yes it is a multipart file. But the archive is not extracted to the given directory because of this error. Also can you tell me how to process each extracted file one at a time such that one file is extracted and its contents are processed for a regex than the next one is processed in similar fashion and so on instead of just extracting in a single go?

Mehndi is a temporary fashion item to skin decoration in Pakistan and South Asia. It became using as a fashionable trend in the Western countries in the late 1990s. There it is famous as tattoos techniques. Henna is typically applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals. It is usually drawn on the palms and under feet, where the color will be darkest.
Henna paste is usually applied on the skin using a plastic cone. The painted area is then wrapped with plastic to lock in body heat in creating a more intense color on the skin. The wrap should maintain from three to six hours or sometimes overnight and then removed. When first removed the henna design is pale to dark orange in color and gradually darkens through oxidation process over the course of 36 to 72 hours. The final color is reddish brown and can last anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the quality and type of henna.
It is also used as a natural hair treatment. It is a strong and a good one alternative of hair dyes available in market which contains chemicals that actually damaged hair if think about long run results. One should be careful in selecting henna, must avoid packed or branded henna because it also contain chemicals to enhance color quality.

About this project
PIECE - Change The Way You Use Smart Phones
Carrying two phones is not convenient! It is not fashionable or stylish; it costs a lot and is a waste of space.That's why we created PIECE!! PIECE is the future of Dual SIM technology. It is a tiny companion device that holds any GSM, EGSM, DCS, or PCS card, allowing you to add an extra number to your existing smart device via bluetooth. It is designed to fit in your wallet, front pocket, or behind your phone easily. PIECE is so small that it is only the size of a CREDIT CARD! That's why we like to call it, "The Next Small Thing"
The design of PIECE is simple and match your phone nicely.
It designed to be super slim, and easily fit in your wallet.
Long lasting battery which can provide up to 150 hours stand by time, so you only have to charge PIECE once a while.
Insert you working number in PIECE, and start making phone calls and text messages. Enjoy your day with only one phone.
PIECE is compatible with almost all of the IOS device via Bluetooth.
iOS and Android Compatible - With the stretch goal reached! PIECE is now smart device friendly
「PIECE」--iPod touchにも対応
This credit card-sized Bluetooth device gives your phone a second number
The PIECE is an innovative and multi functional SIM adapter that is the same size as a credit card
아이팟 터치를 전화기로 바꿔보자
香港團隊設計!PIECE SIM 卡轉插器可將 iPad 及 iPod touch 變成智能手機
A special iOS app lets you manage the Piece SIM, turning your iPhone in a dual SIM device.
Now you can have two number active at the same time. Simply put your other number into PIECE and using Bluetooth connect to your phone. Both numbers can now be used on your one and only phone.
Matching your phone in style! We build 2 standard colors for you to match your phone, so you can wear PIECE with style and become a conversation starter with your friends
Not just a SIM card adapter, PIECE is also a security alert for your wallet. If you and PIECE are separated by more than 10m (30feet), both your phone and PIECE will ring to prevent it from being lost or stolen
Can't find your wallet in your room or in a car? No worries, we got you covered! By using the PIECE app you can make PIECE ring. From now on finding your wallet is super simple.

With PIECE, you can even turn your non-cellular smart device into your cell phone. Simply download the PIECE app, now your iPod can be used as a smartphone!
Of course! We have iPad users in mind
If you only want to carry your iPad on the go, before PIECE you would be unable to make phone calls. With PIECE we solve this problem! Download the app and your iPad can also turn into your smartphone!
When we designed PIECE, we only had one thing on our mind - creating the "next small thing" for user experience. We were challenged with designing a double Sim solution for a smart phone while keeping a VERY compact size. The process was amazing and our final product makes us proud! From technologies to research to batteries, designing PIECE has been a journey. We spent months choosing suitable materials for making a thin, lightweight product. With your help, we hope to bring PIECE to life in the very near future.

Risks and challenges
We have worked extremely hard over the last months to deliver a product you will love and we can be proud of. As this is our second time launching a product on Kickstarter, issues should also be minimal.
The Main Challenges Ahead:
Creating PIECE requires engineering a complex system. To make sure we get this right, we have assembled an experienced team of engineers and designers. We have already built two generations of prototypes. Currently, we are producing the first batch to test with users.
Taking prototypes to mass production involves sophisticated logistics and relationships with suppliers. To minimize these risks, we have been negotiating with suppliers (including backup suppliers), testing component quality, and building a team that can execute on our promises. Our plans are nearly in place, and we require the resources to ensure we achieve this.

When photographer James Mollison was asked to do a project on children's rights, he found himself thinking back to his childhood bedroom and the deep importance it played in his upbringing.
Taking that idea with him around the world, he photographed a diverse cross section of children and the bedrooms they call home. His moving images remove the children from their home environment, showing them before a neutral background that mostly hides their economic status as if to say "kids are just kids." Only when their bedroom is observed, however, does the full scope of their living situation become poiniently clear.

