A lot of people are considering painting the 1970s paneling in their own house. Here's how to go about painting paneling:
When painting the trimwork around the paneling, such as baseboards and door facings, use a similar procedure but use oil-based paint and primer for a smoother, high gloss finish. Watch this video to find out more.

What can I do to get rid of the lines in the paneling. Because it looks just like painted paneling to me. thanks Norma
Danny Lipford Says:
About the only thing you can do other than replacing the paneling is to fill in the grooves with drywall joint compound using a 6in drywall knife. Then you will need to sand, prime and paint the walls.
I have used textured paint with a degree of success however it depends on whether you want textured walls or not. Depending on how thick the paint texture is you will still see lines when the light hits just right if you aren't very careful in painting. filling the grooves is the obvious answer..texture painting is the easy way out but not always the best solution.
I covered the grooves in my paneling by covering it with a wallpaper product that I purchased at Lowes. It is basically a heavy white paper with no pattern that I put up like wallpaper and gently smoothed over the paneling. There were one or two places in the panelling that was irregular and that showed thru the paper, but otherwise I was well satisfied with the "sheetrock" look of the wall.
Yes I have used that same paper on a home we lived in that was built in the 1800s and of course all the walls were in perfect condition..cough….
It didnt work that well for me in that situation…I used textured paint there as well then decorative painting on top. It came out beautifully. Wish I had pics..unfortunately we rented the house and when we moved out a contractor bought it and put up an apartment complex..what a shame. Three fireplaces..etc. But the sills were bad and alot of work would have to had been done to restore the home which is why we moved and bought our house here on the lake which brings its own set of problems like flooding.. which I am dealing with now.
After experimenting with many different paneling "groove fillers", I found something that worked and seems like it will be durable. When I tried Joint Compound, spackling, caulk – paint just scratched off easily. It is Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Filler it is paintable and sandable, comes in a tube and only $2 at target. Be sure to sand excess using a drywall sanding block (it is soft) spray some water on the filled in areas and it is very clean to use. This stuff probably only works if you have paneling with shallow grooves. Use a sanding block to Sand in the grooves a bit before applying.
I have just bought a mobile home and it has all the walls and cieling covered with wood paneling. I want to paint them but what type of paint should I buy???
i would like to paint my paneling, but i am not sure of the color that i would like to paint, (furniture is victorian style) colors on the furniture is pink,mavue,blue,gold,teal,beige, my rug also has the same colors (the wood color is cherry) and my curtains are a mauve color, do you have any suggestions or tell me where i can look to see what color would go well???
WE just bought a mobile home,even though it is nice every thing is late 70′s early 80′s paneling.I'd like to know the easiest way to paint it without any seams or shadows of them showing.It also has a huge sorta window sill behind the bed in the master bedroom,it looks like plywood,how could I make it look more like real wood.Al so some of the panels on the hall ceiling needs replaced.I'd rather just put in a plaster ceiling,how? And the bathroom had a look of puffy glow in dark stickers on the walls and ceiling.I took them off but they left a lot of residue,if I paint over it it will show terribly.How do I remove all the residue?
Thank You.
Sorry I am so late answering these questions but I have been ill and not paying alot of attention to the site. Martha m: I would use a latex eggshell or satin paint of good quality. I like the texture effect but if you are going for a "cottage feel" then perhaps whitewashing the paneling is the route to go. remember to sand the panelling a bit to give it "tooth" to let the paint adhere to.
Milly: As far as your question goes, look at a color wheel. Find the predominate color of the room..in your case it sounds like mauve. Then look across the wheel to find the complentary color.. you can also go monochromatic or autogolous, but for suggestions try going to behr.com or valspar.com and they have actual rooms that you can try different colors on. If you subscribe to the behr site you can upload your own pics and actually see what the colors will look like on the walls. You have alot of colors going on there. I would tend to stay with a very neutral color such as ivory.. with a tint of green red or yellow in it depending on what colors you want to highlight. When you have so many colors going on, make sure you find a good focal point so the eye isnt going crazy when you walk into the room. make sure when you enter that it focuses on one thing then its more soothing to the eye.
Denise.. you can faux finish anything to make it look like a wood finish.. gel stains are good for that. as far as the ceiling goes you dont want plaster you probably want sheetrock.. and the residue can be removed easily usually with a product called goof off or sometimes wd 40 will take it off. if that doesnt work there are stronger adhesive removeers on the market. just make sure that it doesnt damage the material underneath.
I hope this helps.
I am attempting to remove 2 layers of wallpaper over hardwood paneling in our bedroom. Our home was built in 1957-58,we live where my husband grew up.
What is the best way to paint the paneling after paper removal. (my husband likes the paneling, he remembers it from a small child)uhgg . Is it okay to prime/paint only?
Should I fill in the grooves first?
do you think drywalling over old paneling is good idea?
I have a 1950′s beach cottage with knotty pine wals and want to paint them off white to give that beachy feel. I was told that there is a primer that adheres to polyurethane. That way I don't have to sand the whole darn room. Is this true and do you know the name? Thanks
[...] Is it really wallpaper? Or, is it decorative paneling that looks like wallpaper? Many of the older mobile homes had paneling on which there was a pattern stamped so the panels looked like wallpaper. If you are not the original owner, it is possible that a previous owner wallpapered over the paneling. Check carefully to see if there is a seam that is raised or coming undone. Find a corner to see if you can lift any wallpaper. If you do, indeed, have wallpaper, it needs to be removed. The panels likely have plastic strips between them. Lazy wallpapers often paper over these. The plastic strips can be removed and the gaps filled with spackle. When dry, sand smooth. Removing wallpaper requires a little patience. You can buy a paper tiger, a little gizzo that punctures little holes in the paper, at the local paper/paint store. The more holes the better. Put a tablespoon of fabric softener in a quart spray bottle of water. Saturate paper. Use a putty knife to lift and peel off. Wash walls down afterwards to make sure all adhesive residue is removed. After you have removed wallpaper or have determined that you simply have decorative paneling, you need to very lightly sand, apply oil-based primer and apply a couple coats of latex paint. In the following video, the painter used a tinted acrylic primer. DIY: How To Paint Paneling – Danny Lipford [...]

