Ringing endorsement
February 9, 2009
By Chantelle Lusebrink
Two church musicians attend national hand-bell convention
A solitary ringer lifts his bell and it reverberates through the auditorium. Silence follows before your ears are filled with the vibrations of the Memorial Bells hand-bell choir.
"Whenever I play or listen, I get goose bumps. My group does that quite often to me," said Alice Lewis, director of the Memorial Bells hand-bell choir at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Issaquah. "To hear them play what I've interpreted and give that back to me and on to our audience. The ultimate goal is for the audience or listeners to get the message the music is imparting." While listening to her 13 ringers of the Memorial Bells choir is impressive, she said, 114 of the best hand-bell ringers in the U.S. will be a different experience altogether.
Lewis, who lives in Hobart, and one of Our Savior's ringers, Erin Hersey, of Kent, have been selected to participate in the Distinctly Bronze West convention at the Kitsap Conference Center in Bremerton Feb. 12-15.
The event is organized by The American Guild of English Handbell Ringers and is identified as Distinctly Bronze because it is the highest performance level of hand-bell musicianship a performer can attain.
The ringers are chosen through an application asking each what skills they have, the level of musicianship they've acquired, how many years they have played and asks for at least two recommendations from people who have seen the ringer perform and can attest to their skills.
For Lewis and Hersey, the event is more than just a chance to show off their ringing skills, it is also a chance to work on their musicianship.
"Even though I've been directing for 37 years, I didn't know if I'd be accepted, because I haven't had a lot of chances to ring," Lewis said. "This is a challenge for me."
Despite having played since 1986, Hersey said she is still really nervous.
"I was really excited because I wasn't really sure how hard it would be to get in," she said. "But I'm really nervous, because the music we are going to play is really hard, and I just don't want to let anybody down."
She has been a musician all her life, playing piano and participating in her school bands, but she said, unlike a piece where you play all the notes on your page, hand-bells is quite an adjustment.
"You have two bells in your hand and you start with just two notes, but you really have to count and come in at just the right time," she said.
From the first time she played, she said, she was hooked.
When the chance to perform at Distinctly Bronze came so close to home, she said she couldn't pass it up. The conference is usually held on the East Coast or in the Midwest.
"I always wonder if I'm going to do this for another year," Lewis said. "But you go to an event like this and it's absolutely awesome. It is this thing that challenges you and really inspires you to do more."
The 114 ringers will ring more than 350 bells during their 14-song performance.
"All this music is probably harder than anything else I've ever played," Lewis said. "It is hard to play that many songs and remember all those songs, but it is even harder to get the muscle memory of playing them into the brain."
Since her acceptance, she's been practicing individually. More recently, she's been practicing with another group of ringers for two and a half hours on Saturdays, she said.
In the end, the experience will be about challenging themselves and having fun.
"It should be really cool and hopefully we're not too out of our class," Hersey said. "We're going to try, we're going to have fun and that is the main thing."

