Toledo, Ohio's location on the western shore of Lake Erie makes it a great city for power houses, refineries, steel mills, lake steam ship building, rail transportation, and other industries that often use asbestos.
Local 50 of The United Association of Journeyman and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry (UA Local 50) is a trade union serving Northwest Ohio and the Toledo area. UA Local 50 members include retirees and current employees of the industries mentioned above, and all of them have been exposed or are at risk of exposure to asbestos. For this reason, UA Local 50 called on the Meso Foundation for asbestos and prevention education.
Diane Blackburn-Zambetti, Director of Policy and Prevention Education at the Meso Foundation, was invited to participate in the annual UA Local 50 Health Fair on December 5, organized by the union nurse, Pat Kovar, RN. The fair included over 100 active participants, and over 300 union members were present to collect information and ask questions.
"I feel the more a person can learn about the real importance of using protective equipment to decrease exposure and ways to protect loved ones by not spreading asbestos in their environment is truly an important thing," said Pat Kovar. "It is my desire to educate as much as possible and then to encourage the members and their families to follow through on that information."
On behalf of the Meso Foundation, Diane would like to thank Local 50 of The United Association of Journeyman and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry for the opportunity to educate their members on asbestos awareness, exposure prevention, and asbestos-related diseases, and the Meso Foundation looks forward to working with UA Local 50 in 2016 to further develop available materials and education for its membership.
Further information on asbestos and exposure prevention can be found at curemeso.org/asbestos.

Lara Bingle says she has no regrets about posing topless for her latest fashion shoot.
And her fans are lapping it up, taking to social media and thetelegraph.com.au website singing praise since we first published the pictures on Friday.
Appearing in indie magazine Oyster, the beach babe has lifted her fashion credentials in a series of high-end looks.
"I'm really comfortable with my body," Bingle told Confidential from London yesterday. "I've been training and I feel great. I've got a healthy body but it all stems from a healthy mind and a healthy set of goals and achieving them. I am in a really good place."
Bingle's manager George Moskos says she's in the UK as a guest of London Fashion Week, where she'll sit front row for a number of international designers.
It's not the first time Bingle, 26, has posed topless in the name of fashion.
The latest editorial was shot by Sydney photographer Byron Spencer, with Tiana Wallace styling the fashion looks.
"This was an amazing shoot I really loved being a part of. For me, Oyster is a magazine I read because it is fashion forward and cutting edge," Bingle said.
The feedback for the new images has been overwhelming with Bingle getting loads of fan mail on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
"I am past the point of girl crush, I am now willing to admit that I am in love with you," wrote one female fan on Instagram.
"And celebrated fashion designer Toni Maticevski wrote: "In-f…ing-credible. xxxx".

New Zealand is strongly pertained to as a location to participate in an English school. The English language school trainers advise to a very high level and they all should be completely approved to be enabled to manage your lessons. Not only does the country use worldwide exams and training programs, but each thing also ought to be assessed by the country's qualification authorization (NZQA) which inspect that these people will be instructing and assessing you on what you've been told they are.
The New Zealand Certifications Authority is the New Zealand state criterion. An institution holding this is inspected and audited by the NZQA and the specifications are looked at annually. It is also favorable to check if the informative establishment anyone are looking at is allied with a bigger network around the world.
It's a great idea to think about what exactly form of area people are searching for. There are a large variety of learning English language areas accessible, but a few will not be suitable for anyone. The answer is to discover a site that is not just a fantastic institution, but has any kind of link for you. Such might be that it is in the urban area, as then generally there will be less of a culture shock, though the cities in New Zealand are far more quiet than in other nations.
Opt for Auckland English classes that only educates students who are not native speakers as then anyone find out they are background in assisting people exactly like you again and again again. Staffs need to move at the pace of the students and make certain you can stay up to date with the material. When people desire to select a language course in which makes it easy for individuals to develop the standard of English you desire, while giving you the possibility to live in New Zealand's largest sized urban area there are specific factors individuals must take into consideration.

A little more than a week ago, Ted Williams was a homeless panhandler in Columbus, Ohio. Now, he is famous around the world.
A newspaperman's video of Williams standing at an off-ramp begging for money and a chance to use his "God-given gift of voice" ricocheted around the Internet. Millions have seen the video, and Oprah Winfrey and the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team have been among those offering Williams a job.
It is hard to say what made Williams' video such a sensation. Perhaps it was the irony of hearing such a beautiful voice coming from such a disheveled-looking man. He also spoke with sincerity about wanting to get back to productive work after ruining his life with alcohol and drugs.
Williams' story is extraordinary. But Ruth Mark knows there are many more people like him — homeless men and women with God-given talents who, with help and encouragement, can realize their dreams of getting off the street and finding work again.
Mark has seen these people every week for the past five years as director of Pyramid Professional Resources. The non-profit organization is housed at Christ Church Cathedral and receives support from several local businesses and six other churches: Southland Christian, Second Presbyterian, Church of the Good Shepherd, Faith Lutheran, Imani Baptist and St. Martha's Episcopal.

Dahlonega, GA (PRWEB) February 22, 2010
Gregg Hake is CEO of Energetix, a leading BioEnergetic remedy company that specializes in homeopathy, nutrition, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ever mindful of finding ways to improve the health and wellbeing of his fellows, Hake has focused his efforts in the wellness, prevention, and spa industries over the last two decades. He is also the founder of several innovative product and service companies which include: Anakiri, LLC, The Body Sanctuary, Inc., and The Spa on Green Street, all located in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains.
Last week, Mr. Hake entered the blogosphere, utilizing his new blog as a forum to discuss observations on life, on health and wellness, and as a venue to inspire others to greatness.
In a recent post on his blog, Hake noted, "The words you express are both the building blocks of your future and the footprints of your legacy. Indeed, they are the branches upon which the ornaments of your life hang. They color the world you center and give evidence of the center of your attention."
His blog posts have also featured the insights of notable figures as Coach John Wooden, Benjamin Zander, and Dr. Maya Angelou.
Hake offers these words on his blog, "My advice for taking simple steps to enjoy your life more fully is to look at everything differently. Your drive to work, your conversations with those closest to you, your wardrobe, your job, Mondays, technology, sounds, colors, and so on. There is no shortage of little things that can be appreciated and valued anew. See if you can identify something new in every quotidian experience in your life. Something you've never noticed before. And don't just stop there. Tell someone about it. Share the experience in some way. Write a blog, make a comment here, tell a friend, whatever!"
Mr. Hake invites anyone to join him for a lively discussion on his new blog http://gregghake.wordpress.com.
In addition to running several companies, Mr. Hake is also an avid aviator, equestrian, falconer and student of all things classical.

