Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by seankj1978 great addition Bought the table for our office as an extra work space. Really happy with it. October 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by swisamyromance Love, love love this table My table just came today and it's beyond my expectations. The legs and the top are very, very heavy and sturdy material. Everything screwed together nicely and the directions were easy to follow. It's a great island for my kitchen. I love the industrial/rustic look of it... it's like a custom piece built just for me! It's a BARGAIN for the price! January 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jman First World Market Purchase - Very Happy Took a chance on this table as I have never ordered, or even heard of, World Market before. The price was certainly attractive but I was expecting Ikea type quality. I was pleasantly surprised when the table arrived, it is certainly great quality for the money. They could probably sell this for twice the price at C&B or PB. This table is built very well, is very heavy, and the finish on the wood looks great. They say the table top is faux stone, not sure what it's made of but appears to be some mixture of cement or resin. It is cold and feels like smooth slate, I would compare the color and texture to a chalkboard. Looks great in our kitchen and we also paired it up with the twist swivel stools. Assembly was a breeze and it came packed very well. November 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BonBon ***** I love it...it is perfect for my condo. Fits nicely in the kitchen, gives me additional work space and works perfectly with my decor. April 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by EVE-B Love this table We just got this table today. We recently had our kitchen remodeled and have been looking for a table for the kitchen. We did not want anything overwhelming and wanted to avoid any dark woods since there is alot of dark wood from the new cabinets. My husband spotted this table which is a work bench, pub type table. It was totally a different direction than my original thought, but I really liked the style. I thought it would fit well with our kitchen design. It seemed sturdy and low maintenance which is perfect with 2 little ones. The price of [$] sealed the deal. They drilled the holes underneath in the wrong place and had to drill again so they reduced the price... no biggie for us. May 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by KMJoy Looks beautiful but scratches like crazy I purchased both the Brooklyn work table and the Brooklyn dining table. I LOVE the way they look, kind of beachy but also modern looking with the faux stone top. These tables scratch UNBELIEVABLY easily. Like, if you so much as look at it, it scratches. I found this very odd considering the top is a faux stone material that weighs a ton. It bothered me so much that I ended up returning the dining table. It would probably be a poor choice for a family with children. I kept the work table, with the intention of painting the top with chalkboard paint. I love the look of the table, so I'm hoping chalkboard paint will be the solution. It can't look any worse than it does now. April 8, 2013

Here are answers to some common questions about installing programs. For more information, see Install a program, Uninstall or change a program, and Uninstalling programs: frequently asked questions.
For information about activation and product keys, see Activating Windows 7: frequently asked questions.
No, but you can reinstall your previous operating system, which then replaces Windows 7. To reinstall your old operating system, you must have the original installation disc. Back up your programs and files, insert the installation disc into your computer, and then reinstall the old operating system. To regain the hard disk space used by Windows 7, reformat the disk during the reinstallation process. After reinstalling your previous operating system, reinstall your programs and files.
If you reinstall your old operating system, your files and program settings won't be preserved. Be sure to back up your programs and files first.
Use automatic updating to ensure that Windows stays up-to-date with the latest information from Microsoft, including driver updates. For more information, see Install Windows updates in Windows 7.
Yes. Most programs written for earlier versions of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not run at all.
If an older program doesn't run correctly or doesn't install, start the Program Compatibility troubleshooter, which simulates an earlier version of Windows. You can run the wizard on the setup program itself if the program doesn't install, or you can run the wizard on the program if it installs but doesn't run correctly. For more information, see Make older programs run in this version of Windows
Only administrators can make changes that will affect everyone who uses the computer, such as installing software and hardware and changing security settings.
If the program you are trying to install or run says you must have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right-click the installation icon for the program, and then click Run as administrator.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If the program installs but does not run, right-click the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then try to run the program.
You can usually choose the location of the folder during the setup process. You might decide to change the default location if you have created multiple partitions on your hard disk and want to store programs on a specific partition. It's not a good idea to move program files after they've been installed; if you've moved program files, you might need to reinstall the program to make it work correctly.

|WAC honors Vandal pair
FRESNO, Calif. –
The Western Athletic Conference honored a pair of University of Idaho soccer
Wednesday with the release of its 2011 All-WAC teams at the league's annual
pre-tournament banquet.
Idaho juniors Chelsea Small and Jill Flockhart are repeat
conference honorees after the league's coaches voted each to the All-WAC First
Team. For Small, it was her third-consecutive selection to the First Team, and
Wednesday's honor gave Flockhart her second in a row.
Small, a forward from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines
HS), led Idaho and tied for second in the WAC this season with 10 total goals
and 24 total points. She added four assists and two game-winners this season.
In the process of the 2011 season, she broke Idaho's career records for goals
(31), points (74) and shots (309).
Small was also the 2009 WAC Freshman of the Year, 2010 WAC
Offensive Player of the Year and the 2011 WAC Preseason Offensive Player of the
"It feels really good to get an individual award, but it's
definitely a reflection on my teammates," Small said. "It's great for this team
and this program, and it recognizes everyone for how hard we've been playing
the past few years."
Flockhart, an outside midfielder from Salmon Arm, B.C., led
Idaho and tied for third in the WAC with six assists this season. She pushed
her career total to 11 dishes, which gives her the fourth-most in school
history. She has one game-winner this season, which pushes her career total to
five – second all-time behind Small's 12 winning goals. Two of her assists this
season also led to game-winning goals.
"It's really an honor to be recognized by the other coaches
in the conference," Flockhart said. "It comes down to the back line getting the
ball forward and everyone working hard to get to the goal and finish."
Flockhart joins Small as just the second player in program
history to earn multiple first-team all-conference honors, while Small becomes
the first three-time first-team all-conference honoree in Idaho history.
"Both those players deal with double- and triple-teams, day
in and day out, so they deserve every bit of that," Idaho head coach Pete
Showler said of the honors. "It's testament to the hard work they've put in,
but they'll be the first ones to recognize the players around them for helping
them get where they're at."
Regular-season champion Utah State swept the individual
awards and led all schools with seven All-WAC honorees. USU senior forward
Shantel Flanary was named Offensive Player of the Year, junior Natalie Norris
was Defensive Player of the Year, defender Taryn Rose was Freshman of the Year
and Heather Cairns was named Coach of the Year.
The All-WAC First Team was composed of five USU players and
four Fresno State players in addition to the two honored Vandals.
Small, Flockhart and the Vandal women open WAC Tournament
play on Thursday at Noon (PDT) against San Jose State, with the winner
advancing to Friday's semifinal match against Utah State, also at Noon.

