I can expect someone going for a Russian skater's classic. I feel there will be some Yagudin like program, even if skating has changed very much since then
I/K should do James Bond!! The judges would melt. But they need good choreography....oh please I just want them to skate something, anything worthy of their talent. Oh yes and Nikita needs to grow a pair..no more wilting under pressure...You are the MAN for goodness sake...Okay..enough ranting for one day
Chan says in the above link that he's using the same SP, and is very excited about the LP and it's a favourite piece of his.
Ashley would rock Firebird!
There are all those Russian movie themes that Russian skaters have used. "The Admiral" that Samarin used, for example, is quite nice.
I just hope nobody used 17,000 minutes in Spring, the miserable piece that Maria Butyrskaia used. Man, I can't stand that music.
And I hope no one uses Otonal or Meadowlands.
Yuzuru song of Two Step from Hell!
: nero, Heart of Courage, Strength Of A Thousand Men and especially archangel, so epic!!!
I very recently did an interview with Ashley Cain on my blog at http://skateguard1.blogspot.ca - she has confirmed she has a new SP (flamenco) and is keeping her "Ave Maria" FS.
A lady will skate to Carmen. I think it's a rule that someone must use it in the Olympic year.....
In his interview with Pigeon Post, Nobunari Oda revealed two of his new programs for next season, saying there's no reason to hide them. His free program is to the William Tell Overture and his exhibition is to The Last Samurai, both choreographed by Lori Nichol. For his EX, he says the steps at the end are really difficult.
Who is Ashley Cain???? Is she even a speck on any radar????

Patio lounging in style on designer outdoor loveseats
Do your patio lounging in style on our designer outdoor loveseats. You get extra room for guests, and loveseats encourage people to get to know each other better because they have to sit together. Outdoor loveseats are fun and practical. Many people prefer buying two loveseats instead of one sofa and then make a room setting with those matched to a nice rug and coffee table. Chaise lounge chairs are another patio furniture favorite. They give you plenty of room to stretch out and relax, and most are adjustable for individual comfort. Some are basic and great for sunning; others have full cushions and can even double as a napping or sleeping spot. Replacement cushions give you the opportunity to change colors or themes during the year or to just renew the look and comfort level of your chaise lounges. Sling lounges, zero gravity chairs and rocking chaise lounges provide variety that is a pleasant change from standard models.
For a classic look, check out our Chicago Wicker Collections for your patio furniture choices. These always are an excellent addition, not only for their amazing style and beauty, but also because they are very durable and can stand the test of use and time. Wicker looks great on the patio and inside the home. These pieces will add exceptional style and are elegant looking, especially when you create a matching set from our gliders, daybeds, table sets and accessories. Wicker has an old-fashioned charm with modern construction and preservation benefits. We have gorgeous loveseats, rockers and much more to offer you for indoor or outdoor living spaces from Chicago Wicker Collections and all our high quality makers of wicker patio furniture.
Another style of popular patio furniture you want to look closely at is our Ty Pennington Style collection. You can tell at first glance that this is high quality designer furniture that will be easy to work with when you want to upgrade the looks of your home or patio. Ty Pennington Style is distinctive, durable and luxuriously comfortable. You will enjoy relaxing with friends on a 4pc corner sectional or on oversized deep seating cushioned chairs gathered around a padded top coffee table ottoman. For dining in casual style, meet your friends at the umbrella table with high-back casual chairs. Everyone will want to sit on swivel glider chairs or modern action sling-back swivel chairs that are part of a 3pc bistro set. Select coordinated side tables for lounge chaises or a full 7pc dining set to finish off your decorating job.
Make style your pastime by outfitting your patio with deep cushioned outdoor loveseats from our famous designer patio furniture collections by Ty Pennington Style and others. Make every occasion special by having these outstanding pieces placed strategically around the pool or patio for all to enjoy. It will be hard to resist bringing them indoors as well. Have everything delivered by Sears, or you can pick up orders at our store.

Lexington man arrested on tax charges
Columbia, SC --- David A. Landsman was arrested this morning for operating a business without a retail sales tax license.
Landsman, President of Reyland Medical, was arrested by South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) Investigators when he continued to operate and conduct retail sales at the medical equipment and supply store after its retail sales tax license was revoked. Reyland Medical, located at 1053 Sunset Boulevard in West Columbia, had its retail sales tax license withdrawn in July of 2010 by the SCDOR.
If convicted of the charges, Landsman could face up to 30 days in prison and/or fines of $200. Landsman is currently being held at the Lexington County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department assisted with the arrest.

