A former Kansas City pastor was sentenced Thursday to 50 years in federal prison on child pornography charges.
No one has a bad word to say about Auxiliary Bishop Timothy Lyne, perhaps because he rarely says anything negative about anyone else.
Mission Management: Certain factors can help you live longer, including where you live, says Dan Buettner, a New York Times best-selling author.
It is disappointing "to see the Boy Scouts of America succumb to external pressures and political causes at the cost of its moral integrity," one bishop said.
The Wednesday hearings quickly turned colorful when two activists refused to pay their fines and demanded jail time.
Bishop F. Joseph Gossman increased roles for women and laity in Raleigh and helped Southerners see that Catholics are Christians, too.
A Vietnam War chaplain and candidate for sainthood was remembered as a man dedicated to the spiritual care of his Marines.
A U.S. military strike on Syria would be an "abuse of power" that should be "condemned and rejected," the global leader of the Jesuit order of Catholic brothers and priests has said.
Jesuit Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, who leads the some 17,000 member order that counts among its ranks Pope Francis, adds his voice to a chorus of Catholic prelates around the world sharply criticizing the attack in an interview made public Wednesday.
On the eve of the first anniversary of the death of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, Pope Francis called the late-fellow Jesuit and biblical scholar, a "prophetic" figure and a "man of discernment and peace."
The late cardinal, who died Aug. 31, 2012, at the age of 85, was "a father for the whole church," and remembering one's fathers "is an act of justice," the pope said during a meeting with a group of Italian Jesuits.

Intended for small areas that do not justify installation of two speakers, this single stereo speaker provides both left and right audio channels from a single point.
Wanted a portable battery powered single speaker/amp combo. Mounted this speaker in a wooden box approx.1 sq. ft. internal filled with pillow stuffing. (Old car sub box) Mounted a small stereo battery powered amp (~10 watts/channel) to the box and WALA! Sounds fantastic! The cutout in the sub box was too large to mount the speaker so I used a plastic 5 gal. bucket lid and some silicone sealer to mount the speaker. Mounted the lid/speaker over the hole in the box with some drywall screws. Portable Hillbilly Boom Box..
For the price, this speaker can't be beat. Simple install, easy hookup, and great sound.

Dealing with poor workmanship
Having saved to buy a piece of bespoke furniture I was severely let down by the "artisan" furniture maker that I had employed. After the delivery of his work, I spent a lot of time and energy trying to get him to put things right. My efforts were fruitless so I went through the following steps in an attempt to get reparation.
Firstly, I made a complaint.
Then, when the complaint was ignored I took legal action.
Thirdly, I uploaded a web page with photographs of the offending article and invited people to draw their own conclusions as to the quality of build.
Have a look at the workmanship from Tailor Made Furniture to see what I mean.
The photograph shows that one door is rectangular while the other is rhomboid with a 20mm (3/4 inch) difference in width between top and bottom. This was to make up for the fact that the doors would lean inwards due to the fact that the hinges were too light for the job. This is only one of many, many issues!
I would value your opinion.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dreadful workmanship from Tailor Made Furniture
Disgruntled most of the unit looks fine. Is the main issue the doors? It might be worth it for you own piece of mind to find a local craftsman, good carpenter or cabinet maker to set things right. It might just need a new set of hinges. It may cost you a few hours labor and the hinges. Most high quality carpenters I know charge from $45 to $50 an hour and some can go as high as $60 to $65 but if you could persuade someone to fix this for you it might be worth it. You might be able to fix this for $100 or less.

…A United Nations report said on Tuesday that eradicating AIDS was in sight, owing to better access to drugs that can both treat and prevent the incurable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes the disease.
An aim to eventually end the worldwide AIDS epidemic is not "merely visionary" but "entirely feasible", the report said.
Success in fighting the disease in the past decade has allowed the "foundation to be laid for the eventual end of AIDS" by cutting the death toll and helping stabilize the number of people infected in the pandemic, UNAIDS said its annual report.
Some 34 million people had HIV at the end of 2011.
Worldwide, the number of people newly infected with the disease, which can be transmitted via blood and by semen during sex, is falling. At 2.5 million, the number of new infections in 2011 was 20 per cent lower than in 2001.
Deaths from AIDS fell to 1.7 million in 2011, down from a peak of 2.3 million in 2005 and from 1.8 million in 2010.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the most severely affected region with almost one in every 20 adults infected, nearly 25 times the rate in Asia, there are also almost 5 million people with HIV in South, South-East and East Asia combined.
"Although AIDS remains one of the world's most serious health challenges, global solidarity in the AIDS response during the past decade continues to generate extraordinary health gains," the report said.
It said this was due to "historic success" in bringing HIV programs to scale, combined with the emergence of new combination drugs to prevent people from becoming HIV infected and from dying from AIDS.
Since 1995, AIDS drug treatment – known as antiretroviral therapy – has saved 14 million life-years in poorer countries, including 9 million in sub-Saharan Africa, the report said.
Some 8 million people were being treated with AIDS drugs by the end of 2011, a 20-fold increase since 2003. The U.N. has set a target to raise that to 15 million people by 2015.
Scientific studies published in recent years have shown that getting timely treatment to those with HIV can also cut the number of people who become newly infected with the virus.
UNAIDS said the sharpest declines in new HIV infections since 2001 were in the Caribbean and in sub-Saharan Africa – where new infections were down 25 per cent in a decade.
Despite this, sub-Saharan Africa still accounted for 71 per cent of people newly infected in 2011, underscoring the need to boost HIV prevention efforts in the region, UNAIDS said.
HIV trends are a concern in other regions also, it said.
Since 2001, the number of new HIV infections in the Middle East and North Africa was up more than 35 per cent from 27,000 to 37,000, it said, and evidence suggests HIV infections in Eastern Europe and Central Asia began increasing in the late 2000s after being relatively stable for several years.

