I had the lovely adventure of going to Sweden earlier in July to stay with Champis' humans, the delightful Paula Lundberg and Dan Westman. I met Champis, his chicken companions, three audacious (s there any other kind?) border collies, a small flock of Rya sheep and three geese who really were quite vocal in their opinion of the American visitor.
I have to admit, I could not get a picture of Champis with any sort of disapproval on his sweet bunny face. He is in absolute paradise at Gårdsbacken, in Northern Sweden.
Not actually being owned by a bun, but being a fan of Disapproving Rabbits (and awestruck at the cleverness of the followers), big little Champis is as close as I get to bunny love.

Meeting scheduled for June 19
By AMANDA SCOTT
Staff writer
Beginning next week, citizens have an opportunity to submit comments to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regarding foreign ownership of nuclear power plants.
On June 19, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., either at the Rockville headquarters or during a teleconference call, the public can comment on issues related to foreign ownership, control and domination of commercial nuclear power plants.
"In recent years, a number of licensing actions before the NRC have involved complex issues of foreign ownership, control and domination. This is likely due to the high increased globalization of the electric power industry and complexity of corporate structures generally," an NRC press release about the public comment meeting stated.
The Atomic Energy Act and NRC regulations do not permit any applicant for a U.S. nuclear power plant operating license to be owned, controlled or dominated by a foreign nation, corporation or government.
In March, the five-member presidentially-appointed commission that oversees the NRC directed NRC staff to prepare an assessment of foreign ownership issues and propose any changes to guidance or practice that may be needed. As part of the review, the commission directed staff to "obtain stakeholder views" and then present the material to the commission no later than Dec. 31, 2013, the March memo to NRC staff said.
The decision for the assessment came after the five-member commission denied UniStar Nuclear Energy LLC's application for Calvert Cliffs Unit 3 because of its failure to meet NRC foreign ownership requirements for U.S. power reactors. UniStar was bought out by Electricite de France in November 2010, resulting in 100-percent French ownership, and has been unable to partner with a U.S. company.
According to the NRC press release, no specific changes to guidance or regulation on foreign ownership are under consideration at this time. Currently, the press release said, staff is just requesting public comment with specific questions about the extent of indirect foreign ownership that should be allowed.
The public meeting will be held in the Commission Hearing Room, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Md. To participate in the meeting via a toll-free teleconference, call 888-942-8512; the pass code is 65845#.
Written comments will be accepted through Aug. 2 and can be submitted online at www.regulations.gov using docket ID NRC-2013-0107, or by mail to Cindy Bladey, Chief, Rules, Announcements and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, Mail Stop: TWB-05-B01M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 20555-0001.

Make something special for that special somone! Making Valentine's cards can be fun and easy. Here are directions to make it environmentally friendly as well. This is one way to make this Valentine's Day unique by using everyday items that can be found around your house.
3-D Recycled Valentine Day Cards
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter
- Bowl of water
- Old newspaper or leftover tissue paper
- Glue wash (equal parts glue and water)
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- An old greeting card
- A clean plate
1. Tear newspaper or tissue paper into small pieces. Place the cookie cutter on the plate. Making sure each piece overlaps, position a few pieces of the paper inside the cookie cutter to create a thin layer. Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and then press it gently on the paper layer, making the paper damp. Continue layering, dipping, and pressing until the cookie cutter is about half full. Let it dry for at least a day.
2. When the paper mold is completely dry, gently press down on the mold and carefully lift off the cookie cutter. Using a clean paintbrush, apply a light coat of glue wash to the mold. As it dries, move on to step three.
3. Cover an old greeting card with things from around the house, such as construction paper, magazines, newspapers, or doilies. Write a poem or message inside the card and then glue the 3-D heart to the front. Now you're ready to give this Earth-friendly valentine to someone you love!

Located in the Barrio Norte of affluent Recoleta, the NYU-BA Academic Center is a 15-minute walk from student housing, and only a block from the Avenida Santa Fé, a busy avenue lined by shops, restaurants, and banks. The subway system of Buenos Aires, El Subte, is efficient and easy to use, with the closest station only a few blocks away.
The Center is housed in an architecturally stunning, Tudor-style building that was most recently home to the Angolan Embassy. All classrooms and administrative offices are located here, along with a small reading room, a computer lab, a lounge equipped with wireless Internet, and a dining area with a kitchenette.
All classes at NYU-BA are held in the Center. Each of the five classrooms features a computer and a projector. The computer lab contains thirteen Apple iMac computers, two printers and a scanner, while the library offers you the chance to study silently and comfortably, surrounded by Argentina's most important historical and literary works.
Between classes, you can relax in the lounge, seated on couches facing a beautifully crafted fireplace, and read copies of local publications like La Nación, Clarín, Lugares, and The Rolling Stone. If hungry, you can heat up delicious empanadas in the adjoining kitchenette; if you want to use the Internet to email friends and family, the computer lab is always available.
In the surrounding neighborhood, you will find shops for your every need, inexpensive cafes, and a number of remarkable bookstores like El Ateneo, a Buenos Aires landmark located in a restored 20th century theatre that's just a short bus ride from the Center.
Whether you go to study or just to relax, the sprawling green parks of nearby Palermo offer you the perfect opportunity to enjoy Buenos Aires' pleasant weather.

