Pakistani Court Packed Ahead of Sharif Appeal Decision
Supporters of ousted Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif packed into a courtroom here Monday to hear the results of appeals including one demanding his execution for hijacking and terrorism.
The court was due to announce its findings on three appeals relating to events on the night of the military coup in October 1999 when Sharif was toppled from power and arrested by General Pervez Musharraf.
Sharif was sentenced to life in April for trying to stop a jet carrying Musharraf, who he had just sacked as army chief, and 198 passengers from landing in Pakistan on October 12, 1999.
Dangerously low on fuel, the plane was forced to circle the runway until the army eventually took control of the Karachi airport and Musharraf seized power.
Sharif has appealed against his sentence, saying that as prime minister he had the authority to divert the plane. Six co-accused, including Sharif's brother Shahbaz, were acquitted.
The prosecution has also appealed the life imprisonment term handed down by the anti-terrorism court, saying the nature of the alleged crime warranted the death sentence. The state has also challenged the acquittals of the co-accused.
Sharif's wife, Kulsoom Nawaz, told reporters at the appeals court that she did not expect justice.
"I hope all will turn out for the best and I'm praying," she said.
"Under these circumstances I do not expect any fairness although our lawyers fought the case pretty well."
Sharif has bitterly complained that the military framed the charges and bullied the courts to remove him from the political scene.
Despite his conviction and another 14-year sentence for corruption in July, Sharif remains leader of the former ruling party, the Pakistan Muslim League -- KARACHI (AFP)