"The Bachelorette" Season 10 (2014) is only a day away from airing its much-anticipated finale and After the Final Rose (ATFR) segment. Not only fans will meet Andi Dorfman's season winner, but also learn more about the relationship of the next "it" couple of "Bachelor" nation. It seems this is the right time to break the suspense and dish out those details that have been kept secret from fans. For those eager fans, here are some major spoilers (based on various media reports) from "The Bachelorette" Season 10 (2014) Finale and After the Final Rose (ATFR) special. Head inside to find out the details. [Warning: Potential Spoilers ahead!]
This article contains spoilers from "The Bachelorette" Season 10 (2014) Finale and After the Final Rose special. Read at your own risk.
Juan Pablo's season of "The Bachelor" left many fans disappointed when the star refused to propose the winning lady Nikki Ferrell. Sequence of events on the finale led to rampant speculations predicting their relationship to end without an engagement. It's been more than four months and there has been no official announcement about Juan Pablo and Nikki Ferrell's engagement.
However, Andi Dorfman fans are now eager to know whether she will be lucky enough to end her season with a proposal and engagement. According to reality show spy Reality Steve's episode-by-episode spoilers guide, Andi Dorfman gets engaged to the winner. The blog post published on May 8, 2014 (after the filming ended) states that "Andi [Dorfman] is engaged to Josh Murray."
Furthermore, Life & Style magazine claims that "The Bachelorette" Season 10 (2014) finale ends with a proposal with "$100,000, 4.4-carat Neil Lane ring." The insider told the magazine that the ring is "the biggest in Bachelor history." The magazine even claimed that the couple went for their first romantic trip to Mexico.
However, there are rumours swirling around claiming that Josh Murray is cheating on Andi Dorfman with his ex Britanny McCord. This has made several fans curious about Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray's current status. In his recent blog post, Reality Steve assured "The Bachelorette" fans that the Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray are still together. On July 24, he updated his blog, clearing the air and revealing the truth behind the controversy. The "Bachelor" spy wrote in bolds on his blog post: "Josh is not cheating on Andi. They are engaged."
Moreover, another report by Life & Style claims that Andi Dorfman and "The Bachelorette" Season 10 (2014) winner are already "planning TV wedding." According to the report, ABC is ready to splurge "$1 million to air the nuptials on TV." Andi Dorfman reportedly wants a "traditional wedding with Southern flair" and the couple is already discussing "themes, colours and flowers."
"The Bachelorette" Season 10 (2014) Finale and After the Final Rose (ATFR) special airs July 28, 2014 at 8:00pm on ABC. Andi Dorfman will choose the winner among the two finalists, Josh Murray and Nick Viall.

College Football Bowl Is Bahamas Bound For Bowl Game
BAHAMAS (AP) – A new college football bowl game will be played in the Bahamas, starting in 2014.
The game will be rotated among teams from five conferences: Mid-American, American Athletic, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Conference USA.
The game will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium in Nassau before New Year's Eve and the deal with the conferences runs for six years.
The MAC will be the anchor team for the first four seasons. Last week, the five leagues announced a similar arrangement with a new bowl in Boca Raton, Fla., to be played at Florida Atlantic's stadium.
The conferences are expected to soon announce the creation of another game to be played at Marlins Park in Miami and anchored by the American Athletic Conference.