Noteworthy Jams: Run Like an Antelope
Average Song Gap: 5.32
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: Trey teased Call to the Post before My Friend and Antelope before Horn. This show was the beginning of the Band/Audience Chess Match that continued throughout the fall tour. Page and a tour-head named "Pooh" played a few moves to set up the board during the White Rabbit jam in the first set. Suspicious Minds made its Phish debut. I'm Blue I'm Lonesome was dedicated to Jerry Garcia and was acoustic.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1995 Fall Tour."
The second set begins with 3 well-played songs, and the Scent of a Mule in the middle of the set features some significant improvisation. Mike's Song is average, but the segue into Keyboard Army is pretty good, and Weekapaug ends with another segue into the debut of Suspicious Minds.
This show comes off as completely average in just about every way, but it is not a bad show. 3 stars for sure.

Did some online looking at the portable band saw market. Mid $100 up to Low $300. May have missed a few, but those I found that had a table were limited to 90* cuts. Any miter cuts would have to be done freehand. Then, I ran across the Griz 0622 at $298.25 delivered. That's real competitive and looks like it'll do everything I want so I hotfooted back to here to see if any of you guys knew anything about it. And, whaddayaknow!
To avoid making a long story even longer, I just pulled the trigger on the Grizzly! Maybe I'll save enough in files to pay for the saw - not to mention the savings in scrap or the time spent filing the cuts square and/or to the proper angle. Probably won't help my bird poop welds, but that's another story...
Never buy anything with moving parts from harbor freight unless it's expendable
Thanks a bunch, guys!Tom Veatch

Here is a pic of my band saw. Love it and would never give it up for a chop saw or cold saw. Harbour frieght carry one just like it for around 799.00. Great saw as you can see in the picture I cut 10 hours sold for 2 days dry cutting to avoid oil on the material for easyer welding and the blade is still going.Little Fabrication

Chop saw vs. bandsaw
Chop saw or bandsaw. Bear with me. IMNSHO it depends entirely on your requirements. I bought a DeWalt 871 chop saw earlier this month. I would love to have a bandsaw, too, but can't justify one. Not just the price, but the space requirements. My "shops" are both small and are just for storage. One shop is on wheels so it can be moved from job to job and I bring it home home each night for security reasons. That shop is a 1-ton van. My other shop is a storage building in my back yard that is about 8X12. It is basically a rain-proof place to sitck my stuff under lock and key when I'm not using it on my driveway. Stuff gets moved regularly back and forth between the two depending on the job I am going to do.
Having considered that, I bought the chop saw. I purchased the D871 because it has the D-handle and the bigger (5+) horsepower. The one I bought came with a free DeWalt 4-1/2" grinder (which I needed). All together, it was a little over $200 including shipping. I love it. I've had no problem making square cuts. The fence is adjustable (without tools) and squares up easily with my small speed square.
If I had the space and the dough I would have a nice bandsaw, but I don't. so I bought the DeWalt. Hope this helps.

"A professional knows what to do. A craftsman knows why."
I'd just about decided on a DeWalt D28715 after my trip to Lowes last night. It seems to be very similar to the 871 and also included a 4 1/2 grinder in the $229 price. But I've already got 2 grinders that size and the Griz bandsaw delivered was close enough to that price. I'll just have to find or make room for the saw's footprint.
I think the problem with the HF chopsaw is the base. Too flimsy, warped, no convenient way to square the blade to the table. It seems powerful enough and cuts well with a good blade. When I get some other stuff out of the way, I may just try to build another base for it. Might be a pretty decent saw with a good base.Tom Veatch

The green ones are crap, the red ones are the same as the Grizzly & other copies. The problem with the HF machines are they're very weak motors. They tend to have little power output & burn up. You'll use it afew times, then walk away during a cut only to come back with a melted gearbox/motor housing, a burned out motor & junk all in the gear oil.
It's critical that you replace the junk oil with some quality oil. I think on the HF's it's like a 140 weight gear oil, but anything atleast mid-quality will be better than whatever mess they ship it with. Nasty!

In the spirit of the OP, I'll give my experience. I bought the Ridgid chop saw from HD, and hated it. "Toolless" clamp was worthless and broke on first job. I replaced it as soon as convenient with the DeWalt I had wanted the first time. Very happy with it.
stick with a bandsaw, you wont regret it. provided the bandsaw is a decent one.
Note: I spent almost 500.00 dollars on chop saw blades in a year then spent 150.00 on bandsaw blades the next year and cut allot more steel. You may not cut that much but you can still save allot of money on blades.Little Fabrication

Recipe by Perri Pender
"This is one of my favorite soups and it always gets rave reviews! Salad, hard rolls and wine make a meal! You can make this 24 hours ahead of time without the noodles and wait to add the spinach noodles until soup is reheated for serving. Yummy! Serve topped with grated Parmesan!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 pounds
sweet Italian sausage
2 cloves
garlic, minced
2 small
onions, chopped
2 (16 ounce) cans
whole peeled tomatoes
1 1/4 cups
dry red wine
5 cups
beef broth
1/2 teaspoon
dried basil
1/2 teaspoon
dried oregano
zucchini, sliced
green bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) package
spinach fettuccine pasta
salt and pepper to taste
This is gooood!!! Most of the people on here that said it wasn't good substituted ingredients. I did have to use a different pasta... but still used spinach pasta, just a different noodle. It turned out great. Thank you Perri for your recipe.
Italian vegetable soups (minestrone) lend themselves well to preparing with, and making use of, whatever vegetables you have on hand. Given Hubs and I are returning to Italy in a couple of days, this was very appropriate in more ways than just its name! In keeping with the utilitarian aspect of Italian soups I was lucky not to have to buy anything from the grocery store as I had zucchini, green peppers and fresh parsley in my garden. I also had Swiss chard, which was a fine addition. I removed the sausage from the casings and used a little less wine. This is hearty and flavorful and now that it's prepared it will be a cinch to serve (again) with minimal clean-up whenever we are ready to sit down and eat. But I do have some criticisms of the recipe if prepared as written. First, using whole peeled tomatoes without crushing or chopping them wouldn't work well. I don't think you'd want or like a whole tomato (or two or three) in your soup bowl. Second, a pound of pasta is a LOT of pasta for this. Half that is plenty. And fettuccine is not a good choice for soup. I prepared this on the stove-top rather than the slow cooker, simmering for about an hour, then adding the zucchini the last 10 minutes, and finally the cooked pasta (I used shells and elbows to use up small amounts I had left of both) after that. Last but certainly not least, be sure to sprinkle your bowl of soup with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

