The Oakland Raiders decided not to cough up the massive dollar amount to franchise tag left tackle Jared Veldheer. The team and Veldheer were also not able to reach a deal before free agents are allowed to meet with other teams today. As a result, the Miami Dolphins are shown some interest in the left tackle.
Per the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson:
"And the Dolphins today also reached out to Oakland free agent left tackle Jared Veldheer, who missed 11 games last season with a torn triceps. Veldheer is an option if Miami doesn't sign Albert or Saffold or Monroe."
This is turning out to be very good news for the Raiders because the Dolphins view Veldheer as a back-up plan to Eugene Monroe, Rodger Saffold, and Branden Albert. General manager Reggie McKenzie seems unwilling to overpay to keep any of the Raiders free agents. He allowed Veldheer to test the market and that gamble could pay off. If teams view Veldheer like the Dolphins, it will help solidify his market value and give the Raiders a better idea of what teams are willing to pay for his services.
Veldheer will certainly want to squeeze as much value as he can out of his free agency. A decision does not seem imminent, unless a team blows him away with an offer. In any case, the Raiders should have final say in matching offers for Veldheer. McKenzie has displayed confidence throughout the negotiations with Veldheer through his actions. Those instincts could save the Raiders a few million if teams won't overspend to entice Veldheer out of Oakland.

"I ordered several copies of my son during him first week & was able to put his full name at the bottom. It looks so sweet! They were gifts for the grandparents & our home & everyone just loves them! I wish they were available with more phrases or that was customizable as well. Absolutely just love them!"
"I ordered a 12 x 12 mounted print of my son's birth announcement. I wasn't sure what to expect. The quality of everything I ever received from Tiny Prints has been awesome. This went above my expectations. Thank you for creating such a wonderful memorial piece for my son."
"The print quality is fantastic, and the design is wonderful. The wood mounted frame is sorta cheesy though. I had never purchased one before, but it was cheaper so I thought I'd give it a try. I think the Canvas printed version would have been much nicer. In hind sight I should have sprung for that version. Over all I'm very happy with the final product though. Shipping was fast and arrived just fine."
"I personalized this piece of art with facial shots of my newborn. Capturing her expressions in such a simplistic way was beautiful! The quality of the work was outstanding. I take photos with the date in the corner so I can remember events when they happen - but I was irritated I couldn't get the date out of one of the shots. I figured oh well - but they edited it out for me - and it looks so fabulous - I am so happy with the work. Delivery was fast and the packaging kept my piece of art nice and safe! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants something great to hang on their wall."
""I love it love it love. I bought 3 different black and white prints. I love that it comes with a mounting and you do not need to drill or do anything to the prints. The only thing that i don't like in the mounting is that it is not placed correctly making the print hard to center. I wish that it was redesigned. All the company has to do is turn the mounting so that the circle part is on top.""

Full Report: Ioka-Yodgoen
By Joe Koizumi
Photo: Boxing Beat
Unbeaten WBC 105-pound champ Kazuto Ioka (9-0, 6 KOs), 105, easily kept his belt as he quickly polished off Thai challenger and WBC youth titlist Yodgoen Tor Chalermchai (8-1, 4 KOs), 104.25, at 1:38 of the first round on Saturday in Osaka, Japan.
Ioka's left hook was a haymaker that dropped the Thailander with a thud. The referee Bruce McTavish (Philippines) promptly called a halt with the loser carried out on a stretcher.
Ioka, 22, impressively captured the WBC belt by disposing of previously unbeaten Oleydong Sithsamerchai with a single body shot in agony in the fifth round this February. The Thai challenger Yodgoen, ex-champ Oleydong's stablemate, was also unbeaten like Ioka and a year his junior at twenty-one.
But we couldn't see Yodgoen's real power well, as the fight terminated so quickly only in 98 seconds.
The youngsters began to exchange sharp jabs as the contest started. Ioka, making his second defense, felt out the shorter challenger with good left leads, and connected with a left hook to the body following a right uppercut to the face. The body shot almost had Yodgoen's legs buckled and had him a stationary target.
Ioka swarmed over him and landed a vicious short left hook to the face. Yodgoen fell prone with the well-timed coup-de-grace. It was such a beautiful left hook if we do not compare it with that of Sugar Ray Robinson over Gene Fullmer or Sugar Ray Leonard over David Boy Green.
Ioka, whose amateur mark was 95-10, 64 stoppages, failed to represent Japan in the last Olympic games in Beijing in 2008. He dropped out of Tokyo Agricultural University that year to turn professional from his uncle Hiroki's gym. He made a pro debut in April 2009, and broke the Japanese record of the quickest world coronation in the seventh pro bout.
Kazuto, usually coached by his father/promoter Kazunori (Hiroki's elder brother), used to be coached by Cuban trainer Ismael Salas who once handled his uncle Hiroki in the twilight of his career. Though Salas couldn't come to work the corner this time, Kazuto fully showed his potential and progress as well.
Kazuto happily said, "I had a good year as I became the world champ and kept my belt twice. I wish to win the second belt in the next division next year." The vastly talented champ fought in the flyweight category when amateur, and reportedly has had a severe weight problem. Before moving up to the 108-pound division, Ioka personally wishes to fight WBA minimum champ Akira Yaegashi for unification.
Although it was such a quick demolition, the crowd of estimated 8,000 didn't complain of the too short end but praised Ioka's stunning stoppage. We may look forward to watching Kazuto's bright future in 2012.
Former K-1 battler Kyotaro Fujimoto, 223, made a successful pro debut in the international style fighting as he floored Australian Michael O'Donnell (6-15, 3 KOs), 220.5, in the fifth round, winning a unanimous nod (all 60-53) over six.
Ex-WBA super-fly champ Nobuo Nashiro, 118, decked Thailander Norasing Patanakan Gym, 116.75, twice with body shots and finally knocked him out at 2:36 of the second round in a scheduled ten.
Unbeaten OPBF light-fly champ Ryo Miyazaki (16-0-3, 10 KOs), 109, easily stopped Kaenpetch Sithpoopetch, 108, from Thailand, at 1:35 of the third round in a scheduled non-title eight.
Promoter: Ioka Promotions.

