Live Commentary
So Group C is underway with Zambia and Ethiopia both earning a point. The second game of the day gets underway in just over an hour with Nigeria taking on Burkina Faso. But for now, thanks very much for your input. I've been Tom Maston for Goal.com.
Well, well, well. Defending champions Zambia couldn't break through and Ethiopia deserved their point after their performance before going down to ten men. They will be no pushovers in this tournament if that display is anything to go by.
90' + 4'Yellow Card A. Butako
90' + 3'Yellow Card Minyahile Teshome Beyene
90' + 3'SubstitutionMinyahile Teshome Beyene F. Ibrahim
90'Ethiopia on the attack but they can't get a sight of goal. Mayuka gets away down the left at the other end but his cross is hit with too much power and the chance is gone.
90'We are into three minutes of stoppage time. Can either side find a winner?
89'Chance for Zambia as a well worked free-kick is played to Sinkala on the edge of the box, but with the ball bobbling he can only fire it over the bar. The pitch has really played its part in this match and that was a good illustration of it.
86'Jacob Mulenga has been largely wasteful since his introduction and he carries on in that vein as he shoots over from a tight angle when a corss would have been a better option.
85'Zambia are playing a high line in search of a winner and Adane almost plays Saledin in behind, but the defenders cut the ball out when the striker looked to set to run in on goal.
84'SubstitutionChristopher Katongo Emmanuel Mayuka
82'Ethiopia aren't settling for a point. Goalscorer Adane shares some neat interplay with substitute Addis but his cross is cleared. Not long left now for either of these teams to find a winner.
79'After not having a save to make for much of the second half, Tadele pulls off a good one to deny Mbesuma. The big striker hit it on the turn and as it bobbles towards the corner the goalkeeper turns it behind for a corner.
76'Saledin has come to life again for Ethiopia, but he cannot keep the ball after finding some space. Could still go either way this one.
75'SubstitutionIsaac Chansa Mukuka Mulenga
73'The reigning champions are rally pushing and Mulenga should do better with a free header at the back post but he can only direct the effort over the bar. He may have been better off leaving the ball for Katongo behind him who seemed better placed.
72'Zambia beginning to build the pressure and a Nkausu cross is aimed at Mbesuma, but the defenders do well to clear the ball before Saledin wins a free kick on halfway.
69'Yellow Card Collins Mbesuma
BIG MOMENT! Mbesuma powers into the box and seems to be tugged by Reda. The referee disagrees though and books the striker for simulation.
68'That goal has done Ethiopia the world of good, but their over-confidence almost costs them as they lose the ball midway in their own half. Eventually Mulenga has a speculative effort that dribbles wide.
65'Assist S. Said
65'Goal Adane Girma
GOAL FOR ETHIOPIA! Addis makes an instant impact with a greeat reverse pass into Saledin, who in turn finds his captain Adane Gebreyes who beats Mweene at his near post to score a superb equaliser.
64'SubstitutionG. Kebede A. Hintsa
64'Ethiopia make their second change as Addis Hintsa replaces Kebede.
63'Zambia are comfortable at the moment and look like they may try and conserve their energy for matches to come. Still 1-0 with less than half an hour to go.
60'SubstitutionJoseph Musonda Jacob Mulenga
Zambia make their first substitution as Jacob Mulenga replaces Musonda, who was booked in the first half.
60'Katongo and Mbesuma are using all their experience and causing a real handful for the Ethiopia defence. The latter finds the former in the box but the captain shoots wide.
58'Mbesuma fires wide from distance for Zambia. The 2012 champions are trying to test substitute goalkeeper Tadele, but, the goal apart, he has had little to do since his introduction.
56'Felix Katongo tries his luck for Zambia from just outside the box, but his effort sails wide of the post via a deflection. The resulting corner is worked to Musonda but his shot is high and wide.
55'If Ethiopia are going to get back into this, Saledin looks set to be involved. Every ball forward is aimed at him, but with his slight frame he is struggling somewhat against the big Zambia centre-backs.
53'It looks as if Ethiopia are going to try and hit Zambia on the break. Their one man deficit means they are struggling to keep hold of the ball and Zambia are looking like they want to make this game safe as soon as possible.
50'Saledin holds the ball up well and lays it back for Getaneh Kebede 30 yards from goal. The attacker tries to curl and effort over Mweene but it misses the target.
48'Ethiopia try to get the ball forward towards Saledin but they cannot hold onto it. The striker may only need one chance to get the 1962 Afcon winners back into this, but creating that opportunity could prove difficult.
46'Ethiopia get us started in the second half, but Zambia win the ball straight away as they look to take control of this match.
The teams are back out and the second half is about to get underway!
With the second half just minutes away, @angesom1 has tweeted 'Ethiopia was supposed to be one goal up but is now one goal down.......unbelieveable but we stilll got time to get the equalizer!'. Obviously a lot of belief from Ethiopia supporters, but playing against the reigning champions for 45 minutes with just ten men won't be easy.
What a 45 minutes of football that was!. Do you think Tassew should have been given his marching orders. Can Ethiopia get back into this or will Zambia's numerical advantage see them run out victors. Tweet me @maston91 with your thoughts.
The referee blows the half-time whistle and we can all breath again. Zambia lead through Mbesuma's goal it could have been very different if Saledin hadn't missed two great chances, including one from the penalty spot. The sending-off of goalkeeper Tassew will hurt Ethiopia and they face an uphill battle to get back into the game.
45' + 3'Assist Isaac Chansa
45' + 3'Goal Collins Mbesuma
GOAL FOR ZAMBIA! It has been a frustrating half for Collins Mbesuma, but he has finished it with the opening goal of the game. A chipped ball is headed down into his path and he gets between the two centre-backs and powers it home from close range.
45' + 1'Yellow Card Joseph Musonda
The referee has been kept busy in the first half, and Musonda is the next man to have his name taken for a mistimed challenge on Getaneh Kebede.
45'Kalaba is a real threat down the right hand side for Zambia, but his most recent cross is expertly cleared. Into three minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half.
44'Kalaba powers in a cross from the right as Zambia look to make their numerical advantage count, but Mbesuma can't control his header and it floats wide.
41'The resulting free-kick is curled wide by Rainford Kalaba and Ethiopia can now reorganise with just 10 men.
40'Yellow Card Aynalem Hailu Reda
In the aftermath of the red card incident, Ethiopia's Aynalem Reda was booked for dissent
39'SubstitutionS. Bekele Z. Tadele
Ethiopia finally bring on their substitue goalkeeper Zerihun Tadelle replacing midfielder Shimelese Bekele.
38'Still awaiting the restart in this match, with the officials having a discussion in the middle of the pitch.
35'Red Card J. Tassew
RED CARD FOR ETHIOPIA! Tassew is stretchered off, but that doesn't save him and he is dismissed for a professional foul. The Ethiopia coach is on the field arguing with the referee, but he isn't going to change his mind for anyone.
34'Tassew is still down and the referee is looks to be waiting for him to get up before making a decision. Lungu is up and about and seems set to continue.
31'Poor defending from Ethiopia allows Lungu to break through but under pressure from Tassew he can only lob wide. The pair clatter into each other after the ball is gone and though Tassew is down, he could still be in trouble with the referee.
30'Mbesuma wins a free kick around 35 yards from goal, and though his powerful effort is half-blocked by the wall, Tassew has to be on his toes to gather the ball with two Zambia players lurking in the box.
28'Despite that penalty miss, Saledin's confidence hasn't been knocked and he shows nifty footwork to create space for a shot, but he slices wide. Moments later he fires over from distance as the minnows continue to press.
26'Down the other end, Zambia almost punish Saledin even further as Katongo fires in a low shot that goalkeeper Jemal Tassew does brilliantly to save one-handed low to his left.
25'Penalty save Kennedy Mweene
25'Missed Penalty S. Said
PENALTY SAVED! Kennedy Mweene becomes a hero for his country as he parries Saledin's penalty away from danger. In all honesty not a great spot kick.
24'Yellow Card Chisamba Lungu
PENALTY TO ETHIOPIA! Great counter-attacking play eventually reaches Saledin and he cuts onto his right foot before Chasamba Lungu brings him down. The defender booked for his trouble.
21'Another poor delivery from Zambia in wide areas but they win a corner. The set-piece is worked short and after some neat interplay Zambia captain Felix Katongo should score with a free header but it balloons harmlessly into the stands.
17'OH SO CLOSE FOR ETHIOPIA! A terrible error from Hijani Himoonde allows Saladin to run in one-on-one with Mweene. The forward lobs the goalkeeper but the rock hard surface sees his effort bounce over the bar when on a softer pitch it would have surely nestled in the back of the net.
15'Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene is known for having skill with his feet, and his searching crossfield pass finds Joseph Musonda on the left, but his cross is weak and easily dealt with.
14'After something of a frenetic opening, the game has settled down somewhat. Zambia are looking to find Mbesuma with an aerial ball, but more often than not the striker can't get on the end of it.
11'Yellow Card Stophira Sunzu
The first yellow card of the game goes to Zambia's Sunzu for a cynical challenge on Said Saladin. Not a great challenge, but the resulting free-kick is easily cleared.
9'Zambia certainly look the more likely in these early stages, but the Ethiopian defence has dealt with everything thus far and don't seem daunted by the situation.
6'Ethiopia get their first look at Davies Nkausu's long thrown as he hurls one into the box, but Collins Mbesuma, who had a spell in England with Portsmouth, can't control his flick-on and it drops out of play for a goal kick.
4'Early action at both ends as an Ethiopian corner pinballs around the area and Minyahile Beyene scoops the ball well over the bar.
2'Zambia keep the ball well in the early stages and go close to breaking the deadlock as defender Stophira Sunzu, who scored the winning penalty in the 2012 final, strikes one from all of 35 yards that is just too high.
1'Zambia get us underway and Group C of the 2013 African Cup of Nations has begun!
The national anthems of both teams have come and gone and we are all but ready for kick-off. The competition has yet to really come alight after only five goals in the four weekend matches, so fans will be hoping for a bit more entertainment at the start of the first full week of the tournament.
Despite being the reigning champions, Zambia only just scraped into this year's competition after beating Uganda 9-8 on penalties in their qualifier, but their form has improved since then and they are clear favourites for this encounter.
The teams are in the tunnel and, as always in Africa, there is a party atmosphere. The Ethiopian supporters are especially enjoying themselves as they watch their team in the tournament for the first time in 31 years.
Ethiopia: Tassew, Bune, Reda, Mekonnen, Seyoum, Zewc, Gobena, Beyene, Kebede, Godo, Saladin.
Zambia: Mweene, Musonda, Himoonde, Nkausu, Sunzu, Chansa, Katongo, Kalaba, Sinkala, Lungu, Mbesuma.
The teams are in ahead of kick-off in South Africa...
Hello and welcome along to Goal.com's LIVE commentary of the opening match in Group C of the African Cup of Nations as holders Zambia take on minnows Ethiopia at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

