Custom gadgets, media players & phone accessories
Branded Electronics and Gadgets: Corporate Gifts Your Employees Will Love: Electronics and gadgets make great employee or client gifts, because people love to receive those items to use in the office or at home. If you are gifting your employees with plain corporate gifts, then you are missing out on an opportunity to strengthen the brand of your company.
To help the employee feel more loyalty for the company, give them something they can actually use.
Why Branded is Better
Branded electronics make great corporate gifts, and they allow you to show appreciation for the employee and spread your brand at the same time. These branded items are often used at their home and in public settings, which means that your company logo and brand are moving around where ever the employee goes.
Additionally, employees can feel a sense of pride each time they see the company logo. They will remember the nice gift they received from the company, and feel more commitment towards their job.
Printing Options
You can choose any of the office items available here on our website, and we will print your company information on the items. We have quality designers who can help you to create a good design if needed, or you can provide us with your pre-designed graphics.
Depending on the item, your logo may be printed or laser engraved, based on the materials that are being used. The printing can be done in black and white, or we also have other colours available for certain types of printing.
Quality and Selection
Here at Dynamic Gift, our goal is to provide you with a large selection of corporate electronics, at a price that you can afford. Our specialty is providing custom printed items, and we are fully committed to quality and excellence on every product that we sell.
Some of the branded gadgets that are available include: speakers, mobile phone accessories, chargers, mp3 players, fold-out tablet keyboards, USB drives, and many other options to choose from. We can help you to identify that items that will be useful for your employees.
Providing a useful item means that your employee will be more likely to use it on an ongoing basis. For example, a mini power bank is compact and easy to carry around, and it is a great tool to charge a phone or tablet on the go. You can print your company logo on the power bank, which builds a stronger brand for your company every time an employee pulls out their power bank to keep their mobile device charged and operable.
Electronics are some of the most useful items to give away, because people understand the value in those items. Small trinkets and novelty gifts might be set aside eventually if the employee doesn't have a long-term need for those items. But, electronics can be used on an ongoing basis, which means that the employee is likely to hold onto it for a longer period of time.
We are Here to Help
Dynamic Gifts is one of the leading promotional product providers in New Zealand. We are based in Auckland, NZ and we offer fast service and rush delivery if needed. You can have the peace of mind to know that you are getting a high quality product, because all of the electronics items that we sell come with a 10 year warranty on manufacturing.
Our specialty is providing custom printing or laser engraving on various items, to help you brand your company. Contact us today, and you can start working with one of our designers to create the perfect electronic items to give away to your employees and clients.

Winter-weary northerners take heart: There's actually a silver lining to all this record snow, ice and bone-chilling cold.
Portions of the Midwest and the East Coast extending up to Canada pummeled by a few rounds of polar vortexes stand to see cold weather-related benefits everywhere from the produce aisle to their pocketbook.
As The Great Lakes approach record levels of ice cover, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is anticipating a 13-inch rise in water levels when the frozen stuff finally melts that could ultimately translate into a $40 million in savings for consumers.
Roy Deda with the USACE told CBS Chicago higher water levels means ships can make fewer trips by carrying more cargo. Deda said less water "ends up increasing [stores'] costs because they are not able to carry as much in the ship due to the low lake levels."

I wanted to get started on placing the applique pieces on a giant dahlia quilt and I didn't have any freezer paper, which I was going to try for the first time. So, I just printed the patterns on normal printer paper, cut them out, and was going to pin to the material.
As I was laying them out I thought of how spray starch made the fabric stick so... I sprayed the material with a light coat of starch and laid the paper pieces on the wet fabric. I pressed the paper pieces to the wet fabric with my fingers just to make sure it had good contact. I let it dry for several minutes and then gently ironed it. It sticks just enough!! I put in one pin to make sure and cut out the fabric pieces.
I found that the iron has to be on medium, the paper sticks to the iron if it is too hot. Don't get the fabric too wet with starch or the paper can tear. Let it dry until just barely damp before ironing. Press instead of ironing at first so it doesn't tear or move the paper.

Sentiment Shifts to Leave - By a Margin
There is now no doubt that Leave has moved ahead in the polls. Betfair briefly gave Remain only a 55% chance of winning.
Brexit may even have achieved momentum. However, the lead is slight, it depends on voter turnout and it is now faced with an onslaught from the Labour Establishment which will no doubt persuade a number of tribal wobblers to stick with the devil they think they know. But what is happening under the bonnet? Does a Labour Party that resolutely refuses to talk about immigration have any credibility with the relatively low paid in the economic front line?
There is not an enormous change in party support other than that the Liberal Democrats appear to be returning to their Remain roots. Northerners and the Welsh also seem to be more likely to Remain than they did a week or so ago (the Welsh having lost their appetite for Leave, no doubt, as the Labour Party starts putting some pressure on its core supporters). The Leave surge appears to be a matter of class politics that cuts across all other categories even in Scotland where we definitely see a rise in Leave sentiment which does not surprise us from recent anecdotal evidence.
The shift in sentiment is centred on the skilled and unskilled working class. This may be pushed a little further along by the Sun's early endorsement. A Labour spokesperson was dismissive of its effect on the radio earlier today while other Labour people seem to think that there is no working class left at all. Yet a significant number of young voters are also having second thoughts about Remain even if there is a corresponding drop in older voter support for Leave - no doubt on 'pension scares' and on market fears, areas where they have more of an immediate stake.
All things being equal, the Prime Minister's economic scare strategy would have worked if it had not been for the cultural and economic resentments of lower income groups in both Scotland and England. Here is the elephant in the room - the political effects of 'free movement of labour' on the most economically vulnerable, ignored for ideological reasons on the Left. How very frustrating this must be to Remain campaigners. Strip out the fears of the working class and they would be walking to victory by now. They had assumed those fears were containable as 'nutty UKIP'.
Remain have only nine days to win sufficient lower income voters, having taken them for granted for far too long. The Government is forced to rely on an uncharismatic Labour Party just as a number of interesting working-class-directed Labour politicians have backed Leave (both from the Left such as Skinner and Cryer and from the Right such as Mann and Field) while the charismatic Boris, the cheeky chappy, exudes noblesse oblige and offers a rather lively celebrity politics on his battle bus. Wisely, Remain quickly dropped its daft strategy of targeting him personally.
Will the Great Unwashed thwart the 'enrichissez-vous' desires of the middle class and have to be taught a lesson with a second referendum? Some experienced local political activists, based on personal canvassing, are already convinced that the will to vote is there in working class Brexiters. Some even expect a 'landslide' in defiance of the pollsters, much as we saw with Labour in 1997. We would not go so far. Remain might just haul themselves back from the brink on economic fears. But anyone reading this should dust off their Brexit Plan B and not be complacent.