I am trying to decide what color and how to paint over the notty pine walls and ceilings. I love it but the stain is too dark. I have a new white bedroom set, and I would like to make the room like a seaside cottage look, as I live on the water. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Sarah
I have a mobile home that has panelling that looks like wallpaper and has a shiny texture. Can I paint over this and would I need to put Kilz or a type of primer first?
Ben Erickson Says:
Hi Jacki,
It's probably a vinyl coating, which does not hold paint well.
I just purchased a manufactured home built in 2005, I love the home but I hate the walls, they are textured but I can't make out if they are wallpapered or if its a panel every couple of feet there is a strip running vertically,that has the same print on it… can i remove that strip and paint the walls?
i am having a problem with painting my paneling. I cleaned the paneling and primed to get it ready for painting but now i am painting it with white paint, i have had to apply 3 coats of white paint. The paint is holding to the walls but it seems no matter how many coats i put on it, it wont cover up the dark color of the paneling. What else should i do?
I am trying to paint my mobil home I have used primer and it still peeling off the paint in some places.It also has paneling that looks like wallpapper.I am at a stand still.Please help!
Hi. I want to start painting the walls in my manufactured home. They are paneling that have a thin layer of something that is like wallpaper and it is textured. I want to take out the strips that hold these up and fill them in and then paint the walls. My concern is that I won't be able to make the spots where the strips are look the same as the textured panels. I am also concerned that these won't hold paint well. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? I have a 2005 manufactured home. Thanks.
Our living room had dark wood paneling and trim. The ceilings are white and we have dark wood beams also. We just painted the paneling a tan color to try to lighten up the room. We are now faced with a dilema of the white ceiling, tan walls, and dark wood trim. What should we do? We have considered painting the wood trim white, or paint the ceiling a lighter tan color to get rid of the awkward white.
I am geting ready to paint over the wood paneling in my house. I am not sure what brand in the best joint compound to fill in the grooves. Could anyone help please? I have read so many things and I want one that will not crack over time.
hey,im trying to redo my living room we just bought this house and of course its paneling in the living and dining rooms,yuck….i want to buy a textured paint to cover it and use a textured roller??? my question is color i love warm colors id love to have like a beige light beige???but i have a pine trim that is varnished and im thinking it wont look right together any suggestions??? i love the trim…my living rm has forest green carpet and i have mauve n green furniture….PLEASE HELP…….
I have dark paneling in the bathroom, bedroom and in the living room. Can I use the acrylic latex paint & primer for all the rooms? Or do I use something different for the bathroom?
We just moved into a manufactured home for the first time, and it is beautiful but the walls need to be painted. I have paneling that is like wallpaper. I am guessing I will have to wash it down, then use a primer such as kilz for a few coats, and then finally paint. However, when I caulk them, should I squirt some sort of something between them with a caulking gun first, and then spread it and then sand it, and on and on? Or will that push the paneling apart when it expands and dries? Any particular caulking better for these seams? Thanks for your help!!!
Ben Erickson Says:
Hi Kelly,
Filling the grooves shouldn't cause the paneling to pull apart, but the filler may crack or come loose over time. You basically have two choices for filling the grooves, spackling and drywall joint compound or caulking. Spackling and drywall joint compound are applied from the container with a putty knife. They dry hard and can be sanded when dry, resulting in a smooth surface. However, they are also hard and brittle when dry and may crack if the paneling is flexed by bumping it if it isn't firmly supported behind it. Caulking is applied from a tube, then smoothed out with a putty knife or finger. It usually shrinks a bit on drying and remains flexible. On the down side, that means it can't be sanded and the grooves will probably still be slightly visible after painting. On the plus side, caulking won't crack or fall out when flexed like spackling or joint compound. One other very important thing to consider is that if your paneling has a vinyl wallpaper or other vinyl coating on it, paint won't stick to it. Good luck with your project!
Is it necceasary to fill the grooves with filler? Can't I just prime the awful wpaneling, then paint it? The room is our basement, we had rain water come in last month so we decided to replace the florr. I'm having a hard time picking out a new floor due to the paneling, so why not paint the paneling?? any thoughts on the this?
thanks so much!
I used ready mixed plaster(joint compound)to apply a thick hand texture to my paneling. First, I covered the grooves in the paneling with a thin waffle joint tape. This was the only prep required. I made sure to fill grooves well with plaster as I was going, making sure tape wasn't visible, & using a method similar to spreading icing on a cake. Was fun, but time consuming! Used almost 4 gal. for a 144 sf wall. Let plaster dry for 48 hours,then I painted and glazed. It's beautiful! Warning: I did my bathroom before trying tape over grooves. I filled the grooves with plaster first & let dry, then plastered over that. Several grooves cracked! Don't do it without taping the grooves!
I have dealt with the vinyl paper glued to 4×8′ panels in a mobile home and regular wood grain look paneling in a 79′ m obile home. In the first, I tried to remove the vinyl paper and found it almost impossible. So I took my razor knife and scored it in a grid pattern to give it tooth. Then I applied lightweight joint compound, in a somewhat smooth design. After that dried, I applied another coat, then took sandpaper and sanded the rougher edges. After this I took old cut-up towels and rubbed the walls to smooth it a little more. Then I painted it with primer and a topcoat. It turned out beautifully.
In the second instance, I sanded the paneling (it was a fairly light color), cleaned it with a spray cleaner, and filled in the grooves with lightweight joint compound. It took two coats of the compound, and in some places three, but it went fairly quickly. The results were good. The same as you would get with painted drywall.
Ben Erickson Says:
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the tips!
I was thinking of using a burnt orange on the bottom of my old messed up cherry colored paneling and a lighter color on top with a chair rail strip or some other moulding dividing the two. It looks good in simulation, but I'm not sure yet. Local home center told me I'd have to first sand and then use a stain killer (like Kilz) before I paint it. How does all this sound? Some of all you guys' comments sound good as well, things I hadn't thought of yet. The room is a rectangular living room on the north side of the house and is dark, gets very little sun. The dark cherry paneling maks it even worse, depressing to habitate.
We have followed all of the directions…cleaned, filled with joint compound twice, cleaned, primed, and now our test patches (one with 2 coats of primer, one with 1 coat or primer and 2 coats of paint) still have visable lines from the paneling. We are at a total loss as far as what to do about this? We really do not want the lines to be seen…especially after so much work. Thanks.

