The fate of the troubled Karara mine in Western Australia hangs in the balance as the Chinese-Australian joint venture intensifies cost reduction discussions with its major contractors.
The magnetite project is a joint venture between China's second biggest steel producer Ansteel and Perth-based minority partner Gindalbie Metals.
Its future has been clouded since Tuesday when Gindalbie confirmed Ansteel, which has been subsidising the troubled project's losses, was reconsidering its position "due to the economic and industry downturn". This would in turn "cast doubt on Gindalbie's ability to continue as a going concern" due to a likely claims under a complex web of guarantees on Karara's bank debt and other obligations.
Sources said the Karara joint venture was working fiercely to lower the project's costs in the hope it would prevent Ansteel walking away. Gindalbie is yet to receive formal notification from Ansteel on its decision and failed to return requests for comment on Thursday.
The high-cost magnetite mine has been bleeding money due to operational difficulties, the plummeting iron ore price and fixed-cost commitments, the most oppressive of which is a take or pay agreement for rail access with Brookfield Rail.
It is expected discussions between the miner and Brookfield will turn to cost reductions in the near future.
"Brookfield Rail is in discussions with Karara Mining Limited regarding Karara's ongoing operations and longer term strategy in the Mid-West region," a spokesman for Brookfield said.
Former Karara Mining chief executive Dale Harris told a parliamentary committee in 2014 the 15-year access deal the joint venture struck with Brookfield in 2011 included "very high" fixed costs.
"Over the 15 years, it is about $1.5 billion in total," he said. "It is about $100 million a year for us to access that rail. We would prefer to have a lower cost solution obviously but that is the arrangement we have."
It is understood the access costs remain about $100 million per annum, split between fixed and variable cost components which vary annually.
Brookfield holds a $300 million bank guarantee over the agreement, in relation to a $540 million investment it made to upgrade the track, that the rail provider can call on if Karara fails to meet its take-or-pay obligations.
The cost cutting push is understood to extend to Downer EDI, the project's mining contractor, which declined to comment.
Many analysts aren't optimistic about the future of Karara, noting that if China's Ansteel pulls funding, the loss-making project was likely to be put on long-term care and maintenance.
Katana Asset Management portfolio manager Romano Sala Tenna said some contractors might consider cost negotiations given the impact it would have on their businesses "but regardless it would be very difficult to recover from the position Karara now finds itself in".
"Its costs are high and the market is challenging," he said.
Patersons Securities head of research Rob Brierley said any cost reductions achieved were likely to only "kick the can down the road" due to continued price weakness.
"Value would be best persevered for Karara if it was put under care and maintenance until prices improved however, that is easier said than done as they have take-or-pay contracts and they would have to try and negotiate their way out of those," Mr Brierley said.

Damien: smart clothesMature
"So where are we going?" I ask, lounging around on the bed, pretending to contemplate what to wear. What I was really doing was recovering from the shower sex. What can I say? It's been a while.
"That kind of posh place near where I work?"
"Only downside to that being I don't have anything even vaguely smart to wear."
"You can borrow something of mine," he smiles.
"In case you hadn't noticed, since I've been near enough clean, I've kind of put on some weight," I chuckle, prodding my belly. I'll admit I'm not quite a healthy weight yet, but I'm definitely fatter than Kyle, and I'd outgrown most of my own clothes.
"I'm sure I can find something that'll fit," he says, smiling a little more. I look at him, giving him the curious face. He's a fucking skeleton, how's he gonna find something that will fit me?
"What?" he chuckles.
"How're you gonna find something for old chubsy over here?"
"You're not so chubsy," he says, starting to look through his clothes. I just lay there prodding my stomach, unconvinced. He comes back over with a shirt and tells me to try it. I sit up, pulling it on, still not convinced. It already feels a little on the tight side without attempting to do it up. Kyle looks all thoughtful and goes off in search of another. "This is way too big for me so it should fit," he tells me, coming back with a new shirt. I slide it on, both of us smiling as it fits me perfectly.
He gets dressed too as I tug on a pair of black skinny jeans, hoping that it won't look too casual for the place Kyle's thinking of. In an attempt to make up for the jeans just in case, I look for a smart-ish jacket or something to go over the shirt, but I don't seem to have anything. I try to ignore Kyle's amused face as I search through my new clothes, 'cause c'mon, I must've picked up something semi smart. He laughs a little as I get kind of irritated at myself for not thinking to get anything nice for things like this.
"You look smart enough like that, gorgeous," he says, but I'm not convinced about that. "You're smart enough for me." I smile. Just as well I am, really, 'cause it doesn't look like there's much we can really do about it.
"Ready to go then?" I nod. I'm as ready as I'll ever be, anyways. I don't do posh places. If it's anything classier than KFC, I tend to have a mini freak out, because I get all paranoid about what people will think of me there.
He takes my hand and I give it a tiny squeeze. You have no idea how glad I am to have him back.
When we get there, I begin to feel that mini freak up building inside of me. It's even more posh than I remember it being. Fuck. Kyle gets us a table for two, and I can't help but notice that a couple people are already kind of glaring at us. I can't tell if it's because we're clearly a couple, or because I look so out of place.
I try to ignore them, as does Kyle, who holds my hand once we're sat down. I hold it just that tiny little bit too tight, betraying just how out of place I feel here. He doesn't seem to mind, though, so I don't really relax my grip.
"Don't worry about spending too much, this is my treat," he smiles, and I smile back, pulling a menu towards us. We both look at what they have to offer, and I sort of just stare at it. It's all French, and I don't understand a single word on it. Kyle notices this, apparently and helps me out. I feel my cheeks heat up a little at that. He smiles again, not taking too long to pick what he wants. I end up choosing the same as him, simply because I still didn't really know what much of the stuff on there is, and if I'm honest, not a huge amount of it sounded especially appetising.
I look up from the menu to look around at the restaurant, and really wish I hadn't about half a second later. A woman at the table next to ours is giving us that sort of glare, and I feel my cheeks redden again, catching a glimpse of Kyle glaring right back at her as I fix my eyes on the corner of the table cloth.

Ana: FightMature
'Shouldn't we move onto the next place?' I suggested, sipping at my Coke.
