Cumbrian man caught with cocaine worth £90,000 jailed
Last updated at 11:42, Friday, 13 May 2011
A man caught with £90,000-worth of cocaine in his car in west Cumbria has been sent to prison for two years.
Paul Latham, a 43-year-old father-of-three from Ennerdale Avenue, Workington, had agreed to act as a courier to pay off a debt he owed to his own drug supplier.
He was stopped by police as he drove on the A595 near Workington on March 11 with the class A drug hidden in his toolbox.
The court heard he had built up a debt of £2,500 after turning to drugs when his long-term partner unexpectedly left him in April last year. He managed to pay off all but £200 and agreed to do the drugs run to cover that final instalment.
"He expected to be getting just a few ounces, but when he picked it up he realised immediately it was substantially more," prosecutor Alan Lovett told Carlisle Crown Court.
Latham pleaded guilty to possessing the cocaine with intent to supply it.
Passing sentence, Judge Paul Batty QC said there were unusual circumstances to the case which allowed him to impose a lighter sentence.
But he rejected defence counsel Elizabeth Muir's plea that Latham need not be sent to prison.
Judge Batty said: "You are an intelligent man and you well understood what you were doing. The amount of drugs involved means it is quite inevitable that a custodial sentence must be imposed."

Courtesy Dixie State Sports Information
ST. GEORGE, UTAH - Rachel Harmon's life has been anything but ordinary.
As a young girl, her father, a devout military man, would drop Harmon and her siblings off at the golf course at 5:45 in the morning and tell them to get to work. He returned around six in the evening expecting results.
For 12 hours or so, the Harmon kids played golf – and they did this all summer long.
Flash forward to August 20, 2012. Harmon is pulsing with excitement. As the designated coach of Dixie State College's newly found woman's golf program, set to commence Monday at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona, the golf pro has a lot on her mind.
For starters, she currently treads a path that, up until now, remained curiously dormant at DSC, a fact Harmon is keenly aware of. "We are the pioneers," she said. "That's a big thing for me as a coach. To start a program from scratch is huge and groundbreaking. These girls are going to be part of the first women's golf team at DSC. They will establish the records and goals that future girls will have to beat. I was like, 'Sign me up'."
Harmon recognizes the challenges lying in her wake, but feels confident she can overcome them. "I think it's been about learning what my expectations with the girls are. It's hard with a brand new team but nobody knows what to expect. There are no seniors. They're all brand new.
"We have all these goals with the girls that I've had to adjust to – how many wins they want and such. It's been really eye opening to see what the girls want. A lot of them have exceeded my expectations."
However, the task is not without its frustrations.
As a former golf pro, Harmon still carries an inkling to play the game she so loves. "It can get frustrating," she said. "I read that (my players) really love that I can kick their butt. I'm not a 40-year old veteran who hasn't played for a long time. I'm still active in my own game. I like that, but it leads to frustration. I'm watching from the cart when I want to be out there doing it."
Harmon did do it, for quite some time.
Her family, consisting of six children, grew up in Salt Lake City, where Brent Newren, Rachel's father, was stationed.
As a major in the army, Newren understood the value of hard work. Knowing full well the extent of his children's athleticism, Newren decided to push sports in the hopes that the lessons they learned on the field would carry over into their personal lives.
"There was a lot of structure to their activities," Newren said, "whether it was church activities or competitive programs or school. A routine was established that kept them busy throughout the year and summer."
Added Harmon: "He had this whole chart that chalked out every minute of the day for us. Literally. Every minute the day. Nine to noon, hit this many balls. And so on. He would give us some time to have fun – two half hours throughout the day. That's how he operated."
