On hand at the Geneva Motor Show are two new 991-based Rufs, the Rt 35 Anniversary (green, above) and the RGT 8 (yellow). The Rt35 is a rolling celebration of Ruf's 35 years in business and beats Porsche to the punch by offering a twin turbo kit for the Carrera S, outputting 621 horsepower and an equally astounding 608 pound feet of torque through a standard seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Ruf isn't citing a 0-60 time, but claims the Rt35 tops out at a little over 205 mph.
The original RGT 8 debuted here in Geneva two years ago and shocked Porsche purists by packing a race-derived V8 where the flat-six would traditionally reside. This updated version based on the 991 uses a similar 4.5-liter V8 good for 543 hp and 368 lb-ft of twist, all routed through a proper six-speed manual gearbox.
Finally, Ruf has updated its flagship CTR 3 in a new Clubsport variant, with copious quantities of carbon fiber both inside and out and powered provided by a twin-turbo flat-six outputting 740 hp and 708 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed sequential gearbox puts the power down, further ensuring its status as a track machine that's barely suitable for a run to the corner store. Bonus Ruf porn in the video below.
RUF is proud to introduce its newest model, the RXL. An extended wheelbase version of the Porsche Panamera sedan, the RXL, features the iconic RUF 5-spoke, 22 inch alloy wheels and engine performance upgrades. As befitting any extended wheelbase luxury sedan, the RXL features extensive interior luxury upgrades to suit the client's tastes.
RUF will be presenting the new CTR 3 Clubsport. This new version of the CTR 3, the Clubsport model features significant styling enhancements in Carbon-Fibre over the current CTR 3.
The partially assembled CTR 3 on display allows you to view the technical innovations and engineering expertise that confirms the CTR 3's "DNA" as uniquely RUF.
With the introduction of the Porsche 991 platform, all RUF models based on the 911 will be built on the new platform and will carry over all Porsche 997 based enhancements and concepts.
In tribute to RUF's 35 years of history and success with Turbo engines, RUF introduces the Rt 35 Anniversary. An original 1977 RUF Turbo 3.3 will be on display to illustrate the origins of RUF's history and success with turbocharged engines.
The Coupé, with RUF styling cues of that era, has an upgraded engine that was mated to a RUF 5‑speed transmission. When combined they created unparalleled performance and maximum driving confidence.
The new generation RGT 8, based on the Porsche 991, with its RUF V8, will also be on display at Geneva.
RUF CTR 3 Clubsport
The styling of the CTR 3 evokes the mid-engine Le Mans Coupes of the 1950s. The new Clubsport package further plays on the classic 1950s styling cues with the addition of Carbon-Fibre enhancements to the fenders, door sills, rear deck lid and the roof mounted air-duct. The Clubsport package also features a functional rigid rear spoiler.
The partially assembled CTR 3 allows you to view this car's technical innovation.
The CTR 3's extraordinary performance make it RUF's flagship model.

The Rt 35 Anniversary is based on the Porsche 991. Its Turbo power-train is offered only in rear wheel drive. The engine produces 630 hp and is available with the PDK transmission ensuring outstanding performance and driver comfort. The name is derived from RUF's 35 year history and expertise with turbo-charged engines.
Displayed beside the Rt 35 Anniversary is the 1977 RUF Turbo 3.3. The 3.3 litre engine produced 303 hp and was mated to RUF's own 5‑speed transmission. This specific car was the original one tested by the German car magazine, Auto Motor and Sport. This car was bought back and restored by RUF Automobile.

The flexibility of the V8 engine delivers extraordinary performance and a sound track that only a high‑revving, flat‑crank V8 can produce.
The V8 engine was inspired by racing technology and features hemispherically arranged valves, 180 degree "flat" crankshaft, dry sump lubrication and direct drive ancillaries eliminating all drive belts. The RGT 8 is available with only a six-speed manual transmission powering the rear wheels.