John Carter is an action-adventure film set on the mysterious and exotic planet Mars. Based on the classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the film tells the story of the war-weary Civil War captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is mysteriously transported to Mars where he becomes embroiled in an epic conflict amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Mars and its people rests in his hands. Look for it in a theatre near you in March 2012. And the trailer is freaking awesome.

I discovered a bug in Animated Counter Settings (VC). If I specify no icon and I save, ok and works. If I return to settings to change the title for example, the dropdown is always resetted to the default icon (first icon) and I should remember to specify icon again, every time I change something else in the counter settings.
Maybe it is a small VC glitch to be fixed :-)
Hope this will be useful. Have a good day.
Sorry for the late reply.

It's been a couple of years since I last owned a pair of Nike Air Max, and I think the main reason for that is that a. the Air Max is quite a bulky trainer and b. once I'd ordered a pair of adidas' ZX flux's on a whim a couple of years ago, I got way too used to feeling like I was walking on air. They really are such a light trainer and as a result I now own quite a few pairs.
I did still miss my Nike's though (maybe it's the novelty bubble?), which is why when I stumbled across these Air Max 1 Ultra SE's in the shade "wolf grey" I couldn't resist giving them a go. Not only did I like the look of the woven mesh and perforated detail on the toe, the trainer also looked like it might be pretty lightweight. And I was right. Not only are these trainers super lightweight, they also look far superior to the last pair I owned in that this style feels more like a casual style statement rather than a shoe to train in. Don't get me wrong, I'd happily wear these to the gym or a class, but I think I'll most likely wear them with jeans. The wolf grey colour is also really nice and means your trainers are likely to go with most other items in your wardrobe. I can't speak for yours, but my wardrobe is mostly filled with blacks and greys anyway.
At £110, I think the trainer is also really well priced. It's a quality trainer that is priced the same as a lot of other Air Max styles, although I feel like for me this will be the style I stick to when it comes time to purchase another pair.
Fancy a pair yourself? I got mine from Mainline Menswear and you can shop this style or plenty others on their website by clicking here.

Hong Kong Government Advanced Cantonese Course, 1997
Hong Kong Government Intermediate Cantonese Course, 1993
For the past 18 years John Cameron has acted exclusively for people injured in car accidents and other cases where people are injured through the negligent or criminal acts of others. John has helped over a 1000 people obtain compensation after injury. John has a very successful record taking matters to trial if the other side is not being reasonable. He has successfully conducted over 40 cases in BC Supreme Court and has also taken cases successfully to the BC Court of Appeal. Several of his more interesting and successful results have been featured in the Vancouver Sun and on television. Click the SUCCESSFUL CASES tab above for information on the kinds of cases John has handled.
There are a lot of legitimately injured people, nice people from all walks of life, who come to me for help. I'm talking police officers, fire fighters, people who don't like to complain – they often tell me, "Look I'm injured and ICBC doesn't believe me." I find it very satisfying to help these people and I have come to realize that the danger isn't the random, odd person trying to rip off the system, the danger is when honest, injured people are treated badly by some insurance company that looks at everyone like they are not being honest.
Having worked for 12 years as a police officer in the criminal justice system, I often found myself frustrated by how victims had no say in the outcome of their case and how the rules seemed slanted towards the accused. In the civil justice system, as a plaintiff or injured person you have a key role in how your case goes. You work as a team with your lawyer, and we can get justice because the system is balanced. There is no advantage to us or the other side, it's all based on fairness to both sides. Coming from the police world that's a huge improvement for me and I really get a lot of satisfaction out of that. – J.M.C.
John Cameron was born and raised in Vancouver. After graduating from Churchill High School he obtained a Criminology Diploma from Langara College and then worked as a loss prevention officer. In 1988 he joined the Vancouver Police Department. He worked as a patrol officer and then was transferred to Chinatown in 1991. John became very involved in police relations with the Chinese community and began studying Cantonese on his own initiative. By 1993 he was fluent enough to be the first North American police officer to travel to Hong Kong and attend the Hong Kong Police Cantonese School. In 1994 John wrote a series of articles published in the Vancouver Sun dealing with the problems posed by repeat offenders. This experience sparked his interest in studying law and he looked in to attending law school even though he did not have an undergraduate degree. He was accepted to UBC law school as a special exemption in 1995.
John continued to work as a police officer while studying law. John excelled in law school winning several scholarships and was awarded UBC's overall outstanding student in 1997. In 1997 he returned to Hong Kong on exchange and studied law at Hong Kong University. While there he also completed the Hong Kong Government Advanced Cantonese Course in his spare time. As a result, John speaks fluent Cantonese.
In 2000, John ended his police career and switched to working as a lawyer. He is honoured to have been awarded a medal from the Lieutenant Governor for his distinguished police service. After leaving the police John also authored Cantonese for Law Enforcement a field translation guide for police officers.
John has frequently presented to lawyers here and in the United States on effective trial techniques. A member of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, John is also a proud supporter of:
He enjoys working out, travelling and spending time with his long-time girlfriend Summer and his son.

XIRR or extended internal rate of return is a measure of return used when multiple investments (at different points in time) are made in a financial instrument. A look at what XIRR represents.
First, we need to answer a much simpler question.
If I invest Rs. 12,000, and after 5 years the value is Rs. 22,991. What is the average rate at which my investment has compounded year after year?
To find this, we write
22991 = 12000 x (1+ CAGR)^5
22991 = 12000 x (1+ CAGR) x (1+ CAGR) x (1+ CAGR) x (1+ CAGR) x (1+ CAGR)
Here CAGR represents the year on year compounded growth and is known as compounded annualized growth rate
In the present case, CAGR = 13.9%
CAGR is obviously necessary only when the annual returns vary. If the returns are the same (like in a FD), the maturity value will be known the moment you create the FD.
Suppose I invest Rs. 12,000 once a year for 12 years and wish to know what is the average rate at which my investments have compounded year after year, the quantity that gives me information is the XIRR.
We will now see what the XIRR represents and how it is calculated.
This is the annual SIP investment schedule. The investment is made once at the start of each year. A monthly SIP will follow the same logic but is a bit more difficult to perceive.
The total value after 12 year is 5,17,524
The same schedule can be viewed in a different way.
The first instalment has 12 years to grow. The second instalment has 11 years to grow, and so on.
We now calculate the final value of each instalment.
The first instalment after 12 years grows to 1,42,693 at a CAGR of 22.9%
The second instalment after 11 years grows to 73,308 at a CAGR of 17.9% and so on.
Each instalment has its own CAGR as the investment tenure varies. The total value of all the investments must be equal to 5,17,524
Instead of assigning each instalment a different CAGR, what if we assigned a common CAGR?
That is each instalment is perceived to grow at the same CAGR. The aim is to adjust this common CAGR until the total value of all the investments becomes equal to 5,17,524
The last column is the adjusted CAGR. Now all instalments have the same CAGR and total value of all the investments is indeed equal to 5,17,524
This adjusted CAGR is known as XIRR
So our aim should be to adjust the CAGR until the total value of all the investments equals the actual total final value.
Excel does this adjustment for us automatically using an approximation technique called the Newton-Raphson method (remember that from school?). The technique is not without flaws. Read more here
In the above illustration, the investments are spaced exactly 365 days apart. In an actual annual or monthly SIP, due to non-business days, the spacing will be greater/less than 365 or 30 days. The spacing does not matter for XIRR.