One of the debating points vis-à-vis Proposition 30, the tax hike that voters approved last month, was whether sharply increasing marginal income tax rates on a relative handful of high-income Californians would prove counterproductive by driving them out of the state.
Those rates are increasing by one to three percentage points, effective this year, and politicians count on them for about $5 billion per year in additional revenue.
Critics of the measure argued that the wealthy targets of the new taxes could easily avoid them by changing their residences to a state without income taxes, such as Nevada.
Supporters dismissed that criticism as fantasy, saying the high-tech entrepreneurs, movie stars and others who might be taxed enjoy living in California and would consider the extra levies as minor prices to pay.
No one knows, in fact, whether there would be a significant flight of wealthy tax refugees from the state, thereby undercutting the revenue assumptions.
We have anecdotal evidence that it could occur, such as the much-publicized decision of golfer Tiger Woods to relocate from California to income tax-free Florida or a court battle in Nevada over California inventor Gilbert Hyatt's move there to avoid taxes on royalties.
We also know, from a recent Census Bureau report, that there is already a significant exodus from California to Nevada, Florida, Texas and Washington – all states without income taxes – but don't know whether taxes play a significant role.
And then there's the rather intriguing research by two economists at Lynchburg College in Virginia into state-by-state comparisons of marginal income tax rates, showing California as having the highest rate due to the sharp increases in Proposition 30.
If there's no "fiscal cliff" deal to the contrary and higher federal income tax rates return in 2013, the economists reported, California's top combined federal-state marginal rate would be almost 52 percent, even after adjustment for the federal deductibility of state taxes.
That raises the possibility that while California's tax hike alone might not spark a flight of the wealthy from California, it could be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back if higher federal rates also kick in.
How difficult would it be, after all, for the high-tech executive living in Hillsborough to declare his ski resort condo in Nevada to be his primary residence, take out a Nevada driver's license, register to vote in that state and treat his California mansion as his vacation home?
A betrayal of the state that fueled his wealth? Perhaps, but consider this: California-based Google is using a front in Bermuda to avoid taxes on billions of dollars in European income.
Wouldn't Google's millionaires also avoid state taxes on themselves if they could?

Austin Price
On February 15, 2006 Austin-East's Anthony Anderson became the first Tennessee commitment for the 2007 class. He never looked at any other schools once he committed. It would be easy to say that he got lost in the shuffle buried beneath the Eric Berry's of the 2007 signing class, but he doesn't see it that way."I don't really pay attention to that because we are all going to be on the field at the same time. If I need to get somebody's attention, I'll get it," Anderson said with a laugh. Anderson has done it all for the Road Runners. He's been a one man show on the football field, played solidly at point guard for the basketball team, and he's been electrifying for the track team. ...More...

The committee heard testimony from the chairman of the Federal Reserve on the state of the U.S. economy. Mr. Greenspan said the economy is likely to "strengthen moderately" by the end of 1993, but said economic business is "dull" and unemployment would remain above 7 percent until 1993. He warned against using fiscal manipulations to strengthen the economy, and advocated a reduction in the capital gains tax rate to boost investment. Members of the committee were skeptical of Mr. Greenspan's optimistic predictions, citing his incorrect January 1992 prediction that the economy would improve in the second quarter of 1992. close

A new era for CPD – welcome to the future
CPD is changing, for the better. From April 2015 the SRA moves away from simple hours based CPD to a new competency system – solicitors will demonstrate how they have met their learning and development needs. Cilex has already adopted this system, and the Bar Standards Board is examining its future strategy. Chasing 12 or 16 hours CPD, in the last few weeks of the year, at inconvenient locations, but at great cost – it was crazy and it's now ended.
It is therefore time that we changed too. You'll get the same content, delivered online – waiting for you, whenever convenient, via our CrimeLine Complete platform.
CrimeLine Complete
CrimeLine Complete is our new knowledge platform, comprising market-leading textbooks, case and legislation databases, research resources and learning tools.
Many of you will be familiar with our Online CPD Product allowing you to obtain CPD hours by answering online quizzes – this has now been incorporated into CrimeLine Complete.
But CrimeLine Complete is more than this – setting your learning pathway for CPD, Learning and Development. Everyone will be able to obtain CPD via quizzes, and listen to podcasts and webinars. Simply studying our Updater emails will count towards CilEx and SRA competencies.
At a price you can afford
CrimeLine Complete is priced at £99+vat per user. So about the price of a traditional 3-hour update course (if you ignore the travel costs etc), yet including so much more. No other product comes close to providing a complete knowledge and training solution for criminal law practitioners.
So, it's not goodbye from us, it's welcome to the future
We will continue to run a very small number of face-to-face bespoke courses – but we were looking to the future long before it was announced – we are ready, so trial it with no obligation for 14 days.