I need both of the following sites redesigned,
www.amalafrica.com.ly www.hotel.com.ly
color should remain the same (company color is green) Logos and other pics from the can be used.
I like a light colored site Web 2-ish….both sites must have contact forms and hotel site should have a room booking form, that will email results to an email address. It is important that the sites be highly optimized for SEO purposes. We are a catering and hotel company so graphics should reflect that.
I would like to see a mockup of your idea in Jpeg format and the price per site.
So your asking for a mockup before paying for it?
Could you send me an e-mail to contact ['@'] garethgillman.co.uk and we can sort out a price and get some designs knocked up.
So your asking for a mockup before paying for it?
Please read my post… yes i asked for a mockup in Jpeg (a screenshot) I don't want a HTML page. Do you think I will just hand over money before I see what you are offering?? If you are not willing to do this, its very simple don't offer your services. I don't think its an unreasonable request. After all I have posted my companies web sites, so I am not really going to rip you off.
Umm.. lol
That's not how it works. Sorry.
lol !
Brb spending 2 hours making a mock up just not get the job
First pay half of all price, then u will se 1st mockup.
Wow, all he did was ask if you're asking for a mock-up first and you go all insane on him. What's with the attitude? I doubt anyone will want to work with such an obnoxiously arrogant client.
Aside from this, we can't just create a site mock-up if there's chances we won't get any money at all. Doing a mock-up requires work too you know, we have to do all the design elements ourselves as well as making sure everything can be placed properly with html like in the mock-up designed.
Good luck.
Ha! That's like going to an architect and saying "Draft me a full house plan, and if I like it I'll pay you to start building it."

The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) ended their disappointing season with a 19-13 win against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday.
With the loss, the Colts (2-14) are guaranteed of the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. That means the Jaguars will likely see quarterback Andrew Luck in a Colts' jersey for the next decade or so.
Still, the Jaguars wouldn't have had it any other way, sending Wayne Weaver off in the sunset in his last game as the team's owner.
In a tip-of-the cap to Weaver–who sold the team to Shahid Kahn in November–Maurice Jones-Drew had one of his best performances of the season.
The Pro Bowl running back had a season-high 169 yards rushing on 25 carries, giving him the NFL rushing title. The performance also pushed Jones-Drew past Fred Taylor for the franchise record for rushing yards in a season (1,572), as the diminutive back ended the year with 1,606.
Rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert was efficient, completing 11-of-19 passes and throwing a touchdown to finish a rocky campaign on a high note. He was responsible for scoring the first points of the game when he connected with receiver Chastin West for a 23-yard touchdown pass.
Kicker Josh Scobee made four-of-four field goal attempts as both teams traded kicks the rest of the way until Indianapolis scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter cut Jacksonville's lead to 19-13. The Jaguars were able to keep run out the remaining three minutes to preserve the victory in the season finale.
This was the first time the Colts were sweeped by an AFC South opponent since 2002.

County backtracks on deal with attorneys
The Wadena County Board voted to terminate its child in need of protective services and termination of parental rights legal services contract with attorneys Harry Taves and Ryan Ries after agreeing to sign it Aug. 5.
The $15,000 contract hired Taves' and Ries' services as defense attorneys for these cases for the remainder of 2008.
Commissioner Mary Harrison said she did not understand the terms of the contract clearly, particularly how they compared to a payment plan presented by County Attorney Kyra Ladd.
She had questions after hearing that CHIPS and TPR cases were decreasing, Harrison said.
Auditor Char West said Ladd informed her that only one case had gone to court since Aug. 5 and it took about a half hour. The payment plan Ladd presented was for a set fee ranging from $500 to $3,000 per case.
"I was unhappy that perhaps I had made a bad choice," Harrison said during the Aug. 21 county board meeting.
Chairman Orv Meyer said he also misunderstood the decision the board made.
"I thought it was something different, that we were following recommendation," he said.
Commissioner Dave Schermerhorn asked what the misunderstanding had been.
"Basically, which is the least expensive way to pay," Harrison said.
Commissioner Bill Stearns said the board doesn't know which plan will be the least expensive.
"The only way we know is to have a crystal ball or hindsight," he said.
West said it is her understanding that the number of CHIPS and TPR cases are decreasing because of changes social services has made in the way it processes things.
"[Ladd's] projecting that there will be fewer cases," Harrison said.
When Ladd presented her payment plan to the county board Aug. 5 she included an e-mail she received from Paul Sailer, the county's human services director, saying that the agency planned to reduce the number of children in out-of-home placements from a current monthly average of 30 to an average of 20 in 2009. He indicated that social services will emphasize Signs of Safety placements and Family Group Decision Making, resulting in less court time.
Stearns said the board should worry about how it's going to pay for the CHIPS and TPR representation next year, rather than taking so long to decide the contract for this year.
Harrison asked how much money the county would save by canceling the contract with Taves and Ries with 30 days notice.
West said $9,000.
That's if the county doesn't get some $3,000 cases, Schermerhorn said.
Meyer said, "But there aren't that many cases."
The decrease in cases could be a trend, Schemerhorn said.
"But now, all of a sudden, if we get hit with six of them ... what do we say?" he asked.
Stearns also brought up the recommendation by the Association of Minnesota Counties that counties provide a good defense for parents in CHIPS and TPR cases to avoid getting sued for inadequate defense later.
Harrison said she didn't understand concerns about insufficient defense because the judge has the right to appoint the defense attorney. She didn't think either of the district judges would appoint an attorney incapable of doing the job, she said.
She made a motion to terminate the contract with 30 days notice.
Commissioner Lane Waldahl, who voted against the contract with Taves and Ries Aug. 5, said he thought the board should go with the county attorney's recommendation.
The board unanimously agreed to terminate the contract with Taves and Ries and to accept Ladd's per case payment plan.
The county became responsible for providing defense attorneys for CHIPS and TPR cases in July after the State of Minnesota Board of Public Defense announced it would no longer cover these cases due to budget cuts.

