Jurors in the murder trial of Anthony Stargell, Jr., now know the defense strategy in the case which involves the death of Portsmouth native Tommy Nickles — self defense. According to a story in the Dayton Daily News, the trial began on Monday with jury selection, and during opening arguments, Stargell's attorney Marshall Lachman told the newly selected jurors Nickles was "reaching for something" at the moment Stargell shoots him.
What has made the case so compelling is that the prosecutor in the case, Daniel Brant, says Stargell not only shot Nickles, but killed his companion dog, Rusty, then set fire to Nickles' business, Quality One Electric in Dayton on April 2, 2012. Nickles was subsequently buried along with his dog.
In addition to aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, arson, and grand theft auto, Stargell is also accused of taking surveillance equipment — 22 counts in all.
In order for the death penalty to come into the sentencing phase, should Stargell be found guilty, the jury must find Stargell guilty of aggravated murder — meaning they must find that Stargell killed Nickles while committing or attempting to commit aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary or aggravated arson. Earlier in the year it was announced that an animal cruelty charge was possibly going to be added to the laundry list of counts.
Brandt said Stargell lied repeatedly to police about knowing Nickles, having been to the business or shooting or killing anyone. According to the account of the trial in the Dayton Daily News, Brandt said Stargell tried to pull out wires connected to surveillance equipment, called a cousin to help him wipe down fingerprints with towels and that the .40-caliber handgun and other guns from Nickles' business were found at Stargell's uncle's residence. Stargell's uncle is serving a federal prison sentence for arms dealing.
Judge Gregory F. Singer is hearing the case.
Nickles' mother, Roberta Nickles, his brothers Randy and Darrell, all reside in Scioto County.

For years women have fought the ideals of the media and society that claim being thin is beautiful. Women are taught that if they want to be famous or acknowledged, they better start shedding some pounds. Though this 'thin is best' attitude is still around, the presence of plus size celebrities encourage women to push these standards aside and continue to chase after their dreams. Let's meet the women that prove all women, regardless of their size, must fight for their goals.

For gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their supporters, June is a month of pride and celebration.
Around the globe, LGBT Pride Month has been marked with parades and marches, festivals and dances, and in some cases, protests and counter-protests. In the United States, much of the celebrations have focused on a string of victories in states where gay marriage bans were overturned.
Downtown Minneapolis was packed with supporters Sunday morning as the annual Twin Cities Pride Parade took place along Hennepin Avenue.
There were rainbow flags waving and people packing the street cheering and celebrating. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken could be seen marching in the parade.
The parade draws people from all across the state from all walks of life to come together to celebrate gay rights.
The Twin Cities Pride Festival wrapped up at Loring Park later in the day.

Reilly said sometimes Cohoes residents would be closer to certain fires near the border of town and allowing more Cohoes volunteers would improve response time.
"I thank Assemblyman Reilly for his support in lifting this cap and allowing us to better serve our community in times of emergency," said Clough. "Recruitment has become a ongoing challenge and threat to public safety and by removing this limit, we are in a better position to add volunteers and provide a higher level of service to the public."
Reilly said other state departments have passed similar laws and saw success.
Recently, three recruits approved by the district's Board of Fire Commissioners; could not join due residency limitations, according to information from Reilly's office.
The legislation was forwarded to the Senate on Wednesday, June 2 and was reviewed on Tuesday, June 15. The Senate has not yet voted on the bill.
Attempts to contact Ball to clarify his nay vote were unsuccessful.

SES Falls as German TV Switch-Off to Weigh on 2012: Paris Mover
Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- SES SA, the world's largest publicly traded satellite operator, dropped the most in almost seven months in Paris trading as Germany's analog satellite television switch-off will weigh on 2012 earnings growth.
The stock fell as much as 5.5 percent to 17.56 euros. That's the steepest intraday decline since July 23. It traded 5 percent lower at 10:45 a.m. in Paris, giving the company a market value of about 7 billion euros ($9.2 billion).
Recurring revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, which exclude currency movements and one-time items, will rise by about 2 percent and 1 percent respectively this year, the Luxembourg-based company forecast today. Excluding the analogue impact, revenue and Ebitda on that basis are both predicted to rise by about 9 percent this year.
"The German switch-off is impacting our guidance," Chief Executive Officer Romain Bausch said in an interview. "The underlying growth trends excluding this one-off impact are strong and sustainable."
The CEO predicted the German switch-off will cut revenue by about 73 million euros this year.
Satellite Delays
Recent delays in satellite launches and solar-array circuit failures are also affecting the 2012 revenue and Ebitda growth rates. SES forecast annual average revenue growth of about 4.5 percent and Ebitda of 4 percent on a recurring basis for 2012 to 2014. Excluding the switch-off impact, the annual average growth rate for sales and Ebitda is of about 7.5 percent.
The three-year guidance "implies a 2012 below expectations," said Saverio Papagno, an analyst at AZ Fund Management in Luxembourg. "This is due to the German switch-off and some technical problems with a couple of satellites. That's why the market is nervous on them today."
The 2012 guidance is "disappointing," according to Oddo, a Paris-based brokerage.
SES said 2011 net income rose 27 percent to 617.7 million euros because of lower financing charges and taxes. Revenue was little changed at 1.73 billion euros. Analysts expected profit of 557.2 million euros and revenue of 1.74 billion euros, according to the averages of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
SES, which is launching satellites to add capacity as demand from clients increases, said its contract backlog was 7 billion euros at the end of 2011, "substantially replenished" by about 2 billion euros of renewals and new business signed in the year. The company is proposing a dividend of 88 cents per share from 80 cents a share a year earlier.
SES may sell bonds in the U.S. later this year to diversify its funding, Chief Financial Officer Andrew Browne said in an interview.