Last year a tough, chaotic and poorly-framed budget appeared as if from nowhere. The Government had failed to set up a case for the cyclone of change that was foisted on an unprepared electorate.
This year, however, Prime Minister Tony Abbott sounds like an officious constable at a crime scene saying "nothing to see here".
But how does this sit with the recent avalanche of policy reports aimed at preparing Australians for a new wave of macro and micro-economic reform?
Topics: budget, federal-government
For two years headlines and editorials were full of shock and awe about doping in sport. Despite ASADA's press conference this morning, the question remains: what was it all about?
I was six years old when I contracted polio. Parents should take a look at my story before deciding whether or not to vaccinate their children.
The problem with bringing about tax reform doesn't lie with voters. Australians are actually open to considering a range of options to raise government revenue.
The art community is in grief for Betty Churcher, who died yesterday at 84, a visionary teacher who took our hand, laughed away our nerves and showed us the sheer delight that comes from spending time with beautiful, moving, challenging things.
We don't really need the tax discussion paper - interesting though it is. What we need is politicians with the political gumption to argue for what they truly believe.
It's taken more than two years for ASADA to mount a case that has ultimately been unsuccessful. Essendon players will no doubt feel relieved, but they'll also be wondering why they were dragged through this scandal.
The IMF and World Bank are politicised, bureaucratic and imperialistic. But the problems with these institutions don't mean we should join another. They are precisely why we shouldn't.
Abbott's chronicle of broken promises and policy retreats have made it impossible to regain the electorate's trust in the foreseeable future; indeed, he seems not even interested in trying.
Australia is currently a nation of over-indebted tax-dodging landlords with an underclass of renters - but with a better tax system, it could be a country where hard work and financial prudence is rewarded.
Politicians wishing to run down their opponents in the eyes of the public are quick to level accusations of dishonesty. But these "lies" aren't always what they seem.
I don't want to be too critical of Warnie, because then I'd violate the Aussie code of being a good bloke. But the tendency to make everything about beer is becoming embarrassing.
There I was, a journalist of Asian background, listening to a man talk openly about how he had planned to kill as many Asians and Arabs as possible. But call me crazy: I found his honesty refreshing.
Who is Andrew Robb? What is his track record like? (Besides signing four trade deals as trade minister) People might engage more with issues like this if there was more stories about the cabinet instead of just the leaders.
Alex The TPP has the potential for real harm via story comment.
The ease with which Turnbull has shed principles to retain a ministerial seat shows he is no better than Abbott.
Peter Stanton on Turnbull's new pitch as Mr Right via story comment.
Personally I do not think these two should be hanged, not because of religious or moral grounds, but because they have done 10 years, and appear to have been rehabilitated.