text: Amidst a wasteland of negativity and scepticism, a developer spurs our hopes, claiming that the Wii U could outsell the Wii. On the Wii U, Giants Software's Mark Schwegler says, "There's a lot of potential that's not tapped yet, if it is and if it will be then I think it could be more popular than the Wii because it's something more." The Wii console has sold over 98 million units worldwide, but Schwegler's stance is firm. "I think it should do as well as the Wii, maybe even better. It's difficult to say, it's really depending on what games they will add that really use the extra device you get with it." Regarding that extra device, he adds that the Gamepad enables for a whole set of controls, trumping the Wii remote and nunchuk, which, by comparison, often relied on motion technology. His opinion is fairly straightforward. Wii U is a machine still to be unveiled; it needs great software to bring its features and innovations to life. Fortunately, there's no reason to doubt the existence of such software even now. Nintendo has already announced a range of highly-anticipated games set for release this year, and they've teased quite a few more to be revealed at E3. The Wii U may not be selling as well as Nintendo would like. But times change, predictions are premature, and a slew of new experiences awaits just beyond the horizon. What new experiences are you looking forward to? [via nowgamer] local_offer developer Nintendo wii u stars Further Reading Doom and Wolfenstein 2 on Switch are just the Nintendo accounts now support 2-step verifica Ford Crews They really need to increase the distance the gamepad can be from the controller. tvii would sell them a bunch of units, if it could easily be brought anywhere in the house and used with other tv's. So when your friends are over watching sports, everyone can look back over the plays, etc. When your wife has an oscar party, they could follow along with it. Others would see it and want it, and eventually people would buy 2nd wii's to have the functionality all the time in multiple rooms. Most I know that have wii-u's now have them in the kids room, or a game room, and the tvii function doesn't get used at all. WiiUltra Thats hardware related, not software related. They can't update gamepad range with a system update. Plus, it was meant to be in the same room with the console. Therefore, the answer is no. Elem187 Its using wireless, so they COULD make a repeater, like how people can buy wireless repeater… or at least a third party could make a repeater anyways. Nintendofreak weell wiiu is a console not a portable tivo DragonSilths That all depends on your house. Thickers walls will effect that. Some people can go upstairs, downstairs, attic, basement, or even outside their house on their drive way lol. Some cant. bizzy gie The Wii is almost at the 100 million mile mark. Way to go Nintendo! Daniel Gonzalez Indeed. ReturnoftheTruth2 Living in the past again. All Nintendo does it talk the past while the other two talk present and future. The Wii sold a lot – to suckers who did not buy more than one or two games. Daniel Gonzalez All you do is continue to preach the same thing over and over in recent comments. The writer of this article is entitled to his opinion as well as bizzy. You say you lay facts down, but they're only analyst based. That's only predictions, not facts of the Wii U selling poorly. You call it suckering, I call it good marketing. I'm quite sure Microsoft and Sony have been guilty of the same in recent years. Aenifer Please don't feed the troll. $41809923 we would like to see battalion wars 3 ,metroid,starfox and pokemon for the wii u AkaLink77 yah i agree and of course most of those they will do. And i agree to the artical saying it may do better than the Wii. The wii U is still a baby and has some growing to do but when Smash Bros Comes out it maybe be the best selling system out there! 😀 Forzil Leyna its hard to take you seriously with that picture, but you are right. AkaLink77 lol ikr! sometimes it distracts me when i read it over. **Does Avatar Face** Destiny64 the real problem is the price!!! Bob Wilkerson I think it is a pretty reasonable price for what you get. Daniel Gonzalez Agreed. It's not lke it's 600 dollars. Bob Wilkerson I also suspect that the NextBox and PS4 consoles will be close to $399 for the base model consoles with a relatively small amount of storage with the deluxe units going for close to $500 or more. Granted they may have a little more raw power under the hood but the enhancement of gameplay remains to be seen. I think the PS4 will be the same old thing where XBOX might actually be kind of cool with the Kinect 2 and the augmented reality the rumors are hinting at. Daniel Gonzalez True. Kinect is okay, but it is kinda lacking. Hopefully they'll do something different with it. Ps4 will most likely be enhanced only with raw power but they usually copy what Nintendo does like the Move for example. Elem187 I don't think they are doing raw performance this go around… That last comment from a Sony source said "the next playstation is less about performance and more about new ways to play" God I'm going to roll in laughter next week when they reveal a system with inexpensive (read budget) components off the shelf stuffed into a box. Bob Wilkerson Oh then poor Donaald will have nothing to defend. He will have to run to his mommy to comfort him because he cannot be a hardcore gamer unless he is sitting on his ass with a classic controller in his hand calling other player's moms whores while gaming online Daniel Gonzalez I can imagine that. Daniel Gonzalez Sources aren't always true. However, you may be right and I hope it's more about newer ways to play. Graphics in my opinion, have gone far enough and it'd be nice to see some more innovation from Sony. Elem187 Keep dreaming, if MS and Sony go for spec beasts like all their fanbois want, it will be EXPENSVIE. Sony cannot afford to take a haircut on every system sold, so it will be priced near cost. Elem187 $300 is expensive?? News to me.. When Sony and MS release their systems for 450-600, are people going to complain its too expensive? Daniel Gonzalez Well, 450 to 600 is actually expensive. $300 is more of a fair price. $350 is the max. Frank Peele i just want to know what retro is doing…. (please metroid) 🙂 Xeno_Elite I'm with this guy Daniel Gonzalez I'm thinking a Metroid game or a whole new ip. DragonSilths While I would be unhappy with that, They are making Starfox!!! Retros job is reviving Nintendos games that got swept under the rug. They revived Metroid then Donkey Kong. Now its Starfox's time. Also that rumor of them making their own Wii U game engine is exciting. DragonSilths wouldnt* be unhappy Dee Bee All will be revealed at this year E3. Bananapwnz well at least the wii u is doing better then how the ps3 started! that thing was like 500 dollars when it first came out. ReturnoftheTruth2 How does that help the Wii U? I know how it helps you propaganda job, but that's it. Elem187 Wii U doesn't need any help. It will sell when the games release. Daniel Gonzalez You say propaganda quite often on pretty much anything. Sounds hypocritical when you say I call you a bigot(which you are). Are you an active homosexual then? You wonder why people always have nothing good to say to you. It's comments like that, lol. ReturnoftheTruth2 Lol. Wii know the real reason why most have nothing good to say about me, but I am not out for a popularity contest or a paycheck from teh 'Jr. publicists firm," I just tell it like it is. More and more people are seeing the writing on the wall as Nintendo will not be able to get a good game out in time to save the system. It seems as if Nintendo rushed the Wii U in order to protect itself from the other two and try to sell what they could. Nintendo always had at least one of the "A" games out when the system, dropped. Elgin Traylor Jr Metroid Prime 4 anyone? that would blow everything away!!!!!!! Bob Wilkerson I believe Nintendo is committed to adding to the Wii U to make it better with new features and enhancements. Just like any console with a new way of gaming and control it will take a little time to see it's full potential. Some 360 and PS3 fanboys seem to forget when those consoles came out the software library was light, the graphics were relatively weak and over time the graphics got better, the available features got more and the console evolved. Daniel Gonzalez True story. I can understand that they see it not selling as much at the moment……but it's just absurd that it's a flop in just a few months. Sounds really over the top to me. Wii U is weak right now, but I know it'll pick up and games will have a higher visual quality. Besides that, I doubt Sony or Microsoft's next consoles will be that much powerful than the Wii U. They can't really afford to lose money with each generation. ReturnoftheTruth2 No need for a higher visual quality if it's only about gameplay! Daniel Gonzalez You're right….it is about the gameplay and always has been. Graphics wise, it'll get better when developers put more effort in the games. High visuals to me are just eye candy and yes they're hard to resist, but at the end of the day, those eye candy games are worthless without at least respectable gameplay. Nintendo has always had great gameplay. Maybe the graphics haven't been that awesome with the Wii, but the Wii U is still premature yet and hasn't even established itself in the market. I'm positive games will look even better in time. ReturnoftheTruth2 I only wrote that because you forgot your Nintendo script on gameplay emphasis! Daniel Gonzalez I never emphasize anything lol. You're right about graphics, but gameplay matters more. As long as graphics are presentable, then it shouldn't matter. Maybe it matters to you perhaps, but not to me. You have a right to your opinion as I do as well. ReturnoftheTruth2 According to Nintendo nuts and minimum wage spokespersons, gameplay is all that matters – graphics don't! Nintendo is also the only company in the world who knows how to make games and knows how to make games with great gameplay! If we are to believe you people, Nintendo is the alpha and omega of gaming! Well, the Wii U will meets it's omega pretty soon! Daniel Gonzalez It's comments like that that make you look ignorant. Firstly, putting "you" people when not all people think Ninendo makes the only great games. For one, I never said that, and two, you're obviously putting words in peoples mouths just to find some way to be right, which you fall flat doing anyways. Wii U isn't in any omega, just your common sense and credibility. We all know you're a troll, so continue to spew your absurd and over the top drama. We all enjoy your poor outlook on gaming. ReturnoftheTruth2 Ignorant is not knowing, not saying things that people with a vested interest do not like. Yeah, I may put some butter on what I write, but it still does not make them less true. I never see you put down those who always call Nintendo "awesome!" so just having a press conference or for promising a good game almost a year from now. Fumes Inkorporated I'm not sure why people dont understand that better specs does not only improve graphics. It can provide bigger worlds with better AI, more dynamic events, more art assets onscreen at a given time and a million other things. The issue with Nintendo is 3rd party support, just like last gen. If they can bring in the games they will do well, otherwise it will be like the Wii. I dont want to see Nintendo go away, we always need more competition but their mentality is backwards in many regards. Remember the whole "no one wants to play online" garbage? They are starting to wake up and I hope they continue but if they alienate 3rd party support then that is bad. Daniel Gonzalez Online was a big issue with the gamecube, and they're at least trying with the Wii U. Their eShop is much improved over the Wii's. As for third party support, it's too early to tell if there'll be any acutal damage. Holyfire Deluxe WiiU cost bout 430 in Australia (and that includes a game). Im estimating here PS4/720 will cost certainly more. maybe 500+ for the systems alone. In this market. they're launches will suffer hard to. WiiU will be in good stride by the time the competition releases. ReturnoftheTruth2 Who is "Giants Software?" How does his opinion coincide with reality? Daniel Gonzalez Perhaps google them? Plus, it's basically true that there's a lot of untapped power in the Wii U. Ports from third party companies doesn't really cut it. It does take a few years for any console to show it's true potential. So his opinion does hold up and most agree here. Why not let it expand and see where the Wii U goes before being too judgmental over it? ReturnoftheTruth2 How come when I drop knowledge based off of facts in the negative for Nintendo, I am being judgmental? How come when this dude does it, we need to wait and see? It has to go both ways. Daniel Gonzalez Probably cause you have been negative far more about Nintendo than Microsoft and Sony? I mean, from what we know all you have is a 360. So naturally, people are going to think you're being a fanboy based on the fact you write Nintendo off for practically everything. Plus, your facts can be questioned as I have a right to do so. Yes, you seem knowledgable, but that doesn't mean you know everything there is to know about games, the market and media. You come off as too much of a know it all. Do you race with Jesus on water too? Maybe look at if from our perspective and maybe you'll see you come off too rash and immature. True, some have been immature to you, but as an adult as you say you are, shouldn't you just i don't know, ignore it? And yes, I do play some games I'm not fond of all the way through, especially if that game was given to me as a gift. No one cares if you give your opinion with some analysis, but analysis is just predictions, not factual. Yeah, Wii U isn't doing all that well at the moment, but saying it's a flop already is quite rash and adding that it's doomed this coming september is a prediction, not a fact. I've never attacked you, only disagreed with you when I feel you are wrong or blowing things out of the water. I've kept up with video games my whole life, but even I don't know it all, and neither do you, so just leave it at that. I say that's pretty fair. There's no positives or negatives in this, just opinion. Elem187 Bravo.. let the trolls have it. Ryan House I totally wish that the Wii U disc Opening Lite up just like the Original Wii Except Maybe in a Different Colour like Green! Chiwawa Im patiently waiting for Lego City Undercover bizzy gie What would you guys prefer the Wii U to cost? $200-250 right out of the box? The 3DS XL costs 200 bucks. $300-350 is very reasonable price. If it cost as much as or less than consoles that have been out for 7 years with a plethora of price drops, then it wouldn't be worth anything. I guarantee the other two guys' hardware will cost $400-500 and NOBODY will care at all. InterTripleteWorldChampion This is exactly what anybody playing with this console thinks. Aiddon I just think it's funny how people are getting into a tizzy over the January number,s ignoring how well the numbers for November and December were. 10 footer for par Nintendo first party titles a given. Just need better third party support. If that happens, then yes, Wii U better than Wii.

