Lacking domestic consensus, UN support and NATO backing the President has turned to Congress to authorise a military strike against Syria that Mr Obama had been poised to approve.
"I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets," the president said in a statement at the White House on Saturday afternoon. "I'm also mindful that I'm president of the world's oldest constitutional democracy."
Hours later the White House sent a resolution to Congress for it to consider and vote on that would give him authority launch an attack on Syria, and Congressional leaders confirmed they would vote on the resolution no later than the week beginning September 9, when they return from summer recess.
With America hesitating after Britain's government was rebuked in parliament over its planned role in the attack, French President Francois Hollande has announced he too will have his parliament consider the pending action after the US Congress votes - suggesting that the momentum behind a US-led military strike is slowing.
Mr Obama's move is fraught with political risk as Congress remains fractured and log-jammed, and even some of its Republican members have a poisonous relationship not only with the White House but with their own party leadership.
The President called on Congress to look past political differences as it debated a punitive strike against the Assad regime in retribution for its use of chemical weapons in the ongoing Syrian civil war.
There are already signs that his plea has been ignored, with one Republican, Mike Turner, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee's subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land forces, said he would block funding for an attack until the president reverses the so-called "sequester" spending cuts, which both sides of politics have been blaming on each other since 2011.
The senior Republican hawks John McCain and Lindsey Graham said they could not support the attack because it did not go far enough.
Both men have long been calling on the US to intervene to remove Dr Assad from power.
While the constitution does confer the responsibility for declaring war on the Congress, it has become standard practice for the president as commander-in-chief of the armed forces to launch military action unilaterally, depending on Congress to then authorise funding once troops are in action.
As a senator Obama spoke out against this practice, and some time on Friday night he decided to seek Congressional approval for the strike. But in his statement he still made it clear he did believe he had the legal authority to launch the action without Congressional approval.
Only hours before, Secretary of State John Kerry had laid out a passionate argument in favour of attacking.
Officials have told reporters that on Friday night -the day after British prime minister David Cameron lost a vote to back the attack — the President walked in the grounds of the White House with his Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough, and decided to refer the matter to Congress.
Only hours before, Secretary of State John Kerry had laid out a passionate argument in favour of attacking.
Responses to Mr Obama's change of heart exposed divisions in foreign policy in Congress.
Senator Rand Paul, the prominent Republican with foreign policy views sometimes described as isolationist told Fox News he was "proud" of the President, and said he would vote against a strike.
The White House has still not yet made it clear if the President would launch the attack even if Congress votes against it.

On the Politics Show
There is a moment as the skipper of an aircraft when you are going down the runway and have built up such speed and momentum that stopping a take off is just not possible.
No matter what. Well, that is virtually where we are now in British politics on election timing.
Gordon Brown has told his cabin crew 'cabin doors to automatic and cross check'.
The labour party shuttle has taxied onto the runway and the air control tower has cleared him for take off.
If you are like me, that moment when the engines roar, your head is thrown back in the seat, and the plane really starts to accelerate down the runway, is when you always - however fleetingly - consider your own mortality. I suspect Captain Brown is locked in that moment of thought.
Am I safe to to take off; is it too late to pull out?
For the moment everything still points towards take-off and an Autumn general election: Iraq statement Monday, comprehensive spending review on Tuesday - a clearing of the political decks, to change from an aeronautical to nautical metaphor.
So which way will he go? We consider his options.
Abortion debate
Abortion is one of those issues which people feel very strongly about - either way.
Many believe passionately that the embryo is a human life from the very moment of conception - and that abortion is murder.
Others believe equally strongly that it is wrong for those with religious or other convictions to try and dictate to women what they can do with their own fertility. For forty years, abortion has been legal in Britain.
But in the next few months - irrespective of any election - there's likely to be a vote in Parliament on the issue.
Anti-abortion campaigners will not at this stage seek to ban it altogether; instead, they want to lower the upper age limit at which an abortion can be performed - currently twenty-four weeks of pregnancy.
On this narrower issue, the anti-abortion lobby appear to have public opinion on their side - as an exclusive poll for the Politics Show will reveal.
The abortion debate is particularly explosive for the devolved governments of Scotland and Northern Ireland, and is playing itself out there too, as we will be hearing.

RE:How to set up a diff equation for circuit with a diode?
The equation commes from the physics of a p-n junction. The 0.026 in front is really k*T/q, k== Boltzmann's constant, T is temperature in kelvin, q is the electronic charge.
The 10^12 inside is a function of the area ans structure of the diode. it can be thought of as also the reverse leakage current. It changes dramatically with temperature (~ proportional to T^3/2).
Of course there are many reasons why real diodes deviate from this formula.
series resistance will make higher by I*Rseries. At very low and very high currents, the ln[] function gets modified.

