Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot
Silverado Vineyards has made excellent Cabernet Sauvignon since 1981, but only 12 vintages have merited the rare Limited label. Limited Cabernet Sauvignon is produced only in optimal years, when small lots of wine are blended to express the essence of classic, age worthy Napa Valley Cabernet. 2005 was that kind of year.
Vineyard Sources: Mt. George Vineyard (62%) Located east of Napa, Mt. George Vineyard is the site of one of the first grape plantings in the valley in the 19th century. The deep, gravelly soils are derived from volcanic rock and ash, providing depth and structure to Silverado's wines. Stags Leap Vineyard (38%) This sloping, gravelly soils and sunny exposure of this vineyard helped establish the reputation of Stags Leap District for fine Cabernet.
"Broodingly backward, but enormously promising is the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Reserve, a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Dense purple to the rim, with restrained, but promising aromas of lavender, roasted herbs, blueberries, and black currants, this wine hits the palate with sensational concentration, and elevated, but sweet, well-integrated tannins. It is a full-bodied, dense, exceptionally pure, harmonious Cabernet with long-term potential. Forget it for 3-5 years, and drink it over the following 25-30 years. Rated 94+." 94 Points The Wine Advocate
"Impresses for its depth, power and balance, a wine whose classic acid-tannin structure could only have come from a pedigreed terroir. There's an enormous concentration of black currants and minerals, but the wine is immature in astringent tannins. Needs time, and possibly lots of it. Best 2011 and beyond." 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Inky hue with a garnet rim. Dusty, chalky scents followed by mint, plum, tobacco and leather. Tasty cherry with smoky oak accents. Very dry, compact finish with promising fruit and structure." 92 Points The Wine News
In the heart of Napa Valley's Stags Leap District sits a rocky peak with a spectacular Mediterranean-style stone winery perched on top. That winery is the iconic Silverado Vineyards, established in 1981 by Ron and Diane Disney Miller. Thirty years later, three generations of Miller Family continue to source grapes entirely from their family-owned estate Napa vineyards. From...Read More About Silverado
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

East Moria: Evil mode
The Troll fights are easy if you take out the light caricatures and move up the line with Massive Swing. It costs so little that you can use it every turn. Then for the Goblins, the key to victory is in your Shadow Cheiftans' Dark Renewal ability. Playing the Balrog is fun if you experiment with your lesser attacks. However, if you really need to do damage, use Pillar of Wrath. It is an instant kill on anyone except for Gandalf, even if they are at full health.

So the accidental discovery of Pluto's fourth moon by the Hubble Space Telescope in mid-2011 raised the possibility that the hazards in the Pluto system might be greater than previously anticipated.

