Super-slimmer Penny aims to gain pounds in aid of Help for Heroes
Posted: August 25, 2012|
A FORCES mum near Stafford who shed five stone in a year is gearing up for another weighty challenge - trekking the Great Wall of China to help injured troops.
Penny Lock, whose sons Matt and Josh are currently serving in the 3rd Mercian Regiment (Staffords), has already raised thousands of pounds for Help for Heroes.
And to celebrate her weight loss milestone the Haughton resident plans to put her best foot forward for the cause again next year with friend Phil Barker.
Penny met Phil last year while taking part in Time Team Academy.
She won backing for local troops from Time Team presenter Tony Robinson last year, who showed his support by donning a 3rd Mercian wristband.
And for her planned Great Wall of China trek Penny has the support of another TV personality comic John Bishop, She said: "He came to film at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth where I had been working.
"He was more than happy to pose with our bear mascot and signed her so we can auction her off if we want, which was lovely of him.
"I was looking for a bit of a challenge after losing five stone and it was Phil's suggestion to do the Great Wall of China trek. It's about 70 km in seven days.
"We have to raise £3,300 each to take part. Earlier this month we completed the Hadrian's Wall challenge - 20 miles in one day - again for Help for Heroes.
"It was good practice but hard work!
"We want to see if there are any companies out there who would like to help us out, perhaps donating equipment in return for us promoting them on our trip or if anyone would just like to donate.
"We have already had T-shirts printed donated by Footprint in Penkridge."
The pair have a Facebook page, Scrambled Legs, where they give regular updates on their progress. Anyone who would like to make an online donation can do so online at their fund- raising page, www.bmycharity.com/ScrambledLegs, or call Penny on 01785 780736.

This was Francisco Cordero one year ago while pitching for the Cincinnati Reds
Okay, so not exactly the body of an Adonis, but not exactly fat and out of shape. Well, here is what Cordero looks like right now with the Toronto Blue Jays
Not sure what would freak me out more about this picture if I was a Blue Jays fan. That bird eyes staring into my soul, or my set-up and possible closer looking like the Detroit Tigers new heavy hitting first baseman.

Drive Thru Paradise:
Drinking Made Easy
For a truly unique drinking experience, pull into the drive thru of the Daiquiri Bay Cafe'. Much like a fast food joint, you can pull up to the drive thru window, but instead of ordering a burger and fries, you can order a drink of the alcohol variety. With flavors like Jungle Juice, Pink Lemonade, Pina Colada, White Russian and Margarita, you can order any of your favorite flavors. If you can't decide, try The Kitchen Sink, a mix of all their available flavors. While not exactly promoting drinking and driving, the lax open container laws of Louisiana allow open alcoholic beverages in moving vehicles as long as they're not being consumed by the driver.

Katy Perry is hoping MTV Movie Awards viewers enjoy her new single, "California Gurls," as much as fiancé Russell Brand does . Not only will she have Snoop Dogg onstage with her , but she also has plans to hit the stage nude.
That's right, folks: no clothes!
"I think that this performance will be really Californian," she told MTV News about Sunday's big performance. "I will be naked," she joked. "There will be tons of naked girls. Listen: You gotta tune in, because yours truly, Katy Perry, will be naked. That's the only reason to watch."
Plus, fans will get a taste of what's to come from the "California Gurls" video, when an exclusive sneak peek debuts in the pre-show, which will be co-hosted by "Jersey Shore" star Snooki .
"It's definitely something to watch when you have the munchies," she said. " 'Cause it's all edible."
While Perry is known for her outlandish red-carpet looks, it's still unknown what the pop star will wear to the big show. But she does already have her date all lined up in show presenter and "Get Him to the Greek" star Brand. "We're both going to be at the Movie Awards. Katy's going to be performing her new, brilliant single, 'California Gurls,' " Brand said. "[It's going to be] me standing awkwardly with ['Greek' co-stars] Jonah Hill and Puff Daddy."
