Product: Latex Carnival mask "Halloween"
Type/number of model:
Batch number/Barcode: 8422269692355
OECD Portal Category:
Description: The product is invoiced under number 3275 FM (69235).
Country of origin: China
This mask presents a risk of suffocation because the ventilation surface area is smaller than the minimal ventilation area required by the standard (1 300 mm²).
This product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the Toys Standard.
Compulsory measures: Withdrawal from the market ordered by the authority.

Category: Childcare articles and children's equipment
Batch number/Barcode:
Description: Cot bumper "NOUGATINE"
Type/number of model: YORI.
Country of origin: France
The product poses a risk of suffocation because eight satin loops have a circumference of more than the maximum limit of 360 mm laid down in the standard EN 1466. The average circumference of each of the eight loops is 570 mm.
A 9-month-old child died following strangulation with a loop into which the child put its head.
Voluntary measures: Voluntary withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers by the producer
Compulsory measures: Sales ban and press release ordered by the authority
3 0410/06
Category: Lighting chains
Brand: Icicle
Type/number of model: Unknown
Description: 100 lamps
Electric shock
This product poses a risk of electric shock because:
- the cross-section area of the product's internal and external wiring is less than required;
- there is no label attached to the product bearing the required markings and indicating type (category) of product and Class II.
This product does not comply with the LVD Directive and the European Standards on electrical products.
Compulsory measures: Withdrawal from the market ordered by the authority. In addition, a press release has been issued.
4 0411/06
Category: Chemical products
Description: AGA Burning Gel.
Country of origin: Switzerland
- The packaging does not provide any information about the amount of gel to be used, where to use it (open or closed space) or the conditions of use (for lighting or relighting fires). It only says "Use in oil lamps: Filling height – do not fill the burner to the top".
- This preparation is made up of methyl ethyl ketone (5%, (Flashpoint: -4 °C) and ethanol (75-95%) (Flashpoint: 13 °C). Its composition means that the AGA burning gel is a dangerous preparation and, according to existing legislation, is classified as "Highly flammable". As such, it must be stored, packaged and labelled in accordance with Decree-Law No 82/2003 of 23 April 2003. It has a very low flashpoint and is therefore likely to present serious dangers to the user when used near a flame, as is the case under its normal conditions of use. The fact that the product is a gel and could therefore be spilt increases the danger surrounding its use, due to its flammability and its toxicity.
- Although the warning information on the product's label states "Keep away from sources of ignition", the fact that the purpose of the gel is to facilitate burning means that it may be used to relight a fire and the user might consequently get burnt.
- After various tests to open and close the bottle, it was concluded that the safety cap does not always work, which poses an additional risk when using this product.
- Although the label carries the symbol for danger (F) printed in black on an orange background, there is no tactile warning of danger.
- The warning information on the label is difficult to read.
Compulsory measures: Withdrawal from the market ordered by authority.

Category: Construction products
Name: Saracen SXL Security Friction Hinge and Egress E3 Restricted Friction Hinge.
Type/number of model: Various
Description: Restricted Window Friction Hinge - Laird Security Hardware.
The product poses a risk of a person and, in particular, a child, falling out of a restricted but open window. The restricted window hinge should restrict opening the window to approximately 100mm and the designed resistance load to overcome the restriction should be at least 600N. The potential is for the restrictor mechanism to fail somewhere below 600N of pressure and the window sash to open further than 100mm leading to a risk of falling out of the window. During testing, the restrictive hinge gave way on some occasions between 600N and 150N.
This product does not comply with the relevant standard BS 6375 and BS 8213.
No accidents have been reported but there has been one complaint of failed product.
Voluntary measures: Voluntary corrective action taken by the producer.

This could cause too slow return of the piston upon release of the brake and in extreme cases, the piston may not return completely.

A Loudspeaker Horn that Covers a Flat Rectangular Area from an Oblique Angle
A constant-directivity defined-coverage loudspeaker horn that approximately covers a flat rectangular area from an oblique angle is described. The horn compensates roughly for the inverse rolloff of sound pressure in the forward-backward direction by varying the horizontal coverage as a function of the elevation angle. The horizontal coverage angle of the horn at the 6-db-down points at each elevation angle is matched to the required horizontal angle of the rectangular area as seen by the horn. Measurements on a prototype horn which covers a two by three unit area from a point one unit above the center of the narrow end are shown. This horn roughly covers a 70-deg vertical angle with the horizontal coverage smoothly changing from 90 deg at 0-deg elevation (straight down) to 38 deg at 70-deg elevation.

Like someone stated below, this is the better version of the YSL Touch Matte Foundation. This one is much better as it blurs/even imperfections, lasts nearly all day long even without primer, sheer yet buildable coverage, and looks like skin. Extremely unique foundation = semi-matte finish, smooth consistency, and looks just like skin. A staple.

