Need a little more Monday sustenance than a Gogurt or a banana can provide? Head over to Little America--that's what I did with Good Morning Utah's Brian Carlson did early today--to fill up on the massive breakfast buffet and get the week off to a hearty start.
Little America was stop No. 1 in the 2012 tour of Utah's famous breakfast spots, which Carlson and Salt Lake mag kicked off last year. Carlson stocked up on first meal treats from the buffet (think bacon, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, fresh fruit and sausage) before learning how to make a cowboy omelette and fold pastries with Little America's Executive Chef Bernhard Gotz. I snacked my way through it all, and truth be told, I'm still full. Please note we're creeping up on the dinner hour.
Last year, SL mag and Carlson stopped by iconic spots, must-stop diners and Dining Award winners, and we'll do it again this year, bringing you new breakfast joints to add to your dining checklist.
Tune in to ABC 4 News next week when we'll be back at stop two.

Sometime ago, I posted shots of the Mondrian in Scottsdale. With a South Beach vibe and an attitude to match, the ultra hip hotel shunned color with serious conviction. Flash forward to 2012. Today this property, now coined The Saguaro, caters to those who clamor for color—the more, the brighter, the better.
Last Friday, I met interior designer Anne-Marie Barton in The Saguaro lobby for an interview before she and her husband Kent attended the Scottsdale Arts Festival. As we sat surrounded by Saguaro's color-drunk decor, I asked Anne-Marie her take on the vivid interior. I wasn't surprised to discover that she isn't a fan. Known for creating sophisticated, calm interiors, Anne-Marie has little use for loud, competing colors trying out shout each other.
While she explained her views on hues to me, two women walked by oohing and ahhing about the electric yellow walls. Obviously, some like it cool, others like it hot. What gets your vote?

Every 48 years, the inhabitants of the remote Indian state of Mizoram suffer a horrendous ordeal known locally as Mautam. An indigenous species of bamboo, blanketing 30 percent of Mizoram's 8,100 square miles, blooms once every half-century, spurring an explosion in the rat population, which feeds off the bamboo's fruit.
For the first time on film, this NOVA-National Geographic Television special captures the massive rat population explosion in vivid detail. The rats run amok, destroying crops and precipitating a crippling famine throughout Mizoram. Rat Attack! follows this gripping tale of nature's capacity to engender human suffering, and investigates the botanical mystery of why the bamboo flowers and why the rats attack with clockwork precision every half-century.

SPECIAL ISSUES: Principles & Guidelines
General Principles
Timely, relevant areas.
Special issues are intended to focus attention on an area of particular interest to the Modeling & Simulation (M&S) community; the topic of the special issue should be timely and relevant.
High quality.
To ensure high quality, the review process must be at least as rigorous as that of regular issues. A thorough, critical, peer review of full manuscripts is required. In general, at least three reviews are given to each paper.
Open access.
The opportunity to publish in a special issue should be open to all potential authors, except in cases where an actual or perceived conflict of interest arises. Access may be provided through a general Call for Papers issued to the M&S community at large, or in the case of special issues derived from conferences, from the Call for Papers associated with the conference.
A proposal for a special issue must first be approved by the Special Issues Editor (SIE) specifying the scope and content for the special issue, motivation and rationale, guest editor(s), etc. The guest editor(s) of the special issue cannot publish papers in their own special issue.
Once the special issue has been approved, the guest editor(s) normally assumes the handling of manuscripts submitted to the special issue, in much the same way as an area editor for the journal (please see Information for Area editor(s)). One important exception is that the guest editor(s) is normally responsible for all communications with authors that have submitted manuscripts to the special issue, e.g., notification of the outcome of the review process, transmittal of reviews, requesting revisions, etc. The guest editor(s) must consult with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal before communicating outcomes to authors, since all final decisions must be approved by an EIC. It is recommended that guest editor(s) use the online review system (in the same role as an area editor) to process manuscripts submitted to the special issue.
Policies: general guidelines
When a SI is accepted for publication, a detailed list of policies and procedures is given to the SI Guest Editor. The following list includes a brief description of some of these policies.
does not have SIs devoted to Conferences (except for a selected group of SCS sponsored conferences)
. Nevertheless, if during a top conference a new important area of research, timely and relevant, is identified, we encourage the conference organizers to present a proposal for an SI in the area. In those cases, the SI-GE will coordinate with the SI Editor a fast-track review process for those top papers. Nevertheless, all call for papers must be open to the whole M&S community and everybody can submit a paper to the SI.
Special Issues Guest Editors (SI-GE) cannot submit a paper to the SI they propose; they act as the coordinators and editors of the issue only. Also, the SI should try not to include papers by authors at arms-length of the SI-GE. The same rules apply to potential reviewers of the papers.
Any paper submitted to an SI which is an extended version of a Conference Papers should be significantly different from the original Conference submission. It is suggested that the paper have at most 30% of overlap with the original submission (i.e., the SI-GE must check that the authors are not sending similar copies of the same work, as Journal papers should be elaborated and extended versions than the Conference versions). A meaningful change is expected in the cases of extended Conference papers. The SI-GE and the author should also check any copyright issues derived from the original Conference publication, and ensure that the copyright and self-plagiarism guidelines of any societies involved are considered.

