Castro dons suit
Saturday 02 December 1995
Peking - The Cuban president, Fidel Castro, shed his military fatigues in favour of a dark suit to talk business with the Chinese Prime Minister, Li Peng. Mr Castro also greeted Mr Li with a simple handshake, eschewing the old-style socialist bear hug with which he greeted the Chinese Communist Party chief and President, Jiang Zemin, on Thursday.

Instead of heading out to play after school as a kid, Ron Stephan spent afternoons in his mother's kitchen, rolling chicken cordon bleu for the catering business she ran from their home. Today, Ron continues his family tradition of freshness at his own restaurant, Ricetta's, where every dish is made from scratch daily. "I guarantee you my freezer is smaller than your freezer at home," Ron says with a laugh, "unless you have a really small freezer."
The restaurant's accolades speak for themselves. Since it opened in 1989, Ricetta's has won the Maine Sunday Telegram's readers' poll for best pizza a whopping 20 years in a row, as well as earning a spot on USA Today's 51 great pizza parlors in 2010. At its current location, which it has occupied since 2000, two hand-built brick ovens fire up each pizza, giving the crust a crisp outside and a soft, pillowy center.
Though the food is crafted with care, the lifeblood of Ricetta's, according to Ron, is its employees, many of whom have been with him for over 10 years. They have helped create all of the menu's dishes, including the Bolto pizza, loaded with pesto, roasted chicken, and broccoli, and named after the manager who would make it for himself for lunch every day. Ricetta's first employee, Skip, lends his name to the popular linguini Scipollo, which he fashioned from chicken, sometimes shrimp, with prosciutto and tomatoes in lemon-cream sauce. To show his gratitude, Ron celebrates each staff member's anniversary by printing a mention in the newsletter and cooking them a pizza with monogrammed pepperoni slices.
Cavorters of all ages caper about Joker's Family Fun and Games's massive indoor play zone, which is stocked with games and attractions that inspire climbing and sliding. Kids can scramble into the three-tiered A-Maze-Zing playhouse to navigate tubes, web bridges, and conference rooms, and toddlers can maneuver through the mini maze or hop aboard the train ride for a sightseeing jaunt around the tracks. Future adults can challenge one another in sundry classic arcade games such as skee-ball and air hockey, and more than 50 video games await thumbs desperate to win garlands of exchangeable tickets. Whippersnappers achieve liftoff in lieu of jetpack overalls on a Jolly Jump air bounce then safely glide down a 22-foot inflatable super slide. At the 14,000-square-foot Portland location, youngsters can also blast comrades in a space-age laser-tag zone, scale a towering rock-climbing wall, and master putting skills on an 18-hole mini-golf course. After extreme bouts of frolicking, families can quell tummy rumbles with slices of housemade pizza slathered in Joker's signature sauce or peek at the menu to peruse sandwiches, burgers, and chicken tenders.
At more than a dozen locations throughout the northeast, ScrubaDub Auto Wash Centers' computerized wash tunnels and detailing pros spiff up cars with advanced technology and minimal environmental impact. The robotic wash systems and photoelectric sensors not only clean finishes with a gentle, soft-cloth technique, but they can target white walls, wheels, and chrome with site-specific formulas. The eco-savvy automated systems also consume less water than home washing and recycle the water used to clean the wheels and undercarriage. Biodegradable SuperGlo soap keeps the run-off free of harmful compounds before it is funneled down the proper treatment channels, where it can't pollute neighborhood storm drains or be used to test the resiliency of carnival goldfish.
The centers' innovative equipment and Earth-friendly practices have earned them the title of Best Car Wash from CityVoter for three years running. Some locations also boast separate interior cleaning bays to address filthy dashboards and seats.

After bringing their family across the pond from Milano to Maine, restaurateurs Fabiana de Savino and Enrico Barbiero wasted no time in opening Paciarino. There, pasta made daily by Barbiero "raises the bar for pasta," according to the New York Times. "His tender ravioli are stuffed with sweet local shrimp and haddock, and his spaghetti is hand-stretched and perfectly cooked," the reporter continued. The chef draws from a palette of imported Taggiasche olives, garlic from Sicily, and peppers, mozzarella, and salamis from around Italy. When possible, the produce is sourced from organic farms, and the selection of seafood, like a neighbor's level of anger at your Halloween display, depends on the season.
Paciarino's airy interior keeps the mood light and focused on the cuisine, which is complemented by red and white wine. "You can hear a surprising amount of Italian language among the diners," said a writer for The Boston Globe after a visit, " and everyone seems a little more cheerful than they did when they walked in."

REVIEW: American Glamour and the Evolution of Modern Architecture
American Glamour and the Evolution of Modern Architecture
by Alice T. Friedman
(Yale University Press, $65)
A brilliant study of post-war American architecture comes in frivolous disguise. The cover illustration is a Slim Aarons tableau of the idle rich: models impersonating trophy wives in playsuits, sipping champagne around a turquoise pool. Neutra's Kaufmann house is relegated to the far corner. But this image, along with the sleek jet that upstages Saarinen's TWA terminal on the back cover, illustrates Friedman's thesis: that modernism won brief popular acceptance in the US through its association with escapism, consumerism, and image-making.