Race for Rookie of the Year
Yep, the race is on and and Robert Griffin has set the pace. Which other rookies filled out the Top 10 this week? Khaled Elsayed introduces the 2012 Race for ...
Race for Rookie of the Year
Every race has to have a starting spot. With the NFL season now a game old, the marathon that is the race for the Pro Football Focus Rookie of the Year Award is well and truly underway.
Over the past two years Devin McCourty and Von Miller have taken it home, and now it's up to the 2012 class to try and follow in their footsteps. This isn't like any other contest that falls in line with the guy making the most highlight reel plays or getting the most media attention. This is based on what happens on the field, and is done with an 'all positions created equal' mantra.
It may not be how the real thing works out, but for us, it's the way it should be done.
So, who leads after Week 1? Even accounting for the extra media hype it could really only be one man…
1. Robert Griffin III, QB, WAS (+4.0)
It's the hardest position to play and RG3 made it look easy for a rookie. With an offensive line that protected him, Griffin made all the right decisions in having an Accuracy Percentage of 88% (best of the week in the entire NFL).
2. Dont'a Hightower, LB, NE (+5.0)
He made plays in every area of the game with a fumble recovery for a touchdown, four defensive stops, and three quarterback hurries. If he makes that kind of impact a regular thing, then the sky really is the limit for Hightower.
3. Chandler Jones, DE, NE (+3.5)
While he lost the Patriot bragging rights this week, Jones can take plenty of pride in his performance against a top-end left tackle like Michael Roos. Capable of playing with his hand in the dirt or in a two-point stance, Jones forced a fumble on a sack while adding a hit, two hurries, and some stellar run defense.
4. Kendall Reyes, DE, SD (+3.3)
Has San Diego found a new player to get pressure up the gut? The second-rounder had a field day against Alex Parsons and Mike Brisiel, picking up a hit and five pressures.
5. Stephen Hill, WR, NYJ (+2.4)
The confusion continues. Great in training camp, horrible in the preseason, and now a star of Week 1. Hill walked away with a Yards Per Route Run average of 4.24 — fourth-best of the entire week.
6. Bobby Wagner, LB, SEA (+2.6)
He didn't always look great in preseason, but Wagner responded when it really mattered despite being limited to just 32 defensive snaps. Picked up a pressure by beating Ryan Williams inside, and showed a knack for making his way to the ball carrier with a tackle for a loss and another for a short gain.
7. Kelechi Osemele, OT, BLT (+2.2)
You didn't really notice Osemele, and that's a good thing. Rarely tested in the run game, he gave up just the one hit and one pressure in a convincing debut.
8. L.J. Fort, LB, CLV (+2.8)
The undrafted free agent will be thinking what could have been; a dropped interception ultimately being the difference between a shock win for the Browns and a valiant defeat. But let's credit the guy for picking up a sack and an interception earlier in the game as he quickly made a name for himself.
9. Doug Martin, RB, TB (+1.1)
It wasn't the most dynamic performance we've ever seen, but Martin made some plays to end up with 118 yards from scrimmage. If they can open that offense up a bit more, then we could really start to see something from him.
10. Blair Walsh, K, MIN (+3.8)
A kicker has never made this list before. But then a rookie kicker, since we've been writing this piece, has never kicked a 55-yarder to take a game to overtime before hitting the game winner in the extra period. Enjoy this moment because it's going to take weekly performances like that to stay on the list.
Five to watch
Evan Rodriguez, FB, CHI: A kicker makes the list and now we're telling you to watch out for a fullback? When Rodriguez plays that well, what else can we do?
Lavonte David, LB, TB: I've been bitten once before by a Bucs rookie linebacker starting well and then turning into a missed tackling machine. David is, however, off to a good start.
Melvin Ingram, OLB, SD: Penalties aside, Ingram looks like a player who is going to generate pressure, even if his snaps are limited.
Fletcher Cox, DT, PHI: Didn't get on the field a great deal, but responded with a sack, a hurry, and a defensive stop in the run game.
Mike Martin, DT, TEN: What is it about Tennessee and rookie defensive tackles? They just plug them in and they play well from Day 1.
There are a lot of big name rookies yet to really make their mark, but stay with us on this journey as we embark upon the Race for the Pro Football Focus Rookie of the Year.

Toledo powers its way to sweep
Columbus swept in doubleheader as Mud Hens use the longball
By Columbus Clippers | April 19, 2014 9:40 PM ET
Toledo went into Saturday leading the International League in home runs and the margin got much wider after the doubleheader. Toledo scored 15 runs in the two games on seven homers as the Mud Hens (7-10) took both games Saturday to win the series against the Columbus Clippers (5-10).
The winning pitchers for Toledo were Duane Below (2-0, 1.93 ERA) and Jhan Marinez (1-1, 6.23 ERA). Below went five innings allowing one run on five hits in game one while Marinez pitched one and one-thirds innings in relief allowing two runs on two hits in game two. Melvin Mercedes picked up the save, his second, in game two allowing just one run, a Jesus Aguilar homer, in one and two-thirds innings.
Tyler Cloyd (1-2, 7.56 ERA) and Vinnie Pestano (0-1, 2.25 ERA) were the losing pitchers in the twinbill. Cloyd gave up eight runs in five innings on nine hits, four of which were homers, for the 8-1 Clippers loss in game one. Pestano pitched an inning in relief and only allowed one run, but was on the hill when Toledo took a 6-5 lead in the fifth. Columbus lost game two 7-6.
Game one was the J.D. Martinez and Ezequiel Carrera show. The two combined to drive in all eight of Toledo's runs in the game. Martinez hit three homers on the first three pitches he saw, going 3-4 on the game with 5 RBI on two two-run homers and a solo shot. Carrera bombed a three-run dinger across the street over the right field wall at Huntington Park. Carrera was 2-4 in game one.
Game two was much of the same offensively as Carrera went 3-4 with two runs scored and Martinez hit his IL-leading 10th home run in the first inning to give the Mud Hens a 2-0 lead. Toledo also got solid production from Tyler Collins in game two as he went 2-4 with a solo homer and a 2-run double. The two games for Collins Saturday afternoon were his first two in AAA baseball.
Although the offense was seemingly non-existent for Columbus in game one Jose Ramirez and Jesus Aguilar each reached safely, Aguilar with a single in the third and Ramirez with a walk in the first and single in the seventh, to extend their season-long on base streaks. They are tied for second behind Carrera, who has played in two more games than Ramirez and Aguilar.
Game two was a back-and-forth affair. Toledo got out two a quick 2-0 lead on Martinez's fourth homer of the doubleheader and fifth of the series. Columbus drew the bases loaded on three straight walks in the bottom of the first and tied the game 2-2. Columbus scored one in the bottom of the third, but the lead was short lived as Collins tied it with his homer in the fourth. After the Clippers scored a pair in the fourth to retake the lead, Toledo scored three in the fifth and an insurance run in the sixth. The insurance run was needed as Aguilar hit a solo shot off the scoreboard in right field to lead off the seventh and make it a one-run ballgame. The Clippers then went in order to end the game.
The two teams are off Easter Sunday, but will wrap up the series Monday night, a Dime-A-Dog Night at Huntington Park. The game is scheduled for a 6:35 p.m. first pitch.