Coalition: State support for Kentucky's public schools has fallen
FRANKFORT — A new education coalition said Wednesday that state support for Kentucky public schools has fallen during the past four years despite perceptions to the contrary. It urged Gov. Steve Beshear and the 2012 General Assembly to reverse the trend with more money.
The Kentucky Education Action Team, calling itself KEAT, contended that inflation, combined with state funding that has remained flat or been cut in some areas, has led to declines in seven key programs, including the basic Support Educational Excellence in Kentucky, or SEEK, funding that supports school operations.
"Our purpose is to let our legislators ... and the citizens of Kentucky know the realities of what has happened to funding in our schools over the last four-year period. There has been a trend ... of reduction after reduction after reduction," said Stu Silberman, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence and a spokesman for KEAT.
The reductions are risky because they have come as Kentucky schools are preparing for new content standards, a new accountability system and a new statewide test, KEAT members said during a news conference in the state Capitol rotunda.
According to the group's numbers, SEEK base funding, when adjusted for inflation, has fallen from about $4,230 per pupil in fiscal 2007-08 to $3,769 per student this fiscal year. Other programs, such as preschools, family resource centers, safe schools and professional development for teachers, have been cut sharply, while there has been no state funding for textbooks for two years running, the group said.
Susan Perkins Weston, an analyst with KEAT, estimated it would take $323 million to restore educational support to 2008 levels. That would amount to adding about 4 percent to the state general fund budget, Weston said.
KEAT, formed recently, is made up of the Kentucky Association of School Administrators, Kentucky School Boards Association, Kentucky Association of School Councils, Kentucky Association of School Superintendents, Kentucky Education Association, Kentucky PTA and the Prichard Committee.
Bill Scott, executive director of the school boards' association, said there was a public perception that education generally has been "held harmless" from budget cuts.
"But make no mistake, our funding has dwindled," Scott said. "In this time of growing expectations for kids, our money has not only remained flat but in some ways has diminished. That's the point we've tried to make today."
Beshear has said at various times that he has protected SEEK funding during the tight budget restrictions of recent years.
That's true, KEAT officials said Wednesday. Weston said the state has kept the basic SEEK amount guaranteed to local school districts the same.
"But each year the state has expected local school districts to contribute more," she said. "Every year the district share has been bigger and the state share has been smaller."
In addition, Weston said that during the past two years, the state planned to raise the SEEK guarantee but underestimated the number of students to be covered. As a result, school districts had to spread the money they received over more students, meaning fewer dollars per student, she said.
At the same time, Weston said, preschool and other programs received outright cuts.
Kentucky Education Association president Sharron Oxendine said state support for teachers' professional development was $25 per student four years ago, but is $4 now. That's an 84 percent reduction, she said.
"At the very time we need more support ... teachers are being given less," Oxendine said.
Mayfield Independent Schools Superintendent Lonnie Burgett said reductions threaten schools' ability to serve students.
"Local districts cannot continue to provide each student with the highest quality education ... when declines ... deprive them of adequate resources to do so," he said.
Jessamine County School Superintendent Lu Young, speaking for the school superintendents' association, said cuts to safe schools, instructional resources and similar programs were "startling."
"We urge the members of the General Assembly to renew your commitment to adequate funding for education," she said.

Chickpea Granola Bars
I got this recipe from the No Meat Athlete. It is a great resource for recipes that work! The one tip I suggest is to place the sheet pan in the refrigerator uncovered so that the bars can dry out a bit. This way it is easier to cut them into bars. I also tripled the recipes so you can fill a whole large sheet pan to make a lot of bars. Enjoy!
3 cans chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
2 Tbsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp sugar
4 1/2 cup oatmeal
3 cup whole grain brown rice cereal
3 cup dried fruit (I used Sunmaid's variety pack of "Fruit bits")
3/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup honey
9 Tbs canola oil,
3 Tbs ground flax seed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix ground flax seed with 3/4 cup warm water, set aside to thicken. Toss chickpeas in sugar and cinnamon. Bake 10 min, stir in the pan, and then 10 min more. Add oatmeal to the pan and bake 5 min. Stir together the peanut butter, honey, canola oil, and flax paste. Combine chickpeas, oatmeal, cereal & dried fruits. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir to combine. Press mixture into large greased cookie sheet. Really PRESS and PACK IN the mixture as hard as you can. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into bars.

1970 Campaniles on display during Homecoming, Rice University
Two people beside a table displaying Rice University's Campanile Yearbook, published in conjunction the 1970 Homecoming celebrations. The setting is a wood-paneled room, with the upper portions of potted plants visible from behind a stack of boxes stamped with 'Campanile' and '1970'. One person is standing beside the table, looking through a copy of the yearbook while another sits on a chair, folding a cardboard box. Also visible are several bulletin boards covered with photographs and other material. Original resource is a color slide.
The 1970 Campanile yearbook is unique at Rice University, as the only year in which the yearbook was not published in a traditional book format. It is a box with multiple booklets inside and a 45rpm vinyl record. The first Homecoming and Reunion at Rice Institute occurred in 1919.

Intra-Asia shipping and logistics company SITC announced the completion on December 28 of the second phase of its logistics facility in Dinh Vu Port, Hai Phong City, Vietnam.
Phase two has an investment cost of US$6 million and occupies a total area of 50,000 square meters, which consists of a 44,800-square-meter depot, a 1,200-square-meter office building, and a 4,000-square-meter warehouse.
Both phases, with a combined area of 80,000 square meters, are now operational, said a company release.
The third stage, with an area of 63,000 square meters, is under construction and scheduled for completion in the second half of 2014.
Once finished, the supply chain hub will have an aggregate space of 143,000 square meters and a processing capacity of 720,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units annually.
SITC-Dinhvu Logistics Co. said it has already signed work contracts with several companies, including shipping lines Maersk Line, CMA CGM, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, and Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
Meanwhile, a new customs office has opened at the international seaport in Binh Duong, a province in southeastern Vietnam and one of the country's biggest economic hubs.
The customs office is seen to facilitate administrative and customs procedures for export-import activities in the region, according to local reports.
It will also cut transport cost and save time for traders because they no longer have to travel to Ho Chi Minh City to complete customs procedures.

Exploring China's Regional Cuisine With Quest Magazine
It's a shame that Chinese food has been long associated with lonely nights in and hungover dim sum brunches. The cuisine from one of the world's most ancient societies is really quite complex, steeped in thousands of years of tradition. In fact, the Chinese are so connected with what they eat that it's considered medicine.
A tour through China's three largest cities — Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai — with my younger brother Danny on assignment for Quest Magazine showcased that directly. (And how truly useful his Chinese classes in college truly could be! Seriously, he was a life saver!)
Looking beyond the lazy Susan, I found that the cooking in the world's most populated country is as varied as the regions themselves. I also realized that he and I could travel together internationally without wanting to rip each other's heads off. Who knew?
Anywho, Danny and I will be releasing some videos of the awesome food I ate in the coming weeks. But in the meantime, you can read the full story on China's regional dishes over at Quest Magazine by clicking this link, or by checking out the digital version below.

Personal projects are the perfect opportunity to show you at your most creative. They should be a combination of your personal passion and your beloved career.
Graphic designers are a rare breed. Almost all of them seem to love their job. Maybe not the company they work for necessarily, but the love of being a graphic designer. And that is why so many have personal projects.
Bear in mind that just because you are a graphic designer does not mean your personal project HAS to be a graphic design project. If you like baking, that's cool too. Don't be afraid to talk about whatever you like, no matter your passion (although discussing bondage might raise a few eyebrows), if you love something, then it is likely you will talk passionately about it. That in itself is interesting.
Talking about your personal projects will set you apart from the other candidates, it will help us to understand your personality.
Any personal hobby or passion can be brought together with graphic design. All you need to do is think of it as a commercial entity. If topiary floats your boat, then imagine yourself as a topiary consultant, the person to call to turn that unruly hedge into a flamingo. You get the idea.
So, let's say you do like baking, you can link your love of homemade muffins to your chosen career by designing the gift boxes, giving the enterprise and identity, building a website. Whatever.
I suggest you place this work in the centre of your portfolio. Check out What to put in your portfolio and get a job: Graphic Design for more tips on the order you might show your work.
Remember, anything that sets you apart from the crowd, anything that you care about and anything that you speak about will be interesting to the person that is interviewing you.