From the Mountains to the Bay
Maryland's freshwater streams are unique in that they run to the largest estuary in the United States. The fingers of the Chesapeake Bay reach every corner of the state, from the Appalachians to the Eastern Shore. In turn, the health of our freshwater resources directly influences the health of the Bay. Monitoring these resources is essential in determining what we can do to preserve and protect not only the Bay, but also the waters in our backyard. Our streams provide recreation opportunities such as canoeing and fishing, grow our crops, feed our reservoirs, and provide valuable habitat for wildlife.
The Monitoring and Non-Tidal Assessment Division (MANTA)
This section of the Department of Natural Resources website contains scientific information about the non-tidal freshwater streams and rivers of Maryland, DNR monitoring programs, and volunteering opportunities with the Stream Waders. You can request data collected from the Maryland Biological Stream Survey, browse publications and reports from other projects, and view agendas for upcoming talks and meetings.

Starting in 2014, the MBSS will be conducting sampling throughout the state to analyze stream conditions. To view more information, check out this link.

They say if you're looking for the ultimate in luxury there is no better place to be then Paris.
After making this film, Elisabeth would probably be one of the first to agree. On her first trip abroad from her native Poland, this young beauty found herself in a small Parisian hotel basking nude under Petter Hegre's rolling camera.
Watch closely and you'll probably notice a smile cross Elisabeth's lips as she dreams of the sites waiting for her in the city beyond the hotel walls.

The customer service was excellent. The first one I ordered had to be returned for sizing and a defect. They were very prompt and friendly. There is a slight irregularity in the coloring of the black diamond. I am not familiar enough with the coloring process to know if this is normal. But it's barely noticeable. I definitely recommend this ring to someone who is looking for a unique alternative to an engagement ring.
This ring is even better than I imagined! So sparkley its brilliant shine catches everyones eyes! The center stone is flawless! The side stones are larger and very clear! Great quality!!! If you are looking for a black diamond engagement ring with a traditional feel this ring is the way to go!!!
White diamonds much clearer than anticipated. Very good buy for the price.
This is a great ring for the money. I've gotten lots of compliments on this ring it goes with all the black I wear perfectly.
Super happy with the order, fast shipping and amazing price. Can't beat this, very very pleased.
I was nervous about buying an engagement ring online, but the quality of this ring is incredible. It fits perfectly and is so sparkly, the side diamonds really set off the center stone. I have gotten so many compliments on this ring... Now to find a matching wedding band on Overstock.com!
This is quite an amazing diamond. The black give it a classy look. The ring is very comfortable to wear.

Tonight Scottish designer Jonathan Saunders picked up the Emerging Talent Award For Menswear at the British Fashion Awards 2012. He was presented the gong by Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood (in a green suit) at the fashwan ceremony held at London's Savoy Hotel. Beating off competition from Agi & Sam and Lou Dalton he said: "It's an honour to be up against the other designers. Thanks to my team and to Evie my best mate who gets me through it all".
While the award is one of the most prestigious, it certainly isn't the first won by the Scottish fashion designer; Saunders also took home the Fashion Enterprise Award from the British Fashion Council in 2002.
The designer has been in the limelight since graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2002. Renowned for his playful use of silk screen-printing and colour, his work has become extremely popular among stars, from Emma Stone to Poppy Delevigne.
2012 also saw Saunders win the BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund award! Let's take a look back at the most successful year of his career to date...
1. He was the talk of London Fashion Week with his holographic fabrications and futuristic vibes
2. He saw one of his dresses worn by the Duchess of Cambridge in the Solomon Islands
3. He dressed Emeli Sandé for the Olympics Opening Ceremony
4. He designed visuals for London Fashion Week
5. He launched his Twitter account and the Grazia Girls showed their support
6. He presented a smash hit collection for Autumn/ Winter 2012

WASHINGTON - While filling in for Kathie Lee Gifford on the fourth hour of the "Today" show, veteran broadcaster Meredith Vieira accidentally dropped an s-bomb on live TV.
The show was just returning from a commercial break when the cameras caught Vieira in the moment she dropped her cue cards, looked down at them and said, "Oh, sh*t."
The slip wasn't censored on the East Coast, which showed colleagues Hoda Kotb and Al Roker laughing as they try to keep the show moving forward with a story about weight loss.
Vieira, whose broadcast career has spanned 37 years, says it wasn't the first time she's slipped a swear on air. It was the second.
Gotta love live TV.

2010 Coume del Mas Galateo Banyuls
"As usual, from southwest-facing Grenache vineyards and aged in used barriques, the Coume del Mas 2010 Banyuls Galateo - tasted from tank - is distinctively buttery in texture as well as flatteringly glycerin-rich. Black raspberry confiture laced with vanilla and caramel picks up a mouthwatering and extremely welcome streak of salinity, which along with hints of berry skin and bitter dark chocolate make for a highly-stimulating, not to mention long, finish."

