I'm not sure how widespread a behavior this is, but in certain circles of foragers and wild foodees here in Vermont are folks, like myself, who brew tea this time of year using the drupes from staghorn sumac bushes. Staghorn sumac is not to be mistaken for poison sumac (which would make a terrible tea for obvious reasons), and in fact is not very closely related either. The tea was traditionally made by Native Americans for centuries, is an amber color and has a unique tart taste that earned it the common name "Indian lemonade".
I decided I wanted to try making a beer using the sumac that grows in abundance around here. Originally, I was going to make a sumac extract using vodka. Then I got to digging around for any advice from others who might have decided to try using sumac before and stumbled across Brandon O's thread about brewing graff from apple cider (http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f81/graf...-cider-117117/). I decided to take a page from his book and try an experimental brew, so I am now using the term "beer" very loosely.
I followed the general technique Brandon outlined for making graff, but replaced the cider with sumac tea. After some research, I found that the sugar content (on average) for 4 gallons of cider is around 1520 grams (just shy of 6.8 cups of sugar). Sumac is relatively low in sugar, so I sweetened my tea using simple syrup, but not to the full sweetness of cider. Instead, I used enough syrup to add 4 cups worth of sugar to the tea which gave it a sweet and tart flavor that was really nice. From there, I adapted the recipe a little bit (some by choice, and some due to readily available ingredients) and hoped for the best. It went in my primary today,will be bottled in two weeks, and I plan to test one out about 3 weeks after bottling. If all goes well and it isn't a total disaster, I plan of bringing this batch to my brother's wedding on September 13th. I'll follow up and let you all know how it comes out...
Here is my recipe (help me come up with a name for this stuff!):EXPERIMENTAL SUMAC BREWNottingham dry ale yeast
.5 lbs Floor Malted Bohemian Dark Grains
2 oz torrified wheat
4 Gallons sumac tea
About 8 Cups simple syrup (4 cups of sugar content prepared in a 1/1 ratio with water)
1 Gallon water
2.4 lb Amber LME
0.5 oz Czech Saaz Hops (3.2% Alpha)
Steep a 4 gallon batch of strong sumac tea (Remove sumac drupes and add a second round to double steep if necessary). Once the sumacs is removed with a slotted spoon, there should be about 3.25-3.5 gallons of tea remaining.
Add simple syrup, then strain the tea to remove sediment. I found that lining a mesh strainer with a paper towel works well for this, changing for a fresh paper towel whenever the flow slows down. A coffee filter seems to be too fine of a filter and clogs very quickly, making it a slow and painful process, and the paper towel removes all of the major sediment that I wanted to eliminate.
Add filtered tea to kettle and heat to at least 160 degrees for 10 minutes to kill off any bacteria and wild yeast that may be present. Cool using a wort chiller if available. Transfer to primary.
Steep milled grains and torrified wheat in .75 gallons of water @ 155 degrees for 30 mins. Sparge with .25 gallons 170 degree water and throw away grains.
Add LME and bring to a boil. Once boiling starts, add hops and boil for 30 mins. Cool with wort chiller if available. Transfer to primary.
If the tea and wort were not cooled with a wort chiller, wait until they cool down to something close to room temperature before proceeding.
Activate and pitch yeast. Ferment for 2 weeks at 64-68 degrees then keg or bottle. Age for 2-3 weeks.
I've got some nice fermentation going on today and I really like how the color is turning out since the sediment settled.
What is your berry to water ratio for making the tea? I was thinking of doing a sumac-tea saison, but haven't made the tea since I was a kid.
"Water?!? Are you trying to kill me? There's no ALCOHOL in that stuff!" -Leon
Hard to say, it all depends on how ripe the sumac is when you make the tea. You can make tea even before it's fully ripe (DARK burgundy color), but may have to steep it more than once, as I did with this batch. The sumac I used was probably a week or two from full ripeness and I used about 1 1/2 Walmart shopping bags (scientific measurement) full of sumac drupes, divided over two rounds of steeping in room temperature water for about 10 hours each. I wore latex gloves and stripped the fruit and smaller stems from the thick central stalk, trying to smoosh (another technical term) them as I added them to a little over 4 gallons of water in my steeping bucket.
Does anybody have any input on this?
Awesome. Thanks.
I will be bottling tomorrow. I am really digging the color I am getting. I'll post photos and commentary at some point.
I live in Arizona, we have Rhus lancea here. I just happened to stumble on information about natives making Sumac beer. I have a huge African Sumac in my backyard. I was thinking next time it bears fruit to make a beer from the yellowish-green berries. Should work the same with my variety of Sumac right?