In Europe, modernism had a social conscience and put down deep roots; in the US, Philip Johnson christened it International Style, stripped it of its socialist baggage, and sugar-coated it for the masses. This is a tale of optimism and opportunism; of talented architects like Eero Saarinen, Morris Lapidus, and even Frank Lloyd Wright indulging public fantasies in the decade of the 1950s. It was an era of big corporations and splashy public projects; the rejection of austerity in a supremely confident and prosperous America. As Friedman observes, that decade now seems as remote as the Jazz Age or the Gilded 1890s, and it deserves her thoughtful re-evaluation. The images of sleek buildings and seductive advertising are reason enough to browse this book, but you should buy it for its provocative, compelling text.

What's New with Flu? The Post-pandemic Phase
The virus which caused the influenza pandemic in 2009, Influenza A H1N1, continues to circulate along with other flu viruses during the regular influenza season. We are now in what is called the Post Pandemic phase, according to the World Health Organization. The H1N1 virus is now included in the seasonal flu vaccine which you need to get every fall. It is important to remember that a new flu virus can appear at any time and cause another pandemic. CBS maintains its vigilance and monitors flu activity very closely throughout the year. We also make sure our pandemic preparedness plans are kept up to date so that we can respond as effectively as we did during the 2009 pandemic. Although a flu pandemic can have a major impact on the blood supply in terms of staff absenteeism and donors unable to donate due to illness, regular flu season can also affect our ability to supply sufficient quatities of blood to our patients.
Giving and receiving blood is safe. You cannot get the flu from either donating blood or getting a blood transfusion. Flu and other respiratory viruses are spread by direct contact with someone who is sick, or through coughing and sneezing. If you are feeling sick, however and feel you may be coming down with the flu – muscle aches, and fever, please do not come in to donate. Influenza spreads easily from person to person so we ask donors and our staff to stay home when they are sick.
Donated blood is needed to save lives every day. Attending blood donor clinics should remain a priority for all of us who are healthy, including donors who have completely recovered from the flu.
How can you protect yourself and your family from the flu?
There are some simple, common-sense ways that you can help fight the spread of infection and illness, including influenza.
Sources: Health Canada-It's your health, Centers for Disease Control For further information on influenza and how to protect yourself and your family, visit fightflu.ca on the Public Health Agency of Canada website.
For more information, please read the Canadian Blood Services information brochure: Preparing for the Flu: Information for You and Your Family.
Donor Eligibility and Self-Check: To determine if you are healthy enough to donate today, please take our donor self-check. People who may be experiencing flu-like symptoms are encouraged to take this self-check. If you have questions about your eligibility to donate for this or other reasons, please call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283).
To book an appointment to donate, get clinic details, or ask about your eligibility to donate, please call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) today!

Ahern: Beverly Arts Center bringing theater productions to Southland
By Patti Ahern Citizen email@example.com November 15, 2012 1:20PM
The Beverly Arts Center has joined forces with other Chicago-area theater groups to bring professional products to the Southland. One of the scheduled performances will be "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play," which will be staged as it is shown in this photo from last year's production. Actors will play more than one role and will provide sound effects. | Supplied Photo
Updated: December 19, 2012 10:42AM
The Beverly Arts Center, 2407 W. 111th St., Chicago, has joined forces with other Chicago-area theater groups in an effort to bring five professional productions to the city's South Side, and to Southland suburbanites, too.
The effort, which was funded in part through a $60,000 grant from the Chicago Community Trust, will begin with the staging of "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play."
The BAC's production will be performed in a radio studio style, where actors will take on several roles, and one will provide sound effects. It will run Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 and Dec. 7 to 9.
The other plays that will be presented will be Profile Theatre's Jeff-nominated "After;" Porchlight Music Theatre's Billie Holiday-inspired musical "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill;" the Guild Literary Complex's "Our Guides;" and the Beverly Arts Center's production of Neil Simon's "They're Playing Our Song."
Shellee Frazee, artistic director of theater and dance for the BAC, wrote an email expressing her excitement for the grant and for the new plays.
"It was our hope to expand the professional theater series and to develop partnerships with other professional companies in the Chicago area," Frazee wrote. "By nurturing these partnerships we hope to develop a new and more diverse audience that will enhance our venue, allowing it to continue to expand its presence as a strong cultural icon of the South Side.
"This grant allows us the opportunity to expand our professional theatre series, which in turn opens doors to many new adventures. It is incredibly exciting to bring high quality theater to this space."
Michael Weber, the managing artistic director at Porchlight Music Theatre, said Porchlight was the only equity theater that exclusively does musical theater in the city. He said his group's production of the Billie Holiday play was an intense "tour de force" drama.
"This one-woman show is what happened to Billie Holiday," Weber said. "This is what's exciting about the show — "Billie" turns to the audience, and there is all her music and her band, but it really tells of her journey."
The grant for the professional theater series was awarded through the Chicago Community Trust, a community foundation that last year gave more than $130 million to nonprofit organizations. The trust's grant to the BAC was part of its program to enhance cultural vibrancy, access and diversity.
Suzanne Connor, the senior program officer for arts and culture at Chicago Community Trust, said the trust was awarded, in part, to strengthen the goal of art participation in the city.
"The recognition for the BAC was twofold," Connor said. "They need to bring diverse offerings to the community, and they have a lot to offer. The BAC has a fabulous space that is often unknown. Their willingness to collaborate was exemplary.
"The BAC should be very proud of their facility. There is a lack of venues with high production values (in the Southland area). The BAC is a great facility with good production."
