RM350,000 smuggled fags seized
Customs enforcement personnel seized contraband cigarettes worth more than RM350,000 in market value after foiling the tactic of a syndicate here that sent the items to Kuala Lumpur by air (pic).
"The cigarettes were about to be sent to the national capital by mail when our men, assisted by the police, seized them," said Sabah Customs Director, Datuk Md Yusop Mansor, after officiating a "Loyalty Gathering" at Wisma Kastam, off Mile 7, Jalan Utara here, Monday.
No arrest was made in the operation on March 1.
He said a substantial amount of contraband cigarettes were also seized from separate operations at the new central market, Gum-Gum market and a plantation in Paitan this month.
The two commodities seized in the first three months were mainly cigarettes and alcohol while 96 cases with a total value of RM89,885.20 contraband cigarettes were seized over the last three months, a decline compared to last year's RM207,561.80.
Yusop said the preventive unit had also seized some RM25,178.25 worth of alcohol in the first three months this year. He said 77 people had been called for questioning over the last three months while 56 for the same period last year.
Some RM94,219.20 worth of contraband cigarettes seized were destroyed by the department at a sawmill in Batu Sapi on Mar 3, said Yusop, who had earlier presented certificates to officers who had served over 15 years at the event.

DAP alleges 2nd-hand Sandakan generator sets
Leaders of Sabah DAP led by its chief, Dr Hiew King Cheu, claim to have made a shocking discovery when they visited the mobile generator sets at the BDC sub-station here.
"It turned out that the 15 generator sets, which are supposedly new, are a whole bunch of used units," said Hiew who is also Kota Kinabalu MP, in a statement.
Hiew accompanied by DAP Batu Sapi Chairman George Hiew Vun Zin and members inspected the generator sets and confirmed that they were second-hand units.
The 15 units were to produce 20MW for the Sandakan power consumers but he said it was sad to see on site that the units were "struggling" to produce power for consumers.
He said the 15 units were of a combination of some 1.74MW units to smaller units of 0.75 MW per unit capacity, which is supposed to produce a total of 20MW power but due to the limitation and efficiency drop of the old units, the power produced is much lower.
During the visit there were two units which had broken down and some four other units could face serious breakdowns soon, he said, adding the output was down to only 17.15MW.
Hiew, who is an engineer, noted the conditions of the mobile generator sets to be critical, especially running 24 hours continuously without rest.
"The mobile units are not built and designed to run for such long hours without stop, especially in such hot weather and dusty conditions," he said, adding that these were not new sets and from observation some of these units are showing signs of losing power due to wear and tear.
"The tendency of breakdown can come anytime, and blackouts in Sandakan will happen again," he said.
On Saturday, Kalabakan MP Datuk Ghapur Salleh called for an investigation into whether two of the generator sets commissioned by the SESB for Tawau consumers were second hand ones from Langkawi.
Calling on SESB to stop treating Sabahans as second-class citizens, Ghapur said it contradicted the assurance given by Tenaga Nasional Berhad Chairman Tan Sri Leo Moggie last year that the State's power supply problem would be addressed.
He said he would be raising this matter in the coming Parliament session.

Flying fox -- Major Patricia Yapp
WHILE most kids harboured straightforward ambitions of being a teacher, accountant or lawyer, Patricia Yapp had her head in the clouds.
"Even as a teenager, I was more interested in flying than becoming a lawyer. At the age of 16, I was inspired by my elder brother who was then a Malaysia Airlines cadet pilot in Scotland. When I expressed my interest in flying at that time, my father wasn't really agreeable as there weren't any female pilots in the industry then. So, I kept the subject closed temporarily," says Major Yapp, who is today hailed as Asia's first female fighter pilot to fly the MiG-29 with the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).
"Then in 1997, when I was studying law at Inti college in Kuala Lumpur, an aunt in Sandakan sent me a newspaper advertisement on RMAF's opening for cadets. I enrolled myself quietly and got through various tests. At first, my father, who has a conservative attitude, disallowed me from participating.
"But after reasoning with him and with my mum's highly persuasive powers, he finally gave in. Since then, I have never looked back," adds Yapp, who is from Sandakan.
The 34-year-old first piloted an Aerotiga MD-3 aircraft and later, clocked her flying hours in the Swiss turboprop aircraft PC-7 and the Italian Aermacchi MB339A.
The MiG-29 can hit a speed of Mach 2.3 (2,440kph), and is able to speedily intercept intruders in the airspace and destroy targets swiftly. The aircraft is capable of doing rolls, loops, verticals and flying at low levels.
Obviously, it takes skill and verve to fly such an aircraft, and Yapp can give it as good as the next guy. Although it's often thought of as a male-dominated career, everyone is given the same treatment regardless of gender so there is no sexual discrimination, she says.
"Everyone goes through the same training, exams, wages and has the same promotion opportunity. I don't think it was any harder for me to be where I am today just because I am a woman. It's a tough job, being a fighter pilot. But that shouldn't limit the individual unless you impose limitations yourself," Yapp adds.
Flying an aircraft not only requires physical strength but also a high mental state of mind and sound knowledge, especially when you are handling a sophisticated aircraft system. As such, gender doesn't matter, and a patient and cool character might prove more useful up in the air, Yapp feels.
"Team work is key to success."
Some of the toughest challenges in Yapp's career involved emergencies in the air.
One of the toughest times arose when she was flying a single jet aircraft (Aermacchi MB339A) and the engine encountered problems and "quit" on her.
"I made a 'Mayday' call and was on the verge of ejecting myself out of the aircraft before I succeeded in relighting the engine in the air after the third attempt," she explains. That was how she acquired the "handle" (call-sign) Foxy. Initially, she was given the name Mulan but after her mid-air adventure (in which she spontaneously blurted, "F***ing Oxygen!" and this was caught on radio), the name F-oxy stuck with her.
Besides being spurred on by her elder brother Ignatius who introduced her to the world of flying, her other sources of inspiration come from past instructors who imparted their knowledge to her in teaching her how to fly, and Lieutenant Colonel Emilia Kamaruddin (RMAF), the country's first female fighter pilot, whom she calls "her idol". (Emilia is now the commanding officer for the Electronic Warfare Centre in Kuala Lumpur).
When she is not airborne, Yapp keeps herself occupied by reading up on the latest information on air defence-related matters and mentally preparing herself for future flights. She is also the safety officer in the squadron overseeing the safety aspect for both on ground and flying matters.
"I've experienced some difficult periods when close friends were lost in aircraft accidents. No words can express those feelings," she says.
Yapp also enjoys the occasional sparring, on the court that is, playing badminton after hours on the air force grounds with her squadron mates, or going to the gym to keep herself fit. She's not above some good-natured ribbing from the guys.
Yapp, who is also the first air display pilot in Malaysia, is of the opinion that a fighter pilot must be able to make split-second decisions.
"Determination, devotion and most of all discipline count as important traits."
She advises other women who might want to follow in her stead to never give up "your own dream. Strive for it even though others tell you it is impossible and you are not able to pursue it. If I have a daughter, I will encourage her to be an astronaut one day!"
Yapp hopes to impart her knowledge, experience and skills at the operational squadron to junior pilots.
"We are but soldiers who have to follow orders. If, given a choice, I hope to become a Qualified Flying Instructor at the RMAF Flying School in the near future so that I can train the younger pilots in the Basic Flying school. I also hope to command a fighter squadron and lead in an air display one day," she concludes.