Most China Stocks Rise; Drugmakers Advance, Developers Decline
Most China stocks rose as health-care and consumer companies gained on recommendations by Shenyin & Wanguo Securities Co. and China International Capital Corp. Developers extended yesterday's plunge on new loan curbs.
Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co. jumped the 10 percent daily limit. Beijing Yanjing Brewery Co., China's third-biggest brewer, surged the most since September 2008 after net income gained. China Vanke Co., the biggest listed property developer, and Gemdale Corp. dropped more 3 percent as the government stepped up measures to limit property speculation.
"The market is turning a bit more defensive and investors are switching to pharmaceutical and consumer stocks," said Zhao Zifeng, who helps oversee about $10.2 billion at China International Fund Management Co. in Shanghai. "Investors are worried about the potential slowdown in the economy because of the crackdown on the property market."
About two stocks rose for each one that fell on the Shanghai Composite Index, which lost 0.76 point, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,979.53 at the close. The CSI 300 Index slid 0.1 percent to 3,173.37. Futures on the CSI 300 expiring in May, the most active contract, added 0.5 percent to 3,216.6.
The Shanghai index slumped 4.8 percent yesterday, the most in eight months, on concern a government crackdown on the property market will increase bad loans and damp consumer spending. It has dropped 9.1 percent this year, the world's third-worst performer, as the government unwound monetary stimulus to avert asset-price bubbles after banks extended record credit last year.
Drugmakers Gain
Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical surged 10 percent to 27.57 yuan. Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co. jumped 8 percent to 21.97 yuan, the most since November 2008. Yunnan Baiyao Group Co., a manufacturer of traditional Chinese medicines, added 4.9 percent to 63.33 yuan.
Shenyin & Wanguo Securities analysts led by Zhu Anping recommended in a report today that investors buy consumer-related shares in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and apparel and avoid stocks related to the property industry.
Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery Joint-Stock Co. gained 8.2 percent to 146.87 yuan, an 11th day of gains, while Yanjing Brewery, China's third-biggest beermaker, added 8.3 percent to 22.80 yuan after saying first-quarter profit rose 27 percent.
CICC said health-care and consumer-related stocks are likely to outperform as property and banks "remain under pressure" due to policies to tackle rising home prices.
China ordered developers today not to take deposits for sales of uncompleted apartments without proper approval and barred them from charging "abnormally high" prices, stepping up efforts to prevent a property bubble.
Developers Drop
"The tightening measures will affect market sentiment in the short term," said CICC analysts Gao Ting and Wang Hanfeng, in a report today. "In the longer term, curbing home prices may increase the ability of the people to spend in other areas."
Vanke dropped 3.3 percent to 8.03 yuan, extending yesterday's 8.2 percent tumble. Gemdale, the fourth-largest developer by market value, lost 3.4 percent to 11.22 yuan, the lowest since May 11. China Merchants Property Development Co. fell 5.8 percent to 18.01 yuan.
China in the last week has announced measures to damp real estate prices including banning banks from financing purchases of third homes and higher down payments and rates for second homes. Prices in 70 major cities rose by a record 11.7 percent in March.
Fund Purchase
A gauge tracking developers listed on the Shanghai Composite slipped 2.2 percent, declining for a fifth day. That's its longest stretch of losses since a six-day drop in December 2008. The measure trades at 22.8 times reported earnings, the lowest since March 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
China Asset Management Co., the nation's biggest mutual fund company, bought developers in its flagship fund in the first quarter, predicting "gentle" tightening this year, according to the company's Web site.
Wang Yawei cut the proportion of equities in his China AMC Large-Cap Select Fund, the best-performing China-based fund over the past five years, to 88.6 percent as of March 31, compared with 93 percent in the preceding quarter. He sold manufacturers as speculation increased that China may revalue its currency.
Chinese property stocks are becoming "more attractive" after government curbs on bank lending drove valuations to a year-low and made interest rate increases less likely, Martin Currie said.
The following companies were among the most active in China's markets. Stock symbols are in brackets after companies' names.
China Eastern Airlines Corp. (600115 CH), the nation's second-largest carrier, advanced 4.6 percent to 8.92 yuan after saying first-quarter profit jumped 19-fold.
China Shipbuilding Industry Co. (601989 CH), the nation's largest maker of vessel equipment, added 1.5 percent to 6.80 yuan after saying first-quarter net income rose 7.3 percent to 315.9 million yuan. The company's 2009 annual net income rose 22 percent to 1.5 billion yuan, it said.
Datang International Power Generation Co. (601991 CH), China's second-biggest electricity producer, slid 3.7 percent to 7.89 yuan, the most since June 18. Its 2009 net income rose to 1.6 billion yuan. That was below the median estimate of 1.7 billion yuan in a Bloomberg survey of nine analysts.
Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. (601318 CH), China's second-biggest insurer, rose 2.9 percent to 50.62 yuan after President Louis Cheng forecast "stable" profit this year.

Do any airlines still allow smoking on-board international flights, or is this something that has been banned across the board everywhere? If this is because of fire hazard regulations, what about e-cigarettes?
I believe this chart will be of use to you.
I used to wonder why they even bothered to have "No smoking" signs, but now I realise - Air Algeria, Cubana, Garuda, Iran Air and more still allow smoking in certain sections.
The chart is quite old, but my friend flew Cubana at the end of 2010 and confirmed that there was smoking onboard his flight then.
According to Answers.com:
Nosmoke.org recognises that 2010 marked the 20 year Anniversary of smokefree U.S. domestic flights, and the ten year anniversary of smokefree flights in and out of the United States.
And according to the New York Times, smoking was ALWAYS permitted on the Concorde.
In addition, several flyertalk forums refer to attempts to start smokers-only airlines, although these ideas seem to largely have been all hot air, gone up in smoke, or flamed out...
Even if the airline permits it, local airspace laws may not. For example, Australian federal law makes it a criminal offence to smoke in any aircraft while flying in or through Australian airspace. It is also a criminal offence to disregard an instruction from flight crew (such as being asked to not to smoke or use an nicotine inhaler or electronic cigarette). You may find your one act ends up breaking several laws.
In addition, some countries have treaties which ban smoking on flights between those two countries. Again for example, it is illegal to smoke at any time on any flight between Australia and the United States, and if you do you may find law enforcement waiting for you at your destination.
EDIT: The quoted article dates back 2009. As e-cigarettes become more popular, this answer may be less acurate.
Electronic cigarette might be an option on some non-smoking non-US flights. The best is to ask to cabin members:
For me as a flight attendant, my biggest concerns is not about the cigarette. But the smoke. Fire is on the top of the hazard list. And we identify it by the smoke (and the scent). We are trained to spot smoke, identify the source and to drop everything to handle it immediately. So its not about the nicotine
I just have to say it again one more time, any kind of smoke requires the crew to check and ensure that its not a hazard. Fire is a life threatening hazard that can be identify by the smoke. So forbidding e-cigarettes is not about the nicotine. Its about the smoke you will produce :)
Edit: I just found out about smokeless cigarette... To be honest, I have no idea about this one. I imagine if one passenger told me about it I wouldn't know what to do to keep the policy on.