1) There's not much to look for, if you don't know healing. I would just aim for a nice variety of classes.
2) Paladins are tank healers - technically they can raid heal, but not very well.
All the other four healing specs are better suited to raid healing, however all of them except Holy Priests can make very competent tank healers if there are no Paladins available. Holy Priests, I would never stick on a tank unless it's the weekly or something silly.
I would aim for a variety of different healing specs if possible, as each one has strengths and weaknesses.
Assigning healers isn't a bad idea, however only do this if you are comfortable and knowledgeable about the classes. If not (and I assume you're not, no offense intended), then just say "Hey healers, can you guys work out your roles?" or something, and let them sort it out. They know their class better than you do, or so I would hope.
3) I haven't raided much since the 25% was implemented, so it may be plenty possible for mediocre geared/experienced healers to 2 heal the whole thing with the lol30% buff. But I would grab a third one with DPS offspec just in case - we are talking PuGs after all.
I've always two healed the first wing + plague wing (including Putricide), three healed the rest. But that's just my experience, I'm sure you can do it with less depending on raid competency.
4) I wish raid leaders would stop yelling "BIG HEALS ON THE TANK" in vent. I know when the tank is taking damage, I'm healing him, hush!
I also wish they would stop saying "lol ur disc u cant raid heal" but that's another rant for another thread.
edit: Oh one more thing... healing meters are a rough guide, that is all! And use an addon like Recount Guessed Absorbs or Skada (I think Skada has it built in, right?) to help evaluate a Disc Priest. It's not uncommon for a Discie to be below the Shadow Priest or even Prot Pally on the healing meters, then you click over to absorbs and they're doing 9-10k.

We've been hearing a lot of about LED (light emitting diode) lighting lately, mainly because it's such a green, energy-efficient mode of illumination. However, these tiny bulbs are also a great way to add visual impact to your home.
Tiny and fairly easy to install, they can be tucked inconspicuously into all types of surfaces—walls, ceilings, even floors. They can be built into cabinetry, tables and other pieces of furniture. They can go into trim-work and stairwells. LEDs can also add a splash of color to countertops, bathtubs and other surfaces.
"As the price of LEDs comes down, they're becoming more popular with architects and designers as an effective design element," says Paul Koren, owner of Impact Lighting Inc., an Orlando-based company that designs, fabricates and installs LED and fiber optic lighting.
Designer Marla Greenough of Greenough Interior Design agrees: "LED lighting offers such a wealth of opportunity to control and manipulate color, light intensity, light quality, beam and direction." Her firm recently hired Impact Lighting to fabricate and install LED technology into a residence in Boca Raton, Fla. It's just one many residential projects Impact Lighting has been involved with during its 40-plus years in the specialty lighting business.
As the popularity of LED lighting has grown, Impact Lighting has developed innovative applications that evoke none of the "amusement park" effects commonly associated with colored LED lighting, says Koren. "They're classy, and completely blend in with the environment."
Some of the effects incorporated into the Boca Raton home, as well as into other homes include:
—A pressure sensor installed underneath the carpet trips whenever the owners get out of bed and signals LEDs fitted on the bottom of bed frame and within a chair rail on the wall to activate. It provides enough soft lighting for the owners to find their way around the room at night.
—Colored LED lights embedded within an onyx bathtub foster relaxation. The color of the lights can be controlled to suit the owners' mood.
—LED lights installed within a cove ceiling simulate sunrise and sunset.
—Interesting ceiling treatments like faux painting, coffers and beams are highlighted with colored LED bulbs.
—Embedded into tiles, LEDs make the floor glow from beneath.

Tony Scott, the director of such beloved classics as Top Gun and Days of Thunder, was found dead today after jumping off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro earlier this afternoon, an apparent suicide. Investigators found a note, which was left in his Prius on the bridge.
Scott, aged 68, is famous for making numerous action films, dramas, and the action comedy Beverly Hills Cop II. He's also the brother of director Ridley Scott.
What prompted Scott to take his life is unclear, but he leaves a large body of work behind including Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, and True Romance (full filmography here).
The contents of the note and reasoning for his suicide are, as of yet, unclear. Here are responses from around the web:

The Dave Murray Stratocaster boasts a supercharged HSH configuration, DiMarzio® PAF® 36th Anniversary DP103 neck pickup, DiMarzio® Super Distortion® DP100 bridge pickup and a Fender vintage-style middle pickup. Other features include a lacquer finish and a flatter soft "V"-shaped neck with satin back. Vintage tweed hard-shell case included.