I think this might even be better than Luminous Silk, my previous favourite! Like all the other reviewers say, the texture of this is really unusual - kind of like a dry gel I suppose. It sort of "sweeps" over your face, rather than sinks in. It is very light - doesn't cover blemishes really, but takes a bit of the redness out of them and makes them look better. And it just improves the overall look of your skin without looking like makeup at all.
I suppose the coverage is a bit like a tinted moisturiser, but in texture it's totally different. I don't really like the idea of tinted moisturiser anyway because isn't the point of moisteriser that it sinks into your skin? I don't really like the idea of all that pigment sinking in. I'd much rather it just sat on top, thank you very much.
I still use Luminous Silk when my skin is a bit more of a challenge. Not because the coverage is that different - LS is pretty light too - but because it's a lot easier to use concealer and powder with LS. Concealer doesn't really work with FF and I wouldn't put powder over the top. It's pretty matte and has great wear anyway, so you don't need it.
I use shade 2. I'm fair-medium with pinkish undertones. Since the coverage is so light though you don't need to be quite as precise about colour matching. I swear that is true - I'm normally really hardcore about getting the right shade.
It's expensive, but completely worth it.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Other Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown
I love this product so much that I felt compelled to write a review on it. I'm a MAC NW 20 and i use this in 2 (disclaimer that i bought this when i was slightly tanned from a holiday so i picked a slightly 'darker' shade then what a NW20 would be)
I never liked foundations or bases or primers or sunscreen because it would always (regardless of what brand i used) end up feeling heavy or oily - and it would inevitably oxidise or 'melt' so it was just a pain, when at the end of a long day, my makeup would not look fresh or in place - but kind of 'tired' and grimy. so i've stuck with just concealor (tons of it because i dont have perfect skin) and loose power for almost all of my makeup wearing life. i have on occasion (especially when on vacation in climates which is alot less humid then it is here in singapore) used the armani LSF - and it worked fine - but when i came back to singapore, the same problem would happen. another issue i've always had - was that i would end up getting clogged pores and breaking out - whenever i tried to use foundation or sunscreen here.
i purchased face fabric on a whim - because i was on another 'i think i need some sort of spf on my skin' phase (this has spf 12) - i was fully expecting to discover that it would cause the same issues and that i would have to bin it.
BUT - it has now been maybe two months - and i've even bought a backup tube. i LOVE this product. i use it daily now (and cannot imagine what life was like before it)
its some sort of a mousse texture - but on application it dries to a powder finish. it is very easy to blend - is near impossible to 'streak' on skin (even though i do my makeup really quickly in the mornings and just squeeze a dollop on finger and just blend it all onto my face with my fingers -- it is very quick and goes on very well and doesnt get patchy etc)
It also does not oxidise and it provides a very good canvas for the rest of my makeup to go on and stays put all day (we're talking in excess of 12 hours here!) i actually think it helps my makeup stay on better and look fresher!
on good skin days - using this alone is enough !
i would highly recomend this if you wanted a very light foundation or a light/good base to use. but if you need more then sheer coverage then you need to pair it with something else.

Whisper-finish. Smooth application that disappears. Never tugs or creases. I love this foundation because it simply makes your skin look a silky matte, but you would definitely pass as someone who "doesn't need foundation". I also love that just a dab is enough for the whole face, so it takes approximately 10 seconds in the morning to apply, and is error-proof. I always wear this during the day at my boyfriend's at at work. It also has a mind, pleasant vanilla fragrance that is very fresh and light.
I will admit that this is not for people who have a tons of blemishes to cover. On the other hand, it's lightness does let your skin breathe, it does not clog pores, and miraculously gives me absolutely no issues.
I will continue using MUFE High Definition foundation in 118 for evening events when I need fuller coverage.
Love love love.

I really love this stuff. It really is lovely. It's a 5 in terms of finish, effect, etc. but I feel the price and texture could be improved upon and would make it better.
I am usually an NC20-25 in MAC, #20 in MUFE Face and Body, #5 in Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk (a tad pink/dark but passable), Ceylan in Nars Sheer Glow, W3 in L'Oreal True Match, #118 in MUFE HD, #30 in Mat Velvet + (touch too pink/dark but passable) - and I think that should provide some background for a colour match haha. I don't wear MAC foundation anymore, but I have worn NC25 and I use NC20 and NW20 concealers. Truthfully - all of this doesn't matter that much. I'm a #2 in this foundation, and it is very forgiving/sheer so it doesn't much matter if the foundation is an exact match. In the tube/on back of hand this looks too dark - however, one shade up is defiitely too dark and one down is too light. Blended on my face this is a PERFECT match (still not quite sure how that happens, even though it IS sheer).
I have normal/combo skin (slightly dry/slightly oily depending on season). I am acne prone and if it's irritating I don't put it on my skin (i.e. alcohol). This doesn't break me out and feels lovely on the skin.
The texture of this foundation is souffle-like in terms of it being thick and light, but it is actually quite dry and not fluffy/creamy-wet like conventional souffle formulas. Because of the nature of the texture, I feel like I always put too much on my hand and a little actually goes a long way. I blend with my fingers for best results. A conventional foundation brush works well but can leave streaks, a flat top kabuki works well but eats more product and sheers it out more than I need (since this is already sheer), and the beautyblender sheers this out/eats product as well.
The coverage is light, and best for someone with normal skin who wants to blur imperfections and not hide them. Any red scars/acne, undereye circles, etc. will not be covered with this foundation so you will need concealer for that (which kinda ruins the finish, so I use concealer first with this if I'm going to use any at all). This HONESTLY looks like my skin but better - like no perceptible foundation in the slightest. When I put this on, it looks like another foundation that had 3 hours to set on my skin - pores minimized, satiny natural finish, blurred imperfections but no obvious makeup look, and it's obvious I have skin and am not secretly an alien wearing flesh-coloured paint. As another reviewer mentioned, I too get a confidence kick and feel like my skin is smokin' amazing whenever I wear this foundation. Definitely for good-skin days, though. This can cling to flakey skin, but I find the effect is marginal when compared to other skin-flake-clingy foundations (i.e. Armani Luminous Silk being the worst, then Nars Sheer Glow, then Face Fabric). Moisturized skin will make this more pleasant to apply.
I don't think this will hold up throughout the day for someone with really oily skin. I've worn this on the hottest days this summer (when I most want that no-makeup look), and it has stood up to the heat and not melted off my face but it still doesn't have the BEST staying power. However, I can't stress enough that this is sheer. It will last longer with a primer - which I don't generally use. I use toner/BHA liquid/moisturizer sunscreen and then foundation.
This comes in a tube ($48 for 1oz) and the tube makes it seem like less product than it is, but it's actually the same amount as most foundations. I like the tube because it's convenient to pack, and once you get used to how much you need to cover your face the way you like, you won't waste product like you can with a pump (even if you're careful).
I'm from Canada and got this online, sight-unseen from Neiman Marcus (neimanmarcus.com). For Canadians - they charged me a $5 brokerage fee (I think) and regular taxes, but shipping was free. No customs or any other charges. Doing this was actually cheaper than going to Holt Renfrew in Toronto and buying it there. I actually saved money (over our American friends) because of the USD-CAD exchange rate at the time. I've also heard GA foundations run around $15 more expensive in Canada (at Holt Renfrew) than if you buy in the US, so it's still worth it to go through NM if our dollar is at parity, especially if you get other items. This foundation was totally worth it and I wasn't sure I'd like it - but I LOVE IT. The price is exorbitant, so this might not end up as a staple. Surprised there's not more raves about this on youtube, though.

