Skill Level Intermediate
In this lesson, we're going to see how to do background work in HTML5, by using a Web Worker. This is very handy, if you have some long running task that you need to perform, like a complex calculation. Or if you need to call a webservice that maybe takes ten seconds to come back. You really don't want to do that on the main user interface thread because it would block the user interface. Instead, you can start a BackgroundWorker, like I've got in this example. And in the background, some background work is going to happen while the main user interface remains responsive. So what just happened there? When I clicked that button it created a Web Worker, which posted this message to a background thread. And in the background thread, it spent five seconds being busy and then it posted this response back to the main page.
Now there's no limit on the number of Web Workers you can create from a main page. For example, if you wanted to call five web services that might each take ten seconds, then you can do that concurrently. Create five Web Workers, all of them running at the same time as background threads. So to illustrate, let me click this button several times. I'm going to click it three times, once, twice, three times. I have three BackgroundWorkers running now, three Web Workers, each of them running concurrently. And after five seconds, each of them came back.
So thread number two started at 154113 and it finished at 154118, five seconds later. And thread number three, that one started at 15:41:14 and it finished at 15:41:19. Again, that's five seconds later. So you can have any number of background threads running at the same time. And while they're running, the main user interface is still usable by the user. They can also cancel a BackgroundWorker.
So, for example, if I start the worker here, and before the five seconds elapses, if I click this button, it'll cancel that Web Worker and its finished now. So let's see how this works. First of all, notice that the white page I am using, simpleeco.html, is being run through a web server. On my machine, I have Internet IIS for Microsoft, I've copied these files on to the web publishing folder for IIS, which is inetpubwwroot. So, let me show you simpleecho.html in the editor.
Here it is, simpleecho.html. As you can see, I've copied it into the inet pub, wwwrootnet folder. It's also in your project files folder, if you want to explore. There's also another file involved. The Javascript file here, is the place where the background work happens. This is the way Web Workers work. In order to perform work in a background thread, you have to put that work into a Javascript file, and then run it from the main page. So let's look at the details.
Go back in to the main page here, simpleecho.html, and I'll just skim down to the bottom first, just to show what the basic page looks like. So we have the two buttons, one button that starts a BackgroundWorker, and one button that cancels a BackgroundWorker. A text there, we have the space all the messages come back from the Web Woker. Okay, so when my main web page is loaded, this is the initialization code. We just handle the buttons, and we get the result area. At the top of my script, if I just take it back to the top of the code here, I have declared some global variables.
Most interestingly, I think, is on line 16. Because I want to have multiple Web Workers running concurrently, and I want to be able to track them, then here I've created an array. That array will have a new Web Worker object added to it, every time I click the Start button. So in my example here, every time I click start, it'll create a new Web Worker object, and add it into the array. I want to click cancel. What the Cancel button does, is effectively to cancel the most recently created Web Worker.
In that case, you can't do multi threading, so you'd have to come up with an alternative plan in that case. On the other hand if we do support Web Workers, then this is how you can create a Web Worker and get it to do some work. You create a new worker object, and you specify the name of the JavaScript file that contains the code you want to run in the background thread. So in this case, it's just a simple JavaScript file name. But in reality, it could be a domain name, an HTTP colon backslash, whatever.
Okay? So it doesn't necessarily need to be all in the same folder. So that's my Web Work object. Web Workers have two events that will occur during their lifetime. There's a message event, which will post back data from the background thread when it's finished, like with the result. And there's an error event if anything goes wrong. So typically what you do, once you've created your worker, the next step is to handle those two events. I'm handling the message event, the handle the result data from the BackgroundWorker.
And that'll be passed into a function called On Message, and we'll see that in a moment. And the error event, will be handled by my on-error function here. So, there's my worker object, and I've handled events on it. I push that worker into my array, so that I can cancel them later on, if I want to. And then I post some data into the worker. I actually get the worker to do some work, and this is how you do it. You take your worker object, and you call the post message function.
And the post message function takes a single parameter, which can be any data you want it to be. So in this case, the data is a simple string, and it will say something like hi from worker zero, or hi from worker one. Everytime I click the Start button, it will increment the counter, so we get a different message for each worker. And you might recall that's what we saw, hi from worker one and hi from worker two. Okay. So that's the data that I'm going to be sending into the background thread. And we're going to see what that does with it in a moment. I also display a status message here on the page, just to illustrate that I've sent the data, and the date that I've sent it. Okay.
So, that's what happens when I click that button. When I click the Cancel button, this is the function that gets called: cancel worker. So we get the most recently created worker from the array. And assuming that the array wasn't empty, this is how you can cancel a BackgroundWorker. You call the terminate function on the worker object, and that will completely terminate the background thread immediatley. Okay, so let's assume we haven't cancelled the BackgroundWorker.
The BackgroundWorker, when it's finished will post us back some data and that is handled in my on message function here. So if you remember, I'll just go up a few lines just to remind you what happened. When I click on my work object here, on line 29, I said when that workup posts me data back again, I want to handle the message event. And that's what this function here is. This function we see is an event augment here. This contains data sent back to you from the background thread.
If you like, it's the result from the background thread. And this is how you access the data. You take the event object, and you say .data, okay? So that would be the response that came back from the background thread. So in the example, it was the uppercase version of the string that was passed in. And that's displayed in the text area on the screen. Okay, one other thing to think about in the main page, errors can happen. So for example, when you try to load the JavaScript file, may be it can't be located or may be there is a syntax error or some other kind of problem in the JavaScript file.
So you really must handle the error event, and this is not but shows how to do it. The own error handler has an event argument, it has three bits of information that's useful. It'll tell you the file name, of course, the error, so that could be http colon and the name of your JavaScript file. It'll tell you the line number with the error code, and the message describing what's the problem. Syntax error for example. Okay. So that's the main page. Let me just recap a few things before we look at how the BackgroundWorker actually does the work.
And this prompter here is the data you post in from the main page. So, if I just take you back, to the main page. When I said, post message, the data here would have been something like, hi, from worker zero. Okay, so this prompter here, will have a data string such as, hi from data zero. Okay, so let's take a look what this mesage handler is doing. This will be called, when the user clicks the Start button, it sleeps four or five seconds.
I have a function up here which is deliberately inefficient, and it sleeps for five seconds. After those five seconds have elapsed, then this is how you can return results back to the main page. You call post message again, and you specify the data that you want to be turned back. This is the result of the backround thread. So, that's the end of this example. I'll just summarized the key points. JavaScript and HTML 5, we have a worker object. When you create a worker object, you give it the name of the JavaScript file that you'd like to run. You handle the message event, and the error event, and then you post message to actually get the BackgroundWorker to do something.
In the BackgroundWorker, it handles that message event. And in the message handler, if it wants to, it can post a message back to the main page when it's finished. And whatever data gets sent in here, e.data.Q here. That data is then picked up in the message handler back in the main page. Okay, so we have this message handler here which picks up that data. There.

very interesting widget.
One of your screenshots shows the options the widget offers, one of them being "Post types", and the selections offered are Posts, Pages and Media. Since to my humble knowledge (I am quite new to WP) there is no option to tag pages, only posts, I would like to know whether your widget includes an option to tag pages.
Thank you very much for your kin answer - even if it would tell me that there is an option to tag pages in the standard wp.
BTW: i have a WP 3.4.1 MU installation - any know problems with that?
Thank You!

