Detox Formula is a blend of Triphala and Green Coffee Bean extract to gently detoxify the body while promoting fat metabolism and weight loss. It contains 1000 mg Triphala which is said to aid digestion, reduce appetite and counter obesity. It also contains 400 mg Green Coffee Bean extract standardized at 50% Chlorogenic Acid. Chlorogenic acid has been shown to promote burning of fat in the liver and inhibit fat absorption.
Congestion and improper functioning of bodily tissues, especially the liver and the digestive system, can contribute to weight gain. Triphala is said to enhance liver function by improving the secretion of bile, which is essential for metabolizing fats. And a bonus: studies also show that Triphala can increase nutrient absorption from food! Detox Formula combines Triphala with Green Coffee Bean Extract, which researchers believe promotes fat loss.
Green Coffee Bean (Coffea arabica) — contains Chlorogenic Acid, which has been shown to enhance fat metabolism in the liver and in the digestive system.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) — shown to be necessary for the formation of collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. It may also help the body absorb iron. Believed to be an essential nutrient and an antioxidant that helps protect cells from environmental damage.
Triphala — a popular Ayurvedic remedy used for hundreds of years, is a blend of three dried and powdered medicinal fruits (Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki) that are believed to work synergistically as a gentle detoxifying tonic. Together, they have been shown to act as a mild laxative that cleanses and tones the gastrointestinal tract. Triphala is believed to aid digestion, reduce appetite and counter obesity. May also have antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.

Whey protein isolate, high quality protein
- 30g of whey protein per serving
- 3g of Creatine Monohydrate
- Digestive Enzyme Complex
- Extremely low in fat and carbohydrate
What is Nitro-Tech Performance Series?
Nitro-Tech Performance Series of Muscletech is an excellent protein source made of whey protein enriched with Creatine Monohydrate and Amino Acids.
This formula is designed for sportsmen and athletes who need an optimal recovery after the training session to also face upcoming events in perfect conditions.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series is available in delicious flavours, its easy to dissolve and it provides an excellent texture.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series will make you notice results since the very first day.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series and Whey Protein
Whey protein is the protein source with the highest Bv, which means the amount of essential amino acids it contains, as well as the utilization degree by our organism. In this regard, whey got the number one position so we can figure how important it is for sports and active people.
This whey protein includes Whey Protein Isolate, which is the protein that delivers the highest amount of protein per service with the lowest percentage of lactose and fat. Its manufacturing process is what keeps protein fractions intact, proviging important health benefits: immune system support, anti-inflammatory action, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, gut flora improvement, intestine system improvement, iron transport, etc.
Whey Protein Isolate is the purest protein with the greatest proteic proportion, having the highest biological value, which means it contains the whole amino acid profile (essential and non-essential) besides being an easy digestion protein.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series features
Each serving of Nitro-Tech Performance Series contains protein from Whey Isolate, ultra-filtered Whey Concentrate, and a part of Whey Isolate Hydrolysate with just 1g of carbohydrates and 1.5 of fat, almost insignificant values. Nitro-Tech Performance Series has been manufactured using a filtration method called 'Multi-Phase Filtration Technology' to reduce the content of fat, lactose and other traces.
Quick absorption
This is an ideal feature that everyone looks for in any product theyre going to take after training, among other moments. After the training session, ideal que buscamos en un producto que lo vamos a tomar, entre otros momentos, nitrogen recovery and readjustment will start up by supplying elements specially destined for such processes. Protein and amino acid release will occur very fast, getting into the bloodstream and muscle fibre in a very short period of time.
Optimizing absorption
Thanks to the digestive enzyme complex composed of Papain and Amylase, they will be a strong support to enhance protein digestion, as well as a better utilization. Protein is important, but we can still improve its later digestion and absorption.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series Composition
Nitro-Tech Performance Series is an excellent protein formula from 2 important sources:
- Whey protein isolate
- Whey protein concentrate
- Amino acid matrix
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Alanine
- Glycine
- BCAAs
- Glutamine
Nitro-Tech Performance and AA support
Nitro-Tech Performance Series contains a group of amino acids to enhance this formula:
Creatine monohydrate
This is one of the main aids to improve strength and muscle recovery. It participates as energy substrate to contribute to supporting high intensity and short periods of time. One of the main functions is to keep ATP deposits for a quick absorption between training series.
This is the second most used amino acid in protein synthesis processes besides being the most used to produce glucose during the training session.
This amino acid participates in biological processes, stimulating structure and component formations in our organism, such as proteins and creatine, and it even supports cellular hydration.
This is a 3 amino acid group: Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine. They make up around a third part of skeletal muscle and are involved in the recovery processes and protein synthesis stimulation.
This a non-essential amino acid, that is, in some occasions like high intensity training and muscle wear, its synthesis process can get affected. Its intake will quickly increase plasma levels and enhance the hormonal environment for a correct process of muscle regeneration.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series Benefits
Nitro-Tech Performance Series provides several benefits to be seen in sports performance:
- Accelerates recovery
- Increases strength
- Increases muscle mass
Nitro-Tech Performance Series and Recovery Speed
Thanks to its high protein content and its excellent aminogram rich in BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids), along with Glutamine, it will get supplied with essential nutrients for protein synthesis and fibre regeneration. Facing intense activities, we can provoke micro-tears. If we quickly take part in this physiological damage, it will be mitigated and will shorten the recovery process, which is something ideal to keep up with training.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series and Strength Increase
Each serving of Nitro-Tech Performance Series contains 3g of Creatine Monohydrate to restore ATP. This is the energy substrate for high intensity and short duration exercises. This combination of whey protein and creatine enhances great strength results.
Motor unit recruitment (muscle fibres) produces a high emptying of muscle energy deposits. Therefore, if we quickly refill them, potential energy will be again available for use.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series and Muscle Mass Growth
Muscle growth is preceded by a correct and appropriate stimulus that is to generate a series of muscle adaptations. Among these adaptations we find the alteration of the entire neuromuscular system, besides enhancing hypertrophy - in case we train to that end -. Amino acids will be the units required by our organism to start reconstruction and muscle growth phases.
Nitro-Tech Performance Series, Who Benefits?
Nitro-Tech Performance Series can be used by both professionals and amateurs who are seeking to satisfy their nutritional demands, an optimal recovery and a quality muscle growth.
In addition, those who rather consume a protein source of the best quality, fat-low and highly pure to help body composition, will hit the nail on the head by choosing Nitro-Tech Performance Series.