Luc is what ABC Open Producers refer to as a 'star contributor'.
Whenever ABC Open launches a new project Luc is the first one into my office wanting to know when and where he can sign up for the next workshop. He loves learning new things, meeting new people and generally just giving anything and everything a go.
Earlier this year Luc decided to expand his media skills by participating in the Rev On The Road Film Festival. Luc's film can be seen above.
The following is an extract, written by Luc, about his experience.
In early August this year I attended a weekend film-making workshop run by Rev On The Road and ABC Open. I found it to be very informative and a really fun event.
At the end of the workshop we were encouraged to take our new found skills and put them to use by creating a short film and then entering it in the Rev On The Road Film Festival, which toured around the state, including Esperance, at the end of September.
So I did just that, and my entry, 'My Place', won the prize for the 50+ category.
'My Place' was shot on a smart phone, as I have no other camera, and edited on a small 10 inch laptop.
The subject of my film was the Esperance Tanker Jetty, which I chose for several reasons. I think the Esperance Tanker Jetty is such a beautiful subject as it's full of different colours and textures. Also, as a teenager, I have hundreds of fond memories fishing, swimming, snorkelling, and generally hanging out around the jetty.
When I think of my favourite place, I think of the Esperance Jetty. It's 'My Place', and it will always hold a deep, emotional spot in my heart.