Bubbles are rare, but not that rare. Of course, if you are managing other peoples' money, you have to pretend that you know what no one can know, and you have to stay busy to prove it and to earn your exorbitant wizard's fee. You are lucky that people want to believe that someone, somewhere actually knows what's going on every day.
But if you manage your own money, just wait for a crash; these things happen to sectors much more often than to the entire market. When it gets crazy, pick some companies that you believe are highly likely to survive the swing, and buy. If it gets crazier, buy more. Then comes the hard part. You have to have sense enough to do nothing when nothing's to be done. This can take years. Eventually, prices will get crazy on the upside, and it's time to sell. So what if it keeps going up - do you need to make all the money yourself ?
You mean to tell me that people are stupid and playing the stock market is gambling??
Say it ain't so!!!
My favorite:
Once upon a time there was a great flood. A very devout man stood infront of his house as the waters began to rise. As the waters rose a neighbor came by and offered a ride. He replied, "I'm waiting for God to save me."
Well the waters kept rising and finally a neighbor drove up in a boat to offer him safety. The man only replied, "I'm waiting for God to save me." Right as rain and overflowing rivers the waters kept rising so the man climbed to his roof. As he did yet another neigbor floated up to offer a ride. With resolution the man waved him on w. the words, "I'm waiting for God to save me".
Well the water kept rising and just as before a helicopter arrived to offer safety. Just as before the man yelled, "I'm waiting for God to save me." Well the waters kept rising and finally the man died. When he got to heaven the man stood before God with only One question, "God why has thou forsaken me?" God turned to the man w. a confused look and replied, "Didn't you get the car, 2 boats and the helicopter I sent?"
The prospector anecdote is surely about gold, not oil, prospectors in the old days, not just because they have more use for picks and shovels but because they were a notoriously independent lot. I have read, though I don't have a citation handy, that of roughly 100,000 men who participated in the Klondike gold rush, fewer than 100 came back with more money than they started with. The money went largely to merchants in Seattle who sold them all manner of vital and useless supplies and transported them to Skagway at high rates. Similar stories on a small scale applied at all the gold camps. While the stories of the rich discoveries got spread far and wide, the consistent way to make money was sell supplies, transportation, and entertainment to the prospectors. Most of the prospectors never succeeded at mining the ground, but the merchants almost always succeeded at mining the prospectors. This, essentially, is what Wall Street does in the investment world -- mine the investors.
It doesn't matter what you buy or sell or whether it goes up or down after you buy or sell it. Wall Street gets its cut, and year after year accumulates wealth without concern about which "camp" the prospectors are rushing off to this time. Individual success stories, more likely the result of dumb luck than anything else, are encouraged in the same way railroad brochures in the late 19th century trumpeted gold discoveries. No one reading the railroad brochures bothered to ask themselves, "If it's this easy to strike it rich digging for gold, why does the railroad go to all the hassle and expense of running trains when they could just dig gold instead?" It's very much like the radio ads for hot investing schemes: nobody asks, before calling wither credit card number for a subscription, why the hot-shot investment genius isn't making his fortune investing rather than flogging a book or newsletter on the radio. The big Wall Street organizations are just more subtle versions of the same thing. Their analysts almost never say "sell", even though logically "sell" advice should be as common as "buy" advice. They sagely advise mom and dad with their retirement "nest egg" to "buy and hold", no matter what, selling them the 21st century equivalent of a "Yukon stove", not telling them that they'll have to schlep it up to Chilkoot Pass on their back and along the way they'll find hundreds of others discarded by previous fools.
The problem with bubbles is that they reward foolishness. Everyone thinks he is a genius when he starts to get rich. The difficulty is that that fundamentally, people don't understand risk and probability. More specifically they don't understand the difference between probability and payoff. In a bubble 99% of the time you will win when you play, but 1% of the time you will lose, but when you lose you will lose everything. Because bubbles are generally built on borrowed money, people end up losing more than their cumulative winnings to date.
The notion of the "Wisdom of Crowds" is nonsense. You can average some things, like weight of a bull, but you cannot average wisdom. Go back to the source. Go back to Charles Mackay. For every nice anecdote about guessing the weight of a bull, he has a dozen concrete stories about how large numbers of people behave in extraordinary stupid ways.
With respect, I believe the closing anecdote is about gold, not oil. There's not so much pick-and-shovel work in oil.
We should also remember the role higher education plays in all this. Current MBA programs are so generic that they turn out legions of graduates all thinking the same things. There are a few exceptions, such as the entrepreneurial programs at Stanford and Babson, but most other students are trained by universities to be lemmings.
"The free market needs better management."
Wouldn't really be the free market then would it?
Are we to assume that it's beyond the wit of man to build a system that does not lurch from crisis to crisis? The best we can do is to party hard until the next crash and then clean up afterwards? A few governments will fall and many people will be hit hard but that's just the way it is. Then the herd will follow the blind and exuberant and we will do it all over again? I don't think so. The free market needs better management.
bampbs! you are the typical retail investor: selling out of rising stocks prematurely and holding on to losing stocks for too long. People have recommended you the most, because they too fall victim to these behavioral patterns. Your theory sounds good on paper, but actually causes millions of people to underperform the market over many years. Perhaps even this crowd of comment readers isn't as smart as they think.
Bubbles are not so rare anymore. Those of us in our 30s and early 40s have scarcely any experience as adults working in a non-bubble economy. One wonders whether America in particular can even run a normal economy anymore, or whether bubbles are necessary in order to mask an otherwise inexorable decline.
"The foolishness of crowds"? How do you think Obama got elected? LOL
I really like Buttonwood! Crowds are right most of the time, but woefully late. Markets are generally ready to turn when the largest "crowd" enters using longer time periods as a norm. The old 1930's expression "When you're shoe shine boy gives you a tip on the market, it's time to sell" is meaningful. The crowd is wise on basics and broad generalities.
They can also be wrong many times on specific effects of action to be taken in any meaningful large national decision. What is interesting is that a crowd can be the majority heads of the Financial Industry. Look how wrong they were recently (2008).

