Traditional woks differ greatly from conventional cookware, thanks to their typically rounded bottoms and carbon-steel or cast-iron surfaces that must be seasoned (a process that some users find tedious and time consuming). Many woks also cannot go in the dishwasher or the oven. To make wok cooking easier, manufacturers have designed woks with features similar to contemporary cookware: nonstick surfaces, flat bottoms and dishwasher/oven capabilities. If you are looking for this style of wok, reviewers highly recommend the Calphalon Unison Nonstick 13-inch Wok with Cover.
This Calphalon wok has a heavy-gauge anodized-aluminum construction for sturdiness and durability, as well as a nonstick interior surface designed for searing. It is dishwasher safe as well as oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Users report that the wok cooks up food that is juicy and flavorful, adding that ingredients do not stick to the surface and clean-up is easy. An added bonus, some users say, is the see-through, tempered-glass lid, which supports steaming or simmering and allows foods to be monitored as they cook.
There are, however, a handful of complaints about this Calphalon wok. Some users say the nonstick surface scratches even when used with nylon or wood utensils. Some find the wok too big and difficult to store, although others say the roominess of the cooking area is a benefit. Although some users say the wok's high quality justifies its price, others maintain that the product is too expensive.
The Calphalon Unison Nonstick 13-inch Wok with Cover coordinates with other pots and pans in Calphalon's line of cookware. If you are looking for a less expensive product and prefer or can do without a nonstick interior surface, experts and users recommend the Joyce Chen Pro Chef 14-inch Carbon Steel Wok (*Est. $35).

November 4th is here and that means TWO things... the BlackBerry Bold is now available from AT&T and it's Election Day in the USA!
So here's a CrackBerry tip for all of you doing both today... VOTE FIRST... and then and only then should you buy your BlackBerry Bold! Seriously, if you buy the Bold before you vote there's no way you'll hold out long enough to mark your X on a ballot.
And while all of you are voting, buying your new Bold, playing with your new Bold and watching the election results unfold on tv, you know what I'm going to be doing? Working with our judging panel to pick out the TEN WINNERS in the What Would You Do for a BlackBerry Storm? Contest! From over 3,000 entries we have now whittled things down to a still-pretty-long short list... there's a lot of debating left to be done yet to arrive at the final ten. I thought I was a CrackBerry Addict, but some of you are just CrackBerry CRAZY (I LOVE IT!). I'll be contacting our finalists late Tuesday/Wednesday, so if you think your entry had legs, keep your eyes on your inbox and ears listening for a call.
Balln2k8 Nov 4, 2008 at 12:26 am
For those true crackberry fans, you should have voted early so you can dedicate a day with the new toy we have been waiting for. Freaking 4 months.
What's the deal with all the rich celbs telling people to vote for Obama when they make 20 Million a year. I'm sure they tell the young fans who watch and buy their stuff to vote for Obama, but I'm sure they don't want to spread their wealth.
crimsonandgold Nov 4, 2008 at 12:27 am
HA HA HA I planned ahead and voted 2 weeks ago!!! So ill be at ATT nice and early for my bold.
Rafael Viscara Nov 4, 2008 at 1:04 am
Seriously I would think any one with half a brain can tell this. I mean were do you see every and I mean just about every media form only mention one name? Terrible. The only one that does not have that name on his lips is the educated one. Can we say "Ben Stein" that is getting all kinds of flack as well as "Jon Voight" Why is this? Because its all the uneducated mindless individuals that watch "The Simple" life and that are worried more about what Paris is wearing than who is in office. That is why the "Media" courts those individuals. The educated voters dont need "Bling Bling" TV actors to make us "Decide" on whats the best choice is. The educated voter can do this based on knowing the candidates and there real motives. The Liberals can only lure their voters by "Dangling Shinny Trendy Trinkets" in front of them. Or merely using a race color as a tool to persuade people on how to vote.
As for the Bold I can not believe it was released for sale on the ATT site and I never got a email notification from the form I filled on their site to notify me when It was available. Stupid waste why do they bother if they are not going to send out the notices. Lame.
All I can say is I am happy I get my Crackberry intravenous tube of info via "Twitter" feed to my phone. I know that a small company like Crackberry knows what Dependability and Loyalty is and always comes through. ATT could take a lesson from Crackberry.. Thanks you guys some of can see your dedication and hard work. Or is it because your a addict? LoL.
Get your Bold first... so you have something to do while waiting in line to vote!
Mista Stringfellow Nov 4, 2008 at 11:31 am
I voted at 6AM then got my BOLD at 9AM to bad i gotta go to work..
Balln2k8 Nov 4, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I was the fist in my office to get the Bold today at AT&T. He said I was retarded for not shopping around. He sent me a link for Walmart Online for their phones sales department. I wish I could find the exact link, but I saw it with my own eyes. If I could take my Bold back to AT&T I would and get it from Walmart.
Balln2k8 Nov 4, 2008 at 8:08 pm
OK guys, I don't know what went wrong. I was just on their site a few hours ago and it was free, maybe a glitch. Now it says $200. Sorry!
Hwytohellac_dc Nov 5, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Yes the walmart phone was free.. It still might be free i don't know... however, the plans that they required you to buy made it the same price or more in the long run.