It's been over two years since I first discovered Brockley Market and I feel that while B.M. is still worth a visit, if one is in the area, I am not so enamored of it as I once was. Perhaps it's the change of vendors, the constant lack of available seating, and, on my last visit, the underwhelming selection of local fruit and veg, that bum me out. Dunno.

Exactly a week after the controversial White Paper on irrigation was tabled in the Maharashtra Cabinet, senior Nationalist Congress Party leader, Ajit Pawar, was again sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister on Friday. Governor K. Sankaranarayanan administered the oath of office to Mr. Pawar in the presence of Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan.
"No one had urged me to resign. I did so of my own accord so that my presence as a Minister would in no way influence the White Paper on the irrigation scam," said Mr. Pawar, remarking that the Opposition would nitpick anyway, even if the government was doing 'good work.'
Mr. Pawar is yet to be allotted a portfolio and it is expected that he would get one only after the end of the winter session of the legislature.
His return was a fait accompli following the release of the White Paper that virtually gave the NCP leader a clean chit. Mr. Pawar, who resigned from his post dramatically in late September this year, was re-instated with equal suddenness, despite the government failing to make any significant progress in its inquiry into the scam. He had quit his post following allegations of massive irregularities that detailed his granting project approvals totalling Rs. 20,000 crore during an eight-month period without the mandatory clearance of the governing council of the Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation (VIDC) during his stint as Water Resources Minister between 1999 and 2009.
The White Paper (the handiwork of the Irrigation Department), instead of addressing these issues, was mired in purposeless detail, skirting the corruption plaguing irrigation projects.
The Opposition was vehement in its censure of Mr. Pawar's comeback after 72 days in the political wilderness.
The BJP called the resignation and the subsequent issue of White Paper as a 'grand farce from beginning to end' and 'a cruel joke on the farmers in the State.'
"If he [Ajit Pawar] has the guts, then he should be ready for a SIT probe. If he is proved innocent, then he should come back into the Cabinet with respect," said Leader of the Opposition Eknath Khadse, adding it was unfortunate that the Chief Minister had to re-induct Mr. Pawar owing to NCP pressure.
"What court of law has given him [Ajit Pawar] a clean chit… he himself is proclaiming his innocence. It's a deal cut by the Chief Minister to save his own chair," said Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut.
The Opposition has warned of a massive rally in protest against the White Paper and Mr. Pawar's re-induction.

PORTLAND, Ore. It is relatively common for doctors to diagnose someone with multiple sclerosis when the patient doesn't have the disease a misdiagnosis that not only causes patients potential harm but costs the U.S. health care system untold millions of dollars a year, according to a study published online today in the journal Neurology.
The study is based on a survey of 122 multiple sclerosis specialists nationwide and was conducted by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Neurology is the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The survey found that all but six of the multiple sclerosis specialists more than 95 percent had seen at least one patient within the past year who had been diagnosed with MS by another medical provider, but the MS specialist "strongly felt [the patient] did not in fact have MS."
Almost three-quarters of the MS specialists said they had seen at least three patients within the past year who they believe had been misdiagnosed. More than one-third of respondents said they had seen six or more patients within the past year who had been misdiagnosed. In total, the study estimated that the 122 MS specialists had seen almost 600 patients within the past year who had been misdiagnosed with MS.
Many of the MS specialists said a significant percentage of these misdiagnosed patients had already begun disease-modifying therapy for MS, which carries potentially serious side effects and can be very expensive, often at least $40,000 per patient per year. Based on the responses from the MS specialists, the study estimated that the 122 MS specialists had seen approximately 280 patients who had been misdiagnosed and were receiving MS treatment costing the health system at least $11 million per year in unnecessary and inappropriate treatment for that group of patients alone.
"What we found was that the misdiagnosis of MS

LUXEMBOURG (AP) — Europe made little progress Tuesday in its efforts to secure the region's stricken financial system and ensure that failing banks never risk an entire country's economy again when finance ministers from the 27-country European Union failed to agree on how a single banking supervisor should be set up.
A handful of countries made a small breakthrough at a meeting of ministers in Luxembourg, deciding to impose a tax on financial transactions in the hopes of curbing risky, speculative trades and perhaps even creating a fund that could be used to help banks in trouble. The 11 countries that support the tax still have to hammer out exactly how it will work and submit it for approval.
But the ministers were still blocked on larger issues of how the 17 countries that use the euro will move closer together economically and politically — something they all agree is vital to the future of their currency.
Spain's finance minister, Luis de Guindos, said that only bold action would remove fears for the eurozone and that only once those fears were removed would concerns subside about his own country, which many fear may need a bailout. Spain has been coming under pressure to take up the European Central Bank's offer of buying up a country's bonds to help keep its borrowing costs down. The ECB's offer comes with strict conditions and the Spanish government is working hard to make sure those conditions will not mean further austerity measures. The country has already asked for help for its banks.
De Guindos would not say if his country was preparing to ask for a full bailout, calling the issue "delicate".
"It's logical that if there are doubts about the future of the euro, all those countries that the markets are focused on shows this uncertainty on their spreads," he told reporters, referring to the difference in interest rates charged on a struggling country's bonds and the rate of a more financially secure country such as Germany.
Progress was slow as ministers continued to debate the fine points of how Europe's banks should be supervised and how much help they can be given by the European bailout fund.
Europe is in its third year of its financial crisis, brought on in part by overspending and excessive government debt. Recessions in several countries have worsened the problem, and EU leaders have struggled to solve the twin problems of too much debt and too little growth.
Banks have played a big role in creating the eurozone's financial crisis. The government debt the banks had bought up during the boom times of the eurozone is now no longer considered a safe bet and the banks are struggling to unload it — usually at hefty losses. Governments have been forced to step in to prop the banks up in many cases. But rescuing banks is expensive and has added to investors' concerns that European countries are simply spending too much.
The challenge now is to break this vicious cycle. Several countries want Europe's new permanent bailout fund — the European Stability Mechanism — to have the power to hand money to banks directly, rather than lending it through national governments as it does now.