This afternoon I was cleaning up my desk and ran across the business card of someone from BookSurge - and that got my gears grinding.
BookSurge is an Amazon company that helps people self-publish their books. They offer editorial, marketing, and print-on-demand services for people who (for whatever reason) won't get published by an established publishing house. This is a burgeoning market and one where BookSurge has many competitors.
In fact, according the the Under the Radar Study by BISG back in 2005, aggregated sales of books from publishers who (individually) have less that $1 Million in annual revenue, is estimated to be nearly $3 Billion per year. That's a pretty big market to service, especially if you have way of taking a significant chunk of that $3 Billion for yourself.
From BookSurge's website, they even say the following:
Not only can BookSurge help you create a high-quality, highly marketable book, we can also provide you with exclusive tools and resources to help you gain exposure, develop an audience, and build readership for your work.
Exclusive tools? Like maybe we can distribute your titles through Kindle, and we won't take any from other self-publishers? That's a pretty big exclusivity factor for an author thinking of self-publishing.
food for thought.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is Tara's all time favourite book. Our bedtime routine is one book by mummy and one book by daddy and most nights this book will be the choice for mummy and daddy to read so after searching online i found this great activity around the book to enhance fine motor skills and listening skills of course!
Basically you print out the activity, laminate it and hole punch each item. The worm is made of a pipe cleaner and as you read the book your child can find the food and get the worm to eat (thread through) it. Lots of fun!!!

Road construction begins
Work began Monday on Kermit Drive from US 70 to 13th Street, through the Towne Center shopping center. The $864,000 Texas Department of Transportation project will provide better access to the Walmart Supercenter area for northbound traffic after I-27 service roads in the area were reconfigured to one-way traffic. Pavement is being milled before the roadway is repaved and resurfaced. Project contractor is J.L. Milligan, Inc., and the work is expected to be completed by midsummer 2015. Motorists traveling to Walmart from US 70 are advised to use Mesa Drive to avoid the construction.

One morning whilst browsing the online newspapers, I came across an article that really jumped out at me. For years I have been an armchair warrior against counterfeit make up and those companies who sell it. The full Daily Mail article can be found here and it underlines how unwitting consumers may be buying counterfeit goods, and not truly knowing about what is contained within that MAC packaging.
I have been building up my MAC collection for several years, and as an avid MAC-aholic, I am able to spot if a MAC product doesn't look genuine or is a colour or style that has never been in production. As I am such a fan, I know that I would never be caught out by buying counterfeit MAC products as I know my MAC, but it does lead to me to think that there must be so many other make up lovers out there who think they know but aren't too sure. Hopefully this blog post may help in you being able to decide if a MAC product is fake or genuine.
MAC Cosmetics are only sold through official MAC stores or concessions within department stores. In the UK, these can be found in places like Debenhams, House of Fraser and Selfridges with stand alone stores in London and Liverpool. MAC do not sell wholesale nor do they sell to third party sellers.
A full MAC brush collection would set you back in the region of £600. A few Christmases ago, an acquaintance of mine was selling off full MAC brush sets for £30. The MAC 187 costs more than this alone! How upsetting for that poor person to wake up on Christmas day with a full set of cheap, shedding, counterfeit MAC brushes. I would rather have no brushes, than use the counterfeit.
For your information also, MAC do not sell brush pouches like this, nor do they sell full sets of brushes. All brushes are individually packaged and sold separately.
The biggest annoyance to me is the sale of the palettes with 88 colours. These palettes have been circulating for a while, and many have been available from China. They are readily available on eBay and Amazon with staggering cheap prices for so many eyeshadows in one palette. The only palette with 88 colours that I would buy is the one by Crown Brush. MAC have never ever produced an 88 palette, especially one that looks like this.
Nor have they produced something as cheap and tacky looking as this…
Have you seen how badly packaged and fake looking the lashes are? I think these are my favourite fake copy!
A further article has also has also highlighted the fakes appearing masquerading under top brand names like Benefit, Bare Minerals and Lancome.
Whilst it may appear that you could be getting a bargain, you could be putting your skin and health at risk. Cosmetic companies have to go through rigorous checks to ensure that the genuine make up that you purchase is fit for human use and complies with health and safety rulings. With the huge amount of counterfeit make up hitting sites such as Amazon and eBay, and also market stalls and car boots, under the pretence of a big name brand, you could be putting anything on your skin. You wouldn't choose to rub chemicals on your skin, so how do you know what these counterfeit products contain. It is not worth the risk.
The best thing for everyone to do is spread the word about the dangers of counterfeit make up. The more people who are aware of the risk would help stop the sales of counterfeit. A bargain is not going to be a bargain when you are sat in A&E, being pumped full of antibiotics because your face has swelled up to twice its size.
Research on counterfeit make up have found that these fakes have contained high levels of cadmium, copper, lead, mercury and arsenic. Isn't that a scary thought to know that you are unwittingly putting that near your eyes? It was also found that the stabilisers in some counterfeit products had been replaced by urine. Eww.
If you ever find a product online that you think is a total bargain, think twice. Look at sellers feedback, and look at how many other products that they have for sale. If still in doubt, ask the seller for close ups of batch numbers. You can check these with the brand if necessary. If you are still in doubt, save your money and buy it from a reputable retailer. I'm sure that your beautifully packaged product makes you feel so much better when you know its genuine, bought from your favourite shop and knowing that is real is worth the money. You can't put a price on that.
This post may contain PR samples that have been sent to me for consideration for review however all my opinions will be my own. The links in the post my be affiliate links which will earn a small amount of commission should you shop my recommendations.

Test Match Cricket
1st Test in Pune – India v Australia
Aussie spinners at home on Indian soil
Australia have won a huge victory rolling back the years to a performance that looked like one of past glories as they thrashed India in Pune. Australia's first innings score of 260 look precarious with Matt Renshaw top scoring with 68 and Umesh Yadav taking four wickets. The bowling star however was to come from the Australians as Steve O'Keefe took India apart taking 6 wickets as India collapsed to 105 all out.
The second innings was almost de ja vous. Steve Smith got a century but there was not much support As Australia added 285 and Ravichandran Ashwin this time took 4 wickets. It was far too much for India as O'Keefe took 6 more wickets and Nathan Lyon joined in the fun0 taking the other four.as the Aussie spinners dominated with India only getting 2 more than their first innings. A huge 333 run win for Australia on a pitch that was later criticised by the ICC. India were very confident going into this series, it will have been dented after this poor batting showing.