Retail Wheeling: A Guide for End-Users
Retail wheeling describes the ability of a retail electricity consumer -- the end-user -- to purchase electricity from the supplier of choice in a competitive market. This definitive book sheds light on what retail wheeling is, what it means to end-users, how it will work, and what you need to know to take advantage of it. The commitment of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to competitive energy markets resulted in open access transmission tariffs (FERC Orders 888 and 889). This expanded second edition details how Orders 888 and 889 will impact end-users. The state-by-state status of retail wheeling initiatives also has been revised and updated. This guide is divided into two sections: (1) a background of the industry and the development of retail wheeling, and (2) the "nuts and bolts" of how to buy electricity in an unbundled, competitive electricity market.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Looking for a rain gear compromise
Dec 27, 2007 at 8:49 am #1226458
Okay, this is the last question for awhile. I was wondering what there might be out there for rain gear that is both somewhat light and yet durable. I like my Marmot Oracle Rain Jacket and Pants (heavy and durable) and also my DriDucks rain suit (light and thin) but I would love to get something that lays more in the middle of the extremes if possible. And don't even suggest anything over $200 because it will not happen. Thanks everyone for their help so far.Dec 27, 2007 at 9:02 am #1413825
I tell you, I've had my Driducks for four years now — and these fragile-looking, fragile-feeling tops and bottoms still look like new! I bet yours are holding up well too?
But yeah, psychologically, we want something more "solid". I have a MontBell Peak Shell jacket which is extremely breathable ($198). But the jacket I think you should look at is the MontBell Particle jacket — at just half the price. Looking at the specs, this jacket features a very highly breathable wp/b coating. MontBell makes good products.Dec 27, 2007 at 9:35 am #1413830
You don't need to tell me about DriDucks, I am up to 3 different suits. Just trying to have the color match the environment I am in some.Dec 27, 2007 at 9:52 am #1413833

Dave HeissBPL Member
@daveheissLocale: Pacific Northwest
I use a pair of O2 Rainwear (yes, the screaming yellow color) that's held up very well for 4 hiking seasons now. I did get a minor tear in the jacket last year from scrambling under some downed trees, but it was an easy fix with seamsealer. If you want some raingear that's really light (11oz for the large jacket and pants), can double as a windproof layer AND emergency signaling device, it'll do the job nicely.Dec 27, 2007 at 1:42 pm #1413869
The Montbell is too short.
The O2 is basically DiDucks.
The Zealot and the Virga look promising but can people vouch for the durability?
Thanks everyone.Dec 27, 2007 at 2:23 pm #1413876
Brad RogersBPL Member
@mocs123Locale: Southeast Tennessee
The North Face Diad might fit the bill. It is light, and havn't heard anyone complain about the durability of it. I think it was discontinued as it seems hard to find, but if you wear a XL here it is on sale
The Golite Virga would probably be a good choice too, but it seems it has too been discontinued.
The Sierra Designs Isotope might be a third option, but I know that early versions were not very breathable or even waterproof. They may have improved on it by now.Dec 27, 2007 at 3:07 pm #1413881
Golite stuff is either Goretex — which is "highly breathable" in Goretex market literature but not in reality — or Golite's own Alchemy — which is even less breathable than Goretex.
I too have the SD Isotope. Nice cut and color, light as heck. I had the 2006 version which was a disaster. After complaining to SD's Warranty Dept., I got a 2007 replacement. It's more or less waterproof (much better than 2006 anyway) but just barely breathable. If you buy it, hike as slow as you can — and don't hike uphill.
Some figures for comapison:
MontBell Particle – 15,000 g / m2 / 24 hrs
Goretex XCR – 13,000
Marmot Precip – 8,000 or 10,000
Alchemy – 8,000 or 10,000
SD Isotope – 3,000
What do those numbers really mean in real life? Beats me. But they at least serve an illustrative purpose when compared together.
Finally, my understanding is that eVENT — being air permeable — tends to be the most breathable, followed by MontBell Breeze Dry Tec, which is also air permeable. After that comes MontBell's wp/b coating, the various versions of Goretex, and then the various proprietary wp/b coatings in some descending order.
eVENT and Montbell Breeze Dry Tec lead the pack because they've managed to be rainproof without the need of a PU layer or coating, unlike all the rest.Dec 27, 2007 at 4:16 pm #1413890
I too would possibly like an eVent jacket someday but I think the only thing that will come close is the ID Thru Hiker, possibly. And I am just not going to spend $260 on one of the XLs in green. Montbell doesn't make anything that fits me. Thats why I like using the DriDucks and modifying them.Dec 27, 2007 at 5:05 pm #1413897
Too bad about the MontBell. Maybe Ebay is a good place for lightly-used ID eVENT jackets?
Curious, what kinds of mods do you do with your Driducks? I am thinking of adding a removable visor — with velcros.Dec 27, 2007 at 5:54 pm #1413900

@brett1234Locale: CA
Brett, another vote for TheNorthFace Diad (Hyvent). My Diad works for me in all four seasons. The Hyvent fabric is a good compromise of light weight, durability, and breathability. Rolls up smaller than a soda can.
I got matching full-zip pants for winter use, also Hyvent.
Jacket about $140 in all sizes
Hyvent pants around $70+ but shop around for your size
http://www.gearzone.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=207-17003&click=5096Dec 27, 2007 at 6:14 pm #1413901
I've no direct experience with the TNF DIAD, but have been interested in its very light weight — just 8 oz. However, I can no longer find any info about it on TNF's website. Interestingly, the home page shows a picture of one, but the link is dead. Maybe TNF has discontinued it?
But googling the jacket gotTNF's Asia Pacific page. In any case, Hyvent DT wp/b PU coating has a very low breathability number — just 877 g / m2 / 24 hrs. (compared to 13,000 for Goretex) I got this number from this TNF page. Very intriguing — and confusing.Dec 27, 2007 at 8:24 pm #1413912
You could do that but mine doesn't bother me too much. I usually replace the drawstring with a lighter version and a toggle. I will usually stretch the material on the arms an extra inch to help me out. I usually cut the elastic cord on the wrists because it always rides up on me. I then just usually put two small pieces of velcro on the ends so I can cinch it or leave it open for venting. I have played around with putting an elastic cinch or drawstring on the bottom but it just never works out that good because to get a good fit you would have to retailor the cut. I usually try to redo the collar a bit so it closes better using two small pieces of velcro again.
I swear the new green color looks and feels like those old vinyl kitchen table cloths.Dec 27, 2007 at 8:31 pm #1413913
The guy that you are supposed to talk to about eVent at the company will not be back until next Wed and I am just going to give him a piece of my mind about the fabric and what it is being used for. The guy I talked to yesterday pretty much summed it up by saying that they are keeping a lid on the usage just for marketing purposes. When I asked a lower guy how much was on a usual 20×20 roll and how much it costs to figure out how much these companies are gouging, he was unable to tell me so I am hoping the big chief will be able to. It would just be nice to get made items from a custom worker without it being astronomical or not possible.
Maybe on my next road trip I will stop by KC when I know these guys will be there just so I can give them a piece face to face.Dec 27, 2007 at 9:40 pm #1413919

Brett, the North Face Hyvent Diad jacket in XL size is only $119, with free shipping, at altrec.com:
I just bought this — thanks for your referral. I looked around to get the weight, it is only 8.5 oz, definitely in the range I like, better than the SD Thru Hiker which at XL is around 11 oz and a lot more expensive.Dec 28, 2007 at 11:04 am #1413948
The zealot is looking like it is the only one that will fit but how well does PacLite breathe?Dec 28, 2007 at 11:55 am #1413954
Goretex Paclite — mediocre. Should be better than Golite Alchemy, but not nearly as breathable as eVENT.
Not that you asked, but I'd rather wait for something with eVENT to go on sale — or look around Ebay.