Price : USD 3,499.00
The top of the De Rosa range is made complete with a new series of frames: 888 Superking in the "R", "SR" and "E" models.
The "E" model was designed to be exclusively. Dedicated for the mounting of electronic units. It is a project in synergy with Campagnolo engineers. This model features the possibility of recharging the battery via a plug positioned underneath the water bottle holder.
The "R" and "SR" models are instead dedicated to those who choose mechanical mounting units. The series 888 superking is characterized by a "blend" of 3 different types of composite fibers MR-60 (295 GPA/5800MPA), HR-40 (390GPA/4610MPA) and NGF's 630GPA.
Addition of structural reinforcements were added at the points of greatest stress using a "complex" of high modulus fibers.
The structure of the frame is certainly refined and advanced, intended to provide a low overall weight, high rigidity, but with a better absorption to vibration. The 888 series is the world's first SuperKing characterized by this component of the vibration damping, unique and harmonious distributed uniformly on the structure of the rear seat tube and fork.
Proposal with regular geometry, and in 8 sizes.

Task force arrest Ficklen with drugs
According to Abbeville Police Chief Rick Coleman and Sheriff Mike Couvillon, the Vermilion Parish Municipal Narcotics Task Force made one narcotic arrest.
Agents with the Task Force arrested 18-year-old James Ficklen of Abbeville for Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Marijuana, and Resisting an Officer.
While Task Force agents were doing narcotics surveillance in a known drug activity area they observed suspicious activities being conducted by James Ficklen and when he was approached by Task Force Agents he broke and ran. When the suspect was apprehended, narcotics were found on him.
Chief Rick Coleman and Sheriff Mike Couvillon would like to thank the public for their awareness of drug activities in their neighborhoods and calling in such activities to the Task Force.

Software AG today announced its cloud strategy. It is based on services that are already available, one that will soon be available (H2 2013), as well as a service planned for Q1 2014.
Journalists have already been in touch with me, asking the following question: Is this an overdue "coming out" after many competitors have already announced or offered extensive cloud strategies — or is this a courageous act from a leading technology firm demonstrating its strength in innovation?
I've known Software AG quite well for many years and believe that today's announcement marks the next stage in a 10-year corporate turnaround strategy. I well remember the time before Karl-Heinz Streibich took over a nearly bankrupt software vendor 10 years ago. Since then, the firm has been through a financial stabilization phase, which saw both a spending and innovation freeze in many areas. Then, Software AG started to renovate its existing products to stabilize its market share, innovating both carefully and cost-effectively. The third phase saw its acquisition of webMethods and IDS Scheer, which brought the firm sufficient scale in both current products and consulting services. For more details, see my earlier blog post.

Prior to its annual Sapphire event next week, SAP today announced the new SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. As I have followed SAP's platform and cloud strategy for years and covered platform-as-a-service (PaaS) in general for Forrester since the beginning, I'd like to quickly share my point of view:
SAP is targeting the very large enterprise market with the Hana Enterprise Cloud.
Vishal pointed out today that some of the largest SAP customers run SAP systems on their premises that, with a single tenant, are far bigger than many of the native SaaS apps – with all of their tenants. All SAP products are available on Amazon's AWS; however, many SAP customers use it just for dev, test, and disaster recovery. SAP's message is based on the trust relationship it has by combining an ISV and managed service provider in one company. Amazon won't care about any of the issues that customers might have with larger HANA systems on their general-purpose hardware. So, we are talking about a trust relationship between customers and SAP, which is more similar to salesforce.com than to Amazon.
Half-baked business model
The Hana Cloud is a very careful move to a new business model. It is not disruptive and will NOT accelerate Hana usage to the many more customers who have been struggling with Hana on-premises because of its licensing.

Short Term Vs Long Term Investment Options
A rupee saved is a rupee earned. This saying definitely holds true as it highlights the importance of savings and investments. Today, there are several investment options present. However, while deciding which investment option to go in for, you must analyze your risk-return parameters as well as other factors like your age, the time period or term of investment and so on.
Short term investments
Short term investments work best when you don't want to make investments for longer period of time and need funds handy in a short period of time. For short term investments to give significant returns, you should have a good lump sum of money to invest. Many a times, investments are affected by market volatility, and it may not be possible for short term investments to generate good returns owing to this volatility.
Even when you are investing for a short term, it's best to not put all your eggs in a single basket. Diversifying your investments will help reduce the risk and safeguard your returns.
Short term investment options
Savings accounts: These type of accounts help you keep aside your money in a safe place. The bank pays a small amount of interest on your savings every month. You may require to maintain a minimum balance (for example, $25) or no balance at all; depending upon the bank.
The returns on savings accounts are quite low. However, they are a good way to manage your basic personal finances.
Money market accounts: These type of accounts are generally handled by banks or brokerages. These accounts give you the option to put aside the money that may be used in future investments or the money that you have earned from the sale of a security. The returns are quite low in these type of accounts.
Money market funds: In case of money market funds, the risks are low and the returns are comparatively higher. Here, you can store the money that is not invested at present. Usually, brokerages manage these type of funds which offer great liquidity.
Certificates of Deposit: In case of CDs also, the risk is low while the returns are high. These are safe instruments that offer good returns in exchange of the money that remains invested till the CD matures.
Treasury Securities: Treasury securities are also a good short term investment option. They offer decent returns and good liquidity in the short term.
Long term investments
The advantage of long term investments is that they are able to take care of the market fluctuations over a period of time and generate good returns in comparison to short term investments.
In this case also, it's important to diversify your portfolio so that the risk is minimized and the returns are maximized.
Long term investment options
Stocks or shares: Stocks trade on exchanges (such as NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange). When one purchase shares of a company, he becomes part owner of that company.
The share prices fluctuate depending upon the market and the performance of the company. It's important to stay invested for longer periods to be able to gain good returns on the investment in shares.
Investing in shares can be quite risky. If it's not possible for you to track the market on a regular basis, it's best to seek professional help when you wish to sell existing shares or buy new shares.
Bonds: Governments and businesses raise money through the issuance of bonds. An interest is paid on the amount invested in the bond – which depends on the ability of the borrower to pay the original loan amount. Generally if the risk is high, the returns are also high but the chances of losing all the money is also high.
The type of bond also depends on the duration or the term of the bond. The money earns interest for the term invested. Certain bonds pay the principal and interest at intervals during the term while others pay everything when the bond matures.
Mutual Funds: A mutual fund is a pool of money that is collected from several investors and invested by an Asset Management Company according to the objectives of the investors or the mutual fund scheme.
Mutual funds have several advantages. The money is professionally managed by fund managers, there are several options available (such as growth option or dividend option, to name a few), and they offer liquidity and transparency. Diversification is also possible through investing in mutual funds as a single mutual fund invests in a bunch of different securities depending upon the objectives of the scheme.
So, when deciding to invest, it's best to analyze the pros and cons of different securities – whether short term or long term. It's also important to know the time that you want to stay invested as well as the amount of returns that you are expecting out of the investment. Diversification is the key element that helps in balancing the risks and returns in any form of investment.

