The jury on Big Bang is still out, at least as far as arguably the most important group of all is concerned. Institutional investors are watching developments in London's newly liberalized markets like hawks, but are holding back judgement on whether they like what they see.
During the three years of preparation prior to Big Bang on Oct. 27, banks and investment houses were so involved in acquiring securities firms, recruiting personnel and installing new high-tech dealing rooms, that little consideration was given to the client.Now, though, the big fund managers have moved to center stage, for it is they who will largely determine the winners and losers.
"Great efforts are being made by all the investment banks to convince us they are the best" said a spokesman at Scottish Widows' Fund & Life Assurance, one of the top U.K. pension groups.
But the big institutions, which control billions of pounds worth of funds, will not be easily wooed. While they are already enjoying very considerable reductions in commissions, they are not whole heartedly in favor of every development.
In particular, institutional investors and corporate customers are concerned about conflicts of interest within the new-style securities firms where market-making, stockbroking, research, corporate finance, fund management and commercial banking functions all take place under one roof. Can a client be certain that investment advice is unbiased? Will a market-maker with a large position be able to resist the temptation to ask brokers to place stock with their clients?
"We will be watching very closely for possible conflicts of interest and how they are resolved," says Trevor Pullen, head of U.K. equities trading at Prudential Corp., Britain's largest institutional investor with funds under its management of more than 21.5 billion ($30 billion). He warns that if Prudential has the slightest suspicion that its fund managers are not being quoted the best price, or that there are cracks in the so-called Chinese walls between different departments in an investment house, "we will scream blue murder."
Big Bang began more as a damp squib last week when the Stock Exchange's computerized news information network, Topic, broke down just before electronic share dealings were about to start for the first time. Topic is the carrier for the newly-installed Stock Exchange Automated Quotation system, and when screens went dead, dealers had to revert to old-fashioned face-to-face business on the floor of the exchange or gather price information over the phone.
Until everything is up and running properly, fund managers admit it is difficult to judge the quality of the service they are getting. But they were not happy last week with the way some market-makers, who are committed to the prices they display on their screens, were only quoting for nominal amounts of stock, and requesting to be telephoned for bigger orders "They are defeating the object of SEAQ" complained David Malcolm, chief investment manager at Royal Insurance, one of Britain's top insurance companies with an investment portfolio of around 9 billion.
Those firms which don't start to quote prices on SEAQ for larger amounts ''will rapidly lose our business," he warned. It is the ability to undertake big block trades in U.K. equities, which should be one of the key benefits of deregulation for institutional investors.
Now that most stock exchange firms are subsidiaries of major international groups with strong capital bases, they can afford to handle much larger orders.
"If they don't, London will lose its position in the world marketplace," Mr. Malcolm said.
He is also calling for an unbundling of commissions. Although fees charged by securities firms fell sharply last week as minimum fixed commissions were abolished, Mr. Malcolm would like to see a breakdown of fees. At the moment, commissions are charged only on transactions, with research undertaken for free. Some clients would like to see the fee structure revised with, for example, commissions relating to an order cut further, and analysts' reports charged for, giving the client greater freedom of choice.
Already, the cost of dealing has dropped dramatically, and in some cases fund managers are doing business directly with market-makers, so avoiding brokers' fees altogether.
Commissions are less than half the level they were prior to Big Bang, with brokers charging around 0.2 percent on an average sized deal.
Every aspect of deregulation will scrutinized very carefully by the big fund managers and corporate clients over the coming weeks and months.
"We expect increased liquidity, lower costs and better research," Brian Garraway, deputy chairman of the U.K. conglomerate B.A.T. Industries, told the Association of Corporate Treasurers.
The level of commission which the big fund managers are prepared to pay will be very dependent on the quality of service not only in terms of how a transaction is executed but also in terms of research and advice received, says Mr. Pullen.
Many of the big institutions have also strengthened their own in-house research departments, improved computer systems and, in some cases, installed their own dealing rooms for the first time in order to take full advantage of the new markets.
"We recognize the investment that we must make to gain full benefit from the changes in market practice," Mr. Garraway noted.
It will be a while before the final verdict on Big Bang is known. But if institutional investors aren't happy with the way things are going, the highly paid men and women in the City will soon feel the shock waves.