HMV boss Trevor Moore was among the casualties as another swath of redundancies was confirmed at the failed music chain.
Moore was one of 60 staff axed by administrators Deloitte on Friday across HMV's head office network at Eastcastle Street in London, Marlow and Solihull.
The job losses come on top of an announcement earlier last week that 66 of its 220 shops are to close over the next two months, leaving 930 staff facing redundancy. Moore's exit comes weeks after he said he was "convinced" the future of the chain could be secured.
On the day HMV went into administration, he said the chain's bosses remained "passionate" about the retailer and would "like to be involved in the business going forward if the opportunity presented itself".
Talks are continuing between Deloitte and restructuring firm Hilco – the group behind HMV Canada – which has bought the company's debt. But any rescue attempt will see HMV emerge as a far smaller business.
Nick Edwards, joint administrator, said Friday's redundancies were a "difficult decision, but a necessary one in restructuring the business".
Moore – who also previously headed up failed camera chain Jessops – was the last of the board members to be made redundant after HMV hit the wall last month.

White-faced sakis (Pithecia pithecia) are Neotropical seed predators that ingest a mixed diet of fruit, leaves, and insects. We report timed feeding data for a 12-mo period on a group of 8 white-faced sakis occupying an island—a portion of their original home range—in Lago Guri, Venezuela. We collected fruit and leaf samples, dried them in the field, and analyzed them to measure nutrient content—free simple sugars (FSS), crude protein (CP), lipids, and total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC)—and the presence of antifeedants: total tannins, condensed tannins and dietary fiber. We weighted nutrients and antifeedants by timed feeding samples to estimate actual intake. Then we compared intake among months and seasons. Compared with other frugivores, the average monthly intake of lipids was extremely high (16.1% by dry matter estimate(DM)), attributed to ingestion of young seeds and other plant parts that were relatively high in lipids, e.g., seed arils. Intake of FSS and CP were relatively low: 3.4% DM and 6.5% DM, respectively. The average intake of total cell wall or neutral detergent fiber (NDF = 38.4% DM) was only slightly lower than the range reported for colobines. Average intake of tannins was within the range reported for cercopithecines: condensed tannins of 3.3% Quebracho units standard (QU). We suggest that white-faced sakis accept a trade-off for food items that are fibrous or astringent if they are also rich in lipids. White-faced sakis expand the typical definition of primate fruit-eater in their high lipid-relatively high NDF-low FSS diet.

In this paper we present an experimentally determined phase diagram of binary blends of the diblock copolymers poly(styrene)-poly(isoprene) and poly(isoprene)-poly(ethylene oxide). At high temperatures, the blends form an isotropic mixture. Upon lowering the temperature, the blend macro-phase separates before micro-phase separation occurs. The observed phase diagram is compared to theoretical predictions based on experimental parameters. In the low-temperature phase the crystallisation of the poly(ethylene oxide) block influences the spacing of the ordered phase.

Slide this one into the VCR and sit back to hear these four tales of perversion. My personal favorite is "The Dildo Man Cometh," the tale of a desperate woman who calls a plumber to fix her "hole." But this is only the beginning.
In "Ring Hole," Kimi is the young, married dingbat who lost her wedding ring when she was buttfucked last night. She calls on two plumbers to not only find the ring, but have a pleasurable time in the process. Then there's "Bound for Cream," a very psychotic story of a man who needs to get his mind together, but finds a tied-up nympho in the house. Needless to say, her craze for whipped cream gets the best of him and his laughing gas addiction. Strange, very strange.
"West Side Bums" is by far the most grueling of all four stories, primarily because of the "lick the dirt of my stinky asshole" and "tongue wash my fucking balls" dialogue. Two dirty, nasty bums suck and fuck this little college coed, and get her rather polluted in the process.

I installed Adhesive a few months back and it worked fine ever since. But lately I realized it's not a great plugin, as it interferes with the RSS feed and other things.
I went to deactivate it, and upon reloading my site, I got a 500 server error. This occured on my index page and any other page that contained posts. Any normal "page" didn't contain the error and loaded fine.
Any idea on how to delete this plugin safely? I want to just delete it and hope the problem goes away, but I'm afraid it could kill my site. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

