a transition to the Rondo, whose joyous theme is played first by the piano and later by the orchestra. One could say that this Concerto was written during the best and worst of times for Beethoven, but life triumphs in this last movement.
Composer Steve Lacoste is the Archivist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association.

We're in a grocery store then I turn around for a second and she's gone.
I'm like where the hell did she go:
I run halfway across the store:
And when I finally find her she says "Hi" and continues shopping:
Im almost 20 and this still happens
When I was a kid, this happened all the time!!
Haha, my dad does this like every time.

Hi Friends,
India-Forums.com Development Team are really thrilled with the overwhelming response we have been receiving from our members and the television fraternity on launch of India Forums very own Television News Section - Telly Buzz-- Buzzing with Hot News Always!!
I ponder and wonder that in last 3 years we have come a long way and have grown from strength to strength. TellyBuzz is one more stepping stone towards taking India Forums to great heights!
I would personally like to thank all the members of India Forums and our Development Team from the bottom of my heart for their continuous support in making India Forums the most popular indian discussion forum.
And on personal front everything is going great. I am a just a bit tied up lately with my work at Cyberax and soon we will be getting ISO 9001:2000 Certificate, which got a bit delayed as planned as it requires a lot of documentation work.
I have even started preparing for GMAT (an entrance exam for MBA) and due to work pressure was not able to do it earlier so please wish me luck !!! And yeah all advices and suggestions are always welcome and will be really appreciated.