text: Salisbury Steak Meatballs By Ree from ReesFrontier April 07, 2014 View This Recipe This is a very special recipe for two important reasons: One, it's absolutely delicious and comforting. Two (and even more importantly!), it is a part of Land O'Lakes' Pin a Meal, Give a Meal campaign. Between now and May 31, for every Land O'Lakes recipe (including this one!) that's pinned or repinned on Pinterest, the Land O'Lakes Foundation will donate nine meals to Feeding America®, which works to fight hunger in the United States. The goal is to donate 2.7 million meals. I participated with Land O'Lakes in Pin a Meal, Give a Meal last year, and it was so touching to see how many people jumped in and pinned recipes in the name of fighting hunger. If you pin this meatball recipe right now, it will trigger a donation of 9 meals to Feeding America®. (Isn't technology neat?) And, between now and May 31, be sure to pin all the Land O'Lakes recipes you love! Here's their Pinterest page, where you can browse all the yumminess: pinterest.com/LandOLakesKtchn And here's the Land O'Lakes website. You can pin recipes from there, too! www.LandOLakes.com/PinAMeal And now for this scrumptious recipe! Here's what you need: 1 Land O Lakes® Butter Half Stick, ground beef, seasoned breadcrumbs, brown mustard, ketchup, beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion, beef broth, ketchup, cornstarch, egg noodles, and minced parsley. It's not a tiny list of ingredients, but most of 'em are easy staples!! Combine the ground beef and seasoned breadcrumbs in a big ol' bowl. Then add the mustard (adds amazing flavor!)… And ketchup (ditto!) Next, crumble up the bouillon and add it in. We're going for extra savory here! Worcestershire sauce is next… Then salt and a good amount of black pepper. Use your (very clean) hands to smash it all together, then grab about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into neat balls. Repeat until all the meat mixture is rolled up! Add half of the half stick of Land O Lakes® Butter. The entire recipe takes just 4 tablespoons, so the half stick is the perfect amount! Melt it in a pot over medium-high heat… Then add the meatballs! Depending on the size of your pot, you can do this in either one or two batches. (I did two batches because I didn't want to crowd the pot too much.) Stir the meatballs around the pan… Until they're nice and brown on the outside. (They don't need to be done in the middle; they'll finish cooking later!) Remove them to a plate… Then throw the onions into the pot and start to sauté them. When the onions are starting to get deep golden brown… Pour in the beef broth… The ketchup and mustard… And some Worcestershire. Stir the sauce around, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen up the flavorful bits. Mix up the cornstarch with a little more broth… And when the sauce is really bubbling… Pour in the cornstarch mixture. Stir it around… Then pour in the meatballs! Let the sauce simmer for a good 15 minutes or so, until it's nice and thick and the meatballs are totally cooked through. While it's simmering, cook and drain the egg noodles and pour them into a large serving bowl… Then top with the other half of the half-stick of butter and toss it around until the noodles are nice and buttery. Sprinkle some minced parsley over the noodles… Then grab spoonfuls of meatballs and sauce… And place them all over the noodles. Make sure you get all the sauce on there! It's part of the glory of this dish. Finally, sprinkle on a little more minced parsley. Dinner is served! Salisbury Steak Meatballs Total time: 40 minutes Yield: 4-5 servings Ingredients: · 2 pounds ground beef · ¾ cup seasoned breadcrumbs · ¼ cup brown mustard · ¼ cup ketchup · 1 teaspoon beef base or crumbled beef bouillon cubes · 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce · ½ teaspoon salt · ½ teaspoon black pepper · 1 Half Stick (1/4 cup) Land O Lakes® Salted Butter · 1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced · 2 ½ cups beef broth · 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (additional) · 1 tablespoon ketchup (additional) · 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with a little beef broth to make a thin paste · 1 pound egg noodles, cooked and drained · Minced parsley Directions: To make the meatballs, combine the first 8 ingredients in a mixing bowl and knead until completely combined. Form into medium-sized meatballs and place on a plate. Heat a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat, and then add 2 tablespoons of Land O Lakes® Butter. When melted, add half the meatballs and gently move around the pan to brown. When brown, remove them to a clean plate and repeat with the rest of the meatballs. In the same skillet, add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and starting to soften. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of beef broth with the cornstarch. Next add to the skillet 2 cups of the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and the cornstarch mixture. Stir to scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the meatballs to the pan, reduce the heat to low, and allow them to simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes or until meatballs are done and sauce is thick. (Splash in more beef broth if needed for thinning.) Serve meatballs and sauce over a platter of egg noodles, tossed in the remaining 2 tablespoons of Land O Lakes® Butter and sprinkle with minced parsley. Recipe note: Sauce should be thick and glossy! Disclosure: $1 helps provide 9 meals* secured by Feeding America® on behalf of local member food banks.

Our first quarter results reflect continued solid execution by our operations and robust demand for our services. Our revenues in the first quarter grew 68% compared to the first quarter of 2011, and our GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.22 represents a $63.3 million net income improvement over the same quarter last year. Both our 12 month and total backlog increased at the end of the first quarter compared to the end of the same quarter in 2011. 12-month backlog increased about 37% and total backlog increased almost 12% compared to the backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2011.Our first quarter results were driven by strong performance in our Electric Power segment, due to the number of electric transmission projects in construction and our ability to safely execute on these projects. Of note, our void count at the end of this year's first quarter was about 19,000, up 35% compared to the first quarter of last year, and up 7% sequentially since the end of the fourth quarter of 2011. Turning to our Electric Power segment, revenues increased approximately 65% in this year's first quarter compared to the same period last year. 12-month backlog at the end of the first quarter for the Electric Power segment increased 45%, and total backlog for this segment increased 14% compared to the end of the 2011 first quarter. We are in the construction phase on 12 large electric transmission projects, and most are progressing as expected without significant delays. We continue to see significant opportunities for large electric transmission awards in 2012 and 2013, as utilities move forward with these projects to improve grid reliability and transport power from renewable sources to load centers. We believe we are still in the early stages of a multiyear transmission build-out in the United States and Canada, and expect our Electric Power segment backlog to remain strong throughout 2012 and beyond. We are currently in various stages of discussions on approximately $1 billion of large electric transmission projects that we expect will be awarded this year.

Hi everyone. Happy Holidays to you and your families. I wanted to give you some inside information on FedEx Home Delivery and Ground. I currently work for Home Delivery driving a box van. I applied for the seasonal position but I am told that I will be picked up as permanent.
I do up to 180 stops a day at $1.20 per stop. My contractor has numerous routes. Our facility I am told was designed for 12,000 per day and there were days we had hit 20,000 packages, far exceeding the limits but we managed to get them delivered for Christmas.
A little bit about contractors for both Ground and Home Delivery. They are paid by FedEx to load their trucks (these owners can either keep the load pay, which I believe is $15-30 per truck), they are also paid per stop + mileage and other incentives as well. They own or lease their vans/trucks and then hire drivers to operate them. Some contractors provide benefits but most don't is what I am told.
The guys I trained with all had Class A's and are driving Penske rentals to cover this busy holiday season. One of them was smart and spoke with contractors at the ground facility while fueling his truck. He has 6 years under his belt driving big rigs. He was then hired to train part time driving from Sacto to Stockton doing line haul one day a week. Looks like he is getting picked up by this contractor. Don't know what his pay is (been busy so really haven't had time to chat with him), but he did get in with ground line haul.
I am told that once you are in FedEx, even through a contractor, it is MUCH easier to transfer to Express or Custom Critical from within the company, providing there are jobs in your respective area. I have been told by a couple of guys at the ground facility that drive big rigs, they waited by the exit and spoke with drivers exiting to get info on jobs. Just another way to get into driving for ground.
As for my schooling, I have not had the time to attend school. I did locate one that will accept the WIA program and get it paid for but I have been working 6 days per week this whole time (hence why I haven't posted here at all since I've started), so I haven't even had the time to go to the WIA (Workforce Investment Act) and complete the orientation for the program so I can begin attending drivers training. I did locate a school which said that I can get a LOCAL driving job, without trying to push me off on some of the bigger OTR companies. If you are in NorCal, here it is: http://www.tdadrivers.com/?gclid=CNOdpZjOorQCFcaDQgodUhcAvQ plus they accept the WIA program.
In the meantime, I am contacting a supervisor I know at Conway to see if I can get in their for Doc Work while I practice for my CDL and do schooling after work. Also applied at a produce delivery company driving a straight truck just using my class C license.
As I get more information and closer to achieving my goal of becoming a full time driver, I will keep you posted.
Also, since being in the industrial area of the city and having to take 2 freeways to get to my route, I have made a list of a TON of day cab local & national companies. Once I have time to type it all up with URL's, I will post it on here for everyone that is looking to stay close to home for a local driving gig.
Take care everyone and have a safe holiday!