Entrepreneurs We Love…Because They're Creating a Cleaner, Greener Life
For putting down roots in business
Amy Norquist, 47
New York City
Amy Norquist was a rising star of the environmental nonprofit world, having toiled at half a dozen nonprofits, each with the word earth in its name, and having become, in 2003, deputy director at the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries in New York. Then, in 2007, she tried to install a green roof on her home in Shelter Island, New York. "This is just hellish,"she thought. "Other people shouldn't have to go through this." And now they don't. Norquist left Beacon, woodshedded for six months, and emerged with a plan for Greensulate, now a $1.2 million company that has insulated 100,000 square feet of rooftop with gorgeous meadows of lavender, native grasses, and sedum. The effort has eliminated 3,300 pounds of carbon from the atmosphere. Read the full story.

I would have said the same thing some years back. Then it come Guillaume de Verdier, a very young architect (a kid really
) designed a revolutionary class 40 made of wood and with chines. He said the chines would help the boat to be faster.
I (and I am sure a lot of guys) thought he was crazy and that the chines were there because it was the less expensive way to build that boat.
We were wrong, the boat was a winner, then he made Safran, the fastest of the actual Open 60 generation (excluding the new boats that are being launched), again a boat with chines. Now all designers are putting chines on their boats, and not only on the Open 60 and class 40, but also on the new Volvo 70.
The Open 60 lead again the way in hull design, not only in what regards the use of chines, but in what regards the type of transom. Have a good look at the new generation Volvo 70. All of them also have broad transom and that as nothing to do with the boat being wide or not. It was to do with the way the transom is laid

SpectraRep's New Version of AlertManager(TM) Enables Compliance with New FCC Requirement of Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Messaging for EAS.
CHANTILLY, Va. -- SpectraRep, the leading provider of digital media and applications solutions via digital television and satellite, today announced the release of AlertManager[TM] version 1.3, an enhanced emergency notification and critical information system. This system enables compliance with the newly-issued Report and Order from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requiring Emergency Alert System (EAS) participants to accept messages using the open, non-proprietary Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). AlertManager, one of the first systems to implement the latest version of the CAP standard, is currently being deployed by public warning authorities in jurisdictions across the country, both as an operational system and as a pilot technology.
The new FCC rule is designed to strengthen the nation's Emergency Alert System by promoting the development of fully digital next generation EAS technologies and delivery systems that will better serve the American public.
Edward Czarnecki, Senior Vice President of SpectraRep, who was appointed to the FCC's Commercial Mobile Alert Advisory Committee by Commissioner Kevin Martin in 2007, commented, "The FCC action is a major step toward a needed enhancement of public alerting and warning capabilities. The decision to require EAS participants to accept CAP messages will help ensure a greater array of warning channels is available to government authorities, providing a better chance to deliver more effective, consistent and timely warnings to our diverse population."
The AlertManager system enables the new alerting capabilities identified by the FCC which include state and local notifications in addition to Presidential alerting. AlertManager also supports geo-targeted all-hazards alerting, to include weather warnings and AMBER Alerts. AlertManager delivers efficient and rapid transmission of these EAS alerts to the public in a variety of formats and via broadcast, cable, satellite, and other networks and interoperates with other communications systems, such as mobile networks, text messaging, digital signage, sirens, public address systems, and enterprise applications.
AlertManager also enables emergency managers and government officials to issue CAP alerts, text, audio and video, as well as transmit supplemental alerting resources, such as maps, graphics, and documents. AlertManager also provides services for the visually- and hearing-impaired and supports for multiple languages.
"CAP helps speed transition to next-generation systems, while maintaining compatibility with existing warning systems, such as the current Emergency Alert System and NOAA Weather Radio," said Czarnecki. "AlertManager provides the essential element of interoperability between these legacy alerting systems and next-generation solutions."
SpectraRep is providing systems integration, project management services and software applications for the Digital Emergency Alert System (DEAS). The DEAS program, a wireless data delivery system that will deliver next generation Presidential alert and warning capabilities to the American public, is a joint endeavor of the Association of Public Television Stations (APTS) and the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA's Office of National Security Coordination serves as the federal government's executive agent for the national-level Emergency Alert System (EAS).

Hi there,
I try to buy some things but my problem is that I can't buy everything I want. Sometimes i get a message from Paypal that this payment not work.
Is it possible that some merchants here on this site dont accept paypal payments? I have more than enough on my paypal account and sometimes it works and sometimes not. So is it possible that some merchants just accept creditcards ?
Best Regards,

Mélat - Stardate
Artist: Mélat
Producer: Pha the Phenom
Album: Canon Ourania: The Illumination EP
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 2 votes )
Released to the 'net in late November, alt-R&B buzzmaker Mélat's Canon Ourania: The Illumination EP currently holds a perfect 5.0-star average rating on our pages. (Hopefully I didn't jinx the project by mentioning it.) That alone should be enough to convince you it's worth a download—it is free, after all—but those who require firsthand evidence of its excellence need look no further than new single Stardate. Here, Pha the Phenom's ambient synths and stripped-down rhythm section accompany the indie soul songstress as she lets a certain man know just how happy she is to have him in her life: "You're the lyrics to my song." Pha's stylishly understated visuals round out the package. Feeling it? Then what are you waiting for—click here to cop Mélat's latest project for free right here in the Booth.