FORTY-ONE kindergarten pupils from Fairview School Brunei comprising Kindergarten 1, 2, and 3 pupils visited Fun Bee Park as part of its annual school trip yesterday.
During the visit, themed 'Underwater', the pupils had the opportunity to do art craft, edible art games and bubbles.
The fun tour started with the first station which was the art corner.
The pupils were divided into groups and supervised by their teachers and the centre's instructors.
They learned the creative clay art crafting related to the theme. The craft materials were made of mostly recycled and upcycled items.
They were also taught to make a clay figurine of a fish using colourful wood clay kits.
Fun Bee Park's kitchen was filled with quick, easy cooking and baking tools for pupils who want to learn more about cooking and baking.
They got their hands busy by making healthy sandwiches with 'Underwater' art theme on their sliced breads.
The pupils got to bring home their sandwiches filled with fruity jam and cheese.
The fun continued with exciting games and bubble play at the third station where the pupils stretched their arms, did some exercises and played with their classmates. Team work and coordination was the concept of the games.
The activities concluded with a handover of goodie bags, a courtesy of the centre's management, to the pupils.
Cecilia Lee, Fun Bee Park's Activity Consultant, expressed her appreciation and gratitude to Fairview School Brunei for choosing the centre as its activity partner for the school's educational trip.
At the end of the visit, the pupils posed for a group photo to remember their time at the educational play centre in Fun Bee Park.
Fun Bee Park is catered for children aged three and above. It is considered to be a one-stop venue for fun and creative educational activities and the centre not only focuses on arts and crafts, baking and the culinary arts.

Tsolen: Good question
" Ok so I have too..." I paused the halfbreed smelled of Vladimire, another ancient demon that rarely materializes and fights here, " Isn't obviouse? The books have been opened and for that matter being read by a human, and to further that even more, that is attracting ancient enemies, like you friend Vladimire and other problems the gods struggeled with. But I can credit you that is a good question. Is that good enough?" I say.
" Wait your telling me as an immortal perhaps the last on earth, and you supposed to be helping with these books , and no one here has seen you ever." The kid replies.
" Well the books aren't my duty really. However these enemies and magics that are emmerging are. Before you go call me lazy I quite agree , I could have come sooner , and perhaps have come out of the works years ago." I say.
The kid nods, I wasn't sure I was just assuming he thought I was lazy.
" Well it still early to say whats going on but perhaps we should make a visit to you home." I looked at the girl she wasn't crying anymore but she definetly looked upset at the snake kid. So thats what must have been her problem. For me that was thousands of years ago when I felt emotions for others. I look at the both of them.
" I will leave if you want. I already know where you live so I'll see you there."
Atleast I still remembered what it was like when those things came to other people.

Tim Ingham, editor of Music Week
Hold on a tick, my wobbly podium needs stabilising: I'm painfully aware of being a middle-class white male defending the election of a middle-class white male atop an urban music countdown. So it's probably wise to promptly turn to a great black entertainer for help: as Chris Rock remarked about another moment of questionable justice, the verdict of the OJ Simpson trial: "That shit wasn't about race. That shit was about fame." Ed Sheeran might be an unlikely protege of the UK urban music scene, but that doesn't mean his robust credentials in this realm should be retrospectively scrubbed away. Indeed, you could argue that a pasty ginger kid from Suffolk had to work especially hard, be especially good, to earn patronage from 1Xtra and online music channel SBTV's unforgiving communities. Sheeran didn't (and couldn't) leverage any racial privilege to secure this endorsement. He did it all with a much purer weapon – talent. These fans remain at the nucleus of his following, but his fame has now blossomed into a global superstardom which trumps anyone else in the UK urban music fraternity. A white boy topping a "black music" power list is bound to be contentious, but in this case it's a reasonable decision.
Elijah, DJ label owner, writer and broadcaster on Rinse FM
Should Ed Sheeran have topped a chart of artists that 1Xtra has supported from early in their careers to measure their success in the present day? Yes. Should he top a chart that calls him the most influential person in black and urban music? No. 1Xtra has now stated it didn't claim the latter. I think people are having a clarity issue regarding what the list is supposed to represent, achieve, and then in turn look at 1Xtra in the same way. A Radio 1 top five could have been pretty much the same. Platforms like 1Xtra are always associated with representing artists that aren't recognised in the mainstream world and I think they have missed an opportunity to promote a strong list of artists who are currently making waves that are not necessarily on every playlist across the country. Turning it into a race argument is a really simple way of looking at it.
TI But don't Sheeran's career origins, especially that support from 1Xtra and SBTV, make him a worthy winner because he's still anchored in the urban scene? I agree with you over the lack of clarity in what 1Xtra's power list refers to, but with these imprecise parameters, Sheeran's achievements – a US chart-topping album, selling out Madison Square Garden, 10 million Twitter followers – make him a justifiable No 1.
E I am a working-class black male, who is also an active DJ championing grime music on Rinse FM, and in the clubs every week among different artists. You would struggle to find one artist in our scene of any racial background, which I'd say makes up a big proportion of what people consider UK Urban Music today who would agree with this. Do you think there is any privilege in having a racial advantage on being on a niche platform like 1Xtra and SBTV? You suggest it; like it makes him an even better artist because of the route in which he was discovered, and I don't think that is the case, even though he is undeniably exceptionally talented.
TI Clearly I don't believe Ed Sheeran's UK urban music pedigree inherently makes him a better artist – much of his output is too saccharine for my tastes. I do, however, think his shatterproof connection with UK urban music renders him an important, unique and, yes, very powerful representative of the scene worldwide.
To a large section of British music fans, Sheeran's gigantic success has seemed to "come out of nowhere". I certainly don't need to tell you that the British urban music scene isn't nowhere; it's just sadly off the radar to many people who bow to pop or indie-fixated sources to inform their musical identity. As such, Sheeran is dragging an audience ignorant of UK urban music one step closer to giving this oft-thrilling scene its due attention. I completely appreciate that he's not as musically influential as Wiley, as skilled as Skepta or as exciting as Ghetts. But he's upped the chances of all of these artists to get heard by a hitherto hesitant audience – and sold a shedload of his own records while he's been at it.
E That's right. Urban music is sadly off the radar to British music fans, and if they take a look at this, it doesn't look like they are missing much. So it further puts it in the background. For most people, discovering Ed Sheeran won't lead them to find Wiley, Skepta or anyone else on this list. For example, Spotify-related artists to Ed come up as Taylor Swift, One Direction and Coldplay. On YouTube it's the same, and that's how most of his fan base would be hearing him now, way beyond 1xtra. It doesn't help educate people about what UK urban music really is in 2014. You can see on every article these "what is black music? Music doesn't have colour" comments. It feels like a redundant concept to a lot of people, probably because of a lack of education in the roots of where, how and when the music they listen to today was started and developed. That is at the centre of the issue.
TI I agree that UK urban music gets a rough ride: the number of white acts popularising styles pioneered by black musicians remains unnerving. (Even worse: recent government data showed just 7% of employees in the UK music and performing arts industries are non-white – a power list worth serious scrutiny.) And yet, Sheeran is a legitimate servant of the urban scene, one who has continued to collaborate with grime artists and who initially shunned more sure-fire, bourgeois springboards into the charts. This came to a head in early 2012, when the NME unleashed an embarrassing "How shit is Ed Sheeran?" campaign on Twitter. The subtext? We never ordained this cultural upstart, let's slaughter him. But the NME had around 400,000 followers, Sheeran more than 6 million. The collision of entitled indie bellwether with urban music phenomenon wasn't pretty. But it was a loud indication that the UK urban scene deserves more mainstream acknowledgment – and why Sheeran's a justified, if improbable, talisman for the cause.
E You see the problem? None of this should be the focus. This hasn't done any good for the scene at all. It has shone a light on problems that we have reaching the wider music world, and most people from our scene are just sitting back and accepting it because they feel powerless. Who cares what the NME thinks in 2014, especially from an urban perspective? We have never cared. It's clear to us that, of people working in the music industry, only 7% are non-white . They produce lists like this, and tell the rest of us it's OK.
Even in the reporting of it across so many platforms there have barely been any non-white industry professionals writing about it. We have people covering it as a "story" because they have nothing emotionally invested in seeing this music develop. It is a multi-layered issue that usually comes up around black history month and Mobo awards time in October. It is an issue bigger than Ed Sheeran, bigger than all the artists on the list and 1Xtra. It's an identity issue, something not everyone will understand.