Raymond Tan Wants Sandakan Municipal Council To Increase NGO Reps
Sabah's Minister of Infrastructure Development, Datuk Raymond Tan Shu Kiah wants the Sandakan Municipal Council (MPS) to increase the quota for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) to ensure their effective role in serving the people.
Raymond Tan said currently only three NGO representatives are elected to the council while the rest are made up of representatives from political parties.
He added that these NGOs were professionals who have expertise in their respective fields.
"Their experience and expertise can be used to assist the MPS in improving their service to the people," he told reporters after handing out offer letters to 14 families involved in the Housing Project for the Poor in Gum-Gum here Friday.
There were being relocated to the housing project since their houses in Kampung Sim-Sim Tengah was involved in the building of a jetty for the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
Tan who suggested at least seven NGO representatives to be elected to the MPS, said the appointment of three NGO representatives for the 2010-2011 term was not enough.
He said under the Gerakan party quota, seven names of NGOs was put forward but only three were appointed to the council - Sandakan Grocers Association, Sabah Chinese Women's Association and Sandakan's Malaysian Youth Movement.
He urged MPS to be transparent in the appointment of councilors and only appoint them based on their merit and contributions and not just to fill the quota.

Toe the line, Liew tells new S'kan councillors
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk V K Liew, reminded the new councillors to fully cooperate with the Municipal Council (SMC) leadership in order to provide the best service to the ratepayers here.
According to him, the move was one of the efforts to ensure the function and role of the Municipal Council as the local authority, particularly in maintaining cleanliness and beautification of the municipality, could be achieved smoothly.
Speaking when witnessing the swearing-in of the 25 councillors for the 2010-2011 term at the Community Centre here, Wednesday, Liew who is Sandakan MP also called on SMC to improve their service quality when receiving complaints.
Meanwhile, SMC President James Wong urged the people in the district to cooperate with the Council to maintain Sandakan's achievement as the cleanness town in Sabah.
He said the award given by the Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry last year was a challenge for SMC and the local community to defend the title.
The Anti-Litter campaign that was launched in January this year had also started to show positive results, particularly in the central business district here, he said.
Efforts would also be doubled up to create more awareness among motorists and stop the attitude of throwing rubbish out from the vehicles.

Memorial defaced, vandals hit ahead of serice
Strathdale Park's Sandakan Memorial has been vandalised just days before a major memorial service.
Bendigo RSL member Alan Holmes said that when he arrived to polish the memorial earlier this week he discovered it was covered in graffiti.
"I rang the council and straight away they came out and we cleaned it up," he said.
"We hold a memorial here every year, and it's on Sunday."
Tomorrow a service will be held at 11am at the memorial to remember the almost 500 Australians, including six from Bendigo, who lost their lives in Borneo's Sandakan and Ranau Japanese prisoner of war camps and two death marches between 1942 and 1945.
Only six Australians survived the POW camps and death walks, including Bill Young, who will be guest speaker at the memorial.
"He was 15 when he went to war and 16 in the camp," Mr Holmes said.
"He was put in cages and tortured.
"I want the people who did this graffiti to come along on Sunday and listen to what he had to endure."
The Sandakan Memorial lists the names of 378 Victorians, 94 South Australians, 21 Tasmanians and three Z Force prisoners.
Z Force was a joint Allied special forces unit that operated behind Japanese lines.
Mr Holmes said many attending the service had fathers or uncles who were killed in the camps or on the death marches.
"It's amazing the number of people who come," he said.
"It's because they're all buried over there in unknown graves because the Japanese just shot them all and left them in the jungle."
The memorial will be held in the Strathdale Park hall if it is raining.

Explosion kills 2 on ship
Two crewmen of a locally-registered vessel, MT Hercules, were killed in an explosion while carrying out welding work on the ship's fuel tank on Tuesday night.
The dead were identified as Sylvester Keterim, 24, of Tamparuli, Sabah, and Shezi Chang Shiah Joo, 22, of Sandakan, Sabah.
Both were believed to have been killed on the spot. Southern region Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) chief First Admiral Che Hassan Jusoh said the agency's rescue sub-centre in Johor Baru was alerted to the incident at 9.05pm. A section of the 322m ship, which anchored about three nautical miles south off Pulau Kukup, Pontian, caught fire after the explosion. The ship, registered at Port Klang, anchored in Kukup waters to undergo maintenance work. Che Hassan said rescuers, assisted by firefighters, Marine Operations Force and Marine Department personnel, were mobilised following the distress call. At the time of the incident, 24 crewmen and 20 local and foreign contract workers were onboard. The rescue team arrived at the scene about 30 minutes later.
They managed to put out the fire with the help of crewmen. "The two workers were doing welding at one of the fuel tanks when it suddenly exploded," Che Hassan said yesterday. The bodies of the victims were brought to the Kukup jetty about 10.15pm before they were sent to the Pontian Hospital for post-mortem. "We have yet to ascertain the cause of the explosion and fire.
The remaining crewmen are safe.

