I have been working at Sitel UK full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The employees are nice. There is open communication and sharing of ideas. It is very easy to seek a second opinion or find help.
Cons – The company's compensation system could be much better. The company does not do much to retain talent and experience.
Advice to Senior Management – None
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Sitel UK
Pros – Frontline CS staff friendly as is often the case with most of these types of jobs.
Cons – Summary of operational structure for campaign. In this case this is the best indicator of this employer.
Top management works by bullying, intimidating and harassing managers and staff. One has been known to show them their payslip's tax section to demonstrate how much they get paid. Regular dater of most of the very young girls who work on this campaign, dropping them when a newer girl joins. The current girlfriend was rapidly promoted to a position allowing convenient and regular non-shift work hours. Very close friends with the client so comfortable in this position. A nasty piece of insecure, self centred ego with no consideration for any of his team, more often found in the pub than at their desk.
The other senior manager has never worked for Amazon/LOVEFiLM before commencing their role and is clueless to the intricacies of the job. Confidential and private issues that are raised are regularly discussed with favoured staff openly. This has often caused conflict, stress and discomfort between members of staff. A very socially awkward individual who has clearly learnt his PRINCE2, Six Sigma, etc. through an online course only.
This is the style of position entrenchment which these insecure senior managers operate to ensure incompetent and dubious workplace practices continue.
Team Managers are generally all either demoralised, lazy or coasting until they can find another job. They continually fight amongst themselves for favouritism that senior management utilise for promotion. They regularly work to undermine each other's teams which makes for a very unpleasant work environment for junior staff.
Outsourcers always thrive on maximising very thin margins of profit but this Amazon outsourcer has employment practices that reflect the bottom end of this type of business. A recent new Site Director lasted less than two months before handing in their notice and wisely finding a proper company to work for.
Advice to Senior Management – Effectively separate and strengthen your site HR department so that they can properly investigate the multiple staff complaints, grievances and illegal practice issues raised (and waiting to be raised) without undue influence from site senior management.... but more realistically it is probably best to just close down the site.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Sitel UK part-time for less than a year
Pros – It seems very easy to get a job at Sitel, so it's handy for those in desperate need of work. Some good people in there, though if they've been there much over a month expect them to be in a state that puts you in mind of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Cons – The work is totally dispiriting and uninspiring, and despite their long-winded training you won't have a clue what you're doing because they don't know either. As best I could make out, the idea is to help provide an impenetrable edifice of red tape and incompetence with the general aim of keeping warranty payouts to a bare minimum.
The location I worked at required staff to log-in to and out of around 3 different systems almost simultaneously, including the phone, every time you arrive at or leave your desk. Get it wrong, lose pay. So you work hard to get it right, thus wasting precious minutes of your brutally short and infrequent breaks.
Every expense is spared. Want a coffee? Buy the swill from the machine. Want to eat? Buy junk food from the machine. Want to enjoy a game of pool in the exciting games room? That'll cost you too.
Predictably, everyone hates their jobs, especially the managers, and so morale is almost comedically low. The word "almost" is important here. Expect to deal with snide, mean spirited supervisors who revel in their power treat you with no respect whatsoever.
Advice to Senior Management – Take a tip from Undercover Boss and experience your company the way the hoi polloi do.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Sitel UK full-time for more than a year
Pros – easy type job if ur a tech strong sales was difficult
Cons – night shifts were bad grave yard shift
Advice to Senior Management – good no comments
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Sitel UK full-time for less than a year
Pros – I joined Sitel because they offer benefits that would suit my needs.
Cons – As of now, I am still on the adjustment period for night shift.
Advice to Senior Management – Please do consider the attitude of the mentors especially when they are assigned for the training.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Sitel UK full-time for more than a year
Pros – - Good career opportunities.
- Large Company.
Cons – - Lazy Management
- Very poor communication flow with management and other external sources of information.
Advice to Senior Management – Make sure all customer care agents have better acces to external information sources. there is no reason for any information to be limited to backliners. also better bonus plans would motivate customers quite alot. Giving 10 pounds extra per month for getting a 10 star review from a customer barely qualifies as a bonus.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Sitel UK full-time for more than a year
Pros – above salary as compared to other jobs
Cons – Leave credit are not easily approved
Advice to Senior Management – provide a more encouraging package that would benefits employees
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Sitel UK full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – good management and great evironment.
Cons – low salary .needs to pay high salary
Advice to Senior Management – all good
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – A lot of time off, flexibility in swapping slots with colleagues. Access to a lot of different and new computers.
Cons – Difficulty in getting vacation days approved on time, as well as difficulty in getting over-time requests through to HR. The HR department is rather opaque.
Advice to Senior Management – Make the workings of the HR department with regards to over-time requests and vacation day requests (whether paid or unpaid) more transparent and speed up the process.
I worked at Sitel UK
Pros – Lots of opportunities for movement once you have a job within the company. Decent pay compared to other similar roles elsewhere.
Cons – Employees often shifted from department to department with little or no warning. Shifts can change a lot too on short notice.