What are some of the local to global principles in different areas of mathematics?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Differential Geometry
The existence of partitions of unity allows one to transfer local results to global ones.
The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem relates the Gaussian curvature (a local quantity) to the Euler characteristic (a global one).
Diophantine Equations
Hasse Condition: If a Diophantine equation is solvable modulo every prime power (locally) as well as in the reals then it is solvable in the integers.
Hasse Principle is that the Hasse Condition holds for all quadratic Diophantine equations.
Graph Theory
A graph has an Eulerian circuit (global) iff every node has even degree (local).
Number Theory
The "original" (in terms of giving rise to the name) local-global principle for quadratic forms over number fields, due to Hasse, has already been mentioned. Here are two further local-global principles in which Hasse was involved.
Complex Analysis
Analytic continuation might be viewed as a local-to-global principle.
Euler Characteristic
If you count the faces vertices and edges (local information) of a polygonal shape then you can compute the Euler Characteristic which tell you how many holes the shape has (global information).
Real analysis
The extreme value theorem can be read as: if a function on a compact set is locally bounded then it's globally bounded. (This is only part of the theorem.) The key word here of course is compact.
Number Theory
If an integer $n \not \equiv 0 \pmod m$ (for any $m$) then $n \not = 0$.
Complex Analysis
If a $\mathbb C \rightarrow \mathbb C$ function can be differentiated (local) then it can be integrated! (Inspired by Qiaochus answer here).
Number Theory
Zeta L-functions and Birch-Swinnerton Dyer conjecture: These are quantifies which are defined in terms of local things (like multiplying together a function on primes) and global information (like class numbers) is extracted from them.
Set Theory
The axiom of choice is local, while Global choice is global.
(Global choice, or Axiom E in the NGB set theory, is equivalent to saying that all proper classes are of the same "cardinality", or there is a well-ordering of the universe)
Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra, $\mathfrak{C}$ a $C^*$-subalgebra of the center of $\mathfrak{A}$ which contains the unit of $\mathfrak{A}$ and for any maximal ideal $x$ of $\mathfrak{C}$ let $I_x$ be the smallest closed two-sided ideal of $\mathfrak{A}$ containing $x$.
Now the local principle by Allan and Douglas says, that $a\in\mathfrak{A}$ is invertible in $\mathfrak{A}$ if and only if $a+I_x$ is invertible in the quotient algebra $\mathfrak{A}/I_x$ for every maximal ideal $x$ of $\mathfrak{C}$.
One can use this result to tackle questions of invertibility and Fredholmness in operator algebras, e.g. one can characterize Fredholmness properties of Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous symbols by means of easily checked properties of their respective symbols.
$$\prod_{p}|x|_p = |x|^{-1}$$ gives a way to piece together all local norms to find the value of a global norm.
And i was studying completely about Hasse's local-Global principle,which has many applications like ,there is a separate fantastic group called the Tate-Shafarevich Group that measures the extent of Failure of Hasse's local-global Principle.it is given by $Ш(E/K)=\mathrm{Ker}(H^1(K,E)\mapsto \prod_{v}H^1(K_v,E))$ which means literally ,"the non-trivial elements of the Tate-Shafarevich group can be thought of as the homogeneous spaces of $A$(where $A$ is an Abelian Variety defined over $K$) that have $K_v$-rational points for every place $v$ of $K$, but no $K$-rational point." and the TS group has many important applications in BSD conjecture,Iwasawa theory....
Number Theory
If $a$ is a square (or $n$th power) modulo every prime power then, since its $p$-adic valuation is even (or a multiple of $n$) for every $p$, $a$ is a square (or $n$th power).
Unlike the Hasse principle for quadratic forms, this works for any degree.
(weak) Nullstellensatz - Commutative Algebra/Algebraic Geometry
Let $I$ be an ideal in $K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, where K is an algebraically closed field. If for every point of $K^n$, $I$ contains a polynomial non-vanishing at that point (local), then $I = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ (global).
Calculus of Variations
A path $\gamma$ that satisfies the Euler-Lagrange equation $$\frac{d}{dt}\frac{\partial s}{\partial \dot\gamma} + \frac{\partial s}{\partial \gamma}$$ at all times (a local condition) extremises the action $\int_0^T s(\gamma, \dot \gamma, t)\,dt$ (a global condition).

