New Lion is smooth and easy - are you?
23 October 2000
With a less bitter taste and a trendy new look, beer drinking is set to become more exciting with the launch of SA Breweries' revitalised brand, New Lion.
New Lion boasts an innovative and striking silver and blue packaging design - a bold move from traditional beer packaging. It has a 4.4% ABV (alcohol by volume), which allows you to stay in control, is less bitter than most beers, and makes for smoother and easier drinking.
Commenting on why SA Breweries decided to revitalise the Lion Lager brand, Kingsley Potter, New Lion brand manager, said: "More and more young adults, faced with a vast choice of alcoholic drinks, are switching to brands that depict their lifestyle. They demand a less bitter beer with the all-important vibrant image.
"We are proud and excited by the changes we have made to Lion Lager, and believe New Lion will become the natural choice for these demanding consumers who live fast paced lifestyles, spend long hours in mixed gender environments, and where music and social interaction is crucial," he added.
New Lion will become an accessory to these hip and happening young adults, and will offer them a quality beer that speaks their language.
New Lion will be available in 340ml non-returnable bottles and cans, and 750 ml returnable bottles from 23 October 2000.

U.N. Drug Report Admits Policy Problems, But Slams Legalization Talk
International drug-control policies need to be reformed and the solution to growing drug trafficking and related crime lies in recognizing drugs as a health problem — one that can be prevented, treated and controlled — but not legalizing and taxing drugs, according to a new report from the United National Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Echoing one of the main arguments of drug-policy reform advocates, the top anti-drug official at the United Nations says that drug prohibition has created "an illicit black market of macro-economic proportions." But UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa warned that drug legalization would be a "historic mistake" even as the 2009 U.N. World Drug Report praised drug decriminalization policies enacted in Portugal, where possession remains illegal but users face only civil, not criminal penalties.
Decriminalization of smalltime drug use coupled with stepped-up enforcement aimed at traffickers would "keep drugs out of the hands of those who would avoid them under a system of full prohibition, while encouraging treatment, rather than incarceration, for users," the report said.
Costa, who unveiled the report during a Washington, D.C., ceremony with new U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske, said that while the link between drugs and the growth of organized crime crime is undeniable, the solution lies in "more controls on crime, without fewer controls on drugs."
The 2009 report opens with an acknowledgment that calls for exploring alternatives to drug prohibition have grown as more policymakers and the public have concluded that current drug-control policies have failed. However, the report blasts calls for legalizing and taxing currently illegal drugs as "unethical and uneconomical," comparing the idea to putting a tax on "other seemingly intractable crimes like human trafficking."
The UNODC parries the economic argument for legalization as "naive and myopic," saying that only rich countries would even have a chance of effectively regulating the drug market.
"Why unleash a drug epidemic in the developing world for the sake of libertarian arguments made by a pro-drug lobby that has the luxury of access to drug treatment?" Costa wrote in the report's executive summary. "Drugs are not harmful because they are controlled — they are controlled because they are harmful; and they do harm whether the addict is rich and beautiful, or poor and marginalized."
"Proponents of legalization can't have it both ways," said Costa. "A free market for drugs would unleash a drug epidemic, while a regulated one would create a parallel criminal market. Legalization is not a magic wand that would suppress both mafias and drug abuse. Societies should not have to choose between protecting public health or public security: they can, and should do both."
Jack Cole, executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), said Costa "would have you believe that the legalization movement is calling for the abolition of drug control. Quite the contrary, we are demanding that governments replace the failed policy of prohibition with a system that actually regulates and controls drugs, including their purity and prices, as well as who produces them and who they can be sold to."
"The U.N. drug czar is talking out of both sides of his mouth," added Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA). "On the one hand he admits global drug prohibition is destabilizing governments, increasing violence, and destroying lives. But on the other hand he offers facile arguments dismissing the need for serious debate on alternative drug policies."
Interestingly, DPA and other drug-policy reform groups marked World Drug Day on June 26 by issuing a "call to action" for governments to adopt drug harm-reduction policies such as needle-exchange programs, decriminalize personal use of drugs, and make evidence-based addiction treatment more widely available, among other steps (read PDF). The document did not call for full drug legalization, however, suggesting that perhaps the daylight between drug-policy reformers and international drug-control officials may be narrowing despite the harsh rhetoric from both sides.
Marking World Drug Day on June 26, Costa noted that 5 million people die annually from tobacco use and 2 million die each year from drinking alcohol, while only 200,000 die from illicit-drug use. "Clearly, when you compare drugs to other addictive substances, control is working," he said.
Costa and Kerlikowske both said that investing more resources in drug treatment and prevention was the best strategy for reducing demand and, ultimately, drug trafficking and profits. "We recognize that addiction is a disease and are seeking public-health solutions," said Kerlikowske. "My top priority is to intensify efforts to reduce the demand for drugs which fuels crime and violence around the world."
The report's recommendations for improving drug control emphasized the need to treat addiction as an illness, and for law enforcement to focus on drug trafficking, not drug users. "People who take drugs need medical help, not criminal retribution," said Costa, who called for universal access to drug treatment. Other report recommendations include international agreements against organized crime and greater efficiency in law enforcement.
Globally, the markets for cocaine, opiates and marijuana are either holding steady or in decline, according to the U.N. report, but while use of synthetic drugs may be leveling off in developed countries, consumption of substances like amphetamines, methamphetamine, and ecstasy may be rising in the developing world. Costa said that credit is due to international efforts to control the international drug market.
"The $50 billion global cocaine market is undergoing seismic shifts," said Costa, who recently unveiled a report asserting that cocaine production in Colombia has dropped 18 percent in 2008, with production of the drug down 28 percent. "Purity levels and seizures (in main consumer countries) are down, prices are up, and consumption patterns are in flux. This may help explain the gruesome upsurge of violence in countries like Mexico. In Central America, cartels are fighting for a shrinking market."
The report estimated that 41 percent of all cocaine produced is being seized by law-enforcement officials — mostly in Colombia — but only 19 percent of opiates. Costa endorsed the recent shift in antidrug strategy in Afghanistan by the Obama administration, which now plans to focus on interdicting heroin shipments and economic development rather than trying to eradicate poppy crops.