As she got older, Harmon realized her life was far from normal. At around age 12, she grew tired of the routine. "I remember saying to my dad, 'This isn't fun. I want to go to Lagoon and Raging Waters.' My dad said, 'Well this (golf) is fun.' I said, 'To you!'
"I always wondered what it was like to be a normal kid with video games and parties. We did things like that during the school year, but not much."
Eventually, Harmon understood the importance of her father's program. "I realized that in the long run it was going to pay for itself. School and all of these tournaments were paid for. I remember thinking, this is a good life. My friends envied me. I suddenly didn't want to be normal. I wanted to stick with the schedule because I knew it would lead to greatness."
Which is exactly what happened.
At Cottonwood High School, Harmon not only captained the Boy's Golf Team, but served as Senior Class Vice President and DECA President for the school. She won five Junior State Amateur titles, represented the State of Utah at the Junior America's Cup, appeared at Junior World in Southern California, qualified for the US Girls Junior Am along with two Junior PGA Championships, and made three IIAJC appearances.
In college, at BYU, Harmon was named Mountain West Conference player of the Year in 2007 and named to the All-Decade team for the Mountain West Confernce. She won three individual titles, made two NCAA National Championship appearances with her team and qualified for one more individually.
"One thing Rachel was extremely good about was her commitment to reach that level of confidence and proficiency," Newren said. "When she started to see the results of her hard work she became even more committed to it. I think that goes with anything you do."
Newren's philosophy maintains that hard work and dedication lead to something more profound than mere enjoyment. "Once you reach that level of expertise, whether you're a great athlete, writer or whatever, you enjoy things even more. It creates a certain level of enjoyment that certain people can't understand. You enjoy it so much more when you're very, very capable of it."
Perhaps that's why, after successfully playing as an amateur, and winning two Utah State Women's Amateur titles, Harmon continued to excel in golf as a professional. She had transformed from a young girl who enjoyed drawing golf courses and hanging them on her wall, into a powerful athlete capable of finishing in the LPGA Futures tour's top-20.
Perhaps that's why, with so many notches on her belt, Harmon accepted the coaching stint at Dixie and continues to play the game today.
"I love golf because you're always striving for more," Harmon said. "Individual sports are always about that. I got frustrated with basketball because I would put the blame on others. If they didn't make the shot there was nothing I could do. In golf it's all on me – how I swing, how I putt, how I'm feeling. Nobody has input on my game. It's about me and how much I can prepare and do better and strive for more.
"I think golf is a life lesson in that you're always able to improve your own game. That's crossed over to my personal life. I like to be responsible for my own destiny."
Harmon's destiny at Dixie certainly rests in her hands. And whether or not the team rises or falls, she will continue to promote the game she so loves.
"I have a 21-month old named Lily," Harmon said. "I'll probably do the same routine (as my dad's). I'll give her the option and entertain it, but I think it will be natural for her to take on the game. I hope I'm tough enough like my dad to show her true potential. She was born into greatness and might as well take advantage of it."

LONDON - FIFA is considering disciplinary action over blistering comments by Canada's coach and players about the referee after their semifinals loss to the United States in the Olympic women's football tournament.
FIFA says its disciplinary panel is "analyzing incidents that occurred after" Canada's 4-3 defeat after extra time on Monday.
Canada forward Christine Sinclair, who scored all three goals, later said "the ref decided the result before the game started."
Canadian was upset by an indirect free kick awarded against goalkeeper Erin McLeod for holding the ball too long late in normal time.
The resulting passage of play saw the Americans get a penalty which Abby Wambach scored to equalize at 3-3.
Wambach says she counted out loud when McLeod held the ball.