'Nah,' Reuben replied. 'We can sit here for a bit, get to know the people, the area, all that jazz.'
I had no doubt that the reason my brother wanted to stay here was because of the girl that had wandered in around ten minutes after us. I watched her confidence with pure and utter envy. She was beautiful, with blonde hair and violet eyes although her clothing was a little revealing, and how she managed to walk in those stilettos was beyond me. I got the impression she was the sort of girl who, when around other girls, would make their self esteem plummet to the floor. I certainly knew she had had that effect on me.
'She's not coming back,' I chuckled.
'Who?' My brother's head snapped round, his dark eyes scrutinizing me.
'That girl,' another casual sip of my Coke. 'She left with another guy. Sorry but I guess you didn't luck out tonight.'
'Shut up Ana.'
'Hey, I wonder why that guy said this place was dangerous?' I mused, genuinely curious but also wanting to shift the topic so as not to embarrass my brother further.
'Who cares?' Reuben muttered. 'He's a freak. I need a fag, will you be alright here by yourself?'
'No,' I told him. 'Please do not go, I have no idea how on Earth I'll manage.'
'Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit,' he said standing up. 'I'll just be five minutes.'
I watched my brother's departing figure with quiet fear. Truth was, I really didn't want to be left alone, especially in here. I didn't feel completely safe. I couldn't show it though; he'd done so much to protect me, I couldn't be scared forever, he'd feel as though everything he's done has been for nothing.
I kept my eyes glued to the table, willing my brother to return.
'Is this seat taken?' I looked up to see a man probably in his mid fourties early fifties with wispy silver hair and pale blue eyes. He was wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans. He was also incredibly drunk; I could smell the alcohol from where I was sat.
'Actually yes,' I fought to keep my voice steady and polite. I didn't want to antagonize him.
Regardless of what I had just said he sat down, shifting his chair closer to mine.
Oh God.
'You're really pretty,' he slurred.
I stood up. 'I have to go.'
'No you don't,' without warning, he grabbed my wrist and yanked me down sharply.
I cried out in pain as my elbow slammed into the table.
'Let go of me!' My voice rose as I began to panic.
'You're not going anywhere,' he pulled his lips back to reveal two very real, very sharp fangs.
'What the fuck?!' My brother appeared from nowhere. 'Let go of my sister!'
'Oh yeah?' the man stood up and I realized the drunk act had been just that; an act. 'You gonna stop me?'
In one fluid motion my brother drew his fist back and brought it forward, slamming into the man's jaw, sending him flying to the floor. I took this opportunity to leap up from my seat and run over to Reuben where I half cowered behind him.
Everyone in the bar had stopped talking and were now surveying the scene with mild curiosity. A fight here had obviously not gone unheard of.
The man with silver hair stood up, wiping a thin trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. He threw his head back and laughed, a deep throaty noise that sickened me. His eyes looked...hungry. Then I remembered the fangs.
'Reuben no,' I hissed, grabbing his arm.
'Ana leave this to me. No dickhead messes with my sister.'
'How sweet. Big brother protecting his baby sister. Something I've never seen before.' He rolled his eyes and took another step towards us. 'But you really messed with the wrong person.'
Reuben aimed another smack at him but this time he was ready. The man grabbed Reuben's hand in his wrist and twisted it behind his back in a sickening angle.
'Let go of him!' I screamed.
My eyes desperately scoured my surroundings trying to find something to hit the guy with before he broke my brother's arm.
'Only if you say please,' he taunted, obviously enjoying himself.
However, moments later something clicked and all of our heads turned in the direction of the sound to find the barman from earlier with a gun poised in his hand.
'Holy shit,' I whispered, rooted to the spot with pure and utter fear. Everything in my body was screaming at me to run, but I literally couldn't. My muscles had frozen. All I could think of was that gun...inches away from all of us. Although it wasn't actually pointed at us, it was pointed at the man.
'Get out of here Farius, I thought I told you not to come back.'
'You know bullets won't kill me,' he chuckled.
'Not even the special kind?'
Whatever the barman had meant by 'special' it had certainly worked. The man named Farius dropped my brother to the floor and held his hands up in surrender.
'Alright, I'm out of here.'
'And this time do not come back or so help me I will kill you.' Right now, our saviour looked ten thousand times more dangerous than Farius, with half his face cast in shadow and his eyes burning with pure, unadulterated rage. It shocked us well into silence as Farius quietly slipped out the back.
'Than-' I began.
'Get out of here,' he grunted, throwing the gun over his shoulder and leaving us.
'Reuben,' I crouched down beside my injured brother. 'We're not gonna last five seconds here.'

Barbaro "Stable," Has Laminitis
- Sep 1, 2006
- Topics:
In the weeks following this announcement, New Bolton officials have consistently reported the colt is "stable," with good vital signs and a strong appetite. The bandage on the laminitic foot has been changed daily and the foot checked for infection.
Speaking at a press conference on July 13, Richardson stated that Barbaro's laminitis is "as bad a case as you can get." In a resection procedure completed July 12, a large portion of Barbaro's hoof wall was removed, and just 20% of the wall remained attached to the coffin bone, according to Richardson. His left hind leg was placed in a foam cast as they began attempting to re-grow the hoof wall.
Barbaro suffered major complications the previous week and underwent three surgical procedures during that time. On July 8, Richardson replaced the titanium plate and 27 screws and treated two infections--one in the injured right hind leg and a small abscess on the sole of his left hind hoof. Barbaro shattered his right hind leg at the beginning of the May 20 Preakness Stakes and underwent surgery the following day at New Bolton.
Richardson said the July 13 press conference was called because of the great concern, speculation, and interest in Barbaro. He dismissed rumors of impending euthanasia, but added that the horse's prognosis had diminished.
According to Richardson, Barbaro has stability in his right rear leg, and that injury is under "reasonable control. But the big problem is a catastrophic case of laminitis in his left hind. With laminitis, the connection between the bone and hoof separates, and that can be excruciatingly painful, like re-growing a nail in humans after it's been pulled out. Horses do recover from this, but it's a longshot. I'm not going to sugarcoat the situation. It is a poor percentage for horses to recover, but as long as he's not suffering, we will continue to try."