I've had various critique partners over the years. Some have been friends, some not. Some stick around for a long time, others don't. It can be hard to maintain things what with schedules and life and, often, only being in touch through the internet. Vanessa Jaye is someone who's both critique partner, and friend, to me. And she has been for about 8 years. Despite not keeping in touch everyday, or sharing everything, she's one of my closest friends who has listened to me whine about balance, and weightloss and writing, and well…you get the idea. So, when she emailed me today, and I read the email, I asked her to post it here…Please welcome talented author, and my friend, Vanessa Jaye.
I've been striving to find balance in my life for some time now. Trust me, it's kinda hard to get the old creative juices flowing when your stress is at defcon level 1. Today a friend emailed me this list and it really struck a chord, enough so that I promptly forwarded the list to a bunch of other friends (Sasha included). I figure if we could all remember to do at least half this list on a consistent basis, we'd all be on a pretty even keel.
1. Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.
2. As long as you wake up in the morning, you have one more day to change your circumstances.
3. Pray or meditate.
4. Get enough rest. Go to bed on time.
5. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
6. Say 'No' to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
7. Delegate tasks to capable others.
8. Simplify and unclutter your life.
9. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
10. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
11. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
12. Take one day at a time.
13. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
14. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
15. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
16. Do something for the Kid in You every day.
17. Carry a Book with you to read while waiting in line.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Make friends with positive people.
24. Keep a folder of favorite sayings or scriptures on hand.
25. Laugh.
26. Laugh some more!
27. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
28. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
29. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
30. Sit on your ego.
31. Talk less; listen more.
32. Slow down.
33. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
34. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often gratitude. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.

Vanessa's Latest Release:
His darkest secret could be her only hope.
Tessa Archer is sick of sitting on the sidelines of life, but the man she's just met on her first Caribbean cruise is way out of her comfort zone. He's dazzlingly handsome, compelling…and she swears she can hear his voice in her head before he speaks.
When Nathan Barcza touches Tessa's hand, the jolt of recognition is unmistakable—and impossible. Werewolves mate only once—for life—and his mate was murdered by the creature he hunts, a Pithcus that hides somewhere aboard this ship. This is his final chance for vengeance.
The last thing he can afford is any distraction, but the siren call of Tessa's open heart is irresistible. It also makes her a target of the creature who's had a taste of her and wants more. To save her, Nate will have to unleash his last secret in a confrontation with no hope of survival.
For if the Pithcus doesn't kill him, Nate's partner is under orders to finish the job…

Just came across this NS windmill train and it blew my mind, I can totally see Lionel or MTH (maybe they already did?)coming out with a set like this. I would jump on it in a beat. I love the contrast of the train vs the modern alien-like forms of the windmills.
The have a large plant in Little Rock AR that makes these things. When they ship they make almost a unit train out of them.

DHS Diecast out of Berea, Ohio, has a true (or close to) 1/50th O scale wind turbine available, made in Germany, that looks awesome! They retail at around $360.00 each, and are special order only. One would need a sizable space to put one of these monsters, as they tower close to 30 plus inches tall. If they were not so darned expensive, I'd put a couple in my flower beds as a joke. Imagine the looks from my neighbors seeing these gently spinning in the summer breeze....... They'd probably think I was nuts, that is until I told them that these provide enough power that I actually sell electricity back to ComEd...LOL!
Santiago....very neat. That's one slow moving train.