Frazee agreed with Connor and was enthusiastic about the partnership with the other theater groups and its opportunity to showcase the BAC beyond Beverly's borders.
"The BAC is definitely moving forward in very positive directions," Frazee wrote. "The grant allowed us to reach out to other theater companies and to expand the use of our beautiful 400-seat theater."
Subscriptions to the 2012-13 BAC Professional Theater Series shows will be available in two options: five shows for $90 ($80 for Beverly Arts Center members) or three shows for 10 percent off each show ticket. Tickets also can be purchased for individual shows.
Information: www.beverlyartcenter.org or (773) 445-3838.

Saturday, August 27th is Kistler Racing Products/ All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Season Championship Night. All four divisions will be competing for double points. Listed below are various scenarios on how the Attica Raceway Park Track Championship could play out for each division.

Emerging plays promise future growth across the WCSB
Over a decade into the unconventional resource revolution, oil and gas companies continue to use extended-reach horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing technology to open up new plays and expand existing plays.
Tight oil plays like the Bakken, the Cardium and the Viking are now well into development mode, with many moving into secondary recovery. Gas and liquids plays like the Montney, the Wilrich, and the Fahler, all in the Deep Basin, are also proven, and dry gas plays in the Horn River Liard Basin are also well established.
But new plays are emerging all the time. The technologies are increasingly being used on more conventional types of formations as well, adding more production from aging fields.
Across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) a number of new developments emerged in 2014, including the Torquay play in southeastern Saskatchewan and the Charlie Lake oil play in northwestern Alberta.
Other plays, like the Duvernay in central Alberta, are moving from exploratory to development mode. And other more conventional plays, including the Glauconite liquids play in central Alberta, are now benefiting from horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing.
Torquay discovery adds to southeastern Saskatchewan Bakken development
Crescent Point Energy announced in April that it had made a significant Torquay discovery in the Flat Lake area of southeastern Saskatchewan which it described as an extension of its Three Forks resource play in North Dakota.
The company reported that throughout 2013 and early 2014 it had delineated the discovery in the Flat Lake area, where the company has more than 220 net sections of land and 400 low-risk Torquay drilling locations on the Canadian side of the border. Crescent Point reported drilling 36 (35.2 net) horizontal wells targeting the Torquay Formation at Flat Lake, growing net production from zero to approximately 5,100 boe/d in just 12 months.
"We're very excited about the results we've seen in the Torquay so far," president and chief executive officer Scott Saxberg said. "These are high-rate-of-return wells at low capital costs relative to North Dakota that complement the Bakken production from our core Flat Lake area. To put it in context, this play has the potential to be the equivalent size of our Viewfield Bakken play."
In 2013, the company added proved plus probable reserves of 11.2 million boe at Flat Lake in the Torquay and Bakken formations combined. Finding and development costs were $11.46 per boe, excluding changes in future development capital, which represents a recycle ratio of 6.4 times per proved plus probable boe for this area.
"The recycle ratio for Flat Lake is more than double the 2.8 recycle ratio we achieved corporately in 2013 and more than triple a recycle ratio of two times, which is considered very good in our industry," Saxberg said.
At year-end 2013, Crescent Point's independent reserve engineers booked estimated ultimate recoveries on producing Torquay wells as high as 275,000 bbls per mile-long well. This type of well, which has a $3.35 million capital cost, generates rates of return of approximately 300 per cent and payouts of approximately seven months.
In 2014, Crescent Point expected to spend approximately $200 million of its 2014 budget in Flat Lake, including drilling approximately 48 net wells.
In addition to its core Flat Lake Torquay land position, over the past 18 months Crescent Point has continued to accumulate a significant exploratory land position of more than 400 net sections in the southern part of southeastern Saskatchewan, targeting the Torquay and Bakken formations. These lands are in addition to the delineated core-area lands discussed above.
Later in April, Crescent Point announced it was acquiring privately held CanEra Energy Corp. and its southeastern Saskatchewan assets for a total consideration of $1.1 billion.
The CanEra assets include more than 260 net sections of land with Torquay potential, of which more than 200 net sections are exploratory land and 60 net sections are in Crescent Point's core Flat Lake area. This gives Crescent Point more than 880 net sections of land with Torquay potential, of which more than 280 net sections are in the core Flat Lake area.
Crescent Point drilled 25 oil wells into the Torquay during the third quarter of 2014, again reporting positive results.
Charlie Lake quickly becomes commercial
Tourmaline Oil Corp. spent $53 million in 2013 consolidating land in the Charlie Lake oil play, and in aggregate, 514 sections were acquired on the trend. The company has wasted little time developing the play.
Tourmaline has drilled 84 horizontal wells into the Charlie Lake play and expects to exit 2014 producing between 18,000 and 20,000 boe/d.
The company believes that the regional pool could ultimately yield over 500 million barrels of oil equivalent. The producer said it controls over 75 per cent of the prospective trend as currently mapped. The company drilled approximately 35 new wells in 2013, and about 50–60 horizontal wells should be completed by the end of 2014. Tourmaline said Charlie Lake is a significant resource-style play, but it is not as large as the Montney, for example. The average cost to drill and complete is $3.6 million. The company has identified 1200 drilling locations in the play.