Awesome numbers, absolutely awesome. I love how it pulls right to 8k, soooo sick. [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
Did you ever get the bigger injectors and re-tune?
keepn this thread alive
[IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG] for a good job
hmm, coming to this forum via the scirocco forum, what size pistons are those? is it 2.0 or bigger? also, i love the redline you've managed to come up with--how is it to drive? that is what is gravely lacking in this thread--i want to hear just what it feels like to rev this thing to 8000. and if this is a 2.0, how did you get over 200hp? is it mostly the ITB's? cams? porting? i realize it's all of the above but what is the biggest kick in the ass?
thumbs up from the 16v scirocco crowd though. i keep bitching about building an engine like this on the scirocco forum and everyone's always saying go for torque. so how do you like a high HP and medium torque engine? i love revs & i'm not trying to fault you in any way so forgive me if it sounds that way--just want to hear all the specifics of an engine like this.

buy injectors already
Any updates?
no updates. not much has changed. messed around with the exhaust a bit. did a tt 2 1/2 for a while and it was far to loud. am now running the tt 2 1/2 with a super sprint rear muff. i have not yet gotten larger injectors. i did have a long talk with the guys at usrt about it and they seem to think that i should be ok with the injectors that i have if i up the pressure from 3.5 to 4 bar.
i am toying with the idea of switching to some dth itb's ether the badger5's or twm's just to clean things up a bit. if i end up keeping the gsxr's i will retune for the 4 bar later this summer.
And it is indeed a blast to drive and ride in, never a shortage of Power and just pullllllllls forever
I want it
ok so i guess i do have some up dates i painted it last summer and i have pics
i did get some of these
as it sat
1st goodbye bananas

fixed a few dents here and there
then drove it 60miles to my buddies barn like this
lots of sanding
plastic up
plastic down masking off

Homebrew Competitions / Re: NHC 2016 Final Round scores« on: June 13, 2016, 02:37:35 PM »
I cant figure out how to check. Either my password isnt working, or I forgot it. And I cant change it because there's no displayed question for the verification answer. Oh well, I'll just have to be surprised
I could get into mine earlier.... but mine is doing the exact same thing now. Perhaps they just disabled the whole thing until after the awards.
This is still happening for me
If the whole site was disabled, it would be nice to have a message to that effect rather than the username/password message.
FWIW, finally able to get in to the final site now. Unsure what (if anything) changed.
Both of mine made it to mini-BOS. Got a 40 in fruit beer. No medals this time around though
Kudos to the organizers, judges and stewards, and all the medal winners—strong work all around!

I am having a problem with a model I'm making. I'm trying to create a pattern with holes over a curved surface. After very different approaches (all with no close to acceptable results at all) what I did was to create the pattern in a plane (with generate topology) extruded it, and then used it as the operand b in a ProBolean operation. Obviously it messed up the topology and the pattern still just comes from a plane, and not all around the mesh, in a way that every hole would be perpendicular to it (which is what I'm trying to achieve).
I'm sure there has to be a more clean and efficient way to do this... Any suggestions?
Here is an example of the problem:
Thank you.

My Sweetheart Jar of Messages in Mini Envelopes
Another sweet idea. You could always make your own jar of messages as well. Find your own jar, decorate it yourself, and find a creative way to put messages in there. I do like the mini envelopes idea. You can write a bunch of things you love about your partner, and you can put secret messages in there. This might even be an interesting way to ask someone if they will marry you. One of the messages could be that special message or something like that.


text: Sharing Your "Gains"The Special K research underscored the importance of community and a positive support system to achieve weight management success. To help women take the first step in embracing a positive approach to weight management this holiday season, Special K is inviting them to share what they hope to "gain" in 2013 at www.SpecialK.com as part of the newly launched Gains Project. Women will be able not only to share their own positive "gains," but also browse a visual gallery of other women's submissions for inspiration and motivation. "Your gains can be tangible or intangible," said Dr. Engeln. "They might include increased strength, the confidence to try a new activity, or the knowledge that you're acting as a positive, healthy role model for other women in your life. Instead of focusing on the challenges or disappointments of weight management, focus on the person you're becoming as you embrace healthier habits. Share this perspective with others so you can contribute to a positive, supportive community. This type of social support makes a real difference." Ringing in the New Year As 2013 officially gets underway, and the time to set and embark upon new resolutions begins, Special K will invite women from around the world to join in the celebration of Special K Gain Day. The day, to be celebrated on January 2 in the United States, will serve as an opportunity to celebrate all there is to gain when you lose in the year ahead and commit to achieving it. For more information, visit www.SpecialK.com or join in the conversation on the Special K Facebook page or on Twitter @SpecialKUS About the Special K Study "Positivity and Weight Management: A Look at the Gains" The study, produced by Edelman Berland, is based on quantitative data collected from a national telephone survey of 1,004 weight conscious women, ages 25-54 in the United States. The sample was broken out by those with a positive and negative approach by screening participants for specific weight management attitudes and behaviors, including how they view themselves and others[1]. The interviews were conducted August 29 – September 18, 2012. About Kellogg Company

Lady Antebellum Prom
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An Indiana high school wrecked by tornadoes has won a free concert by country music trio Lady Antebellum after an online campaign that saw students in other states advocate on the school's behalf.
Schools from as far away as northern Wisconsin submitted YouTube videos urging the group to choose Henryville, Ind., as the winner of its "Own the Night" prom contest.
Henryville's schools were heavily damaged when tornadoes ripped through southern Indiana on March 2.
Lady Antebellum chose Henryville but won't be able to perform at the school's prom because of a schedule conflict.
Instead, the group will perform May 16 in nearby Louisville, Ky., for the school's juniors and seniors, followed by a benefit for the community.
Entries supporting Henryville came from D.C. Everest Senior High School in Weston, Wis.; Silver Creek High School in Sellersburg, Ind.; and from Harrisburg, Ill., where a tornado struck Feb. 29.

Tom Shone bust a gut to make himself seem human, capable of redemption, maybe even deserving of sympathy, then you ruin it by accompanying his article with a picture of him willingly spending time in the company of Toby Young.
Ludlow Spinks
London SE26
Perhaps The Unfaithful Boyfriend could read Tom Shone's Confessions Of A Serial Shagger for some insight into the value of committed relationships. If he can figure out why an act inherently damaging to someone he loves makes him feel powerful, and why feeling desired has to be separated from feeling love, then, my guess is, his numbness will be cured.