Planting trees on an incline
I want to plant a shade tree on the west side of my backyard but that is where the ground has about a 20-30 degree slope away from a stone fence property line.
My first thought was to build a 3 sided planter box of some kind, (the 4th side would be my stone fence), and fill it with dirt to have a level spot for the tree. The planter box would be about 10' square with a height of maybe 2' on the front side.
Is this a bad idea or should I just plant the tree in the inclined ground as it is? I've seen landscape pics of yards here in Vegas where they have a tree in a 2' high brick planter and the rest of the yard is all concrete, basically an island of dirt in the middle of the yard.
Also, how far from the stone fence can I plant a tree? I'm thinking around 5 feet.
I would suggest Trees Forum - GardenWeb. This a fairly well followed forum and regular participants seem to be knowledgeable. Note that, should you need one, finding a tree service in some areas of Nevada seems to a bit difficult. I'm guessing there probably just aren't enough trees to support competitive tree services.

I'm using gentoo, which seems to keep some pyopengl
needed stuff in /usr/X11R6/include and /usr/X11R6/lib
i was hoping these two paths could get added to the
"include_dirs" and "library_dirs" of the linux.cfg
file. with that in place, pyopengl should install "out
of the box" for me. it shouldn't hurt anything to if
these paths don't exist.
Rene Dudfield
Logged In: YES
On my system /usr/X11 is a symlink to /usr/X11R6
As R6 is a version number(one which hasn't changed in years).
As you say it can't hurt to add it in. I'll add it unless
there are any objections?
I think gentoo should add the symlink in though.

Reviewer Tricia Childress of Creative Loafing is rooting for the success of Las Palmas Restaurant. "Why do I want Las Palmas to stick? I could say culinary diversity is essential and we all benefit from this quirky, melting pot, Colombian-Cuban, simple and straightforward concept," she muses. "My palate, though, would say their Cuban sandwich rocks." After purchasing this primarily Colombian eatery, Cuba native George Escobar decided to draw diners in with familiar Colombian steaks and sauces while shaking things up with rich Cuban dishes of pork and plantains. The bilingual staff doles out ceviche and pork frittatas amid faux shutters and decorative cigars in the 45-seat eatery as two overhead TVs showcase soccer matches or broadcast cryptic clues about where to find the legendary gold-stuffed empanada.

I normally run a Volvo FH-16, but with a joystick, it's unpredictable. I spend more time messing with the sensitivity, deadzone and nonlinear settings then driving. I tried this Kenworth T-800, I didn't have to do a thing with the settings. It seems since they started this 1.9 patch, my settings get changed day to day or even after I take a rest. Please advise me, I can't afford that steering wheel setup.Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Cutting edge hardware technology. Pride in working on the most powerful computers on Earth. The ability to make a difference in a small to medium size company. Bonuses for the last few years. Very American company.
Software engineering leadership is poor. Much of the software work is just integration. Projects are seriously (and continually) under resourced. Retirement benefits are way below industry standard.
We waste too much time on filling out time tracking, time cards, and status reports. It is inexcusable that there isn't an integrated solution for this instead of 3 separate interfaces.

