The United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) was a UN peacekeeping mission in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia in the eastern parts of Croatia between 1996 and 1998, established by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1037 of January 15, 1996.[2] It is also sometimes known as the United Nations Transitional Authority in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium.
Pre-establishment events[edit]
After Operation Storm in mid-1995, the only remaining part of the Republic of Serbian Krajina became that in the east, near the border with Yugoslavia. The subsequent Dayton agreement ended the most deadly conflicts of the Yugoslav wars, and laid the ground for the restoration of this territory into Croatian jurisdiction. The Erdut Agreement between the Croatian Government and the representatives of the Serbs in the region was signed in November 1995, which requested that the UN form a transitional authority and a peacekeeping force. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1023 supported that, and after the UNCRO mission was terminated in the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1025, UNTAES was set up to serve as a United Nations protectorate over the region in Resolution 1037.
Part of a series on the
|History of Slavonia
Ottoman Empire
Habsburg Monarchy
20th century
The mission started on January 15, 1996 with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1043.[1] Mission was meant to last for one year, with provision which permitted extension of mandate of up to one year if one of the sides ask so.[1] Mission main task was to monitor demilitarization and ensure peaceful reintegration of the territory into Croatia. UN Secretary General initially proposed that UNTAES should have 9,300 soldiers.[1] The final agreement mission had a military and a civilian component with 5,000 soldiers,[1] 500 UNTAES civilian police (UNCIVPOL)[1] and 99 military observers. Before the arrival of UNTAES troops in region has already been located 1,600 troops from Belgian and Russian Armed Forces under United Nations Confidence Restoration Operation in Croatia.[1] They were joined by Jordanian and Pakistani mechanized battalions, Ukrainian helicopter gunship and other units.[1] Initial headquarters was located at United Nations Protection Force headquarters in Zagreb but idea of mission personnel was to put headquarters in eastern Croatia.[1] Croatian Government offered Osijek for that purpose but mission refused it since it wanted to locate it on the territory of Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia.[1] Therefore the headquarters were located in Vukovar, with a liaison office in Beli Manastir, which provided UNTAES civil affairs officers with the opportunity to attend sessions of local Serb Executive Councils and assemblies which facilitated exchange of relevant information.[1] One of the challenges mission faced was tense and peaceful retake of Đeletovci oil fields from the control of Scorpions paramilitary.[1] Representatives of mission urged ambassadors from Zagreb to visit region and additionally introduced practice of visiting of the local Serbian orthodox churches and two Catholic churches that still were in operation.[1]
Local Police Reform[edit]
One of the main tasks of UNTAES was reform of local police forces in which before the war occurred first inter-ethnic conflicts (see:Battle of Borovo Selo). UNTAES initial problem was to replacement of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia symbols.[1] Since there was resistance to that, compromise was reached where UNTAES with financial support of US Department of Justice bought uniforms without any state features.[1] Croatian government initially refused to begin paying salaries to local police but later agreed to do so since it showed return of Croatian sovereignty and responsibility for region.[1] Second problem was the fact that Croatian government refused to pay salaries in Yugoslav dinar while local police didn't want it in Croatian kuna so in the end it was paid in Deutsche Mark.[1] Support for UNTAES was provided by Polish Special Police Group that made first arrest of an indicated war criminal who was former mayor of Vukovar.[1]
Mission extensions[edit]
- in July 1996 with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1069
- in November 1996 with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1079
- in July 1997 with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1120
Subsequent events[edit]
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1145 in late 1997 arranged for the United Nations Police Support Group (UNPSG) to take over UNTAES' policing tasks, effectively concluding the UNTAES mission on January 15, 1998. A support group of 180 civilian UN police officers remained to monitor the progress of the Croatian police and oversee the return of the refugees. After the end of UNTAES mission OSCE office continue to work in region for few years.

Ooh, I love Final Four night! The guy-guy and girl-girl numbers are always a blast, and a great chance for a side-by-side comparison before our final votes. Tonight we got a sexy burlesque featuring Tiffany, Eliana, and a great big pole that reminded Nigel Lythgoe of an outing he'd had with Randy Jackson. *TMI, NIGEL.* Meanwhile, Cyrus and Chehon and their seemingly painted-on torsos rippled their way through a difficult Sonya Tayeh routine filled with lifts. Plus: a stunning pas de deux, all-stars Will Wingfield, Allison Holker, and Alex Freaking Wong, and the "Glitch"/"tWitch" snap animation number we've all been waiting for (even if we didn't know it).
Nigel outright admitted he'd be voting for Chehon over Cyrus, and called Eliana his favorite dancer throughout the entire series. So that's settled. Vote for the dancers you think should win after the break.
See tonight's set list and voting numbers below:
Eliana Girard and Cyrus Glitch Spencer – Paso Doble (Jason Gilkinson)
Tiffany Maher and Will Wingfield – Contemporary (Sonya Tayeh)
Eliana Girard and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp – Ballet (Marat Daukayev)
Tiffany and Cyrus – Lyrical Hip Hop (Tessandra Chavez)
Chehon and Allison Holker – Contemporary (Stacey Tookey)
Eliana and Tiffany – Burlesque (Ray Leeper)
Cyrus and Chehon – Jazz (Sonya Tayeh)
Eliana Girard and Alex Freaking Wong – Contemporary (Travis Wall)
Tiffany and Chehon – Rumba (Dmitry Chaplin)
Cyrus and tWitch Boss – Snap Animation (Christopher Scott)
Eliana: 1-855-GO-HER-01
Tiffany: 1-855-GO-HER-02
Cyrus: 1-855-GO-HIM-01
Chehon: 1-855-GO-HIM-02
Which dance was your favorite?

