Release Date: Friday, July 24 1998, 12:00 AM
Nigerian crime syndicates have added a new dimension to the fraudulent letter scheme known as 'fraud 419' which has netted an estimated amount in excess of one billion US dollars from victims since the worldwide scheme was first reported in 1989.
Reports received by Interpol indicate that the criminals are becoming so brazen and confident that they are contacting earlier victims of the fraud and are posing as Nigerian government officials investigating the fraud in a so-called attempt to get the victims' money back upon payment of an upfront fee.
"Interpol wants to try and minimise the potential danger of this new dimension to the fraud scheme by warning victims to be on their guard against any such approach," Mr Serge Sabourin, Head of Interpol's Communication and Public Relations Sub-Directorate said.
"Up to now not a lot of success has been achieved in bringing these criminals to trial and we feel that proactive warnings and increased awareness concerning this fraud scheme can possibly limit the extent of the fraud," he said.
The manner in which the crime is perpetrated makes prosecution very difficult. The victims are usually businessmen and other individuals from all over the world who either receive letters or a facsimile and are led to believe that a substantial commission, payable in US dollars, can be earned for allowing the use of their bank account into which money will be transferred from Nigeria. The commissions vary from two to 25 million US dollars.
The letters explain that the money is from delayed approved contract payments by the past civilian administration in Nigeria to certain companies which have abandoned repayment claims. It alleges that the present military government is now paying these previously frozen monies but that the civil servants involved are apparently attempting to keep the funds for themselves.
The signatories of the letters claim to be acting as middlemen and request that the victim supplies signed and stamped blank company letterheads and blank invoices together with bank details such as account numbers, addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers.
Upon receipt of replies together with the requested documents, the victims are requested to transfer the money to pay for transfer taxes, contract and attorney fees allegedly demanded by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Part of the advances are supposedly used for bribing officials.
The scheme varies from oil transactions to claims on deceased estates, the exportation of US dollar bills in mint form, disposal of toxic waste and others.
Obviously, no money is ever received, resulting in a total loss to the company or individual.
It appears that the countries bordering Nigeria are now being used for posting the scheme letters and even to meet potential victims.
The Nigerian Federal Police have set up a special unit to investigate the scheme but due to the reluctance of victims to travel to Nigeria, prosecutions are difficult to institute.
The General Secretariat of Interpol maintain a file on reported cases but, due to the difficulties encountered in investigating such cases, active measures are being taken to create global awareness in an attempt to prevent people from falling victim to the scheme. The scheme has continued unabated and cases emanating from Japan are now being reported.
Mr Sabourin states that the prospect of receiving commissions of millions of US dollars lures individuals to participate in this scheme and it is clear that the gullibility and greed of prospective victims clouds their Judgement.
"The first logical preventive measure to take is never to divulge your bank account details or any other personal details to anyone," said Mr Sabourin.
Any approach should be reported to the local police with all documents received being handed in. The local police can refer the matter to their Interpol National Central Bureau (NCB), who will in turn notify the Nigerian Federal Police.
The Australian Federal Police is Australia's Interpol National Central Bureau (NCB). Australia is one of many countries targeted by the promoters of this scheme. Members of the public are advised to seek professional advice if they are tempted by anything resembling this scam.
As noted in the Interpol Warning, it is extremely difficult to prosecute the promoters of the scheme and the chances of recovering any funds invested are remote.
The message is simple: if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

Back to gate 17 and we are repeatedly told to be holding our own passports open at the photo page and to have our boarding passes ready. Simple right? Especially when youve been given this instruction at least 5 times while you have been waiting in line. Apparently not simple. I dont get it; my seven year old son managed to follow those instructions to the letter so why cant fully grown adults do it?
Once through the final security check it was straight to the window to get the boys photo in front of our plane which for this trip was Jersey Girl. As we were doing this an announcement came over the tannoy for all children who had not received their kids packs to go back to the security point. My god, youd have thought they were giving out the last cup of tea in England the way some parents grabbed their children and charged over there. Ive been in the middle of gentler rugby scrums. I waited on the periphery with Steven whilst the others wrestled each other and then helped ourselves to a bag once the dust had settled.
Another announcement came stating that we were to proceed straight on to the plane and not wait in the seating area. That was a major disappointment for me as one of the favourite parts of my plane boarding experience had been eliminated. Its the one where the ground crew say they will be boarding strictly by row number and immediately two hundred people stand up and crowd around the gate in case the plane goes without them. In our house we call it The Sheep Factor. Anyway it was gone. No Sheep Factor. We just walked straight down the tunnel and on to the plane.
We are seated in row 44 which is right by the wing. The boy is immensely excited by the fact that there is a blanket on his seat. He checks out the contents of the bag that women has just recently come to blows over and finds a watch which is far too big for his little wrist, a book, some puzzles and pencils and a few sweets. Thats what people were stampeding for.
By now the perfume I sprayed over myself in duty free is really giving me a headache and according to the skymap on the little screen in front of me there is still 4349 miles to go till we reach Orlando. And then immigration and reclaiming luggage and customs and giving away luggage and reclaiming it again and then car rental to get through before driving on the wrong side of the road to a place wed never been to before. And I had a headache already.
That restless feeling starts to kick in now; the one where youve been sitting on a plane for 40 minutes and nothing has happened yet. The inflight magazine has been read, the contents of the seat pocket checked and now youre bored. And you havent even pushed back from the gate yet. And then we spot her. The vision in dyed blonde hair. Of course Auntie Jo being the hair stylist spotted immediately that she had extentions and we all spotted that she was not a natural blonde. Already highly tanned and dressed twenty years too young for her, she teetered along the aisle in her 6 inch heels accompanied by a man that looked as though he was good friends with someone whose name ended in Kray. She carried a duty free bag containing 4 different types of perfume. We immediately named her Barbie.