Richardson said recovery, if it occurs, would take many months. For now, Barbaro appears comfortable. "He nickers, he's eating well, he has excellent G.I. function, his temperature is normal, his heart rate is good, and he is capable of walking around his stall," said Richardson. "His owners, Roy and Gretchen Jackson, and his trainer, Michael Matz, visit him daily, and the Jacksons' absolute concern--their only concern--is for the comfort of the horse on a daily basis. We will go on as long as the horse acts normally."
Barbaro is in a sling for portions of each day to aid in his mobility. He is also undergoing what Richardson termed "an aggressive pain management regimen."
On July 28, Richardson took new radiographs to check healing progress after his right hind leg cast was changed on July 26. "They look good," reported Richardson, "No problems were evident."
Barbaro continues to receive well wishes and gifts from fans across the world as he recovers in New Bolton's intensive care unit.--Lenny Shulman and The Horse staff

Chapter 1
Brooke had met Anders during a training session.
(They had been shooting at moving targets, and his bullet had been so off course that it had hit her target.)
It was dangerous for an Agent-in-training to be anything other than perfect, especially when they were sixteen and nearly ready to be sent out into the world.
The bullet from her gun had struck nearly the same area that his had. She turned, looking for the person with the errant bullet, and her eyes had come to rest upon him almost immediately.
He had stringy blonde hair, a pale, freckly face, and pale blue eyes that looked like they couldn't possibly hide any secrets. He smiled at her apologetically. "I'm getting used to using these right-handed guns," he told her.
Brooke wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe that instead of being useless for having a bad aim, he had already mastered left-handed guns and was challenging himself. Her roommates and friends had always told her that she was too forgiving, too willing to trust, too kind. But she had smiled back, and told him that it was alright.
After that, Anders kept popping up in Brooke's life. There he was, blonde hair flashing like a beacon across the lunchroom from her. There he was, in one of her classes, answering a question. And there he was, blue eyes flitting towards her, in another one of her combat classes.
(Brooke told herself that she was just worried that he was a bad Agent.)
But Brooke couldn't shake the feeling that he noticed her, too. He would try to catch her eye, or smile at her from across the room, or fight with redoubled effort. And every time he did, her stomach would twist up, and she might turn her head and blush.
And she didn't exactly welcome the feeling, but she didn't hate it either.
Brooke had been feeling especially arrogant one day, and she had smiled at him in the lunch line.
"How's the right-handed gun training going?" she asked.
(As if she hadn't been watching him to make sure that he was succeeding.)
"Well, thanks," he responded, smiling at her.
Brooke smiled back while trying to ignore her stomach's attempts to murder her.
She had sat at her usual table, and was talking with her friends when Anders came up to them. Brooke's friends had giggled a bit, but quieted down enough for Anders to smile at Brooke and ask her if she wanted to hang out sometime.
Their relationship had blossomed from that moment onward. They became friends and got to know each other, and got closer and closer. His favorite color was brown, and though he never said it, Brooke had a feeling that he was thinking about her eyes when he said that. For her part, her favorite color became light, pale blue.
He got better with a gun. He could now shoot with both hands nearly perfectly, and she like watching how his muscles tensed and then relaxed once he had shot.
Brooke was could shoot with her right hand, but like focusing on hand-to-hand martial arts. She didn't like trusting the gun to do the work for her. The only thing she trusted in was her own mind and body, and she could be completely dependent in herself doing martial arts. The dependency on herself also turned into a certain independence from technology, and Brooke liked that idea.
(As if their world could survive without being completely dependent on technology.)
Watching Anders shoot, though—that was when Brooke could trust in the fact that different people had different styles. It was also when she realized that Anders liked being separated from the actual person that he was hurting from with the gun, with the distance, with the bullet.
It was a weakness, it should have been stomped out of him when he was young, and yet somehow, Brooke found it endearing.
They had been "just friends" for about six months, and Brooke was still unable to quell the flush that came to her cheeks anytime Anders looked at her intensely. She also couldn't help but notice that he looked at other girls, that his smiles weren't just for her.
They went out to the shooting range nearly every day. He was so confident with a gun in his hand. He shot straight and got cocky about it. It was almost annoying.
They were alone on the shooting range one day. He looked to make sure that she was watching, grinning, and shot at the target. It was a perfect try, of course, but she had shot her gun at the last second and shot his bullet out of the air.
She had knocked it completely askew and sent it careening into another target. And he had turned to her with an annoyed expression on his face, but there was laughter in his eyes, and she was smiling at him, and suddenly they were kissing.
That was the moment their relationship started.
Brooke had always wished that Anders would speak in a less complicated manner.
(But being complicated was better than riddles and lies, she supposed.)
There they would be, sitting on a couch together, and she would say something, and he would respond with 'your smell is a rose that only my nose knows.'
She would turn to him, with a "What?"
He would smile back at her. "C'mon, Brooke. It just means that I like the way you smell."
Standing in front of his cell, she couldn't help but reflect upon the fact that he always confused her, and would confuse her forever.
Brooke was sure that she loved him, of course. For a brief time, at least.
(But with all the death and loyalties and falls from grace and rises to power, there was a fine line between love and anything else.)
But for her, love meant that she would do anything for him and wanted him and defended him to anyone.
She could remember talking with her roommates on many a night. Them asking her why she was with him when he was so strange and she was so normal. And how their complaints seemed like they made sense.
And for her, love was when she thought about it, and then looked at her roommates and told them, "Why should it matter why I like him? I'm happy, and that's all that matters."
She couldn't understand why he had left.
Even she didn't know what had happened. That much had become apparent when they had called her in for questioning. As it turned out, he had been on a mission, and he had suddenly defected. The Agency authorities didn't know if he had been killed or had joined the Omidella. Either way, he was dead to them, and had to be dead to her.
He had seemed so happy, though. Anders had friends and talent and a bright future and he had her. Why would he leave?
Looking into his eyes through the bars of the prison cell, Brooke recalled why she had found him so attractive. But she kept coming back to his eyes. Those placid blue eyes that seemed like a shallow pond. Brooke had always assumed that they reflected on the fact that he was a person with nothing to hide. Those eyes were so misleading, like a false bottom on a drawer hiding secrets that could change the course of a war. If Brooke looked harder, she could understand all of the emotion that he kept inside himself. She should have understood that he needed to talk about what he was feeling before he ran away. Then they wouldn't have been in this position now.