"It'll be interesting," he said. "I think that they're so far off in terms of how they want to do the profit margins, the split there with the revenue sharing and all that. I believe that they won't meet the deadline by March 3rd. Now, I could be completely off but at the same time I do believe we'll get a deal done hopefully before next season.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you on the team!
Techies obsessing over UGA again.
You guys are bi-polar.
J. Winston got same type of pre-trial diversion in Florida. This is allowed by state law in GA and FL.
Entry is based on meeting certain requirements.
Talk to a lawyer, a person associated with the court system, and/or a politician concerning the law.
The University has no control in this matter.
Has more of a Safety type size. I guess they plan on significant growth.
welcome to uga , young man , help us win a nationasl championship please i am getting old , and i dont have many yrs left so if you can win them alll in 2014 or 2015 thanks .
Ramik Wilson also was a 3-star recruit. Last season was 1st team All-SEC and led the SEC in tackles and is being talked about as possibly the best defensive player in the SEC this season. Rack up the defense!!
Judge Ethelyn Simpson presided over the arraignment, during which she informed each athlete that if he completes a pre-trial diversion program, the charges will be dismissed. Matthews, Taylor, DeLoach and LeMay will not be placed on probation, but will be supervised throughout the program. The four football players met with the probation officer following theirarraignment.
Thank God or the Pee test would kill their careers at UGa or whatever school they end up at.
Another slap on the wrist and once again giving special treatment to criminals. Our judicial system has many problems and turning criminal back out on the street without having to feel the consequences of their actions is a huge one.
A future dismissal or a dgd?
Great athletes out of the Metro Miami area no doubt. Mario Cristobal working his home grounds for Nick and Bama. Many of these kids looking to get out of the area. Just saying.
I still don't understanding committing before ever seeing the school in person. Best of luck but the coaches will keep coming at him for a long time.
Another story how recruiting is often about getting there "firstest with the mostest". Hope he continues to shutdown the late comers. It's rare.
Alec Ogletree was 6' 3" and 210 in HS according to his recruiting profile and we know how he turned out @ ILB. If Pruitt thinks he is an ILB I think I will take his word for it.
May have to play Safety.....TIME FOR CMR TO WIN A NC!!!!
6'2" and 200 lbs......and he is projected as an inside linebacker. Better gain 40 to 50 lbs. in a hurry then.
He committed to a school he has never seen? Don't print the Programs yet. Good luck to the young man, he should try to smile when not playing LB, looks pretty tough.
He's taking his talents FROM South Beach. Sorry couldn't resist.
If he can run and learn the play book, he might be a plug and play safety.
Congratulations on a great decision. Welcome to Athens.
hopefully the young man will have as much good timing on the field.....as he does off it
This is law. Not special treatment. And they will be subject to pee test at probation officers discretion. Fail and go to jail.
@POAD2014 Jerrard Tarrant was charged with rape in 2008 and the charges were dropped. And you were saying? Hypocrite.
Volumes upon volumes could be written about things you "don't understanding"!!!!
@POAD2014 Somebody pressured him into committing and he did. He will definitely be a kid that the UGA coaches will have to babysit if they decide they want to keep him.
@thebucket if he doesn't he'll probably be a good safety. You never know if they have a growth spurt left. Just look at Ray Drew. Hopefully he just grows into it by then and we don't have to move him around all over the place
@thebucket Well bucket you just answered the thought that was bouncing around in my head after reading the article "is he big enough/will he be able to grow into an ILB ?"
I believe Alec Ogletree was recruited as a defensive back at that size out of high school. And 6'3" and 210 is a bit different and bigger in high school than 6'2" and 200.
@RandyHall safety might happen....not going to happen with NC.:(
How often do you see a college linebacker at 240-250? Usually it's around 220-230. Very hard to get that big in college until you start filling out as an adult.
@Snagglepuss Not by you that is for sure.
Bob, you got some imaginary, negative, background info on the kid just because he has committed to UGA?
Why babysit Bob?
Prejudging another kid?
Yep!!! one inch and 20bs.
You are correct, recruited at Safety where he was All-State and a Super 11 selection.
All four of Florida's ILB last year weighted between 230 and 239. And none of them came to Florida less than 215. I seriously doubt that a 200 lb. recruit will end up playing inside linebacker in college.
On Alabama's 2013 roster, 9 LBs weighted between 240 and 265 lbs. Nine. And five of those were over 250 lbs. And some of them were outside LBs. But, as many of us think, they feed their LBs a little differently at Bammer than most college teams.
@Contractor1 Bingo. This isn't the NFL. Plus, with offenses becoming more and more pass heavy, the ability to run is becoming more important than the ability to take on guards.
Brandon Spikes, Rolando McClain, and Manti T'eo are more the exception than the rule.
Complain to your politicians if you don't like the laws.
@JMcKnight Ever heard of first time offenders? How about mercy? Well?
@JMcKnight Do you know that charges weren't dropped because he was a football player? No.
That was pretty mild POAD and I appreciate your cutting me some slack although at times I feel unworthy!!!
Just remember, I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Contractor1 Ogletree did play safety one year because they couldn't keep him off the field. But he, like a lot of other linebackers, played in the middle in the 220's. That's not a whole lot of weight for a young man to gain if he is eating and working out.
@TampGator1 He still has more than a year to grow before he actually step on the field in college. It is possible to grow an inch and 15 pounds. You never know if they have a growth spurt left as well.
Well our outside linebackers are also considered defensive ends at most schools. Look at Adrian Hubbard, 6'6 - 252. He is a defensive end with a linebacker tag solely because of our scheme.
@DawginCO check again it is not first offender or they would have said so i think. First offender has a lot of requirements not just community service. Diversion is different than 1st offender. 1st offenders are typically on probation, pee in the cup and have to pay some money.Georgia First Offender Act and Treatment of a 1st Offense
February 12, 2011
Under Georgia Law, a first time offender can enter a guilty plea under the First Offender Act. This is not a 'Get Out of Jail Free Card', but it may help with future opportunities and criminal record.
Matthews spoke to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution immediately after the arraignment, and said he had been notified of the program option before his court date and has nearly completed his community service requirement. The players were accompanied by Bryant Gantt, a program coordinator at UGA who helps advise student-athletes.
@POAD2014 @DawginCO So how long should they be thrown in jail for in your opinion? It's a non-violent offense that didn't violate or hurt another person's rights in any way. What should their punishment be for such a heinous crime? You sound like an idiot. Children think in terms of black and white the way people like you do. Get out of your little bubble you live in and grow up. There are much worse things going on in the world and throwing young men into jail for non-violent crimes does nothing but make more criminals. Educate yourself or just shut your mouth. There are plenty of other ways to teach these guys a lesson outside of throwing them in a cell like animals.l Maybe thats what you think of them because they are "athletes who get special treatment" which we all know is code for what you really mean.
They are first offenders.

Chiron and Achilles:
In very ancient times, Chiron, the Wounded Healer, was originally a god of healing. In later mythology, as a teacher of heroes and an oracle, he survived as one of the centaurs. These wild creatures, half man and half horse, were not noted either for their sensitivity, or their intelligence and represented mankind's attachment to the lower animal passions. In modern astrology, he stands for the deep karmic wounds in the subconscious that we have come to this life to heal.
Chiron is currently in Pisces. I think there will be many of us who will be looking to heal wounds, and make peace with certain aspects of our lives. I'm really hoping that the healing process can begin for all of us. There will be a full Lunar Eclipse in truth-seeking Sagittarius tomorrow. Its time for us to take the blinders off and face some cold hard facts about ourselves and others. Take this time to study, educate and realize that its not just about global consciousness, but intergalactic consciousness as well.
Love, and Light

No work/life balance, it is hard to take any of the vacation they give you.
TURNOVER: should have been a huge red flag to me. No one stays here more than 2-3 years, if that. Some new people are around from growth, but the large majority are from filling all the people that quit. So many people leave every week, most folks are numb to the news that someone left.
Horrible communication. It is almost impossible to get help or information from anyone. Everyone is too busy. On a personal note, the social communication is next to nothing. No one knows anything about each other's personal lives/situation...they don't care, no one talks to each other at the office, not many people go to lunch together.