It's a tradition more than 90 years in the making, and this year's Foresters Ball promises to be better than ever.
The 97th annual ball kicks off this Friday at the University of Montana and organizers were hard at work today getting ready.
Publicity officer for the Forester's Ball Leslie Neu said the event, "is a walk back in time. As soon as you walk through the doors you're transported back to an 18th-century logging town where everybody's kicking up their heels and having a great time."
But before those dance shoes hit the floor, there's still lots of work to be done. Organizers said it's all volunteers who make this event happen and that makes for long days and nights.
"It's just really fun to work with people that have a passion for it. We want to keep this going as long as we can," said Chris Freeborn, the construction officer for the event.
Freeborn runs the show and is in charge of making sure everything gets done on time. He said this is his fourth year working on the ball and he started planning last spring for the event.
Builders will have to drive almost 200 pounds of nails, but will be able to work with mostly recyclable or reusable materials. In fact, the bar front was built in 1971 and the wood floors date back to the 1940s.
Don't expect the drunken evenings of the past this year, though. In 2012 more than 100 students were kicked out of the ball for being drunk and unruly, and the University's president almost canceled the tradition. Alcohol is completely prohibited and organizers are taking great steps to make sure it stays that way.
"We've tightened the security at the door and then within the ball. We've made it very aware to students that there is no alcohol at the Forester's Ball, but it is still a really fun event," said Leslie Neu.
The ball is the primary fundraiser to raise money for forestry scholarships at the University of Montana. To be eligible for those scholarships, students must do a mandatory amount of hours helping to build and tear down the ball. In the end the students say it's well worth it.
Freeborn said, "At the end of the week, around Friday afternoon when I can barely stand because I'm so tired, it's really cool to just walk into the gym and realize that we turned a basketball court into an 1800s logging town."
In the Forester's Ball's history, only two years were missed -- during World War II when there weren't enough men at the University to construct the ball.

Quadraspidiotus perniciosus
Author: Eric Day and Douglas G. Pfeiffer Virginia Tech
Comstock, 1881
Plants Attacked
Apple, pear, peach, plum, Osage orange, or ornamental trees and shrubs
Description of Damage
San Jose scale is one of the most destructive scale insects. Scale insects feed on plant juices by means of long, hollow, needle-like mouthparts inserted into the tissue of the host. The host tissue near the feeding site often turns red or purple (this is most evident on bark by making a thin slice into the bark with a knife). When feeding on apple fruits, the small brown scale has a characteristic red halo around it. Slow progressive killing of infested twigs and stems often results. Heavy infestation may cause death of the tree. Damaging stages are nymphs and adult females. Plant parts attacked are fruits, twigs, stems, and branches.
The immature and adult females live under a small circular brown or smoky black cover up to 1/16th of an inch (1 to 2 mm) in diameter. The scale has dark concentric rings that can be seen under a magnifying glass. A few elliptical-shaped scales (larger male immatures) may be interspersed among the otherwise round scales. The San Jose Scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock), is in the order Homoptera family Diaspididae.
Life History
San Jose scales start life as crawlers which are tiny, free- living insects that move about the plant looking for a place to settle. The crawlers can be moved to another plant by wind or by hitching a ride on a bird's leg. This is the only time that the scale can move from plant to plant. After the scale settles, it quickly starts to secrete its waxy covering and remains in place for the rest of its life. There are at least three generations per year in Virginia. The first crawler emergence is in late May through early June. The date of the first crawler appearance varies by up to two weeks from year to year and also between areas within a given year. The second generation crawlers occur in late July, with the third generation in late summer or early fall; but due to overlapping of generations there is some variability to exactly when it occurs. By the end of the season, generations are no longer discrete and all stages are present. Crawlers usually settle very close to where they hatched and heavily infested plants have bark crusted with scales. If the crawler is a male, it will develop like the female early in its life, but during the later stages of development the male scales form what is known as a pupal stage from which emerges a tiny two-winged insect capable of flight. After mating with the female, the male dies. Adult females remain under cover and lay eggs. Crawlers appear about 50 days after the first male flight. Immature male and female scales overwinter and mature in the spring.
Apply superior dormant oil in late winter for the overwintering stages. During the growing season, treat when crawlers are first seen and again 7-10 days later. To observe crawlers, wrap black electrical tape around a scale infested branch with the sticky side outward. Check each day for lemon-yellow crawlers caught on the tape. When the tape losses its tackiness, replace it. Although variable, the crawler dates in Virginia are usually about June 10-15 and late July. See the Virginia Pest Management Guides for specific insecticides recommended for control.
Females produce a sex pheromone to attract the winged males. Synthetic pheromones have shown some possibilities for monitoring and control. If pheromone traps are used for monitoring, expect crawler emergence about one month after the first male catch (traps should be hung at bloom or shortly before). Sprays directed toward male flight can be effective as crawler sprays, but often male activity occurs during bloom when sprays may not be applied. Insecticides should not be used at bloom because this will disrupt pollination by bees.

Apple IOs 7.1 Software Released -- Mystery IPads Leaked
Published on: 10th Mar 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Apple has released the latest update for is iOS software, and possibly by accident left in details indicating that two new iPad tablets are on the way.
The iOS 7.1 release, which is now available for Apple users fixes a number of bugs, makes a few visual changes, and also adds support for their CarPlay platform.
However, it also includes references to two hitherto unknown Apple iPad models.
The references are to an iPad 4,3 and an iPad 4,6.
The current iPad Air models are internally known as the iPad 4,1 and iPad 4,2, so the iPad 4,3 could be an updated version of that device. Meanwhile, the iPad Mini is the model code 4,4 and 4,5, so the mystery iPad 4,6 could be that product's successor.

Here 2013 Speaker Profile: There is no stopping Andy Rementer
It is fair to say we are a little in love with Andy Rementer and his playful, colourful illustrations. Hailing from the USA, Andy has a very impressive portfolio including work for The New York Times, MTV and Warner Brothers. Not only has he done solo and group shows all over the world, he was also recently made a Young Gun by the Art Directors Club.
It's hard to condense Andy's work into a few sentences because there's so much of it that thrills us. Last month we wrote about his crazy illustrations for this year's ELCAF including a host of sad plant-pots and popping-out eyes. Andy also teamed up with Honet earlier in the year to make a whimsical animation based around Lacoste's alligator logo and I Wish I Knew was a series of paintings surrounding the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.
Andy is hopping across the pond to talk at Here 2013 this June offering a unique opportunity to see him speak and see why we at It's Nice That are such big fans of the guy. We can't frankly wait to get an insight into the mind of Andy and his hilarious creations.