It's probably fair comment to say that this guitar is going to appeal to Maiden fans first and foremost. However I think that build and features mean that it has a lot to offer rock and metal players in general.
What I particularly like is that this strat kind of reflects what a lot of us were doing in the eighties - hot rodding strats to turn them into screaming metal monsters. The DM Strat is basically a '57 re-issue that has been modified to do metal - pickups are the obvious change, but the satin back to the neck and subtle profile change all add speed an playability.
Tonally the DP100 does what you think it should - it's still one of my personal favourites. The DP103 in the neck is quite a contrast - it's thick and fat and gives that classic Murray solo tone. The middle single could should not be overlooked (although I believe that on Dave's original the middle p/up is not connected) it gives a great clean sound - very handy for the quiet bits!
Overall a great guitar - I wonder if the addition of a 5 way switch may have brought a bit more to the party - but that's an easy mod to do if you fancy expanding the switching options.
Build quality is excellent - finish is great solid, case is a nice added touch

This is the BEST SUPERCHARGED STRAT i have ever owned.......it plays excellent, killer sound, love the feel of the neck, very fast

I actually won this guitar in an Iron Maiden contest. While I've been a bass player for 30 years, I just started learning to play guitar a few years ago. There is nothing about this guitar that doesn't WOW me. I push this through an OCD pedal and the sound is just crazy. The build on this guitar is tight. As soon as you pick it up, you can feel that you have a quality built instrument in your hands. The signature part makes it even cooler! The best way I can describe how much I like this guitar would be to say even if I hadn't won it and paid full retail for it, I would love it just as much.

Who Shot Rock & Roll: Live went out with a bang this past Saturday. The third and final show in the free concert series continued to bring people to the Annenberg Space for Photography in the name of art and music.
This concert featured not one but two incredible acts: Raphael Saadiq and Band of Skulls!
Attendees took advantage of the great summer weather in the park just outside of the Photography Space.
KCRW's Anne Litt kicked off the evening's entertainment with a terrific DJ set starting at 7 o'clock.
Everyone was in a great, festive mood - smiles all around!
Think you've seen the Who Shot Rock & Roll photo exhibit? Well, we've just installed a brand new outdoor installation as part of the show. Crowds gathered around the over dozen images peppered in front of the main entrance of the Photography Space.
Saadiq took the stage just after 8 o'clock and put on an amazing show.
He performed a strong, energetic set list with a six-piece band. Wow!
Band of Skulls was up next and the English rockers did not disappoint.
They played some of their big hits such as "Sweet Sour" and "Death by Diamonds and Pearls."
What a way to cap off this concert series! Thanks to our partners over at KCRW but most of thanks to all of you for helping bring the community together for these special events intended to bring awareness to photography, music and all types of art. We hope everyone enjoyed Who Shot Rock & Roll: Live!

FIrst i'll start with the good. The comforter was so warm and cozy, the perfect amount of warmth and weight. With our old down comforter I would wake up sweating in the middle of the night, with this one I had a comfortable night's sleep. And for the price, I felt the quality was quite high. The reason we got this comforter was because my husband is very allergic to down and so I looked for something down-alternative. After one night's sleep my husband woke up unable to breathe and now we cannot use the comforter. I could not figure out why until I noticed this morning that it says this down-alternative comforter contains down! I feel this is false advertising. IMO down-alternative means NO down. This is why I gave it four stars instead of 5. I loved it, but now we cannot use it. So if you're looking for a down comforter, this is great! If you are allergic to down do not buy this product.
I have done my research as always, before I bought this. I have read all the reviews and I must say that I don't get some of them, because the product is great. It arrived quickly. I thought that it looked a bit thin, but once I set it up over my king size bed, put on the new duvet cover on it and voila, a perfect comforter. It is warm. It is nice, snug and cozy and keeps me warm at night. It doesn't make any weird sounds. Three days into my pleasant journey with this thing my son sneaked into my bed and peed in it. So I washed it at a laundromat and I don't really think that the stuffing has shifted much. It is still the same, now even fluffier and I absolutely love it. The price is great and the product is excellent. It fits the bed great, it even hangs on both sides, it is the perfect size and it really is a great comforter. end of story!
I needed a "lighter" comforter for the hot summer months here in Phoenix. Our air conditioning runs 24/7 and we keep our home on the cooler side, especially, at night. For the money, I got a real bargain. It fits great in its duvet cover. I am pleased with my purchase.
Ordered the King size for a Queen bed and am glad I did because have just the right amount of overhang on each side. Quilt gives warmth without being too heavy. Would highly recommend it.
The fabric is soft and luxurious, the filling is soft and it isn't too hot to use in the summer. The perfect alternative to down. Great Buy!
Very disappointed. Prior to using I washed the comforter in cold water and dried it on low heat and it came out extremely wrinkled such that I can't use it without a duvet cover which I would need to buy.
I was surprised at the quality and thickness of this comforter for the price I paid. Very comfy and warm. My son loves it on his bed.
South Texas winters are weird. 30s one night and 70s the next. This duvet is housed in a lightweight duvet cover on our bed. So far, it has stayed put...no shifting despite the lack of tie-downs at the corners. We are comfortable regardless of the evening temperature. Don't let its lightweight appearance fool you. It will keep you cozy
Received this comforter and for the price its a very nice comforter. Not to heavy and not too light, just right according to myself and Ms. Goldilocks!
It's a light comforter and it keeps me warm without getting too hot (I'm a "hot" sleeper). We keep the thermostat at 68-70 degrees.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas—Texas A&M freshman wide receiver Thomas Johnson has been found safe in Dallas after being missing from campus since Monday.
His mother, Linda Hanks, says A&M University police called her early Thursday to say the 18-year-old has been found unharmed.
Coach Kevin Sumlin issued a statement: "We are pleased and relieved to find T.J. Our foremost concern is for the health and well being of T.J. I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and efforts in locating him."
Police said Wednesday that Johnson was last seen leaving his College Station residence around 5 p.m. Monday.
Hanks told WFAA-TV she had traveled from Dallas to College Station as authorities searched for her son. Meanwhile, Johnson turned up 180 miles to the north, in Dallas.
Hanks says Johnson has not contacted her since his disappearance and that she had no other information.
Campus police scheduled a news conference for Thursday morning.
Johnson has appeared in 10 games this season, and has 30 catches for 339 yards and a touchdown.