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - While the Columbus Blue Jackets were able to extend one streak, they still couldn't prevent another from continuing.
Patrick Kane came through with the deciding goal in the shootout as the Chicago Blackhawks registered their 11th consecutive victory over the Blue Jackets with a 2-1 decision at Nationwide Arena.
Kane also assisted on Johnny Oduya's regulation score, while Jonathan Toews also tallied during the shootout portion to help Chicago end a string of two straight losses following a 24-game run of earning at least one point to begin the season.
"It's a way better feeling in here when we win," said Kane. It was a good fight for us, a tight-checking game. For us to come out and get two points, it's a good confidence boost. It's good to feel a win again."
Corey Crawford came up with 29 saves before turning aside 2-of-3 Columbus skaters in the shootout.
While Columbus fell despite a 39-save effort from Sergei Bobrovsky, it still managed to notch a point for a franchise-record ninth straight contest (5-0-4). Jack Johnson accounted for the Blue Jackets' lone marker.
"I think it's more disappointing than anything else," Columbus head coach Todd Richards said of the narrow loss. "Our goaltender played so well tonight."
The Blackhawks were able to force the shootout by successfully killing off a penalty late in the third period, then getting seven saves out of Crawford in the overtime session.
But Toews put one through the 5-hole of Bobrovsky to complete the first round, and Kane converted a backhand try after Crawford's pad save on Ryan Johansen. With the game resting in the balance, Columbus' Derick Brassard then skated in on Crawford, but lost control of the puck entering the crease.
Oduya broke the scoreless stalemate with 3:15 remaining in the second period. The Chicago defenseman jumped into the zone to take a feed from Kane before beating Bobrovsky glove-side with a wrister near the left circle.
The momentum was short-lived, however. The Blackhawks' Sheldon Brookbank was called for a holding penalty 19 seconds after Oduya's goal, and it took just over a half-minute for Columbus to cash in on the resulting power play.
Following a faceoff win by Brandon Dubinsky, Brassard worked the puck back to Johnson for a one-timer that found its way past Crawford 2:23 prior to the second intermission.
Chicago controlled the action nearly the entire third period, outshooting the Jackets by a 13-3 margin in what ended up as a scoreless frame due to the work of Bobrovsky. The Columbus netminder made a pair of strong stops on Toews during the stanza, one from in close early on and another a denial of a wraparound attempt by the Chicago captain with 2:44 left in regulation.
"I thought we played hard, but I thought we started to run out of gas in the third," Richards remarked. "Throughout the game I thought they were a little more fresh than we were."
The Blue Jackets haven't topped Chicago since a 4-3 win in the Windy City on Feb. 8, 2011, having gone 0-9-2 in 11 meetings since ... Kane registered his 400th career point when assisting on Oduya's goal, which gave the blueliner 100 NHL points ... Johnson's goal was the first by either team on the power play in the four matchups this season. Columbus entered the game 0-for-11 with the man advantage in the previous three games, with Chicago going 0-for-8 ... Anisimov returned to action after a three-game absence caused by a lower-body injury, but defenseman Nikita Nikitin was held out for the Blue Jackets due to a recurring upper-body ailment ... Columbus also sent center Nick Drazenovic to AHL Springfield prior to the game ... Chicago forward Jimmy Hayes made his season debut after being recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.
LSU senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger will miss the Tigers' bowl game after suffering a knee injury that is believed to be a torn ACL and sprained MCL.
Jeff Burton has joined Michael Waltrip Racing to test and drive the No. 66 Toyota in a select number of races during the 2014 Sprint Cup Series season, the team announced on Monday.
The Cleveland Browns placed defensive end Desmond Bryant on the reserve/non-football illness list Wednesday after being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.
The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed left-handed relief pitcher Wesley Wright to a one-year contract.
Mexico City, Mexico (Sports Network) - Wednesday's game between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves has been postponed due to smoke in Mexico City Arena.
The Columbus Blue Jackets will be without their standout goaltender for at least the next month, with the club announcing Wednesday that reigning Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to be sidelined 4-to-5 weeks with a groin strain.

Legislation seen helping ease hospital doctor shortage
- Tracey Drury
- Buffalo Business First Reporter- Business First
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Hospital administrators say new legislation could go a long way to helping alleviate physician shortages plaguing Upstate hospitals, especially rural providers.
The legislation, introduced last week by Sen. Charles Schumer, is a two-pronged effort that would increase residency slots at New York hospitals and help alleviate medical school loans.
The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act would increase the number of Medicare-supported physician training slots by 15,000 over the next few years. The emphasis is on upping slots at hospitals serving rural areas, as well as those that train physicians in community health centers or outpatient departments. It also would expand a program that rewards doctors who serve rural areas by helping pay for their loans.
The physician shortage is a major threat for rural providers, says Jonathan Lawrence, president and CEO of Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York, which includes Brooks Memorial Hospital and the TLC Health Network in the Southern Tier.
"Physicians are retiring or scaling back their practices as our need for their services is increasing," he says. "As a result, hospital emergency departments are relied upon to provide care that is more efficiently and effectively provided in a doctor's office."
Schumer's legislation follows a report last month by the Healthcare Association of New York State that found existing physician shortages are expected to get worse as the pace of physician departures and retirements accelerates. The 2011 Physician Advocacy Survey found 34 percent of hospitals outside of New York City had to reduce or eliminate services in the past two years due to a lack of doctors.