I distinctly remember looking out my window one Christmas Eve and convincing myself I saw a red light shooting across the sky. Rudolph, obviously.
As can be seen in the photo above, my visits to Santa were all business. He spoiled me. And I loved it. So this Christmas, in honor of the jolly old man in red, I'm recounting my top 10 Christmas gifts. Thanks for the good times, Saint Nick. And thanks to Ricky and Patti Long, my favorite elves who helped out.10. Portable DVD player
I was absolutely useless the Christmas that I got this electronic device. I sat in that red chair and watched the two DVDs I owned (Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality) all day. Shameful confession: I never read the instructions and thought the DVD player always had to be plugged into an outlet. Two years later I discovered a battery in the original box. It broke a few months later. Whoops.
9. The Blind Guy
If you aren't familiar with the Blind Guy's background story, check this post. For those of you who are familiar, here are the photos to prove my fascination with this man and his entertaining facial expressions. Thank you, Ricky, for giving me a framed pic to forever immortalize the 2000 election and the celebrity it created.
8. Beanie Babies
PURE JOY. That's what I felt every time I opened a new beanie. I got the Princess Diana bear (a rare collector's beanie, hence the plastic display box) for my birthday one year and thought I was SUCH a big deal. Where is the bear now? I have no idea. I would hope somewhere buried in the giant box of beanies I unearthed last week. But man, that purple bag of beans was practically pure gold way back when.
7. The Josh Tape
Oh the Josh tape. I had everything from SNL hosting gigs to appearances on Letterman to 30-second stories on Entertainment Tonight to 2-second glimpses on red carpet specials. All focused on the love of my tween years: Josh Hartnett. And then...the unthinkable...I LOST THE JOSH TAPE. I had feebly given up after months and months (possibly years?) of searching. Luckily my mom found the tape right around Christmas and decided to wrap it up as a gift. As you can see, I was elated to have the Josh tape back in my possession. And yes, for those of you who are wondering, the Josh tape still lives on today.
This is the trunk I packed in every year for summer camp. Apparently I just couldn't leave anything untouched by Josh mania. Yep, even my summer camp was aware of my Josh Hartnett obsession. What I love most about this embarrassing example of my middle-aged years is that I thought this piece of artistry was so beautiful that it warranted photo documentation. Reason #340598709345 that a good chunk of the people I met during middle school will always remember me as the girl who was obsessed with Josh Hartnett.
6. iPod
This was back before iPods had become microscopic. For my first ever iPod, Santa brought me an old school mini (which was new school at the time). My light blue mini is now about 10x the size and weight of what Apple is currently marketing as the latest in iPod technology. However, this antique is still truckin' along! It has now been promoted to the position of my official "Christmas iPod" and holds all 362 of my Christmas songs. It's my top music source October through December!
5. Moon Shoes
Unfortunately for me and for you, I can't find a picture of me in my moon shoes. I'm pretty sure I looked just as skilled and awesome as this girl whenever I put those things on, though. For those of you who have never experienced the magic of moon shoes, allow me to explain. Basically you strap these bad boys on your feet and have an experience as close to walking on the moon as you'll ever get (unless you decide to go walk on the actual moon, which I would guess is pretty unlikely). Magical. This form of entertainment could usually only last about three minutes, but it was a GREAT three minutes.
4. The Mini Pool Table
I think this gift was originally intended only for my brother Stephen, but all three of the Long kids claimed it. Not a fan of pool? Not a problem. You could convert this gaming mecca into a ping pong table or or an air hockey table (minus the actual air part). Hours of entertainment. Our oober cool Uncle Jeff (the only of my mom's three brothers who was still single at this time and came to spend Christmas with us every year until he met his darling wife) even took the time to give us all lessons on the basics of pool strategy. What a guy! Unfortunately I think my initial learning of pool in mini-form stunted the maturing of my pool skills seeing as how I'm a completely miserable pool player in the full-sized pool table world.
3. Pogo Stick
I may not look happy in this pic, but it's just because I'm in the zone. The pogo zone, that is. Patti Long disagrees with me, but I'm pretty sure I once pogoed up to 500 times. We're talking 30+ minutes of consistent pogo. I was the pogo master. This year I tried to revive my pogo skills when I borrowed a family friend's pogo stick. I jumped three(ish) times then fell into a chair. Apparently I am the pogo master no more.
2. Jack Rabbit
My sister got her feelings hurt this particular Christmas morning because she thought Jack Rabbit belonged to all of us. No ma'am! He was all MINE! I was the cool kid who took her rabbit on walks. Jack had his own leash (sorry I don't have any photo documentation of that; it looked as ridiculous as you're thinking) that he would usually put up with until we made it to my next door neighbor's yard. As soon as we passed the boundary into their grass, he would start jumping spastically all over the place until I took him back home. Despite this fact, I kept trying to "walk" my rabbit. And I was completely oblivious of how ridiculous I looked. As I grew older I had less time to care for my little bunny. Since he wasn't getting the attention he deserved, I gave him away to a 3rd grade classroom. As far as I'm concerned, Jack is still alive. That's the best thing about my rabbit: he's an immortal like Zeus or Hercules. Long live Jack the rabbit!!!
White Christmases aren't the norm in Tulsa, OK but when they do happen they're absolutely fab-u-lous.
I must take a moment to recount The Great Christmas Snow of 2009. It was a great snow, but it was A LOT of snow. My stubborn sister (gotta lover her!) insisted that she was going to church with or without the rest of the family even though a snow storm was supposed to hit while we were in church. So we all went, but we were NOT happy about it. The candlelight service, as always, was lovely. It was so lovely that the other four members of the Long family (keeping the Christmas spirit alive) forgot how mad/frustrated/annoyed we were with Carolyn for dragging us there. We pleasantly chatted after church for a bit until my brother came running up to inform everyone that we needed to leave. NOW. I walked outside and was greeted by a BLIZZARD. A blizzard by my Tulsan standards, at least. There was not a single flake on the ground when we went into church, and when we came out of church there was not a speck of ground without a flake.
Our car was in covered parking, but there was still snow everywhere. The boys removed said snow and we booked it out of the parking lot before things could get worse. We were doomed right from the start. Two minutes into the drive, the boys had to get out and dust the snow off the car again. Why couldn't the windshield wipers do that? Because the windshield wipers kept freezing. Excellent. The first road we tried to take was already closed so we turned around and tried another. The boys continued to get out of the car every few minutes to whack the ice off the windshield wipers and de-snow the car as we slowly made our way to road #2. Our cheerful Christmas moods quickly turned sour. We all coped with this in different ways. I berated Carolyn and blamed our turmoil on her. My brother and dad were silent (mostly due to the fact that they were rarely actually inside the car, so they didn't have many opportunities to yell). My mom yelled at me for yelling at Carolyn. Just one big happy family!
We finally made it to road #2. There was a hill we had to go up. It was a BIG hill. And there were already at least five other cars stuck on said hill in front of us. We went up a distance. Got stuck. Helped the lady in front of us who was stuck. She got stuck again. We got stuck again. My dad starting brainstorming hotels we could stay at that were close and then suggested that we walk four miles home (the women in the car quickly shot this option down). Our Christmas spirits drained, we decided it was every man for himself and pushed our car past the woman we had been helping. Somehow our Toyota Camry was the first car to make it to the top of the hill (yes, ahead of all the four-wheel drive vehicles). There was a brief moment when we all cheered and yelled to celebrate our accomplishment. Then eight sets of headlights come into focus in front of us. We had failed to realize that on the other side of the hill, there were most likely other cars trying to make it to the hill's peak. There are normally only four lanes on this road, but on this snowy night the cars on the other side of the hill had decided to make eight lanes. Leaving our lane options at...zero. I don't really remember how we got home. I just remember that we were all really quiet and tense. And that we were in the car for a very long time. An hour and a half after we left church (it usually takes us 15 minutes to get there), we FINALLY made it home. And then, of course, the car got stuck in the driveway. Needless to say, snow was much more fun on Christmas morning than on Christmas Eve night in 2009.
One last honorable mention:
This Christmas I only asked for two things: a plane ticket to New York City and new tights. I figured the tights were a sure thing, but the plane ticket was a little less sure. I burst into tears when my favorite elf, Ricky, presented me with a map of the U.S. that had arrows pointing from Fort Worth to NYC and an attached flight itinerary. Jackpot! Santa continues to spoil me even when I'm on the cusp of adulthood!
To close this post, I'd like to direct your attention to this precious photo of my family putting up the Christmas tree. Really, my favorite thing about Christmas isn't the presents (no offense, Santa). It's hanging out with these weirdies. Cliche? Yes. Still true? Absolutely.
Wishing you the merriest of Christmases spent enjoying the loot Santa brought you with the people you love!