A buddy of mine worked for the FedEx Home Del. & Ground out of Cody, WY. I think he drove for them for a year or two and the out of town driver. He loved it. Said he's been to some pretty amazing awesome ranches he had never known to exist out in the middle of nowhere. Many 100-200 mile trips were for only one or two small boxes.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2: Malaysian palm oil futures dived to their lowest in more than three years on Tuesday, as slowing demand from Asia coincided with a drop in the edible oil's appeal as a substitute for soy oil, with the US soybean harvest progressing at a record pace.
Palm oil's decline follows the weakness in the Chicago soybean complex, which tumbled to a three-month low during Asian hours on Tuesday on the US harvest pressure. Palm oil has lost more than 29 per cent since the start of the year.
Lacklustre palm oil shipments, despite the Malaysian government increasing a tax free export quota for crude palm oil, is now certain to boost stocks in September above the ten-month high logged in August.
"There is nothing to do but sell. Everything is working against palm oil, from fundamentals to other global markets," said a trader with a foreign commodities brokerage in Malaysia.
"I suspect there may be a bounce tomorrow but everyone is short-selling for now and the general trend is for the market to go lower in the weeks to come." The benchmark December contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange dropped 8.7 per cent — its steepest daily drop since the 2008 financial crisis — to 2,250 ringgit ($737) per ton, a level unseen since November 2009.
It later closed at 2,255 ringgit per ton. Total traded volumes jumped to 49,867 lots of 25 tons each, nearly double the usual 25,000 lots as dealers aggressively sold off the market.
Reuters' market analyst, Wang Tao, said technicals showed palm oil would rebound to 2,500 ringgit per ton, as its fall may temporarily stop around a support at 2,407 ringgit, but that rebound would little affect the current downtrend.
Palm oil exports in September hovered around 1.4 million tons, barely moving from a month ago. Malaysian plantation officials and traders now say stocks could easily hit 2.5 million tons, with October shaping up to be a peak production month. "The government has issued about 3.5 million tons of tax free crude palm oil export quota for this year and it was supposed to finish in September," said another Malaysian trader.
"If it has really been completed, we are in trouble. Stocks are going to shoot up," he added. Brent crude oil slipped to around $112 a barrel on Tuesday as investors weighed a weaker outlook for fuel demand and sluggish economic growth against the risk of possible supply disruptions. In other vegetable oils markets, the US soyoil for December delivery dropped 1.4 per cent in Asian trade. The Dalian Commodity Exchange remains closed for a holiday in China and will resume trading on October 8. —Reuters

If the Sacramento Kings seemed clueless as to what to do with Jimmer Fredette, consider this: they are now seeking public input on their June draft pick.
In a promotion the team is calling Draft 3.0, fans are encouraged to share their own analytics and rank their draft preferences. In return, two winners will be "considered" for admission to the draft room on June 26.
Here is Rock On's sole analytic, which the Kings can take to the bank: Don't draft a 3-point scorer unless you plan to use him.
Authorities have found a man they believe held up an Atlanta area Waffle House with a pitchfork.
Police immediately ruled out WH aficionado Bubba Watson as a suspect, saying he surely would have used a 5-iron.
The Portland Trail Blazers got a scare prior to a playoff game in San Antonio, when a snake was discovered in the locker room.
Maintenance crews were brought in to remove the reptile that was an estimated two feet long. Experts say the situation wasn't too dangerous. Still, snakes are known to be irritable, quick to strike and intimidating.

I have a fertilized duck egg which I found, but don't no whether it is alive or not. How can I tell?
Holly from England
Hold it up to a 40 watt light bulb you should be able to see what is inside. (05/16/2006)
I use to raise ducks,lots of them. If you want to find out if the egg is fertile you use a tube that fits over the light bulb with a hole in the top that the pointed end of the egg fits in. The egg should have blood veins running through it.If you didn't find this egg in a nest there is a good chance it is not fertile until it has been set on by a duck for at least a week.If the egg was cold when you found it anything in it is aready dead.

Ventura Film Fest remembers Sally Davis, celebrity journalist
The Ventura Jewish Film Festival, opening March 9, will range across the Jewish world, from Ireland to Israel, and, in time, from the 19th century to the present.
Now marking its 10th anniversary, the festival has become a popular weekend destination for many Angelenos. This year, the film fest is dedicated to the life and memory of Ventura resident Sally Davis, an internationally known broadcaster and journalist, as well as a founder of the festival, who died last December at 71.
Davis grew up in Northern Ireland and, appropriately, the festival's closing presentation on March 17, St. Patrick's Day, will be "Shalom Ireland," which chronicles the rich contributions of Jews to the country.
The kickoff event will be the March 9 opening night screening at 7 p.m. of "Hava Nagila" at the Regency Buena Ventura 6 Theatre in Ventura. The documentary depicts how the vibrant and universally popular song started in the Ukraine as a wordless Chassidic melody some150 years ago, before becoming a staple at every bar or bat mitzvah and wedding.
In more recent times, "Hava Nagila" has been performed by hundreds of ethnically diversified artists, from Harry Belafonte and Julie Andrews to Itzhak Perlman. A Q&A with producer Sophie Sartain will follow the film.
"55 Socks," a short animated film by Oscar winning director Co Hoedeman, based on a poem by Marie Jacobs, will lead off a double feature on Sunday, March 10 at 4 p.m. at the Plaza Stadium Cinema 14 in Oxnard.
It will be followed by "Besa: The Promise," which tells the little-known history of Albanian Muslims who saved many of their Jewish countrymen during the Holocaust. Producer Christine Romero will speak at a post-dinner reception.
On Tuesday, March 12, "Orchestra of Exiles" will screen at Oxnard's Plaza Stadium Cinema 14, starting at 7 p.m. The film tells the dramatic story of the great Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman, who rescued some of Europe's greatest musicians from Nazi persecution and established a world-class symphony orchestra in then mostly barren Palestine.
Danielle Spivak, West Coast representative of the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, will comment on the film.
Another double feature is set for Thursday, March 14, starting at 7 p.m. at the Roxy Stadium 11 Theaters in Camarillo. Leading off is "Through the Eye of the Needle," which focuses on the amazing needlework of a woman, who escaped from the Nazis by posing as a Polish farm girl, and later created 36 panels of fabric recounting her experiences. Director/writer Nina Perl will be the speaker.
Following will be "Violins in Wartime," a documentary about an Israeli father and son who repair damaged violins and run a master class for young violinists while the second Lebanon War of 2006 rages nearby. Producer Ravit Markus will speak.
"Simon and the Oaks" will be featured on Saturday, March 16, at the Regency Buenaventura 6 Theatre in Ventura, starting at 7 p.m. The drama depicts the friendship over 15 years between two boys grown into men, one from a Swedish working class background, the other from an intellectual Jewish refugee family.
The closing presentation on Sunday, March 17, starting at 12 noons at Temple Beth Torah in Ventura, will be "Shalom Ireland." Introducing the film will be Ivor Davis, a former columnist for the New York Times and the Los Angeles Magazine, who collaborated with his wife Sally on numerous articles for the Jewish Journal and other publications.
In recalling his wife's career and her contributions to the Jewish communities on two continents, Ivor Davis said that after graduating from Queens University in Belfast, she became the youngest anchor ever on the nightly BBC-TV news program in Northern Ireland.
After the young couple moved to California in 1967, Sally Davis became a correspondent for BBC television and an entertainment writer for magazines and newspapers around the world.
She became well-known for her celebrity interviews with the likes of Ronald Reagan, the Beatles, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire for the New York Times Magazine, London Sunday Times and Los Angeles Magazine.
For more than three decades she was a member of Ventura's Temple Beth Torah, while also serving on the board of the Ventura Music Festival and of Planned Parenthood of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
"Sally was a driving force in getting our Jewish Film Festival off the ground," noted Bobbi Swerdin, the festival's chair and co-founder. "She was a sensitive and astute critic of movies and helped put us on the road to bringing dozens of world-class movies to Ventura County. Since then our festival has gone from strength to strength."