Western Mountaineering Bison GWS
There's nothing wrong with a little overkill when you're serious about survival. I bought this bag two years ago for dead-of-winter camping in the mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. I wanted an overkill bag and decided to go all the way. The coldest temps I'm likely to see are maybe -10° on Stratton Bald. The coldest I have actually experienced was around 0° and this bundle of joy handled that with aplomb. I'm 5'9" and bought the regular 6 ft bag. The zipper is well conceived,… Full review

If you are crazy enough to winter camp in northern Minnesota (or most places in Canada for that matter) and want an affordable extreme cold-weather bag, this one should be high on your list. Look folks, -40 degrees is cold. I mean COLD. Few of us will ever get to experience it. I came close, though. During a week-long winter camping trip to the BWCA in northern Minnesota the night temps fell to -30°F, and probably a few degrees colder. Our group had two cotton tents, neither heated at night, and… Full review

Stephenson's Warmlite Triple bag is a top notch camping and backpacking sleep "system." While an old design, it is still unique in the market, has a wonderfully comfortable mattress, and covers an extremely wide temperature range due to the dual tops design, for a price that is very attractive if you consider the alternatives. After many years, it was time to upgrade to a new sleeping bag and pad. One of my sons decided to "confiscate" my old cold weather sleeping bag and cold weather pad,… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Lamina -30
Very warm bag, comfortable down to -20°F for women I'd say. Note that it is heavier than a down bag and doesn't compress down very small. Having used this sleeping bag in a cold cabin when outside temperatures were about -25°F, I feel this bag keeps one comfortably warm down to -20°F (women), although the technical rating is for -30° (survival temp). This bag has a storage pocket on the upper body (outside of bag). It would fit a flip phone of yesteryear but not my Galaxy s4. I use it for chapstick… Full review
Big Agnes Yellow Wall SL 0°
I spend most of the year in the hills and have used this bag exclusively for the last five. After owning and using a Big Agnes bag I will not use another brand. The product is well designed. The bag has been great. I have used it for five years, everywhere from Arizona to Oregon. It is the first Big Agnes bag that I have owned and now I will not use any other maker. Big Agnes equipment is built to be used and stand up to the demands of the outdoors. I am proud of all my Big Agnes gear. Full review

Good bag. I've spent approximately 400 nights in this bag so far, and have no complaints about anything but the zipper. It snags easily, and can be especially difficult to open when you're just waking up and trying to get out of the bag as soon as possible to escape the heat. The included compression sack is also useless. I didn't like the design, and one of the straps broke the first week. Ajungilak replaced it, but I prefer using a traditional compression sack instead. After 5 years of heavy… Full review
Big Agnes Crosho SL
Warm, cozy, light, compact. Performs very well. I'm used to using two bags in Minnesota during the cold season since it often reaches -20° F here in the winter. Packing in two bags, two pads, and other gear gets heavy and bulky. I fill up my 95L pack. If I hike in a long ways, I normally pull my bag in on a sled. At a compact 4lbs 1oz (long), I can finally pack in on my back. The bag repels water well. (I washed it after I bought it online. I hand kneaded water into it and it took forever… Full review

Incredible quality in materials and craftsmanship. Packs down very small and is very lightweight (under 5 lbs) for its temp rating of -40F.

Mine is an internal Timesheet Project ,using Jsp,Servlet,Ejb & Weblogic.
Before I shut down my server ,I should login as
administrator and should have a link which should give a
popup alert(preferably Java script alert) to all active
users who have logged in currently using their respected
username and warn them to logout after saving their
respected task?
I am unable to reach a concept for this alert box which shd
pop up dynamically to all active users in their respected
screen upon clicking that link, Can anybody suggest me a
way to proceed?
Re: got stuck with a concept?

Welcome to the official website of Kellie Larsen Murphy, author of the Detective Cancini Mystery series.
A GUILTY MIND has been a Top 100 Kindle Crime Mystery, Top 100 Kindle Hard-Boiled Mystery, and continues to expand on its international fan base. Here's what readers have to say about the first novel in the Cancini series:
"Part psychological thriller, part mystery, and totally seductive, A Guilty Mind sucks you in from the first page." – Mary Mitchell
"And I thought I had a screwy family…You won't be able to figure out this WHO DONE IT until the very end. Lots of twists and turns to keep you turning the pages." – David W. Harless
"I am a mystery/suspense/thriller addict and this book fed my addiction perfectly! The story starts fast and hard and doesn't let go until the very surprising end." – Jennifer Zuna
"…a tale worth the telling, a proverbial yarn that will make the reader do some thinking, and a fine way to engage in a private bedtime story read." Literary R&R
"A GUILTY MIND is a fantastic read that keeps you guessing until the end. The characters were fully developed and the story line pulled me from page to page always wanting to know what happens next. I hope to see Cancini at work again soon…" – Ronald Barden
Cancini is back in STAY OF EXECUTION, now available at Amazon and other online book sites.