Dancing With The Stars
Who Is Sadie Robertson? 5 Things to Know About Dancing With the Stars Season 19 Celeb
The Dancing With the Stars Season 19 cast was just announced, and this time we have two teenagers in the group. The younger of the two is Sadie Robertson, who just turned 17 in June. Who is this lovely young lady? Here are five things to know about Mark Ballas' fall 2014 dance partner.
1. She's a Duck Dynasty star
Sadie is the daughter of Duck Dynasty's Willie and Korie Robertson, and the granddaughter of family patriarch Phil Robertson. But Sadie is more than just a pretty — and adorably dimpled — face. She's also active in sports, including basketball and tennis. That can only help her on DWTS.
2. She is driven by faith
Sadie has 1.28 million followers on Twitter @sadierob, and her bio features this Bible quote: "Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30)" Last December, when her grandfather faced criticism for his anti-gay comments, Sadie took to Twitter to stand by her family and thank fans for their prayers and support. "This is what the family has decided. We know this is all in Gods hands," she tweeted, later adding, "God is able. He will never change. He is a mighty God."
3. She inspires others to "Live Original"
According to her ABC bio, Sadie is a motivational speaker who spends her summers on mission trips and working at a Christian youth camp spreading her message to peers about being confident in who you are and learning to "live original." She collaborated with fashion designer Sherri Hill on her own "daddy-approved" prom dress line, Live Original, and walked in Sherri's New York Fashion Week show in 2013. Sadie is developing her own Live Original line of school supplies for DaySpring, and she also has a new book coming out called Live Original: How the Duck Commander Teen Keeps It Real and Stays True to Her Values. All that and she's still in high school!
4. She has a boyfriend
Sadie has apparently been dating Blake Coward since at least the start of 2014. They are all over each other's social media. According to AL, Blake is student at Madison Academy in Madison, AL, and met Sadie when she visited cousins who also attend the school. "I asked her on a date later," Blake said in April 2014. "It went great and then I visited her in Louisiana about a month later and we have been dating for three months now." They appear to still be going strong, so look for him in the DWTS audience.
5. She could go very far on DWTS
The DWTS demographic tends to skew more toward the conservative side, and pro Mark Ballas has had success taking two conservative stars to the Finals — Bristol Palin in Season 11 and Candace Cameron-Bure in this past spring's Season 18. Neither star was one of the best dancers of her season, and Bristol occasionally frustrated non-fans with her less than enthusiastic attitude, but it didn't matter. Sadie has the conservative Duck Dynasty fan base, but she also seems to have poise and charm on her side — and one word many fans have used to describe her is "humble." She seems like a sweet girl and if she has any dance talent at all she and Mark could definitely be contenders for the win.
Are you rooting for Sadie to win DWTS? Season 19 premieres Monday, September 15 from 8 to 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

The proportion of people watching online film service ivi.ru via Smart TVs was 44% for the first half of 2014, according to the company's data.
The percentage of viewers watching ivi.ru on desktop computers and notebooks was just 31%, and for smartphones and tablets the figure was 25%. For comparison, the figures for the first half of 2013 were 14% for Smart TV, 62% for desktops and notebooks and 26% for smartphones and tablets.
Other online cinema services show lower figures for Smart TV, but the numbers are growing nonetheless. For Tvigle the proportion grew from 8% to 16% and for Zoomby from 29% to 36%.
The overall picture for the country as a whole is not quite so promising, however. According to TNS Russia's statistics the proportion of Smart TV users is only 8% of the population over 12 years of age and living in cities of more than 100,000 people. This amounts to less than 7.2 million people.
Advertisers seem to remain unconvinced of the opportunities afforded by Smart TV. Elena Krylova, director of TMT projects for iKS Consulting, believes that this is due to the lack of clear independent viewing figures. These figures, readily available for normal television, are important for advertisers in assessing the impact of their publicity.

I just used some white cardstock as the base and the Love Me Do line from My Mind's Eye for the decorative layer. I opted to leave it without a handle, but you can easily add one with ribbon or wire.
I cut the scalloped mat with my Cricut as well and the bird and branch is a SU punch; they are both popped up for some dimension. I am loving all the boxes I have been finding, it's a nice change up from cards and I am getting quite the stash which will come in handy during the upcoming birthday season! We have quite a few in March, then a ton again in the summer months.

AOL Launches AIM Mail With 2GB of storage
By Charlene Li
AOL will offer 2 GB of storage with its new free, Web-based email service called AIM Mail. It will also feature integration with the AIM instant messaging client. I like the fact that they stuck all the bells and whistles into the product right from the start – lots of storage, full spam and anti-virus protection, and the ability to view emails in third party programs like Outlook Express. The beta product will be available at aim.com as part of an update to AIM 5.9
The product is highly competitive with the offerings from Gmail, doubles what Yahoo! Mail offers in terms of storage and blows the Hotmail away (big caveat – I have not had the opportunity to test the product yet – this is all based on some of the pre-announced features). AOL's hope is that it will tap into its base of loyal AIM users – especially among young consumers – and convince them to extend the use of their AIM screenname into email.
One question that is inevitable – won't this cannibalize AOL's subscriber base? On the contrary, I believe that those people who would do this were already at risk and were likely to jump ship to someone like Gmail or Yahoo! Mail soon. By offering tiered services – free email/IM, BYOA for $9.95/month, and full services dial-up at $14.95, AOL now has multiple ways to have a connection with users. The end game: build the audience in order to attract advertising dollars that will replace declining subscriber revenues.
I've included the text of the draft press release below:
AMERICA ONLINE ANNOUNCES BETA RELEASE FOR NEW WEB-BASED E-MAIL SERVICE New "AIM® Mail" Service Provides Spam and Virus Protection, 2 GB of Online Storage and Integration with Popular AOL® Instant Messenger™ (AIM®) Service
DULLES, VA – May 11, 2005 – America Online, Inc., the world's leading interactive services company, announced today that it has begun beta testing for its new Web-based e-mail service that will be available to all Internet users. The new service – AIM® Mail – is being made available to Internet users first through the AOL® Instant Messenger™ (AIM®) service and will be rolled out to other AOL Web properties, including the AOL.COM® Web site, in the coming months.
The new Web Mail service introduces the AIM.com e-mail domain, which is based upon one of the most popular Internet communication brands available today. AIM Mail provides industry-leading spam and e-mail virus protection, giving Internet users the protection they need for a safer online experience, and additional features including AIM presence and instant messaging integration and 2 GB of online e-mail storage. The beta version of AIM Mail is available now as part of the ongoing beta test of the updated AIM 5.9 software.
Features of the new AIM Mail service include:
* Spam and anti-virus protection to help keep a user's mail box free from junk mail and harmful viruses.
* 2 GB of e-mail storage which can be accessed from any Web-enabled computer, and a search feature that makes it easy to find new, old, or sent messages.
* Integration with the AIM service with the familiar Running Man icon appearing in e-mail headers if a sender or cc-ed recipient is logged on to the AOL® or AIM service. This allows users to instantly see when friends and colleagues are online and enables them to easily respond via e-mail or instant message.
* A single sign-on process allows users to utilize their AIM Screen Name as their aim.com e-mail address enabling them to launch and access their instant messaging and e-mail service with a single password. It also allows users to launch their mail service from their AIM Buddy List® feature or the Mail panel in the AIM Today welcome screen with a single click.
* An Unsend Message feature lets users cancel a message after it's been sent to another AOL or AIM Mail user (if the message is unread). Users can also check the status of a message sent to an AOL or AIM user and confirm if and when the message has been read.
* A clean, simple design with drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to organize and save messages into folders. Incoming new mail automatically appears as it arrives and an audible tone sounds as a notification.
* An Address Book with an AIM presence indicator lets users send an instant message from the Address Book to a contact if they are online.
* Rich text (HTML) formatting options for the style of e-mail composition, including the ability to change fonts, font sizes and colors, add bullets or numbers, and change text alignment.
* An Auto-Address feature automatically fills in an e-mail address as a user types the first part of a name that already exists in their Address Book.
* A built-in spell checker enables users to quickly proof-read messages before they are sent.
* Away Messages that can inform others via a "return" e-mail that the user is away and unable to read their e-mails, and "e-mail signatures" that can also include a user's online instant messaging status.
The sleek interface and underlying technology for the AIM Mail service is based on technology from Mailblocks, Inc., a consumer Web-based e-mail service acquired by America Online in July 2004.