This soup is unbelievable. I'm not a big soup fan, but it sounded like it'd be different and tasty - and it is. My 10 and 11 year olds had seconds and thirds (they didn't care for the zucchini - but they're kids!) Like some other reviewers, I thought there wasn't quite enough liquid, so I added about one more cup of beef broth and about 1/4 cup more of wine - just right for our taste. I also didn't use fettucine - thought it would be hard to consume in a soup, so instead I used spinach penne pasta - it was perfect. I made plenty so I gave some to neighbors and they all loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
Great but don't add too many noodles or they will soak up all the good juices and it turns into a stew. Break up the noodles also to make it easier to serve and eat. I also increased the basil. (After making this for the last couple of years, I have modified it a bit. I don't put in the pasta. Now I cook tortellinis separately and add into each bowl before ladling in the soup. Then I sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Wonderful. Loved by all.)
This is a wonderful soup and one I use very often for family and friends! Instead of the 16 ounces of fettucine I use 8 ounces of small seashell pasta or a bag of frozen O'Brien potatoes. Also, instead of the zucchini I have used spinach or kale. Always a hit! Thanks for sharing.
MMMMM....This reminds me of a soup served by a popular Italian restaurant chain. This ia GREAT in the crock pot!!!! I remove casing from sausage, use white wine instead of red (personal preference), and use cheese filled pasta. Our favorite addition is to sprinkle shredded mozzerella on top each serving and let it melt. Gooey and delish!!!! Dont forget the bread!
Delicious! Since we like spicy food, I used hot Italian sausage in place of the sweet. Next time I will follow another reviewer's suggestion and use elbow macaroni instead of fettucine. Even though I cut the fettucine noodles up, they still made the soup hard to spoon up. Thanks for sharing, Perri.
I have prepared this soup a few times for my family, and it is such a hit with them. The only recommendation I would make would be to add less red wine because the full cup and a half required can be over-powering.

ETSU volleyball sweeps North Florida 3-0 to advance at the A-Sun Championship
Friday, November 19, 2010
Front page photo Courtesy of ASunPhotos.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2010) - ETSU out-blocked North Florida 15-0 on the night to help the Bucs earn a convincing 3-0 (25-22, 25-17, 25-18) sweep over the Ospreys on Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Sun Volleyball Championship at Alico Arena.
With the victory, the No. 3 seeded Bucs advance to take on No. 2 seeded Kennesaw State at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. ETSU has reached 25 wins for the first time since 2006 and equals the school record for wins in a season since rally scoring was implemented in 2002. Fans can follow all the action online for free at ASun.TV for tomorrow's match and throughout the tournament.
"We came out tonight and really executed our game plan," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine. "We are continuing to take it one match at a time, but we are one step closer to the goal we set forth at the beginning of the year, to win the conference championship."
In addition to out-blocking the Ospreys, ETSU significantly out-hit North Florida .295 to .063. The Bucs have now swept the Ospreys in both matches this season. ETSU earned the 3-0 victory over UNF back on October 16 in Jacksonville.
First-Team All-Atlantic Sun performer Alysa Long (Romulus, Mich.) paced the Bucs with eight kills on .438 hitting, while also leading the way defensively with six blocks on the night. Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.) and A-Sun Freshman of the Year Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) each recorded seven kills, while combining for 18 digs and six blocks.
Second-Team All-Atlantic Sun honoree Whitney Cogburn (Kingsport, Tenn.) had one of her most efficient matches of the season as she dished out 27 assists, while adding six kills on eight attempts for a .750 attack percentage. Cogburn also recorded five digs and five blocks from her setter position. Kiley Tamblyn (Torrance, Calif.) tied Devine for the team lead in digs with 11 on the night.
ETSU got off to a slow start to open the match as they trailed the 13-5 in the first frame. However, the Bucs quickly closed the gap after reeling off five straight points to cut the lead to 13-10. UNF maintained a two point advantage when they led 22-20, but the Bucs went on another 5-0 run to take the lead and eventually win the set 25-22. Long recorded two kills during the set ending run.
The second set started off much differently as the Bucs jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. ETSU built an eight point lead and never trailed during the set to take the 25-17 victory. Ryan led the way for the Bucs in the set with four kills.
After the Bucs earned victories in the first two sets, the third frame started very similar to the second. ETSU jumped out to an early lead and again never trailed in the set as they closed out the set and match with a 25-18 victory in the final frame.
The Ospreys were led by sophomore all-conference performer Paige Pridgeon with 11 kills and 10 digs. Britt Claessens added a game-high 35 assists, while Nicole Baran finished with a game-high 12 digs for the Ospreys.
In the other quarterfinal match of the day the No. 4 seed Belmont defeated fifth seeded Mercer, 3-1. Belmont will take on top-seeded Lipscomb in the first semifinal match tomorrow at 5 p.m. ETSU and Kennesaw State will follow at 7:30 p.m. inside Alico Arena on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast.
Kennesaw State defeated ETSU 3-1 just two weeks ago in Kennesaw, Ga. After the Bucs won the opening set KSU took the next three to pick up the victory and eventually earn the No. 2 seed for the tournament. ETSU committed 30 attack errors and 13 service errors in that match. Meanwhile, the duo of Sabrita Gulley and Grace Hoyt combined for 25 kills to lead the Owls.
"I think the team is more relaxed now than when we played them earlier in the season," said Devine. "Kennesaw State is very well coached and they have a good team, but at this point in the season we really have to be at our best."