Please do not waste money on this. Matierial is poor quality plywood and MDF boards, some pieces are very flimsy. Many of KIEA products might be better and cheaper than this. Assembly is easy and straight forward. Looks decent in living room. It is not brown but black in color. It wil not survive shifting to another house of town. I could have bought a far better piece for probably $50 more locally at some furniture store. I am not sure how genuine some reviews about this item are.
This tablehas a very nice appeal. The color is gorgeous and the quality is good. It was easy to put together and I love all the extra storage compartments. I am very please with this item.
I must say, the extra storage has been so convenient. This is a sturdy table that was quite easy to assemble. I love the dark color. It blends well with the rest of my decor. The sleek and modern look of it gives a nice touch to the living room. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
I really like how much storage this coffee table has. Its a very versatile design. I definitely utalize that feature regularly.
The quality of this table is better than i expected. After assembly I found that it was very sturdy. I love the color, its gorgeous. The storage space is an extra feature that comes in handy. I am quite satisfied.
Customer service is awesome! She was willing to credit my account for chips on my table.
definitely amazed at the cost of this. I expected the quality but it was still better than I expected when I built it. it is very strong and holds a lot of storage, and I mean a lot. it looks very good in person as it does in the picture. I definitely recommend this table if you love the look and looking for extra storage space that can be hidden! woo
there's storage everywhere in this coffee table. it's spilling out. this is one of the most clever pieces I ever came across. there are easy gliding drawers and top. the compartments inside are divided into two and it really does make life a little bit easier for the cleaning, the entertaining, the guests, and overall looks nice. assembly is pretty straightforward, shouldn't be a problem for anyone really.
amazing coffee table for anyone. its a great little experiencing within itself. there are many hidden storages but not a lot like this one. added drawers add more value and function to it. assembly was straightforward enough to build this in about 2 hours.
About three days delivery,. less than an house of simply assembly that I've ever faced, the quality is great, and the sliding table tops, and drawers are perfect with and very reliable. I highly recommend it.