December 1, 2015
(CBS/AP) PUNTA GORDA, Fla.- A South Florida woman was arrested on drug charges after she allegedly hid three rocks of crack cocaine under her dentures.
Charlotte County police officers say they made a traffic stop on Saturday after observing a pickup truck leave a known drug house.
They say Kimberly Maroney, the driver of the vehicle, appeared to be moving something around with her tongue inside of her mouth. When an officer asked her to open her mouth, he noticed she had two sets of dentures which he asked her to remove. That's when he spotted three large pieces of crack cocaine.
The 49-year-old Maroney was arrested on drug possession charges and later posted a $3,500 bond. It's unclear whether she's retained a crack attorney.

Behavior Economist
I am a behavior economist at the Consumer Analytics department at Altisource. I am also an affiliated research scientist at the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions (CRED), the Columbia University, and an affiliated research fellow at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center, University of Pennsylvania.
My main research interest is judgement and decision making. Most of my research incorporate both economic modeling and psychological factors. More information on my current research can be found on my research page here.
I am both an economist and a psychologist by training and received a Ph.D in Economics from the University of Wyoming (2007) and a Ph.D in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania (2009).
My inner curiosity towards both Homo economicus (Economic Man) and human nature determines my double identities and has guided my research. Thanks to rising new fields, such as decision making and behavior economics, there is a emerging bridge between economists and psychologists. I see myself as becoming a brick of the bridge.

Wii U not ready for prime time
As a game console, Nintendo's Wii U console has gotten mixed reviews. But as a living room digital media device, it's clearly not ready for prime time.
Nintendo has made digital entertainment a priority on the Wii U. At launch, the device was able to stream videos from Netflix, and Nintendo added an application for Hulu Plus days later. Earlier this month, Nintendo updated the console with an app called TVii, which is supposed to turn the Wii U into a portal for all your living room entertainment options.
With TVii, Nintendo promises to integrate both traditional and Internet content, allowing users to not only stream movies from Netflix or Hulu, but to control their TV and set-top box to tune in live or recorded programming.
With the app's "universal" search feature, Nintendo promises you'll quickly be able to find particular television shows or movies, no matter whether they're available on your pay TV service or on one of many different streaming providers. With its built-in social networking, you'll be able to comment on shows while watching them, via Facebook or Twitter. And thanks to the integration between the console and the controller, you'll be able to instantly switch between devices while viewing videos.
Unfortunately, many of these features are still works in progress, and TVii doesn't do half of what Nintendo promises it will do eventually.
Yes, you can use TVii to control your television and set-top box. But don't throw away your other remote controls just yet. TVii can only access basic functions on those devices, such as turning them on, changing their channels or adjusting the volume. If you want to do something more complicated, like adjusting your TV's brightness or calling up on-demand options on your set-top box, you'll have to go back to using those device's native remotes.
That's just one of the many limitations of the Wii U and TVii. Another is that you have only a small number of digital media providers you can access through the device. You won't find any digital music services such as Pandora or Spotify, nor video providers such as Crackle, Vudu or Crunchyroll. And unlike Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's Xbox 360, you can't supplement these offerings by using the Wii U to play DVD or Blu-ray movies or videos stored on a USB-attached drive.
Even the content you do have access to is limited in numerous ways.
For example, if you're using the TVii app, you can't search for or start movies from Netflix, because Netflix isn't yet incorporated into it. Instead, you have to fire up the Netflix application from the Wii U menu. Nintendo says that it will integrate Netflix into TVii sometime next year.
TVii does let users search for and access videos that are available from their pay TV provider, from Hulu and from Amazon.com. But TVii doesn't list videos that are available through Amazon Prime, the company's Netflix-like subscription movie streaming service. As with Netflix, to access Prime movies, you have to launch the Amazon Instant Video app from the Wii U's main menu.
Similarly, while TVii can tap into your set-top box's TV guide and show you what's on live TV or what will be airing soon, it can't access programs you've recorded on your DVR and doesn't include shows or movies available on-demand from your pay TV provider. Nintendo says it plans to add access to TiVo's DVR next year and is working on providing access to other DVRs in the future.
But even with live programming, TVii comes up short. The app would occasionally list programs I couldn't access because I don't subscribe to the channels they were airing on. On other occasions, particularly with sports, it would tell me I didn't have access to shows that I actually could watch.
On top of all that, the app's interface is frustrating and confusing to use. There's no discernible organization to the shows the app displays in its movie or TV sections, which can lead to a lot of swiping trying to find particular ones. Meanwhile, I often found shows listed in TVii's "live" programming sections that wouldn't be aired until minutes, hours or days into the future.
To be sure, the Wii U just launched, and Nintendo plans to continue to update the TVii feature. So I'm sure it will improve in the future. But right now, if you're looking for a digital entertainment device for your living room, the Wii U isn't the ticket.