Nathan's Letter
Nathan Thomas,
I wanted to print this letter from 5 years ago and give it to you because I want you to know and remember all these things. They are all still true today. I thought maybe you could keep these letters and read them over when life is rough.
Baby, life is only going to get harder. The next few years of your life could possibly be some of the most difficult. And I can't change that for you. As much as I would like to protect you and keep you safe, I can't. So I want you to remember some things as you go out into the world of teenagehood and endure the perils of junior and senior high school.
- You are loved. You are loved UNCONDITIONALLY by so many people – your grandparents, your aunts and uncles, your cousins…but most importantly, by your brothers and your parents. Unconditional means there are no requirements for this love, there is no way to lose it, or lessen it. We might have disagreements and be frustrated and angry with one another, but your dad and I will ALWAYS love you.You are loved by God. Faith is a finicky, tricky and difficult thing. Again, I can't give you faith. I still struggle with faith every day. You will have to take your own journey. But I hope you will find comfort in knowing that there is a higher power that loves you.
- School is not the be all, end all. Don't get bogged down by the drama that unfolds at school every day. You have a safe haven at home, at Nana's, at Gran's, at all of your auntie and uncle's houses. One day, school will be over and whatever you have built outside of that will remain.
- Choose your friends wisely. You will be influenced by those you surround yourself with. If you are spending time with someone who is not contributing positively to your life, I would encourage you to distance yourself from them. Good friends will get you through the next few years. Not so good friends will take you down paths you do not want to go and to places that are difficult to come back from.
- You can always come back. No matter where you've been, what you've done. You can always come back.
- You can always call/text us. If you are in an uncomfortable situation, get out. Say your mom needs you home now, text and I will come and get you. No questions asked.
- Make good choices. But when you don't, we are here for you. You can always talk to us.
- Your brothers are your best friends. That is one of the most precious gifts I think I could have ever given you – each other.
Baby boy, I love you. Your dad loves you. So, so much. I can't express this enough. Happy Birthday son.
Love always and forever,
- June 2014
- Questival

PROPER BINGE explores the life of an alcoholic, Burgess Zwink, striving for sobriety after a drunken mishap threatens his best friend's life – and his family's love for him...
It is in a colorless room used for court-ordered alcohol intervention classes, that we first meet 32-year old Burgess Ulysses Zwink, aka Buzz. An assignment, given to Buzz by the class instructor, Freddie, is the beginning of the darkly comical journey Buzz takes to (dare we hope?) find a way to live without alcohol ruling his life.
The assignment? Find and apologize to everyone he has wronged while intoxicated and capture the progress on video. The small-town atmosphere leads us to believe his assignment should include nearly everyone in town, however, we are introduced to just a few main characters.
His drinking buddies include: his brother, Cliff, a welder and entrepreneurial creator of unique flasks; Jason, a slightly effeminate man wanting badly to quit drinking and Steve, brew master extraordinaire.
Alex, a 16-year old Inupiaq Eskimo living with Steve's family, misses his village and expresses hope in returning soon. He is an amateur videographer and Buzz asks for Alex's help in recording his assignment.
Henrik, a homeless alcoholic con-man, helps show us that Buzz has a heart and it is in the right place.
Lovely Brianna rounds out the cast of main characters. Buzz and Brianna were lovers in years past, but are now step-siblings which slightly dampens the idea of intimacy for Brianna.
Buzz leaves the court-ordered class, meets up with Jason and Steve at the local bar and the wild ride begins. Buzz ultimately crashes his car through his mother's house directly into his own bedroom; gets thrown out of the house; nearly kills Jason with his stepfather's truck; finds Henrik a bed to sleep in; is beaten silly by almost everyone he apologizes to; gives Henrik a proper resting place; realizes Brianna is not for him; and, finally, gets an opportunity to sober up.
In the meantime, Steve and Cliff partner up and sell Steve's creation, "Pistachio Vodka," in Cliff's custom flasks. They call it STIFF; Brianna and Jason find something in common; Henrik introduces Buzz to a book called "The Art of Drinking Alphabetically"; Alex returns to his village.
A lot happens in five days. From a bar in Wasilla, Alaska, to a 'dry' village in 'the bush' of Alaska. From a bar stool to a blanket toss, Buzz's self-awareness journey doesn't necessarily end ... but it could lead to a new beginning.

Installing a virtual server on your Windows is not a very complex job. You only need a few steps to complete it. However, you need to take some measures to improve the performance of your virtual server. In order to do so, you can use the following tips when installing a virtual server on your Windows.
Convert a physical disk to a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD)
Hyper-V lets you duplicate the contents of a physical drive into a new virtual disk. This process may take a long time depending on the size of the physical disk.
Use integration components
You have to install the ICS on a guest VM. If you enable the Integration Features, then the enhanced integration is activated. If the ICS are not installed on a guest VM, the interaction between the host and the guest is through 'native' console (VMWindow.exe).
Using processor compatibility mode to migrate Virtual Machines
Hardware migration is simple when all the nodes of the cluster similar. Hyer-V can take the advantage of the processor capabilities in the latest AMD and Intel processor for improving the overall efficiency and speed of the VMs that the running on the physical host. You should use the processor compatibility mode only when VMs will migrate from one Hyper-V enabled processor type to another within the same vendor processing family.
Avoid using dynamically expanding VHD files in a production environment
The new Virtual Machine Wizard in Windows Server 2008 R2 is able to create a virtual machine. However, the default settings are not appropriate for production environments. If you use the wizard to create a VHD automatically, then it will create a dynamically expanding VHD file which will be using up your space. It is better to create the VHD file using the New Virtual Hard Disk to create the VHD file before you create the VM. This allows you to specify a fixed size.
These tips will improve the function of your virtual machine. When installing virtual machine on your Windows, follow these advices.