Stedman Bailey's recent public announcement that he will be skipping his senior season as a football superstar at West Virginia University should have surprised nobody.
The 5-10, 195-pound redshirt junior wide receiver from Miami, Fla., really had very little to add to his amazing list of athletic achievements.
He already had earned All-America honors, shattered numerous school and Big 12 Conference records, and seems solidly prepared to succeed at the next level.
Bailey is expected to be a high pick in the 2013 National Football League draft. Hopefully, he will eventually find time to earn his college degree. That's about the only thing he really lacks as he turns pro.
For his three-year career as a starter, Bailey appeared in 39 games, caught 209 passes for 3,323 yards, and scored 41 touchdowns. No WVU receiver ever tallied more than that number.
Senior Tavon Austin remains WVU's all-time career leader in both pass receptions (286) and yardage (3,404) as a full four-year contributor.
Bailey, who is No. 1 in most receiving TDs in a season (25), also finished with a school record in 100-yard receiving games with 14 — one more than Austin had.
A finalist for the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, Bailey ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring per game and No. 3 in receiving yards per game.
Going into WVU's 38-14 upset defeat by Syracuse in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, he also ranked fourth in receptions per game (8.8), and No. 30 nationally in all-purpose yardage (135.8) per game.
He had a knack for getting big yards after making a catch. Bailey covered 29 and 32 yards, scoring the only WVU touchdowns in the bowl contest.
He was named to the first team All-America by CBS Sports and was a second-team All-America selection by Walter Camp Football Foundation and FoxSports.com.
Bailey made the All-Big 12 Conference first team at wide receiver. He also was honored on all-conference teams by the coaches, The Associated Press, ESPN.com, and CBSSports.com.
His 25 touchdowns this year on receptions tied Bailey for No. 2 all-time in FBS history. The record is 27 by Tony Edwards of Louisiana Tech, set in 1998.
Bailey now shares second place at 25 with Randy Moss of Marshall (1997).
He ranks near the top in several different situations statistically. But Bailey will be remembered most as quarterback Geno Smith's No. 1 receiver.
They were teammates their entire time at Miramar High School in Miami as well as his three active years at West Virginia University.
How could anyone not remember him?

Coaches name Sims Big 12 Newcomer of the Year
West Virginia University senior running back Charles Sims, who transferred in from Houston to play his senior season, made the most of it as he was named first-team, All-Big 12.
HERTZEL COLUMN: Defense needs to be WVU's No. 1 priority
When Dana Holgorsen took over as West Virginia's football coach, he came carrying the credentials of an offensive innovator and with an unbroken history of offensive success, the assumption being that it would carry over from Texas Tech, Houston and Oklahoma State to WVU.
Gonzaga avoids upset at WVU
For most of Tuesday night's battle at the Coliseum, West Virginia did a number on Gonzaga star Kevin Pangos, and because of that and some dazzling first-half shooting by Eron Harris and second-half heroics of Terry Henderson, the Mountaineers seemed on their way to an upset of the nation's No. 20 team.

HERTZEL COLUMN- Gonzaga brings excitement to WVU Coliseum
Gonzaga comes to the Coliseum today to face West Virginia in a 9 p.m. game televised nationally on ESPN2 and, like it or not, it is Gonzaga and not the Mountaineers that has the star power to make this an attractive national game.
FURFARI COLUMN- IMG could still be seen as controversial
West Virginia University is in its first year of partnership with IMG College for at least partial media rights.

Once upon a time, playing a LGBT character on screen was career suicide. Today, protraying a LGBT character can lead to an Oscar win. Here is a look back at some of the most famous LGBT roles on the big and small screen.
In 1993, Will Smith played the role of Paul in Six Degrees of Separation, based on the true-life story of David Hampton, an openly gay con man who managed to convince many people he was the son of Sidney Poitier.

PONDA: Angered over the haphazard work carried out by the tourism department at the Farmagudi monument built in honour of the Maratha king Shivaji, followers of the historical figure have alleged that the natural beauty of the monument has been ruined.
Department staff on Friday had conducted a cleanliness drive at the monument, during which they are believed to have hacked plants from their roots. They are also believed to have burnt wild grass on the natural lawn inside the monument thereby burning some of the plants.