Roper stresses fun with entertaining
By SUE WATSON
Tips on easy, yet elegant entertaining, were abundantly supplied with lots of laughs Thursday at Jennie's Flowers and Gifts in Holly Springs.
Patty Roper brought smiles and fun as a way of showing ladies how to prepare great foods and to decorate for parties the easy way.
Roper signed copies of her latest book, "Easy Parties and Wedding Celebrations."
She related how she began writing her popular column "Easy Does It" which has been featured in Mississippi Magazine for the last 16 years. Her husband, Richard, is the publisher.
He praised Holly Springs for its quiet beauty and history and said even he can prepare the easy recipes his wife has collected over the years.
Roper said she was a school teacher nine years before she was gradually, and steadily, hooked into working and writing for Mississippi Magazine with her husband 28 years ago, first while he was owner, and then in his capacity as publisher.
Early on she answered the telephone, assisted with layout and then was worked into editing when one of the magazine's editors took time off to have a baby.
The magazine was always in need of extra stories, so Patty began writing school stories, easy party stories and tea party stories.
When someone suggested she write a "Garden by the Yard" story, Roper learned afterward that a reader claimed ownership of the idea and headline.
"Ideas, I came to find out, are not our own and they are remembered," Roper said.
Then she launched into a string of simple decorating and food ideas - all the how-to's that any hostess wants to know.
"We love those easy articles and easy food," her readers told her.
"So, every issue I would tell people how to do something easy," she said.
Eventually her editor asked for an easy cookbook, which became her first.
Roper said she wants her new book, which includes tips for party planning and etiquette, to be "that spark of inspiration that gives any hostess the confidence she needs to step out and try something new."
Her previous books include "Easy Hospitality" (1996), "Easy Does It Entertaining,"(2004) and "At the Table with Patty Roper" (2006), and "Easy Recipes."
Her presentation at Jennie's included elements from all her books.
"Anytime we get people together, it's a party and it's about entertaining people and doing a little extra," Roper said.
Tips for entertaining include:
• not waiting until your house is ready and everything is perfect to have a party. People will notice what is on the table, not the things that a hostess did not get around to doing, she said. Small, unusual details are what guests remember long after the party is over.
• pick a color scheme and then use those colors and different shaped food items to match the color scheme.
• learn from your children. Roper, who has a flair for fashion, learns from her daughter. She said her daughter came home from a party and told her the hostess servied brownies. "And they cut them in squares!" her daughter said.
• organize ahead of time.
"Think from the time of the invitation to when they walk in the front door," she said. "Do something neat and different each time. Add something special to what you have. Use every space in the house. Put desserts and coffee in the back room."
• enjoy preparations.
"Love the process of getting it ready," Roper said. "Let your friends come over and help make things. They need to come over and learn."
• mix old china with new, and expensive with inexpensive dishes. Roper uses her mother's best china with plates bought from WalMart and Target or bought from a thrift store.
• make interesting place mats. Roper displayed a place mat made with a circle of men's ties from a thrift store and an iron-on center.
• include neat party favors on functional items like napkin rings. She makes unusual napkins from bow-tied fabrics and adds a vintage pin as a party favor.
Hostess Irene Strickland was elated with the community response and turn-out for Patty Roper and her book-signing event.
"I think it is really important for us in Holly Springs to recognize our assets," Strickland said. "We have fabulous opportunities here and we all need to expand on them.
"We've got to showcase our town and, at the same time, enjoy the privilege of hosting a person of this caliber."
Dreaming big and expecting a positive answer was the thing that got the Ropers to Holly Springs.
"Betty (Burch) just picked up the phone and called," Strickland said. "Everyone in town was invited and Patty stayed from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. She demonstrated ideas she had included in her cookbook as well as in her articles in Mississippi Magazine.
"She's such an excellent example of Southern grace and charm, in my opinion - so knowledgeable about entertaining. She has a flair for using thrifty ideas. We are so fortunate to have so many amenities here that we need to spotlight - mainly the small town atmosphere, friendship and camaraderie.
"We want people to come and feel welcome and to expect to get what they want."
Betty Burch, co-owner of Jennie's Flowers and Gifts, Betty Burch, agreed.
It was her daring that got the Ropers to agree to visit the city.
"It was just a fun afternoon for all the ladies," she said, "something not available in Holly Springs every day. When it came out in Mississippi Magazine that the book was about to be offered, I said, 'we could get her to come to Holly Springs.' "
The Ropers were busy last August and put off answering. Soon it was Christmas, then January and Roper didn't call, so Burch said she called her again.
"I said, the ladies in Holly Springs would just love it if you would come. She said, 'Let me think about it.' "
Soon both the publisher and his editor had agreed to come to Holly Springs.
Burch said she believes Holly Springs can attract guests like the Ropers.
She wished the book signing could have been offered at a time when more women could have attended.
"She was really good - entertaining," Burch said. "After you talked to her a while, you felt like you had always known her."

Beginning in late 2004, the IOM began a project to take a new look at disability in America. It will review developments and progress since the publication of the 1991 and 1997 Institute reports. For technical contracting reasons, the new project was split into two phases. During the limited first phase, a committee appointed by IOM planned and convened a 1-day workshop to examine a subset of topics as background for the second phase of project. As was agreed upon with the sponsor of the workshop, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the topics were:
The phase-one workshop was held in Washington, D.C. on August 1, 2005. Its participants included researchers, clinicians, social service professionals, policy experts, and consumer representatives and advocates. The meeting agenda and list of participants are included in Appendix A. Workshop on Disability in America: A New Look- Summary and Background Papers summarizes the workshop presentations and discussions. The background papers prepared for the workshop are included in Appendixes B through O. Some papers were submitted and circulated in advance of the meeting, whereas others were first presented at the meeting. The analyses, definitions, and views presented in the papers are those of the paper authors and are not necessarily those of the IOM committee. Likewise, the discussion summary is limited to the views of the workshop participants.

Unfortunately, the place is a rundown shack with no electricity . . . except for the sizzling sparks that fly when she meets Matt Taggart, the big strapping rancher next door. One of the Lone Star State's most desirable bachelors, Matt Taggart has seen more than his share of gold-diggers - including his ex-wife - and he's sworn off love forever. He's convinced Shannon only wants a piece of his ranch. But when he challenges her to help him work the land, Matt begins to see Shannon for who she really is.

"unget" podcasts? | 33 comments | Create New Account

"unget" podcasts?
Since a podcast is usually a one-time listen I'd like is a way to "unget" it from the Podcast playlist after listening to it, which would delete the file associated with it (to reclaim disk space) but preserve the playlist entry playlist (which could be marked as played). Just manually deleting the file would leave an orphaned entry for it. Any idea how to convince iTunes to do an "inverse/undo get" of a podcast" like I described?
"unget" podcasts?
First, what would be the point of crowding up your podcast playlist with files that aren't on your system? Are you trying to get a playlist such that clicking on a podcast will cause the iTunes to go fetch the podcast on demand, instead of storing it in your Mac?
"unget" podcasts?
The point of preserving Podcast playlist entries after deleting the content is to keep a history of what I've listened to (or watched). And maybe I delete the content before listening/watching, then decide to download it again later. So, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to do that without creating dead links (orphaned entries, in my original post), which apparently there isn't.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"But the Lord stood at my side …" (2 Timothy 4:17a NIV)
The Christmas holidays tend to magnify the loneliness we feel when we're separated from the ones we love. Many of us have lost our roots or never had any to begin with, and that can cause loneliness. We can experience the loneliness of separation because of military service, a career, or an illness.
But the Bible tells us what we can do about our loneliness:
Focus on the needs of others. Get your eyes off yourself and focus outward. Look at how you can serve other people. The Apostle Paul focused on telling more people about Jesus: "But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it" (2 Timothy 4:17a NIV).
Focus on your purpose. Even when the Apostle Paul was isolated in a prison, he never stopped living out his purpose. He wanted everybody to know about God's love.
When you're lonely, stop building walls and start building bridges! Instead of saying, "I'm so lonely," say, "Father, help me be a friend to people who need a friend. Help me to help lonely people." That is the antidote for loneliness.
You can help others become rich in relationships by giving them the gift of you.

It still had the original muffler and other than routine maintenance required only a new clutch. It was a pretty sad day when we had to put her down. PS: My son was not injured, just the car."

