Jaroslav Karbaš (1. září 1930 Mrákotín – 23. prosince 2018 Žirovnice) byl český politik, bývalý poslanec České národní rady (1986–1990), dlouholetý člen KDU-ČSL. Ve šlépějích svého otce, vyučen k řeznickému řemeslu, působil jako řeznický mistr v Masném průmyslu Žirovnice. Byl činný také při obnově a záchraně kulturních památek, na jejichž záchraně se podílel zejména co se Pelhřimovského okresu týče.

Rodina a zájmy
Jaroslav Karbaš byl jediným synem Jaroslava Karbaše st. a Milady Karbašové, roz. Procházkové. Jaroslav Karbaš st. byl rovněž řeznickým mistrem, je autorem receptury na játrový sýr.

Volný čas rád trávil zahradničením a to nejen na své zahradě, ale spolu s Josefem Křížem vedli dlouhá léta Zahrádkářský svaz Žirovnice a zasadili se tak o mezinárodní prosazení svého města v tomto poli. Od roku 1963 začali pořádat výstavy květin, ovoce a zeleniny, které se od roku 1978 nazývají Zahrada Vysočiny. Od roku 1981 se výstava koná na zámku a v zámeckém špýcharu v Žirovnici, do té doby byl zámek v rozsáhlé rekonstrukci. Součástí výstavy je prodej výpěstků, občerstvení v zámecké vinárně a na nádvoří nebo v zahradě zámku a výstavka žirovnických včelařů, od nichž si návštěvníci mohou koupit med. V sobotu odpoledne je pro návštěvníky připraven kulturní program Slavnosti žirovnického jednorožce. Na mezinárodní výstavě Zahrada Vysočiny vystupují různé pěvecké sbory, jako tradiční dětský folklorní soubor Javorníček z Brna. Na výstavy pravidelně přijíždí a vystavují i zahrádkáři ze Slovenska, Polska a další.

Jaroslav Karbaš se také zasadil o renovaci drobných památek Pelhřimovska a to zejména obnovou litinových či kovaných křížů. Mimo jiné se zasadil o nález a renovaci barokní oltářní archy, která byla nalezena na půdě žirovnické fary v roce 1996. Oltář byl v roce 2003 prohlášen za movitou kulturní památku a je nyní součástí stálé expozice na zámku Žirovnice.

Politická kariéra
V roce 1968 vstoupil do ČSL, následně se stal jejím okresním předsedou za okres Pelhřimov v letech 1976–82, později i krajským předsedou v letech 1982–1989 a také poslancem České národní rady rovněž za ČSL v letech 1983–1989 1). Poté z veřejného života odešel a užíval si poklidného důchodu. V komunálních volbách 2018 podpořil kandidáty KDU-ČSL v kandidátce Žirovnice.

One rest day becomes two. This can easily happen.
An army museum, and a hill preserved (restored, in fact, I think, if that is the right word) in the state it was in during the battle at Dien Bien Phu. The hill has the poetic name A1.
Met Thomas and Iris, cyclists from Germany. They have been riding for 12 months; at the end of this month they are going home. I still have 12 months to go I think.


Senator Georges —Who said that?
Senator ZAKHAROV —That is what the Bulletin said-a misunderstanding which is often fostered by those seeking to divert attention from their own tax avoidance, will the Minister correct the figure given in the article and explain the conditions under which travelling allowance can and cannot be claimed by back benchers?
Senator GARETH EVANS —The figures contained in the Bulletin article are incorrect-an utterly unsurprising state of affairs given its authorship, David Barnett. As honourable senators will be all too aware, the Remuneration Tribunal has determined that from 1 July 1985 the following rates of travelling allowance will apply to senators and members of the House of Representatives: In Canberra, $95 per overnight stay; in other capital cities, $110 per overnight stay; and in places other than capital cities, $85 per overnight stay.
Senator Georges —They are better than if you are in gaol.
Senator GARETH EVANS —These allowances are payable only in certain circumstances, which I am not sure extend to those in which Senator Georges just found himself, and for an overnight stay in a place other than their home base. The Remuneration Tribunal is responsible for reviewing the allowances of senators and members and in so doing is required to have regard to the wage principles established by the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. Honourable senators will also be well aware of the conditions set by the Tribunal for payment of travelling allowances. There are many occasions when the allowance is not payable.