Being reorg'd from a great job to the mental equivalent of assembly line work did not make me happy.
This also resulted in all my management chain and colleagues being in another state, making it quite clear what my chances for advancement were. Having an education reimbursement plan listed as a perk is useless if no one ever gets to benefit from it.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Management needs to stop pissing off the engineers. Management needs to stop making stupid decisions about hardware in order to increase the depth and breadth of sales. If you're going to encourage people to try to go to the next level, give them a clear path forward to do that. Don't just say "We'd really like to promote you", but don't tell them what the metrics are and don't give them any kind of mentoring support to make that happen. I might still be there if there hadn't been a dismissive attitude about what I felt my weakness were, what could be done to correct them, and what my future was with the company. I'm not the kind of person who likes to be doing the same mind-numbing job 20 years later.No opinion of CEO

Great Public Relations Quotes for the Middle East
10 great public relations & propaganda quotes compiled by Ronn Torossian, owner of a leading PR Agency:
"He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense." Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim, 1900
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." George W. Bush
"The bigger the lie, the more believable it becomes to the average Arab citizen. Thus, Arab media never fail to be less than outrageous. They blamed the defeat on none other than Israel, as though self-defense and self-preservation was not a right to be exercised by the Jewish enemy." Nonie Darwish
"If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly." Thomas Sowell
"It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale."Jacques Ellul
"In the West "yes" is "yes" and "no" is "no." But when Arabs hear the word "no" from an American they often take it as an insult. That is because Arabs don't say the word "no" directly. Very often they say "in Shaalah" when they mean "no." In dealing with Westerners, an Arab may say "yes' when they really don't mean it, and that gets them in a lot of trouble with Westerners." Nonie Darwish
"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." George Orwell
"In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One. "Yakov Smirnoff
"Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves." Eric Hoffer
"Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible, it must be true. " Hubert Humphrey
Ronn Torossian is the CEO of 5WPR, a leading PR firm and Author of "For Immediate Release", a leading PR book.

The first of what I hope to be a long list of wildlife films made by myself. I attended the Wildlife Film Academy in Botswana for 4 weeks to learn about the wildlife film-making industry where the goal was to create a short 5 minute film on a topic that we choose.
The film is titled 'Why We Fight' and is about why conservationists, scientisits, naturalists and I have decided to work with wildlife and the emotiones and challenges we have to deal with. It is about giving us an identity and to also bring out the essence of nature, giving an insight into our professions. The most important thing is that I want this short film to be enjoyed and to take people on a journey. I do hope you enjoy.
This whole film was shot, edited and created by myself and i am very proud of the end product.

2002 Kia Sportage Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 5 reviews
This is the last year for the Kia Sportage, to make room for the upcoming mid-size Sorento SUV. The Sportage will return in 2005 with an all-new design, but the 2002 Sportage has gone through few structural changes since its 1995 debut. The compact SUV with two rows of seats for four passengers drops the EX and EX Limited trims this year, coming in only one base trim in either a four-door wagon or two-door convertible. The convertible features a hard top over the front passengers and a removable soft top in the back seat. Both are available in part-time 4WD or rear-wheel drive and feature a 2.0-liter, 130-hp I4 engine. A 5-speed manual is standard on all but the 2WD convertible, which comes with a 4-speed automatic (optional on the 4-door models).
The 4WD features low-range gearing and can be taken off-road, with a truck-like suspension that helps smooth out the ride when off the pavement. The 2002 Sportage gets new standard features to go with the full power accessories and dual front and driver's knee airbag (a Kia innovation). Air conditioning and alloy wheels are now standard on four-door models (optional on the convertible), as are privacy glass, an improved audio system, and an exterior trunk release, which was previously accessed only by a key. The leather option is 86ed. A new Two-Tone package adds two-tone paint for the body cladding, roof rack, bumpers, and spare tire cover. 4-wheel ABS is also optional, as is a CD player, cruise control, and keyless entry -- all previously found on the EX.
Rear seats are cramped in both two and four-door models, but they are elevated to give riders better visibility. Front leg and headroom is generous in the four-door, and drivers like the high ride height. Handling and suspension is a highlight, and owners like the road grip of the 4WD. The biggest attraction to the 2002 Sportage is the low price for a sporty personal SUV. Drawbacks include low gas mileage, cupholders that block the climate control buttons, a need for more horsepower, and labored uphill performance. There have also been a lot of repair issues with this first generation of Sportages and problems with dealers not honoring the warranty.