Ancient City of Damascus
Ancient City of Damascus
Founded in the 3rd millennium B.C., Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a flourishing craft industry, specializing in swords and lace. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history – one of the most spectacular is the 8th-century Great Mosque of the Umayyads, built on the site of an Assyrian sanctuary.
Ancienne ville de Damas
Fondée au IIIe millénaire av. J.-C., c'est l'une des plus anciennes villes du Moyen-Orient. Au Moyen Âge, Damas était le centre d'une industrie artisanale florissante (sabres et dentelles). Parmi les 125 monuments des différentes périodes de son histoire, la Grande Mosquée des Omeyyades du VIIIe siècle, édifiée sur le site d'un sanctuaire assyrien, est l'un des plus spectaculaires.
مدينة دمشق القديمة
تم تأسيس هذه المدينة في الألفية الثالثة قبل الميلاد، ما يجعل منها إحدى أقدم المدن في الشرق الأوسط. وكانت دمشق في القرون الوسطى مركزاً لصناعة حرفية مزدهرة (سيوف وقماش الدنتلاّ)، أما الجامع الأموي الكبير الذي شيد في القرن الثامن في موقع محراب أشوري فيعتبر الأروع بين 125 نصباً ترقى الى مراحل تاريخية مختلفة.

Oude stad van Damascus
Damascus werd gesticht in het 3e millennium voor Christus en is daarmee een van de oudste steden in het Midden-Oosten. In de middeleeuwen was Damascus het centrum van een bloeiende ambachtelijke industrie, gespecialiseerd in zwaarden en kant. De stad bevat zo'n 125 monumenten uit verschillende perioden van de geschiedenis. Een van de meest spectaculaire is de 8e-eeuwse Grote Moskee van de Omajjaden, gebouwd op de plaats van een Assyrisch heiligdom. Ondanks de overheersende invloed van de islam, zijn de sporen van eerdere culturen duidelijk zichtbaar – in het bijzonder de Romeinse en Byzantijnse.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Founded in the 3rd millennium B.C., Damascus was an important cultural and commercial centre, by virtue of its geographical position at the crossroads of the orient and the occident, between Africa and Asia. The old city of Damascus is considered to be among the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. Excavations at Tell Ramad on the outskirts of the city have demonstrated that Damascus was inhabited as early as 8,000 to 10,000 BC. However, it is not documented as an important city until the arrival of the Aramaeans. In the Medieval period, it was the centre of a flourishing craft industry, with different areas of the city specializing in particular trades or crafts.
The city exhibits outstanding evidence of the civilizations which created it - Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic. In particular, the Umayyad caliphate created Damascus as its capital, setting the scene for the city's ongoing development as a living Muslim, Arab city, upon which each succeeding dynasty has left and continues to leave its mark.
In spite of Islam's prevailing influence, traces of earlier cultures particularly the Roman and Byzantine continue to be seen in the city. Thus the city today is based on a Roman plan and maintains the aspect and the orientation of the Greek city, in that all its streets are oriented north-south or east-west and is a key example of urban planning.
The earliest visible physical evidence dates to the Roman period - the extensive remains of the Temple of Jupiter, the remains of various gates and an impressive section of the Roman city walls. The city was the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate. However, apart from the incomparable Great Mosque, built on the site of a Roman temple and over-laying a Christian basilica, there is little visible dating from this important era of the city's history. The present city walls, the Citadel, some mosques and tombs survive from the Middle Ages, but the greatest part of the built heritage of the city dates from after the Ottoman conquest of the early 16th century.
Criterion (i): Damascus testifies to the unique aesthetic achievement of the civilizations which created it. The Great Mosque is a masterpiece of Umayyad architecture, which together with other major monuments of different periods such as the Citadel, the Azem Palace, madrasas, khans, public baths and private residences demonstrates this achievement.
Criterion (ii): Damascus, as capital of the Umayyad caliphate - the first Islamic caliphate - was of key importance in the development of subsequent Arab cities. With its Great Mosque at the heart of an urban plan deriving from the Graeco-Roman grid, the city provided the exemplary model for the Arab Muslim world.
Criterion (iii): Historical and archaeological sources testify to origins in the third millennium BC, and Damascus is widely known as among the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. The incomparable Great Mosque is a rare and extremely significant monument of the Umayyads. The present city walls, the Citadel, some mosques and tombs survive from the Medieval period, and a large part of the built heritage of the city including palaces and private houses dates from after the Ottoman conquest of the early 16th century.
Criterion (iv): The Umayyad Great Mosque, also known as the Grand Mosque of Damascus, is one of the largest mosques in the world, and one of the oldest sites of continuous prayer since the rise of Islam. As such it constitutes an important cultural, social and artistic development.
Criterion (vi): The city is closely linked with important historical events, ideas, traditions, especially from the Islamic period. These have helped to shape the image of the city and impact of Islamic history and culture.
Integrity (2009)
The line of the walls of the old city forms the boundary of the property. Although areas outside the walls that represent the expansion of the city from the 13th century, are considered related to the old city in terms of historical significance, and provide its setting and context, the key attributes of Outstanding Universal Value lie within the boundary. These include the plan of the city and its dense urban fabric, city walls and gates, as well as its 125 protected monuments including the Umayyad Mosque, madrasas, khans, the Citadel and private houses.
The attributes are vulnerable to erosion from a lack of traditional approaches to maintenance and conservation, and use of traditional materials, while its setting and context are threatened by lack of conservation policy for the historical zones outside the walled city and by regional planning projects.
Authenticity (2009)
Since the inscription of the property, the morphological layout and the spatial pattern of the historic fabric have remained basically unchanged and the key discrete attributes survive. However commercial and semi-industrial activities are spreading into the residential area of the walled city and its suburbs, in places eroding the value of the attributes relating to the urban fabric and their inter-relationships.
Protection and management requirements (2009)
Responsibilities for planning control over the old city and its management are in the hands of two government departments (the Commission for Safeguarding the Old Town and the General Directorate for Antiquities and Museums (DGAM). Technical Cooperation for projects and programmes to enhance the city is undertaken by the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment with support from international organizations. The effectiveness of the conservation policy relies on full participation of various interests within the city such as public/private partnerships, all levels of government, the financial community, and citizens.
Legal protection is provided by the Antiquities law 222 amended in 1999 in addition to the Ministerial order no. 192 of 1976 designating the walled city as part of the cultural and historical heritage of Syria. Parliamentary Act N° 826 for the Restoration and Reconstruction/Rebuilding the city within the walls has been reviewed in light of changed conditions, needs and opportunities, and aims at establishing new conditions for the walled city.
A Committee for the Protection and Development of Old Damascus has been established, with representatives of the different bodies to coordinate the planning and building activities in addition to being responsible for the strategic planning for the Old City.
The draft of the Integrated Urban Plan of the old city had been formally approved by Ministerial decision N° 37/A of 2010. A buffer zone has also been delineated but not yet formally approved.
There is a need for the plan, once approved and implemented, to clarify the different levels of protection to be applied to the different parts of the urban fabric, to set out the appropriate interventions
