I was recruited by a friend (who quit immediately after ordering her $1800 and never selling any of it). My director (who's a nat'l) had me order full inventory. I have a very large network of friends and happened to be really good at selling the products. I actually paid off my inventory and started making a profit after 4 months. I was prompted to become a director.

I bought these wrenches for the price. Over the years I have spent thousands on other brands giving into the hipe that you only get what you pay for. These wrenches perform as good as my more expensive brands and I usually reach for the Pittsburg wrenches first because of thier extra length. They have not rounded any bolts off like most cheaper priced wrenches do and they are very strong. I have even hooked two wrenches together for even more leverage without damaging or bending them. My only complaint it they are not sold individually, there are two common sizes I use and it would be nice to purchase extras for when I need to use the same size at one time without buying a complete other set. But for the price, it is worth it.

About Jeff Smith
Jeff Smith (born February 27, 1960) is an American cartoonist, best known as the creator of the self-published comic book series BONE. Smith solidified the '90s' Self-Publishing Movement when he joined other self-publishers and launched a new era of independent comics publishing, a movement that captured nearly 20% of the growing comics book market. In 1993, Smith breathed new life into the Graphic Novel format with The Complete BONE Adventures Volume One: Out From Boneville, which sold an unprecedented 50,000 copies in its first year. BONE won numerous American awards including 10 Eisner Awards and 11 Harveys, as well as European awards from Italy, Germany, and the French Alph Art.
In 2005, BONE was chosen to launch the first graphic novel series for children from a major publishing house, Graphix, an imprint of Scholastic Books.

Later works include critically acclaimed SHAZAM: The Monster Society of Evil, and Little Mouse Gets Ready, a comic for emerging readers that received a Geisel Honor in 2009. In 2013, Smith guest edited The Best American Comics anthology, and released his second major work, RASL, a dark, hard-boiled sci-fi story that focuses on an art thief who hops through dimensional barriers, hiding out on various parallel worlds.

Leeds United Message Board
Three positions
Centre back, centre midfield and centre forward.. the three positions that most urgently need strenghtening.. Forget about who we have been linked with, who would you like to see? Realistic choices preferred...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Yep, Alan, the guy has the awards to prove it.
He's just a name I threw into the hat, Andy, because of Bates reluctance to throw cash around. He only scored about 6 last season, but with the service your guys could give him he'd do the business.
100 per center Steve is---every club he's played for the fans have taken to him, and he's also a good number 5. But he's 34, I've been on the dog and bone to Larry and he said he's already been thinking about it.
'Sounds too good to be true, Alan. Why would Leicester release a 20 goal striker to a competitor for £500K? 'Give Larry a call.
Pete, you ask a good question but there are no easy answers, except 'don't know'. The 'realistic choices' caveat ensures that we don't know because players we are likely to know about will have high profiles and, threfore, high price tags.
When the average value of a player in the Leeds squad is circa £500K, recruiting players with tags of over £1M is sure to cause disharmony. Hooper, for instance, could certainly do a job for us but, with an asking price of £2.5M, how is that going to make Paynter, Becchio et al feel?
For the sake of harmony and team integrity, I'd prefer to see Larry strengthen key position with surprisingly good unknowns - probably from abroad; as he seems to have written-off our present crop of Academy youngsters.

The Leeds' (playing) squad is still less than 25. There are seven (or more) other players to be either loaned or sold to other clubs. Seven more will then be needed to bring us up to a healthy 32-man squad. Look at the squad list below, it shows where we need strengthening.
GK Kasper Schmeichel
GK Shane Higgs
GK Alan Martin
GK Ryan Jones
LB Ben Parker (likely injured for start of season)
LB Federico Bessone
RB Paul Connolly
RB Jason Crowe
CB Patrick Kisnorbo (injured for first few months of season)
CB Richard Naylor (currently struggling for fitness)
CB Leigh Bromby
CB Neill Collins.

Grayson says, 'players can force themselves back into favour'. This now seems unlikely as none of the following travelled to the close season games:
Alan Sheehan
Tresor Kandol
Andy Robinson
Lubomir Michalik
Elliott, Hatfield, and Jones were not included in the touring side. It would seem that they are surplus to requirements.