Over the course of a fishing season, we get tons of questions regarding techniques and tackle while we're on the water. Perhaps the most common one (surprisingly) is what is this knot that I'm always using and how does one tie it??
Although some might consider it a 'specialty knot', the blood knot is one of the most useful knots that an angler (either fly or conventional tackle) can know.
With good knots, you'll never know what you might drag up off the bottom of the river!
Tied properly, the blood knot allows an angler to connect two separate pieces of monofilament line at around 90-95% breaking strength of the line. Some practical uses? Fly anglers use it all the time to make their own tapered leaders by connecting short sections of different weight mono to their fly line for a custom leader. Conventional tackle anglers will the find the knot useful in connecting a clear leader to a colored line (a very common use for myself).
Don't use colored lines or flyfish? You can also use the knot to save yourself a few bucks by only filling the top half of a reel's spool by leaving a layer of underlying line (call it backing) and connecting it to the new line to be spooled up, thereby cutting down on the amount of line necessary to fill up the reel.
The keys to tying this knot at fullest strength possible are: using the same type of line on each side and using very similar weights (ie 12 lb. to 15 lb. - You can use different types of line, and bigger weight differences, just keep in mind that your knot strength will decrease when you do so); and using the proper number of wraps and pulling the knot tight very slowly.
We'll give these instructions for a right-handed angler, simply reverse the hands if you're a lefty.
Your first step to tying this knot is to cross the two pieces of line that you wish to join in the shape of an 'X'. Make sure to leave four or five inches of line on each side of you crossing point if possible, this will facilitate easier tying.
Next, grab the crossing point of the lines between your left thumb and forefinger and begin winding the tag piece of line clockwise (looking down the line from left to right) five times.
Upon completion of your wraps, pass the end of the line with which you made your wraps and slide it into the 'V' that was formed from the wrapping of the two lines.
Next, grasp the two crossing lines and the end that was was just passed through with your right thumb and forefinger. Then, wrap the remaining tag end counter-clockwise (this is VERY important) five times around the line.
Now pass this tag end through the loop left behind where the wraps begin. It is very important that you come through the loop in the opposite direction that the first line did.
For the next step, I usually grasp the two pieces of line going through the loop with my teeth and slowly pull on the outer ends of the two lines you are joining. I firm these up just enough to where the knot tends to hold its shape. Then, moisten everything well (saliva works just fine :)) and continue pulling the knot tight.
When everything is snug, simply clip off the the ends of the line sticking out from the knot and you're finished. Be sure to test your knot by tugging firmly on the line.
Simple! Yes, it does take a little practice to tie this knot quickly, but it's an invaluable one that has a number of uses and should be part of every angler's repertoire of knots!

For the past several months, as the culmination of a discussion spanning more than two years, the Clickin Moms team has been working on some exciting changes that reflect, celebrate, and formalize the growth and progress our company has experienced since it inception in 2008.
What began as a supportive forum for moms who love photography has blossomed into a parent company with an online photography school that educates 2,000 students per month, a professional network of advanced photographers, a print magazine with 30,000 circulation, an annual education and networking conference, an online store, a mailing list of more than 100,000, and well over two million annual visitors and followers – all in addition to the original Clickin Moms community of 16,000 members. As we have grown, it's become clear we need to make some changes to reflect the company we've become and the photographers we serve.
With this in mind, the organization, branding, and voice of our primary brand and its daughter brands is evolving. Our new parent organization is called CLICK & COMPANY, and it holds a family of brands. Our membership organization will remain Clickin Moms, a supportive place to get started in and grow as a photographer. We're proud of Clickin Moms and the strong brand it has become, as well as its role in helping thousands of women to find and explore their connection with photography. We look forward to continuing to welcome new members into our community and elevating the benefits and experiences we provide to our current members. Here on the Clickin Moms blog, you'll see a slightly different look to reflect the new CM logo, and we will continue to serve fresh and friendly photography content as an introduction to the social sharing and educational content that our Clickin Moms members enjoy with their subscriptions.
The sister divisions will be rebranded and realigned to better position themselves relative to the audiences they serve and the products they offer, and there will continue to be significant cross-over and collaboration among all of our brands.