Next are hundreds of devils in monstrous costumes. The heavy masks have horns bulging eyes fangs long hair and in contrast to the frightening masks the devils wear sparkling breastplates silk embroidered shawls and golden spurs. Between the devils groups of dancers dressed as monkeys pumas and insects caper to the music from brass bands, or pipers or drummers. The noise is loud and frenzied.
Out of the devil dancers comes China Supay, the Devil's wife, who dances a seductive dance to entice the Archangel Michael. Around her dance the members of local workers unions, each carrying a small symbol of their union such as pickaxes or shovels. Dancers dressed as Incas with condor headdresses and suns and moons on their chests dance along with dancers dressed as the black slaves imported by the Spaniards to work in the silver mines.
Family members led by the matriarchs in yellow dresses appear in order: first the husbands dressed in red, next come the daughters in green, followed by the sons in blue. The families dance their way to the football stadium where the next part of the celebrations takes place.
Two plays begun, as medieval mystery plays, are enacted. The first portrays the Conquest by the Spanish conquistadores. The second is the triumph of the Archangel Michael as he defeats the devils and the Seven Deadly Sins with his flaming sword. The results of the battle are announced the Patron Saint of the Miners the Virgen del Socavon and the dancers sing a Quecha hymn.
Although the references to the Spanish conquest and the downtrodden state of the Bolivian peasants are very clear, this festival is based on the pre-Colonial ceremony of giving thanks to the earth-mother Pachamama. It commemorates the struggles of good and evil and the early Catholic priests allowed it to continue with a Christian overlay in an effort to pacify the local natives.
The celebration of carnaval continues for days as the diablada dancers break into smaller groups and continue dancing around huge bonfires. Onlookers join the procession at any point and with the consumption of strong Bolivian beer and the very potent chicha made from fermented cereals and corn they get rowdy. Many sleep in doorways or where they fall until they awake and continue celebrating. If you plan to be in Oruro or any of the towns celebrating carnaval, follow the basic safety precautions:

The Tribune-Democrat
A civil lawsuit filed against a Johnstown couple and their son, who went on a shooting spree that killed two people in 2009, will proceed through the judicial system.
Blair County Judge Jolene Kopriva ruled this week against a defense request to dismiss the lawsuit. Kopriva said that the suit presents a factual situation which could provide a basis for a jury to find that Daniel and Karen Horner acted with reckless indifference in allowing their son, Nicholas Adam Horner, access to a handgun.
A jury found last year that Nicholas Horner, who was living in Altoona at the time, killed Scott Garlick, 19, of Hollidaysburg, and Raymond Williams, 64, who had recently retired and moved to the Altoona area from his Northern Cambria home. Williams was shot near his home.
Horner, who had been discharged from the Army after serving two tours in Iraq and one in Kuwait, also shot Michele Petty, an employee at the 58th Street Subway, where he gunned down Garlick, a high school senior.
Horner, a 1999 graduate of Conemaugh Valley High School, was convicted in 2012 of two counts of first-degree murder and related charges. He is serving two life sentences plus 29 to 59 years in prison for the shootings.
Petty and her husband, Gerald Petty Jr., filed the civil suit in November.
Michele Petty, who was shot in the pelvis by Horner, testified at the trial nearly a year ago that she received permanent injuries due to Horner's actions and suffers extensive numbness and other problems.
Hollidaysburg attorney Joseph Nypaver filed the suit on behalf of the Pettys. The suit contends that the Horners allowed their son to possess the .45-caliber handgun owned by his father despite their knowledge that Nicholas suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental conditions resulting from his military service.
"(The Horners) knew or should have known, that their son, in possession of a handgun, would engage in violent behavior," Nypaver contends in the suit.
Kopriva's ruling was in response to preliminary objections filed two months ago by John Heslop, who represents the Horners.
The judge gave the defense 20 days to answer the lawsuit.

The following is a news release issued July 25 by the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division regarding the death of Sgt. Eric E. Williams of Murrieta.
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - An 82nd Airborne Division flight medic was killed Monday when the forward operating base came under enemy fire in Logar Province, Afghanistan.
was in-transit from his duty station in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan to re-deploy to the United States when he was killed. He was assigned to Company C, 3-82 General Support Aviation Battalion, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division.
"Our deepest condolences go out to the entire Williams family during this time of great sadness," said Col. T.J. Jamison, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade commander, of Broken Arrow, Okla. "Eric was a valued member of the Task Force Pegasus family, and his memory as a great medic and Soldier who always put others before himself will not be forgotten."
Williams entered the U.S. Army in 2007, completing basic training at Fort Benning, Ga. He completed advance individual training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, earning military occupational specialty 68W, Healthcare Specialist, and subsequently earned the status of combat flight medic.
This was Williams' second deployment. He previously served a 14-month deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008-2009 as a combat medic.
"He was always on his game," said Sgt. Cormac Chandler, a Medevac crew chief who served with Williams, and native of Murfreesboro, Tenn. "Will always kept his cool, which in turn helped me keep my cool, and he never quit. That was the caliber of his personality. That is who he was."

Chester "Meth" Maker Faces Five Years
A Chester, Ill., man was sentenced on April 12, 2012, on a one-count indictment charging conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today.
David E. Roche, 51, was sentenced to 60 months in prison, 4 years of supervised release, and fined $300. The conspiracy offense occurred between December, 2010, and March 16, 2011, in Jackson and Randolph Counties. Two co-defendants have previously pled guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Randolph County Sheriff's Office, Chester Police Department, Murphysboro Police Department, and Drug Enforcement Administration.
The case is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Amanda A. Robertson for prosecution.