Hi Guys,
I am developing a simulation for a robot in a warehouse. At the moment the robot and the warehouse are all in Lego.
My task is the following:
I have to develop a GUI for the robot and the crossings(roads/rails) on which the robot is moving on. This means that anytime the robot is moving, i have to visualize its movement on the GUI. Whenever the crossings changes direction, they have to be visualized as well on the GUI. The whole project is i have to visualize all the activities (the robot movements, the crossings changing directions) on the GUI.
The robot uses a Touch Sensor: that is, whenever the Touch Sensor is pressed, then the robot is not moving, and when the Touch Sensor is released, then it means the robot is moving until the sensor is pressed again which indicates that it has stopped.
My question are:
How can i send information from the robot(whiles it is moving) to the GUI constantly to tell the GUI that the robot is moving(in order to update the GUI) till it stop.
I need suggestions how to implement the GUI so that it can update itself in real-time with the robot movements and changing of crossings
I would like to know how to detect if a robot get stuck whiles the Touch Sensor is still in released mode. I am using a robot that uses the Touch Sensor to detect its movement. When the Sensor is pressed, then the robot is still/stop. When it is released, then it is moving.
It is possible that the robot is hindered by an object whiles the Touch sensor is still released. In this case how can i detect that the robot is not moving while the sensor is still released.
All other suggestions are welcomed
Thanks for your help.

ZF-3617: Standardized locale string is not recognized
class Zend_Locale does not recognize standardized locale strings. According to the RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4646 see section "2.1. Syntax" " ... Subtags are distinguished and separated from one another by a hyphen ("-", ABNF [RFC4234] %x2D)." a hyphen is the one and only characted to separate language and country parts of the locale.
Reproduce error with:
$locale1 = new Zend_Locale('en-US');
result: string(2) "en" bool(false)
expected: en-US en-US
Please read the documentation about how a locale string has to look like to be recognised.
This RFC is not supported for now. So this is not a bug but a feature request.
Added support for RFC4646 with r11114
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Only five hours away, make it a trip and drive out to Idaho's capital. Engage in vineyards, dynamic nightlife and everything else you didn't expect Boise to have.
How to get there
Jump in the car for a 5-hour drive north on I-15, and then on I-84 West. 340 miles of barren, rolling hills isn't much to look at once you cross state line, but at least the speed limit is 75.
Where to Stay
Mod meets 2011 at Hotel 43. The art-deco inspired interior resembles something found in the '60s with quaint, small town charm. Bonus? It's in walking distance of fine dining and stumbling distance of the bars. 981 Grove St., 800-243-4622, hotel43.com
Boise River Greenbelt
Time to work up a sweat—you're going to need to burn some calories before cocktail time.

Idaho Wine Tours
Swirl, sniff, but don't spit your way through the Snake Valley region of Boise, where you'll find acres of sprawling grape vines and more than a dozen wineries. Get up-close-and-personal on a custom tour from Idaho Winery Tours, where you'll shoot the breeze with winemakers and get the local dirt from the backseat of owner George Condit's Honda Element. Be careful, though: too much of that huckleberry vodka from Koenig Distillery isn't as enjoyable the morning after. Tours start at $79.95 per person, idahowinerytours.com
Basque Market
Did you know Boise has the largest Basque population in the United States? Get cultured at The Basque Block, grab a bite and brew at Bar Gernika or shop for Basque wines, products and paella at The Basque Market. 608 W. Grove St., 208-433-1208, thebasquemarket.com

ZF-3187: support XRDS, Yadis, & i-names
this is already marked as a TODO in the code, but OpenID 2.0 discovery should support XRDS, Yadis, and XRI/i-names.
Zend are currently reviewing the Zend_Service_Yadis component which is a precondition for Yadis/XRDS discovery support. That component is based primarily on the already released Services_Yadis component in PEAR. Pending unit tests (accompanied by refactoring) and documentation, it should be committed to the Incubator in the near future once the Zend review points are handled.
any way we could help with unit tests and/or documentation?
I wonder if it will get to incubator next year. Or may be you need a help?
Are there any plans to complete and introduce {{Zend_Service_Yadis}} into ZFv1?
Adam, I am working on having this for ZF2, and then we can have a backport relatively easy.
Will it be ready for inclusion in v1.12? If so, mark this issue with label FixForZF1.12