Money and support are trickling back into Rep. Todd Akin's U.S. Senate campaign in Missouri a month after he was abandoned by the Republican Party for claiming that victims of "legitimate rape" can't get pregnant.
Despite intense pressure in August from nearly all GOP factions to get out of the race, Akin clung to his campaign, remaining competitive in the polls against Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill. And while party officials are still keeping their distance from Akin, notable conservatives, including former presidential contender Rick Santorum and Sen. Jim DeMint, a Tea Party favorite, are coming to Akin's defense.
Akin's one-time lead over McCaskill is now gone, and he is trailing one of the Democrats that Republicans targeted in their quest to take control of the Senate. Still, Akin's supporters insist he's within striking distance of winning.
"I think that this race is now reverting back to normal," Akin campaign spokesman Rick Tyler told The Washington Examiner on Wednesday "And normal would be a referendum on Claire McCaskill and her record."
Akin's decision to remain in the race became official Tuesday, when he let pass a final deadline to withdraw. Ignoring renewed calls to step down, Akin launched a four-day statewide bus tour with conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly.
"Some Republicans and interest groups may, in fact, be eating their words and backing Congressman Akin because their ultimate concern is a Republican takeover of the Senate," George Connor, a Missouri State University political science professor, told The Examiner.
Republicans must win at least four additional seats to take control of the Senate. Missouri had seemed like a sure win for the GOP, in part because the state is trending conservative and because McCaskill backed Obama's health care reform law, which is unpopular in her home state. That calculus changed dramatically after Akin claimed rape victims can't get pregnant.
Virtually the entire Republican Party, including presidential nominee Mitt Romney, called on Akin to step down so another Republican could challenge McCaskill. The party pulled millions of dollars it was going to spend on ads backing Akin, though the Senate campaign committee hinted Wednesday that it might still provide him money.
But it is some of the nation's most prominent conservatives who are riding to Akin's rescue, including Santorum, DeMint, former House Speaker and presidential contender Newt Gingrich and Tea Party favorite Mike Huckabee.
"It is very important that Republicans across this country understand that Todd Akin is key to our winning control of the Senate," Gingrich said during an appearance with Akin.
The Missouri Republican Party continues to back Akin, as does the state's Republican U.S. Senator, Roy Blunt.
Akin continues to face major financial hurdles, however. The Republican National Committee and the Senate Republicans' fundraising arm withdrew their financial support, leaving Akin with just about $500,000 in his campaign coffers, a fraction of McCaskill's $3.5 million.
Six weeks out from Election Day, conservatives are helping Akin rebuild that war chest. Gingrich helped him raise money this week, and DeMint's PAC, the Senate Conservative Fund, is polling its contributors to determine whether it should fund Akin's race.
"Party leaders in Washington have made it clear that they won't help him regardless of how close the race is," DeMint's PAC told supporters.
McCaskill, meanwhile, has launched a statewide ad campaign highlighting Akin's comments about rape.

An IPOD Top-10 List, and Other Diversions
Steve Bainbridge recommends that celebrities, politicians, and ordinary mortals create iPOD top-10 lists by accessing their 25-most played category. It is a troublesome metric for me. I wish I, like Nick Horby, spent time thinking about what music I like. But I don't, so my iPOD tells me that I like eclectic, sometimes objectively weak, songs. But in the spirit of the news hole this holiday weekend, my top-10 list follows after the jump. Oh, and I'll throw in a few lively sites that I read in the daily surf to divert you…
My "Top 10" List:
1. New Slang (The Shins)
2. Hurt (Johnny Cash)
3. (Sittin' On The) Dock of the Bay (Otis Reading)
4. I Can See Clearly Now (Jimmy Cliff)
5. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground (The White Stripes)
6. The Book of Love (Magnetic Fields)
7. Bitter Tears (Magnetic Fields)
8. Run Out Pon Dem (Sizzla)
9. King Without a Crown (Matisyahu)
10. Feeling Good (Nina Simone)
No, I'm not proud of all of these. But revealed preferences don't lie. I guess Natalie Portman was right about the Shins. And, in the spirit of full disclosure, I'll admit that somewhere in the next 11-25 lurked a Green Day song, something by Kenny Rogers (you can guess what), and something by Howard Shore. Sheesh.
In other news, President Bush made explicit his perception of a connection between the Cold War and the War on Terror. Except that he believes that terrorists do not respond to normal incentive carrots and deterrence sticks:
Today, at the start of a new century, we are again engaged in a war unlike any our nation has fought before — and like Americans in Truman's day, we are laying the foundations for victory. (Applause.) The enemies we face today are different in many ways from the enemy we faced in the Cold War. In the Cold War, we deterred Soviet aggression through a policy of mutually assured destruction. Unlike the Soviet Union, the terrorist enemies we face today hide in caves and shadows — and emerge to attack free nations from within. The terrorists have no borders to protect, or capital to defend. They cannot be deterred — but they will be defeated. (Applause.)
Two comments. First, MAD deterred us too – now, we're left to weak internal controls. Second, in its intra-generational, geographic, and religious scope, this is a grim message. Glenn Greenwald explains the domestic problem here. (See a contrary view of civil life here.)
The Lincoln Hall/Everest climbing story reminds me quite a bit of the Case of the Spelucean Explorers. Assume that Lincoln Hall survives, and further assume that Everest falls within the jurisdiction of a U.S. state. Can Hall sue his team? Can the estate of David Sharpe sue his team? Assume that other climbers, passing Hall who they assumed to be near-death, took air canisters and food from him. Can they be criminally prosecuted?
And finally, a ghost ship has washed ashore in the Barbados. Can Disney refrain from using the tragedy in its advertisements for its next (stale) popcorn thriller? Time will tell.