vendor Kim Vogel grew up around the farm. She said her father bought the orchard that would later become Eilerman Brothers Orchards back in 1967, and he joined forces with his four brothers to make it all happen.
"It was my dad, Paul, Fred, Kenny and Phil (Eilerman)," Vogel said. "Phil left the business in the 80s, and then it was just my dad and the rest of his brothers. My dad was the head."
She said that at that time, they were farming peaches, hogs and grain, but they got out of hogs about 20 years ago.
"We went with produce, peaches, apples and grain farming," she said. "And we do have a few cattle, but they are strictly to feed the families."
Eilerman Brothers Orchards is located in Calhoun County in Batchtown, IL.
A Family Affair
"We're all family, and you don't find that often anymore," Vogel said. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
In addition to Vogel's father and his brothers, she said there are four adult children and 13 grandchildren who are all old enough to work on the farm.
"It's all family-run," she said. "With my uncles and their kids, there are probably at least 20 more, along with spouses, and they all work on the farm."
She added that all of her nephews work outside the farm, but they come back to work on the farm after putting in their eight hours in the workforce.
"Most of them are electricians, and they will work all day and then work on the farm all evening," she said. "Last night, they didn't get done until 10 p.m."
She said that a large portion of the family actually lives on the farm, as well.
"Right on the farm are Dad, Fred, Paul and Kenny," she said. "Two of my brothers and two nephews also live there, so that's probably more than 50 percent that live on the farm."
Vogel and her family live 20 minutes south of the farm in Golden Eagle, she said. She commutes to work on the farm, and she also handles other responsibilities from home.
"I'm pretty much the one who lines up the farmers' markets, especially the ones in Missouri since I know the St. Louis area the best," she said. "I'm also the contact person for and Eat Here St. Louis--we sell to them."
Raising Kids the Old Fashioned Way
Vogel said that her own children have been raised with a farmer's work ethic.
"I think they learn a better work ethic (on the farm) because they have to get out and work earlier," she said, adding that they used to hire local high school students to work on the farm in the summertime.
"But you can't get any who want to work anymore," she said. "And on a day like today, you can't pay them enough to come out and work in this heat."
Peach Season May Be Cut Short This Year
Eilerman Brothers Orchards is well-known for its peaches, which Vogel said are delicious.
"I've got all kinds of recipes, and I take homemade pies and turnovers to the Clayton Market on Saturdays," she said. "I use fruit from the farm and I make the crusts homemade."
She is concerned about the peach season this year, though.
"With this heat, it's really working on everything and the peaches are ripening early," she said. "The peach season could be short if things don't let up—we're already looking at being done with peaches by the middle of August, and they normally go to the middle of September."
To Market, To Market
Vogel can be found at the Clayton Farmers' Market on Saturday selling tomatoes, sweet corn, melons, cucumbers, zucchini and more—or as she put it, "about anything you can think of, along with the peaches."
She said her daughter and brother-in-law go to the Tower Grove market on Saturdays, and her sister-in-law goes to the Ellisville market on Thursdays and the Wildwood market on Saturdays.
"I also go to Wash U on Thursdays," Vogel said.

Knoxville — Despite today's snowfall, Knoxville Assistant City Manager Dylan Feik reports that work will resume tomorrow (Tuesday, March 25) morning on the downtown streetscape and infrastructure project.
Feik tells the Journal-Express that the cold and wet weather slows progress, but does not really impact the project overall. He reported that Hawkeye Paving is planning to work on days like today because they want to get as much work as possible completed this year.
"They are working at a much faster pace than last year and we (City) are extremely pleased," Feik wrote in an e-mail message. "I think they took today off because they were busy over the weekend (mostly Saturday) and decided to rest their team. On these kinds of days, they typically work on purchase orders, pay estimates, project coordination, etc. Although the public doesn't see us outside, we're still working on the project and will be until it's complete."
A great deal of work underground, which the public cannot see, has already been done. As a reminder, the bulk of the expense related to this project is tied to necessary infrastructure improvements below the surface.
"Since last week, they replaced over 200 feet of storm sewer, installed several manhole structures, replaced over 50 feet of sanitary sewer (including 3 private services), and closed/removed 5 vaults (see attached picture). There are multiple crews working on the project and they are really blowing through this block of the project," Feik added.

Chaz Ebert's July 18th appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
She is found all by herself, frozen to death, far from the road, in an "international area" on the French-Swiss border, where neither country has police jurisdiction. Suspicious, wouldn't you think? That's what strikes David Rousseau, a best-selling writer of murder novels, who needs a plot for his new book. Finding himself in the snowbound hamlet of Mouthe, he settles in and begins to poke around.
Her name is Martine Langevin. She had become known as Candice Lecoeur. She was barely 20. A photographer spotted her pumping gas at the local station, shot her for a pinup calendar and launched her into a life of (limited) local fame. With her hair dyed blond and her lips bright red, she looks from some angles like Marilyn Monroe, and the photographers find those angles. Soon her portrait graces packages of the local cheese, and she's doing the weather on regional television.
"Nobody Else But You" introduces her from beyond the grave. She narrates her own story, as written down in the diaries the novelist discovers. Sometimes this gets tricky, as when she seems to have continued writing the diary after her death. Rousseau (Jean-Paul Rouve), the novelist, becomes convinced that "Candice Lecoeur" (Sophie Quinton) was murdered. The local police chief dismisses the possibility, but his assistant, Bruno Leloup (Guillaume Gouix), becomes obsessed with a theory that she resembles Marilyn both in life and death. The two men find eerie parallels.
The film by Gerald Hustache-Mathieu tries to be two things at once. (1) It's a police procedural, with clues, evidence, sinister connections and death attempts against Rousseau. (2) It's a sympathetic portrait of Martine/Candice, who grows increasingly uncomfortable with being objectified as a sex object. She's young, she doesn't know how to handle the attention, and the real Martine begins to refer to Candice as "her."
The device of the diary and the narration settles in as an effective way of telling the story, giving her the personality she seemed to lack as a provincial Marilyn. It begins to seem that Bruno may be up to something, especially after we learn of the victim's romances with a sports star, a writer and the provincial president whose initials are not quite JFK. There's no denying the uncanny way she mirrors Monroe in a scene where she sings "Happy Birthday, Mister President," although when her dress "slips" and the president's wife walks out, she has sealed her own fate.
Jean-Paul Rouve, as Rousseau, is not a demonstrative man. Reserved, inward, he plugs away at his investigation with such determination that the locals begin to refer to him as "James Ellroy." They're well-read up there in the mountains. The movie does an effective job of establishing the claustrophobic town of Mouthe, known as the coldest place in France, and as the investigation continues, it appears it may also have France's coldest people.
This one doesn't go on the list of great recent European thrillers, but it's engrossing, and in the character of Martine/Candice, it touches real poignancy. Reading her diaries, Rousseau tells Bruno, "She's a better writer than me."