SEOUL, Aug. 23 (Yonhap) -- North Korea criticized Friday the ongoing investigation by the United Nations into human rights conditions in the communist country, warning the probe will dampen the thawing inter-Korean relations.
Three members of the Commission of Inquiry (COI), under the U.N.'s Human Rights Council, arrived in Seoul last week for a 10-day visit to investigate and compile reports on human rights conditions in the North.
As part of the trip, the commission has been holding a series of public hearings since Tuesday to collect evidence from dozens of defectors, activists and North Korea experts. It is the first systematic review of its kind.
Collecting such information on the North's human rights situations "equals an anti-reunification activity that dampens the inter-Korean dialogue mood," the North's propaganda website Uriminjokkiri said in its commentary.
Calling the ongoing inspection "the tinderbox of confrontation," the North warned that the continued probe "would bring the thawing ties back to the point of confrontation."
North Korea has not mentioned the ongoing inspections by the U.N. panel so far, which indicates that it has refrained from lashing out at South Korea and the international community to maintain the current trend of positive inter-Korean relations.
Following last week's deal to restart the joint industrial complex in the North's border town of Kaesong, there have been a series of signs of improved relations. For one, the Red Cross talks have been underway on Friday, aimed at discussing the reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War.
North Korea has been accused of grave human rights abuses ranging from holding hundreds of thousands of political prisoners in concentration camps to committing torture and carrying out public executions. The country, however, has denied the accusations, calling them U.S.-led propaganda to topple its regime.
Meanwhile, Pyongyang spoke highly of the recent deal to resume operations at the Kaesong Industrial Complex, and expressed hope for "further agreements on several other proposals."
"We have a strong will to continue the momentum of the agreement (on the Kaesong park) ... To that end, we've put forth several proposals," said the Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the ruling Workers' Party of (North) Korea.
Apart from the ongoing talks to arrange the family reunions, discussions are under way on when and how the two sides can sit down for talks aimed at restarting tours to the North's scenic resort of Mount Kumgang.
"If our proposals are realized, inter-Korean relations will leap forward and pave the way for national reunification," it added.
South Korea suspended tours to the mountain resort after a South Korean woman was shot dead by a North Korean border guard there in 2008. The project had provided a legitimate source of hard currency to the impoverished communist country.

Scaling Down: The Subnational Comparative Method

Subnational units of analysis play an increasingly important role in comparative politics. Although many recent studies of topics such as ethnic conflict, economic policy reform, and democratization rely on comparisons across subnational political units, insufficient attention has been devoted to the methodological issues that arise in the comparative analysis of these units. To help fill this gap, this article explores how subnational comparisons can expand and strengthen the methodological repertoire available to social science researchers. First, because a focus on subnational units is an important tool for increasing the number of observations and for making controlled comparisons, it helps mitigate some of the characteristic limitations of a small-N research design. Second, a focus on subnational units strengthens the capacity of comparativists to accurately code cases and thus make valid causal inferences. Finally, subnational comparisons better equip researchers to handle the spatially uneven nature of major processes of political and economic transformation.

|Fabio Fazio
30 November 1964
Savona, Liguria, Italy
|Television presenter
|Years active
|Gioia Selis (1994-present)
Fabio Fazio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfaːbjo ˈfattsjo]) (born 30 November 1964) is an Italian television presenter. After debuting in 1982, he presented many TV programs, including Quelli che... il Calcio, Vieni via con me and Quello che (non) ho. Since 2003, he presents the weekly talk show Che tempo che fa, broadcast by Rai 3.
He presented the Sanremo Music Festival in 1999 and in 2000. In June 2012, RAI confirmed he will present his third edition of the Italian singing competition in 2013.
Early life[edit]
Fabio Fazio was born in Savona on 30 November 1964.[1] After receiving the high school diploma at the liceo classico Gabriello Chiabrera in Savona, Fazio started studying Law, following his mother's suggestions.[2] He later decided to leave his law studies, enrolling in the University of Genoa, where he graduated with 110/110 in Literature, discussing a thesis about literary elements in songs written by Italian cantautori.[2][3]
First radio and TV appearances[edit]
In 1980, Fazio debuted as a radio personality, appearing in local stations such as Radio Vecchia Savona and Radio Golfo Ligure. In 1982, he debuted as a celebrity impersonator at RAI's radio program Balck Out.[4]
After winning a contest organized by the Italian national broadcaster, Fazio made his first TV appearance in 1983, when he took part in Raffaella Carrà's show Pronto Raffaella?.[5] During the following years, he appeared in many other TV programs, including Rai 1's game show Loretta Goggi in quiz,[6] Rete 4's Sponsor City and Rai 3's L'orecchiocchio.[7]
In 1987, Fazio regularly appeared on Forza Italia, one of the first TV programs broadcast by Odeon TV, mixing talks about soccer matches with entertainment skatches.[8] Between 1989 and 1990, he also worked for RAI programs Fate il vostro gioco and Mai dire mai.[7] In 1990 and in 1991 he presented Banane, a satirical program broadcast by Telemontecarlo.[1] For the same network, he worked as an author for the show T'amoTV.[1]
Quelli che... il Calcio and TV success[edit]
In 1993, Fazio started presenting the show Quelli che... il Calcio, broadcast by Rai 3 and inspired by his previous show Forza Italia.[2] The program, based on live commentary of Serie A soccer matches, strongly contributed making him popular in Italy.[9] He presented the show until 2001, when he was replaced by Simona Ventura, after leaving the Italian public broadcaster.[10] In 1997, he received the Premio Regia Tv for his show Anima mia, presented with Italian singer Claudio Baglioni.[11] During the award ceremony, he also received the prize for Male TV Personality of the Year.[11]
In 1999, he presented the Sanremo Music Festival with virologist Nobel Prize-winner Renato Dulbecco and French actress and model Laetitia Casta.[12] The following year, he was confirmed as the presenter of the singing competition. Other presenters of the show in 2000 were operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti, Italian actor Teo Teocoli and Spanish model Inés Sastre.[13]
In 2001, he left RAI and signed a contract with the newborn private channel La7. On 24 June 2001, he appeared on the inaugural show of the network, together with Gad Lerner, Eros Ramazzotti and Pino Daniele.[14] However, his first talk show for La7 was canceled a few days before its planned debut.[15]
Che tempo che fa and the shows with Roberto Saviano[edit]
In 2003, Fazio started presenting the talk show Che tempo che fa, in which he interviews entertainers, politicians, artists and scientists.[16] In November 2010, he presented Vieni via con me with Italian writer Roberto Saviano.[17] The show was a big success, becoming the most watched show to be broadcast by Rai 3 in ten years.[18] Despite this, the show was not confirmed for the following year, therefore Fazio and Saviano decided to move the program to La7,[19] renaming it Quello che (non) ho. The show, consisting in three episodes, achieved an average share of 12.67%, with 2.9 million average viewers.[20]
Sanremo Music Festival[edit]
In June 2012, RAI announced Fabio Fazio as the presenter of the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival.[21] Luciana Littizzetto was later confirmed as the co-presenter of the show.[22]