Just as youth advocates hail the fact that sales of "alcopops," sweet drinks containing alcohol, are declining among kids, another product is raising concerns -- alcopops in powder form, which are growing in popularity.
The company subyou sells its alcohol powder online as well
They look harmless enough, the inconspicuous packets often next to the cashier at gas stations, convenience stores, beverage stores and bars. But according to consumer protection officials, that's what makes them all the more dangerous, since the powder inside contains alcohol, and a lot of it -- about 4.8 percent by volume. That is the equivalent of one to one-and-a-half glasses of liquor.
The product is called subyou, manufactured by a company in North Rhine-Westphalia, and is marketed squarely at teenagers with slogans like "taste for not much dough" and "gets a good buzz going." Add the powder to cold water, and consumers have an alcoholic drink containing either vodka or rum.
"These are just as dangerous as the alcopops that came in the bottles," Birgit Rehlender, nutrition expert at consumer affairs organization Stiftung Warentest told Der Spiegel weekly.
Tax exempt
While authorities were able to curtail the consumption of alcopops with a special tax on the drinks last August -- which put them out of the reach of many teenage budgets -- these new alcopops in powder form cost between 1.65 and 2.40 euros ($2.06 and $3.00) per package. Subyou is able to get around the tax because its product comes in powder form.
The little packets that pack a wallop
Besides the high alcohol content, youth advocates also worry about the powder's other ingredients, including high levels of preservatives, sorbic acid, and dyes that have not been approved by health experts.
Consumer protection authorities, such as Waltraud Fesser from Rhineland-Palatinate, would like to see the special tax on liquid alcopops be applied to their cousins in powder form.
"As soon as alcohol enters into the picture, we have to protect our young people," she said.
In an attempt to tackle teenage alcohol consumption, European politicians are targeting Alcopops, the trendy fruit-flavored alcoholic beverages preferred by young drinkers. Taxation is the choice method. (Aug. 7, 2004)
The traditional German pastimes of boozing and smoking are no longer just the preserve of the working man. Instead they have become the pleasure of an alarming percentage of the nation's youth. (Aug. 26, 2004)