"The Celica is a real joy in hot days. You get to roll down all your windows and enjoy the breeze as you ride along. The steering wheel feel is dull but responsive, there is a good amount of soft touch materials,the aspirated four is peppy although it will not overwhelm you, and the suspension is sporty and stiff because it really does not feel meant for comfort. It is reliable despite the fact that for our car the previous owner crashed the whole front of it, and fixed it although it wasn't really put on good you can see the line imperfections. As for the car on the snow well its really not that good. The car made us slide across the road one time which was scary, but then again this car was not designed for snow this car is for having fun around the corners. I also have noticed that on cold temperatures the engine has a really loud idle and when I stick the key and turn it it takes a while for the engine to turn on. Safety wise well the car only has two airbags,there is no traction control,and I really dont know its crash ratings. The mpg is good does not reach the magic forty but it lasts about the whole week from work to home for my dad. We do maintain it decently. I personally like the design if you look at it in certain angles the front looks attractive and the rear end is good too in my opinion as well as the look from the side. Overall though I really do love this car and I kind of wish my dad would keep it,but he says hes going to sell it to buy a Subaru because he wants to be safe in the winter. I understand his safety is first especially ever since an incident we had, yet at the same time i feel that it would be more cheaper to buy winter tires and really 4wd is not totally invincible either. I really do enjoy this car too because of its sporty look and feel of an 1999 sports car which reminds me how much technology has advanced ours does not even have a radio! Its just the road and you."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 79,950overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Good mileage, sleek design, great handling"
Cons: "Low seats"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"My TC is 19 years and looks like its 5. The sleek design and handling are what makes this car such a blast to drive. I have one of the first solar yellow Celicas that came out in 1995. Originally purchased from a dealer in Virginia Beach site unseen, I had to have it in Yellow - so called Toyota and they told me where I could find it close to me, and had a dealer in Virginia make a trip out there to pick up the car for me. This car never lets me down, minimal repairs needed, sexy look, and great ride. A few recent upgrades like a new paint job, new sound system, new seat covers and I am good to go for another 19 years without a doubt. My only complaint would be the seats are low and as I get older that is a bit of a pain in my back. I guess eventually I will have to get a higher seated car when I can't get out of my TC...but if I had it my way I would ride it to the end and get buried in it :) I love this car!!"

I'M RUNNING A RAFFLE-Giveaway of an Illustration set and a Jack Frost FIGURE!!
Hi!! I'm making this RAFFLE even more spicy!!
I'm putting some samples of figurines I made! WHY?
Because the figurine WILL be whatever you want … Yes!! WHATEVER YOU WANT!! in the maximun size and weigh of Derek & Stiles' samples (because of the international shipping costs)
DEREK & Stiles samples (status: in progress, fixing a lot of things)
DOCTOR WHO & SHERLOCK charms:
Hi, I'm Slashpalooza and this is my honest current SITUATION:
A few years ago I'd lost my job and for a while I was working as a freelance graphic designer, but to be honest it's getting almost impossible to pay all the bills with this unstable job (and to be even more honest, my soul is about to dry out and die because the off-road and sportfishing designs I've been doing all these years) And how I get this desperate?? Well, I think life have a weird sense of humor because both my computer and pen-tablet are starting to reach their due date (you know that you have a problem when the pen do not work unless you hit it constantly against the tablet :S) and without those tools I think I'm going to be pretty much doomed…
So, since I am a hard worker and a dreamer and a creative person I am not going to give up!! That´s why I am working in a project that needs to start with this raffle-giveaway.
A JackFrost figure I've made myself with all natural material: is a paste called "cold porcelain" with durability and hardness. Painted with oil paint. /sizes with the cane(stick): width:5.31" , height: 4.2"/sizes without the cane: width:3.54", height: 4.2"
here is a video for a better appreciation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwFBHsKGhiw&feature=youtu.be
And an Illustration set of 5 images in illustration paper (that paper for watercolors :D)
video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VilMgnp_PnM&feature=youtu.be
Technique: Ink and some acrylic details if it is needed.
About the Illustration set: I know that there are multi-fandoms out there so that's why the five images will be choice of the winner.
By now, as you could see in the video and image, I have three illustrations: Johnlock, Sandman and Sterek. One choice could be pick any of those three and the ones left will be whatever you want or five brand new of your choice. How does it sound?
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE in this raffle-giveaway??
It indeed has a cost of $2 USD.
The thing is that the raffle will be possible only if I reach at least 800 entries. Why? Because I'm going to SHIP it FREE for you!!
But I need to know FIRST if this is going to work so BEFORE doing the raffle I need you to send me an e-mail that show that you are really interested in participate, then, If I get those 800 (or more) e-mails, I'm going to send you the instructions of the payment privately.
There will be only ONE winner!!! BUT don't worry if you are not the chosen one!! Your entry counts as a one month subscription for free and exclusive digital comics (one shots and serial, from fandom and original) and a raffle of a free-commission… and I want to make this monthly, If you guys keep subscribing every month!
The entries will be numerated so the raffle will be run with the help of this site: http://www.random.org/ I will upload the video of the process so you can see it was a completely random number.
Well, I really hope this work out because this project means a lot to me and want to make amazing things for you guys!!
This is my e-mail account: email@example.com - for your previous entry and questions.
Please reblog and spread the word!!

sushi in Oakland?
- p
- peabodycat Dec 1, 2006 06:48 PM
Any recommendations for sushi in Oakland, particularly in the downtown or Lake Merritt area? Thanks!
There should be a sushi place on Grand, near the Old Place (opposite side of the street) that used to be called Mr. Sushi but I dunno if its any good.
There should also be another one close to the Old Place (Ta-Ke or Tataki or something). Haven't been there in years, but the last few times I went it was going downhill.
Another spot is Mijori, just down the street from Grand Lake Theater. It appears to be a fave on this board, but the rolls there are not very traditional. I recommend the saba if you go. The portions are pretty good sized for the price.
Sushi Zone is in Chinatown, next door to Peony in the Plaza. Haven't been there in a few years, but it's always seemed a bit pricey to me.
Drunken Fish is on Broadway, but close to 32nd I think... it also seems to get some favorable reports on this board. I've never been but comparing sushi recs I suspect it may be similar to Mijori.
There's also Wasabi, just behind Merritt Bakery, on 2nd overlooking the tennis courts. Never been there either so I can't say if its any good.
re: S U
The first place you mentioned (which used to be Mr. Sushi) is now Coach Sushi. It's okay. Nice and friendly service, lots of extras for regulars, but a bit variable. It might be better at the sushi bar: I usually get something and then sushi on the side. It's a few blocks closer to 580 than Old Place, a few doors down from Zza's and Trio.
The second is Ta-Ke Sushi, right across from the Eagle gas station (which used to be a Shell) -- a block closer to downtown from Old Place. It did not impress me. The $1 ultra-chilled beers from 4-6pm are worth a quick pass by, I guess, but the maki I had from there was marginal.
re: S U
I second Drunken Fish, which is on Piedmont at the corner of Broadway. It is much better than Mijori, I think. Had an excellent dinner there last night with the best wakame salad, sashimi plate, vegetable tempura, and sushi assortment (esp the amigo roll--cannot get enough of that: pink soy skin, spicy tuna, tempura shrimp, wasabi sauce, and black tobiko). Really top knotch last night.
Don't know about Lake Merritt side, but downtown I've been to Sushi Zone and it's ok. I usually go to Ginza in Jack London on Broadway. It's 2 doors down from Nation's. Great rolls if that's what you're into. Nigiri is good, but I like it cuz I can get some korean fixings as well. Grilled Kalbi meat hits the spot if I'm down there lunch/dinner.
Uzen on College Ave. in Rockridge (near Soi Four, the Thai restaurant) has been around and is still pretty decent.
re: wchane
Isobune's ok for the lunch bentos, but if you are looking for nigiri and choose a seat @ the "bar" (sushi boats floating by), stick to basic stuff and be aware that when business is slow the stuff on the boats may float around for a while.
If in that area, I'd rather head to Uzen.
Ichi (Ichiro?) Sushi on 15th, near the Off Broadway sandwich place. Good basic sushi, nothing fancy, very solid. The owner (Ichi) used to own/work at Ichi sushi on 17th. Been going to him for years, very personable guy, loves to get to know his customers. There is also Ginji (sp?) in Ogawa plaza near City Hall.
re: Grubbjunkie
Ichiro is definitely the best sushi option -- in *downtown* Oakland. At the chowlunch there about a year ago, most people thought it paled in comparison to the great places, but those of us who work in the area agreed it is miles above the rest of downtown.
And it's quite possible it compares well against the rest of Oakland, since most of the "X is better" comments were for restaurants outside of Oakland.
re: chef chicklet
The food at Yoshi's used to be pretty mediocre but they hired Shotaro Kamio, former chef of Ozumo, to revamp it, which is good. On the other hand, he's also overseeing the new Yoshi's in SF, so may be spread a bit thin.
Haven't seen any detailed reports here on the new food at the Oakland branch yet.
re: Robert Lauriston
I haven't eaten at Yoshi's in about 6 months, but was going every month or so before then. I think it's far above mediocre, and I can't think of a better sushi joint (for the sushi part). You might consider it mediocre for the price & setting, but that's all. I distinctly remember the uni there -- thought it delightful.
They do their big business on friday and saturday. I tend to go on those days also, as the band schedule works out favorably. Friday's often an excellent sushi night anywhere, and Yoshi's is no exception.
Their nigri is what I go for. I think the rolls are decent, but not memorable. Noodles and soup were quite good, and I remember liking the tempura. There's a couple of "california flair" dishes that are pretty good (seared ahi salad, for example).
The mixed drinks there are above average for Oakland.
Most of the sushi places I go to in the East Bay are outside of downtown, on the Rockridge side, so I can't help other than that.
re: bbulkow
The new chef has radically changed Yoshi's menu, so previous experience is no guide. See Melanie's second link for one detailed report.
re: Robert Lauriston
sho is still spending his time at yoshi's in oakland as san francisco is still 6 months away. he's also brought on board his #2 at ozumo, who became the chef after he departed and did a great job maintaining food quality, so i'm optomistic that sho's improvements should sustain.
*disclaimer, i have a business relationship with yoshi's
re: laaronson
Thanks, I got the mistaken impression that one of the topics linked above was a report on Yoshi's SF.