In early November, Tourmaline announced it sold a 25 per cent stake in the Charlie Lake play to Canadian Non-Operated Resources LP for $500 million. Under the deal, CNOR is taking a 25 per cent interest in all lands, wells, production, reserves and facilities in the northern Alberta play and shares all future development and acquisition costs. Tourmaline made the move to speed development in the play.
"Tourmaline will accelerate the planned exploration and development program commencing in 2015, with both an accelerated drilling program and infrastructure build-out resulting in expenditures of at least $400 million per annum over the duration of the five-year plan," it said in announcing the deal.
Birchcliff Energy Ltd. has been working the Charlie Lake play and expanding its operations at the Worsley field since acquiring it in 2007. The company holds 181,541 net acres that are prospective for the Charlie Lake light oil resource play.
"Our main pool, holding over 400 million barrels of oil in place, is in Worsley, Alberta. Our land is mostly large blocks of 100-per-cent-owned, contiguous blocks, which helps with repeatability, pad drilling and the construction of infrastructure," said Jeff Tonken, president and chief executive officer. "We believe the play has significant growth potential on land we currently own."
He added that the play stretches across the Peace River Arch and has become popular because of the economics and the opportunity for growth due to the application of horizontal drilling and fracturing, which is enabling further resources to be unlocked.
"New technology, horizontal wells, completion techniques and resulting recoveries together with higher light oil prices have driven this play," Tonken said. "This formation is only found in the Peace River Arch, so it will be limited to northwestern Alberta."
On average, drilling and completion costs are roughly $2.5 million per well, Birchcliff says.
Duvernay advancing to commercial production
With an estimated 443 trillion cubic feet of gas, 11.3 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, and 61 billion cubic feet of oil, the Duvernay is the big prize when it comes to Alberta's shale resource.
In 2014, a number of operators reported making progress in moving the play toward development mode.
At the end of the winter drilling season, Encana reported it had drilled 24 gross wells (12 net) in the Duvernay year-to-date and was making good progress in commercializing the play, reported chief operating officer Mike McAllister.
"We have seen tremendous progress in drilling cycle times in the play," he said.
Ten high-intensity completion horizontal wells in Simonette are meeting or exceeding expectations, with initial production averaging about 1,300 boe/d per well. Spud-to-rig release times have improved by an average of 17 days since the first quarter, resulting in cost savings of roughly$1.5 millionper well. Five rigs are currently running in the play.
"Encana has released five Simonette horizontal wells in the second quarter with an average spud-to-rig-release of just under 30 days. This represents a reduction of 17 days or 35 per cent off our average in the first quarter of this year. It also translates into cost savings of about $1.5 million per well," McAllister said. "These five wells are the longest horizontals in the play, with average lateral lengths of 7,000 feet.
"We have also tested five new Simonette horizontal wells in the second quarter. All five wells are meeting or outperforming expectations."
Royal Dutch Shell plc, which describes itself as the leading Duvernay driller, says the jury is still out on the shale play's commercial viability.
"It's still an emerging play from our perspective. PVT [pressure, volume, temperature] and reservoir physics are not well understood yet," said Holger Mandler, who leads the geoscience team for Shell's Fox Creek unit.
"Profitability will still have to be proven by more tests and prolonged production data across the sweet spot," Mandler told the 2014 Unconventional Resources Conference, which was planned and operated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Canadian Society for Unconventional Resources and which took place in Calgary.
Shell entered the play in 2011, spudding its first Duvernay horizontal at Fox Creek in December 2011 and ramping up the program to five rigs by mid-2013.
"It was by far the most aggressive ramp-up of any of the operators in the area," Mandler said. "And after that we slowed down the pace in 2014, currently with one to two rigs basically running."
Looking at industry activity in the Duvernay as of August, Mandler said Shell had drilled and completed the most wells.
"The same thing for production," he said, referring to January 2014 output. "At that point, Duvernay production had come up to about 20,000 boe/d with Shell basically producing roughly half of that at the time." In any multi-fracture play in tight rock, initial production declines steeply.
Mandler said the company now has about 50 wells in the play with 40 on production producing about 7,000 boe/d from Fox Creek. At Willesden Green, the company has drilled just eight wells to date and has three on production.
Much more production history is needed before profitability can be assessed, he emphasized. "Not all the information is coming right away. You have to produce these wells for quite some time...to try to understand the potential."
Technical challenges
When it comes to evaluating the Duvernay's commercial viability, one of the key challenges, in Shell's view, is understanding the reservoir.
"PVT sampling is still a somewhat open question in our minds," said Mandler. "You have to collect a lot of data there. But because of the nature of the Duvernay, of the variability of PVT behaviour across the sweet spot, and the difficulty or impossibility, so far, to collect downhole samples, this is a very difficult question to address technically."
He said the absence of adequate PVT data "has a huge impact when you run dynamic models. It has a large impact in terms of per-well EURs [estimated ultimate recoveries]. So this is a key parameter for estimating, for predicting or modelling well performance. And it's very difficult to tackle in this area."
"Same thing with production," he added. "Similarly, we feel that we need really extended production history to really have a high-confidence estimate of well performance. So long-term production that is half a year or longer."
With more wells on stream, production history will obviously accumulate over time, Mandler acknowledged, but he added, "A lot of the information we have is still based on tests across the area and on short-term production."
Another challenge is reservoir architecture. He said the Duvernay B—"a fairly massive mudstone"—and other calcareous stringers appear to be potential frac barriers.