Frittatas are now almost invariably savory, but this wasn't always the case, and indeed a century ago sweet frittatas were common desserts in restaurants. Not that everyone approved; Artusi remarked that when he chanced to see sweet frittata on the menu he went elsewhere. But many did, and they'd have enjoyed something along the lines of this apple frittata proposed by Mr. Vialardi, Chef to the King.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
- See Below
Cook four renette apples (a rather bittersweet north Italian variety that's used primarily for cooking), peel and core them, and put them in a bowl with a half cup (100 g) of sugar. Strip the crust from day-old bread and crumble a quarter cup of it finely. Mix it with 3 tablespoons of milk, and combine it with the apples, seasoning the mixture with a pinch of salt, and either cinnamon, grated orange zest, or grated lemon zest. Beat 6 eggs, combine them with the fruit, and make the frittata (see link to instructions below if need be), which you should dust with sugar upon removing it from the pan.
Instead of apples, you can use ripe strawberries, pitted cherries, or raspberries.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — —
Mike Slive sprawls in a comfy arm chair, propping his feet on a coffee table between one massive tome on Winston Churchill and an even thicker "Encyclopedia of Southern Culture."
He's relaxed and feeling awfully good about the state of the Southeastern Conference.
It's a rare moment of calm for the SEC's cerebral commissioner, but he can afford it since his "A pile" of things to do has gotten considerably slimmer over the past two years.
— Complete the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri, minus some significant scheduling questions? Check.
— Strike a deal for the SEC Network? Done.
And that recently announced network was a huge check mark for the 72-year-old Slive.
"There were a lot of things that had to be done internally as well as externally," Slive, who had been up and running since before 5 a.m. before his afternoon interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday at his downtown office. "So when we finally had the press conference, it was a really significant moment for the league but also for me personally as a culmination of something that I'd thought about for a long time and something that I thought was really very important.
"Like expansion, I try to think about the long-term horizon. As exciting as it is to think about whether A&M or Missouri can compete in whatever sport it is, that's something that's fun, but really I'm thinking more about 10 years from now and 20 years from now. I think both of these events, both of these happenings, do help ensure that the SEC can continue to maintain its prominence as one of the or the major conferences."
Slive, whose deal with the league runs through next July, sounds like a man contemplating his legacy even if he balks a bit at the term. Those two huge undertakings, the seven consecutive football national titles and his role in helping craft the particulars for the upcoming college football playoffs will undoubtedly feature prominently.
Slive also takes particular pride that NCAA sanctions aren't much of a topic in the league 11 years after taking over with Alabama and Kentucky on probation and three other football programs under investigation.
Instead of legacy, Slive refers to his job as "almost a public trust" and himself as a trustee of a league thriving in a region where five of the 11 states with members don't have major pro sports teams.
"I think more in terms of will the SEC have been better off for my being here?" Slive said. "I'm sure there are some people who would say yes and some people who would say no.
"At least up to now, in my heart I feel like we've made a contribution to make the SEC better. Whenever I decide or the league decides that my trusteeship is over, I think I'll walk away with a sense of satisfaction."
Others in the SEC aren't shy about using the legacy word. The SEC Network, a 20-year partnership with ESPN that runs through 2034, might wind up being the big capper.
Slive won't discuss revenue projections but said the network will carry 45 SEC football games and produce 1,000 live events annually.
"Mike's legacy ladder has many, many steps on it. I think this latest rung is a real credit to Mike," Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said. "He's a great leader, an outstanding communicator. He's earned the respect of people in the profession. If Mike Slive calls somebody, they're calling him back because he's earned that level of respect."

It's usually in December, but a lack of good swell in this "first" month of the winter big wave season has shifted the Mavericks Invitation Surf Contest window to January. Instead of beginning in December 2011, the window will now be open from January 1 to March 31, 2012, organizer and big wave surfer Jeff Clark said in a statement.
The Mavericks Invitational is a one-day, invitation-only surfing competition held at the legendary Mavericks surf break located just offshore Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, and 20 minutes south of San Francisco.
After a strong winter storm in the northern Pacific Ocean, waves can routinely crest at over 25 feet and there's even a claim that November 21, 2001 was a "100-foot Wednesday." The Mavericks big-wave break, called a "voodoo wave" by Surfer magazine in 1992 is caused by an unusually-shaped underwater rock formation.
The break is amazingly awe-inspiring with massive waves, dangerous rocks, shallow reef, strong currents and frigid water, and brings surfers and onlookers from all over the world. That is why it is a winter destination for some of the world's best big wave surfers. Very few riders become big wave surfers; and of those, only a select few are willing to risk the hazardous conditions at Maverick's.
Here is the list of 24 invitees and 17 alternates, which includes big-wave surfers from nearby Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz to as far away as South Africa and Australia. At any moment during the three-month period, the world's 24 best big wave surfers could be given just 24-hours notice to show up for the contest.
The invitees:
- Chris Bertish (South Africa)
- Shane Desmond (Santa Cruz)
- Anthony Tashnick (Santa Cruz)
- Ken Collins (Santa Cruz)
- Dave Wassel (Hawaii)
- Carlos Burle (Brazil)