Our daughter, now 32, has a learning disability and epilepsy, and has been described as "in the autistic spectrum", so I can sympathise with David Mitchell and his family. But I never found the Italy/Holland analogy useful at all; I felt more as though we had landed in 1970s Belfast with a mission to convert Ian Paisley to Roman Catholicism. Naoki Higashida's book, however, is wonderful and I thank David and his wife for bringing it to a wider audience. It should be read by all who are affected by autism.

I might print out All At Sea and stick it on the school gate, to be read by the parents who don't bother much to disguise their sneers at my son's behaviour, nor their contempt for my clearly deficient parenting.
Claire Lackford
Macclesfield, Cheshire
The juxtaposition of David Mitchell's article and the story of Gloria Foster's death is important. Families need support to cope. Trained staff who understand the needs of a child (or adult: autism is a lifelong condition) do not and should not come cheap. Increasingly, families are given "personal budgets" that are inadequate to fund specialist care. The marketisation of care means that the poorest families who cannot "top up" these budgets will have the poorest provision. Care on the cheap carries with it huge risks, and the most vulnerable and those who love them are suffering.
Liza Dresner
Director, Resources for Autism, London NW11
As a pensioner, I may be fit and reasonably active now, but I fear disability. When I see stories such as Gloria Foster's, it predisposes me to prefer death with dignity. If society is no longer prepared to pay for the care I am likely to need, I will choose the time of my own death, rather than wait to be abandoned.

Rochester Junior Woman's Club Presents New Officers for 2013-2014
Rochester, MI (July 15, 2013) – The Rochester Junior Woman's Club recently celebrated the end of their year with their annual Installation Dinner held at Meadow Brook Hall.
During the evening their slate of officers for the 2013-2014 year were announced and are as follows: President Kathy Lewis, President Elect Cyndi Toupin, Vice President Anne Dieters-Williams, Recording Secretary Deb Panter, Corresponding Secretary Amy Griffin, Treasurer Marianne Koller and Parliamentarian Jennifer Hyvari.
The club also welcomed 18 new members; Lisa Belisle, Michelle Boerman, Leslie Camisa, Alicia Chenhalls, Angie Davis, Linda Demarco, April Dobat, Noelle Dubois,
Lee Garstick, Susan Gordoa, Sharon Hardy, Jennifer Jostock, Karen Maynard, Melodi McDonald, Nikole Meier, Sandy Risner, Kimberlie Stellman and Carole Welte.
Outstanding members were also recognized for their significant volunteer activities over the past club year; Volunteer of the Year was presented to Linda Dill, this award is given to a member who can be found on every sign up sheet, is there to help cover for others when they cannot attend, is willing to do whatever is needed to get the job done, helps to keep things running smoothly and does not have to be in a leadership position to be recognized. This individual also volunteers for other charitable organizations in the community. "Club Woman of the Year" was presented to Kathy Lewis; this award is presented to the ideal Rochester Junior Woman, someone who promotes the Club within the community and is enthusiastic about the club's goals and programs.
At the club's year end, RJWC was happy to announce that they had donated over $32,000 to various charities within the community over the past 12 months. Proceeds from the club's upcoming fundraising events will go to benefit Meadow Book Hall and Rochester Area Neighborhood House and other local charities.
The club is currently planning their 15th annual Lobster Boil which will be held on September 28, 2013 where live New England lobsters are flown in fresh and members of RJWC cook and wrap the lobsters and have them hot and ready as customers pick them up at the OPC drive-thru site.
The second event the club has planned to raise funds for the recipients will be held on January 25, 2014 at Meadow Brook Hall. The evening will include tours of the hall, a strolling gourmet dinner, music, dancing and a silent auction. The club is also currently planning their annual "Spring Highlights" Luncheon and Shopping Boutique for March 29, 2014 at the Royal Park Hotel.
For over 50 years the Rochester Junior Woman's Club has contributed to the growth and vitality of the community through volunteer service and donation of funds to local charities and organizations. Since its inception, the Rochester Junior Woman's Club has donated more than 1 million hours of community service and raised more than $820,000 to support the local community.

Katharine McPhee Talks "Smash" on the "Today" Show
She's in full promo duty as her show continues to make its debut, and Katharine McPhee made an appearance on the "Today" show on Monday (February 13).
Sitting down with Matt Lauer, the "American Idol" beauty looked lovely in black slacks paired with a pale pink top while being quite happy to chat about her brand new NBC series "Smash."
Of the musical drama that premiered on February 6th, McPhee said, "It's so many things for me. Since I've come off 'Idol' and before 'Idol' I've been pounding away as an actress and you try to get people to see you in a different light."
"For me, it's an amazing opportunity to be able to do what I love. I never would've imagined that I would be being able to act, which is really what I wanted to achieve at some point, but be able to do everything. I get to sing and I get to dance and I get to act," McPhee went on to say.
Enjoy the pictures of Katharine McPhee making an appearance on the "Today" show (February 13).