11:30 pm
i-living this would be san francisco. now i'm not an architect. i'm not a city planner but i think you will agree with me when you look at the plans this is not smart architecture. this is not smart development of buildings. this is simply just a big box with no considerations to the life we live in san francisco; the life we want to live in san francisco. now, to be very clear we happy that house next door is going to be remodeled finally. we support that. however, i think what is important that we feel that the owner would be able to accomplish all his goals with less impact on our lives and on our property. we love the house. we love the property. we love the area. it is something very special. please let's not kill it. please give
11:31 pm
some chance to smart urban i-living in san francisco. thank you very much for your time. >> all right. thank you. any additional speakers in favor of the dr? okay. project sponsor. you have five minutes. >> if we could vtd over head? good afternoon commissioners. i am mark [inaudible] and the architect for the project. my clients are here this afternoon. they actually grew up in the subject property and their family has owned the property since 1924. it most recently did have tenants in the two
11:32 pm
existing flats, and the property has been in the family ownership, and the intent is to maintain it as a family owned property with the hope for some day for them and their children to return to live in the city. mr. cosgrove lives in st. louis and his sister lives in the vicinity but not the city. the dr requesters have talked about the love of the city and one thing to think about is the long-term owners want to maintain the property. it's in need of updating structurally and they need to look to the future for themselves and make sure it's a viable entity. they're adding a unit to the ground floor and horizontal expansion to the rear and also adding a bedroom and bathroom
11:33 pm
to the existing flats and those units being really truly family size homes. you can see that the applicants are talking about the open space and one thing to keep in mind we're not talking about being in the heart of north beach or mission where there isn't much open space and this is opposite ft. mason and there is considerable open space on the other side of the street. the existing interior block does have a lot of variation in terms of the depth of the buildings. most notably the building right here goes into the rear open space and looking at the ground study this is proposed change with the new addition and this is the existing, so it gets to be very hard to see what that impact in terms of the open block is. the other issue that kind of came up that we heard a
11:34 pm
lot about was views and the occupants of the building next door, the dr applicants at the two meetings that were held they came to both of those. their objection they weren't have the view into the subject property's rear yard and primarily they're talking about view and that is not something covered in the planning code. we have tried however to be sympathetic and scaled the proposed addition and setting it back from the side property. we were initially three and a half feet from the property line and we increased that to slightly over 5 feet. we have a condition on the west side and that property has property line windows that we wanted to maintain and aside setback so those windows wouldn't have to be abandoned by that owner and that owner by the way has written a letter in support and in support of the
11:35 pm
project as currently designed. we ask that the planning commission -- not take dr. we think that our project nicely fits into the neighborhood. it mediates between the long extension of the building to the west. it doesn't severely impact the open space. it doesn't cast shadows as your commissioner packets should show in terms of the knowledge to the west and the area there gets plenty of light and the trees are fairly tall and create a lot of morning shadow so their concern for light and air is certainly understandable but they have control over the light they're getting and we have minimal if any impact on their light to the yard because the late afternoon sun is already blocked by the western building to the subject property. to
11:36 pm
that end we have -- my office is locate the here in san francisco. i have been available to be reached and contacted by the dr applicants. they expressed concerns at the meetings. however we never heard anything further from them exactly what their specific objections were to our project and it wasn't until this past friday i heard from mr. paul and we met at the site this week and i heard the proposal and the building deep into the site and from property line to property line. unfortunately that would mitigate the windows to the neighbor and the neighborhood is not in supportive and goes against the design guidelines. >> thank you very much. speakers in schtd the project sponsor. >> good afternoon
11:37 pm
commissioners. my name is [inaudible] gosgrove and a native of san francisco and lived here for years. my job took me out of town and i hope to return. the building has been owned for three generations and my grandfather bought the building and proud of the fact it was born on rock and as i mentioned i want to move back. to show the intention of wanting to move back it's not about maximizing the monetary value necessarily and appraiser advised me we're reducing the value our specific building because we failed to fast track for the third building in for the condominium and that shows the reason we're doing this because we gave up the value. we're not able to fast track it
11:38 pm
which we don't intend to do. we want to pass it on to our kids and i hope to move into one of the units eventually. the owners of the two units and all of which talked. they implied that they're owner occupants. the upper unit is rented out and only the lower unit is owner occupant. we had a neighbor notification meeting. they mentioned they didn't like the project. we reviewed the plans and unable to do so and the specific objection we received was it going to hurt the value of their building and i explained about different types of value et cetera. they didn't want to hear anything in regards to that and i will leave it at that and once again i hope to move back from st. louis at some point in the near future into the building and we design
11:39 pm