There should be no doubt about who a two-day break benefits most prior to Sunday's critical Game 4 between upset-minded Indiana and a Miami team on the cusp of wearing the underachiever label for the second consecutive year.
Beyond the schedule going the Heat's way, little else is. Chris Bosh remains in South Florida, sidelined with an abdominal strain. Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers command the attention of the training staff while the Pacers rest comfortably in their own beds, up 2-1 after an emphatic 93-75 win on Thursday.
The bandwagon is leaking backers, including Vegas oddsmakers that have removed the favorite tag, opting for sizzling San Antonio (7/4) and dropping the Heat to 10/3 (Bet $100 to win $333), according to Bovada.lv. Keeping the faith for Miami is the series price, now at -131 despite the deficit, but Michael Ray Richardson's old "ship be sinking" take can certainly be applied.
The prevailing image from Game 3 saw Wade hollering at head coach Erik Spoelsta, taking exception with criticism from a coach he's known since coming into the league. From his seat at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, team president Pat Riley stared intently into the huddle, hoping the situation wouldn't escalate further.
Which brings me to what you should know about Game 4: it's a point-of-no-return situation for the Miami Heat.
Lose, and elimination becomes inevitable. Lose, and either Spoelstra is dismissed this offseason or Riley's original Big 3 plan ends up disbanded. There's no reprieve coming. Change would be deemed necessary. The spotlight has been too bright, the target too large and the sacrifices too great if there's no championship reward to be had. Not six, not seven, not eight... not one.
Riley is faced with having to make decisions he wants no part of, as Miami has manifested the cliché of backing itself against a wall.
The Heat carries massive baggage into Sunday afternoon, so your belief in whether their catalysts are healthy and mentally tough enough to handle this challenge should dictate your wager. Wade isn't 100 percent, but he's still the same guy who opened the fourth quarter of Game 2 with five straight makes. Unfortunately, he followed up with three key misses in the final minutes and that debacle of an effort the other night. He's never been mentally fragile, so the slump won't carry over from that standpoint, but if he's injured and unable get the necessary lift to carry out his responsibilities, Miami stands no chance.
LeBron James took a Cavs team that was worse than this Heat squad to the 2007 NBA Finals via hero ball, but that simply won't fly against an Indiana team that owns huge advantages in post play and 3-point shooting. Without Bosh to help spread the floor, the Pacers have done a great job sending extra bodies at Miami's big guns, relying on center Roy Hibbert to protect the rim. The 7-footer has actually been able to roam since the Pacers have such little respect for Joel Anthony and Ronny Turiaf, further complicating matters.
Larry Bird was rightfully just named the league's top executive this past week. Landing winners David West and George Hill has rounded out a unit that gets it done at both ends. The midseason acquisition of Leandro Barbosa further fortified a bench that has dominated the Heat throughout the series. Indiana is plenty good enough. Anyone who laid 14/1 (Bet $100 to win $1,400) on the Pacers getting out of the Eastern Conference when this series started should immediately put that ticket in a safe. Frank Vogel's team has dominated both the Magic and Heat coming out of the halftime break and has persevered down the stretch well enough to get to this point.
The Heat got into the penalty against Indiana in the second quarter of Game 3 with 7:41 left and failed to capitalize, shooting just four free throws in the quarter. Wade shot none. Is this proof that he's not right? Anyone who saw him get to the line at will to win a championship against Dallas in 2006 would argue his skills have deteriorated, but anyone who has watched him all season would tell you his will hasn't.
That inability to capitalize from the stripe contributed to the Game 3 loss and the 'under' prevailed in a game that was played at an 'over' pace. Still, it's hard to argue that Miami's best chance to win is to defend like there's no tomorrow.
The Heat have scored 75 points in each of the last two games and have seen the 'under' go 13-2-1 in games where Bosh has been out of the lineup since his arrival. Miami is shooting 5-for-42 from 3-point range through the first three meetings in this series.
Coming off Mario Chalmers'25-point breakout game and given the fact that Udonis Haslem, Mike Miller and Shane Battier can't shoot the ball any worse than they have are cause for optimism that the Heat can get enough to complement Wade and James and get out of Indianapolis with a split.
They'll only survive if Wade shows up to give James help. No one is crying for Miami over losing one of its $100 million stars. Two is supposed to be enough, if both are doing their part. James, normally the largest question mark in the room, is the given now.
Wade is the variable. Will two days serve to rejuvenate mind and body? His response will dictate whether his Heat even this series or face an uncertain future.
Most sports books opened Miami as a two-point road favorite for Sunday and the number has dropped to 1 ½-points. The Heat has never won a playoff game at Indiana, owning a 0-4 record with the three other losses coming during the 2004 postseason.
Miami has only lost three consecutive games once this season, which came at Denver on Jan. 13. There were four other instances when the Heat faced the possibility of dropping three in a row, but they went 4-0 in those games, three of the wins by double digits.
Including Thursday's win, Indiana is 3-1 both straight up and against the spread at home in the playoffs, with the victories coming by 15, 18 and 19 points.
Today's contest will tip at 3:30 p.m. ET with ABC providing national coverage.
Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday at American Airlines Arena in Miami.

NCAA Football
2012 SEC Championship - Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama and Georgia square off to crown the SEC Champion, but that is not all that is at stake in this game. The winner will go on to face Notre Dame in the National Championship game, and the loser will likely get bumped down far enough to miss all BCS Bowl games. If Georgia wins this would be their first chance at a National Championship since 1980, and an Alabama win would mean the Tide would play for back-to-back titles.

By Sharon Mulligan, Combined Arms Support Command Public Affairs OfficeJune 27, 2012
FORT LEE, Va. -- Under a bright blue Virginia sky, Maj. Gen. James L. Hodge bid farewell to the Army after serving 34 years on active duty. Hundreds gathered at the 1st Logistical Command War Memorial June 26 to celebrate the career of the former Combined Arms Support Command commanding general.
Presiding over the ceremony was Lt. Gen. David D. Halverson, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command deputy commanding general, who not only praised Hodge's time in the service but also shared his admiration for the general's family.
"The Hodges are an amazing Army story," Halverson said, as he explained how they met and the journey they, and their children, have taken together. He also spoke of their commitment to family and how that contributes to the resiliency of the military.
"He has distinguished himself in each and every assignment…But it's not about accomplishments. It's about the people and experiences we have along the way," Halverson said, before he presented Hodge with his Certificate of Retirement.
After receiving many awards, Hodge spoke briefly about his career but rather than focus on himself, his remarks highlighted the family and friends who have meant so much to him and his wife.
"It's nearly impossible to count the blessings we've received over the past 34 years…Michelle and I have had a wonderful Army career. It seems like I can only remember all the good things that happened along the way. I've always loved the jobs, but I've loved the people more and I'm extremely grateful for all the friendship, mentoring and encouragement along the way."