Anders was brave. That was undeniable.
(Either brave or tragically stupid, that is.)
Why, oh why, had he returned to Agency headquarters on an Omidella raid?
He knew the layout, of course. That made him a good candidate. The Omidella might not have trusted him. (No one likes a traitor, even if they're on your side.) He had taken out about five Agents before he had been stopped and detained in a third-story corridor. He had no blood on him, something that reflected on the fact that he preferred to let bullets do his dirty work.
All of the things that Brooke had found endearing about Anders came crashing down to the cold metal floor of reality.
But there was a part of her that remembered Old Anders, the one whom she had dated and loved and defended, and the one who was loyal to the Agency and loyal to her.
Goddamn those eyes.
It wasn't long before Brooke noticed that she was being watched.
And Brooke might have loved Anders, and Anders might have been (sorry, definitely was) a traitor, but that didn't necessarily mean that Brooke was waiting for the next opportunity to bring down the Agency from the inside. She was loyal to the thing that had been loyal to her.
And Brooke was smart, okay? She understood that being watched by the Agency leaders was for everyone's safety. And she understood that Anders' choice had reflected badly on her.
How could she have been tricked by him like that? How could she have trusted someone who had turned against her and everything that she stood for, and then left her to drown in the ocean of suspicions that naturally arose when someone betrayed the Agency?
That was what led her to this moment.
Face a mere inches away from the cold metal bars of the cell. Anders looking sickly in the dark light of the prison, with his pale, freckly skin and straw-like hair.
For his part, he managed a shaky smile at her, as if this was an afternoon doing target practice. She couldn't go to the shooting range without being reminded of him and everything they shared. But she had managed to bury all of the warmth and comfort that she had drawn from his presence. Brooke no longer belonged to him. She had successfully disconnected the part of her heart that Anders had from herself.
Did he regret everything that had been lost?
She hoped that he did.
"Anders," Brooke managed in a cold voice.
"Brooke," he said.
His eyes were still defiant. Anger flared in her.
The Agency had given her an ultimatum: Destroy the traitor and prove your loyalty. Or don't, and see what happens.
Was there ever a question of what she would do? Betray the Agency, which had been loyal to her, or join Anders on the road to death? Ha! As if she would ever leave the agency. He had never been loyal to her.
The gun at her side got heavier.
She drew the gun, loaded with bullets. He met her eyes, suddenly fearful. He understood. He wasn't a total idiot.
She cocked the hammer.
"Brooke," he said, suddenly pleading, "Don't do this. You don't know that the Agency is doing, you don't understand—"
"I understand perfectly," Brooke hissed. "You betrayed me. The Agency stayed loyal. Therefore, I am loyal to them. And they have given me a second chance, an opportunity to make up for the stains that your betrayal put on me. And I will take that chance."
Anders recoiled as if her words had cut him.
Inside Brooke, hovering near the surface, there was a younger girl. She screamed out against this, reminded the current Brooke that they loved Anders, that he was their friend…
Brooke forced that entity down. She chose the Agency.
And as she pulled the trigger, and watched her perfectly aimed bullet streak through the bars of the cell and strike Anders in the head, her old self was screaming all the way.
Watch the dark flow of blood from his head.
Blows to herself.
But she had killed the old Brooke. She had arisen from those ashes, stronger and better. She would make a good Agency, the Agency had to see that.
But still, Brooke couldn't help reflect on the fact that Anders had been partly right. There was some use to the detachment a bullet gave you.

By Sutin Wannabovorn, Associated Press Writer
BANGKOK, Thailand A strike by anti-government labor unions fizzled out Wednesday, but protesters demanding the prime minister's resignation refused to lift a weeklong siege of his office, ignoring an emergency decree that has hardened Thailand's political deadlock.
The Federation of State Enterprises comprising 43 unions had planned to lead more than 200,000 workers in a strikes to crimp the supplies of power and water to government offices, as well as disrupt telecommunications and rail, road and air transport.
But few services were disrupted by the protesters who want to oust Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej from office, accusing him of corruption, violating the Constitution and making questionable appointments to senior government positions.
Sawit Khaewwan, the federation's secretary-general, acknowledged that a majority of members were at work even though "thousands" stayed away. He added that essential services were not hit.
"We already said that we will (go on a strike) only if the government uses force to harm the people," he said.
The anti-Samak campaign is led by the People's Alliance for Democracy, which comprises labor union leaders, urban elite and civil society activists among others.
Thousands of PAD supporters remained camped in the sprawling grounds around Samak's office, the Government House, in a virtual siege that started on Aug. 26. Speakers took turns to get up on a stage and denounce Samak.
"The PAD will not hold talks with the government or anyone," said Somsak Kosaisuk, one of the five core leaders of the group. "The PAD will talk only after Samak has resigned," he said.
The PAD was formed in 2006 to demand the resignation of then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, eventually paving the way for a bloodless coup that ousted him. Thaksin, a telecommunications tycoon, recently fled to Britain to escape corruption charges. The protesters say Samak is Thaksin's stooge and is running the government for him by proxy.
However, there is no indication Samak will step down.
He imposed emergency rule limited to the capital Bangkok on Tuesday. The move came after a week of political tensions exploded into rioting and street fighting early Tuesday between Samak's supporters and opponents that left one person dead and dozens injured.
Emergency rule gives the military the right to restore order, allows authorities to suspend civil liberties, bans public gatherings of more than five people and bars the media from reporting news that "causes panic."
Still, the army chief, Gen. Anupong Paochinda, made it clear that if troops are ordered into Bangkok's streets, they will be armed only with riot shields and batons, and will not use force.
Anupong's assurance has turned the emergency decree into "toilet paper," said Sirinan Yodkongkha, a 45-year-old business woman.
"The state of emergency has ended up drawing a bigger crowd rather than scaring protesters away," said Sirinan, one of several thousand people camped out at the Government House despite a morning downpour.
New barbed-wire barricades were erected at the approaches to Bangkok's international Suvarnabhumi Airport, where protesters had threatened to disrupt flights on national carrier Thai Airways. But there was no sign of trouble and flights continued normally.