Don't miss the live red-carpet coverage, exclusive movie clips and fist-pumping action on MTV News' "Jersey Shore Blow-Out at the MTV Movie Awards," airing live from Los Angeles this Sunday, June 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Then stay tuned for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Looking good, Im glad to see all of these new additions, I really am glad to see Ep2 exclusive and Ep2 Exclusive content in modular Combat, Another great step!
It's taken us a bit of deliberation and lots of polling to get to this point, but we've decided to load Half-Life 2: Episode Two content into Modular Combat.
Posted by matthewdryden on Jul 11th, 2009
It's taken us a bit of deliberation and lots of polling to get to this point, but we've decided to load Half-Life 2: Episode Two content into Modular Combat. This means that we'll be able to use the new baddies that were introduced in Episode Two and some of the cool new content.
You, the player, will need to have Episode Two installed to play the game. This fact is the very thing
that has stopped us for so long – but we feel that it's come to a point where most all of our players own The Orange Box, and already have access to the game. If not, you can buy Half-Life 2: Episode Two for $14.99 USD on Steam.
That being said, we making an effort to let our beloved server hosts have the choice on whether or not they want to disable Episode Two content (our reliance on it being very small at the moment). I can't really make any final decisions here right now, but I assure you that it will be very easy to disable the new content, if needed.
Matthew has taken the time to write up a short feature on how the Mod Fidelity team develops Modular Combat. This article is geared towards developers AND casual players. Go hop on over and take the time to read through.
Click here to read the article.
(A bit of a spoiler: we've provided a FULL CHANGELIST for the upcoming release near the end of the post!)
I'm afraid that we can't give you a specific release date yet as we still have a little bit of things to do with the mod – but over the next few weeks, you will definitely be hearing a lot more from us! I'm talking screenshots and movies and all different kinds of media and interviews.
So stay tuned and, as always, thanks for reading!
Follow us on:
(Special thanks to the Overgrowth team and Iiro Jäppinen for providing these nice icons!)
Looking good, Im glad to see all of these new additions, I really am glad to see Ep2 exclusive and Ep2 Exclusive content in modular Combat, Another great step!
Thanks for your support - the development team is actually playing through Episode Two again just to see what kind of stuff we want to put into it. It should be pretty fun.
so ur taking mc into epsiode two ull be making seprate server right like i suggested
I doubt there will be any official servers that have no Episode Two content, but we will definitely be giving people the option to do this.
nice, cant wait till next update
Can't wait to see you on the servers!
I'm very happy with this, with Episode 2 you can bring a lot more content in.
I think the majority of people who own HL2 also have Episode 2 (especially if they have Episode 1).
I think so to. I found that most people said something to the effect of, "Well I have Episode Two, but I'm sure there are people who don't."
if you dont have ep2 gtfo, no one likes you.
Haha, poor Stubby.
I wonder how many players will actually have problems with this (would be an interesting statistics for many mods to know what percentage has HL2 but not Episode Two).
I do believe this will prove to be a good move, however, with how much you will benefit from the additional resources.
Thanks. We did carefully weigh all of the options and decided that we could benefit short-term from all of the immediately new and available resources.
Nice work on the ingame menu's, they look very easy to use.
Your right! Andy (FTWinston) did a fantastic job designing these.
It could be easier for those with only EP1 to host their EP1 only servers, like how Obsidian Conflict has a "mount" menu for players to choose which content to activate.
The only thing that is gonna be different is the npcs, props, and textures, as EP2 contains more content from that section.
But maybe MC could have a "Classic" mode, where both EP2 and EP1 players can play in Classic maps that uses generic content from both sdk, thus allowing a generic development for modules, etc.
This could be definitely an option - but it's not something we're considering straight away for Modular Combat. I would rather make all of the content available to the player without them having to do any extra work and leave the "big decision" up to the server admins.
