Is there any chance at all for a third alternative on the political landscape' The auguries are mixed and the future of such a formation uncertain. But it can no longer be ruled out. Events in northern and western India point to the real possibility of a third front re-emerging in Indian politics. The key factor working in favour of such a realignment is that there are large regions or sections of the body politic that are not fully integrated into the formations headed by Sonia Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Until now, the adroit management of contradictions by the latter has not only propelled him into high office but looks set to be the single greatest factor working in his favour in the run-up to the next general elections.
But the continued viability of regional formations points to the fact that these forces can grow stronger the moment both the larger parties look more vulnerable. This is precisely what happened in 1996, though that exact course of events is unlikely to repeat itself. The Bharatiya Janata Party has come out of the near-total isolation it suffered in the immediate aftermath of the demolition of the Babri Masjid. The Congress too is busy preparing to take power rather than lick its wounds after a bruising electoral defeat as was the case in 1996.
But for a variety of reasons, the possibility of a third front cannot be wished away. Such a development would belie the assertion of many commentators that the Indian polity is now fully or almost fully polarized along one fault line. You are either with the BJP or the Congress. Or else you are out of the picture.
This is a line of thought that appears to be validated by the way the votes get divided up as in the recent vote of confidence in Parliament. It will get further empirical grounding as the campaign for the four assembly elections in northern India gets under way.
The problem is that this rather simple reading breaks down once the ground realities are examined. Regional gaps in the support base of the larger all-India parties are actually so commonplace that their consequences are not given due attention. Neither major national party rules in Uttar Pradesh, the countrys most populous state. Neither can hope to rule in Bihar, West Bengal or Tamil Nadu in the foreseeable future.
In much of the Hindi belt, including the four states going to polls, all eyes are on what the Bahujan Samaj Party does next. Indications are that it will for a time be a bitter adversary of the BJP. Rallying round its leader, Mayavati, as she fights her way through the courts, it may well enter into a closer engagement with the Congress, especially in central and northern India. The now ailing Kanshi Ram has often said that his party will work with the B-team of the manuwadi parties against the A-team. There is no second-guessing that it is the Congress that is a distant second in todays India.
While the BSPs own track record suggests that no one can predict where it will be even a year from now, this is not the case with other key players in the anti-BJP camp. Each has a different set of reasons for refusing to unite under the banner of the Congress in a pre-poll pact. But the net result is that these disparate groups may be driven to establish some loose coordination with each other. This will have two advantages. It will not surrender the entire anti-Hindutva space to the Congress. Further, it will enable them to possibly emerge as a strong lobby in the post-election phase. Depending on how things turn out, they may play kingmaker or, if the situation warrants, a queen-breaker. A union or even a tactical alignment of the Congress and the BSP will actually have the effect of distancing the former from Mulayam Singh Yadav. In fact, the upshot of the crackdown on Shiv Sena activists by the Samajwadi Party-led coalition in Ayodhya only deepens the coming competition between the regime and the Congress for the support of the religious minorities. There is little doubt in anyones mind that the Samajwadi Party sees itself as the new ruling hegemon in Lucknow and that the road to Delhi lies through Lucknow.
In fact, this will create more space for closer ties between Mulayam Singh Yadav and the Nationalist Congress Party. The latter has the financial resources to offer a platform to Congressmen disgruntled with Sonia Gandhis leadership or the denial of tickets in the forthcoming assembly elections. In Chhattisgarh, V.C. Shukla has already shown that he can chip away at the Congress leaders support base at the local level even if his vote-catching abilities are unproven. The Congress in turn will watch what happens next very carefully. After all, in a state where the difference between winner and loser is less than one per cent, a strong third force can tip the scales in the BJPs favour.
Few would bet on the NCP-Congress alliances chances of going into the next elections with a unified platform either at the assembly or the Lok Sabha level. If Sharad Pawar manages to hold his party together, it will again play the spoiler in a clutch of states crucial to the Congress: Maharashtra, Goa, Chhattisgarh and Meghalaya. These states total 66 Lok Sabha seats and in a fight for the spot of the single largest party in the house, they may make all the difference.
Equally significant though easy to miss out is the Janata Dal (Secular) in Karnataka. It has displaced the BJP as the premier opposition player. With the continuing spate of farmers suicides, now over the 250 mark, former prime minister, H.D. Deve Gowda, has been attracting considerable crowds in the rural hinterland. The Congress led by S.M. Krishna is no pushover, but a semblance of unity among the warring Janata factions often makes them formidable on the ground.
Due to its different assessment of the situation, the Left Front is unlikely to help coalesce such a front. A large section of its leadership feels this may play right into the hands of the BJP, which it considers a key ideological adversary. But the left mainly faces a Congress-led opposition in at least two of its three bastions, Tripura and Kerala. Were the BJP to slip well below the present 183 mark, the left would be in a position to do business with a loose third front formation.
All this brings us to the question of questions, namely the consequences for the premier opposition party. If the Congress were stronger, it would be able to bind and unify allies against the ruling combine. But its continuing vulnerability as well as the all-too-real ground-level conflicts of interest with other parties prevents it from consolidating the anti-National Democratic Alliance vote in one pool. Having the most inexperienced leader in its history at the helm will also not help it deal with regional satraps who have fought their way to the top. Satraps would play a waiting game than surrender their options to a member of the Gandhi-Nehru family.
But that is to get ahead of the story. At the present juncture, the possibility of a third front is more remote than in 1996 but not as distant a prospect as it was during the last general elections. The Congress is a newcomer to the art of alliances and coalitions. It is only natural there will be other aspirants who have swum in these waters for much longer. Who the third front really harms most, the Congress or the BJP, will be worth watching.