Ninth-Ranked Tigers Remain Perfect In Southern Division, Sweep Ivy Duo
Senior Katie Rigler led the Tigers with a first-half hat trick against Brown, while classmate Molly McBee helped keep Brown from getting close with a pair of second-half goals. It was a well-balanced offensive performance, as Princeton got its 11 goals from eight different scorers.
The first two came from sophomore Diana Murphy and junior Ashley Hatcher, and those helped eliminate any potential early momentum from a 1-0 Brown lead.
Another momentum-blocker for Brown was sophomore goaltender Ashleigh Johnson, who made 12 of Princeton's 13 saves before being replaced late for junior Cece Coffey.
Sophomore Pippa Temple had a team-high two assists, while both Hatcher and Kelly Gross had two steals apiece.
In the nightcap, Princeton got a pair of goals in each quarter and shut the Crimson out in both the first and third quarters en route to an 8-4 victory.
Both Murphy and Jessie Holechek scored two goals apiece for Princeton, which is now 25-1 on the season. Hatcher, McBee, Rigler and Temple each added a goal for the Tigers, who will host George Washington Sunday at 1 pm in the home finale.
Johnson had 15 saves for Princeton, while Hatcher added two assists and two steals.
Brown: 3-0-1-2 — 6
No. 9 Princeton: 6-2-2-1 — 12
Goals: Rigler 3, McBee 2, Murphy, Hatcher, Temple, Lapkin, Klein, Holechek.
Assists: Temple 2, McBee, Rigler.
Steals: Hatcher 2, Gross 2, Dunstan, Rigler, Hallock.
Saves: Johnson 12, Coffey.
Harvard: 0-2-0-2 — 4
No. 9 Princeton: 2-2-2-2 — 8
Goals: Murphy 2, Holechek 2, Hatcher, McBee, Rigler, Temple.
Assists: Hatcher 2, Hooks, McBee, Temple.
Steals: Hatcher 2, Hooks 2, Murphy, McBee, Holechek, Gross.
Saves: Johnson 15.

I searched through the Bizon threads and didn't find anyone who'd scored a real Russian magazine. However, Calico's web site now lists their 50-round helical 9mm magazine for $132 and the 100-round one for $157. From comments I found on some older threads on the web, this is about half the price they used to be.
Web searching returned lots of complaints about Calico's service and back order problems, but if they actually have the things in stock now... if someone is stalled on a Bizon build, it might be worth a call.
I realize the Calico mag doesn't look quite like the Bizon mag, nor will it fit a Bizon receiver, but some Bondo to smooth it out and some magwell fangle might make one a workable substitute until the real thing came along. Or if you just wanted to build a 9mm with a hairspray-can magazine, you might not care.
The Calico mag sits behind the breech and the Bizon sits ahead, so the cartridges are pointed in the opposite direction. From the exploded views, it doesn't look like it would make any difference in the Calico mag.

There was much to celebrate at the 1996 induction ceremony: The long-awaited Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum had opened the previous fall in Cleveland, Ohio, with a star-studded mega-concert.
Some unique performances took place this evening as well. The Velvet Underground played their first U.S. gig in twenty-five years, a bittersweet occurrence for Lou Reed, John Cale, and Maureen Tucker, since the 1995 death from cancer of founding member Sterling Morrison. The surviving Velvets memorialized him by writing and performing "Last Night I Said Good-Bye to My Friend." And Jefferson Airplane, including original members Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, and Spencer Dryden, played together for the first time since 1970.
For the first time ever, an inductee accepted without saying a word. His battered banjo on his back, Pete Seeger, who was inducted after a long speech by Harry Belafonte and an amusing speech by Arlo Guthrie, just took the statuette and smiled.
Madonna accepted for David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull performed a raspy "Rebel Rebel" in his honor. Stevie Wonder made the induction presentation for Little Willie John after performing "Fever" with John's son (performer Keith John, a member of Wonder's band).
Accepting the honor from Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, Pink Floyd members David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason acknowledged absent band members Roger Waters and Syd Barrett.
In tribute to Gladys Knight and the Pips, Joan Osborne, backed by Stevie Wonder, sang a powerful version of "Heard It Through the Grapevine." Faithfull, Darlene Love, and Merry Clayton introduced the Shirelles. The legendary, first-ever girl group performed a medley of their hits after Shirelle Beverly Lee raved, "We deserve this!" followed by the question, "What took you so long to induct us?"