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
In 1915 Cunard's transatlantic cruise liner RMS Lusitania was tropedoed and sunk by a German U-Boat off the coast of Ireland. This historically notorious act, which effectively triggered the United States's entry into the First World War, also marked the untimely demise of a passenger who had been a visionary champion of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and become known as the American William Morris.
Twenty years earlier, in 1895, Elbert Green Hubbard had established a community of craftsmen in East Aurora, New York – the State to which I'm currently trainbound from Washington DC, on the last leg of my US lecture tour. Inspiration for this had come from a trip to England, during which Hubbard encountered the writings and ideas of William Morris who, in founding the Arts and Crafts Movement, had advocated a move away from the all-too-often poor quality of industrial mass-produced products, and a return to the high standards of hand-craftsmanship as best-exemplified by the craftsman guilds of Medieval Europe.
Hubbard named his community Roycroft, taking it from the surname of two 17th-century London printers, and the old European word meaning "king's craft" or "craft for a king". By 1910 the Roycrofter craftsmen – printers, bookbinders, leathersmiths, metalsmiths, and furniture makers – had grown to a community of almost 500. Although the Roycroft workshops, collectively run by Hubbard's son Elbert Junior after his death, survived commercially until 1938, it is the pieces produced during their first 15-20 years – especially the furniture, the lighting fixtures, and the metal wares – that have proved to be exceptionally desirable to collectors nowadays.
As the representative examples illustrate, the furniture displays essentially rectilinear forms with strong proportions, and is solidly constructed with prominent pegged mortise-and-tenon joints. Although ash and mahogany were used, the favoured wood was oak, which almost invariably displays a very pleasing warm, nut-brown patina. Decorative details tend to be limited to hand-hammered iron or copper hardware from the workshops that produced the now almost equally desirable metal wares, which included light fittings.
Although some pieces are incised "ROYCROFT", most are marked with a "double-cross and orb" symbol, with the orb containing a capital "R". The application of this distinctive cypher was an embryonic form of branding that predicts the extensive product advertising of the later 20th century. It is also confirmation that the object to which it has been applied is not only exceptionally well crafted, but is also stylistically significant.
In their simplicity of line and economical ornamentation Roycroft's Arts and Crafts pieces tip their hat to the past in a fusion of European Medieval and, via the Aesthetic Movement, traditional Japanese forms, but also predict the uncluttered clarity of modernism that was to follow. As such they are historically important as well as a pleasure to look at and to use, and that's why they command such increasingly high prices in the auction houses and dealer showrooms of the 21st century.

Kidney Transplant FAQs
How is my care coordinated between UCLA Medical Center and my kidney doctor?
Each end-stage renal disease patient is assigned a coordinator from the UCLA Kidney Transplant Program at the time of the initial evaluation. Transplant coordinators are nurses who will be responsible for the overall coordination of your transplant-related care at UCLA. The coordinator and the program physicians will maintain contact with your physician.
At the time of the evaluation appointment, the UCLA kidney transplant office may request the following information from the referring doctor:
Full chemistry panel
Complete blood count (CBC), differential, platelet count
Hepatitis studies
HIV screening
Blood test for syphilis (VDRL)
CMV titers, herpes simplex titers, EBV titers
Urine culture with sensitivities
Recent electrocardiogram (within 6 months)
Chest x-ray
Pap smear for women candidates
Mammogram for women candidates
PSA blood test for male candidates over age 50, to screen for prostate cancer
Additional tests that may be requested include:
Renal ultrasound
Liver ultrasound/gall bladder ultrasound
Cardiac studies
What happens at the evaluation appointment?
An evaluation appointment can be scheduled by calling the Transplant Office at UCLA Medical Center at (310) 825-6836. During the evaluation appointment, you will meet with the transplant nephrologist, surgeon, transplant coordinator and social worker.
A member of the transplant team will perform a complete history and physical, review previous test results and decide if any further tests are required. A team member will determine whether you are a candidate for surgery and address any issues that may affect the surgery itself. The transplant team will communicate with your kidney doctor, keep records up-to-date, and be your contact person to answer questions. Information about the transplant evaluation, listing process and waiting time periods will be provided by the transplant coordinator, as well as the options of living donor or cadaveric transplant. An assessment of your emotional well-being, transportation, housing and financial resources will be made by the social worker with involvement by the financial counselor, if necessary.
Also during this appointment, blood for tissue typing will be drawn. All other tests, including blood tests, will be arranged according to your provider policy. Potential kidney donors are encouraged to attend this appointment for information and to initiate the donation process.
Tests and examinations that will be performed at UCLA include:
Transplant medical and surgical evaluation
Psychosocial evaluation
Blood typing
Tissue type identification and antibody screening
Tissue type identification, blood type identification, and crossmatch test of any potential donor
Following the evaluation appointment, each patient's case is presented at the weekly meeting of the UCLA Kidney Transplant Selection Committee, which is made up of all members of the renal transplant team. At this time, a determination is made if any other tests are required to ensure the patient's candidacy for transplant. Your coordinator at UCLA will notify you and your referring physician and/or nephrologist of the recommendation made by the transplant team. Upon completion of additional tests with satisfactory results, a patient is placed on the transplant waiting list.
What are my transplant options?
The Pediatric and Adult Kidney Transplant Programs at UCLA offer both living-related and cadaver donor transplantation. If a patient is accepted as a transplant candidate at UCLA, the possibility of a living-donor transplant is explored and encouraged. With a living donor, a transplant can take place as soon as all tests are completed for the donor and recipient.
Patients who require cadaveric transplantation are placed on the national transplant waiting list. This list has over 60,000 potential recipients on it and is maintained by The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). When a kidney is available, the donor blood type and tissue type are entered into the UNOS computer. Once the best possible match is identified, the UCLA Transplant Center is notified. The average wait for potential transplant recipients who live in the Los Angeles area is five years. While on the waiting list, each patient's health status is followed closely. A monthly blood sample is sent by the dialysis unit and is held at UCLA so that it can be used to test whether the patient is compatible with potential donor kidneys. Close contact between your nephrologist, dialysis unit and UCLA coordinator is essential. Any hospitalizations, surgeries, tests, blood transfusions, infections or change in address and phone number should be related to your UCLA coordinator so records are up-to-date if a kidney becomes available. Each patient needs to schedule an appointment at UCLA every 12 months while on the waiting list.