Farm Bureau Asks Court to Block Federal Overreach on Sage Grouse Preservation
WASHINGTON– The American Farm Bureau Federation and Utah Farm Bureau Federation have asked a federal district court in Utah to overturn a host of illegal land-use restrictions hampering ranchers in the western states. The groups made the request as part of a motion to intervene on the side of the State of Utah in a lawsuit against the federal government. The litigation challenges federal land management plans imposing restrictions on ranching and other human activities in Utah as part of a larger effort to manage federal lands for species protection rather than for "multiple uses" as required by law.
In papers filed Tuesday, the Farm Bureau organizations asked the U.S. Court for the District of Utah to find that the federal government broke the law when it drew up rules designed to protect the habitat of the Greater Sage Grouse. Among other things, the complaint alleges that the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service ignored numerous congressional mandates designed to ensure transparency and management of federal lands for multiple uses and sustained yields. The suit cites violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the National Forest Management Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
"Ranchers have long used federal lands for grazing," AFBF President Zippy Duvall said. "And all that time, ranchers have been at the forefront of protecting forage and water resources so that wildlife and ranching can thrive together. These plans, however, hang ranchers out to dry in the drought. Western ranchers have faced continued threats to their water rights and reductions in their ability to graze livestock on federal lands. We have to intervene now to preserve our ranches and our way of life."