gtx 660 SLI on asrock z77 extreme 4
Little info on asrock z77 extreme 4:
Slots: - 2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (PCIE3: single at x16 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE3) or dual at x8/x8 mode)
Supports NVIDIA® SLI
If i run 1 GTX 660 in the main pcie slot and i add another one for SLI, does the processing power or transfer rate of both cards get cut because they will run at x8?
i have an i7-3770K, a gtx 660 and asrock z77 ext4
Thanks in advance guys.
|My System Specs
|17 Nov 2012
In terms of performance, adding a second GTX 660 to your system will only boost by about 90% graphics performance.
The cards processing power or transfer rate won't get "cutted". They will simply work as a regular SLI configuration.
|My System Specs
|17 Nov 2012
Sir, you said "will only boost performance". is there anything else that could be increased if better cards than 660 run in sli? like 2x670 or 2x680. i know it's not a high-end card, but, do you think it's worth for me to buy another 660 and run them in sli?
thank you, sir.
|My System Specs
|17 Nov 2012
sorry, forgot the "only", my mistake.
2x GTX 670 are better than 2x GTX 660 because the GTX 670 is faster than a GTX 660.
If you need more graphics power, adding a second GTX 660 will boost your system a lot. So yes, this will be a nice upgrade.
But keep in mind that some games or applications don't support multi-GPU rendering, so they will use only a GTX 660 to work. In this case, a single fast GPU should be the best choice.
so, what do you need? what applications are you using?
|My System Specs
|17 Nov 2012
umm, i actually built this computer to run CFD, Autocad, Agisoft and others for work related. they run just fine with this setup for now, and hopefully years ahead. i also play games, that's why i asked about sli configuration. if my card can perform better with sli for years to come, then i'll buy another one.
thank you very much, sir.
|My System Specs
|17 Nov 2012
yes, another GTX 660 will boost performance on these applications.
You're welcome

Some people promise you the stars. We deliver.
Steve talks about the discovery of the spiral structure of galaxies, and how observers expectations blinded them to something so obvious.
this is about 90 minutes long, but the main talk ends at 1h 10m, then we have about 10 minutes of Q&A and 10 mins of club business.
For our May 14 meeting, Steve Gottlieb, a contributing editor for Sky & Telescope, will be our featured speaker on "Unwrapping the Visual Discovery of Spiral Nebula". This is the story of William Parsons' (Third Earl of Rosse) first visual observations of M51 with his massive 72-inch speculum reflector in the spring of 1845 and the subsequent discovery of spiral structure in dozens of "nebulae". The context is how our biases and expectations affect our visual perception at the eyepiece. Eyepiece sketches of several spirals by R

Prof. John Faulkner, UCSC, will be speaking on "A Life with Stars" at the April 9 meeting. His professional interests lie in the the theory of stellar structure and evolution, but this talk will cover much more: John Faulkner received his degrees at Cambridge University. His Thesis advisor was Fred Hoyle, noted for the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis in supernova explosions and for the steady state theory of the universe (he rejected the big bang theory). John was also a contemporary of Stephen Hawking, Margaret and Geoffrey Burbidge, and William Fowler.
Every summer the Santa Cruz Astronomy Club packs up our telescopes and camping gear for a trip to Glacier Point in Yosemite National park. It's a fun weekend of observing and sharing the night sky with park visitors from all over the world.

This company is highly recommended, numerous times, in Frommer's 4th edition guide to India, among other guidebooks. I arranged a tour with John Thomas, who appears to run the company, for a trip to India I had scheduled for July 2011. He insisted that we wire the funds up front. He said it was almost entirely refundable, and we trusted the guidebook recommendation, so we sent the money.
Unfortunately, an emergency came up and we had to cancel our entire vacation several weeks before we were due to go. John Thomas promised to return the roughly $800 we were due. We followed up with him repeatedly -- more than 35 emails in all over the course of the next five months -- and he repeatedly said he was about to have the bank wire back the funds. It never happened. When we finally told him we were going to pursue complaints within the tourism ministry and anywhere else we could, he simply stopped writing us back altogether.
Google around, as we did too late, and you'll find out he's done this to other people as well. We were stupid to have trusted the guidebooks and him; I wanted to post here in hopes of countering the positive reviews given to Kerala Adventures in the guidebooks. Do NOT wire him the funds in advance -- and trust me, just stay away from this company.

Warning about Kerala Adventures
This company is highly recommended, numerous times, in Frommer's 4th edition guide to India, among other guidebooks. I arranged a tour with John Thomas, who appears to run the company, for a trip to India I had scheduled for July 2011. He insisted that we wire the funds up front. He said it was almost entirely refundable, and we trusted the guidebook recommendation, so we sent the money.

I did google them and though few reviews were available the ones I saw had similar complaints. It is a good rule to NEVER wire funds unless you are 100% certain of the people you are dealing with. About 2yrs. ago I got ripped on two plane tickets from a bum named Raj at Maharajah Tours out of NY. He wanted me to wire the money but did accept a CC which was my savior as the fares were refunded d/t his fraud. He kept the money and cancelled the tickets. He also told the carrier, Jet Airways that he had refunded the money. I did fortunately find out B4 it was too late to launch a fraud protest with Visa and when I called Raj, guess what, disconnected! Well liars and cheats gets theirs in spades.
I am curious as to why you waited this long to post this. Usually 1st time posters who open with a vent about something have an axe to grind but your complaints do seem legit. I do think you got ripped off.
Always use a CC whenever possible for your own protection as well as the perks like cash back, ff miles, etc. and if they don't take a cc and insist on a wire transfer walk away.
Report Abuse
In this day and age of credit cards being accepted virtually worldwide, wiring money seems so sketchy. Also, verbal promises carry no weight if you actually have to pursue a claim.
Report Abuse
Quite true Jaya!!
Report Abuse
While it is always better to use a credit card, there are still places that require a wire transfer. Requiring a wire transfer doesn't mean the place is bad news, it just means you have to check it out even more carefully than usual.
Report Abuse
I agree with Kathie. I wired money to a couple of places in India - they were small, one person B&Bs which didn't take credit cards. Both had web sites, one had tripadvisor reviews and the other was recommended by an aquaintance. In both cases it would not have been a disaster to lose the money, although if the accommodation had fallen through I'd have had some difficulty.
Report Abuse
One of the many, many reasons why I take all reviews and recommendations on travel sites with a HUGE grain of salt. The writers for some (not all of course) of them just rely on information they get from other sources, or their friends, or take other shortcuts. Also, companies change owners or management, other circumstances change, and in some cases positive reviews are posted by shills.
I did have to wire funds for a private boat in Halong Bay last year, (Eco Friendly) and was a bit apprehensive. Luckily everything went off without a hitch.
Sorry for your bad luck... I hope you will be able to get something back in future. And hopefully you wrote to Frommers directly about this.