Are you leveling a new toon or taking your old warrior from 70 to 80 in anticipation of Cata?
Hola folks,
I stopped playing a while ago, easily 7 months ago at least, and was free and clear until a friend bought me a one month time card. Well here I am again, exploring the new patch and what not. I played a Warrior and tanked my arse off until LK came out and then I tanked around on a DK. Had a blast.
Well I'd like to level a warrior again, but I honestly am not sure what to do. Back in Vanilla WoW I leveled as Prot, and had a blast. I have been told though that this isn't the case anymore and that Arms is the way to go.
So I am coming back to you guys for a leveling spec or suggestions of any of the three tree's
Are you leveling a new toon or taking your old warrior from 70 to 80 in anticipation of Cata?
A completely new toon, just hit level 13 on him.
I do have a level 80 warrior on a different server, but don't want to Realm/ faction transfer, so I started this new guy
If your intention is to level primarily through instances my recommendation would be to level as prot since it will give you almost instant access to groups. If you intend to level through questing then either fury or arms might give you a little advantage over prot with respect to kill speed.
If you goal is to level as fast as possible my recommendation is to go prot and equip the heirloom shoulder, chest and weapon. This will give you the 20% increased experience with each kill and quest turn in as well as make you extremely overpowered to boot. My feeling is that dungeon hopping is significantly faster (with heirloom gear) than questing simply because you don't have travel time to slow you down. In addition you aren't slowed down by bad drop rates on quest items.
I have leveled a warrior from 15 to 56 primarily through the dungeon finder with the heirloom gear and have only been beat on the dps meter once. Most of the time I am significantly higher than the rest of the group which has resulted in next to no threat/survivability problems. To be honest this has probably been the most fun I have ever had in game.
Given the new talent trees there really isn't too much selection as far as spec goes. The only real choice is in the first tier of prot between the blood and thunder talent or the heroic strike talent. I went blood and thunder however its effectiveness is starting to wain in the last few levels.
Having leveled my retired warrior from 40-80 after the new LFG system came out, I concur with everything Nereel said. No need to repeat anything, just reread his post and assume it was me saying that too. Prot+LFG leveling is the way to go.
Okay I will give this a whirl then, I need to change up what I have done then as I put my first few points into Fury for the regen, but was playing Prot or DWing swords.
I have the Heirloom shoulders, Chest and one handed sword. I need to roll out one of my 80's though and get the trinket, also I might send over the PVP heirloom Rifle for some RES, does that still stack with DEF? I seem to remember it stacking for slightly more mitigation. (most likely wrong here though)
Armory Link here
Resilience no longer works in PvE so only get the gun if you are planning on PvP'ing along the way as well.
The trinket is marginal, the haste is nice but the healing proc isn't that great because you have to have the final blow on a mob for it to work. I would only get the trinket again if I was planning on leveling via quest rather than dungeon finder.
Another thing since you have the heirloom weapon put crusader enchant on it. The enchant is somewhat expensive but well worth the investment since you will have the weapon the entire time you level.
Also enchant the chest with the plus 100 stamina enchant. It is really the only option.
Awesome, Hitting the AH now for those you listed, and will disregard the Trinket, but the gun was on my hunter so will go ahead and swap it for stats, unless the bow is better. I have both, actually I have a butt ton of heirlooms, I wish I could exchange them actually