Stimulation Of Small And Medium Size Enterprises By The German State During The Crisis
Knowing that the small and medium size enterprises should be protected so it can make the first steps to eliminate the effects of the crisis, the federal government has turned its attention to supporting SMEs. In this respect it has taken a series of measures to revitalize the role of SMEs, by adopting an effective and stimulating framework, based on the principle that private enterprise is at the heart of economic policy. In this direction, the federal government through the Federal Ministry of Economy identified nine urgent steps necessary to produce recovery in the private sector. The nine points are: expand the possibilities of financing; establish a credit mediator; mobilize venture capital for high-tech initiatives; stimulate the creation of companies and simplify the process of succession; increase the innovation capacity of SMEs; guarantee the necessary labor force; facilitate access to foreign markets; reduce taxes; establish a dialogue with representatives of SME's

Kansas State, other state universities see enrollment drop
Associated Press - September 27, 2015 1:21 pm
Kansas State University officials are attributing the school's first enrollment decline in nine years to tougher admission standards.
The Manhattan Mercury (http://bit.ly/1jnBGX0) reports enrollment fell by 620 students, or 2.5 percent, according to a Kansas Board of Regents report detailing last week's official census.
The report says enrollment at state universities overall dropped by about 1 percent, or 890 students, while enrollment at the state's technical colleges rose by 6.3 percent.
The University of Kansas and Fort Hays State are the only state universities to see a rise in student numbers.
Kansas State dean of students Pat Bosco says the school has weathered the transition from being a virtual open admissions school to one that intentionally prioritizes student success.

From what I understand, getting a silencer to work on a revolver usually requires modifying the manual safety on the slide of the cylinder gap where the bolt goes into battery with the forcing cone.
I wish I could silence my blender.
Nicely played, sir.
You're correct. The Redhawk or Super Redhawk conversion, set up as a short range sniping rifle (it had around a 10" barrel, foregrip and a bipod with a stock), suppressed, showed up in a few gun magazines in the late 80s/early 90s, and was also used as a prop in The X-Files in one episode.
I'd make fun of a dodobird if it was brought up, too. Just because it existed does not mean it is viable.
See the ACA.
Why isn't it viable? It may not be popular because the gun smithing isn't cheap, but it's viable if you have the moolah.
Posted using Outdoor Hub Campfire
There was even a GP100 conversion as well. Essentially any wheelguns can be converted to seal up the cylinder gap.
Posted using Outdoor Hub Campfire
So how's the cylinder going to turn on a non-Nagant style revolver with zero cyinder gap? Answer: it can't.
I usually think of it as the more common and widley understood term for what mall ninjas insist on calling a suppressor, when they are trying to sound like operators.
Correcting people on "silencer" vs. "suppressor" ranks right below correcting people on "magazine" vs. "clip" in the list of annoying habits that identify mall ninjas and gun-geeks down at the gun shop.
It's called proper terminolgy. I prefer correct terminolgy so things are not easily mistaken. "Look out, private there is an M16 here." Private trips over a M16 mine looking for a M16 rifle.
Just be sure to get a revolver that has the thing that goes up.
Lots of fail in this thread, when they use a silencer on a revolver in the movies don't you guys even notice the thumbs forward position that covers the cylinder gap and keeps it quiet?
I joined the NRA, have you yet?
There are three effective way to suppress (silence) revolvers. As noted above, revolvers that seal the B/C gap can be silenced. The most common is the Nagant but there were others, including the Peiper. #2 is to build a silencer around the whole gun. This has only been done once that I know of, but it has been done. #3 is silence the ammunition. This is done by was is basically a condom loaded into the round. This was, as far as I know, first done by the US Army during the Vietnam war in the .44 QSP (quiet special purpose) revolver used by the tunnel rats. Also in Russian the UDAT revolver, which fires a 32 gauge shotgun cartridge, is available with commercially produced silenced ammunition. Just not available in this country, at least not over the counter.
Tunnel Rats carried Silenced Revolvers in VietNam.
Knights also made a Suppressed Revolver.
Google for pix.
Thanks for the info guys. It's interesting. I looked further with your comments and this was found:
I knew about the Soviet "spy" silenced pistol with the sealed ammo, but not the qspr revolver.
The old Webley revolvers pulled the cylinder rearwards during indexing and then pushed it forward to seal against the forcing cone.
My 686 is pretty quiet with an AAC Evo9 can on. Just as quiet as any semi auto I have.
Neither are Hollywood quiet. My 22 can on an air rifle is hollywood quiet, but thats it.
Sent from my SCH-R830 using Ohub Campfire mobile app
If calling it a silencer or a suppressor is bad, can I call it a quietner?

What is Forex Mini, Micro and Standard Lot?
A Forex Lot is the amount of currency you buy or sell. Say for example you wish to buy 100,000 USD, 100,000 is basically your trade size.
Forex Lot is basically representation of Trade Size in a different format. A Standard Lot would represent 100,000 of any currency, whereas a Mini Lot represents 10,000 and a Micro Lot represents 1,000.
So essentially 10 Mini Lots make 1 Standard Lot and 10 Micro Lots make 1 Mini Lot.
100,000 of a currency represents one Standard Lot or ten Mini Lots or one hundred Micro Lots in Forex market.
100 Micro Lot = 10 Mini Lot = 1 Standard Lot
When you place orders online you should know what account you have and how your broker lets you trade. For example with MBT, you can have an Standard Forex Account and still place trades in Mini Lots. On the other hand with Dukascopy you can only trade Standard Lots.