Fall 2012 Women's Soccer: Susquehanna University

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. —
El Paso County authorities have arrested a member of a white supremacist gang linked to the killing of Colorado Corrections Director Tom Clements.
Police told CBS Affiliate KKTV that 47-year-old James Lohr, the 211 gang member linked to murder suspect Evan Ebel, was arrested overnight. The El Paso County Sheriff's Department also confirmed the arrest to KKTV.
KRDO-TV reports Lohr was taken into custody early Friday following a short foot chase after authorities stopped a car. Authorities want to question Lohr in connection to Clements' murder.
Another member of the gang, 32-year-old Thomas Goulee, is still wanted.
Authorities believe the two men were in contact with gang associate Evan Ebel days before the murders of Clements and pizza delivery man Nate Leon.
Lohr and Guolee aren't being called suspects in the death of Colorado Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements, but their names have surfaced during the investigation, El Paso County sheriff's Lt. Jeff Kramer said. He wouldn't elaborate.
Kramer said Lohr and Guolee are known associates of the 211 Crew. That's the same gang whose members included Evan Ebel, who is suspected of fatally shooting Clements on March 19 and a pizza deliveryman two days earlier.
Ebel was killed in a shootout with Texas authorities after the deaths.
Investigators have said Ebel is the only suspect in Clements' death but haven't given a motive. But they have said they're looking into his connection to the gang he joined while in prison, and whether that was connected to the attack.
The 211 gang is one of the most vicious white supremacist groups operating in U.S. prisons, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups. It was founded in 1995 to protect white prisoners from attacks and operates only in Colorado, according to the center.

Black Ops 2 Remains #1 as Hitman Absolution Hits the Shelves in UK
Although it received its worst debut within the last five years, Black Ops 2 has already outperformed Modern Warfare 3 as well as the highly popular "Hitman Absolution". It respectably earned its second week at the number one spot although sales had dropped a staggering 81%. And while this may seem like a lot, it is still performing a lot better than Modern Warfare 3, which dropped about 87% after the first week.
And by the end of the second week, the sales for Black Ops 2 were up by 15%. This suggests that there may have been some skepticism regarding the initial launch. But that is long gone now as more and more players are starting to invest in this highly popular game. Let's take a look at how the game Hitman Absolution made out.
Comparing Sales
Although Hitman Absolution couldn't make it to the number one spot in regards to sales, it did have its most successful launch in the history of the series. It outsold the 2006 game "Blood Money" by almost three times the amount. And the sales between all of the gaming consoles were very close with the PlayStation 3 at 42%, the PC at 9%, and the Xbox360 at 49%.
And well before Christmas is when the rest of the top-10 list really began to solidify itself. For example, FIFA 2013 rose about 2% in sales while Assassin's Creed III didn't raise or lower at all. It is safe to say that these two games will remain in their perspective spots for the remainder of the year. Lord of the Rings had managed to make its way to the number six spot on the charts.
UK Charts For Individual Games (November 24th, 2012)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (PlayStation 3)
- Hitman: Absolution (Xbox 360)
- Hitman: Absolution (PlayStation 3)
- Halo 4 (Xbox 360)
- Just Dance 4 (Wii)
- FIFA 2013 (Xbox 360)
- Assassin's Creed 3 (Xbox 360)
- Assassin's Creed 3 (PlayStation 3)
- Lego Lord of the Rings (Xbox 360)
UK Charts For Multi-Format Games (November 24th, 2012)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
- Hitman: Absolution (PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
- FIFA 2013 (PC, PSP, 3DS, PSV, Wii, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3)
- Assassin's Creed 3 (PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
- Halo 4 (Xbox 360)
- Lego Lord of the Rings (DS, 3DS, PSV, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
- Just Dance 4 (Wii Kinect)
- Skylanders Giants (3Ds, Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted (PSV, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
- Dishonored (PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360)
Hitman Absolution was released on Friday and again, the Xbox 360 version performed the best amounting with 50% in total sales. The PlayStation 3 accumulated about 32% of total sales while the 3DS and the Nintendo DS made up about 6% of the sales. The next week will be the release of the Wii U, one console that probably won't come close to the number one spot for Christmas. It is safe to say that Black Ops 2 will keep its spot as champion game throughout the remainder of this year.

Phone network spends £645K on Ultrafast service upgrades
3:50pm Thursday 28th February 2013 in News
MOBILE phone network 3 is upgrading its Ultrafast service in Southampton.
The firm has invested £645,000 into the network, which covers 89 per cent of the city's population, with plans to cover the rest of the city by April.
The upgrade will see customers with an Ultrafast device, such as an iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920 or Sony Xperia Z, receive increased speeds without paying a premium or needing to swap SIM cards or price plans.
It is backed up by DC-HSDPA technology, which improves the performance and efficiency of existing masts in the area, and high-speed cables.
Ricky Blomley, 3's Southampton area manager, said: "We want people to get the most out of the Internet on their smartphones and mobile devices.
"Our Ultrafast network provides great speeds, backed up by our massive data pipes and all-you-can-eat Internet prices to suit everyone."

I'd rather they invested the money in another transmitter as in Ocean Village I struggle to get a good signal whilst indoors.
But can't complain about the service, Eat as much as you like data for less than any other network.

Recipe by Craig
"Great on burgers and for general meat seasoning."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
26 ounces
1 cup
ground black pepper
6 tablespoons
onion powder
1/4 cup
garlic powder
1 tablespoon
cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
I cut this down so that my ingredients were 4 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (I weighed it), 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/16 teaspoon ginger. I sprinkled some on my salmon, covered the salmon in foil, put it on the grill, and VOILA! Yum! I saved the rest in a retired spice bottle marked well so that I'll remember what was in it! Thanks, Papa, whoever you are!
I don't like many Brands of Seasoned Salt so I was inspired to try this. I can generally look at the spices and see that I will need to adjust to my liking. I cut down on the garlic powder to 2 Tablespoons as I love garlic but my husband throttles back on it. I can always sprinkle additional Garlic later if needed. I also substituted smoked paprika for the Cayenne Pepper as Wildie suggested. I have young grandsons that don't like the extra heat. I also added 1 Tablespoon of ground Thyme. It's one of my favorite spices so I threw it in. Thumbs up to this creation! My husband even commented on how good it was.