Painting over red walls
Hi all: I'm repainting a small deep red bathroom (took me 6 coats, wish I came here first to find out about tinting the primer) and I'm wondering if instead of using kilz or some other such primer, can I use left over paint? I've got various shades of light green and yellow, it's behr and benjamin moore, about 2 years old, has been stored properly and the consistency looks fine.
I hate to just dump this no longer needed paint, not to mention buying primer when I might not need it.
Absolutely. I do that all the time but it would depend on what color you are going to end up with as a finish coat. Sometimes you can make your job harder if you put an even stranger color on the walls and then try to cover that with a finish color. The Benjamin moore is what I would use first. What color do you want to end up with ?
Hi: I'm probably going to paint it a light tan color, or something off white - not dark, though. I should point out the paint smells ok, too - I've opened old paint that's gone rancid, and know the difference.
Also, from what I've read, I gather I should lightly sand the walls before I put anything on it?

Iditarod veteran keeps on mushing despite devastating Alaska wildfire
By Steve Quinn
JUNEAU, Alaska (Reuters) - Dee Dee Jonrowe, who will start the grueling Iditarod sled-dog race through Alaska's wilderness for the 34th time this year, has long been known as a survivor, having endured a deadly car crash, cancer, frostbite and numerous injuries on the trail.
But her reputation for resolve has taken on fresh meaning with this year's nearly 1,000-mile (1,600 km) test of endurance, which comes just months after a wildfire destroyed her home in the town of Willow and the kennel where she housed her dog team.
"This is the hardest year I've ever had - I mean the hardest," she said before setting out on Sunday from Willow, the official starting point of the Iditarod. "I lost everything. I've done a lot of crying this last year."
Willow, a sprawling area about an 80-mile drive north of Anchorage, is the hub of Alaska's dog-sledding community. More than 1,000 sled dogs were evacuated by residents during wildfires that eventually scorched 7,220 acres and engulfed more than 50 structures, according to local government assessments.
"My neighborhood was ground zero," Jonrowe said.
"It was scary. It was, grab this dog, grab that dog, and doing it all over again," the veteran musher remembered, describing frantic efforts to save her team as the blaze approached her compound last summer.
Jonrowe, 62, and her husband Mike were able to get all their working dogs to safety, according to her website, and they have since rebuilt their home of 35 years. Three other mushers also lost their homes to the wildfires only to return to Willow and resume training for this year's race.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which typically takes nine days or longer to complete, commemorates a 1925 rescue mission that delivered diphtheria serum by sled-dog relay to the Bering Sea coastal community of Nome. A ceremonial start was staged in Anchorage on Saturday. Continued...

Iron Lady or monster? Thatcher film stirs UK passions
By Mohammed Abbas
LONDON (Reuters) - No one inflames British passions quite like Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minister whose biopic "The Iron Lady" has rekindled debate on her legacy ahead of the film's release on Friday.
Legions of admirers cast her as a pioneering politician whose bold policies rescued Britain from economic collapse, but equally numerous detractors see her as a heartless champion of free market orthodoxy at the expense of the poor.
Memories of her 1979-1990 rule have come into sharper focus for many Britons because the country is again grappling with high unemployment, spending cuts, tensions with Europe, union discontent and riots -- all features of the Thatcher years.
"Her legacy is enormous," said Conservative lawmaker John Whittingdale, who was once Thatcher's political secretary.
"She carried through policies that transformed Britain and indeed Britain's relationship with the world, which will never be reversed and nor would anyone contemplate reversing them."
He cited Thatcher's role in ending the Cold War through her alliance with then U.S. President Ronald Reagan, which along with her successful prosecution of the 1982 Falklands war with Argentina, bolstered British authority on the world stage.
Thatcher's admirers also credit her with turning around, through privatizations and deregulation, what they saw as a quasi-socialist British economy in steep decline and at the mercy of powerful unions when she first took office.
Her detractors point to the bitter and violent strikes when she took on the coalminers' union in 1984, riots in 1990 over her wildly unpopular Poll Tax, and swathes of industrial Britain abandoned to long-term unemployment and decline. Continued...

Wow! You will do the belt templates too?! Awesome!
Thanks Rafal. And yes i'm currently working on the belt. I'll post some pics soon.
1000 Thanks for the patterns!!!!!!!!! are wonderfull!!!!!!!
Thank you very much SNOWAURE !
Thank you for hard work you put into this project...most helpful!
Thanks SabotKill ! this is a great reward to know that my work could be useful.
Hi guys,
Lot of time have past since my last post. Have few time to work on the belt. I helped a friend to fix his Rubies scout trooper helmet and it was a real challenge to make it accurate for a 501'st validation. Now i can again work on the belt and finish it.
SO here's the belt overview with the differents measures.Templates will follow with how-to.
A detail hit my attention, when looking at this pic below, it seems that the end of the belt is rounded.If i make a mistake i will correct the templates but it's the only ref pic i have.
I use this ref pic to find belt's height
Last edited by StrumFett; May 8, 2012 at 1:33 AM.
Hi !
Here's the first part of the templates.
I will post A4 and LTR docs later (i need your opinion on measurements and shapes before to validate definitively the templates)
I also worked on the belt structure. When looking at the ref pics, i have the feeling that the edges are sharped. So i make several attempts and this is the results :
1 - Just two layers of leather :
IMO the structure is too flexible and with the weight of the pouches it will cause the belt to sag.
2 - With cardboard
The rigidity is better and i think there will be no problem curving it.
And there is a comparative between the 2 solutions and a real leather belt :
In order from the top : belt with cardboard, real belt, belt without cardboard.
In your opinion, which solution is better?
I'm a big fan of your project and you did an excellent job so far! Here is an image I did by adding a mirrored lower part of the ammo belt to creat a whole:
It seems that you need to lengthen the sewing with 12mm, but all the other parts looks good to me.
I think the double layered ammo belt (around 2-3mm total thickness) without cardboard is the best choice because when you put the belt on you it should be tight and not loose, this way the ammo pouches won't hang on the belt. But if you use thinner sinthetic material, then the cardboard support is an excellent addition.
Thanks Rafal, you are incredible!
So there's the corrected version. I'll post a tutorial for making the belt from the templates.
For the structure you have conviced me and i will go for a 2 layer belt.
I'm currently working on the weathering of the pouches, trying differents methods and the results seems encouraging.
I update post #1 adding zip files with documents 8, 9a and 9b.
Now that the tutorial is almost finished, i can calculate the total cost of the belt :
For the structure of the pouches, i use plywood (cost 3$) but using MDF, heavy cardboard, foamboard... divide the cost by 2 to 4.
For the leather layer, the cost of the material i used is approximately 7$ for a piece of 40 x 55 in . I think that is sufficient with optimization.
For the magnet, the cost is approx 3$
The rest is constituted by glue, sewing cotton, tape, velcro. Cost is approx 7$ (difficult to calculate because i had already those).
So i think that the maximum cost is approx 20$.
When my belt will be finished (sewings with dremel are going to make me crazy), i will have time to work on my next project : Light and sound ESB blaster from scratch (using WOF templates) for 20 $ (again ).
Thank you for sharing! They all look great!