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: CD version of an old favorite; interlocking stories set in WWII (the theme just keeps coming up…); a prison bio I read before it became a hot new TV series; the best book of the year, in my opinion; a memoir of widowhood; and a novelistic send-up of the publishing industry.
The Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy O'Toole
I remembered this book from way back as one of the stellar reading experiences of my life, so when the CD version fell into my hands, I knew I was in for a fabulous ride (literally, since I listened to it on my commute). Oh that Ignatius, one of the world's greatest tragicomic characters. He's bigger than life, sententious, idealistic, self-absorbed, and a magnet for calamity. He lives with his poor put-upon mother who tipples and eventually runs out of patience with him. The setting is another bigger-than-life character: New Orleans. Ignatius gets a job at Levy Pants, a foundering firm, and decides to free the factory workers with a "Crusade for Moorish Dignity." When that fails spectacularly he launches other hare-brained schemes with equally chaotic results. The actor does all the voices with gusto: Ignantius' booming "Oh My God!, epicene lispers, and black Jones' repeated cries of "oo-wee" and "whoah! Like crazy music to my ears. Highly recommended.
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
Another book placed in WWII in England with interlocking stories. Actually a tangled chain of them and the grand literary trick of starting in one year, backing up 3, backing up 3 again which finally reveals why everyone's got their knickers in a twist, as it were. We start in '47 with a couple, Helen and Julia, at odds. An eccentric isolated woman, K, lives above Mr. Monday. He's a retired prison warden and a Christian Scientist who does vigils for the afflicted every evening (hence the book's title.) His lodger, who calls him uncle and tucks him into bed every night, is a haunted young man, Duncan. Duncan's sister Viv, who works in a matchmaking bureau with Helen, is dating a married cad, Reggie. Everyone's struggling with ill-fitting relationships, loneliness, and/or dark secrets. Rich and sad.
Orange is the New Black by Piper Kermin
Cute, sweet, middle class, blond, a graduate of Smith. What's she doing in the Pen? Misspent early adulthood with a high-living lover, Nora, who led her into in the drug smuggling trade. Piper extricated herself, or so she thought, and took up with Larry, a good guy. Ten years later it all comes down and off she goes for 13 months to the Danbury Correctional Facility. She's determined to get through it intact, which means learning an insane new culture fast and keeping a low profile. She has a fabulous support system, including a steady stream of books. What a crash course and in the process she makes some really good friends among her fellow prisoners. Also she sees close up how totally broken the system is. We get jailhouse recipes including cheesecake, craft projects, craftiness, meltdowns—what a gamut. Her tone remains pretty perky throughout, but reflection, regret, and anger creep in too, appropriately.
Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon
Far From the Tree (CD version)
I think I've been waiting for this book my entire life. It covers almost everything that fascinates, puzzles, and concerns me about the human condition. Subtitled: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity--sounds pretty straightforward. But what parents, what children, and what incredible challenges: autism, schizophrenia, deafness, dwarves, transgender, children of rape, children who commit crimes. How can they cope, how do they feel, what might be positive about such dire circumstances? The book is full of paradoxes, like parents who say their lives are deeply enriched by their very damaged children. Many moral tangles, many heartbreaking tales. Solomon weaves stories and science and philosophy seamlessly. We hear his story, too--a gay man who finally makes peace with his family, and starts one of his own. 700 plus pages, plus 260 of notes, index and bibliography. I raced through it but had the chance to savor on CD (many CDs) and loved the author's delivery in which emotion broke through his reserve,e subtly but palpably.
Epilogue by Anne Roiphe
Roiphe's husband of 4 decades died suddenly. There she was, almost 70, an esteemed writer in her own right but lost without him out in the world. He was a psychotherapist and a very good stepfather. Her daughters put an ad in The New York Review of Books and with curiosity mixed with reluctance, she tried out some dates. For the most part they were busts, but one went quite a distance via email and phone until she realized they were essentially incompatible. By the end she recognizes that perhaps she'd be better off alone, and after the grief lifted somewhat, not so bad off after all. New York setting, graceful and candid writing.
Love is a Canoe by Ben Shrank
What a peculiar book! At first it almost turned my stomach with the homilies of Peter, author of Marriage is a Canoe, a beloved, oft-reprinted description of his grandparents' ideal relationship and the lessons therein. Norman Rockwell, Mitch Albom—you get the drift. But then we learn that to beef up an anniversary reissuing, ambitious publishing hopeful Stella suggests a contest: an afternoon with Peter himself for the winning couple with a canoe ride thrown in. Emily writes the only possible entry (the other entries are too anguished or grotesque). Things are a bit strained between her and her charming but increasingly distant spouse. The denouement is a predictable, entertaining mess. Good send up of the publishing industry, and of course we discover that Emily's "canoe," despite its shiny appearance, was too flimsy for the long ride anyway.
Back next Monday
I'm particularly interested in reading Epilogue. At present Joan Didion's Where I'm From has captured my attention, and it's funny because it's not typically the kind of book I would choose to read, but I'm diggin' her style :)