Click is a print magazine and online destination that inspires and empowers, catering to the social, creative, artistic, and business needs of women as artists, hobbyists, and professional photographers.

CLICK & COMPANY STORE The Click & Company store (previously CMstore) is an online retail destination for modern photographers, offering photography gifts, digital tools, education, and back-issues of Click magazine.
Let The Kids is a lifestyle blog in love with real moments and beautiful photography.
Our vision for Click & Company remains just as it was under the Clickin Moms name. Our family of brands strives to empower photographers of all levels to capture life beautifully in both their personal and professional endeavors, to make flexible, quality photography education and mentoring accessible, and to maintain a supportive community for continuous learning, sharing, and growth.
From its roots in striving to provide a safe place for mothers to learn to more beautifully photograph their children and capture family memories, Click & Company's mission will continue to emphasize the value of photography to enrich the lives of women and to reinforce the camera as an essential life tool for both new and experienced photographers.
We will continue to work hard to innovate and elevate our offerings across all the products and programming we offer; we have some wonderful new things in the works, and we can't wait to share them with you.

Q: Unable to load the Google Search page in your browser I have written a simple code to launch the Firefox browser and load the google page but it launched the browser but failed to load the google page I am using selenium-java-2.33.0 and firefox 35.0 version
package com.webdriver.chapter1;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class navigateToAUrl {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");

}
}

What is causing the problem?

A: You have incompatible webdriver jars for the firefox version you use.
Use the latest jars which is version 2.44 (at this time of posting this answer).
Download from here http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ & replace the old ones with the new jar. It should work fine.

Hey y'all! I hope that you are having a great week. As per usual, it's been pretty busy here at the castle. Lots of projects! Remember last February when I changed the curtains, which led to recovering the dining room chair seats out? If not, you can see all of that crazy here.
However, I'll give you the cliff notes version just to catch you up.
This is what the chair seats started out looking like, well after I recovered them for the second time a few years ago.
Honestly, I had recovered them so many times over the years that I couldn't remember what they originally looked like.
I thought they were originally a white fabric.
But, no. It was really more of a gold color. Not the look I was going for at all.
However, I was prepared to live with it until I realized how badly I had messed up the cording that goes around the chair.
All because I took a huge shortcut, it quickly became clear that I needed to recover all of the chairs again. Round 4, coming up! Ugh.
I started looking for a navy fabric to recover the chairs.
Unfortunately, no luck. All of the materials I found were either too dark, had weird patterns, or were made of odd material.
Then, one day, I was in Hobby Lobby looking at my curtain fabric and low and behold there was a co-ordinating fabric!
While not in my original design plan, it was perfect.
I'm not sure what kind of fabric it really is, but I'm calling it "faux velvet".
And guess what? It really is perfect for the room.
It obviously matches the curtains.
And I love the rich blue color of the cushion against the raspberry hot pink rug!
I was originally wanting to make everything lighter and brighter. Funny thing is adding color to the room really makes it all come together without starting from scratch.
Which in my book is a win.
Now that I've got this part locked in I can focus on the fun part, accessories!
Sometimes I think I should just get out of my own way, recovering the dining room chair seats was the perfect solution in the dining room.
When everything is done, take a picture of the entire dining room. 🙂 I'm looking forward to see it all together! It looks wonderful Tammy, I love your no-fear attitude when it comes to fun and bold colors! I'm too chicken. And those chairs look soft, comfy and so rich in that deep aqua/teal color!! Great choice.
Thank you Erika! I plan on sharing when I get it all done.
Thank you Erika! I plan on sharing as soon as I get it all pulled together!
Looks great! Love all the colors!!
Tammy, I love the color! And you are braver than me…I would never attempt to recover a chair…that's why I have a chair that has no back and no bottom…and it will stay that way! 🙂 Looks beautiful!! Hugs!!
Benita you crack me up!