Proactive contingency can save money for vehicle manufacturers during summer shutdowns
New approach to supply chain management can safeguard vehicle manufacturers' production and avoid slowdown of industry growth
"Every year we are required to provide just-in-time delivery expertise for OEMs who encounter supply problems during the summer shutdowns, but proactive planning in early to mid summer can safeguard vehicle manufacturers'
Proactive over-production to increase buffer stocks that can bridge shortfall of supply, component failure or unforeseen losses is one way that can mitigate supply chain failure. Successful implementation relies on visibility of suppliers' operations by the vehicle manufacturer, to fully broaden the understanding of which companies supply to whom, when and how frequently at all stages of production.
"Appreciation of individual supply chain nuances and clarity of operations allow for a more fluid process that naturally leads to a more robust supply chain – if vehicle manufacturers can achieve an overall view of logistics operations throughout its Tier suppliers, then individual links can work together to provide a unified contingency:
"Proactively increasing buffer stocks is reliant on suppliers having the capacity to meet increasing demand, which is especially time sensitive as more vehicle manufacturers are moving to intensified, 24-hour schedules, which of course places heightened pressure on suppliers. Long-lead times, unwillingness or an inability of manufacturers to place orders further in advance, due to factors such as variance of model or specification, makes it more crucial to implement such plans as early as possible."
Common obstacles that prevent successful exploitation of buffer stocks as contingency include forecasting, costs, lack of infrastructure during shutdown and supplier capacity. To further reduce the risk of supply chain disruption, emergency logistics expertise is able to provide a time critical safety net. Should proactive contingency planning fail to provide a sufficient buffer, specialist knowledge of premium freight, just-in-time delivery methods and International legislation can combine to provide the most efficient resolution and avoid costly reputational or physical costs through delayed delivery.

text: HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CAMAC Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: CAK) today announced a net loss of $4.4 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the same period in 2012, CAMAC Energy reported a net loss of $4.0 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share. Operating revenues for the Company were $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to $0 for the same period in 2012. The increase in 2013 was due to increased oil sales, as there was not a lifting in the prior year period. Average daily gross production for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was 2,329 barrels of oil per day, versus 2,786 barrels of oil per day during the second quarter of 2012. CAMAC Energy's net share of average daily production during the second quarter of 2013 was 199 barrels of oil per day compared to 461 barrels of oil per day during the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2013, there was one oil lifting from Oyo Field of approximately 220,000 barrels, 18,800 net to the Company's interest, at a sales price of approximately $103 per barrel. In the second quarter of 2012, there were no oil liftings. General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in the second quarter of 2013 versus the same period in 2012 was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits and increased consulting expenses. Update on Operations Nigeria Allied Energy Plc ("Allied"), the operator of OMLs 120 and 121, is awaiting the arrival of the Sedneth 701 semi-submersible drilling rig in order to commence drilling of the Oyo well #7. Transfer of the rig, pursuant to a Deed of Assignment with Transocean Ltd. and Nigerian Petroleum Development Corporation Limited ("NPDC"), has been delayed past the previously announced date of July 31, 2013 due to unanticipated drilling problems at its current location. Currently, efforts are being made to resolve the problems at its current drilling location and release the rig to Allied. The Company currently expects that the spudding of Oyo # 7 well will be delayed at least until late August or early September. The well's dual objectives are to increase production from the currently producing Pliocene reservoir and explore the resource potential in the deeper Miocene. During the first phase of drilling, expected to last 60 days, the plan is to drill down into the Miocene and, after testing, to plug the lower section of the well, move back up and drill directionally into the Pliocene reservoir. After the completion of the first drilling phase, the rig will be released to NPDC per the previously announced Deed of Assignment between NPDC and Allied.