I never order from anywhere else anymore...My only complaint is NP is so popular they have trouble keeping things in stock That and they don't have Universal's EAA Stack....yet
I never order from anywhere else anymore...My only complaint is NP is so popular they have trouble keeping things in stock That and they don't have Universal's EAA Stack....yet
I only order from NP since I joined AM about 2 years ago. Only had one issue with the quality of my Kwick Karb and it was resolved above and beyond. When I go in a store to buy my heavy protein powders I even tell the guys there to order from NP. And I didn't have to hit up the store last month with the free shipping so even better. Not trying to brown nose anyone - just telling it like it is. NP is the sh*znit.
I think, by seeing the way the reps responded on this thread, the answer to your question..
"Is this how you treat a 1st time customer???"
.. is a resounding "yes". They're fantastic
You can understand the need to verify such a large order.. imagine somebody stole your card and placed something equally as big.. if NP didn/t verify, you'd be down $500+. Hell, my credit card verified once when I bought $50 worth of individual protein bars (CVS screwed up with pricing and was shooting Detour bars out for $0.40 per instead of the $1.80+ per.. I emptied out the store when I realized it )
Nice Products, Nice Prices, Nice People, No Problems....NutraPlanet.com!....Welcome to our World!
Not going good so far. Here is an update.
Email from owner:
"Dear Andrew, I wanted to personally apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. After doing some investigation, it appears that the two orders were deleted because of the untimely response to our verification request. The reason you received a verification email is because of the large orders placed back to back, plus the international billing address and U.S. shipping address.
It appears that the customer service rep you spoke with noted the account just as another service rep was deleting the orders and crediting back the card because of the lapse in time span.
For your records, here is the approval codes for the following credits applied back to your card (please allow a couple business days for your bank to refund the credit):
##########: credit amount $118.36 on 3/10/09
##########: credit amount $310.23 on 3/10/09
Unfortunately, because the order was deleted, we cannot regenerate the order for you. You will have to replace the order and checkout as you normally would. For your inconvenience, I added $10 NutraBucks to your account. When you go to checkout, the site will automatically deduct the $10 from the subtotal.
Once you place the order, please email me the order number(s) and I will make sure the order gets processed and shipped in a timely fashion without any hold ups.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we effort to protect your payment security!
Sam Hong"
I reply back:
"Hi Sam,
I need to make one point really clear, I DID NOT make an untimely response to your verification request.
I have emails that prove I received your verification request on March 3/09 10:45 AM.
I email back with verification information at March 3/09 10:51 AM. That is within 6 mins of receiving the email!!!
2 hours later March 3/09 12:12 PM, a CSR replies back that everything is taken care of.
I totally understand about the verification process that isn't the reason why I am unhappy.
I am unhappy because I followed the exact instructions and even got CONFIRMATION from a CSR rep that everything is ok.
I did nothing wrong and have emails to prove everything was done in a timely matter...again 6mins!
Are you telling me that Nutraplanet expects customers to reply back faster than 6 mins or their orders get deleted? Isn't that kind of ridiculous?
Own replies back:
"Andrew, my apologies. I was looking at the last correspondence date. I see now that your original response was sent on March 3rd. Sorry for the oversight.
I spoke with all my customer service reps and realize how we dropped the ball here. We've made the appropriate changes to prevent this from happening in the future.
As you stated, you did everything correctly on your end. Normally these things go smoothly, but on occasion certain anomalies cause these hang ups. I'm sorry that your first experience was affected in such a manner. But I assure you that your next order will go through smoothly.
Thank you for choosing NutraPlanet.
Sam Hong"
I reply back:
"Hi Sam,
Well if you are acknowledging the problem at your end, then shouldn't you do something about it?
You guys keep saying that I can re-order, but I'm sure that you and I are both aware that the sale for 15% MAN products is over.
My $430 order was all MAN products, needless to say...I saved some money from the sale.
If I replace my order, am I going to get the same prices?
Sounds like you are leaving me in a hole.
I am currently waiting for a reply back. I'm not seeing this "above and beyond" customer service that many of you mentioned.
This is what I keep hearing that I am pissed about getting verified. I am NOT, I am not happy because my order got screwed up when it wasn't my fault.
Exact quote that I emailed the owner.
"I totally understand about the verification process that isn't the reason why I am unhappy.
I am unhappy because I followed the exact instructions and even got CONFIRMATION from a CSR rep that everything is ok.
I did nothing wrong and have emails to prove everything was done in a timely matter...again 6mins!"
Read my posts. Do you see where I am coming from now?
Sam has owned the fact that they made a mistake. He affirmed that you did everything correctly.
My advice to you is to continue to communicate with him in private. There is no need to post up your correspondence for the world to read.
Additionally, consider the way you communicate your issue. You would be better suited to make a statement more like the following:
I would be happy to reorder with your company. Would please you be kind enough to consider honoring the 15% discount that applied at the time of my order before the error took place.
Thank you in advance for your consideration."
The man admitted he made a mistake. Would you like to be a satisfied customer or would you prefer to rub the mans nose in it? There is a difference and your approach makes me question your motives. Please consider allowing the man the opportunity to make things right.
Thank you.
I agree with B...
Maybe I think this way from years of dealing with Sources on other boards but when someone owns up to their mistake it should be kept off the boards...he's trying to make it right and you are being rude and plastering the issue all over the internet...
I agree with what you are saying. I know I'm probably acting like a 10 yr old. I wouldn't have even posted everything if the problem was solved. I am not trying to rub it in ANYONE's face. Sam was definitely being a MAN and admitted to the mistake.
I apologize if I offended him or anyone from Nutraplanet. This is not what I'm trying to do.
I am just frustrated that my only solution that I was offered is to re-order when the sale is over.
Again, I want to apologize to Sam and everyone at Nutraplanet for any type of disrespect. I'll control myself better from now on.
Again I agree.
I want to make my point that if the solution I offered was that my order will be sent as order at the same prices I paid...no problem.
How would you feel if you were only offered $10 and to re-order at 15% higher prices after waiting 2 weeks? Do you know what I mean?
Again, I totally acknowledge that I'm being an immauture ****.
Like B mentioned, we can apply the 15%; just confirm it with Sam via email first, then he will adjust the price on your order. It was our mistake, and we want to give you at the very least the same great savings you had initially. You're in good hands; just keep on working those emails and this should be all done in no time.
ive only ordered from NP since like 2003
darren at the arnold promised me that i can order whatever i want for free
can I do that now
toes-on-the-nose.blogspot.com Deployed blogging
True to your words.
Spoke with Sam again and I think everything is going to be ok, we just working out the details of the re-order.
I want to thank B. for pointing out that I was being a hot-head and I have re-read what I wrote and can see how my comments can be seen as rude and disrespectful.
I have personally apologized to Sam for this and hope there are no hard feelings.
I'm going to ask him to write me a cover letter instead. The way he can word things and make it sound so pleasant is a work of art. I'm going to need a part time job if I'm going to be a customer here =)
I'm going to post photos when I get my stuff...just to make you guys jealous =D