Tsunami alert passes with no incidents
A six-hour tsunami alert for Sabah's east coast passed without any incident yesterday. The alert was subsequently lifted as fishermen headed out to sea and tourists dived at renowned underwater sites off Pulau Sipadan.
Minister in the Chief Minister's Office Datuk Nasir Sakaran said there was nothing unusual at his home district of Semporna yesterday though the authorities advised islanders commuting in small boats to the mainland to take precautionary measures.
"There was nothing exceptional other than fishermen noticing a large number of dolphins.
"Dolphins can usually be seen near the islands but the fishermen said this was one of those rare occasions that they noticed such a large number," he said after he returned from a weekend visit home.
Borneo Divers Sdn Bhd managing director Clement Lee said he had been in constant contact with his staff at the company's resort at Pulau Mabul near Semporna following the Malaysian Meteorological Services Depart-ment's tsunami alert.
"The staff told me that there was nothing particularly odd about the sea conditions. The tourists have gone diving as usual," he added.
In the wake of the alert, however, he said they placed the resort's boats on standby to ferry out guests and staff at a moment's notice.
When contacted, Sandakan district police Marine Operations Force commanding officer Asst Supt Muhammad Sallam Spawi said they had not received any report of unusual sea conditions along the state's east coast.
The meterological department had advised those along the east coast districts of Lahad Datu, Semporna, Tawau and Sandakan to be on the alert for high waves and rising sea waters following an 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Chile on Saturday.
The quake caused tsunami waves across the Pacific Ocean towards Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Tonga, Samoa Islands and New Zealand.
In Kuala Lumpur, the meteorological department withdrew its tsunami alert yesterday, reports Bernama.
"It is now ascertained that the Sabah waters are free from threat," the department said in a statement.

The son of Ghanan immigrants, Adrian Alabi can't remember life before soccer.
The Brookwood senior was born in Missouri and has lived nearly his entire life in Gwinnett County, but his roots in the sport were built from his parents' native country. Before he joined his first soccer league, he was introduced to the sport by family.
"In Ghana, there's no other sport but soccer," said Alabi, a Stanford signee. "When you're born, the first gift you get is a soccer ball, so both my parents played. My dad played in college in intramurals. From a young age, soccer was on the TV and I had a soccer ball that we'd kick around."
Kicking a soccer ball around the house wasn't the best idea, though. In its place, Alabi booted a more friendly rubber ball to burn off energy before he was old enough for elementary school.
Even that wasn't always safe, though.
"There's a funny story with that," Alabi said. "I had this rubber ball that I used to just blast it against the wall. It was a formal area, so we had one of those big mirrors. One day I was just blasting it and blasting it and I hit the mirror and it cracked. I had like $60 it was all the money I'd ever saved, and my parents took my money away from me."
The early lesson wasn't the only one he got from his parents. They taught him soccer, then quickly let him know where the sport stood in terms of importance.
Soccer is great, but school comes first.
It's always been that way for Alabi, who ranks second in Brookwood's senior class with a 4.0 GPA, who Broncos head coach Danny Klinect said is one of the top student-athletes he's ever coached.
"He's a leader on and off the field," Klinect said. "The kid's No. 2 in his class and going to Stanford. Those are two pretty big attributes. He's respectful, a model student, a model citizen. That's one of the reasons why he's a captain. He's going to lead by hard work and he's going to set that example."
Alabi hasn't seen a B on his report card since second grade. His current classload includes a Georgia Tech math class that he takes online with a small group of his Brookwood classmates, as well as orchestra, AP chemistry, AP language and AP government/economics.
"(My parents) definitely pushed me to have good grades throughout school," Alabi said. "They knew it would be important in the long run. My parents really put a lot of focus on that, because in soccer you can get injured or something. In education, you can take it where you want it to go."
A balance of both factored into his college decision.
He narrowed his favorites down to Stanford, Northwestern and Maryland, based on their strong soccer programs, but just as importantly, their top-20 ranked engineering programs -- Alabi aspires to be an electrical or biomedical engineer.
As a young child, he dreamed of another path.
"I knew pretty young I wanted to play in college," Alabi said. "I'd always aspired to go pro actually, but it's very difficult to do over here unless you go overseas and I'd have to forfeit my education. So I decided the best way is to play college soccer because you get your education and then if you make it, you can play MLS and then go overseas."
Before he makes an impact at Stanford, Alabi is focused on his final high school season.
An athletic and speedy forward, he has scored 26 goals the past two seasons. Those talents will be important this season to his team's high hopes -- Brookwood enters the season ranked fourth in Class AAAAA and is aiming to break a recent region-title drought.
"We're trying to find him that spot where we can best use his abilities," Klinect said. "We're going to tinker with a two-forward system and we're going to tinker with a three-forward system. Either way, he's a smart enough player to adapt."
Alabi is eager to enjoy the ultimate success as a senior. He hopes the Broncos can win that coveted region title, then make a run at a state championship.
He has memory after memory from high school soccer already, but adding a few more wouldn't hurt.
"Definitely the support and getting to represent Brookwood are the best things (about high school soccer)," Alabi said. "I have all my friends and classmates around. On game days, we dress up and everyone gets really into it. With the club, it's fast-paced and a good level and that kind of thing but you're kind of on your own, you just do it because you love it.
"But Brookwood, it's awesome to have such a supportive atmosphere. I really get a lot of support from my classmates and I like the energy around it."