And when it did this morning, I cried.
I stepped on the scale and saw that 138 and got THE BIGGEST smile on my face and tears welped up in my eyes.
I have no words to express how proud of myself I am.
I hope you all know how hard I have worked for this.
This is not a quick fix diet I did overnight.
This is 12 months worth of determination and motivation.
Sweat and tears went into kicking and fighting my way through a 60 pound weight loss.
And I only hope I have inspired some of you to want to feel the same.
Without further adieu, here are my
*note* I had to retire the black shorts.. they are MASSIVE on me and did not do my progression pics justice.
Side by side comparisons-
188 LBS. (-10 lbs.)
178 LBS. (-20 lbs.)

Hi Brandi,
My name is also Brandi :) I recently came across your blog and just think you're SUCH an inspiration! I too am on this weight loss journey, 43 lbs lost so far! I wish I would have taken pics at every 10 lbs lost like u did because sometimes i'm still WAY too hard on myself when I look in the mirror! Keep up the good work, maybe i'll start posting more progress pics of myself too :) Take care and God bless!

You are SO AMAZING!
Now.. a request: please pack up your beautiful family, move up here to freezing cold Minnesota, and just follow me around making sure I eat correctly and get my butt moving more. The perk for you...? Free babysitting of adorable little Tucker! Or wait.. I think that's ALSO a perk for ME. He is such a doll!

You do look amazing! I am also 5'6" and went from 153 (after baby #7--11 lbs. 2oz) to 133. I don't think that you need to try and get to 12! You're beautiful now! I think sometimes when we start losing, we think that we have to keep losing and sometimes take it too far! At 133, I looked terrible. My face (which is very thin to begin with) was so hollow that I looked sick! I look my best around 140. I still think that that sounds like a fat number, but I've got to learn to accept it. Also, I can keep to this weight fairly easy and eat what I want....not exactly, I still watch what I eat, but it's not like a diet. :) Take care and good luck!!

Something being simple does not make it easy. Don't forget to pat yourself on the back and give yourself the occasional little "yay me". That's harder for me than the actual workout. Sigh.... As I get healthier, I hope I get better at the "yay me" thing to. Cancer sucks but I 'm beating it a bit every day.

I just have to tell you, this is so inspiring. I'm actually crying right now. I got up to 220 with my 10 lb infant...2 years ago. I got down to 177 bc my job required me to lose the weight, but they wanted me to lose 30 more in a month, and I got discouraged, and it's been absolute crap since then. I'm back up to 194 on a good day, and don't have that job anymore. I've started going to the gym on non school days, and am eating better, but still too much. I feel helpless again, like I won't ever be a normal size again, and I won't ever look like I'm not 4 months pregnant. I was looking at these pictures, and at first, before I saw the side pictures, I thought well, yeah, it's easy to get back there when you don't have the "baby shelf" on the belly. Then I saw the side pics. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there, for putting the real honest pictures here. I'm inspired again, I'm ready to do this. I don't feel helpless anymore. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

Mama Laughlin,
I came across this site through my new addiction Pinterest. First off, congratulations on looking fabulous! You are an inspiration! Secondly, I'm so glad that you are brave enough to share this great progress with the world. And thirdly, thank you so much for showing the world that a fit woman can look good no matter what the number on the scale says. I'm in the process of getting rid of this extra weight, but I'll admit that it's hard to bear that large number at the end of the day. Seeing these progression photos helps me move beyond this stigma. At your 168 mark, you already looked like a beautifully fit woman remind me it's not the number that counts. Although you look even more remarkable at your 138 mark, it just goes to show you that a beautiful woman is a healthy woman. So thank you.

You look amazing! I'm so inspired, I've lost 30 pounds and have 50 more to lose, feeling like I've hit a plateau but seeing your blog helps me have hope!:) any words of wisdom? I'm 5'9" and went from 230 to 190 and aspire to be at 140. Having a hard time with losing the slight excess belly fat, not a lot. And my hips really want to slim them down.

I just had my daughter 10 weeks ago and have been struggling to lose weight. I gained way to much weight during pregnancy and only lost half so far. I've lost 5 lbs within the last 2 weeks and you've inspired me to keep going. How long did it take you to lose that 60 lbs?

You look amazing. I was so inspired by your journey that I have shared your blog with my weight loss support group on Facebook.