Clark Sarver, operator of a call center in Lockland, writes an opinion piece about all those "job-killing regulations" Republican politicians have been lamenting about since Barack Obama became president ("Stop regulating business into the ground," June 8).
Sarver highlights two specific "job-killing" proposed policies:
1. Raising the minimum wage. Most call centers that I know of in our country pay their workers significantly more than the current federal or even state of Ohio minimum wages, so this "job-killer" shouldn't have any effect on his business.
2. New EPA emissions standards. Exactly how would this proposed EPA regulation have a negative effect on his call center business?
Time and time again, I have heard a small number of business owners complaining about all those "job-killing EPA regulations."
And yet when I ask them specifically which ones are preventing their businesses from operating or growing, they have no specific answer and instead bring up general ones, just like Sarver did.
Which other current EPA regulations does Sarver have a problem with, the ones designed to prevent further contamination of our environment that also cause harm to humans, as in the recent Duke Energy spillage fiasco in North Carolina?
As far as those "job-killing business/financial" regulations, does he mean the ones that are attempting to prevent another crash like we had during the last year of George W. Bush's presidency?
If he has a specific regulation that is specifically and unfairly targeting his company/industry, and his company has no intention to harm the environment nor to increase its profits by dishonest/unethical means at the expense of causing consumers financial hardship, then he should contact local congressional representatives, and be prepared to explain how this regulation(s) is unfairly endangering his livelihood.

Anorexia Nervosa Health Center
Living With Anorexia: Carré Otis
By Carré Otis
Growing up in an alcoholic household where life was chaotic and unstable had me searching for ways to cope and remedy the anxiety I experienced.
I had a tremendous fear of becoming a woman, and my relationship with my mother was fractured. I lacked the nurturing that makes the process of growing from girlhood to womanhood feel safe. As my body changed, I felt confusion and dread. I had no role models, no supportive female relationship to turn to.
Food seemed to be a way for me to control the mayhem, medicate my anxiety, and attempt to control my life and body.
Addicted to Denying Food
By the time I entered the modeling world, I had already become quite addicted to the patterns of using food -- and denying myself food -- as a means to provide relief. It was the beginning of a long road of self-abuse.
Because of my age and my low self-esteem, I was very susceptible to the judgments thrown at me in the modeling world, where I seemed to be viewed only by my body. All attention and conversation were focused on the physical: weight, shape, size, toned or flabby.
It was excruciating to be spoken of as if I were not in the room, or not even in the body that was being touched and poked and judged. The pressure to be thin and fit into the sample sizes that they shoot for the magazines was tremendous. Basically, if I did not fit the dress I would lose the job. I did not have friends or family to support me at that time, nor did I have an education to fall back on. I felt I had no choice but to make it work.
The sacrifices I made were life threatening. I had entered a world that seemed to support a "whatever it takes" mentality to maintain abnormal thinness. I would simply not eat and then get to the point of madness from starvation and end up bingeing.
It was a terrifying roller coaster and I had no way to understand that my methods were the cause of the roller coaster I was on. There were no "educators" for nutritional balance. No one was there to take me by the hand and explain what a healthy diet looked like. When I was told I was "fat" it felt like a death sentence, and those words would catapult me into an anorexic episode of total abstinence from food.

Hi everybody,
In index.php I have a column with blog posts and another that is supposed to display the latest post of the type 'personer' (Swedish for persons).
This is the code:
<?php $loop = new WP_Query('post_type=personer&posts_per_page=1'); ?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

Person of the month

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more »
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
But this returns nothing. For the previous WP site I worked on I tried to use WP_Query in the main loop (to control number of posts per page until I discovered that you set this up in wp-admin), and it didn't work then either. What am I doing wrong?

My first assumption was that she simply jumped but at 1/15, there is no way. It is a great concept but the backdrop is a little plain. I think those are power lines in the background. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing your submissions come in, Eric.

From my working program, I need to print an ASCII file to a printer connected through USB. So far this was working fine as we used LPT1 with the following command.

But the necessity to switch over to USB is becoming a must for very obvious reasons.
Seems Net Use is one way to map it to LPT. Is there any other way, particularly to work out in Windows 7 and XP ?