Framed Bulgarian Const Court Candidate Retracts Nomination
Prosecutor Galya Gugusheva has withdrawn her candidacy to become a member of Bulgaria's Constitutional Court following a series of allegations of past abuse of power.
This was revealed by rightist Union of Democratic Forces chair Emil Kabaivanov Tuesday, after the UDF and ruling center-right GERB party decided to withdraw support for Gugusheva.
Gugusheva's nomination was approved by UDF leadership and tabled by non-affiliated MPs, as UDF MPs refused to support the nomination, which led to them being dismissed.
Tuesday UDF and GERB reached an agreement for UDF to work on presenting a new candidacy, but the procedure is not expected to start before the New Year.
UDF chair Kabaivanov stated that the party will propose changing the rules for electing constitutional judges from the Parliament's quota to avoid future such problems.
"Anyone can be defamed in the way Gugusheva was. This means playing from behind the curtains, and is not fair political dealing," said the rightist leader.
Gugusheva is the second failed Constitutional Court nominee by Parliament, after the fiasco with judge Veneta Markovska, whose election by Parliament was not respected by Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev, due to allegations of dealing in influence that she was not able to dispel.

Good Points
Excellent bass reproduction, crisp and clear trebble.
Bad Points
Positioning takes a long time to get perfect, mid-range can be lacking at times.
General Comments
I bought these Mission 702e speakers from richersounds for £100 back in October of last year and have been very pleased with them since. The bass reproduction is very sharp and accurate, going as deep as you like! The treble is also clear and sharp. The mid-range can be a bit lacking with certain audio sources, but nothing to complain about. Overall, these speakers are well worth the money, and work well with many amps.

From the day I turn eighteen, I'm giving myself two years to get my own apartment. I will not be twenty years old living with my parents. Sorry, Not I.
Life is unfair. You put someone first who puts you second. You study your ass off for a final only to get a C. You give 110% to someone in a relationship who only gives 40%. You're there for a best friend at 3:00am and the next day they don't pick up their phone. It seems like you're giving everyone everything and they're just walking away with it.

Layering 101
This Month's Gear Guru Question:
by Backcountry BobQ.
I use an Arc'Teryx Sindwinder SV for touring and resort riding. It is significantly thinner than my previous outer layer (The North Face Mountain Guide) so I am having trouble finding a layering system that will work for me. I tend to get warm quickly. If you could give me some options for warmer and cooler days I'd appreciate it.
I can appreciate your predicament as I, too, tend to get warm very quickly. I also use a thin Gore-Tex shell similar to your Sidewinder for riding. What I have found works well for me is different layering for different temps and uses.
For touring, when I'm on the move most of the time, I wear a lightweight base layer with a Marmot DriClime Windshirt over that. I keep my shell in my pack until I'm ready to rip.
If it's really cold or stormy, I layer my shell over the top; the windshirt adds just enough warmth, but also breathes very well so I don't overheat. I cannot overstate the versatility of this one amazing piece of gear. I use it year round, but for winter backcountry travel it rules. Its outer nylon shell takes the bite out of a cold wind, while it's thin microfleece liner regulates your temperature evenly and effectively. You can hike all day in it.
For colder days or resort days, it gets a little trickier because even temperature regulation is so much harder to achieve. The key is having your layers work together, moving moisture towards the outer shell and away from your body.
I use a thin base layer with either a power stretch top or lightweight fleece (100 weight) over it. Patagonia's R system (R .5 and R 1) is excellent. If it's really, really cold I'll put my DriClime Windshirt over the fleece under my shell or use a 200 weight fleece.
I would stay away from layering with WindStopper type fleeces as they inhibit moisture transport, making you feel clammy. Sometimes you just have to vent on the way down (with core vents or pit zips) or up (riding the chair). The newer soft shell outerwear has definitely caught my attention as it seems to be a good solution for hot folks like us. Good luck, and thanks for your question!

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.