July 21 is "No Pet Store Puppies Day," and we're celebrating the third year of our campaign to put an end to puppy mills. If you're looking for an opportunity to get involved, we know someone looking for help—meet Molly!
Molly, along with her faithful pup, Joey, is out to teach the world all about puppy mills and why you shouldn't shop at pet stores that sell puppies.
Molly and Joey want to make sure their message reaches as many people as possible, so please share their video with the hashtag #MeetMolly after you've watched it.
Join Our Puppy Mill Twitter Chat
Next week we're hosting a Puppy Mill Twitter Chat to answer ALL of your questions about puppy mills. Where do pet store puppies come from? What really happens to mill dogs when they can no longer breed? Is my dog from a puppy mill? How can I help? Join us, and co-hosts Thoughts Fur Paws and Dog Book on Tuesday, July 23, at 1:00 P.M. ET. Use hashtag #ASPCAchat to join the conversation.
For more information on No Pet Store Puppies Day, please visit nopetstorepuppies.com. And remember—adopt, don't shop!
The treatment of our animals in this world is horrible. At least it has started sending a message to people that puppy mills are not an environment for any animals.
There are many steps to take to stop abusing, torturing and killing our animals. This little girl knows that puppy mills are a bad place for animals. Get the word out and teach people about the problem instead of being ignorant and unknowledgeable. Take a step forward instead of doing nothing.
All five mine, all five micro chipped, all five spayed and neutered, all five have Pet Insurance and none of them came from a pet store, nor puppy mill, nor breeder. They came from shelters and 3 were actually rescued by myself from SC. The ASPCA and so many other organizations do their best to save and rescue animals. We have to help also and it should begin in our own towns. If you see an animal abused, mistreated, chained, call Police, Animal Control, ASPCA and report it. Even Foster groups will put names of abusers on their do not adopt list. I believe if we had laws for the shelters, preventing a dog from being adopted without being spayed or neutered this would help so much. It should not be left up to individuals whether they take and incentive to spay or neuter. Now each Township has a reduced rate for Licences for spayed and neutered laws. What if the rate was $50 for a non neutered or spayed animal instead of $20 for an altered pet. I believe those incentives would help. Each town should adopt their own ordinances in helping control animal population. Now, I see none. People are allowed to breed out of their own homes and on top of that lawn signs are put out for the sale of these exploited animals. None of those people care who buys them nor do they care about the animals they are breeding. These people are just as much at fault as pet stores and puppy mills. They all have one thing in common; to make a buck. What if these people found it was just as easy to earn money, by training, grooming, pet sitting, selling doggie raincoats, toys, clothes etc for these animals. Maybe if they found out helping dogs can be profitable too, they would try being human themselves. I would never buy a dog from a breeder, pet store, or individual period! I have been adopting for over 40 years. I have rescued dogs, cats, horses and fostered also. These animals need people to help save them, not exploit them. If you know of someone trying to sell a litter of puppies, and they ask if you know anyone. Tell them yes, surrender them to the ASPCA and let them find homes and let that organization keep the adoption fee. There is no excuse for letting your dog have a litter of puppies, just to see what they look like or just to let the dog have one litter. I have heard that over and over again. It is just stupidity! GET your dog Neutered/Spayed. Or don't get a dog at all. We need more responsible Pet Owners. Not more more dogs in shelters.
Thank you!
I know she was coached, but it was a wonderful video. Out of the mouths of babes comes the truth. I bought a puppy from a pet store once. It was before I realized that the puppies came from puppy mills.I honestly believe that I saved my dog. The pet store had zero knowledgeable people. Once I found out. I made it a point to educate myself. I then would go in that store and listen as they blatantly lied to people about how to care for the pups, and frequently gave downright dangerous advice. I would talk to the perspective puppy buyer and give them the perfect advice: ask a veterinarian. I noticed the pups were looking bad and when I would bring it to their attention they would say that the vet was just in and all the puppies are fine. I then contacted the MSPCA and they went in and looked around and got law enforcement involved and that got the pet store put out of business.
This is absolutely priceless-both the dog and Molly. The message delivered is short, to the point, and definitely full of emotion. I agree with this fully. Not only is it bringing too many puppies into the marketplace, puppies that can't be placed, but also the puppies live in terrible conditions. Some of them are in terrible shape by the time they get to shelters.
Not to mention the deplorable treatment that the mothers of these puppies receive. And they never know kindness or love. Or comfort.
15 years ago I saw a puppy mill first hand. I was so shocked! I didn't know that places like that existed. Every dog was in a wire cage with wire bottoms, all pregnant or nursing. I was horrified! Since I know what the mills are like, I can't buy anything in a pet store that sells puppies. Many stores say they don't sell puppy mill dogs, but unless they have rescues for adoption, they are selling puppy mill dogs. No respectable breeder would sell his puppies from a pet store.
Thank you so much for what you did! God bless you!