Wooo Hooo! What an inspiration you are. I too write a motivational blog about weight loss http://fitat99.blogspot.com
I've had some great times and some rough times (of which I'm going through right now) You've taken it off in all the right ways as I did, but keeping it off takes some real work. In my blog I talk about things that have triggered me "falling off the wagon"...right now I'm immobile after Achilles tendon surgery....but when I am fully recovered I'll be right back at it....we're all different, but I know for me this is a life long battle that I know how to win...and will be right back to the "fabulous feeling--so proud of my self" days again. Thank you for your inspiration!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by whitney126 LOVE these chairs. Found this chair online but shipping was pricey so decided to check it out at my local store. Got lucky and they had 2 left. This chair, as someone else mentioned in another review, is a bit more muted than in the picture here. The colors are not quite as vibrant. This actually worked out a little better for me, so I did not mind this discrepancy. The fabric is sturdy and durable, very good construction and looks very expensive, though it was not. I am in love with these chairs! March 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ninny Cutest Chair Ever I had been looking for a small-sized chair for my home office which is painted a very soft rice-paddy green. I was hoping to decorate with blue/teal accessories. I already have World Market's Emerson bookcase and Asher desk (which are perfect matches for each other). When I saw the chair online and on sale, I knew it would work perfectly. And it does! It fits in the small space I had available for a chair and the upholstery works perfectly in my decorating scheme. And, on top of it all, both my hubby and I think it is very comfortable. I've had a lot of compliments on my "World Market" office, as a whole, and on the Fern Floral Chair, in particular. August 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BIRD13 This chair is very comfy This is a great chair for the money. The colors are alittle less vibrant then the picture but still so pretty. March 14, 2013

How can I contact google in regards to an issue that I am having with the marketplace? I am trying to buy an application and it is not working. Tried to buy another one and that didn't work so I need googles help at this point.
I'm pretty sure that the standard way (that Google want you to go through) to do this is to start by going through the Android Market Help (also available by going to the help menu within the Android Market app) going into the Buying Apps section, a lot of sectsions there have Contact Us links that you can fill in with your problem and details.
If that doesn't help you then can search the Market support forums.

Bulgaria shares a border with Turkey and Greece to the south, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro to the west, Romania to the north and the Black Sea to the east. The capital, Sofia, lies in the western region of the country. Ethnic groups include Bulgarian, Turkish, Roma, and others. The official language is Bulgarian.
The first Bulgarian state was recognized in 681 A.D. and was a mixture of Slavs and Bulgars. Several years later, the First Bulgarian Kingdom or the "Golden Age" emerged under Tsar Simeon I in 893-927. During this time, Bulgarian art and literature flourished. Also during the ninth century, Orthodox Christianity became the primary religion in Bulgaria and the Cyrillic alphabet was established.
In 1018, Bulgaria fell under the authority of the Byzantine Empire. Byzantine rule was short-lived, however. By 1185 Bulgarians had broken free of Byzantine rule and, in 1202, they established the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. Ottoman domination of the Balkan Peninsula eventually affected Bulgaria in the late 14th century, and by 1396, Bulgaria had become part of the Ottoman Empire. Following the Russo-Turkish War (1877-78) and the Treaty of Berlin (1885), Bulgaria gained some autonomy under the Ottoman Empire, but complete independence was not recognized until 1908.
During the first half of the 20th century, Bulgaria was marred by social and political unrest. Bulgaria participated in the First and Second Balkan Wars (1912 and 1913) and sided with the Central Powers, and later the Axis Powers, during the two World Wars. Although allied with Germany during World War II, Bulgaria never declared war on Russia.
King Simeon II assumed control of the throne in 1943 at the age of 6 following the death of his father Boris III. Following the defeat of the Axis Powers in World War II, communism emerged as the dominant political force within Bulgaria. Simeon, who is currently Prime Minister, was forced into exile in 1946 and resided primarily in Madrid, Spain, until April 2001, when he returned to Bulgaria. By 1946 Bulgaria had become a satellite of the Soviet Union, remaining so throughout the Cold War period. Todor Zhivkov, the head of the Bulgarian Communist Party, ruled the country for much of its time under communism, and during his 27 years as leader of Bulgaria, democratic opposition was crushed, agriculture and industry were nationalized, and the Bulgarian Orthodox Church fell under the control of the state.
In 1989 Zhivkov relinquished control, and democratic change began. The first multi-party elections since World War II were held in 1990. The ruling communist party changed its name to the Bulgarian Socialist Party and won the June 1990 elections. Following a period of social unrest and passage of a new constitution, the first fully democratic parliamentary elections were held in 1991 in which the Union of Democratic Forces won. The first direct presidential elections were held the next year.
As Bulgaria emerged from the throes of communism, it experienced a period of social and economic unrest that culminated in a severe economic and financial crisis in late 1996-early 1997. With the help of the international community, former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov initiated a series of reforms in 1997 that helped stabilize the country's economy and put Bulgaria on the Euro-Atlantic path. Elections in 2001 ushered in a new government and president. In July 2001, Bulgaria's ex-king Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha became the first former monarch in post-communist Eastern Europe to become Prime Minister. The leadership in Sofia pursued Euro-Atlantic integration, democratic reform, and development of a market economy. Bulgaria officially became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on March 29, 2004 after depositing its instruments of treaty ratification in Washington, DC. Bulgaria signed its Accession Treaty with the European Union (EU) on April 25, 2005. With the support of all political parties, the Bulgarian parliament ratified the EU accession treaty on May 11, 2005, with a view towards joining the EU in 2007. Following general elections on June 25, 2005, on August 16, 2005, Sergei Stanishev of the Bulgarian Socialist Party became the new Prime Minister of a coalition government.
Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic. The unicameral National Assembly, or Narodno Subranie, consists of 240 deputies who are elected for 4-year terms through a system of proportional representation in 31 electoral regions. Party or coalition lists, rather than individual candidate names, appear on the ballots. A party or coalition must garner a minimum of 4% of the vote in order to enter parliament. Parliament selects and dismisses government ministers, including the prime minister, exercises control over the government, and sanctions deployment of troops abroad. It is responsible for enactment of laws, approval of the budget, scheduling of presidential elections, declaration of war, and ratification of international treaties and agreements.
A one-month official campaign period precedes general elections. The voting age is 18. Preliminary results are available within hours of poll closings. Seats in parliament are allocated both by vote and by voter turnout. The votes for parties who did not receive a minimum threshold of votes are redistributed to other parties proportionate to their own share of the vote. The lists of newly elected members of parliament are announced 7 days after the elections. The president must convene the new parliament within one month after the elections, and calls upon parties, coalitions, or political groups to nominate a prime minister and form a government. If the three largest parties, coalitions, or political groups fail to nominate a prime minister, the president can dissolve parliament and schedule new elections. In recent years, it has taken approximately a month for the new government to form. A general election in Bulgaria was held June 25, 2005. Results are as follows: Bulgarian Socialist Party/Coalition for Bulgaria (BSP) 34.17%, National Movement Simeon II (NMSS) 22.08%, Movement for Rights and Freedom (MRF) 14.17%, Ataka 8.75%, United Democratic Forces (UDF) 8.33%, Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) 7.08%, Bulgarian People's Union (BNU) 5.42%.
The 2001 parliamentary elections ushered in 63 women deputies, placing Bulgaria first within the region according to the number of women currently serving in parliament. The president of Bulgaria is directly elected for a 5-year term with the right to one re-election. The president serves as the head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces. The president is the head of the Consultative Council for National Security and while unable to initiate legislation, the president can return a bill for further debate. Parliament can overturn the president's veto with a simple majority vote. Bulgarian Socialist Party candidate Georgi Purvanov won the November 2001 presidential election and took office January 2002. Presidential elections are expected in fall 2006.
The prime minister is head of the Council of Ministers, which is the primary component of the executive branch. In addition to the prime minister and deputy prime ministers, the Council is composed of ministers who head the various agencies within the government and usually come from the majority/ruling party or from a member party of the ruling coalition in parliament.
The Council is responsible for carrying out state policy, managing the state budget and maintaining law and order. The Council must resign if the National Assembly passes a vote of no confidence in the Council or prime minister.
The Bulgarian judicial system became an independent branch of the government following passage of the 1991 constitution. Reform within this branch was initially slow. In 1994, the National Assembly passed the Judicial Powers Act to further delineate the role of the judiciary. In 2003, Bulgaria adopted amendments to the constitution, which aimed to improve the effectiveness of the judicial system by limiting magistrates' irremovability and immunity against criminal prosecution.
The first, appellate, and cassation (highest appellate) courts comprise the three tiers of the judicial system.
The Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) is composed of 25 members serving 5-year terms. Those who serve on the council are experienced legal professionals and are either appointed by the National Assembly, selected by the judicial system, or serve on the SJC as a result of their position in government. The SJC manages the judiciary and is responsible for appointing judges.
The Supreme Court of Administration and Supreme Court of Cassation are the highest courts of appeal and determine the application of all laws.
The court that interprets the constitution and constitutionality of laws and treaties is the Constitutional Court. Its 12 justices serve 9-year terms and are selected by the president, the National Assembly and the Supreme Courts.