Cloud storage simply means that you are storing your files on a computer that happens to reside at Google, Microsoft or Apple or another data center. Even better, the hard drive that stores those files tends to be backed up and better protected than the hard drive in your PC or the Flash storage on your iPad, so you get the added value of protection. This makes cloud storage a more secure option than buying an external hard drive for your iPad. Cloud storage serves work by syncing your files to your devices. For a PC, that means downloading a piece of software that will set up a special folder on your hard drive. This folder acts like any other folder on your computer except for one difference: the files are regularly scanned and uploaded to the cloud server and new or updated files are downloaded back to the folder on your PC. For the iPad, this same thing happens within the app for the cloud service. You have access to the files you've saved on your PC or your smartphone and can easily save new photos and documents from your iPad to your cloud storage. There's no one "best" cloud storage option. Each has their good and bad points, so let's go over the best options and point out why they might be right (or wrong!) for you. 01 of 05 Apple iCloud Drive What We Like Seemless integration into iOS. Free storage available. Relatively inexpensive paid plans. What We Don't Like Lacks useful searching abilities. Can't edit files in-app. Apple's iCloud Drive is already part of the fabric of every iPad. iCloud Drive is where the iPad saves backups and is used for iCloud Photo Library. But is it worth expanding past the 5 GB of free storage offered to every iPad user? As expected, iCloud Drive is a good all-purpose storage solution for most iPad apps that have cloud capabilities. It is written into the DNA of the iPad, so it should be a good all-around solution. But it shines the best in an iOS-centric world, and for those who share the workload between PC, tablet, and smartphone, iCloud Drive tends to be the most limiting. It simply doesn't have the same document editing, in-document searching and other extras offered by the competition. One area where it rules the roost is refresh speed. It's lightning quick to get a file you just popped into your iCloud Drive folder on your PC to show up on your iPad. Despite the faults for folks in the non-iOS world, many people may want to bump up to the $.99 a month 50 GB plan simply for device backups and iCloud Photo Library. If your entire family uses iOS devices, it's easy to use more storage for backups than is freely available. While iCloud Photo Library has its faults, it is still the easiest way to keep cloud backups of your photos if you use the iPad and the iPhone. Other plan options include $2.99 a month for 200 GB of storage and $9.99 a month for 2 TB. 02 of 05 Dropbox What We Like Free plan available. Useful sharing options. Previews most file types. Camera upload support. Edits some files. Sorting options. What We Don't Like Can't preview archives. Pricey paid plans. Sometimes a tie-in to a platform is a major bonus. For example, iCloud Drive works great with Apple's iWork suite. And sometimes, not having a tie-in to a major platform is a major asset, which is the case with Dropbox. While the choice of cloud storage will come down to your particular needs, the big advantage of Dropbox is how well it works with all platforms. Do you use Microsoft Office a lot? No problem. More of an Apple iWork person? Not an issue. Dropbox falls on the more expensive side, giving only 2 GB of free space and charging $99 a year for 1 TB of storage, but it is worth it if you need the flexibility to work with any platform. Dropbox is one of the few cloud storage options that allow you to boot into Adobe Acrobat to edit PDF files on your iPad, and for light editing such as adding text or a signature, you don't even need to load Acrobat. Dropbox even comes with a document scanner, although if you have major needs in the scanning department it is better to go with a dedicated app. Dropbox also supports saving files offsite, sharing them across the web and has robust search capabilities. 03 of 05 Box What We Like Lots of free storage space. Advanced settings. Offline access. Simple and easy to use. Several search filtering options. Collaboration features. What We Don't Like Sometimes slow. Occasional syncing problems. It is fitting to put Box next on the list because it is the closest to Dropbox in terms of being an independent solution. It has many of the same features as Dropbox, including the ability to save documents for offline use and the ability to leave comments on documents, which is great for collaboration. Box also allows you to edit text files right in the iPad app, which is awesome. However, it doesn't allow PDF editing and isn't quite as ubiquitous in working with other apps as Dropbox. One really nice bonus of Box.net is the 10 GB of free storage. This is some of the highest of any cloud storage service. However, the free storage limits the file size to 250 MB. This makes it attractive for moving photos off the iPad. The premium plan ups the file size limit to 2 GB and the overall storage to 100 GB for just $5 a month. 04 of 05 Microsoft OneDrive What We Like Free plan is completely usable. Inexpensive paid plans. Drag-and-drop support. Built-in file previewing. Multiple account login. What We Don't Like Editing requires other apps. No advanced link sharing options. Few customizable settings. As expected, Microsoft's cloud storage options are awesome for heavy users of Microsoft Office. It has great interaction with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and other Microsoft products. It also does the best job of marking up PDF files without leaving the iPad app. Similar to Dropbox and a few other cloud services, you can set OneDrive to automatically back up your photos and videos. It is also very fast when loading previews for all files except those noted Microsoft files. For a Word document or Excel spreadsheet, OneDrive launches the Word or Excel app. This is great for times when you intend to edit the document, but for simply viewing documents, it makes the process much more awkward. OneDrive allows 5 GB of free storage and has a cheap $1.99 a month plan with 50 GB of storage. However, the best deal is the Office 365 Personal plan that gives 1 TB of storage and access to Microsoft Office for just $6.99 a month. 05 of 05 Google Drive What We Like Lots of free storage. Fluid drag-and-drop. Mimics the desktop version. Save files for offline access. Sharing options. Advanced search tool. What We Don't Like Storage is shared with other Google services. Doesn't automatically upload files. Editing documents requires other apps. Can't make new text files. As Microsoft's OneDrive is with Microsoft's apps, so is Google Drive with Google's apps. If you use Google Docs, Forms, Calendar, etc, Google Drive will certainly go hand-in-hand with these apps. But for everyone else, Google Drive is light on features, has a dull and uninspiring interface and is the slowest of any to sync your files. Google Drive does offer the ability to backup your photos automatically, and it is fairly quick when previewing document. But as irony would have it, the search capabilities are fairly lacking and other than editing Google documents in Google's apps, it is fairly light in the content creation department. Google Drive gives a whopping 15 GB of storage for free, but this is somewhat offset by Gmail eating into that storage -- something you'll experience if you tend to save emails indefinitely. Luckily, Google Drive offers a nice bargain with their 100 GB for $1.99 a month deal. The price jumps up to $9.99 a month for 1 TB, which is on par with other services, but if you only need that 100 GB, the $2 deal is very good. Continue Reading