Bring to me the burning sky,
Gods will rise before the eye.
Bring to me the falling rain,
Watch the gods descend again.
Bring to me the hidden tomb,
Horrors spawn from ravaged womb.
But bring to me the Singers Three,
And I the greatest Mage shall be.
-Nonsense riddle, found in the Diary of Fredrick Waters
"The Singers Three" is a Mage: The Awakening game for both beginners and veterans. In the interest of increased longevity and interest, I'm very strict about keeping the number of players in this game to a minimum. I will be accepting 4 applicants: 2 will be apprentice-mages, on the verge of joining the Awakened, and 2 will be master-mages, who have already Awakened and accrued a small amount of magical power. Masters and apprentices will be paired up, and each "team" will have their own private thread, at least initially.
Apprentices can create their characters as per the starting rules, but should be aware that they will not have access to any of their Mage abilities (Arcana, Gnosis, and any magical Merits) until their Awakening is completed. Masters create their characters as "experienced" mages, and have 35 points of experience to dole out as they see fit; they've been around longer than their apprentices, but not by all that much. Masters and apprentices need not be of the same Path.

On April 18 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Ecuador. Many communities were affected by the earthquake and the places that were hit the hardest were the coastal provinces of Esmeraldas and Manabi.
We have been in contact with our friends and partners in Ecuador and while they are all safe it is clear that this is a serious disaster affecting much of the country and we are saddened by the destruction that has been caused. We will keep the country in our thoughts as the search for people continues. We hope that you do the same.
Here is an update from one of our partners:
"Our spirit is touched so deeply and we keep seeing so much pain and misery. On the other hand, it is sooooo amazing the support we have received from other countries, but mostly the compassion, resilience and solidarity that we Ecuadorians have shown this week. People have come through in such a great way it brings everybody tears and emotions of how these terrible events bring the best in people!"
We appreciate people reaching out to check on how our partners in Ecuador are doing. We're happy that they are ok, but humanitarian efforts are still needed.
We checked with our friends to see who was doing good work to help out and here is a list that you could contribute to:
Ecuadorian Red Cross – Emergency Fund:
Support UNICEF's Earthquake Relief Efforts in Ecuador:

25 July 2013
Academics from Northumbria and Durham universities were asked by ANEC and Cumbria County Council to look at the implications of greater Scottish autonomy. Their report is published today.
The report says that Councils and development agencies in the North East and Cumbria are well aware that Scotland is already in a good position to attract new investment. With greater devolution and perhaps even independence, Scotland could become even more competitive. In particular, there are concerns that lower business taxes north of the border could have a big impact on the north of England, making it more difficult for the region to secure economic growth.
But the report says that there are also opportunities. It recommends the development of new collaborative relationships between the North East and Cumbria, and Scotland. This isn't about setting up 'talking shops', but about creating practical cross-border networks and partnerships. The researchers say that there can be practical collaborations on transport, energy, tourism, rural development, and education and skills. There are many shared concerns, such as the need for better road and rail links, opportunities for further linkages in the offshore oil and gas industry, and also development of tourism in the border areas.Professor Keith Shaw of Northumbria University, one of the report's authors, said:'There's a lot at stake. With the independence referendum just over a year away, we need to be thinking about what it could mean for the North East and Cumbria. And we need to be expressing our views and concerns to both the UK and Scottish Governments. Even if it's a 'No' vote, Scotland will have more autonomy. We'll need to try and avoid negative impacts in our region – and exploit the opportunities. I could imagine our region making common cause with Scotland on many issues, and our region's economy benefiting from stronger links with a resurgent Scotland. We've been used to looking to London and the South East. Now it's time to seek stronger connections with our neighbours in Scotland.' On behalf of ANEC, Cllr. Paul Watson said:"We welcome the publication of this report, which offers us a valuable platform to continue to engage with our partners on key areas of mutual interest. North East Councils have agreed to actively pursue areas for potential collaboration and utilise opportunities to maximise benefits for the people of the North East.

Raven over the past year I have gotten some very valuable advice from you on several different subjects from postings on this site. So I thought that I would ask you this question directly because it seems to me that you have quiet a bit of knowledge in this subject and I did do a search and I did find something that was close to what I was looking for but not exactly. I have been fishing for shark over the past 15 years and I have saved every shark tooth that I have ever gotten I now have about 4 , 5 gallon buckets full of teeth. My question is what would be the best way to whiten all of them at once and not damage them. I have tried setting them in bleach over night which I figured would not work but I tried it anyways and of course they turned to chalk. Then I tried them in bleach for about 15 minutes and then rinsed them with fresh water and then I set them in water with Baking soda in it then rinsed them again in fresh water and set them in the sun on a white sheet . Does baking soda cause some sort of chemical reaction to chlorine and stop the breakdown that chlorine causes. What would be the best way to whiten them in your opinion. Thanks in advance for any info that you can provide.
Return to Beginners Category Menu
Although Im sure other people here could answer the question equally as well, I do thank you for your interest in my response. Anyone can answer any question tho =)
I would do it with the standard peroxide. 3% if you like (what I generally use) or the 12% (40 volume stuff you get from hair dressers). Dentists use peroxide to whiten teeth in their office - same sort of principle. The problems with chlorines (bleach) and various sodas, is the chemical reaction they have with things containing calcium. Sodium and chlorine can both replace the calcium found in bones, or in this case - tooth enamel.
To be safe - I'd go with peroxide as usual, but it may take a tad longer than doing the bone of skulls etc because although some of it's properties are the same... tooth enamel is not like standard bone.
Hope that helps =)
Mr.Moore, you must be quite a shark killing machine to have accumulated that many teeth. You should really learn to practice some conservation measures like maybe tag-and-release. I too do alot of shark fishing and we only allow ourselves to kill one to two sharks a year. They are very slow growing and slow to reach sexual maturity. Besides how much shark can ones family and friends eat. And I would like my son and grand son to experience the thrill of being able to catch one of these truly beautiful creatures. So please think before you kill your next shark.


text: Who do you think we would draft in this scenario? Oak- Jamarcus Russell Det- Brady Quinn Cle- Adrian Peterson Tam- Calvin Johnson Ari- Joe Thomas Was- Gaines Adams Min- LaRon Landry In my opinion, I believe this is the worst situation we could be put in. I would want go with Reggie Nelson, but I'm not sure if his stock is high enough for us to pick him. Maybe we could trade down, but with who?

Essential Office Furniture
For maintaining a good working atmosphere, office furniture has great importance. Office furniture is important not only for doing necessary jobs but also to improve the appearance of the look. Here in this photos, I will try to focus on that furniture without which it is tough to maintain an office. Let's have a look:
Office ChairsOffice chairs are one of the must have office furniture. Nowadays, an array of chairs available for offices in different designs, colors and styles. People are looking for gorgeous office chairs not only because they are necessary but also they add some extra beauty to the office.
Office TablesAnother must have office furniture is office tables. People now a day is also very interested to have attractive looking office tables. Generally, it is better to choose those tables that are spacious and comfortable to work with. People can easily purchase branded office tables of different manufacturers from online and retail stores.
Computer DesksOffices like call centers, telecommunication companies, banks, insurance companies, accountancy firms, financially support organizations, corporate offices and even online freelancing firms cannot deny the importance of computer desks. Computer desks are just a standard way to keep the desktop computer in a perfect way. Branded computer desks are highly available in the market today.
Filing CabinetsTo organize file properly, the necessity of filing cabinet can hardly be denied. Today, while purchasing filing cabinets for offices, want to think about something less colorful but highly decorative and gorgeous. There are many local firms that make built in filing cabinets on different offices now a day on order basis.
Conference TableConference table is very essential office furniture. In corporate houses, there is often an arrangement of conference room, conference chairs and conferences tables. As, the tables are used for formal occasions, people generally don't think about their durability rather they want to look for the brands, colors, broadness and styles.
Executive TableExecutive tables are used by different executives like marketing executives, HR executives , etc. As they have limited tasks on their table but they have to meet a good number of people every day in the office room, it is always better to have gorgeously to look executive tables which are highly available in the market today.
Reception DeskReception desk is not mandatory for all types of business forms. But, if the firm is directly related to their clients and customers (such as hospitals, private universities), the presence of a reception desk is a must. It would be good decision not to think about the style and design of the table only because such tables need to have good durability.
Panel PartitionsTo add additional beauty to the office environment, the presence of panel partitions can hardly be denied. Basically, they are used to divide the office in different segments but still they can increase the look of the office to a great extent. It has become very essential office furniture now a day.