Jurors hear audio of Warren Jeffs training girls for sex
'If world knew what I was doing, they would hang me ...,' FLDS leader wrote
Tony Gutierrez, Associated Press
SAN ANGELO, Texas — Softly telling five girls to "set aside all your inhibitions," convicted polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was heard Monday giving his child brides instructions on how to please him sexually during a graphic 10-minute tape played for a Texas jury.
Prosecutors later rested their case, and jurors could hand down their punishment to Jeffs as early as today. He faces life in prison after being the same jury convicted him last week of sexually assaulting two of his "brides," who were 12 and 15.
Jeffs' attorneys rested without calling any witnesses. They did so as Jeffs sat in another room of the courthouse, boycotting the proceedings for a third straight day.
He was not in the courtroom Monday when an FBI agent introduced a 2004 audiotape that he said preceded Jeffs having sex at the same time with five girls, who were 15 and younger. Several jurors squirmed or wiped away tears during the sometimes-scratchy recording. Jeffs breaths heavily on the tape while giving the girls explicit instructions.
During the sentencing phase, prosecutors showed a page from one of Jeffs' journals.
"If the world knew what I was doing, they would hang me from the highest tree," Jeffs wrote in 2005, according to one of thousands of pages of notes seized along with the audio recordings from his Texas ranch.
The 55-year-old is the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist LDS Church. More than 10,000 followers consider him God's spokesman on Earth.
Prosecutors on Monday showed the jury evidence that Jeffs had taken 24 underage followers as his bride. Jurors also saw photos of Jeffs intimately kissing several of the young girls in wedding photos.
In all, prosecutors showed records from 1989 to 2006 of Jeffs having 78 wives. Not counting his own wives, Jeffs officiated or was a witness to 550 illegal marriages, according to prosecutors.
A photo collage featuring one of his 16-year-old brides had the caption: "Pure Innocence. Pure Obedience. Pure Heavenly Happiness!"
Jeffs made a brief courtroom appearance Monday after being summoned by state District Judge Barbara Walther. She told Jeffs' attorney, Deric Walpole, that she wanted to make sure Jeffs hadn't changed his mind.
Wearing a charcoal suit and carrying a blank yellow legal pad, Jeffs walked back into court but never spoke. Walpole said Jeffs wanted to stay outside, and Jeffs was escorted back to another room in the courthouse.
Soon after, prosecutors played the tapes. Jeffs is heard telling the girls that what "the five of you are about to do is important." The recording ends with him asking the girls if his instructions are detailed enough. The voices of at least two girls responded, "Yes."
Jeffs kept meticulous records — as jurors found out during the conviction phase of the trial. Last week, they heard a tape of what prosecutors said was Jeffs sexually assaulting the 12-year-old victim.
Prosecutors suggested that the polygamist leader told the girls they needed to have sex with him — in what Jeffs called "heavenly" or "celestial" sessions — to atone for sins in his community. Several times in his journals, Jeffs wrote of God telling him to take more and more young girls as brides "who can be worked with and easily taught."
FBI agent John Broadway testified that fathers who gave their young daughters to Jeffs — their prophet — were rewarded with young brides of their own. Girls who proved reluctant to have sex with Jeffs were sent away, according to excerpts from Jeffs' journals that prosecutors showed to the jury.
"If they wanted to not be rejected by God, then the new laws (Jeffs) was introducing was requiring them to participate in these sessions," Broadway said.
The recordings and journals were seized during a 2008 raid on an FLDS ranch in rural West Texas. That raid led to the charges against Jeffs and several of his followers.
Jurors also saw photos of Jeffs that were a contrast to the modest, conservative attire favored by the church he heads. The photos showed him wearing novelty T-shirts and a baseball cap with a Guinness beer logo.
The polygamist leader spent years evading arrest — crisscrossing the country as a fugitive who eventually made the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list before his capture in 2006, prosecutors said. A state investigator testified that Jeffs visited 23 states over nearly a year while eluding authorities.
Jeffs also allegedly excommunicated 60 church members he saw as a threat to his leadership, breaking up 300 families while stripping them of property and "reassigning" wives and children.
Walpole, Jeffs' attorney, has declined to say whether he'll call witnesses during the sentencing phase. He has indicated that his plea for leniency will focus on Jeffs being a product of his environment and a culture that hasn't changed for centuries.