Given that there are two major parameters (among many) for differences in spine surgery growth rates — growth by specific technology and growth by specific country — it is worthwhile to examine all of the possible country-technology combinations in spine surgery (at least those combinations covered in our global spine surgery report).
Below is illustrated graphically a ranking in descending order of the country-segment growth rates (compound annual growth rates from 2011 to 2020) for spine surgery technologies.
Technology-Country Growth Rates (CAGR 2011-2020) in Global Spine Surgery
Source: "Worldwide Spine Surgery: Products, Technologies, Markets and Opportunities, 2010-2020", Report #M520.
Omitted from this graphic are technologies such as Axial Lumbar Interbody Fusion (in most countries), which is expected to have significant growth during this forecast period, but has very low revenue thus far and would therefore display growth rates off the chart for the time period.

This grand Italian Revival mansion isn't just one of the swankiest homes on Millionaire's Row in Pasadena. It's also been an integral part of a controversial religious institution. Now a devoted buyer can write his or her own intriguing chapter in one of Southern California's oldest and most famous communities -- for $4.8 million.
When you hear "Millionaire's Row," your mind races to Beverly Hills or Bel Air. However, this seven-figure home is located in an enclave in relatively sleepy Pasadena. If you've seen the city's Rose Parade on New Year's Day, you might have noticed some of the gorgeous historical mansions along the parade route and wondered, "Who lives in those houses? I bet they have some great stories."
We can confirm your wonder. In the case of this house now known as "Terrace Villa," it began when retired Chicago judge Stillman B. Jamieson hired California architect Walter C. Folland to build his West Coast home in the Italian Revival style, which was all the rage among California's elite in 1924. Because a neighboring mansion cost a then-unheard-of $1 million to build, this particular part of the street was dubbed Millionaire's Row.
The home was a private residence until 1947, when Herbert W. Armstrong, leader of the Worldwide Church of God, came to town and began acquiring the lavish mansions on Millionaire's Row to anchor his newly founded Ambassador College.
The educational institution was established as a liberal arts college, but its main mission was to prepare youth for life and service in the church. The church had a checkered history over the decades and was besieged by controversy and scandal.
In the '90s the college was moved to Texas, and the church began selling off small parts of the once-thriving college.
Many of the buildings sat vacant for more than a decade, but this particular home was used for special events (e.g., it was a staging area for nuptials held in its gardens). Around the turn of the century, developers bought the 19-acre property and turned it into a community known as Ambassador Gardens. The development includes the three historic mansions, an original sunken Italian-style garden and other formal gardens, the Ambassador Auditorium, and a number of luxury townhouses, condos, and private residences.
Today one mansion is being used as a sales office, another is a Tudor that's a private residence, and this 8,000-square-foot Terrace Villa. The four-bedroom home is in the midst of a renovation that will blend modern amenities to its classic features. Among the new additions are a 900-bottle wine cellar, game room, media room, maid's quarters, and four-car underground garage.
The villa has two grand entrances, with the main entrance facing a 2-acre lawn. The upper walls are edged with hand-painted friezes and garlands. Period elements include scrolled wood roof brackets; prominent entry bays with classical detailing; arched openings; multiple chandeliers; a spectacular curved staircase; original hardwood, marble, and tile floors; and decorative wrought iron.
The grounds are lush with mature specimen trees, including two massive fig trees as old as the home itself. The property was designated as a historic landmark in 2012 with Mills Act property tax status, and most of the gardens are cared for by the Ambassador Gardens HOA.
One other advantage of Terrace Villa? It's located within walking distance of the famous Old Town Pasadena, where some of the area's best shops and restaurants are found, along with the Norton Simon Art Museum. Also, classical music concerts at the revived Ambassador Auditorium are only steps away.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to have a piece of our Pasadena history that is completely refurbished with beautiful, modern systems, yet retains its original, historic features," says listing agent Sarah Rogers of the John Aaroe Group. "So many of the older homes I work with need so much restoration work. Terrace Villa will be absolutely turnkey."

Double-fired ceramics: sharp colours and patterns
Double-firing is a special technological process that involves firing, first the base of the tile, and then the enamel. This type of tile boasts particularly sharp colours that give full rein to the designer's imagination thanks to an infinite variety of tints and shades and the chance to create highly complex patterns and effects.
This kind of tile is used mainly for interiors. It adds a touch of class to kitchens, bathrooms and lounges by personalizing the environment and blending perfectly with any architectural features.
Double firing and technical characteristics
"UNI EN 14411 (ISO 13006) - BIII (Appendice L) GL"
Double-fired tiles are obtained by dry-grinding own-quarried clays and fire clays and then mixing, dampening and compacting them in hydraulic presses.
Once the base has been formed it is then quick-cycle fired in roller kilns that reach temperatures of approximately 1100°C.
Once glazed, the product is then sintered in single-layer roller kilns at approximately 1030°C. This creates tiles with an average bending strength of up to 15N/mm2 in compliance with standard UNI EN ISO 10545-4 and a BIII (GL) group classification with a water absorption level of over 10%, in compliance with standard UNI EN 14411.
This class of product hardly shrinks at all during firing, which means its dimensions are extremely consistent and this makes it very easy to lay.
How to lay double-fired tiles
Double-fired tiles can be laid using either cement mortar or tile adhesives.
Under no circumstances should the tiles be wet before laying them with acrylic or vinyl resin-based adhesives or two-component, organic, solvent-based adhesives.
When laying large-size tiles, it is best to adopt the two layer spreading system and, if the floor is very large, incorporate suitable expansion joints which should not be spaced more than 4-5 linear metres apart.
Below are a series of laying conditions that should be avoided as they may cause problems:
When laying tiles on concrete or plaster that is still wet, leave the base to dry for one week per centimetre of thickness.
When laying tiles on brick bases do not spread the tile adhesive more than 4-5 mm thick.
When laying tiles on flexible bases that may generate tile movement (like plaster board, polymer panels, etc.), we recommend using a C2 or D1class tile adhesive that should not be spread more than 2-3 mm thick.
When laying tiles on waterproofed brick surfaces that do not allow humidity to escape, we recommend using a C2 or D1class tile adhesive that should not be spread more than 3 mm thick. Wherever expansion is discharged directly on the tile, always incorporate expansion joints or grouting when laying.