The threat to cut off water and electricity supply to government buildings also did not materialize.
"We don't know when we are going to start because we have to weigh our options and consider the effect it will have on the people as well," said Somchai Sirimivet, head of the union for Metropolitan WaterWorks Authority.
In a front-page editorial, the Bangkok Post daily said it is true that Samak's People's Power Party won the most seats in general elections last year.
"But winning the election does not mean his government has a mandate to break the law," it said.
It cited the Election Commission's recommendation Tuesday that his party be disbanded for fraud during elections last year. Samak and other party leaders would be banned from politics for five years if judicial authorities upheld the ruling.
"Even though we disagree with the PAD holding the country and the people to ransom ... we agree that the PAD has every right to protest against the government," the Post said.

I saw Millie running out of the school and waved at her.
"Hey Millie!" I said.
"Hey Hatch, listen, can we talk?" she asked shuffling her feet in nervouness.
"Uh sure, Dess I'll catch you later kay?" I give Dess a quick hug before she runs off into the school to finish some homework. "So what's up?"
"I kinda need to tell you something," she says. We start walking around the field. I think this is the fiftieth time I've walked this field.
No! I scream in my head. Is my head freaking crazy? Who is my soulmate! I feel like ripping my hair out and killing myself. I can't handle this, it's impossible.
"Anything," I reply to Millie. Her pitch black hair shimmers in the sun and I feel like touching it. Her eyes are so blue, I feel like I could drown in them.
"I, uh, kinda-sorta-really-well-just-a-little-bit-a-lot like you," I stare at her. I can tell that shock eminates from my charcoal irises. I'm sure my silver pupils have enlarged too.
"A-are you-" I clear my throat, "Is this joke?"
"What? No! Why would it be a joke?" I watch pain spread across her face an I know I've caused it. My heart aches, I don't want to hurt her.
"I just," I can't see you liking me, I think.
"What?" she asks, taking a step closer.
"I can't see you liking me," I say, putting my head down to stare at my sneakers.
"What? Why not?" she lifts her hand and puts it beneath my chin, lifting it gently.
"Have you seen my face?" I dramatically make a circle around the left side of my face, wincing when I poke it while completing the circle. "Who could like a face like this?"
Millie stares at me. I can't tell the emotion on her face right now. It's a mix between pain and confusion. She takes a step back, we're the same distance away as before and I don't like it. I wish she hadn't stepped back, so I step closer. This time, I'm the one to lift her chin.
"But," I start, she looks at me now, "I like you too,"

wikiHow to Renovate Old Tin Trays
An old tin tray is an easy find in thrift stores, antique stores and used items stores. Or, buy a new one from a dollar store that needs improving. Knowing how to update a tin tray for using again is a handy trick that gives new life to old. Here is how.
1Gather the items you'll need. The items are listed below.
2Paint the tray with the undercoat. Add a little dash of the final coat enamel paint to make the painting colour smoother.
3Leave to dry overnight.
4Once the tray has dried, sand it lightly. Wipe down with a rag that has been dipped into turpentine.
5Paint with the enamel paint colour that you've chosen. Leave to dry. Depending on the make of the paint, this can take up to a week. The enamel layer should be as hard as possible.
6Select a design and draw onto the tracing paper.
7Use the soft lead pencil to rub the traced design onto the tray.
8Paint the traced design using the black enamel paint. Use a fine brush.
9Leave to dry once again. Once it has dried, wipe over with the rag again to clean it.

One last adjustment worth mentioning is the option to run the projector's lamp in an Eco mode that ups the lamp's life to an impressive 6,000 hours, while also reducing the projector's running noise. The catch is that brightness levels take a hit - though not by as much as you might think.
After being underwhelmed recently by the company's more expensive BenQ W1060 home entertainment projector, we didn't have high expectations for the W703D. But we're happy to say it confounds these negative expectations in almost every way that seriously matters.
Kicking off our tests with 2D, we were struck right away by the image's potent combination of brightness and contrast. It's by no means uncommon for a budget projector to go strong on brightness, as this is crucial to the data/presentations projection world that most budget projectors are, in truth, designed for. But for a projector to partner high levels of brightness with any sort of black level response like the BenQ W703D does is extremely rare. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that we've never seen a projector as cheap as the W703D deliver such acceptable black levels.
Dark parts of predominantly bright images don't exhibit the usual budget blue or grey tone nearly as severely as normal for this price point, while predominantly dark scenes exhibit less aggressive 'grey mist' than usual with budget projectors. Indeed, the BenQ W703D's contrast performance is to our mind better than that of the previously reviewed and more expensive W1060.
Watching material with a mixture of bright and dark content also reveals another startling strength of the BenQ W703D: minimal trouble with the rainbow effect. This RGB striping problem is rife on cheap - and even some not-so-cheap - single-chip DLP projectors, yet while the W703D certainly isn't immune to it, it's less of a distraction than we would have dreamed possible for under £500.
Similarly, while dark scenes on cheap single-chip DLP projectors tend to suffer with pronounced levels of greenish dot crawl, the BenQ W703D keeps this at a much more subdued level than expected, to the point where it isn't really a problem at all from a sensible viewing distance.
Thanks to its striking combination of brightness and at least passable black levels, the BenQ W703D's pictures hold up well whether you're watching them in ambient light or total darkness. This makes it just the sort of 'flexible friend' a relatively casual projector user will likely be after.
Respectable black levels like those delivered by the BenQ W703D are usually a good starting point for a believable colour palette. And so it proves with the W703D. In fact, over time the W703D's colour handling became our single favourite part of its performance. Not because it's perfect, of course; you're not going to get perfect for under £500. But simply because it's in a completely different league to the washed out, over-cooked or PC-biased tones you almost always get with sub-£800 projectors.
Skin tones, for instance, avoid remarkably well the orangey, yellowy, reddish or greenish undertones we'd have expected, instead looking startlingly believable across all sources - even standard definition ones.
I was going to buy this projector till I read about the 3d section. Do you get a good sense of 3d depth despite the poor contrast in 3d mode and is there no way of altering the colour and contrast settings in 3d mode?
Any help would be great.