Spain's reluctance to ask for a bailout was justified, said Angel Gurria, the secretary general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as there were signals that any calls for help by Madrid may be rejected.
Spain's government has been expected to seek help from the euro zone bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), to help ease pressure on its finances and economy, which is in recession . However, Madrid has so far resisted because such assistance comes in return for fiscal reforms.
"If you are the leader of a country that has done everything that had to be done, and then the ECB (European Central Bank ), works on the secondary markets for you and lowers those yields and (yet) you are told that you have to go and ask for a (bailout) and you say, 'OK, ' but then you're given very strong signals that if you go, you will be told, 'No.' How can you reconcile those two things?" Gurria told CNBC on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund's semi-annual meetings in Tokyo.
Germany, Europe's biggest creditor country, has suggested Spain should hold off on asking for aid. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said earlier this month that Spain is taking the right steps to overcome its fiscal problems and did not need to ask for a bailout. (Read More: Schäuble and Lagarde Clash Over Austerity.)
"This is not about Spain (being reluctant), this is about the rest of the (EU) members suggesting that if they come (for help), they will not be welcome, " Gurria said. "Now the worst thing that could happen for a leader, after these agonizing three months, is to make up his mind and ask for the money and be rejected. That would be ridiculed."
Intense Pressure
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has been under intense pressure in recent months, pushing through a series of austerity measures in the face of popular unrest, in an effort to bring down the budget deficit and reassure investors that the government can control its finances.
The ECB said last month that it would buy the bonds of those euro zone countries facing financial pressure once they applied to the region's bailout fund.
These steps have helped ease investor worries and push benchmark 10-year government bond yields, which soared above 7 percent in July, down to under 6 percent.
Still, concerns about Spain's economy remain and on Wednesday ratings agency Standard & Poor's cut Spain's sovereign debt rating to one notch above junk status. (Read More: Will S&P Ratings Cut Finally Push Spain Into a Bailout?)
"I think that the bond yields in Italy and Spain do not reflect what these countries have done. I think we are very good at punishing those countries that do not perform but, we are not good at supporting, and helping and even protecting those countries that are performing but under market pressure, " Gurria said.

Beloved Friends, It's that time again, TONIGHT 1.30.10 is the next Easiest & Best Date-Night Ever! We only have two spaces left, and this is the final Date-Night class that I will be teaching! This might be the moment that you acknowledge your desire to deepen your connection, this could be the night that you fall in love again... click here to register. See below for more information.
I hope to see you there and I wanted to share with you a very special, and simple exercise that will prepare you for a very intimate night together... I recommend doing this as a preparation for the event if you can make it, but even on it's own it is pretty exceptional.
This is an opportunity to explore your arousal…awakening the lower chakras and connecting with the power of our sexuality. Then we will begin to invite that energy to penetrate our entire body.
Most of us are fragmented in our bodies…we are talking heads, or if we are lucky we can even connect our head to our heart…but we are cut off from the lower half of our bodies. Our arousal and sexuality and life force move within us, but they are often caught in a 'holding pattern'. We continue to follow our sexual impulses, but we receive little lasting satisfaction from our encounters and they often leave us drained.
By releasing the blocks in the body we make way for the sexual life-force energy to rise up the spine. This translates as a genuine connection to ourselves and an experience of aliveness flowing through our entire body. Many of us are longing for this connection, but we are lacking in the tools to pave the way towards experiencing this. The Sexiest Meditation to try…
- Sitting comfortably, imagine being made love to in the most delicious way possible. Allow the fantasy to be fun, sexy, nasty…whatever it is that truly begins to awaken your genitals. (Try doing this without touching yourself).
- Once you are aroused, give up the fantasy and relax completely. You can stay sitting or lay down. Allow the aliveness that you have awakened to move through your body without interfering.
*If you would like to take it a bit deeper, you can do step 1 by sharing the fantasies with your beloved. Allow one partner to share fully, without interruption and then the other partner shares. Move to step 2 without any talking or touching.
This will begin to show your body what is possible when you allow the arousal to ripen within you, rather than expressing it through orgasm. Your body will gradually become more and more sensitive, as your sensitivity increases you can begin to experience an orgasmic sensation throughout your entire body.
Now it's time to leisurely dress and prepare to attend The Easiest & Best Date-Night with Charu to continue your evening of deepening and exploration. ;)
If you can't make it to the event, this is a great moment to spend some more quality time together massaging one another, making love, enjoying each other in any way that feels good for you.
...here is what some other couples have shared:
"Finding tantra was like finding a long lost friend, it felt very natural and normal for my boyfriend and I to be with one another in a more sensitive, present, meditative, energetic, and exploratory way but no one had given us permission before. It was in us! But we needed someone to show us the way.
We had a huge break through after just one meeting. Not just huge - gigantic!
Our relationship changed forever after just one session. The work touched us so deeply, so quickly, so powerfully, we could not believe it."
The Easiest & BEST Date-Night Ever! Learn How Tantric Meditation Can Enhance Your Love-Life...
Jan 30th . 6-8pm . West LA
$100 per couple
Honor your partnership by spending a special evening connecting and sharing your deep gratitude and love for one another. Not only will The Easiest & BEST Date Night be more adventurous than your typical dinner and a movie...it also has the power to change the dynamic of your relationship, giving you all of the tools you need to begin to approach lovemaking and all aspects of your relating in a new and 'tantric' way.
In a long-term relationship it can be difficult to make sure that you are consistently nourishing your love, connection and sex-life...this special evening offers a different Tantric meditation experience each month so you can effortlessly add a new dimension to your relating on a monthly basis.
By attending, you are taking an important step towards transforming your sex life, and perhaps even more importantly, you are taking a step towards an intimacy that few couples allow themselves to experience. This intimacy shifts the texture of everything you do in life and allows you to experience what you have truly been longing for in partnership.
This class is literally a step-by-step guide to support you in learning how to:
- free blocks in your own body that are hindering your capacity for pleasure
- deeply and intimately connect with your partner in totally 'out of the box' (no pun intended) ways
- learn a simple ritual that will connect you and your partner on a completely new level....one that can immediately be put into practice when you make love
*there is NO nudity or sexual contact in the class*
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Seriously….. has eight months already passed since my little man arrived?
Even though his teething is keeping me up at night, I am soaking in all that I can. I am throwing "sleep training" out of the window, because I LOVE rocking and cradling him while he falls asleep in my arms.
I love how he stretches for me and keeps crying until he is in my arms.
I love how he still likes to look at my face and thinks I am the funniest person in the world.
I love his cubby legs and how he lets me just kiss him all over.
It saddens me that life can get so busy with my other kids that the time I have with my little man quickly slips away.
BUT… the good thing is I am capturing all these wonderful moments and I know they will bring pure joy for many many many years to come!