Ornamental Friendships, or The Real Thing?
By Jim Bishop The ornaments of our home are the friends who frequent it. This thought, not original with me but firmly implanted in my thick cerebrum, reverberated down the cobwebbed corridors of my mind as once again I participated in the ancient annual ritual of decorating our Christmas tree. In some ways, this process has followed a similar pattern ever since A ...More

Our kids equipment is all made with the same indestructible quality and warranty to back it up as our adult equipment. We know that kids train hard and they need the proper protection just like adults. We want our kids and we have improved our product where ever possible to give better protection and be safer for the kids.
Boxing Gloves arguably are the most important tool in training. Boxing and Thai Gloves have come close to perfection with years of people training in combat sports, yet there are still improvements that can be made. Using top quality material is the most important in the production of boxing gloves, because of the sheer volume of use they get. Your boxing gloves have to last through countless hours of training. That is why we have created a new industry standard, the One-Year Equipment Warranty on all Boxing Gloves.
A new hybrid Boxing Glove had to be created for MMA Training. We are the first company to implement modifications in traditional boxing gloves. Boxing for MMA is not the same as traditional boxing. There are different angles, as well as the "ground and pound" game, so it is important to properly protect yourself and your sparring partner. The innovative changes we have made to the glove will improve your ability to train effectively and safely.

Tim Quinn, celebrity face designer for Giorgio Armani Makeup, made up the second lady for the inaugural festivities. "I wanted Dr. Biden to look fresh, understated and elegant," he says.
Quinn started by mixing Biden's personal favorite Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation with Fluid Sheer #7 (a pale shimmering rose tint) to warm up her fair complexion. He then topped off the foundation with a dab of Fluid Sheer #10 (a warm gold tint) for added radiance.
He applied Maestro Eraser Dark Circle Concealer to her under-eyes to conceal and brighten. To create a standout (yet appropriate for daytime) eye look, he used Eyes to Kill Palette #8 (a combination of soft gray shadows), Eyes to Kill Waterproof Eyeliner ("crucial for an emotional day") and Eyes to Kill Mascara. To complete the look, he swiped on Rouge D'Armani lipstick in #512 (a mauve-pink), layered with Gloss D'Armani Lacquer #513 Roseperla for a glossy finish.

Shame on H Wayne for his treatment of dolphin history. "Losing" an 11 foot tall statue of Joe Robbie during renovations and then essentially forgetting about it for 5 years is pretty remarkable.
And then for Stephen Ross to also ignore history until Mike Dee stumbled onto it in a storage shed is kind of sad.
So props to the fins for taking it out of storage and putting it on display in the Joe Robbie plaza. Maybe this will start the exorcism this team desperately needs.
But here's my problem with it. They pull it out, tell the media, and say "we are honoring our past." But they also tell us it will be part of the pregame celebration Monday night. Along with the 9/11 tribute.
I'm sorry. Those things simply don't go together. I'm glad to see each of these actions, but how about remembering Joe Robbie at another time?
It just becomes another example of how the fins just can't to celebrate and embrace their own past cohesively.

I know what you're thinking: what am I doing reviewing Jolly Rancher Chews when I don't even like the regular Jolly Ranchers? Well, didn't I say I'd try anything once? I admit, I was curious to see how the authentic Jolly Rancher flavors translated into a chew. I'm not big on hard candies to begin with, so perhaps the different texture is enough to make me change my mind about the flavors. Only one way to find out!
Immediately out of the box they remind me of Starburst, but with subtle differences. The chews are rectangular as opposed to square and they're also extremely colorful. They must pump a lot of food coloring into these babies. Popping one into my mouth and I can feel a difference right away. The chew is not as long as satisfying as I'd like. Still, they hold their own nicely and are a great option when you want something chewy with those familiar tart flavors.
Green: Green Apple. I expected this to be terribly fake tasting, but it didn't end up being so. Yes, since it is Jolly Rancher, it still manages to taste fake to me. But here a majority of it comes off as very authentic. There's a nice tartness to it that tastes of a fresh granny smith. It still really gets the saliva going.
Pink: Watermelon. The flavor is not as artificial as the actual hard candy. It's much lighter with fresher notes of melon. It still has that strange zestiness to it though.
Red Cherry, yet it doesn't taste of cherry. It's very tart, sort of woodsy with deep flavors that strike me more like plums. It's more of a tart generic "red" flavor. It has a bitter finish reminiscent of medicine.
Blue: Blue Raspberry. Wow, this tastes very fake, even more than the original candy. It's very fruity, floral with a bubble gum essence to it. Maybe that's where the fake intense sweetness comes from? I also taste a little melon in there too. Odd how it's overall effect is blue raspberry. Very strange.
I was hoping that these chews would change my mind about Jolly Ranchers, but they didn't. I think I have learned my lesson and will move on to better things.
Rating: Not Worth It