OK, I did buy this projector and am very glad I did. The 2D is excellent as in the review with hardly any rainbows and the 3D is not too bad either. Their is a user setting for the 3D mode which I played about with and got decent colour and contrast levels. I compared it with my plasma 3D tv and found the colour was much brighter on the tv (no surprise there) but if I didnt make that comparison then the picture is very watchable and better than I thought it would be. It has the same depth levels as my plasma and being a bigger picture makes it more immersive. At this price point there will always be compromises to be made but the 3D is not that bad at all and the 2D is very good. Excellent projector.
Thanks for this excellent review. I wish I had the good fortune to have read it earlier but I agree with it 100%. There isnt much out there on the 703D, and having bought it recently, (July 2013), Im happy to enlighten people who are considering it.
This is one of those rare products that is cheap enough to match your budget and has pretty much everything you could ask of it except for a feature or two - namely 3D and 1080p. On the first issue, I cannot help: as a personal opinion they are a gimmick to me, and simply arent anywhere near real enough yet with the current generation of technology. Nor would I waste money on 3D blu-rays. If anything I would have preferred BenQ to have removed it and further improved 2D picture or the keystone/shift correction. On the 2nd issue of 1080p, I make a case below why its no better than the 703D below - provided u r watching DVDs or are considering a 1080p projector not much higher than this price range.
So whats my complaint of the 703D? Nothing to do with 720p or 3D or anything like that. Basically, its very inflexible and limiting when it comes to screen size (throw distance) and positioning. Something that the review alluded to.
Translated, that means you need to do 3 things when you set up this projector, and keep it in mind before you buy:
1. You must ensure the 703D is lined up centre-to-centre with your screen, otherwise you will experience distortion. (Your back wall must have its centre empty)
2. A limited zoom means you dont have much flexibility in throw distance - if you only have 10-12ft or space, dont expect to go much bigger or smaller than a 92" screen. (As a general guideline - if you want 80", keep the projector below 8.5ft, if you want 100" you will definetely need more than 12ft). For me, I have it ceiling mounted at about 10.5 ft away from the screen and I can *just* about get 92", and I was hoping for 100". This is slightly dissapointing - but everyone has different ideas of a good picture size depending on how far you sit. I am sitting at 10.2ft, for some that could be too close, for others, too far.
3. You must match the projector to a height exactly as your screen, and keep it absolutely straight, (i.e. no pitch), if you wish to avoid keystone correction. Despite the price point, the 703D does come with vertical keystone, so if you are not centred/straight, you have some flexibility but be prepared to experience some distortion if your projector's height means it has to be 'pitched'.
This is really the only crushing point for me - mounting and adjusting the projector has taken me weeks - WEEKS - to get exactly how I want it, but admittedly I am a perfectionist and was trying to squeeze every last mm out of the screen size without distortion. In the end, the problem has more to do with the variables of/in the room, than the projector itself.
Now, to support the review and anyone considering this projector: Yes I can vouch for the review! I think brightness, sharpness and contrast are excellent, (esp for the price), colour quality is acceptable, variety of inputs is exceptional, lack of noise is better than many 1080p projectors I tested, and the fact it was 720p, (rather than 1280x800) had decent contrast ratio, and low brightness meant it must have features and a lens designed for home theatre use, not a data presentation. The review proves this is the case as it is excellent for its intended purpose: films.
My intended use of this projector was primarily films, and secondary, video games.
My requirements were:
high contrast ratio (i.e. suggesting it was designed, and had features for, film use)
native resolution/aspect of a cinema standard (eg 1280x720 rather than 1280x768, and 16:9 rather than 16:10. Also suggesting it was designed for film use)
support for HDMI input from consoles and upscaling DVD player for highest quality possible
720p preferred for cost reasons
picture correction software (keystone and/or shift, as I couldnt account for all the variables when it comes to mounting, having options is re-assuring especially as it was my first projector)
While the limits of the projector alignment meant I cannot have my 703D centred (there is a split air-con in the way!), once you successfully reposition the depth/height of the projector, and once the films start, it all works very well and you wont be concerned with minute positioning! Lucid colours jump off the screen, and excellent contrast/brightness help to keep you involved.
Id also like to make a point about the so-called 'disadvantage' of 720p, If anything, I think its anything but. Its a good way to get good home theatre without putting a dent in your wallet. So before you dismiss anything 720p, think about if dismissing 1080p is the right way for you. Mostly, it saves you a lot of money, but there are 2 other compelling reasons: First, unless you are sitting upclose, or watching on a huge screen (read 120" and above), you probably will not even know the difference. Its a bit like comparing 16-bit colour depth with 32-bit colour depth on your desktop PC. While that analogy isnt technologically sound, you get the idea: yes theres a difference, but could you point out which is which at a glance? And would you pay more for something you cant even put your finger on except in extreme circumstances?
Second, unless you are using the projector with a high definition source, you are only really serving to 'future proof' yourself by going for 1080p. What that means is, if you are watching DVDs on a standard TV and then expect to see a huge jump in quality on a 720p/1080p projector you are in for a dissapointing shock. The output can only be as good as the source - and DVD is not high-definition. Far more important, is to purchase a usually-more-expensive DVD/blu-ray player that has an excellent upscaler, and pair it with a HDMI cable to the 703D. Putting the same upscaler to a 1080p projector at a similar price and you would be VERY hard pressed to see a difference.
There are other variables, but all else equal, the difference is minimal, much less improved.
So, unless you are watching high-definition cable/terrestrial TV, or a blu-ray disc, or playing an Xbox 360, or PS3, you are not going to get much benefit from 1080p.
This does bring up a different and perhaps more relevant question though: If you are looking at the 703D in the first place, it probably means you are not looking to spend much more than it costs, and any 1080p projector at a price level close to a 720p means its almost certainly entry-level. An entry-level 1080p only has the edge in resolution over a high-level 720p. What you gain in resolution, you lose in contrast ratio, picture quality, lens quality, shift/keystone. All of those things affect 'picture' quality. r.