A Danish hospital is testing IBM-developed technology that provides medical staff with a 3-D model of a human body for getting a quick, up-to-date overview of a patient's electronic medical record.
The technology, developed by IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory and tested at Thy-Mors Hospital, lets doctors use a computer to rotate the 3-D representation of the human anatomy and zoom in and out to view needed detail, IBM said Tuesday. The 3-D tool also lets medical staff choose between different views, enabling, for example, a close inspection of organs or the circulatory, muscular, and nervous systems.
Arrows are used to indicate the areas of the body for which medical data is available. Clicking on one of the arrows with a computer mouse provides the pertinent information.
Along with the 3-D models, the IBM software includes a semantic search function. Searching for "heart trouble," for example, will place the words in context to produce results that include terms such as "right ventricle," "radiating pain in left arm," and "ECG" for electrocardiogram. The results are shown graphically on the 3-D model.
Speed in examining patient records is important given the size of Thy-Mors, which has nearly 11,000 in-patient beds and more than 65,000 outpatient visits per year. For example, Dr. Hardy Christoffersen, head of the hospital's surgical outpatient clinic, typically has 15 minutes for a patient interview, examination, and diagnosis, including decisions about the kind of additional treatment that may be required, IBM said. To ensure proper treatment, Christoffersen must also take under consideration the patient's previous ailments and current health status.
"The IBM tool gives me a fantastic, graphic view of the patient's status," Christoffersen said in a statement. "I can see much more information than just what the patient tells me is bothering him or her that day -- information for which I would otherwise have to spend considerable time searching through our current records system."
Kurt Nielsen, director of Thy-Mors, said the IBM test is part of the hospital's overall goal of becoming a more efficient "paperless hospital."
IBM and business partner Nhumi Technologies plan to collaborate on commercialization of the technology.
In the United States, the Obama administration's economic stimulus package, recently passed by Congress, includes about $21 billion for health IT programs. The additional money could help meet a goal set by President Bush five years ago: e-health records for most Americans by 2014.
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center CIO Dan Drawbaugh is also writing the prescription for health care transformation. InformationWeek has published an independent analysis of this CIO of the Year. Download the report here (registration required).

each class is only 3 quarters which does not give a person enough time to learn. Not to mention, we had all these holidays that interfered with not having enough training time. Some of the teachers were not helpful and expected you to know your work. In some classes they would not fully explain the work we were to do which made it impossible to get a good grade. I had no job and was legally separated from my spouse.
When I found out by several of my classmates that they did not have to pay student loans or any loan at all, I was very upset. When I graduated from Heald in 2006, They sent me to Manpower, a temp agency. I was assigned temporary positions which barely paid my bills. I would make the effort to call Manpower every time my assignment was over, because someone else could beat me to another assignment.
When I went back to Heald to tell my counselor I was not getting hired permanently and that I wanted a permanent job and if they could find me something better, my counselor told me; "I should be glad I am even working." I was so up set that I cried, because now I was stuck with thousands of dollars to a loan that I am not able to pay. And now, I have been unemployed since 2010. Heald says; "Get in, Get out and Get ahead." I say; "Get in, Get out and Get in debt."

Editorial: Petty squabbles don't bode well for Coalition
Published 14/07/2014 | 02:30
Tanaiste Joan Burton's complaining about Taoiseach Enda Kenny announcing the rollout of over-70s GP cards hardly augurs well for the success of the revamped Coalition. The Labour Party leader seems to want a pat on the back from the electorate when it comes to announcing items that the Government views as 'good news'. She's sadly mistaken and out of touch with the public mood.
Ms Burton feels Mr Kenny overstepped the mark by confirming the government policy of rolling out the GP-only cards to the over-70s, once the under-sixes are dealt with.
The Taoiseach told the Dail last Wednesday the Government was considering a number of options in respect of the rollout of primary care services for the under-sixes and other different categories, including the over-70s.
"The Government has made the decision that all persons over 70 will be entitled to access to GP services," he said.
Mr Kenny was responding to Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin, who validly pointed out it "beggars belief" for the Government to promise the introduction of universal health cover, while also withdrawing medical cards from elderly people.
Ms Burton wanted Labour to get the credit for the decision – not Fine Gael.
Perhaps the Tanaiste would prefer if the Taoiseach ignored a question from the leader of the opposition, but Mr Kenny does actually have an obligation to account to the national parliament – particularly on matters of such importance.
His mandate is to the people and not the junior coalition party.
The handling of the provision of medical cards has been one of the most calamitous and dysfunctional areas of government policy. The voters gave their verdict on this debacle in the local and European elections drubbing for the Coalition.
Labour wasn't exactly beating the door down to take over the policy on medical cards. In the build-up to the cabinet reshuffle, there was no speculation at all about Labour going looking for the Department of Health. Rather than petty squabbles over who gets the kudos for announcements, the revamped Cabinet would be better off focusing on the actual delivery of results.
Then the public will give you a pat on the back, Tanaiste.
Wind energy report has some worthy suggestions
In the wake of the pylons saga and ongoing objections to windfarms in rural areas, any acknowledgement of the importance of community engagement is positive. The level of public distrust generated by the handling of the pylons planning process implies confidence-building measures are extremely necessary. The 'Wind Energy in Ireland: Building Community Engagement and Social Support' report makes some innovative suggestions in this regard.
The report from the National Economic and Social Council proposes local communities be offered the chance to take a stake in wind farms to help break the impasse between developers and local residents over controversial projects.
Needless to say, this proposal will undoubtedly result in accusations from cynics of attempts to buy off objections, but it still deserves to be given a fair hearing.
The report also says developers should be obliged to consult with communities before seeking planning permission, and agreements registered with the regulator to ensure they are complied with. Without alternative sources of power, electricity bills will continue to rise as the country spends more than €6bn a year importing oil and gas, with the ancillary contribution to climate change.
A stand-off between developments and locals will only cause further delays in this transition. A resolution won't be found in all cases, especially where communities fear they are being imposed upon, but it's good to talk, at the very least.