Yields 8 large turnovers.
When the first few nights turn chilly, all thoughts go to baking—and apples. These turnovers are a classic guaranteed to fill your kitchen with the homey smells of fall. You also use this wonderful, flaky dough to make open-faced rustic tarts called galettes. If you don't want to make all of the turnovers at once, you can freeze some of the dough, well wrapped. Defrost in the refrigerator before rolling it out.
In a mixing bowl, combine the 10 oz. flour, the 1 tsp. sugar, and the salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the butter bits are pea-size. (You can also use a food processor or a stand mixer, just be sure not to overmix the dough.) Add the water all at once and mix until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough and shape it into two disks.
Cut each disk into quarters. With lightly floured hands, shape each quarter into a flat oval about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. Cover the ovals with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Line two baking sheets with kitchen parchment. Heat the oven to 400°F. Flour a smooth work surface well. With a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a larger oval, approximately 10 inches long and 6 inches wide. The dough should be almost paper-thin. Brush off any excess flour.
Spoon 1 tsp. flour and 1 tsp. sugar on one half of each oval. Reassemble half an apple on each pile of flour and sugar. Sprinkle 2 tsp. sugar and a pinch of cinnamon over the apple.
Fold the other half of the oval over the apples so that it falls just shy of the edge of the bottom half. Gently mold the dough around the apple to eliminate any trapped air. Fold the edge of the bottom half up over the edge of the top half and press to seal. Flute the edge as you would a pie. Brush the top of the turnovers with the melted butter and sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Use a spatula to move the turnovers from the baking sheet to a cooling rack. These are best served warm but are also good at room temperature.

by lynnebair, 9/29/2012Great result the very first time! I took the hint of the previous reviewer who suggested an egg wash and it produced a nice shiny finish. I disagree slightly that no skill required and that the thickness of the dough doesn't matter. I think it does and it can be a little tricky to get it that thin without sticking to the surface. But this is not really hard-just work fast and keep dough chilled. You will get it after rolling out one. This was a wonderful use of the first local apples of the early fall . I also enjoyed the accompanying article about which apples to use- though You can hardly go wrong.
by lauac, 11/17/2010Amazing recipe! I baked them for 45 mins and rotated the pan halfway through. Don't worry if they bubble over a bit, they still taste great. The dough doesn't really need to be rolled out paper thin- I would roll them a little thicker, say 5 in x 8 in ovals. I would also brush them with an egg wash instead of melted butter because it looks like they could use a sheen. I will definitely make these again! So easy to do!

Capital Beltway repaving work begins
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Motorists are being advised to avoid a portion of the Capital Beltway near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge as a major repaving project gets under way.
As part of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project, thru lanes of the beltway's inner loop - also designated as I-95 and I-495 South - will be reduced to one lane between the bridge and Telegraph Road beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday.
A temporary second local lane will be opened in the work zone to ease traffic congestion.
The work is expected to last until 5 a.m. Monday, and to cause traffic problems throughout the weekend in Maryland and Virginia.
Drivers are urged to use the inner loop local lanes on Friday.

Deshaun Thomas scored 25 points, including 10 during a game-breaking 15-0 second-half run, to lead No. 11 Ohio State past Wisconsin 58-49 on Tuesday night.
The leading scorer in the Big Ten, Thomas took over the game as both teams tried to gain leverage in a typically physical matchup between them.
The victory moved Ohio State (16-4, 6-2 Big Ten) into third place in the Big Ten and dropped Wisconsin (14-7, 5-3) two games off the pace set by co-leaders Indiana and Michigan (6-1).
Traevon Jackson, the son of Buckeyes great Jimmy Jackson, led the Badgers with 12 points in the arena where his dad's jersey hangs from the rafters.

Michael Eckstut and Nancy Bergsteinsson; Archstone Consulting
Pharma has come to the end of the blockbuster era. A new era that is beginning will reward focus and efficiency in R&D, commercial development, supply chain, and sales and marketing. Overall, there will be greater use of partnerships and alliances, more outsourcing, and more effective use of information processes and technology. The result: A new business model that will require the current industry to undergo a significant amount of operational right-sizing of costs and capacities (both human and physical). End of the blockbuster Alliances and acquisitions Behind all of these trends—and compounding their effect—is the rising cost of bringing a compound to market, currently estimated by the Tufts University Center for the Study of Drug Development at $1.2 billion in 2008, up from $800 million five years ago. With the demise of the blockbuster model, additional focus must be paid to costs, as revenues per product are expected to decline. Right-sizing Physician outreach Consultant relations Michael Eckstut, Principal and Global Life Sciences Practice Leader and Nancy Bergsteinsson, Manager, Life Sciences Practice at Archstone.

Fembot Central
What can I say about Fembot Central that hasn't been said by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal? A few things actually. BREATHTAKING. A TOUR DE FORCE. AMAZING SPECIAL EFFECTS. I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. Oh wait that was the movie Big Mama's Family. Oh well, here's some shit.
One thing I like to do is glue tinfoil to my girlfriend while she's sleeping and stick antennae in her ears. I'm joking of course. But I think if I really did like to do that I wouldn't have a girlfriend. "doctor_robo" knows this all too well.
I am furious that Vickie the Robot did not make it in the list. I am going to write an angry letter to my congressman!
If people put half the effort into their job, family, and friends that they put into female sex robot fantasies it would mean a better world for all of us.
It's like The Flintstones meet the Jetsons except a lot creepier and disgusting.
Is Ad Police some kind of cop drama about the advertising industry? Don't be scared of advertisers that promise what they can't deliver because the AD POLICE is on the job!
I do!
It's strange. You could be living your everyday life and you never know what the bastard next to you is jerking off to at home. Think about it, your best friend just might jerk off to female robot porn and he's coming for you next!
That's amazing. Simply breathtaking.
Only three episodes left until the big finale of this show! The finale you have all been waiting for to season 4. Or was it season 5?
Top 10 Billionaires in the World? Most Powerful People in Tech? We've seen lists just like these for decades now. Recent features like Best Billionaires Under 40 have attempted to shake things up by getting more specific, but they need to go even further.
Did anybody even want this sequel?
James Callis delivers easily the best-worst Merlin performance of the last 500 years.
There are hundreds of stories happening on the World Wide Web. Let me tell you, that's a very wide web. Our goal at Weekend Web is to bring you the latest headlines from around the Internet. We go into the very bowels of message boards everywhere and find out what millions of online citizens have to say.