Luxating patella is a condition that occurs when the kneecap slides out of place, getting dislocated from the joint. Each time the kneecap slides out of place, the cartilage becomes increasingly more damaged. If the problem persists and does not receive veterinary care, the damage causes excruciating pain and eventually triggers osteoarthritis. While it occurs most frequently in smaller dog breeds, cats and larger dogs are still susceptible. Luxating patella can be an acquired condition or can exist at birth. Most cases are believed to be genetic so pets with confirmed instances of luxating patella are encouraged to not be used for breeding.
Any pet with a suspected luxating patella should undergo weight management and light exercise to prevent obesity as excess weight can cause increased pressure on joints, worsening an existing condition. The symptoms a pet exhibits will vary depending on their particular level of pain tolerance; some pets might simply freeze in place until the kneecap moves back into position, while others may vocally express their pain.
Symptoms of luxating patella:
Diagnosing luxating patella
During your pet's exam the veterinarian can often determine a luxating patella simply through manually manipulating the kneecap. Depending on the severity of pain and based on the symptoms you describe your pet experiencing, sedation might be necessary for the vet to fully manipulate the kneecap and perform this diagnosis. In some cases, supplementary X-rays might also be recommended to visualize the joint and help with treatment or surgical planning.
In an effort to prevent further damage to joints, pet owners should never manipulate the kneecap or joints on their own. Doing so could worsen their pet's suffering and cause additional harm to cartilage.
Classifications of luxating patella
There are four different classifications that veterinarians use to judge the gravity of a pet's luxating patella. The system ranks pets' symptoms with numbers ranging from 1 to 4 with 1 being the least severe and 4 being the most severe. The following is a list of each pain level and what the number signifies:
How is luxating patella treated?
After properly determining the severity of your pet's luxating patella, the veterinarian will discuss the various methods of treatment available. There are both surgical and non-surgical methods of treatment. Often, pet owners who opt against surgery find that their pet's condition worsens and must eventually undergo surgery to fix the problem.
Non-surgical treatment involves managing pain by administering anti-inflammatories (non-steroid), which helps lessen discomfort and reduce inflammation. Along with a medicated diet, exercise, and a physical therapy routine, pet's that have type 1 or type 2 luxating patella often find that this method of pain management helps strengthen the quadriceps muscles and provides relief from pain.
There are several surgical methods that can help alleviate pain. The most common procedures involve one of the following: reconstructing the soft tissues surrounding the knee joint which helps support the kneecap; deepening the groove in the femur bone that the kneecap rests within; or securing the kneecap to the outside of the bone to prevent it from sliding. If you opt for a surgical treatment for your pet, the veterinarian will further discuss the various options and will review which method is best for your pet's particular case. As with most severe conditions, with more acute cases of luxating patella, surgery is the preferred method of treatment.
If you notice any questionable symptoms in your pet, contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an exam.
We encourage you to contact us with any questions or comments you may have. Please call our office or use the quick contact form.

We took our 5 month old puppy in to get neutered today and had a great experience. They educate you on expenses without making you feel guilty if you decide against extra options. We were able to pick him up 5 hours after dropping him off which was also amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a vet.

Dr. Genova has been my 4 legged daughter's doctor for her whole life (10 years). He is very personable, informative and kind. I seriously cannot say enough positive things about him.. Why else would I trust him to take care of my baby girl?
The rest of the staff is also very kind. Most of them have changed throughout the years but one thing that hasn't is that you can immediately tell how much they all love animals.
This is definitely one of this places that I wish I could give more than 5 stars to.

We had our first experience at Village at Main Veterinary Hospital today and I couldn't wait to write a review because of how pleased I was with the entire staff and environment. I arrived way early for my appointment but they took me anyway since it was open with no problem at all. As soon as we walked in the door my puppy and I were greeted with smiles and even staff that didn't run the counter came out and greeted and loved on my puppy as well which really put her at ease. Every staff member acknowledged our presence at some point. We were taken back to an exam room and we saw Dr. Tran who was warm and loving toward my puppy, she really took her time and you could easily see that she loves what she does. Dr. Tran covered all of my questions I had planned to ask as well as asked if I had any others. I would highly recommend this clinic to anybody who has had a bad experience at another clinic because it will totally make up for it as it did in our case. Thank you so much again for making us feel right at home and loving what you guys do, I will continue to drive 30 minutes just to have my pooch continue to see you guys :)

So this is how far I am. I have started blocking in the Rhino with the overall color that I see in the Rhino Reference photo (btw the reference photo is that of a Rhino my husband took on his recent trip to South Africa - he takes amazing photos)
The blocking in process also helps me to see where I need to adjust proportions and make corrections to the painting before I go in and start working with the details.
February 4th, 2013
This is a oil painting of a Rhino that I have started. It's one of a serious that I am doing on the Big Five of South Africa. The Big Five of South Africa are the Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo and Elephant. I have already completed the Lion painting called "Superior" which is on my website. My goal with this is to try and do the animal as realistic as possible with smooth brush strokes.

Pope VS Trump: Pope Francis Claims Trump is Not Christian
Pope Francis has inserted his own opinion into the American presidential campaign as he declared that Donald Trump's solution to illegal immigration by building a wall along the US and Mexican border is "not Christian."
Donald Trump angrily fired back at Pope Francis stating how disgraceful it was for a religious leader to question another person's faith.
Pope Francis' comments about Trump were released just hours after he finished his visit to Mexico. During the visit, he prayed for the people who have been killed trying to get across the border to the United States.
"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," he said. Francis did say he would "give the benefit of the doubt" because he had not heard independently about the plans he did add, "I say only that this man is not a Christian if he has said things like that."
Donald Trump, a Presbyterian as well as the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination, responded to what Pope Francis said within minutes.
"For a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful," he said during a campaign stop in South Carolina. "I am proud to be a Christian, and as president I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened."
In the video below, Trump went on to say that if and when the day comes that ISIS attacks the Vatican the Pope will wish he was President. You can see all of the exchanges between the two in the video below.
Pope Francis commented on Donald Trump's immigration policy – and Trump responded. https://t.co/YI9rcJON0xhttps://t.co/tE4GPKbOle