This review is for the Autumn Harvest
Ok, I suppose I should review this.
This was probably my first completely Steepster-driven purchase. I've never looked forward to trying a new tea more-gobs and gobs of 90+ reviews from independent, knowledgeable reviewers here on Steepster, coming from a small farm, a small service and quality oriented company, blacks my preference-I looked forward to loving this tea.
But I don't.
Today is my 3rd or 4th day I have brewed this tea-hoping at some point I would become enlightened to what everyone else sees in this tea-or just get used to it. And I am kinda used to it, but although familiarity has not bred contempt, neither has it brought love.
I love that it's experimental-tea would be boring without experimentation. This is different tea to be sure-certainly not too much like various Keemuns and Yunnans I have tasted. The dry leaves are rolled tight with some slight bends. They appear to have little aroma unless you take a big inhale, then I get slight chocolatey and floral notes. The leaves are very dark-almost jet black-I was half expecting the liquor to be as dark as black licorice.
Fortunately, liquor was just a deep coppery brown. Brewed leaf aroma is roasty with a slight resemblance to a roasted oolong, a little resemblance to keemun and not sure what else. The first steep flavor is kinda roasted with a touch of chocolate, but not much. Can't really describe the dominant flavor. It's different and just okay. It's very heavy in the mouth, but relatively smooth until it starts to cool when some bitterness appears.
The 2nd steep tastes a little more chocolatey. Can you taste the tannins? Because it feels like I can really taste the tannins. Third steep-the liquor is deep amber colored. It now has a medium heavy mouthfeel. Flavor is improved a little. A touch milder, more grainy perhaps. Also tasting a bit more oolong-ey than previous steeps-especially the aftertaste. Still, nothing too exciting-don't really like oolong anyway. I've done 4 steeps before, but have no notes for a 4th steep. If I have a 4th steep today, I'll edit this note to include the information. There's lot of tannins and caffeine in this tea, and with my reflux, I can't afford 4 steeps of this if all I feel is "Meh, I don't understand all the fuss."
I am happy with my experience buying from Verdant Tea-they are personal, responsive, and committed to quality. They have several other teas that I look forward to trying. I might even try the first flush of this tea-if someone can convince me it's significantly different. But I doubt that I would buy this Autumnal Harvest again.
It's always kind of disappointing when you aren't blown away by these teas everyone else is raving over. It happens to me sometimes too… :)

Love is in the mountain air
On the Peruvian island of Taquile, there's no call for internet dating and the only use for Tinder is to light a fire. This remote community in the middle of Lake Titicaca has its own method for matchmaking...it's all about which side you wear your pompom.
At 3800m above sea level, Taquile is one of 72 islands in the lake and - for those prepared to make the extensive journey to this South American outpost - is well worth a visit.
First, Auckland to Santiago, then Santiago to Lima, followed by an internal flight to the high altitude airport of Juliaca, then a two-hour minivan ride to our final destination, Hotel Titilaka on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
It's not just the jetlag or the altitude that make the journey seem surreal - our senses are assaulted every step of the way; from the bumper-to-bumper traffic in Lima, to the panpipe-playing, colourfully dressed band who entertain as we wait at Juliaca baggage claim, to the stunning scenery of the Andean Altiplano as we drive towards the hotel.
Travelling on the Pan Americanas highway from Juliaca to the lakeside city of Puno, dusty yellow plains stretch into the distance, dotted with mudbrick houses and skinny sheep roaming next to shaggy-haired donkeys.
Allowing plenty of time to acclimatise to the high altitude is recommended but with only a short time to spend in the area our group has gone from Lima, at sea level, straight up to 3800 metres. We're all taking medication to prevent altitude sickness but it still takes a while for the body to acclimatise.
Like a dry slap, the symptoms can hit you out of nowhere. One minute I'm happily dozing, snug in blankets provided by our driver; the next I'm on the verge of passing out, shouting for him to pull over, narrowly avoiding throwing up.
Sitting by the roadside, trying to focus on the fading sunlight on the dusty paddocks, my body feels jittery, struggling for breath. A few sips of sugary coca leaf tea helps (yes, it's the same leaf that cocaine is derived from, but in this form it's legal) and thankfully it's only a short drive further around the winding roads until we reach our home for the next few nights.
"Welcome to Hotel Titilaka. May I take your blood pressure?"
It's not the standard hotel greeting but at this altitude, it's essential. After my roadside episode, I'm not surprised to find my blood pressure is worryingly low.
The staff aren't fazed though - it's a common occurrence and there are complimentary oxygen tanks to hand, from which guests can imbibe freely. You can even have one delivered to your room if you want to lie down while breathing deeply.
We're here for only two nights, which is a shame as Titilaka is one of the most tranquil lodges I've had the pleasure of staying in.
There are windows, viewing platforms and decks everywhere - so all eyes are focused on the shimmering lake. Whatever the time of day, the light always seems perfect - illuminating the breakfast room in the morning, casting romantic shadows at dusk, and allowing uninterrupted stargazing at night.
There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied during the day - excursions to local attractions like the Uros floating islands or closer to home, kayaks, paddleboards, mountain bikes and guided nature walks.
The high altitude means even the simplest task can take your breath away - climbing a flight of stairs leaves me wheezing and light-headed.
But there's a treat waiting when I get there. In my beautifully appointed room, in my cosy bed with sumptuous linen, there are hot water bottles under the covers and somehow - even with temperatures as low as minus 6 degrees Celsius outside - they are still warm when I wake up in the morning.
The hotel has been designed with comfort in mind - at every turn there's a sun-dappled daybed or comfy armchair beside a wood burner - and with only 18 rooms, it's easy to find a solitary space away from other guests.
Excursions are tailored for exclusivity, too. Andean Experience operates itineraries to Hotel Titilaka and its sister property, Hotel B in Lima.
Their aim is to create trips to Peru that are a bit different from the norm - smaller hotels, fewer guests, and more chances to be immersed in the rich local culture without having to battle through crowds of other tourists.
Which is how we end up getting a lesson in love on Taquile island. With the hotel's whitewashed walls glinting in the morning sun against the carved mountain terrain, we head out by boat across the lake.
Titicaca covers an area of 8300 square kilometres with 60 per cent situated in Peru and the other 40 per cent belonging to neighbouring Bolivia. The highest navigable lake in the world, it is also known as the sacred lake of the Incas.
On average, it's 100m deep, but in places it can reach depths of 300-400m. A striking dark blue, the area is home to 70 different bird species and plenty of fish, including a very tasty rainbow trout found on Titilaka's daily changing dinner menu.
We moor on the southern side of the island. This is the furthest point from Puno, a gateway city used by many tourists as a starting point for exploring the lake.
Those who do visit Taquile usually head to the main town on the northern side, so we have this landing point to ourselves.
Our oxygen-deprived lungs huff and puff up hillside steps to reach a vivid green field where weaver Juan and his family greet us.
The men wear black pants, white shirts and bolero jackets; the women sport cream cardigans, colourful woven cummerbund-like belts and indigo skirts full with petticoats, their inky black hair hanging down their backs in one plait.
Our guide, Armando, explains the heritage and traditions of this proud culture. Who knew so much meaning could be attached to hats and pompoms?
He explains that the hat worn by Taquile's residents is called a chullo and it's not just for keeping warm - it can also be used to indicate mood.
If the pompom is worn to the right it means the wearer is happy, to the left means unhappy, if it hangs behind the head, it means they are feeling neutral. A red hat means a person is married; a red and white hat means they are single. Widows revert to red and white hats when their partner dies.
If a single woman adds big colourful pompoms to the end of her hat, she is signalling her availability. If a man takes interest, he can't just ask her out - he must first pass a test set by her parents to prove he is a worthy suitor.
Never mind bunches of flowers - on an island where textiles are of great importance, his dating task involves weaving.
The island's young Romeos must weave a hat and present it to the prospective girl's parents. The father fills the hat with water - if it's woven tightly enough to hold liquid without leaking, it proves he is a talented craftsman and a worthy match.
The father then tightly rolls the hat - if it stands up straight without drooping, it's also a good sign. The innuendo is not lost on Armando, who delivers this last line with a bashful smile.
The girl has to prove her worth too. She must weave a belt for her suitor incorporating 12 icons depicting the 12 months of the year.
Possibly the hardest task of all, however - and one I'm sure would put the fear of God into women all over the world - is cooking a meal for her mother-in-law. If the pair pass all of these tests, then they are deemed a good match.
Who knows, Armando's stories might be embellished to entertain the visitors, but one thing's for sure - when he is finished and the residents lay out woven handicrafts for us to buy, there's a strong interest from the tourists in the pompom-adorned chullos.
So if you see anyone with a bright, colourful pompom hanging jauntily to the left of their red and white hat this winter, you'll know they're happy, single and looking for love. Who needs Tinder anyway?