A construction barge sits Wednesday near the foot of the Tappan Zee Bridge in South Nyack. / Seth Harrison/The Journal News
Construction barges and materials dot the Hudson River along the Tappan Zee Bridge as New York prepares to build a new river crossing to replace the aging structure.
The project is expected to take five years, but already in this newborn stage safety concerns are growing.
Two were killed when a boat crashed into a barge at night; a criminal probe continues. The victims families blamed poor lighting. Although officials say the barges met Coast Guard regulations, lighting was quickly added.
High above, drivers often slow to see the ever-shifting construction zone on the water. Many worry this river rubbernecking will cause accidents, especially as more construction equipment is located in the Hudson and lanes are closed.
Join lohud for a live chat at 12:30 p.m. ET Wednesday with reporters Khurram Saeed and Theresa Juva-Brown, and Opinion Editor Nancy Cutler, to discuss the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project.

Like the topic says. We're thinking of adding a few new forums to the site, and this is one of the ideas that has come up multiple times. What do you guys think? Obviously this would not be a trading community of any sort, it'd just be for discussion of music related issues that are normally outside the scope of other HA topics. It seems that there have been an increasing number of these topics being made in the off-topic section to the point where they may warrant their own special forum even.

The kind of users we would attempt to restrict using such a TOS would be the same type of users who aren't going to read it anyway!
A logical concern, but that's what warnings followed by bans are for. It's just a matter of how "busy" this will make moderators if the forum gets too many *nasties*. If it's too much to manage, then maybe an off-site HA music forum would make more sense, as you suggest.
I just think it's worth a try here, that's all. Then again, I've never administrated or moderated a web forum before, so I'm just being a blind optimist to some extent.
One more thing to consider (and HA is the *only* forum I've ever been on that this is the case), many HA members occasionally act as moderators, reminding people who may get out of hand about HA rules. (I've even done it once or twice, and I've only been a member a few weeks.) The sense of "order" here tends to make the members who try to provide value to the community protect that sense of order. So, maybe HA regulars in the music forum will serve to keep a balance against any potential troublemakers from elsewhere, and perhaps ease the burden on the real moderators. Just a thought...

Reality check –
When am I me?
When I'm alone I'm who I want to be
When I'm dreaming I'm who I wish I could be
When I'm with friends I'm sympathetic, empathic and emulating
I do as I'm told, I act as others see fit
My moves are not my own,
My passions designed and bestowed unto me
My speech repeats what others say
My silence hides things for which I'm ashamed
Is my shame my own?
Do my tears flow freely?
Should I believe what I say or what I think?
Who is me?