Free bump!
Any updates of the finished belt and ammo pouches?
Hi Rafal !
Thanks for your bumping !
Pouches are finished. i've just to do sewings on the belt itself
I will post pics soon.
Have a lots of work with others components of my costume.(i'm working on a functionnal blaster).
Hi all!
Here is some pics of finished pouches. For the belt, i had to redo it because of bad quality glue ( hundreds of sewing lost....)
For the sewings i see on ref pics that they aren't completely white. so i use tea to color them.
The sewings in the belt are still missing
And a pic took during assembling step
Thanks Rafal!
One of the reasons that explain why i take so much time since my last post is that i'm working on differents parts simultaneously.
The helmet is one of them. I started it last year and i was greatly helped by your amazing stencils.
Hi everyone,
Have just finished sewings of my belt.....I think it would be better using a sewing machine but i'm happy to see how it turned
i have just to put the buttons and the gromets
For the button, they are already primered
i found an Humbrol color that can match (in reality it's more dark and brown than on the pic).
It looks excellent! There's one last thing you must do to achieve the look of the original ammo belt: the way the ammo pouch's flap is slightly folded to follow the top and front edges.
You might do the edges with a hot iron or by holding the folded flap in a vice (or something).
Awesome build and attention to details!
Thanks a lot Rafal!
you're absolutely right (as always) about the flap. I work on a minor modification that will fix this problem (due to the fact that the pouch is empty) using magnets.
I just want to finish the buttons and gromets before to make the mod.
Oh my... That ammo belt looks killer, the best I've seen so far! Can't wait to see it 'fixed'. I'm surprised that nobody used your templates so far. I love your works and it seems that you have a lot of fun doing each and every part, especially that you work like an expert. Just keep up the quality work!
Great job Brother!!! I enjoyed my coffee checking all your pics. I would love to make my own version with white vinyl then paint it. All the pre-pro's and promotional Fetts had a cheap vinyl look to them. Just my opinion but I feel a painted vinyl look is more accurate than a new looking leather ammo belt.
Weathering my new 99centTaco ammo belt) by painting some fine white scratches to replicate the white-under-the-paint look.

It's a time when children can receive dental care free of charge."Cost is a barrier for many and most people don't have dental insurance. They fall between the cracks and can't afford to come, so it's exciting we're able to offer that," said Foster.Part of the reason the campus is able to hold this annual event is because students on campus help out.Senior Dental Hygiene Student, Erica Hurd said "They've been pretty appreciative of everything we've been doing and we appreciate them coming in and giving us their time. It gives us experience, so I think it's benefiting everybody."Dental students work side by side with the volunteer dentist. It also prepares them for what working in a dental office is really like."Usually we see one patient in the morning and afternoon, sometimes two depending on your schedule. So, it's definitely fast pace today," said Hurd. Between a free cleaning and a friendly environment, kids and their parents walk away happy. Foster said "A lot of the parents didn't realize we were here.

Mikael Silvestre insists that only hard work will bring the "happy days" back to Emirates Stadium.
Sunday looked like being a memorable one for the French defender when his header gave Arsenal a two-goal lead at Wigan. But a late collapse saw Arsène Wenger's side ship three goals and crash out of the Premier League title race.
Silvestre will now turn his attention to Saturday's game against Manchester City and he knows there is no substitute for commitment as Arsenal look to cement their top-three placing.
"We need to get back to winning ways, back to happy days, but it won't come like that [the way we played at Wigan]," he told Arsenal TV Online.
"We have to work harder because all the teams in the championship are fighting for their lives. The title race is open but not for us anymore, but we have to secure a Champions League spot and the third or second spot in the League."
Subscribers can now watch an exclusive post-match interview with Mikael. He discusses:
- what happened in the final 10 minutes
- the performance in the first 70 minutes
- how Arsenal can recover
- the importance of the Man City game
- not losing sight of the overall achievement this season

Southern born, Los Angeles-based artist Erin D. Garcia has painted murals for the Ace and Standard Hotels, brightened the pages of Bullet and Foam, and makes colorful, large-scale, mathematical works that you can't look away from, even if for some odd reason you wanted to. But not wanting to look at his confettied canvases is kind of like not wanting to eat cupcakes or like hating candy, which is just pure madness (or a gluten and sugar intolerance), if you ask me.
On that note, because we don't hate candy or cupcakes or fun, we're really excited to look at a new selection of Erin's work this Saturday, August 16th, for the opening of his second solo show at HVW8 Gallery. His latest exhibition, entitled 5 Shapes In 6 Colors, promises to be characteristically geometric and precise, while lightening our Saturday night with his signature splashes of neons, playful squiggles, and confection-like color pops.
Consistently distinct without ever being formulaic, Garcia's highly recognizable work is both effortlessly gestural and wildly intentional, and worth the attention of your overly stimulated eyeballs. Come through this Saturday night for the opening of 5 Shapes in 6 Colors. See y'all there.