I'd like a sat nav for the car but don't want to have to pay subscriptions every 6 or 12 months to get updates on speed/safety cameras.
Anybody know whether there is a brand name out there that fulfills this criteria?
Thank you in advance

Tom Tom 1 is very good and I have never had a problem, I think problems raise their head when the shortest route is programmed instaed of the quickest. Pocketgpsworld speed camera database is £19 a year and if you are first to report a new camera you get it free for life.

A few years ago updates for Traffic cameras were offered free by Pocket GPS world, but no longer.
However, it seems generally considered that their camera database is the best.

Hi everyone
Hope you can help by recommending the most reasonable or the most effective combination of hardware and software of my intentions.
I am inthe process of buying a 12.1" laptop with bluetooth etc. and wish to use it for Road Navigating especially in Western Europe. My question therefore is this:- Which in your opinion is the most suitable GPS Receiver and "maps" / programme I should consider.
Many thanks in advance

You have a choice of two subscriptions for your Nuvi speed camera data base.
The Garmin Cyclops system has the advantage that its warnings are directional. In other words - you are only warned of a camera if it is monitoring your side of the road. However - I no longer use this system because I find it slow to update with new cameras and it is more expensive than the alternative.
The Pocket GPS World data base costs £19 per year. It seems to be the most up to date system you can buy and has an excellent users forum on their website. The only disadvantage compared with the Garmin system - is that camera warnings are not directional. You are warned of all cameras you are about to pass - whether or not they are pointing your way. This is not the fault of the PGPS system, but a limit imposed by Garmin software which their own system is not limited by.

Thanks for all the help folks.
Occasionally the Nuvi takes us past the destination (ie takes us within 20 yards and past the most direct legal route), right round the town and up a pedestrianised street(but open to disabled and delivery vehicles) to get to our destination. Well, at least it's not a ford in flood.
I'm a little astounded there's no USB data cable included, since POI and safety camera databases are available for it online. Anyhow . . .
Thanks again

AlanHo: quite a few speed cameras in my area are bi-directional; that is, being in the centre of the road, they can be, (and are), turned to face the opposite way.
Covergirl: No USB cable. How mean can they get?; the cost of a USB cable to them must be extremely small.

A similar case is found with printers, when more often than not a cable is not included.

you are not limited to tomtom or othe original manufactures updates you could look at pocketgps web site they do there own data base for several makes of sat nav. i have a tom 520 and that has the speed cameras on it and believe me its good but its the mobiles that get you.

InDesign CS5: Print Production Guidelines goes over the common issues that arise when preparing InDesign documents for printing and shows how to tweak PDF and document settings to ensure the perfect print. The course shows how to avoid mistakes by preparing documents correctly upfront, covering document construction, layout, ink management settings, and output options. Prepress processes in Acrobat are also covered, including accurate soft proofing and packaging in the PDF/X formats. Exercise files accompany the course.
We're going to go ahead and take a look at when you would use rich black and how you create a rich black swatch. Rich black is needed when you have a large black coverage, because if you used 100% black ink when you print this job on a printing press, the black ink rollers couldn't keep up and you would get more of a gray, muddy look than a nice vibrant, rich black. So we're going to go ahead and look at our Separations Preview panel, and when we turn off our black plate, we can see that our entire cover goes away, which is a good indication this particular cover is currently 100% black.
I'm going to go and create a new swatch. Open up my Swatches panel, and I'm going to deselect Name with Color Value and type in Rich Black. Next, I'm going to enter 60% Cyan, 40% Magenta, 20% Yellow, and 100% Black. When I click OK, it adds it to my Swatches panel. Next, I'm going to select my cover and I'm going to apply to the fill this rich black. When I close my Swatches panel and I hover over my cover, I can see it's now made up of 60% Cyan, 40% Magenta, 20% Yellow, and 100% Black.
These four percentages give you a nice vibrant, rich black, and now I can be ensured that I will get a nice rich black cover. One thing to keep in mind though, is if you're not printing a four-color job, this will added expense. If it's only intended to be a two-color job or even a one-color job, some people just simply add one of the process inks behind the black. So you want to make sure you talk to your printer and see how this is going to be printed.

It started as a joke. With a name like Spoof Fest, it had to.
In 1994, the late local DJ Brian Emmett rounded up some local musicians for an April Fools' gig at the since-shuttered club the Globe, to cover bands like Led Zeppelin and the Doors, and make fun of them, too.
Flash-forward to 2013, and Spoof Fest is still going strong. The annual shindig will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at its biggest venue yet, Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St., in honor of its 20th iteration. It also will be the first time spoofers will be allowed to resurrect old sets; Saturday's show will see tongue-in-cheek takes on Blondie, Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, the Police, U2, AC/DC, Queen and Iron Maiden.
"It's sort of like Christmas," said Eric Benet's touring manager Brian Miller, who along with local musician Michael "Tinker" Tierney, has played every Spoof Fest. (Miller will be sporting a schoolboy uniform to play AC/DC's Angus Young.)
"A lot of people who aren't in bands anymore kept this as their one big show . . . so you get to see a bunch of musicians you never see at all," Miller said.
An assortment of music's most famous names - except for easy targets like the Beatles, Elvis and Kiss, which have been banned from mockery - have been skewered over the years.
"Someone did Van Halen, and David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen got into a fist fight," Miller recalled. "I was Meat Loaf and had a heart attack on stage. . . . Five guys dressed in drag as the Go-Go's. . . . And one time I was Hank Williams Jr. I brought hay bales on stage and drank almost a whole bottle of Jack Daniel's. That one didn't end up so well."
But Spoof Fest isn't all just fun and games.
"Say you're in an alternative-rock band. You'll end up playing in a country-ish band or a disco band," Tierney said. "It forces you out of your element, makes you stretch your boundaries and makes you a better musician in some ways."
In one case, it gave birth to an actual band. In 2001, Tierney, along with guitarist Mike Brandenburg, distributed an EP at Spoof Fest of Beatles songs they performed in the style of Metallica. It ended up in the hands of Marquette professor Dave Dixon, who posted the songs online. After they found a following, Tierney's Beatallica was born. International gigs, a meeting with Metallica and full-length albums followed. "Abbey Load" - featuring Tierney doing his best James Hetfield on "Come Together," "Help!" and others - will be out April 16 on Oglio Records.
"Without Spoof Fest, Beatallica would not have existed," Tierney said.
• Former BoDeans singer-guitarist Sam Llanas will appear on "The "Morning Blend" at 9 a.m. Friday on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) to discuss his latest project. Llanas wrote the music for "A Day for Grace," an autobiographical stage drama written and performed by actor Doug Vincent. Friday marks the launch of an indiegogo.com campaign to take the show on the road.