Bulgaria's economy contracted dramatically after 1989 with the collapse of the COMECON system and the loss of the Soviet market, to which the Bulgarian economy had been closely tied. The standard of living fell by about 40%. In addition, UN sanctions against Yugoslavia and Iraq took a heavy toll on the Bulgarian economy. The first signs of recovery emerged when GDP grew in 1994 for the first time since 1988, by 1.4% and then by 2.5% in 1995. Inflation, which surged in 1994 to 122%, fell to 32.9% in 1995. During 1996, however, the economy collapsed due to shortsighted economic reforms and an unstable and de-capitalized banking system.
Under the leadership of former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov (UDF), who came to power in 1997, an ambitious set of reforms were launched, including introduction of a currency board regime, bringing growth and stability to the Bulgarian economy. The currency board contained inflationary pressures and the three-digit inflation in 1997 was cut to only 1% in 1998. Following declines in GDP in both 1996 and 1997, the Bulgarian government delivered strong, steady GDP growth in real terms (4.0% in 1998, 2.3 % in 1999, 5.4% in 2000 and 4.0% in 2001).
In spite of the transition to a new government in July 2001, Bulgaria remained committed to the market reforms undertaken in 1997. Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg's economic team of young, Western-educated financiers continued to implement measures that helped sustain stable economic growth and curb unemployment. The government was expecting a record-high GDP growth of 5.8% in 2004, following GDP growth of 4.9% and 4.3% in 2002 and 2003, respectively. As a result of these moves, in October 2002 the European Commission declared Bulgaria had a "Functioning Market Economy." Measures introduced by the government were targeted at reducing corporate and individual taxes, curtailing corruption, and attracting foreign investment. The government also implemented a set of measures that helped restructure the country's foreign debt and revive the local stock market. It also moved ahead with long-delayed privatization of some of the major state monopolies. But while macroeconomic data reveal private sector growth, a double-digit increase in exports and imports and higher foreign investment, incomes remain low. The new government of Prime Minister Stanishev will need to act on its pledge to secure higher living standards.
In November 2002, Bulgaria was invited to become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and officially became a member of NATO on March 29, 2004 after depositing its instruments of treaty ratification in Washington, DC. Bulgaria's military is currently undergoing an ambitious restructuring program aimed to bring the army up to NATO standards.
Bulgaria also has played an important role in resolving recent interethnic disputes within the Balkan Peninsula. Small contingents of Bulgarian troops are currently deployed with international forces serving in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, as well as Afghanistan. A Bulgarian battalion is currently deployed in Iraq as part of U.S.-led coalition forces there.
Bulgaria, which is advancing towards greater Euro-Atlantic integration, officially became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on March 29, 2004 after depositing its instruments of treaty ratification in Washington, DC. Bulgaria signed its Accession Treaty with the European Union (EU) on April 25, 2005. With the support of all political parties, the Bulgarian parliament ratified the EU accession treaty on May 11, 2005, with a view towards joining the EU in 2007. Bulgaria is a member of the United Nations and in 2002-2003 served a 2-year term as a nonpermanent member on the UN Security Council. Bulgaria served as Chair-In-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2004.
Bulgaria joined the World Trade Organization in 1996. In July 1998, Bulgaria became a full member of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), which called for the reduction of tariffs by 2002 on most industrial and agricultural goods traded between CEFTA countries. Bulgaria has initialed free trade agreements with Turkey, Macedonia, Croatia, Lithuania, Estonia, Israel, Albania, and Latvia. Currently, Bulgaria is holding consultations for launching free trade agreement talks with Moldova as well.
Bulgaria's relationship with its neighbors has generally been good. Bulgaria has proven to be a constructive force in the region and has played an important role in promoting regional security.
The year 2003 marked the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Bulgaria. U.S.-Bulgarian relations were severed in 1950 but were restored a decade later. Bilateral relations between the two nations improved dramatically after the fall of communism. The United States moved quickly to encourage development of a multi-party democracy and a market economy. The U.S. signed a Bilateral Investment Treaty in 1994 and gave Bulgaria most-favored-nation trade status in October 1996.
In 1989, the U.S. Congress passed the Support for East European Democracies Act (SEED), authorizing financial support to facilitate development of democratic institutions, political pluralism, and free market economies in the Balkan region. Since 1990, Bulgaria has received more than $460 million in SEED assistance.
Bulgaria hosts the only fully American university in the region, the American University of Bulgaria in Blagoevgrad, established in 1991, drawing students from throughout southeast Europe and beyond.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RDubs83 Love this chair I was wary of purchasing a chair online without being able to see it or try it out in advance, but this chair arrived quickly and did not disappoint. The deep red color is exactly as pictured (not too bright but definitely a bold look), the chair leg assembly was easy (the legs arrive zipped into a compartment in the underside of the chair and you'll need a pretty long screwdriver), and the chair is comfortable. I am impressed with the quality and really pleased that I was able to find a real leather chair at such a reasonable price. Can't say enough about this excellent piece. February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by greengirl47 Red Leather Mason Chair The red leather chair is perfect. I was worried about ordering online before I could touch & sit in it (the chair wasn't available at any store in my area), but I took a chance and am delighted with its quality, style and beautiful red color. August 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CynicalRealist Very comfortable, nice color This chair is really nice for such a bargain price. The leather is nice -- not super soft, but not tacky or sticky either. The chair itself is very comfortable; my husband falls asleep in it regularly! It's the perfect club chair in an office or anywhere you need to be able to take a break and relax. The red color is not candy-apple bright, but a more grown-up red. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cynth exactly what I expected from the photos I was a little worried about buying furniture online, without seeing it or sitting in it. I called around to see if one of the stores had it on display, but I would have had to drive more than an hour, and the one they had wasn't the red version so it wouldn't have helped deciding about the color. After looking at the photos on several different computers to try and determine the color, we decided to go for it. And it's perfect! It's a dark true red, not orange or rusty, and not purple-ish. And it's really comfortable. I love my new reading chair! Too bad it doesn't have a matching ottoman. :-) June 12, 2013