In my last post I announced I'll be judging the pies category for the Earth Balance Holiday Bake-Off. So, it's only appropriate that I share a pie recipe with you all, yes?
Before I do, I want to clarify my role with this bake-off. I am not being compensated by Earth Balance to judge or promote this bake-off. I did receive some sample products (peanut butters, snacks), but I'm not receiving any financial compensation. I didn't disclose this in my last post, and want you all to know that I'm supporting this bake-off to (1) help encourage people to move into vegan baking, and (2) also to encourage you all to enter the contest. Please do!
With that, I'll share my recipe for Dreena's Pecan Pie. This is a recipe from Let Them Eat Vegan. I loved pecan pie in my pre-vegan days. Did you?
With this version, I keep the pecan topping more distinct from the custardy filling. I like having that contrast with the creamy filling and the pecans maintaining crunch (rather than plumping through baking). This is delicious on its own, but oh-my-heavens, pair it with a vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for dessert bliss!
Dreena's Pecan Pie
1½ tbsp arrowroot powder
½ + 1/8 tsp agar powder
1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk (not light), using only thick cream and discarding watery portion (this is about 1 cup + 2 – 4 tbsp of cream)
¼ cup plain unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond or soy preferred)
½ cup brown rice syrup
1/3 cup agave nectar (can substitute maple syrup but filling will be darker in color)
1 ½ tbsp flax meal
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
¼ tsp (rounded) sea salt
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 ¼ – 1 3/4 cups pecans (whole or pieces, see note)
1 ½ – 2 tbsp unrefined sugar (for topping)
2 tsp coconut butter (warmed through to melt; can sub 1-2 tsp coconut oil)
couple pinches sea salt
1 prepared pastry pie crust (I use Wholly Wholesome brand), or can use "Rustic Pie Crust" or "Gluten-Free Pie Crust", both in Let Them Eat Vegan.
In a saucepan, first whisk together the arrowroot and agar with a small amount of the coconut milk or non-dairy milk (about ¼ cup). Once incorporated, whisk in the remainder of the milks, as well as the brown rice syrup, agave nectar, flax meal, nutmeg, and salt. Bring mixture to a low boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Once at a boil, remove from heat and whisk in vanilla. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool in refrigerator to a cooler temperature (can still be fairly warm), stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, mix together the topping ingredients. Set aside and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Once filling is cooled somewhat, pour mixture into the pie shell (scraping out all you can!) Bake (without pecan topping) for 15 minutes. After that time, reduce heat to 350, sprinkle on pecan mixture, ever so gently patting into surface of filling. Bake for another 15 minutes, then carefully remove and let cool on a cooling rack. Once pie is fully cooled, it will set (refrigerate if desired). Slice and serve. Serves 6-8.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with "Lemon-Scented Whipped Cream" from LTEV, or a scoop on vanilla non-dairy ice cream.
Pecan Note: If using whole pecans, it's helpful to roughly chop them before using in the recipe. It's easier to cut the pie with the pecan pieces broken up rather than kept whole. I prefer this pie with just 1¼ cups of pecans, but if you really love plenty of pecans in your pecan pie, use the full 1 3/4 cups. If using the greater amount of pecans, then also use the greater amount of sugar and oil to toss through the pecans.