an excellent doctor who really takes time with his patients and listens.
I really liked Dr. Vaikutis the few times I have been to him. Was previously with a family practice for over 15 years. However, something is fishy about the office. Today I called in at 730am to schedule a sick visit for my 9 year old. They booked me for 1145. Then at 9:30 the office calls to tell me the call center did not have the information that Dr. Vaikutis was ill and had to go home and they could see us Tuesday. I say this is fishy because it's not the first time they cancelled on me for this exact reason. My sister was also cancelled for Dr being "sick" and needing to go home. So is Dr. very sickly or is this a case of overbooking and the office lieing to save face? Time to find a new Dr. I think.
I have many primary care docters,he is the best one I have ever had he is patian t and spends alot of time talking to you and he always get its right.Always right on with dianosing problems I have been lucky to have found him he is a diamond in the rough
Dr. Vaikkutis is the type of Doctor that are hard to find anymore. He is caring and actually listens to every need of his patients. He is the only Doctor I have ever trusted for my family and me. His staff will do anything to help.
Dr. Vaikutis is a very caring and knowlegeable doctor. He takes the time to listen to his patients and treats them as important partners in his work.

Skip to comments.U.S.: DISMAY AT ARREST OF ETHNIC SERBS
Posted on 12/18/2006 10:58:24 AM PST by kronos77
click here to read article
From Red6
"Do you know who else had ambitions to create "Lebensraum" for his people? Serbia planned and deliberately wanted to push people from their homeland to expand their national territory."
Oh the irony. Your hero, izetbegovic, threw his lot in with the SS in WW2. His recruits appalled the German officer corps of the Handzar SS division.
Keep on with the posting though, I could do with a laugh.
Care to explain why Abdic, the most popular muslim politician in Bosnia was allied with the Bosnian Serbs in Bihac?
Runs against your argument somewhat.
The desertions amongst the Bihac population to Abdic ( and hence the Bosnian Serbs ) were so great that your heroic Islamist Govt in Sarajevo were forced to directly fly in Mujahideen into the enclave to bolster Gov't lines.
Trust you to side with the Islamists against the Secular muslims.
But, do keep on posting, you're a hoot.
Still defending Dr Balls, Hoplite? Oh, that's funny. Please explain why is testimony was soooooo good.
From Red6
"You're no different than the German today complaining that they were bombed in WWII"
Why this belitting of the crimes of the NAZIs in WW2?
The entire total of deaths in the Bosnian civil war was 100,000. From all sides, both civilian and military. This was a 4 way civil war.
Muslim against Croat
Croat against Serb
Serb against Muslim
Secular Muslim ( Abdic ) against Islamist( Izebegovic )
Yet you compare the crimes of the Bosnian Serbs with the NAZIs?
I wonder.
Is this belittling the crimes of the NAZIs by accident or design. I say this because your hero, Izetbegovic, was a WW2 war criminal, his "Muslim Youth" ( Young Muslim )movement was based on the Fascistic Muslim Brotherhood and provided the canon fodder for the Handzar Division. Many of his lifelong political colleagues actually donned the SS uniform AND he named his Praetorian Guard , "Handzar", in honour of same said SS Division.
Is that why you whitewash the crimes of the NAZIs?
" Kind of like the Holocaust denier, but as we know, you guys dont like any correlation to the Nazis or WWII."
Oh, the irony AGAIN. It's YOUR hero, Izetbegovic who denied the Holocaust.
He was kind of unusual in that he had VERY close links with the Saudi Arabian Wahhabis ( Holocaust deniers ) AND the Iranian Gov't ( Holocaust deniers too ) .
Your boy.
The Bosnian Serbs biggest ally ( along with Greece ) was the Israelis. So the IDF are Holocaust deniers too?
From getoffmylawn to Red6
"It would probably be best for yourself, and everyone else, if you just stayed away from the BALKANS threads"
That's uncalled for. We all need to laugh at SOMEONE.
That was what I meant...the war was misrepresented one way only, that being that the poor Muslims were the innocent, they were slaughtered by the "evil" Serbs. You were right, times like these makes us wish for people like Vlad Tepes, the true historical version, not the Hollywood concept. While they portray him as a murderer, a cruel and bloody man, the truth is that he was beloved by his people and his involvement in successful crusades against the Ottomans made him so popular with most of his neighbors, church bells would toll from Rhodes to Genoa upon hearing about his successful campaigns against the Ottomans. He was a huge threat to the sultan responsible for the destruction of Constantinople, the true spot of Christian development, a destruction which brought on another misrepresented concept of dark times in Europe which was nothing more than lack of findings of documents, books, art which were actually destroyed by the Muslims during their invasion of Constantinople. But I digress and this brings to mind a comment made by Christopher Walken after the 9/11 attacks and his unsatisfaction with our soft military action against the terrorists, comment in which he said that if this was Russia which suffered this type of attack, the second day Middle East would have been transformed into a parking lot. And I agree with him!
You need to catch up.....this is 100% correct, no discussion. In other words, once the pieces fall together the picture is clear. You either have not accomplished this or you are clearly one of the college Jr.s or Seniors that are going after your Political Science degree and are paid to take on the "forum" crowd. You are clearly out of your league or class and way behind the power curve for this subject. Reference the following........for only one example....
Clark placed career ahead of nation in Kosovo
Tucson Citizen
The Dan Christman and Chuck Larson guest column published on Jan. 8 - "Gen. Clark's stand vs. Milosevic praiseworthy" - was remarkable as much for what it didn't say as for the distortions in what it did say.
In praising Clark's testimony against former Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic before the International Tribunal at The Hague, the authors failed to mention that Milosevic was not permitted to question Clark on what the general had written in his book, "Waging Modern War."
Also, the U.S. government demanded and received the right to edit videotapes and transcripts of the sessions before they were made public. Following his secret testimony at The Hague, Clark, in answer to an inquiry about what should happen to Saddam Hussein, hypocritically stated that it was important that Hussein's trial not be behind closed doors, so that the whole world could see justice done.
While the article had high praise in general terms for Clark's leadership of NATO forces in the Balkans, a critical look at his performance tells a different story.
In "Waging Modern War" Clark writes about his fury upon learning that Russian peacekeepers had entered the airport at Pristina, Kosovo, before British or American forces.
In an Aug. 3, 1999, article, "The guy who almost started World War III," The Guardian (UK) wrote: "No sooner are we told by Britain's top generals that the Russians played a crucial role in ending the West's war against Yugoslavia than we learn that if NATO's supreme commander, the American Gen. Wesley Clark, had had his way, British paratroopers would have stormed Pristina airport, threatening to unleash the most frightening crisis with Moscow since the end of the Cold War. 'I'm not going to start the third world war for you', Gen. Mike Jackson, commander of the international K-For peacekeeping force, is reported to have told Gen. Clark when he refused to accept an order to send assault troops to prevent Russian troops from taking over the airfield of Kosovo's provincial capital."
Gen. Clark's buddy in Kosovo was Hashim Thaci, the leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army which, according to the July 30, 2002, Belfast News Letter (N. Ireland), is engaged in sex slavery, prostitution, murder, kidnapping and drugs.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Feb. 19, 2002, that "European drug squad officers say Albanian and Kosovo Albanian dealers are ruthlessly trying to seize control of the European heroin market ..." This is the same Hashim "The Snake" Thaci with whom Clark was photographed in a triumphal handshake after NATO forces occupied Kosovo.
As for his ability as a military leader, Gen. Clark failed on two counts: the Kosovo air campaign and his plan for a ground campaign. While the questionable effectiveness of the air campaign is not solely his responsibility, his coverup of the results ("Kosovo Cover Up," Newsweek, May 15, 2000) are testimony to his dedication to power and career.
As for a ground war, which Gen. Clark admits that he favored, he insists that he could have conducted a successful ground war in Kosovo by sending supporting Apache helicopters through the mountain passes between Albania and Kosovo, a plan which was described to me by an Apache pilot as "hare-brained" and "suicidal."
There is no doubt that a ground war with the might of 19 NATO nations behind it eventually would have succeeded, but at what cost and why? To feed Gen. Clark's ego and ambition.
Before accepting the judgment of Adm. Larson and Lt. Gen. Christman, one should also consider the comments of two retired four-star generals, Gen.Tommy Franks, who led the campaign to capture Baghdad, and Gen. Hugh Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
An article in the Jan. 12 New Yorker quoted statements they made shortly after Clark announced his candidacy. When asked if Clark would make a good president, Franks' short reply was, "Absolutely not." When asked the same question, Shelton replied that "... the reason he came out of [his NATO command in] Europe had to do with integrity and character issues ... Wes won't get my vote."
Such comments by retired four-star generals about another four-star are almost unprecedented. They should not be taken lightly.
If Gen. Clark had had his way in Kosovo, we might have gone to war with Russia, or at least resurrected vestiges of the Cold War, and we certainly would have had hundreds if not thousands of casualties in an ill-conceived ground war.
Clark's obsession with career and power is what we saw too often in senior leaders during the Vietnam War and hoped never to see again in those with positions of responsibility for the lives of our GIs and the security of our nation.
Col. George Jatras, USAF (Ret.), of Camp Hill, Pa., flew 230 F-4 combat missions in Vietnam, served for seven years with various NATO designated units, was the senior Air Force attaché to the Soviet Union ('79-'81) and the senior Air Force advisor to the Naval War College, where he also served as an instructor in the Strategy Department.
Good post.