We are living in the day when God is about to release His glory. The
supernatural realm of the Holy Spirit is our inheritance. God did not
intend that we would just have religious head-knowledge, although we
should know the Scriptures.
The miracle power of God, the
Angels, heavenly visitations, are supposed to be a normal part of our
lives. My book, Living in the Supernatural, will help you to enter into
your inheritance in Christ. God wants you to be free from the spirit of
religion. It will keep you from God's best and keep you in measure
instead of fullness.
Condemnation, fear, false standards,
intimidation, unbelief, inferiority etc. are all manifestations of
Satan's attack against your fulfilling the great destiny that is in your
life. Everyone of us has a destiny to fulfill and God's supernatural
power and anointing is available to us. My books, tapes, and articles
will help you to leave behind the negative imprints of the enemy.
With Many Blessings,
Watch as Sid and I talk about your inheritance, chariot rides, and the angels.

I also have a Yugo pouch (post 91) that is in their current camo pattern, and another that is just green canvas with brown leather piping (no lining).
how is the sling installed so it can be used as a easy sling in the underfolder position or as a quick sling for shooting offhand? dobra-ahno
There are 3 or 4 variations in Yugoslavian cloth slings. I have owned dozens of them from the SKS, M70, M76 etc. Different era and vendors for variations but they were interchangeable. Buckles facing both directions etc.., slight weave and color variations etc. as well.
Pouches also with several variations in the buckles and hardware etc.
This would be for a M72. I can't begin to quantify the amount of searching I've done for an accurate Yugo sling for this rifle. I know there are quite a few variations out there, and some people even use the sling for an SKS, but the purists out there are quick to point out the differences between the widths and buckles. The problem is finding one.
As noted I have a lot of Yugo slings and the variations. Some direct from the M76 crates, virgin kits etc.,. They varied and interchanged with no regard to model AFAIK. Simply manufacture differences by factory etc. The Serbian maniual;s for 59/66, M70, M72, M76 that I own make no distinction between sling models etc.
Only the M92 differs as does the early M59 and a few 59/66 leather sling type.
If you have other distinct milspec manuals, pictures or documentation please post/share them.
This is the only info I can add, but even this site shows the SKS, AK & RPK look the same. OH the AK/RPK pic sucks, it's rolled up
Yugoslavian Slings
A pictorial of Yugo sling variations by jonpo at AKFORUM. AFAIK., from all indications, the slings are universal and interchangeable. The variations are simply manufacturing differences seen in many milspec articles.

Nice jacket with big flawed
By Souren H
from Virginia
About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
Very nice jacket, material was not as nice as I was expectinig it to be however it was ok. I ended up returning the jacket because of 2 big flaweds. The Jacket length was about 1-2 inches longer than it should be but the worst was the elbow patches are swoed on 1-2 inches higher than were they should be especialy when one bends his arm they are half way up between the elbow and the arm pit. looks very very awkward.
I like this jacket!

Practical, casual, some minor nits
By Cris
from Northern California
Overall a good value if bought on sale.Fit and style: L fits well on my US 42-43 suit jacket frame. Sizing is of necessity not too precise; cut is fairly classic (albeit no vents).Minor nits include the contrast leather trim on the side pockets and sleeves which detract from the "low-profile" use of this jacket - one does not want the jacket to attract attention. Also, there are no pockets designed for pens or for sunglasses.There are many pockets, a key lanyard, even a clip for an ID to hang out of the top exterior pocket - and the lapels actually button together for those times one is caught in a windy/cold environment. This jacket is not the same as a good wool blazer - it won't look dressy because of cut, material (cotton) and color (tan). Thus it may not be the only jacket one has to carry on trips depending on taste, occupation, and destination.It does not look good right out of the box (it shows fold wrinkles), but the materials and finish are good for a casual garment.