This is one of the most natural finishes I have come across for a tm or foundation. It is so easy to spread and I don't even need to finish it of with powder. I will definitely repurchase.

I bought this after visiting the Armani counter to look at the lasting silk foundation. On expressing my wish for a light, matte but not flat coverage, she also recommended Face Fabric.
Pros - it gives a very light coverage, which works well if you have mostly good skin and just want to even things out, it is super easy to apply (fingers, brush) and feels very nice on the skin when it is applied. The packaging is good, hygienic and easy to control how much you dispense.
Cons - cost, this is $80 AUS and to be honest it's not worth quite that. While it looks great when it's first applied, i found it's staying power isn't brilliant; admitedly, i don't use a primer with Face Fabric as i was advised to, but then i never use a primer with greater coverage foundations and i don't have an issue. It did tend to oxidise a little on my face by the end of the day as well, but the initial colour match was pretty good.
Over all, it's a good product, and i can see why some love it, i just wasn't enthralled. If this is the best that a tinted moisturiser can do, then i'd rather stick to my bare skin.

I loved this for a good year, and then changed my mind. This works more like a tinted moisturizer than a foundation, so I wish they're more clear about the name. True, the coverage is more buildable, but expecting it to cover serious blemishes would be a stretch. I think whether you'll like this depends on your tolerance for silicon, because it is REALLY silicon-y, more so than a primer. The advantage of course is that it applies like a dream. Faultlessly easy to spread. Nice scent, too. However, as a foundation it underforms. Very limited coverage, too yellow, and doesn't settle into the skin that well. Despite feeling lightweight, it doesn't look good on dry skin and tends to gather around pores. And the packaging is rather sub-par by Armani standard. I'll stick with a real foundation or a tinted moisturizer next time.

Ok,.I have used so many foundations til now..mostly liquid.
From high end to drugstores even foundations recommended by Youtube makeup gurus. But this is the best foundation for me so far.
I have oily t-zone and dry cheecks. Amazingly the foundation seems control the oil on my t-zone. The product is very light weighted, almost mousse-like texture and gives light coverage. This foundation gives a me fresh, natural glow which looks like I have really good skin.
But, Do not purchase it if you are looking for a good coverage!
I would recommend this product to people who have fairly good skin & just want to even out skin tone. Also I found this product almost conceals my pores on my nose area which I love. Even though it is bit pricey..i would definately re-purachase.

Best foundation I have ever tried, and I have tried alot of them, and have extremely difficult skin. My skin will react to every ingredient within a product if it has even a number 1 on a rating of 0-5 for comedogenity (if it clogs pores), and irritation. I have to check the ingredients of everything before I put it on my skin. This has 0s all the way through, and my skin agrees. A dream, not just in terms of no skin problems, maybe even better skin, but also in terms of ease of application, and wear. I'm a rub in with the fingers kind of girl. Foundation brushes are just hassle to me- I find them difficult to clean properly, I always find there is a build-up, and I would have to clean them so often because I have such oily skin-bacteria would really thrive. So I squeeze this out of the tube, and lightly blend everywhere. It is a fluid, but it feels like a mousse to apply because it is so unbelievably soft. It goes under my eyes, on my eyelids, everywhere, so easily. It's like folding silk over your face. It wears all day long. 12 hours. It would be no problem. I actually get a little bit cocky about my skin when I wear this, which for me is a very big deal. When I'm wearing it, I seem to think that my skin is the bees knees because you can't actually see foundation, and whilst it's clear that my skin is not perfect, it looks pretty good in this. No oil, pretty matte, but without that dulling effect. No make-up feel. Just an absolute dream. The negatives- the price. But frankly, it's so good, I just don't care. And secondly, I had to go to Selfridges to get a colour match whilst I was in London, and whilst that's fine as I was in London anyhow, it is a bit irriatating that it isn't sold in most places. I'll have to order off the internet now I know my shade. I had suspected a number 2. That's exactly what I am, and whilst it looks too dark in the tube, it is perfect for me when wearing, from the start and throughout the whole day. I am light to medium skinned, with yellow undertones. I am british, fully, with some family history in Scotland. Well, Armani, you have done it as far as I am concerned. Excellent. Everything else is just no match for this.

TOLEDO, Ohio – Two firefighters battling a blaze at an apartment complex near downtown Toledo were killed on Sunday, city officials said.
Two firefighter fatalities were reported to the Lucas County coroner's office Sunday, deputy coroner Dr. Maneesha Pandey told the Toledo Blade (http://bit.ly/MhoXVx ).
Pandey said autopsies are scheduled for Monday and that the names of the victims aren't being released pending family notification and identification. The fire department was expected to hold a news conference Sunday night to release more details on the fatal blaze.
The firefighters were attacking the blaze around 3:30 p.m. in a six-unit apartment building on Magnolia Street near the Huron Market when they became disoriented, a battalion chief told WTOL-TV.
The firefighters were taken on stretchers to Mercy St .Vincent Medical Center, and a large crowd of Toledo Fire Department personnel gathered.
"Everyone is just numb right now," Dan Desmond, vice president of Toledo Firefighters Local 92, told the Blade.
Ray Abou, the building's owner, told the Blade that there were seven tenants in six apartments in the building and all are believed to be OK. One tenant told him that her pit bull puppy wasn't able to flee the fire.