Ultimately, we all have different ideas of what constitutes good quality, but look on the internet to compare 5000:1 and 10000:1 contrast ratio and like me, you may be swayed that a higher contrast ratio is superior to any advatange 1080p has over 720p in resolution. Earlier, I said how the 703D's picture really draws you in, thats got a lot more to do with contrast than resolution - at least to me. Most 1080p projectors at a similar price to the BenQ have much shallower contrast ratios. I also illustrated how difficult it was to set up the projector, a 1080p with no correction would h ave made things tremendously difficult as I used keystone heavily on the first few days of setup.
Overall, a great review, of a great home theatre projector. When you consider a data projector is just slightly cheaper than the 703D, but with less inputs, high brightness, and a resolution not designed for home theatre, the 703D is the no-brainer. Good luck!
Post Scriptum - although many of us have a large DVD collection, I used the money saved on the 703D rather than a 1080p to buy a 5.1 surround system with blu-ray to take advantage of the large screen and 5.1 setup for best picture quality. While my plan is to mainly use DVD, and spend on blu-rays for only my most favoured shows/films, blu rays also look great on the 703D. Yet I feel my point about 720p still holds - unless you are going for a huge size or sitting upclose, the difference between 720p and 1080p is negligible whether this is blu ray or not. The 703D is an excellent buy for home theatre use, unless you are used to high quality 1080p projectors costing twice or thrice as much or absolutely require 3D.
bought this beamer and the blacks are more like grey. Also there is a flicker on the screen. I'm using vga at the moment 1280 720 88 hz. tried all other resolutions and refresh rates but still keeps a flicker. Will try hdmi later but I'm not so happy as this review does not even mentions these two very obvious issues.
I would like to connect this projector directly to a cable TV receiver. The TV receiver signal comes out from a RCA cable (yellow for video, red and white for video) and on the back panel of this projector I can see a yellow video plug, but it is unusually far from the white and red audio plugs. Why? And are all these plugs on the projector "in" plugs? Again I do not understand why they didn't write it for example "Video IN".
As a projector, it's job is to take a video from a source and display it. Hence, all video connectors are "Video IN".
Be aware that RCA (the yellow video cable) does NOT support HD video. I would guess your TV Receiver is not HD or it would have HDMI rather than Component Out. So just be aware that the image quality might not be that good.
Thanks a lot!
I am in Kenya so there is no HD tv receiver, I believe. Not yet. But I will check. The thing is that the signal itself is not HD.
Don't you think it is odd that the audio input it so far from the yellow video input?
I haven't used this particular projector but I found the user manual PDF online. It seems those red / white RCA are in fact inputs, as you say.
Here's a couple more top tips:
1) You don't have to use the audio plus. Indeed, I expect the speaker inside the projector to be rubbish so if you're outputting video from your TV box to the projector, you can connect the audio to some speakers or even an iPod dock etc (anything with the right input)
2) RCA cables are as basic as they come. The colour coding is just to help the user. It sounds a little like you have all three as a bundle. You can usually separate the ends a little to reach, or maybe even strip them completely separately. Or just use a second cable (even if it's the wrong colour)
Good luck!
Thank you Geoff.
The problem is my cable TV receiver here in Kenya, I will have to buy a better one with an HDMI connection.
How do i connect my sound bar direct to my projector

Country Manor Shake metal roofing
Anyone have an opinion on this metal roof? The guy giving me the quote had a ton of pictures with addresses of work he had done in my area for the past 20 years. Everything was sounding really good until he said that it was OK to install over my existing asphalt shingle roof.:( He was quoting $15k for 27 squares, which didn't sound bad at all.
We have used it a few times, i like the look of it but even with the foam it dents with foot traffic, the more foot traffic the more dents. Everything we have done has been with a tear off, i do see the website says you can go over though.
I would rather tear off than go over. If i were you i would ask him for addresses of jobs he did as a go over and as a tear off, go look at them and see if you see a difference in the way the roof looks. Talk to his customers and see if they have any regrets with the go over.
Unless you remove the old shinlges how would you know if there's any sheathing damage under the shingles? Really going to suck if the new ones fail because of that one simple to take care of issue.
I would tear it off and put ice dams material over the whole deck and double in the valleys, then put on the metal shingles. What do the manufacturers installation instructions say?
OOps I forgot to mention, you need high temperature ice dams material under metal. I really dont like the fact that it dents, as someone else here said, and I thoroughly agree to tear off and inspect the deck for damage, and proper anchorage first.
By ice dam material I guess you really mean Storm and ice shield?
We do a decent bit of metal and going over top of existing asphalt is never a good idea in my opinion. In most cases, it invalidates much of the benefit of the metal roof.
+1 to the other feedback. Strip down to the deck completely and re-build from there as stated above.
What's the pitch on the roof?
Ice Dams Material
The first manufacturer, as far as I know was WR Grace with their Ice and Water shield.
This mateial is basically a peel and stick Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene rubberized asphalt material that was developed in response to Ice Damming.
There are now many manufacturers of the material, but as far as I know they are all based on SBS, and they all have a release backing of some type, usually craft paper.
They work by sealing around the shank of roofing nails as they are driven into the deck.
There is a particular type that is appropriate to metal roofing due to the elevated temperatures that are reached under that type of system, and if not used, the result can be dripping of sticky asphalt material down your fascia as the material melts.
Thanks all for the feedback. I couldn't agree more, and I don't care if the manufacture says to put the stuff on using peanut butter, I don't think roofing over my shingles is a good idea at all. It makes no sense to cover something with a lifespan of 15 years with something that could last over 50 years and costs so much to install. It was shocking hearing someone with decades of experience and had been doing just metal roofs for 20 some years (he looked like it too!) just say he'd go right over my existing roof. I honestly think my mouth was hanging open in awe.:laughing: My biggest concern with the new roof is that I'm about 99% sure that the original OSB decking from 1978 is still present on the roof, and a previous roofer covered the upper roof OSB with plywood at some point. (Two story home with single story attached garage, all 12/4 slope) I didn't think you needed ice and water shield under metal. I thought that they just laid down a nice heavy felt.
Andy I never thought about it denting until you mentioned it. Considering I'm going to get my siding replaced after the roof is done they might make a real mess.:( I was also considering standing seam which I'm now thinking might be a better choice, but I've been told by several people that they think standing seam is ugly and they'd never by a house with it. If I were go with this guy I'd make sure we were on the same page about tear off and I'd get some addresses from the area and knock on some doors.