Opinion on proposed foundation plantings?
I just got a design drawn up by a local nursery (not sure how to post it) and am stumped about something. She has the foundation plants along the house to be a daphne by the front door, then a boxwood, then a dragon lady holly (for height as it is b/w two tall windows that go pretty low to the ground), then another boxwood. I get that she is trying to do deer resistant evergreens. But the holly just doesn't seem to go and they do get pretty big.
I like the idea of the red berries on the dragon lady holly, though. Would a good substitution be the cranberry bush viburnum? But this is deciduous and maybe would look too bare in the winter? I found something called Winterberry Holly that also has beautiful red berries in the winter but stems are completely barren of leaves then.
I'm quite confused as to what to do. Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

On top of the record oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico is now bracing for what could be a near record hurricane season.
"This is going to make a disaster movie look like a rehearsal," says UC Berkeley School of Civil and Environmental Engineering professor Robert Bea.
Special Section: Disaster in the Gulf
While hurricanes regularly do terrible damage, this year they will wreck containment booms, force clean-up crews off the water, and delay drilling of the relief wells that are now the only hope to stop the leak. There are even been fears hurricane-driven rains could be black with oil, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.
"The oil does not get into rainfall. It would not rain oil," says UCLA assistant professor of atmospheric sciences Kristen Corbosiero.
But a hurricane storm surge could push oil many miles inland.
"We saw with [hurricane Katrina] that storm surge went 20 miles inland, so if we bring the oil inland it's going to pollute water supplies, destroy wetlands. It really may be an oily mess for people cleaning up," says Corbosiero.
There is also a possibility hurricanes could actually do some good by diluting the oil.
"It's like a giant mixmaster, it may help alleviate the situation to some degree," says Accuweather meteorologist Joe Bastardi.
There has been one other similar spill in the Gulf. In 1979 about 140 million gallons of oil poured into the water off the coast of Mexico after a drilling rig blowout. A hurricane disrupted efforts to cap that well but the storm also dispersed the oil, diminishing its impact. Forecasters say predicting a hurricane's impact is a guessing game.
"We have to deal with the idea that in a hurricane there are a lot of events that almost turn random because of the power of these storms," says Bastardi.
And even when the oil stops leaking, the millions of gallons already in the water will continue doing harm long into the future. Figuring out just how bad the worst case really is will take years.

(2.0L 4-cyl. 5-speed Manual)
2003 Mazda Protege Sedan DX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
The transmission went out early on, which started a chain reaction of other problems months to follow.
This car was nothing more than a money pit and certainly not one worth investing in.
I've replaced just about everything in the car besides the engine, which I hear is something Mazda actually does fairly well.
I ended up finally trading the car in at around 153k miles.
It seems like a lot, but not considering maintenance costs.
In addition to the reliability issues, the interior was cheap and started to literally fall apart.
Poor mpg as well.
The only positive thing I can say about the car is that it was kind of fun to drive and had nice acceleration.
It felt like a go-kart.

I love my Mazda.
I bought it used in 2004 with 25,000 miles on it.
It now has 88,000 miles.
I have only replaced brake pads, tires and one hose in addition to oil changes.
My engine runs flawlessly.
I get better than rated mileage.
She handles great for a sub-compact.
Has road feel instead of the numb feedback of a Toyota.
The stick is smooth with shifts.
Seats are comfortable.
I will keep it until it dies since it has no resell value.
I hope to get at least another two years.

I have a paper route; that is 60 miles a night of continuous stop and go with a heavy load of newspapers. This car never complains. Still has excellent get up and go with almost 150000 miles of hard driving. Never been in the shop for anything aside from a belt replacement and an AC recharge. Most reliable and solid little car I've ever owned. No rattles, clunks, or squeaks to drive one crazy. I love this car.

A few days ago, my Protege was completely totaled by another driver in a very minor accident. So, its durability is questionable. Within the first year of owning it, I had a reoccurring problem with moisture on the inside of the car. Whenever it would rain, wells in the trunk would fill with water with no drainage route. Windshield took forever to defrost/fog. In the winter ice would form on the inside of the windshield -not a fabulous prerequisite to my morning commute. The weather stripping began to peel from the passenger door, and the door handle became loose one winter. Also, the car would rattle whenever stopped in traffic.