"Unfortunately, an emergency came up and we had to cancel our entire vacation several weeks before we were due to go"
Did you not have trip cancellation insurance?
So John who has paid all his subs for your trip and now has to lose money because you cancelled? I am not sure at all this is the fault of your provider who has many good reviews on the boards also but at least partially your own for not getting tip cover.
Personally I NEVER wire money too risky have seen folks lose thousands. Lots of smaller operators have to pay others if you cancel on short notice. Just like you forfeit at least one hotel night if you cancel a booking.
The lesson might not be to defame a good agent on a public travel forum but perhaps get trip cover and/or pay with credit
car next time. I always do both.

Report Abuse
Thank you for the warning. I too had seen Frommer's recommendation for this agency and thought about them for a bicycle trip in Kerala when that would have been a part of our itinerary.
Quo--I haven't gone back again and looked at their website since the OP's cautions, but it sounds to me as though this is one of those places that probably states X% will be refunded if the booking is cancelled within a certain number of days. And, that is what this person was promised. It is the lack of follow-through on the agency's part that is so maddening.
We just returned from India and had a bad experience with an agency in Haridwar--not so bad as in this case where the clients lost lots of money, but bad enough that it colored our perceptions of the rest of the trip--and we were absolutely fuming and seething when the agency's owner ignored us and wouldn't communicate with us. So, I can certainly understand how the OP is furious and wants to let the rest of the world know to stay away from this agency.
Report Abuse
Julies: Speaking of non-communication I c/p'd below my review of an incident we had at the Mansingh Palace hotel in Ajmer. This is on trip advisor. I sent three emails to the corporate office w/o a single relpy. It seems that once the money is in the pocket all else doesn't matter.
"We had a very suspicious incident regarding some expensive jewelery "disappearing" from my wifes purse in our room while we were gone for 1 hr. for lunch. It happened on the day we were to depart to Delhi. Several staff members including the manager searched our luggage inc. my carry-on bag. This bag was searched about 6 times by 6 different people inc. myself and my wife and the satin sachel with the jewelery was not found here or anywhere. We left for the train shattered by this and certain that we were robbed. Then just about 10 minutes into the ride my wife looked in my bag and mysteriously the sachel was there and in an obvious spot. The hotel manager said with several employees in our room that he would search everyone. I can only conclude that whoever took it from the purse managed to slip it back into my bag due to fear of being caught red handed. As my wife ws emotionally devestated and in tears this could have easily happened. What is most disappointing is that repeated emails to the Mansingh group have gone unanswered for about 2 weeks now."

Wow, I have had the exact same experience with John Thomas of Kerala Adventures. By mistake I wired him $2,600. It was a payment that was suppose to go to another tour company. John Thomas assured me that he would return the money.After numerous emails, he stopped writing back to me. I followed up with a lawyer, the national tourist office, the police and Frommers. The lawyer sent someone out to the offices of Kerala Adventures and found them padlocked. The tourist office wrote to John Thomas and he didn't respond. Frommer's publisher, Wiley, was responsive to my request for assistance. They referred me to the editor of the India tour book, who, despite numerous requests, has not gotten back to me. At least they could take this crook out of the tour book so that other people do not have the same experience!

Frommer's Advises Travellers to Avoid Kerala Adventures:
For more than a decade Brothers Babu & John Thomas of Kerala Adventures ran a reputable tour company, enjoying accreditation from the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India, Association of Tourism Trade Organisation-India (ATTOI), Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), and active membership in Kerala Travel Mart (KTM) and FICCI. Frommer's authors have regularly inspected their services and witnessed years of excellent work, and therefore Kerala Adventures had been recommended in our India guidebook. However, we recently received negative feedback from our readers regarding fraudulent activity, so we investigated and learned that after the publication of our fourth edition Mr John Thomas and his brother Babu parted company under acrimonious conditions. We have observed that the company has gone downhill recently and rather rapidly, and Mr John Thomas has defrauded customers. This is a terrible state of affairs, and we have written to the IATO asking for punitive measures to be taken immediately.
We are currently developing the fifth edition of Frommer's India, and due to the company's degeneration, we will not recommend Kerala Adventures. In the meantime, I am using travel forums to communicate our position so that those planning a trip to India know to stay clear of Kerala Adventures.

For someone living with #depression, talking to a person they trust is often the first step towards treatment & recovery. ~Tweet by WHO.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Depression, as an illness characterised by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that you normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities, for at least two weeks. It is surprising to note that depression is the leading cause of ill – health and disability worldwide.
While there is a perception that feeble minded people suffer from depression and anxiety, it is not so. Depression is an illness that can happen to anybody, at any age, or in any place. People with depression normally have a loss of energy, change in appetite, anxiety, reduced concentration, indecisiveness, restlessness, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness; and thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Fortunately, depression can be prevented and treated.
Here, I present a guest post on this topic written by Sarbani Chowdhury, a Clinical Psychologist with the Indian Air Force. Read on what Sarbani says about depression…

Raymond Depardon, 7x3, An Exhibition of Films
13 November 2004 › 27 February 2005
Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, Addis Ababa, Cairo: seven cities and the desire to film. In response to a commission by the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Raymond Depardon has turned his gaze to these places which he has, for the most part, already photographed. 7x3, An Exhibition of Films is the first exhibition dedicated to Raymond Depardon's films, and presents the simultaneous projection of seven films, all shot in 16mm color and projected digitally.
Echoing these seven films, specially produced for the Fondation Cartier, Raymond Depardon presents excerpts of three films which complete this world tour: Prague, his first film, shot in 1969 at the funeral of Ian Palach, the man who set himself on fire to protest the Soviet occupation; New York, NY (1982), which won the César for best short film in 1986; Paris, Gare Saint-Lazare, an excerpt from his film Paris (1998).
"In these cities, there is perhaps a quest for the ideal city, for the ideal moment. The idea was to detach myself from my experience as a professional photographer, as if I were using my camera for the first time. To do whatever I want. To forget what's happening, to purge. With great freedom… Usually, you're supposed to have a reason to film. Here, I have no reason to film, just a motivation, an urge, a desire. That's where this exhibition originated: in the desire to film." Raymond Depardon, August 23, 2004.