"First of all this care says "Merry Christmas." Secondly it has room for our pictures. I used the green card as it made a better background color for our photos. It was perfect!"
"We personalized it by using a fun loving, energetic, whimsical, picture of our kids. They are older 15 and 24 so we needed something silly and fun, not traditional and stoic. With the simplicity of the message we can use this card for everyone!!!! Plus we were able to add a couple of lines for a message and then 3 more fun pictures on the back! We loved it!"
"This was a fabulous find. Tiny Prints had so many amazing designs to choose from, but I selected Hearty Holly because of the saying and picture placement. The photo I used did not lend to certain font colors over top so this was a perfect option as no words overlaid the photo. I particularly loved that I had the option to select from color options and coordinating items like address labels and envelope liners. I would purchase again in a heartbeat. I love that Tiny Prints thinks about he back of the card as well as the front. The fact that the back could be customized as well sold me."
"I loved this card as soon as I first saw it - then after it was personalized and I received it in the mail, I loved it even more! Everything was how I expected it to be - from the colors to the paper to the cut of the paper - it looked great!"
"I ordered several samples of different designs. While I like all the fun textures and shimmering details on many of the designs, this simple design ultimately was my favorite and final choice. The vibrant color is crisp and the details compliment our photos, while not overpowering them. This is truly striking in person."

Far too many incorrect update detections - either the software is up-to-date (and the app says it isn't), or software needs updating and the app says it is up-to-date. How can CNET put out such an incredibly BAD app - it is embarrasing!
Avoid this - it is terrible!
"Poor ... still not working after many years"
Version: Download App 1.6.5
Can't think of any
Used it many years ago but ditched it cos it was so bad ... retried it again and still bad ... says my software out-of-date when a quick check shows MY software if far more up to date than what they suggest is the latest ... would be a lot better if they would display both OLD and NEW versions on screen like ***** ... now that product really works EVERY time
Total waste of time
"Broke this with latest release"
Version: Download App 1.6.5
Used to work pretty well at finding software that need to be updated.
Just plan broken now. I get error messages when I start up machine. Needed to delete the software....
Took a good product and broke it. TOO BAD!!!

"Latest version will not run in windows 8.1"
Version: Download App 1.6.5
There are no pros, prior versions ran in windows 8.1, current version just states that it stopped and there is no fix. Also, program has never properly identified adobe reader versions as current in windows 7.
Doesn't work in windows 8.1, identifies current paid versions of many programs as obsolete.
try something that works!

"Works for some software - not for all."
Version: Download App 1.6.5
"New" version interface is better than old style.
Some software obviously NOT scanning properly. One program showed "out of date", but even AFTER downloading alleged most recent version, software STILL shows "out of date".
I sort of like this software because it does let me know when new versions are available. I then go directly to the software site to download a "clean" version. That means it doesn't have all the "junk" that cnet includes with their versions. I got stung once by not reading all the offers included in the "free" software. Once burned twice learned. So the download app does have its purpose, but I wouldn't recommend anyone use cnet's downloads without reading each and every screen extremely carefully. A user needs to be aware that the offers are frequently duplicated throughout the download process. If you're not alert, you'll have new default settings on your computer - and some of them are persistent and nearly impossible to get rid of. As an alert system, the download app is worthwhile. As a source of "clean" downloads it's a case of "buyer beware" in my opinion. Whenever possible, use the actual software's official site for updated versions.No way to remove uninstalled software. The same goes for the OLD list as well. In addition, there are tons of unwanted junk software included in the downloads.

"Ok until latest update"
Version: Download App 1.6.5
Good for me, since I have no memory... Really helpful.
I've used it for years. Updated the Download App a couple of days ago and it no longer works. It says the program "stopped working".Uninstalled and deleted the file, then downloaded and reinstalled. Didn't help. This program simply doesn't work, since the "update". I'm extremely disappointed!
I suppose it would be very good, if it worked!

"I like it, it helps me"
Version: Download App 1.6.5
It tells me when something is out of date. I'm not good at keeping up with everything, so this is like a personal assistant.
So far, I don't have any
Good app for keeping programs up to date
"It is not the best."
Version: Download App 1.6.5
It updates you programs fine, and works. You can update your software automatically and receive notifications, too!
It sometimes accidentally installs malware from installers which contain "offers".
The software is bearable, but it only supplies updates for software already on the CNet website. Also, you need to uncheck the Automatic Install function to use this software, or you will get a bunch of crapware on your computer, since CNet defaults to "Accept" and "Next" in installers even if they have malware/adware offers. So be careful if you install the Download App, but it is worth it if you're just curious about your programs' status.Forgot: "It only installs updates for programs on the Download.com website, too" is another con.