This is a 'Wet Look' glossy eyed makeup I tried out on myself in preparation for a future shoot. I will upload a video of it for you to see.
The idea was to create a look using minimal products. So I used one eyeshadow for the main features in this look - Eyes, contouring & lips.
I used a £1 eyeshadow from MUA Cosmetics which can be purchased from Superdrug.
- I applied Revlon Photo Ready Foundation
- For my brows I used Maybelline Gel Liner to shape them
- I took an MUA eyeshadow in Black and mixed it with a Clear lipgloss & applied that to my eyelids
- Next I applied a Black Kohl liner from MAC to my waterline and just under the lower lash line for a dramatic look
- Using the Black eyeshadow from MUA again, I used a flat shadow brush and contoured the bridge of my nose. Then took a fluffy brush to blend
- With the same eyeshadow, I used a blusher brush and heavily defined my cheekbones. I used my fingers to blend the excess, but you can use your foundation brush to sweep over and this will work perfectly
- I took an avon lip pencil in plum and lined my lips
- Using a lip brush, I mixed the Black eyeshadow and lipgloss again, and applied this to my lips, add an extra lick of gloss on top
- Then, using the same lip brush, I swept the mixture under my eyes for added drama
- Lastly, I took some EXTREME feather lashes and placed them along my top lash line!
One of the hundreds of images Hannah had taken of her at this weeks photography tuition shoot.
I was required to create two quick makeup looks. This one took 10 minutes.
Charles Fox of Covent Garden - London, held a 'Marathon Makeup Master-Class' this weekend just gone at the Royal Opera House, for people in the industry to come and see the top pro's in action!
The makeup artists demonstrating their skills were: Chris Dennis, Liz Bylett, Lan Nguyen, Stuart Bray and James Vincent! All talents of the industry whom I look up to and admire.
I will be posting some images from the event for you to see!!
The event was sponsored by Kryolan - I love their products!
- Makeup - Lan Nguyen
- Stylist - Joey Bevan
- Photography - Martin Higgs
Lan's third look from the 'High Fashion' section of the master class! Extreme 'Avant Garde' makeup.
Lan has used a bald cap to create this look, and covered it in glitter. I favour Kryolan's bald caps over most brands are they are super thin, and super durable! They are so easy to blend out with acetone so they sit seamlessly against the skin.
Lan has also used 'Face-Lace' appliques around the eyes, which is a fantastic way of gaining a quick creative & dramatic look to your eyes. They simply peal off the backing and you apply them to the area you wish.

Entomology (from Greek ἔντομος, entomos, "that which is cut in pieces or engraved/segmented", hence "insect"; and -λογία, -logia[1]) is the scientific study of insects, a branch of arthropodology.