49ers Sign C Goodwin and LB CostanzoPosted by on August 3, 2011 – 3:57 PM
The San Francisco 49ers announced they have signed C Jonathan Goodwin to a three-year deal. The team also announced they have signed LB Blake Costanzo to a one-year deal.
Goodwin (6-3, 318) was originally drafted by the New York Jets in the fifth round (154th overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft. He has played in 132 games (60 starts) for both the Jets and the New Orleans Saints.
Goodwin signed with the Saints on March 27, 2006, after three seasons with the Jets (2002-05). A Columbia, SC, native, who played in 74 games (47 starts) for the Saints, he started every game at center over the past two seasons. Goodwin was a member of the Saints Super Bowl XLIV championship team and was selected to the 2010 Pro Bowl.
Goodwin starred collegiately at Michigan, earning All-Big 10 honors as a senior.
Costanzo (6-1, 235) has played in 45 games, notching 54 tackles, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries on special teams. He joins the 49ers after two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, where he was tutored by current 49ers assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Brad Seely, who coached the Browns special teams at the time. Costanzo saw action in all 16 games, notching 14 tackles, three fumble recoveries, one forced fumble on special teams and was named selected to SI.com's All-Pro team as a special teamer in 2009. In 2010, he played in 10 games and recorded seven tackles and a fumble recovery on special teams.
Costanzao originally signed with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2006 and spent time with the Buffalo Bills from 2007-08, playing in 19 games and registering 33 special teams tackles, including a team-high 26 stops in 2008. He was claimed off waivers by Cleveland in June 2009.
Costanzo, 27-year old native of Franklin Lakes, NJ, starred collegiate at Lafayette College and finished his career with 307 tackles, 18 sacks, three interceptions, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 12 passes defensed.

Who are these guys??? Undrafted Free Agents and a center who it appears can't stay healthy? Not one Big Time player yet. Hell bring T.O. back for all I care we need impact players. Crabtree needs help on the other side of the ball. With keeping Alex Smith in the QB position (Lord help us) he'll need some more help! Get Edwards man! I some what understand the Center pick up but this LB I am at a loss of understanding. I hope we didn't let Spikes go for this guy?!

Getting so tired of you complainers. Apparently the season is over already because the 49ers didn't sign the player you wanted. Oh no. Obviously this offseason hasn't lived up to your expectations, but then again I'm guessing you aren't a professional football coach or involved in any way with any organizations. Either am I, but at least I am smart enough not to presume to know the future. Do you honestly think that the 49ers are going to win the superbowl every year? It seems to me that there is only 1 team that wins each year, and it usually isn't a huge surprise. The 49ers aren't there yet but they are BUILDING. Sure most of us are tired of this, but it isn't all about instant gratification. As far as I know, the season doesn't get played in the offseason though, so stop being so dramatic, be a fan, and wait to see what happens.

What A great pick up at center. I know we are not getting big names but I think we are getting good solid talent who can be coached we do need another wideout and crabs needs to step up. Keep in mind we do have "BIG" name guys on our roster. Willis, Gore, Davis, new addition Akers, If we get to many big names then to much ego these guys are coachable… KEEP THE FAITH BROTHERS!

Also with this pick up at center that now frees up Snyder who was looking like he was going to play that spot. This Helps our line alot. If we can protect Alex and give him alittle more time in the pocket then he might be able to make better choices! (he was a number1 pick for a reason)

Great pick up!!! the line backer is for special teams and a back up LB… we still have some good LB there with bowman, willis, Aldon Smith and good Defensive linemen.. I am happy that the niners are making moves… I would love it if the resigned Goldson and went to get Floyd. Im from san diego and i get to see charger games a lot and He would be a good addition! GOOO NINERS!!
By Stuart on Aug 3, 2011 | Reply
These are good pickups. A center who can start and allows the OL to truly have 6 players, with Snyder as first back-up. That is a bit thin (need 7 or better 8 legit NFL level OLs). He may not be Baas, but not far off.
With bowman likely to start, Constanza will be an immediate impact on ST. Remeber you don't just use FA to sign stars, you are also trying to get as many solid players as you can for the less heralded roles.
FWIW, I think Clements and Spikes were over paid and well past their prime. Franklin being lost hurts, and we must sign Goldson – Taylor Mays is not the answer. I think DB will be a revolving door all season as we look for guys who can play.
BTW, the dominance of Aldon Smith and Frank Gore in practice demonstrates the gap between the studs and guys whom we probably should replace. Alot of guys are just bodies.

Mason Gillete, you are an idiot. What the hell are you talking about? "a center who it appears can't stay healthy?" Do you not read or are you dyslexic? The article clearly states that Goodwin, "played in 74 games (47 starts) for the Saints, he started EVERY game at center over the past two seasons."
Furthermore, if you actually kept with the Niners (or just read the damn article) you would know that Costanzo was brought in for his special teams play, not to replace Spikes. Do u know what team our Special Teams coach came from…..??? Surprise, surprise the BROWNS.