New York-based investment bank Jefferies has been on a hiring spree across many of its businesses, especially in the past few months as it picked up several new managing directors. The frenetic hiring activity will slow in the second half of the year, a source familiar with the matter said.
Throughout April, May and June, the firm announced hires in fixed income, Asia equities sales and trading, real estate investment banking, financial institutions investment banking and global equity research. Jefferies picked up talent from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and other bulge-bracket banks.
A spate of hires announced in the spring are the fruits of recruiting activity in January and February as Jefferies was eager to capitalize on investment bankers ready to leave firms after receiving their annual bonuses, the source said. The end of the winter recruiting season prompted Jefferies to scale back its hiring.
The company had scooped up scores of fleeing bankers from larger Wall Street firms in the wake of the financial crisis and had continued hiring in 2010, increasing headcount by 353 employees from early 2010 through early 2011. The firm has said that it wants to compete with the bulge-bracket, and as a result, has stopped referring to itself as a boutique investment bank in recent months.
Jefferies declined to comment for this story.
CEO Richard Handler cautioned in March that the hiring would slow to a trickle, saying that "we feel like, at this point, we're making selected additions as opposed to the whole scale hires that we had historically."
Recent Hires
The firm announced today that Tim Sullivan and Harold DeRolph will join as managing director's in the firm's investment grade corporate bond business in the fixed income division.
Sullivan comes from UBS where he was a managing director in credit trading. DeRolph was at Citadel Securities where he was a portfolio manager for distressed credit and event-driven equities.
The announcement came on the heels of several others this week, including Susan Bonsell will join as an MD in fixed income sales in Dallas and Clifford Lanier will join as an MD and head of fixed income cross product sales. According to the firm, there are nearly 525 professionals globally in the fixed income business.
The hiring appears to have done the firm some good. In March, net revenues were up 31% from the year earlier period, and investment banking revenues were up 21%, while global trading revenues were up 32%. The firm was recently ranked the No. 2 equity broker for North America and the No. 8 equity broker globally by Bloomberg. It was ranked No. 1 in U.S. stock picking in the 2011 Financial Times/StarMine equity research analysis for 2010.
Jefferies will report its second quarter earnings on June 21.

Is your child at risk of catching measles?
A national catch-up programme to increase MMR vaccination uptake in children and teenagers was announced on Thursday 25 April by Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and the Department of Health. The aim of the programme is to prevent measles outbreaks by vaccinating as many unvaccinated and partially vaccinated 10-16 year olds as possible in time for the next school year.
If your child is aged 10-16 years old and has not received the necessary vaccinations you should receive a letter inviting you to make an appointment. If you have not received a letter and you think your child may need vaccinating please contact your GP surgery as soon as possible.
Patients over the age of 16 who feel that they may be at risk of contracting measles may request the MMR vaccination.

When visiting the surgery please park considerately. The public car park in front of Eynsham Medical Centre is free and provides easy access to the surgery. Please avoid parking in Evans Road; the road is narrow and parking is limited. Thank you for your consideration.