WWE and THQ today unveiled the roster for the upcoming WWE '13 video game release.
With a heavy focus on the Attitude Era this year, the game will feature 9 current era Divas and three Attitude Era Divas.
The roster was revealed in a live Internet broadcast from SummerSlam Axxess.
The Divas roster for WWE '13 will be as follows:
* Alicia Fox
* Nikki Bella
* Brie Bella
* Beth Phoenix
* Lita (modern day)
* Eve Torres
* Kelly Kelly
* Kharma
* AJ Lee (DLC)
* Lita (Attitude Era)
* Trish Stratus (Attitude Era)
* Stephanie McMahon (Attitude Era)
As reported earlier, Cameron and Naomi will appear during Brodus Clay's entrance, also.
The most notable exceptions are Divas Champion, Layla, and Natalya.
Check out pictures below:
Is it just me or is this website taking forever to load!?
It wasn't just u! It happened 2 me 2…
who will be the divas champion if laylas no it?
Nikki Bella was the last one prior to Layla.
AJ is confirmed as the Raw General Manager on the THQ site so I'm not sure if she will be playable or only a NPC like Cameron and Naomi.
What I dislike is that instead of giving Lita the attitude era outfit as a second costume, they went and added her double in the game, taking away a spot from a other diva from the current ones that could had been in the game.
It's nothing new by THQ though cause if you check the whole roster so far there are quite a few superstars that are double aswell.
Oh well… let's hope the DLC will include more than Layla, Natalya and Vickie cause the game desperately needs more divas.
Most of all now that they FINALLY unlocked the 6vs6 divas matches.
the reason they have put superstars in twice instead of having them as another attire is so you can have attitude era lita vs modern day lita
No offence towards you but this is bullshit cause if it were a second attire, you could select it so you can play as a "current lita" vs "attitude era lita".
Having it as a second model only takes a spot away and a current lita doesn't exist in the wwe roster anyway.
They should had featured her as one model with two attires.
It's not that it's not possible to do, they did it in the past in their games (like CM punk with t-shirt and without or randy with two attires and so on).
They just got lazy as usual and just copy the model, added the new texture over it and tadaaaa! Ready to go!
It's easier and faster to add a new texture over a existant model than create a new one after all.
So let's pay to get current divas again as usual for a new totally bug filled game with no working servers (the wwe12 one still has tons of issues and they will be using exact this one instead of a new one).
People got what they asked for. They asked for modern Lita, they got her.
AJ Lee is going to be DLC. She confirmed this at the roster reveal and will be a playable character. As for the whole Lita thing, there is a current roster version and an Attitude Era roster version in the game so you will be able to play both versions of her and therefore should easily be able to have one Lita v's the other Lita. Same can be said for JBL as there is also the APA version of him in the game. There are a few others done the same way. There are 2 completely different rosters for the game. So, don't get so upset over this. You are jumping the gun and speculating.
Disapointed, but not surprised to see that Nattie didn't make the cut. Kind of shocked to see that Layla is missing. WWE really couldn't make it anymore clear that, without Michelle, they don't care about her at all.
2004 appearances aren't apart of the "Attitude Era" THQ has done with the male characters of the game which all go back to the 90's. Did they even research when they decided to go for those looks? Lita had tons of iconic looks to draw from that weren't in Hardy Boys merchandise but they recycled not one but two looks from previous games. It looks like the only thing they touched entrance wise was Beth Phoenix'… Eve has been heel since what? March? and she's still got a babyface entrance. Brie was heel all year round (I think) and she's got a babyface entrance. Alicia was babyface during production and they still left the same heel entrance from "SmackDown! vs Raw 2011″ … I could rant on and on about what's wrong here but THQ has shown regardless of however many complaints or threats they get, and their little notes they take for next year – they just don't care when it comes to the Divas. Fans are expect to pay for Divas like A.J. and possibly Natalya who were apart of the active roster during production? Please. This company [THQ] indefinitely lost my money in this and future games.
Love that Lita is included (twice is even better although not loving the modern attire). The only issue I have is she is missing her trademark thong, I understand WWE is PG now but some of the other Divas in the game are wearing much less than that, and something about her hair isn't right in the attitude version. Sucks AJ is DLC and that 3 spots of the roster are already gone but I guess thats understandable.
Let's hope that Kaitlyn, Layla, Natalya, Rosa and Tamina are part of the Divas DLC Pack.
Real talk, Rosa won't ever be featured in a WWE game and Tamina is basically back in development at NXT.
Not surprised by the list since it pretty much got out already which divas were going to be in it. I'm sure Layla wasn't included since this was in development when she was still injured. Hopefully she ends up in a DLC pack.
with all those slots… 77..1 person has 3 different characters…. really thq,wwe, w.e. other develop team there is yu couldnt just give it to use as an alternative costume instead yu give them a slot yea its a attitude era theme, so what how can yu leave the champ. out of the game :'-( im really sadden by this they got 2mnths to put layla on main roster and take away boring bellas i dont understand karma reason she was gone for a while!!!!! unless wwe will loose 1 customer and wen yu lose 1 yu lose 10 and 100 and etc…
1000% agree with you.
Two Litas is so fucking awesome! About damn time they put her in a game.
So getting this game.
Maybe it's because they're screenshots and I haven't had a chance to actually see the characters, but from these pictures the characters all look horrible. Honestly looks like back in Nintendo 64 days, or maybe the original Playstation. Hoping I'm wrong and it's just these shots.
I honestly think it's the photos that are making them look bad.Most likely bad quality phots.But I do appreciate DD for the photos though.I'm pretty sure that once we see videos of the characters and play the actual game,they'll look 10x better to us then.
Oh definitely…the only way I would have known/seen was via Diva Dirt ….I was actually hoping it was the screenshot quality, cause if not…wowzers lol
The graphics are definitely not that bad. I watched the reveal and they look much better than this. Not as good as a game this generation could have, but decent enough.
Well I'm glad to hear that…Can't wait for the entrances to be on Youtube
AJ a DLC so im sure she playable
Cool to have two Lita and im happy Trish is back again
Layla and Nattie could be DLC
For the most part,I'm pretty satisfied with the diva roster.I honestly wasn't expecting Kharma to be in the game,but hey,I'm not complaining : ) I kind of wish they hadn't made two Litas for the game.It would've been better if they had had made just one,but had the attitude era Lita be an alternate costume.Oh well.I'm just happy Lita is finally in another wrestling game.It doesn't really look like THQ did much with the entrances for the divas that needed an entrance update,but I'm not gonna complain because I am very understanding of the fact that THQ does have limitations as to what they can and can't do.I'm very happy that AJ is gonna be in the game,despite being DLC.I am hoping that they will have more attitude era and modern day and attitude era divas announced as DLC because i'd love to see Layla,Natalya,Sable,and Chyna in the game : )
Btw,I can't wait to play as Stephanie McMahon : )I love her!
Oh,one more thing:I do hope that they'll have Rosa Mendes in the game,especially since Epico and Primo in the game.it'd only make sense.At least have her as an option for a manager.
Oh,one more thing:I do hope that Rosa's gonna be in the game,especially since Epico and Primo are.It'd only be right.At least if they made her an option as a manager.
I like the Divas roster too (especially the fact that the Funkadactyls are in it with Brodus Clay lol) and I hope that they have a Divas DLC Pack like last year with some current Divas and some more Attitude Era Divas because I would like to see Sable, Jacqueline, Ivory, or even Molly Holly in WWE 13. As for Chyna…..don't hold your breath. WWE has seemingly cut all ties and connections with Chyna since she's entered the adult entertainment industry. Sounds justifiable cuz of WWE being PG nowadays but you can see the double standards here cuz X-Pac is in the game and was at RAW 1000 and he and Chyna made a sex tape years ago so I would put Sean in that same category. Oh well….
You do make a point about Chyna and the whole X-Pac thing too.I am really glad they included Cameron and Naomi in Brodus' entrance as well.Very smart move by them : )And I'm hoping they'll have a divas DLC as well too.I think everyone here wants that too!
Limitations? Kelly Kelly has had the same entrance for 6 years now. Alicia will have now had the same entrance for 3 years in WWE 13. Don't be spoon fed bull**** from THQ employees because they're too dishonest to admit the Divas aren't a priority to the series. There's very little to no authenticity to the presentation of the Divas in the games these days.
Okay,calm down.I was just going by what they usually say.My bad for believing them!
It isn't a personal attack on you, it's just the fact of the matter they lie to fans (particularly the Diva fans) annually about improvements they make note of for "next year" … Beth Phoenix' Glam Slam has been noted for "next year" for 3 times now, same with Kelly's entrance and so on. Some of you guys just get suckered in. I think WWE 13 should just be a wake up call to people to quit buying games for the exact same stuff they had last year just with a different character model.
People are happy to have Lita back in the games, cool – me too but not when they just took the "Shut Your Mouth" and "SmackDown! vs Raw 2006″ models and updated them to today's standard.
Sorry,I took it the wrong way.You do honestly make a point though.I guess at times fans like me do get sucked into believing those lies.It does get old seeing the same old same old at times because you kind of expect them to have everything updated and revamped,especially for those superstars that have a different attire,entrance,moves,etc. I do apologize for taking what you said the wrong way though…
I'm surprised to see lita has two versions their doing her something special in a way I want to buy the game just because she's in it
Kharma being in it is great as well
Sucks that layla wasn't in it I'm guessing the divas champ might be beth cause nikki had it for a week b4 layla got it
One Thing I Hope This Game Have The Right Glam Slam For Beth Phoenix
am i the only person who cant!!! BELIEVE! tht NATTIE AND THE DIVAS CHAMP ARENT ON THE MAIN ROSTER… the bellas and karma… ok i would just want the bella entrance and music thts all 3 divas tht needed to get the boot in order to put layla, nattie and aj.
1.LITA with alternative and the other spot kaitlyn so bassicallly
replace brie with layla, nikki with nattia and lita (modern) with kaitlyn thts a good roster!!!
Can anyone tell if Beth is wearing her new pants attire or her skirt attire?
Okay,thank you : ) I should've known it was skirt anyways since that's what she wore for the most part during the time setting of this game.
So we get Kharma who's gone & never even had a match, the Bellas who are gone, & a totally unnecessary 2005 Lita. Yet no Layla the Divas Champ? Makes sense.
thnk yu! som1 who understands
Why would they? Layla came back after WM (which btw is the cut off date for these games.) Kharma is in because many people want to play her, rather then Layla.
I just hope they actually make Beth's Glam Slam for real this time!
Me too!I'm not gonna lie,I'm so tired of them having her do the double chicken wing drop.And that Glam Slam submission?She doesn't even do that anymore.
A good DLC could be
Layla, Natalya, Kaitlyn, AJ (already confirmed), and I'm really hoping for Aksana!
And maybe a attitude era DLC divas of Stacy and Torrie??
i like i like plus a current trish
I would love to see Maxine as DLC honestly.Then the game would definitely be worth getting!
You won't see Maxine as DLC, simply down to the fact that she's released and would had to have been paid for her likeness to be used.
At best I think the Divas pack will consist of: A.J. Lee, Layla, and MAYBE Kaitlyn but she's a real strong maybe because she's only just been pushed within the past two weeks. I think Natalya has become too irrelevant to TV to even be considered, sadly.
You're probably right about Maxine sadly…Although it would be nice since she did play a big role in the company on NXT.
Well I have no reason to complain, Lita is in the game, TWICE.. and idc what anybody else says I'm not going to complain about her attires, she's in the game.. be happy!
My other happy moment was seeing that Kharma was in the game, I figured she would be, but nobody was really speculating it. I'm happy to see her in!
I'm also glad to see Eve, AJ, and Stephanie of course I'm thrilled about!
I don't understand why they made spots for the Bella's when Layla is more relevant but I understand why she isn't in the game. I bet she will be dlc.
Does anybody know if they are keeping both titles in the game? Also does anybody know if we will be able to have diva's involved in 6 tag matches, mixed gender matches where they won't be dq'd, or if the diva's can enter the rumble. I miss being able to do all of those.
I'm not really sure about them having both the divas and womens title,but with them featuring the attitude era,I'm pretty sure they would have both since the womens title was part of the attitude era.
People don't seem to realize it takes a lot of time to make these models. At the time they made them/edited them Layla was injured, the Bellas were still there, and Kharma was still expecting and was expected to come back and dominate. They couldn't just restart for every little change, to the Divas no less. Like it or not the Divas are neither THQ or the mainstream audience's focus. To be honest sometimes we should feel lucky we got more than 7 divas this time. WWE '12 had 7 divas excluding DLC. This time we have 11 counting both Litas. Natalya not being there I don't understand, especially considering her attire changes weren't very extreme. The second Lita being replaced by Natalya would make the most sense.
Oh and the fact Kelly Kelly and Alicia have the same old entrances PISSES ME OFF.
OK, I'm super excited for this! The Bellas are in the game! And they have the same attire! Kelly is gorgeous! Eve is flawless! Beth's hair is phenominal! Trish and Lita are awesome! Kharma looks scary, and Alicia…….. wonderful! Cant wait for this game to come out!
we just need Layla, Natalya and Kaitlyn. hoping they will have women's championship here.