Critical Essay by Leonard Forster
For most readers Günter Grass's work is so dominated by the Danzig trilogy that it is difficult to see what he wrote after it in the proper perspective. (p. 56)
The Danzig trilogy is an attempt on a grand scale to explore how things came to be the way they are now—an exploration of 'unbewältigte Vergangenheit.' This is a subject which is easy to treat in general terms and in so doing to allow it to escape into vagueness, leaving unexplained precisely those things which need explaining. Grass insists on the concrete, the detail, the apparently unimportant trifles which are the stuff of life for most of us and which gradually add up to something more impressive than mere abstract generalities…. Grass left Danzig when he was still a boy of...

Loved the look & feel of hostel, but was disappointed that there wasn't an area for people to relax & meet each other. My biggest complaint is that it was loud & I didn't sleep well. The halls echoed and people weren't considerate when coming back late at night. Perhaps it was just the people that were staying there at the time. "

STV Central produces news for its transmission region along with current affairs, politics and sports programmes (in both English and Gaelic) for Northern and Central Scotland, although some sports output is also broadcast in Border Television's Southern Scotland sub-region. STV Central's main news programme is Scotland Today, and the main sports show is Scotsport, one of the world's longest running sports television programmes. Along with STV North and ITV Border, STV Central is a rival to the publicly-funded national broadcaster, BBC Scotland.
In 2008, the United Kingdom plans to begin its 5-year programme to cease analogue television broadcasts as part of the switchover to Digital television, with STV Central ceasing analogue transmissions between October 2010 an March 2011. It is already transmitting digitally terrestrially from its land-based transmitters, via Sky (Astra) and Freesat (Astra).
In 1965 the chairman of the Independent Television Authority Charles Hill paid a visit to STV's Glasgow studios during which he observed an edition of the blunt daytime entertainment show One o'clock Gang. So appalled by it he immediately axed the show with the words "My God, how long have you been getting away with this?" .
Although the early days of the ITV network were a financial gamble the service soon became profitable, resulting in Thomson claiming that 'running a commercial television station is like having a licence to print money' .
However by 1969 the company was, like many within the ITV system, struggling with a recession, increased transmitter rental fees and taxation on income (rather than profits) as a result of the Pilkington Committee review into ITV. The situation hit STV harder than most and by 1970 was making significant losses.
The conversion of the Gateway Theatre at Leith Walk in Edinburgh into new colour studios also saw a drain on finances. This facility grew in importance in 1969 after a fire gutted Studio A (the Theatre Royal auditorium) which was one of the main studios and production suites at the Cowcaddens site, a fire in which two firemen died. The site was subsequently modified and extended with new colour facilities built, which became fully operational in 1973. The company cited necessary cost savings as its reason to give up the Gateway (which for a time had become the permanent studio home for 'High Road'), and the studio's were subsequently closed around the early 1990s.
By this time a change in taxation rules and a general increase in advertising spend saw STV's fortunes recover. In the following twenty years the company gained greater access to the national network, primarily through the soap opera Take the High Road and the long-running detective series Taggart. Recent contributions have included the quiz Wheel of Fortune and the adaptation of the Rebus crime books.
In late 1992 Scottish Television took over responsibility for a number of children's programmes made by independent producers for the outgoing ITV company TVS including the shows Art Attack and How 2.
In 2006 the company moved to new facilities at Pacific Quay. The Cowcaddens site was sold and leaving the original Theatre Royal building as one of Glasgow's premier arts venues, the 1960 and 1970 extension were demolished. The 1990 extension which was the (then) sister companies of the The Herald and Glasgow Evening Times newspapers still stands, but is no longer connected to STV having been sold off to the Newsquest publishing group.
Regional news and advertising has remained segmented with viewers in the East of the region receiving their own opt-out version of STV Central, including a dedicated news bulletin within Scotland Today on weekdays and separate local advertising. Former managing director of Scottish, Bobby Hain is now the managing director for both STV regions. Scottish TV's head of news, Gordon MacMillan, has now become STV's head of news across Scotland, following the departure of Craig Wilson from STV North (Grampian).

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 12, 7 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum (8,000) -- Greenville, North Carolina. Television: WITN. Home Record: UCF 9-3, ECU 8-1. Away Record: UCF 2-1, ECU 1-4. Neutral Record: UCF 0-0, ECU 0-0. Conference Record: UCF 1-0, ECU 0-1. Series Record: UCF leads, 13-5.
GAME NOTES: The East Carolina Pirates are set for their Conference USA home opener, as they welcome the UCF Knights to Minges Coliseum on Saturday night.
UCF is playing on the road for the first time since Dec. 14, having just wrapped up a 5-2 homestand. The Knights were in action Wednesday night, posting a 64-48 win over UAB. They'll now play two straight on the road before returning to UCF Arena on Jan. 23.
Each of East Carolina's last five victories has been followed up by a loss the very next game. However, the Pirates have played very well in Greenville with wins in eight of nine games this season. They enter tonight's tilt looking to rebound from Wednesday's 67-54 loss at Memphis.
The Knights swept the season series in 2011-12, including an 18-point win over ECU in Minges Coliseum. UCF leads the all-time series, 13-5.
UCF's victory over UAB earlier this week came by virtue of a relentless defensive effort, and a bit of luck. UAB, which had made a 3-pointer in 538 straight games dating back to 1996, missed all 23 of its attempts from beyond the arc. UCF held the Blazers to 26-percent shooting from the floor to overcome 21 turnovers and win easily. Calvin Newell led the way with 14 points, while Keith Clanton dominated the paint with 12 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks. Tristan Spurlock rounded out the Knights in double figures with 12 points. Four players are averaging double figures on the season, led by Clanton with 16.6 points and 9.9 rebounds per tilt. Isaiah Sykes provides a solid complement in the low post, averaging 15.0 points and 6.3 rebounds. The Knights do a good job of using their size to get easy buckets, as they lead C- USA and rank 14th nationally in field-goal percentage (.492).
ECU boasts its own solid big man in Maurice Kemp, a 52.4-percent shooter from the floor who averages 17.6 ppg and 8.5 rpg -- both team-highs. Miguel Paul is next in line with 11.9 ppg, while Robert Sampson (9.9 ppg) and Akeem Richmond (9.0 ppg) are just under double figures. Richmond, a 43-percent shooter from beyond the arc, tops the conference with 2.5 threes per game. However, ECU was held under 60 points for the first time this season against Memphis. The Pirates fell behind early, as they trailed by 27 late in the first half before reeling off 21 straight points to cut the deficit to six. Unfortunately, they were unable to sustain that momentum, and the Tigers eventually staved off the threat. Kemp and Shamarr Bowden scored 11 apiece in the loss, while Paul and Sampson each scored 10. For Paul, it was his second straight game in double figures.
The Pirates are very good at distributing the basketball, leading C-USA with 17.5 assists per game. They'll need to continue that style of play if they hope to knock off the much bigger Pirates.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: UCF 69, East Carolina 64