My wife & I purchased this brand new off the lot in April of 2003 so we've had the car five years now. It started off as her car, and then became my car after she bought a Honda Fit in August of 2006. Overall, the car has been a good car. The handling is outstanding & very responsive. It runs smoothly, and is comfortable to drive. The only issues we had with it was the alternator going out in it. The alternator went failed right after we bought it, and again about a year ago, but it was replaced at no cost both times. Other than that, it's needed nothing other than routine maintenance.

I have had my Protege for almost two years now and it was been a joy to drive to work. It handles well for an economy car and has a surprising amount of room for my wife, two kids and my black lab. The 5-speed is smooth and precise. Steering has nice feel.

The '03 Protege DX is beautifully designed inside and out. There is plenty of space inside for CD's and other things you need within arms reach. Both doors have ample side pockets for ice scrapers, etc. Driving it is pure joy. I have a manual, and there is plenty of get up and go on the highway as well in town. The ride is smooth and quiet. It is very spacious inside.There is plenty of trunk space. It has much more room than a Sentra and other cars that fall into this sedan category. And, it is less expensive than other sedans in this category. I have had it since new, and have not had one problem.The gas mileage is very good.

I bought this vehicle used (34K miles). Within one week of purchase, I made a 2000 mile trip with no problems. The only maintenance performed have been oil-filter changes and a front end alignment. The room inside the car is better than my previous vehicle, a 2000 Mercury Sable.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Missing in action
The supervisors' notes in the Phoenix Sinclair file might have answered a lot of questions about what went wrong. So... what happened to them?
The Phoenix Sinclair inquiry was rocked this week by the revelation that all the supervisory notes on the family's child-welfare file have vanished. Four supervisors have testified; none of their notes exists.
The first supervisor, Andy Orobko, admitted he took his notes home with him when he left Child and Family Services employment, a clear violation of practice. During his testimony, he downplayed their importance. He destroyed the notes in 2010, he said, four years after the province announced its inquiry and a year before it began.
If Orobko had kept the notes he lifted from the office, they would have been the only such records in existence.
Former supervisors Angie Balan, Lorna Hanson and Heather Edinborough testified supervisory notes form an important part of any family's child-welfare records. The women expressed surprise their notes, which documented supervisory meetings, case recommendations and personnel issues, have gone missing.
The notes may become the inquiry's version of the infamous 181/2 missing minutes of a taped conversation between U.S. President Richard Nixon and his chief of staff, used to determine the president's role in covering up the Watergate scandal.
The Department of Family Services has admitted the notes did exist, are missing and were perhaps destroyed. Privately, two lawyers present at the inquiry told me there will be fireworks as the notes issue continues to be explored in upcoming testimony. There should be, just as there must be proof these notes weren't deliberately removed to sideline or impair the work of the inquiry.
There was mighty opposition to this inquiry taking place, both from the union representing the social workers and from the lawyers representing child-welfare authorities. The latter demanded full transcripts of interviews done with witnesses, delaying the inquiry.
It has become increasingly clear why those charged with protecting social workers would have preferred much of the evidence not be heard. The inquiry has heard the sad story of Samantha Kematch, Steve Sinclair and their two daughters is far from unique. Poverty, family violence and substance abuse are the backdrop to many of their cases. It has also heard that there were significant gaps in the service provided to the family, that the terms of a service contract weren't met and that there was a rapid turnover of supervisors and social workers involved with the file.
Without the supervisors' notes and in the absence of reliable notes kept by at least one worker, a complete picture of what happened in the earliest years of the child's life remain elusive.
None of the supervisors remembers the social workers complaining their workloads were too high to handle the Sinclair file adequately. If they had, that would have been in the notes.
Social worker Dolores Chief-Abigosis testified under oath she was attending university full time at the same time she was working at CFS full time, something that would seem impossible.
Lorna Hanson, one of the social worker's two supervisors, was asked if she knew Chief-Abigosis committed to being in two places at the same time.
She did not, and that would have concerned her. But if they'd ever discussed it, the proof would have been in her notes and those are missing.
(Thursday, word came from Chief-Abigosis's lawyer that the claim of full-time university attendance may have been "inaccurate.")
Documentation is a skill that comes more easily to some than others, Hanson said, but she expected everyone to do a proper job. She considered herself a little obsessive on the subject.
"Document, document, document, that was my mantra," she said. "The fact that my notes are missing is an issue for me, because I depend on them. It's been 12 years."
She testified that when she began working as a supervisor, she put her notes into a binder that was kept in her office. Later, she put them in sealed envelopes that said "supervisor's notes" and attached them to the case file.
Angela Balan, who supervised the case while Hanson was on medical and then maternity leave, testified she had biweekly meetings with every worker to see how their cases were proceeding.
"The necessary contacts were not maintained," Balan said of Chief-Abigosis's work. She could not say how that happened, because her supervisory notes have not been located. She left them in binders in the office for Hanson upon her return from maternity leave.
Gone. All gone.
The Phoenix Sinclair inquiry is an opportunity to clearly state how the child welfare system failed one child, what changes have been made to improve it and how we can move forward to protect children who will, of necessity, be taken into care. What we've heard so far hasn't been encouraging.
Until someone provides an explanation of where those missing files ended up and whose hands were on them, this inquiry has a stink on it that can't be washed off.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