Poppens & P'Burg
"The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."
Wow, what an amazing story.
That is and incredible story.
They will be having the high school classes at the middle school in Aplington, and the gym is still there where Aplington HS won 76 straight games in the early 90s so word around town is that they will play home games there.
Also, plans are now to put a pole building up in the parking lot of the middle school, haul in a portable floor, and that's where practices will be held. Maybe that will give JP an idea for a cheaper way to build a new practice facility
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Amazing. Good thing there was that space to "hide" in between the two buildings!
PS It was 74 straight games, not 76.
"Watch yer topknot!"
I just looked it up and you're right. Got beat by Raef at MFL-MarMac in substate by 3.
I was at that game. What a barn burner. It was at the Oelwein High School and it was a sellout. I was sitting by a guy in a suit who I thought was probably a local business man. I asked him where he worked and he said he was a recruiter for Notre Dame looking at Raef.
I was also at the game. I think of that day as Black Friday. I believe Aplington shot 3-18 from behind the 3-point line. One or two more makes and they probably would have had a three-peat.
It is devastating what happened in P'burg, this is a good story.
Wow, those kids were lucky.

text: What an advertisement for the game was this clash between Ireland and Wales, with Wales pipping it in the dying seconds with a penalty kick to win 23 to 21. This was an edge of the seat game of rugby. As a spectator I couldn't drag myself away for a second. Both sides contributed to making this special. As a neutral, I didn't feel that either side deserved to lose. Well done lads.

Rupee dropped to a more than one-month low of 54.2250 its lowest since December 13 and weaker compared to its previous close of 54.69/70.
State-run Indian oil marketing companies can now raise diesel prices in line with increases in global crude oil prices, Oil Minister Veerappa Moily said on Thursday, a move that could help the government reduce its vast subsidy bill.
Traders said the move would also help contain the government's wide fiscal deficit, which is a positive for the rupee.
The euro rose to a 9-1/2 month high against the sterling on Thursday as worries about the poor UK economic outlook contrasted with better sentiment towards the single currency.
Dollar demand from oil firms is however prevalent and is likely to limit further losses, dealers say.

David Hasselhoff gatecrashes Ronnie Wood's honeymoon
Newlywed RONNIE WOOD is spending his honeymoon with DAVID HASSELHOFF after the unlikely duo both booked holidays at tycoon SIR RICHARD BRANSON's private island at the same time.
The Rolling Stones rocker jetted off to Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands following his marriage to theatre producer Sally Humphreys in December (12), only to bump into the Baywatch star, who is on vacation with his girlfriend Hayley Roberts.
The actor took a picture of himself posing with Wood and posted the image on his Twitter.com page, writing, "Hangin (sic) with Ronnie Wood in Necker! What a cool guy."
The group seems to be getting on well - Hasselhoff also revealed he lost a game of poker to Wood's new wife, adding, "Just got Hoffed by Ronnie's wife at poker."

The new 3D animated family movie "Escape From Planet Earth," about the misadventures of two blue-colored alien brothers (voiced by Brendan Fraser and Rob Corddry), is coming to theaters next week. But despite a pretty charming trailer that was released in November, we haven't seen much promotion. Well, we guess it's better late than never. Because the Weinstein Company (the studio that has penciled "Escape" for a February 14th theatrical release) has just dropped a massive 20-minute-plus featurette on the internet. So, if you haven't heard about the movie yet, then feast your eyes.
In the film, Fraser voices a dimwitted (yet, gutsy) alien astronaut named Scorch Supernova. When he foolishly travels to Earth, he unexpectedly gets caught by the US government. Now it's up to his brilliant tech-wiz brother (Corddry) to break him out of Area 51. The film will also feature the voices of Jane Lynch, Sarah Jessica Parker, George Lopez, Craig Robinson and William Shatner. Watch the cast talk about the movie in great detail in the clip, posted above.
The 3D animated family comedy catapults moviegoers to planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA's no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (William Shatner), it's up to scrawny, risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure-hungry son Kip.
directed by Cal Brunker
starring Brendan Fraser, Rob Corddry, Jane Lynch, Sarah Jessica Parker, George Lopez, Craig Robinson, William Shatner
release date February 14, 2013