Getting there: LAN Airlines has seven direct flights each week from Auckland to Santiago, Chile, with onward connections to Lima, Peru – the gateway to Lake Titicaca.
For more information or to book, contact travel agents, call LAN reservations on 0800 451 373 or visit lan.com.
Staying there: In Lima, we stayed at the delightful Hotel B in the bohemian district of Barranco. A 1920s Belle Epoque-style mansion boasting Italian marble, exotic woods, high ceilings and expansive terraces, it has been restored and reopened in mid-2013. As well as luxury accommodation, Hotel B houses a comprehensive art collection and is linked to the Lucia de la Puente Gallery, where guests can also browse.
Due to flight delays we arrived too late to truly enjoy the hotel's claw-foot baths and cloud-like beds but had a welcome night's rest before leaving for Lake Titicaca and a longer stay at Hotel Titilaka.

text: By BOBBY WARRENStaff WriterRITTMAN -- With cuts in state funding, a struggling economy and fewer dollars in which to work, local public officials have struggled with how to make ends meet. Rittman was no exception.Looking for ways to add revenue to its coffers, council members created Rittman Township in 2011, though whether it will lead to more money in the city's general fund has yet to be resolved.Rittman Township was established on Dec. 31, 2011, and in so doing, the city detached itself from Milton and Chippewa townships. State law grants cities the right to detach and create their own townships. Villages wanting to do so need the approval of their boards of county commissioners.Councilman Lynn Beaumont was the first to speak publicly about looking into the matter. He said in April 2011 the city needed to be proactive in dealing with finances and recommended two things: Explore creating a township and consider what do with the city's income tax credit. The former has been completed, and council has just begun to explore the latter.Finance Director Barbara Rissland originally estimated the creation of the township could lead to anywhere from $34,000-$46,00 in revenue from property taxes paid to Milton Township, which is referred to as inside, or unvoted, millage.But there are a couple of caveats. In Ohio, the total amount of inside millage cannot exceed 10 mills. Also, other political subdivisions could also request available inside millage, too.Wayne County Auditor Jarra Underwood informed City Manager Larry Boggs in a letter there would be no changes to property taxes for 2012."For (the) 2012 calendar year the millage will be levied as it was in the past," Underwood wrote. "When the (Wayne County) Budget Commission hears budgets in August we will make a decision on the millage for next year and prepare the 'Resolution Accepting Rates' accordingly."Determining whether inside millage is available is not a simple matter, Underwood said. Before the creation of the township, Rittman residents resided in four taxing districts, involving two townships (Milton and Chippewa) and three school districts (Rittman, Chippewa and Norwayne).While there is now only one township, Rittman Township, there are still three school districts. Underwood will have to make sure a request for inside millage from the city does not cause any of the taxing districts to rise about the 10 mills."When looking at it, I have to look at all of the taxing districts touched," Underwood said.Also, the Budget Commission will have to approve any new inside millage. The political subdivisions that can make requests of inside millage are the county, townships, cities, villages and schools.While city officials will not know whether it will receive additional property tax revenue, they still felt it was the right decision.During discussions with the Milton Township trustees, Rissland asked if any of the tax money raised from Rittman residents was spent within the city limits. She was told no, but roads leading into the city used by residents were repaired with some of the money.If the city does not receive any inside millage, then property owners might see a slight reduction in the amount of inside millage assessed.However, Councilman Rick Hanlon approved of the formation of the new township because some business owners along Sheets Road were paying for a Chippewa Township fire levy even though they received services from Rittman.Reporter Bobby Warren can be reached at 330-287-1639 or email@example.com.

im 30 years old when the hell can i live my own life (advice please)
Anyway I guess my mom said something to my sister A who asked E why I wasn't invited. So I just got a call from A explaining why I wasn't invited & that E didn't mean to exclude me, but was thinking about who was close to her husband & money, blah, blah, blah. E said I'm more then welcome to come just let her know. I'm so freaking embarassed now & I DIDN'T EVEN CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE! What would you do in this situation? Should I say something to my mom?
just tell your mom that you dont appreciate what she did and ask that in the future she let you handle stuff. If you felt you needed to say something you would have which obviously you didnt feel the need because like you said you probably wouldnt have been able to go in the first place.
i know how embarassing it is cause my sister does it to me all the time so i just stopped telling her about it. I always ended up feeling awkward because i know after my sister said something to whoever it was, they only invited me because they felt obligated and that made me feel like an unwelcomed pity guest. And i felt obligated to go since everyone was now going out of their way to invite me. like i said, i just stopped saying anything to anyone if i get left out of stuff.
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
I agree .. you could call & let them know it was not a big deal to you :)
Its your decision, if you want to go! If it was me, I would think it through, make a decision to go or stay home! Family's can be a problem at times, its up to us to make those difficult decisions when our family is involved! We will always make someone unhappy in our family!
Tell me, I can come after -Family said something ?
She could " kiss my ASS " !!!!!
be honest with E that while you appreciate it you understand her reasoning and decline. explain that your mother and sister took it upon themselves to inquire about the situation. and maybe tell mom and sis that you mean what you say and ask that they not do that again in the future
I would. But then it's taken me the better part of my 22yr marriage to speak up.
Speak up..you owe it to yourself to be heard and not passively teach your children to be a doormat. (like I did)
Did you tell her "hey, sorry about that but mom thinks i should be invited to everything cause she still thinks am 12 lol either way i can't make it" make a joke, don't make it a big deal, there are other things am sure you can stress over that are worse than that... mom's are going to be mom's no matter what, we just have constantly remind them that your grown...

Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 Mobile: Merom at long last!
The T7400 Processor
The T7400 Core 2 Duo processor we are looking at today uses the exact same pin package as the Yonah CPU. You will find that these new mobile Core 2 Duos will fit into old Yonah laptops, but not every motherboard will be able to run it due to changes in voltages. We will be plugging in the T7400 into a wide selection of laptops from Asus and Dell in the future to see if we have any success getting the systems to run.
The Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 on the left, and the Core Duo T2600 on the right.
The Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 on the left, and the Core Duo T2600 on the right.
The CPU we received is an engineering sample devoid of any product markings aside from Intel serial numbers. The T7400 has a slightly larger CPU core, but otherwise looks nearly identical including the traces seen on the processor's surface.
Of course the CPU is only one part of the equation, the other part is the laptop that it goes into. Here we have an unbranded Asus Z96 laptop that came preloaded with a Core Duo T2600 processor.
By removing the cover on the back, we gain easy access to the CPU. A few screws and some thermal paste applied the T7400 has a new home.
The motherboard on the Asus Z96 is your standard Intel "Calistoga" i945PM mobile motherboard, so it'd be interesting to see which of the laptops in our lab is capable of running this CPU as well. We will be testing this in a later article as we revisit the T7400 with an updated BIOS.