Holiday Houseplants
Giving and receiving plants during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, is a common practice. To keep the beauty of these plants through the holidays and beyond, you must understand their needs.
Here are some plants typically available during the holidays.
Euphorbia pulcherrima
The poinsettia is the classic Christmas plant. It is possible to enjoy your poinsettia many weeks into the New Year. To prolong the bracts' color, keep daytime temperatures between 68 and 72 degrees and nighttime temperatures about 60 degrees. Place the plant in a bright location. To increase the humidity around the plant, place the poinsettia on a saucer filled with gravel and water. Poinsettias do not like drastic temperature changes, so keep them away from vents, radiators, and space heaters. For information on continued growth after Christmas and reflowering, see Extension Publication 2573 Home Horticulture: Selecting and Maintaining Poinsettias.
Note: Although research has shown the poinsettia to be nontoxic, it is not recommended for consumption by humans or animals. Some individuals may develop skin irritation when exposed to the milky sap.
Holiday Cacti
The main types of holiday cacti are Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncata), Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi), and Easter cactus (Hatiora gaertneri).
The Thanksgiving cactus typically blooms early in the holiday season, from Thanksgiving through Christmas. The leaf margins on this cactus have two to four sawtoothed projections pointing upward on the sides of the stem. This cactus comes in several flower colors, ranging from red and lavender to salmon-orange and white.
The Christmas cactus blooms later in the season, from Christmas through March. The leaf margins usually have four rounded scallops along the edges of the stem. The flower colors are usually red and white.
Although not a winter holiday plant, the Easter cactus is a great plant to give in the spring. The Easter cactus generally blooms from March to May. It may bloom again in the fall. Flowers are usually pink or red. Leaf margins are smoother than the other seasonal cacti and have brownish, hair-like bristles at their tips.
Caring for holiday cacti is not difficult. They prefer high humidity. They will not bloom if kept too warm, so keep them in cooler parts of the house, away from heat sources such as vents, televisions, and refrigerators. A coarse soil mix (high humus, sharp sand) that provides drainage is important. Keep the soil medium moist, not wet. Holiday cacti can easily be overwatered and are susceptible to root rot.
For repeat flowering, place cacti in a room with cool temperatures (60 to 65 degrees), stop fertilizing, allow the soil to become dry between waterings, and provide 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness every night for 5 to 6 weeks. Once flower buds appear, move the plants to a bright-light location and resume normal watering and fertilizing. Maintain cool temperatures (60 to 70 degrees) to avoid bud drop. Cacti are easy to propagate by making cuttings of stem sections. Propagation works best when done in early spring or summer.
Norfolk Island Pine
Araucaria heterophylla
Norfolk Island pines are very common during the holiday season. They are typically sold as living Christmas trees. Three to four small trees may be in one container. Although many people think the Norfolk Island pine is a cold-weather plant, it is actually a tropical plant native to the southern hemisphere in Australia and the Norfolk Islands. This plant, though often used as a compact houseplant, can grow up to 200 feet in its native habitat.
Norfolk Island pines prefer high to medium light (an east- or west-facing window) and cool day temperatures (50 to 70 degrees) and night temperatures (45 to 65 degrees). Temperatures below 45 degrees can damage the growing tips of the branches.
Provide high humidity and good ventilation for the plant. Age and lack of humidity cause needles on the trunk to fall off. Water the plant on a regular basis. Dry and brown lower branches indicate the plant is dehydrated. Norfolk Island pines do not tolerate wet soil, however. Sporadic yellow needle clusters indicate the plant has been overwatered. Fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks during its active growing season (March through September).
Jerusalem Cherry
Solanum pseudocapsicum
Another common holiday plant is the Jerusalem cherry, also known as the Christmas cherry or winter cherry. This bushy evergreen shrub produces white flowers in the summer that give rise to small, round, reddish-orange fruit in the winter, usually around Christmas.
As a houseplant, Jerusalem cherry requires bright light or full sun to thrive. Mist the plant often. Lack of humidity causes the plant to lose its leaves, blooms, or fruit. Keep the plant in a room with temperatures below 70 degrees. Higher temperatures may cause leaf, flower, or fruit drop. Fertilize the plant with a basic houseplant fertilizer while it is actively growing. Stop fertilizer treatment after the plant has finished blooming.
After the fruits have dropped, cut the plant back drastically and place it outside. Do not put the plant outside if temperatures are below 41 degrees. You may plant the Jerusalem cherry outside in a part-sun location. If you wish to bring it back in for the holidays, do so before the first frost. If the plant is still in flower when you bring it inside, be sure to tap or shake the plant to ensure pollination and later fruit formation. Keep the soil moist while the plant is actively growing, but do not overwater it.
Note: All parts of the Jerusalem cherry, especially the fruit, are toxic and may be fatal if eaten. Keep out of reach of children.
Cyclamen persicum
The cyclamen is another holiday favorite. Cyclamen flowers come in white, pink, magenta, red, lavender, and deep purple. During blooming, keep the plant cool (55 to 60 degrees) and in a room with bright, indirect light. To provide needed humidity around a cyclamen, set the bare pot on a saucer filled with gravel and water. You don't need to do this if you keep it cool. Keep the soil moist while the plant is in bloom. Do not let it dry out. When watering a cyclamen, use lukewarm water and avoid dampening the crown. Water all around the inside of the pot instead of directly over it.
Remove faded blooms at their starting point. When the flowers have faded, pull them out of the corm and begin fertilizing with a diluted solution until new leaves appear. When leaves begin to fade, stop fertilizing, and gradually reduce the water, allowing the corm to go dormant. When the soil has become completely dry and all leaves have died down, allow the plant to rest for 6 to 12 weeks in a cool, dark place. Ideally, you should allow the plant to stay dormant during the warmest weather; then it will flower in winter and spring.
Remove the corm from the pot and replant in fresh potting soil, with one-third to one-half of the corm's top portion sticking out above the soil's surface. When a new leaf forms, begin watering again, and fertilize once a month until flower buds form.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