Palm Harbor University absorbed Wharton's best shot early Thursday afternoon and then spent the rest of the day flexing its offensive muscles during an impressive 8-4 victory.
The win sends the Hurricanes into a Class 8A region semifinal rematch from 2012 against Durant High. The Cougars beat East Lake on Thursday, 11-0, to set up the Tuesday afternoon showdown at PHU.
Although the 'Canes rebounded nicely from Wharton's initial barrage, it looked for a moment like it might be another tough day for Pinellas County softball in this 2013 postseason. Both Countryside and Dunedin were ousted from their respective brackets on Wednesday.
Wharton took advantage of a wild pitch and error in the second inning and jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead. With one out and runners at second and third, a fielding error on Meagan Bell's RBI base hit to left allowed both to score and Bell to advance all the way to third. Nicole Keesee promptly brought home Bell with a ground out to third to make it 3-0.
Rather than let the pressure of the moment get to them, though, the Hurricanes immediately slugged their way back into the game in the home half.
Left fielder Alayna Gallagher got PHU going with a lead off single, which started a nine-batter, six-hit, five-run frenzy that put the 'Canes ahead for good.
"We got punched in the mouth a little bit but we reacted pretty well, I think," said PHU coach Kerry Katchuk.
"We knew we had a lot of game left to play and we believe in each other," said shortstop Jessica Adams, who capped her day with an opposite-field solo home run in the fifth. "We bounced right back and we have a lot of confidence because we're a team with a lot of fight in us, so we tend to come back when we're down."
Adams noted that the Hurricanes had recorded two hits and put runners at second and third in the first inning. Despite not scoring a run, it kept the lineup from overreacting to Wharton's initial lead.
Adams and second baseman Logan Lilley both turned in three-hit days as the PHU bats raked for 14 total, six of which went for extra bases. Two of those extra-base hits came from catcher Claire Hamilton. Toughing out an illness that caused her to be sick prior to the game, the senior sent a pair of doubles into the outfield gaps and drove in three runs.
"It's been a rough kind of week but it turned out to be okay," Hamilton said of contributing to the team's big day while not feeling well.
Earning the victory from the circle Thursday was PHU starter Rachel Taylor, who limited the Wildcats to just six hits.
"She bounced back," Katchuk said of his junior lefty's ability to shrug of the early deficit. "She's had some great games this year and she's had some tough games, but against the good teams she's shown up and that's pretty impressive."
"I told Claire and my infield that I'm not worried and they said they weren't worried," Taylor said. "So as long as we're all calm, cool and collected that's all I can really ask for. If they have my back then I have theirs.
"I just kept telling myself that I've done this before and I can do this again. I just tried to focus back in on Claire's glove because me and her have that relationship where she trusts me and I trust her."
Wharton bats never truly found a rhythm against Taylor, scoring only one more time after the three-run second. Wildcats center fielder Kassidy Kujawa sent a two-out solo homer to left in the sixth that brought the score to its eventual 8-4 final.
Kujawa and Bell both had two hits apiece for Wharton, whose rollercoaster season ended with a record of 12-9.
PHU will host Durant on Tuesday afternoon at 4:00. The Cougars edged the Hurricanes 6-5 last year at Durant.

The Indians may have turned a corner with their play in a home sweep of the Detroit Tigers. They followed that up with a split of the series in Baltimore, which you will take all day. Next up was the Chicago White Sox, who the Tribe has already seen several times this year. Though they have played some of their better baseball of late, one thing has not changed; their horrific defense.
No matter the day you can count one three things in life right now: Death, Taxes, and bad Tribe defense costing them at least one run. They have lost three of their last four after the 6-2 Memorial Day defeat on the South Side of Chicago. In those three losses, three errors (one in each game), directly accounted for six unearned runs. This isn't a recent trend either, it is a season long reality. The Indians are the worst defensive team in the league. There are no two ways around it.
Monday afternoon was just another prime example. With a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third, Josh Tomlin was sailing along. With two out, Lonnie Chisenhall made yet another error at third, his eighth of the season. Connor Gillaspie's single spawned the biggest hit of the day, a three-run homer off of the bat of Dayan Viciedo. If Lonnie makes the routine play, the Indians are out of the inning. Instead, they had to play from behind against another left-handed starter, Jose Quintana, who has had great success against the Tribe in his career.
"Sometimes the ball, you know, you get on your heels and the second hop plays you a little bit instead of putting yourself in a position where you come get it," said manager Terry Francona, always the defender of his players. As good as Chisenhall as been at the plate this season, his defense has regressed. He's made three errors in his last three games.
"Lonnie's our hardest worker, so we keep working. When you make an error, you can't go back and take it away. And we have guys that I think have the ability to be good fielders, so we just keep working," said Francona.
Despite the fact that the Sox were handed that lead, the Indians continued to battle back. As usual Michael Brantley was in the middle of a scoring situation by drawing a sixth inning lead off walk and a steal of second. Ryan Raburn's RBI single inched the Tribe closer at 3-2. He tried to stretch the single to a double and was thrown out at second. The replays showed he was safe as Alexei Ramirez never applied the tag, but the review came back inconclusive.
"Yeah, he didn't touch me up top, and I still think I got my hand in," Raburn said. "Basically, my leg slid into him, but it's probably one of those calls where they weren't sure, and tough to overturn."
Tomlin came out for the sixth and lost his way. Gillaspie and Viciedo wore him out again with a double and a single respectively. With the lefty Adam Dunn coming up, Francona called on lefty Josh Outman, who struck out Dunn for a big first out. Even though it was the sixth inning, Francona came back out and went to his best set up man, Bryan Shaw. Ramirez, who has already killed the Indians this season, singled in Gillaspie, which was followed by another RBI single from Alejandro De Aza. The one run lead ballooned to three.
The Sox added an insurance run in the seventh when that man again, Gillaspie drove in Marcus Semien with a double.
One last chance to get back in the game came in the eighth against Sox righty and former Tribe farmhand Zach Putnam. Back to back singles by Mike Aviles and Michael Brantley and a two out infield hit from Raburn brought the tying run to the plate in the form of pinch hitter David Murphy. Sox skipper Robin Ventura called for lefty Scott Downs, who neutralized "The Good Guy" with a strikeout. That was all for the Tribe in this one.
Meanwhile, the Indians continue to drop like flies. Jason Kipnis should be back on Tuesday once activated off of the DL. However, Nick Swisher's bad knees have popped up and caused him to miss two games and be replaced with a pinch hitter on Monday. Carlos Santana was a late scratch Monday afternoon after feeling ill. He was drilled in the mask by a foul ball on Sunday in Baltimore. He may have a concussion. Where this leaves the roster is anybody's guess.
Worst of all, lefty Chris Sale (4-0, 1.89 ERA) is next on the Tribe's docket. We will see if Justin Masterson (2-3, 5.32 ERA) is up to the task in matching the Sox ace. He is long overdue for a dominant start, but does Masterson have it in him with his diminished velocity?