And the Oscar for Most Racist Host Goes to Billy Crystal in Blackface
During the opening sequence of the Oscars on Sunday night a blackface-clad Billy Crystal revived his Sammy Davis Jr. impression.
The worst part is the blackface appearance showed up at the same time Justin Bieber made a surprise cameo—perhaps the only moment during the Oscars that could attract a younger audience.
When Octavia Spencer won supporting actress for "The Help," comedian Paul Scheer tweeted her win "shows just how far we've come since Billy Crystal performed in Blackface."

If it wasn't for the weather stripping, your car would give you a wet and windy ride. Milan Conception develops automated equipment and systems for assembling weather stripping for Ford, GM, Toyota, BMW and other popular vehicles.
Founded in 2007, the Sherbrooke-based company sold its first machine overseas just two years later, to a customer in the Czech Republic.
"We met them through a mutual business contact. Then we visited the company to see for ourselves the technical issues they could not solve with the technologies sold in Europe at the time," says Cyriaque Eyquem, Business Development Manager for Milan. "Now they have two of our machines."
Today, 95 per cent of Milan's business is exports — mainly to South America, Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain), Russia and China.
Common Challenges with automated machinery
Emerging markets in particular pose two common challenges, Eyquem says. "First of all, companies there do not have easy access to spare parts. So we must foresee what types of problems may arise and prepare the necessary parts that may be important in the lifetime of the machine.
"The second problem is that many workers are not used to automated machinery. So we have to stay longer during the installation of our machine and give multiple training sessions to numerous technicians."
As a relatively small company, Milan does not have any offices abroad so far. "We have one sales engineer who travels worldwide and knows our industry very well," says Eyquem. "Once he meets with a potential customer, he can right away offer customized technical solutions to help with their production requirements."
This kind of innovation and customer attention has helped keep Milan growing globally in its specialized segment of the automotive sector.
For example, the company's clip-insertion machine is the fastest and most accurate on the market to install the plastic clips in rubber extrusion, which hold the weather stripping in place on your car. Last August the company received a U.S. patent for its high-speed technology.
"Our machine is also easy to use and versatile; our customers can easily put multiple types of weather strips in it," says Eyquem. "They save a lot of money as they do not have to buy a different machine for each new car program, which may be the case with our competition." These advantages have helped Milan and its customers overcome the difficult economic situation.
Important Guarantees
To continue developing new markets, Eyquem says "our customers always require bank guaranties. They want to be sure the down payment they put towards the manufacture of a new machine is used properly. Our bank does not take the risk for these kinds of requests, and this is how we connected with Export Development Canada (EDC) — to help us with bank guaranties on machinery contracts and performance. Otherwise we could not have exported."
Export Tips from Milan
- Don't be afraid of making mistakes as long as you correct them in a timely manner.
- Be open to different ways of thinking. A little diplomacy helps solve problems, whether technical, international transport, or customs issues.
- Have effective after sales service, 24 hours a day, with easy internet connections to the machines.
- Stay close to your customers, as they will guide you through their own geopolitical challenges.
- Do not hesitate to export, especially if you sell value added goods, and be extremely proactive and patient.

You are free to worship however or whoever you want inside of your church building.
For now.
But when you step outside into the real world, your worship must be approved by us.
That's essentially what the government is saying in their fight against Hobby Lobby. The president and other supporters of Obamacare do not have a problem if the owners of Hobby Lobby, or any other business, attend a church that opposes abortion. For now. But what they do care about is those beliefs finding their way outside of the sanctuary and into day to day life. Which leads to President Obama's stance on religious freedom which can be summarized as follows.
You belong to us on Monday through Saturday. God can have you on Sunday. For now.
For true Christians, no matter what the Supreme Court decides in the Hobby Lobby case, we must obey God rather than man (Acts 5:29). Following Jesus was never meant to be confined to one day a week inside the walls of some church building. One of the main points of the New Testament book of James is that faith, if it is genuine, will be lived out. Truly saving faith impacts every aspect of a believer's life from how he treats his wife to where he chooses to direct his money.
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? James 2:14 (ESV)
Take a moment to imagine what the world would look like if every Christian in the United States complied with the federal government's command that believers restrict their faith from their Monday through Saturday lives.
There would be no love. Love wasn't invented by the government. God created it. And if you had to sum up all of his commandments with one word, that would be it. Love (Mark 12:28-34). Love God. Love others. Should those Christian churches which demonstrate the love of Christ by caring for the homeless cease and desist? After all, giving a sandwich to a homeless man is a supreme act of Christlikeness (Matthew 25:31-46). It is religious activity.
But if we are to submit to the demands of our federal government, that homeless man will just have to wait until Sunday. Let's hope that he can find his way inside a church building that will care for him. We wouldn't want such Christlike kindness seeping outside of the church building now would we? Maybe the homeless man could just wait for the government to take care of him. I'm sure he'll be fine considering the government's solid track record during its war on poverty.
What about orphans? The government did not invent orphan care. They may have done their share to create orphans but not orphan care. Caring for orphans is a religious activity. You could even say that it is the religious activity.
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:27 (ESV)
I'm sure that the orphans around the world would love it if the Church cut all the compassion back to one day a week. Not to worry, orphans. Child Protective Services has got your back. Help is on the way. Sometime next month. If the federal grants come through.
No government would ever tell a church to stop helping homeless people and orphans. Not directly at least. That's because they realize that they need our help. And that's where we see government's great contradiction in the religious liberty debate. If a 9th grader wants to start a Bible study on his school campus, he has to do it in the woods behind the building between the hours of 3:15 and 4:15 a.m. We just can't go mixing government and religion. Until election day. In that case, the government would love to use your church building as a polling location.
Christians should not adopt a That-Will-Show-Them attitude and stop ministering to the homeless and orphans to spite the government.
But at the same time, we must not submit to a government that tells us to render unto Caesar the things that actually belong to Christ. What that means is that when the government tells us to stop living out our faith, we must keep on going as Christ, our Higher Authority, told us to.
It may cost us our business.
It may cost us our reputation.
It may even cost us our lives.
But for those who refuse to restrict their faith into a tiny corner of their lives, the losses endured on this earth pale in comparison to the crown that awaits us.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (ESV)