Campaigners seek court injunction against BAE settlement
Lawyers acting for Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) and The Corner House today lodged papers at the High Court asking for an injunction to delay the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) from seeking court approval for its controversial plea bargain settlement with BAE Systems pending the outcome of a Judicial Review. They lodged papers requesting a Judicial Review at the same time.
The campaigners contend that the proposed settlement is unlawful because the SFO did not follow the correct prosecution guidance (including its own guidance) on plea bargains.
They argue that the agreement does not reflect the seriousness and extent of BAE's alleged corruption and does not provide the court with adequate sentencing powers.
The groups also hold that the SFO unlawfully concluded that the factors weighing against prosecuting BAE on bribery and corruption charges outweighed those in favour of prosecution.
Under the SFO's proposed settlement, BAE would plead guilty in court to "accounting irregularities" in its 1999 sale of a radar system to Tanzania and would pay penalties of £30 million. The SFO would not bring prosecutions relating to alleged bribery and corruption in BAE's arms deals elsewhere, including in the Czech Republic, South Africa and Romania.
Kaye Stearman, spokesperson for CAAT, says:
The plea bargain in no way reflects the very serious allegations of bribery and corruption against BAE, limited as it is to minor book-keeping offences in one country.
Nicholas Hildyard for The Corner House says:
We've had no option but to seek an injunction. The Serious Fraud Office should not seek legal approval of its proposed settlement with BAE before the courts have had an opportunity to assess whether the decision to make that settlement was lawful in the first place. We believe it was not lawful.
Lawyers acting for the two groups have also requested a judicial review of the SFO's decision to discontinue its prosecution of Count Alfons Mensdorff-Pouilly.
In December 2006 the SFO dropped its bribery and corruption investigations into BAE's arms sales to Saudi Arabia, following pressure from BAE and Saudi Arabia and a direct intervention from then Prime Minister Tony Blair. The decision was subject to severe criticism and prompted CAAT and The Corner House to launch a Judicial Review of the decision. In April 2008, the High Court ruled that the SFO Director had acted unlawfully by stopping the investigation - a decision subsequently overturned by the House of Lords in July 2008, which ruled that he had acted lawfully because of a threat to national security if he continued.
On 1 October 2009, the SFO announced that it intended to prosecute BAE Systems for offences relating to overseas corruption. See SFO press release
On 29 January 2010, the SFO charged Count Alfons Mensdorff-Pouilly with conspiracy to corrupt in connection with BAE's deals with eastern and central European governments including the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria. In the course of these preliminary hearings, the SFO told the courts that "From 2002 onwards, BAE adopted and deployed corrupt practices to obtain lucrative contracts for jet fighters in central Europe." It was a "sophisticated and meticulously planned operation involving very senior BAE executives". See Observer, 7 February 2010. He was granted bail of £1 million on Thursday 4 February. See articles in Times, 5 February 2010 and Telegraph, 4 February 2010.
On 5 February 2010, however, the SFO announced its plea bargain settlement with BAE.
This settlement was announced in conjunction with a much larger settlement made by the US Department of Justice with BAE. Under this settlement, BAE admitted making false statements in 2000-2002 in relation to BAE's arms deals with Saudi Arabia and passing covert payments through the United States in regard to its arms deals in Central European countries. It will be fined $400 million (£256 million). Because it has not pleaded guilty to corruption charges, BAE can continue to bid for US military contracts.
Later on 5 February 2010, the Serious Fraud Office announced that it was withdrawing proceedings against Count Alfons Mensdorff-Pouilly on the grounds that it was no longer in the public interest to continue.
For further information or an interview please contact:
Kaye Stearman of CAAT, on 020 7281 0297 or 07990 673 232 or Nicholas Hildyard of The Corner House on 01258 473795 or 07773 750 532.
1. Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) works for the reduction and ultimate abolition of the international arms trade together with progressive demilitarisation within arms producing countries. The Corner House aims to support democratic and community movements for environmental and social justice through analysis, research and advocacy.
2. The Serious Fraud Office is a UK government department that investigates and prosecutes complex fraud: www.sfo.gov.uk
3. BAE Systems is the world's fourth largest arms producer. It makes fighter aircraft, warships, tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery systems, missiles and munitions. Its foremost markets are Saudi Arabia and the United States. It has consistently denied any wrong-doing. More information: here.
4. A judicial review is a court proceeding in which a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body. Now that CAAT and The Corner House have lodged papers at the High Court requesting a judicial review, the Serious Fraud Office Director will submit his legal arguments and a witness statement arguing why the decision to offer a plea bargain settlement with BAE was lawful. A judge will then consider the papers from both sides and decide whether to grant or refuse permission for a full judicial review hearing.