Great pick up. I'm glad the niners are staying true and not reaching in the FA market. This is and will be a transition year. Hopefully we'll get some of the young guys from last year and this year's draft to step up and continue building. It doesnt make sense to throw a pile of money at a player who is getting close to 30 yrs old like most of the big name FA that was in the market. I'm excited to see a few players who hopefully will start for us: Reggie Williams, Taylor Mays, Navaro Bowman, Ahmad Brooks, Aldon Smith. Goodwin will be solid for us so will Snyder. WR position worries me the most, there are only 2 options, Floyed and Edwards. Both I think will be serviceable but Alex Smith is not known for his deep ball.

we dont need to go get any BIG name players, all big name players bring is dissapointment and large salaries which in the new cba is not a good thing. PEOPLE YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT GETTING BIG NAME FREE AGENTS DONT TRANSLATE INTO VICTORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop beig stupid, your making 49ers fans look like idiots. all we need is to keep drafting well and keep who we already have (unless there too old and want to much money for what they do a.k.a nate clements and a. franklin. from what i gather we are no further from winning the nfc west as any other team in the division.

Making a big FA signing just to make one doesn't make any sense. Throwing big money at FA's that have 1-2 years productivity left just because of their name is stupid. They have the talent in the club to be successful, all they have to do is replace some of their losses. The depth that they have in house should be enough to get them through in most cases, with the exception of WR. However, bringing in too many new offensive players is going to be counter-productive as they won't have had any time with the playbook. Say what you want about Alex Smith, but he has had more time with this playbook than any other player on the team – he is set up the best to succeed.

Costanzo was an all PRO special teamer..we need guys to play special teams which is a very huge aspect of footballl that goes unnoticed by the casual fan..so this is a great pickup for special teams purposes. We need to have more faitih in our coaching staff and trust that we finally have some competence ..I remember Harbaugh doing the unexpected while at Stanford..I have all the faith and confidence that Harbaugh will lead us to more wins. One or two wins over the past two seasons and we are in the playoffs..Once you get in the playoffs anything is possible.

I have been a fan all my life but this offseason has been nothing short of depressing. It was exciting to see harbaugh get hired but not in a million years did i think alex smith would be back, let alone the starter. The draft was disappointing and free agency has been even worse. The only changes made was the release of some of our defense, which was a pretty good defense, along with letting franklyn get away. All of these players have been replaced on the roster by rookies or someone i've never heard of. Even now there are still holes to fill. Harbaugh better make magic happen. Was gonna buy tickets to 3 games but holding off. Tired of paying to watch them lose.

If anyone out there wants "full of himself" Owens back on this team, then either they are too young to remember what a pain Owens was (and probably still is), or they aren't true 49er fans. Also, one big name or two doesn't win championships. It's a team in general.

Hey this is good… No big names BUT filling necessary gaps… Remember Harbaugh is here for 5 years at least and he said they would be patient… They will evaluate and there will be big names to come in the future… I'll bet by Harbaughs 3rd year The 9ers will be consistently winning the NFC west again.. I know its hard to be patient cause we've been patient for far too long but I think its finally going to pay off… Go Niners!!!!!!!

Nice loving whats going with the 9ers…. Frank back in practice and the team has made some quality signs without getting enveloped in long term deals… C Jonathan Goodwin is a great pick up who will bring a winning attitude to the line and looking at the line with this plug there is a lot of reasons to be optimistic for a much improved O-line in 2011. Chilo and Iupati are young and powerful guards, Adams should take a leap forwarded. and if not Bone might take it over or aleast rotate and Synder can play every where if Staley can stay healthy we might end up with a top 10 O-line….. I would love it if we went after Lenord Davis

i believe that today we finally saw a great leap in the signing of both goodwin and rogers. we have a center we can have faith in and a good corner to pick up the slack. as long as we STAY AWAY from game costing and dropping Terrible Owens we will be okay. Braylon Edwards would be a huge bonus and the biggest hope too win the division this year. Have Faith it is possible.

I've been a little nervous by the Niners lack of activity in FA, but Goodwin and Rogers are solid and probably less costly than keeping Baas and Clements. If we can get a decent WR I'll be happy. Let's see what Harbaugh can do. My guess is 8-8 this year and A. Smith will be better than most think. We don't need big names, we need good player and to build through the draft. With the new rookie pay scale that will be big in the coming years.

I got your back on this one Cade, we are NOT throwing away the season for Luck, we bringing in solid people if anything the close competition is going to make the few leaders and play makers stand out, and those who don't will make our special teams great! We needed and experienced C and now we got one to make sure Sydner doesn't goof off, and last time I check, theres a super bowl ring on his finger, that means something, he know's what it takes, when you can be the man that blocked for Brees, and be the guy to make sure he didn't end up on his azz to make all those great throws Brees made, you have my vote.

You guys need to get off of Alex Smith. The guy has the vitale characteristics of a starting QB! He is resilient, confident, mentally tough, and true to his team and never backs away from his commitment to himself and the team! Most of you would quit and go work somewhere else if you took the scrutiny that he takes year in and year out, from fans, and fellow players. The dude is unshakeable and you think some other qb is out there just waiting? Look, he has had some great football minds evaluate him and talk with him and watch him work over his career and they all saw something special in this guy. He can do it. Let the man stay verticle and give him some targets to hit and I know the playoffs are a realistic goal this season! Alex Smith does not suck at all. He needs a guy like Coach H and some consistency and health because he has the tools there and obviously he has the heart and mind to get it done

I am so tired of all the negative fans out there. What is that going to do for you? Just make you age faster! I am in a sit back and let the season unfold mode. Not that worried about what is going to happen. Yes, I want the 9ers to win but I am a realist. I think we have a chance at the West but lets just see what happens. Does anyone remember the year the 9ers won their first Superbowl? Really, were they a team pack with superstars? Not really, so lets just see what happens with this season. I am sure Jim Harbaugh will get the best he can out of what he has! Have some faith all you faithless!!!!!!