A certain someone (who shall remain nameless) had a birthday recently and requested ribs, macaroni salad and carrot slaw for dinner. I was only too happy to oblige, seeing as how I show love through food. Plus, the Macaroni salad will also serve as my entry in this month's Grow Your Own blogging event, which I am hosting! That would be a two-fer in my book.
Macaroni Salad
Inspired by Simply Recipes, Mom's Macaroni Salad
- 1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked using instructions on package, rinsed in cold water and drained
- 1/2 cup chopped bread and butter pickles
- 1/4 cup pimentos (can substitute roasted red peppers)
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 TBS lemon juice
- 1/2-3/4 cup of light mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 TBS Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Mix macaroni, pickles, pimento, red onion, and parsley in large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika and Dijon mustard. Pour over macaroni mixture and toss well. Add salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
Note: I made this the night before, and the day I was going to serve it, I noticed that the salad was kind of dry. The pasta seemed to have soaked up all of the mayo I added! I added more until a creamy consistency was achieved.
This salad is posted as part of the Grow Your Own blogging event, as the red onions came from my garden this winter, parsley growing on my porch, and a batch of bread and butter pickles I made last summer.

Product Description
Make a spellbinding statement without saying a word. This real butterfly wing necklace is a spectacular accessory for the woman with exquisite taste. Tucked inside a sterling silver and glass pendant lies the wing of a Blue Mountain Butterfly (Papilio Ulysses species), which has been expertly preserved. It is suspended from a luminous sterling silver chain and is the prefect accessory to wear on any occasion. It can be worn with formal or casual wear. It also makes an enchanting gift idea for that special woman in your life. Also available as a single sided butterfly necklace.

Butterflies are symbols of transformation, growth, renewal, souls and spirits.

*PLEASE NOTE: Since butterfly wings are a natural material colors and patterns may vary slightly.
The wing area of the pendant measures about 1″ long x 1/2″ wide (29 x 21mm). Comes with 18 inch sterling silver chain.
Sterling silver and glass can be polished with soft cloth. Pendants are water resistant but NOT waterproof. Please remove before showering or swimming.
I have a Master's degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insects and care deeply about the environment and sustainability of my products. A majority of my specimens I use are raised on butterfly farms around the world and are NOT collected from the wild. These farms raise butterflies for live flying butterfly exhibits, museums and collectors. These farms can work as an important conservation tool by giving underprivileged populations a source of income and reason to protect rainforest habitat (where most butterflies are raised).

You know you're supposed to be drinking plenty of water, especially in this summer heat-- but what if you hate drinking plain water?? Just like any other habit, it helps to ease yourself into it! Here are 5 tips to help you stay hydrated plus what to do if you hate drinking plain water.
Flavor! I love adding fruit or citrus juice, herbs (like mint leaves), or even flavored stevia drops to my water. You don't actually have to drink water "plain" to get the benefits! Try using an infuser like the one linked below, or drink tea and then slowly dilute it.
Take it with you. Having a water bottle with you wherever you go is super helpful if you are trying to stay hydrated. Bottles like the swell ones below are perfect because they are insulated and won't leak in your purse!
Water first. If you like having a soda or cocktail when going out, drink a full glass of water before each beverage. This also works when eating at home! Having a glass of water before each meal has also been proven to assist in weight loss (#winwin).
Fill your bottles everyday. Simply making sure you have 2 or 3 filled and chilled water bottles ready at the start of each day can help you to drink more! I suggest either making this part of your evening routine and filling your bottles and sticking them in the fridge, or first thing in the morning so they are ready to go!
What about if you love bubbles?? If you love carbonation there are a million types of flavored sparkling waters. If you need to, add some stevia drops or a squeeze of lemon or grapefruit for a refreshing drink without the calories (or aspartame) of other bubbly beverages.

Previously we've discussed about few things you need to know before starting ember; followed by 'my first ember app'. Now the next thing which we're going to cover is the basic controllers and events which will help you to make your app live.
While discussing, we will use the same app structure which we used in "My first ember app".
What are controllers?
Controllers are the parts of your app, where you will design your logic. Model represents only data and handlebar templates are logic less. So controller is the main thing which makes your app LIVE.
The templates or views know about the controllers and controllers have knowledge about the models. But the vice versa is not true. That means, the models can't say which controllers are reading or making any changes to them. Neither the controllers know which templates /views are using them to display their properties. So when you set a property in your template, suppose it is {{query}}; it automatically means {{controller.query}}. And if you write {{model.query}} in means the 'query' property of the model which is assigned to the controller; similar to {{controller.model.query}}.
Defining controllers with property and action
To define a controller, you must extend any of the ember's controller classes. Below we've extended the Em.Controller class. There are few more controller classes also which we will discuss in the last section of this article.
AppName.ApplicationController = Em.Controller.extend({ Property1: true, property2: "a string", property3: 123, demoFunction: function(){ // do something }, actions: { myActionFunc: function() { alert("action has been completed"); } } });
As you can see, to make a controller you have to extend the 'Em.Controller' class (There are few other controller classes too. ArrayController and ObjectController). Then inside your controller you can define your own properties and can initialize them with different values; string, Boolean, number or whatever. You can define a function similarly (as 'demoFunction'). But if you want to make a function which you will use as an action of an event in your template, you should define it inside the 'action' object of your controller. Otherwise it will through exceptions and warnings (check your browser console), though the end user won't face much problem.
Using controller properties in Template
You just have to write the property name in double curly braces in your template, and it will automatically reflect the value when you will run the file in the browser. Few examples:

{{property1}}

{{controller.property2}}
 {{input type="text" value=property3}}
You also can assign action to different elements for various events. Here are few examples:
<button {{action 'myActionFunc' on='click'}}>Button Name</button> <button {{action 'myActionFunc' on='click mouseEnter mouseLeave'}}>Button Name</button>
Instead of click event, you can bind the action to some other events also; like mouseLeave, mouseEnter etc. Or if you want you can bind the same action for multiple events. But different actions for different events in not allowed in templates. You can do it by making a view object or there are few tricky ways too.
An example / demo
We've made a very simple show hide button to show and hide the contents of model alternatively.
HelloEmber.ApplicationController = Em.Controller.extend({ isShown: true, actions: { showhide: function() { this.set('isShown',!this.isShown); } } });
Initially isShown property is set to true. And inside action object, we've defined a function named 'showhide'. Each time this function is called, the value of isShown will be toggled.
<button {{action 'showhide' on='click'}}> {{#if isShown}} Hide {{else}} Show {{/if}} </button>

 {{#if isShown}} Now it's displaying the model contents...
 {{#each item in model}}
{{item}}
 {{/each}} {{else}} Everything is hidden now. {{/if}}
Action 'showhide' is bind to the button event 'click'; and button name is either 'Show' or 'Hide' according to the value of the controller's property 'isShown'.
Same if else logic is used to design the content displaying part of the template. And to show model data we've discussed in my first ember app.

Kate Daniels is worried. A powerful wave of magic known as the flare is going to strike Atlanta and make possible for malevolent deities to walk among the humans, spreading chaos and death, and somehow in the center of the crisis is the street urchin Kate's looking after. And the world's gone mad.
"I needed to find Julie, find her mom, convince a sociopath to donate some blood for the good of mankind, and deal with a tentacled atrocity swaddled in cloth and his rabid mermaids. I needed coffee."
Magic Burns was so.bloody.entertaining!! I love Kate's narration, she's oozing sarcasm and her retorts are always hilarious! It's a book that keeps you glued to the story from the start, there's no retrieve from action and suspense! The world-building was solid, most of my questions were answered and I have to say, it's freaking genious! I mean of course I'd prefer to step into a giant turtle's throat than to live in magic stricken Atlanta, but I bow to Ilona Andrews's creativity and storytelling! Blood and gore and awesome battles, a parade of cool characters (I hate to admit it but I enjoy Ghastek so much), mythical creatures (finally an author that got right Greek mythology) and a huge dose of badassery and that's it, you get obsessed! And there's also Curran.
"Not only will you sleep with me, but you will say 'please.'"
The gray-eyed homicidal SEXY maniac makes me swoon. The sexual tension between Kate and Curran is killing me, their will-or-won't-they status is a slow death. They fight and insult and infuriate and drive each other crazy but at the same time there are sparks and butterflies! And I scream at them for not seeing the obvious and I'm like
"I turned around and looked at the scenery. Having a streak of drool hang from my mouth would seriously cramp my style. Besides, if he full-out flexed, I would probably faint. Or jump of the building."
Fine, fine I'll stop gushing about Curran. But I'm telling you guys, the second book was better than the first and I can't wait to read the third! It seems that magic burns and I'm totally fried.

Who can forget the 1980s; a decade of perms, fingerless gloves, pre-ripped clothes, and shoulder pads – not only for your wardrobe, but your rides as well. And let's not forget, BMW's purposeful boxy E30 3-Series that served as the ultimate yuppie's chariot during those years.
Ironically, nowadays, unmolested (manual) E30s are falling into the hands of automotive enthusiasts and connoisseurs who fancy the 3-Series' uncomplicated pureness, and are driving up prices, but some examples serve to remind us of its tackier nature and allure within the tuning communities of the 1980s and 1990s.
German tuners like Koenig, Folger and Rieger were at their heights creating ridiculously wide kits, usually adorned with side strakes unashamedly copied from the 1980s supercar poster child, the Ferrari Testarossa.
In fact, the white 1987 BMW 325i Convertible that's up for sale on eBay right now originally came with those faux side vents, but the current owner says they were "deleted to give more of a BMW M3 Style look". The seller doesn't say which widebody kit was used here, however, the styling of the fenders and bumpers point to one of Folger's offerings.
It's got a "month old" paintjob together with new tires size 225/15 front and 275/15 rear, with the seller adding that the straight-six is "for now, running good".
We'll leave the rest of the commentary to you.

US$ 20m Drishyam fund for 10 Indian films in two years, releases showreel
MUMBAI: Mumbai-based Drishyam Films is set to launch a $20m Production Fund to facilitate the growth of independent Indian cinema and to escalate it to a global reach.
The fund will be spent in developing and producing cutting edge original content that will be true to the Drishyam vision of cinema, i.e. local in its setting but global in its appeal. It will be put to use for producing 10 independent Indian films over the next two years.
Manish Mundra, founder of Drishyam Films, expects to announce the first projects under the fund in the early 2018. In addition to the production of the films, the fund will also be used to develop Drishyam Films' VFX Studio in Mumbai.
The production fund, which is raised independently by Manish Mundra, will help Drishyam Films towards accomplishing their goals of building a platform for unique voices of Indian independent cinema and create global content with rich Indian flavours.
Mundra says: "This fund has been set up with the objective of taking Indian cinema to the next level internationally. We plan to take our focus on content driven cinema and merge it with high technical finesse to make films that will travel across the world."
The studio which has produced some of the most acclaimed and globally feted Indian films recently such as Ankhon Dekhi, Masaan, Dhanak, Umrika and Waiting also released a special showreel that celebrates their impressive body of work, and also gives audiences a sneak preview of their forthcoming releases.
Apart from the fund, Mundra has two new features going into production over the summer – Mohamed Gani's Cycle, about the importance of the humble bicycle in small-town India, and Ganesh Shetty's Anonymous, about a woman and her relationship with society as she undergoes an abortion. Both films are being readied for festival submission by the end of the year.
Drishyam Films has already had a great start to 2017, with their next release Newton starring Rajkummar Rao winning the CICAE Award at the Berlin International Film Festival 2017 and the Jury Prize for Best Film at the 41st Hong Kong Film Festival, 2017. More recently, their films won big at the 64th National Film Awards where Dhanak won Best Children's Film, while Kadvi Hawa bagged a Special Mention.

As Winter Hangs On, Use Fireplaces Safely
Late winter blizzards, variable temperatures, and early spring windstorms have forced households in many parts of the country to use their fireplaces more and more. And when storms knock out power, the fireplace can also become the primary source of warmth.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, more than a third of Americans use fireplaces and other fuel-fired appliances as primary home heating sources, particularly in rural areas. Unfortunately, heating fires account for about one in three residential home fires in rural areas every year, often because of a buildup of creosote, a dark brown or black flammable tar deposited from wood smoke on the walls of a chimney, in chimneys and stovepipes.
Keep your fireplace a safe and warm place for your family with these tips:
• Have the chimney inspected and cleaned annually by a professional. Creosote and loose bricks can block chimneys, creating a risk not only of fire but carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Remember to open the flue on the fireplace before starting the fire and leave it open until the fire has completely stopped burning.
• Leave glass doors open while burning a wood fire and use a metal mesh screen to catch burning embers or shifting logs.
Never leave the fireplace or children unattended when using the fireplace, while the embers in a wood fireplace are still burning or for an hour after turning off a gas fireplace. Do you make the best use of those fireplace tools next to your fireplace? Watch this 3-minute U.S. Fire Administration video to learn how to use fireplace tools to reduce the risk of fire and burns.

Currently, we have scholarship donors who have been awarded prestigious honors including the Pulitzer Prize, and I have been asking them to donate items to auction. The money received will go directly towards their scholarship. Hopefully, this will be up and running by next month through our charity site and our online charity event sponsored by the Kansas City Lyric Opera called Sing My Song.
The Kansas City Vocal Institute has received much attention from area teachers, performers, and educators. We are working to provide services for the Kansas City area musicians with teaching and job opportunities. If the Institute continues to garner support, we hope to provide more opportunities to these musicians in the coming months.
KCVI also has updated enrollment and payment sites to make the process simpler and more secure. We are also offering more scholarship opportunities as well as discounts through several media and internet sources. And we are adding classes to the list of services we offer.
The first class we are offering is called Loud and Proud and is taught by Dr. Anne Walker-Willyard. Loud and Proud is a group voice class for Elementary age children. It is divided into K-3 and 4-6 classes and meets after school and in the evenings at Faith Lutheran Church in Prairie Village. Each session will last 6 weeks and conclude with a concert. This is very exciting for all of us especially because we were able to keep it very affordable and provide financial aid to families in need as well.
You can now follow us on myspace and we continually post discounts on all of our media platforms, so please visit www.kcvocalinstitute.com/Follow to catch up on everything we are offering.
Stay tuned for more exciting news and plans including a Spring Golf Tournament, 2011 Charity Gala Concert, and our Charity Auctions to begin soon featuring items from some of the world's most influential people.

Mumbai, July 26 (IANS) Indian equity markets traded at a fresh high during the mid-afternoon session on Wednesday on expectations of healthy quarterly results, coupled with broadly positive cues and intense buying activity witnessed in metal, automobile and capital goods stocks.
However, some gains were capped as investors continued to book profits. Caution also prevailed in the global markets ahead of the outcome of the two-day US Federal Open Market Committee meet later in the evening.
The wider Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) traded above the 10,000-level and scaled an intra-day high of 10,010.80 points.
At 12.40 p.m., the Nifty rose by 43.45 points or 0.44 per cent to trade at 10,008 points.
The 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at 32,255.99 points, traded at 32,348.93 points — up 120.66 points or 0.37 per cent — from its previous close at 32,228.27 points.
The Sensex has so far touched a high of 32,361.61 points and a low of 32,226.08 points during the intra-day trade.
The BSE market breadth was bullish with 1,466 advances and 1,004 declines.
"India's NSE Nifty index hit the 10,000-mark for the first time on Tuesday, further cementing its position as one of Asia's best performing stock market gauges. India's GDP growth to stay ahead of China, IMF retains forecast," Dhruv Desai, Director and Chief Operating Officer of Tradebulls, told IANS.
"The advance-decline ratio on the NSE stood at 19 advances, 31 declines and 1 unchanged. Top gainers on NSE were Infratel, Indbulhsgfin and Vedanta, while top losers were Zeel, EicherMotors and Tata motors."
On Tuesday, the benchmark indices closed on a flat note with marginal losses as investors booked profits. However, both the NSE Nifty and the BSE Sensex scaled fresh highs during intra-day trade.
The Nifty fell by 1.85 points or 0.02 per cent to close at 9,964.55 points, after touching a fresh high of 10,011.30 points during intra-day trade.
The Sensex, too, touched a record high of 32,374.30 points during the intra-day trade, and closed at 32,228.27 points.

Fighting the Laws of Physics
You only have to drive on the nation's highways and Interstates a few moments to understand just how much of the traffic we encounter involves commercial trucks and eighteen wheelers. There are more than 1.9 million semi-trailer trucks registered in the U.S. and 3.2 million licensed truck drivers. These drivers cover more than 150 billion miles a year and carry 68 percent of all goods sold. A fully-loaded semi will often weigh in at 80,000 pounds.
Those numbers provide some insight into why we encounter so many trucks. It also explains why we can be intimidated in our puny autos that average only 2,000 to 3,000 pounds. The simple facts of physics are that when cars are involved in accidents with big rigs, the results are not very pretty. In fact, a disproportionate number of traffic fatalities are caused by accidents with these commercial trucks. While large trucks comprise only 4 percent of total traffic, they are involved in more than 13 percent of all accidents causing fatalities.
Understanding the Causes
Commercial trucking is important to our economy and most drivers of the large trucks are professionals who attempt to drive safely. However, these drivers and their companies are under immense pressure to generate profits and accumulate as many miles as they can in as short a time as possible. Handling massive rigs at high speeds means that only a small error can have catastrophic consequences.
In fact, the National Transportation Safety Board spends a lot of time and money evaluating every truck accident in fine detail. These experts attempt to evaluate the causal factors in such crashes and take steps to deal with them. Just 15 years ago, the NTSB issued a warning about one of the most concerning factors, driver fatigue. It found that 30 to 40 percent of all diesel truck accidents could be attributed in part to driver fatigue. This means that drivers had manhandled 80,000 pound loads for too many hours. While the NTSB continues to modify regulations dealing with total hours a driver can be on the road, the problems persist.
According to the NTSB, other factors that contribute to truck accidents include:
- Lack of training and experience
- Speeding
- Inadequate maintenance of the truck
- Worn or defective tires
- Poor driving conditions
- Overloaded and improperly loaded trucks
- Failure to yield right-of-way
- Aggressive and reckless driving
When Accidents Occur
There are experienced personal injury lawyers that know how to properly investigate and deal with an auto-truck accident. You should understand that the large trucking companies have attorneys and insurance personnel on call 24/7 to protect their rights in the event of an accident. If you or a loved one is involved in a collision with a truck, the first step in protecting your rights is contacting a qualified attorney to seek advice and guidance.

NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwired - Jul 10, 2013) - CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) (
The contract renewal, which is effective July 1, 2013, includes the following provisions:
1. Up to 8,244 beds are made available to CDCR for the next three years at the following three facilities which currently house approximately 7,450 California inmates:
2. Allows CCA and CDCR to transition California inmates currently housed at our 1,596-bed Red Rock Correctional Center to other CCA facilities as necessary, upon mutual agreement. Red Rock currently houses approximately 1,550 California inmates.
As previously disclosed, CCA is working with California to develop a transition plan to remove all of its inmates from our Red Rock Correctional Center before the end of the year, in order to make room for inmates under our new contract with the State of Arizona effective January 1, 2014. While the transition plan may result in the loss of some or all of the inmates currently housed at the Red Rock facility, the transition plan could include retention and transfer of inmates to other CCA facilities.
Damon Hininger, president and CEO, stated, "We appreciate the opportunity to continue our relationship with the state of California. This partnership exemplifies the flexibility that CCA is able to provide CDCR to safely and securely manage its populations."
About CCA
CCA, a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT), is the nation's largest owner of partnership correction and detention facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States, behind only the federal government and three states. We currently operate 66 facilities, including 51 facilities that we own or control, with a total design capacity of approximately 92,000 beds in 20 states and the District of Columbia. CCA specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities and providing inmate residential services for governmental agencies. In addition to providing the fundamental residential services relating to inmates, our facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, religious services, life skills and employment training and substance abuse treatment.