Mandler said "a number of observations" suggest natural fractures are present across the play, and this could pose another technical challenge. "The wells are somewhat active while drilling, which you wouldn't expect given the really low permeabilities in the play."
One of the things Shell did last year in its initial Duvernay drilling blitz was to drill three "data pads," four-well pads with unique configurations to help determine development parameters such as well spacing and frac fluids.
"We call them data pads because they're not only unique configurations to test certain concepts but also have some additional technology deployment that you wouldn't do in a regular appraisal or a development well," he explained, citing microseismic monitors as an example.
Mandler didn't talk about Shell's individual Duvernay well results, but he said the industry as a whole has been reporting per-well results in the range of roughly 350–1,300 bbls/d of oil and one to seven MMcf/d of gas.
He cited third-party ultimate recovery estimates of up to 700,000 bbls of liquids per well and 4.7 bcf of gas. He said a few wells that have already produced more than 150,000 bbls of oil.
A typical Duvernay well takes between 20 and 40 days from spud to rig release, and most have been cased and cemented with plug-and-perf completions, Mandler said. "There were a number of wells that were attempted with open-hole completions with mixed results...so most operators have gone to plug-and-perf."
He said total lateral lengths range between 900 and 2,600 metres, and the number of frac stages ranges between seven and 27. Oil gravities range between 43 and 55 degrees API.
Glauconite benefits from horizontal technology
New drilling and completion technologies are also having a significant impact on more conventional plays.
For example, Bonavista Energy is using horizontal drilling in the Hoadley Glauconite play in south-central Alberta.
The Hoadley Glauconite was originally discovered in 1977 and is estimated to contain an ultimate potential recoverable reserve of six trillion to seven trillion cubic feet of gas and 350 million to 400 million barrels of associated natural gas liquids.
"Our Hoadley Glauconite play continues to be the engine of growth representing a forecasted 65 per cent of the total expenditures in this core area for 2014 and delivering excellent economics at current prices," Bonavista president and chief executive officer Jason Skehar said in announcing the company's second-quarter results.
Bonavista drilled 15 net horizontal Glauconite wells in the second quarter, bringing total activity in the first half of 2014 to 27 net horizontal wells. This represents a 25 per cent increase in drilling activity when compared to 20.4 net horizontal wells drilled in the first half of 2013.
Current horizontal Glauconite production volumes are approximately 22,500 boe/d, which is modestly ahead of the company's five-year forecast.
Bonavista said that the continued growth in its Glauconite play has warranted additional infrastructure, including a transmission line designed for 120 MMcf/d of natural gas transportation and a 30-MMcf/d compressor station.
The average cost reduction of 11 per cent per well realized to date in the company's extended-reach horizontal program is compelling when compared to the cost to access the equivalent reservoir from two separate horizontal wells. Year-to-date, Bonavista has drilled five extended-reach horizontals with three of these wells drilled in the second quarter. Well performance is meeting expectations.

GeographyBahrain, which means "two seas," is an archipelago in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia. The islands for the most part are level expanses of sand and rock. A causeway connects Bahrain to Saudi Arabia. GovernmentConstitutional monarchy. HistoryKnown in ancient times as Dilmun, Bahrain was an important center of trade by the 3rd millennium B.C. The islands were ruled by the Persians in the 4th century A.D., and then by Arabs until 1541, when the Portuguese invaded them. Persia again claimed Bahrain in 1602. In 1783 Ahmad ibn al-Khalifah took over, and the al-Khalifahs remain the ruling family today. Bahrain became a British protectorate in 1820. It did not gain full independence until Aug. 14, 1971. Although oil was discovered in Bahrain in the 1930s, it was relatively little compared to other Gulf states, and the wells are expected to be the first in the region to dry up. Sheik Isa ibn Sulman al-Khalifah, who became emir in 1961, was determined to diversify his country's economy, and he set about establishing Bahrain as a major financial center. The country provides its people with free medical care, education, and old-age pensions. Conflicts between the Shiite and Sunni Muslims are a recurring problem in Bahrain. The Sunni minority, to which the ruling al-Khalifah family belongs, controls nearly all the power and wealth in the country. the Shiites continue to agitate for more representation in government, and minor violent clashes have led to about two dozen deaths since 1994. Internal Reforms Increase Bahrain's Attractiveness as an Ally to the WestBahrain has been an important Western ally, serving as a Western air base during the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and the Iraq War in 2003. It continues to serve as the base of the United States' Fifth Fleet, which patrols the Gulf. The emir, Sheik Isa ibn Sulman al-Khalifah, died in 1999 after four decades of rule. He was succeeded by his son, Sheik Hamad ibn Isa al-Khalifah, who gave himself the title of king but also began a sweeping democratization of the country: censorship has been relaxed and draconian laws repealed, exiles have been repatriated, and the stateless Bidoons have been granted citizenship. In a Feb. 2001 referendum, which permitted women to vote for the first time, Bahrainis overwhelmingly supported the transformation of the traditional monarchy into a constitutional one. In Oct. 2002, Bahrain had its first parliamentary election since 1973. In 2006, the U.S. and Bahrain signed a free-trade agreement. Political Unrest in the Middle East Spreads to BahrainAnti-government demonstrations gripped several countries in the Middle East in early 2011, and Bahrain experienced some of the most violent confrontations between protesters and government forces and police. The protesters, inspired by recent events in Egypt and Tunisia, began their protests on Feb. 14. There has long been simmering tension between the populace, which is 70% Shiite, and the Sunni monarchy and ruling class. Shiites complain that they are excluded from top positions in the military and government and claim that the government encourages immigration of Sunnis and then gives Sunnis preference in hiring. In