At Tentsmiths we carefully construct well researched tents for museums, movies, reenactors, safari/ hunting camps and more. We even build homes. Some of our tents have been used for years by folks unwilling to accept hard walls for a home, while others have taken the trip to Haiti to house families whose walls no longer stand. We have even constructed tents for archeological digs in far off places. (Indiana Jones?) We're known for our historical accuracy and uncompromising attention to structural detail. Our catalog is used throughout the industry as a research document. Yes, other companies try to copy us but it is our background in engineering, our passion for research and our personalities obsessed with perfectionism that separate Tentsmiths tents from any other.Over the years we have been contracted to build tents for prestigious, historic establishments such as the Smithsonian, Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, Valley Forge, Fortress Louisbourg and lots more. We've even spent a week in white gloves inspecting, measuring, observing and then replicating one of George Washington's original marquees for Yorktown and the National Park Service. We have constructed tents for museum exhibitions all over the world, including Mr. Ripley's tent which he lived in while collecting specimens for his "Believe It or Not" museums. Believe it or not!
While it says a great deal about our attention to historic detail being contracted to replicate tents for museums, it's movies that give us the most colorful exposure. From "Last of the Mohicans" and "The Patriot" to "The Alamo" and the series "John Adams" we have been selected to replicate the canvas for the time periods and "feel" the set dressers are looking for. Tentsmiths is known in the movie industry as a company that gets it done right, on time and on budget. Unique in the movie production world.
Last, and certainly most, are the many reenactors we have housed in the last thirty three years. The Viking era through the Middle Ages, and now heavily into World War II, we have researched and built strong, long lasting historic tents that set the stage and cover the fields at all historic events in this country and around the world. Our clients are doing it all and Tentsmiths tents are providing historic structures to show off their personas and keep them weatherproof.
Please look through our offerings on these pages. We look forward to the opportunity to be of service to you in the future.

The paper Starbucks cup fell out of the alleged attacker's car into a car park on February 19 as the female victim managed to escape.
The cup had a sticker with coffee information on it that revealed it had been bought at a drive-through outlet in DuPont, Washington, earlier that day.
Police analysed CCTV footage and arrested 35-year-old Bryon E. Johnston on Tuesday.
A judge found probable cause to hold Johnston in jail on one count of first-degree rape, one count of attempted first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree kidnapping over the February attack and a similar attack in November when another woman was abducted from a bus stop in Olympia.
He has been held on $250,000 bail at Thurston County Jail.
Paul Strophy, Johnston's defence attorney, declined to comment.
The woman attacked in February said as she escaped from the vehicle she noticed several items falling to the ground from the open door, The Olympian reported.
She later pointed these items out to police as they investigated the scene in a car park at an abandoned motor inn.

Joey Belladonna Rejoins Anthrax
In their 29 years as a band, Anthrax have always had a revolving door when it comes to singers, from Neil Turbin to Joey Belladonna, who was most associated with the gig, to John Bush, who had a long successful tenure, to Dan Nelson, who recorded an album, 'Worship Music,' which was shelved before release last year.
But Noisecreep is happy to report that Belladonna, long-considered the essential Anthrax vocalist, is back. The singer, who was seen with drummer Charlie Benante and bassist Frank Bello in New York last month, has officially rejoined these legendary thrashers. Belladonna will make his first live appearance with the band this summer on the 'Big Four' tour featuring Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. That tour was already shaping up to be a monster, but with Anthrax's definitive vocalist rejoining the fold, that tour's awesomeness just increased tenfold. Belladonna will also play a spate of headlining shows.
"I am super excited about this," said guitarist Scott Ian in a statement. "Joey and the rest of the band came to see me play at a club in New York, I hadn't seen Joey for years, since the end of the reunion tour. Joey taps me on the shoulder, instant big hug, it felt like no time had gone by. The band dynamic is an interesting one – in Anthrax, Joey and I spent so many years of our lives together, we grew up together, we know each other so well, so it was like no time was lost."
Belladonna sang for Anthrax from 1985 to 1992 on modern classics like 'Spreading the Disease,' 'Among the Living' and 'Persistence of Time.' He returned to the fold and rejoined all the original members of Anthrax for the 2005 – 2007 "Among the Living Tour." This reunion is a bit different, though, and everyone is in a positive headspace.
Belladonna himself said, "I had been in touch with Charlie and Frank, then I got a call from their manager who said that everyone wanted me back in the band. I thought, 'Are you guys for real? You want me up there, fronting the band like it was before?' I was thrilled. We've already started to reconnect with the old ways of having conversations. Everything is easy going and feels really good."
"We're going to do these summer shows and gel as a band," said Benante, as well. "Get comfortable playing with each other again, and the energy from that should go right into making new music." Back in October, Benante intimated that the band was in discussions with Bush. Never a dull moment when it comes to singin' for Anthrax.
"John was a real stand up guy about the situation," said Ian, about John Bush, who filled the vocalist post from '92 – '05. "He knew we wanted to move forward at full speed, that we needed a total commitment to Anthrax, and he knew that wasn't what he wanted. We certainly wish John well. We've had so many great times with him, and we appreciate his stepping in last summer at the last minute, and performing with us since then. He will always be an integral part of the Anthrax family."
Immediately following the final Sonisphere festival in early August, the band will fly back to the U.S. and begin writing and rehearsing for a new album that's expected in early 2011.
"We've got an unusual luxury of hindsight," added Ian in the statement. "We finished an album a year ago, we've lived with those 12 songs since then, and we can look back on them and see what we really love and what we can make even better, especially with Joey back in the fold."
Added Benante, "There are five or six songs from a year ago that we don't want to change, we love them the way they are, other than having Joey making them his own with his vocals. Then there's another five or six that we may want to rework, and then there are a bunch of other tunes that are still in the early stages, that we want to finish.
"The band has been on an emotional roller coaster since last summer," Benante continued, "but I think everything that we've had to deal with during that time was pushing us toward this, to Joey being back in Anthrax, and the timing couldn't be more perfect or appropriate. To have Joey with us playing these shows with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth is the way it should be — as Anthrax's vocalist from '85 to '92, he was part of 'The Big Four.'"
Welcome back, Mr. Belladonna. This news just made our week. Just one question, though, guys: Where's guitarist Dan Spitz? We kid, we kid.