Leicester Tigers replacement Owen Williams kicked a late penalty for the visitors to earn them a losing bonus point.
Ulster kicked off their Heineken Cup with a 22-16 Pool 5 victory over Leicester Tigers ar Ravenhill on Friday night. Leicester Tigers replacement Owen Williams kicked a late penalty for the visitors to earn them a losing bonus point. Exeter Chiefs might have just got one over local rivals Gloucester Rugby in their own back yard, but head coach Rob Baxter insists there is plenty more to come from his side this Aviva Premiership season. Aussie flank Ben White says Exeter Chiefs cannot wait to get stuck into Leicester Tigers in their latest Premiership encounter this Sunday. Buoyed by back-to-back league wins over London Wasps and London Irish, the Chiefs are now busy preparing themselves for the visit of the defending champions to Sandy Park. Newcastle Falcons will be keen to prove they are worthy when they get the 2013/14 Premiership season underway against Bath at Kingston Park tonight. While the opening round has a number of intriguing fixtures – London Irish v Saracens, Gloucester v Sale Sharks, Northampton Saints v Exeter Chiefs, London Wasps v Harlequins and Leicester Tigers v Worcester Warriors – it is the Falcons that will hog most of the early limelight. Dylan Hartley will miss out on this year's British and Irish Lions tour of Australia. The Northampton Saints captain was sent off yesterday during the Aviva Premiership Final against Leicester Tigers at Twickenham. The culmination of many English players' dream is to play at Twickenham and both Leicester and Northampton will be hoping to put on a spectacle in the Premiership final at HQ on Saturday. This is Saracens fourth successive Premiership semifinal and their fifth overall, however they have lost their last three semifinal encounters in all competitions. Guy Mercer is under no illusions about the importance of Bath's final match of the season, and insists the players are ready to end their Premiership season on a high. Bath second row Dominic Day admits that it is win at all costs when they welcome West Country rivals Gloucester to the Rec on Friday. Day and co will be itching to return to winning ways after their run of six straight victories in all competitions came to an end with their narrow 23-25 defeat at Northampton Saints. Undefeated Harlequins and Clermont can book European Cup quarterfinals this weekend with Toulon also close to securing their spot in the last eight. English champions Harlequins, bidding to make the knock-out stages for just the fifth time, already have 19 points from four Pool Three wins and on Saturday tackle Connacht where just a losing bonus point will be enough to see them through. Two-time defending European Cup champions Leinster host Clermont in the fourth round of the competition this weekend in the knowledge that they will have to dig deep for a "vital" bonus-point victory. Table-topping Harlequins will look to return to winning ways when they welcome Worcester Warriors to Twickenham Stoop in the opening Round 10 fixture on Friday. It will be a bottom-of-the-table clash when Sale Sharks take on London Irish to kick off the Premiership action on Friday. After two emphatic European victories Worcestor Warriors will be keen to give their home crowd something to cheer about in the Premiership against Sale Sharks on Friday. Wing Mark Cueto admits it is easy for Sale Sharks to get bogged down with the negatives of their start to the Premiership season, but he insists only a positive frame of mind will bring a change of fortune. It is the fifth round of Premiership action this weekend and it sees Saracens make the trip across London to Harlequins to face the reigning champions at The Stoop. The second round of the 2012/2013 season's Aviva Premiership was completed this weekend. In the first match of the weekend London Welsh were comprehensively beaten by Harlequins, who scored six tries to none. In the last game, which was played on Sunday, Northampton Saints managed to scrape through against a brave Exeter Chiefs outfit. The second round of Aviva Premiership games take places this weekend and while it may only be Round Two, Saracens have laid down an early marker in the 2012/13 Premiership season. The regular rugby season officially kicks off in the UK and Ireland in just over two weeks time when the Aviva Premiership and RaboDirect Pro12 league games start. However, the clubs have been busy with their pre-season preparations and a number of friendly matches were played this past weekend. Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw was the proud man who was able to hoist the Aviva Premiership trophy following Harlequins victory over Leicester in the final not long completed at Twickenham. England captain Robshaw played a big part in the win and was good value for the super try he scored. |

Nigeria grants bail to Russian arms smuggling suspects
- Tweet
- Share this
LAGOS (Reuters) - Fifteen Russian sailors charged with illegally bringing weapons into Nigeria last year were granted bail on Monday and released until a hearing in early April, a Lagos court ruled.
Nigerian authorities intercepted a ship and arrested its Russian crew on October 23 after they found several guns and around 8,500 rounds of ammunition aboard.
The Russian sailors have pleaded not guilty and the Moran Security Group, the Russian company that owns the confiscated vessel, has said the ship had permission to carry arms, calling the accusations "groundless".
"I'm glad that everybody - the court, the prosecution - they saw the need that the accused persons be granted bail. They've been in detention for months," defense lawyer Chukwuwike Okafor told Reuters after the hearing.
He said that, under the terms of the $500,000 bail, the sailors were not allowed to leave Nigeria and were under the care of the Russian ambassador, who must ensure they return for the hearing in April.
Russia's Foreign Ministry, which has spoken out strongly against the charges, on Monday welcomed the ruling, calling it "the first positive turn in developments surrounding the Russian sailors", according to the RIA news agency.
It said Nigeria's Foreign Minister, Olugbenga Ashiru, had promised his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov that the sailors would be given "a chance to return to their homeland" so as not to upset ties with Moscow.
Arms smuggling to and through Nigeria is rife. Demand for weapons is great because of an Islamist rebellion in the north, armed robbery and kidnapping by gangs in the south and oil theft and piracy in the southeast.
The country is also sometimes used as a conduit for shipping arms to other conflict-ridden parts of West Africa.
In 2010, a consignment of rocket launchers, grenades and other explosives from Iran was seized in Lagos, causing a diplomatic row between Nigeria and Iran. It also strained ties between Iran and Senegal, which accused Iranian security forces of trying to supply weapons to its Casamance rebels.