Key to the success of this program is a state-of-the-art 9,000-square foot strength and conditioning facility, which opened in May, 2003. The University of Massachusetts Athletic Department sends out a special thanks to the football alumni who made this weight room possible.
Varsity Weight Room
The University of Massachusetts Athletic Department opened the doors to the new 9,000-square foot strength and conditioning facility in May, 2003. This facility doubled the previous 4,400-square foot weight room and is now one of the top training facilities in the East Coast.
As one of the finest facilities nationally among NCAA Division I institutions, UMass student-athletes are given the opportunity to become faster, stronger and more flexible enabling them to compete at the highest level.
The weight room has the finest equipment with state of the art audio and visual equipment with satellite television and a 15-foot screen as well as separate televisions. The mirror-lined walls of the weight room contain dry erase boards with team schedules and other pertinent information.
The weight room contains 20 double-sided power racks. Within these racks there are 20 Olympic lifting platforms, 40 squat racks, 40 benches, and 40 inclines.
There are 20,000 lbs of free weight as well as two sets of rubber-coated dumbbells ranging from five to 150 pounds.
There are also four lat machines, 40 pull-up stations, three hamstring curl machines, four glute/ham raises, 40 pairs of lifting chains, four stretch machines and many other selecterized machines. There is also 20 pieces of cardio equipment including ellipticals, stationary bikes, versa-climbers, and treadmills, as well as two 30x30 agility areas and a 20x8 plyometric area.
The strength and conditioning facility also gives athletes the ability to have access to a carbohydrate/protein drink with a ten-gallon supplement sprayer. There will also be two 30-yard dash lanes after the new flooring is installed.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Pests & Problems
Tomato Problems
by National Gardening Association Editors
Some problems with tomatoes are not caused by insects or diseases. Here's a few sommon problems.
Blossom End Rot
This rot begins on the bottom -- or blossom -- end of the tomato as a sunken, water-soaked spot. The spot turns brown or black, dry and leathery as it grows larger. It affects both green and ripe tomatoes and is caused by a lack of calcium in the plant, which is usually the result of a fluctuating moisture supply.
Staked or pruned plants, or plum-shaped fruits are more likely to suffer from blossom end rot than are unstaked tomatoes. The rot often starts if the plants are in the midst of a growth spurt and they're suddenly hit by a hot, dry spell. The moisture stress brings on the problem.
Prevention is the best cure. Concentrate on keeping the water supply even throughout the season. Mulch can be a big help. It conserves soil moisture and keeps down weeds. Cultivating deeper than about an inch within a foot of the plants may damage roots and encourage rot.
One on-the-spot measure for gardeners facing a blossom end rot crisis: Apply calcium right away to the leaves. You can get the calcium in the form of calcium chloride -- sold by some seed companies and by hardware stores in northern areas as de-icing salt. Mix one tablespoon to a gallon of water and spray two or three times a week. This will help some.
Tomatoes often start to crack during warm, rainy periods -- especially if this weather comes after a dry spell. The tomatoes simply expand too fast. They're most likely to crack when they've reached full size and are beginning to turn color. Some varieties are resistant to cracking, such as 'Early Girl' and 'Jet Star'. Again, the best way to avoid the problem is to keep the moisture supply as steady as possible throughout the season and to select crack-resistant varieties.
This is another kind of cracking or scarring. Tomatoes develop unusual swelling and streaks of scar tissue. Catfacing isn't a disease; it's caused by abnormal development of the tomato flower at blossom time. Cool weather may cause the flower problems and older varieties seem to be more susceptible than newer ones.
Blossom Drop
Some years many of the early-season blooms simply fall off without setting fruit. This is the result of cool night temperatures (below 55° F). Some varieties, such as 'Pixie II', will keep their blossoms and set fruit in cool weather. Blossom drop also occurs when day temperatures are consistently above 90° F or night temperatures remain above 75° F in the summer. This is one reason why it can be difficult to get a summer-long crop of tomatoes in the hot sections of the South and Southwest. Certain varieties, such as 'Heatwave', will set fruits well even under hot, dry conditions.