I was looking for a recipe like this...can be used for any meats, as well as vegetables on the grill, stews, etc. One Change I made was to substitute smoked paprika (1 tsp) in place of the ginger. Very close to Riley's all purpose seasoning.
I think "Papa's Seasoning Salt" is perfect for french fries. I make spice blends from all over the world but had never tried seasoned salt before. Marianne on THEBUZZ had recommended this one, so I decided to give it a try. I followed the scaled down version of this recipe Marianne had posted in her own review. I found that this blend is rather addictive in a good way: I couldn't stop eating it even though I didn't initially find it extraordinarily delicious. I think that it is the onion-garlic-ginger combination that makes it addictive, although I wouldn't actually be able to identify a ginger flavor if I didn't know that ginger was an ingredient. I made mine with Celtic sea salt and homemade 4-pepper blend. I found that "Papa's Seasoning Salt" became more delicious with time after the flavors melded. Thank you Craig and Marianne for sharing this recipe.

Hooray for you, Sarah. What a fireball you are! I'm so proud of you for your passion, enthusiasm and intuitiveness to get the job done. You are truly amazing!
I work with a group who makes quilts for foster children. These children need even just ONE thing that is their's no matter where they live. In the foster care system, the kids move residences all too often and they will always have your cuddly blankets to keep them feeling special.
Yes, emancipation at 18 is an awful time for them, too. They lose what little support system they may have. The problems these children face begin young and carry well into their adult years.
I am inspired by you, Sarah.
Thank you.

Remember "Stunt 101"? That was the first time I ever heard Young Buck on a G-Unit song. I recall concluding at the time that he was the weak link in a lyrically sub-par (albeit commercially viable) bunch. Straight Outta Cashville, Buck's solid debut, arrived less than a year later and turned my argument on its head.
Fast forward to 2007. The Young Buck of "Stunt 101" makes an unwelcome reappearance on Buck the World.
Buck The World Review
Buck, faced with the daunting task of restoring G-Unit to its glory, looks inward for inspiration. He gets introspective on the searing title track and laments personal tragedies on "Slow Ya Roll." But his eagerness to redeem the Unit is sometimes marred by a lack of focus, as he goes from pimp-playa persona to typical tough-guy talk without catching a breath.
A Musical Experiment
Musically, Buck the World is an experiment of sorts, going from southern fried gems ("Buss Yo Head") to tired g-funk synths ("Get Buck"). Dr. Dre offers 3 poignant beats. (It's the least he could do after Buck stabbed a man for punching Dre at the 2004 Vibe Awards.) The hefty sound of "U Ain't Goin' Nowhere" provides a sturdy soundbed for Buck to lay his mack game on, while the menacing bass of "Clean Up Man" matches his deadpan delivery. The Doc completes his three-peat showdown with "Hold On," which features just enough horns and drum claps to make it enjoyable.
Not all the experiments yield good results. DJ Toomp's contribution on "Pocket Full of Papers" is uninspired and unmemorable. "Money Good," the weak Lil Jon concoction, which sounds like it was lifted from Game's "We Ain't," also takes away from the album.
Compatible Collaborators
Buck looks beyond his posse (50 Cent is the lone G-Unit collaborator on Buck the World) for collaborations. Bun B blesses the hard-hitting "Say It to My Face," while Young Jeezy makes 2 appearances on "Pocket Full of Paper" and "4 Kings." Unfortunately, the barrage of guests makes Buck a forgettable figure on his own album.
The Bottom Line on Buck The World
Buck the World has all the hallmarks of a G-Unit mantra: grit, girls, and guns. Despite the album's creative pitfalls, core G-Unit fans will appreciate Buck's blend of veracious vignettes and belligerent boasts.