Syria: ISIS destroy Sufi shrine, impose jizya tax
Militants from the Qaeda-aligned insurgent group ISIS destroyed a Sufi Muslim shrine as they advanced on Tal Maaruf village in Syria's Kurdish-majority Hassakeh province, residents said Feb. 27. ISIS militants "blew up the shrine, and burned a mosque and a police station," said Massoud Akko, a Kurdish journalist and native of Hassakeh province, told Lebanon's Daily Star. ISIS also came under fire in their stronghold of Raqqa, as even rival jihadists criticized the group's intention to impose a special "jizya" tax on Chrsitians and other religious minorities in their areas of control—including the provincial capital.
UK: ex-Gitmo detainee in Syria terror bust
British police counter-terrorism forces announced on Feb. 25 the arrest of Moazzam Begg in his hometown of Birmingham, England, along with three other individuals on suspicion of terrorism offenses related to the war in Syria. Begg was a detainee at Guantánamo Bay, and he was one of the last detainees from the UK to be returned. British authorities have expressed concern about their citizens fighting in jihadist groups in Syria, and Begg is the most high profile arrestee in connection with the UK's attempt to minimize influence in the Syrian conflict. The police reported Begg is suspected of attending a terrorist training camp and facilitating terrorism overseas. According to British counter-terrorism laws, the police are authorized to detain Begg for up to 14 days, and police will conduct a search of the arrestee's vehicles and electronic devices.
Yemen: autonomy or separatism?
A presidential panel in Yemen on Feb. 10 released a plan to transform the country into a "federal state of six regions" as part of its US-brokered political transition. Interim President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi convened the panel last month, at the end of a "national dialogue" on new territorial divisions to be incorporated into a new constitution this year. The former North Yemen is to be broken up into the regions of Azal, Saba, Janad and Tahama; the former South Yemen into Aden and Hadramout. The capital city of Sanaa is to have "a special status in the Constitution to guarantee its independence and impartiality," said a report in the state news agency. The port city of Aden, the former capital of South Yemen, would also have "independent legislative and executive powers."
Turkey: street clashes over cyber freedom
Riot police in Istanbul used water cannons against demonstrators Feb. 9 in the latest protest against a bill that would increase government control over the Internet. Last month, demonstrators attempted to occupy Istanbul's main Taksim Square in protest of the law, before being evicted by riot police with water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets. The bill, granting Turkey's telecommunications authority the ability to block websites or remove content without a court order, has been approved by parliament and awaits the signature of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey made almost 1,700 requests for Google to remove material from the web in the first six months of 2013—more than three times any other country, and a rise of nearly 1,000% in one year. Google says most of the requests were turned down. (AFP, Feb. 9; Jurist, Feb. 7; Euronews, Jan. 18)
Egypt: jihad against feloul?
Egypt's military is denying that its chief of staff, Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, told Kuwaiti newspaper al-Siyasah that he will run for president in elections that are still yet to be scheduled. The newspaper quoted him as saying he could "not reject the demand" of the people that he should stand. Former strongman Hosni Mubarak meanwhile said in an interview with an independent Egyptian journalist that al-Sisi would be the next president. "The people want Sisi and the people's will shall prevail," journalist Fajer al-Saeed quoted Mubarak as telling her at the armed forces hospital where he is being held in Cairo.
HRW: Syria regime responsible for demolitions
Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported (PDF) Jan. 30 that Syrian authorities deliberately demolished residential neighborhoods with explosives and bulldozers in Damascus and Hama over the last year. The report found that the demolitions are related to the violent conflict in Syria between the government and opposition forces. HRW officials determined the correlation between the armed conflict and the demolitions from eyewitness testimonies, statements from government officials and the military's involvement in the demolitions. HRW believes this destruction to be in violation of the Hague Regulations, which forbid the unnecessary destruction of the enemy's property, and the Geneva Conventions (PDF), which prohibits the "extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly." HRW urges the Syrian government to halt wanton destruction of property and urges the UN Security Council to refer the situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Syria: NATO intervention —against al-Qaeda?
The Turkish armed forces on Jan. 29 attacked a convoy of al-Qaeda-linked rebel group ISIS in Syria in, destroying three vehicles, according to Turkish media reports. Turkish F-16s apparently struck the convoy "after militants opened fire on a military outpost" on the Turkey-Syria border. (Al Jazeera, Jan. 29) The skirmish comes amid reports that both ISIS and the Nusra Front, both al-Qaeda affiliates, have seized control of most of Syria's oil and gas resources, which lie in the country's north near the Turkish border, and are using the proceeds to underwrite their wars against both rival rebels and the Bashar Assad regime. While the oil and gas fields are in decline, control over them has been key to the growing power of the two groups. ISIS is even said to be selling fuel to the Assad government—lending weight to claims by opposition leaders that the regime is secretly backing the Qaedists to weaken the other rebel armies and discourage international support for their cause. (NYT, Jan. 28; The Telegraph, Jan. 20)
Egypt: Islamist jailed for anti-judiciary comments
The Cairo Criminal Court on Jan. 20 sentenced outspoken ultraconservative Islamist leader and former presidential hopeful Hazem Salah Abu-Ismail to a year in prison for comments allegedly made at another trial. In that trial, during which he stood accused of attempting to conceal the US citizenship of his mother in order to qualify for a presidential bid, Abu-Ismail reportedly stated, "The court is void ... This is not a real judiciary in the first place." Abu-Ismail was a top ally and supporter of former Egyptian president Muhammed Morsi, and his supporters have seen his prosecution as part of the crackdown on Morsi supporters in the wake of the military coup that ousted him from power in 2013.

With 30 million Americans out of work and millions more underemployed, farmers are still having a hard time finding the help needed to keep a farm profitable. Michael Olson's guest for this week is Dr. Ann Lopez, Executive Director of The Center for Farmworker Families. www.farmworkerfamily.com

8 ohm speaker
6 to 12v dc power supply
10 mh (milli henry) inductor/choke
Step 3: Making the metal detector
Step 4: How it works?
Sure would be NICE to see it . and whats a 10 mh inductor/choke?
and you get 1-2 meters penetration into the earth ?? More details ,PLEASE.
I ask that because years ago I did another cheap and simple metal detector. When I tested it the first time, I yelled ¡BINGO! because it detected the proximity of a metallic tool. But soon I realized that it also detected a piece of dirt, masonry, my hand, etc.