you are the one that started the personal attacks and disinformation distribution. I'm not writing this to you, as there is a 100% chance that you won't read these and certainly won't make any intelligent remarks pro but, mostly negative as you are in a state of denial or paid to be a ....well, you know, the big "Pro"....:) but, it's just these few articles and comments that still keep me sort of "hung up" you might say. :)) I write these not for you, but, fortunately you keep responding in order to allow the rest of us to sound off with the truth. So, keep up the good work, this is good exercise and publicity. lolol...
Go ahead for Balkan oil pipeline
Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia have given the go ahead for the construction of a $1.2bn oil pipeline that will pass through the Balkan peninsula.
The project aims to allow alternative ports for the shipping of Russian and Caspian oil, that normally goes through the Bosphorus straits.
It aims to transport 750,000 daily barrels of oil.
The pipeline will be built by the US-registered Albanian Macedonian Bulgarian Oil Corporation (AMBO).
The pipeline will run for nearly 900 kilometres from the Bulgarian port of Burgas, over the Black Sea to the Albanian city of Vlore on the Adriatic coast, crossing Macedonia.
Delayed project
The project was first conceived in 1994 but has suffered delays due to uncertainties about whether there was sufficient demand.
By signing the agreement on Tuesday, the prime ministers of Bulgaria, Albania and Macedonia have overcome the problem.
"This is one of the most important infrastructure projects for regional, EU, and Euro-Atlantic integration for the western Balkans," said Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano.
According to AMBO president Edward Ferguson, work on the pipeline will begin in 2005 and it is expected to be ready in three or four years.
He added that the company had already raised about $900m from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) - a US development agency - the Eximbank and Credit Suisse First Boston, among others.
The project has also the support of the European Union.
Analysts have said that oil companies like ChevronTexaco, Exxon Mobil and British Petroleum would be happy to find alternative routes to the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits.