Photographer Nick Ballon has shot a lovely film to promote Crane cookwear at its 175 year-old foundry in France –made all the better by a great soundtrack
Ballon's work will be familiar to regular CR readers – his projects have regularly appeared in our Photography Annuals (our 2015 Photo Annual is open for entries here). For this project, Ballon shot both moving image and stills to show the processes and people that create Crane's pots and pans. The score, by Beatrice Dillon and Rupert Clervaux of Have Music, adds an extra dimension, making a very welcome change from the lo-fi noodling that has become something of a clichéd feature of 'craft' documentaries.
<object width="550" height="309"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=133969292&color=ffffff&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&force_embed=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="https://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=133969292&color=ffffff&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&force_embed=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="550" height="309"></embed></object>
It's a typically sensitive bit of storytelling by Ballon, while the subject matter puts us in mind of another promotional film shot at the French factory of a cookwear brand – this classic bit of Tony Kaye madness from 1992, written by Antony Easton and Adam Kean.

It's a well-played out scene. The happy couple enter Ikea/John Lewis/Habitat/Heals (delete as appropriate) hand-in-hand with that "we're moving in together" look, only to explode a few hours later into a public display of vicious bickering over what colour the feature wall is meant to be or whether scatter cushions are really necessary.
Setting up home, whether it's moving, redecorating or renovating a property from scratch, is stressful enough when there's only one of you; add in your other half, complete with their own ideas of what your joint home should look like, and those stress levels risk going sky high.
"It's very important to remember that you're both after the same result: a beautiful home that meets your needs and inspires you," says Heather Jenkinson, an interior designer based in London, who says she often steps in as the linchpin between arguing couples who have hired her creative expertise. "Once you divert the energy away from who's winning or losing the argument, to how you can make it work together, then you have progress."
Jenkinson says the key to couples keeping arguments at bay when it comes to decorating decisions is to make sure you both voice your opinions on what you would and wouldn't like, and compromise, so you each get a chance to inject your individual styles in different parts of your home. Luckily my own experience of merging two styles into one home has been without complication (so far) – my fiancé trusts my judgement and we appear to share similar tastes that haven't clashed (yet).
But while he's expressed relief that he can confidently trust I won't cover our home in Cath Kidston florals, which we both loathe, he has still vetoed a few of my product selections (coloured glasses from Toast and, bizarrely, a simple wire letter holder from Rockett St George). Similarly, there's one or two things of his choice I've vetoed too – namely, a boring black coffee table which will be going on eBay soon.
But despite the coffee table debacle, we both have a say in what will go in our new home and nothing gets ordered without us agreeing on it first. So far, it seems to be working; battles on the style home front have been almost non- existent.
But for couples who just can't stand each other's design choices – what then?
Jenkinson says finding common ground in your dislikes is a winning way to stop arguing and lighten the mood (nothing brings a couple together like a collective session of taking the mick out of hideous things you'd both never buy). "Often, it's your dislikes that will unite you," she says. "Keep a sense of humour between you. A little bit of it goes a long way."
So how have three young couples kept the interior design peace?
Zoë & Neil Pearson
If ever there was an example of a couple living in stylistic peace, it would be the Pearsons. They married earlier this year and now live in a two-bed tenement flat in Edinburgh. "In our first flat, we never really discussed a look; we just moved everything we owned in and tried to work it out from there," explains Zoë, 33. "In our current flat, we did discuss it more. We knew we wanted it to look happy."
After six years of living together, the couple say they are more in-tune with what the other likes, so there are few disagreements. "Neil tends to go with the flow and trusts me when I make suggestions. If he really doesn't like something, then I listen to him and usually we end up with a solution that was better than the original idea."
Neil's laid-back attitude has given Zoë free reign to be creative as he rarely dislikes her choices. "I'm quite passive in my design style, but I'm very clear about what I don't like," he says the 31-year-old. "I could never feel at home in a plain new build and Zoë will never run out of ideas to make our home a fun place to live. She has a great eye for colour."
"We just kind of get each other," says Zoë. "Our home feels like the two of us because we choose, alter or acquire things together." Neil agrees. "I don't really remember arguing over decorating. I generally go with what Zoë suggests; she has a great track record. If you look around our flat, everything is purely us."
Caroline Taylor & Simon Rowland
Caroline, 29, and Simon, 28, have been living together for six years and bought their first home, a two-bedroom flat in Kingston upon Thames, south-west London, two years ago. Their house purchase marked the first time the couple decorated together.
"There have been some tense moments," says Caroline, tactfully. "Let's just say wallpapering is never particularly fun..."
Simon politely agrees. "Caroline sees aesthetics. I see only practicalities. These two things don't always run in harmony. The problems that arise are comedy afterwards, but very much not so at the time. It usually involves me swearing a lot."
Caroline, who runs Patchwork Harmony, an online vintage home accessories store, has a natural inclination for all things vintage.
For Simon, there have been times when the vintage look has been taken too far. "I can't really handle things which have been made to look older than they are are," he says.
The couple say their style is generally compatible, but Caroline did put her foot down as far as Simon's bikes were concerned. "There was talk of Simon mounting one on the wall," she says. But for Simon it was a losing battle. "My bikes now live in the cupboard," he says.
Aisling & Philip Alsopp
Newly married couple Aisling and Philip bought a two-bed cottage in the small Berkshire village of Kingsclere two years ago. "We'd spent 18 months renting a bachelor pad and we'd had enough. We both agreed we wanted beams, sash windows and a home with a story to tell," says Aisling, 24.
But while they both agreed on the style of property, their ideas of what should go inside differed dramatically.
"I love mismatched vintage, Laura Ashley and patchwork quilts; a chunky kitchen table with bare floorboards and ragged rugs" says Aisling. "But Philip is into tidiness. He thinks everything should have its place.
Philip, 29, describes his look as "cohesive". "I like things to match. I do like the country look, but I'm a fan of minimal styles, too. Aisling's lack of visual tidiness drives me insane."
Living with Aisling's more feminine style has taken its toll on Philip. "I had to draw the line at the pink floral curtains for the bedroom," he says. "But then I had to get rid of most of my 'man' furniture."
While the Alsopps don't necessarily always like each other's choices, both appreciate that the other has some taste. "Don't tell him I said this, but Philip is quite stylish," says Aisling. "He might not be creative, but he understands the shape of a room instinctively so he knows exactly where certain pieces of furniture will work."
Meanwhile, Philip admits a soft spot for Aisling's free-flowing style. "Although I threaten divorce every time Aisling adds a cushion, she has an eye for tiny details - and it's those tiny details that make the difference."