Within 24 hours of the International Women's Day, on which there was much talk of freedom of choice, women's empowerment, safety and security, a 20-year-old woman was hacked with an axe by her brother in a shocking incident of honour killing in a village in Bahraich district of eastern UP on Saturday. Her only fault was that she had chosen to marry a man much older to her, and had declared her intentions to her entire family and relatives.
The girl's brother then walked into the local 'thana' with her severed head and surrendered before the police telling them the entire story.
The events unfolded in Tajpur Gubraha village under the Ranipur police station where a meeting of family and close relatives was being held in the house of one Jhabbar regarding the marriage of his daughter Mahroon. She, however, revolted against the family and declared that she would marry a close family friend from Barabanki district despite the fact that he was 55 years old.
The entire family objected to her decision and an argument broke out. In the heat of the moment, Mahroon's brother Nanke (24) picked up an axe and chopped off her head.
Nanke then went to the Ranipur police station with the severed head and surrendered.
Bahraich Superintendent of Police Vinay Kumar Yadav, however, said this was not a case of honour killing but the result of a family dispute over the matter of Mahroon's marriage.
The village pradhan Shiv Kumar Vishwakarma told DNA that the entire village knew about Mahroon's involvement with the middle-aged man from Barabanki. He said the man was quite well off, and had even visited the village the day before the incident to ask for Mahroon's hand in marriage. He left after the family turned down his offer.
The incident of honour killing in east Uttar Pradesh, a senior police official here said, was a rarity as such cases were always reported from western UP where the 'khap panchayats' or "kangaroo courts" passed decrees for the killing of innocent men and women only because they had eloped or consummated a love marriage against the wishes of the family.
In January this year, the Meerut police arrested a father for killing his daughter. The girl Preeti (22) was found dead under mysterious circumstances. She was found with her face immersed in a bath tub, and her father Bhim Singh, an engineer with ONGC, had told the police that she had died due to drowning. However, Preeti's elder sister Neha told the police that her father had killed Preeti as he was against her affair with a boy named Saqib.

8800 GT problem
1 Attachment(s)
After installing Ubuntu 8.04 beta I start install drivers throw
System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers,
but after restart I get what you see in attached file bug1.JPG
I thought it was bad driver and download from nvidia.com new driver (with apt-get build-essential):
And again the same situation.
In /var/log/xotg.conf I found one error:
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
Please help!
Re: 8800 GT problem
Please read the sticky threads on how to report problems.
With a nvidia bug report (or at least a Xorg log file)
we could help you solving this problem.
Probably you just have mixed up drivers and libraries now,
because you should _not_ install drivers by hand on ubuntu.
Remove the manually installed and the ubuntu driver,
read the sticky thread on how to install recent drivers
on recent distributions, follow the instructions, try again
and if it still doesn't work: provide a bug report file.
Re: 8800 GT problem
1 Attachment(s)
Sorry that I didn't attach log file before.
Here they are.
I write 'nvidia' in xorg.conf, restart computer and while was these screen I made nvidia-bug-report.log and there are two attached xorg.log old (while these error) and new (as I understand with vesa driver).
Please help, I'll give all information you need.
Re: 8800 GT problem
Ough, I tried to install nvidia drivers by hand after I get errors like on screenshot in first message.
Re: 8800 GT problem
1) Use the driver manager to install the NV binary driver....preferred if possible.
2) Read the sticky already pointed out to you on how to install it by hand. This removes or disables the driver manager.
Re: 8800 GT problem
Guys please don't beat me, but power cable was unpluged:)
All is working fine now:)
The only one dilema is what drivers are better to use? Drivers I installed by hand or driver goes with Ubuntu?
Re: 8800 GT problem
I recommend using the ones provided by the distribution, no matter what distribution it is.
If you have good reasons for upgrading to newer drivers
(e.g. not supported hardware):
feel free to do so, but please read the instruction thread
on how to install drivers manually.
I also recommend keeping the installer for easy removing
of installed-by-hand-drivers, as your distribution package
management is not aware of these drivers and wont remove them.
(but might install / update / overwrite them with conflicting
In Ubuntu you can use envy as well for getting recent drivers,
but please read the instructions on the envy page
on how to remove them _before_ any distro upgrade.

I've been taking 350mg of Soma for a spinal surgery I had, but it seems to give me quite severe restless leg syndrome. has anyone else had this problem? And why does this happen, I thought it was a muscle relaxer?