Public works department masters the art of multitasking
One department employee spends every day, spring through fall, tending the landscape at the townships five parks and two open-space parks. This rain garden was built and planted with Chester Ridley Crum Watershed Association. During summer, and the busy leaf season, the township hires part-time help with its parks and blacktop repairs.
Darryl Dixon
For about $750, Assistant Public Works Director, Frank Freeman, devised two brine applicators (100- and 700-gallon capacity) that can be mounted on a pick-up truck and sewer machine (shown here). It would have cost the township thousands of dollars to buy the equipment.
The departments fleet manager works three days a week, and is responsible for nine highway and eight police department vehicles. It takes two months to prepare seven leaf machines. A leaf machine is shown here, at the townships yard waste drop-off and free compost pick-up area.
With everything the department does, one might think its facility would be the size of a small town. Actually, says Public Works Director, Darryl Dixon, its smaller than most people think. We try to be efficient with our space and operations by placing everything strategically within a series of bays, he says. Residents can still come in and out safely.
Nether Providence Township occasionally contracts out major jobs, such as deep sewer work (more than 6 feet deep) or replacing an entire sewer main. The townships highway crew performs its own asphalt repairs with an annual budget of $100,000, but will hire a contractor for a large resurfacing project.
When the taxpayers of Nether Providence Township, Pa. see their parks being maintained, streets repaired, signs replaced, leaves collected, and snow plowed, most probably don't realize it's all being done by the same nine people. For Public Works Director Darryl Dixon and his eight-man team, being self-sufficient is a point of pride.
With a budget of $1.3 million, the staff services 4.7 square miles for 13,000 residents, roughly 15 miles southwest of Philadelphia. Dixon credits longevity for the team's range of skills. As a 22-year veteran of the department, his tenure is topped by at least three others with more than 30 years on the job.
Each employee specializes in a certain field: paving repairs (for 46 miles of township roads), sewers (inspection, cleaning, repairs, and installation), and maintaining the township building, five parks, and two open-space parks (60-plus acres). A part-time mechanic services 17 highway and police vehicles and seven leaf machines. With such a small group, cross training is vital. "We all learn as much as we can about each other's jobs," Dixon says.
The department strives to save time and money by bringing services in-house, such as using a special printer and sign machine to produce new street signs within minutes. This year, Assistant PW Director, Frank Freeman, saved thousands of dollars by devising a 750-gallon brine system and two brine applicators that mount on existing vehicles.
For the past 15 years, the department has generated $30,000-35,000 annually by collecting and composting leaves, and then selling the mulch. The township splits the land lease and equipment expenses with nearby Swarthmore.
"We have one of the hardest working crews around," says Dixon. "Our township manager and board of commissioners really appreciate our efforts. And we even get compliments from residents."