Between movies such as 1977's Smokey and the Bandit and 1981's The Cannonball Run – both starring Burt Reynolds – I've long dreamt of hitting the open road with adventure at every turn. When the first film debuted in the late 70s, I was driving a 1967 Ram Air Oldsmobile 442. Of course, with that kind of equipment at my disposal, visions of cross country exploits were inevitable. Alas, it wasn't to be. Jobs, money, a switch to a Toyota Celica and a fear of going to jail derailed those fantasies for good. Or so I thought.
Lo and behold, I now have a chance to live out that dream… sort of. Come Sunday, September 23, I am embarking on the 2012 Fireball Run: Northern Exposure, along with three other teammates. The only difference between this adventure and those on-screen antics I was so captivated by is that we can't speed. The Fireball is more like a game of Trivial Pursuit for eight hours each day, for a week, in a moving automobile traveling a circuitous route from Independence, Ohio, to Bangor, Maine. It's not an exact facsimile, but I'll take it.
Which leads me by way of my elbow to one of the great joys of a road trip – listening to music along the way. Being the highest ranking music honcho (the only one, in fact) in the car, I have lined up a road-ready panoply of tunes for our driving pleasure.
First, we'll have at our fingertips and at all times the new 24/7 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame station on Sirius satellite radio, channel 310. We'll have an iPod loaded with three of the interactive playlists featured in the Museum: the Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll, One Hit Wonders and the Hall of Fame Jukebox, featuring cuts from all of our Inductees.
Moreover, to make sure we are channeling the true spirit of the American road, I'll be bringing along my favorite car songs. If you know anything about the history of rock and roll, you are aware that songs about cars are about as essential to the rise of this music as the solid body guitar. It follows then that three of the records most often mentioned as the first rock and roll numbers are car songs. Let's start with the original version of "Hot Rod Race" by Arkie Shibley in 1950, then fast forward to Ike Turner and Jackie Brenston's "Rocket 88" in 1951 and, four years later, Chuck Berry's "Maybellene." For sure, we'll be blasting those great rockers, but there are so many more. Here are a few of the highlights I'll be spinning, both well-known and obscure. What songs would be on your road trip playlist?
A great West Coast thumper recorded by the band War and appearing on the group's 1975 album Why Can't We Be Friends?, "Low Rider" remains among the great musical salutes to automotive culture.
The late Jerry Reed was one of the great pickers, though he's better known as Bandit's sidekick in Smokey and the Bandit and the purveyor of the crossover hit "When You're Hot, You're Hot." "Lord, Mr. Ford" was the only single from his 1973 album of the same name.
The venerable Robert Johnson's first single, recorded in the mid 1930s, is certainly one of the earliest (and not-so subtly raunchy) homages to the automobile: "And when I mash down on your little starter / Then your spark plug will give me fire."
A prescient car song if there ever was one, Vernon Green and the Medallions' "Buick '59" was obviously channelling "Rocket 88." Interestingly, the group was singing about a car that wouldn't appear until five years after the record's release in 1954.
When Todd Rhodes and Connie Allen delivered this ditty in 1952, they weren't looking to the future. Rather, it was penned during that fantastically lascivious, double entendre period when everything was about sex.
Here's one of my favorites from Sonny Day & the Versatiles. Sonny sings about his dream car, which had just about everything and then some: "Got a cute little filly sittin' by my side / she want to go for a Speedillac ride."
The Treniers were one of the first truly great rock and roll ensembles, and they hailed from my hometown of Mobile, Alabama. Anyone who ever saw them live never forgot it. They were still knocking them dead until just a few years ago, roughly six decades after they started.
"My Old Car" is one of the only shuffle beat New Orleans car songs. Written by the prolific Lee Dorsey, "My Old Car" was the amusing tale of a poor guy simply trying to make it home, counting the miles and lamenting: "Oh, what I'd give to be home / Resting my bones."
With rollicking, twanging guitars, this 1961 hot rod instrumental by the Duals comes complete with revved up sound effects befitting its title.
I'd be remiss not to include at least one Beach Boys car song, as they dominated the genre for a good long while, and "409" – Brian Wilson and company's paean to the hot rod staple Chevrolet 409 – wonderfully captured the enthusiasm of driving when released in 1962.
Can you imagine? The actor Robert Mitchum had a real ditty in 1957 with "The Ballad of Thunder Road," a song close to my lower Alabama and Nascar roots.
The answer record to "Hot Rod Race" by Arkie Shibley, "Hot Rod Lincoln" was a great 45, whether performed by Charley Ryan (in both 1955 and 1959) or the more familiar version cut by Commander Cody in 1972.
What more can you say about the poet laureate of rock and roll and the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame American Music Masters honoree? This particular tale of road-born rebellion delivered the goods with Berry's singular brand of storytelling: "There had a speed sign sittin' at the top of the hill / It said, '35 miles and stay in line' / But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never read the sign."