It will need some welding, yes. Depends what you class as "a lot". As Mk1 Trannies go I don't think it's bad. Cab steps etc. are all solid - have been welded up in the past but holding together OK for now. What welding I've found will be on outriggers/front crossmember etc. - the usual Tranny places that even my 1993 Mk3 needed patching up for its ticket. What are the Transit forum people basing their comments on? Do they know the van from elsewhere or are they just reading my listing and fearing the worst?Hadnt realised the Transit was yours -they are talking about it on the Ford Transit Owners Forum -as 'Daisy'.I could use a camper -how bad is it -they are suggesting it needs a lot of welding....

It's not you that's the arsehole though, is it? If I were you I'd dream up some "small print" that was designed to show that I wouldn't take any s**t. It won't put all the muppets off but hopefully it'll make them think twice.I'm thinking of adding a bit on the bottom stating that any timewasters this time round will find themselves subjected to a Bickle-esque round of legal proceedings, but I'm worried that this will make me sound like an arsehole.

Nope. I think the way I phrased that paragraph was a bit unfortunate. Your name was only mentioned because you're the only person I know who has successfully taken court action against eBay idiots. What I was saying was that if I include threats of legal action and other dire consequences in the auction wording it's probably going to put a lot of people off as it makes the whole tone of the thing rather unpleasant. It certainly makes me think twice when I look at a car that has that kind of thing in the listing as it makes me wonder whether the seller is going to be the kind of person who is going to insist on seeing two forms of photo ID and proof of address before he lets me take the car, or is going to refuse to let me leave because I have a brake light out on the trailer. Most of them are probably not like that at all - they're probably just fed up with muppets like everyone else is - but it does make you wonder. When you sell stuff on eBay do you put that kind of warning in the auction wording or do you wait until your time is wasted and then threaten action? The problem I have is that I want to deter messers but without putting off genuine bidders, and I'm not sure how best to go about that.I do hope you're not calling me an Arsehole?

See that's the kind of seller I wish I got to deal with more often. There have been a couple like that, but there have been many more who have suddenly decided (after the auction ended and with no mention of anything in the wording) that the car needs to be picked up from the other side of the country within two days or something equally ridiculous. If there is nothing in the listing about the car needing to be moved urgently and if the car is not local to me (which most of them aren't), I feel a fortnight is a quite reasonable time period to allow for collection - Saturdays are the only days I can really "do" collection missions (with driveable stuff at least) as I'm at work all week and on Sundays the trains round here are a joke. I'd be a bit worried about waiting ten days for contact though - I like to hear something within three days, even if it's just a quick email to say "hi, I've bought your car, I'll get back to you when I know when I can collect it". No point being too impatient though - I've had several sellers email me four or five times within 24 hours of the auction ending saying "Why haven't you emailed me yet?" (erm, because I've been at work...), and such transactions almost invariably turn sour. When I'm selling, I don't mind waiting for collection (I stored the Lancia Gamma I'd sold for three months free of charge, and eventually had to deliver it at cost to the buyer in London as he couldn't get a trailer sorted) and I tend to expect sellers to be the same way with me, unless they have a good reason for the car needing to be moved quickly and they say so in the listing (as I did with the DS).And yes, you're right, most people are decent and sensible - the vast majority of cars I've sold on eBay have gone without a hitch, even the ones I've been a bit dubious about (e.g. the bloke who came from West Wales for £180-worth of A40 Farina, or the chap who flew over from Germany to buy my clapped out diesel Range Rover. Or the rather odd gentleman from Cornwall who bought my Commer Walkthrough burger van and then drove it back 420 miles through the night (at its top speed of 49mph) with his mate sleeping in the back).So anyway, I'll take your advice and not say anything about legal proceedings in the listing. If the DS doesn't sell this time I'll have to get it transported down from my mate's and evict the Carlton from the driveway to make room for it. Then I'll have all the time in the world to take whatever action is necessary.Oh, and buy that Goëlette. You know you want to...Most people are decent and sensible. Thats the way I see it. So my listings just ask for contact within 10 days, collection within 21 -unless we make PRIOR alternative arrangements.
Posted 13 November 2007 - 02:11 PM
Yup, I tend to do that as well - I tend to list every single issue I can think of, even with a car that's sold as a resto project, just to be on the safe side. Even then I miss the odd thing - like the chap who bought my Daf and found that the nearside inner sill had more or less dissolved in the time it'd been sat on my car park, but he was very reasonable about it and I think we agreed to knock £30 off the price of the car, which seemed fair to me. Then of course there was the German gent who bid on my Rayton which had the words "needs lots of welding" in at least two places on the listing, but who hadn't understood that this meant it would be quite rusty. To be fair to him though I think this was more a result of his poor English than anything else - he did make the effort to drive over all the way from Germany after all. Other than that though I've rarely had any problems, and my buyers usually seem happy enough.304 is running absolutely fine. Only problem I've found with it thus far is the wiper linkage - you remember how the driver's side wiper parked halfway up the screen? Well it turns out this is the only way it'll clear the screen all the way to the edge - I adjusted the arm so that it parked at a more sensible angle and it now misses the right-most five inches of the screen altogether. Not sure why - there doesn't seem to be any slop in the linkage, so maybe it's had a replacement motor at some stage which isn't quite right for the car. The only other thing is that that huge pop-up fresh air vent in the top of the dash doesn't quite seal properly, so when you're driving at over 60 in cold weather you get a cold draught coming through which the heater can only just keep up with. Apart from that I'm loving it. It's just sooo comfortable (might be less so in the summer though when all that brown vinyl gets the sun on it) and it handles surprisingly well. And then there's all that extra tax...My descriptions do tend to go to town and I wonder by showing every single fault and defect (I am a picky bugger) if I get less money than the "CAR IS EXCELANT CALL GAZ FOR MOR DETAILS" one-line-and-crappy-pictures merchants. But such is life.How's the 304 going?