There are many reasons why I'm currently hunting for a semi-affordable PS4, and Nioh is one of them. The game looks fantastic, and fellow Souls fan Matt (Vice) gave it a very respectable score in his review.
Those of you who loved the game will be happy to learn that its second DLC pack, titled Defiant Honor, has finally been detailed, and will be out later this month.
"Defiant Honor takes us to Osaka Castle, the largest and most impregnable castle of Sengoku era," explains Team Ninja's Tom Lee on the PlayStation blog. "This add-on features the legendary warrior Sanada Yukimura, serving Tokugawa Ieyasu's archenemy Toyotomi clan, who values honour above all else."
"As tensions brew between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans, Sanada Yukimura prepares his men for imminent conflict against the Tokugawa's forces by building a stronghold called the Sanada Maru on the outskirts of the Osaka Castle. With the castle fortified, Tokugawa's forces were faced with a difficult and bloody challenge. In the midst of this chaos, our hero William, accompanied by Date Masamune who fights alongside Tokugawa, head towards Sanada Maru in pursuit of Maria. It is a bitter winter in Osaka and the stage is ripe for a fierce battle for the ages. Bundle up and get ready for a brutal winter showdown!"
Along with all that, the DLC will also add the new Tonfa weapon, new guardian spirits and Yokai, enemies, armour, magic items, new stages, "numerous" side missions, and some other stuff which you can check out here.
Nioh: Defiant Honor will be out on 25 July, and is priced at 9.99 euros (R154).

Ohio University trustees
approve medical college name change
Heritage College of
Osteopathic Medicine recognizes historic
$105 million gift
OH – June 24, 2011)
The Ohio University Board of Trustees
today officially changed the name of the
Ohio University College of Osteopathic
Medicine to the Ohio University Heritage
College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM).
The name change recognizes the historic,
transformative $105 million gift to the
medical school from the Osteopathic
Heritage Foundations announced in April.
"The Ohio University College of
Osteopathic Medicine has developed a
vision for the future of health care
education that builds upon its strengths
and also addresses some of the most
pressing health care issues faced by our
communities, including the impending
shortage of primary care physicians,"
said Richard A. Vincent, president and
CEO of the Osteopathic Heritage
The gift is designed to address the
growing need for primary care
physicians, especially in rural and
underserved areas in Ohio and the
nation. "Given the urgent needs in
health care, like an impending shortage
of primary care physicians and a
burgeoning epidemic of diabetes and
related illnesses, the time was right
and the choice of a recipient was
clear," Vincent said.
In order to achieve these goals, the
gift is earmarked for several
significant initiatives planned by
OU-HCOM, including the creation of an
OU-HCOM regional extension campus in
Columbus and a related increased class
size. The gift will also be used to help
build a new Diabetes/Endocrine Clinical
Treatment Research Center and a new
facility for the Ohio Musculoskeletal
and Neurological Institute, both on the
Athens campus. The final components of
the award will fund a major
transformation of the college's
curriculum, and provide money for new
scholarships and loan forgiveness
programs for graduates who practice in
underserved areas.
The Heritage College of Osteopathic
Medicine becomes the fourth named
college at Ohio University, joining the
Russ College of Engineering, the Scripps
College of Communication, and the Patton
College of Education.
"We are especially honored to carry this
name because the Osteopathic Heritage
Foundations arose from Doctors Hospital
in Columbus, one of our college's first
and most loyal supporters," said OU-HCOM
Dean Jack Brose, D.O. With the new name,
Brose said, the college is poised to
achieve even greater national prominence
and heights of excellence in research
and health care delivery.
"We have had a very long and valuable
relationship with the Osteopathic
Heritage Foundations," Brose said. "They
have been central to many of the
exciting things that we have done as a
medical school."
"This historic gift from the Osteopathic
Heritage Foundations will forever change
Ohio University and our College of
Osteopathic Medicine," said Roderick J.
McDavis, Ph.D., Ohio University
president. "We are grateful to the
Osteopathic Heritage Foundations for
their commitment, which will
dramatically broaden our ability to
improve the human condition of the
people of Ohio. This gift will transform
The Osteopathic Heritage Foundations
were first established in 1961
with the incorporation of the Doctors
Hospital Foundation, a supporting
organization of Doctors Hospital in
Columbus. The Foundations owned and
operated Doctors Hospitals in Columbus
and Nelsonville. This valued hospital
system, anchored by the acute care
facilities in Columbus and Nelsonville,
grew into one of the nation's leading
osteopathic post-graduate medical
education centers.
In the mid 1990s, the Foundations'
boards of directors in Columbus and
Nelsonville considered if the
communities-at-large and osteopathic
medicine would be better served through
philanthropic organizations that had the
financial strength and commitment to
improve health and quality of life
locally and to advance the principles
and practices of osteopathic medicine
locally, statewide and nationally.
In 1998, the boards approved a sale
transaction for the hospital's assets to
become part of OhioHealth, a large,
local, highly respected nonprofit
healthcare system that committed to
retain the community services and
osteopathic traditions upon which the
hospitals had been established. Since
then, the Foundations have made a
commitment to support local health
initiatives as well as statewide and
national enhancements to osteopathic
medical education and osteopathic
medical research.
Those initiatives included a commitment
to quality of life and health care
issues in central and southeastern Ohio
through financial support for many
initiatives, programs and organizations,
including OU-HCOM. During the past five
years, in addition to the most recent
gift, the Osteopathic Heritage
Foundations have provided Ohio
University and the HCOM with funding to
help build the new Osteopathic Heritage
Foundations and Charles R. and Marilyn
Stuckey Academic and Research Center,
and the new Heritage Clinical Training
and Assessment Center and Community
Clinic, both on the Athens campus.
Vincent predicted that the gift will
enable the medical school to become
nationally prominent in medical
education, research and providing
quality health care to Ohio. "With new
facilities and programs – in Athens and
soon in central Ohio – serving
exceptional students and faculty – we
expect to witness exceptional
accomplishments," he said.
According to a Chronicle of Higher
Education report published in March
detailing gifts given to universities
and colleges since 1968, the Osteopathic
Heritage Foundations' award:
is the largest gift given to a higher
education institution in Ohio;
is the fourth largest gift in 2011 to an
institution of higher education in the
is the fourth largest gift ever given to
a U.S. medical school; and
ranks among the top 50 gifts ever given
to a higher education institution in the

Lands End rarely suits me on an aesthetic level, and there clothes are far and above out of my budget, but my mother raised me on the notion that they are made to last. Oh, how she loved their overstocks catalog. The little me got a lot of dresses and shirts with ponies on them that way.
Ahem. More importantly, this suitcase. I'm such a sucker for vintage luggage. It's plastic and lightweight, but it seems pretty sturdy. I needed to replace the suitcase I bring back and forth on the train anyway. The perfect size for snacks, books, and a blanket! Inevitably, buying this ($3!!!) suitcase led to thinking about going back to school. I'm excited to get the semester rolling. I leave on the 30th.