MY RESPONSE: If free market is synonymous with "I will determine what is and is not legal, and then do whatever the hell I please...", then I say we just call it a market.
A few observations about your study:
1] the time period of your study was not very long; it has been a period characterized by extreme volatility
2] even considering the preceding, the difference in returns between the most flow and the smallest flow was not all that great.
3] I don't think you mention how many different asset classes were looked at; that would be important to know. Some asset classes, such as gold, were small enough that the mere invention of ETF's attracted many new investors into gold which, in and of itself, raised the price.
"Selling out of rising stocks prematurely..."
Yes, that was why my good friend wouldn't follow my advice to sell his Yahoo stock at $490 a share. But I'm sure he was glad that he didn't jump the gun too early when he sold at $19 or so.
"Investors tend to chase the latest fad"
…"But I subscribe to the law of contrary public opinion.
If everyone thinks one thing, then I say: Bet the other
way." So says a real estate salesman, played by Al Pa-
cino, in a movie, "Glengarry Glen Ross." It is a master-
piece, written by David Mamet, with tons of F-words.
It was my great regret that we could not get together,
yes, at Heathrow airport's cafe. Well, I wish to talk to
you. But that was, sure, an allusion ("Betting on Ben,"
Feb 18th).
That was nothing but a prelude for today to see what's
happened in the world, because I had said, for the sake
of all of your readers, that: "some time after February"
you'd find some reasons to stop dancing. And, that'd be
"very ugly ('In a spin,' Jan 1st)."
Japan was on my list of "problem kids." And I knew that
the country could stumble badly. But due to other things.
Not this sort of event. It's a lot harder to tell when a nat-
ural disaster hits a country than when a country plunges
into recession. Forgive me, please, for not being able to
see one happen. My contribution has gone to the regions.
(Hope you did too.) The events could be fatal for Japan.
"Again, investors were more Nostradumbs than Nostra-
…Perhaps. But "March's events," says a Financial Times
story, "are at least forgivable for having been unpredicta-
ble." Still, the month is "shaping up to have been an ex-
trembly painful for the industry, from which only a hand-
ful of managers will emerge unscathed ('[Alas,] Hedge
funds feel repercussions of Japan's quake,' Mar 30th)."
I don't mean to challenge famed hedge fund managers.
But tough luck (alas, again), Mr. Paulson.
Well, it is impossible to be a "Nostradamus." But there
are some ways to get close to him, in an attempt to hunt
down Black Swans, and to know when they cause havoc.
And, this was one of the things I was going to tell Button-
wood over tea or something, provided that you won't tell
any hedge fund managers about the ways.
Take it easy. It's a, as Ben Bernanke trumpeted it back in
2009, "very long haul." You will have to stop dancing, as
you expect, once in a while down the road. Still, I don't
think it will be as ugly as the event in March, but you will
eyewitness something drastic down the road, hence stop
dancing. It won't be, to borrow this newspaper's style,
…Oh, I know it's too early to ask you. But let me ask you.
What do you want for this Christmas? The iPad 2…? You
got the first model last year, and it still works fine, right?
So forget about a toy. Instead, get a seatbelt. A seatbelt.
That's what you need, not a toy.
Just hope that Santa Claus comes to your town a tad early.
And, good luck, Mr. Bernanke.
I'm not sure just how much wisdom there typically is within crowds. Crowds can act every bit as foolish as investment herds. City riots, people queuing up in the middle of the night for the latest iPhone, and Tea Party rallies are a few examples that come to mind.
It's core to human nature to copy each other's behaviour - look at how kids learn and you see this dynamic in action.
Unfortunately this means that collectively, we indeed act like a herd, not as a wise crowd.
For the wisdom of the crowd to prevail, investors need to be allowed to act more individually, based on their own common sense of what's in their best interest, instead of copying other people's recently successful strategies.
I'd be interested to hear creative ideas from other readers on how one might manage markets in a way to avoid herd behaviour and promote wise crowd behaviour - or to somehow redirect the herd when it seems to go astray...
This. Should be regulated more.

A Monitor System Based on Wave Synthesis
Through wave synthesis (virtual) sound sources can be placed in another position other than the actual transducer(s). This quality has been used for a new monitor system for two or three channel stereo. To decrease the influence of room acoustics, the actual transducers are placed near the listener, while the apparent (virtual) sources are positioned at a large distance to create a large-distance triangle. Because of its flat shape it combines ideally with audio control desks.

Ugh, the story DLC wasn't even worth the half off price it was on sale for
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
I've only beaten The Pirate DLC and I thought it wasn't that bad...Scarlett and the Hermit(name slips my mind now) were funny and cool characters. All the fetch quest did get old though.

Pirates: Meh
Agree with this assessment completely. Mister Torque is my favorite character though so I'm biased. All his dialogue cracked me up.
I'm the Helen Keller of sexual stuff... no wait, that's a bad example.
Now I just back into boarderlands 2 and haven't played any of the dlcs except the DnD one, but there is no way I would call the first games dlc "lightning".
I really enjoyed Claptrap's Revolution, but other than that the Underdome was terrible and glitchy, I've gotten stuck in the map on the final round of one of the final cups before. A lot of time wasted. You basically were paying for an increased bank. Maybe if they added XP gain it could have been alright. The Dr. Ned's Zombie dlc had some good humor (specifically with claptrap), but I didn't find it better than vanilla game. General Knoxx was stretched out by the long drives in the desert because of the lack of fast travel stations. It was such a drag. Have one mission left? Why not drive through 5 areas to get there, then have to drive all the way back there for part two. I spent way more time traveling than anything else in Knoxx. I hated it.
All of this stuff is my opinion of course, but from what I've experienced in the Tiny Tina dlc so far is any representation of the rest of them, it is an improvement from last time.

If it makes you feel better, Gearbox outsourced the first 3 DLC.

DLC 4 is easily twice as good as Campaign of Carnage.
These might be better if you understand this:
Scarlett DLC = Sandhawk + Pirate head
Hammerlock DLC = 0 Capacity Shield + Animal Print skin
Torgue DLC = TORGUE + Barroom Brawl + TORGUE
Tiny Tina DLC = Story Closure + TORGUE + Campaign + Upgraded regular guns + PUNCHING
I was kinds hoping to remember the name of the 0 capacity shield before posting, but I am sure right after I click post, I will remember.