What happened to the Rayton in the end then?Then of course there was the German gent who bid on my Rayton which had the words "needs lots of welding" in at least two places on the listing, but who hadn't understood that this meant it would be quite rusty.

Went to a bloke from down your way. He towed it home on an A frame behind his 30' GMC coachbuilt camper van. He seemed happy enough with it. Going to use it as a tow vehicle, apparently.What happened to the Rayton in the end then?

Half the public believe they will have to pay directly towards their NHS treatment within a decade, a survey by the British Medical Association reveals.
The findings of the poll show that, on the NHS's 60th anniversary, public confidence in the Government's ability to sustain it as a comprehensive, free and universal service has sunk to a new low. Some 93 per cent of those surveyed believe the NHS should continue to be funded from taxes and remain free at the point of use.
The results were released by the BMA on the eve ofits annual conference in Edinburgh, which is expected to hear fierce criticism of the Government's handling of the NHS.
Doctors' leaders have clashed with ministers over extended opening hours for GPs, driven through in the face of widespread opposition from the profession, and the introduction of multi-GP "polyclinics", which are to be rolled out across London from next year.
The BMA poll findings reflect growing public pessimism about the wider economy and the impact of the global slowdown on the NHS. After five years of record growth from 2002 to 2007 averaging 7 per cent a year in real terms, the NHS's growth rate this year almost halved to just over 4 per cent.
Costs are increasing with a dozen new cancer drugs priced at up to £100,000 per patient per year in development. Although the NHS has built up a surplus expected to exceed £1bn in 2008-09, health economists say it will not be enough.
A spokeswoman for the BMA said the poll findings "illustrate people's fears for the NHS" in the wake of last week's review by Lord Darzi, which focused on improving quality by measuring outcomes of treatment and linking patient's opinions about their care to funding for hospitals and GPs.
"The BMA is in favour of much of what Lord Darzi recommended but there is scepticism that it is any more than fine words. It is high-level, aspirational stuff," said the spokeswoman.
The conference is due to debate proposals for "top-up" payments which would allow patients to pay separately for treatments not available on the NHS without losing their entitlement to NHS care. Under existing rules, NHS patients are banned from topping up their NHS treatment by paying privately for extra treatments but the Government announced a review of the ban last month, by the national cancer director, Mike Richards, who is due to report in the autumn.
The issue has become a touchstone for the NHS, highlighting the tension between cost pressures and economic realities.
Supporters of top-up payments point to the treatment of infertility where couples receiving IVF mostly pay privately but are not thereby debarred from NHS care during the subsequent pregnancy and delivery.
Opponents – who included the Health Secretary, Alan Johnson – say allowing top-up payments would introduce a two-tier service, with the best care available only to those who are able to pay.
This would create a new market for the private health insurance industry, offering policies to cover treatments not available on the NHS. Western Provident Association, a private health insurer, currently offers a policy covering the cost of licensed cancer drugs prescribed by a consultant but which are not funded by the NHS for a premium of £1 a week.