Testing something.
Yup, tested already

posted a message on 10-15 minutes is still a very decent amount of time for those buffs.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
But in the end, it will have to be compared with other Legendary gloves in order to determine how high that number must be. If another glove gives some insane survivability (like the new Ice Climbers), then the numbers would probably have to be higher. An item is only as viable as its relative power compared to the alternatives.
Crushing Blow adds nothing to the game from my pov. Both in D2 and D3 its an extremely boring stat, gameplay wise. With so many interesting ideas for combat, I find it weird they chose this particular combat trait to bring back. Maybe for nostalgia's sake <_ -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Oh I know they said there's no plans to increase. I mean how they never even discussed the fact that the new Legendaries, the removal of the AH and BoA (paired with 2 other character slots) have a very clear impact and pretty much demand a bigger stash size.Quote from shaggyQuote from Zero(pS)It's so weird the current devs haven't even mentioned anything related to that problem.
I *swear* they said they have no plans to increase stash space.... which flies directly in the face of BoA items and the need that creates to hold on to things so that you can "try out builds."
That's a pretty good idea. I like it.Quote from makaThey could make further stashes require some material gathering; that way, only people that really want it would unlock them, and not the entire however many millions that will be playing the game.

Really, anybody could see that coming.Quote from JaetchThis just in: numerous beta testers are torn between salvaging new gear and stashing them for future build innovations.
Not me, though, I give everything I don't use to the blacksmith, though I'm kinda regretting it now that I do want to create new combinations.
WTB more stash space not called character mules.
It's so weird the current devs haven't even mentioned anything related to that problem. If they have overlooked such a simple problem, I can't help but think they are not even taking into account game longevity with how fast people are gearing up. Maybe they think paragon farming is good enough. -
posted a message on People complaining about everything... to me that's a clearly problematic type of behaviour.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Sometimes the same user complaining about the same issue no matter what direction the developers take. AH and excessive trading? Complains and claims the game isn't rewarding, plays self found only. Devs make the best items BoA? Complains that it's "too much".
/Insert skill-tree/online-only/pvp/ladder problem into the same equation
There's a couple of these right here in our forums. Complaining just for the sake of it. It's a very clear behavioural issue. -
posted a message on They've done a dozen things right. From an artistic and technical standpoint Diablo 3 is a marvel of modern gaming, any serious game developer will tell you that.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
From a gameplay perspective, obviously people are going to disagree about what aspects are the core of the franchise, and what the developers should be focusing on.
And for any real dedicated fans, yes, there will ALWAYS be something we don't like. I personally have a couple grudges both against D3V and against some RoS decisions so far.
And it's almost like.... we have a big percentage of people who can only see things from their own perspective and never want to even try to understand the other side... and they feel like the proper way to express their "opinion' publicly is by behaving (mentally) like 5 year old kids!Quote from makaYou're right, it's almost like....we have different people with different opinions. So weird......
Nah never mind, that's a rare occurence. We almost never see that in online forums (or the internet in general).
No wonder the world has so many problems... when so many people think that sort of attitude is "just fine", normal even, and each person is entitled to behave however they want with zero empathy towards others. - 12/3/2013 9:28:47 AM posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion

I'm sure they're glad to have such a choice.Quote from OfPestilence3. Once you Express Hostility, that person has the choice to exit game obviously, or take you on. Once the first hit goes, the shield will activate allowing you to run or attack.
No... just, no.... because of.... no...4. If you do end up killing a player, the option to take 1 or more of their items should be possible, even if that item is in the stash! But only if the player is killed by the opponent who engaged the fight.

T-Mobile Jump, Nokia Lumia 1020, HTC One, Samsung tablets (MobileTechRoundup show #299)
T-Mobile keeps pushing the US wireless carrier strategy, Nokia announces the best camera on a phone ever, and HTC continues to find new fans with the HTC One.
It seems everyone in business has a smartphone today to keep connected to the office and enjoy their time away from the office. Matthew Miller provides you with news, commentary and in-depth reviews of the latest in mobile phones sporting iOS, Android, Wi
Matthew Miller started using a Pilot 1000 in 1997 and has been writing news, reviews, and opinion pieces ever since.
T-Mobile keeps pushing the US wireless carrier strategy, Nokia announces the best camera on a phone ever, and HTC continues to find new fans with the HTC One.
We are seeing more and more about the Moto X appear, and a new Rogers video shows the device with a release date in August.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the best camera in a phone ever released and it will be available soon on AT&T. Are consumers seeking even better photography and willing to shell out the money to go to a Windows Phone device?
There are many great smartphones and for some of us it is tough to stick with one for two years. T-Mobile is helping us roll through devices with a new program.
BlackBerry is having a tough time getting BB10 devices into the hands of US consumers with fierce competition from iOS and Android smartphone offerings.
It's nearly impossible for anything to remain secret today, and as we approach the big Nokia Lumia event, even more details of the device have appeared.
HTC and Samsung both rolled out Google Edition devices, but after spending a few days with the HTC One I am even more convinced that the best HTC One has Sense 5 as designed and optimized by HTC.
The HTC One is the best smartphone I have ever used and with this new major update HTC shows they are committed to keeping it that way.
There is a lot of anticipation for Nokia new Lumia devices with the Smart Camera app, but you can find the same functionality and much more in the current HTC One smartphone as well.
Nokia will reveal all the details for its new 41-megapixel Lumia Windows Phone on July 11, but leaks and Nokia's own revelations have shown much of what we can expect.