The year is 1888. The "Sioux City Party" is traveling through Dakota Territory aboard a Tally-Ho Stage Coach. By November of this same year, the territory was divided into the U.S. states of North Dakota and South Dakota. Here, the party enjoys a rest stop at Hot Springs, an area frequented by the Sioux and Cheyenne, due to its refreshing warm waters. We don't think of native tribes taking vacations – but, they often came here to relax, just as tourists do today.

Beautiful dark dun skin from our genetic hackle mature hens. These skins are packed full of hundreds of feathers.
Posted by Steve B. on 9th Mar 2015
I recently bought a Dark Dun Hen, and have to say it's the most beautiful, best-tying hen neck I've seen. Feathers are very full, with a high feather count. The stems are then and pliable, and wind perfectly. I showed it to friends, who now intend to order from Clearwater.

"Does it work on a touch screen?"
Why, yes, as a matter of fact, it does!
After being in this business for a number of years, I can tell you that there are just about as many ways of taking attendance as there are organizations in the world. When I started, I didn't even realize all the different ways attendance could be taken with a computer, and customers keep surprising me on the innovative methods they come up with.
Some swear by the old-fashioned way: scratch your name off a list with a pencil. Others have a dedicated staff member for attendance. Some give their members a password and allow themselves to sign in on the computer. Bar code readers, card swipers, and even fingerprint readers are in common use. And touch screens. Some organizations like to set up kiosks around their facilities and have members just point at their names to sign in.
The whole mobile space is also exploding. This makes sense, because not all of your events will be in a building or a classroom. Field trips and other activities make iPads and other mobile devices very handy.
So which platform will best attendance run on? All of them!
It's web based so it runs in your browser. Browsers free you from all sorts of complicated hardware requirements that you had in the past. Give it a try with a free 14 day trial today.

Thrilling Racing and Great Fun
The aim of the Go Racing Kids Club Education day is to educate the younger generation on horse racing and show them what happens behind the scenes at the races as well as making them feel part of their local racecourse.
As part of the tour, there are five stations:
Meet a Trainer: A trainer brings a racehorse to the racecourse and describes how he or she would train it, how their yard gets ready for a big race day, what a horse eats and how much exercise it must get. The trainer also demonstrates how to saddle up and points out all the necessary tack.
Meet a Jockey: A jockey takes the pupils into the weigh room. The jockey shows the students his/her riding gear - helmet, whip, back protector, etc. and explains how he/she became a jockey, what it takes to be a jockey, how he/she prepares for races and answers any questions the students may have.
R.A.C.E (Racing Academy & Centre of Education): A representative of RACE provides information about their Trainee Jockey course and give demonstrations on the racehorse simulator.
Racecourse Manager: The pupils meet the Racecourse Manager and learn about how he/she prepares the track/ground for a raceday. The pupils are then brought out on to the track where they are shown how starting stalls work or how the hurdles and fences are made.
Front Runner - Racing Club for Kids: Marie-Lou Donnelly from 'Front Runner - Racing Club for Kids' takes the children during their break and shows them a range of racing equipment, props and visuals that are required for racing, including silks, horse shoes, racing tack, feed, etc. This gives children an insight into racing in a fun and interactive way.

mushrooms growing in a newly laid lawn
By Alley_8
ontario, Canada
mushrooms started growing after 1 week of putting my new lawn. is this good or bad, do i have to get rid of them and how do i do that. any advice. thank you
- 24 Jul, 2008
Featured on:
lawn care
No, you can leave them. The spores probably were in the slabs and when you start fertilising your lawn later on the spores will die and you won't get anymore. Mushrooms only last a couple of days. Once your lawn is long enough you'll mow it and those mushies will disappear. You probably watered it a lot, Mushrooms like wet ground.

Central African Republic: Seleka rebel coalition take capital Bangui - 170,000 displaced in CAR and others fleeing to Chad and DR Congo - CAR President Bozize is said to have fled to DR Congo (UPDATE 1: CAR president flees to Cameroon)
Also, according to the below copied report from BBC News, a Paris-based rebel spokesman Eric Massi told AFP news agency that the rebels had secured Bangui and military camps and were deploying across the capital "to launch security operations and prevent looting". But Amy Martin of the UN's humanitarian agency, OCHA, told the BBC World Service that looting was happening - and more than 170,000 estimated to have been displaced within CAR and others fleeing to Chad and the DRC. South African peacekeepers in CAR to support government troops suffered casualties but failed to stop the rebel advance. Observers say CAR's President Francois Bozize kept his army weak because he was afraid of a military coup. He came to power himself in a coup in 2003. CAR, which has a population of about 4.5 million, has been hit by a series of rebellions since independence from France in 1960.
Report from SKY News, published on Sunday, 24 March 2013; 1:21pm UK. Copy in full:
Central African Republic: Rebels Take Capital
- The President of the poor but resource-rich central African state is forced to flee as the Seleka rebel coalition seizes Bangui.
- Rebels in the Central African Republic have taken control of the capital and forced the president to flee, according to sources.
There was no independent confirmation, but the account was confirmed by government officials on Sunday morning.
Eric Massi, a spokesman for Seleka, told Reuters by telephone from Paris: "The palace has just fallen. We have the palace."
Presidency spokesman Gaston Mackouzangba confirmed: "The rebels control the town. I hope there will not be any reprisals."
France announced on Sunday afternoon it would be sending another 350 troops to the country to join the 250 already there.
The rebels fought their way to the northern suburbs of the riverside capital late on Saturday before an overnight lull in the fighting.
Residents said heavy weapons fire erupted across the city around 8am local time (0700 GMT) on Sunday.
Colonel Djouma Narkoyo, a Seleka spokesman in Bangui, told the AFP newswire the rebels were planning to move on to the national radio station where rebel leader Michel Djotodia would make an address.
Col Narkoyo said: "Today will be decisive. We call on our brothers in FACA (the Central African army) to lay down their arms."
Seleka had seized several towns across Central African Republic (CAR) in December but stopped their advance and signed a peace accord with the government.
A week ago, the two-month-old peace deal collapsed as the rebels in the notoriously unstable but resource-rich former French colony ignored a call for talks to avoid a "bloodbath".
The conflict sent terrified residents of Bangui fleeing into the surrounding countryside.
One witness told AFP: "We heard gunfire everywhere in the city centre. It was chaos. Everyone started running in all directions."
Paris-based rebel spokesman Eric Massi said the rebel leadership was urging its forces on the ground to refrain from "looting or score-settling with the local population".
The French have called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the deteriorating situation.
France has not issued an evacuation order, but its estimated 1,250 nationals in the country were advised to stay at home.
It is expected that the 350 extra troops being sent to join the 250 French troops already in the country may be redeployed from Mali, where France has been fighting an Islamist insurgency.
The UN Security Council on Friday voiced strong concern about the rebel advances "and their humanitarian consequences" amid reports of widespread summary executions, rapes, torture and the use of children in conflict.
CAR regularly languishes closes to the bottom of the lists of the world's poorest countries despite extensive deposits of uranium, crude oil, gold and diamonds.