Selling Physical Products From Home Is On the Rise.
In The End, Your Fortune Will Still Be In Your List!
You want a business online AND you want it to make money!! In the last year, most of the top name trainers have seemed to realize that the fastest way to get their students making money online is to teach them to sell physical products on eBay, Amazon and similar sites. Buried in all the hoopla is something that many beginners miss. "At some point you will discover that YOU MUST BUILD YOUR LIST!" You will need a list of subscribers you can sell to over and over.
In this blog I am going to pass on useful information that will help you sell on Amazon and eBay and will help you sell using your own website. The final goal will always be to build a list, we just won't be talking about that all the time.
Robyn and I started where a LOT of people are today.
We were sick and tired of being sick and tired. I followed the normal pattern of "get a good education, get a good job, work hard and work hard and you'll get the gold watch and get to retire comfortably one day."
I got my "good education" – a doctorate in education and research and I certainly worked hard.
I wrote my first computer program in 1967 on a computer with tubes. I've been an educator, a researcher, senior manager, private consultant and software developer ever since then. I became an Internet Marketer. MLM's are no longer my primary focus, but I still love the compensation plans and will talk about them from time to time.
When we looked at where we wanted to be and where we were, the disparity was huge. We decided that enough was enough and everything changed. We are not where we want to be yet, but we have grown, we have changed and we are moving toward a lifestyle we only dreamed about before. I am using my 40 years experience with education and computer systems to help people just like YOU build online incomes. By joining with us, you automatically get to take advantage of over 10,000 hours and over $25,000 dollars researching and learning how to make money online.
I have found a community, a system and a mentor and I want to personally hold your hand so that you can start to benefit almost immediately.
My goal here is to help Internet Marketers transition from beginners to successful entrepreneurs. This is not "get rich quick," there is certainly work involved. The people I am helping are not afraid of hard work, they are not afraid of technology and they thrive on challenges. I use 30 plus years of systems analysis experience to help you build a system that is right for you.

Which Pitman Arm?
Q: I drag race a '65 Chevelle that still has the factory gearbox. I got one from the junkyard out of a '91 S-10 along with the pitman arm; the new gearbox bolts up just fine, but I cannot find a pitman arm that will work with the Chevelle's drag link. I can weld the two arms to make one fit the Chevelle, but how many people would trust a welded pitman arm? What do you recommend for my choices of pitman arms, or do I need to get away from the S-10 gearbox and do something totally different? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Jason Lynch
Via email
A: The S-10 is a great place to pick up a manual steering box for any of the Chevelles (A-bodies). We did the same thing when building our '80 Malibu, but the S-10 box we got out of the yard was full of water and the recirculating balls of the steering box were pitted and scored. As luck would have it, we purchased a brand-new '80 Malibu manual steering box (one of three left in the country) from our buddy Ken Casey. They are completely gone now. Ken said the original power pitman arm from your '65 Chevelle should connect right up to the S-10 box. The S-10 box should be the same spline count and size as the Saginaw 800-series power box that came original on your Chevelle.
Finally, please don't weld pitman arms. It's been done many times on conversions, and unless you are skilled in the art of preheat, proper weld process, correct welding rod, and cooling techniques, it could all go wrong. Losing your steering at speed is no fun. Bolt your Chevelle together and enjoy at the track.
Standing Or Seated
Q: I just received Summit's rotor and pad set for my '79 Camaro. One rotor has an "L" on it and the other has an "R." To play it safe I looked into your Jul. '09 issue and found a discrepancy. "Tomato Fire" (page 73) shows slots in one direction, and "Darkness" (page 80) shows slots facing the other way. Wouldn't the slots on "Tomato" actually trap the gases? Doesn't this affect stopping distance? I want those babies to work at the end of a quarter-mile!
Also, for once and for all, isn't right or left side determined when a person faces the front of the car? I've had to argue this a few times, especially when dealing with some "service" (muffler, door repair) outfits. Good magazine. Keep it up!
Ray Banks
Via email
A: All references to the identification of the side of the vehicle is determined from being seated in the driver seat. It is not from standing in front of the vehicle facing it. I'm sure you've had quite a few arguments with service people and parts suppliers over the years. Hope this helps in the future
On to gas-slotted rotors. For the pictures you mention, yes, they differ on each vehicle. Not knowing the markings from the manufacturer we'd have to say the direction on the "Tomato" is correct, with the slots venting the gases outward when the wheel and rotor assembly rotates counterclockwise on the left-front wheel (there's that side thing again).
Mouse-Motored Monza
Q: I'm looking for a converter recommendation for my '79 Chevy Monza Pro Street. It weighs around 2,700 pounds and has a built 333-cid small-block with a Comp Cams XE294H cam with 0.519/0.523 inch max lift and 250/256 duration at 0.050 inch tappet lift. The engine is topped off with a Team G intake, a 750-cfm carb, Sportsman II heads (mildly ported), and 10.4:1 compression. It has a TH350 trans and a 12-bolt with 4.10:1 gears, and I run a 29x12.5-inch tire. I'm looking for a stall converter that will retain some street manners for local cruise nights and such. By no means is this car just a street cruiser. I'm told 3,800-4,000 stall should be fine. I have built a few cars, all with standard shift. This is my first automatic, so any help would be great. Thanks.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Construction work starting next week in Cedar Rapids will mean detours until next fall on one southwest side street.
The city plans to close 76th Avenue Southwest from Edgewood Road to 18th Street beginning Wednesday. That closing could last until sometime this fall.
Work on 76th Avenue in front of the College Community School district will include medians and other changes. The contractor can't close the road in front of Prairie High School until the end of classes. City engineers say there are also incentives to encourage the contractor to finish here before school starts in the fall.