So guys, what do you think? Is this a recipe you might make for the holidays? Or, have you already made it? Share your thoughts! I love hearing from you. 🙂
Enjoy… x Dreena

"CMA CGM and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines plan to share vessel capacity, and jointly operate routes and marine container terminals, the latest sign of how global container lines are aiming to tap Iran's potential due to the lifting of economic sanctions. Executives of the third-largest container line and the state-owned carrier in Paris Thursday signed a preliminary agreement outlining how the duo plans to cooperate, according to Reuters. The signing — part of a spate of trade deals signed between French and Iranian firms during an official state visit by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to Paris — comes after the U.S., the EU and other countries agreed to lift an economic embargo in exchange for Iran ending its nuclear arms program. CMA CGM will also open six offices across Iran effective April 1 as it seeks to become a 'key player' in trade between Iran and the rest of the world, according to Le Monde, a French newspaper. The agreement is still subject to some sanctions, the specifics of which were not immediately available. The six offices will be in Tehran, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Khorramshahr, Bandar Imam Khomeini and Chabahar. International shipping firms have been reentering the Iranian market as sanctions are gradually lifted, with CMA CGM and Evergreen resuming services to the country over the summer of 2015… The carriers are eager to get their share of Iran's containerized trade, which some have predicted could grow as much as 25 percent a year." (JOC, "CMA CGM, Iran Shipping Lines team up," 1/28/2016)
"The world's third-largest container shipping group, France's CMA CGM, said on Monday it would resume operations to Iran following the deal between Tehran and world powers over the Middle Eastern country's nuclear programme. 'Following the recent positive developments involving Iran and the P5+1 Group - comprising the U.S., China, France, the UK, Germany and Russia - and with the conclusion of the joint comprehensive plan of action, CMA CGM Group has decided to resume service to Iran starting (at the) beginning August 2015,' it said in an email." (Reuters, "Container shipper CMA CGM to resume service to Iran," 8/3/15)
"An Iranian official says the French CMA CGM shipping company has chosen southern Iranian Shahid Rajaei port as the port of call for its container ships. Ebrahim Idani, director general of Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Department, told reporters on Wednesday that the development has come after Iran and the P5+1 group of countries clinched an agreement over Tehran's civilian nuclear program in Vienna last week... The Iranian official said France's CMA CGM is the world's third biggest shipping company which transports container goods and its first container ship will berth at Shahid Rajaei port in early August. 'The container ship, which will call at Shahid Rajaei port is the Andromeda. It is 363 meters (m) long with a draft of 15.5 m, which can carry 11,500 TEU of containers. It will unload its containers at the second terminal of Shahid Rajaei port,' he added. Idani stated that the Andromeda has started its journey from the Far East and is bound for the Persian Gulf. 'It has chosen 10 big ports for berthing along its way and since Shahid Rajaei port enjoys international standards for accommodating big vessels, the French ship has chosen it as one of its ports of call,' he added. The official noted that investments made in the development of Shahid Rajaei port in the past years have made it a suitable destination for giant container-carrying vessels. Shahid Rajaei port is located 23 kilometers west of Bandar Abbas, the capital city of southern Iranian province of Hormozgan. The port is equipped with 18 gantry cranes and 41 docks, which make it the biggest and most modern container port in Iran." (PressTV, "French container ship to call at southern Iranian port," 7/22/15)
"Tougher conditions led to AP Moller-Maersk's Maersk Line, the world's biggest container company, pulling out entirely from Iran last year, joining an exodus including the world's number two and three MSC and CMA CGM and smaller groups like Germany's Hapag-Lloyd." (Reuters, "Iran faces fresh trade heat as more shipping firms exit," 5/7/2013)
"CMA CGM, the world's third-largest container shipping group, stopped exports from Iran in July and since September has been scanning all containers bound for Iran from the UAE." (Reuters, "Sanctions blowback crippling Iran's shipping trade," 12/1/2011)