Isn't my type of mod at all, but the gameplay mechanics look great. I can somewhat see the menus being simple and user-friendly which is a bonus. But let's just hope and I quote these "Relentless Fanboys" can actually play it.
Aww, thanks for the compliments. I do hope you try out the mod once we get it up and going - if you want to, you can hit me up on Steam!
That concern is a little presumptuous. It'll work regardless.
You see, even if you buy a copy of Half Life 2 or HL2:ep1, you get the Orange Box Sdk free to download. It's under the 'Tools' tab in Steam, you need to downlaod it manually. Valve posted this bit of news in an official Steam forum not too long ago. Everyone who owns those games gets a copy.
You don't even need to own HL2:ep2. The SDK is all you need.
You would be right if they were just using engine bits. But they're mounting actual content from Episode 2.
The reason why we're mounting Episode Two is purely for the assets that will become available to us when we do it. Because one area we sorely lack in is the assets, having all this new content available to us is going to be a great boon.
So whe are forced now to buy games...
Uh no, you're not "forced". You don't HAVE to play the mod.
It's $14.99 on steam, the orange box is $29.99, it's not like your not going to be able to feed your family for two weeks if you buy either of them, and really, The Orange Box at 60 dollars is the greatest deal in video gaming ever, $29.99 is epic.
Or you could just do what Minuit said and not play it, but proceed with whining on various forums about how much that sucks.
I do agree that this is going to be a drag for some of you. I'm going to try to come up with an idea to make the transition a little easier for some people.
Not good.. please use source sdk base orange.
I'm sorry you feel this way - but we weighed all the benefits and have decided that it's in our best interest to use the Episode 2 assets. I hope that you're able to pick up and install the game and come join us!
no ep2 here, so, ftl ;)
Sorry, If you can, just save for Ep. 2. We(The team) are trying to be clear that the mod wouldn't go much farther without it.
I don't have ep2 :(.I guess I'll have to think about getting it now 2 mods I like the look of require it.
I think its awesome to include new content from EP:2. I dont see why anyone would not have it, the majority of people i have spoken to have got the Orange Box package and something. The price of EP:2 has gone way down and the game itself is really good. I don't see why people dont just save up a little while and get it.
Awesome work MC team!
Dec the almighty commented our little ol' mod? Nice. Haha, Thanks for the support!
Games all true modders should have: Half-Life 1, Half-Life 2 + Ep1 and Ep2.
HL1 the big boost for mods.
Hl2 because of Source
Ep1 Source improvments + addons
Ep2 same as Ep1
Very Nice updates!
Great Work!

Anderson County Fair ups the rewards for winners
What: Anderson County Fair
When: Friday through and including Oct. 21
Where: Anderson County Fair and Expo Center, Williamston Road, Anderson
Admission: adults, $6, children 5-12, $4, children under 4 are admitted free
Parking: Free
Information: (864) 226-6114
Web site: www.andersoncountyfair.com
Strollers, electric carts and wheelchairs are available to rent at gate 14 at the commercial building
It's becoming more profitable to win a prize at the Anderson County Fair.
Among the changes for this year's fair, the agriculture program has shifted its schedule, upped the prize money for beef and dairy winners and canceled one show in an effort to increase participation.
Throughout the week, residents will show cattle, goats, rabbits, poultry, flowers and a variety of crafts from baking to quilting to canning foods. The Clemson University Cooperative Extension, which runs the fair's agriculture program, decided to drop the lamb competition this year and add bigger premiums to the more popular beef and dairy shows, fair manager John Owens said.
Several livestock shows will be held later in the day so families who come in the evening can see the animals. Mr. Owens said the fair also has arranged the competition schedule to allow farmers to participate in the county fair and the South Carolina State Fair, which opened on Wednesday.
The Anderson County Fair spends nearly $45,000 each year on its agriculture program. It's the No. 3 reason after rides and food that people come to the fair, Mr. Owens said.
The fair runs from today to Oct. 21, and is expected to attract more than 200,000 people.