Reader Post As Received: There are so many things I would want you to say to my mom, but just tell her I love her and pray she is at peace. She was hit by a car 3 years ago this March.
I miss her more than I could ever say. She was a young mom, and at times more like my sister or best friend, but always my mom. You seem to be such a strong beautiful soul, I try to live each day like you do, especially after losing my mom so suddenly, but I need reminders..those little whispers that show up saying chin up, do better today. Thank you for your "whisper". JD
Thank you JD we are never ready for the loss of those we love especially at a young age. Sending you prayers.

Play a character you would actually want to play rather than what might be "needed" at the time. There is nothing more frustrating than leveling a new toon and then realizing you don't necessarily enjoy what is required to play it. Remember, it's you purchased the game and it's ultimately your money every month.
Worry about number crunching after level 60. Honestly, levels go by so quickly from questing now that fine tuning and tweaking your character is next to pointless unless you plan to do PvP in a particular level bracket. All your equipment will be replaced over and over again until it's time for the end game (post level 80).
Find mods and add-ons that work with your play style. Ask yourself some questions - do you go on more raids, do you quest by yourself frequently, do you like a high level of organization, do you like customized interfaces? Many problems and issues have already been addressed by add-on developers to help you enjoy your game time a bit more.
Hardcore raiding works for some, a more casual approach is better for others. It's all about the amount of effort you would like to put forth in developing your character(s). There is no wrong way to go about it - whatever works for you is fine.
Figure out what kind of player you are by the amount of time you have to spend playing World of Warcraft. Knowing what style suits you will be helpful in choosing what circles of people you play with. Once you find folks who share a similar viewpoint and play style, you'll find your experience far more enjoyable.
Improve your overall playing experience by immersing yourself in World of Warcraft lore. There are many sites out there who publish bios, plotlines, and other extraneous information.
Contrary to popular belief, guilds are not mandatory in World of Warcraft. Far from it - a person could occupy themselves with solo-oriented content for years on end. Joining a guild is a personal choice which should reflect on the sort of play style you have and/or would like to have. Consider your own motives first, then find a guild that matches them closely.

Trying to enforce smoke ban would be playing with fire
Last updated at 13:52, Thursday, 15 March 2012
On the face of it, this sounds like a sensible scheme.
Ban smoking in children's play parks because it sets a bad example to our youngsters.
Allerdale council says it would be happy to introduce the new rules in places such as Workington, Maryport, Cockermouth, Keswick, Wigton and Aspatria.
But only if the public agreed.
Carni McCarron-Holmes, the councillor responsible for health in the borough, said: "The idea is that a voluntary ban will be introduced into play areas to encourage parents not to smoke in front of their children or other children.
"Children learn their behaviour from adults and so it's essential that in our communities tobacco use is not seen as part of everyday life."
Earlier this week the council held a one-hour survey, asking the public if they thought such a ban was a good idea.
But getting some public support doesn't make it a good or workable scheme.
And making it a voluntary scheme, doesn't make it any sort of rule or regulation at all. It completely unenforceable.
I can't see how not seeing mummy or daddy smoke at the park when they do at home is going to influence a child.
And a youngster whose parents don't smoke, but who sees someone puffing at a park isn't going to suddenly think it is a great idea either.
I can't see the harm in it. I'd rather have a mum or dad smoke at a park or out of doors than back in the house where it is more likely to affect their child's health.
Passive smoking is a danger in a confined area, where the smoke remains concentrated and can't evaporate.
Non-smokers have no choice but to breathe it in.
In play areas, the smoke naturally drifts away and disappears into the wide blue yonder. Usually in Cumbria, there is a gentle breeze wafting through the palm trees and this carries the smoke away.
It's true that children are massively influenced by their parents and that if they see them doing something such as drinking, smoking using their shirt sleeve to wipe their nose...they will copy.
But if they see their parents smoking at home, in the car, out for a walk, or on holiday, how will not seeing them smoke at the playground influence them?
Carlisle City Council chiefs have already said they believe it would be difficult to enforce a ban in parks.
Which is the biggest block to any rules for out-of-doors.
There are already laws and byelaws about dropping litter and clearing up dog poo which are ignored on a daily basis.
Our councils seem powerless to enforce these regulations as we pick our way past poo and through the plastic bottles and papers on our way to the swings and slides, or as we stroll through a park, or wander along a riverside.
Of course, Allerdale may well be thinking of employing a new team of rangers or 'parkies' to uphold the smoking ban.
This would be the only way it would have any effect.
And would they be able to tell people to pick up litter and the mess left by their dog as well?
And can the council afford to employ the new staff?