do I have to comment.....give me some time to catch my breath...I have to apologize for laughing so hard at such a sad comment, but, the irony of it all just got the best of me. The comparison or the comment, one just cannot comment on, due to the ignorance is.....just sad.
I have to say, in such a short paragraph you covered the entire subject manner way off the chart....thank you.
"Karpinski like some others in this forum is trying to clear her name be rewriting history. She failed and was fired. She was not malicious, just incompetent."
Sounds like a similar incident in regards to someone failing and fired for incompetancy....does Clark come to mind.....????
Your point about the Russians is proven by the Moscow theater incident, wherein the the Russian operatives simply put a bullet into the head of the unconscious female suicide bombers. After I saw the video of one of the American's beheadings, I recalled some history about Vlad. (I wish I knew as much as you do.) I concluded that his executions were an act of military strategy, not homocidal mania. I believe Vlad was vastly outnumbered by the Ottomans, and the only way to keep them at bay was to for him to show he could top their brutality.
:)) the Serb military made fools of Clarks follies....you should read about how they fooled them.
Serb discusses 1999 downing of stealth (story of non-Serb)
Well, this guy is not Serb, but Hungarian
Today guy is baker...
The facts of the death & destruction of Serb ethnic cleansing in support of their irredentist goals are well established. It is both factually incorrect and an insult to the United States of America for the Serbs to try and associate what they did in the 90s--in terms of either goals or methods--with what the United States is doing in our current war on terror.
From one military veteran to two others: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It's too bad that the three in question....have supplied virtually red herrings, and un-substantiated assertions that are supported by what has been proven to be a well contrived effort to deceive the true American patriots, and not the card board types that obtained their rank on toliet paper. The true Patriots do not adhere to the MSM reports as proven by Peter Brocks, book, "Media Cleasing, Dirty Reporting"....The true American patriot was Major General Smedely Butler, who kept this nation from becoming a facist government.........
from another patriot apparently....
These three shrills, shills, or twrills are a menace and are either paid or very much mislead as to the truth. The true patriots WILL NOT allow this to continue without reporting the truth for every lie they tell to promote the travesty against our constitution. they are traitors and should never have donned the uniform.
Same was in Montenegro. On Cetinje, old capitol of Montenegro children were playing with cut Turkish heads. Turks Ottomans were shocked and disgussed by that fact and were pretty much intemmidated by Montenegrin (Serb) actions against them.
Also on a seal of my home city, given to us by Austrian Emperor in 19th century abowe city panorama is arm holding sabre with Turkish head in turban stuck on the tip of the sabre...
you see, it's not my country nor the government. There are however, signficant players and those that hold a high position that are controlled by the international bankers, the rest are in line for many different reasons. Most of them are actually misinformed by generations of propaganda. General Butler sums it up and he is just about as credible as one can get......the culprits span two continents that are linked together through the CFR and RIIA.
I see Red6 has just received the coup de grace, Free Republic style: praise from Mark.
As damning an indictment as it's possible to imagine.
Red6 , I suggest you sue.
And that first photo of the set is more than a little poignant. Isn't it of an ethnic ALBANIAN couple of kids, who were RETURNING to their village when it was hit by NATO planes on the Djakovica to Prizren road in April, 99 .
They were almost certainly zeroing in on co-ordinates given by KLA target spotters. It was a death sentence to return home: to work with the Serb authorities: ruins the myth of the Serbs forcing the ethnic Albs out.
So they, and many others on that convoy were slaughtered.
As I said, it's poignant, though no doubt poignancy will be lost on the Red6s of this world.
Some more snaps.
Red6, you're losing it.
You forgot to compare the Serbs with the Nazis. And where's the talk of Auschwitz , etc. gone ? Surely de rigueur for any Serbophobe on the internet.
Stay on the ball.
No, Mark, what is "an insult to the United States" is that an illegal alien named Florin Krasniqi-- a Kosovo Albanian-- can steal into the US from Mexico in the trunk of a car, get his citizenship and then be seen 10 years later USING US laws to smuggle weapons to KLA terrorists, and paying off high level US politicians to buy US foreign policy! (What's the Krasniqi quote from the Brooklyn Connection? "America is a great place! You give politicians money -- and they pay you back!") That is a slap in the face to America and real Americans!
And if all those here who disagree with you are "Serb Nationalists", then why would the Chief Rabbi of Kosovo, who was driven out of Kosovo by the Albanians, agree with them? He says that Albanians from Albania came in and threw him and the other non-Albanians out, driving them from their homes and the UN would not help him!
Get it straight, Red, the former Yugoslav Muslims (in Bosnia & Kosovo) are not "the Jews" in some modern day Holcaust story -- the Albanian Muslims drove out the actual Jews to make room for more Albanians!
And what is in it for the US to have ever gotten ourselves involved in this Balkan fiasco? Nothing! It has made us more enemies than friends, because besides intervention being a mistake period, we topped it off by intervening on the wrong side!
9-11 and the GWOT came at an opportune time.
Ever since then the Serb agenda has been pushing to make the conflict into the Balkans something that it never was. They want to rewrite history.
Serbia was the antagonist. They had the means and motive to wage a war. They were told to stop because they were destabilizing the entire region and creating chaos. They were warned and threatened. Eventually they were bombed into submission with an air campaign. Now you can attempt to spin this reality anyway you want, but those are the facts.
You forgot to compare the Serbs with the Nazis
While you attempt to mock this, 48 people are convicted of crimes that were the same sort of things Nazi war criminals were sentenced for. Your defense is always the same as well, deny deny deny.
Example: http://www.un.org/icty/glance/milosevic.htm
You can create all the free Slobodan websites you want. The legal proceedings will continue and he will go down in flames, like 48 others so far. Because the evidence is there, and unlike here, where all you do is suck up bandwidth by repetitive screaming of irrelevant or bogus arguments, the facts speak for themselves.
What makes the Nazi regime what it was? They acted in a "deliberate" and "premeditated" fashion. The orders to commit these atrocities came from the top (leadership directed) and it was "systemic" of the regime in power at the time.
A bad Example: The anti war pundit in Iraq tried their hardest to connect Rumsfeld and even Bush to Abu Gharib. While complete nonsense, this attempt was to construct exactly the argument I'm making which in this case has been "Proven" correct. The leadership in Serbia directed much of what happened. The actions were systemic and widespread, it was premeditated and deliberate. Yes, it is very much so a rational argument to compare Nazi Germany with the actions of Serbia in the Balkans in the late 90s. Its the same type of scenario where a state engages in activity that is in flagrant violation of international law.
The comparison to Nazis truly is over used in the media and common language. Everyone wants to compare those they dont like to a Nazi. However, in case of Serbia in the late 90s, you have a state that fulfills all the tenants of what in essence made the Nazi regime what it was. The atrocities committed were not the actions of an individual taking it upon himself to do wrong. It was a deliberate state sanctioned premeditated and systematic behavior which Serbia engaged in reference the crimes committed, and this is very much like what the Nazis did, like it or not.
On a personal level, I have no love for the Muslim religion. I saw and lived with Arabs on numerous times and have no affinity for their culture. I agree that Islam is the root out of which most the worlds terrorism is borne. I think many who practice this religion sympathize with the Jihadist, even if they dont personally blow something up. I dont find very much admirable about this part of the world. Its a hot ugly, backward place with nasty women. Fluent in several languages myself, I find even the sound of Farsi/Arabic to be repugnant. French is eloquent, Farsi is guttural and from the throat. But what happened in the Balkans late 90s was simply wrong. The ones who are practicing revisionism are the ones who today, in a world of heightened Islamic threat want to just exploit this argument as another bullet on their laundry list of fake reasons for why the leadership in Serbia acted the way it did. Truth is, this war in the late 90s was a classical case of where a state wanted to expand its influence and power, increase its area and seize the land/property of others. In complete disregard of human life and suffering, this state went on a quest to seize as much territory as possible just like Germany did in its expansion. The Serbs had the tanks, the fighters, surface to air missiles, officers, and artillery. The Serbs were calling the shots. Just like WWII was Germanys war, the Balkan crisis was a product of Serbia. Just like many innocent Germans died in the crushing of this regime, in Serbia many innocent people died when an end was put on the state sponsored actions of that regime. Had NATO not bombed, Serbia no doubt would have just continued their conquest, and this had nothing to do with the protection of Serbs. Just like Germany actually claimed that Poland had attacked them, the Serbs today want to pretend that they were the victims. Today with the advent of the GWOT the new spin is that Serbia was fighting Islamic terrorists, gee, what heros. Its nice when the terrorists all congregate together and you can burry them in a mass grave isnt it? Your pick: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=mass+grave+bosnia&btnG=Search
I sure hope the good people of my country (America) realize what we are dealing with like you have. Some people here were horrified by Mel Gibson's movie "The Patriot" when he had to have his children help shoot the attacking Redcoats.
Who're the Redcoats, again?
And a Happy Festivus to you too!
= )
Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.
Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?
Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born a Festivus for the rest of us!
Cosmo Kramer: That must've been some kind of doll.
Frank Costanza: She was.
Many Serbian victims, camp survivors testify and give their full name in the court proceedings.
And Agim Ceku, who killed more Serbs than anyone, you attempt to seat as the Prime Minister of the stolen state of Kosovo.
Hell of a glass house you got there, Dhimmi.
marky mark, I see you think you can change propaganda into facts if you shout it loudly enough.
You are an excellent Dhimmi.
Your posts show that to be yet another falsehood.
What planet are you living on? Don't know how to break this to you Red -- but Milosevic is DEAD! He died last March! trial over. And you don't even know this fact, but you think that you understand Balkan politics? You are "in kindergarten" with regarding the Balkans and you are acting as though you have a "doctorate", lecturing us with rehashed Clintonite propaganda. It's ridiculous.
I am no Slobo fan. I think that Milosevic belonged in prison --a Serbian prison -- for what he did do, not what he didn't do. But the ICTY is a farce; it is "victor's justice" -- a political hoax. And because the ICTY had nothing on Milosevic and prosecuted him for what he didn't do, they made the SOB a martyr -- and that was the worst of all possible scenarios.
And there was no "opportune time for 9/11". The Balkans is and always has been "a political barometer" of Europe. It is where 3 of the world's major religions meet, and politically where East meets West. You can always bet that if there is "trouble in the Balkans", there is trouble in Europe (and the world), period. And that "trouble" is rarely ever of the making of those who live there -- it has always been a sign that either Germany or the Moslem world are in expansion mode. This time, it was both.
If it's any satisfaction to the Serbs, we are paying for it to this day.
Sorry about all that.
I know he's dead, I know about the conspiracy theories people like you concocted about how he was murdered. Do you read what I write?
---The point your side makes is that all comparisons between Nazi Germany and Serbia are wrong.
*** He was on trail. Look at what he was on trail for in the link I provided. What did he lead?
*** Now pick a Nazi war criminal. Look at what he was on trail for.
As to the free Slobodan web sites:
You know what the problem is with people that defend these acts? Their world view is not much unlike that of some Tutsi or Hutu. The views they express is what one expects from some ignorant gunman in a third world banana republic. A place where heathens and savages, people who are uneducated and uncultured, rule. Its nearly unimaginable that these people call themselves European.
If it hadn't been for Clinton bombing Serb civilians, Slobodan was heading for the Ceaucescu treatment from his own people.
But folks just like you knew better and now the Moslems have two new terror bases in Europe.
Nice shootin', Tex!
Just for summary, so that Im set right the next time I talk to someone about this issue.
1. The NATO intervention was about oil. (That was a good one. lol)
2. Serbia wanted to stop hostile actions but couldnt because they were stopping AQ operatives. In the cross roads of the Balkans its the Serbs that held back AQ all these years!
3. NATO targeted civilians but Serbia is a multiethnic society that wanted to increase their diversity by protecting Muslims in Bosnia. That's why the YPA declared the Eastern and Central parts of Bosnia "Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina". The militias, and paramilitaries that swept through these areas were "gentlemen".
4. The kangaroo court in The Hague went on a witch hunt and the real crimes were committed by the Muslims, to include attacks on themselves. (Can you remember the rumors spread about how the Muslims shelled themselves at the market?)
5. The trails at the Hague prove that there was no systemic, deliberate, and premeditated genocide!
6. Most refugees that fled the Balkans were actually Serbs!
7. The Serbs were the ones trying to get to a peaceful resolution as fast as possible but it was NATO and that evil Clark that prevented this.
8. Milosevic was murdered, and all the UN, EU, NATO troops, international media, international tribunal investigations are *conspiring* about what they saw. There were no camps, there were no mass graves.
Now, I understand that when I tell people this I have to say that If you dont believe this youre crazy. If people doubt anything, just deny it, make counter accusations, and call them names.
I feel enlightened now.
["Now pick a Nazi war criminal. Look at what he was on trail for."]
Okay, I'll pick one. How about Heinrich Himmler?
Now, tell me what trail he was on and then pick his analagous counterpart in Serbia that was on the same trail as that monster?....How about Pol Pot?...oops how silly of me - wrong country that was Cambodia.
four counts of crimes against humanity (Article 5 deportation; murder; persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds; other inhumane acts)
Alfred Rosenberg
crimes against humanity set forth in Count 4 of the Indictment, including a wide variety of crimes against persons and property.
Hans Frank
crimes against humanity perpetrated during his administration of the occupied territories.
Wilhelm Frick
count 3 of the indictment and of crimes against humanity as set fort in count 4.
Walter Funk
war crimes according to count 3 and in crimes against humanity under count 4.
Wilhelm Keitel
indictment N° 3, as well as in crimes against humanity according to the act of indictment N° 4, in particular with respect to the cruel treatment inflicted on prisoners of war and civilians in the occupied territories.
Ernst Kaltenbrunner
crimes against humanity, set forth in Count 4 of the Indictment, in particular with respect to the atrocities committed in the concentration camps.
http://www.trial-ch.org/en/trial-watch/profile/db/facts/ernst_kaltenbrunner_103.html You can look at the rest.
If you look at the themes, go beyond the shear semantics, you realize that those sentenced in the Hague, did the same sort of things Nazi war criminals did.