OWINGS, Md. (WUSA) --A 12-year-old boy from Calvert County, Maryland is hospitalized Wednesday morning. He survived an apparent murder suicide and arson. Police say the boy's father killed the boy's sister and his mother before taking his own life.
It happened at 1800 Candlelight Court in Owings, on Tuesday morning.
Investigatorshave identified the victims as 31-year-old Cynthia Hayward and her 2-year-old daughter Natalee. Investigators believe the pair were murdered by Cynthia Hayward's 32-year-old husband Frank, who committed suicide. The couple's 12-year-old son Frank Hayward III survived the incident and was airlifted to a hospital with burns and lacerations.
A fire had been set in the home and was burning when rescuers entered the house just after 9 a.m. Tuesday. The bodies of the mother and daughter were burned.
Investigators have not commented on how the victims died. Handguns believed to be used in the incident were recovered from the home.
Sheriff's deputies went to the home in theFairview subdivision of Owings Tuesday morningafter a great aunt fled from the house and called9-1-1at about 8:30 a.m. to report a domestic incident, officials said.
A tactical team in an armored vehicle approached the house and entered, finding a fire burning inside and the victims on the first level of the large traditional-style home.
Investigators are trying to figure out what lead to the murder suicide. In the meantime, several details about the family and home have surfaced. According to the documents, Cynthia Hayward filed for divorce in 2007 alleging nearly a decade of physical and verbal abuse but chose to go to counseling instead. We have also learned the home was put on the market and was reportedly headed toward foreclosure.

South Ossetia occupies a small territory situated between Georgia, of which it is legally part, and Russia. It is bordered to the north by the North Ossetian Republic of the Russian Federation, and by the Georgian province of Kartli to the south. Georgian sources often refer to the region as Samachablo (a medieval name for the region, meaning literally 'fiefdom of the Machabeli clan') or Shida Kartli (inner Kartli), although the official Georgian name is Tskhinvali region.
Ossetians speak Ossetic, a language of the North Iranian language group and are thought to have originated in the fusion of nomadic, Sarmatian and indigenous populations of the North Caucasus in the fourth century, with the Sarmatian (later called Alan) element dominant.
Approximately 70,000 Ossetians lived in the autonomous region of South Ossetia in 1989, with a further 100,000 elsewhere in Georgia before the outbreak of the conflict. According to the Georgian Census of 2002, 38,000 Ossetians remained in undisputed Georgian territory, accounting for 0.9 per cent of Georgia's population. Many Georgian residents of the autonomous region also fled as a result of the 1989 conflict, but an estimated 20,000 remained in villages typically intermingled with Ossetian villages. There has been significant intermarriage between Ossetians and Georgians, but statistics are unavailable. There is no reliable data for the total population of South Ossetia today, although prior to the August 2008 war between the Georgian army and South Ossetian and Russian forces, it was thought to be in the region of 70,000. Many ethnic Georgians fled or were driven from South Ossetia during and after the conflict, but the extent and duration of their displacement remain difficult to determine.
A further 300,000 Ossetians live in the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania (under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation).
Ossetian settlement in Georgia, composed of the Tualläg subgroup, has been a gradual process, beginning in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Ossetians are primarily Orthodox Christian with a small Muslim element. Ossetians enjoyed a brief period of unity in 1905 when they were grouped together in one national district; however, since then, like other groups in the Caucasus, they have been subjected to numerous border changes Stalin divided them between the North Ossetian Autonomous Republic in the Russian Federation and the South Ossetian Autonomous Region in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia.
Despite the fact that the majority of Ossetians in Georgia lived outside of the autonomous region, and Ossetians were one of the most Georgianized of the republic's minorities in linguistic terms, Georgian moves towards independence created tensions with South Ossetia in the 1980s. Mobilization by the South Ossetian Popular Front (Adaemon Nykhas in Ossetic) against perceived discrimination followed the promulgation of legislation strengthening the status of the Georgian language in August 1989. These demands soon turned into requests for unification with North Ossetia. The local Georgian population protested, which led to clashes in December 1989 and the dispatch of Soviet Interior Ministry troops in January 1990. As the year progressed, the South Ossetians, like other minority groups, felt increasingly marginalized from a political arena, that excluded participation by regionally or ethnically based parties in the autumn elections.