The Jamaican Iguana, contributed by Tracie Blake
Posted: 11/10/08, updated: 7/8/14
These are harmless, beautiful creatures which were very common in Jamaica until the mongoose were brought here to eradicate snakes and rats on the sugar estates.
The mongoose however, ended up hunting and feasting on the Iguana as well. They then retreated further inland and were not discovered again until 1990..
The Jamaican iguana's, Cyclura collei, is derived from the Greek words cyclos meaning "circular" and urus meaning "tail", after the thick ringed tail characteristic of all Cyclura iguanas. Its specific name Collei is Latin for the word "hill" and refers to the regions in which it was once found in Jamaica.
They can grow to a length of up to 16 centimeters. They are green/brown in colour with a long tail and can camouflage themselves to match their surroundings. This is essential in protecting them from their predators.
They have a comb-like horn starting at the top of their head and running all the way down to their tails.
The outer skin is scaly and tightly muscular and has hints of yellow/dark-green in different locations all over it. It has a yellow/orange sensor under its neck which retracts inward and is used to test the temperature and to feel out its environment.
It also has a long split tongue which it uses much like a snake does to taste and feel for food. They are herbivores so they feed on leaves, flowers and fruits and occasionally small insects such as grasshoppers, flies and snails.
They live in nests of up 20 Iguanas per nest. At nesting time, the female digs a hole in the ground (in an area where the sun can directly warm the ground) and fills it with dried leaves.
She then lays her eggs in the hole and covers it up and leaves it. Eggs are laid in amounts of up to 20 eggs per laying. It takes on average 2 ½ months for the eggs to hatch and during this time, the female iguana vigilantly guards the eggs. She will snarl at and chase away any threat she sees to her eggs including the advances of the male iguanas.
The eggs then hatch all at once and the young iguanas dig their way out of the ground. They are then left to fend for themselves leaving them open to becoming prey to a lot of predators.
It is survival of the fittest for them. They spend a lot of their time on rocks in direct contact with the sun from the time they are hatched straight to adulthood.
It was once found across Jamaica, but now The Hellshire hills area in St. Catherine is the only area of Jamaica that the iguana can be found.
The Jamaican Iguanas are an endangered species and are being protected by the efforts of the Natural Resources Conservation Authority under the Wild Life Protection Act.
Based on research, it is believed that there are less than 200 left on the island. Hopefully all Jamaicans will endeavour to keep them safe.

I enjoy reading, drawing, music, cooking, sci-fi movies, animation, the science channel (especially astronomy stuff). I'm way too organized, always making folders and lists and alphabetizing things. That's the reason I love my iPod. I tend to find what I like and stick to it, so I need to be around people who force me to try new things. I spend too much time playing videogames.