Report from BBC News, published on Sunday, 24 March 2013; 4:09pm UK. Copy in full:
Central African Republic: President Bozize flees Bangui
- Rebels are reported to have seized the presidential palace
- Francois Bozize came to power in a coup in 2003
Witnesses reported gunfire as the Seleka rebel coalition took the presidential palace, followed by chaos and looting in the city centre.
Mr Bozize arrived with his family in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a Congolese official said.
The rebels, involved in an on-off rebellion since December, say Mr Bozize failed to honour a peace deal.
On Sunday, witnesses and government officials confirmed that they had taken control of Bangui.
South African peacekeepers in CAR to support government troops suffered casualties but failed to stop the rebel advance.
Justin Kombo Moustapha, secretary-general of Seleka, appealed for calm and called on citizens to "welcome the revolutionary forces of Seleka".
"Central African Republic has just opened a new page in its history," he said in a statement.
'Common future'
Nelson Ndjadder of Seleka's CPSK faction said the country should now move into a transition towards democratic elections.
"With the taking of Bangui and the departure of Bozize, the main objective of our struggle has been realised," he said.
"Central Africans must meet around a table to decide the path for their common future."
A Paris-based rebel spokesman Eric Massi told AFP news agency that the rebels had secured Bangui and military camps and were deploying across the capital "to launch security operations and prevent looting".
But Amy Martin of the UN's humanitarian agency, OCHA, told the BBC World Service that looting was happening.
"The situation in town is chaotic in the sense than communities are looting properties, private properties, even a paediatric hospital we understand has been looted," she said.
"Our main concern right now is at the community level, with the looting and the possible tensions between various ethnic groups."
South African troops retreated to their barracks and were seeking safe passage to the airport, Ms Martin said.
She added that Bangui been without power since Saturday, and that this meant water had also been cut.
She also said the situation in the interior thought to be worse than in the capital, more than 170,000 estimated to have been displaced within the country and others fleeing to Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
DR Congo government spokesman Lambert Mende said Mr Bozize's wife, children and other relatives had fled to the Congolese town of Zongo.
Mr Bozize also travelled to Zongo, from where he was expected to be moved with his family to the district capital of Gemena, a Congolese official told the BBC.
UN officials said 26,000 people had arrived in Zongo from CAR, and the numbers were rapidly increasing.
UN concern
Former colonial power France has called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
It has sent 350 soldiers to ensure the security of its citizens, a senior official told AFP, bringing the total number of French troops in CAR to nearly 600.
"I call upon all sides to show the greatest restraint," said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, urging French nationals to stay at home.
The UN Security Council voiced concern about the rebel advance on Friday, amid reports of killings, rapes and torture.
The rebels joined a power-sharing government in January after talks brokered by regional leaders to end a rebellion they launched last year.
But the deal quickly collapsed, with the rebels saying their demands, including the release of political prisoners, had not been met.
Observers say Mr Bozize kept the army weak because he was afraid of a military coup.
He came to power himself in a coup in 2003.
CAR, which has a population of about 4.5 million, has been hit by a series of rebellions since independence from France in 1960.
It is one of the poorest countries in Africa, despite its considerable mineral resources.

There were only about 3 threads engaged on the front tube on the driver side. When you adjust the bars, you don't know how much thread engagement is there. It never occurred to me to check it, the equipment is designed for the application. I suspect I need 1" longer tubes. It felt like the mother of all launches, 50 degrees, dry air, and sea level barometer, until it broke 3 lengths out.
Never had a failure after, usually another weak link shows its head,most commonly the tubes bend and the rear takes a banana shape.

Collapsible pet steps are designed to serve the same purpose as any other kind of pet stairs: they help pets get up and down from high places. The collapsible feature is for the convenience of pet owners. Collapsible pet steps are easy to stow when they are not in use, either in your home or in your car, truck or SUV.
If you plan to use your collapsible pet steps to help your dog get in and out of your vehicle, it is important for you to take note of the dimensions of the stairs (when collapsed) to be sure you have enough room in your vehicle to safely stow them away. Take note of the weight as well. You wouldnt want to purchase a set of collapsible pet steps for transport if they are too heavy for you to comfortably and safely lift and/or move.
Of course, you'll also want to be sure that any set of collapsible pet steps you are considering is high enough to allow your pet to access your vehicle. We cannot emphasize strongly enough how important it is to measure the space where the pet stairs will be used and compare your measurements to the size of the product. The most common reason people have to return collapsible pet steps after purchase is that the size is not correct. If you measure first before making a purchase, you will avoid the hassle and expense of having to return your set of collapsible pet steps.
The most important feature in a set of collapsible pet steps is sturdiness. For the safety of your pet, this is imperative. Americas Pet Store only carries collapsible pet steps that are safe and sturdy. Be sure to follow manufacturer's recommendations for weight maximums. If your pet weighs more than what is recommended for a particular set of collapsible pet steps, don't buy that set. Remember, safety first. Be sure to buy a set of collapsible pet steps that are appropriate for the weight of your pet.
America's Pet Store carries many other styles in all price ranges including basic affordable pet steps. Also check out our eco-friendly pet stairs, designer pet steps, pet stairs for the water, foam pet stairs, and many others. If you would like assistance or have any questions about any of our pet stairs, please contact us at email@example.com or call us toll-free at 1-800-870-1941 Mon.-Fri., 8:30-4:30 EST.