today to accommodate our needs. thank you very much and good afternoon. >> thank you. additional speakers in support of the project sponsor? >> i am jerry burkeman and thank you commissioners for listening. i'm a native of san francisco as well. i have always been very proud to live in this city. i know many, many of the neighbors in the surrounding area because it's where i grew up. i have a love of this city that endures and i would not in my perspective do anything to change the feel and the comfort of the area. i have worked my whole career for the city of san francisco. i work said over 35 years recently retired and
11:40 pm
currently am a clinical nursing instructor at csu east bay. i have talked to my friends that lived in the area. i have gone down to that area to play. i lived there since high school years, and i would like to move back to the city. i would like to move back to the city. living in a unit with a sun room that i cannot use as a bedroom and having one bathroom for the whole unit is not a place they want to move back to with my family, and i am also interested in enhancing the neighborhood and its look. the building needs a lot of repair and updating as the architect mentioned, and i want to move back to a place that i can be
11:41 pm
proud of that is pleasant; that is comfortable, and i can enjoy the nature of the unit and its surrounding area, front and back. thank you. >> additional speakers in support of the project sponsor? okay. dr requester you have two minute rebuttal. >> over head picture please. so this -- chair, on behalf of the dr requester. this is a shot of the property across the dr requester's property. the place where this photograph was taken from will no longer be open space when this project is built as will the area where the toys
11:42 pm
are and the living space there. it's going to be replaced with a fenced in patio, and this very large living room, dining area. now, i would not presume to re design his project. he's very good at what he does. all i can say is the exchange that the community is getting for the mid-block open space for this kind of treatment at the rear just is not justified, and i think the residential design guidelines protection of midblock open space and suggesting appropriate massing would suggest that dr should be taken, and cut back to about 10 feet from 24 down to 10 --
11:43 pm
excuse me to 14 and stepg up as they go. i think they can achieve all of the goals of this program and maintain open space for the community and the future residents of this house. thank you very much. >> project sponsor you have a two minute rebuttal. >> if we could have the overhead please. the unit that mr. paul was showing was in fact the new third unit at the ground floor and i'm not certain, and may clarify, that doesn't seem to be the biggest objection. it was the second and third floor additions is my understanding. we are limiting with the space on the ground floor and accommodating the off street
11:44 pm
parking as required in this zoning district and neighborhood. we are limited in terms of square footage on the ground floor. it is only a smaller two bedroom unit and yes, there is ample living room in the living space, but again the intent here is these could be family size units and even if this one with two bedrooms. further it mitigates the large extension of the western building and not something that comes as the applicants stated and they go back to the views, the views, the views. we have offered if there issues with privacy to put landscaping in if that is the general problem as well as privacy issues. taking the
11:45 pm
clear glassing windows that look into the rooms at the rear of the property and those are being changed out for translucent glaises glazed windows for the property and further to the south which is in the bedroom itself so it just would look into the yard opposed looking directly into the bedroom windows and the shadow studieses have minimal impact and we hope that you again don't take dr. thank you. >> thank you. the public hearing is closed and opening up to commissioners. commissioner antonini. >> i am trying to visualize this. one thing that is extraordinary we have a deep lot. it is 138 feet deep so that tends to mitigate the
11:46 pm
amount of addition. mr. crawford if i am correct i am reading they plan to go out on the ground floor 24 feet -- oh i'm sorry you're handling this. i didn't realize. 24 feet on the ground floor, and then 18 feet on the second and third floor i guess. >> yeah. 24 feet on the ground floor. the second floor extends as deep as the ground floor. >> yeah, and the third floor is the 18-foot. >> correct. >> then i was looking around to see what the depth of the present building is because they still have a lot of rear yard left it would seem. got 138 feet total and after the addition obviously they're compliant because this is a code compliant project. >> yeah. it looks as though i am just doing a quick adding up
11:47 pm
here. it seems that the existing rear yard is approximately 55 feet deep. >> okay. so they're taking -- at the most off of there they're taking 24 feet off of one floor -- or two floors and the third floor 18, but they still have quite a bit of rear yard left proportionately. >> the remaining rear yard is 34 feet. >> 34. >> at the ground, yeah. >> so that is -- and that is still compliant? that is still 25%? okay. all right. we will see what the other commissioners have to say and i guess as a final question for you if staff felt it was preferable rather than stacking it higher or bringing it wider they make it a little deeper, and leave some
11:48 pm
setbacks on either side. >> we didn't see an option that went side to side. we would have to look at that. i mean -- generally we want a setback at the property line. >> yeah, and i can understand their issue trying to make that lower unit be a decent sized unit because if they make it too short and have the parking in the front there is necessary left. okay. we will see what the other commissioners have to say -- if any. >> commissioner hillis. >> so it's a fairly high bar for us to take dr. we're looking at kind of extraordinary circumstances, or exceptional circumstances, and in this case given the size of the lot and
11:49 pm
the addition of one unit on the project sponsor's project which i think is great. i don't see in the setbacks, or the other side setbacks of 5 feet. i don't see exceptional or extraordinary circumstances that would encourage me to take dr. >> commissioner sugaya. >> yeah. could i get some clarification on the plan, drawing, whatever? in this exchange with planning staff there was a mention that two stories comes all the way out, and the third story is setback with a deck. >> yeah. >> if you look at 4.1 it seems only the ground floor only
11:50 pm