The 25th annual NewFest, New York's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender film festival, has announced its lineup of 15 features, four documentaries and 31 shorts. The fest is put on by OutFest and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Check out the program below.
NewFest runs September 6-11 at the Film Society's Walter Reade Theater and the JCC in Manhattan.
Stacie Passon's "Concussion," which premiered at Sundance to strong reviews, will open the festival. It centers on a suburban lesbian housewife who leads a double life as a high-end call girl in Manhattan. RADiUS-TWC snapped it up out of Park City for seven figures; no word yet on a stateside release.
Complete lineup:
Dir/Scr: Stacie Passon, 2012, USA, 97 min.
From executive producer Rose Troche and writer-director Stacie Passon, this funny, sexy and compelling mix of Belle de Jour and The Stepford Wives follows suburban lesbian housewife Abby (Robin Weigert, "Deadwood", The Sessions) through an erotic epiphany after suffering a head injury. In the immediate aftermath, she questions whether her picture-perfect family life is enough and decides to revive her career and renovate a loft in New York City. But the space quickly transforms itself into a convenient location for an unexpected sexual reawakening. CONCUSSION had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
Looking back as moving forward, this selection of recent works and telling discoveries assembles a queer menagerie of experimentalists and pop icons, like Pet Shop Boys, Lil' Kim and Kristen ("call me KStew") Stewart. From flickering Super 8 and scratched 16mm to grainy VHS, HD video and plasma monitors, the cutting edge never felt so queerly expanded.
Dir: Stephan Lacant, Scr: Stephan Lacant, Karsten Dahlem, 2013, Germany, subtitled, 100 min.
In his gripping and erotic feature debut, German director Stephan Lacant chronicles the pleasures and pitfalls of a tumultuous love affair between police officer Marc (Hanno Koffler, Summer Storm) and his training partner, Kay. At first Marc brushes off his attraction to his colleague as a fluke, but his feelings become evident the more time he spends away from his pregnant girlfriend Bettina, inside motel rooms and in remote corners of the forest with Kay. Free Fall, which had its world premiere at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival, explores the excitement of forbidden love as well as the consequences of secrecy and repression.
Dir: Gary Entin, Scr: Edmund Entin, 2012, USA, 83 min.
Russell (Cameron Deane Stewart, Pitch Perfect) is your average closeted high school teen looking for love. Enter Kevin (Justin Deeley, "90210"), the school's hunkiest football jock. Things get complicated when both Kevin and Russell do things they don't want to in order to hide who they are. Russell seeks advice from the Geography Club, actually a secret GSA filled with a hilarious collection of misfits. As the closet grows harder to maintain, Russell has to decide whether or not to come out – even if it means losing Kevin. Smart, assured and stylish, with supporting performances by Ana Gasteyer ("SNL"), Alex Newell ("Glee"), Scott Bakula and Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray), the debut feature from the Entin twins represents a big (and very hot) step forward in the gay-teen comedy genre.
Dir/Scr: Cory Krueckeberg, 2013, USA, 91 min.
College boy Doc (Tanner Cohen, Were the World Mine) is obsessed with a well-known NYC go-go boy (Matthew Camp). He befriends his hunky crush with the intention of shooting a documentary about what it's like to live in his skin. But as they grow closer, flirtation blurs the line between subject and filmmaker until a steamy night together solidifies deeper feelings. Cory Krueckeberg's explicit directorial debut explores the thrill and danger of getting exactly what you wished for.
Q-RATING - Explicit Sexuality
Dir/Scr: Doug Spearman, 2013, USA, 110 min.
Handsome, reckless Pip gets drugged and robbed at an orgy. Danny, his sexy but sensible ex-boyfriend, is an actor taking a private investigator class—he's up for a part on a cop show. There's still a strong sexual and emotional tension between them that builds as they investigate a series of robberies and murders at the sex parties of rich and powerful gay men. With the help of Jimmy, a seen-it-all PI, they play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a ruthless killer, finding plenty of laughs along the way. In his debut feature, writer-director Doug Spearman, a 2009 Outfest Screenwriting Lab fellow for the Hot Guys With Guns screenplay, deftly balances action (both kinds) and witty comedy.
Dir: Travis Mathews, James Franco, Scr: Travis Mathews, 2012, USA, 60 min.
To avoid an X rating, 40 minutes of footage was cut from the controversial 1980 gay slasher movie Cruising. In a provocative reimagining of this censored material, directors Travis Mathews (I Want Your Love) and James Franco create an explicit and steamy documentary film-within-a-film about gay sex and masculinity. As the straight lead Val prepares to assume the Al Pacino position, he is forced to confront his own sexual boundaries and discomforts, which flare as he pushes deeper into this iconic gay interior. The film had its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
Q-RATING - Explicit Sexuality
Dir: Malgoska Szumowska, Scr: Malgoska Szumowska, Michal Englert, 2013, Poland, subtitled, 102 min.
Father Adam is the talk of the small Polish town he's assigned to. Handsome, strong and unfazed by a violent group of local teens, he's idolized and occasionally hit on by local men and women alike. It's only when the brooding and beautiful Lukasz, an orphan and accused arsonist, falls into his arms one hot summer day, that Father Adam feels the sudden pang of repressed desire. Soon his feelings of lust give way to love, setting off suspicion within the tight-knit, conservative community. Shot in glowing, golden sunlight and set within the sprawling fields and forests of Poland, Malgoska Szumowska's sumptuous drama (2013 Teddy Award winner for Best Feature Film) teems with sensuality and tension.
Dir: Christina Voros, Scr: Christina Voros, Ian Olds, 2012, USA, 79 min.
KINK takes us into the painful but oh-so-pleasurable world of five San Francisco–based BDSM workers as they choke, spank and scream their way through just another day at the kink.com studios. Produced by James Franco and directed with frank allure by Christina Voros, the film not only humanizes the bondage and sadomasochism industry, it also uncovers a professional world in ways the uninitiated would never expect. So strap in (or strap on!) and enjoy this wild and surprisingly sweet dungeon-based feature, which had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
Q-RATING - Explicit Sexual Content
Dir: Antonio Hens, Scr: Abel González Melo, Antonio Hens, 2012, Cuba, subtitled, 94 min.
Reinier works as a callboy in order to support his wife and child, but he ends up gambling most of his money away. Sex with men is strictly business until he befriends a cute soccer player named Yosvani, who works for his girlfriend's father, a corrupt debt collector. When Reinier's gambling habit gets him in serious trouble, Yosvani tries to convince Reinier to run away with him. Set in the bustling streets of Cuba, The Last Match offers a visceral romance ripe with unexpected turns and dangerous temptations.
Dir/Scr: Mark Thiedeman, 2013, USA, 73 min.
For two small-town teenagers in love, this is that one last summer they will spend together before going their separate ways. Baseball star Luke knows that the intelligent Jonah will go off to college in the fall, and over the course of the next few months these boyfriends will lose themselves in nature, bicycle rides and each other while they still can. With echoes of Terrence Malick, writer-director Mark Thiedeman offers up a debut feature that balances haunting beauty with adolescent passion.
Dir: Gilitte Leung, Scr: Gilitte Leung, Hedy Yau, 2012, China, subtitled, 92 min.
Aggie might be in love with her roommate Dennis. They've been friends since primary school and have lived in the same Hong Kong flat for years. But here's the rub: Aggie's a lesbian and Dennis is gay. The two have never been interested in the opposite sex. But love is complicated in Gilitte Leung's dazzling Chinese romance, especially when Dennis gets wind of how Aggie feels. Suddenly, a loving relationship doesn't look so bad, even if Dennis' friends think he's losing his mind.
Dir: Jeff Roy; 2012, USA, 74 min.
Maya, a successful transgender Muslim woman, has not yet undergone the sexual reassignment surgery that her family has told her they will not accept. When she decides to journey to Thailand to take the final step, Maya will have to deal with both the physical effects of the surgery and her conflict over her own devout beliefs on her path to achieving the freedom to be who she truly is. Director Jeff Roy's accomplished debut documentary follows Maya on her inspiring, uplifting and surprisingly funny journey.