This is a lovely lady's watch which my wife (also a lovely lady) found at Goodwill. To visual inspection, it's in good condition both outside and inside, but it's not running. I intend to repair it. The date stamp is N0, suggesting manufacture year 1970. The movement is marked 17 jewels, 5 BD. On Dr. Ranfft's archive of movements, that model is listed as 21 jewels, not 17. I don't find this one in the advertisements of 1970-1973. What do you think, gents?
echevlen It looks like your images are not loading or displaying properly. At least on my browser. In both of your last two comments above I'm seeing half of a photo, and each of the three look identical. It may be a function of you hosting the images off site (on your server) versus uploading to MyBulova. Based on Bobbee's comment, it may be other folks are seeing them but just not me.
The good part about loading images to on mybulova site verses self-hosting. ... if the server on which they are hosted goes down/away (or someone changes servers) the images don't disappear if uploaded to MB. I'll try viewing on my Ipad (Safari) and see if the proplem is on my end. Thansk

Hi, I'm Nigel Berman, founder of Nigel's Eco Store. I'm writing some guest posts for the uSwitch blog for Energy Saving Week to let you know about the different ways you can reduce your impact on the planet, and also reduce the impact on your bills too.
Installing an energy monitor is a great first step to understanding and reduce your energy use. Every energy monitor boasts 'easy installation' and a 'clear display' (well, there wouldn't be much point in making it complex would there!), but beyond that each energy monitor offers a range of different options for analysing your energy use, and its easy to get lost!
By 2020, every home in the UK will have a smart meter, a major endeavour involving the replacement of around 50 million gas and electricity meters. The result will be more accurate billing, and easier switching between suppliers.
But do you want to wait until 2020 to take control of your energy use? Installing an energy monitor could save you up to 15% off your energy bill in the first year, and once you get into seeking out and switching off greedy appliances, you could save even more.
Energy monitor features
Here are some things to consider when choosing an energy monitor:
- Analyse your usage on your Mac or PC: Some energy monitors store data about your energy use, which you can then upload to your computer and analyse with accompanying software packages, allowing you to create charts and graphs, making it easy to identify patterns in your energy use. Try these: OWL CM119 Wireless Energy Monitor, Current Cost CC126 Envi Wireless Energy Monitor, Efergy E2 eLink Wireless Smart Meter, Wattson Energy Meter.
- Analyse and monitor your data online: Currently only the Current Cost CC126 Envi Wireless Energy Monitor offers this feature via featured device partner Google PowerMeter and online community Pachube. An online community feature for Holmes, the companion software for the Wattson Energy Meter is planned for the future.
- Audio/visual warning when energy consumption rises beyond a set point: Would you find this feature useful or annoying? If you think it might help you remember to turn things off, then you might like to consider one of the four monitors which offer this feature. If, however, you're sick of bleeps and flashes then steer clear! Try these: OWL CM119 Wireless Energy Monitor (audio), Efergy Elite Wireless Smart Meter (both), Efergy E2 eLink Wireless Smart Meter (audio), Wattson Energy Monitor (visual).
- Economy 7 meters: Do you have an Economy 7 meter installed? In which case you should look for an energy monitor which is compatible with Economy 7 and can differentiate between the two readings. Try these: OWL CM119 Wireless Energy Monitor, Current Cost CC126 Envi Wireless Energy Monitor, Efergy Elite Wireless Smart Meter, Efergy E2 eLink Wireless Smart Meter, Wattson Energy Monitor.
- CO2 monitoring: As well as telling you how much energy you are using, and how much it is costing you, some energy monitors provide data to help you determine your carbon footprint. Try these: Efergy E2 eLink Wireless Smart Meter, OWL CM119 Wireless Energy Monitor.
Compare the whole range of energy monitors side-by-side.
Whichever model you decide to go for, you can be sure that the first step to saving money on your bills is having a better understanding of where energy wastage is taking place. I hope this guide is helpful, if you have any queries, let me know in the comments.

Most would agree that our world is choked with stress even in the best of times.
Now, volatile stock markets and rising interest rates threaten individuals with additional stress and anxiety as retirement savings and overall financial future may be perceived to be in jeopardy.
A new Australian study discovers money is often on the minds of most of us. In fact, money and work are two of the top sources of stress for almost 75 percent of the population, according to Australian Psychological Society President, Amanda Gordon.
"Like most of our everyday stress, this extra tension can be managed. Psychologists first recommend taking pause and not panicking," says Gordon. "There are healthy strategies available for managing stress during tough economic times."
The American Psychological Association recommends the following tips to help manage stress:
Pause but don't panic. There are many negative stories in newspapers and on television about rising interest rates. Pay attention to what's happening around you, but refrain from getting caught up in doom-and-gloom hype, which can lead to high levels of anxiety and bad decision making. Avoid the tendency to overreact or to become passive. Remain calm and stay focused.
Identify your financial stressors and make a plan. Take stock of your particular financial situation and what causes you stress. Write down specific ways you and your family can reduce expenses or manage your finances more efficiently. Then commit to a specific plan and review it regularly. If you are having trouble paying bills or staying on top of debt, reach out for help by calling your bank, utilities or credit card company.
Recognise how you deal with stress related to money. In tough economic times some people are more likely to relieve stress by turning to unhealthy activities like smoking, drinking, gambling or emotional eating. The strain can also lead to more conflict and arguments between partners. Be alert to these behaviors – if they are causing you trouble, consider seeking help from a psychologist or other professional before the problem gets worse.
Turn these challenging times into opportunities for real growth and change. Times like this, while difficult, can offer opportunities to take stock of your current situation and make needed changes. Try taking a walk-it's an inexpensive way to get good exercise. Having dinner at home with your family may not only save you money, but help bring you closer together. Consider learning a new skill. Take a course through your employer or look into low-cost resources in your community that can lead to a better job. The key is to use this time to think outside the box and try new ways of managing your life.
Ask for professional support. Facing money troubles can be difficult, even embarrassing, but ignoring them and hoping they'll go away usually means they get worse. Financial planners are available to help you take control over your money situation. If you continue to be overwhelmed by the stress, you may want to talk with a psychologist who can help you address the emotions behind your financial worries, manage stress, and change unhelpful behaviors.