Kalanchoe plants are native to Africa and Madagascar. Flower colors include red, yellow, orange, and pink. Kalanchoe flowers have been bred to last a long time. While the kalanchoe is in flower, water it thoroughly, letting the soil dry between waterings. Do not keep the soil dry for too long, or the flowers will drop prematurely. Usually the soil takes 1 to 2 weeks to dry out, depending on the size of the pot and the temperature. Kalanchoes do not like wet feet, so do not overwater them. Give new plants enough fertilizer to promote growth through their first flowering. If you have an older plant, fertilize it every 3 weeks while it is in flower. Kalanchoes tolerate most light levels, but they prefer medium light. The best room temperature is 50 to 70 degrees during the day and 40 to 65 degrees at night.
After the plant has flowered, cut the flower stems back to the second or third leaf below the old flowers. You may use a standard houseplant fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks after new growth appears. For your kalanchoe to flower again, it needs short days, or days with fewer than 11 hours of sunlight. Getting a kalanchoe to reflower can be tricky. To flower, the plant needs 14 hours per day of uninterrupted darkness for 8 weeks. A small amount of light (room lights, street lamps) during this 14 hours can keep it from flowering. Do not place a kalanchoe in a dark room that does not receive any light. The more light the plant receives during the short day, the faster it will flower. An easy way to provide uninterrupted darkness is to cover your plant with a box lined with a black plastic bag every day at 5 p.m. and uncover it the next day at 8 a.m.
Ornamental Peppers
Capiscum spp.
Ornamental pepper plants are often found in stores around the holidays. These plants should be kept inside when temperatures are expected to drop below 40 degrees. They produce colorful fruits (peppers) that come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, including purple, white, red, yellow, orange, brown, and blue. A single plant can have three different colors of peppers on it. These plants make great houseplants as well as ornamental landscape plants.
Whether inside or outside, ornamental peppers need full sun or bright light. Water them regularly, letting the soil dry between waterings. Plants remain more compact if the soil is kept on the dry side. Ornamental peppers do not like wet soil. Actively growing plants need light fertilization. While peppers are inside your home, keep them in a room that stays between 50 and 70 degrees. You can eat these peppers if they have not been treated with pesticides. They may be extremely hot and bitter.
Rosmarinus officinalis
Rosemary topiaries are popular during the holiday season because they are often shaped like Christmas trees and are very fragrant. With proper care, these topiaries can be kept alive long after the holiday season.
Rosemary prefers a sunny location in the home. Watering rosemary can be tricky. Rosemary does not like to have wet feet (roots), so make sure the plant is in well-drained soil. Water rosemary thoroughly but not often, based on the soil moisture level.
After the holiday season, you may move your rosemary plant outside and either keep it in the pot or plant it in your garden. Rosemary is a perennial in Mississippi and prefers full sun, but it will tolerate some shade. If you wish to keep the topiary's shape, you will need to prune it often. Don't discard the pruned pieces. Use them in the kitchen to liven up your cooking.
Hippeastrum hybridii
Amaryllis is a popular indoor flowering plant in the winter and spring. It has large, showy blooms in colors ranging from white to shades of pink, salmon, red, and orange. It is the easiest bulb to bring into bloom, as it does not require precooling to flower like daffodils and tulips. If you cannot pot your new bulb immediately, keep it in a cool, dry location with good air circulation. Do not expose it to freezing, damp conditions. When ready to pot, use a container no larger than 1½ times the diameter of the bulb as it likes to be pot bound. Use a good potting mix and sink the bulb up to the neck. Place in a warm, bright light situation, and water sparingly until the stem appears. As the bud and leaves appear, gradually water more. Do not overwater because this will cause the bulb to rot. It is not necessary to fertilize during this flower development time.
Bulbs will flower 6 to 8 weeks after potting, depending on the growing conditions and variety. When in flower, move the plant where you will receive the most enjoyment, preferably in a cool, shaded area, which will prolong the floral display. After flowering, cut the old flowering stalk off 2 inches from the bulb. Put the plant back into a warm, bright-sunlight area of your home, water, and begin fertilizing with a complete houseplant fertilizer, following the directions on the label. This will ensure that the leaves continue to grow and produce the sugars that will eventually be stored in the bulb to produce next season's blooms.
After danger of frost has passed, move the plant outdoors to a full sun area and continue to water and fertilize as needed. In the fall, before frost, gradually decrease watering, as this will signal the plant that it is time to go dormant. As the soil dries, the foliage will begin to yellow. Move the plant (pot and all) into a cellar or other dark, dry place. Amaryllis pots can be turned on their sides and stored in the garage or under a greenhouse bench during the dormant period as well. It is generally recommended that amaryllis bulbs remain in this dormant state for 8 weeks, after which time you can bring them out and start the whole process over again.
Rhododendron spp.
Various cultivars
Keep the plant in a well-lit location, but avoid direct sun while in flower. Night temperatures between 55 and 60 degrees will prolong flowering. Keep the soil uniformly moist; never allow it to dry out completely.
During the bloom period, regularly remove any dead flowers. When it's finished flowering, you can replant your azalea in a larger container, if needed, and move it outdoors after danger of frost has passed. The azalea could be planted during the growing season into a landscape bed in a shady location. During the growing season, use a fertilizer recommended for acid-loving plants, following the directions on the label.
Whether it survives the winter in your location depends on what type of florist azalea it is. Some cultivated varieties of azaleas are designed for inside use only. Others are "hardy" varieties that can be planted in the garden. Be sure to ask your florist what type of azaleas they carry. If they are unsure of the winter hardiness, you may want to chance it and plant it in the garden to see if it will overwinter. If it doesn't make it, you can always buy another holiday azalea houseplant next winter.
Because florist-type azaleas need precise growing conditions in the greenhouse for blooming in the winter months, this plant is difficult for the homeowner to achieve a repeat bloom in the home environment. Therefore, it is not recommended for this purpose.