response to the protests, King Hamad offered each Bahraini a payment of about $2,700 and promised to increase jobs, which only emboldened the opposition. On Feb. 17, police fired on the demonstrators in Manama's Pearl Square, killing at least two people, and during the funeral the next day, government forces attacked mourners. The attacks drew a strong rebuke from the U.S., which bases the navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and stations troops in the country. The government withdrew troops on Feb. 18, and for the next several days thousands of triumphant protesters poured into Pearl Square. Crowds reached their peak on Feb. 22, with more than 100,000 protesters gathered in the square. The enormous pro-democracy protests continued for three weeks, but the euphoria was short lived. On March 14, at the request of King Hamad, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates dispatched 2,000 troops to help break up the protests. The presence of neighboring Sunni troops in a country populated by a majority of Shiites further inflamed sectarian strife. The Shiites labeled the deployment an "invasion." When violence broke out between protesters and troops, King Hamad declared martial law and resumed implementing repressive tactics against the opposition, including using force to remove protesters from Pearl Square, warrantless searches, mass arrests, and there were allegations of torture. King Hamad lifted the state of emergency on June 1, but the country remained tense and on the brink of violence. In June King Hamad appointed an independent commission to investigate the crackdown by his security forces on protesters. The report released in November found widespread human-rights abuses, saying prisoners—mostly Shia—were hooded, whipped, beaten, and given electric-shock treatment. Five prisoners died in custody. While the report was an embarrassment to the government and highly critical, it proved that the king followed up on his promise to fairly and fully investigate the allegations of abuse. Hamad said the perpetrators will be fired. Protesters returning to Pearl Square in Manama in February 2012 to mark the one-year anniversary of the uprising were pushed back by police who fired tear gas and stun grenades at them. The protests continued through the year, and the government continued to stifle dissent and crack down on the movement. Several protesters and police were killed in the fighting, and in October the interior minister banned demonstrations and forms of protest, saying protesters had taken advantage of the freedom of speech the government had granted them.

Jay Nutt is a chef and owns a gourmet food store.
Don Mercer is a professional engineer and associate professor in the Department of Food Science at the University of Guelph, Canada.
little disappointed in this book. Not quite the "bible" we were looking for. Not very many beef jerky recipes and only dry rub ones at that.
This book has lots of infomation for a newbie like me. Easy to understand.
This was exactly what I needed and so far has performed very well
This is a wonderful book. I m a beginner dehydrator and it is very thorough.
I came across this book from my library after purchasing a dehydrator along with the so called dehydrator books that the store carried. This book was the best, even compaired to the recipes found on the internet. I found the recipes to be easy to follow and tasty, which comes in handy for my husband who travels for work and enjoys fishing and hunting trips. These meals are great for helping him to keep energized while enjoying homecooked meals away from our family. The kids and I love them as well when we venture out for our camping trips with him.

Often, the creative process is set in motion by David Yurman's experience in the natural world. The bend of a branch, the flicker of a star, a swaying stalk of wheat—in these small, poetic moments he finds endless inspiration. He interprets them in precious metals and gemstones, always revealing nature's artistry. "I never make it symmetric," he notes. "It's perfectly asymmetric. Nature is not perfect."
Ocean waves are one of the most awe-inspiring natural forces. Combining energy, power, ferocity, and beauty, waves have captivated artist for centuries. The Waves Collection is inspired by the wood-block paintings of Japanese artist Hokusai and by carvings on the tsuba (hand guards) of 18th century Samurai swords. The contrasting pattern of the fluid waves and the geometric sky create a compelling, textured motif.

God directs the Israelites to Pihahiroth, Pharaoh pursues after them. (1-9) The Israelites murmur, Moses comforts them. (10-14) God instructs Moses, The cloud between the Israelites and the Egyptians. (15-20) The Israelites pass through the Red sea, which drowns the Egyptians. (21-31)
Verses 1-9 Pharaoh would think that all Israel was entangled in the wilderness, and so would become an easy prey. But God says, I will be honoured upon Pharaoh. All men being made for the honour of their Maker, those whom he is not honoured by, he will be honoured upon. What seems to tend to the church's ruin, is often overruled to the ruin of the church's enemies. While Pharaoh gratified his malice and revenge, he furthered the bringing to pass God's counsels concerning him. Though with the greatest reason he had let Israel go, yet now he was angry with himself for it. God makes the envy and rage of men against his people, a torment to themselves. Those who set their faces heavenward, and will live godly in Christ Jesus, must expect to be set upon by Satan's temptations and terrors. He will not tamely part with any out of his service.
Verses 10-14 There was no way open to Israel but upward, and thence their deliverance came. We may be in the way of duty, following God, and hastening toward heaven, yet may be troubled on every side. Some cried out unto the Lord; their fear led them to pray, and that was well. God brings us into straits, that he may bring us to our knees. Others cried out against Moses; fear set them murmuring as if God were not still able to work miracles. They quarrel with Moses for bringing them out of Egypt; and so were angry with God for the greatest kindness ever done them; thus gross are the absurdities of unbelief. Moses says, Fear ye not. It is always our duty and interest, when we cannot get out of troubles, yet to get above our fears; let them quicken our prayers and endeavours, but not silence our faith and hope. "Stand still," think not to save yourselves either by fighting or flying; wait God's orders, and observe them. Compose yourselves, by confidence in God, into peaceful thoughts of the great salvation God is about to work for you. If God brings his people into straits, he will find a way to bring them out.