The UN Security Council has responded inconsistently to crises in which civilians are at risk, acting in some cases but doing nothing in others, a new Oxfam report said Monday.
"In some cases where civilians were under threat, the UNSC acted, whereas in other contexts in did very little or nothing," said the report from the rights group.
Certain countries, such as Somalia, Sudan, Ivory Coast and Afghanistan, were on the council's agenda throughout last year and it passed resolutions including some referring to the protection of civilians, it said.
But Oxfam listed a string of other countries where they deemed that civilians were under threat, but over which the Security Council failed to take appropriate action.
Colombia, where some 280,000 people were displaced due to internal conflict last year, failed to register, and no formal action was taken over the ethnic conflict which killed hundreds in Kyrgyzstan, Oxfam said.
India, Thailand, the Philippines and Turkey were not on the council's agenda despite ongoing conflicts, said the Oxfam report, entitled "Protection of Civilians in 2010: Facts, Figures and the UN Security Council's Response."
The rights group said the Council's 15 member states were hampered in their decision-making by domestic policy considerations, media pressure and a lack of access to information.
"This combination of sometimes competing demands and patchy information too often results in actions that vary greatly between one crisis and another," the report said.
It concluded: "Ultimately, the UNSC must adopt a more consistent approach to protecting civilians in armed conflict, regardless of whether countries are on or off the agenda."
The Security Council has five permanent members with veto power over resolutions and 10 non-permanent members.

sort by best latest
To clarify this question further I'd say it's more in the meanings of the words.
'On' basically means to be on something to put simply "above" or "amongst". It also gives ownership to something in a sense (the house is ON fire, the painting ON the wall).
It also implies continuation (to go on and on)
Whereas 'in' means more "to be inside" so you're IN a group, or IN control. It can also desribe what you are using to get a message across ("I wrote it IN ink").
Trouble COULD arise when you read that someone is 'on' a jury or council, and yet they are IN an organisation. In this case 'in' is more to be within something and 'on' is more to be a part of something.
Also if you have basic English knowledge your ear may be able to pick up which sounds more appropriate!
Hope I helped! Ty for the question!

Three men were seriously injured after they were attacked for honking at two stalled cars in Jalan Genting Klang here. The incident occured at 5.30am yesterday when the victims, who were in a lorry, noticed a BMW and a Toyota Alphard moving haphazardly before stopping in the middle of the road.
Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Zakaria Pagan said the lorry driver decided to honk at the two cars to the chagrin of the drivers who stormed out of their vehicles.
The lorry driver sped off but the two cars caught up with the vehicle at a traffic light near Danau Kota. Ten suspects then alighted from the two cars and assaulted the three men with knives and wooden bats.
ACP Zakaria said the victims, who sustained injuries to their head, hands and legs, were sent to a nearby clinic by some passers-by.
The trio, aged between 25 and 48 years, were later transferred to Hospital Kuala Lumpur because of their serious condition.
He urged those with information to contact the nearest police station.

Access to justice and costs rules
The Court of Appeal has given important new guidance on the use of "protective costs orders" designed to protect applicants for judicial review in cases of public importance from having to pay the other side's costs should they lose. The case concerned financial support and guarantees for exporters provided by the Department of Trade and Industry, but the guidelines set out by the Court of Appeal have general application, and are likely to be especially significant in the environmental field.