© 2010 Alan S. Berger1 Sociology: The systematic study of the relationship between the individual and society and of the consequences of different types of relationships. What Is Sociology?
© 2006 Alan S. Berger2 What Is Sociology? Sociology Focuses on: –How social relationships influence people's attitudes and behavior –How major social institutions affect us –How we affect other individuals, groups, and organizations
© 2010 Alan S. Berger3 The Sociological Perspective The sociological perspective helps us to see general social patterns in the behavior of particular individuals. It allows or forces us to look beyond the outer appearances of our social world and discover new levels of reality It also encourages us to realize that society guides our thoughts and deeds — to see the strange in the familiar Sociology also encourages us to see individuality in social context.
© 2010 Alan S. Berger The sociological imagination provides the ability to see our private experiences and personal difficulties as entwined with the structural arrangements of our society and the times in which we live. Understand social marginality, the state of being excluded from social activity as an "outsider." People at the margins of social life are aware of social patterns that others rarely think about C. Wright Mills described sociological imagination as "An awareness of the relationship between an individual and the wider society, and …the ability to view our society as an outsider might, rather than relying only on our individual perspective, which is shaped by our cultural biases" The Sociological Imagination 4
© 2010 Alan S. Berger5 Benefits of the sociological perspective The sociological perspective helps us assess the truth of "common sense." The sociological perspective helps us assess both opportunities and constraints in our lives. The sociological perspective empowers us to be active participants in our society. The sociological perspective helps us to live in a diverse world. It also encourages us to realize that society guides our thoughts and deeds — to see the strange in the familiar
© 2010 Alan S. Berger6 The Origins of Sociology Three major social changes during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are important to the development of sociology. The rise of a factory-based industrial economy. The emergence of great cities in Europe. Political changes, including a rising concern with individual liberty and rights. The French Revolution symbolized this dramatic break with political and social tradition.
Founders of Sociology Aguste Comte –System of Positive Polity, or Treatise on Sociology, Instituting the Religion of Humanity. Emile Durkheim –The Division of Labor in Society –The Elementary Forms of Religious Life –Suicide Karl Marx –Das Kapital Max Weber –The Protestant Ethic and the Rise of Capitalism –The Sociology of Religion –The theory of Social and Economic organization © 2010 Alan S. Berger7
8 Aguste Comte Auguste Comte: Lived 1798-1857 Believed that the major goal of sociology was to understand society as it actually operates. Comte favored positivism—a way of understanding based on science. Comte saw sociology as the product of a three-stage historical development: The theological stage, in which thought was guided by religion. The metaphysical stage, a transitional phase. The scientific stage
© 2010 Alan S. Berger9 Emile Durkheim Lived 1858-1917 Influential French sociologist, educator, and public official Studied the ties that bind society together Mechanical solidarity –Traditional societies are united by social similarities Organic solidarity –Modern societies are united by interdependence Anomie –Rapid social change leads to loss of social norms and produces many social problems
© 2006 Alan S. Berger10 Karl Marx Lived 1818-1883 German philosopher Writer and social critic Personally involved in social change Believed social scientists should help to improve society Struggle between owners and workers Capitalist owners will oppress ordinary people Eventually, people become alienated People lose control over their lives
© 2010 Alan S. Berger 11 Max Weber Lived 1864-1920 German scholar who studied wide variety of topics Like other peers, he studied the impact of industrialization on peoples' lives Support for value free studies and objective research Rationalization –Traditional societies emphasize emotion and personal ties –Modern societies emphasize calculation, efficiency, self control –Personal ties decline and people become "disenchanted"
© 2010 Alan S. Berger12 Marx, Durkheim, and Weber Compared How is life treating you? –Marx's alienated person I really don't care (because I'm detached from my work and from other people). –Durkheim's anomic person I'm distressed by it (because there are no common rules or norms to guide me). –Weber's rational person Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you later (because I need to make some calculations before I know how to answer).
© 2006 Alan S. Berger13 Other Important Founders 2. Harriet Martineau: Feminist and Methodologist Studied social life in Britain and US, translated Comte. Studied the impact of inequality 3.Herbert Spencer and Social Darwinism An evolutionary model of society, known for "social Darwinism" but thought that attempts at social reform were wrong.
© 2006 Alan S. Berger14 American Sociology 1 In the United States, sociology and the modern university system rose together. Early American sociology was optimistic, forward- looking, and rooted in a belief in progress, the value of individual freedom and welfare 2. An exception to such optimism is the work of W.E.B. DuBois, who took sociology out of the ivory tower and did investigative fieldwork. 3. Contributions of considerable significance to sociology were also made by sociologists at the University of Chicago, where the first department of sociology in the United States was established in 1892. Dominated sociology for the first half of the 20th century Noted for study of urban problems and cities
© 2010 Alan S. Berger15 W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) Early American Sociologists –Combined emphasis on analysis of everyday lived experience with commitment to investigating power and inequality based on race –Revealed social processes that contributed to maintenance of racial separation
© 2010 Alan S. Berger16 Early American Sociologists Ida Wells-Barnett (1862–1931) –An early feminist –Argued that societies can be judged on whether the principles they claim to believe in match their actions –Used her analysis of society to resist oppression