Sharing is good right? Well not always. As with all parts of life, a huge part of any organisation's social media strategy is knowing when to shut the hell up.
Labour's so-called and much lauded social media tsar, yesterday committed a potentially disastrous gaffe when she tweeted results of postal votes for the upcoming election.
Kerry McCarthy (@kerry4MP) is the twitter evangelist who was responsible for training up Labour politicians in the art of teh interwebs. Oops.
Under the Representation of the People Act it is illegal to reveal details of votes cast before the polling day as it may influence those yet to vote. Avon and Somerset police are now investigating this potentially criminal act.
Other twitter users pretty quickly realised something was amiss and let Ms McCarthy know. Blogger Darren Bridgman was first on the scene.
After briefly trying to defend her position, and presumably consulting with those who know better, @Kerry4MP deleted the tweets. But as we all know, news travels fast and word had got out. Here was her response to the BBC.
On hearing the results of a random and unscientific sample of postal votes, I posted them on Twitter. It was a thoughtless thing to do, and I very quickly realised that it was not appropriate to put such information in the public domain.
"Quickly realised" but not quick enough. At its heart, this is not a social media error. Kerry McCarthy made a simple mistake. She should have known it was illegal to share that information with the public and not done it. This error could have been made when talking to a journalist or writing a press release but in this case she is not only the source of the information but the editor and publisher. What this incident proves, if more proof be needed, is that in this world of instant communication, you have to be really sure of your message and in control of the information you choose to share.

Arthur Sense
Russian Federation
Arthur Sense aka Arthur Klyagin was born in the town of Bryansk, Russia. His passion for electronic dance music began long ago, in 1994. Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Martin Garcia, Dave Seaman, Danny Howells, Jimmy Van M had a great impact on his music taste formation. Underground sound was the standard that he defined for himself. In the beginning of 2000, a real revolution in his vision of music was made by Moshic Shlomi aka Argonaut, and later Kintar, Rex & Maindave. Ethnic, oriental, dark progressive sound of the waves of deep bass lines characteristic of it determined the further development of Arthur Sense as a dj.

Budgeting for Used Cars in the Economy Today
These days there are some fairly decent numbers of used cars which are selling at prices that consumers often are able to afford without too much pressure being put on their already strained budgets. The fact is that so many drivers have found in the last couple of years that the cost of owning a vehicle can make a dramatic impact on even the most carefully calculated monthly budget.
When a consumer takes into account the overall value they get out of their vehicle which they use everyday to go to work or other important places, they quickly begin to notice that there are usually some fairly substantial opportunities to increase the value they seek while at the same time reducing the costly overhead which comes along with a larger, less fuel efficient vehicle. Of course these people may have already locked into a long term car loan which in turn makes the situation rather difficult to get out of without any consequences. This may not be all that necessary though even when the vehicle is considered to be a gas guzzler.
Although there are several approaches to the fact that a used car is costing the individual or their family more money than what they wish to be spending, some of the more appealing resolutions to these types of issues may simply involve getting a second used car. This could allow the family member who drives the most to take the more economical car each day, while the other family members would have access to the less driven vehicle because it ultimately costs more to drive in the first place. There are opportunities to find used cars under 3000 dollars today and many of the people in such tight budget scenarios as mentioned here could possibly benefit from getting a second vehicle. As this could allow for additional saving, and it may not be wise to spend more than what your budget will allow, it in turn helps the economy as a whole.
All businesses are dependent on having sales and this is certainly true in the used car industry. Sure the cars under 3000 dollars may not be as appealing as the more expensive models, but if it serves a useful purpose then this is certainly worthy of at least some consideration. The overall economy today is one which is uncertain to say the least. Anyone who has to commute or travel a good deal each week will be able to not only appreciate the need for transportation, but should also appreciate the need to conserve on capital in any way that will benefit themselves and their families.

Many of UNDP's relationships with countries and territories on the ground exceed 50 years.
Find details on our successes and ongoing work. Visit UNDP's global website.
The Integrated Local Development Project (ILDP), as an integral pillar of the UNDP Rural and Regional Development Sector, provides support to help strengthen local development planning and the realisation of local strategies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project approach provides a "bridge" between the strategic and budgetary frameworks of local and higher levels of government and also provides assistance to 40 local governments to design their integrated local strategies and to successfully implement them in partnership with their communities.
The name Srebrenica has come to represent all the horrors of war and conjures up images of mass human loss and tragedy. Even today, the region has not fully recovered from the events and destruction, which occurred during the 1992-1995 conflict. As such, Srebrenica and the surrounding region remains one of the most depressed in the country, lagging behind on most indicators.
Rivers do not stop at administrative or political boundaries. The only way to protect and use rivers is therefore through the collaborative efforts of all the stakeholders within the natural geographical river basins.
Located in eastern BiH, the Birač region covers geographically coherent territories of Bratunac, Milići, Srebrenica, Šekovići, Vlasenica and Zvornik municipalities. Although it is endowed with abundant natural resources, the region is faced with great development challenges, which stem from the devastating consequences of the 1992-1995 war and thereafter difficult overall socio-economic transition.
The project aims to contribute to the reduction of economic, social, and regional disparities in BiH through the affirmation of the Via Dinarica as a regional tourism destination and increase BiH's competitiveness in nature-based tourism.
The Municipal Environmental and Economic Governance (MEG) project aims to improve municipal development management systems and services in the environmental and economic sectors. These improvements will result in better local services for the citizens, enhanced accountability and trust between local authorities, citizens and businesses.
Project "Local Integrated Development" (LID) will directly contribute to improvements in the standard of living for more than 100,000 people in BiH, working with domestic authorities to put into place mechanisms and resources needed to drive social and economic development.The Project is implemented in 21 partner cities and municipalities, prioritizing localities that are home to large returnee population and were affected by the May 2014 floods.
See all projects related to Rural and Regional Development>
The overall project objective is to improve the quality of life of the citizens of BiH, through enhancing local services and increasing democratic accountability and social inclusion. The project purpose is to foster the engagement of citizens in municipal decision making, in the provision of municipal quality services and in the implementation of local development initiatives by reinforcing the democratic role of MZs in BiH.
UNDP with the support of USAID is implementing a one-year regional project for Eastern Europe, with specific focus on Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Serbia that has been designed to contribute to the reduction of inequalities and exclusion experienced by LGBTI people, by combating homophobia and transphobia.
According to Human development reports, there is increasing evidence that anti-corruption efforts are contributing to the promotion of transparency and accountability in the decision-making process. While corruption is a difficult phenomenon to measure, due to its complexity, more evidence is emerging on the correlation between corruption indicators and economic and human development indicators.
About one third of the world's population is infected with tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, however only a small proportion of those infected will become sick with TB. Up to 20 million lives have been saved since 1995 through the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course) and the Stop TB Strategies. Bosnia and Herzegovina is categorised as having an "intermediate" tuberculosis (TB) burden, with approximately 1,400 new tuberculosis cases reported annually over the last few years and a TB-related mortality rate of 6.8%. The majority of TB patients in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be cured with TB drugs as part of the standard treatment course, while resistance to those drugs is rare.
HIV/AIDS has had limited impact so far in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) with only 74 reported cases of people living with the disease and currently on antiretroviral therapy. Although the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in BiH is low, the focus on preventing an increase in infection is high. Early identification of the disease enables individuals to take actions that benefit both their own health and public health, and the early treatment of those infected substantially reduces the risk of HIV transmission to others.
See all projects related to Social Inclusion and Democratic Governance>
During 2015 – 2019, UNDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina will strategically focus on coordination support and capacity development for prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.
Project EXPLODE is a follow up to the Small Arms Control and Reduction project carried out by UNDP between 2005-2012. As uncontrolled explosions can cause the displacement of people living near ammunition depots and can have devastating safety and development implications for the local population and, indeed, may result in a humanitarian crisis, it is crucially important to prevent the uncontrolled explosion of old and unstable ammunition. The current project is therefore designed to support the efforts of the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina by providing training to MoD personnel in the latest and safest ammunition destruction methods.
Access to justice for the poor and marginalised is not guaranteed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to a fragmented and poorly developed free legal aid (FLA) system in the country, and the lack of harmonised legislation at the State level. Therefore, free legal aid is only available in a limited number of jurisdictions and, where legislation is in place, governmental free legal aid services are underequipped, understaffed, and lack quality monitoring tools and professional training. In addition, the general public are not aware of their rights on free legal aid services.
In the period 1992-1995, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was the site of a large-scale armed conflict characterised by systematic and widespread violations of international humanitarian law resulting in the loss of an estimated 100,000 lives. Facing the events from the recent past, especially by combating impunity for war crimes, is recognised as one of the basic preconditions for reconciliation and progress, both internally and externally, for the development of BiH into a democratic and stable country.
See all projects related to Justice and Security>
The Green Economic Development Project aims at the institutionalization of energy management activities within the public sector buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those activities contribute and are in line with EU directives (Energy Service Directive, EPBD directive), the Energy Community Treaty and BiH's obligation to report on current energy consumption and energy savings in accordance with Energy Efficiency Action Plans.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has significant biomass energy resources, and the rural population in particular is highly dependent on wood for energy. However, despite the large potential for biomass energy, a number of interrelated market barriers – including the limited availability of financing, a lack of business models and management skills, limited information availability and low awareness – combine to restrict the self-sustaining growth of this market.
This project will enable the government of BiH and communities of the Vrbas basin to adapt to flood risk through the transfer of adaptation technologies for climate resilient flood management and embark on climate resilient economic activities.
The project makes initial steps in terms of preparation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for fulfillment of obligations of the Minamata convention on mercury. This encompasses activities which include conducting an initial mercury assessment in the country, based on which the requirements, specific obligations and further steps would be identified. Apart from this, B&H awareness and capacities will be built in parallel. This will lead to creation of an environment where the relevant institutions would have exact information on B&H circumstances in terms of mercury and lay baseline foundation for further action in order to sustainably continue with the implementation of the convention (once becoming a party of it).
UNDP, BiH in partnership with the Republic of Srpska Ministry for Spatial Planning, Construction and Ecology, and GEF financial support, has started implementation of the Project Enabling Activities for the Preparation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Third National Communication to the UNFCCC.
Project aims to contribute to sustainable development of utility companies that are providing high quality water supply, wastewater collection and sanitation services to citizens while preserving a healthy environment and strengthening the social protection and inclusion system.
SEE URBAN aims to apply and adapt best practices of disaster risk reduction in order to reduce the consequences and protect people, environment and property from natural disasters in the units of local governments.

"The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" by Michelle Alexander. The New Press: New York 2010.
Since I've got a letter from Judge Marks staff fraudulently claiming he can't comply with 22 NYCRR 100.3(D)(1), the okd man must step down and make himsekf at home in jail with a few NYC housing judges that violated due process with impunity. Hell, he can invite Michael Pesce to join them following the 2002 bribery scandal that rocked Brooklyn. Meanwhile, DiFiore must confess her Excellence Initiative is as excellent as how atrocious judges get disciplined by the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct and Judge Fern Fisher - they hardky ever. Kill judicial immunity.
Having practiced criminal defense law in NYC for many decades, I share a deep regret that Judge Obus is being replaced. His temperment, insight and judiciousness helped solve the most vexing of cases. He was fair-minded to both prosecution and defense. We will all miss the job he did as chief administrative judge. Speed is not always a defendant's best friend, especially when dealing with complex felony charges and issues of defendants suffering mental illness and cognitive deficits. Defense attorneys rarely know much about the strength of the case against their client until the eve of trial when the Manhattan D.A.'s Office finally turns over discovery. All of this adds to delay and the difficulty in brokering a fair plea deal. I welcome Judge Obus back to the bench as a full-time trial judge and look forward to practicing before him in the future. I only hope the court finds someone as good as he was to replace him.
I was honored to be a judge during Judge Obus' administration. As each case requires more and more attention due to more exacting procedural rules, electronic and surveillance evidence, expert witnesses, and so on, it will take longer to process and try, notwithstanding the most "muscular" approach to moving cases. The judges and litigants and court staff will miss Judge Obus sorely, although I am sure that he as I wishes the new Court Administration success.
So "Due Process" can be sacrificed if a Judge is 'tired' of "no disposition"?

Put Long-lasting New-string Tone on Your Bass!
These EXP nickel bass strings feature a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. Sweetwater knows that choosing the perfect string is vital to a musician's sound. EXP coated bass strings have a natural round wound feel and sound fresh with a "new string tone" that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings.
D'Addario - Making strings for over 300 years
Behind every set of D'Addario strings are over three centuries of fine craftsmanship. The D'Addario family tradition began in the tiny town of Salle, Italy in 1680 where they made assorted instrument strings for over two hundred years before relocating to New York in 1905. As the modern string making industry began to develop, the D'Addario family emerged as innovators by designing the winding machine most string makers still use today. And while their techniques have modernized, the pride that goes into each set of strings dates back to the D'Addario family's earliest roots.D'Addario EXP160 EXP Bass Strings Features at a Glance:
- Long scale
- Light Top/Medium Bottom gauge
- .045, .065, .085, .105
- An ultra-fine layer of EXP coating
- Built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear
- Lasts 3 to 4 times longer than traditional bass strings

Someone recently asked me what it was like to be around Maharaji. As a child, all I remember was that it was great fun. As I replay those meetings in my mind, I feel differently today – here was a man who did not look like any other sadhu that I had seen or met; he did not sound like any saint that I had met – his language was often colorful; he did not have the same hang ups as most other sadhus that I had come across – most have severe restrictions about where they will eat, who will cook it etc.. His devotees did not fit into any pattern either – they were rich, they were poor, they were Hindus, they were Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, and even the atheists who did not realize that they had been drawn.
There were the VIP's and the dacoits, all in the same room. He preached nothing and yet his devotees were constantly learning. He met no pattern, he fit no description, and yet from where he sat, he was telling the kitchen what he wanted cooked; he was telling an eight year old what he would be when he grew up; he was scolding someone else about a recent lapse of judgment; addressing someone else about a concern that he/she was yet to express and probably dealing with creation elsewhere in the Universe, all at the same time. The answer to every question was still "How do I know?" He defies description and he does so on purpose.
– Excerpt from Barefoot in the Heart: Remembering Neem Karoli Baba

The cruise ship is alright, but not as good as expected for just being remodeled
, May 30, 2012
The carpet was brand new and they added an outdoor movie screen.
The entertainment wasn't very good there wasn't enough variety.

The ship just had a 54 million dollar renovation a month ago, but you really couldn't tell besides the new smelling carpet throughout the ship. There was supposed to be Ipads in each room to access your account, but I was told that RC ran out of money so they didn't install them. The rooms don't have interactive TV, so you have to go to guest services to find out the balance on your account.
We had a window room and they no longer have refrigerators. The room no longer had a small sofa it just had a chair. They got rid of the hard plastic shower enclosure and added a shower curtain. Which lets water go everywhere on the floor, toilet, and then the shower curtain clings to you while you're in the shower.
The entertainment was a Broadway show each night except the last night they had a fantastic comedian. They added two shows in the Centrium area of the boat, but didn't announce the time of the shows so we missed the first one.
The food was good as usual and they added the Park Cafe in the solarium and it had even better food then the Windjammer. The dining room was also very good.
We took this cruise to Alaska which was beautiful I would recommend the Radiance of the Sea over the Rhapsody of the Sea if you have a choice. I've been on both boats and the Radiance is much nicer with more to do on it.

Tunisian crochet, a type of crochet for which special Tunisian crochet hooks are available, has gone by different names over the years. It was called "Afghan Stitch" among those of us who grew up in the USA in the 1970's. Prior to that it has been called everything from "Hook Knitting" to "Tricot Crochet" to the romantic "Royal Princess Stitch."
If you think you know what Tunisian crochet is, make sure you're up to date! It's enjoying an exciting renaissance.
Subscribe to my newsletter to stay informed about this hot crochet technique. Learn about new Tunisian stitches and find out when new Tunisian crochet patterns and hooks are added to this site.
The formerly dense, thermal Tunisian crochet has many new lacy looks with fashionable drape. It's starring in new yarns for new projects and sometimes co-starring with other interesting crochet techniques in the same project, such as Slip Stitch, Broomstick, and Hairpin Lace.
The most distinctive difference between regular and Tunisian crochet is that each complete Tunisian row has two parts: a "forward pass" (stitches are begun by putting loops onto the crochet hook) and a "return pass" (stitches are completed by working each stitch loop off of the hook).
During each forward pass, each stitch is held on the hook across a row, and this causes it resemble knitting to some folks. It's often an enjoyable first experience of crochet for knitters. In fact, classes for it are growing in demand at yarn shops around the country.
Subscribe to my newsletter to find out when I'm teaching Tunisian crochet classes online and in yarn shops.
Tunisian crochet has much in common with regular crochet: one hook is used throughout instead of two needles. Although the stitches can initially look very different (and some even mimic knitted fabric), they have an innate crochet structure. For example, the return pass resembles chain stitches and is structurally equivalent to slip stitches. A fun fact is that the lesser-known but handy linked stitches of regular crochet are structurally the same as Tunisian Simple Stitch.
A Tunisian row can have any number of stitches in it, and the Tunisian crochet hook needs to be long enough to hold all of the stitches. A Tunisian hook with a long flexible cable attached to it is best for a very long row of stitches, such as for an afghan worked in one piece, or for a shawl or scarf worked lengthwise.
At the other extreme, a row with few stitches, such as with Tunisian entrelac, can be worked with a common regular crochet hook as long as it doesn't have a thumb rest indentation or thick handle along most of the hook's length.
The single greatest difference between the "Afghan Stitch" of the 1960's-70's and the breezy Tunisian crochet of today may be the new larger Tunisian crochet hooks on the market (above size K/6.5mm). I rely on them heavily when designing fashionable Tunisian with soft drape-y yarns.
You can purchase large Tunisian crochet hooks in the DesigningVashti online shop if you're having trouble finding them at your local shops. I'm constantly designing new crochet patterns for them. The shop will be open soon.
I find that many crocheters and knitters who encountered the "Afghan crochet" of the 1960's-'70s strongly associate it with yarns for making the dense blankets and car coats in vogue back then--usually a worsted weight acrylic or wool yarn, worked on an "afghan hook" smaller than size K/6.5mm. This kind of Tunisian is still great for afghans and structured jackets if not worked too tightly.
Like many long time crocheters, I was perfectly content knowing one Tunisian stitch--for decades! Tunisian is best known for its versatile basic stitch, called Tunisian Simple Stitch (a.k.a. "Afghan Stitch" and is abbreviated Tss in patterns).
This stitch may be even easier to learn than the basic Single Crochet of regular crochet. With its unique and appealing woven appearance it always looks good. Simply changing the hook size, or the yarn's fiber content or plying, or alternating yarn colors every row or so, can give an entirely fresh look.
To be among the first to know when new Tunisian crochet patterns are added, be sure to subscribe to my e-newsletter.

Police-Public Contact Survey, 2005 [United States] (ICPSR 20020)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Statistics
The Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS), was designed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to document contacts between police and the public that culminated in police using force. The 2005 survey was conducted as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). To date, the PPCS has been conducted four times by BJS. The first survey -- described in the BJS publication, "Police Use of Force: Collection of National Data" (NCJ 165040) -- documented levels of contacts with police during 1996. The second survey -- described in "Contacts Between Police and the Public: Findings from the 1999 National Survey" (NCJ 184957) -- recorded police-citizen contacts in 1999. These data are archived in POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 1999 (ICPSR 3151). The third survey -- described in the BJS publication, "Contacts Between Police and the Public, Findings from the 2002 National Survey" (NCJ 207845) -- recorded police-citizen contacts in 2002. These data are archived in POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2002: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 4273). The fourth survey -- described in the BJS publication, "Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2005" (NCJ 215243) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2005. The results of this survey are contained in this data collection.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: police citizen interactions, police community relations, police officers, police use of force, public interest, public opinion
Smallest Geographic Unit: country
Geographic Coverage: United States
- 2005
- 2005-07-01--2005-12-31
Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: Respondents aged 16 and older to the National Crime Victimization Survey during the last six months of 2005. The universe of the NCVS is all persons in the United States aged 12 and older.
Sample: Stratified multistage cluster sample.
Weight: To obtain national estimates, the weight variable must be used.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI), face-to-face interview, telephone interview
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Performed consistency checks.
- Standardized missing values.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Restrictions: This data collection may not be used for any purpose other than statistical reporting and analysis. Use of these data to learn the identity of any person or establishment is prohibited.
Original ICPSR Release: 2007-06-18
- 2008-05-06 The weights for the 2005 PPCS data were revised to reflect a change of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) person weights. An NCVS weighting issue was discovered that resulted in the revision of the NCVS person weights. The NCVS revision directly affected the person weights for 0.8 percent of all households in the 2005 NCVS. Revising the PPCS weights was therefore necessary since the NCVS person weights are the starting point for the PPCS weighting. Due to this correction, some estimates produced by the archived database will differ slightly from those shown in the BJS report Contacts between Police and the Public, 2005. The difference between the published (19.09 percent) and revised (19.14 percent) overall rate of police-public contact in 2005 is about 0.05 percent.