Thanks for the fast update
Working smoothly except in a case of multi-artist release like this http://www.discogs.com/release/630496, 'album artist' tag is not written. Didn't test this with earlier version so not sure if its intended or a bug.
Shows promise, this database even has some asian songs (very limited).
Discogs is as large as its users make it so go ahead and contribute some releases.
EDIT: Found a bug. Every time I restart foobar some mappings reset to defaults (maybe all). Tag mapping editing panel still shows the old settings

Tshwane drivers caught stealing binsComment on this story
Pretoria - Four truck drivers employed by the City of Tshwane were arrested on Friday for allegedly stealing metal skip bins worth R7 million, a spokesman said.
They allegedly sold them to a scrap metal dealer in Akasia, where they were cut into pieces and taken to Durban Harbour to be shipped overseas, spokesman Selby Bokaba said in a statement.
The drivers were arrested at the Pretoria West waste management depot.
Last Wednesday, senior officials from the city's waste and environmental department visited the bin yard at the depot as part of a routine inspection. They noticed some of the old bins, which needed refurbishing, were missing.
The city's forensic audit executive director Dorothy Mmushi discovered that 52 bins had gone missing since January.
"Through the tracking devices installed in our trucks we managed to trace where the bins were being delivered to and we solicited the assistance of the Hawks," Mmushi said.
They went to the scrap metal dealer and found people cutting up the bins.
"When they saw us, they fled the scene. Some of the bins had already been loaded onto the truck destined for Durban Harbour from where they would be shipped abroad as scrap metal."
The dealer's owner allegedly confessed to buying the bins for R4 000 each from the city's truck drivers.
"The owner has been co-operating with us and the police. The metal skip bins are worth R120 000 each", Mmushi said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has warned Congress not to rush plans for an early 2009 stimulus package, in order to avoid "wasting" taxpayers' money.
His comments come after one of President-elect Barack Obama's advisers said that the total cost of an economic stimulus plan could reach $775 billion.
McConnell suggested that instead of immediate consideration, any proposals should be considered for at least a week by Congress and the public due to its enormous price tag.
"As a result, it will require tough scrutiny and oversight. Taxpayers, already stretched to the limit, deserve nothing less," he said.
Meanwhile, Representative John Boehner has also urged Democrats to be cautious about pork-barrel spending during these challenging times.
As an alternative to Obama's plan to spend on infrastructure, Boehner has suggested increasing the child tax credit for families and cutting the capital gains, small business and corporate taxes.
Democrats said that a stimulus package will be a priority during Obama's first 100 days in office.

If you take away the sheer panels, low v-shape and perfect human specimen wearing it, Chrissy Teigen's top is just your average granny bra.
The straps are wide. The boob covers have that vintage, "cross your heart" shape. It's even in boring ivory versus sexy black or red. And yet somehow on the supermodel, it looks like the world's sexiest ta-ta support. We don't know whether to credit the creative time at ADEAM or the parents who blessed this beauty with her body!
NEWS: Check out Neil Patrick Harris' amazing Grammys photobomb of Chrissy and John!
Part of what makes this simple top pop are the other elements of the ensemble. That pale cream skirt has such a sophisticated look thanks to the straight cut, but a well-placed side slit makes it total vixen wear. Same goes for the elegant blazer. The newly married lady casually slings it over her shoulders for a natural, I wake up looking like this feel. Slightly messy locks support that cause, and simple pointy toed shoes finishes it off expertly.
So Chrissy, if you're reading, please turn this fashion moment into a line of wearable, chic sports bras! You'll have every gym bunny in the world as your customer.