Replica of Shirdi Sai Baba temple in MumbaiDecember 14th, 2011 - 12:06 am ICT by IANS
Mumbai, Dec 13 (IANS) A replica of the Sai Baba temple in Maharashtra's Shirdi town will be recreated here as part of a four-day festival starting Dec 15, an organiser said Tuesday.
The replica of the temple will have a 24-feet-tall idol of Sai Baba, the biggest ever created so far in Mumbai, which will be put up at the sprawling Bandra-Kurla Complex grounds for the Shri Sai Satcharitra Mahaparayan festival.
The creative genius behind the effort is acclaimed Bollywood mega-sets designer Nitin C. Desai. It would offer prayer opportunity to those devotees of Sai Baba who cannot travel to Shirdi, nearly 300 km from here.
During the festival from Dec 15-18, the Shirdi temple set will showcase the life, times and spiritual journey of Sai Baba and his disciples with the help of mannequins, music and bhajans, before a daily seated crowd of over 15,000.
"The feeling of Shirdi begins at the main grand entrance to the venue and would feature Sai Baba's favourite Neem tree, his Samadhi temple, his paduka and other highlights associated with the great saint," Desai said, unveiling the set before reporters.
He admitted that recreating Shirdi temple in Mumbai was an uphill task, but it has been achieved successfully and now the people, especially children, would be able to better understand Sai Baba and his legend.
"I am grateful to the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi, and the Om Saidham Mandir Trust for this wonderful opportunity to re-create a Shirdi in Mumbai," Desai said.

|Lake Ridge Golf Course -- Nice place to play
|Review by: Al Albert
|Lake Ridge is a very nice course. Their signature hole, Par 3- 15th is a thing of beauty as you gaze upon the city of reno and the mountain ranges. Overall the course was nice, but not as hard as expected. The biggest challenge was the rental clubs they rented. The ones we had were pitiful and wound up not using the driver at all. But for golf this was nice.

Only with relevant information and resources included in Sprint's Relay ID pack can we have an exciting "mobile online experience" as these apps have taken into consideration our unique informational and entertainment needs."
Mike Ellis, director-Sprint Relay Service, said, "The Sprint Relay ID pack addresses current and future needs of an important - and growing - segment of the U.S. population. It also demonstrates that Sprint takes corporate responsibility for disabilities. Sprint has provided relay capabilities for more than 20 years, and we're pleased to now make it even easier for people who have trouble hearing on the phone to use their mobile phones."
Sprint Relay services capabilities were recently featured on "The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television" where Ellis and Mary Beth Mothersell, Sprint Relay customer relations manager, introduced viewers to Sprint's communication options for people who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing or have a speech disability. The segment www.thebalancingact.com/story/?id=2910 will air during May. Sprint Relay services, a leader in the industry, was recently lauded with two major honors for innovation and customer experience. The Paisley Group National Relay TTY Performance Index(TM) ranked Sprint Relay highest in customer care and speed of service. Sprint Relay also earned ABILITY Magazine's Best Practices Award for its relay service and its "spirit of inclusion, both in the workplace and in the consumer marketplace."
Customers with Sprint ID-capable devices can download up to five ID packs onto their phone and easily switch back and forth between them or swap them out for new ones. Sprint ID packs are free to download with an Everything Data plan. Sprint ID packs are tailored to specific interests (e.g. entertainment or golf enthusiast), business needs or favorite brands (e.g. ESPN or MTV).

Protagonist Cat is assistant to a celebrity, one Rochelle "Rocky" Love. Cat works hard to help her boss, and in her downtime she picks her way gingerly through the sophisticated maze of life in Manhattan. Rocky is a has-been who is intent on reviving her career by producing an autobiography. Rocky expects a sympathetic rendering of her past, but Rocky's ghostwriter easily unearths her flaws and errors. When Cat is burned by Rocky, she teams with the ghostwriter to publish Rocky's unsavory history. This savvy and quietly funny story is told from Cat's perspective, which is both young and knowing. With her clear and sober tone narrator Marisa Vitali shares Cat's view of life along with an authentic, inside vision of Manhattan life.
Is fame really worth all the trouble?
Aspiring cartoonist Catherine "Cat" Gold earns her living as a celebrity assistant in uptown Manhattan, while navigating the cramped downtown spaces of life, love, and alternative art. Her boss is Rochelle "Rocky" Love, a celebrated 1970s feminist and has-been '80s radio and television star who is convinced she can forge a '90s comeback with an autobiography. But the ghostwriter hired to glorify her life instead reveals a battleground of treachery and hypocrisy, littered with lies and sex that cross all the boundaries. When Cat herself experiences Rocky's duplicity and learns that the icon is a fraud, she is fueled by a sense of disappointment and conspires with the ghostwriter to reveal the unspeakable truth about their narcissistic boss.