My firebricks have a slight mold pattern on them. I have practiced sanding leftovers to remove the tiny ridges and level the edges of my floor. The sanding seems to open up the "pores" of the brick and it is not as smooth as the factory finish was. Does this make cooking difficult? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help
Re: sanding
At one point, FB members suggested sanding to "smooth" down the edges... But then the bricks started to 'pit.' I think you remove the harder out surface by sanding...
I would recommend not sanding the whole surfaces. I did sand a few edges to break a few high spots but that was it.
Re: sanding
I was one of the "sanders" (belt sander to be specific). Completed about 14 months ago. I have seen no ill effects to sanding my hearth floor as smooth as a baby's bottom.....badger is correct, other members who have opted to try the belt sander method have reported pitting....exactly what that means, I don't know.
My bricks, like yours were pretty textured (wire cut, as the brickyard told me). In my case, the pitting would have to be pretty severe to be a rougher surface than what I started with...to me, sanding really needed to be done to keep the peel from catching. I'm not going to say do it, or not do it......just wanted you to know it is probably a 50/50 proposition. I'd be curious to know exactly the extent of pitting others may have experienced.
As badger mentions, DO sand down any high corners or ridged edges....you don't want to catch your peel and chip a large chunk off of a hearth brick. Angle grinder works faster than the belt sander.....just be careful not to gouge the surface.
Re: sanding
Hi, my name is Les, and I am a "sander" :) Fire brick does not have a "glaze" like decorative brick, they mix it up and pour it into a mold, then wire cut to screed. I have seen many of my brick, when cut in half, expose HUGE pits - the nature of the beast. I suggest sanding to get rid of the edges like most have done. End the end, the pits will be filled with ash and all is good (I trust :o )
Re: sanding
I have seen bricks in the past while helping my friend build his oven (which got me interested in the first place) develop pits when sanded due to air bubbles in the original mix. He filled the pits with fire clay mortar just like you would in sheetrock repair and sanded again. Looked great and worked great.
Re: sanding
Thanks for the replies, as soon as I get my soldier course in place to restrain the floor I guess I'll sand or not. Kind of depends on how the day is going. I can clearly see the issue from both sides.
Re: sanding
I'm late to this thread, but I can weigh in on the pro-sanding side. Basic clay bricks are vitrified, where the clay is subjected to heat and essentially melted and fused together. As a result, there is no outer, or inner, layers.
Grind or sand away. You can grind your entrance arch, or high spots on your cooking floor. Two good candidates.
Re: sanding
I would go with James, I don't think he has ever steered anyone the wrong way. I think he cares as much about our projects as we do. IF the man says do - it is with good reason and logic; same is true if he does not recommend a process.