Rao on Voice of America: Too Early to Predict Supreme Court Swing to Right
Despite contentions that the appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito have caused the U.S. Supreme Court to veer sharply to the right, Professor Neomi Rao told Voice of America it is too early to make that kind of prediction.
In her dissent, Rao, who clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas, cited what she perceives to be displeasure on the parts of Justices Scalia and Thomas for the more moderate pace of the Court in approaching some of its liberal precedents.
Conservatives Hold Edge on US Supreme Court, Voice of America, July 11, 2007. By Jim Fry.
"Moderates and liberals on the court won five of the one-vote margins. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens, Steven Breyer and David Souter were joined in those rulings by Kennedy.
"In one example, they ruled the federal government can limit car emissions in order to control gasses that contribute to global warming.
"Kennedy -- on the winning side in every close case -- has become the court's crucial swing vote. But Turley says he is tacking rightward. 'In many ways, Justice Kennedy has sort of run home. He has become a more reliable conservative.'
"In their confirmation hearings, Chief Justice Roberts and Alito both told the U.S. Senate they were inclined to follow the legal doctrine called 'stare decisis' -- a principle based on established legal precedent.
"Some conservatives say the Roberts court has not boldly overturned precedents established by a more liberal court two or more decades ago. And Rao, who clerked for Thomas, says both he and Scalia appear irritated and unhappy.
"'Some of the concurring opinions -- especially the ones that Justice Scalia wrote -- were rather angry and very critical of the chief justice's "pose" of minimalism,' says Rao.
"The court made an abrupt turn on two cases involving civil liberties. It tightened limits on student speech -- allowing a school administrator to punish high school students who unfurled a banner interpreted as celebrating drug use.
"And justices limited the ability of schools to assign students on the basis of race in efforts to integrate public schools. It is a decision that could affect classrooms across the U.S. 'Literally, there are hundreds -- if not thousands -- of ways race is used. All of those are now suspect and so it can mean a very significant change,' Turley said.
"Change is what President Bush promised on the court. Even as his popularity and power now wane, Mr. Bush's new justices will guide the law for a generation or more."

Sorry Pauline, there's this thing called the First Amendment
I wonder what the Americans made of a British baroness telling them to slap restrictions on what can be shown on YouTube. Lady Neville-Jones is the security minister, and v worked up about Anwar al-Awlaki, whose sermons were cited by Roshonara Choudry as the inspiration for her attempt to murder the Labour MP Stephen Timms. Al-Awlaki's sermons are big on YouTube, in part because he speaks fluent English. Lady N-J flew to Washington last week and in a talk at the Brookings Institute said the Americans should act against videos that incite murder. Specifically, she called on President Barack Obama's administration to "take down this hateful material" in cases where servers were based in the US. She said websites that "incite cold-blooded murder" would "categorically not be allowed in the UK". This is the gist of what she said:
"When you have incitement to murder, when you have people actively calling for the killing of their fellow citizens and when you have the means to stop that person doing so, then I believe we should act. Those websites would categorically not be allowed in the UK.
"They incite cold-blooded murder and as such are surely contrary to the public good. If they were hosted in the UK then we would take them down but this is a global problem. Many of these websites are hosted in America and we look forward to working even more closely with you to take down this hateful material."
Al-Awlaki certainly is hateful and the Government is rightly worried about the influence his videos have on impressionable (or as the 7/7 inquest reveals, downright thick) Britons, Muslim or otherwise. But when I hear an unelected politician whose background is marked by the elite world of Whitehall aristocracy talk of limiting free expression, I want to reach for my luger keyboard. I suspect Americans will to. I suspect they will point Baroness N-J towards the First Amendment, the greatest of all constitutional declarations:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
And they might then ask her gently what she is doing about radicalised Muslims on her side of the Atlantic and the worrying traffic between sections of the Pakistani Mulism community here and parts of al-Qa'eda controlled Pakistan, the ease with which extremist preachers can operate in London, and the Government's vascillation over control orders. Videos don't kill people…
UPDATE @11.30: But, hey, what do I know….