Soma can definitely cause restlessness and agitation if we take too much or if we start becoming dependent. Same thing happened to me using Soma. I had to stop taking it. Too much can be a different number for each of us, we all are different. How often do you take Soma? How much do you take at once? Soma caused some severe problems for me when I stopped taking it the same time as opiates. I had to deal with double restless legs between the soma w/d and opiate w/d. If your RLS is bad enough you may require a sedative. Again the dr would be able to help, I would always see the dr before changing my meds. Good luck.
Robert_325, I am taking Soma for RLS, yet I am afraid to take it! Now I see, by your post, that it CAUSES RLS!! Wow, I had no idea, my doctor must be an imbecile! What is a good med/treatment for RLS? What are you taking for it? Thank you, sweetlemon
I take Requip for RLS. Mine is so bad I have to take 2mg in morning nad 2mg at night
14 Feb 2011
To answer this one must not take this drug and sleep beside the person who does. First the drug taken in excess causes the exact systom its made to treat.I be acountryboy from the south, but Im not for pills to cure much as it will only cloud systoms for the moment..that said, my girlfriend torture herself with soma and doesnt remmber or relize it. I( vedo tape her to allow and decide for herself the worth of the same.I alswo an addictive natual to this pill. bad news on the mfg but great for profit. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. trashem
I have been taking soma for about three years and I didn't have any problems until recently. What I do is rub icy hot or ben gay on my upper thighs bc that is where I am having problems. It seems to help but I also have mirapex which seems to help. If I take my soma with my mirapex I have no problems.
I have tried every drug prescribed for RLS and am currently on Mirapex. I have also been taking Soma 350 Mg along with all the other RLS medications for the last 4 years. . I have not had one single break through attack while taking the Mirapex with the Soma, I can finally sleep through the night without doing my "PePe the Mule imitation", as my husband likes to call it, waking him up during the night. These two drugs combined are wonderful! The only thing I do recommend is that you take the Soma and RLS medicine right at bedtime so you don't become ill.

Join Schoolgirls HD
Update Notes
Updated on: 12/12/2014
Since we last visited SchoolgirlsHD...
- The site has only grown by five videos, with the last one being over a month ago.
These Asian babes look like the picture of innocence in their pleated skirts and crisp, white blouses and ties, but they don't really behave like timid, naive schoolgirls. In fact, the material on Schoolgirls HD documents them masturbating with toys, sucking dick and getting their tight holes licked and fucked by one or more guys.
Some of the hotties on SchoolgirlsHD are wearing the traditional uniform, but others are in what looks to be a gym uniform and I saw one chick in a plain bathing suit (perhaps she was the school's swimming champ). Regardless of what outfit they sport, they're soon cumming hard. There are 138 videos and I'd say about 128 photo sets, because some vids only come with vid caps.
You can count on HD footage across the board. You'll also get high-res images that you can save individually. If you want a true innocent-looking Asian beauty, watch Sana Anju fuck her hairy muff with a recorder. I've heard of calling a penis a skin flute, but she's actually using a wind instrument to stuff her vagina. I wonder if she can play a tune?
Navigating the site is simple, with the most popular videos on the homepage. You can browse by large preview images to find a scene that appeals to you. All the dudes who get lucky here are also of the Asian persuasion. You can add items to a favorites section as well as leave comments and ratings.
The photos don't have their own section, but they're easy to find once you click into a video. They're all high-res and progress nicely, giving you full-body shots of the Asian honey and some tight closeups of her privates being pleasured. If you like a particular performer, you can check out the model index and find stats and links to her material. You may also want to use the keyword tags that come with each scene to find something with a similar theme.
If for some reason you burn through this collection or need a change of pace, there are 13 bonus sites, including Ferame, Shiofuky and Hey MILF. The whole network focuses on Asian cuties, so if you're really into this niche, you'll appreciate them. Oh, I should mention that none of the genitalia is blurred out here, so you can see all those quivering pussies and deep penetrations without any pixelation.
In terms of updates, it has been a little over a month since the last addition and the collection hasn't grown that much since we last looked at the site. Thankfully, with high quality and raunchy Asian sex, I think Schoolgirls HD will satisfy your urge for uniformed Asian chicks getting off.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