Piccolo Day
this wiki
Piccolo Day is held on May 9. This is the day that King Piccolo declares his ruling of Earth in "Tenshinhan's Resolve" and "Prelude To Vengeance". In the FUNimation dub, this date was localized to the 13th to keep the association with bad luck (9 being an unlucky number in Japanese culture).
King Piccolo says that he will take a slip from the box (being held by his son, Piano) each year on the Piccolo Day, and the chosen sector on the slip will host that year's celebration and will end in its destruction at the hands of King Piccolo himself.
The ceremony is celebrated by King Piccolo once, in Age 753. The only sector chosen among the 43 sectors on Earth is sector 28, the location of West City. However, the city is not destroyed due to Goku killing King Piccolo on this day before the latter left Central City.
- This is also the day that Drum and Piccolo are born.
- Goku gets his new Flying Nimbus from Master Korin and kills King Piccolo on this day.
- Japan created a real-life holiday on May 9th for Goku, called Goku Day.

Carl Graham represented me in a difficult and complicated divorce case. He did an outstanding job, understood the critical issues, was very responsive, and gave me the best advice possible. Additionally, his staff was very helpful. Carl also consulted with other attorneys on issues that were outside his expertise, and as a result I got the best overall representation possible. I highly recommend Carl Graham as a family law attorney.
Posted by anonymous
I used Mr. Graham for my divorce as a military officer. The parenting plan he wrote up was very vague and caused contention between me and my ex. This contention led me to file for a parenting modification with very complicated issues. Mr. Graham did not listen to some of my concerns and opinions and dismissed them. This caused me to lose in court and the judge to rule against me. I spent over $5K for nothing after him telling me this was pretty much an easy case and I would get more time with my kids. He missed a lot of key points and let the other attorney dominate in court. I have no doubt Mr. Graham knows the law but seems to do what he wants rather than what you want. I would suggest shopping around, better attorneys out there
Posted by A recent Client of Mr.Carl Graham
My ex is very high strung and difficult to get along with. We have been in and out of court for many years, hence we have been through quit a few family law attorneys. Once again I needed an attorney, so here I was again needing a family law attorney who knew what the heck they were doing. So I searched and searched.......and stumbled upon Black and Graham! I thank God every day I found Carl and hired him as my family law attorney. Not often an attorney will be upfront and honest. Carl is just that. He is honest, trustworthy, keeps in contact with you in regards to your case, he will not sugar coat nothing and he is always prepared! He will tell you the truth and he does NOT rob you of your money. The more time he spends and works on your case the more you will spend. But, in the end each dime is well worth it! I cannot say enough good things about this attorney. Not only his he great, but also the ENTIRE STAFF at Black and Graham. So, if you are reading this, I am assuming you are in need of a heck of a good attorney. Well.... You found the right person who will assist you in your legal matter. I highly highly recommend Mr Carl Graham! He took nothing but great care of me during my family law case! I just sat back and answered his questions with honest answers and he took care of the rest. THANKS CARL AND THE STAFF AT BLACK AND GRAHAM YOU ALL ARE AMAZING AND I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU ALL!

I used Carl Graham for a fairly simple divorce. He is easy going and fair. Carl handled every aspect of the legal processes. Recommended.
Posted by anonymous
The attorneys at Black and Graham have been there for me when I have needed them the most. Carl Graham represented me in a family matter a few years back. He made the process easy to understand and less painful. He got me the results he predicted and in a promptly manner. I have never made a better choice in selecting Black and Graham to represent me in any legal matter. Fair disclosure – a partner is now my husband, but this occurred after my representation was complete. I know that the attorneys at Black and Graham are courteous, friendly, and professional. I have been there many times to observe how they treat other clients, and they will do whatever is in their power to help you and guide you as best they can and get you a more than satisfactory outcome.
Posted by Amanda
Carl is an excellent attorney. I'm positive that I won my case due to his expertise.
Posted by Zoran
I retained services of Mr. Graham for my divorce initially and 4 years later for a child support issue. In both cases, issues were handled properly and with the least amount of headaches. I am very happy and have saved not only money, but time and worries. I would strongly recommend Mr. Graham for family law issues. - Zoran I.