When I proposed to my wife on March 21 of this year, I had in mind a grand scheme of balance. My proposal date was deliberate, as the symmetry between day and night of the vernal equinox seemed a perfect metaphor for the equilibrium we hope to attain–and maintain–throughout our lives together. That the date of our engagement heralded the first day of spring–a period of unfettered ebullience and wanton expressions of love–and the date of our wedding, the autumnal equinox of Sept. 21, ushered in the first day of fall–a wiser season more given to deep-reaching commitment than its counterpart, though no less glorious–served to cement the pitch-perfect resonance of symbolism.
As the date of the ceremony drew nearer, our lives and minds were consumed with anticipation and logistical concerns familiar, I'm sure, to anyone who plans and effects his or her own wedding. Beginning a little more than two weeks before the big day, though, the balance we sought was undermined by a series of events that left us reeling.
The first blow came when our dog, a 10 1/2-year old yellow Lab named Miles, began acting sluggishly and showing signs of a distended belly. A year and a half earlier, our vet had removed a malignant melanoma from one of Miles' rear legs. The tumor had been growing for nearly two years, and the canine oncologists we consulted at Colorado State University's Veterinary Hospital expressed confusion at the slow rate of growth of the cancer and hoped that the unusual nature of his particular case meant that his natural life span would not be cut appreciably short.
When our vet's fears were confirmed by an ultrasound performed in Helena on the Wednesday two weeks before our ceremony–the cancer had spread to Miles' liver and he was slowly bleeding into his abdomen–we were confronted by the decision that haunts all pet owners. We didn't know how much time we had left with him, but on Thursday his level of discomfort had grown to the point that we made a late-night call to our vet. She handled our dilemma with an unimaginable combination of compassion and dignity, and that evening we held him in our arms as he went to sleep for the last time.
Dawn and I spent much of the next several days in state of psychological and emotional shock, drawing comfort from each other and from the friends who knew how close our relationship with Miles had been.
Just as we reached the point that we were able to focus once again on the rapidly approaching ceremony, the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. unfolded with surreal mayhem on our television set. Added to our personal struggles was now the national trauma that sideswiped our nation's psyche. As we made our way through the black psychological and emotional cloud that settled over the country like a Missoula winter inversion, our thoughts turned (a little guiltily) to the travel restrictions imposed by the government and what they would mean to the 100-plus out-of-town guests we were expecting.
Thoughts of postponing the big day were quickly squelched by the logistical nightmare that such an adjustment would require, and we settled in with the mindset of making the best of whatever—or whoever—would come. At this point, when it seemed that our wedding would be marked by misery, grief and absence, things began to turn around.
Both my parents made it to Missoula on the Saturday before the wedding, as planned, and my dad's flight from Milwaukee went smoothly. The following day, my brother-in-law and sister (she nearly eight months pregnant), accompanied by their 2 1/2-year-old twin girls, arrived safely in town from Boston's Logan Airport on the second day that facility had opened following the attacks. Phew, we figured, the fact that we were able to get people in from a ground-zero airport boded well for the rest of our attendees, including several more from Boston and New York.
Dawn's family also made it in on Sunday, with her mother and her brother's family teaming up to make an unscheduled cross-country road trip from Madison, Wisc. (Not only did our loved ones arrive unscathed, so too did the mammoth load of genuine Wisconsin cheeses and sausages brought by Dawn's father and the 500 Swedish meatballs cooked and frozen by my mother). As the preparations picked up steam and our respective families moved down to the location of the ceremony and reception–a gorgeous, perfectly-appointed rustic lodge on the Bitterroot River south of Hamilton—we finally had the sense that this thing was taking on a life of its own that we couldn't stop even if we wanted to. It was a marvelous feeling.
From then on, all the components of the wedding came together in a manner that exceeded our highest hopes. The weather was perfect for the outdoor event, and the physical preparation of the site, once dreaded, went off without a hitch thanks to help from innumerable sources. The ceremony music, performed by artistic souls close to our hearts, was eloquent and moving. The food and booze, prepared and supplied by dear friends, proved to be perfect fuel for the celebration. And our officiant, the former editor of the Independent and the man who had introduced me to my future wife some six years earlier, delivered a homily that elicited both laughter and tears–this despite the fact that he had to take a train from San Diego and arrived at the lodge only an hour before the event.
Almost without us knowing it, we had created a tidal wave of love that washed away all thoughts of everything but happiness. And as it turns out, it couldn't have happened at a better time.

Nothing wrong with calling our Senators again, we must, it'll let them know we're diligent. If we don't speak up now, they'll know we're not watching and try to sneak something in again later.
We've got to do more than just vote in 2014, we've got to get people to the polls, and convince the fence-sitters. We can't get them all, but we can turn the tide. It's up to us to help purge these anti-gun folks, then things will settle down.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
I bet they feel important.
Why don't they just come out and say that the terrorists have won the war because they sure are indicating that they're scared to damn death of everything. Geeze, just ban everything and issue everyone a cozy little bubble we can all live in.

What's more, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) said he would write a letter to House GOP leaders asking for an immediate conference with the Senate, which has passed a two-year bill with bipartisan support.
"Today we will go take this to conference," Mica said on the floor. And when asked by Democrats whether he would help with the letter asking for a conference, Mica said, "Not only will I sign the letter, I will draft the letter asking … going to conference and appointment of conferees."
"Taking the other side at their word, that they are serious about moving the process forward, and I'm beginning to think that may be a likely scenario, passage of this extension of current law through the end of the fiscal year will allow us to go to conference with the other body on their bipartisan multi-year bill which passed with the support of three-quarters of the Senate," he said.
Democrats had recoiled against the House GOP's original plan, which they said would gut spending on key highway funding priorities. But they welcomed the short-term extension for not including these cuts.
The bill does contain language that would require approval of the Keystone oil pipeline, although this is language that could fall out during the House-Senate conference.
Democrats also indicated they could support some of the three amendments up for a vote later Wednesday, before the extension is approved.
One of these, from Rep. Charles BoustanyCharles BoustanyDemocrats, Republicans must work together to advance health care Lobbying World Former GOP rep joins K Street lobbying firm Capitol Counsel MORE (R-La.), would ensure that the harbor maintenance tax is used only for the Army Corps of engineers for dredging purposes.

David McKinleyDavid McKinleyDems plot recess offensive on ObamaCare Overnight Energy: Democrats take on key Trump Interior nominee Manchin gets a GOP challenger MORE (R-W.Va.) that would ease Environmental Protection Agency regulations on coal-fired power plants.
The third, from Rep. Reid RibbleReid RibbleWith Trump, conservatives hope for ally in 'War on Christmas' GOP rushes to embrace Trump House stays Republican as GOP limits losses MORE (R-Wis.), is meant to speed up environmental approval of highway projects.

Well I just wanted to finally come on and give my apologies and reasons why I have been alittle on the slow side.
My current run of fett belts has slowed mostly due to the fact that my Hobby Lobby's are not carrying enough balsa wood and are slow to restock. So I do apologize for that.
But the biggest reason is this.
Most of you were notified by myself that I'm going to be a new daddy in Feb. Well as of this past week I found out that is no longer going to happen. Not because of a miscarriage. But because my gf lied to me. I know. I could not believe the extent she went to make me believe the whole thing for 7 months.
I started to get questions in my mind because she was not showing after some time. But figured every ones different. With all the fake doctor appointments, going to baby registries, birthing classes, etc. I didn't have any reason to believe it wasn't true. She makes one hell of an actor I'll tell you that. When I found, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I had that look of a deer with on coming headlights. I could not believe it and still don't.
So why am I slowing down? Well its because I'm having to clean up a whole lot of mess she cause me to get into. The biggest thing was our new house that is being built. I mean I'm not going to stay with her anymore but I can't afford the new house on my own. So I don't know what I'm going to tell the builder.
I've had to cancel classes, and such and I cant believe some of them are still going to charge me for remaining classes that I won't even attend. Lost a huge deposit on the room that was suppose to be for next months baby shower.
So here I am, moved back in with the family. A tiny room to do my work in and lots of things to clean up ahead. Its not going to be pretty but I'll get through it and finish everything. All I can ask for, is just the patience of members here. Things will move faster now due to the fact that I don't have to go to any more appointments, and that I have lost my job since I was actually working for her fathers business.
Just wanted everyone to know.

It's Been a Dream Week for Tobacco, the Life-Saving PlantBy
Introducing the all-new, life-saving, pleasure-giving, widow-and-orphan-supporting plant—tobacco.
OK, a slight exaggeration. But there's no denying that over the past week tobacco has enjoyed the kind of public relations that publicity agents dare not dream of. The biggest news is that the leaves of tobacco plants are being used to manufacture a serum against the deadly Ebola virus. Yes, the killer is now the savior.
That's not all. Today the New York Times reported that proposed new Food and Drug Administration guidelines require regulators of tobacco to take into account the lost happiness of smokers if they quit. According to the newspaper, the proposed rule "assumes that the benefits from reducing smoking—fewer early deaths and diseases of the lungs and heart—have to be discounted by 70 percent to offset the loss in pleasure that smokers suffer when they give up their habit." How dare the government deprive smokers of their simple pleasure.
To round it off—because in journalism, all trends must come in threes—this week, Susan Cameron, Reynolds American's chief executive, told CNBC that she's confident that antitrust regulators will approve her company's $25 billion acquisition of competitor Lorillard, bolstering the company's market share and creating value for investors. So that's good news for the widows and orphans who live off some of the $1.4 billion in dividends that Reynolds pays to shareholders every three months.
There remains the complication that smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., killing 480,000 people a year, according to the surgeon general's office. Reynolds is fighting a $23.6 billion jury judgment in a case brought by the family of a deceased smoker (coincidentally, close to what it wants to pay for Lorillard).
On the whole, though, for Big Tobacco it's been a week to die for.

Mohun Bagan enjoyed a comfortable outing at the Salt Lake Stadium against a lackluster Salgaocar side, and could have easily scored half a dozen if not for Karanjit...
Mohun Bagan returned to winning ways, after the stalemate against ONGC, as they beat Salgaocar FC 3-0 at the Salt Lake Stadium with goals from Denson Devadas( 5th minute) , Odafa Okolie (19th minute) and Stanley Okoroigwe (61st minute).
Mridul Banerjee opted to start with the same team that was held by ONGC FC in the last round of the I-League, with Stanley Okoroigwe playing a roving role behind skipper Odafa Okolie. Jewel Raja and Denson Devadas were expected to patrol the midfield and mop up any opposition forays.
David Booth too made no changes to the team that was narrowly defeated by Churchill Brothers with Sean Rooney as the lone striker upfront supported by Quinton Jacobs.
The home team almost found the net in the second minute of the match, when Stanley Okoroigwe broke brilliantly down the right before finding Odafa Okolie with an acute pass. The Nigerian wasted too much time and his shot was blocked thereafter.
Just three minutes later, a Snehashish Chakrabarty corner-kick was headed towards goal by Nirmal Chettri before Aibor Khongjee toe-poked it towards Denson Devadas who rose brilliantly to head the ball into the net inspite of being surrounded by two defenders.
In the eighth minute, Salgaocar FC would be unlucky that they had not equalised as Sean Rooney found himself with acres of space, beating the offside trap and his swerving shot beat Shilton Paul all ends up but could not beat the right post.
Just about five minutes later, Quinton Jacobs almost got lucky from nowhere as his intended cross almost sneaked underneath Shilton who was saved from an embarrassment.
Mohun Bagan doubled their lead through Odafa Okolie as a Denson Devadas' long ball saw him evade Rahul Kumar and Luciano Sobrosa with ease, and scored The Mariners' second in the 19th minute.
In the 26th minute Stanley was at it again as his delightful through-ball found Syed Rahim Nabi on the right, who crossed into the box for Odafa whose heavy first touch meant that he couldn't add to his tally of goals.
A neat play between Biswajit Saha and Snehasish Chakraborty on the right meant that the latter had space to cross but Odafa's header sailed high over the bar just after the half hour mark.
It was Syed Rahim Nabi, in the first half injury time, saw his volleyed effort from the edge of the box being blocked by Sobrosa.
Sixteen minutes into the second half and the home side extended their lead as Odafa held the ball brilliantly before sliding it for to an onrushing Nabi who ran past Collin Abranches with ease. He rolled the ball for Stanley to tap in, who did well despite being off balance.
Just two minutes later, Odafa showed tremendous strength to shield the ball as he ran past Rahul Kumar, but the angle was too narrow for him and Karanjit could collect easily.
It was Nirmal Chettri, the Bagan centre-back, who had a potshot at goal, such was the home team's dominance. It was Nabi's turn next to miss as he made a hash of an open header from a Snehasish Chakraborty free-kick on the far post.
As Mohun Bagan were barraging Salgaocar with chance after chance, Karanjit had to be alert as he tipped a ball wide from a Nirmal Chettri header from yet another corner, which came in thick and fast giving the Salgaocar defense no time to breathe.
Salgaocar's best chance came in the half came in the 74th minute, as Milagres Gonsalves freed himself from his marker and was about to pull the trigger, but a timely intervention by Aibor Khongjee meant that Shilton still had a clean sheet.
In the 76th minute, Stanley's long ball to Odafa found the latter in acres of space and with only Karanjit to beat, he shot it wide, much to the amazement of the Bagan bench and his team-mates.
Nicolao Colaco failed to clear a Devadas cross and the ball fell to Odafa and his heavy first touch allowed the Salgaocar custodian to avert the danger.
Odafa was in the thick of things yet again, as he dribbled past three players but again a poor touch before he could finally pull the trigger, meant that the chance was wasted.
Just three minutes before regulation time, it was the Nigerian again who dribbled past the Salgaocar centre-backs. His eventual shot was parried away by Karanjit Singh only as far as Stanley who tried a bicycle kick with his back to goal. Fortunately for Salgaocar, the ball sailed just wide.
On the break, Francis Fernandes ran down the right flank, and with only Shilton in his path, he smashed it high and wide which summed up the away team's performance in the match and especially in the second half, where they went missing.
With the win, Mridul Banerjee signs off in style having won two and drawn one of his three matches in charge as he hands over the reins to former Salgaocar coach Karim Bencherifa. David Booth meanwhile has lot to think as he has lost his two matches in charge.