Otavalo and Beyond
Totally by coincidence, one of Troy's friends from Los Angeles was staying in Quito for a week during the same time as his visit. We hung out with Josh on Troy's first evening in Cusco, got along well, so decided that we should all take a day trip to the market town of Otavalo, and possiblly to La Mitad del Mundo (The Center of the World, on the equator) the following day. The day began at Budget Car rental. Troy, Magda and I pulled our paired down backpacks across town to meet Josh, who we found reclining in one of Budget's many comfortable chairs. Magda and I checked in and recieved the cheap car we'd found a deal on online, something Chevy made called a "Spark", which was code for miniscule. With three men over 6 feet tall and Magda, we stood around the little blue vehicle, dwarfing it, wondering how to fit our large packs inside as well as ourselves. With some Jenga like manipulation and a little brute force, we crammed in the packs and managed to squeeze shut the hatchback. Afterwards it was just a matter of folding legs and tucking knees under chins like an absurd gringo clown car.
With Magda giving direction and myselt at the wheel, we labored up to the edge of the Quito valley and then rolled easily on the Pan American highway through the pass beyond. The car operated fine unless it was heading uphill. We did hear a slight humming coming from one of the tires but we marked that up to the smooth black asphalt that carpeted Ecuador's surprisingly high quality highways. On the uphill stretches the usual fleet of insane drivers passed us on blind curves or with trucks marked "Peligroso" (dangerous) barreling towards us in the oncoming lane. Sometimes it was a Peligroso truck doing the passing, and explosion on impact immenent with its oncoming twin. Once we got stuck behind a truck full of construction workers. They sat in the back, legs dangling over the edge, snickering at the little blue hatchback stuffed with blancos. One of them casually ate an apple and heaved the core over his shoulder. Right about then, one of their hats flew off, utterly demolishing their cool facades.
In the little town of Otavalo, the market was a bust. It had become such a tourist destination that the crafts were almost entirely souvenir quality items, some with 'Ecuador' stitched across them in case you needed help remembering where it came from. I feel if a genuine article feels the need to declare its origin so boldly, it should probably remain in that place of origin. They did however have some fine, cheap, Panama hats which I negotiated the price of far below where I'd seen it thus far. The look on the vendors face told us he'd still made a hefty profit. He even put it in a wooden box wrapped with a piece of ribbon woven with the Ecuadorian flag. We ate a large lunch and then started back to the Pan Americana. The night before, Magda and I had done some calculations. We were not going to make it to Otavalo, and then the Middle of the Earth, and then drop Josh off, and then find a place to stay south of the Quito before sunset. Like in any good horror movie, it isn't wise to drive in South America after dark – but like a handful of buxom college students, it seemed we were going to do it anyway.
One thing we noticed about the little market town was that the Andean fashions were back, if a little subdued still. Ladies wore a sort of Eastern European style blouse, long red skirts and a lovely arrangements of golden necklaces tied tightly at their throats. We didn't see this in person, but we saw several paintings of women wearing the same fashions along with a white dish shape hat that would have changed little from Incan times. I kept an eye our for this hat, hoping it wouldn't have the country's new name embroidered across it.
Back on the Pan American highway headed south again, our little democracy voted to skip the Middle of the World and stop by Ecuador's largest pre-Incan ruin. Cochasqui should have been just off the road by our calculations, but after we turned the car up a gravel drive and bumped over bread-loaf sized rocks for a while we began to worry. The sign for the park said it closed at 4:30. The sign on the road said it closed at 4. Our guidebooks said it closed at 5. When we did finally arrive, at 4:20, the parking lot was desolate. We skidded the little blue Chevy to a stop and all spilled out. The car alarm had a habit of going off whenever things got exciting, so I stayed behind madly pressing buttons on a keychain while Magda ran ahead to sweet-talk our way in. Josh and Troy stood shoulder to shoulder doing some sort of stand-up routine, looking out at an audience of haze shrouded mountains.
The guard at the door told us the park was closed, or more precisely, nearly closed. Ok it was open, but we didn't have time for the tour, and we had to take the tour. We asked if we couldn't just poke our heads over the wall to see some of the fabled pyramids of the Quito people, but the guard sadly shook his head, we needed a guide. There simply wasn't time. Magda persisted. Finally he left to ask the lone park employee if he might give a final, lightening fast tour. As we waited, a police car rolled up, lights flashing as is the norm. There remains a small, terrified part of me that actually believes these lights mean something, and I pictured ourselves hauled off for harassing the watchman. When he returned though he found us chatting and laughing with a police escort. The three officers suddenly seemed interested in taking the tour themselves. Soon we were on a rapidly given tour of the museum, where the guide rattled off facts and figures in Spanish. Troy probably understood all of it. Magda understood most of it, the look on my face told the man I was following along very well, though I was quiet lost, and Josh nodded sagely. The police officers touched things they weren't supposed to.
When the tour ended, the museum guide mysteriously disappeared, but not before telling the guard he should let us in to the complex for a quick look. So he led the four of us, and three yellow clad police officers through the main gate, grumbling under his breath. We hiked up an unpaved path to the top of the first pyramid and gazed out over a breathtaking view. Directly below us were trapezoidal mounds of earth, the 14 other pyramids of the complex. Each was a different size, only one was larger than where we stood. All were identically shaped and all were completely unexcavated. Long lightly graded ramps, built for processions, ran down from the north side of each pile of earth. In the distance, the Andes reflected back a late afternoon light, the deep valleys between them already dark with gloom. The policemen took pictures of themselves making funny faces.
Seeing that we were fascinated with the ruins, the watchman started warming up. What at first began as an unwelcome interruption in his day became its highlight. Soon he was giving us a full blown tour, describing the various digs and the treasures they'd yielded. He'd worked at the site for 32 years and hadn't seen a lot done to excavate or preserve the site, which we all thought was a shame. A small section of one of the larger pyramids had been cleared to reveal complex astronomical instruments, and fine stonemasonry below. The policemen got bored and stayed behind on top of one of the pyramids while we explored the rest of the site. Llamas grazed the grown over ruins. We finished by walking up a processional ramp to the top of the pyramid closest to the gate. Like later Andean cultures, Cochasqui was situated to revel in the splendor of the surrounding landscape. Low mountains surrounded the site like a pantheon.
After thanking the now cheerful and hospitable watchman, we filled up the car again with bodies and started back down the gravel road. On Josh's GPS we tried to pinpoint the equator, which we had been jumping back and forth across all day. Because of the windy road, and lack of places to pull over, we never quite found it though we'd clearly skipped back and forth from the Southern to the Northern Hemispheres several times.
The sun was low when we pulled into Quito and prepared to deal with it's diobolical rush-hour. Soon we were mired in a dense stack of vehicles, our powerless little car adrift in an early evening tide. We slogged through with only a few near misses, dropped Josh off in the center of town with a flurry of handshakes and quick goodbyes, and continued south, back into the exodus from the other end of the city. In darkness now, we battled baffling roadsigns and bumper-to-bumper traffic. My clutch foot was getting sore, and I felt my blood sugar dropping quickly. With Magda navigating, we broke free and drove through Quito's suburbs until forced by sheer fatigue to pull over at a road side restaurant called "Pollo Gigante", where not so gigante portions of pollo were being served in a room reminescnet of an ill-fucntioning hospital cafeteria. Decor aside, it was a relief and I felt the energy pouring back into every cell as we ate.
The plan was simple from that point on. We'd find a place to stay and sleep. Weariness had snuck up on me like a virus and we agreed that we should stop in the small town of Machachi that according to the guidebook had a few good sleeping options. Within minutes we were rolling through empty streets, squinting at street corners, looking for signs that didn't exist. Next to where we thought the hotel we were looking for should be was a decrepit pile of cinder blocks that looked to be held together by mold. My heart sank a little deeper, and I started the calculation I sometimes do when deciding that a night's miserable sleep is better than none at all. The building looked closed for the night, in not for forever, and our hopes were further dashed. We backtracked and took a left turn hoping we'd misread the directions, and there, in the middle of the same block, was a cozy looking hacienda with some lights on inside and a flickering television in one room. It was hard not to immediately imagine falling asleep in a cozy, colonial inspired room in front of that T.V. Magda got out to ring the bell and ask if there were any vacancies. No one answered. she rang again. We waited. There was no movemement in the house, no opening of doors. The light from the TV continued to flicker behind the windowshade like a cozy blue flame, but no one came.
Desperate, we returned to the neat little town square where we'd seen an internet shop with some phone booths. Magda and Troy got out to call the hotel, hoping someone would pick up and we'd all laugh about how their doorbell didn't work. But no one answered the phone. They gave up and called the next hotel in the guidebook but that number had been disconnected. Getting desperate we returned to the hacienda, hoping something had changed, but all was the same, all was quiet. We found the location of the other hotel and rang its bell. A bizarre girl who seemed to be high on something told Troy there were no rooms with a disconcerting half-smile. We returned to the internet cafe, and I parked behind another car and waited for them to call more options in the guidebook. As they dialed, a number of sketchy characters lurked past on the steadily emptying streets. While fiddling with my key fob, trying to once again disarm the automated alarm, I notice someone in the back seat of the car in front of me. He had his head turned backwards and seemed to be involved with another activity while gazing at me with vacant eyes. I shuddered and waited for Troy and Magda. When they didn't come out, I circled the block and parked in another spot.
Finally they'd gotten hold of another hotel, thankfully outside of this god-forsaken town. We joked that there would no longer be any actual way out of Machachi and we'd keep driving through the town center, past the trembling backseat passenger for the rest of our lives. Fortunately though we could and did leave. Down the highway some ways we found a narrow dirt track that scraped the bottom of our little Chevy as we rolled cautiously up it. Waiting at the top was another old hacienda with adobe walls and twinkling warm lights. One of the employees was waiting for us in the still crisp evening air. He showed us to exactly the sort of cozy room I'd been picturing, and after accidentally setting the car alarm off once more, we drank a large beer, recapped the day, and fell into a deep, deep sleep.