Wearing the Cape is the first of a series of superhero novels by Marion G. Harmon. Its world is our own until sometime in the late 90's, when the Event created an alternate history. The Event was a worldwide sensory blackout that lasted 3.2 seconds; everyone experienced those brief seconds of sensory deprivation, and when the world came back they found that the Event had also triggered a temporary but worldwide loss of power (known as the Blackout). Most importantly, however, the Event changed The Rules.In the aftermath of the Event and the Blackout, as stalled and out-of-control cars and powerless planes turned freeways and cities into death-zones, a small percentage of people reacted to the trauma and danger by exhibiting superhuman powers. Called "breakthroughs", many of them exhibited powers similar to those of traditional comic-book superheroes, though others were patterned after older myths and some were just plain weird. The first recorded breakthrough, a Superman-knockoff who took the codename "Atlas", put on a jumpsuit and cape to do good in the days and weeks following the Event, setting the pattern for public-minded breakthroughs who followed. Much of the plot is driven by the separation between expectations and super-heroic reality as the main character, Hope Corrigan, gains superpowers and deals with all the changes in her life. Through her eyes, the reader sees the difference between media-driven stereotypes and the truth about the superhero profession.The story takes place ten years after the Event, and an entire generation has grown up in a world of "superheroes." Unlike the heroes of the comics, however, Post-Event superheroes are certified, licensed, and regulated by state and local governments; most active heroes are members of Crisis Intervention and Aid teams and act as civilian contractors to city governments. While they do aid local police in responding to superhuman threats, mostly they act as Emergency Response Personnel. They also milk their own media-value for everything it's worth, using costumes and codenames to market their images (and sometimes to cover true secret identities). The presence of breakthrough powers is the only fantastic element in the Post-Event world, which strives to be a socially realistic setting, in that the story explores the political, legal, social, and personal issues created by the reality of people with superpowers. In general attitudes, the setting's superheroes resemble the more nuanced heroes of The Golden Age of Comic Books.There are currently 5 novels and one short story, with a 6th novel in progress

I"m not kidding when I say I have been diligently searching for a rug for 2 years! I had decided in the end that I wanted to go with a shag for our living room but everywhere I looked (and I looked EVERYwhere!) if they were good quality, they were $XXX.XX dollars, if the were affordable, they were crap. I finally found this rug online and felt it was going to be too good to be true. I started at the screen for an hour trying to decide between mushroom, ivory, beige, or taupe. I clicked on taupe and couldn't be more pleased! It's a very gray shaded medium brown color. Simply stunning in my rustic home where I use lots of natural colors that are more on the cool end of the color spectrum. This rug is very plush, thick, and soft. My dog has made it his new bed (much to my demise). I would recommend this to anyone! I can't tell you how happy I am. Also I did not notice any odor from the rug after rolling it out. Had friends over the night after we got it and they didn't notice a smell either. I'm thinking of buying another one in a different color for our loft. Simply wonderful and Affordable!
I ordered this rug after considering the same rug in mushroom, beige, and gray. Taupe is really what I wanted. I was aware that some reviewers thought the rug was darker than on screen and allowed for that possibility. However, my rug looks exactly as it appeared on my monitor. No surprises at all except how much I enjoy walking on it barefoot! Would highly recommend.
I am VERY pleased with these rugs. Colors are identical to the pics except there are light and dark yarns twisted together that give it a rich look instead of boring solid. I had ordered the 6x9 in beige (cream) for my formal living room and absolutely loved it, and now have the runner and another 6x9 in "taupe" for the den. These are very soft, thick, fluffy, luxurious area rugs. I did a LOT of shopping, and these were the nicest quality and best deal out there. Delivery of each item has been within a few days. The beige has two different colors (lt cream and dark cream mixed), so I called to see if the taupe was the same. I was told it was, so I ordered anxiously. The two colors mixed give it a rich, expensive look. The taupe is a mix of light and dark taupe blended together in the twisted yarns. Together it is a dark taupe, almost brown. If you want light, go with the beige instead which is a creamy off-white. These rugs are extremely thick (1-1/2") but vacuum very easily with my Dyson. Do not seem to shed. I cannot keep my bare feet out of them! My dogs love them. I bought some 1/4" carpet padding (from local hardware store) for underneath to hold them in place to the hardwood floors and to give a little extra cushion. Wow... I can't say enough about how nice these rugs are! The beige is classy in my formal living room, and the taupe is fun and shaggy in my den. Other reviewers said these have a smell and roll at the edges. Hellooo... they've been rolled up and have that new smell! Nothing a day unrolled on the floor won't cure. The smell goes away quickly (chemical smell from the spill-proofing I would assume), and the edges lay flat quickly after unrolling the rugs (roll them in the opposite direction for a minute - duh!) THESE ARE NICE!
I bought this rug because my sister had purchased one and it was like walking on air. Really great area rug and very comfortable. Everyone that walks on it enjoys it
Area rug has a manageable height of shag and a good weight that prevents slipping and sliding even without a rug mat. Colors are very sophisticated and 'modern.'
As others have said, once I unrolled this rug and put it on the floor, my three dogs thought it was their new bed and immediately laid on it and fell asleep! It is very soft and great on bare feet. The only thing that you should be concerned with is that it is not a true Taupe color: it is a Medium Brown color, which is quite dark. Great for my dogs because it won't show their slobber! As far as the creases, they automatically came out in a couple days and the carpet lays flat. I love my new rug!
Great rug. The shag is thick and soft. The color is rich and works quite well in my living room. Love it!!!
Beautiful rug, thick pile and really excellent quality, the taupe colour was perfect for my room, the rug was just what i was hoping it would be and has made my room warm and cozy. I love this rug!
This rug is definitely shag! It is very soft and looks great in the room. The rug sits pretty high off the floor because of how long the shag is, so my Rooma can't go on top of it, but it is now my dog's favorite place in the house to sleep. :) Shows how nice it is.
Love this rug. The chemical smell is a little strong though when you first open it. Rug is super soft and great quality.