Associated Press
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- As some of the world's biggest companies trumpet their arrival in Asia's hottest frontier market, the tobacco industry has a different strategy: It's slipping into Myanmar without fanfare.
The impoverished nation of 60 million people emerged from a half-century of isolation and brutal military rule two years ago. With most international sanctions against the country lifted or suspended, foreign businesses from Coca-Cola and Unilever to Suzuki Motors have scrambled to get in.
So too has Big Tobacco but without the ribbon cuttings or grandly worded press announcements.
British American Tobacco, the world's second largest cigarette manufacturer, shepherded a select audience of government officials to a low key ceremony last month where it formalized a $50 million investment over five years to produce, market and sell its brands in Myanmar. Its factory, to be built on the outskirts of Yangon, will create about 400 jobs.
Japan Tobacco, No. 3 globally, quietly inked a deal nearly a year ago with local partner tycoon Kyaw Win. Company spokesman Royhei Sugata said a factory was being built, but refused to discuss details, from the project's scale or brand name to the plant's location.
China's largest tobacco producer is also setting up a multi-million dollar joint venture.
"They seem to think by entering the market stealthily, they can avoid public scrutiny," said Tin Maung, a retired army major and Myanmar's top anti-smoking campaigner.
In a country where roads in many places are almost unnavigable and power outages constant, the nominally civilian government is hopeful that foreign investment will create new jobs and help speed development. But other priorities such as health, the environment and public welfare are sometimes swept aside.
Nang Naing Naing Shane, who heads the Ministry of Health's National Tobacco Control Program, said the Health Ministry's strong opposition to BAT, JT and others was overridden by the Myanmar Investment Commission. The commission's director quit under a cloud of suspicions about graft, but tobacco investment approvals were not overturned.
For international tobacco companies, facing declining smoking rates in their former strongholds, Myanmar is an enticing prospect.
Awareness about the health hazards is low, tobacco controls are weakly enforced, and the anti-smoking lobby is effectively a one man act.
Over the last six decades, 89-year-old Tin Maung has written hundreds of articles in magazines and state-run newspapers, travelled to symposiums inside the country and out, and visited schools to warn youth about the dangers of smoking -- funding all of his endeavors on his own.
Like many Myanmar youth, he was only 10 when he took his first drag, so he knows how easy it is to be drawn in. It wasn't until two decades later, when he picked up a Reader's Digest and read an article spelling out the dangers posed by smoking that he stopped.
A large proportion of the population smoke but only a fraction of them reach for filtered cigarettes.
According to a 2007 World Health Organization survey, 45 percent of all men smoke or chew tobacco. The rates for women and teenage boys are 8 percent and 13 percent respectively.
BAT's chief executive Nicandro Durante, said on the company's website that BAT, returning 10 years after it was forced to leave because of controversial links to the abusive military, was "truly excited" to be back. It was also "keen to play an active part in the country's economic and social advancement," he wrote.
The tradition of smoking cigar-like "cheroots" -- made from finely chopped up tobacco leaves, stems and wood chips, tamarin and other flavors -- starts young in Myanmar, often a boy helping his father light up.
While many people know smoking is bad for health, few fully understand just how bad.
"I heard that smoking can be harmful, but not everyone who smokes gets cancer," said Khin Cho, a 37-year-old housewife, who smokes cheroot at home and cigarettes in public. "I am okay now and I don't want to worry about something that hasn't happened yet."
Even at the over-crowded cancer ward in Yangon's main hospital few patients who landed there because of tobacco understood the links to the deadly disease until it was too late.
"I had no idea," said 60-year-old Hla Soe, a chronic smoker for more than half a century, a drip dangling from his right arm. "I'm from a village. I didn't quit until a year ago when I found out I had lung cancer."
Myanmar ratified the WHO tobacco treaty a few years ago, but laws and controls regulating the sale, marketing and use of tobacco products are poorly enforced.