Long Description
Damascus is considered to be the oldest city as well as the oldest capital of the world. It is the cradle of historical civilizations, constituting a beacon of science and art over time, and a historical encyclopaedia which tells a great part of the history of humanity. In the same way, it represents a historical reference for comparing the systems of architecture and town planning over several thousand years.
Founded in the 3rd millennium BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. Dominated to the west by Mount Qasiyun and bounded to the east by the desert, Damascus was founded, with the name of Palmyra, in an oasis that was very fertile thanks to the presence of the River Barada, a meeting place for cultures and caravans. It was the capital of an Aramaic kingdom (11th-7th centuries BC), often at war with the kings of Israel and temporarily conquered by King David. After being defeated twice by the Assyrians, it was definitively conquered by Nebuchadnezzar in 600 BC. It fell into Persian hands in 530 BC, and then in 333 BC it was annexed to the empire of Alexander the Great. The two adjoining areas were unified by the Romans, during the reigns of Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla (AD 197-217). The city was enclosed by a single ring of enclosure walls that are still be identified. After the interval of rule by the Sassanid Parthians, in 636 its fate was sealed permanently as part of the Arab world, becoming the prestigious and monumental capital of the Umayyad caliph. The city then began to expand outside the enclosure walls and enjoyed a time of particular economic prosperity, which continued despite its loss of capital status under the Mameluke dynasty and the devastation wrought during the Mongol incursion.
Damascus preserves a few traces of its long history prior to the Arabic conquest, including some from the Roman period, such as the decumanus, mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, which coincides with the present-day route that crosses the city from east to west, a road lined with columns which still preserves one of the three monumental arches.
The main entrance to the old city is the al Hamidiyeh souk. The Ayyubid Citadel of Damascus is a masterpiece of military architecture, and its courtyards, walls and two enormous entrances illustrate numerous historical events, including the conquest by Timur in 1400.
At the end of the 4th century, during the reign of Emperor Theodosius, on the site of the ancient Temple of Jove there was a Byzantine church dedicated to St John the Baptist and, since 706, the Great Mosque, built at the behest of al-Walid, the sixth Umayyad caliph. The complex has an external courtyard, bounded by a massive wall and flanked by three minarets in different styles. The inner courtyard has three sides with a covered double portico and the centre of it is covered by a dome for the ablution ritual that precedes the prayers. Adjoining the porticoes is the Dome of Treasure, a small octagonal pavilion covered with fine mosaics, and surmounted by a dome that stands on eight Corinthian columns. On the fourth side of the internal courtyard is the mosque proper, subdivided by arches into three parallel aisles, cut on a perpendicular line by a transect, the central part of which was covered by a wooden dome that was destroyed in 1401.
The arrangement of its component elements is reminiscent of the Christian churches of Syria and Armenia and represents a significant example of Umayyad art that continues, through the master craftsmen employed, the tradition of Byzantine art. The urban fabric underwent important transformations with the rise to power of the Abbasids: the urban centre ceased to be a unified organism and was divided up into autonomous quarters, each equipped with its own institutions, mosques, public baths, markets, and police corps. In this way, the rectangular blocks from the Hellenistic grid were transformed into the characteristic Islamic urban fabric. Over the centuries guilds of craftsmen and merchants established themselves around the Great Mosque, while the important Christian minority consolidated itself in the north-east quarters of the city, around the churches and sites associated with the conversation of St Paul.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Need a ride? Yes! answer many older adults.
More than 20 percent of Americans age 65 and older don't drive, according to an analysis of the federal government's National Household Travel Survey by AARP's Public Policy Institute.
Soon, even more people will be clamoring for rides as the country's 78 million boomers, now ages 49 to 67, shed their car keys. (And men typically outlive their driving days by seven years; women outlive theirs by 10.)
According to Transportation for America, an advocacy coalition, by 2015 more than 15.5 million Americans 65-plus will live in areas where public transportation service is poor or nonexistent.
Getting older nondrivers where they need to go could become a national conundrum.
Some communities and organizations are pursuing local solutions. For instance, the trailblazing nonprofit Independent Transportation Network, launched in Maine in 1995, transports people by using a combination of paid and volunteer drivers. Now serving 27 localities, it provided its 500,000th ride last December. Other nonprofits, for-profit companies and municipal and county agencies — often working together — are scrambling to fill the transportation demand.
Here are four innovative initiatives around the country that are getting nondrivers where they need to be.
California: SilverRide
At this San Francisco-based, for-profit transportation company — now expanding into Southern California — drivers are also real companions.
How It Works: The company first meets clients and learns about their interests, often planning outings around them. Drivers may take a client to run errands and then have lunch together. Or pick up one friend at a senior community, another at a private home and go see a movie. Once a week, the company has a group event, such as a barbecue in the park. Cofounder Jeff Maltz says SilverRide (415-861-7433) is "about a repeat experience." Rides average $85 round trip, no tipping.
Dashboard: Since 2007, SilverRide has provided more than 150,000 outings for 3,200-plus clients. Seventy percent of the time, drivers join riders in activities. Average rider age: 85.
The Talk: SilverRide has accolades galore, including the 2009 American Society on Aging national Business of the Year award. "We enable clients to have meaningful experiences outside the home and continue to lead normal lives," says Maltz.
Jason Laveglia, 47, a Web consultant in Scottsdale, Ariz., is a long-distance caregiver to his mother, Ila Dicks, 75. Neither he nor his brother could be in San Francisco for her recent birthday, so they had SilverRide take her to lunch and arrange for a cake. The driver sent photos to Laveglia's phone of Dicks blowing out the candles. The company gives families a trip report not only about the outings, but also about the client's mood and any concerns. "I get a 360 view of what happened, and feel like I'm in the loop," Laveglia says. "It's peace of mind that she can have the freedom and I know that she's safe."
South Carolina: Lower Savannah Council of Governments (LSCOG)
Located in Aiken County, S.C., the Lower Savannah Council of Governments (1-866-845-1550) is a one-stop resource center helps solve transportation quandaries and other aging-related issues.
How It Works: Residents can call the center and ask a mobility manager about a bus schedule, get help with directions or request a specific trip.
Dashboard: The center fields more than 12,000 calls annually in the popular retirement area; while the general population grew by 12 percent from 2000 to 2010, the 60-plus demographic increased 44.2 percent. Municipalities nationwide are interested in replicating the model.
The Talk: "If you need transit help, you probably need other things to live an engaged, independent life in your community," says Lynnda Bassham, director of human services for LSCOG.
One year, a daughter called wanting to get her mother from a nursing home to a family Thanksgiving dinner but couldn't fit a wheelchair into her car. Mobility manager Rhonda Mitchell found an ambulance company to transport her mom for a small fee. "Most calls are from people who don't qualify for Medicaid and need transportation to medical appointments," says Mitchell. "While we're talking, we let them know of services for personal use, too. It seems to lift their burden."