Mar 23, 2012 at 3:49 pm #1287715
Ike JutkowitzBPL Member
@ikeLocale: Central Michigan
A young dog was brought into our hospital a couple of months ago after being hit by a car. She had sustained multiple fractures of her pelvis, femur, and tibia. It had clearly not been an easy life for her up until that point either. Barely a year old, she had already been bred and had a litter of puppies. Faced with the expense of surgery, the dog's owners decided to euthanize her.
It should have been an easy decision. There are lots of healthy dogs out there that need homes. But when Sophie rolled over to show us her little belly and to give gentle kisses, the decision was made. My wife and I assumed financial responsibility for her and she went to surgery later that day.
After a second surgery and a month of physical therapy, Sophie was well on her way to recovery. My sister in law who lives in North Carolina had agreed to take her, so after x-rays confirmed that she was knitting well, my wife broached the subject of how to get Sophie down there. The wheels started turning. "I'll drive her there", I answered sweetly. "Maybe she could meet me in, oh I don't know, Virginia?"
My wife looked at me flatly for a minute, "It's a long drive to Virginia. You're probably not going to want to rush right back?" She knows me too well.
"You're probably right", I said. "I guess I could think of something to do there for a day or two." As it turned out, my sister in law wanted to meet in Wytheville, not far from Grayson Highlands. I quickly mapped out a roughly 55 mile loop that would take me from Grayson Highlands to the summit of Mount Rogers, then back down to circumnavigate the Mount Rogers area along the AT and the Iron Mountain Trail. I planned on doing the loop in a day and a half with a light pack.
Finally the day came. I had been planning on a 6 am start to meet my in-laws by 4 pm that day, but I was awake by 2 am and too excited to fall back asleep, so I loaded Sophie up and we hit the road. I've always loved road trips, in part because of the ever changing scenery (except for Ohio, which always looks the same to me until you hit the southern part of the state), but mostly because of what my wife and I refer to as "road rules."
Road trip with Sophie
"Road rules" means that anything goes. Well, not picking up hookers or snorting coke while doing 90 on the interstate, but at least food habits become more flexible. At home, my wife and I tend towards a locally raised, minimally processed diet. On extended trips though, we lower our standards and eat whatever we like, no questions asked. Or as my 5 year old daughter says, "road rules means that daddy can eat as many burgers as he wants."
On this particular trip, road rules took the form of a McDonalds breakfast, a roadside hot dog bought from a questionable vendor in West Virginia, and finally a large piece of lasagna made by my sister in law. I had met my sister-in-law and her daughters at 2 pm, ate a late lunch with them, and then watched for a while as Sophie got fussed over, brushed, and pampered. It was a little hard to leave Sophie, worrying that she had been passed around so much in recent weeks, but seeing how quickly she became taken with the girls, I soon felt better and headed out to the highlands.
Sophie with her new family
It had thunderstormed for the entire drive down, but as I reached the highlands, the sky miraculously cleared and I could see for miles.
I parked at the overnight lot by Massie Gap and headed into the highlands. It wasn't long before I ran into some of the locals, the allegedly wild ponies. Of course, no one had told them that they were supposed to be wild, so they quickly came over to check me out.
Heading out along the rhododendron trail, I was immediately taken by the views of the balds, rock formations, and skyscapes.
I like to roll up my rock guides to keep the cuffs from becoming dew dampened, even though this makes me look like some kind of dorky Huck Finn. I'd go back to zip offs, but I really like the feel of these pants.
Along the AT headed southbound
Maybe the answer is to just crop my pictures at the knee so no one will know
Entering the Mount Rogers area I ran into another herd of ponies. This colt came to check me out once he was done attending to more interesting matters.
I took a detour along the Wilburn Ridge trail to check out some of the rock formations.
There were some fun rock scrambles in this area. As someone who has never grown up, I can attest to the fact that kids would love this section. Heavily laden backpackers maybe less so.
The view from atop Wilburn Ridge
The Wilburn Ridge trail may not be the best route to take if you are interested in making big miles. Today though, I was just looking to get into the park a ways and set up camp. I would start my fastpacking adventure with a summit of Mount Rogers in the morning.
On the AT looking back towards Wilburn Ridge. I loved these wide open stretches of ridgeline.
Nearing the Thomas Knob shelter, yet another long view of the mountains. Views like this became almost commonplace on the trail.
I arrived at the Thomas Knob shelter by about 6:15 pm. John, a long distance hiker, was already eating dinner at the shelter when I arrived. Wood shelters are not particularly comfortable when your sleeping pad is the size of a postage stamp, so I decided to pitch my poncho tarp in a nearby clearing. I then returned to the shelter to eat my dinner with John. Dinner was spaghetti squash with meat sauce and it tasted pretty good, though the squash had lost some of it texture in the dehydration process.
John, who had initially mistaken me as a day hiker, was very curious about my gear. He looked thoughtful as he hefted my little alchie stove and MLD pack, discussing his plans for spending the next couple of months on the trail. We had a nice conversation that spanned a variety of topics and I retired to my tarp by 8:15. Thunderstorms had been forecast for that evening, but the night passed uneventfully. I'd wake periodically, find this nice concavity in the ground that my hip fit into perfectly, and fall back asleep in downy warmth. I woke at 5 am, looked up at the stars still twinkling brightly, and fell back asleep for another hour.
When I woke at 6, something was wrong. Unable to make it out of my bag in time, I rolled over and vomited on the ground. Amazing! Here was another advantage to the tarp that I couldn't quite remember anyone ever mentioning before.
Probably just an acid stomach, I thought. I carefully broke camp, still nauseous, hoping that whatever it was would pass. Unwilling to call off the adventure, I decided to summit Mt Rogers. This would not significantly increase my distance from the trailhead. If I wasn't feeling any better afterward, I could always bail or hole up at the shelter. John was stirring as I passed the shelter. "Have a great hike!", I called out, trying to hide the fact that I had just hurled. "You do get up early", he said.
The hike up Mount Rogers was not particularly difficult. I took it slowly, pausing to watch the sunrise behind me. As dawn broke, I could see mountains to my left rising out of the mist. Soon though, I was amongst the trees and there were no more views to be had as I reached the summit.
The view from Mount Rogers
Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling any better. As I descended, I found myself frequently hanging between my poles as I vomited. This was followed by diarrhea, then by vomiting on my diarrhea (TMI, I know). That was the last straw. It was too late to bail gracefully, but I decided to bail nonetheless. I had contemplated holing up at the shelter for a while, but knew that if I couldn't hold down water, the chance of finishing my loop in the time I had was unlikely.
I passed the Thomas Knob shelter at around 8am, glad to see that John was gone. I didn't really want to explain why I was headed back the wrong way.
Another herd of ponies
Sick as I was, it was hard not to be taken by the many sights that the AT offered and I stopped periodically to take pictures. I bypassed the Wilburn Ridge Trail this time around, but still found the adjacent section of the AT to be challenging in my current condition. I had finally stopped vomiting, but was now feeling muscle soreness and headaches and felt like I was literally dragging myself over the rocks.
Sunlight shining through a narrow passage between the rocks. I think they call this "Fat Man's Squeeze", but I called it "Almost blowing chunks".
I made slow progress back to my car and passed out for a little while when I got there. Feeling a little better, I started the long drive back home, and was able to hold down water midway through the ride. It was hard not to wonder if I should have tried to stick it out.
Post trip thoughts:
Grayson Highlands was a truly magnificent place, and one that I intend to return to in order to complete this hike.
I guess that every now and again, you need a real stinker to make you appreciate the trips that go well.
Although I'm disappointed not to have seen more of such a beautiful area, I have no regrets about the decision to bail. I was feeling too sick to truly enjoy the experience, and was within reasonable distance of the trailhead to make out easily. As a solo hiker, it's sometimes best to make the conservative choice.
I'm still not sure what took me out this trip- road food, dehydrated food, or a run of the mill stomach bug. In retrospect, buying a heatlamp hot dog from a toothless vendor in West Virginia may not have been the wisest move of my trip. Given the too-short duration of the trip, personal hygiene and water sources never had a chance to factor into the equation.Mar 23, 2012 at 4:36 pm #1858405

Hey thats one of my favorite stomping grounds, I love Grayson Highlands. Lots of those pictures look familiar and bring back good memories. When my brother was little I always wondered what would have happened if I'd thrown him up on one of the ponies.
I'm thinking you did the right thing to bail. Last thing you want to do is get dehydrated out there.
Definately get back there some day and finish it. Who knows maybe I'll see you if you go back (I'm hoping to get out there when the Rhododendrens blow in late spring/early summer).Mar 27, 2012 at 9:40 am #1859949

Sorry to hear your trip troubles.
Sounds like you got the stomach virus that's been running rampant through the Mid Atlantic.
It only lasts a couple days but I had the same symptoms your describing. You probably picked it up from some door you went through : )
I did that loop last year and want to go again.
Cool pictures!Mar 27, 2012 at 10:18 am #1859965

GI virus. A word to the wise though, if you vomit and feel nauseated you should not continue and should stronly consider heading back to the traihead immediately, esp if alone. The worst case scenario is losing all energy, continuing to lose water through your orifices and not having enough water on hand to stay hydrated for a several day illness.