Breaking the Evangelism Code: Evangelism Today
Many churches and Christians have fallen for the lie that evangelism, or at least some methods of evangelism, do not work today; debate about this goes on among Christians. All this happens in the church, while lost people—people without Jesus—are dying and heading for an eternal hell. Jesus calls every Christian to be His witness… Click the image for more information on how to get this book.

There's a new bridal sheriff in town, and she's a downright pleasure to work with. Her name is Bridechilla, and she floats through the wedding planning process with style and grace! Defined...
: a soon to be married lady who is unflappable (cool, calm and collected), equanimous (perfectly poised, dependable and level-headed), and the true antithesis of everything a bridezilla represents.
And I think all of us nearlyweds could steal a few pages from bridechilla's book!
You might find bridechilla sipping cocktails poolside before heading to her rehearsal dinner, or getting down and dirty with the kiddos at the wedding. You won't, however, see her going nuclear on her planner, ripping her groom a new one, or breaking down in tears for the umpteenth that day.
Here are five potentially sticky wedding situations, and how a bridezilla vs. a bridechilla would react:
So... what do you think of this new breed of bride? She sure beats the bridezilla, don't you think?? Sound off below!

Its a nice guide and pretty much what I've done to get Zimbra working on EC2. Two points though.
Firstly you probably don't need all those firewall ports open. I would only open what you need and I find there are very few cases now where you shouldn't only use the SSL version of a protocol.
You haven't mentioned changing the hostname or the fact that when you have to reboot the machine you need to update all the IP addresses as your private IP (and possibly your public one if you haven't reserved one) will change.
I have a document somewhere with what I update on a reboot and I'll see if I can find it.
Here it is
Code:* Edit /etc/bind/db.
to reflect the new IP address. Increment the serial no. * Edit /etc/hosts to reflect the new IP sudo nano /etc/hosts * Restart bind sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart * Stop the Zimbra server sudo su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol stop" * Restart Zimbra sudo su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start"
Thanks for the tips. I'll update the guide with your recommendations.
I think you can update the /etc/rc.local file with the hostname info to prevent it being lost on reboot.
That document would be great. I'm wondering if the required private IP address updates could be automated and enclosed into a boot script.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Just seen your post.
That's great. Will include this on the guide.
Also found that you need to remove the following line from the /etc/resolv.conf file to allow Zimbra to route incoming mail properly.
Code:search ec2.internal
Seems that the some people had issues with the ec2 dhcp client overwriting the resolv.conf file configuration:
Here's a possible resolution:
Edit the
/etc/dhclient.conffile (create one if it doesn't exist) to look like the following:
supersede domain-name "yourdomain.com" ;
prepend domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ;my internal EC2 IP address
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents your EC2′s internal IP address (e.g. 10.x.x.x)
Next, run the following command to force the changes (if need be).
$ dhclient -r ; dhclient
After doing this, check your /etc/resolv.conf file to ensure the changes have indeed been made.
The resolv.conf settings should now remain permanent, and persist during normal daily operation of your Zimbra server.