Mr. J.
Great rug pad. No slipping now in my home.Read More
Decent pad for price
Would have preferred more cushioning, but this pad is fine for its purpose and cost! Keeps area rug from shifting! Takes lots of walking!Read More
Does the job!
This is a very sturdy rug pad. Heavy. Cushions the rug well.Read More
Happy Purchaser
This pad is great. Works really well! In all likelihood, it will endure even after the rug wears out.Read More
Great area rug pad!!
I bought this pad for my new area rug, about 3 weeks ago. I replaced an older rug and under that, I had the rubber type pad and it was always sooooo hard. Well, I found this one from Overstock.com and with reading the reviews, decided to try it out. I LOVE IT!!! It makes a world of difference........it is so much softer than before and is so much more comfortable to lay on the floor now. I would recommend this pad to everyone. I went with the "Durable" due to one of the other reviewer's comments and am glad I did. I also thought it was at a fair price. My suggestion to some people would be, "if you want it to feel really, really soft, just like wall to wall carpet, then that is what you need to put down.....not an area rug!" This pad is for an area rug and you will not get that deep sinking feeling when you step on it, but it is soft and if you have had one of the other area rug pads, you will be very glad you bought this one!!!Read More
Great Rug Pad
This rug pad does the job. I'll admit, I was surprised as I thought it might be thicker, but it definitely adds softness under an area rug also purchased from Overstock. I debated actually needing/getting the rug pad fpr underneath the rug and I'm so glad I did. The rug is soft to walk on sit on, etc. The pad is true to size. Like other reviewers, it is a little larger than 8x10 and neededto be cut down slightly, not a big deal. As yes, the pad isn't 'pretty', but heck, it's going under a rug and no one sees it!! Great grip power too.Read More
Heavy, good quality pad
This pad arrived before the rug we ordered, and it was HEAVY to carry into the house. I was impressed by how solid it seems, and it does not slide around on the floor at all. We received the rug, which is a little smaller than the pad, so I cut it down a few inches with a sharp utility knife. It cut smoothly, and there are no uneven edges from the cutting. I can crawl on my hands and knees with our dogs on this without any discomfort to my knees. As our rug is pretty thin, this says something about the pad. I would buy it again.Read More
Thin pad
We purchased this pad to go under an Overstock rug. The pad was much thinner than we expected and provided some, but minimal padding. For another rug we tried the "superior" series and that is every so slightly thicker (maybe 1 mm), but provides slightly more cushion. If I were to buy a pad again I would purchase the "superior" series over the "durable" series.Read More
Great product
This is just as good quality as the superior, can not beat the price either, I will have to cut it a little, I bought a 8*10 carpet and then the 8*10 pad, turns out the pad was a bit wider and longer which is unusual, but works for me! I just love the added comfort to my stained concrete floor.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello catherine r., this pad is recommended for indoor use. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is this pad good for tile floors, my new area rug is starting to show the grout lines
Hello Shirley, it should work fine because it is a non-slip pad. Also it has a four and one half rating from 328 reviews. If you haven't malady, please scan the reviews for extra feedback. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
right size, same brand as rug, good for hard floor surface, good reviews
Need on hardwood floors
It was recommedned
One customer review said she use it with the rug I ordered and made rug very plush and thick feeling. My rug is actually 7ft 6in x 9ft 6in. Im assuming I can cut down this pad with heavy duty sharp scissors?
Because it had good reviews.
looks durable
Have ordered Safavieh products before and liked the quality.
We also purchased a rug that will be going on hardwood floors so we purchased this rug pad for extra cushion under our rug to make it more comfortable.
The reviews were good. I needed a pad for the rug I bought from Overstock earlier this month.
for the padding part of it. I sure do hope it comes rolled up instead of folded like I've heard..
Needed a pad to prevent rug slipping on tile floor and to provide cushioning. The reviews indicate it does both - and the price seems good.
i need it
to create a softer feel underneath the Nu-loom rug i purchased along with this pad.
Based on reviews
same brand as rug I purchased, and it looks thick and soft
I need a sound barrier between me and my downstairs neighbor.
for extra cushion
because of the reviews on your site, plus I've always been happy with products I purchase from your site.
I'm concerned about a pad leaving marks or residue on my new hardwoods. Will this pad do this over time?
Hello klbuckeye, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is this pad safe for LVT (luxury vinyl tile), I am supposed to get non staining padding.
Hello adoptagrey8, unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does this rug pad has a rubber backing or a different material backing? I just want to make sure it can stay clean on the bottom and not transferred to the wood floor.
The rug does have backing not sure what material but the floor under the pad does stay clean.