2006 Pontet-Canet Bordeaux Blend

points awarded:
ST 94 WA 95 WS 9395 points,
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2009
The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure nose of graphite, charcoal, sweet creme de cassis, and a hint of scorched earth. Incredible concentration, stunning richness, and a 60-second finish result in a wine that transcends the vintage as well as this estate's 1855 classification. This enormously endowed, modern day classic is a legend in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2050+.
94 points,
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2009
Saturated medium ruby. Inky cassis, black raspberry, graphite and pungent minerality on the very ripe nose. Dense, rich and silky, with a brooding inky minerality and an almost liqueur-like dark fruit sweetness leavened by a savory peppery element. This very ripe, deep and concentrated wine boasts wonderful lushness without any undue weight thanks to its sheer energy. Like its neighbor Mouton-Rothschild, Pontet-Canet's 2006 conveys a powerful impression of soil character. Finishes with serious dusty tannins and superb lingering sweetness. Should be long-lived. 94 points
93 points,
Wine Spectator, March 2009
Blackberry, currant and plum tart aromas lead to a full body, with a solid core of fruit, sweet fruit and silky tannins. Generous and round, with lovely richness for the vintage. Best after 2014. 23,330 cases made.

Okay. First opinion. Do NOT just watch first episodes and judge. At least watch the first lets say....10 episodes before you start liking it. The first few episodes are introduction episodes -which means Hiro Mashima is trying to tell you what "Fiore" is like and who the people are.
As soon as I started watching the first episode, I knew Fairy Tail was going to be one of my favorites. I'm new to the Fairy Tail story, but it seems to be the typical: heroes' power up during battle, and focuses on camaraderie of the group. The combat is all about flashy fight scenes using large magical spells and/or physical attacks, these cause a lot of collateral damage. And finally top off the show with sarcastic and slapstick comedy. All of these seem pretty standard, but the combination in Fairy Tail is well done. If you're looking for 24 minutes of spirit lifting combat and strait forward comedy then Fairy Tail is for you.
Generally weak main character joins a Guild of mages, all of which seem to be insane in some way. This guild (Fairy Tail) is known for their power and destructive tendencies. The main characters choose missions from a bounty board that give monetary rewards. However, initial monetary gain is often overlooked and the group is all about doing the right thing. Like most of this type of anime, combat is normally one on one with the good characters winning after powering up through some past memory or emotional boost. Overall the general story is moving toward battles between good and evil Mage Guilds
Personally I really don't care about the quality of art. The style is similar to One Piece and Rave Master, they even brought Plue over. Initially the quality was not great, but it didn't hurt my overall enjoyment of the story. Also the quality improves as the series progresses.
Initial introductions of secondary characters were done poorly, all you get is a name and what type of general Shounen character they fall under. Some of their combat abilities are hinted at; however, much is left to the imagination. Due to this series being meant for long term, character development has been slow at best. Once you get into the characters they are well done and some of the relations between different characters are enjoyable.
This is a very important factor to me. Most of the comedy in Fairy Tail is strait forward and the characters will let you know when a joke was made. However, there is also a lot of subtle comedy that often goes overlooked. Anything that makes me laugh is a 'thumbs up' in my book. Pretty much anything that Happy does makes me laugh.
The sound is well done; I like the music including the OP and ED songs. Also the music complements the characters during battle scenes with uplifting beats.
First Impressions:
I love this anime; I never read the manga and probably will never do so. Fairy tail is a mix between Slayers, Rave Master and some One Piece. Being a Slayers fan I couldn't believe the similarities when watching the first episode. I was hooked from the start and will watch Fairy Tail as soon as each episode is released.
Fairy Tail is enjoyable and is definitely one of the better recent releases. Personally I give Fairy Tail a 10, but I know not all people have the same tastes. For the standard person I give Fairy Tail a solid 8. I'm looking forward to seeing were Fairy Tail heads and I hope it will continue.