Hey akuma, apparently you don't know football that much. Carlos Rogers has only played for the redskins and has been a solid starter since he came into the league. As a niner fan my whole life, I wish the rest of the niner faithful would actually have faith. I say we add Kelvin Hayden to add 1 more CB, then go after Floyd or Steve Smith to strengthen the WR position.

Good boys! Keep em coming! We need that #1 receiver because Crabtree does nothing but whine. Lets get workhorse, preferably someone with some size/speed to clear out the safteys, and let Davis pick them apart in the middle.
Pretty sure Malcolm Floyd from SD is 6″5 and still out there, maybe Braylon Edwards, I'd take t.o/moss at this point! DO something boys!

its hard not to be better than last season. keep faith guys. We will be fine. We got the best free agent. Jim Harbaugh.

This is a little more like it too (especially the Center), but I'll repeat myself:
Listen you all calling us whiners: why do you think we are so bummed? Because we bleed gold & red too! The way the front office has run this team for the past 10 years is outright disgraceful, period. I really do believe they've chosen to wing this season so they can get #1 pick and re-unite Coach H with his last QB – another year of suffering in the meanwhile is hard to look forward to. How many times did Willis say Franklin is the one who made him an all-pro by taking out his blocker at line and now we just shrug Franklin off and hope Ricky can do the job – ouch! In all honesty, this is worse than the dry period of the late 70′s when it seemed like management didn't know what they were doing then…Eddie/Bill/George: we need you (bad)!!! Help!
As for Edwards, please don't poison our team with his toxic personality. We have good receivers, we need a QB who can get them the ball consistently, not just a game or quarter here & there. And we need a better O line and D secondary – then we'd be on top of NFC West. I can't believe the Rams have turned their team around before we could – disgraceful…
Go Niners, but if you start 0-8, 1-7, 2-6 the season will be over for me in early Nov (again) – ouch! (again)…

Ok here is the way it is the niners should be ok on D, sure we lost a few guys but they were aging and slowing prodution wise. so we added Aldon Smith i think he could eventually replace Spikes. Adding two veterans in the secondary is a good move and the addition of Goodwin is great. The best option right now For QB is Alex Smith. He knows the team and has been there before and really is the only QB on the roster that is not a rookie. There is no way Kaepernick will be ready to play in this short amount of time. Niners need a deep threat and a corner. Our offense is west coast and relies heavily on Tight End Which i think we have two of the fastest and best in the league so Crabtree will be our other quick threat all we need is a stretch guy to take advantage of all those short quick plays we will be running.

Edwards and Floyd would be Great Pick Ups for the 49ers and having them both would go along way in opening up things in the middle for Davis to run wild!!! Then you have Gore gouging team up the middle!!! Who do you defend then??? Crabtree and Morgan have been way too inconsistant to be anything other than backups at this point!!!! While the signing of Goodwin is positive, they really need to focus on getting someone to catch the damm ball and keeping a OC in place for longer than 1 season!!!! You blame Smith for his short comings, But you try learning a different Offense every year and see how far you get and the numbers you produce!!!! if you ever played a sport, then you would not be so critical of someone whom is trying to do his best with what he has been given!!!

At first I Honestly thought it might be true. Niners could possibly be throwing away the season to grab Andrew Luck. and Hey as a true niner fan if thats your plan go for it!.. but its apparent thats not there plan, they let go of clements, (Smart move), got rid of Franklin (franklin was good but getting old and to much money probably to bring back when we have issac soopaga, and jean frac.. how ever u say his name lol whow will fill the void just fine). Lawson i rooted for, but just never produced like we had hoped n planned. time to give aldon smith that job.. soo whats the niners Question marks?? most people including myself would say Defensive Backfield, center position, QB, and WR. which seems to be alot of holes.. well alll of a sudden the niners Signed Carlos Rodgers CB, who is a good Cover Corner back with apparently Brick hands.. hell im fine with that! as long as he makes plays on the ball thats an upgrade. we god goodwin. UPGRADE. (now we have staley, iupati, goodwin, and hopefully rachal.davis will come around).. and are apparently after Edwards/Floyd. either way they go will be a HUGE boost to the offense. Now the only hole in my eyes is the QB. and niners have Faith Coach Harbough will have a plan with him and can produce.. if not im lovin what i see from C.K so far..so ninerss they are not throwing away the season.. HAVE FAITH thats why we are all part of the NINER FAITHFUL BABY!… good luck this season!

Alex Smith doesn't have the arm strength to be a good QB in this league, plain and simple; but we can win football games with him, if he can just manage games. That's all I ask now that he's not being paid like the #1 pick anymore.
Definitely should have resigned Franklin, but I can buy that Sopoaga and Jean-Francois can get it done.
Goldson to Williams is a downgrade, but Clements to Rodgers is an upgrade. Manny Lawson is too weak–Aldon will more than fill his role. Bowman is younger and faster than Takeo (who doesn't know what winning is anyways).
I really like the O-line and our offense has weapons…maybe we just need one more receiver. A big guy who runs like a gazelle and can stretch the field vertically. That way Veron, Frankie, Jr, and Crabs can eat defenses up underneath. Malcom Floyd is the obvious choice there. Forget Braylon, San Fran already has a diva receiver.
Overall, the roster might have different names, but the team is just as talented as last year. We got out of the gates slow last year and lost a lot of close games, and some how managed to only fall a game away from the playoffs. With the new and improved coaching staff along with the right kind of fan support we should be able to make it this season.
The rest of the NFC West isn't that far ahead of us, and we have a light schedule–please don't boo our players this year.