"version recognition unreliable"
Version: Download App 1.6.5
One can download and install updates directly from this application.
Often the version displayed by DownloadApp is different from the installed one. Often a program is still marked as "Out of date" after updating it.
The scanning is slow.

The Railroaders scored first in Game 1 but were dominated the rest of the way en route to an 11-4 loss. The visitors then bounced back and were able to protect a lead, salvaging a split with a 9-6 victory.
In the early game, Sparks scored one run in the top of the second only to watch that lead go up in smoke as the Wolverines pushed across four runs in the bottom of the third.
Truckee scored three more in the fifth and four in the sixth to put the game out of reach. The Railroaders were able to score one in the sixth and two in the seventh to account for the final seven-run defeat.
Jared Longland hit a solo home run for the Maroon and Gold. No Sparks player had more than one hit as Truckee held the Railroaders to six hits. Casey Carter drove in a run for Sparks, and Austin Garrick's sacrifice fly plated another.
Dustin Alexander was saddled with the loss on the mound. He gave up five earned runs on five hits, seven walks and one hit batsman. He struck out four in 5 1-3 innings of work.
In Game 2, Sparks played a clean defensive game, while taking advantage of six Truckee errors.
Travis Dulgar and Carter both rapped out two hits apiece. Collin Ray drove in two runs, while Dulgar, Garrick and Tyler Crow each had an RBI.
Sparks enjoyed an 8-1 lead after the top of the third, but the Wolverines rallied for three runs in the bottom of the third to keep it close. After a two-run fourth, Truckee closed the gap to 8-6, but couldn't get closer. The Railroaders added one more run in the top of the sixth.
Carter pitched three innings of relief, earning the victory, despite allowing five runs. He gave up seven hits, three walks and struck out four. Longland pitched the final 3 1-3 innings, holding Truckee scoreless and to one hit.
"We didn't play as well as we could have in the first game. We got ahead but fell behind a little bit," Sparks baseball coach Greg Vasko said. "In the second game, we got ahead and stayed ahead. Overall, I was happy with the second game."
Sparks (14-7, 11-7) must wait until Wednesday to find out its opponent for the postseason.

What is the recommended ammo for defense/concealed carry in a Glock 21? I'm looking for something in the 185 grain range. The CorBon is all +P, and that worries me in the Glock, but the Federal HydraShock I have read is not recommended in the Glock. Any professional recommendations?
By the way, how the hell are y'all? Haven't been around since January or so. I got rid of that commie canadian woman at the end of January, and am living full time in Vermont now. Working at IBM as a sys admin, and have not stepped foot in God-fosaken Canada since I moved my last load out five months ago, although I am only minutes from the border. (Canada makes a great backstop for sighting in your rifle.) I ended up with the dog, the rabbit, the freezer, and the dishwasher, so I think I got the better end of the deal.

Mad Minute
It will soon be 100 years since Sgt Snoxall set the record for the mad minute. Does anybody fancy trying to beat it?
The rules are simple. You have a bolt action centre fire rifle. You start with the bolt forwards on an empty chamber in the "on guard" standing position. On the command you start to fire shots at a 12" bull 300 yards away. You may use as much ammunition as you want. After 1 minute you cease firing. The number of hits is your score.
How's that for a simple challenge?
Forgot to mention- it is normal to hit the dirt as you are cycling the first round but I don't think this is a requirement.

I doubt on a flat range, no wind and a good scope....that I could score with practice anymore than a 3. And that would be with my heavy barreled Ruger M77 22-250.