You could tear off, repalce any wood that needs replacing and dry in the deck, leave the roofing off in the areas that need siding until it is completed...then roof it. This works well but it also depends on the layout of the home and when the siding is expected to go on.
As for the denting, it is the truth. Do not let them them tell you otherwise. It can be minimized by adding the foam insert for every roof panel, but you still HAVE to be careful. No one with anything besides a soft soled tennis shoe should walk on it... and even then minimize the foot traffic, better yet dont let anyone up on the roof.
I have pics of the last repair i did on the CM, 40 + sqs all dented to hell. Multiple roof mounted AC units and too much foot traffic in general destroyed it. I will check my work PC for the pic in the morning.
I would personally not install a roof system that dented from foot traffic. That means that hail will dent the heck out of it doesn't it? You would be wise to really check the warranty of these systems, most of them guarantee no leaks through the metal panels. That does not include the seams. Make sure you can get a SYSTEM warranty, not a product warranty. Thats about as good as a Kodak Film Warranty. They supply you with a new roll of film, the coast of the trip back to Africa to film the lion is on you.
Just so you know, asphalt shingles are without question the best buy there is in a steep roofing material, hands down. And they don't dent.
That particular roof is Aluminum, even with the foam insert it is still not the strongest material. It can be walked on easily, the problem is trades lie about knowing how to and they smash it up. I flashed around a new roof mounted AC on the last one i did, the AC guy, (260lbs btw) is up there wearing heavy boots smahing all my new panels i just put in. Its not comp, you need to take some care and use common sense. If you smash the first panel you stand on then you should probably get off the roof. You will get not get a different result on the next panel you stand on.
The cost of this particular roof is high, the OP could very well get a SS for around the same $ and it would be far more walkable. The CM is great looking and its a good system, but i wouldnt put it on my home...id put that $ into SS or even a stone coated shake direct to deck application.
Andy, if you can find that picture I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm starting to think that I don't want this stuff. It looks really nice but it sounds too fragile. I can just imagine some big bubba strutin' across my nice new shingles smashing them in as he goes. It'll be hell getting someone to pay for their replacement, that's for sure. I think I'll look for a few more metal roofers in the area and get at least another quote for a standing seam and see how it compares. Jagans, I'll make sure to pay closer attention to the warranties, as you make a good point.
I agree that denting from foot traffic is likely to be a problem. Here in New Zealand, is where the stone coated steel tile system was invented back in the 1950's, and is still popular. We routinely tear off the old ones and replace with asphalt shingles, on some roofs we have to really search to find any tiles that are not dented. If you're close to the sea, corrosion is a problem too. Go to the roofing talk forum and search for "decra to shingle reroof", you'll see what I mean.

Jessie Belle Hardy Stubbs MacKaye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jessie Belle Hardy Stubbs MacKaye (1876 - April 18, 1921) was president of the Milwaukee Women's Peace Society.
She attended Columbia University and was the legislative chair of the Women's Peace Society in New York City. She was noted for "urging all women to remain unmarried or to refuse to bear children until some efficient means should be devised to secure the world against the devastation of war." Jessie Stubbs died by suicide in 1921 by drowning herself in the East River.[1][2] While grieving her death, husband Benton MacKaye began formulating the idea that became the Appalachian Trail.[3]

Benton Mackaye, writer and forestry expert of 145 West Twelfth Street, asked the police at 1 o'clock yesterday to search for his wife, Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs Mackaye, President of the Milwaukee Women's Peace Society and ...

His marriage to leading suffragette Jessie Hardy Stubbs produced headlines in 1921, when she drowned herself in New York City's East River. Charles Whitaker, a friend and editor of the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, invited the devastated MacKaye to stay at his farm in Mount Olive, NJ. There, as he healed, MacKaye nurtured his most famous idea—the Appalachian Trail.

Travel to Norway
In Spitsbergen, an archipelago in the Norwegian Sea, the human population of 2,500 is roughly the same as its polar bear population. Covered by glaciers, Svalbard, as it is known in Norwegian, means "cold coast" – an ideal habitat for polar bear, and the best place to see these threatened creatures free and wild.
Deep in this great Arctic wilderness, one sees only a vast expanse of white. There are no roads, trails or signs, except for the large paw prints of the polar bear. Travelling to Spitsbergen in search of the polar bear is truly not for everyone, as there are many environmental challenges. Although temperatures are bitterly cold and winds fierce, the reward of viewing the magnificent polar bear is immeasurable.
Abercrombie & Kent takes great care to prepare you for the adverse weather conditions, and you travel with an expedition guide with years of experience around polar bears and in extreme environments. A polar bear trek is much more than an amazing wildlife encounter – it is a chance to test yourself in one of nature's harshest climes, and to experience one of its most beautiful environments.

Seabird Centre Junior Tour Guides
The Scottish Seabird Centre has worked in partnership with Law Primary School and Illuminate UK to launch a new environmental educational experience for visiting school groups - Junior Tour Guides.
The Junior Tour Guides feature P6 pupils from North Berwick's primary school who all had to audition for their starring roles. They have since had to learn an extensive script which focuses on two time periods: the early 20th century and the modern day.
Split into groups, the pupils take visiting schools on a journey exploring four different themes:
- Edwardian ladies – a look at changing attitudes towards wildlife and the natural world, and the impact tourism has on local ecosystems.
- Lighthouse keepers – life for people in the Firth of Forth and on the islands, looking at how shipping and industry affected the birds and wildlife of the surrounding seas.
- Birdwatchers – a look at the birdlife in the Forth, with a focus on the lives and behaviours of gannets and puffins.
- Fisherfolk – a focus on different methods of fishing, comparing which ones are more sustainable and less damaging to wildlife, and how fishing practices have changed over time.
With these key topics they are able to highlight the difference in attitudes towards marine life and conservation, and show how our relationship with the sea has changed in regards to tourism, fishing and other sea-based industries.
These exclusive tours are available for school groups who book education visits to the Scottish Seabird Centre. Each of these tours last around 40 minutes, taking the classes around different areas of the Discovery Centre, with a ten minute 'play' in each location.
The Junior Tour Guide visits should be booked in advance by calling 01620 890202 or emailing email@example.com There is no additional cost.