The central authorities resisted the South Ossetian declaration of sovereignty in September 1990, culminating in the abolition of South Ossetia's autonomous status at the end of the year and the deployment of the Georgian National Guard in the capital Tskhinvali. The imposition of National Guard rule over the territory led to widespread human rights abuses. Following the South Ossetian declaration of independence in December 1991, the intensity of the conflict increased, leading to the displacement of thousands of people. The outflow of refugees into North Ossetia (in the Russian Federation) had an impact on the development of the conflict between North Ossetia and Ingushetia (see Russian Federation). Georgian attempts to reassert control over the territory were hampered by political turmoil in the country as a whole and by the fact that South Ossetia received support from North Ossetia and other areas of the northern Caucasus, as well as covert support from Russia. Georgia and Russia reached a ceasefire agreement in Sochi on 24 June 1992, providing for a peacekeeping force, the establishment of a control commission and joint Ossetian-Georgian patrols, observed by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Tbilisi. A Joint Control Commission, composed of South Ossetian, North Ossetian, Russian and Georgian staff was to coordinate peacekeeping efforts.
Negotiations continued after 1992, but South Ossetian leaders were keen to see the outcome of Georgian-Abkhaz negotiations before coming to an agreement. South Ossetia, as one of the few points where communications links traverse the great Caucasus range, developed into a centre for highly lucrative trade in contraband. The South Ossetians continued to insist that an institutionalized link with North Ossetia was needed to guarantee their ethnic survival, whereas Georgians saw this as a platform for continued Russian interference. Almost all Ossetians in South Ossetia reportedly acquired Russian passports. Over time, most Georgian sources no longer even referred to South Ossetia, given the earlier abolition of the autonomy, instead variously calling it Tskhinvali district, the wider region of Shida Kartli, or by its medieval name, Samachablo.
Georgian-Ossetian relations sharply declined following Georgia's 2003 Rose Revolution, with a fleeting resumption of armed hostilities in July 2004. Following an exchange of fire, both sides agreed to a demilitarization of the region. Although the ceasefire held, near-daily shootings continued. On 26 January 2005 President Saakashvili presented proposals for resolving the Georgian-Ossetian conflict to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, followed by presentation of an action plan by Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli to the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna in October of the same year. The plan envisaged a model of autonomy within an ambiguously defined federal Georgian state. Although the OSCE Ministerial Council expressed approval of this plan, the South Ossetian leadership rejected it.
Tensions between Georgia and Russia, which was overtly sympathetic to Ossetian and Abkhaz separatists, sharply increased in 2006. Georgia attempted to impose visa requirements for Russian troops arriving on peacekeeping duty in South Ossetia and in September 2006 its detention of Russian military officers on spying charges prompted Moscow to slap a trade embargo on Georgia and suspend transportation links. Meanwhile, Moscow continued to provide Ossetians Russian passports, making 'protection of Russian citizens' a leading justification for its actions in Georgia.
Geopolitical factors provided added incentives for conflict between Tbilisi and Moscow. In December 2006, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that if Kosovo were to gain independence from Serbia, then Abkhazia and South Ossetia should be free to become independent of Georgia. In February 2008, Kosovo declared independence and many countries, including the United States and most EU member states, recognized it over Moscow's strenuous objections. Russia was angered by American military support to Georgia and support for Saakashvili's ambitions for Georgian membership in NATO. Moscow also disliked the US-backed oil pipeline opened in July 2006 that traversed Georgia from Azerbaijan to Turkey, and which reduced Russian leverage over EU member states by making them less reliant on Russian energy supplies. As tensions between Georgia and Russia mounted, conditions worsened for ethnic minorities in South Ossetia. Exclusion of minorities threatened to push the region into conflict.