Lawyers Aim to Roll Back Curbs on Lawsuits
(See Correction & Amplification below.)
Plaintiff and consumer groups, buoyed by prospects of a Democratic president and expanded Democratic majority in Congress, are preparing a big push for legislation that would roll back limitations on personal-injury and class-action lawsuits.
The plaintiffs bar's legislative wish-list includes limiting companies' use of federal regulations as a shield from litigation under state law, and laws to end mandatory arbitration in consumer contracts, opening potential new avenues for civil lawsuits.
The initiatives reflect a new aggressiveness by the plaintiffs' bar after years on the defensive.
The legal industry's fund raising for Democratic candidates and political action committees is on pace to exceed the $137 million raised in 2004, as pro-plaintiff groups see a rare political opportunity. "We've been back on our end of the field for too long," said Ed Mierzwinksi of U.S. PIRG, a consumer-advocacy group. "Now we do have a chance to throw deep."
Polls suggest Democrats could add to their 51-seat Senate majority in Tuesday's elections. If the party gains 60 seats or close to that number in the chamber and Democratic Sen. Barack Obama wins the White House, the Democrats could potentially block Republican filibusters and enact a sweeping agenda.
That has unnerved "tort-reform" advocates, who have sought limits on civil litigation.
"The impending election portends a perfect storm that will engulf business interests," said Lester Brickman, a law professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York. He warned of the "most significant enlargement of tort liability since the 1960s."
In the final presidential debate, Sen. Obama touted his independence from trial lawyers, citing his vote -- with 16 other Democrats -- to force more class-actions to be filed in federal courts, where juries have shown to be less sympathetic to plaintiffs.
But pro-plaintiff groups see an ally in Sen. Obama, a former law professor, who has offered support for tighter consumer-safety regulations and co-sponsored a bill in August to roll back mandatory arbitration for military-service members and their employers. The bill remains in committee.
"There's a lot of hope because Obama ... should at least understand these issues and their importance in a way a lot of politicians don't," said David Arkush, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch, a consumer-advocacy group.
Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee, has been less supportive of tort reform than his party. He was one of four Senate Republicans to vote against a 1995 bill, later passed, that makes it more difficult for investors to bring securities-related lawsuits.
Legal issues have generally received scant attention during the campaign. "With all the other issues -- taxes, financial crises, the war -- this has been a B-minus issue," said Victor Schwartz, general counsel for the American Tort Reform Association. "But in terms of real money, this isn't B-minus."
President Bush often complained about excessive lawsuits choking the American economy, but many of his proposed changes -- limits on fees and big payouts -- were often stymied by trial lawyers.
The American Association for Justice, formerly the American Trial Lawyers Association, changed its name and revamped its approach under Jon Haber, a 55-year-old Democratic communications strategist hired as its chief executive in 2005. He hired political strategists, including senior Obama adviser David Axelrod, to create a "campaign-style political apparatus," said Democratic consultant Chris Lehane.
The centerpiece of the AAJ's agenda is its opposition to "pre-emption," or federal regulations that block product-safety lawsuits by consumers and states. The Supreme Court is set to hear a case challenging the pre-emption principle on Monday; Democrats have vowed to pass a law to redress the issue if the court sides with industry.
Plaintiffs groups have also been quietly building their case against the use of mandatory-arbitration clauses in consumer contracts. Over the past decade, credit cards, technology and telecom companies have increasingly required customers to waive rights to jury trials and class-action suits. Democrats have tried to eliminate the clauses in everything from nursing-home contracts to meatpacker-company agreements. "The trial lawyers used the last Congress to learn where the soft spots were," said Mr. Schwartz, the tort-reform advocate.
Law firms and lawyers gave $181 million to Democratic and Republican candidates in the current election cycle through Oct. 19, according to the Center for Responsible Politics, putting it on pace to surpass the $183 million donated in 2004 and up from $120 million in 2006. About 75% of all donations in the current cycle have gone to Democrats. The AAJ, the largest single contributor, has given $2.5 million to candidates, with about 95% going to Democrats.
Sen. Obama has raised $28 million from the industry, compared to Sen. McCain's $9 million.

Used kahrs dont hold resale value like other brands. But thats the only thing I can think of.
This is a discussion on Why *NOT* buy a Kahr? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm just about ready to buy a NIB 9mm. Kahr K9 Elite (polished stainless) as my primary CCW. I don't want bigger and can't go ...
I'm just about ready to buy a NIB 9mm. Kahr K9 Elite (polished stainless) as my primary CCW. I don't want bigger and can't go much smaller as I have large hands. (Don't think I could ever get used to a two finger grip).
So, why shouldn't I buy the Kahr? Got any better ideas? If so, what are they and why?
Used kahrs dont hold resale value like other brands. But thats the only thing I can think of.
I can't tell you why not to buy it. I love my Kahr K40. No issues at all. Some of the poly- framed Kahrs have been known to have some problems here an there. I've not heard the same complaints with the all steel models. I like the size, feel, weight, basically everything about my Kahr. Might get a 9mm model one day as well.
I certainly can't give you a reason not to, really. If I wouldn't of bought my PM9, I'ld still EDC my Glock 26. My Kahr's thinner, shorter, & packs more power than my S&W442, so what's not to like?