Golden State Warriors & Los Angeles Clippers Fight During Christmas [Video]
Tis' the season to be jolly. Unless your the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers.
During last night's Christmas Day matchup against the two teams, things got a bit ugly as two scuffles both involving Blake Griffin broke out during the game, leading to two ejections and three technical fouls.
The first incident happened at the end of the third quarter. As the quarter ended Draymond Green decided to give Griffin a little wake up call with a flying elbow right to the big man's neck. The two met face to face on the floor shortly after before they were split apart and the situation escalated.
Green was ejected and a double technical foul was assessed to the teams.
Then in the forth quarter Warriors center Andrew Bogut decided he wanted in, and began pushing with Griffin. The two got separated before a punch was thrown but after some shoving back and forth another double technical was given, ejecting Griffin.
This helped lead the Warriors to an exciting 105-103 victory.
At the end of the game Chris Paul got into Bogut's face, with the Clippers Matt Barnes shoving the Austrailian in the back causing the benches to defend their team as they both shoved each other and shared holiday pleasantries with each other.
Check out the incidents below.

I love writing, and I'm working on so many different books right now it's not funny. I hope to be published one day. My writing passion started in 5th grade, with multiple fan fictions until about 8th grade, when an idea of my own truly started to form. I became excited, and it all took off from there!

I was speaking to a stranger today. I shared my heart, and I've never been so relieved.
We began talking about a book of particular genuinity. Inkheart to be specific. Hell, if I could read aloud like Mo or Meggie, the world would be putty in my hands. I could write my utopia and read it true.
If only I could. My utopia would be genuine. I don't want power. I'm not power hungry.
Internet would still exist, but only because of Facebook and Protagonize. There wouldn't be so any trashy TV shows. I'd do away with television entirely, but some movies are just too good to give up. Finding Neverland, for example. Or Paulie. I could list an entire library, but I don't feel like it. All of the music is free-- hell there isn't any money at all. A deeper sense of community exists, and we trade for what we need.
Some call that primitive, uncivilized. I call that rational.
There is not one person who doesn't like to read. Everyone understands just how powerful and beautiful and terrible words really are, the magic held in each letter. Everyone says precisely what they mean, no bold-faced lies and two-faced back-stabbing.
If anything is going to be done right, it's done at night, where the magic is a little bit stronger.
To all of this, he responded "This is a little depressing."
I replied telling him he was exactly correct. We shouldn't have to only dream of perfection and peace and kindliness. People should already have manners and respect for one another. No life should be valued more than another. We're all human, and that's both our blessing and our downfall.
When someone makes a mistake, they do not deny the simple truth of the matter. There is no cowering behind excuses and tentatively pointing the blame unto another innocent.
When he told me I'd read the thoughts right out of his mind, plucked them as if from thin air, I said I suppose the truth of the heart is felt through shared ethics and proper values that seem lost in a world so fast-paced.
I have always felt this way, deep down in my heart. The stories I've read have shaped most of who I am. Sometimes I prefer the company of a book over that of a real person. I can trust books. They're more welcoming than my peers, and they don't lie to me. A book knows how to communicate better than any person I've ever met.
And they smell good, like nutmeg or some other comforting spice I can't put a name to.
"That's an incredible perspective. It's so rare to find that nowadays." He said.
He's right, true enough. No one reads anymore-- I've never found anyone my age who reads as much as I do. My books taught me more respectable ethics than my own parents, in a way.
Believe me, I'm not saying my parents were useless in that respect. On the contrary, they taught me a lot.
I only wish that the rest of the world would wake up and smell the roses, face the truth and look it in the eyes. Maybe a smile could play at their lips, reaching their eyes.
If only I weren't stuck dreaming.

Re: Law of the Sea Treaty
Selling Out U.S. Sovereignty
At last, a Property Rights Victory!
World Socialists
Call For World
GovernmentWARNING: LOST AGAIN
By Henry Lamb
February 1, 2005
One of the first questions asked of Condoleezza Rice during her confirmation hearing, came from Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Richard Lugar. He asked her if the administration would support ratification of the Law of the Seas Treaty. Her answer was an unequivocal "yes." [sell out of U.S. Sovereignty]
Before he popped the question, with TV cameras running, Lugar said that claims by critics that the treaty would result in the loss of national sovereignty, and that the treaty authorized the U.N. to collect taxes - were false.
Article 2(3) of the treaty says quite clearly, that:
"... sovereignty over the territorial sea is exercised subject to this Convention and to other rules of international law."
The exercise of sovereignty over territorial seas - subject to any authority other than the Congress of the United States - is a loss of sovereignty, which cannot be denied.
Moreover, section XI of the Convention establishes the International Seabed Authority, which has the power to collect an "application fee," from anyone wishing to mine the seabed, as well as the authority to collect a "royalty," based on the value of minerals mined from the seabed.
Mr. Lugar does not call this a tax. Whatever it may be called, whenever government has the power to require payment from individuals or from corporations - it is a tax.
These are only two of the many reasons why this treaty should not be ratified by the United States. There is literally no benefit provided by this treaty to the United States that is not already available - without the entanglement of the U.N.
This treaty was rejected by President Reagan in 1982. It was re-worked during the Clinton years and resubmitted for ratification. It was rejected again in 2000. John Turner in the U.S. State Department submitted the treaty again in 2004, and Chairman Lugar massaged it through his committee, without allowing any dissenting testimony. Fortunately, other Senators demanded to hold hearings where dissenting testimony was allowed, and the treaty failed to reach the Senate floor for a vote.
Once again, this treaty is high on Mr. Lugar's priority list for the 109th Congress. And once again, defenders of American sovereignty must speak out against it.
Aside from the loss of national sovereignty that would result from ratification, and the authorization of the U.N. body to impose taxes, this treaty embodies another precedent-setting concept: U.N. administration of the "global commons" as the "heritage of mankind."
The treaty specifically declares the non-territorial seabed to be a "global commons," and authorizes its exploitation, under the direction of the U.N., for redistribution to the people in nations which have no part in producing value from the seabed.
Another U.N.-related body, the Commission on Global Governance, has defined the global commons to include:
"...the atmosphere, outer space, the oceans beyond national jurisdiction, and the related environment and life-support systems that contribute to the support of human life" (Our Global Neighborhood, p. 251).
Ratification of the Law of the Seas Treaty would be acquiescence to the principle that global commons - as defined by the U.N. - is the "common heritage of mankind," and subject to the U.N.'s administration and redistribution.
This principle flies in the face of John Locke's philosophy - the foundation of capitalism - that a resource belongs to its first possessor, and that a resource combined with labor produces a property to which the possessor is uniquely entitled.
America, in pursuit of an ownership society, and dedicated to lead the world toward individual freedom and the prosperity that freedom unleashes, simply cannot embrace a system of global collectivist governance that would deny private ownership, and require tribute to a global system dedicated to the redistribution of other people's wealth.
Few Senators have ever read this lengthy treaty, filled with confusing language that describes obscure councils, committees and procedures. They will decide whether to vote for or against this treaty based on the advice they get from their staff, and from professionals who have read the treaty. They will also be influenced by the people who vote for them. Voters who care about national sovereignty and individual freedom, who prefer capitalism over global socialism, will want to be sure their Senators know how they feel about this treaty.