In August 2007, the Georgian government accused Russia of violating its airspace to fire a heavy missile (that failed to detonate) near South Ossetia. Russia denied the claim, accusing Georgia of staging the incident as a provocation. In September, military clashes occurred in both Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, addressing the UN General Assembly, blamed these on Russia and accused Moscow of backing a 'mission of terror'.
Conflict escalated dramatically in August 2008 following skirmishes between Georgian forces and Ossetian militias. Hours after declaring a cease-fire, Saakashvili ordered a full military assault on the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali 'to restore constitutional order'. Claiming that South Ossetian militias had first shelled Georgian villages, Georgian forces bombed and shelled Ossetian targets for two days and entered the city, with disputed results. Large numbers of Russian forces (following sizeable reinforcements to 'peacekeeping' units in South Ossetia and Abkhazia over the preceding months) poured across the border within hours to stop what Moscow termed "genocide". Russian claims of 1,500-2,000 civilian deaths from the Georgian offensive on Tskhinvali were subsequently called into question. Although there were reports of Georgian abuses and likely war crimes, Human Rights Watch could only document about 100 civilian deaths, and Russian prosecutors only 133. Among Russians, Georgians, and Ossetians, military fatalities were thought to number in the hundreds.
Russian forces joined Ossetian irregulars in quickly driving the Georgian army from South Ossetia, but did not stop there. Russia also moved troops into Abkhazia and swathes of Georgia proper, where they forced Georgian forces to retreat and destroyed military and civilian infrastructure alike. South Ossetian paramilitaries joined Russian forces in crossing into Georgia proper, particularly around the town of Gori. Widespread reports of war crimes and human rights abuses emerged from the conflict zones and ethnic Georgians fled and were driven from areas of Russian and Ossetian control. Russia agreed to a French ceasefire proposal in mid-August. Before the month was out, Moscow recognized South Ossetian (and Abkhaz) independence and in September entered a 'friendship treaty' with the territory that included pledges of military assistance and cooperation. Although western countries in particular continued to reject their independence, the longstanding de facto independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia appeared cemented, with displaced Georgian minorities in each facing long odds of ever returning home.
In November 2006 South Ossetians voted almost unanimously to preserve the territory's de facto status as an independent state and keep in power President Eduard Kokoity, who had originally been elected in 2001. The referendum was hugely popular, winning between 98 and 99 per cent of the ballot. However, the Tbilisi government thoroughly discounted the results and the Council of Europe pronounced the referendum as 'unnecessary, unhelpful and unfair' because ethnic Georgians were not permitted to vote. Simultaneously, in November 2006 an alternative poll took place in the Georgian-administered village of Eredvi. It was formally organized by the 'Salvation Union of Ossetia', established a few weeks earlier by Ossetians who served in pre-Kokoity administration in Tskhinvali and by Ossetian activists living in Georgia proper. The poll resulted in Dmitri Sanakoev, a former official of the pre-Kokoity government and an ethnic Ossetian, becoming alternative de facto president. The new Sanakoev administration, based in the Georgian village of Kurta, pledged allegiance to Tbilisi and territorial integrity.
Even before the August 2008 war, the governance environment in South Ossetia was less favourable for minorities than in some other unrecognized states. This was partly due to the fact that the de facto authorities did not control a single, contiguous territory but a patchwork of territories inhabited predominantly by Ossetians intermingled with settlements predominantly inhabited by Georgians, which were under Georgian jurisdiction. This intermingled settlement pattern was a distinguishing feature of South Ossetia compared to other unrecognized entities in the South Caucasus, and provided both greater opportunities for cooperation between Georgian and Ossetian sides, and greater security risks, by providing further incentives for ethnic expulsions. Claims that the South Ossetian conflict was the 'easiest' of the Caucasus conflicts to solve tended to ignore this reality.