If I read your post correctly you are looking for possible 9mm alternatives to the Kahr K9 elite. The alternative that comes to mind is the Sig P239 SAS with the double action only DAK trigger. The gun is slightly larger than the Kahr, but not very much. It has a single stack 8 round magazine and a 7 pound trigger pull on every shot. It also has some nice features for CCW, such as a melt treatment on the slide and a night sight on the front.
I don't have one but I like Sigs in general for reliability and accuracy, and this is a very sharp looking gun:
I'm going to agree with Pogo2-
That Sig P239 SAS is a good looking gun.
Now, since I am still shopping for my first hand gun, I would like to ask a tangent (and perhaps stupid) question about the very nice looking wooden stock.
Is there ANY FUNCTIONAL reason to consider a wooden stock or is it purely an asthaetic preference?
"Luck is the point where opportunity and preparedness meet."
I can't tell you why not to buy a Kahr. I love mine and the factory has been real good about "issues" that have come up, like ordering the wrong sights for it.
Dottie at Kahr over-nighted a set of Night-sights to me after I told her of MY error and trusted me to ship the other set to her. If and when I need another Kahr type weapon I will gladly purchase it.
To me my Kahr is a "niche" weapon for a selected purpose.
I wouldn't buy one. They don't seem like much gun for the money to me. If I were going to buy a single-stack little gun it would be a compact 1911.
Whatever doesn't kill you postpones the inevitable.
These days with all the polymer frame guns on the market, the number of guns that allow the option of wood grips seems to be decreasing. But it is still fun to order fancy wood grips for your gun, put them on and look at them. Two weeks ago I got some new Badger walnut grips for my S&W model 66 snubby, and I am still admiring them:
I have never had to ask myself why I shouldn't buy a weapon (that I already liked)...
I tend to have a number of reasons why I should buy...just one more gun!

I wouldn't get a Kahr for two reasons.
1) I'm not a super fan of DAO (or hammerless) handguns. It's merely a personal preference.
2) Even though I've read good things (on this site) about their customer support. I've also read a few threads where people had to take it back because several trips to the factory didn't fix it. With that being said, I'm sure many (or probably most) Kahr owners don't have a problem, but the first impression is usually the big one.
...He suggested that "every American citizen" should own a rifle and train with it on firing ranges "at every courthouse." -Chesty Puller
any suggestions for a great looking set of replacement grips/stock for the K9? pictures are helpful, you know?
Opinions, we all have them
So here's mine, if you like it, buy it....the good?
1. thin for concealment
2. no controls except slide release and it's DAO, for a truly defensive personal CCW you can't do better than DAO with no controls. You point and shoot period.
3. Kahrs have outstanding triggers out of the box
4. They have a reputation for excellent accuracy
5. They nearly as reliable as S&W revolvers, more reliable than the average 1911 out of the Box and nipping on the heals of the Glocks and Sigs.
1. Not cheap
And like any gun you can get a bad one. As far as resalve value I'd say that's a non-issue. How many of us buy and trade guns as any kind of investment?
The only other thing I'd say about your choice is it is a heavy weapon but it's a high quality weapong. The sig is better but I think thickness is a big deal in how comfortable carry is for long periods.
God Bless
Pogo2-I suppose that tradition and good looks are two major reasons for wood grips on a handgun. But I also like wood grips because they feel good in my hand and don't tend to "grab" at a CCW cover garment the way rubber grips often do.
Your response and opinion are both greatly appreciated, and I really like the look of your S&W snubby. But the ultra smooth and polished look of the snubby begs the next question...
Does it ever feel slippery in the hand?
And the first thing that comes to mind with the wooden stock or grips is, if the weapon is dropped, isn't there a greater chance for damage to the wood than other materials? (I know; nobody ever drops their hand gun, right?)
"Luck is the point where opportunity and preparedness meet."
I got a reason why you shouldnt... you other carry guns will get upset because the will never leave the safe.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.

I am a breast cancer survivor. A breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. It was a challenging & hard-fought battle to endure the pain and suffering of multiple surgeries; the devasting effects and side-effects of chemotherapy; and to overcome my fear. My participation in the TriveWell Cancer Foundation (The DIVA Program) was strongly recommended to me by my oncologist. The DIVA Program is a FREE nutrition & exercise program for women with breast cancer. Breast cancer patients who follow diet & exercise guidlines can reduce their risk of recurrence by 30-40 percent! The DIVA Program (Deriving Inspiration & Vitality through Activity) is a fitness program offering aerobics, yoga, Thai Chi & zumba classes. It provides nutritional counseling. Artful Healing classes are available twice monthly. THE DIVA PROGRAM IS OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE. The DIVA Program gave me an opportunity to "Get My Life Back". ThriveWell Cancer Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for cancer by funding cancer research, providing patient support, and offering programs, such as The DIVA Program, to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families. The DIVA "sisterhood" has given me an opportunity to gain control over my life, good health, & my survival rate. The DIVA Program positively impacts the San Antonio Community's breast cancer patients & survivors.