Big Daddy Roth
Roth is best known for his grotesque caricatures — typified by Rat Fink — depicting imaginative, out-sized monstrosities driving representations of the hot rods that he and his contemporaries built. Although Detroit native Stanley Mouse (Miller) is credited with creating the so-called "Monster Hot Rod" art form, Roth is certainly the individual who popularized it. Roth is less well known for his innovative work in turning hot rodding from crude backyard engineering, where performance was the bottom line, into a refined art form where aesthetics were equally important, breaking new ground with fiberglass bodywork.
In the 1960s, plastic models of many of Roth's cars, as well as models of Rat Fink and other whimsical creatures created by Roth, were marketed by the Revell model company.
Numerous artists were associated with Roth, including painter Robert Williams, Rat Fink Comix artist R.K. Sloane and Steve Fiorilla, who illustrated Roth's catalogs.
Roth was active in the field of counterculture art and hot-rodding his entire adult life. At the time of his death in 2001, he was working on an innovative hot-rod project involving a compact car planned as a radical departure from the dominant "tuner" performance modification style. In his later years, Roth's telephone number was listed in the directory, and he encouraged fans to contact him: he was always generous with his time and enthusiasm.
A Roth custom feared lost for many years was the subject of a number of articles in automotive enthusiast magazines in the summer of 2008. The Orbitron, built in 1964, was discovered in Mexico in late 2007. The car, in dilapidated, inoperative condition, had been parked for quite some time in front of an adult bookstore in Ciudad Juárez. The owners of the shop were also the owners of the car. It was purchased by Michael Lightbourn, an American auto restorer who did extensive business in Mexico and who in turn repatriated the car to the United States. The Orbitron has since been restored to its original condition by Beau Boeckmann[1][2]

Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:41:43 -0700
New York Yankees SP Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of the 2016 season. His 2017 season could also be in jeopardy.

|Yankees | Nathan Eovaldi wins second straight start
Sun, 24 Jul 2016 13:38:28 -0700
New York Yankees SP Nathan Eovaldi continued his resurgence since rejoining the rotation in a victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, July 24, allowing two hits and striking out six over 6 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Tip: Eovaldi posted a 0-4 record and 9.20 ERA over a six-start stretch from June 3 to July 1, leading to a swift demotion to the bullpen. The 26-year-old turned in three scoreless efforts as a reliever and defeated the Baltimore Orioles in his return to the rotation on July 19. It might be a good time to see if Eovaldi's owner bailed on him during his rough stretch; he's well worth a speculative add as a fairly high-end back-of-the-rotation fantasy starter when he is on his game like he is now.

|Yankees | Nathan Eovaldi posts eighth win
Tue, 19 Jul 2016 19:34:40 -0700
New York Yankees SP Nathan Eovaldi allowed one earned run, four hits and two walks with one strikeout over 5 1/3 innings in a win Tuesday, July 19, against the Baltimore Orioles. He threw 48 of his 82 pitches for strikes.
Fantasy Tip: Eovaldi returned to the rotation for the first time since July 1. He needs to show a little more consistency before he can be trusted outside of deeper AL-only fantasy leagues again. This was a start.

|Rangers | Texas looking at Yankee starters
Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:13:47 -0700
New York Yankees SPs Nathan Eovaldi, Ivan Nova and CC Sabathia are being scouted by the Texas Rangers because New York might be willing to part with one of their starters for a second-tier Texas prospect.
Fantasy Tip: Eovaldi and Sabathia have flashed signs of brilliance this season, but neither look the part of a reliable starter currently. And Nova has been an underwhelming pitcher all season. There is potential for a slight fantasy boost wearing a new uniform, and Texas is a contender, but it wouldn't catapult any one of the trio into the must-start category. Stay tuned for updates.

|Pirates | Pittsburgh looking at Nathan Eovaldi
Sat, 16 Jul 2016 07:12:04 -0700
New York Yankees SP Nathan Eovaldi has received some trade interest from the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to a source.
Fantasy Tip: Eovaldi currently has a 5.11 ERA but will be rejoining the Yankees starting rotation next week. The Pirates are expected to look for starting pitching at the trade deadline and could pursue Eovaldi if the price is right. He probably would not be a great mixed league option but would have value in NL-only leagues.

|Yankees | Nathan Eovaldi, Ivan Nova facing O's
Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:53:15 -0700
New York Yankees SPs Ivan Nova and Nathan Eovaldi will start against the Baltimore Orioles Monday, July 18, and Tuesday, July 19, respectively.
Fantasy Tip: Both Yankee hurlers have an ERA north of 5.00, and against one of the best offenses in baseball, Nova and Eovaldi are desperation fantasy options for their next outings. They remain viable arms in cavernous mixed and AL-only leagues, but you'll want to be extremely selective with their matchups in shallower formats.

|Yankees | Masahiro Tanaka roughed up by Tribe
Sun, 10 Jul 2016 13:57:36 -0700
New York Yankees SP Masahiro Tanaka couldn't get the final out he needed to pick up a win despite being staked to an 11-1 fifth-inning lead Sunday, July 10, against the Cleveland Indians. Tanaka was charged with seven runs (three earned) on 10 hits and two walks in 4 2/3 frames before yielding to Nathan Eovaldi, who allowed only one hit across 4 1/3 scoreless innings.
Fantasy Tip: Tananka didn't exactly cruise through his first four frames, but a throwing error by Didi Gregorius and a two-run homer from Tyler Naquin proved to be his undoing. The 2014 All-Star will still head into the break with a 6-2 record, 3.23 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 93 strikeouts in 117 innings of work, making him a solid second or third starting pitcher in most leagues.

The Heart of Good Food
by Sudha Hamilton
Published in Holistic Bliss Magazine Vol 18.
Great things are starting to happen within our communities to do with nutrition and food as medicine. We are starting to see in quite a few select schools, driven by proactive parents on the P & C committees, the establishment of permaculture veggie gardens and their linking to school canteen menus. Of course we watched Jamie Oliver on TV, start a desperately needed revolution in British school canteens, where the fare on offer, was in true British culinary style "the pits." Closer to home we have Stephanie Alexander's School Kitchen Garden Project and the Kitchen Garden Foundation, which has close to one hundred schools in Australia now participating. The aim of this program is to create pleasurable food education for young children, with the belief being, that through this holistic association we can positively influence our children's food choices in ways that have not been tried before.
"A Kitchen Garden is created to provide edible, aromatic and beautiful resources for a kitchen. The creation and care of a Kitchen Garden teaches children about the natural world, about its beauty and how to care for it, how best to use the resources we have, and an appreciation for how easy it is to bring joy and wellbeing into one's life through growing,harvesting, preparing and sharing fresh, seasonal produce." (quote from kitchengardenfoundation.org.au)
I am about to start at the Montville Primary School, here on the sunshine coast hinterland, as a supplier of healthy food services to their P & C run tuckshop. They have already established their own permaculture kitchen garden and I will be making use of this in my weekly menus for the school canteen. Although not directly involved with the Kitchen Garden Foundation, many of us who are involved have been inspired by it to create our own thing for our kids at the school.
It is important to realise, I think, that the free market, through its expressions in our marketplaces – fast food operations in shopping centres and on main roads; TV and Internet advertising; and even school programs in some instances – is constantly sending a message to our children encouraging them to consume its products and they are not overly concerned with the nutritional value of their fare. It is simply about making more money. So we cannot just sit back and let things run their course without endangering the health and future health of our kids. That is why programs such as the Kitchen Garden Foundation are so important.
Moving from schools to hospitals, finally something is about to be done about the appalling absence of nutritional standards in our hospital kitchens. It has always amazed me that food has not been considered part of the healing process in our hospitals – which is of course a direct result of their complete reliance on the pharmaceutically controlled medical establishment. Again as there was no money to be made from selling nutrition, then they did not particularly bother with it. The Garling Inquiry in NSW, recently found that elderly patients were literally starving in hospitals and suffering from malnutrition – due to the parlous state of hospital food and nurses claiming that they did not have the time to monitor whether the patient had or could consume the meal provided.
Hospitals will now be forced to show that they are actively preventing malnutrition from occurring or risk their accreditation. The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards will now include a nutritional standard in its Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program and it will apply to 1200 public and private hospitals around the country. So there is now less chance that you will die in one of our hospitals – gotta be good news! Perhaps Masterchef will run its next series out of Royal Brisbane Hospital or even Nambour Hospital.
Eating good food and taking the time to eat well is vitally important to maintaining our health. It is not just what you eat but also how you eat it, which makes a big difference to our well-being. Eat joyously in celebration of life and don't eat anxiously concerned about your health. Cook your own food as much as you can and if you cannot cook, learn how to – it can be fun and you will meet lots of great people in the process. Bon appétit!