It's rubber or at least rubber-like.
This won't leave anything on your hardwood floor
What is the weight per square inch or foot for this pad?
I have no clue. Sorry.
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hi mbafrisco, after reviewing with our support staff we found that the total weight is 22 lbs and the weight per sq ft would be 0.27 lbs. I hope this helps, thank you for shopping with us.
Does this rug pad also reduce sound? We live in a top floor apartment in an old building with hardwood floors. Our downstairs neighboor is complaining. We already bought the rug, but we would like this rug pad to also help with noise reduction
Hello littletduff, we appreciate your inquiry. Yes, this pad will help somewhat with noise reduction, as it is fairly thick. Although not designed specifically to reduce sound, it may muffle foot steps directly on the rug somewhat. We hope you have found this information helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have great day!
It seems to help with noise reduction. It is a thicker pad and would absorb some of the sound.
It will insulate some of the sound but thumping I would think will still travel
Is it possible to custom cut this rug pad to fit my 9'6" x 21' carpet?
Hello nov8r, Unfortunately, we are not set up to do customer orders. Item # 11990118 is a 9 x 12. You might consider buying two. Thank you for shopping with us.
NO It is already too small at feet!!!
I cut mine with seamstress shears to the exact measurement of my carpet once I laid the carpet on top
what is the difference between this pad and the Supreme felted dual surface pad?
Hello cpttammy, They are pretty much the same. Just different brands and this one is a little bit thicker. Thank you for shopping with us!
The thickness. I love this pad! Like walking on air.
How thick is this padding?
Cushioned pad measures 0.25 inches thick
One quarter of an inch. Nice and thick.
how do you clean this rug pad? I have 2 young children and spills happen!
This item is not machine washable- Basically you don't wash rug pads- they go between the rug and the floor so it's covered at all times so it wouldn't get dirty. You can vacuum this if ever the event it gets dusty.
Is there any off-gassing with this pad? Voc's emitted? Odor? I have chemical sensitivities and our house is voc-free. I would like to keep it that way if possible. Big issue for me!
There is an odor with this product. I would recommend looking for something green that is earth-friendly. If you type "green carpet pad" in the Overstock.com search box, a whole bunch come up. I hope this helps.
Does this pad contain any PVC's? Afraid it will have a negative effect on the coatings on my hardwood floor.
No, this pad does not have PVC. Its is made of polypropylene and synthetic rubber.
Can it be trimmed to fit a slightly smaller area rug?
Yes, the pad can be trimmed.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD INFORMATION: Genre: Country Music / Country Pop Hometown: Checotah, Oklahoma Awards: 3 Billboard Music Awards, 2 Academy of Country Music Awards, 2 Country Music, 1 American Music Awards Albums: Some Hearts Hits: "Inside Your Heaven", "Some Hearts", "Jesus, Take the Wheel"
As the first country singer to emerge as the winner of the fourth American Idol competition in 2005, Underwood was destined for stardom as soon as she stepped off the idol stage and into her own solo career. America has absolutely fallen in love with Underwood on the pop and country charts, and the artist has captured countless awards, sales records and a bevy of chart-topping hits since she hit the music scene. After growing up on a farm in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Underwood got her big break and ran with it to become one of the most prominent recording artists in America today. When Underwood made the transition to a full-time solo artist, her first album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005 and would eventually go triple platinum. The record featured huge singles like "Inside Your Heaven" and the smash, "Jesus, Take The Wheel," which won Single of the Year From the Country Music Association (CMA) and a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 2006. The song "Before He Cheats" would also prove to be a chart-topper on pop radio, and showed the tougher side of the country music sweetheart. After her immense success with her debut album, Underwood came roaring back in 2007 with Carnival Ride. The record would soon climb to the top of the charts and scored a series of No. 1 country hits like "Last Name" and "All-American Girl." It was around this time that Underwood's star in the country music world would soar even higher when she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008. At 26, Underwood is the youngest singer ever to star on the world's longest running live radio program and is a titan in the country music world. In 2009, Underwood would release her third studio album, Play On, which showcased her growth as a songwriter and would once again climb to No. 1 on the charts. The artist co-wrote seven of the album's tracks, including the album's first single "Cowboy Casanova." Underwood would follow the enormous success of her first three albums with another major release in 2012, Blown Away. The album was yet another No. 1 hit on the country charts and became one of the best-selling albums of the summer of 2012. The well-received tracks "Good Girl" and "Blown Away" show that Underwood still has plenty of music left in store for her fans and hasn't yet scratched the surface of her potential.