January 27, 2005
Now that the elections are over, the politicians and special interests in Washington will feel free to do what they want -- ignore public opinion -- unless we convince them otherwise.
Senator Richard Lugar, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, wants the U.S. Senate to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) as soon as possible. Lobbyists representing multi-national corporations are busy convincing U.S. senators to vote in favor of LOST, and well-funded think tanks are holding briefings to marshal support for ratification.
Let's remember that over 20 years ago President Reagan opposed LOST. So what has changed since then? The treaty is the same. What has changed are the politicians who are now in power, and we must convince them to reject LOST.
Frank Gaffney writes, "It [LOST] was drafted more than 20 years ago at the behest of Soviet Bloc and 'nonaligned' nations as the centerpiece of their so-called 'New International Economic Order,' a scheme to transfer wealth from the industralized to the developing world.
"Ronald Reagan objected to LOST's creation of a supranational agency to govern the world's oceans at the expense of U.S. sovereignty...."
Last year, supporters of LOST tried to quietly get the treaty ratified. They were confident they could. But word got out and Americans throughout the country said "NO!" This sudden outburst of opposition caught the pro-LOST folks by surprise. They decided then, in that election year, to hold back and try again early this year.
And that is exactly what they are doing now...working to get LOST ratified once and for all.
We expect the Senate to vote on ratification of LOST within the next 60 days, maybe sooner. We must, once again, rally opposition and do so quickly.
Urge your two U.S. senators to vote against ratification of LOST. In addition, please spread the word. We will need all the help we can get this time around.

We can all sort things by alphabetical order. We all know our ABCs. But no one knows why the alphabet itself is arranged alphabetically. There is no rhyme or reason — the order of the letters seems to be arbitrary. From what historians understand, the order of the alphabet is the way it is because, well, it's always been that way.
The basic order of the alphabet has remained more or less the same since the time of its ancestor: the Phoenician alphabet from about the 14th century, which had only nineteen characters, all of which were consonants. This alphabet predecessor might even be traced all the way back to North Semitic, a family of languages which developed around 1700 BC. The Greeks used the Phoenician alphabet as a model for their alphabet, which saw the addition of vowels. Then, this alphabet became the model for the Etruscan alphabet, which is what the Roman and all Western alphabets were modeled after. Over time, letters were dropped and added to this basic structure of the alphabet based on usage. Find out more about the alphabet's order with the video below.

Lahore, Mar.16 (ANI): Pakistan Punjab's Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif's statement pleading to the Taliban to spare the province from violence has attracted massive outrage in political circles of the country.
Shahbaz has come under a severe lashing from the opposition, and was humiliated in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) assembly when a woman Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) removed her 'dupatta' asking him to wear it.
"If Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif is so scared of the Taliban, then he should starting wearing a 'dupatta'," Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Nighat Orakzai said while throwing her dupatta on the floor of the house.
She said Shahbaz's statement has revealed that he is only concerned about the safety of his province, and couldn't care less about those killed in terrorist activities in the NWFP.
It may be noted that speaking during a seminar at a mosque on Sunday (March 14), Shahbaz had pleaded to the Taliban to not to carry out attacks in Punjab.
"General Pervez Musharraf planned a bloodbath of innocent Muslims at the behest of others only to prolong his term in office, but we, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PLM-N) opposed the former president's policies and rejected the dictation being received from abroad. If the Taliban are also fighting for the same cause, then they should not carry out acts of terror in the province of Punjab," Shahbaz had said.
Shahbaz, however, later defended his remarks, saying he was 'misreported' and his statements were twisted by the media. (ANI)

Is raising the native mode of a server a good/effective way to remove a NT DC from a domain or should you use dcpromo to demote the old NT box?

Which DC is your primary? The NT or the new one?

A few comments...
You do not raise the 'native mode' of a server; you raise the mode of the domain (and of the forest if your Domain Controllers are running server 2003).
Raising the functional level of the forest or domain means that no down-level DC's can replicate; it is not 'removed'...the computer account and DNS SRV records are left intact, as are certain entries in the NTDS.DIT database.
NO, this is not a good way to get rid of a downlevel DC. AL:WAYS properly demote an existing DC.

Creepy Pete
Petey's head still reeled from the fact that he'd just met and talked to Ghost Wheeler. 'Ghost Wheeler,' his life long idle, his hero! And then, then he'd said something about Morgan. 'My Morgan?' he'd asked. Petey wracked his brain. Ghost Wheeler certainly didn't mean that she was his girlfriend, because well, she was Petey's. Ghost Wheeler was his dad's age so… Neurons actually fired in Pete Jr.'s brain as he came to a logical conclusion.
'Ghost Wheeler is Morgan's dad!'
That thought sent him into a tizzy. Of course she would be. No one else would be suitable for him and who better suited for her than her father's number one fan. Petey was so giddy he had to sit down. But in sitting he saw Morgan with that guy. What was his name? He'd heard Grandma B say it. That's how he'd known to come here. She'd said, oh what did she say?
Petey put a hand on his head, thinking hurt. Ash! That's what it was and yesterday he'd seen him flirting with Morgan at lunch. Morgan was a good girl. She'd always been faithful to Petey. But there was no need for her to be tempted away from him.
Slowly he stood and brushed himself off. Petey watched them by peaking around a tree. They hugged, she kissed the guy's cheek, then ran inside. Morgan had kissed this Ash guy's cheek? Had she done that yesterday too? Well Petey had obviously arrived just in time.
First he'd tell that guy off then he'd talk to Morgan. She wouldn't need much persuasion. Morgan was a good girl, faithful to Petey. She probably didn't realize what was going on. She was just being nice to the guy who's life she'd save. Petey knew about that. Morgan'd saved his life once. He'd never forget that. That's why he was her boyfriend. So he could protect her from other guys who might feel the same way, who might not respect his Morgan.
Petey looked back. The guy was pacing nervously outside. Good, Morgan needn't know. Petey straightened himself up to his full 5' 8" height and ran a hand through his dirty blond curly hair. He strode up to the guy so that he faced him just as he turned to walk back the other way. Ash stopped.
"Morgan's my girlfriend," Petey said thumping his chest with his thumb. "I recommend you stop flirten with her, for I do somethen drastic." Petey gave the guy a slight shove to unbalance him. Then he turned and walked away at a quick pace. That'd teach him.
Petey went back around to where the Maternity Ward windows were so he could watch Morgan as she worked. He'd talk to her first chance he got.