So this is what happens when someone files complaints against Symmetry Direct?
AUTHOR: Anonymous - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, May 14, 2009POSTED: Thursday, May 14, 2009
Amie filed a complaint against a company called Symmetry Direct to a man named Tim Woodcox. He is the person who's "company she trashed." The local offices of Symmetry Direct called Amie regarding "full or part time work opportunities" and invited her to job interviews that were really a front for a marketing company called Symmetry Direct. She didn't want to be called anymore and requested from the local business owner that the phone calls stop. They continued and Amie filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and State Attorney General's office. Any false information that I see, is in this report against her. She in no way shape or form has made false claims. She has had pages and pages of information to back up her claims and several witnesses as well.
While she ran her credit repair service, she stuck to every form of the law. I know, because I worked with her. Not only did she keep very detailed information, but she required a contract of every person that she worked with, and kept very detailed records of every person she helped. She also never had any customers in the state of Michigan, so how Jonny S. could claim that she "made someone feel stupid" and "didn't help at all" is very inaccurate information. She never had ANY complaints sent to her company, and in fact is still getting referrals though the company has long been shut down for other reasons.
Tim Woodcox and Rudy Revak of Symmetry Direct has allowed this woman's information to be falsely released, and has allowed this false report to be made against her. If this is the type of company the they are, I would be very careful with whom I associate with.
Amie is one of the most honest person I know. Sometimes, she is brutally so, but we all love her anyway. For someone to write a false ripoffreport about her, and for this trash to be allowed to remain posted that is slander and libelous is shameful.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Top UVF members 'behind violence' in Belfast
Published 07/01/2013 | 11:21
SENIOR members of the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) are orchestrating loyalist street violence that has seen police come under attack in Belfast on four successive nights, Northern Ireland's Chief Constable has said.
While the violence has erupted at ongoing Union flag protests in the east of the city, Matt Baggott today called for an end to all such demonstrations across the region.
Loyalists pickets have been continuing since early December in response to a decision by Belfast City Council to limit the number of days the flag flies over City Hall.
So far 62 police officers have been injured and 96 people have been arrested.
"Senior members of the UVF in east Belfast as individuals have been increasingly orchestrating some of this violence - that is utterly unacceptable and is being done for their own selfish motives," said Mr Baggott.
The chief constable said he believed the UVF involvement was limited to east Belfast and there was no evidence of a collective endorsement of the organisation.
A number of politicial representatives have been subject to death threats during the unrest - the latest being the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) Assembly member Patsy McGlone.
A parcel containing a sympathy card referring to Mr McGlone and a bullet was intercepted at a postal sorting office.
Detectives from the Serious Crime branch have charged a 38-year-old man with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, riotous behaviour and failing to remove a disguise when requested by a constable.
He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court later this morning, PSNI said.
Mr Baggott said he did have the resources at present to deal with the rioting but warned that if disturbances continued, long-term policing objectives, such as the operation to tackle dissident republicanism, could be undermined.
The chief constable said he was concerned that so many young people were taking part in the trouble.
"I would like everybody involved in these protests now to take a step back," he said.
"My ambition is that the protests will come to an end, although you appreciate that the police are not in control of that.
"But if not, at the very least those involved in the protests should be off the road, not causing obstruction, absolutely condemning violence and ensuring that these young people are not involved.
"And that requires a concerted effort from politicians and those who have put themselves up as organisers acting together and from parents and responsible members of the community.
"At the moment there is a lack of control, which for me is very worrying."
Mr Baggott said he would be carrying out a review of the long-term resourcing needs of the police in response to the recent disturbances and disorder which flared on occasion last year.
He said he did not need any extra officers at present, but warned about future consequences if the situation continued.
"It will eat into our ability to deal with what remains a very severe dissident threat, as you will be aware their intent remains as strong as ever," he said.
Mr Baggott said it was important not to overplay the involvement of the loyalist paramilitaries in the trouble.
He said he would not discount reports that the UVF was using the violence as a means to recruit new members but said he had not seen any of evidence of that.
"I don't want to put this out of perspective and I don't want to overplay this - we are talking about east Belfast, we are talking about senior members of the UVF in east Belfast, not with the collective endorsement of the UVF per se, so don't overplay this," he said.
He said the policing operation had already cost millions of pounds.
Despite calls from the leaders of the main unionist parties for the protests to end, some elected political representatives have attended the demonstrations.
Mr Baggott urged politicians to follow the line taken by their leadership.
He also claimed that certain "political manoeuvring" had ramped up tensions in the months prior to the City Council decision.
And he called for a period of calm reflection and an end to the use of intemperate language.
With regard to some of the unelected organisers of the protests, Mr Baggott added: "What I particularly want to see is the people who have put themselves forward without mandate, without having to bother going through an electoral process, they need now to think about their language and their influence, and my encouragement to them would be join the political process, within a democracy, that's the only way decisions should be made."
Many of the protests have been organised through social media and Mr Baggott said investigating the use of the internet was complex.
"It is relatively new phenomenon, it something we are going to have to get used to collectively," he said.
"Social media isn't going to go away and, as a means of galvanising angry people, disaffected people and people with nothing better to do, it is something we are going to have to be increasingly concerned about."
Mr Baggott rejected claims of police brutality, insisting that officers had been "firm and assertive".
"I am not going to defend any use of excessive force but let me be clear on this: we have seen extreme violence with large numbers of people put at risk, including my police officers, my colleagues.
"And the words 'firm' and 'assertive' are entirely appropriate and in dealing with that sometimes we have to use force. Sadly sometimes people get injured because of that use of force, but it doesn't mean to say that that force is inappropriate."
The Chief Constable said officers were being criticised by some for using too much force and by others for not using enough. He said that indicated to him that the response was about right.
"I have never witnessed better policing in my 36 years of service," he said.
"I wonder how some of our European partners would have dealt with this in the last six weeks, let alone other police forces around the world."