Quite interesting. The record is 38 rounds in a minute.
According to this article it was/is done in the prone position, no sling, open sights.
"The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army Sergeant Instructor Snoxall who placed 38 rounds into a 12" target at 300 yards in one minute."
As a person who does know military weaponry with more than a passing fancy, my instantaneous intuitive reaction was that this was not possible. NO ONE could fire a bolt action rifle that fast with such accuracy over such a distance! NOT possible.
The British Army in the years prior to World War One [WW1] was very professional and promoted to a high degree marksmanship with the SMLE rifle. Ability to fire the SMLE rifle with accuracy and speed [a contradiction] OVER DISTANCE was stressed. It seems that marksmanship of the quality as demonstrated by Sergeant Snoxall was NOT unique among English soldiers of the time. What the good sergeant did WAS indeed possible.
"The original feat was performed by Sergeant Instructor Snoxall in 1914. I [It] was 38 shots into a 12" bull at 300 yards. Prone, iron sights, no sling, loading with 5 round chargers."
"A Sgt. Instructor Snoxall at the British School of Musketry set the record in 1914 with 38(!) hits. Scores of 34- 35 hits were not uncommon."
Demonstrations and exhibitions of superlative skill with the SMLE rifle were periodically held to validate techniques of "musketry" as to taught to the pre-WW1 British "Old Sweats"??

Paddy Power specials: City v WBA
- 10 April 2012 17:45
- Posted by Chris Bailey
Despite Sunderland bringing to an end our unblemished Premier League home record and West Brom's strong away form, the Blues are long odds-on with Paddy Power to win Wednesday night's contest.
City are priced up at 2/7 to collect all three points and that isn't surprising considering a run that has seen us score three or more goals in five of the last seven games on home soil.
Looking at the handicap betting may be a way to generate more of a profit. Punters can back City -1 goal at 8/11 or City -2 goals at 15/8 with Paddy Power. A scoreline of 3-0 at 7/1 would cover both options.
West Brom come in to this game with a solid away record of six wins, four draws and six defeats from their 16 away games. Roy Hodgson has the Baggies playing as a solid unit and they have picked up some unexpected points this season, including holding City to a 0-0 draw at the Hawthorns back in late December.
And West Brom have proved to be something of a bogey team in recent years. Of the last 14 games the two clubs have played, West Brom have won six times and managed another four draws.
But that doesn't stop Blues players being dominant in the first goal scorer market.
Sergio Aguero remains City's most potent threat with 24 goals in all competitions this season. The Argentine striker is 3/1 to score the first goal and 8/13 to score anytime. His compatriot Carlos Tevez is 7/2 to score the last goal.
Check out a full range of prices and take advantage of a £20 FREE BET if you are a new Paddy Power Customer – Manchester City vs West Brom.
*Get a chance to win a signed Manchester City Shirt – every customer who signs up and places a bet with Paddy Power prior to kick off versus West Brom will automatically be entered into a draw to win a signed shirt. The lucky winner will be contacted on April 12.

I have a twitter account, and I would like to get more followers for it in the near future. I made the Twitter account to use it for social media advertising, for this business that I own. It is just a small business, so any sort of edge that I can get for advertising, by channeling social media outlets is very helpful in terms of what it does for the business. I am thinking about trying to buy twitter followers here on this site that I just ran across.
I was not aware that you could buy Twitter followers, until just recently, when I came across a site that sells followers. I was not even necessarily looking for such a thing, but rather, I was just trying to figure out ways to get a lot of followers on Twitter in a short amount of time. Read the rest of this entry

* The ME3 Demo and Trailer Screenshots Gallery has been updated with screenshots of a Manshep romancing Ashley and the newest ME3 trailers!
* Also, I got a new video card over the weekend, so of course I replayed the Demo and took even prettier screenshots of a Femshep/Kaidan playthrough. My ME3 screenshots are going to be SO MUCH BETTER than ME2.
* On a related note, I am looking for suggestions for a good photo editing software which is VERY GOOD FOR TAGGING. I need something that made tagging more than an afterthought. Someone please email me with a suggestion. I'm willing to spend $30ish on the software if needed.

Tiger Hill is good, some nice stories and a pleasant (and manageable) climb. We took a boat ride from there, instead of a rickshaw, to the old town, and that was wonderful, and very relaxing.