Starz Presented sessions on "Boss" and Encore's "The Crimson Petal and the White" for the Television Critics Association today. Starz CEO Chris Albrecht opened with a few announcements and took some questions about the network and its other original series productions.
"We are in production on 'Da Vinci's Demons,' about to start [the] second season 'Magic City' and in preproduction in South Africa on 'Black Sails,'" Albrecht began.
We went ahead and asked Albrecht about "Black Sails," the pirate series produced by Michael Bay. Pirate movies have been difficult productions for Hollywood, let alone a weekly series. We asked if developments from "Spartacus" like green screen would help with "Black Sails."
"Yes, I think all of the innovations that have happened in film and television are going to help accomplish something really unique on 'Black Sails,'" Albrecht said. "We're certainly not going to be doing what we did on 'Spartacus' which is shoot all interiors. One of the reasons to go to South Africa is we can create great standing sets, both interior and exterior, and actually create a great water set outside, allow us to build a boat and probably another ship to bring that world to life."
Having Bay in your corner helps too. Albrecht joked that the economic rates between South Africa and the U.S. added production value too. "For whatever reason, everything we're trying to do is incredibly ambitious and this is certainly in that category, but with the talent of the team, the plan, I think the opportunities to really maximize our spend in South Africa, and we got lucky on our currency exchange with the rand."
Then the question about the end of "Spartacus" came up. Starz' flagship original series went through the most difficult tragedy imaginable when star Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with cancer. To give him time to recover, Starz added a prequel miniseries to the show, but ultimately had to recast the role with Liam McIntyre. They've announced the third season will be the show's last. Albrecht said it was a creative decision, one he saw coming in the first season, before any outside factors came into play.
"I joined Starz when we were editing the first season of the show. When I saw the end of the first season, I thought uh oh, they just exited the franchise which was the ludus and the upstairs/downstairs aspect of the show and now they're in the movie. I think the producers and those of us at Starz were always well aware that this was going to be a very different show once the rebels were in the hills and the Romans were in the town. Then of course we had the tragedy with Andy which made everything very difficult and pushed back."
Rather than prolong the drama to stretch the story into multiple seasons, Albrecht suggested the series creators end with a big finish. "The show has been remarkably successful. Ultimately the producers agreed with us, rather than trying to string out a story, one more battle or one more argument between the rebels or one more villain show up, we would follow the trajectory of the history and bring the Spartacus story to fruition."
Albrecht also confirmed that "Spartacus" producer Steven S. DeKnight would continue developing series with "Starz." In doing so, he gave a status report and ambitious description of DeKnight's next series, "Incursion."
"Steven De Knight has an overall deal with Starz. He just returned this weekend from Hawaii where he shot a proof of concept piece, not a pilot, just a scene or two for a show that he's developed that we are very high on called 'Incursion,' a sci-fi piece. Kind of 'Band of Brothers' meets Halo would be the one line of it. It's incredibly ambitious, involves a lot of creature work and stuff like that. Steve' s a sensational writer and as good as anyone I've ever met at writing for premium television."
"Black Sails" and another highly anticipated Starz series, "DaVinci's Demons" have tentative air dates.
"'Da Vinci's Demons' will be on most likely second quarter, end of first quarter/2nd quarter 2013 most likely. Nothing announced yet or set in stone. 'Black Sails' 2014, hopefully very early, potentially in the 'Spartacus' slot. Again nothing set, just letting you in on some of our thinking."
Fans are excited about the next Sam Raimi/Robert Tapert, "Noir," based on the anime series. Albrecht informed us of some development issues, but remained confident.
"'Noir' we ran into some creative challenges on the script side but it is absolutely in our zone. So we're still getting the scripts together but I'm very confident that 'Noir' will be on. I can't tell you when."
Similarly, Starz's announced "Marco Polo" series is also facing development difficult, but more from a production side. "'Marco Polo' which we had announced and which the scripts are absolutely fantastic. The challenge of making this show in China has proved to be as formidable as we've feared. It's not like making a movie in China where once you load up and leave, you're gone. We have to be able to capture something that feels like a feature film on a TV budget and hopefully season after season. We are taking more time than I think the producers thought. I don't have any news on that because we're still in the planning stage."
The original miniseries "The Crimson Petal and the White" airs on Encore. This represents Albrecht's plan for originals on both networks, with distinct agendas. Encore would be a venue to air foreign series in the states.
"We decided to broaden Encore by adding original programming. There are a lot of great opportunities to be associated with programming that might have been started elsewhere as 'Crimson Pedal' was in the UK. Our main strategy for Encore is to go for those kinds of acquisitions. We're going to have year round classic miniseries and new [ones.]

Is it just me, or does the world seem like it has turned into a powder keg that's getting ready to explode?
Trouble in the Middle East. Trouble in Russia. Trouble in Africa. Trouble on the U.S.-Mexican border.
Trouble, trouble, trouble, everywhere you look.
Not that trouble is anything new. It has been around since time began.
But I am noticing a trend that I haven't seen to this extent in my lifetime: Much of the trouble around the globe seems to be rooted in religion.
And that is troubling in itself. Because history has shown that religious differences don't always end peacefully.
There are many red-hot situations around the world with religious implications.
n You have the situation in Gaza, where Jews and Muslims are at each other's throats.
n You have the situation in Sudan, where Islamists are bent on wiping out the Christian population.
n And you have the situation in Iraq, where Christians in the ancient city of Mosul have been given three choices: to convert to Islam, pay a fee for protection from authorities or flee. Nearly all have chosen the latter option.
These examples are given just to name a few.
News coverage, as it nearly always does when it comes to religious differences, has focused almost exclusively on tensions involving Israel and its hostile neighbors in Gaza.
However, as noted above, there is plenty more religion-based violence that warrants coverage.
Christians in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific and China are being persecuted at an alarming rate.
But don't look for coverage of the persecution of Christians on network news programs. For whatever reason, it seems to be off-limits as far as coverage is concerned.
It seems news outlets are quite willing cover an injustice against one group but not against another, turning their collective heads and pretending not to see it.
There was a blip on the radar in this regard a week or so ago when news outlets were reporting the last of the Christians were being forced out of Mosul, one of Christianity's most ancient communities.
There were 100,000 of them living there a decade ago, but after the Iraq War in the early 2000s, the heat got turned up a few notches, and Christians have been forced to flee the area in droves.
Though Iraq is home to different factions within Islam, Christians lived in the Mosul area for the past 2,000 years. Though living under restrictions as a religious minority, never, until now, have they been forced to leave.
In Iraq and many other areas where people are being persecuted only because of their faith in Jesus Christ, the atrocities are extreme. But you'd never know it by watching the network news.
It is one thing for the media to resist talking about sad state of affairs facing Christians in many nations around the globe, but what is even more astounding is how many churches in the United States keep silent on this entire topic. I visit my fair share of churches and rarely, if ever, do I hear the topic brought up during a sermon or even a prayer.
It seems churches in the United States, whether they mean to or not, are turning a deaf ear to pleas for help from their fellow Christians who are being persecuted around the world.
The church, quite frankly, can't wait on the president or Congress to take action in this regard — not when they haven't shown a desire to do so in the past and have given no signs they plan to do so in the future.
In a published report, Bishop Yousif Habash, who now lives in Elizabeth, N.J., but was formerly from Qaraqosh, a city located 15 miles from Mosul, lays out the crisis for those who have ears to hear: "Christians throughout the Middle East have been targeted, and we are on the verge of being exterminated. The West stepped in to stop the ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims and Kosovar Muslims, so we know it can be done. The West must step in now and save the Middle East's Christians, or we will be wiped out."
The question becomes what, if any, action will be taken to aid Iraq's persecuted Christians? Or those in other nations around the world?
Trouble rooted in religion won't begin to cease until all nations ensure basic human rights — including freedom of religion without repercussions — for all people.
It sounds too good to be true, and frankly, I'm not sure that day will ever come.