"The Comedy"
Synopsis: A privileged hipster hangs out with his vapid pals in Williamsburg, as they gradually test their limits.
What You Need To Know: Satirizing hipsters might seem like shooting really trendy, ironic fish in a barrel, but in the hands of filmmaker Rick Alverson ("New Jerusalem"), we wouldn't expect "The Comedy" to focus on easy targets and low-hanging fruit. Featuring a dramatic debut from Tim Heidecker in the lead, along with his partner Eric Wareheim (their other movie, in their more recognizable guises, "Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie," also bows at Sundance) and an acting role from LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, the film adds up to an intriguing mix of Brooklyn icons that should deliver something more knowing and self-reflexive than it might initially seem. The Sundance brochure makes it sounds more like "Dogtooth" than "Greenberg," which is something that we're certainly on board for.
When? Sundance - 21st, 23rd, 26th & 28th (Park City) 24th (Sundance Resort), 27th, (SLC)
"Comes A Bright Day"
Synopsis: Two young people fall in love after being taken hostage during the robbery of a jewelery store.
What You Need To Know: Imogen Poots had a pretty good 2011, between a supporting turn in "Jane Eyre" and a lead in "Fright Night." Craig Roberts had a pretty good 2011 too, thanks to his lead role in Richard Ayoade's "Submarine." And now, two of the brightest talents to come out of the U.K. in the last twelve months have been paired up, in an intriguingly genre-hopping picture, from debut writer-director Simon Aboud. The pair are backed up by Kevin McKidd ("Rome," "Grey's Anatomy") and veteran Timothy Spall, while costumes come from famed designed Paul Smith, so if nothing else, it'll be the best-dressed film since "A Single Man." Blending thriller, heist and romance, it's an odd little mix, but the casting has us interested enough to want to see how it all turns out.
When? May make a sales appearance in Berlin, but otherwise it'll likely turn up later in the year.
"Computer Chess"
Synopsis: The story follows computer programmers in the 1980s as they test artificial intelligence... through chess tournaments.
What You Need To Know: Probably one of the most talented directors to be part of that dreadful m-word American film movement (m*mbl*c*re), Andrew Bujalski has been sorely missed since we last saw him in 2009 with the fantastic and criminally underseen "Beeswax." Thankfully his new film, a period piece if you will, not only succeeded in its crowd-sourcing endeavor but completed shooting late last summer and is likely to crop up any day now. While the "Funny Ha Ha" filmmaker will be keeping it real by using people he knows as opposed to trained actors for the main roles (a gaggle of folk including a "former comp sci student turned treehouse-dwelling chocolatier"), this film will mark his move away from celluloid and flatbed editing -- instead, the digital cameras of the era will be used. It sounds like an interesting prospect and quite a bizarre world, especially considering how far we've come technologically since then. Smartly, Bujalski has insisted that he will not include any wink-wink 1980s references, but his camera will be watching these characters like a hawk and there will be plenty of humor despite the lack of Suncoast Video references.
When? We'd put cold hard cash on a SXSW premiere.
"The Door"
Synopsis: A young Hungarian writer hires a housekeeper, an eccentric, fiercely private woman, and begins a relationship that changes both their lives.
What You Need To Know: Now that she's got her Oscar in the bag, Helen Mirren seems to be taking parts in, well, whatever the hell she feels like -- from commercial projects like "Red" and "Arthur" to more offbeat fare like "The Tempest" and David Mamet's HBO Phil Spector movie that will air later in 2012. But "The Door" promises to be one of her most challenging, fascinating roles to date. Based on the excellent novel by Hungarian writer Magda Szabo, and helmed by one of the country's top directors in Istvan Szabo (no relation -- the director of "Sunshine," "Taking Sides" and "Being Julia"), she'll play the maddening, mysterious housekeeper in what could turn out to be a film that gets her further awards buzz. Szabo's somewhat underrated these days, but the combination of him and Mirren should be an interesting one.
When? Szabo's been a Cannes favorite in the past, but less so recently; Toronto may be more likely.
"The End of Love"
Synopsis: An out-of-work actor is forced to become a single father when his son's mother suddenly passes away.
What You Need To Know: Having stolen the show repeatedly in Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," Mark Webber steps back behind the camera to follow-up his debut "Explicit Ills," which won three awards at SXSW, including the Narrative Feature Audience Award. This time, he's starring as well, alongside his own two-year-old son and a cast of famous pals that includes Shannyn Sossamon, Michael Cera, Jason Ritter and Amanda Seyfried. It could just be the kind of man-child-grows-up narrative we've seen many times before, but in Webber's hands we're expecting something much rawer and more honest, and it could really elevate him into the big leagues.
When? Sundance - 21st, 23rd, 25th & 27th (Park City), 22nd (Sundance Resort), 24th (SLC).

Anubhuti Vishnoi: The perception about your predecessors in the environment ministry, Jairam Ramesh and Jayanthi Natarajan, was that they were anti-industry. Tell us about the kind of ministry you inherited from Natarajan... the backlog of files and the challenges it threw up for you.
I need not speak about legacy. But I pick up from legacy. We do our policemans job many a time, and we need to apply the law very strictly. There is no compromise on that. If they (Ramesh and Natarajan) have done it, I find no fault with them. I also have to do the same thing.
Sunil Jain: The ONGC is facing a problemall the gas that it is finding now is in the deep or ultra-deep water, which is why it is not able to find companies to partner with, especially with the CAG guidelines. ONGC does not have the capability to get into this deep water. How will you address their issue of finding a partner?
This is not correct. I have visited all these deep-into-the-sea places and discussed with them. They are capable, they have the proficiency, expertise and manpower. The only question is about a few places near Karaikal (Puducherry), Ramanathapuram (Tamil Nadu) and all those districts where you get a very different kind of a gas, which is very hard and requires injection of a new kind of technology. So, they are trying to get that technology, and they will get a partner.
Sunil Jain: We have this situation where the RIL has a gas field in D1 and D3. The government, rightly or wrongly, thinks that the RIL is suppressing production so that it can benefit from higher gas prices. RIL denies this. The easiest way to resolve this matter is to hire an expert. Given that you have been so proactive, why is it so difficult to get a neutral expert to figure out whether RIL is indeed keeping the gas?
I agree with you. A solution has to be found. There are two mattersone is before the arbitration. I dont want to comment on

Synopsis: French rock icon Johnny Hallyday plays Jacques, a retired war photographer attempting to live a peaceful life in the Alps. With a new girlfriend, Nathalie, he appears content, but his old friend Frédéric, played by another singing idol, Eddy Mitchell, knows better. There is a little matter of four daughters, each one from a different conquest, each one estranged from him, and each leaving their shadow on Jacques' emotional life. Realizing that reconciliation is the thing Jacques craves most, Frédéric, a doctor, concocts a little lie to convince the daughters to visit their absentee father. Well, not so little. In fact, it's a really big lie, and as the family gathers, as accounts are settled through tears and laughter, the lie gets harder and harder to retract. [Synopsis courtesy of COLCOA]

Boating safety and seamanship education is a priority for many Seattle Yacht Club members. Educational opportunities are available throughout the year at Powerboat and Sailboat Committee meetings, Women's Group programs and classes offered by the Seamanship, Education, and Environment Committee (SEE). All events are open to SYC Members and their guests and some of the events may be open to the public in conjunction with the Membership Development Committee.
Please visit the Seamanship, Education and Environment web page for more information and resource material.
Space is limited and we expect all sessions to sell out. Registration and additional course description can be found on-line by clicking on the event description (SYC members only).