Writing a plot summary of Animal House would be like scribbling down a synopsis of Jaws: you know who's in it, you know what it's about, so I'll just skip to the part where you roll your eyes at my terrible, terrible taste. Shameful Admission Number One: I hadn't seen Animal House until this past April, nearly six years after leaving college behind. Shameful Admission Number Two: I...really don't find it all that funny. To save you some scrolling, the "...the hell's wrong with you?" hate mail link is right over here. I don't mean that it's not funny in the sense of making me cringe and groan as if it were a direct-to-video American Pie sequel or something. Sure, it's buoyed by one of those casts where half the actors went onto bigger and better things, and I appreciate how influential it's been, but...I guess I've seen so many movies that have shamelessly ripped off Animal House that even my first time through, it felt like I'd already seen it twenty-seven times before. I watch it with complete indifference up until the Deltas' manic siege on the parade, the only stretch of the movie that hadn't been Xeroxed into a couple dozen other frat-comedy screenplays.
But...hey, if I were a character in a college comedy, I'd be some virginal dweeb wearing hornrimmed glasses and named "Merton Nerdlinger" or something, so maybe I just passed the target demographic an exit or two back. Everyone else gives the movie four stars...or five stars...or however many stars are on their rating scale...so here's an open invitation to ignore me. Regardless of how you wind up reacting to the movie, pop culture demands that you see it at least once, but Animal House is too tepid a comedy for me to want to shell out thirty bucks to own forever and ever, amen.
Video: Universal has popped Animal House onto a combo disc with a 1.85:1 high definition presentation on one side of the disc and standard definition on the other. This is a lower-budgeted movie from the late '70s, and it was banged out quickly enough that there wasn't time to meticulously light each shot. Animal House may not look as objectively stellar as Blazing Saddles, the only other '70s comedy on HD DVD at present, or something shiny and new like Ćon Flux, but considering its age, budget, and quick-'n-dirty photography, I was pretty pleased. The HD DVD may not seem like it'd offer much of an improvement over a standard definition DVD at first glance, but the difference is more dramatic when you flip the disc over and actually start directly comparing shots. As long as you go in with reasonable expectations, knowing that this isn't going to be some robust, three-dimensional image with vivid colors that leap off the screen, I think you'll walk away fairly happy.
This HD DVD has been mastered from the same transfer as the "Double Secret Probation Edition" DVD, and the frame jump when the camera hops inside the Dexter Lake Club is still present and accounted for, unfortunately.
Audio: Although the original monaural audio isn't included on the HD DVD side of the disc, the Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio doesn't take all that many liberties. The surround channels are sparsely used, there isn't much to coax a belch out of the subwoofer, and the mix is at ease anchoring as much front-'n-center as possible. The track gets a little more lively during some of the more raucous party stuff, and although the film's dialogue has an unavoidably dated quality to it, the music and sound effects are in decent enough shape. Nothing particularly remarkable, but...serviceable, as I think the kids are saying these days. One gaffe from the most recent special edition DVD does creep in, though: before Neidermeyer takes a golf ball to the head, the "now" in "Now drop and give me twenty" drops out.
A French 5.1 dub is also tacked on alongside subtitles in English, French, and Spanish.
Supplements: The extras are all on the DVD side of this combo disc and have been ported over from the "Double Secret Probation Edition" from a few years back.
First up is the twenty-three minute "Where Are They Now? A Delta Alumni Update", narrated by John Landis and featuring most of the main cast in character. Kinda cute but somewhere on the other side of funny, this mockufeaturette catches up with the Deltas (and Omegas and...) and weaves tales of urine-injection, re-re-marriage, senility, and political domination. The real documentary is "The Yearbook: An Animal House Reunion", a forty-five minute collection of interviews with the key cast and crew. It's extremely comprehensive, following the project from a germ of an idea to its theatrical premiere, all the while making it clear what a happy accident it was that the film was even greenlit, let alone such a colossal, career-defining success. Very much worth setting aside the time to watch.
In lieu of a commentary, the "Did You Know That?" subtitle track lobs out random facts like Meat Loaf being in the running for the role of Bluto, the multi-million dollar payday Donald Sutherland would've had if he'd opted for a percentage of the gross instead of a flat fee, and background stuff I didn't notice such as a couple of the ROTC guys at the parade forgetting to twirl their rifles. It's kinda subdued -- you can go a long, long time between these nuggets o' info -- but tosses out some good stuff when it sporadically kicks in. MxPx serve up a music video for their uninspired cover of "Shout", which has a few clips from the movie mixed in with some performance footage. A letterboxed, non-anamorphic theatrical trailer, a detailed set of production notes, and cast/crew bios round out the extras.
Animal House is the first combo release from Universal and is packaged differently than any other HD DVD I've seen so far. 'Combo format' is physically printed on the top of the case, the spine is squared off rather than rounded, and there's a latch on the other side that has to be flipped open to remove the disc. The case as a whole has a bit more heft to it.
Conclusion: National Lampoon's Animal House is required viewing just as a pop culture touchstone, but as a movie...? I'm not as keen on it as most. Considering that the low-budget photography doesn't exactly make for home theater demo material and that the regular DVD with all the same features can be had for eight bucks, this considerably more expensive combo disc is tough to recommend when there's a not-so-bad alternative available for so much less.
Special thanks go out to Bob Preskar for bringing a couple of flaws from the Double Secret Probation Edition to my attention.
The usual disclaimer: the screengrabs in this review were lifted from the DVD side of the disc to liven up what would otherwise be an awfully bland design and don't necessarily reflect the appearance of the movie on HD DVD.

Do the ios's and cios's update to newer revisions automatically, i beleive they do, but would that be done right away because the wifi connection I'll have will only be temporary?
the ios_installer and the cios_installer will load in and updated ur wii with the new components automatically. these are homebrewed tools, unlike Ninty's forced update which will make u to 4.0x.
Can I update them through wad manager at home after without a wifi connection?
there's off-line version for IOS/cios installation. yes, wad manager enables u to install IOS/cios one by one, without wifi.
serach for it at ur wish.
I plan on installing ios 38 included in the package but I've also downloaded 53 and 55 and am thinking of installing those too. I've heard they may mess up running original discs and still may not fix the #002 error problem on newer games; is this true?
38, 53, 55, 60, 61 are those u'll need. #002 be gone, if u do the right things. read more b4 u leap.
Does the gamma launcher included in the EOC tutorial package have the gamma002 fix and is it needed if I have the above mentioned ios's installed?
read the thread, then think.....
I basically want to get this right the first time and I will be without a wifi connection after so I want to get all the wifi needed components installed and up to date first and foremost.
finishing the former process, apply wanninoko_4.0_updater to update. not to update ur wii via Ninty server. ur wifi is good for online games, then.......
hahah~~ enjoy !