Before we start making predictions on our team having the first pick in next years draft let's see what our new coach can do with the team. Don't forget last year the Bucs hired a new coach and almost got them in the playoffs with a roster full of young guys I never even heard of. And of course the one that sticks in my mind is how Bill Walsh ( The greatest coach of all time ) took our mediocre team from the bottom of the league to Superbowl champions, and he did it with a hall of fame quarterback he picked up in the 3rd round.

Finally the front office has signed a couple of players that can help our team immediately. We needed the center and qa DB that could replace Clements and I believe Rogers can do that adequately. I also understand the need to sign you players and build the team…but you can do this simultaneously. You hope to hit on a couple of young guys (ala Hicks and Wright), but don't forget, they also were bringing in veterans at that time i.e., Haley, Board, Francis to name a few (you younger guys can look them up).
I liked how Brandon Lloyd summed it up (leading receiver on the Bronco's last year by the way) "We've got Tim Rattay, who can play in this league and deliver tha ball and they get rid of him to play Alex Smith…As a veteran you say, you are just going to s— on our season to develop for the future?" I am hoping we can win this year so we don't lose our main stays i.e., Willis, Justin, Gore…
I anticipate that we will see CK before the end of the year. And, I don't believe they are tanking the season, because I do believe Harbaugh thinks he has a QB in CK!!

One side effect of a new coaching staff there isn't emotions attached to certain players. So that why numerous defensive starters are gone. Spikes is getting older… but with the dominance of Willis and the ability of the young guys… there is no drop off at LB. But quality depth is needed. Veteran lineman, especially at center, especially a Pro Bowl center from a championship team, is a substancial addition to the line. With the those big young guys and Gore and Smith will benefit from that greatly. Whitners ability is greater than Goldsons. He had a ton of tackles last year. Same with Madieu Williams. I hope Mays isn't dealt though. I think our team got better overall especially with the signing of Edwards. Maybe him, Crabs, and Davis can wreak havoc

Wikileaks founder denied Swedish residency permit
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been denied in his bid for a Swedish residency permit, part of the Australian's effort to gain protection for the whistleblower site under Sweden's press freedom laws. On August 18, Assange applied to live and work in Sweden, where Wikileaks maintains some of its servers, and on Monday, his …
Can't help but feel...
... that if this happened in China then all of the free world press would be taking up the case and western governments providing -ahem- "funding for freedom".
Interim conclusion: strange ol' world innit?
...what you do is you go to a country (Sweden) that's at war in another country (Afghanistan), release a load of confidential documents with the potential to damage the Swedish/coalition effort whilst all the time complaining loudly about how Sweden is being manipulated by the USA to blacken your name and have you arrested... and then you can complain a bit more when they don't let you stay.
My heart bleeds.
Leave Assange alone...
... He's just doin it for teh lulz.
Uh... Why do we know this?
Y'know, if I applied for residency in a country, I would hope that my application would be private; as in, "We will not publish to the international community whether we accepted or denied your request."
Why is a celebrity so different that we get to know his private application status?
Well ...
Probably someone posted it on Wikileaks. Why wouldn't they? Everyone has a right to know everything a public body is involved with, don't they?
We didn't
Sweden refused to give the reason why he was denied, so we don't know this. But I guess this application would be an official action, and Scandinavian countries have different ideas about privacy to UK/US. Or if it went through a court, it would be part of official record, so released to the public. I suspect they didn't make a special case out of him.
Public verses Private details.
His application is still private (note that the article states the reason for denial is confidential ie not public) however the fact that he applied is not private and the official outcome (rejection) is not private also, this is surely correct, as it is is in the publicv interest who is applying, just like getting planning permission for buliding works, it gives the public the ability to put forward evidence/reasons for possible acceptance/rejection.
Just like some states publish driving test results showing who passed and who failed (not why they failed though!) as using public roads is in the public interest.
Public application, Private details. Nothing wrong here.
>Why do we know this
<obvious joke>because some SOB leaked it?</obvious joke>
Human nature being what it is its pretty inevitable that anything pertaining to the guy will be leaked by someone...
If Sweden won't have him, maybe try Denmark?
For one thing, the Danes hate the Swedes, so might adopt him purely because the Swedes didn't. For another, it's just a short walk across the water for Assange.
Why is a celebrity so different that we get to know his private application status?
Didn't seem to apply to the original dubious accusations against him though, did it?
Concerns for privacy seem to be selective one way. Something stinks in the Kingdom next to Denmark.
Interestingly he wasn't a celebrity as wikileaks tried to stay secret, until that is the US government brought him far into the limelight to then systematically attack and undermine him. In effect, they raised him up so they could then publicly bring him down. I guess that's the 21st century equivalently of a medieval public flogging to enforce the idea you need to be fearful of speaking out against our masters.
So this latest move is just another scene from his on going public flogging.
Press release
"The Swedish immigration authority declined to provide a reason for the denial of Assange's application, saying the reason is confidential. "
Perhaps when he finds out the reason he could leak it on the site.
Because its a game, no one in charge really wants him to move to Sweden and thus have some legal protection to stop them taking down Wikileaks servers. Hence the rape allegation, that gives them something to 'look into' and a reason to turn his application down.
Swedish flag of convenience?
Or has he always had a liking for expensive alcohol and meatballs and modern furniture?
i wonder
what he is running from.
The reason should be on Wikileaks soon...
"The Swedish immigration authority declined to provide a reason for the denial of Assange's application, saying the reason is confidential."
Goes With The Turf
I support freedom of speech and the people who make public what 'they' would rather be kept from us. But really, this guy shouldn't be surprised when this sort of thing happens.
If you're going to try and stick it to 'the man' then be prepared for the repercussions.
"Never get off the boat. Unless you're going all the way."
Am I imagining it, or didn't Iceland introduce some hefty pro-leaking legislation recently? If he took them up, we'd be able to claim that "'not keeping Mum's' gone to Iceland"!
I'll get my coat...