The principal source of revenue for the de facto authorities is control over traffic passing through South Ossetia to and from Russia, much of it illegal. The relative power of criminal business interests in South Ossetia has circumscribed the de facto authorities' capacity to institutionalize and entrench state power. Russia is another key player in South Ossetia, especially through its share of the peacekeeping forces, and the North Ossetia Republic also influences developments. The political system in South Ossetia is ostensibly presidential, although real power appears to be exercised by different groups or networks of intertwined business and political interests. All regional currencies are reportedly accepted in South Ossetia.
Although Ossetic is recognized as an official language, Russian is the medium used in practice by the de facto authorities in South Ossetia. Many Ossetians also have knowledge of Georgian, although this is probably less the case with younger generations.
Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples
In the conflict zone of Tskhinvali, ethnic Ossetian villages were interspersed with ethnic Georgian villages, as well as those of mixed ethnicity, and there was some intermarriage between Ossetians and Georgians. Prior to the outbreak of conflict in August 2008, Russia assiduously distributed passports to Ossetians in the territory. 'Protecting Russian citizens' thus became a lead rationale for war with Georgia.
The Georgian offensive on Tskhinvali in early August 2008 caused disproportionate suffering by Ossetian civilians there. With Russia's swift backing of Ossetian militias, the tables quickly turned, and ethnic Georgians were targeted. By mid-August, UNHCR reported that around 15,000 ethnic Georgians had been displaced from South Ossetia, while 30,000 ethnic Ossetians had fled the territory, mostly for North Ossetia in Russia. At the end of the month, Human Rights Watch reported that an analysis of UN satellite photos clearly showed the intentional 'torching' of five ethnic Georgian villages near Tskhinvali – all carried out after the period of active hostilities, and none showing evidence of shelling. HRW said its researchers had themselves witnessed Ossetian militias in the act of looting and burning Georgian villages. International journalists visiting the area confirmed the looting, burning, and even some bulldozing of houses belonging to ethnic Georgians. In interviews, many Ossetians were blunt about the destruction being aimed at preventing the return of their ethnic Georgian former neighbours.
While the conflict was ongoing, Russia requested an investigation by the International Criminal Court of alleged Georgian war crimes against South Ossetians. ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said that the situation was 'under analysis'. Even when active hostilities ended, Russia maintained troops in South Ossetia and stated it would leave 3,800 in the territory. In September, Georgia filed cases against Russia before the International Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. It sought an ICJ order for the removal of Russian troops, compensation, and the return of displaced persons. Tbilisi claimed that by killing and displacing ethnic Georgians in areas of Russian occupation, Moscow was violating the UN Convention on Racial Discrimination, as well as articles 2 (right to life) and 3 (prohibition on inhuman and degrading treatment) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Russia contested the claims, saying that its troops had acted to save ethnic Russians and Ossetians.
Knut Vollebaek, the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities visited the conflict region in mid-September, but was not allowed to enter South Ossetia. He stated that this raised 'serious concern about the situation in South Ossetia and the adjacent areas under Russian control ... The fact that the international community does not have access to some parts of South Ossetia and the villages adjacent to it gives rise to suspicion that there is something to hide there.'
International relations
Russia recognized South Ossetian independence in August 2008, but as of October 2008, only Nicaragua has followed suit. As an largely unrecognized entity, South Ossetia cannot participate in international agreements and conventions.

McDaniel joins LCD-screen price-fixing suit

Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel says he's joined four other states in a suit accusing makers of liquid-crystal display computer monitors of price fixing.
A news release Tuesday from McDaniel's office said the suit was filed by attorneys general from Michigan, Missouri, West Virginia and Wisconsin as well as Arkansas. The release said the suit stemmed from a year-long investigation by the five states.