© 2010 Alan S. Berger 17 Sociological Theory A theory is a statement of how and why specific facts are related. The goal of sociological theory is to explain social behavior in the real world. @Theories are based on theoretical paradigms, sets of assumptions that guide thinking and research. @Sociologists ask two basic questions: @ What issues should we study? @ How should we connect the facts? @I call this the plotting or outlining of how you want to tell the story of society. @In addition to the three perspectives today there are three ways of using the perspectives to look at social issues.
© 2010 Alan S. Berger18 Three general theoretical orientations or perspectives for the study of society Sociological Meta Theories –Structural-Functionalism perspective –Conflict perspective –Interactionist perspective
© 2006 Alan S. Berger19 The Structural-Functionalist Perspective Parts of a social system work together to maintain a balance –Functions are actions that have positive consequences –Dysfunctions are actions that have negative consequences –Manifest functions are intended –Latent functions are unintended
© 2010 Alan S. Berger20 Structural Functionalism ● The structural-functional theory is a framework for building theory that sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability. - It asserts that our lives are guided by social structures (relatively stable patterns of social behavior). - Each social structure has social functions, or consequences, for the operation of society as a whole. - Key figures in the development of this paradigm include Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim, Herbert Spencer, and Talcott Parsons and Robert Merton
Structural Functionalism ● Robert Merton introduced three concepts related to social function: manifest functions, the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern latent functions, largely unrecognized and unintended consequences and social dysfunctions, undesirable consequences of a social pattern for the operation of society. ● The influence of this paradigm has declined in recent decades. It focuses on stability, thereby ignoring inequalities of social class, race, and gender © 2006 Alan S. Berger21
© 2010 Alan S. Berger22 The Conflict Perspective Society is held together by who has power at a moment in time –Power allows some to dominate others –Dominance leads to conflict –Conflict and change are inevitable –Conflict holds society together as new alliances are formed and others fail
© 2010 Alan S. Berger23 Social Conflict ●The social-conflict paradigm is a framework for building theory that sees society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and change. -Most sociologists who favor the conflict paradigm attempt not only to understand society but also to reduce social inequality -Key figures in this tradition include Karl Marx, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Wright Mills ●This paradigm has developed rapidly in recent years. It has several weaknesses. - It ignores social unity based on mutual interdependence and shared values. - Because it is explicitly political, it cannot claim scientific objectivity. - Like the structural-functional paradigm, it envisions society in terms of broad abstractions.
© 2010 Alan S. Berger 24 The Symbolic Interaction Perspective Individuals construct the nature of their social world through social interaction –Social life is possible only because humans can communicate through symbols –All human communications take place through the perception and interpretation of symbols –How people define situations is important –There is a general consensus on how situations are defined –We do not respond directly to reality but to the symbolic meanings we attach to the real world
© 2006 Alan S. Berger25 Symbolic Interaction ● The symbolic-interaction paradigm is a framework for building theory that sees society as the product of the everyday interactions of individuals. –The structural-functional and the social-conflict paradigms share a macro-level orientation, meaning that they focus on broad social structures that shape society as a whole. In contrast, symbolic- interactionism has a micro-level orientation; it focuses on patterns of social interaction in specific settings. –Key figures in the development of this paradigm include –George Herbert Mead –Erving Goffman –George Homans –Peter Blau
Symbolic Interactionism Symbolic interactionism attempts to explain more clearly how individuals actually experience society. However, it has two weaknesses: Its micro-orientation sometimes results in the error of ignoring the influence of larger social structures. By emphasizing what is unique, it risks overlooking the effects of culture, class, gender, and race. © 2010 Alan S. Berger26
© 2006 Alan S. Berger27 Table 1.1 (p. 15) Comparison of Three Theoretical Perspectives
© 2010 Alan S. Berger28 Contemporary ways of applying sociological Perspectives ● Critical Theory which grew out of a dissatisfaction with 20th-century sociology in general and Marxism in particular ● Feminism intellectual movement in the humanities and social sciences that is having a profound impact on the nature and direction of sociology ● Postmodernism which expresses a deep distrust of science and the principle of objectivity. ● Today's leading theorists Talcott Parsons Robert Merton C. Wright Mills Paul Lazarsfeld
© 2010 Alan S. Berger29 Applying Paradigms of Sociology to Sports The functions of sports. A structural-functional approach directs attention to the ways sports help society to operate. Sports and conflict. A social-conflict analysis points out that sports are closely linked to social inequality. Sports as process. interaction. The symbolic-interaction paradigm sees sports less as a system than as an ongoing
© 2010 Alan S. Berger30 Sociology's Four Realms Basic Science –Expanding knowledge Critical Sociology –Debate, argument, and controversy Applied Research –Application of knowledge to real-world problems Public Activism –Working for social change
© 2006 Alan S. Berger31 Pursuing Social Change In early 1900s, many leading U.S. sociologists saw themselves as social reformers Early female sociologists took active roles in poor urban areas –Jane Addams (1860–1935) and Ida Wells- Barnett prevented racial segregation in Chicago public schools –W. E. B. Du Bois cofounded NAACP
© 2006 Alan S. Berger32 Applied sociology: use of the discipline of sociology with the intent of yielding practical applications for human behavior and organizations Practicing Sociology Clinical sociology: dedicated to facilitating change by altering social relationships or restructuring social institutions
© 2010 Alan S. Berger33 Globalization: worldwide integration of government policies, cultures, social movements, and financial markets through trade and the exchange of ideas –Our lives are more connected with and interdependent upon diverse groups of people Social problems must be addressed before they overwhelm the world Using the Sociological Imagination