Ryan Celano didn't go out on top, but he came close again. The Community School senior, in his fourth appearance at the state tournament, shot a 2-under 70 and placed fifth Wednesday at Deer Island Country Club in Tavares.
Celano, who had a two-day total of 3-under 143, and his Seahawks teammates were third in the 1A tournament, a stroke behind Winter Park-Circle Christian and 12 behind champion Lake Mary Prep.
Community School's Eric Grimes, a junior, had a 74 to tie for 15th at 146, and junior Nick Solimene shot a 75 for a 153 total to tie for 32nd. Konstantin Kotschenreuter (74/154, T36) and Andrew Potter (79/157, T49), both juniors, also played for CSN.
The Seahawks improved by six strokes for a 592 total, but Lake Mary shot a 287 for a 580.
"We finished third which is unbelievable considering where we started, basically a whole new team," said CSN coach Paul Celano, Ryan's father. "They really accomplished a lot this year. I think the biggest thing was we had decisions to make for the districts and regionals and states, and the kids just stepped up every time they were called on to play. It was a different boy each time. Every one of them seemed to shoot their career rounds at one time or another in the state series.
"From my standpoint it was the most rewarding coaching year that I've ever had."
Ryan Celano, a University of Florida commit, finished tied for 11th, second, and tied for seventh, respectively, in his three previous trips to the state tournament. The Seahawks were third (six shots back) in 2011, and fifth in 2010, but lost all but Celano from last year's second-place team.
"He played solid," Paul Celano said. "He just unfortunately, hit a lot of great putts that just didn't go in.
"There's a trust factor. He's stepped up every year to play well, especially the last day."
Ryan Celano said "I was a fraction away" from a 64 or 65. "But that's golf."

UK inquest says deportee was unlawfully killed
Tuesday - 7/9/2013, 10:58am  ET
LONDON (AP) -- A British jury has found that an Angolan man who died while being deported was unlawfully killed by three British private security guards escorting him on the plane.
An inquest jury said Tuesday that 46-year-old Jimmy Mubenga was restrained with "unreasonable force" by three guards from security firm G4S after he attacked them aboard a British Airways flight to Angola in October 2010.
Mubenga was violently restrained by the guards as the flight taxied down the runway at London's Heathrow Airport. The plane stopped and he was taken to a hospital, where he died of cardio-respiratory collapse.
Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said it would reconsider its original decision not to charge the security guards.

First Strike 1.6 Full Installer
Feb 14, 2014 Full Version 5 commentsFirst Strike 1.6 full installer. Rather than having to install FS 1.5 and then update to 1.6, this new release will give you access to all of the content...

Just in time for the second weekend of First Strike 1.6 we're proud to release the full installer for this release of the mod. Rather than having to install FS 1.5 and then update to 1.6, this new release will give you access to all of the content of FS 1.6 straight out of the box.
We'd still advise you to also get the new First Strike Launcher though, as hotfixes have been released since the release of FS 1.6 to improve the player experience since the new release came out last weekend, and this is by far the best method of getting a hold of those new updates.
The mirrors for the FS 1.6 Full Installer are as follows:
First Strike 1.6 Full Installer Mirror
Mediafire First Strike 1.6 Mirror
There will be further mirrors added here as they come on-line.
Look to the First Strike 1.6 Released! news post for details of the changelog for this release. We hope you enjoy the mod and look forward to seeing you out there for some serious games this weekend.
As requested here is the link to the new Launcher which you'll also need, and can be found in the downloads section.
See you on the Battlefield Troopers!
First Strike 1.6 full installer. Rather than having to install FS 1.5 and then update to 1.6, this new release will give you access to all of the content...

Full installer for the new release of First Strike including two new maps, and new singleplayer and co-op support.