They almost continue to send money to support their parents.
But parents, far away from their children, have less influence on them.
In previous decades parents chose the mate. Nowadays many young girls in Thailand choose on their own.
Often Thai people continue to live in their parent's house even if they are old enough to live their own life.
Especially for girls, they should not leave their parent's home if they are not married.
If a thai girl is living alone, everybody gossip that she is a bad girl or a "MIA NOI" , mistress of a wealthy man.
In Thailand there is no pension when workers retire. So the only support for the old parents are their children.
Thai people don't like the westerner principle to send old parents in special nursing-home.
They say it is not a nice way to thank parents for all the goodness they did.
All the family shall live together.
Children are the assurance for the parents.
But of course it doesn't mean that you have to live with the whole family if you choose to marry a thai girl.
It's enough if the thai girl still takes care of her family in the future.
That means financial support although it is a very small amount.
Thai women status is twisted between traditional / conservative and modern / western views.
This page tries to describe both views on some topics linked to Thai women status.
Dating in Thailand is not similar to Western dating.
Teenagers can be boyfriend-girlfriend without a kiss or holding hands during several years.
When time has come, the boy speaks about the girl to his parents and they might agree or disagree.
And the boy cannot go against his parents' decision. Explicit love gestures might be inappropriate in Thai culture.
Dating is very common now in Thailand and girls don't just devote their life to the first boyfriend that they meet.
Explicit acts of love like holding hands, embracing, and kissing in public are no longer taboo in the eyes of teenagers.
In Thailand it is unacceptable for any girl to have sex before they get married.
Thai people usually link having sex with getting married.
Thai culture doesn't allow boys and girls to stay overnight together even though they have no sex, except if they are in group of friends or family.
In Thailand people wouldn't have sex before marriage while in a modern western couple, there is no commitment before having sex.
It often said that "Man wants to be the first boy of his girlfriend while woman wants to be the last girl of her boyfriend".
Values, attitudes and behavior of many girls in Thailand were in crisis because of excessive Western influences promoted by the mass media.
To combat sexual promiscuity among teens, a Thai senator said she would launch a public campaign to encourage students to remain chaste until marriage.
Conservatives blamed the media, Western culture and the disintegration of the family.
They praise Thai values, in which women are expected to preserve their virginity and display sexual correctness.
Sex or premarital sex is happening much more than conservatives think but it is not considered such a "dirty" thing any longer.
Many couples live together before getting married, to test out their relationship.
Under-age and pre-marital sex is no longer taboo as long as there is some restraint.
In a changing Thai society the advent of casual sex is bad news for prostitutes as their potential customers increasingly engage in pre-marital sexual relationships.
In 2001 the ministry of public health said a study of 10 000 sex workers revealed each woman had, on average, only one customer a night, compared to an average of 1,5 a night only three years ago
and three customers a night before the Asian financial crisis.
Only 10 percent of men in their twenties were willing to admit to frequenting brothels, a drop from 55 percent six years ago.
Thai society is still a society for men. In Buddhist conception, being a woman is less valued than being a man.
Women still not have the same rights and same position in society as men.
Woman in Thailand have not the power but are always the family head and take care about children and finances.
Some Thai rich women or business women don't marry and stay single.
Why should they marry? Thai society says that if they are rich, they don't need a husband.
Some Thai men don't like intelligent women.
Husbands shall of course take care and support their wife.
For the wife, receiving nice gifts from her husband is important. She is able to show off to the society.
As foreigners husbands are seen like rich people, a foreigner husband is expected to do better. Money is very important in Thai society.
It is said that "When a Thai girl says I love you, it means I want you to take care of me".
In the past, Thai women didn't work and depends on men.
In Thailand there is a significant gap between average salaries earned by men and women as a result of the concentration of women in traditionally lower paying jobs.
There were 45 women among the 499 members of the House of Representatives, and 20 women in the 200 member Senate.
There were 3 women in the 35 member Cabinet(2005 figures).
In year 2005, Thai women are no longer required to take their husband's family name when they marry.
The vast majority of the women in Thailand nowadays work and contribute as much to the household income as the men, sometimes even more.
Nowadays many Thai men treat their wife, provided love and affection to her, and even helps out with household chores.
Many Thai girls work abroad as sewer, hairdresser, waitress, cook, maid. It is a way to be independent and support their family.
It is often said that when a girl in Thailand gets married, she loses her bargaining power towards her husband.
Thai society is reluctant against women who get divorced.
Many girls don't divorce in order to avoid gossip and blame.
Still a few years ago men could ask for divorce if their wives were unfaithful but the contrary was false.
Under existing laws only men can seek to annul an engagement or file for a divorce while women have to first prove their husbands have provided financial support to another woman.
A woman in Thailand cannot charge her husband with rape.
Ubiquitous soap operas advocate heroes raping their women as a means of expressing love.
One cultural shock which happens between Thai wives and foreign husbands is the need to support a remote family in Thailand.
When a man marries a Thai girl, it means he also marries her family as well.
Girls in Thailand are educated to respect their parents and support them.
So money shall be sent to them. Otherwise everyone gossip that children have a stone heart . Traditionally, women are the caregivers for the elderly.
But as they are now in the workforce, taking care of old parents means more stress and strain for working women in Thailand.
Many Thai girls have their own apartment instead of living with their parents, however it doesn't mean that they are not close to their family and don't love or respect their parents.
Education is not important for women as they need to find a husband.
Women in Thailand go to college, enjoy great education and freedom.
Thai Women had equal access to higher education.
More than 50% of the year's university graduates are girls.
It's not just the lure of financial security but the "bad habits" of Thai men, say those Thai girls who have chosen Western men over their male compatriots for husbands.
In Thailand girls complain that Thai men prefer to have fun together ("PAI THIAW") than going back home and take care about the family.
After the monthly wages, Thai men are seen together in restaurants without their thai wives.
They pretend having late meetings at the office and then they go to restaurants where there are singers, karaoke.
Thai men have the bad reputation to be unfaithful and have sex with prostitutes.
In 1999 sexual establishments increased to a number of 8,431 and a lot of these places are not in tourist towns like Patong, Patpong.
Some women in Thailand complain about Thai men's bad habits, especially the drinking, gambling and womanizing, which they describe as being irresponsible to the family.
When talking to girls in Thailand "Why have you chosen a foreign husband ?".
Many answer that foreigner men are more romantic, take care of their wife and tasks in the family are equally shared.
The opinion of the wife is listened.
In year 1998, Chulalongkorn University administrators has banned miniskirts as they see them as an invitation for rape.
In year 2004, Songkran revelers have been told to avoid spaghetti-strap tops.
In year 2004, following the speed with which nipple stickers have become trendy among teenagers, Culture Minister asked the police and the Consumer Protection Board
to closely monitor fashion shows and publications in Thailand.
Nipple stickers, an accessory popular among hot thai fashion models, have spun off the catwalk and gained popularity on the street,
causing concern among conservatives that bras will become a thing of the past in Thailand.
Dressing is an individual's right.
Powerful and rich Thai men sometimes have a "MIA NOI" , a second unofficial wife.
The man supports everything for her, supports her children but in front of the society she is not recognized.
Powerful and influential men in Thailand don't divorce but can have unofficially several minor wives.
As long as he takes care of all of girls it is tolerated. This of course the Thai male point of view.
In 2001 a study led by a Thai hospital revealed some insights on Thai men behavior on polygamy.
The study showed that the typical Thai men who have minor wife or wives are mostly businessmen.
The study showed that most girls in Thailand who become minor wives do so because they have become dependent on men and feel they do not have to work hard to be financially stable.
Most of this group of girls were aged 20-30 years and were college graduates.
The study showed that 33% of all minor wives had problems of insecurity, while another 33% were lured into the situation by men who lied about their marital status.
Most women in Thailand wanted to end the marriage after learning about the minor wives, most men did not want to divorce their first wife.
In 2004, a survey in Thailand, focusing on married men's extra-marital relations, was carried out among 1069 men.
About 66.4% say they have sex with other women.
More than 80% of respondents find it unacceptable for married women to have affairs or even date men without telling them they are married.
Most young Thai men and women nowadays are very self-confident, independent, and intelligent.
There is a large number of Thai girls who are well traveled, educated, successful in their careers, and have a loving and supportive family.

waoooo,,,can I join here? OK? I can not do cool rendaring and setting, but just want to throw and stuck,

By all means, my dear, all are welcome! As for your questions, as Scott-Livingston explained as did I in my original post, we already have the leading models of DAZ 3D, V5 & M5 are out and already well-supported. Victoria & Michael are very much indeed Iconic figures, but they're a given. Now it's time to see what's in store for rest of the Millennium Family.
As for my mentioning of Hitomi, technically she is not where she isn't a DAZ 3D Original, but she IS the latest 3D Anime Girl of the community-famous MallenLane, the creator of many of the Millennium Icons such as David, Aiko, Hiro, Laura & Luke, and Maddie & Matt. Because of this fact, many of us DAZ users revere her as a Gen 5 Icon anyway, some going as far as to call her "Aiko 5" (though, with leaked knowledge that there is a H5 coming, we now know this means that the real A5 is in the planing as well). This is why I acknowledge her as Aiko & Hiro's "little sister", much like how Stephanie has always been a sister figure to Victoria.