comes out all the way. the deck is at the second and the third floor. >> there is a covered deck at the second floor with a roof over it, and the other deck above that, so -- >> oh -- >> inhabitant portion of the project is only at the ground floor. the second is open at the sides but covered above. >> okay. but you would still label that as a two story addition? >> well, it allows light through. >> just a technical question. >> okay. >> commissioner moore. >> i like to ask the architect to explain to me the ground floor of fence enclosure of why any how? >> i'm sorry. could you repeat that commissioner moore? >> the fence on the ground
11:51 pm
floor. you having a fence here? >> it is existing, and it's proposed that it would be maintained. there hasn't been any expression by my clients or the neighbors that it go away or lower. >> i am just wondering as to whether or not and more informal garden like that kind of deals with playing with the garden as it helps with the side yards setbacks and planting wouldn't allow this building to look more -- less imposing but more generous to maintaining the collective impression of the mid-block open space. i personally don't find the ground and intrusion into the midblock open space or the fence partially and it staggered and holds back from the adjoining building to the east. we have to remember that the building
11:52 pm
is -- the grarden is north facing. it is a north facing building which means the sun, the southern sun, the eastern sun, is fully affecting all units impacted by this addition, but what i am wondering -- i haven't seen the fence and what it means but delineating it is rear yard with this even more defining element of a fence would it be better to suggest take the fence down and do garden architecture and more generous to embrace the side backs. >> sure. the yard when you have all this other space it's not going to be utilized for much other than visual. i'm not certain what the dr applicants use their side setback for.
11:53 pm
there is a shot on the overhead now if you wanted to see that fence. it's about 6 feet high. there are some plantings there. it does screen out the occupant objects of the yard at ground level, but when above seeing it's a different experience and you get the aspect you're after, but in terms of the utilization of that space it's pretty minimal, and i think it's purely functioning as a visual garden, but yes it could definitely be utilizeed. this being the fence and these are the previous tenants that had children and they had play equipment in the backyard which is no longer there and i'm not sure if i answered your question. >> it does and the privatization and the dilynnization of the yard and i find when midblock
11:54 pm
open space is the discussion further distracts and now extending the building out and that particular fence and height and solidness will look even more intrusive. if that is a way to open the expression of the common open space more generous softening the expansion i would support that. i do not see anything xemzal extraordinary in the code compliant addition. generally i do have to say to the dr requester that the type of change that is suggested here is in line with dense ifz of neighborhoods as we see them part of this citizen strategy to really use its limited resources, but also operate within the code and support denseification as proposed year. they are following the rules.
11:55 pm
they are not asking for dr's or exemptions but play the rules and the details of the execution of the project are sensitive to minor tweaks like the one i am suggesting i personally have to support the expansion of this building so i like to make a motion that we are not taking dr. approve the building and ask the owner of the property -- the property owner to consider modification or elimination of this rear yard fence within the garden, within the garden. >> second. >> could i ask for clarification please? so you're not taking dr and making this a condition. >> correct. >> thank you. >> yes and i would like to see the architect who seems to be perhaps having it is owner's consent on that if this is a way
11:56 pm
to improve the garden as it is. >> commissioners, the motion and a second not to take dr and approve the project recommending that the owner consider modifications to the yard and the fence. commissioner antonini. >> aye. >> commissioner hillis. >> aye. >> commissioner moore. >> aye. >> commissioner sugaya. >> aye. >> commissioner president fong. >> aye. >> that passes unanimously. >> do you guys want a five minute break? next item. somebody needs to take the helm while i go to the restroom. >> can we take a short break. >> that braces you on item 15 at 4066 26th avenue mandatory discretionary review. >> good afternoon president -- excuse me acting president antonini and commissioners i am rick crawford of department
11:57 pm
staff. this is mandatory discretionary review to merge two units into a family unit at 4066 26th avenue in the residential family district. the project will not expand the existing building. it was constructed in 1961. in 1971 the first and second floors were turned into separate dwelling unit and the stairs were closed but not removed. the project will open the stairway and merge the two units occupied by the property owners since july 2011. the former tenant vacated voluntarily and moved out of the region. the ellis act was not enforced against the tenant and allows two dwellings per parcel
11:58 pm
however 70% mixed residential. the department recommends approval of the project and the proposed merger brings the project into compliance in the area and both units will remain owner opened on a full time basis and meets the criteria in the planning code. i am available for questions. thank you very much. >> thank you. probably the project sponsor wants to make any comments. they don't have to. it's a dr but i am thinking maybe and first and then we will take public comment after that. >> thank you members of the commission. i am jonathan kaplan. i am the property owner. i live in the property now with my wife and two children. we bought this house a year and a half ago and looking for a fixer up and
11:59 pm
convert to passive house and green building and europe and much more aggressive than the green building standards and 90% more energy efficient than conventional code requirements. our project would include super insulating the building and if we can afford it adding a green roof over the garage. as mr. crawford mentioned we have support from both of the neighbors. there was a tenant that left voluntarily after we bought the house and over a year ago. there has been no ellis act for this property and certainly not by us and we plan to live in the house with our family. i want to say this house was originally built as a single family home. we have the drawings in the