[JURIST] US President George W. Bush signed [press release] an anti-terror bill [PDF text, HR 1 materials] Friday that implements recommendations by the 9/11 commission [official website]. The measure will transfer funds to states and cities found to be at high risk for terrorist attacks and also includes a provision to screen all air and sea cargo coming into the US within five years. Bush criticized the bill for providing billions of dollars for grants and other programs he deemed unnecessary and promised that he would not ask for that money in his 2009 budget request.The bill passed [JURIST report] the Senate last Thursday by a 85-8 vote [roll call] and the House last Friday by a 371-40 vote [roll call]. Critics argued that the technology does not exist to efficiently monitor cargo without interrupting trade; as a compromise, the bill allows the Homeland Security secretary to extend the five-year deadline in two-year increments if necessary. AP has more.
[JURIST] A military jury in Camp Pendleton, California, Friday sentenced [press release] US Marine Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins, III to 15 years in prison for his role in the April 2006 kidnapping and murder of Iraqi civilian Hashim Ibrahim Awad [Wikipedia profile] in Hamdania [USMC timeline; JURIST news archive]. Hutchins was convicted [JURIST report] Thursday of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, making a false official statement, and larceny. He is the first and only Marine convicted of murder in connection to the Hamdania incident.Earlier Friday, a military jury sentenced US Marine Cpl. Marshall L. Magincalda [advocacy website] to 448 days confinement [press release; JURIST report] and demoted him to private for his role in the Hamdania incident. Magincalda, who was convicted [JURIST report] of conspiracy to murder, larceny and housebreaking, and acquitted of more serious charges of premeditated murder, kidnapping, and making a false official statement, will not serve any additional time in detention as he has been in pre-trial confinement for the last 450 days. Five defendants have pleaded guilty [JURIST report] in the death of Awad, who was removed from his residence and killed, then arranged with a shovel and firearm to appear as if he were planting an improvised explosive device. AP has more.
[JURIST] Pojamarn Shinwatra, wife of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinwatra [BBC profile; JURIST news archive], filed a lawsuit Friday at the Bangkok Civil Court against the Assets Examination Committee (AEC) [Wikipedia backgrounder], alleging that the AEC's seizure of $86 million of her assets was arbitrary and unfair. The AEC has seized approximately $2.1 billion in family assets [JURIST report] belonging to Thaksin and Pojamarn. Thaksin, who filed a similar lawsuit [JURIST report] against the AEC last month, has been living in exile since his ouster in a September 2006 military coup [JURIST report]. Thaksin is currently facing corruption charges [JURIST report], which are scheduled to be heard [JURIST report] by the Thai Supreme Court August 14. AP has more.
[JURIST] US President George W. Bush [official profile] asked urged Congress Friday to pass legislation [statement; fact sheet] "modernizing" the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) [text; JURIST news archive], calling on members of Congress to postpone their scheduled August recess until the legislation is submitted to the White House for Bush's signature. Bush also threatened to veto any legislation Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell [official profile] thinks does not give the intelligence community what it "needs to prevent an attack on the country." Also Friday, officials indicated that the White House would agree to judicial scrutiny of foreign intelligence activities in exchange for greater government surveillance powers over foreign communications. Bush stressed the need for modernizing FISA [JURIST report] in his weekly radio address last weekend, saying that the new legislation is necessary to meet threats from terrorists who can now use cell phones and the Internet to communicate. Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that Democrats are willing to expand government surveillance [JURIST report] over foreign communications under the FISA, but that disagreements with the White House over other issues remained. AP has more.Breaking News: House Democrats said Friday that talks about expanding FISA have broken down, but White House officials say negotiations are ongoing. AP has more.
[JURIST] A military jury sentenced US Marine Cpl. Marshall L. Magincalda [advocacy website] to 448 days confinement [press release] and demoted Magincalda to private Friday for his role in the April 2006 kidnapping and murder of Iraqi civilian Hashim Ibrahim Awad [Wikipedia profile] in Hamdania [USMC timeline; JURIST news archive]. Magincalda, who was convicted [JURIST report] Wednesday of conspiracy to murder, larceny and housebreaking, and acquitted of more serious charges of premeditated murder, kidnapping, and making a false official statement, will not serve any additional time in detention as he has been in pre-trial confinement for the last 450 days.Five defendants have pleaded guilty [JURIST report] in the death of Awad, who was removed from his residence and killed, then arranged with a shovel and firearm to appear as if he were planting an improvised explosive device.