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 16 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ThriftyG Great Buy! I purchased the Carved Wood String Lights for my daughter to use in her dorm room for one of her Christmas gifts. Her old string lights went kaput after 5 years of loyal service. After looking at many other places online, I was thrilled to find these Carved Woods String lights at World Market. My daughter is very pleased with them. They are now hanging up in her room until she returns to school. The lighting is soft and subdued and the carved wood look is right up her alley and the price was right! Please keep carrying these World Market so we can purchase another couple of sets! January 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jammin2 These are truly unique wooden lanterns. I am totally in love with these unique wooden lanterns. They not only add just enough everyday ambience in the room, I am leaving them up indefinitely for the holidays. So far, visitors that have seen them up in my dinette area love them as much as I do. December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JudyKazootie Lovely! These are lovely, delicate string lights that bring a soft glow to our deck at night. After reading others' reviews, I'm handling them carefully, taking them in when rain threatens--as it seems to be doing all summer long :( . July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mydesiree Much better than expected! These lights in person are beautiful! I love how the carved wood looks. They put off a darkish orange light, and not much at all, but adds a nice touch to a decorated area. LOVE these lights! I have them hanging with the Harbour Stripe Battery-Operated Paper Lanterns also sold by World Market. Makes for a great looking deck! July 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chaching Elegant and stylish I couldn't be happier with these string lights. They are exactly what I was looking for, and for such a great price! The individual lights are much bigger than I expected; the square one is about 2 1/4" wide on each side. The wood cut outs seen through the red glow offer a nice ambiance to any room for entertaining or just relaxing by yourself. For now I've decided to hang them on the ceiling of my patio. I originally intended to hang them along the outside edge, but as one of the reviewers said, they are too delicate to leave out in the weather. And they're far too pretty to abuse in such a manner; I want to preserve them as much as possible so I can enjoy them in the years to come. In fact, I like them so much I'm considering ordering more. July 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mazzy Lovely, warm lights These are really pretty in person and when lit give off a reddish glow. They will be a perfect addition to our yoga room! Great price too and they arrived one day after I ordered them! February 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Adds Character to Any Setting! I originally found these lights on ebay from another company going for thirty dollars. I was going to buy them, but as soon as I tried I was told the listing had ended and they were already sold! I loved how they looked so much I searched the internet and found them here, quickly buying three sets. Now that I have them, let me tell you that they're just as charming in person. In any dim room your eyes are immediately attracted to them. Couple that with the delicate cutouts and you have a wonderful way to make any room seem warm and unique. I would like to point out that if you plan on stringing them along an open wall, the space between the plug and the first light is very small, so have an extension cord to make up for that accordingly. Also, they're a very thin and porous wood so as other people have mentioned, I WOULD NOT leave these outside for extended periods of time! Use them for a patio party, but don't expect them to endure the elements. They're not permanent garden fixture material, but they'll look lovely in any room. ^^ Really wonderful looking, nice orange glow, and will bring detail to any place you put them. August 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ivanka in Texas Warm ambiance Since the bottoms of the lanterns are flat, they can be set them on a surface or hung. I have a raised white limestone hearth and this strand fits perfectly across it, so I placed them on the surface. The lights look fantastic on my hearth, and they add a nice warm ambiance to the space. They look artsy and creative, and I get compliments on the look and feel they give to the room. I love them! They have a warm, soft, subtle glow that also works as a nightlight since I leave them on all the time, and the bulbs don't add much heat to the room. Beautiful! August 3, 2011

|Weyl's formula describes the characters of the irreducible representations of compact connected Lie groups. Atiyah and Bott pointed out a long time ago that there are close connections between the character formula and K-theory. I shall reexamine those connections in these lectures, partly to illustrate some of the basic features of K-theory, and partly to prepare for the case of noncompact groups, where similar connections ought to link the Baum-Connes conjecture to geometric representation theory. I shall begin with an introductory account of the character formula in lecture one, and then discuss basic K-theory in lecture 2 before venturing toward more specialized topics.

Didier Reynders meets with Augustin Matata Ponyo Mapon, Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders met with Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Augustin Matata Ponyo Mapon this morning.
Prime Minister Matata and Deputy Prime Minister Reynders discussed the situation in eastern Congo. They also discussed the latest developments and the information that came out about the final report from the experts who had been appointed by the United Nations Sanctions Committee. The continued deterioration of the situation in Kivu must, remain on the international agenda, say the two ministers. The ongoing regional efforts must also quickly lead to a result. The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of quick progress in the reform of the security sector. He also advocated for the potential strengthening of the MONUSCO mandate.
The two ministers then discussed economic issues and measures that were taken to reform the Congolese economy. The economic situation in the Congo is improving and reforms have been initiated to combat the "dollarisation" of the economy and to improve the public administration and investment climate. The Prime Minister explained that the accession of the DRC to the "Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires" (OHADA: Organisation for the Harmonisation of Business Law in Africa) will lead to a simplification and harmonisation of business law. This must reinforce positive trends. Belgium also supported this good progress by waiving the DRC's bilateral debt. The two ministers planed the establishment of a bilateral working group that will study and support the economic and financial reform processes and which will be able to simplify and improve the business climate.
Finally, they discussed internal Congolese files, such as the activities of the Parliament for the reform of the National Independent Electoral Commission, the election of a representative for the opposition, and the trial regarding the murder of the human rights activist Floribert Chebeya.
Prime Minister Augustin Matata Ponyo Mapon is travelling around Europe and visiting Belgium and Germany. In Belgium, he will meet with the Presidents of the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate, the Prime Minister and the Minsters for Finance and Defence. A meeting with the European authorities is also on the programme, including with the President of the European Commission and Commissioners Piebalgs and Georgieva.