Verses 15-20 Moses' silent prayers of faith prevailed more with God than Israel's loud outcries of fear. The pillar of cloud and fire came behind them, where they needed a guard, and it was a wall between them and their enemies. The word and providence of God have a black and dark side toward sin and sinners, but a bright and pleasant side toward the people of the Lord. He, who divided between light and darkness, ( Genesis 1:4 ) , allotted darkness to the Egyptians, and light to the Israelites. Such a difference there will be between the inheritance of the saints in light, and that utter darkness which will be the portion of hypocrites for ever.
Verses 21-31 The dividing the Red sea was the terror of the Canaanites, ( Joshua 2:9 ) ; the praise and triumph of the Israelites, ( Psalm 114:3 , Psalm 106:9 , Psalm 136:13 ) . It was a type of baptism, #1Co. 10:1, #1Co. 10:2 . Israel's passage through it was typical of the conversion of souls, ( Isaiah 11:15 ) ; and the Egyptians being drowned in it was typical of the final ruin of all unrepenting sinners. God showed his almighty power, by opening a passage through the waters, some miles over. God can bring his people through the greatest difficulties, and force a way where he does not find it. It was an instance of his wonderful favour to his Israel. They went through the sea, they walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea. This was done, in order to encourage God's people in all ages to trust him in the greatest straits. What cannot he do who did this? What will not he do for those that fear and love him, who did this for these murmuring, unbelieving Israelites? Then followed the just and righteous wrath of God upon his and his people's enemies. The ruin of sinners is brought on by their own rage and presumption. They might have let Israel alone, and would not; now they would flee from the face of Israel, and cannot. Men will not be convinced, till it is too late, that those who meddle with God's people, meddle to their own hurt. Moses was ordered to stretch out his hand over the sea; the waters returned, and overwhelmed all the host of the Egyptians. Pharaoh and his servants, who had hardened one another in sin, now fell together, not one escaped. The Israelites saw the Egyptians dead upon the sands. The sight very much affected them. While men see God's works, and feel the benefit, they fear him and trust in him. How well were it for us, if we were always in as good a frame as sometimes! Behold the end to which a Christian may look forward. His enemies rage, and are mighty; but while he holds fast by God, he shall pass the waves in safety guarded by that very power of his Saviour, which shall come down on every spiritual foe. The enemies of his soul whom he hath seen to-day, he shall see no more for ever.
Exodus 14:1-31 . GOD INSTRUCTS THE ISRAELITES AS TO THEIR JOURNEY.
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp--The Israelites had now completed their three days' journey, and at Etham the decisive step would have to be taken whether they would celebrate their intended feast and return, or march onwards by the head of the Red Sea into the desert, with a view to a final departure. They were already on the borders of the desert, and a short march would have placed them beyond the reach of pursuit, as the chariots of Egypt could have made little progress over dry and yielding sand. But at Etham, instead of pursuing their journey eastward with the sea on their right, they were suddenly commanded to diverge to the south, keeping the gulf on their left; a route which not only detained them lingering on the confines of Egypt, but, in adopting it, they actually turned their backs on the land of which they had set out to obtain the possession. A movement so unexpected, and of which the ultimate design was carefully concealed, could not but excite the astonishment of all, even of Moses himself, although, from his implicit faith in the wisdom and power of his heavenly Guide, he obeyed. The object was to entice Pharaoh to pursue, in order that the moral effect, which the judgments on Egypt had produced in releasing God's people from bondage, might be still further extended over the nations by the awful events transacted at the Red Sea.
Pi-hahiroth--the mouth of the defile, or pass--a description well suited to that of Bedea, which extended from the Nile and opens on the shore of the Red Sea.
Migdol--a fortress or citadel.
Baal-zephon--some marked site on the opposite or eastern coast.
3. the wilderness hath shut them in--Pharaoh, who would eagerly watch their movements, was now satisfied that they were meditating flight, and he naturally thought from the error into which they appeared to have fallen by entering that defile, he could intercept them. He believed them now entirely in his power, the mountain chain being on one side, the sea on the other, so that, if he pursued them in the rear, escape seemed impossible.
5. the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, &c.--Alas, how soon the obduracy of this reprobate king reappears! He had been convinced, but not converted--overawed, but not sanctified by the appalling judgments of heaven. He bitterly repented of what he now thought a hasty concession. Pride and revenge, the honor of his kingdom, and the interests of his subjects, all prompted him to recall his permission to reclaim those runaway slaves and force them to their wonted labor. Strange that he should yet allow such considerations to obliterate or outweigh all his painful experience of the danger of oppressing that people. But those whom the Lord has doomed to destruction are first infatuated by sin.