Job fair planned to help Plywood employeesSeptember 03,2014Job fair targets
Plywood workers
A job fair organized to help some of the 170 displaced Rutland Plywood employees will be held Friday at the Holiday Inn in Rutland Town.
From noon to 3 p.m. at the conference center, roughly 20 employers from around the region will have information and applications available for about 100 full-time, part-time and temporary job positions, said Wendy Morse, regional manager of the Department of Labor.
The 70 full-time and 100 part-time and temporary employees at Rutland Plywood all lost jobs Aug. 21 when fire leveled the 84,000-square-foot plant in Rutland Town.
Rutland Plywood officials havent decided whether they will rebuild but officials have said even if the company does rebuild, it might be two years before a new plant is complete.
Normally, the Department of Labor hosts two job fairs a year in May and October, Morse said. But the fire and large-scale job loss have prompted the agency to add a third hiring session.
Morse said the companies hiring at the job fair represent a diverse cross-section of construction, manufacturing, health care and service industry businesses.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

I've an applet used in a web app which needs access to the computers printers. It works fine but I want to get rid of the security warnings.
For development purposes, I have self signed the jar the applet is in. This produces the expected security warning, something like that this web page wants to run an applet, the publisher is unknown/not trusted, run or cancel.
From what I've read about signed applets, I thought that when I press 'run' on the above security warning, the applet would have permissions to run its course. However after I press 'run', I get the security warnings that the applet is trying to access the printers.
Is there some way to access the printers without getting these security warnings?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Objective: To determine if polyvalent IgG is promising therapy for severe IgA nephropathy.
Design: Open prospective cohort study.
Setting: Referral nephrology unit.
Patients: 11 adult patients with severe IgA nephropathy (9 who had idiopathic disease and 2 who had Henoch-Schonlein purpura) and indicators of poor prognosis.
Intervention: Patients were given high-dose immunoglobulins (2 g/kg each month) for 3 successive months, followed by intramuscular immunoglobulins (preparation content, 16.5%; 0.35 mL/kg every 15 days) for another 6 months.
Measurements: Histologic changes were analyzed by comparing pre- and post-therapy renal biopsy specimens blindly, using an activity index (14-point scale), a sclerosis index (10-point scale), and a semiquantitative immunofluorescence test of immune deposits. Proteinuria, hematuria, leukocyturia, enzymuria, and global renal function (creatinine and polyfructosan clearances) were evaluated before and after intervention.
Results: Proteinuria (median level before intervention, 5.20 g/d; median level after intervention, 2.25 g/d), hematuria, and leukocyturia decreased substantially. The decrease in glomerular filtration rate was greatly slowed or stopped (median rate of decline in glomerular filtration before, −3.78 mL/min per month; after, 0 mL/min per month). The histologic index of activity (median index before, 5; after, 2) and the staining intensity of glomerular IgA and C3 deposits also decreased. Immunoglobulin therapy was well tolerated.
Conclusions: Immunoglobulin therapy may be effective in treating severe IgA nephropathy and protecting renal function. However, prospective controlled trials must confirm these preliminary results.
The glomerular filtration rate is expressed on the vertical axis in mL/min per 1.73 m . The Y axis represents the time before and after the intervention, expressed in months. The latest data available on renal function for each patient are given. Patients 4 and 11 are omitted because their renal function was normal and stable before and after intervention. Patient 5 is omitted because we had no data earlier than 1 month before immunoglobulin therapy (see ).
The rate of decline in renal function was evaluated as the decrease in the glomerular filtration rate during the period studied (mL/min per 1.73 m per number of months). Values for each patient before and after intervention are given on the vertical axis. The evaluation of the decline in renal function after intervention accounted for the latest data available for each patient. Patient 5 was omitted because we have no follow-up data on renal function more than 1 month before immunoglobulin therapy (see ).
The activity index is noted on a final 14-point scale. Values for each patient before and after intervention are given on the vertical axis.

This popular series keeps rolling. In this, the fifth installment, we find pretty much what we've gotten from the start: slutty chicks acting, well, slutty.
The performances are all up to par, especially the opener with Britney Stevens who really knows her way around the business end of a cock.
The highlight, however, is the two-girl combo of Jenna Haze and Adrianna Nicole. Haze's pipe stem legs and Nicole's slender frame are a potent blend.
All that, and plenty of extras, too.

In Microsoft Entourage, I can use Tab to move the highlighted selection from "Inbox" in the left-hand column:
...to the list of email in my inbox:
And Shift-Tab returns the selection to the left-hand column again.
But once-in-a-while when I return to Entourage (but never immediately after launching it), Tab and Shift-Tab are reversed. That is, I need to use Shift-Tab to move the highlighted selection to the list of email and Tab to return the selection to the left-hand column.
I don't know what causes this, and I find it so annoying that I'll restart Entourage just to restore Tab and Shift-Tab to what my muscle-memory expects.
What is causing them to get reversed, and can I un-reverse them without restarting Entourage?
Update: It just happened again, and I confirmed that Tab and Shift-Tab are reversed on both my external keyboard and the built-in MacBook Pro keyboard. So I'm pretty sure it's not "stuck keys". I'm guessing it's either a bug in Entourage (in which case I'll continue to restart when this happens) or there's some way to change the tab order, which I'm accidentally activating. If it's the latter, maybe I can learn how to avoid doing so, or learn how to switch the tab order back to the default.
Update #2 (responding to JRobert's comment): I just went to Entourage and found the keys reversed. They're not reversed in Safari (tabbing between the URL field and the search field), and they're not reversed when I use Command-Tab and Shift-Command-Tab. But they're still reversed when I return to Entourage. So my guess in update #1 is not disproved.