Location, location, location
Launching your own business on 57th street isn't an easy feat. The main question, as anyone knows, is location. Requirements we had for laser hair removal business' location were simple – lots of commercial buildings around, diverse population, close proximity to subway station with multiple routes. For Manhattan this part was easy. The owner of the business spent quite a few years working (as employee) in various locations – midtown, SoHo, Chelsea, so she knew where to start looking. It only took us two weeks roaming around these areas of Manhattan searching for a suitable place to start coming up with reasonable possibilities. We had found a few spots with almost same rent in Chelsea and Downtown. However, almost at the last moment, a new possibility presented itself.
The last place she was working at was in a building on 57th street, right across from Carnegie Hall. That business was closed by the owner, so the office was available. Sort of. The landlord who managed that space was notorious for creating problems for tenants so there was little desire to rent something from that person. Few months later it became known around the building that she managed to collect the rent for a few months without making her own payments up the chain and one day just dashed out.
Rumor had it other spaces were available around in the same building as other tenants of that landlord were looking to move within the building. Turned out the space was available on a different floor in the same building, although the rent was 30% higher. Time for decision – should she rent in a familiar place, but at higher price or new place at a lower price.
Arguments for lower rent spots were pretty obvious – since we were starting a brand new business it didn't really matter much which place to open at, but a higher expense every month was an issue for a new business. The more expensive location had the benefits of familiarity and there was always a possibility of seeing some familiar client faces should they decide to return. Besides, the previous business owner sort of just got up and left one day, so there was a number of clients in the middle of their treatments left unfinished. There was always a possibility to migrate them to new business even at a discount. A huge argument against the old spot was that there was a huge skin care spa on the same floor. Occupying half the floor with beautiful reception desk and cute girls working there.
After three days of deliberation we decided on the old place. Despite the higher rent, despite the huge skin care spa across the hall – pretty much despite the reason and common sense. We just decided that with so much competition in midtown Manhattan running away from expensive spa on the same floor didn't make any sense. We'd rather stick it into their faces that we were going to be there and we will have our piece of the pie. So we settled there, paid our deposit and filed our insurance for that address.

Another problem is that everything is very slow , and it always appears eror and when it is charging your cell phone constantly hear the notification to connect to the mobile power. what can i doo to make it better :S