That is a gate valve. Even if you did get it to close, there is a good chance that when you try to reopen it the stem can separate from the gate not allow it to.
Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this valve and how it works
The city cannot find the outdoor main shut off valve to the house so I dont want to possibly break this valve or disturb it and run into a situation where I cannot shut the water down without freezing the pipe.
the knob at the top is very stiff and cannot be turned without great force. is it just an old gate valve?
That is a gate valve. Even if you did get it to close, there is a good chance that when you try to reopen it the stem can separate from the gate not allow it to.
Yes, a gate valve with 90% of the handle missing. If you close it, there is also a 90% chance the stem will break, in which case you will never be able to OPEN the valve again. Are you seeing a new valve in your future?????!!!!!!!!!!!!
The gate could also break off when you try to close it. One thing that IS certain is that with a buried galvanized supply line running through a concrete footing, the city WILL have to find that outside shutoff "someday" and maybe soon.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Probably on borrowed time ... If you are responsible for that line, see if your area has anyone supplying a waterline warrany. Then, just pray for it to break and they'll find the shutoff (or install a new one).
Surely there is a shut off valve as part of the water meter! The comment about the city having to find a way to shut the water off sooner or later is very true. You have galvanized steel pipes, and this type of pipe has a limited lifespan. At the very least, you should replace the valve with a 1/4 turn ball valve. That won't extend the life of the galvanized pipe, but it will give you the means to turn the water off when necessary.
The picture may show the water meter just above the valve outside the picture. If so, then it would depend on the utility's protocol whether everything ahead of the meter was their responsibility, or everything on the customer's propery, past the propery line, belongs to the homeowner. The city's shut off would be outside the property line. With a metal water line, its path would be easy to trace and then the city valve should be easy to pinpoint once you know where the pipe is and also the property line.

Triangulated Design. The BMR Suspension Mustang sub-frame features a trianguled design that ties key structural points together for an extremely rigid frame. Made in the USA from heavy duty boxed 1.5" x 2" main tubing with both 1" x 2" and 1" gussets as well as 3/16" laser cut weld plates, BMR completes their subframe connectors with a black hammer-tone powder coat finish for durability and good looks.
Weld-in Design. The weld-in design of these BMR Suspension boxed steel subframe connectors is far superior and stronger than the flimsy bolt-in connectors available from the competition.
Application. The BMR Suspension Subframe Connectors are designed to fit the 2005 to 2014 Coupe Mustangs, including V6, GT, Bullitt, and Shelby GT500 models. Will also fit convertible Mustangs if rear bracing is removed.
Mustang Fitment: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 Details >>

Pros – The benefits (health, eye, dental, disability, 401k, discount stock, vaaction and sick pay) and job security (no lay-offs and great programs to help substance abusers get back on their feet) are good. Constant listings of job opprtunities throughout the company allow for some movement (there are restrictions on length of time in a postion before you can move again)
Cons – Very beaurocratic (everything requires multiple levels of approvals, there are procedures upon procedures that are not used in the best sense- for training and standardized service - but instead are used in the most negative sense - for disciplinary action); It is slow to adopt new processes (again, many reviewers and multiple rounds of comments as well as well as culture with entrenched behavior from people doing the same job for many years); No entreprenurial spirit, lots of people marking time to retirement.
Advice to Senior Management – Do you promote productivity changes? Do you reward cost cutting and effieciency?
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Transylvania University has endured and prospered as a leader in higher education in part because every year hundreds of parents just like you entrust us with the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of their children. It is a privilege we take very seriously.
This section of our website outlines information that you may find helpful as you become involved in our campus community. In addition, throughout the year, we will send you invitations to campus events such as Family Weekend and a campus calendar listing lectures, concerts, plays, and sports events. I hope to see you at many of these events. Additionally, you will receive Transylvania magazine in November, March, and July, plus information about how to take part in the Parents Fund. By getting involved in the Transylvania community you will see firsthand the personal attention your student receives here.
Getting to know your sons and daughters is a part of my role as president of Transylvania that gives me great satisfaction. Among the advantages of a small college are the many opportunities I have to talk with students informally, often in Haupt Plaza, the crossroads of our campus. And I look forward to watching our students give their best efforts on stage, in the concert hall, on the playing field, and in other venues. There are so many enjoyable moments, but perhaps none is more rewarding that presenting students with their hard-earned diplomas at commencement.