I was here for only 1 hour, I wished I could stay for a 1 day to 2..But anyway, I enjoyed my trip here and mingled with the locals in the ferry. :-))
When you are here in Samosir Island, please see the traditional Batak Houses, I just loved how they built the house, so unique. I have Batak house fridge magnet and wind chime at home. The batak houses, all are wooden and square, with wooden structures in pillar and high roofs and..aaah..I dont know how to describe them.. and they have satellite dish tv too..
Do you know the Bataks eat human? hmmm...of cos, in the olden days, not now. Dont worry :-)) They eat dogs instead, aarrrggghhhh....
From Medan, you will arrived at Parapat, it is a town where you will take a ferry to Samosir Island. Well, there is a story for Parapat and Batu Gantung. Okay, let me tell some nonsense here...Here goes the story..
As usual, Once upon a time, near Danau Toba, there lived a family with one child, a beautiful girl when she grows up. She falls in love with a guy but her parents already arranged marriage for her since they dont know she had a guy, she loves so much. Oh, the parents does not agree with the guy she choose, and insist her to marry the other guy. Oh no, she was so sad that she cries every day near Danau Toba with her dog, she feel so hopeless as the wedding day already near.
She feels like commit suicide, she wanted to jump in the Danau Toba, as she walking near the edge, with confused mind as she doesnt want to die or leave her guy, suddenly she slipped and fell into a big hole, there she felt the stone were squeezing her, thinking its time for her to die, she said "Prapat..Prapat" which means moving closer, wah..amazingly, the stones come closer and squeezed her. Her dog keep on barking and keep looking at the hole.. and it somehow attracted the villager's attention. They came to help and heard the girls voice saying Parapat..parapat , while other call the parent to save the girl. But its just too late, the stone in the hole already squeezed her tight and she gone. Her parents were sad and since then the people there named the place as Parapat. So thats how Parapat got the name..
After time passed and years later earthquake happened, stones were falling down to the Danau Toba, and when the earthquake stopped, the villagers saw a big stone hanging to the cliff. They believed the stone was the girl who trapped inside the stones and since then the villagers named it "Batu Gantung"
You can see the Batu Gantung when the ferry take you to have a look the hanging stone and you will see those happy children in the boat and swimming in the lake. So beautiful..

Nice reading! The pictures are very good. Is this place in Indonesia? Do you have to take Visa for visiting this place?
I just realized I gave a stupid answer on Visa..Haha. I dont need a travel visa to Indonesia, you can apply visa on arrival at the airport for USD25.
Ya we know. You have the privilege of being ASEAN country , you perhaps don't require any VISA.
Lake Toba difficult to describe the beauty of nature. Peace and nice. Will be come again. WHEN ....
Danau Toba looks like a very interesting and beautiful place, Mimi. Terima kasih for sharing. I really enjoyed the legends that you included. Strangely the VT picture enlarger quit working just as I finished. Maybe the Danau Toba magic only lets you look at the pictures once.
Horas, Mimi; Nice story, nice looking place.