The SLC6A1 gene encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter, which removes GABA from the synaptic cleft (Hirunsatit et al., 2009.
Results demonstrated that GAT-1-/- mice have phenotypes of hyperactivity, impaired sustained attention and learning deficiency, and the performance of GAT-1-/- mice is similar to ADHD symptoms.
Results suggest that the excessive GAT-1 and GlyT-1 (show GLYT1 ELISA Kits)/2 heterotransporter-mediated Glu (show GCG ELISA Kits) release, in the spinal cord of SOD1 (show SOD1 ELISA Kits)(G93A) mice, is due to the heterotransporter over-expression at the nerve terminal membrane, promoted by the excessive Glu (show GCG ELISA Kits) exocytosis
Results demonstrate that high-affinity activation by GABA of GAT1 transporters provokes release of [3H]GABA from nerve terminals by different mechanisms
these data show that during paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain there is significant increase in GAT-1 expression in the ACC. GAT-1 is the main transporter of GABA from the synapse
Development of GABA-removal system and its relationship to development of GABAergic networks studied by examination of changes in GAT-1 and GAT-3 expression and localization in embryonic and postnatal mouse spinal cord
GAT1 plays a critical role in the regulation of rapid eye movement (REM (show REM1 ELISA Kits)) sleep and homeostasis of non-REM (show REM1 ELISA Kits) sleep.
results suggest that GAT1 ko mouse is a new animal model for ADHD studying and GAT1 may be a new target to treat ADHD
We failed to provide proof-of-concept evidence that lower PV and GAT1 expression in schizophrenia are a consequence of lower GAD67 (show GAD1 ELISA Kits) expression
Results suggest that a moderate reduction in GAT1 activity causes the enhancement of learning and memory in mice.
the terminal sialic acid of N-linked oligosaccharides of GAT1 plays a crucial role in the gamma aminobutyric acid transport process
the "extra" residue in transmembrane domain 10 of the GABA transporter GAT-1 provides extra bulk, probably in the form of a pi-helix, which is required for stringent gating and tight coupling of ion and substrate fluxes in the GABA transporter family.
Results show that SLC6A1 minor genotypes/alleles were protective against risk for alcoholism in 3 ethnically diverse cohorts.
Genome-wide significant associations were highly biological plausible, including associations within GABA transporter 1, SLC6A1 (solute carrier family 6, member 1), and exonic hits in LOC100129340 (mitofusin-1 (show MFN1 ELISA Kits)-like
targeted resequencing of 644 individuals with epileptic encephalopathies led to the identification of six SLC6A1 mutations in seven individuals, all of whom have epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (MAE).
3p25.3 microdeletion of GABA transporters SLC6A1 and SLC6A11 results in intellectual disability, epilepsy and stereotypic behavior.

text: I think there's a belief that after a good play date with a bull that there's some kind of magical serenity that occurs after the bull leaves. There is not. I feel content and satisfied afterword but I also feel drained and completely exhausted. The sex was terrific but there's a toll. 1. There's the after cramping which doesn't always happen but if the bull was very well packaged it does. 2. Bruises and red eyes.Bumps and bruises are a common occurrence. If your bulls a slapper (Ass or legs) he's going to leave his mark. While I completely LOVE a great spanker...it can look pretty rough back there for weeks. Your also going to get your bulls cum in your eyes. Watch as much porn as you like but when my bulls come gets in my eyes it burns and hurts for days. Maybe I have sensitive eyes but for days afterward I'm constantly using eyewash solution. 3. Torn clothes. I've walked through more than my share of hotel lobbies not wearing underwear or holding my stockings and shoes on my way to my car. Not in a sexy naughty way but more because they're no longer functional clothing. 4. Calling into work/going to work tired. Depending when my bull called or came over, that next day of work always suffers. I'm cranky, I'm sore and I just want to take a hot shower and a nap. Sadly, if I think I wont be able to go home before work I bring another outfit to change into wherever I can. I have changed from club wear to professional dress in a majority of the icky bathrooms in this city. If he was really insistent I might have to just call in sick. 5. The emotion roller coaster. For the next three days my emotions run from exhilaration to feeling really slutty to mild to irritated to horny back to exhilaration. It was worse in my twenties but it's still an issue that arrives every time. 6. Cost. Ok so this is understandable sense I always host but when Bank of America sends me my yearly report in pie graph form showing my "lodging expense" I am astonished! 7. I can't tell my vanilla girlfriends. These are wonderful people. Our kids play together, they're at our church and many if them are true and meaningful friends. If they knew about my lifestyle however they'd never speak to me again. The level of low grade to out in the open racism is astonishing. These people do not like any race outside of Caucasian. This is why I have to rely so heavily upon my lifestyle sisters because literally only they understand. 8. I'm not always there for my husband. It was harder for us in the first years. Stephen has always supported my lifestyle but there have been birthdays, business dinners and social events that I couldn't attend with him because I was at a club with my bull and his crew. He's never said it but I know he's been let down by me a few times. 9. Every black man instantly becomes a "possible". I'm always looking for a good bull. I like young bulls at the local college nearby, I like the well dressed hot studs down in my husbands business district, I like the big meaty bulls in construction crews and I like old experienced bulls with grey hair. I haven't had a genuine conversation with a black man without flirting or touching him inappropriately since 2001. This has had bad outcomes. I've been threatened, had hands swiped away and been made to feel uncomfortable by black men who just didn't want to be harassed or were married or whatever. 10. Finally, I find the effects, costs of being who I am a huge turn on. Be it paying the room bill or having to buy underwear on my lunch hour because my bull ripped my other pair the night before, I am sexually excited the entire time. This lifestyle, the bulls I'm with and my husband is just that good and it's totally worth it. And while the fantasy played out in many peoples minds of perfection is way off the mark, it's not anything I'd ever be willing to give up. Thanks for reading, Sara

text: finally got my droid x today. verizon was correct it did ship by the 23. it shipped on the 23rd and I had to today. anyhow I realize these may be obvious to some people but I have yet to find it. This is my 1st venture with android. 1. Can I use the txt message icon/function and still go through google voice? I already set google voice as my default txt messaging app. But I am not sure. when I compose by going to my contact and hitting txt icon. I can see the little google voice logo. to the left of "compose" but when I hit the default txt message icon and select my contact. There's no logo to be found. I just get the contact name in the To box. 2. For POP3 mail, the "never delete email" is that meant for never delete on phone or never delete off mail server? I'm assuming never delete off mail server but I want to be sure. 3. is there any way to turn off the wifi and 3g data but leave on the voice. Airplane mode just turns off everything. and allows me to turn on wifi(which is great in 2 years when I can switch to another phone and maybe just use the droid x as a pda or something) 4. Flash or rather flash lite? Does it come by default? Or am I thinking 2.2? I swear when I was at the verizon store playing with their demo I was able to load up speakeasy.net or even speedtest.net. But when I'm doing it says I don't have flash. That's all. Any help will do.