Term: high priest
Hierophant: One of the trumps of the Major Arcana of the tarot. Numbered V. In the system of Eliphas Levi, it corresponds to the Hebrew letter Heh. In the system of the Golden Dawn, The Hierophant corresponds to the Hebrew letter Vav and the astrological sign of Taurus. Hierophant: An officer of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. When the temple is set up for Neophytes, the Hierophant (Greek for "initiating priest") sits in the East, represents the dawning Light, and is the main ritual officer. When a woman holds this office she is called the Hierophatria or Hieropantissa. High Priest: A male Witch who, often with a High Priestess, is the leader of a coven. In traditional covens, to achieve this level requires extensive training and experience. In covens that have a three-degree system, a High Priest will have been initiated into the third degree. It is often abbreviated as HP. Hierophant: The 5th Major Arcanum of the Tarot Image: Pope or other major religious leader Hebrew letter: Vav Divinatory meaning: Authority, Wisdom, Spirituality Path on the Tree of Life: 16th path connecting Yesod to Tiphareth. Qabalistic Description. The 5th Key, the 16th Path. Magus of the Eternal Gods. This Path connects Chesed (Mercy) with Chokmah (Wisdom). The primary function of the Hierophant is to tie together the Great Above to that which is Below. The Hierophant is also the Great Teacher of the Mysteries, bringing understanding as the link between sensory experience and inner illumination. Vav means the nail, binding things together. Card Description. The Hierophant as High Priest is the counterpart of the High Priestess. As Aries is the house of Mars and the exaltation of the Sun, so Taurus is the house of Venus and the exaltation of the Moon. He is the reflective or mystical aspect of the masculine. He is the thinker as the Emperor is the doer. His colors unlike those of the Emperor vary considerably. Red, orange, maroon, deep brown, and chestnut brown, suggest veiled thought, interior power, endurance, contemplation and reconciliation. This card frequently indicates the hidden guardianship of the Masters. Interpretation. Divine wisdom, occult wisdom, manifestation, explanation, teaching. The Hierophant differs from, though resembling in some respects, the meaning of The Magician, The Prophet, and The Lovers. Psychological Value. You may use this Arcanum when you are eager to act, but have not yet figured out what your true heart's desire is, or when you are wasting your efforts on things you don't need, instead of focusing on your truest desires. It helps you develop generosity, sincerity, justice, tact, courtesy and refinement, as well as your sense of order and organization. It can help you to understand how to best present yourself socially.

Cairo, June 12: Amnesty International has asked Egyptian authorities to probe alleged sexual assaults on women protesters during a rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday.
The London-based rights group claimed that the women, who were singled out by the mobs for sexual harassment and assaults at the epicenter of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak last year, were attempted to intimidate women and prevent them from participating in public life.
In the face of a rise in violent attacks on women, female Egyptian activists, who had organized a rally at Tahrir Square on Friday demanding an end to the women harassment, were attacked by a group of men, who groped them and tore their clothes off, despite attempts to fend them off by male protesters.
According to CBS News, Amnesty claimed that the authorities never investigated the attacks.
Around 50 women participated in the rally, surrounded by a larger group of male supporters, and carried posters saying, "The people want to cut the hand of the sexual harasser". (ANI)

Project: HD Studio Upgrade for Astro in Malaysia
After competing in a fully competitive tendering process, Gearhouse Broadcast's Systems Integration division was awarded the contract to upgrade Astro's studio facilities in Kuala Lumpur to accommodate HD productions. The studios are used by both Astro and Arena to produce a wide range of shows including singing and dancing competitions, live music performances, game shows, talk shows and sport highlights.
The project will include upgrading 4 Studios Floors, 3 Production Control Rooms and a Central Equipment Area. The project will be carried out in two phases. Phase one will be the technical upgrade and refurbishment of studios 1 & 2, incorporating their associated Production Control Room and Audio Control Room areas. Phase two will involve the technical upgrade and refurbishment to studios 3, 4, 5/6, 7 and their associated Control Rooms.
In terms of the equipment chosen for the project, Gearhouse Broadcast selected Snell Routers and Glue products, Harris Quads and Yamaha PM5D 64 Channel Analogue Consoles. The Snell range of routers are renowned the world over for quality and reliability. Coupled with extremely flexible control operations, they cater for all sizes and operations from simple edit suites to outside broadcast trucks. Snell were also able to provide Astro and Gearhouse Broadcast with 24/7 customer support within the Asia region ensuring rapid diagnosis and resolution of any issues that might have arisen.