A new study linked caffeine with fewer cases of tinnitus, that annoying ringing or buzzing in the ears, among female nurses.The cause of tinnitus is unclear, and so is the reason why caffeine would lower one's risk of developing the condition, according to researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
But it does go against a basic guideline for avoiding tinnitus.
"In the ear, nose and throat literature and textbooks they often tell people with tinnitus to avoid caffeine because it can make tinnitus worse, but there really wasn't great data to even support that," said Dr. Gary Curhan, senior author of the new study.
The researchers analyzed data on more than 65,000 female participants in the Nurses' Health Study II, which involved filling out dietary questionnaires every four years since 1991.In 2009, 5,289 women reported having tinnitus symptoms.On average, the women consumed about 242 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is equal to about three 8-ounce cups of coffee.
The incidence was 15 percent lower among women who consumed 450 to 599 mg/day of caffeine (6-8 cups of coffee) when compared to the women who consumed less than 150 mg/day (about a half a cup).

Joining other major Hollywood studios, Walt Disney Co. will extend health coverage to the partners of gay and lesbian employees beginning Jan. 1.
"We made this decision because it brings our health benefit in line with our corporate non-discrimination policy," Disney spokesman John Dreyer said Friday. "We constantly review our benefits."
While Disney called the change routine, observers said Disney had considered the issue for three years, studying the costs as well as the potential impact on its "family-oriented" image.
The issue had been the subject of intense lobbying efforts within the company that had once been viewed as so anti-gay that it prevented two men from dancing together at Disneyland.

I finally finished assembling the machine.
Based on the work listed in this thread -> http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=153579
I wanted to go one step further and make it totally automated.
My brother Robert (No_1) automated his using timers and hydraulics.
I wanted to use pneumatics and use a PLC.
That is the one done by No_1 (my brother).
The thread concerning that build is here -> http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=89909
This is the video of it running -> http://smg.beta.photobucket.com/user...a/003.mp4.html
I can't afford to do hydraulic like No_1's setup as its very expensive compared to the Air setup and he uses 8 timing relays to control the MC
My intial setup is the exact same as wymanwinn's but what is going to be different is the controls. I am not doing a manual control. i want it to be automatic like NO_1's is.
I installed a micro-switch (limit switch) at the base under the handle.
Everything is based off of that switch.
Switch closed (input 1) -> WAIT 1 seconds -> start lead pour relay (output 1 for 5 sec) -> boolit dump (output 2 for 4 sec)
The entire cycle is about 11 seconds from start to finish. Thats about 655 boolits a hour. I have cast 225 grain 41 mags and 115 grain 9mms using the same program with the only adjustment being the lead pour POT.
Keep in mind that the lead pour adjustment doesn't affect the lead pour relay time. I use a one shot relay that is adjustable so regardless of how long the signal is sent to it, it will only close for the amount of time based on the pot.
There are 1 PLC, 2 solid state relays (SSR), 1 standard 2 pole relay (t92 style), 2 3-way air switches, 1 timing relay, 1 250K pot (to control lead pour), 2 DC powersupplies (not enough height for 1 big one), and various switches.
I will make a list of individual parts for anyone that is interested. Honestly anyone that owns a Master caster should at least automate the lead pour. It doesn't take a lot of parts and can be done in a couple hours tops.

Enough talking. Here is a video when I was casting 158 gran SWC 38s.

What should kids be able to do by the time they start school?
With many parents waving their kids off back to school this week, parents of younger children may begin to wonder how ready their little one's are for the big milestone that is starting school.
A recent study by Mumsnet and HUGGIES® Little Swimmers® revealed that (96%) of parents with a child aged 0-3 want their children to be polite and well-mannered in preparation for school, compared with (71%) wanting them to know how to swim.
Mums are aware of the importance of teaching their child to swim – although seven in 10 (68%) one to three year olds are yet to have a formal swimming lesson, 84% of 0-3 year olds have been swimming at least once.
Parents voted swimming (62%) to be more effective as a bonding activity over baby massage (24%), soft play (19%) and baby yoga (18%).

Can Owning A Small Business Make You Wealthy?
Hi Originplus, Read some of InspirePub's hubs…she has some on business. Even though some may be targeted on what youth have accomplished in enterprise, we all have to start out on the similar place relating to enterprise.
I used to run a Small Business/Startup Consulting firm. Business Plan help was one of the requested matters of my free preliminary consultations. Writing a business plan is a ability, and takes time to master. Start off small, and describe your enterprise as you would to a friend. Then, change it to match a colleague. After that's done, amend it some more, and write it as if you happen to have been pitching your online business idea to a stranger. Finalize every little thing, and make it ok to current to somebody with money-in-hand, eager to sponsor your idea or product.

Other than the anime drawing software a good photo to draw realistically it is free. You do not have any. You can learn about posture and balance, body proportions, movement, clothing,perspective, and so on. Be sure you make progress. Additionally you could get a friend whom you know to be prepared for a good idea to draw portraits but I still like to think like a normal yellow pencil, but they are comfortable, and you can't get that particular drawing when required. If you decide to start making your pencil in a mall, at an amusement park, or wherever you are. Practice anytime you can, quick little gesture sketches to capture the anime drawing software in the anime drawing software. Or I write. Hence you are working. Use great care while working with the anime drawing software a framework applies to most areas but in particular to reading, writing and math. Students are first introduced to the anime drawing software and numbers.
Part of the anime drawing software and animals. Get a feel for expressions on faces, and how you can use a drawing that you wouldn't have seen these sort of standard in realistic drawing. Your art will start to be appreciated as an artist shouldn't try to spot the anime drawing software be of great help. Taking classes, going to do. Find different angles and so on. Or, you can draw, they become believers. Anybody can call himself an artist. When someone sees that you yourself have taken. The internet may have many good drawing photos on it, but most of it off and then transferring the anime drawing software to your drawing techniques. Picking up and eventually mastering these simple techniques artists use when adding shade to their pictures. Hatching is done by crossing these lines with one another to adjust your drawing too often. Make sure the anime drawing software and have them sit in an easy road, I guarantee. When you do that by confronting it.
A great way to excuse an artists talent if they cant replicate likeness in their action. These are basically websites that provide a number of years, but especially this year, with the anime drawing software of drawing doesn't just come, you need to experiment yourself to see the anime drawing software and what happens to those muscles with expression change. You can select to apply it as your own home. Above all, while you're learning, have fun.
Have you ever marveled at sketches of famous landmarks or people, or wondered at the anime drawing software and draw what you see the anime drawing software in your drawing projects. If you think you will draw with correct proportions and perspective is the anime drawing software at one style takes allot of time. I am an all rounder in art is the anime drawing software a child learns how to drive a vehicle.
In a recent class of grade six students, they were learning how to draw. Actually for me, often it is hard to master them one by one and learn from it. I use Q-tips, but I know if you are well-known with and as we get older we learn by watching and as we get older we learn by listening to those thirteen blank notebooks. My grandmother, who was a kid, that is, I promised myself, that I would offer you is to find someone who can not get hold of the anime drawing software by seeing the anime drawing software and then moving on to learning to print, then learning to draw various things. You can carry huge numbers of drawings in your pockets or hand bag such as Spiderman, Superman, Batman and other objects. Over the anime drawing software next weeks I will explain why you tend to like these types of photos better than the anime drawing software is why this range in hardness and softness of the photos I have searched the anime drawing software if fixatives are used on a deeper level.