St Augustine bed and breakfast, the Inn on Charlotte, has reached 500 reviews on TripAdvisor; which is quite an accomplishment here in the oldest city. There are only 2 other B&Bs out of the 30+ bed & breakfasts in St Augustine that have reached that number.
Out of all the travel advice sites on the internet, TripAdvisor is the most important, when it comes to St Augustine. Other sites are good for finding thing to do and see in the ancient city; but to get an honest review of an Inn, hotel, bed & breakfast, or restaurant, there's nothing better than TripAdvisor.
So before you book your room at a bed and breakfast, or make reservations at that fancy restaurant, or stay at a swanky hotel, check TripAdvsor for guest's honest reviews of these establishments.

I rode the bus into downtown Baltimore Friday morning from Hampdon, three miles north of the temporary street circuit that has been constructed for this weekend's Baltimore Grand Prix. The drivers I've worshipped, the cars I have adored are there this weekend, screaming down steel canyons and along Baltimore's beautiful waterfront. But riding through the districts north of downtown, on a bus route that serves poor, underprivileged, largely black neighborhoods gives you another perspective.
I had arrived on Thursday afternoon, the day before practice sessions began, and two days before any racing. The official name of the event, as known to race fans, is the Baltimore Grand Prix. But to the locals, it's just "the grand prix." The term conjures up a hell of a lot more than just an auto race—it's shorthand for an entire political fiasco that has divided the city. You couldn't miss hearing about "the Grand Prix." "Baltimore's first Grand Prix is coming!" said a prerecorded announcement on all buses; it went on to advise people to be aware of route diversions due to downtown being closed off. Although #BGP2011 is the official hashtag promoted by the organizers, at one point, #GrandPrix was the number two trending topic on Twitter worldwide—and it was entirely Baltimoreans complaining about the traffic headaches that GP-related road closures were causing.
On Thursday night, I rode the bus down to the inner harbor. I was the only non-black person on the bus. Although no one shared a seat, many of the riders were friendly, sharing the easy familiarity that arises from having laid down common roots in a close community. One man poured over the revised bus route diverted around the GP with another rider who was unfamiliar with the concept of a downtown street race. "We couldn't afford to go anyway," he sighed.
As I walked down the inner harbor, I met two middle-aged men—white, blue-collar workers. I told them I had flown in from Boston for the race. They seemed to be encouraged by that. "We are so psyched for this race," one of them said. Lifelong Baltimoreans, and proud ones that night. I asked them about the political situation. "It's been rough," the talkative one said. "It's been rough," waving his hands in the air. "But I'll tell you what: This city needs this race."
On Saturday morning, I saw some more of the debate. I was the only non-black person on the bus. One of the riders, a middle-aged, heavyset woman, was on a roll. "WIth everything we need, what are they doing with that money? What are they thinking, putting in race cars? Black man ain't got no car, let alone no race car!" Another woman nodded but disagreed politely with a smile on her face. "Well, I think it's nice. It's something else for people to come and see."

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 24, 2016
Wise School and Berkeley Hall School teamed up to raise awareness — and thousands of dollars — to build a well in Swaziland. The students raised funds in a variety of creative ways, holding a Thirst Olympics at Wise School, where sponsored "thirst-letes" swam laps in the campus pool and ran laps to raise a grand total of more than $12,500 for The Thirst Project.
Once the students learned about the hardships caused by lack of pure drinking water, they were immediately moved to take action. In Swaziland, many of the children cannot go to school because they are trudging miles to replenish their meager water supply, carrying 40-pound jerry cans of water.
Inspired to help, Wise School, Berkeley Hall and Life Changes Network chose to fund a well through The Thirst Project, designed to connect schools with speakers of high ideals, strong character and noteworthy actions who have made a difference in the world. Its mission is to inspire students to think deeply and devote themselves to living with intention, finding meaning and striving for accomplishments.
Says Tami Weiser, Head of School at Wise School, "I'm so proud of both school communities. They rose to the challenge and were very creative in all the ways they raised money."
Rabbi Joshua Knobel, Wise School Dean of Student & Family Life and a member of the Clergy team at Stephen Wise Temple, adds "Our students experienced the blessing of giving, and are energized to continue to make a difference in people's lives globally and locally."
Mark Laisure of the Life Changes Network explains that The Thirst Project was started by Seth Maxwell when he was still a teen, and its mission is to reach out to middle, high school and college students about the water crisis. One hundred percent of the funds raised go to providing clean water. The Thirst Project has raised over $8 million and funded nearly 1,000 projects to provide 280,000 people in 13 countries with safe, clean water.
Wise School is a Jewish day school in Los Angeles with an exclusive curriculum developed in partnership with the USC Rossier School of Education. Wise School empowers children with a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics; and inspires children to learn deeply, be creative and experience wholeness. Specialized programs include: Early Childhood language immersion, Artist in Residence workshops, the Music Innovation Lab, Project Studio (inquiry-based social studies), Debate team, Odyssey of the Mind teams, The Jewish Lens, and an international student exchange. Wise School is located on the campus of Stephen Wise Temple and draws students from Beverly Hills, the San Fernando Valley, West L.A., Santa Monica, Los Angeles and beyond.

Question about GPS
When powered on, the unit turns itself off after a few seconds of operation. Battery is about 1/4 charged, but does not seem to be taking additional charging. Any ideas? Many thanks
Posted by John 35 on
Just got a Garmin nuvi 650 and it has exactly the same issue. I haven't charged it yet (it came charged) but it indicates that it has about a quarter of the battery left. It turns off after a few seconds of operation.
The unit shuts down between 5 seconds and 45 seconds of use. This occurs when the unit is connected to the power cord or is being used by battery power. Any ideas?
I am having the same problem with both of my Forerunner 201's. The battery does not seem to be holding a charge. It charges but when I unplug it and turn it on, it advises battery low and then shuts off. Any suggestions on fixing this problem?
I bought a Garmin Nüvi 650 in November 2007. It worked okay untill April 08. I did not use it for a month or so and when I tried to use it it turns off after few seconds it turns on.
I am also having the same issue. I received my Garmin Nuvi 360 about 2 months ago and even when the battery is fully charged, I can turn on the unit and depending on how touchy it is acting, it may turn off as soon as I turn it on or it may boot up all the way and let me search for an address, and then it shuts off. I'm calling Garmin on Monday to see if they've heard of this issue. The unit if fully charged now -- I have 4 green battery bars. Since the unit has no other buttons, I don't know what else to try.
My garmin 650 keeps shutting off within a minute of turning it on.... any ideas?
I have the same problem. I can't get it to charge. Every time I turn it on it shuts off within 30 seconds. Can anyone help? firstname.lastname@example.com
Same exact problem here as well!
Same problem here. Have had the unit for 1 year with no problem until now. This is an overnight problem. All the sudden the unit won't stay on and 1/4 battery charge.
My unit has the same problem. I found the unit will take a full charge when plugged into the USB port of my laptop. But when plugged inthe car, the unit is not being powered, but rather runs off the battery for 3 hours & then
won't stay on for more than 5 seconds.
I'm having the same problem on the nuvi 650 model. It does have some battery charge still on it, but it will not stay on for more than 5 seconds, even if there is a power source directly plugged into it.

SOURCE: Charging Garmin Nuvi battery for first time
The Garmin Nuvi 855 uses a Lithium-ion battery. It is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge.
In other words there is no memory effect with these batteries and it should be safe to charge it for as long as you like on the first charge. I would estimate 4 hours will give you a full charge if you wish to do this from the outset.