Following another fire in a low-floor Delhi Transport Corporation bus in Moti Nagar here on Thursday, the Delhi Government swung into action and hauled up Tata Motors which is responsible for the maintenance of these buses. It also constituted a four-member committee to look into the causes of mishaps involving the newly-acquired buses.
This was the second fire incident in a low-floor bus in the recent past. The latest fire broke out in the rear part of the bus, plying between Janakpuri and Inderlok metro rail station, around 6 a.m. A shoe-brake rubbing against the rear tyre generated friction leading to the fire.
The driver noticed smoke and rushed out of the bus along with the passengers and crew.
Following the incident, Transport Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely convened a high-level meeting in which it was decided to set up the four-member committee headed by the Joint Commissioner (Transport) to look into the causes of the fire accidents involving DTC low-floor buses and to suggest ways to prevent such mishaps in future.
The Minister said the committee headed by Ajay Chakti would also include a chief general manager of the DTC, a motor licensing officer and a retired director of a research institute. The committee has been given a month to submit its report.
The DTC, he said, had been directed to have an automobile engineer on contract at every depot for ensuring proper maintenance of low-floor buses.
"I have taken strong note of this incident and hauled up Tata Motors for poor upkeep of the vehicles. They have been told to improve their performance in keeping with their track record or else we will be compelled to review the contract,'' he warned.
Stating that the problem was not with the buses but their maintenance, Mr. Lovely said if a faulty brake-shoe leads to a fire, then those in charge of maintenance are to be blamed.
"A team of Tata Motors has arrived from Lucknow to look into the incident. While a preliminary report has been received, they will conduct a detailed investigation into the incidents.''
In view of the incident, Tata Motors, which has a 15-year contract for maintenance of low-floor buses, suspended its manager (workshop).
Mr. Lovely said the DTC has suspended its shift manager at the Mayapuri depot. This bus was one of the 100 low-floor buses which operate out of this depot.
"While the maintenance was with Tatas, it was the responsibility of the DTC shift manager too to ensure that the maintenance was taking place properly. We want to send out the message that these buses are absolutely safe for travel and that negligence in maintenance would not be tolerated,'' he said.