Hutchins could face life in prison. AP has more.
[JURIST] Rwandan Justice Minister Tharcisse Karugarama said Thursday that Rwanda has signed extradition treaties with countries in Africa, Europe, and North America following its abolition of the death penalty [JURIST report] in July. The law ending the death penalty, which took effect July 25, was largely motivated by Rwanda's desire to receive extradited suspects accused of crimes in the 1994 Rwandan genocide [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. Death sentences issued before the new law took effect were commuted to life imprisonment or life imprisonment with special provisions, which prevents early release unless a prisoner has already served at least 20 years. A Ministry of Justice [official website] official indicated that those convicted of crimes like genocide, crimes against humanity, acts of terrorism resulting in death, rape of children, sexual torture, torture resulting in death, and the murder or other killings conducted with dehumanizing acts on dead bodies may be subjected to special provisions, which require detention in isolation.The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website], which is expected to complete its work by December 2008, has began the process of transferring genocide cases [JURIST report] to Rwandan courts after the abolishment of the death penalty. IRIN has more.
[JURIST] The UK parliament's Joint Committee on the Draft Climate Change Bill [official website] urged parliament to amend the draft climate change bill [PDF text] to include the monitoring and analysis of all greenhouse emissions instead of only carbon dioxide in a report [PDF text] released Friday. The committee also recommended that the draft bill be amended to include the monitoring, reporting, and projection of international aviation emissions. The draft bill, which currently sets a target to reduce emissions by at least 60 percent by 2050, was unveiled in March [JURIST report] with the hope that it would encourage other countries, including the US, to adopt similar changes to confront the threat of climate change. To date, 171 parties have ratified the Kyoto Protocol [UNFCCC backgrounder], which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by developed and developing nations beyond 2012 [JURIST report]. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ruled [PDF text] Friday that the FBI's conduct during an 18-hour raid on the congressional offices of Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) [official profile; JURIST news archive] was unconstitutional, finding that the "compelled disclosure of privileged material to the Executive during execution of the search warrant" violated the Speech or Debate Clause [text] because the FBI searched through privilege materials without giving Jefferson an opportunity to review the materials. The court overturned a lower court ruling [JURIST report] and ordered the return of legislative documents, which the court determined to be privileged, but refused Jefferson's request for the return of non-privileged documents because Jefferson has not demonstrated that the "operations of his office have been disrupted as a result of not having the original versions of non-privileged documents." The court also barred the FBI agents who executed the search from disclosing the privileged or "political sensitive and non-responsive items." Jefferson's arguments [JURIST report] were supported by amicus briefs submitted by former Reps. Tom Foley (D-WA) and Newt Gingrich (R-GA). In June, Jefferson pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to charges [DOJ press release] under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [DOJ materials], including bribery, racketeering, money laundering and obstruction of justice. Jefferson is accused of accepting approximately $500,000 in bribes from numerous companies in the US and Africa and faces a maximum sentence of 235 years in prison if he is convicted on all counts. Jefferson's trial is scheduled to begin on January 16, 2008. Last January, former Jefferson aide Brett Pfeffer pleaded guilty [DOJ press release] to bribery charges for his role in the scheme. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit lifted a stay [order, PDF] Thursday on the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainee Ahmed Belbacha [BBC profile] to Algeria. The court instead put Belbacha's appeal on an expedited schedule. Belbacha is appealing a district judge's decision [AP report] to deny his motion to stay his transfer to Algeria.Belbacha filed the motion [JURIST report] Monday because he says that he will be tortured and perhaps killed if returned to Algeria. His lawyers have asked for help from the UK, where Belbacha lived for three years, but British officials will only intervene in cases involving British citizens. SCOTUSblog has more.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Pakistan [official website] on Friday ordered the release on bail of jailed opposition leader Javed Hashmi pending his appeal of his 2004 conviction [BBC report] for allegedly inciting mutiny in the armed forces, forgery and defamation by circulating an unsigned letter allegedly written by army officers opposed to President Pervez Musharraf and Pakistani military operations in Kashmir. Hashmi, the leader of the opposition Alliance for Restoration of Democracy and the Pakistan Muslim League-N [party website], was serving a 23 year prison term concurrently and was expected to be released in 2011. The ruling, issued by a panel of three justices including Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry [official website; JURIST news archive], is seen as the latest setback to Musharraf's bid to extend his eight-year rule by another five years later this year. On Tuesday, Musharraf publicly accepted the judgment of the judiciary to reinstate the suspended chief justice, who resumed his duties [JURIST report] on the high court after it dismissed all charges of misconduct [order]. AP has more.
[JURIST] Australian Prime Minister John Howard [official profile] Friday rejected calls for an independent judicial inquiry into the Australian government's handling of the terror case against Dr. Mohammad Haneef [JURIST news archive], calling it a political "stunt" [transcript] by opposition Labour Party leader Kevin Rupp [official profile]. During an interview with Sky News, Howard also welcomed the High Court of Australia's Thursday ruling upholding the constitutionality of control orders [JURIST report] against a terror suspect, calling it a "great litmus test" that demonstrated that a controversial anti-terror law [ANS backgrounder] was "soundly based."Howard has refused to apologize [JURIST report] for the Australian government's handling of Haneef's case, saying that Haneef was not "victimized" despite being detained as a terrorist suspect for 25 days. On Wednesday, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty indicated that the Australian Federal Police was continuing with an investigation into Haneef [JURIST report] and may submit a new brief of evidence against Haneef to prosecutors. Haneef has not been implicated by UK authorities in June's attempted UK car bomb attacks [JURIST report], and was allowed to travel to India after prosecutors dropped the terror charge [JURIST report] against Haneef due to insufficient evidence. PTI has more.
[JURIST] Chilean authorities on Thursday announced the capture of former Gen. Raul Iturriaga Neumann, a former high-ranking intelligence official with the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) [FAS backgrounder] during the reign of former dictator Augusto Pinochet [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. Neumann, who has been a fugitive since June, has been convicted for the 1974 disappearance of political activist Luis Dagoberto San Martin and sentenced to five years in prison.Pinochet, who died [JURIST report] last December without ever facing trial, ruled from 1973 to 1990 after staging a coup that displaced democratically elected President Salvador Allende [BBC profile]. The Los Angeles Times has more.
[JURIST] China is increasing its control over human rights activists [press release] and other political dissidents ahead of the Beijing 2008 Olympics [official website], Human Rights Watch (HRW) [official website] reported Thursday. HRW says that leaders in the Communist Party of China (CPC), fearing potential embarrassment brought on by activists highlighting political and social problems, have also attempted to silence independent media coverage. HRW Asia Director Brad Adams said that "political repress is not in keeping with the behavior of a responsible power and Olympic host," and urged the Chinese government against wasting the "unique opportunity to use the 2008 Games to demonstrate to the world it is serious about improving the rights situation in China." Meanwhile, Radio Free Asia reported Friday the arrest of approximately 220 people [RFA report] for their role in protests relating to the exile of Dalai Lama [BBC profile]. On Thursday, CPC discipline commission spokesperson Gan Yisheng defended China's use of capital punishment [JURIST report] in political and economic corruption cases as being appropriate and effective. Amnesty International [advocacy website] criticized China in April for not doing enough to address human rights abuses [JURIST report]. AP has more.