2.5 days & 2 nights in Tokyo

2.5 days & 2 nights in Tokyo
Hi everyone,I'm doing my first trip to Japan and quite excited. I'm there for work around Fuji but then I have Monday - Wednesday in Tokyo in a couple of weeks (October).
I need some advice on some fantastic hostels, which area is best to stay, and what I MUST see in those two and a half days/two nights that I'm there. I fly out of Narita to Beijing on the Wednesday afternoon.
Preferably hostels which are close to the key areas/convenient, are very clean and safe, and any that have organised tours of the town which you can tag along to.
Appreciate any advice!
Edited by: leeseylou7
Preferably hostels which are close to the key areas/convenient,Unless you are looking specifically for places outside of Tokyo, most likely anything you find by searching for "hostel + Tokyo" will be central, i.e. somewhere around the Yamanote line circle plus minus 2 km or so. Tokyo consists of several "centers" which are usually visited, so wherever you are staying you will need to take public transport to get to the other sites/centers anyway at some point. Most hostels are located in the Asakusa area, which is a rather quiet part of Tokyo. You might want to search for a hostel that is not too far from a train/subway station.
If you want to go out in the evening and stay up late, you probably want to look into another area as public transport stops around midnight taxis can be expensive. Shinjuku, Shibuya and Roppongi are the most famous nightlife centers, but accommodation tends to be more expensive in these areas. Your best bet of finding budget accommodation here would be around Shinjuku, e.g. Ace Inn or the Yoyogi YH (either a long walk from the interesting part of Shinjuku).
are very clean and safe,
This should not be an issue in Japan.
and any that have organised tours of the town which you can tag along to.
Tours or no tours is a personal thing (I am not fond of tours), however IMO for Tokyo tours make less sense than elsewhere as there are no classical sights to see and as public transport is cheap and quick. The best thing is just walking around looking at people, architecture, shops,...
If you enjoy tours, IMO more useful than a classical sightseeing (bus) tour could be to find a local to show you around, for instance via Tokyo Free Guide or some Japan forums.
A lot depends on your interests.For some cheaper places to stay, you might look at
Many cheaper places are in Taito-ku, and everything is connected by subway so it is easy to get around.
And if you have never stayed in one before, I recommend you spend at least a night in a Japanese Inn or ryokan. There are some inexpensive ones in Tokyo, like the Kimi, the Tama, the Taito and the Tokyo Ryokan.
The newest item is the Sky Tree, which offers a great view (if the weather cooperates, but October is often good), and while not cheap you won't find anything else like it. You can then skip other places like Tokyo Tower. But if you want a good free view, try the Metro Gov't Bldg in Shinjuku or Roppongi Hills.
Odaiba at night is a great place to see, as well as Love Hotel Hill in Dogenzaka. The most famous temple is in Asakusa, Sensoji. You can look at
for other ideas.
You can also spend half a day and see Kamakura; it has some of Japan's best traditional cultural sites like the Great Buddha.
I'm thinking of doing the Fuji summit, as I'll be over in Fuji on the weekend.
Which weekend?
You are now way outside the official climbing season (ended August 31), so climbing to the summit can be quite dangerous unless you are an experienced mountain climber and have the relevant equipment. Snow came quite early to Mt Fuji this year (Sept 11). For normal tourists you would be recommended not to attempt it.
Climbing Mt Fuji
Have had a read of those links and also a few other sites, looks true - too dangerous to go which is a shame, as I'm due back in Japan again next year - at the same time! I much prefer a quiet mountain, hence I did Everest BC and Gokyo last December - cold but empty trails. The dates I was looking at were 15 - 16 October, but unless I can find a guide or at least one hut open, I will pass and stay in Tokyo.

Judge rules for bullet train backers, allows work to go forward
- Eric Young
California high-speed rail officials may continue environmental studies on a large section of the planned bullet train route, following a judge's ruling.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny denied efforts by bullet train opponents to stop environmental studies on a proposed route between San Francisco and the Central Valley.
High-speed train critics wanted an immediate stop to environmental studies until questions surrounding a proposed Gilroy-to-San Jose track alignment are cleared up as well as issues the Union Pacific railroad raised about allowing its right of way to be used by the bullet train.
Instead, the judge ordered bullet train opponents and the high-speed rail authority to present briefs and oral arguments Oct. 9 on the Gilroy-to-San Jose section and the Union Pacific issue.
Meanwhile environmental studies can proceed.
Also, the state's application for federal stimulus funding for the high-speed rail project will proceed.
The Superior Court ruling stems from an ongoing legal battle that had the potential to delay the $45 billion high-speed rail proposal. Last month, Kenny ruled that portions of an environmental review of the project should be rewritten.
High-speed rail critics said the ruling would force the California High-Speed Rail Authority to reconsider a bullet train route that runs through the East Bay, not the Peninsula, as currently envisioned. The rail authority, however, said last month's ruling validates most of the environmental work already done and that it planned to push ahead with design and planning.
The main parties in the lawsuit against the high-speed rail authority are the cities of Menlo Park and Atherton and a group of nonprofit transportation and planning groups. The cities and transportation and planning groups sought to invalidate the environmental study — and the rail alignment through Santa Clara County's Pacheco Pass — for the state's bullet train.