The Raingam Enterprise is a small undertaking initiated by few young volunteers to provide free computer education to orphans and neglected children especially, from poverty stricken families. Our primary aim is to introduce these poor children to the lessons and application of computers, and to subsequently guide them towards building their own future.
Located at Ukhrul, a most neglected, remote north-eastern Indian town bordering Myanmar where shortage of everything ranging from water to electricity is faced, it has not been an easy task for us to carry on with an initiative as this. Ukhrul is a small hilly town hit by poverty and crisis where Indigenous Nagas live. It is one place where suppressive policies of India reign while deliberately or systematically depriving the population of any government benefit. Even salaries of government employees in this district, on which the entire population directly or indirectly depends, are often delayed for a year or more. One can well imagine the destitution of the orphans and the poor in a situation wherein, even normal families live hand to mouth.
It is in the backdrop of these challenging situations that the Raingam Enterprise was established. We the volunteers, most of whom are orphans ourselves, have been doing everything at our capacity to keep it running for the past 6 years since its establishment in the year 2004. Side by side with the routine computer classes, the institution does small business in the form of mobile repairing, photo copy, lamination, desktop publishing works etc. We also maintain a public phone booth besides acting as a ticket agent for few travel companies. These have been our humble ways of raising funds to run the institution/organization.
Is a matter of great joy to know that many of these old students are now self-struggling, pursuing further computer studies on their own, or working with companies in different cities. We, the volunteers are proud that we have been able to show the light at the end of the tunnel to the despondent youngsters who absolutely had no future.
The Raingam Enterprise is determined to carry on with this mission and continue to be a source of hope for the many deprived children in and around Ukhrul. We have dreams to upgrade and expand this free computer education program. We also dream to transform our little set-up into an orphanage home. But the meager earnings we obtain from our micro-scale business (which is the lone source of our income) is hardly sufficient to run the institute and feed the staffs. Allowances for the staffs and students are out of the question.
Regrettably thus, we are hardly able to accommodate a dozen students in a single batch. Shortage of funds, space, personnel and computers has handicapped us from doing beyond this. It is sad that since the establishing year, the total numbers of orphans we have taught so far are only around 60.
This is why this organization is forced to seek outside help from benevolent donors. We look forward to receiving supports from people who love the poor and disadvantaged in the form of sympathy, encouragement, financial and material helps and prayers. Let us together help those who are genuinely in need of help. Let us be a hope for the hopeless. If we feel pity for a child trapped in a burning house, why must we have less mercy for a boatful of helpless children bound to sink?
Nearly a decade ago (2002) our family with few friends got together and decided to set up a small organization (as a non-profit/profit) called The Raingam Enterprise after our family name. Back then, we didn't know what exactly we should be doing, but our aim was to give free computer education to Orphans while we run small services like Computer Repair Services, Mobile Repair Services, etc.. After few years we somehow managed to setup The Raingam Enterprise at a locality called Phungreitang (East), in Ukhrul Town. But the actual business of our organization and the services came later one after another since we had not much to invest. In the first few years, we do Electronics Repair Services and then the following year we managed to install a couple of computers and then again we started the Computer Repair Services followed by Mobile Repair Services.
Once the computers were installed, we got the chance to offer Basic Computer classes to the Orphans. Even though it's not a large scale, we are still running and working hard to upgrade it. This year (2011) we've been offered by the Land lord of the Star Hotel, Viewland to run our organization's business in his extra 4-room apartment (top floor). Hopefully, we'll be able to do more and run everything better from September 2011.
With the income from the Services, we manage everything from Rent to purchasing spares and from Power Bill to Telephone Bill.
In the conclusion, we would like to declare ourselves that we are not doing all these because we have sufficient materials, manpower, money, etc... but only to help those who are desperately in need of help and support and to those who are needier than we are while we generate a small income. We have nothing and we don't even have enough resources to meet our daily needs, and most of all, we are not highly qualified, but we are only extending and sharing our knowledge from whatever we've learned. Hope people won't judge us for our weaknesses, but will support us and help keep The Raingam Enterprise strong.

Jeffersonville's Drainage Board got its first full view of the stormwater masterplan at its meeting last week.
The 21-page presentation given to the drainage board offered the scope of problems with the stormwater system in the city and a host of solutions to improve Jeffersonville. Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LCC helped develop the masterplan during the last 18 months with local partner Jacobi, Toombs and Lanz, Inc.
"The masterplan provides a roadmap," said Sheila McKinley, senior resource planner for environmental planning with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LCC. "That's pretty important. It's going to get you from where you are now with some flooding, drainage, water quality issues to hopefully resolving those issues. It addresses both existing and anticipated future problems."
She said within the study 205 problems were identified and mapped related to drainage and stormwater issues in Jeffersonville. The breakdown of the problems included 32 flooded buildings, 46 instances of street flooding, 60 drainage issues and 20 restrictive structures or obstructions.
For the issues identified there were 45 solutions offered.
"[The] masterplan components were prioritized based on several factors including access to funding, independence from other projects and ease of implementation," McKinley said.
Within the plan 33 components were identified, which consisted of 15 structural projects. Structural projects included projects like adding green infrastructure, upgrading or installing storm sewers and constructing water detention systems. The remaining 18 components were nonstructural and consisted of things like updating ordinances and policies, updating the flood response plan and conducting additional, or more in-depth stream studies.
Siavash Beik, director of the water resource department with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LLC recommended doing a mix between structural and non-structural solutions to address the stormwater problems.
He explained that nonstructural changes could greatly impact local residents with things like their designation in a floodplain.
If an improved flood mapping study were undertaken, it could change the area floodplain maps, moving some homes out of those areas. By doing that the homes would not be required to purchase flood insurance and as a result could save a significant amount of money.
But Jacobi, Toombs and Lanz Engineer Josh Hillman warned that flooding is not the only issue the drainage board will be dealing with in choosing the projects and recommendations offered in the masterplan.
"Some of what you're going to see in the masterplan is that we're not only dealing with a water quantity issue, we're dealing with a water quality issue that are things that are soon to become regulations from IDEM [Indiana Department of Environmental Management] and the EPA," he said.
City Engineer Andy Crouch added it will be the drainage board's decision to prioritize which items are undertaken first, although a series of recommendations were offered.
"This is a draft plan and this is your plan," he said. "If you did all these [solutions] ... and we got another Aug. 4, 2009 that rolled through here tomorrow, all bets are off," he added. "This will solve it up to a type of storm and an amount of water that we typically can handle and what most communities can handle."
Jorge Lanz, president of Jacobi, Toombs and Lanz Inc., encouraged the board to review the plan and come back with questions or comments at the drainage board's second January meeting.
"I think from this plan we should be able to put together some kind of a budget [and] look and see what other monies are available," he said.
Lanz added that there are three projects that are ready to move forward on in the spring.
One project is the Roselawn Court and Magnolia Avenue drainage improvement project, with an estimated construction cost of $475,000. The plans for the drainage improvements are to be finalized by February and construction is set to begin in April.
Two other projects that have been proposed for the spring but are not under way are the retention pond at Falls Landing Park and an improvement project at 8th Street and Hopkins Lane.
At its end of the year meeting the Jeffersonville Sewer Board agreed to move funds, awarded bids and approved chipping in on upgrading the county's mapping system.
The sewer board agreed to move up to $1 million into its cumulative improvement fund out of its operating budget based on recommendation previously offered by Umbaugh and Associates. The remaining money in the operating fund — about $1.19 million — will be rolled into the sewer board's operating budget for next year.
Money that was already designated to Jeffersonville was also returned. The sewer board agreed, contingent upon review by Sewer Board Attorney Scott Lewis, to return $200,000 to the state in money that was designated out of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.
Controller Monica Harmon explained that the state was requesting a portion of the money for brownfield cleanup in the city be returned because the funds must be spent by June 30 or they will be lost. The total designated to Jeffersonville was $772,000 and the state requested $200,000 be returned. However, the $200,000 that was returned will be replaced by the state out of another fund.
A notice of award was approved for the Lentzier Creek pump station — south pump station — which includes the interceptor pipe and a force main project.
The award winners will work on three portions of the project and MAC Construction and Excavating was awarded division one at a total of $5.7 million, Excel Excavating Inc. was awarded division two at a total of $1.98 million and Dan Cristiani Excavating, Inc. was awarded division three at a total of $744,851.
The Liters force main, or north pump station, project award went to Lykins Contracting Inc. for a total of $1.54 million.
The contracts must still be signed and returned to the sewer board for final approval at its Jan. 3 meeting.
A payment was approved to split the cost of a pictometry flyover between the Jeffersonville City Council and the Jeffersonville Redevelopment Commission. The cost for each entity will total $14,000.
Clark County Assessor Vicky Kent-Haire requested the city help pay for the flyover at a redevelopment commission meeting to update the county's GIS website last week. The GIS system maps property information in the county, including property records, aids in property assessment and includes information like sewer line locations among other information.
The total cost of the flyover will total $169,223, with the city's portion equaling $42,000. Clark County and the town of Clarksville have also agreed to split the cost.