Dating Indonesian women may not be for everyone.
Indonesian women, particularly on the island of Java, are exceptionally beautiful. They tend towards the very feminine side, with lovely skin, are not too tall, and have knock-out smiles. There's plenty of plus on that side of things.
If wer'e to be honest we have to recognise that many men are interested in a woman who will take care of him, do the housework without complaint, and take care of other matters similarly without much bother. Your average Indonesian girl often fits the bill in this respect, certainly more than your average western woman, the less said about them the better.
On the other hand going out with Indonesian women in a romantic way can have many mysterious pitfalls.
Some women here are clearly only interested in money. Some men are unbothered by this. Others of the female variety, can, once we get to know them very well, come across as practically insane, hysterically emotional, scheming, over-possessive, inclined to, usually fake, attempts at self-harm in order to get their way. As I said, not for the faint-hearted.
There are a few Indonesia dating websites although the area is not nearly as developed as that in nearby Phillipines or Thailand. To begin your online journey on the Indonesian dating scene our very own "Meet" section has many a lady eager for company.
I'm a bit confused sorting out the woman groups.. If a guy would rather be with a slut or whore rather than a virgin (because the guy can have sex with a slut or whore but not a virgin) does the virgin give these women a bad name because of this (no guy wants to be with a frigid woman-correct?
And I've heard it said that the whore's give the slurs a bad name ( because they want money).
It's a bit confusing don't you think?
Personally i think a guy can't go weong with a nymphomaniac- that's my preference, you can keep the rest.
But why aren't there more nympho's in the world, it would be a happier place.
And with a nympho, you lose count of the money aspect because the whole time you're shagging if you add the price of each shag & what you spend/spent on them, it works out pretty cheap.
How am i going so far girls? haha What u think on that.
Why doesnt society train the virgins on how to be a sweet nympho once they find their significant other?
As james brown sings 'I got mine I don't worry about his'
yes I found my paradise in Indonesia,
I think you are looking negatively only at bule, Western culture is much the same as American, where the slogan 'Land of the FREE & home of the brave' is what yanks believe & will lay down their lives to fight for that, just as many western countries did in the world wars fighting the fascists.
Its called free will, we are free to choose how we live our live's even buying a bunch of Bintangs for every indonesian FREEloader we choose to like & have a good time with.
Just as you are free to never buy a bule a bintang your whole life.
We accept that – thats freedom. Many Indo's resent the freedom bule's have.
We choose to like you's knowing there is resentment
Most people I know of marry for love & commitment to one another, , also security which every woman wants & needs. Its also security for the man as he gets to live with & have kids with that special person in his life & be a role model to the kids & is meant to try to be a good husband to the wife & vive versa, everyone knows that. But when the marriage breaks down, the gloves come off & its handbags at 10 paces. Usually everyone involved suffers in some way.
If they have assets usually the woman & kids get most of it, in western countries anyway. That is when the negative stereotype ex-wife problem comes into play.
most guys get burned big time when a marriage breaks down.
I've found though most woman (in western countries) look for someone who has the ability to provide a secure & well off life together-
My brother in law has a 20 something girl tucked away in a flat who he visits most days, he reckons my sister is a mean bitch, i'm sure she would burn him to the max if a divorce was on the cards.He would most prob lose the house & 2 business's he has worked all his life to build.
who right, who's wrong depends on veiwpoint, on this subject i reckon.
Pak Agan Yth.,
It ever come down to morality. Bule is jahat and immoral, so he ever play Free Sek. We don't need to make it complicated.
Drs. A. Sudarsono.
I like to date one Indonesian girl living in Jakarta or Bali because every year two to three times spend my vacation in this amazing country
Achmad Sudarsono is right. Things were perfect in Indonesia before they sold the pirated DVDs of "Sex and The City", hence the emergence of Carry Bradshow wannabe.
All My Seksi Friend,
Is true: I am ever think about rilek and have a holiday. But as Mbak/Pak Agan hinted at, we must continue the fight. Will work on it, kawan2.

Rob Douglas: City staff costs jump
June 21, 2012
If you were listening closely Tuesday, you heard alarm bells emanating from Citizens Hall in Steamboat Springs. The alarm was triggered by a report presented to the Steamboat Springs City Council showing that city employee costs may soon consume more than 90 cents of every sales tax dollar collected by the city.
In spite of questions raised by the report that should have caused the city's elected fiduciaries to hit the pause button before granting raises to city workers, a bare majority of the council — Kenny Reisman, Walter Magill, Kevin Kaminski and Sonja Macys — authorized more than $1 million in "compression" raises during the next 18 months. And, on July 3, the council might authorize "market" raises that will add millions more to employee compensation during the next five years.
This was done even though starting next year the city will begin to draw down its reserve fund in order to cover millions of dollars in Iron Horse Inn debt payments and transfers to the capital projects fund during the next several years.
Let's back up a moment.
During the past three years, the City Council as well as the city's management team and employees have done a good job of maintaining services while building the city's financial reserves in order to be prepared for the possibility of an extended period of minimal economic growth or another recession — possibilities that now are probabilities given a deteriorating global economy.
Truth be told, because of a series of irresponsible, profligate city councils that never saw an Iron Horse they wouldn't mount, spending was out of control long before the onset of the recession. The spending binges of those previous councils cemented financial burdens that already have reduced the economic freedom of Steamboat. Fortunately, those spending junkies were cast into the shadows of the Great Recession with the bootprints of voters on their buttocks.

With a few exceptions, those spendthrifts were replaced by fiscally prudent council members who cast out the old management team and brought in a new team that can read a spreadsheet. Since those changes, our little micropolitan has been doing better than most across the nation.
However, since the Frankensteinian recession may yet rise again, this is no time for the council and management team to go wobbly by increasing employee compensation before examining why increases in employee costs are outpacing sales tax revenue and what steps — if any — need to be taken to address this reality.
In 1992, 65 percent of city sales tax revenue was needed to cover employee costs (sales tax revenue makes up approximately 70 percent of all city revenue and was chosen by the management team as the yardstick to measure employee costs). By 2011, it was 86 percent. If the council authorizes the full employee compensation package that the management team has recommended, upwards of 92 percent of sales tax revenue will be consumed by employee costs starting next year.
By way of partial explanation, the management team pointed out that workers compensation insurance jumped 40 percent last year. The council also was reminded that city employees pay nothing toward their health and dental insurance and can cover their family for $200 per month.
Still, even though rising insurance costs, the shift to a paid fire department, and reduced sales tax revenue during the recession probably are at the heart of employee costs rising faster than city revenue during the past decade, a full inquiry as to why those costs are just a hop, skip and a jump from equaling total sales tax revenue is warranted — especially because the management team admitted they were not prepared to supply a detailed answer last Tuesday.
That is why the City Council — even faced with a room full of city employees hanging on their every word — should have deferred any decision to increase employee outlays until they have a complete handle on why employee costs are consuming a larger and larger portion of available funds. Instead, the majority of the council that voted to release funds for compression raises acted rashly, emotionally and unwisely.
Before that error is compounded by authorizing additional millions in raises, the council must ensure that escalating employee costs will not consume revenue to the degree that the economic future of the city is endangered by the use of reserves that may yet be needed if a deteriorating global economy comes sweeping down Rabbit Ears Pass.