Nice portrait! I really like this, and you did a great job capturing Ksenia's essence. I don't think I'd consider her an iconic character—she's too new—but that's okay. Would you mind sharing the formula for her?

thanks guys!!

this is not mix character and this is not by hand made morph face. so not need resipes.
Ksenia for genesis (rc ver^^;) is by Ksenia for V4 use ,transfer utility, and v4.2 and v4shape for genesis.
and Erc freeze. I thought I would need to reshape in hexagon, but it seems not need so many surgery.
(yes I know many guys do it by gen X,,)
so it is not good work and I understand not much on this Iconic Render Thred ^^; excuse me!! but I want to throw more photo
on this topics,,
then I will show other photo because I got A3 and H3 shapes for genesis now.
and if someone who try transfer utility for a substitute of generation X, I recommend and tell how I did
(if someone hope) it is not difficult but need some method to get better translation for v4 morph.
I checkd the topic how to taranslate morph for genesis by transfer utilty, but feel need more detail,,
and thanks Ramwolfd yes,,,
I should adjust again some lig,, or need some morph for correct the underams,,
I set Rig , after translate morph by "auto adjust rig for shape", then check how would be,
but need more correct ,, bone adjustment is not so interesting work ^^;
(so I hope daz make more and more shape if which remaked for genesis pool !
and I hope vender if they plan new character for v4, please plan for genesis too)
kitakoredaz - 19 August 2012 08:19 PMthanks guys!!

thanks guys!!
so it is not good work and I understand not much on this Iconic Render Thred ^^; excuse me!! but I want to throw more photo

Don't worry about it, dear. She looks lovely!
What I mean by "Gen 5 Icon" is the up-coming 5th versions of the Millennium Family that we now know DAZ is working on. Basically, what I want to see from you is your own idea as to what you think the characters should look like. If you were the one making the Anime duo of Aiko 5 & Hiro 5, or the Sci-Fi/Toon styles of Freak 5 & Girl 5, etc., what would make them look like?
You don't have to do anything for V5 or M5 if you don't want to, because they are out in the store and we know what they look like already. I'm just looking to see how everyone else envisions the characters that are on their way. Get what I'm saying now?
whhhh I can imagin just new game 3D character,, (though I have only PS2 still):roll:
maybe it is Aiko 5 or,,, if I named it "ARISSA" or "RUKA" or,,, " REIKA" or,,,
uuu I try to make "Aiko infinity " ^^;
and this is aquesiton about rule, so how you make your character for this topic?
eg YOU can only use genesis basic morph ,and iconicshape for genesis!
or genesis body morphs )
because,, If I use my handmade morph (I just mix mix mix and tweak, save ,
and mix mix mix mix and tweak and save as FBM ^^;)
I may not tell how to make the shape or character,,
this is my hope AIko5,, (few real version Aiko ninja?!:)
Just take a screen shot of the currently used shapes when you're done.
Visit my store
yes I know,, but after tweak if I like the shape , I saved as character preset,,
no1 no2 no3,, and apply it in the scene.
I had not memorrized how to make them before.
now I can find only
concentrate 0.52
contempt 0.095
Mouth Frown 0.022
when next challenge,, with recipe,,I do.

Emerging Markets: No More BRIC in the Wall?
As major economies continue to struggle and previously up and coming markets such as Brazil and China mature, IDG Connect investigates opinion on the next emerging markets. With expanded background on Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and Qatar, this paper also presents local opinions from experts on the ground.
IDC predicts that emerging markets will contribute for 53% of 2012's global ICT growth. Knowing which of these countries is next to boom is invaluable for companies looking to expand or balance lack of growth in more established environments. To test opinion, IDG Connect conducted a straw poll of 675 global IT and business professionals on which country they felt was about to boom and why. This report provides an overview of the results, highlighting the views of the voters, as well as analysing the findings and giving background on the featured countries.Please login or create an account in order to access this content.

The problem of whether the lateral recruiting costs versus the net production of the laterals present a "winning" financial proposition are not addressed with a heavy capital contribution program versus a debt financed program. The redirecting of cash internally from equity capital as contrasted with debt — much of which has been pushed down to individual partners rather than sourced from revolving lines at the firm level — is not a solution. Dewey used debt to do what it did to its partners, but it wasn't restricted to only using debt — it could have used heavy capital contributions instead, or in a blend. The classic challenge of overdistribution as contrasted with undercapitalization is not protected against just because a firm uses all equity for its capital needs. With a large performing receivables base, not much capital is actually needed to operate the business, assuming distributions are reasonably restricted to net cash on hand less operating reserves.
If the firm that pursues a heavy rolling capital contribution commitment is well managed, and compared to a firm with balanced use of debt and equity, and thus responsibly uses capital at a 35 percent of targeted compensation ratio, isn't the average PPP partner in this firm investing $300k more of their after tax savings, with no interest or capital appreciation in its growth, to "buy" their $1.2 million compensation package as compared to other firms? Compensation that is the same as the firm across the street would also offer in a competitive market for the same performance?
And if the equity heavy firm is not well managed and goes bankrupt anyway, the unfunded portion of a partner's capital contribution is going to be an estate claim that the creditors and trustee will demand her to satisfy with the unrelenting focus of The Terminator. The bank loans she may have taken out to make capital contributions will remain as personal liabilities to satisfy as well!
It is up to you to ask the questions you need to know the answers to. How much capital does a firm really need to have, whether debt or equity, and what is that capital being used for exactly.