Very thick, and after drying, and ironing, are excellent. Soft, and smooth to lye upon. Very thick, and well made. Will last, and last. When the bed is made, they look fantastic. They do need ironing, because of the thick cotton.

With 1st washing with Wisk & Downy Softner in Washer and Dryer this set came out so Soft ! These are so much better than others from other stores is unbelieveable! Happy Sleeping!
I don't know what more you could ask of sheets. They are comfortable, classy, and should last a long time.
A must buy if you like sleeping on good sheets.
I've never experienced egyptian cotton before and I am so in love with these sheets. Makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning!!!! A+++
This sheet set is wonderful, very thick fabric. They come out of the dryer wrinkle free. I would defintely recommend.
Lives up to everything I expected. Very comfortable to sleep on.

Curt and Christine built a flagstone patio along that side of the house and began planning their lush vegetable garden. They also helped design and equip the hardworking kitchen, reusing existing cabinets and adding a used restaurant range and broiler. "Most people overthink the kitchen and lose the spirit of what it's about: cooking and living and laughing," says Summerour. "This kitchen captures the life they have."

There are over 100 clinical reports of the peculiar condition called marble bones or Albers-Schönberg disease.1 The original observation of Albers-Schönberg was made on a man 26 years old. Subsequent reports have described patients of all ages, from infancy to adult life. The only feature common to all of the reported cases is the roentgenographic observation of increased density, with loss of detail, of practically all bones of the skeleton. The changes in the blood are at variance; chemical studies made during life are few and incomplete, morphologic observations are rare, and chemical analyses of parts of the skeleton obtained post mortem are lacking. In a case which recently came under our observation circumstances permitted a detailed clinical, pathologic and chemical study. Since these data may contribute to a better understanding of the natural history of this disease, they are presented in some detail.

While reading this book, I was drawn into the excitement and love for dogs, the author clearly expresses regarding the canine's world around us. It was just a matter of time before I felt her sense of love and a caring heart she has toward our furry friends. This book is a good read and I'm looking forward to more writings by her, such as All About Horses: The Equine History, Breeds, Care, & Friendships . I highly recommend both books. Well done.
Thank you for your feedback.

I was charged with - 23140 vc underange drinking
- 21658 vc unsafe lane change
Ok so my question is i went to court but the judge only charged me with the unsafe lane change and nothing about the DUI. I paid my fine for the unsafe lane change but what about the DUI charge. I have no other court order so what should i do? Is the DA not charging me with a DUI or what?
Also i failed to call the DMV within 10 days for the hearing. Can i still apply for a restricted license
For a restricted license do i have to be enrolled in DUI classes? Since i wasnt charged with the 23140(yet?) and the judge didnt order me take the classes. Should i take it upon myself to just enroll in classes so i have a better chance?
DUI / DWI Attorney
From what you have stated the DA decided not to file charges against you for the underage drinking and driving. If the DA try's to go back and add the charges they will be preempted due to your guilty plea on the traffic violation. The issue you have is the restricted license. It is very difficult once the DMV hearing has passed. The DMV does not like to give restricted licenses to people that are under 21 and were caught with any alcohol in their system.
Robert Driessen
DUI / DWI Attorney
Here is the best way to improve your chances for DMV to grant an Application for a Critical Need Restriction. You do not have to be enrolled in DUI classes since you were not charged or convicted of the relevant statutes. Enrolling in the classes does not enhance your chances. Just follow these instructions:
As far as your license, since the 10 days has expired, please print-out and complete the DMV Application for Critical Need Restriction found at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/ds/ds694.pdf . Include as many documents as possible from your school, physician, &/or employer to support your need for a restricted license.
DMV's guidelines are found at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/about/lad/pdfs/cnr/terms.pdf .
In order for the Application to have any chance of being granted, you have to get as much documentation as you can - showing no transportation is available for the time(s) you go to/from school &/or work.
Attached public transportation schedules, MapQuest maps from home to school &/or work, etc. in order to show it's impossible (not just inconvenient). The more documents you attach, the better.
To give yourself the best shot, if possible:
1) Submit local bus schedules and highlight possible timelines of travel.
2) Use maps and MapQuest and/or aerial views of the route to and from work to show that bicycles and walking will not do.
3) Submit affidavits/declarations (statements "made under penalty of perjury") by yourself and family members (and/or roommates) attesting to what you contribute to the family (or household) and why it is not possible for them to drive you. State no other licensed person resides in the household is available for carpooling. If you are working, state your income is essential to the household.
4) Submit letter from employer(s) indicating how valuable you are and the need for you to drive, and the lack of flexibility in your schedule.
Personal Injury Lawyer
Mr. Driessen and Mueller offer great answers as usual. The DA cannot refile charges against you again and you may apply for the critical need license, however they are very tough to get approved. Best of luck.

The thunderstorms were not very strong, but a few produced brief heavy downpours and wind gusts to 25 to 30 mph. Several locations in north central Wisconsin reported around a quarter inch of rainfall. There was a large difference in late morning temperatures, ranging from rain cooled 60s in north central Wisconsin to muggy readings in the upper 70s and lower 80s in central and east central Wisconsin. A Canadian cold front will continue to sag south across Wisconsin this afternoon and tonight. The front will combine with an upper level disturbance approaching from Minnesota to produce numerous showers and thunderstorms. Given the presence of a very moist air mass, some of the storms will produce torrential rainfall. Local urban flooding is possible later this afternoon and tonight. The chances for showers and storms will gradually end from north to south late tonight into Thursday. This will be followed by dry, cooler and less humid conditions for the end of the week, as Canadian high pressure settles over the northern Great Lakes. $$ Kieckbusch