For the first time ever, the Manhasset Proponents of School Accountability (MPSA) and the Port Washington Educational Assembly (PWEA) are supporting the proposed school budgets in our communities, as both budgets are meeting the new tax cap limits. While both of our groups favored a budget with no tax increase in these difficult times, in the interest of unifying our communities, we agreed to support any budget that met the new tax limit even though the budget increases ($1.5 million in Manhasset and $2.7 million in Port Washington) are, for the most part, increases in employee salaries and benefits.
However, in regard to salary and benefits, many Long Island teachers are agreeing to salary concessions, as they realize there are literally thousands of qualified teacher applicants for teaching jobs, and that LI teachers now have the highest salaries of all teachers in the nation. Manhasset teachers should be commended for agreeing to defer their STEP increases for half a year in each of the next two years, and taking a zero COLA increase for this coming school year and only a 1 percent increase the following year. Unfortunately, Port Washington teachers failed to make similar concessions and will continue to receive salary increases of 12 percent over the next two years.
It should be noted, for the first time, there is recourse for residents who consider their school taxes burdensome and object to any increase in the budget. The new law offers them real relief and real power. If any budget is defeated twice, the allowable tax increase is zero.
Finally, we advocate key reforms in Albany if we are going to avoid having to choose between unreasonable tax increases or program cuts down the road. The Triborough Amendment must be changed to eliminate the continuation of STEP increases after a union contract expires, so as to put the union under the same pressure as school boards during contract negotiations. Today all the pressure is on school boards. Second, we need tenure reform to improve educational quality and not be forced to layoff well performing young teachers to the detriment of educational excellence. Third, we need more pension reform as current pensions are still far too generous with the bulk of the costs borne by the taxpayers. Finally, Wicks Law must be changed to reduce the waste in large construction projects. Unfortunately, many politicians are intimidated by teacher unions and refuse to deal with these needed reforms. That is a battle for another day.
Laurann Pandelakis, MPSA
Frank J. Russo, Jr., PWEA

|Shaheen-I / Hatf-IV
|Short-range Ballistic Missile

|Service history

|6 March 2003

|Army Strategic Command
|Production history
|National Defence Complex (NDC)

|Shaheen I (750km)

|Transporter erector launcher (TEL)
The Shaheen-I (Urdu: 'شاهين), is a codename of a missile system programme that was developed by the joint venture of NESCOM and the National Defence Complex (NDC). It is dedicated and named after a species of Falcon found in the mountains of Pakistan. The Shaheen I is also designated Hatf IV. Both the Shaheen I and Shaheen IA are Pakistan's equivalent to the United States Pershing I and Pershing IA series.[2]
Shaheen 1[edit]
Shaheen I is a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) with an optimal range of 750 km and propelled by a two-stage solid-fuel rocket motor. The Shaheen I can deliver either a conventional or a nuclear payload much faster than liquid fuelled missiles such as the Ghauri because it does not need to be fuelled before launch, reducing deployment time significantly.
The Shaheen I is believed to be very accurate;[2] Pakistani military sources state a CEP of 25 to 50 m can be achieved,[3] partly due to a "post-separation attitude correction system."[4] This system would allow the missile to modify its trajectory, improving accuracy and, along with the stealthy warhead shaping, giving some capability to evade missile defence systems. It is based on terminal guidance system technology, which improves warhead accuracy by firing small thrusters to adjust the warhead's trajectory and uses satellite navigation systems to help find the target. Such systems would allow the Shaheen to be used against strategic targets without requiring a nuclear warhead to ensure the target's destruction.[4]
According to other sources, the CEP of Shaheen I is 200 meters.[5][6]
Shaheen 1A[edit]
On 25 April 2012, Pakistan successfully test-launched an upgraded Shaheen I called Shaheen 1A. The military said in a statement that the Shaheen 1A is a medium-range ballistic missile.[7] It is an improved version of the Shaheen 1 with better accuracy and double the range of its predecessor.[8]
The Pakistani military initially did not publicly reveal the range of the missile which lead to media speculation of the true range of the missile. According to a defense analyst in Islamabad, this missile could be equipped with warheads designed to evade missile defense systems.[9] The speed of the Shaheen 1A also provides an extremely high impact speed for nearby targets, enabling it to avoid any anti-ballistic missile defenses that may develop in the immediate region. A western official in Islamabad mentioned that the Shaheen 1A missile seems to have an improved ability to strike at its targets. It also has a more powerful engine, which means that it travels at scramjet speeds and can strike at longer distances than Shaheen-1.[10]
On 25 April 2012, the ISPR revealed more information about the missile. The missile weight is approximately 10,000 kg, slightly heavier than its predecessor and can carry a single 1000 kg warhead.[11] In addition, the Shaheen IA primarily contains sophisticated automated refueling and advanced stealth technology features that were not present in its previous version to avoid detections from radars. All three Shaheen missiles, Shaheen I, Shaheen 1A and Shaheen II are reportedly equipped with the latest PSAC (Post-Separation Altitude Correction) system. This is a unique feature which consists of small thrusters that can adjust the warhead trajectory for greater accuracy and evading anti-ballistic missile defence systems. The features of the missile could also serve as a testbed of features which could be implemented on the yet to be deployed Shaheen III.[12][13]
Operational history[edit]
The Shaheen I was first test-launched on April 15, 1999. Two test-launches of a second version with greater range and improved accuracy were carried out in October 2002 and two more in October 2003. A batch of Shaheen I missiles, enough to equip one regiment/battery, was handed over to the Pakistan Army in 2003 along with mobile launchers.[citation needed] Another was tested on 8 May 2010[14] The Shaheen 1A was test fired on 25 April 2012.[15] On April 10, 2013 Pakistan tested another Shaheen 1A[16]