About Kiss Me Deadly Wholesale
Kiss Me Deadly is an independent boutique brand with no investors.
We produce lingerie, swimwear, steel boned corsets and some accessories and hosiery. As a fashion brand competing with a rapidly moving UK high street, our focus is on limited editions. Established in 2006, by 2012 we were voted the UK's favourite lingerie brand, and our designs are sought after items across the globe!
Are you a shop, website or both? We're interested in retailers who understand the value of independent brands and know what we mean by the scarcity effect! We regularly turn down retailers who don't have enough points of difference, and you must hold stock - no drop shipping, no sales from images, and your orders should give customers a good offering of our brand. We've been through our sales figures and talked to our customers so we know what they love.
Frequently asked questions: >
Where do you make your goods?
Our manufacturing is spread across the globe with around 30% in the UK. Within the UK we often use upcycled fabrics. You can read more about our manufacturing and it's issues on our diary.
Do you provide images?
We provide high resolution images for products once you have ordred and paid for a saleable quantity. You can order just one of a thing to see the fit and quality, but you may not sell from it.
Do you have a Minimum Order Quantity?
Yes, its is £100 and this is primarily intended for sample orders and top-ups. Because wholesale margins are low, we do rewards buyers as their orders increase.

We charge a £15 fee for orders between £100 and £200 in the UK; orders over that any delivery costs are free. For Europe and the rest of the world you delivery charges are fixed and depend on your order value.
Do you hold stock?
Yes we do and we can turn orders for it around in 2-3 days. However, we do have limits so some products have order deadlines, and when we say limited edition we really mean it! Sometimes we only have a limited amount of the fabric so it would be impossible to rerun no matter how great a seller, but generally we're just a fast-moving brand looking at novel colourways and designs.
What are your payment terms?
All orders are pro forma and payment would be by bank transfer (In sterling or Euro), debit or credit card (sterling amounts only), or cheque within the UK.
I'm in the USA, how do I deal with import issues?
You don't have to! Milltex are our USA agents and we will forward your wholesale interest to them so that you receive landed prices.

Police fraud probe over Cockermouth store money
Last updated at 19:43, Thursday, 31 May 2012
A senior member of staff has been sacked from Cockermouth's Lakes Home Centre and police are investigating after allegations that money was taken from the company.
Police have confirmed that a 42-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and bailed while inquiries continue.
It is understood she lives in the town.
Lakes Home Centre managing director Patrick Lister said that a woman had been dismissed from the store's accounts department but would not confirm how much money was involved.
The arrest came after another employee found a discrepancy in the end-of-year accounts for the Low Road store.
The woman arrested had worked at the store since before Mr Lister took over in 2004.
He declined to comment further.
A spokeswoman for Cumbria police confirmed that the force had been contacted by a Cockermouth business regarding allegations of theft of money by an employee.
She said: "As a result, a woman aged 42 was arrested on suspicion of fraud and has been bailed until July 9, while police continue with their inquiries."

The Rieve's store in Odenton is expected to be back open in its historic building Monday.
The store, which had been operating from a temporary location for about six months, is back in its original building, now located behind the new Walgreens.
The Rieve's building was literally picked up and moved in April to make space for the new drug store.
It's now possible to access Rieve's by going through the driveway between Walgreens and the Odenton Ace Hardware, or from a driveway off Odenton Road.
The Rieve's store, now owned by Sunny Patel, has been of great interest to historians in Odenton. The store was opened in the 1930s and operated by Werner Charles Rieve. It was a popular place for workers in Odenton to go and grab some coffee and sandwiches, and there was also an extensive candy case.
Here's an excerpt of an essay written by Werner Charles Rieve's son:
"My father usually kept his store open until 8:00 pm in the evening. This gave the working people in the area time to come to the store for odds and ends after the evening meal. There were no convenience stores open 24 hours as there are today. A store such as the one my father had was probably a lot more friendly than most convenience stores though. There were many reasons for this, such as the friendly atmosphere generated by the local customers. They came to Rieve's store not just to buy food; they came there to keep in touch with each other and the community. Those customers WERE the community, and they generated an atmosphere unique to contemporary society. These were working people, "blue collar" by today's standards, but solid citizens whose standards were high."
The Odenton Heritage Society recently found an old black-and-white photo of the store (attached). The photo features original store owner Werner C. Rieve and two unidentified women. Roger White, president of the Odenton Heritage Society, said he would like the public's help in identifying the two women.
For more history about the store, check out the Odenton Heritage Society's website.