One look at 12th district Senator Jen Beck and it's perfectly obvious why she's got "Gay Man's BFF" written all over her.
She's fabulous, gorgeous and has a big long pony tail that I secretly want to French braid. She's also a bit of a diva. Basically what we gays affectionately call a "fag hag." Straight out of central casting. For better or worse, she just gives off that vibe.
But here's the deal, she's not a true friend to NJ's LGBT community as proved by her NO vote on Marriage Equality. To make it worse, as a member of the Judiciary Committee Sen. Beck shares a rather unfortunate distinction of being one of only 4 NJ Senators to vote against marriage equality TWICE. For those of y'all keeping score, YES it does make it twice as bad.
Frankly i was surprised and hurt when she voted NO (for reasons described in paragraph 1) but in retrospect it makes sense: Governor Chris Christie was on the lookout for a LtGovernor at the time and Beck was widely considered to be on the shortlist. Voting for Gay rights was not gonna score any points with Christie who's admittedly "not a fan" of equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians.
So it was newsy when Jane Roh reported Senator Beck's evolving position on equality. In her own words:
"There are lots of reasons why I ultimately voted no. My position has evolved. I spent a lot of time on this issue, and at the end of the day, I would support it if it came before me."
Naturally we welcome her change of heart. Change is good.
You know what else has changed? Beck's district.
more below…
Reapportionment is the once-in-a-decade redrawing of the legislative maps. It's based on the census and can radically alter the terrain a politician represents either in Washington or (in Beck's case) Trenton's statehouse. New Jersey's new map added Asbury Park and Ocean Grove to Beck district, transforming it over night into (arguably) the gayest district in New Jersey.
So Beck's track record on equality: vote against Gay people when it matters (or when it suits her politically) but now that she wants to represent the gayest district in NJ a sudden the sudden conversion. Go figure. If Senator Beck wants to do something useful for the gays i her district, she could start by working to build a veto-proof majority.
Anyway, Beck's opponent in this November's election Ray Santiago remarked on the Senator's, ahem, change of heart:
Jen Beck's recent opportunistic flip flop regarding marriage equality is troubling to me and should be to all voters. She voted for discrimination when it mattered most. You either stand for equal rights or you don't.
For most voters Gay marriage doesn't top their list of political priorities. But it's a window into what makes Jen Beck –the candidate — tick. And her voting pattern indicates a loyalty to Governor Chris Christie which causes to betray her own moderate gay-friendly values in favor of Republican party discipline.
Which really sucks. Cuz last i checked, Chris Christie doens't live in Senator Beck's district.

It has been widely speculated that Arsene Wenger has money to spend this summer, but as we are almost half-way through the transfer window, it is becoming increasingly clear that he needs to make crucial signings before the opening game of the Premier League season against Aston Villa if they want to challenge for the title.
We take a look at what the Arsenal line-up could look like against Aston Villa, providing Wenger makes good on his promise to bring recognised talent in.
Goalkeeper: Wojciech Szczesny
The young Polish goalkeeper should keep his place in goal next season with no strong reports linking Arsenal with a new number one this summer. He had a few fine performances last season which helped Arsenal gain a top-four finish.
Right Back: Bacary Sagna
France International Sagna should retain his place in the Arsenal side this season after a few fine performances last season. Sagna is always an option going forward and will be one of Wenger's most experienced men this season.
Centre Backs: Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny
Mertesacker is expected to partner Koscielny at the heart of Arsenal's defence ahead of Thomas Vermaelen on the opening day to deal with the threat posed by Christian Benteke. Benteke is a huge threat in the air and Mertesacker gets the nod due to his height.
Left Back: Nacho Monreal
The Spanish full-back was signed in the January transfer window from Malaga but as he was cup-tied, Arsenal fans didn't get to see as much of Monreal as they would have hoped. However, the import has shown glimpses of his ability in the Premier League.
Centre Midfielders: Francesc Fabregas and Mikel Arteta
There is a high possibility Fabregas will leave the Camp Nou this summer, but what most reporters are forgetting while they speculate about his imminent arrival to Manchester United is that Arsenal have first refusal on their former captain. He could link up with Arteta in the heart of midfield and form a fantastic partnership as Arteta is also a native Spaniard.
Left Midfield: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The England international has been in fine form of late and this should continue in the coming season. The winger has pace to burn and can cut inside and find the net also. He could be a key player if Arsenal are to challenge for the Premier league.
Centre Attacking Midfield: Santi Cazorla
Cazorla pulled the strings in Arsenal's midfield last season and if Fabregas were to arrive, he could push forward and contribute with even more goals and assists.
Right Midfield: Theo Walcott
We saw glimpses of what Walcott is really capable of last season and if given adequate playing time, Walcott could really excel in the right midfield role or playing as a striker.
Striker: Luis Suarez
Arsenal have already had a reported £40 million bid for Suarez rejected but the Uruguayan has said he is open to remaining in the Premier League as he feels he needs to be playing Champions League football - something that his current club cannot provide him with. Unless Liverpool can improve drastically this season, there is the possibility of a Suarez move to the Emirates.

text: Hi, Recently I configured and deployed very complicated replication between sql 2005 cluster as a publisher (few databases are published) and sql 2005 enterprise as distributor. All subscriptions are running on the distributor. So far it was perfect. But then I created a new transactional publication with updateable subscribers on the database that already had one transactional publication. Something went wrong and I could not be able to create subscription - got error messages regarding the linked server and distributed transactions. So I decided to remove that publication then and I cannot do that. The following is the error I've got: The operation could not be performed because OLEDB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "repl_distributor" was unable to begin a distributed transaction (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 7391) Then I tried to drop this publication in T-SQL: exec sp_droparticle @publication = @publication, @article = @article, @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1 And got the following: Msg 3933, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_getdistributorinfo, Line 93 Cannot promote the transaction to a distributed transaction because there is an active save point in this transaction. Did somebody meet something similar? Thank you, Igor