"CMA CGM, the world's third-largest container shipping group, stopped export shipments from Iran in July and has been scanning all containers bound for the Islamic Republic since September, the French company said onWednesday... 'In July 2011 the CMA CGM group decided to stop all exports out of Iran,' the company said in an emailed statement to Reuters on Wednesday... CMA CGM had said in a note to customers in September it was introducing a scanning process from Khor Fakkan for all Iranian inbound container cargo, 'in order to maintain a safe service in regards of the international sanctions'... The shipping restrictions introduced by CMA CGM come after its announcement in June of extra security checks covering its activities in Iran, including the creation of an 'Iran Compliance Desk'. CMA CGM was criticised by certain members of the U.S. Congress for lax security in Iran after an arms seizure in March by Israel aboard one of the firm's ships, which the Israelis said concerned Iranian-supplied weapons bound for Gaza. The French group said it was the victim of a false freight declaration and was not accused of wrongdoing by Israel." (Reuters, "UPDATE 1-French shipper CMA CGM stops exporting from Iran," 11/30/2011)
CMA CGM's website lists an office in Iran – an agency in Bandar Abbas and a head office in Tehran. Both are listed under the Jahan Darya Shipping Agency (CMA CGM Website).
Line Services
CMA CGM's Cimex 1 Line travels between major East Asian ports [China, South Korea] and the Persian Gulf, stopping in Bandar Abbas and advertising "direct service to Iran." The route is operated weekly by six vessels over 42 days (Cimex 1 Line Info).
CMA CGM's Gulf Emirates Qatar Feeder Line is a triangular route between Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran's Bushehr Container Terminal. The route is operated weekly by two vessels over 14 days (Gulf Emirates Qatar Feeder Line Info).
CMA CGM's Swahili Express Line is a triangular route between East African ports, India, and the Persian Gulf, including Bandar Abbas. The route is operated every nine days by five vessels (Swahili Express Line Info).
Uses Tidewater Middle East Co.'s private terminals in the Shahid Rajaee Port Complex. (Tidewater: Reflection of Tomorrow)
On June 23, 2011, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Tidewater Middle East Co. ("Tidewater"), Iran's major port operator, in response to the fact that Tidewater is owned by the IRGC and used by the IRGC for illicit activities including weapons shipments. (U.S. Department of the Treasury Press Center, "Treasury Sanctions Major Iranian Commercial Entities," 6/23/11) Tidewater is also sanctioned by the EU for being owned or controlled by the IRGC. (Official Journal or the European Union: Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2010)
CMA CGM's wholly-owned subsidiary Delmas, which provides "intermodal services to and from Africa," lists that it operates out of six Iranian ports: Asaluyeh, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khomeini, Bandar Shahid Rejaie Sez, Bushehr Container Terminal, and Khorramshahr.
CMA CGM's wholly-owned subsidiary ANL (Australia National Line), a cargo shipping company which ships "to/from and around Australia/New Zealand to anywhere in the world," operates under ANL Singapore Pte Ltd in Iran. ANL East West Service covers Asia, the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Europe. Its ISC 1 line uses the port of Bandar Abbas.
CMA CGM conducts extensive business with the U.S. CMA CGM America LLC, the company's U.S. branch, is headquartered in Norfolk, VA. Its website advertises that CGM CMA America provides 21 North American services, has posted sustained double-digit growth, and it is among the top ten container shipping companies in the U.S. (CMA CGM America LLC).
CMA CGM has received over $18 million in US government contracts in the past decade, 97% of which came from the U.S. Navy (USAspending.gov).
In January 2010, CMA CGM started port operations in Iran's Bushehr port. CMA CGM chose Bushehr "due to its reasonable infrastructure established in the past few years " and "announced its readiness to work with Bushehr port after months of studying and gaining assurance about the Iranian ports capability in exporting, importing and transiting containers." CMA CGM announced at the time that it would "increase its activities in the [Bushehr] port 10 times more than present (Tehran Times, "Giant shipping line starts operation in Bushehr", 1/9/10)."
Nigeria Incident – MV CMA CGM Everest
Iranian arms shipment to Africa
Violation: UN Security Council Resolution 1929 (Iran)
October 2010
- Nigerian authorities seized 13 shipping containers carrying illegal Iranian weaponry at Lagos' Apapa Port. The containers included 107 mm artillery rockets (Katyushas), explosives and rifle ammunition. The arms were to be shipped next to Gambia, with the final destination of the cargo possibly the Gaza Strip.
- The MV CMA CGM Everest originally picked up the containers from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. CMA CGM says it was victim of a false cargo declaration, claiming the weapons were shipped in packages labeled as "glass wool and pallets of stone" and that the Iranian shipper "does not appear on any forbidden persons listing" (AP, "Nigeria: Shipper confirms weapons came from Iran," 10/30/10).