NEW YORK—Maryland is joining the Big Ten, leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference in a shocker of a move in the world of conference realignment that was driven by the school's budget woes.
The announcement came Monday at a news conference with school President Wallace D. Loh, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and athletic director Kevin Anderson.
"The membership of the Big Ten enables us to guarantee the financial sustainability of Maryland athletics for a long, long, long time," Loh said.
Loh added that Maryland athletics has been living "paycheck to paycheck." The school had eliminated seven sports programs earlier this year.
"The director and I are absolutely committed to begin the process to reinstate some of the teams we had to terminate," Loh said.
Maryland will become the southernmost member of the Big Ten member starting in 2014.
"Really in the last year it's become so obvious that major conferences are expanding outside of their regions," Delany told the AP in an interview before Maryland's news conference on campus in College Park. "You have multiple major conferences all in multiple regions.
"It seemed to us that there was a paradigm shift occurring around us. And therefore the question is how do you respond to that in a way that stay true to yourself, but is also only responsive not to the world you want but the world that you live in."
Rutgers is expected follow suit by Tuesday, splitting from the Big East and making it an even 14 schools in the Big Ten, though Delany would not confirm that.
The Terrapins were a charter member of the ACC, which was founded in 1953.
"Our best wishes are extended to all of the people associated with the University of Maryland," ACC Commissioner John Swofford said in a statement. "Since our inception, they have been an outstanding member of our conference and we are sorry to see them exit. For the past 60 years the Atlantic Coast Conference has exhibited leadership in academics and athletics. This is our foundation and we look forward to building on it as we move forward."
There was speculation last week the Big Ten and Maryland were talking. On Saturday, it became clear the discussions were serious.
"Space is not the divide that it was once upon a time," Delany said.

Dozens of Nebraska inmates may have been released on parole this month without many of us knowing about it or having a chance to object. Fact Finders discovered a mistake that caused public notices not to be posted online. The Omaha Police Union is voicing concern.
Twenty-four inmates waited Friday for their open parole hearing where they were grilled by board members. "Were you ever into child pornography?" The public can testify for or against their release. "He has learned a lot from his class here."
November's public notices on parole hearings didn't get posted until this week after a call from Fact Finders. "Once you notified the Board of Parole that the postings had not been made, we immediately made the correction," says Parole Board chairwoman Esther Casmer.
During the month of November, when many of the parole hearings had been left off the website, inmates doing time for robbery, sexual assault and even murder faced the Parole Board and some of them were released.
That concerns the president of the Omaha Police Officers Union, which monitors parole hearings. "It's a matter of public concern and the taxpayers deserve to know who is on the streets that they think is incarcerated because it is an issue," says Sgt. John Wells.
Casmer says crime victims did get parole notices in other ways. "We would never deliberately place an individual in the community that would jeopardize the safety of anyone."
Not every parole hearing ends with a release as one inmate got a hug of disappointment from family who had public notice to be there.
Here's the reason for the lack of public notice this month. The Parole Board staff member assigned to post hearings diverted her attention to an urgent assignment from the Pardons Board. That urgent assignment was a Supreme Court ruling mandate to re-sentence two-dozen inmates convicted as juveniles.