The challenge for an effective handgun safe is keeping pistols and short revolvers safely locked away from unauthorized users, yet within easy reach of the owner, who may need immediate access in an emergency situation.
Unlike larger gun safes, the handgun safe is almost always kept within arms' reach. This means the handgun safe will be located under or attached to the bed frame, in or on adjacent furniture or between the mattresses. Some handgun safes include a security cable to secure the safe to a fixed object. Many of these safes have mounting holes.
Even within close proximity, the handgun safe's lock mechanism must be relatively easy to operate in the less than ideal conditions such as in the dark and under stress.
Handgun safes are built in different configurations. Some safes are a container with a removable or hinged lid along the top or the front. A version of the top-mounted lid is the drawer safe. Others have a tilt-out compartment where the container is bolted against a fixed object.
Depending upon the safe manufacturer, handgun safes are constructed from different thicknesses of steel. Smaller, less expensive models may have a 2mm steel body and 6mm steel door. On the other extreme, the Fort Knox Auto Pistol Box is constructed 3/16"-door with a 10-gauge body steel.
Safe Lock Options
Less expensive pistol safes are usually equipped with a double-sided or keyed tubular locks. The keyed lock requires the authorized person to gain access to the key, insert it in the correct position and operate the locking mechanism, which can be quite difficult during a high stress situation.
Other options are three-wheel combination locks, four- or five-button pushbutton locks (mechanical or electromechanical) or fingerprint recognition locks.
With three-wheel combination locks, each wheel must be rotated to a number between 0-9. In a dark room, light will probably be required to read the dials. Once the combination has been dialed, the knob is rotated to release the lid. This type of sub-compact safe is very small and designed for one pistol or revolver.
Mechanical or electromechanical pushbutton locks require pressing the combination in the proper sequence. Some handgun safes are equipped with a Simplex-style mechanical five-pushbutton lock. Latch retraction occurs once the correct combination has been entered and the knob is rotated. No power or batteries are required for the mechanical pushbutton locks. The mechanical pushbutton lock combination can be changed by the authorized user.
Electromechanical pushbutton locks are the next option. These battery powered locks automatically release once the correct combination has been entered. The location of the pushbutton varies by design and manufacturer. Some handgun safes have a fingerpad that positions the tips of the fingers directly above the pushbuttons to enter the combination. The electromechanical pushbutton lock combination can be changed by the authorized user. Note: Some pushbutton lock-equipped safes have a key override lock in case the batteries fail or the combination is lost.
Fingerprint recognition is the next level of security. Depending upon the manufacturer, the fingerprint recognition software can accommodate up to 120 fingerprints. There are two styles of fingerprint readers/sensors. The swipe model that requires the finger to slide over the reader surface and the static finger print reader/sensor that requires the finger to be placed and kept motionless on the sensor array surface.
To unlock a fingerprint recognition safe with a swipe reader, the activation button is pressed, and the finger that has already been programmed is swiped over the sensor in the same direction as it was programmed. To unlock a fingerprint recognition safe with a fixed location fingerprint reader, the programmed finger is positioned over the sensor and the activation button is pressed. The finger must be placed onto the sensor array in the same position as it was programmed.
Fingerprint readers can have problems with False Rejects Rates (FRR) and False Accuracy Rates (FAR). A false reject occurs when a programmed person's fingerprint is rejected, keeping the safe locked. A false accuracy occurs when a person whose fingerprint has not been programmed is accepted, unlocking the safe.
The Gun Vault MVB500's self-learning algorithm adds new information to the fingerprint templates each time a programmed user operates the fingerprint scanner. This helps to decrease the likelihood of False Reject Rates even over time.
To ensure the fingerprint unlocks, program the same finger a number of times so that, when there is an emergency, the print will be acceptable. This means positioning the finger slightly to the left and right as well as up or down. If there is only one authorized user, program the one finger in a number of different positions.
Safe Features & Models
Handgun safe features vary by manufacturer and may include:
- Spring-loaded door that springs open and remains open after it is unlocked.
- Interior courtesy light for viewing valuables.
- Warnings when the batteries need replacing.
- Tamper indicators and system shutdown after invalid entries.
- Mounting brackets.
Important: If you sell a handgun safe in California, the unit must be approved by the California Department of Justice.
The following are examples of the handgun safes from different manufacturers.
The AMSEC PS1210HD quick access pistol box is equipped with a Simplex five-button mechanical lock with a pry-resistant locking bolt. The welded continuous hinged top opening door is constructed of 3/16" thick steel. The body is manufactured of 10 gauge steel. Four pre-drilled bolt down holes are in the base of the body. This "Made in the USA" safe has a charcoal gray textured finish with chrome hardware.
Fort Knox
The front/top opening Fort Knox Auto Pistol Box is manufactured using 10 gauge steel body and a 3/16" thick steel door. A Simplex style pushbutton lock provides the locking mechanism. Dimensions of the Fort Knox PB Compact are 4" high by 9" wide by 6" deep. A 20-pound, 12" deep model is also available, large enough to secure a tablet. Both pistol safes have four pre-drilled mounting holes that are covered by protective caps when in the front open position.
GunVault has a number of different handgun safes ranging from the key-operated NanoVault to Biometric MiniVault and the Speed Vault. The NanoVault NV100 is compact, measuring 9.5" long by 6.5" wide by 1.75" tall. It is manufactured of 21 gauge steel and comes with a security cable.
The GVB1000 MiniVault Biometric Handgun Safe is manufactured of 16 gauge steel, with inside dimensions of 3" tall by 7" wide by 10" deep. The fixed location fingerprint reader accepts up to 30 fingerprint identifications. The GunVault GVB1000 is powered by a 9Volt alkaline battery. An AC adapter is included.
A variation of the Handgun Safe is the GunVault SpeedVault, available with a pushbutton lock or fingerprint reader. The SV500 surface-mounted unit has a four-button electromechanical lock mechanism with a tubular override lock. When the proper code is entered, the lower portion of the SpeedVault tilts out, providing access to the handgun. All GunVault products have a black finish. Note: NanoVaults are not Department of Justice Approved for firearms in the State of California.
Sentry offers two basic types of handgun safes: the front opening strong box style and the new top lid handgun box. The strong box style is available in sizes ranging from 0.7 cu. ft. to 1.2 cu. ft. The X031 is key-operated with the four other models equipped with electronic keypad-operated locks. The latest are the Sentry Pistol Safes, the QAP1E and the biometric version, the QAP1BE. Both pistol boxes have a battery powered backlit four-button keypad electromechanical lock with key override. These 0.8 cu. ft. safes have pry resistant doors equipped with a compression gas strut that opens the door and holds it open. The biometric fingerprint model stores up to four fingerprints.
Stack-On manufactures gun related enclosures including rifle safes, strong boxes, portable handgun safes and personal cases/boxes. The Stack-On PC650 handgun safe has a single three- to eight-digit electronic combination lock with key override lock. The seven pound, portable case is 11" wide by 8.5" deep x 2-1/4" high. The PC650 weighs 9 pounds. Note: This box is not Department of Justice Approved for firearms in the State of California.
The "Brute" is the new pistol box from VLine. This 22-pound handgun safe is manufactured from 10 gauge steel body and cover with a 12 gauge handle and a welded tip continuous hinge. The clamshell design lid overshadows the body providing forced entry protection. The five-button Simplex style lock operates the lock block and 1" by ½" deadbolt locking mechanism with ½" inch throw. A gas assisted opening strut provides opening assistance. Inside dimensions are 12" long by 9" wide by 3.25" tall. There are four pre-drilled 5/16" diameter holes. The "Brute" is finished in a tactical black powder coating.