My best friend's wedding
More News from Charlene Castañeda
Last April 20, my dear friend, Thalassa Mary Adela Gatlin Elizalde, daughter of Fred J. Elizalde and the late Joan Gatlin, decided to make it official. She exchanged vows with Robert Raymond del Rosario in a charming ceremony at San Sebastian Church in Manila.
The church was a sea of lavender and white flowers that late Friday afternoon.
Sasha, as she is known to friends and family, met Ray (Raymond) in middle school at the International School of Manila. Theirs was a romantic relationship that did not blossom until later. The two were good friends who reconnected years after high school while Ray was enrolled in university in California and Sasha remained in the Philippines. Theirs was a long-distance affair.
Having known the bride for 20 years and having been there to share almost every milestone in her life, I was still surprised when Sasha asked me to be her maid of honor, although truth be told, we had broached the idea to each other since we were 10.
Today, 15 years later, fast-forward to the wedding ceremony, my mind flashed back to the time we were playing with Barbies, or staying up past our bedtime drinking root-beer floats, or prank-calling and dialing numbers of our crushes.
We are far removed from those days now (sort of), and there I was relishing the moment—my best friend's wedding.
There she was, gliding on the aisle in an elegant Rajo Laurel gown, with hints of lace around her shoulders, reminiscent of a Grace Kelly gown. I fought to hold back the tears (my mascara was not tear-proof).
The man she had chosen to be her life partner stood before the altar, with his best man and brother, Paul del Rosario.
A most touching moment was when the bride's father, Fred J. Elizalde, with Sasha's grandmother, Adela Salas Gatlin, gave the bride away. The sight left the 300 or so guests teary-eyed.
The principal sponsors were: Anita de Jesus and Jun Lim; Patricia Ottiger and Boy Ignacio; Toni Parsons and Rante Aguila; Pinky Zeller and Momoy Coronel; Bella Laurel and Francis Laurel; Amelita Ramos and Justice Bienvenido Reyes; Nikki Coseteng and Justice Andres Reyes; Sen. Miriam Santiago and Sen. Ralph Recto; Sen. Loren Legarda and Sen. Manny Villar; and William M. Esposo.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds rode away in the Elizaldes' classic 1954 Silver Dawn Rolls Royce. It is said that this was the same car the Beatles rode during their brief visit here in the '60s.
At the reception at The Natural History Museum were 500 guests. Gia Macuja Atchinson, the younger sister of Sasha's stepmom, the great ballerina Lisa Macuja Elizalde, sang a most romantic "Moon River." Gia's husband, Robert Atchison, accompanied her on the violin. Lisa and her mother Susan Macuja were tearing up as they listened to Gia.
For the couple's first dance, the groom's father, Bobby del Rosario, led his band, "A Special Something."
The reception bore a familiar and intimate touch, with the closest friends of the couple playing emcees.
Margarita Fores prepared the five-course meal. The wedding cake was a feast for the eye, designed by Marta's Cakes. The five-tier chocolate cake showed Ray's affinity to polo horses. The couple's two Australian Shepherds also had their likeness atop the cake.
What I loved most were the speeches, from the poignant one of stepmother Lisa to those of the groom's parents, Bobby and Moleen del Rosario, to that of the bride's cousin Santi Elizalde, and brother Juan Elizalde—the toasts were incredibly touching and funny.
It was an evening to remember and cherish; it was a beginning for Sasha and Ray. A quote I meant to share with them that evening, but failed, goes: "A successful marriage is basically an endless cycle of wrongs committed, apologies offered, and forgiveness granted… all leavened by the occasional orgasm."—Dan Savage
And no, I did not catch the bouquet.

They tell of the beast that chews its cud so that we may know the difference between the shell steak and the tenderloin, the hanger steak and the skirt. And that we may know the proper ways to beget steak tartare, beef jerky and carbonade of beef in Belgian beer. Lo, the cloven-hoofed animal shall be known by its pancetta and prosciutto. It will lieth down in an Alsatian pork-and-potato casserole and riseth up in Kansas City-style baby back ribs.

And its sister, the guinea hen, shall ramble in rosemary and white wine when it is braised. And so it is also with the veal and with the lamb, the hare and the quail.

The thing is if I were carrying him on my hip with my arms they wouldn't say anything about how he's too big to be carried. I see people carrying their babies like that at 0, 1, 2, 3 and I think "Wow! You're really doing that the hard way." However, I would never make that comment to them. That would be rude. I guess you can't understand how easy it really is until you do it.

ESCONDIDO: New measures aim to solve eye-gnat problem
An organic farm blamed for south Escondido's eye-gnat problem announced several new efforts Tuesday that aim to fight the pests, including setting 1,500 gnat traps, installing 10,000 feet of silt fencing around the farm and eliminating a tomato-growing technique that's been connected with gnat breeding.
Through a new partnership between the farm and the city of Escondido, 100 new traps will be placed in Kit Carson Park and 100 on The Vineyard golf course. Of the remaining 1,300 traps, about 1,200 have been placed on the farm and roughly 100 will be placed on residential properties nearby.
Bill Brammer, owner of the farm, BeWise Ranch in San Pasqual Valley, characterized the measures Tuesday as "aggressive."
Brammer also said they were capable of alleviating the gnat problem well enough that county officials might abandon a proposed ordinance that could require the farm to begin spraying pesticides.
"We take the eye-gnat issue very seriously and are committed to working cooperatively with our neighbors and the scientific community to find solutions," he said.
But Larry Michel, who has emerged as a leader among thousands of south Escondido residents affected by the flying pests, said Tuesday he was skeptical. Michel said the farm was overly optimistic about the measures, and that they are part of an aggressive public relations campaign that aims to deflect blame from the farm.
Michel said placing traps outside the farm was "an attempt to make people think eye gnats are generated in larger numbers at places other than the farm."
But he said county scientists have determined that the farm is the breeding ground for virtually all of the south Escondido gnats, and that the scientists have repeatedly said the solution is to hit hard at the source.
"They're overemphasizing the effectiveness of traps because they want to look like they're doing something," said Michel, suggesting that the measures were carefully timed to precede a county Board of Supervisors hearing on the gnats scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Michel also said the 3-foot-tall silt fence would be too low to prevent most gnats from leaving the farm, which is just south of Escondido. And he said the $50,000 to $75,000 that Brammer is spending on the new measures was a fraction of what some homeowners have lost in property values because of the gnats.
Residents have expressed frustration that the county backed away from the proposed ordinance last month to study the potential environmental effects of the new law. They've been suffering with the gnats for six years and say they want relief as soon as possible.
But a spokesman for the farm, Chris Wahl, said Tuesday that the new measures would help provide relief.
He said aggressive and coordinated trapping had never been tried before. The traps are 2-liter plastic bottles with egg solution inside.