Taken adderall explicitly for studying or midterm/final papers? Considering the amount of reading and papers I have to write for my major, I really am surprised that I never have used it. Let me make this clear though, I haven't used adderall because of any moral reasons, but rather, I never saw a reason to use it because I could manage with all nighters. Granted, I DO use another addicting stimulant to get my work done, caffeine via coffee; so, in a sense, I do use a drug to artificially give me the energy I need.

|Vandals roll to biggest WAC win
MOSCOW, Idaho - The University of Idaho men's basketball team put an exclamation point on the year 2010 with its biggest conference win in 12 years in a 77-47 victory over Louisiana Tech on Friday at the Cowan Spectrum.
Idaho (7-6, 1-1 Western Athletic Conference) started the game on a 9-0 run and never looked back in holding Louisiana Tech (9-7, 0-2 WAC) to just 28.8 percent shooting and converting 13 Bulldog turnovers into 20 points.
"I wish I could bottle that and we could do that every night," Verlin said after the game. "I thought we played as good as we could possibly play there, especially in the first 30 minutes of the game."
The previous big WAC win for the Vandals was last season's 24-point victory at Boise State, 79-55. Idaho hasn't beaten a conference opponent by 30 or more points since a 102-71 victory over Cal Poly on Jan. 10, 1998.
The Vandal defense was as stingy as the offense was efficient. Idaho limited Tech to just 15-of-52 from the field and 5-of-21 (.238) from 3-point range. Idaho also held the Bulldogs without a field goal for a stretch of just over eight minutes late in the second half.
"I thought our defensive intensity was as good as it's been all year," Verlin said. "We did a great job of contesting shots and holding them to one shot, and I thought our ball pressure was really good."
Offensively, Idaho hit 50 percent of its shots from the field (24-48) and also from 3-point range (7-14). The Vandals were also 22-of-27 (.815) from the free throw line. Seven different Vandals registered at least one assist, led by junior Landon Tatum's career-high six, and the team tallied 17 total for the game.
"We don't have that guy who every night is going to go for 20, so when we can all share the ball and keep our turnovers down, that's when we're going to be a good basketball team," Idaho senior guard Jeff Ledbetter said.
Ledbetter led the way for Idaho with his first career 20-point game on 6-of-7 shooting, along with five rebounds, two assists and a career-high three steals. Fellow senior guard Shawn Henderson came within one of a career high with 16 points, along with six rebounds. Junior guard Deremy Geiger was Idaho's third double-digit scorer, as he dropped in 10 points, with four rebounds and two assists.
Louisiana Tech's DeAndre Brown led the team with 13 points, while Olu Ashaolu added nine points and eight rebounds. Brown entered the game ranked second in the WAC with a 16.7 scoring average, while Ashaolu was fourth in the conference at 15.4 points per game.
"Deremy Geiger really stepped up to the challenge in guarding DeAndre Brown," Verlin said. "I thought Brandon Wiley and Luiz Toledo did a great job on Ashaolu. We held them both under their averages."
The Vandals jumped out to a 9-0 lead, seven points of which came off Tech turnovers. Deremy Geiger's 3-pointer at the 12:31 mark gave Idaho a 20-9 lead, and the Vandal lead never dipped below double digits from that point on. Geiger's bucket was the second in a 14-0 Idaho scoring run that saw the Vandals increase their lead to 29-9 with 8:39 remaining in the half.
After taking a 41-29 halftime lead - its biggest of the season - Idaho showed no signs of a second-half letdown. Henderson opened the period by knocking down a 3-pointer, and the Vandals answered every Bulldog challenge early in the half.
Tech's Cordarius Johnson knocked down a 3-pointer to bring the Bulldogs within 19 points at 58-39 with 9:24 to play, then Idaho held Louisiana Tech without a field goal for the next 8:11 of game time. Redshirt freshman Joe Kammerer's layup at 4:21 capped a 16-0 Idaho scoring run that put the game completely out of reach.
Walk-ons Paul Jorg, a freshman from Bothell, Wash., and junior Sheridan Shayne of Boise, Idaho, made their Idaho debuts late in the game. Both players made the team after a preseason open tryout.
Next up for the Vandals is a difficult road trip to Hawai'i and San Jose State next week. Idaho plays at UH on Thursday, Jan. 6, at 9:30 p.m. (PT), and at SJSU on Saturday, Jan. 8, at 7:30 p.m. The Vandals swept the season series with Hawai'i last year and split with the Spartans.
Hawai'i is 9-5 overall and 0-2 in the WAC after an 86-69 loss at Nevada on Friday, while SJSU is 8-5 and 0-2, with an 80-71 loss at Utah State on Friday.

I am at an absolute loss of words...in pure excitement. I consider this the turning point in my collection. I never thought I would come across something as great as this, something that would blow me away. I know exactly what Jon Dano saw in this mask when he said it was the best H2 he ever owned.
Please excuse me if the pics arent the best, I didnt stuff this mask very well, but just thought Id take some quick shots of this grail. I want to thank my good bud benny for giving me the opportunity to own such a masterpiece. H1/H2 search over. This is it, this does it for me.

furry friends
behind (
Pet Friendly

text: Well, this certainly beats any harrowing aviation experience I've had by about ten orders of magnitude. A couple of questions: Were there actual paying passengers on this flight, or was it all Pan Am personnel? And has the crew's story been published in a book? I'd love to read more about it.