The turntable hacked up a melancholy blues
The air was heavy with dust and odors
Several zazous danced while holding to their hearts
Short girls with spasmodic behinds
In a closet, an amateur obstetrics couple
Delivered themselves to games full of art and naivete
Another in a corner attempted with ardor
Tonsil-coupling, to music.
Hands encountered one another under too-short skirts
Drunk, two lovebirds—(what if I said: two dodos?)
Looked everywhere for a bed; they were all full…
Let this happy youth screw itself
Why eradicate from them this ...

Curry Leaf plant - whats wrong with this one?
In an attempt to grow a curry leaf plant, I got one from the nursery and one is growing from the seed. The plant from the nursery went through some rough time in the past but survived. Now it seems getting worse. looks like drying, but watering is not helping.
I used to water daily during summer, but now its every alternate day. The pictures follow so that it gives a good idea of the setup and the plant itself.
The other plant, from the seed is doing well, at least looks like it.
The whole setup looks as follows.
Can anyone figure out whats wrong with it and if this plant is dying. What can I do to get this plant 'healthy' again?
Thanks in advance.
Pls delete this thread. The images are deleted from the server.
Apologies for the double post.
Please continue on http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/asianveg/msg011031583384.html instead.

The Two-Way
Lost Bike Found After 41 Years; Then, The Story Gets Weird
Originally published on Fri May 25, 2012 2:06 pm
In 1970 a young girl lost her banana-seat bike. Lisa Brown was riding it across a rickety bridge in Cape Cod, Mass., when she and the bike tumbled into a little river. The bike sank into the muck and was gone.
Until, that is, the now adult Brown's wife, Deirdre Oringer, came across a rusted bike — banana seat and all — in the woods near where Brown's two-wheeler went into the Herring River.
That discovery happened nearly a year ago, as the Cape Cod Times reported last June, and as it "dramatically" recounted in this quite funny video.
So why mention it now?
Because it seems that Britain's Daily Mail just discovered the story and decided that the headline should be:
" 'It was like finding a long lost friend': Lesbian reunited with bike she lost FOUR DECADES ago after her wife spots it in muddy stream."
As Gawker, which is having some fun at the Mail's expense, says: "What will the lesbians do next?"
Update at 2:05 p.m. ET: Our friend Bill Chappell reminds us of the post he did last October about a man who was reunited with his racing bike after 26 years.

DDG DIY: Paint it black with our framed blackboard tutorial
Sometimes I like to think that I create trends a long time before they become popular without ever actually participating in them. It's an incredibly special skill that I have absolutely no way of verifying since it's not like I can show anybody any proof. For example, two Winters ago all I wanted was a simple pastel pink or blue coat but at the time I had no luck finding one anywhere. Lo and behold the very next fashion week pastel coats were all the rage and were suddenly everywhere (which definitely lessened my liking for them and as a result I never got one). This happens to me all the time and whether it is something I've been planning for years (like my insistence since childhood that when I get married I won't wear white and there will be a taco truck in attendance, which is now so common it is boring!) or an idea for something I want to buy before it exists, the fact that I am all talk and no action means that I end up getting left in the trend's dust.
WANT MORE? If you like the look of our framed blackboard tutorial, then check out more DIY stuff here.
Another of my great ideas that has gained traction involves chalkboard paint. Ever since I first saw a blackboard being painted (I was a child and honestly thought it was just a type of black wood that you could write on) I decided that I wanted a whole wall in my house to be a blackboard. These days that's not a very revolutionary idea and there are heaps of houses that have it, but in the back of my mind I like to think it was my idea (just let me have that, okay?). Since I don't have a whole wall that I can paint at this stage of my life, I'm happy to settle for something smaller, which is why I'm showing you my framed blackboard tutorial. These little beauties make a great addition to your room and also work well as party or wedding decor.
- Frame
- Chalkboard paint (you'll need to make sure you're buying the kind that can be used on glass)
- A roller
- Remove the glass from the frame and place on a surface that you can paint on (such as an old sheet or flat newspaper).
- Pour a small amount of your chalkboard paint onto a flat surface and run your roller through it so the entire length of your roller is covered. You want a thin layer of paint on your roller (if it is too thick you get streaks and bumps).
- Using nice even strokes, cover the surface of your glass with the paint. If you get any lumps just go over them again until it is flat. Think of it like painting your nails — it is better to do a couple of thin coats than one thick globby one.
- Do a second coat of paint, otherwise your board will be see-through!
- Refer to the instructions that come with your paint, but to make your blackboard last (assuming you don't want to just add a fresh coat of paint between uses) let it dry for four hours (or overnight), then bake for 30 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius (325 Fahrenheit). Allow it to cool down with the door open.
- To condition your board, lightly run a piece of chalk over the surface and wipe away.
- Put it back in its frame, then put it on the wall or on your desk!
What are your thoughts on my framed blackboard tutorial? Tell us in the comments below!

This is an awesome quality table cover! We had a family reunion with a patriotic theme and it fit right in. We purchased a lot of items for it from Windy City Novelities and none of them disappointed us. We would definitely recommend them and would buy again!