Defendants named in the suit include Samsung Electronics Co., LG Display Co., AU Optronics Corp., Chimei Innolux Corp., HannStar Display Corp., Sharp Corp. and Hitachi Displays, Ltd. According to the suit, the companies conspired to set prices on LCD panels used in monitors made by Dell, Apple, and Hewlett-Packard, among other computer manufacturers.
According to the suit, the illegal overcharges were ultimately paid by consumers in Arkansas and elsewhere.

New project launches in Talisay-A A +A
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
A NEW player in the real estate industry said it is building quality and affordable townhouses in Talisay City to help meet the province's housing requirement.
Marilou Padilla, president and chief executive officer of Sterlingland Residences and Development Inc., said yesterday the move to diversify the family's business from financing to real estate was spurred by the growing housing demand, specifically in the middle to low market segments.
The family also owns Schillings Finance Corp.
Yesterday, the company broke ground on Sterling Residences, its flagship project in the horizontal development segment. It is a townhouse project with 29 units priced from P1 million to P2.3 million. It will have a modern Mediterranean design.
The project sits on a 2,000 square meter property in Brgy. Pooc, Talisay City.
Padilla declined to disclose the total investment on the project, saying only it is a "significant amount."
She said construction of model houses will immediately start, with a completion target of about a month. The company is looking into a six-month construction period to complete the 29 house units.
Even before its official launch, Padilla said the project was already getting huge interest from potential buyers, specifically teachers. Although, they are still new in the industry, Padilla said they tapped the right partners to help them deliver high-quality but affordable homes to Cebuanos.
Padilla said they will build more small communities in the province. She said they have already drafted a five-year development plan that focuses on horizontal residential projects.
The company has properties in Talisay, Talamban in Cebu City and Minglanilla. The Talamban project, which will be launched by the end of this year, is a 55-60 unit townhouse project in a 5,000 square meter property.
After the five-year development plan, Padilla said the company will also venture into building a residential condo project in Mabolo. "The condo project is still in the planning stage but we are looking at a mixed-use development for our Mabolo property," she said.

Bath and Body Works Liplicious The Royal Collection Review, Swatches, Photos
Now that the royal wedding is overz…Thank you Jebus…and we haven't heard too much about the Royal Honeymoon…maybe we can finally settle in and get back to reality.
Yes, I'm a Royal Wedding hater, I admit it.
Bath and Body Works created its Liplicious Royal Collection to celebrate all things Royal and Princess-like…groan…but hey, it's Liplicious how can you not want to indulge!
At the rate I'm going I think I'll create a Liplicious category since we discuss the damn things so much!
The good folks at the PR agency that handles the Bath and Body Works account took pity on my weird and unusual Liplicious ways and sent over two of the new Royal Collection Lipglosses for me to try out.
Heck, you already know my thoughts on these already but here's a few deets and swatches!
The collection has four shades and flavors of gloss in a Royal theme. I tried out Kissed by a Prince which is a sparkling subdued fuchsia pink with a watermelon flavor and Princess in Training which is a peachy sparkling shade with cream orange flavor.
The glosses are one of my guilty pleasures. I love Bath and Body Works for thinking up new and exciting ways to package the Liplicious Collection. At $8 each they aren't always cheap but there is always some BOGO (buy one, get one) offer in the works that cuts the price down a bit.
I love the flavor of the glosses and find them easy to travel with plus the packaging is always some whimsical design, in this case a Royal British Wedding theme…!
Just thought I'd share some swatches from this collection and a brief babble.
Anyone pick up some of the Royal Collection?
Share it!
These are available now at Bath and Body Works.
This review contains a sample product sent for consideration by PR.

5/13/11 15:43 Musebeliever:

5/13/11 18:14 mya:

5/17/11 23:43 Ally:
I saw the orange and pineapple flavors at the Bath and Body Works outlet near my college, and I HAD to have them! I'll admit it, I'm totally a sucker for royal wedding stuff and anything from Bath and Body Works! =P And the flavors are so yummy!
6/1/11 14:31 fiona:
