An Offer of Place letter from the Principal will initiate the final stage of the Admission process. Preference is given to siblings of boys already in the school and to sons of old boys. Thereafter, offers of place are based on merit and on date of application. Parents to whom offers have been sent by the Principal have to sign an 'Acceptance of Place' form and return it together with proof of payment of the non-refundable placement fee to secure their son's place at the school. Bishops reserves the right to conduct a credit enquiry on parents of prospective pupils. The entrance procedure differs for each section of our school.
Grade R
Entrance to Grades R follows a process of interview. This is undertaken by the Prep Headmaster.
Offers for Grade R are made well in advance. The next offers of place will be for the academic year 2017.
Grades 1 and 2
Entrance to Grades 1 and 2 follows a process of interview and testing. This is undertaken by the Headmaster of the Prep and the Pre-Prep staff. Offers for Grade 1 or 2 can only be made if boys are withdrawn from the school.
Grades 3 to 7
Entrance to the Prep follows a process of interview and testing. This is undertaken by the Prep School Headmaster and staff. Offers can only be made if boys are withdrawn from the school.
Grade 8
Entrance to Grade 8 has a set procedure to ensure a fair offer being made to all those who apply. There are 150 Grade 8 places on offer each year, and over 260 Grade 7 candidates from a large number of prep schools typically apply for these places.
The year before admission, applicants who have already registered at Bishops will receive a letter in which they are invited to sit the Entrance examination. A small fee is charged. This exam is followed in some cases by interviews, but in all cases, the prep schools are asked to complete a confidential questionnaire on each candidate's performance and achievements at prep school. Offers of place are made towards the end of May annually.
Grades 9 to 11
Place offers for Grades 9 to 11 can only be made if current pupils are withdrawn from the school, as all grades are currently fully subscribed.

An automaker's Web site left you dreaming of a red sedan with a tan leather interior and a great cold-weather package. But when you called around to schedule a test-drive, there weren't any such cars in stock.
We feel your pain: One of the harshest realities of the car buying process is the disappointment you feel when you realize that the car you had your heart set on cannot be found on any dealer's lot. It doesn't have to be like this. If you have the patience, you can order a vehicle from a dealer and get it exactly how you want it.
One of our editors was interested in purchasing a Volkswagen Golf TDI and ran into just this situation. He wanted a fully loaded model in one specific color and couldn't find it anywhere.
Situations like this happen because the vehicles that are available on the dealers' lots come with popular options that dealerships think have the best chance of selling. If their research shows that a highly optioned model or particular package doesn't sell, you're less likely to see it on the lot. Sometimes, however, the cars found on dealer lots are not necessarily those that shoppers most want, according to one former car salesman.
"Our sales manager spent a great deal of time and effort ordering cars that would maximize profit and then [relied] on the sales staff to 'sell what's on hand,'" says "Firstwagon," a former car salesman and frequent commenter on Edmunds.com's long-term road tests. "Since most people want their new car right away (part of the thrill of buying a new car), they will more often than not take what you have rather than wait for what they want."
Why Special Order?
A special-order car is ideal for people who aren't willing to compromise on their color or options. For example: If you intend to use your car for a business and you need it in a specific color to match your company's logo, ordering is the way to go. And if you maintain a fleet of vehicles for construction, a delivery service or a taxi company, you'll probably want to order your cars in bulk and in similar configurations.
Not every automaker will let you order your vehicle when you want to do it, however. Honda and Acura dealers, for example, order their vehicles on a quarterly basis. The only way you can place an order for a specific vehicle is to speak to the fleet manager shortly before she places her quarterly order.
Sometimes, if a car is a redesigned model, the dealership may not have a say in what cars it receives. The manufacturers will look at the sales records for the previous model year and allocate the vehicles accordingly for the initial shipment. If the dealer near you underperformed on the sales of a particular vehicle, it won't likely be allocated as many of the newer models.
How Long Does It Take?
The amount of time it takes to order a car and get it delivered to you varies, based on where the car is made and how many people ordered vehicles ahead of you. The Edmunds editor who had ordered a Volkswagen was told it would take up to three months to get his car, since it was manufactured in Germany. If you are purchasing a domestic vehicle, however, dealers we spoke to say the average is closer to eight weeks.
In our I-want-it-now world, it's difficult for many car shoppers to conceive of waiting eight to 12 weeks once they're ready to buy a new car. But consider this: Your car is likely the second-most expensive purchase you'll ever make, and most people keep a car for at least four years. In this situation, doesn't it sound like a good idea to custom-order your new car, even if it means waiting for the exact make, model, color and options you want?
An alternate route to getting the car sooner is to consider a dealer trade. The dealer has a powerful search tool that can zero in on specific options. The dealer may be able to locate a car even when your search comes up short. This approach has its pros and cons, so take a look at this article on dealer trades for more information.
Car Ordering Checklist:
Follow these simple guidelines if you decide to custom-order your next new car:
- Decide what you really want: The whole point of custom-ordering a new car is to revel in a sense of personalization, so you need to figure out not only what your next vehicle will be but how you want it equipped. If you're shopping for a Honda or Acura, the option choices are very limited. If you're talking Ford F-150 or Porsche 911, there is a laundry list of options and trim levels to consider.
- Don't get too carried away with the options: While it may be tempting to just check off every item on the options list, don't do it. This will cost you more now, and when you go to sell the car, you probably won't recover the extra cost. If you care more about getting exactly the vehicle you want than you do about its future resale value, there's no problem. You just have to realize that your specific tastes might not be shared by the car-buying public a few years from now. Less popular options on a vehicle don't necessarily add to the resale value, and in most cases, actually decrease it. When people are looking to buy your car used, they are more interested in saving money than paying for your chrome wheels or technology package. Finally, once you've equipped your vehicle, use our affordability calculator to see if it is really within your means.
- Plan ahead: If you plan carefully, your custom-ordered vehicle will arrive just as your old car is picked up by the leasing company or is being sold to its new owner. Few of us purchase a car on a whim or are forced to replace our current vehicle in a matter of days or weeks. Don't let a two-month wait for a custom-ordered car be your excuse. A little planning makes this aspect of custom-ordering your new car a non-issue.
- Find the right dealer: When you custom-order a vehicle, your relationship with the dealer becomes critically important. This is the organization you'll be talking to throughout the process, which means it will take your initial order and if it is a good dealership, happily keep you updated on your car's progress as you wait for it to be built. Choose your dealership for a custom order just the way you would if you were simply buying a car off a lot: Read reviews and talk to friends who have bought there to ensure you're going to have a smooth experience.
- Negotiate as if the car were on the lot: Just because you're ordering a vehicle doesn't mean that your ability to negotiate goes out the window. Check Edmunds.com's TMV® price, then call other dealers to see what they quote you. Keep this in mind: If the vehicle is in high demand, you may sometimes end up paying sticker price.
- Make sure the deposit is refundable: Most dealers will require a deposit when ordering a vehicle. Make sure this deposit is refundable in case you change your mind or find the car somewhere else. Also note: Some dealers may elect to hold the deposit until the car is sold.
- Get it in writing: Once you've talked numbers and decided on the options you want, be sure to get the details in writing. Make sure this document has the correct information and the price you agreed upon.
Lucky Breaks
The aforementioned Edmunds editor ended up getting his Golf sooner than he expected. A few weeks after he placed his order, the dealership called with interesting news. A deal had fallen through with a customer who had ordered a vehicle with the very options that our editor wanted. The editor was next in the special-order line, so he was able to purchase the vehicle for himself.
If you are patient with the process, custom ordering your next vehicle can be a rewarding experience. Just make sure you understand the options, order carefully with a trustworthy dealer and negotiate as if the vehicle were on the lot. Then you can enjoy the purchase of a car that was built just for you from the ground up.

Taro, Pineapple, Sweet Potato and Bacon Chips
Recipe by Annacia
From French Polyensia
Top Review by lazyme
This was a fun recipe to make - and good too. I've had taro in restaurants before but never had prepared it at home. I remembered hearing somewhere that you need to prepare taro correctly, otherwise you could get sick. So I googled to find out how long to boil it. I found sites that said to boil it with skins on, skins off, from 8 minutes up to 1 1/2 hours. Then there were warnings about wearing rubber gloves because some people would end up with stinging hands when peeling it. I got to the point where I was asking myself if I really wanted to make this recipe, lol. I finally found one place that said that you could microwave a small root for 4-5 minutes. So that's the way I cooked the taro, and it worked really well.
I made the recipe as directed from that point on, but I did change the oil/butter for each batch as it was turning an ugly color, lol. I'm really glad that I made this and it was really a great snack. The taro tasted like a nutty potato and mixed with the sweet potato and pineapple really well. Thanks for a fun and tasty recipe, my dear friend. Made for ZWT7 for the Emerald City Shakers.

I agree. My plastic nipple was so brittle that almost anything would have broken it off.
Because of that, and because people may wish to re-use an expansion tank if it's fairly new, it behooves us to come up with an OEM-hose-clamp-removal process that is the least forceful we can devise.
At first, I tried to "chop" off the crimped nub of the OEM hose clamp with snub-nosed wire cutters.
Almost instantly, as soon as a modicum of side force was applied, the nipple simply "twisted" off (it twisted because the plastic broke but the metal sleeve was still intact).
At this point, I realized I should have either dremeled off the hose clamp (so as to exert zero sidewise force) or I should have lifted up on the end of the hose clamp wrapped and locked end.
Here you see the pliers used to lift up on the end freeing successive lock pins in the OEM clamp. In hindsight, even this would have exerted too much sidewise force on the nipple, dooming it to failure.
Finally the OEM hose clamp was "peeled off". In the future, I would dremel off the hose clamp. I welcome a BETTER method from the peanut gallery if you can propose one.
BTW, I do realize that it's almost futile to try to "save" the expansion tank if the nipple is as brittle as mine was. However, I can imagine a situation where you have to "go back in" after doing recent work - and then, you would have a less-brittle nipple (my assumption anyway) and you'd want to "save" the expansion tank if you could.
So, if anyone has a less damaging way to remove the hose clamp, let us know!

It was a very tough night in the coach's box for Ray Boyd.
His daughter and defending Commonwealth pole vault champion Alana Boyd had missed her first two attempts at her opening height of 4.15m.
The rain was tumbling down.
The runway was slippery.
Conditions were dangerous.
But Ray Boyd - himself a Commonwealth vaulting gold medallist from the 1982 Brisbane Games - knew Alana was the best athlete in the field and the one best placed to overcome the treacherous conditions.
And she did.
A successful last-attempt clearance off a shortened run-up at 4.15m was followed by first-up successes at 4.35m, 4.40m and 4.50m.
That was more than enough for the 30-year-old Boyd to become the first woman to successfully defend the Commonwealth pole vault title.
And it was very much a family affair, with mother Denise - a former sprint champion and younger brother Matt - who competed in the men's vault earlier in the Games - also watching from the Hampden Park stands on Saturday night.
Boyd won her first Commonwealth title in Delhi four years ago under the tutelage of Alex Parnov, before returning to Brisbane to resume the coach-athlete relationship with her father.
She credits greater maturity on her part for making it work the second time around.
"To defend the title again is fantastic," she said.
"To compete when it counts at the highest level is what we as athletes want to do.
"And then to come home with the medal - I'm just so happy."

I was reading an article in today's Wall Street Journal by Shira Ovide titled "Warren Buffett Is $1.5 Billion Underwater on His Bank of America (BAC) Stock." Here's a quote from the article:
Bank of America's stock price just broke into the embarrassing sub-$5 stock basement. Somewhere in Omaha, alarm bells are going off? Yes, Bank of America's stock swoon is dragging down America's wisest investor, Warren Buffett, who now is about $1.5 billion underwater on his BofA common-stock warrants…But Buffett's cherry atop his BofA sundae was warrants that allow him to buy 700 million Bank of America shares at a strike price of about $7.14 a share. $7.14 a share. Ouch. BofA shares are now at $4.94.
As if an afterthought, Ovide mentions that "Buffett's warrants may be exercised in whole or in part in the 10 years following the closing of the deal, so he can afford to be very patient with Bank of America's stock price. But Buffett already is waiting out his other crisis investments, too." Ovide finishes up the article by mentioning that Buffett is down 25% to date on his Goldman Sachs (GS) warrants.
The best way to analyze articles like these are by asking two questions-first, what does this really mean for Warren Buffett and shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)? And secondly, what can we, as everyday potential investors, take away from it?
First of all, from a Berkshire perspective, the deal with Bank of America has, and will continue to, mint money for Berkshire shareholders. To date, Buffett has not bought one single common share of BAC stock. When Buffett made his August investment, Bank of America created a special classification of preferred shares, and issued Berkshire 50,000 shares of this preferred BAC stock, valuated at $100,000 per share, which constitutes the $5 billion investment in Bank of America that most of the headlines blare. The terms of these preferred shares for Buffett is that Bank of America will pay Berkshire Hathaway 6% annually, or $300 million per year in interest, indefinitely until Bank of America decides to return the $5 billion to Berkshire, at which point it will have to pay an additional 5% premium, or $250 million, to Berkshire as part of the closing terms of the deal.
If we separate Buffett's investment into two conceptual parts, that 6% annual return of $300 million to Berkshire represents the predictable part of Buffett's investment that will pay Berkshire $300 each year indefinitely-as long as Bank of America does not go bankrupt. And even if Bank of America did go bankrupt in the next few years, by virtue of owning preferred shares, Buffett would stand in line to collect before the common shareholders.
Which brings us to the icing on top of Buffett's investment-the Bank of America warrants. The fact that Buffett has a decade -10 years! - to exercise these warrants makes it seem absolutely ridiculous to run headlines about how he is "billions underwater" based on the price of the stock only six months later. Buffett has until 2021 for Bank of America to get above the $7.14 per share strike price. Running headlines like this about Buffett being underwater gives the impression that he has made a bad investment, which does not accurately reflect the terms of the deal struck. The realistic worst-case scenario for Buffett is that he has to content himself with 6% annual returns from Bank of America until the bank ends the agreement (which is probably a realistic worst-case scenario a lot of wouldn't mind having with our investments), but the 700,000,000 shares in stock warrants ensure that if Bank of America can recover within the next 10 years to even the price point of $19 it was at last year, then Buffett will make additional billions. If you try to judge Buffett on this investment only six months in, you're going to miss the big picture of how Buffett could make quite a lot of money on this deal, all while reducing most of the risk that average investors would assume by merely buying the common shares of the company.
And this, of course, brings us to the final point-the consequence of this type of story for investors. How often do you see a headline report a Buffett investment - be it the preferred shares of General Electric (GE), the special warrants as part of the Goldman Sachs deal, or this recent Bank of America investment - and then the conversation turns to whether we, as investors working on a different plane, should go and purchase shares of that very company. I understand why the temptation to follow Buffett is there - he has the best long-term track record of any investor alive today, and his reputation for buy-and-hold investments adds a certain appeal for investors looking to park money somewhere - but the debate is necessarily flawed because Buffett is not operating on the same plane as us when he is not buying common shares in a company.
Buffett bought preferred shares of BAC that pay 6% annually, attached with a sweet warrant option that he can wait a decade to exercise - that is in no way similar to investors who go out and buy common shares of the stock based on the news of Buffett's purchase. The terms of Warren's deal give him far less downside and far more upside than what common shareholders get, so the comparison between the two isn't valid. The only thing we can glean about Buffett's preferred investments (in terms of a vote of confidence) is that he most likely doesn't think the company he is putting money into is at risk of bankruptcy in the foreseeable future.
But still, if you want to build a portfolio that mirrors Buffett's - make sure you make an apples to apples comparison and look to the common stocks he has been buying this year - companies like Wells Fargo (WFC) and IBM (IBM), instead of the preferred deals he makes that give him substantially better terms than anything you or I could get. When we look to emulate Buffett, we should make sure that we only do it when he is assuming the same risk and return scenario with his investments as we are.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

There's No Place Like Home
It's slowly getting better (If we count out the kid who bit her in the arm yesterday), but I think it's gonna be a long way for her to be happy there.
After all, there is NO place like home. And she knows that already. =)
Thanks for looking!

Poor little girl! My boys didn't have trouble with daycare, but they were in it from about 8 weeks on. Is that a view from your house?!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry she's having a hard time adjusting. My middle girl was like that so I gave her a scarf of mine with my body spray on it, so it smelled like Mommy. I told her whenever she missed me to hug it and it would be soon that I'd pick her up. It really helped ease her anxiety.ReplyDelete
Aww beautiful Vita! I hope she learns to love it! Keep us posted!ReplyDelete
She is so cute. A (very mild) pox on the little boy who bit her.ReplyDelete
My little cousin didn't want to go to school either. I'd drop her off in the mornings, and she'd scream and hang on to me...her teachers had to hold her back while I ran from the classroom. A week later though, she was having a great time...we'd enter her classroom and she wouldn't even remember who I was.
Babies adapt well...she'll be fine. :)
the beginnings are usually fucked up but don't worry, I'm sure she'll grow to like it soon enough!ReplyDelete

Suspected LulzSec Member Arrested for Sony Pictures Hack
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: http://tdwgeeks.files.wordpress.com/)
The arrested is a 20-year-old Arizona resident who could face up to a 15 year prison sentence
A hacker that is a suspected
member of LulzSec was arrested
this week on charges related to a Sony Pictures Entertainment breach.
Raynaldo Rivera, 20, was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, which was six days after a federal grand jury in California released an indictment that charged him with unauthorized impairment of a protected computer and conspiracy. Rivera is suspected of adopting nicknames on the Internet like "royal," "neuron" and "wildicv" and using a proxy server to cover up his IP address, thus concealing his identity.
More specifically, the indictment says Rivera
broke into Sony Pictures' computer systems
in May and June 2011 and stole important information, which was then posted publicly on LulzSec's website and announced on its Twitter. LulzSec managed to publish the names, addresses, birth dates, emails, passwords and phone numbers of Sony customers that entered company-promoted contests. The breach, which hit Sony's pocket for $600,000, was meant to exploit security flaws in Sony's systems.
"From a single injection
we accessed EVERYTHING
," said LulzSec at the time of the hack. "Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?"
The indictment added that an SQL injection attack was used to commit the breach, which is a hack completed by using portions of SQL statements in a Web form entry field in order to make the Web site accept a new rogue SQL command to the database.
This is the second accused LulzSec member to be arrested in the Sony Pictures breach. The first was Cody Kretsinger, 24, who pleaded guilty to his role in the Sony breach back in April.
If Rivera is convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison.

In Response To: Disease - PLEASE HELP!! (Linda Bergkvist)
Linda, you are experiencing the same thing I did when I first got into clown loaches years ago. I was at my wit's end! I watched sadly as my loaches died, and always tried again, only to go through the same experience over and over. Then someone told me they were starving to death and I really felt horrible! I now feed my loaches TetraTabiMin Tablet Food for All Bottom Dwellers. I have not lost a loach since. They cannot thrive on flake food because their tank mates usually devour it before they can get to it, and what little bit falls to be bottom is just not enough.

THE MET: Live in HD Is Back
Back to the Blog... | Post Feedback | Author Bio | Printer-Friendly
It's time! It's time! At 12:55 p.m., this past Saturday afternoon, The Met: Live in HD returned to a theater near you; and of course, if you were in Gotham, then there were many theater choices for you. This is the seventh season that the Metropolitan Opera is bringing us simulcast operas as well as encore presentations—a dozen simulcasts this year, starting with Saturday's exuberant and joyful L'Elisir d'Amore, which starred Anna Netrebko, Matthew Polenzani, Mariusz Kwiecien, and Ambrogio Maestri, who joined forces in a delightful new production helmed by that master of fun and frolic, Bartlett Sher. One could argue that these Live in HD performances (which have won Emmys and Peabody Awards) are the best thing that the Met's General Manager Peter Gelb has brought us at his "new" Met, but then again he himself has set the bar high and has been responsible for so much innovation at the house that it wouldn't be fair to say that it is the absolute best; but for any opera lover in the hinterlands who cannot get to the Met or for a local who is loath to buy an inexpensive nose-bleed seat, then these are assuredly the best thing since sliced bread.
The presentations are brought to the screen by National CineMedia's Fathom Events, NCM's entertainment and events division, which also brings to the screen many other cinematic and cultural performances. (Two weeks ago, Fathom presented the remastered Lawrence of Arabia, in all its glory; and at least locally, in NYC, the house was sold out!) For anyone who missed Saturdays' performance—or, for that matter, cannot attend a live simulcast Saturday afternoon performance—there is always an encore presentation, generally the third Wednesday after the live event, in at least one neighborhood theater, if not more. Noted Gelb: "In addition to bringing grand opera directly from our stage into communities across the nation and around the world, our HD programs energize our performers, who know that a sizeable percentage of the global population of opera fans are watching and listening to them."
Tickets are available at participating cinema box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com. (Prices may vary theater to theater, market to market, but are generally around $15 to $20.) The broadcasts will reach 167 U.S. markets in more than 660 select cinemas; the series is also shown in 100 additional independent venues nationwide. The Met: Live in HD is also screened in more than 1,900 cinemas in 60 countries, making the Met the only arts institution with an ongoing global art series of this scale. (The Met: Live in HD series is made possible by a generous grant from The Neubauer Family Foundation; global corporate sponsor of the series is by Bloomberg.)
The schedule for the coming season is below (times are always 12:55 Eastern and 9:55 Pacific, unless otherwise noted, and of course, as you might guess, the programs and the casts are subject to change), but I will report back from time to time so that you do not miss a single must-see performance. Meantime, I just loved, loved, loved the charming L'Elisir SAsturday and look forward to many more winning operas; expect the rest of the season's performances to be wonderful, exhilarating, breathtaking!

Elza van den Heever sings Elizabeth I, and Maurizio Benini conducts.
Saturday, February 16, 2013
RIGOLETTO (Verdi)
Director Michael Mayer has placed his new production of Verdi's towering tragedy in Las Vegas in 1960—an ideal setting for this eternal conflict of depravity and innocence.

Diana Damrau is Rigoletto's daughter—and their victim. Michele Mariotti conducts.

Director François Girard's timeless new vision for Wagner's final masterpiece explores the many facets of this mystical score, while designer Michael Levine (Eugene Onegin) creates a surreal landscape.

'Fast-track women-related cases'
Amid the national outrage over the barbaric gangrape-cum-murder of a 23-year-old paramedical student in Delhi, the Chief Justice of India has asked all high courts to fast-track cases related to crime against women, reports Bhadra Sinha.delhi Updated: Jan 07, 2013 23:29 IST
Amid the national outrage over the barbaric gangrape-cum-murder of a 23-year-old paramedical student in Delhi, the Chief Justice of India has asked all high courts to fast-track cases related to crime against women.
He said any delay in the trial of such cases "may be one of the factors contributing to the rise" in such incidents.
In a strongly worded letter to all the chief justices of state high courts, Justice Altamas Kabir observed that because of delays in trial, "deterrence pales into insignificance".
"Time has come when these cases have to be dealt with expeditiously, lest we should fail in our endeavour to arrest the sharp increase of crimes of violence against women," the CJI said in his letter on January 5, 2013.
Justice Kabir noted that rape was not only a physical barbarism but also afflicted the very soul of a victim. Asking the high courts to immediately set up fast-track courts, the CJI expressed his anguish over the recent gangrape case.
"The spontaneous outburst of anger is a measure of how the incident has left an indelible mark and shaken the conscience of the nation," he said.
Justice Kabir said cases of crime against women should be expedited even at the high court level.
As the head of Indian judiciary Justice Kabir can make recommendations to the high courts. His advice is, however, not binding on them.
Keeping the present scenario in mind, the CJI also asked the HCs to identify the number of requisite posts required to be created at the district level to fill up the vacancies that would arise after setting up of fast track courts.
The CJI has asked the HCs to coordinate with respective state governments to appoint judicial officers and also to augment infrastructure.
"I am sure that, judging the present-day scenario, the state government will not decline the genuine demand of the judiciary," the letter noted.
Justice Kabir had last week inaugurated the first fast-track court in Delhi in Saket to hear the gangrape-cum-murder case of the accused arrested for the offence.
The Delhi Government has decided to appoint 150 new judicial officers with support staff of 1,085 posts. At present, 3,670 vacancies exist in subordinate courts as well as HCs.

Three paint producers have lost a lead paint lawsuit in California and will have to pay more than $1 billion in inspection and cleanup costs over lead poisoning claims.
The lead paint lawsuit was filed by 10 cities and counties in the Golden State against a number of companies. DuPont (DD) and BP's (BP) Atlantic Richfield unit, originally named in the suit, were dismissed as defendants, leaving Sherwin Williams (SHW), ConAgra (CAG) and NL Industries (NL) to share in the $1.1 billion verdict handed down by a San Jose Superior Court judge on Monday, Bloomberg notes.
California authorities sued the paint producers over the lead poisoning of children living in homes erected prior to the banning of lead-based paints in 1978. In the lead paint lawsuit, authorities said that the companies knew of the danger decades before the ban, but continued to sell the paint. They had demanded damages of $1.3 billion.
Under the ruling in the lead paint lawsuit, the companies will have to fund the removal of lead-based paints in residential dwellings. The judge ruled that the thousands of children in the state would have their lives improved by the verdict in the lead paint lawsuit.
The California lead paint lawsuit ruling comes after the companies successfully defeated similar lead paint lawsuits brought in seven other states. A spokesperson for the companies said that the judge's verdict in the lead paint lawsuit was inconsistent with existing state law. The companies plan to appeal the decision.

Is Feeling Woody and Stuffy Normal?

2 months after septorhinoplasty the nose feels stuffy and swollen

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
it is not uncommon that two months after septorhinoplasty the nose feels stuffy and swollen.
There is a lot of healing and resorption of fluids that need to occur before the nose is normal again.
Please be patient and follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation and instructions.
hope this was helpful

Semifreddo is a classic Italian dessert and though it's a lot like ice-cream, you don't need a churn to make it. The whipped cream and egg whites lighten the mix and stop it freezing solid, giving it a luscious creamy texture. This bright, lemony version is perfect with fresh or poached fruit.
4 large organic lemons, or use unwaxed
4 large (70g) organic eggs, separated
250g castor sugar
150ml pouring cream, 35 per cent fat
100ml double cream
pinch of salt
1. Line a square tin (about 21cm to 25cm) with cling film - you could also use a loaf tin or terrine mould.
2. Finely zest three of the lemons and juice all four - you will need about 200ml of juice. Mix the zest with the juice.
3. In a stand mixer, beat the yolks and sugar until pale, about eight minutes.
4. Scoop the mix into a large bowl and place over a pan of simmering water (being careful not to touch the water with the bowl) and whisk continuously to cook out the egg yolks, about five minutes. Take the bowl off the heat and whisk continuously until cool.
5. Once the mix has cooled, mix through the juice and zest until incorporated.
6. Lightly beat the pouring cream. Fold the double cream into the whipped cream and then fold this into the yolk and lemon mix.
7. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks, then fold them through the lemon mix and pour into the lined tin and freeze until firm, about six hours or preferably overnight.
8. To serve, cut into thick slices, dust with icing sugar and drizzle with simple lemon syrup or serve with strawberries or poached tamarillos.
Tip: To make a simple lemon syrup, in a small pot over a medium heat, dissolve sugar in an equal quantity of water. Take off the heat, drop in some fine lemon zest and chill for a couple of hours before using.

Rihanna is being taked to court by a funeral company for not paying the $150,000 bill for her grandmother's services, which was grandiose, to say the least, according to TMZ.
Clara Brathwaite died in June, 2012. Her body was sent to Barbados for burial, and Rihanna wanted a party, complete with tents, multi-media large screens, huge exotic floral arrangements — the whole kit and caboodle.
But parties/funerals come at a price … and the company that threw grandma's final shindig claims the grand total was more than $150,000, and Rihanna paid only about a quarter of that and refused to pay more.
The lawsuit says Rihanna claimed the bill was exorbitant and she refused to pay the balance. But the funeral company says she wanted a lot and she got a lot. Now she's got to pay.

PLANS to re-form Atomic Kitten have turned into a stand-off between Jenny Frost and Kerry Katona.
Jenny, 34, refuses to rejoin the band if founder member Kerry, 31, is going to be in it too.
She has said she will come back as a trio with Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon — but nothing else.
Now manager Martin O'Shea is said to be frantically trying to compromise.
A source said: "The claws are really out. Jenny is furious the reunion seems to be all about Kerry."

December Newsletter
Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
Merry Christmas everyone and I hope Santa brings you everything that you wish and in 2012. Well this is the last of the newsletters of 2011 and I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed them up till now. I realise that some of the newsletters are very long with a lot of information in them and that maybe you do not read it all but I would rather give you too much than not enough.
I am also hoping that in the New Year you readers will contribute to this newsletter as well and hopefully this will bring you more recognition in your own therapies.
At the end of this newsletter in Announcements is my course schedule for the first 3 months for next year and I have included many of my new courses for 2012 so if you are interested just contact me. I will travel if you wish me to conduct any of my courses in your country. What I need is a minimum of 8 students, accommodation and food and of course the course fee per student.
Lastly I thought it would be interesting to look at the three gifts that represent Christmas and as an Aroma Therapist for more than 30 years I have a passion for essential oils and how they can improve our moods, complexions, and even help medicinally, so here goes.
Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
Most of what we associate with Christmas is the story of the birth of Jesus in the Christian view of things. We have the Angel Gabriel who came with the message to the shepherds that a prince had been born and the Three Wise Men knew to follow the star to Bethlehem and they arrive at the stable to present their presents to this tiny baby.
However the Ancient Magi (Wise Men) were in actual fact a hereditary priesthood of the Medes (known today as the Kurds). These Magi had extraordinary knowledge and they could interpret dreams as well has having a deep religious knowledge and astronomy and they where attached to the Royal Median court. It was Darius the Great who established them over the religion of Persia and they became the supreme priestly caste of the Persian Empire.
We need to understand that the word "Magi" comes from the Latinized form of the Greek word magoi, which was translated from Persian, for this select sect of priests. (Our word "magic" comes from this same root word.)
It was in the 3rd century that priests where known as kings and by the 6th century they had also been given names: Bithisarea, Melichior, and Gathaspa. At this point in history these men where even associated with Shem, Ham and Japheth--the three sons of Noah--and thus with the three continents, Asia, Africa, and Europe of the world. By the 14th century Armenian tradition identifies these men as Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar and these are the names that we know them by today.
What is the significance of these gifts?
In biblical times these three gifts where ranked as the most expensive of resins in alignment with gold and Pliny documented that in Alexandria where Frankincense was processed the workmen would have to strip for inspection before leaving their work. 1,000 B.C. King Solomon's fleet carried Myrrh and Frankincense resins to the different markets by sea and these resins were then used in religious ceremonies.
We all recognise the metal gold and it has been used in jewellery and decorative arts for millennia throughout the world. The Egyptians believed that gold was the "fountain of youth", because anything that glowed so beautifully was innate with health. In medieval times gold was used as a healing remedy and, although the properties assigned to it then were more "magical" than medical, gold is still used in many forms of modern medicine today.
This carries obvious significance. It's precious and shows wealth across all cultures at all times even today within our own stock markets. It's a gift fit for royalty and in many cultures gold is still valued higher than currency and the crown for a king or queen has this metal incorporated into it showing the royal aspect Jesus was here to perform.
Frankincense & Myrrh
"Who is this coming up from the wilderness
As for myself as an Aroma Therapist for many years Frankincense is one of my favourite oils. The name for this resin most likely comes from incense of Franks that was reintroduced into Europe by Frankish Crusaders. Although it is better known as "Frankincense" to westerners and this resin is also known as "Olibanum", which is derived from the Arabic al-lub ("the milk") a reference to the milky sap tapped from the Boswellia tree where Frankincense is harvested from. Frankincense and Myrrh were the first gums to be used as incense to fumigate the air and remove evil spirits. Frankincense was imported into Egypt from the land of Punt nearly 5,000 years ago and both the Hebrews and Egyptians spent vast amounts of money to import these important resins.
Frankincense is obtained from the leafy forest tree Boswellia Thurifera. When the resin bleeds out of the tree, it eventually hardens, often in a teardrop shape. In order to help a tree produce more frankincense, the trees can be tapped by scraping the bark, which allows larger amounts of resin to bleed and harden.
The ancient Egyptians used Frankincense in their cosmetic facial preparations and other toiletries and both Frankincense and Myrrh where found in the tomb of Tutankhamen. The Romans were also renowned for using these resins and it is recorded that an entire year's production of Arabian Frankincense was burned in the funeral pyre of Popaea the wife of Emperor Nero. The reason for this was that Nero kicked his pregnant wife to death and tried to appease the God's and cleanse his guilt by burning this enormous amount of Frankincense.
In the 16th century the surgeon Ambroise Pare noted that Frankincense would stop the flow of blood on wounds and helped scar tissue to form more quickly and that it increased the healing power for wounded soldiers. Within this century a French doctor Professor Cabasse recorded that Frankincense was effective in the treatment of skin cancer.
Frankincense has medicinal and soothing properties bringing a calming, restorative, gently clarifying, and meditative effect to anyone using it. Frankincense oil can be a stimulant that can tone and has warming properties. In ancient times Frankincense was used to treat depression and ancient people burned frankincense, believing it to carry their prayers to heaven. In Chinese Frankincense is known as ruxiang in Chinese medicine, the name, meaning "nipple-shaped flower" and it was first mentioned in Chinese medicine texts around 500 AD
Principal properties and indications for Frankincense
All respiratory complaints – both physical and emotional benefits
Skin Care
All skin care
Blends well with black pepper, geranium, lavender and sandalwood.
Myrrh is a resin produced by a small, tough, scraggly tree (Commiphora myrrha or Commiphora Moimol Tree) that grows in the semi-desert regions of North Africa and the Red Sea and it is closely related to Frankincense. Myrrh is the Arabic word for bitter, and it is considered as a wound healer because of its strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. In Chinese it is known as Mo Yao and has been used for centuries by the Chinese to treat wounds, bruises, and bleeding and to relieve painful swelling.
Myrrh was one of the burial spices of Jesus (John 19:39). Nicodemus ordered 100 lb of Myrrh and Aloe to anoint Jesus body which was a custom by the Jews during that period. The resin for the saviour .
The Hebrews would mix Myrrh in their wine and drink it to raise their state of consciousness before participating in religious rituals. This mixture was also given to criminals a few hours before their execution to ease their mental suffering. Myrrh is mentioned for its therapeutic properties in the Old and New Testaments as well as the Koran and the Greek and Roman texts.
In ancient Greece, soldiers would use a paste made with myrrh to heal battle wounds.
Myrrh Essential Oil
In Egyptian times Myrrh was used by Queen Hatshepsut from the 18th dynasty and it is recorded that she rubbed myrrh on her legs to make them fragrant. Theophrastus and Pliny both inform us that Myrrh was a chief ingredient for three Egyptian cosmetics and these where Egyptian perfume, Mendesian ointment and another substance called Mageleion.
Like frankincense essential oil, myrrh oil is used for respiratory problems, for example in steam inhalations or in chest rubs to help relieve coughs and to expel mucus. The essential oil has the same antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties as the resin, and it can be added to homemade creams for dry and cracked heels, dry skin on elbows and knees, and for athlete's foot and other fungal infections.
Myrrh is an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-fungal, and it is still used in creams and ointments for dry and cracked skin to this day.
One of the main uses of myrrh is in healing gum infections and mouth ulcers. Tincture of myrrh (available from many natural health stores or herb and aromatherapy suppliers) is a traditional natural remedy for mouth ulcers. Apply it directly on the ulcer using a cotton bud or dilute it to use as a mouth wash. Myrrh has anti-fungal and antiseptic properties and it is an essential oil that helps all kinds of infections in the mouth and is a popular ingredient in natural mouthwashes and toothpastes.
Myrrh resin is still used as incense today and it is an ingredient in many incense sticks, often combined with Frankincense. Myrrh and Frankincense essential oils work well together in essential oil blends with Bergamot and Lavender.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0 -- How to Resolve Problems That Occur During Calls
From DocWiki
Main page: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0
Up one level: Troubleshooting
System Does Not Detect Key Presses
Problem: The system does not detect user input through the telephone user interface (TUI).
- Log into the CLI.
- Troubleshoot a call in real time by completing these steps:
- Enter the following command:
- eventlog -G -t
- Place a test call to the system.
- Press phone keys in response to the voice prompts.
- Enter the following command:
- In the log, look for DTMFEVENT and mcpLegNotification messages, each pair of which would indicate that Cisco Unified MeetingPlace received the user input of a single digit.
- The following sample log output shows that at 10:42:04, a caller on port 0 pressed the "1" key on the phone:
08/28 10:42:04.95 P 0 RN MC mcpLegNotification (1)
08/28 10:42:04.95 P 0 SE CP m=017 DTMFEVENT Resp 0
4. If you do not see DTMFEVENT and mcpLegNotification messages in the log, make sure that your call-control devices are set up to transport DTMF digits:
a. In Cisco Unified Communications Manager SIP trunks to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, make sure that the DTMF Signaling Method is set to No Preference.
b. If the call passes through a voice gateway, then you may need to configure that gateway to use DTMF relay to transport DTMF digits.
c. On the Media Parameters Page, try setting the "Enable in-band DTMF detection" field to Yes.
d. Make sure that the Media Server is correctly configured. See Configuring the Media Server Using the MSA Interface.
5. If you do see DTMFEVENT and mcpLegNotification messages in the log, check the alarm table for TUI-related issues, and resolve them.
Related Topics
One-Way Audio-User Cannot Be Heard By Other Participants
Problem: User gets one-way audio only. User can hear the voice meeting, but other participants cannot hear the user.
Solution: Make sure that the user is not muted:
- Have the user check for a mute button on the phone or video endpoint.
- If still in the voice meeting, have the user press #5 on the phone, in case another meeting participant muted the line.
User "Talk-Off" (Triggering the Pound Key with Your Voice)
Talk-off is the unexpected detection of a digit (often a # key) by voice systems such as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.
This is always a statistical possibility due to the imperfect nature of in-band (voice and DTMF sharing the same voice channel) DTMF tone detection algorithms in any voice device (Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, PSTN voice gateways). Ideally, in-band DTMF detection in these devices will correctly detect digits 100% of the time with no false detection of voice as digits. Practically, a small number of errors -- some voice will be falsely detected as a digit (aka "talk-off") -- are allowed. While most cases of talk-off cause no reaction in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace during a meeting -- false detection of any number "1" to "9" or "*" -- and are ignored, false detection of "#" or "0" can cause unexpected Cisco Unified MeetingPlace behavior.
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace in-band DTMF detector meets the requirements of the "Bellcore Talk-off Test" specifications. The spec allows up to 500 false detections of any digit "0" to "9", "#" and "*" after the three hour test with real voice snippets. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace measures at 356 false detects for all these digits with only four false "#" and four false "0" digit detects during this period. So the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace DTMF detector exceeds the Bellcore spec and changes to the DTMF detection algorithm are very unlikely.
Realistically, though, people are all different. Unfortunately, some voices and speech patterns are more prone to triggering the DTMF detector than others, so certain users may have a much higher probability of seeing this problem.
- For System Administrators: Use out-of-band digit transmission (RFC-2833, KPML) wherever possible. However, using RFC-2833 may only shift the talk-off problem from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace DTMF detector to a voice gateway DTMF detector.
- For End Users: Use the best possible audio connection -- a land-line or a good IP connection with G.711. In some cases cordless phones may distort speech enough to make a user prone to talk-off.
- For End Users: While it may be nearly impossible to avoid, users who are prone to triggering false "#" digits usually speak something like "umm" for a relatively long period of time. These sounds should be avoided or at least shortened.

A window into health in California.
« Full episode for
Aug 31 - September 2, 2012
By Oscar Villalon
Poverty isn't great at building character. It doesn't naturally make us thoughtful or even compassionate. The sacrifices required escaping a life of want could take a crippling toll on a person's humanity.
In her generous and humble new memoir, "The Distance Between Us," novelist Reyna Grande tells the story of how she and her older siblings subsisted in Mexico while her mother and father lived apart from them in the United States, toiling to create a future for them all. Eventually, Grande and her sister, Mago, and her brother, Carlos, relocate to Los Angeles, where a whole new set of grief and upheaval awaits them.
In the first half of the book, Grande evocatively recounts a life of wretchedness set among what she terms the "broken beauty" of Iguala, Guerrero, the birthplace of Mexico's flag and home to scenic rivers and mountains. There are hovels made of dirt floors, coated cardboard and metal sheets. Children bathe in bracken water. Food is scarce, jobs are even scarcer, and a treatable illness can be costly beyond measure.
Grande pines for a father she only knows through a photograph, and weathers the cruelty or indifference of her relatives, people made hard by a life that doesn't afford any margin for error. Hopes for an eventual family reunion die when her mother returns from the U.S. alone. Their father has left her for another woman, and the bitterness and humiliation of it has changed her for good. She leaves her children again, and will fail to ever take a real interest in Grande and her siblings again.
The rest of the book is a reckoning of that critical time apart. Their father finally returns for his despairing children and smuggles all of them across the border to his home, a one-bedroom apartment in Highland Park. Living with their abusive, alcoholic father, trying to assimilate as Americans, to say nothing of facing the usual angst of growing up, Grande and Mago and Carlos further drift from their parents, even each other.
It's not giving anything away to tell you "The Distance Between Us" ends on a hopeful note. The book is meant to hearten others facing the same sort of obstacles Grande and her family did as they tried to secure a life of dignity and optimism. To that end, there are unexpected moments of tenderness here and moving acts of goodness and love. In the end, their lives are better than they would have been back in Mexico.
But what predominates Grande's narrative, and what stays with the reader, is her recounting of the deprivation that would drive parents to leave their toddlers and small children behind for long stretches. Equally hard to forget is her unsentimental examination of the consequences of these separations, which manifest themselves as cruel irony. In their desperate attempt to save their families, mothers and fathers unwittingly undo them.
A solid piece of storytelling, "The Distance Between Us" doesn't sully itself by telling us outright that demonizing undocumented immigrants is wrong, adding further woe to the lives of besieged children immoral. What it does do is make palpable a human dilemma and dares us to dismiss it.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The Wyoming Cowboys had four individuals sign free-agent contracts with NFL teams following Sunday's NFL Draft and a fifth received an invitation for a tryout.
The four Wyoming free agents are:
The fifth Cowboy who was invited to a tryout was long snapper Danny Dutmer, who was invited to workout for the Cleveland Browns.
Howard was an Honorable Mention All-Mountain West selection this past year. He started the last 40 consecutive games of his college career for the Cowboys. Howard was a very versatile offensive lineman, starting at right guard as a senior and right tackle as a junior.
Juergens was a dynamic performer as an outside linebacker. He recorded 56 tackles as a senior and led Wyoming in sacks with 5.0. Juergens was a two-year starter for the Cowboys.
Moore ended his career as Wyoming's career rushing leader with 2,963 career yards. He ranked 19th in the nation in rushing as a senior (108.4 yards per game), and was also an outstanding kick returner and receiver out of the backfield. He ranked No. 7 in the NCAA in all-purpose yards in 2008, averaging 167.3 yards per game. Moore earned First Team All-Mountain West Conference honors as a senior.
Seldon concluded his career No. 3 on the Wyoming career rushing list with 2,672 career rushing yards. Seldon was a physical runner and an excellent receiver.
Dutmer was Wyoming's long snapper from the very first game of his true freshman season, and he started as the Cowboys' long snapper for four seasons.

This is a follow-up to the original post Toilet Training Your Cat…Flushing Feces May Be Harmful to Wildlife. Please note that I made some modifications to the original post, including changing the post title and changing the headline "Flushing cat feces is killing sea otters" to "Flushing cat feces *may be* killing sea otters." I also added a note at the bottom of the post with further clarification about cats and the parasite.
. . .
Thank you so much to everyone who sent in emails or left comments on yesterday's post about the possible connection between flushing cat feces and dying sea otters. It is definitely a controversial topic and I'm glad we can have an open forum here where everyone can contribute and hopefully come to a better understanding of the situation.
As pointed out in the original post, there is scientific evidence that the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can be found in cat feces and that the same parasite has caused the death of sea otters in California. However, saying that flushing cat feces is killing the sea otters may be a bit extreme. Several things have been pointed out:
- Not all cats carry this parasite.
- Cats contract the parasite by coming in contact with infected rodents.
- If a cat becomes infected, they only shed the infectious oocysts (egg stage of the parasite) for a short period of time, somewhere between 10 days and three weeks, according to various sources.
- After this period, apparently the cat's feces is no longer infectious.
- Outdoor cats are more likely to become infected by this parasite.
- The parasite may actually be killed by sewage treatment, although I've seen arguments on both sides of this issue. If this is the case, however, it could be assumed that the majority of parasites being passed into the ocean are from feral and outdoor cat waste being washed into storm drains, not from flushing the feces of uninfected indoor-only cats.
- I read in a couple of places that the parasite is not found in human or dog feces, only feline.
- Apparently, when infected feces is deposited into a landfill, it does not leach into the ground water because landfills have a protective barrier preventing toxic debris from leaving the landfill (disgusting, but that's an entirely different topic and problem.)
So what does this mean?
If you have your cat's feces tested for Toxoplasma gondii and it comes back negative AND your cat is indoor only AND any other cats that you bring into your house test negative for the parasite, it is probably okay to flush your cat's feces, either by scooping or by toilet training your cat.
How else can you help?
- If you find cat feces outdoors from strays, ferals or indoor-outdoor housecats, DO NOT hose it down the storm drain. Instead dispose of it in the trash.
- GET INVOLVED with a local TNR (trap/neuter/return) program to help reduce the number of stray and feral cats in your area. Help to find homes for the cats who are adoptable and sterilize the feral cats so they don't produce more homeless kittens. Someday EVERY cat will have a loving home (but that's a completely different topic, too!)
Thanks again and please keep the comments coming!

I have several cysts in my breasts. Every once in a while they become sore and inflamed, but then go down in a few days. I have found that drinking Chamomeil (sp?) tea helps to keep the flare ups down to a minimum. Only once about 10 years ago was one so bad it needed to be drained. Since then, I just deal with them and in a couple of days they are gone. I seem to have become a cyst making machine since I turned 50...........UGH. The first one worried me as it was so sore and was the first one ever (and I do have family history of breast cancer on my mom's side), so I ran to my doctor to have it checked out and that was when I discovered that if it is sore, it is a cyst and will go down on its own. If it doesn't then a doctor can easily drain it in the office. At least that was my experience.September 12, 2012 - 12:32pm

Hi Anon
Thanks for your post!
Cysts is the breast are fluid filled sacs that are pretty common in women under 50 and are generally harmless since they are not tumors or cancerous but they can be painful. If you have had them see to/tested and everything is fine, then you should be fine.
Check out this article on breast cysts: http://www.empowher.com/breast-cysts/content/what-are-breast-cysts
Let us know if we can help you more!

But it still doesn't mean a ban will be made into law. The House of Lords now have their say in a vote on Tuesday.
And the final decision is up to the government.
But they want MPs and the Lords to vote to help them decide what should happen to the controversial tradition of hunting.
Big result
The MPs had three options to choose from:
And the result was huge, with 386 voting for a ban against 175.
They completely rejected the 'middle way' option which would have allowed hunting but with tight restrictions.
But it's thought the House of Lords might vote for that option.
Earlier this year, Scotland decided to ban hunting. It will be illegal there by the end of 2002.
But England and Wales may have to wait until 2003 if the government does decide to ban the sport.

2.5 kilograms of cocaine discovered in suitcases
2.5 kilograms of cocaine discovered in suitcases
Detectives from the Organised and Financial Crime Agency New Zealand (OFCANZ), working together with Customs Officers and Police, have arrested and charged four people with serious drug importation and supply offences following the termination of Operation Grenoble.
Operation Grenoble began on Friday 7 March when approximately 2.5 kilograms of cocaine was discovered by Customs officers at Auckland International Airport. The drugs were concealed in two suitcases which were brought into the country by a 42 year-old Brazilian national who arrived on a flight from South America.
Detective Senior Sergeant Lloyd Schmid from OFCANZ Auckland said the cocaine seized during Operation Grenoble had a street value of up to $1 million .
"Over the last five days we have undertaken enquiries to establish the intended path of the cocaine and made a number of arrests," Mr Schmid said. "In the process we have uncovered a supply route from Auckland to Christchurch."
On Sunday 9 March a 31 year old Brazilian man was arrested in Auckland as he prepared to transport the drugs to the South Island.
On Monday 10 March the Canterbury District Armed Offenders squad stopped a vehicle in Gloucester Street, Christchurch and arrested a 35 year old Brazilian man who had taken possession of the suitcases. Later that evening another 36 year old Brazilian man was arrested at a Linwood address.
"Operation Grenoble is another great example of enforcement agencies sharing intelligence, resources and expertise to combat trans-national crime," Mr Schmid said.
Customs Manager Investigations Maurice O'Brien said that Customs will continue to utilise all its resources to intercept illicit drugs and work in co-operation with OFCANZ and Police to address the threat posed by these drug importations and syndicates.