Actually, if you look at the loot lists, the plate gear doesn't drop as much, and there are some instances of the exact same stat items dropping - Leggings from 1st Nexus boss and VH final boss are exactly the stats.
I wondered, Holadins is plate users. So if a clothie spellcaster or healer went to a instance together with a Paladin also looking for healer gear, wouldn't the chance for a useable item to drop, for the Paladin be 4 times higher than the clothie?
And the same with Druids and Shamans. So the rate of getting Naxxramas ready gear and gear overall would be way faster for a Paladin than a Priest?
Can anyone explain to my why it is like this?
(and no im not whining because i don't get any loot.)
Actually, if you look at the loot lists, the plate gear doesn't drop as much, and there are some instances of the exact same stat items dropping - Leggings from 1st Nexus boss and VH final boss are exactly the stats.
It's not four times as much, but they do have a higher chance of seeing something that they can use. Some of the cloth and leather spellpower gear has spirit on it, which (Unless recently changed) is almost worthless to paladins. Also, there are some cloth dpsers that would yell at a paladin for taking possible upgrades from them.
Yeah but my point is, Paladins also use cloth, leather and mail. Clothies only using well cloth.
True, Paladins don't need spirit but alot dps (spellcaster) cloth even epics have no spirit stats.
(As far as i remember)
I am confused as to the point of this post.
Healers share rings, ammys, cloaks, main hand weapons, trinkets, etc... the only items that really differ are Helm, Chest, Legs, Gloves, etc... and those are typically tailor made for said class, so they won't be a good option for the other to pick up.
Paladins may have four times the armor options of cloth wearers, but by using those same guidelines they have just as much competition. Frankly, if Blizzard didn't want Paladins to wear cloth, Paladins would have armor restrictions. Conversely, if the game designers wanted Priests to wear plate...
Regardless, Wrath created more competetion over cloth gear, for example clothie DPS now competes with Priests (even on, to some extent, +hit items). The best thing you can do to address this is to make sure a group has clear guidelines on how loot will be distributed. So if you don't want that holy Pally to roll/bid against other classes for that cloth/leather/mail gear, you'd best make it clear.
[Insert witty signature here]
The point of a holy spec'd paladin is to heal, armor affects healing ability not at all. As such, I'll wear the best gear I can get for that task, if it happens to be cloth, so be it. This doesn't mean all cloth is good for me, but some of it is (ie: a piece of armor with Int / Spell Power / Crit, no spirit, no hit). I agree that plate is preferable, but random loot is random, may not always see the drops you want.
As for survivability, that has more to do with Divine Shield and innately low healing threat then it does armor.
A 12 second shield every 5 minutes and low threat generation are part of survivability, yes. However, you cannot always rely on those two things in order to save yourself a run. Wearing plate armor ensures that a paladin is able to take an extra hit or so more than a clothie.
Anyone advocating that a paladin should be able to take whatever comes their way just seems to be a loot hoarder, and I don't know of too many people who would want to group up with a paladin who is going to sit there and try to justify why every single item with spellpower on it is a valid item. Yes, loot is random when it drops, but someone wanting to be the best geared and wear the type of armor most suited to them is going to end up farming at some point. If tanks can end up farming a particular heroic instance for weeks on end for just that one drop (yes, I've seen tanks not have their item drop in one instance for weeks), then how hard is it for a paladin to work on getting their particular plate items instead of going for whatever?
That being said I am willing to bet that the vast majority(90%+) of paladins wearing cloth got it because no one else needed it. If you are in a raiding situation where a cloth items drops that is not needed by any cloth wearers and would increase your healing effectiveness and you pass on it because it is not plate you are hurting the raid and making a mistake. I am not advocating cloth but to avoid it simply because it is not plate is a big mistake that only hurts yourself.
Why would a pally wear cloth when they can wear plate? I could understand if no body wanted the piece of gear taking it to try to up there spell power but the itemization would be incorrect. If a pally is rolling against cloth or leather wearers, in my opinion, they are wrong. They are taking an upgrade from a person that would potentially use the gear for awhile just so they can replace it next run when the plate drops for them. In my opinion, if you see a pally healer wearing cloth or leather gloves instead of the T7 go ahead and give him the kick. Reason being, those gloves are potentially the first piece of pally healer plate to be bought with emblems and if the pally is using a piece of epic cloth from Naxx instead of them its most likely by choice and who knows what other stupid decisions will come out of them during a raid.
2) Item Comparison Tool - World of Warcraft This compares tier 7.0 gloves to three different cloth/mail options that could be used legitimately in its place though in this case the tier glvoes are very well budgeted so I would use them over the other three. However if I did not have the gloves yet you can bet I would take any of those three in the meantime if they were available. Why would I let them disenchant one of those if I did not have the tier piece yet? This is not even a great comparison as the plate piece in question is easy to get and budgeted perfectly. Other slots will come out in favor of cloth/mail.
I am not recommending using cloth/mail over plate but there is down downside raiding wise to doing so. If a potential upgrade drops and priests/druids/shamans don't need it in the raid you should take it. I got very lucky with drops so I never wore cloth but I wore several pieces of heroic nax mail the last of which I replaced on Tuesday.
Blizzard designs the encounters so all healers and dps can survive any AoE, including cloth, leather, mail and plate classes. So if a better item drops for a pally that is cloth, take it (granted no cloth only class needs it ofc) - it will enhance your healing, which is your first prioty.
The reason for this is there is plenty of cloth out there with Int, SP and Crit, which is exactly the stats a holy paladin want.
You shouldn't pick your gear based on a possibility that you will get aggro.

Then I would have to suspect that I am the holy paladin out there who actually uses judgments and such as intended. I regularly go up to trash or to a boss in order to whack at it when healing is fine for a few seconds or when I need a bit of mana, by keeping Seal of Wisdom up.. also helps with healing when I go to judge Light on the mobs. It isn't just me, is it, that uses all of the abilities Blizzard gave me?
The thing about paladins is that we aren't just healbots. Holy paladins are designed to be able to go up and beat on the mob a bit, depending on what the situation is, and wearing plate armor certainly helps to mitigate whatever physical damage a holy paladin would probably get.
Your primarily job is healing right? If you get aggro from doing your judgements on the bosses as well, which every even remotely decent holy paladin should do if needed, your tanks fail - very simple.
No, it doesn't mean that it's an auto fail on the tanks, because it depends on the mob that is being judged. For instance, in the Gothik fight, I'm usually right up there dpsing and throwing up heals, and sometimes I draw aggro from where I've judged something that the tank didn't hit. Not every situation is going to be cut so dried that if I draw aggro it's automatically the tank's fault--I use the fact that I'm wearing paladin plate gear to my advantage because I can stand to take a hit or three.
And judgments aren't something that are done as needed--any holy paladin should be throwing up a judgment of light as a matter of course as something that helps a bit with heals, or a judgment of justice if a mob is a runner, or a judgment of wisdom if a pally tank needs it and they're not throwing it already, and so on.