Down with Centrism
What the country yearns for is moderation. What we hear about is the political center. But centrism has become the enemy of moderation.
Moderation in politics is about balance. It means believing in a vibrant and innovative private sector and a government substantial enough to do what the private sector doesn't and to enforce sensible rules for economic competition. It means incentives for success, help for those making their way up, and security for the sick, the aging, the poor, the unlucky. It means equilibrium between our love of individualism and our desire for community. This, in turn, means that reducing the budget deficit can't rely only on cutting programs. Yes, taxes need to go up.
All the polls I have ever seen peg the vast majority of Americans as moderate by this definition.
Centrism is something altogether different. It's not a philosophy. It's a position based on calculation. It doesn't start with fixed principles. It measures where everyone else stands on some political spectrum at a given moment and then frantically adjusts.
Because centrism is reactive, you never really know what a centrist believes. Centrists are constantly packing their bags and chasing off to find a new location as the political conversation veers one way or another.
Right now, this sort of centrism is enabling our irrational, dangerous, and decidedly immoderate debt-ceiling conversation. Pushed by the Tea Party, Republicans have created an unprecedented situation by tying an increase in the debt ceiling, once a routine matter, to sharp cuts in spending. And their most conservative members have blocked any new tax revenues to cut the deficit.
Worse, the Right would junk majoritarian democracy altogether through misnamed "balanced budget" amendments that would not permit any tax increases without a two-thirds vote of Congress. This would lock in today's historically low tax levies on the wealthy by immunizing them from any foreseeable election result.
Yet the center's devotees, in politics and in the media, fear saying outright that by any past standards -- or by the standards of any other democracy -- the views of this new right wing are very, very extreme and entirely impractical. Centrists worry that saying this might make them look "leftist" or "partisan."
Instead, the center bends. It concocts deficit plans that include too little new tax revenue. It accepts cuts in programs that would have seemed radical and draconian even a couple of years ago. It pretends this crisis is caused equally by conservatives and liberals when it is perfectly clear that there would be no crisis at all if the Right hadn't glommed onto the debt ceiling as the (totally inappropriate) vehicle for its antigovernment dreams.
It's time for moderates to abandon centrism and stop shifting with the prevailing winds. They need to state plainly what they're for, stand their ground, and pull the argument their way. Yes, they would risk looking to "the left" of where the center is now -- but only because conservatives have pulled it so far their way.
On the debt ceiling itself, I still find it hard to imagine that Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell will allow the country to go over the cliff. They should shelve debt-ceiling fights for the rest of President Barack Obama's term because there are better ways to argue about taxes and spending. If they flinch from taking on the Tea Party, even more trouble faces us.
But when this ends, it's Obama who'll need a reset. At heart, he's a moderate who likes balance. Yet Americans have lost track of what he's really for. Occasionally you wonder if he's lost track himself. He needs to remind us, and perhaps himself, why he wants to be our president. He could give four or five big speeches -- preferably at community colleges in states facing economic trouble -- laying out a clear, detailed and, yes, inspirational plan for what the country needs to do to regain its standing and its confidence. And then he has to fight relentlessly to take the debate away from those who think government's only job is to diminish itself.
His advisers are said to be obsessed with the political center, but this leads to a reactive politics that won't motivate the hope crowd that elected Obama in the first place. Neither will it alter a discourse whose terms were set during most of this debt fight by the right. There's nothing wrong with moderation that immoderate doses of conviction and courage won't cure.

Dionne is absolutely correct in his distinction between "moderation" and "centrism," and the unparalleled meltdown in Washington last week shows the danger of confusing the two. Nor can we blame everything on the Tea Party and the way in which the GOP panders to its infantilism. It seems as if Obama has picked up Clinton's habit of "triangulation" -- trying to figure out how to appease both liberals and conservatives, without any clear sense of principle. And if it's true that everything in the White House today is filtered through the desire for re-election, it is unlikely that the President will take the bold steps necessary to lay out a clear vision of what the country needs. Nor indeed will any of those in Congress who are facing election or re-election next year.

Qatar 2015 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe
2014 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Betting Guide - Sunday, October 3rd 2015
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is the richest race to be run in Europe throughout the entire racing calendar and brings together the best horses from all over the world to compete for the £2 million first prize at Longchamp in Paris. It takes place on the first weekend in October at the end of a very busy flat season and the winner is always classed as the 'Champion' of that particular year. The meeting is held over two days which features no less than 7 Group 1 races but the Arc takes centre stage and is watched by over a Billion viewers throughout 30 countries around the world plus the 60,000 spectators who flock to Paris each year to see the race live.
French racing is slightly different as they only allow bets on the Pari-mutuel on course, which is similar to our Tote system so it's a great opportunity to take advantage of the many internet bookmakers and the special deals they have to offer new and old customers for this special occasion.
Over the years we have seen some great winners of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, who can forget the legendary Dancing Brave, the courageous Dylan Thomas or the sublime See The Stars going over to France and cementing their place in racing history. We will have all the build up to this years event including the results from those important Arc trial races, trends, tips, latest odds and all of those offers from the bookmakers to help you get the most out of the best middle distance race in Europe.

Substance Abuse and Addiction Health Center
Trauma Doctors Bring Attention to Crash Victims' Drinking
The study by Sommers and her colleagues at the colleges of nursing and medicine at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, involved interviews with 132 binge drinkers, ages 18 to 45, who were hospitalized as a result of alcohol-related car crashes. The hospitalized patients were asked, "To what extent do you believe your alcohol consumption was responsible for this injury?" Responses were measured on a seven-point scale, ranging from one (not at all), to seven (totally). Close to 38% of those questioned answered "not at all," about 26% answered "somewhat," and approximately 38% responded "mostly" or "totally."
"Persons who have recently been hospitalized for an alcohol-related MVC may be open to changing their drinking behavior because they are in a state of crisis," explains Sommers. "During times of crisis, people are faced with the choice of developing new coping mechanisms which may either be adaptive or maladaptive. Prompt intervention by a health professional can not only prevent serious long-term disability, but can also motivate patients to move to a higher level of functioning."
Unfortunately, most trauma care professionals are jaded, says Sommers, and do not intervene to change drinking patterns of patients because they "consider such interventions futile," having treated patients who continue to drink and drive despite repeated alcohol-related accidents.
"The results of this study," continues Sommers, "indicate that a large proportion, more than 60%, of non-alcohol-dependent patients injured in vehicular crashes, do indeed realize that their injury partially or totally was due to the use of alcohol. These patients may be willing, and perhaps even eager, to change their drinking patterns to remain injury-free in the future."
Michael Fleming, MD, a professor of family medicine at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, warns that "interventional studies to determine whether trauma specialists can help patients change this type of behavior have, in the past, not been too successful."
Another physician, Susan Nedza, MD, chairwoman of the blood-alcohol reporting task force of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), characterizes the study as "excellent."

For equipment like SOHO networking devices (think Linksys/Netgear/etc) or other devices that don't really have SNMP support...is there a way to figure out port utilization % and other stats like packets/sec, etc.?
I was thinking maybe something like port mirroring might work but not sure how I'd accomplish this if I only had the single Linksys router or similar that didn't support port mirroring.
I don't want to have something sitting between the router/switch and the "other end" either...I would rather it be "non-intrusive" from a physical standpoint.
So, is there any way I can accomplish this?

I just installed this plugin [wp-super-cache], and pretty much immediately my memory usage on my vps went way up. Will this drop down? Also, Im not sure what to set my expiry time to, since my site has a lot of comments(if that matters?).
I just installed this plugin [wp-super-cache], and pretty much immediately my memory usage on my vps went way up. Will this drop down? Also, Im not sure what to set my expiry time to, since my site has a lot of comments(if that matters?).
> I just installed this plugin
There are a lot of plugins for WordPress. Which plugin are you referring to?
this is what it did to my memory, the orange line:
I deactivated it within an hour or so because it was crashing my server(which was maxed out BTW)
igneous, whatever happened with this?
I gave up on it and ended up using 1 Blog Cacher plugin instead. Its the only cache plugin that I can use that won't crash my server. I would highly suggest it to anyone:
well, i don't have an answer right now. But wordpress + plugins is a memory nightmare.
A quick test from a blog not even live yet. I've got cforms, podpress, syndicate and a couple custom plugins enabled.
The real culprit behind wordpress memory issue looks to be the options table. WordPress immediately loads all options into a global options array. (just put die(print_r($GLOBALS)) in an init hook of a plugin)
So i did the following test.
index.php i did an echo memory_get_usage();
then in my init hook of a custom plugin I repeated the echo and then threw a die() so I would see the results.
Before wordpress starts. php prints ~50kb of memory used. after the init is done, php is using 10mb of memory!
Now this is with those plugins setup. I've got 5 forms setup in cforms. It looks like a design problem in the allowed usage of the options table. cform puts all its configured tables into the options table. This is really bad. While it might be ok for a site with very little traffic, its death if you get any decent traffic.
Also keep in mind, that was just in the init hook. wordpress hadn't even looked up categories and posts yet.
If none of these cache plugins takeover before wordpress loads options, then they won't save any memory.
To harp a little more on the memory. That means php will load 10mb+ of memory into the apache process. I'm not gonna go deep into apache processes, but if you have high traffic, you might have over 80 processes running for apache. Each "live" process will expand its memory need and keep that memory until it dies. so if php demands more memory, that process will keep that memory for its life cycle.
I'll be looking into this in the coming weeks as I have a new client who gets 50k hits a day on his blog and this memory issues is really killing his server.
some more tests to run would be a default wp install and see what its base memory needs are. I really am beginning to feel that the wordpress devs should start educating their users on this. They could curve some of this by guiding plugin authors to not use the options table and keep their own options in their own table and not to load them in globals.
Wanted to share these finds with you.
best of luck, I'll try and remember to post my findings if I can solve this.
Any word on this?
I run minimal plug-ins, tried wp-cache and wp-super-cache, and still my blog crashes and requires a server restart on an almost daily basis. While my blog gets decent traffic, it's by no means enough to crash a server that has only my site on it, and 2GB of memory in the box.
Unfortunately some plugins do chew up memory. WP Super Cache needs as much memory as the length of the current page because it stores a copy of the page and also compresses it too so the compresses page has to be stored somewhere too.
Some plugin authors really haven't a clue unfortunately about making their plugins scalable.
igneous - I just figured out how 1blogcacher works: when the plugin sees a request for an uncached page it sends a request to your server for the exact same page and then caches that page.
Check your access logs, do you have entries with a user agent starting with "1 Blog Cacher"? Those are the plugin requesting the same page again. That could skew your stats!

Sam Hinkie owned Thursday's trade deadline and the 76ers general manager will likely stake ownership of the June 26 NBA draft.
The Sixers made four trades, dealing Spencer Hawes, Evan Turner, and Lavoy Allen and acquiring Danny Granger from Indiana, BJ Mullens (L.A. Clippers), Earl Clark, and Henry Sims (Cleveland), and Eric Maynor (Washington). Clark has since been waived.
The Sixers acquired the following second-round picks - Cleveland's and Memphis' in 2014, Golden State's (2015), New Orleans' (2015), Denver's (2016), and the L.A. Clippers' (2018).
"We are trying to acquire things that will help us move forward and the net result of what happened [Thursday] is that we picked up six additional second-round picks, we gave nothing in return except the opportunity to use some of our cap space, which is part of the reason to put ourselves in a position to be flexible," Hinkie said during a Friday news conference at the Sixers practice facility.