- In November, Nigeria reported the seizure of the illegal arms shipment to the UN Security Council, accusing Iran of violating UN Resolution 1929. The resolution bans Iran from "supplying, selling or transferring directly or indirectly from its territory or by its nationals… any arms or related material." Two Nigeria-based members of the Qods Force, an elite unit of the IRGC, were implicated in the arms shipment. (Reuters, "Nigeria Reports Iran Arms Seizure to UN," 11/16/10)
UAE Incident – ANL-Australia
North Korean arms shipment to Iran (potentially including BM-25 missile components)
Violation: UN Security Council Resolution 1874 (North Korea)
July 2009
- The UAE reportedly "seized a ship secretly carrying embargoed North Korean arms to Iran… The UAE reported the seizure to the UN sanctions committee responsible for vetting the implementation of measures, including an arms embargo, imposed against North Korea under Security Council resolution 1874 [banning all North Korean arms exports]."
- "The UAE reported the ship was carrying 10 containers of weapons and related items, including rocket-propelled grenades and ammunition [as well as detonators]. He [the UN diplomat] said the consignment had been ordered by Iran's TSS, a company said to be linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and previously subject to international bans on importing weapons-related items" (Financial Times, "'N Korean arms for Iran' seized by UAE," 8/28/09).
- The weapons were carried on the Australian vessel, the ANL-Australia, which was flying under a Bahamian flag. ANL is a wholly-owned CMA-CGM subsidiary. The exporting company was an Italian shipper, Otim, which exported the items from its Shanghai office (loaded in Dalian, China). The cargo manifest reportedly said the shipment contained oil-boring machines.
- The UN Security Council sanctions committee reportedly conducted its own investigation into the violation, as well as the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. (The Wall Street Journal, "Cargo of North Korea Matériel Is Seized en Route to Iran," 8/31/09)
- In December 2009, the nature of the cargo was described for the first time, which included: "2,030 detonators for 122mm [short-range] rockets, as well as electric circuitry and a large quantity of solid-fuel propellant" (The Washington Post, "Arms smuggling heightens Iran fears," 12/3/09)
- In December 2009, the Japanese news agency Kyodo reported Iran had postponed the test launch of a new intermediate-range ballistic missile because they had not received the delivery of key electronic components allegedly contained in the intercepted North Korean shipment. According to a diplomatic source, "The shipment of the electronic components was supposed to be part of the new agreement signed in late 2008 between Iran and North Korea for the continued supply of the new missile's technology." The components are said to be for the BM-25 (or Musudan) missile, which has a target range of 2,500 to 3,500 kilometers, thus posing a threat to most of Europe. Pyongyang reportedly exported components to assemble 19 such missiles to Iran in 2005. The BM-25 would be Iran's longest-range missile. (Kyodo News International, "Iran delays missile test due to row with N. Korea over parts delivery," 12/6/09)
- In November 2010, the BM-25 missile transfer was revisited when new information was revealed in the WikiLeaks-released U.S. diplomatic cables. According to the cable, secret American intelligence assessments have concluded that Iran has obtained a cache of advanced missiles, based on a Russian design. The missiles would for the first time give Iran the capacity to strike at capitals in Western Europe or Moscow, and they could potentially carry a nuclear warhead. (The New York Times, "Iran Fortifies Its Arsenal With the Aid of North Korea," 11/29/10)

Hi, I'd like to use vector icons/psd buttons on my website. How do you guys do that?
you have to publish them to a format that is web viewable.
I optimize and publish for web in photoshop usually as png, or gif if the image doesn't need to be so high quality
Say for example instead of "Home" or "Showcase" or "Extend", I'd like images or icons in place of the words in the Pages/Tabs section - what do I do?
Or say an icon beside my Category sidebar for each category - how do I do that?
Would be completely lovely if anyone could help.
P.S: Mods if you can't answer my question fully, pointing me to a resource page would be greatly appreciated as well.
@RVoodoo: Thank you so much for your input. I have rephrased my question. Wonder if you could still kindly help me out here. :)
Anyone please?
well a simple icon link looks like:
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/yourimage.png" alt="link" />
that uses an image (saved in the images folder in your theme) as a link
If you want to actually use images in your WP generated menu, its a bit harder.