I understand you must be pretty good already at tig aluminum.
I have done nothing but tig aluminum for 11 seasons straight. I would call myself what ever name you choose and include aluminum welding in my name...ie...Joe's aluminum welding. Then if you get a biz phone when you get simply listed in the yellow pages you will get the majority of the first calls. I did it and didn't realize it would work out that way. I used to get fancy ads but with this biz I stumbled into this great knowledge...everyday it seems I get a new customer just from the phone book.
I have a Bobcat welder but I now have a Dynasty 200dx and if I was to choose only one it would be the Dynasty. Times are a changing. By sticking to tig aluminum I get a bunch of work from other welding shops/mfgs that I would otherwise compete with plus I get warranty field work from aluminum mfgs. If you spend your hard earned money on a engine drive make sure it will run a newer inverter if you wish to weld aluminum mobile. The inverter will go indoors and weld in places you would have to string leads otherwise.
Everybody knows me because I drive a junk truck hauling TOP-NOTCH welding equipment and I get all the good jobs from the guys who drive newer trucks hauling old junk wore out underpowered welders.
I also stay at the top of my game by sticking to aluminum. HTH

If your going to get into railings check out some of the decorative iron catalogues. I recomend making a product out of aluminum or stainless steel instead of doing metal railings(unless they're fancy fancy). everybody and their dog is welding steel. With aluminum and stainless you can do custom one-off pieces and charge more. If you're planing on going into business making custom rails, than thats a different story. hope this has helped.

I have been doing small jobs, here and there, but I have been told to buy some type of insurance to cover a fire or any general mishap. What is general thoughts on this.....gear
Hey gearhead, just thought I would send you my thoughts on the issue here.
I have done alot of work for people on the side and professionally within the feild and have yet (knock on wood) nobody has asked if I had insurance, and the only thing I do have insurance is on my equipment and vehicle's.
I might add if you do it's really not that much, if you find a good agency.
I have been doing this for 15-20yr's now so thats my opion take it for what you feel like.
more info-extra money welding
If you have a Walmart or Mejier around were you live just ask them who they have to fix the aluminum carts they use in the store and you will be suprised they have to ship them out to be fix so if they can have them done local and no chareg for return shippment it might give you the chance to show your work and a quick turn around also,just a thought for you to think about.
I do agree with the other guys if you can promote yoour welding skills in the aluminum area go for it as much as you can becuase you'll find not many welder's can weld alum and be very good at it esp tig welding they just don't have the time or patience to do the job. I'M NOT TRYING TO SOUND LIKE ALL WELDOR'S ARE BAD AND DON'T KHOW HOW TO DO THE JOB BUT THERE ARE SOME REALLY BAD WELDOR'S WHO SAY THEY CAN WELD AND CAN'T, NO OFFENCE TO THE GOO ONE'S.
I am not even "one of the good ones" and I am not offended. I know what you are saying.Tim Beeker,

Extra Money
I started welding in 2000 for extra money. I started welding for the landscape, lawn care and irrigation industry. They destroy a lot of trailers and equiptment. Then i joined the Louisiana Craft Guild and started buliding sofa tables, crosses and an assortment of other crafts. I started attending Craft shows (not flea markets no money their). That lead to custom trellises, arbors, gate and small fences. At this point it is a 15000.00 a year side JOB!!! At times it is to much, but the money is good.

Denny Hamlin - Joe Gibbs Racing No.11 FedEx ChevroletThis panoramic photograph of the No.11 FedEx Chevrolet, driven by Denny Hamlin and owned by Joe Gibbs Racing, was taken by Christopher Gjevre. Hamlin began racing go-karts at the early age of seven. In his 2006 rookie NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series racing season, Hamlin finished third; the best points finish by a rookie in NASCAR's modern era, was the first rookie to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and was crowned 2006 Raybestos Rookie of the Year. That season brought two wins for Hamlin, both at Pocono Raceway. Joe Gibbs Racing expanded to three NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series teams when FedEx became a primary sponsor of the No.11 car in 2005.