6, 7. he made ready his chariot--His preparations for an immediate and hot pursuit are here described: A difference is made between "the chosen chariots" and "the chariots of Egypt." The first evidently composed the king's guard, amounting to six hundred, and they are called "chosen," literally, "third men"; three men being allotted to each chariot, the charioteer and two warriors. As to "the chariots of Egypt," the common cars contained only two persons, one for driving and the other for fighting; sometimes only one person was in the chariot, the driver lashed the reins round his body and fought; infantry being totally unsuitable for a rapid pursuit, and the Egyptians having had no cavalry, the word "riders" is in the grammatical connection applied to war chariots employed, and these were of light construction, open behind, and hung on small wheels.
10. when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes--The great consternation of the Israelites is somewhat astonishing, considering their vast superiority in numbers, but their deep dismay and absolute despair at the sight of this armed host receives a satisfactory explanation from the fact that the civilized state of Egyptian society required the absence of all arms, except when they were on service. If the Israelites were entirely unarmed at their departure, they could not think of making any resistance [WILKINSON and HENGSTENBERG].
13, 14. Moses said, . . . Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord--Never, perhaps, was the fortitude of a man so severely tried as that of the Hebrew leader in this crisis, exposed as he was to various and inevitable dangers, the most formidable of which was the vengeance of a seditious and desperate multitude; but his meek, unruffled, magnanimous composure presents one of the sublimest examples of moral courage to be found in history. And whence did his courage arise? He saw the miraculous cloud still accompanying them, and his confidence arose solely from the hope of a divine interposition, although, perhaps, he might have looked for the expected deliverance in every quarter, rather than in the direction of the sea.
15-18. the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? &c.--When in answer to his prayers, he received the divine command to go forward, he no longer doubted by what kind of miracle the salvation of his mighty charge was to be effected.
19. the angel of God--that is, the pillar of cloud The slow and silent movement of that majestic column through the air, and occupying a position behind them must have excited the astonishment of the Israelites ( Isaiah 58:8 ). It was an effectual barrier between them and their pursuers, not only protecting them, but concealing their movements. Thus, the same cloud produced light (a symbol of favor) to the people of God, and darkness (a symbol of wrath) to their enemies (compare 2 Corinthians 2:16 ).
21. Moses stretched out his hand, &c.--The waving of the rod was of great importance on this occasion to give public attestation in the presence of the assembled Israelites, both to the character of Moses and the divine mission with which he was charged.
the Lord caused . . . a strong east wind all that night--Suppose a mere ebb tide caused by the wind, raising the water to a great height on one side, still as there was not only "dry land," but, according to the tenor of the sacred narrative, a wall on the right hand and on the left ( Exodus 14:22 ), it would be impossible on the hypothesis of such a natural cause to rear the wall on the other. The idea of divine interposition, therefore, is imperative; and, assuming the passage to have been made at Mount Attakah, or at the mouth of Wady Tawarik, an east wind would cut the sea in that line. The Hebrew word kedem, however, rendered in our translation, "east," means, in its primary signification, previous; so that this verse might, perhaps, be rendered, "the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong previous wind all that night"; a rendering which would remove the difficulty of supposing the host of Israel marched over on the sand, in the teeth of a rushing column of wind, strong enough to heap up the waters as a wall on each side of a dry path, and give the intelligible narrative of divine interference.
22. the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea, &c.--It is highly probable that Moses, along with Aaron, first planted his footsteps on the untrodden sand, encouraging the people to follow him without fear of the treacherous walls; and when we take into account the multitudes that followed him, the immense number who through infancy and old age were incapable of hastening their movements, together with all the appurtenances of the camp, the strong and steadfast character of the leaders' faith was strikingly manifested ( Joshua 2:10 , 4:23 , Psalms 66:6 , 74:13 , 106:9 , 136:13 , Isaiah 63:11-13 , 1 Corinthians 10:1 , Hebrews 11:29 ).
23. the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea--From the darkness caused by the intercepting cloud, it is probable that they were not aware on what ground they were driving: they heard the sound of the fugitives before them, and they pushed on with the fury of the avengers of blood, without dreaming that they were on the bared bed of the sea.
24, 25. Lord looked . . . through . . . the cloud, and troubled them--We suppose the fact to have been that the side of the pillar of cloud towards the Egyptians was suddenly, and for a few moments, illuminated with a blaze of light, which, coming as it were in a refulgent flash upon the dense darkness which had preceded, so frightened the horses of the pursuers that they rushed confusedly together and became unmanageable. "Let us flee," was the cry that resounded through the broken and trembling ranks, but it was too late; all attempts at flight were vain [BUSH].
27. Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, &c.--What circumstances could more clearly demonstrate the miraculous character of this transaction than that at the waving of Moses' rod, the dividing waters left the channel dry, and on his making the same motion on the opposite side, they returned, commingling with instantaneous fury? Is such the character of any ebb tide?
28. there remained not so much as one of them--It is surprising that, with such a declaration, some intelligent writers can maintain there is no evidence of the destruction of Pharaoh himself ( Psalms 106:11 ).
30. Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore, &c.--The tide threw them up and left multitudes of corpses on the beach; a result that brought greater infamy on the Egyptians, but that tended, on the other hand, to enhance the triumph of the Israelites, and doubtless enriched them with arms, which they had not before. The locality of this famous passage has not yet been, and probably never will be, satisfactorily fixed. Some place it in the immediate neighborhood of Suez; where, they say, the part of the sea is most likely to be affected by "a strong east wind" ( Exodus 14:21 ); where the road from the defile of Migdol (now Muktala) leads directly to this point; and where the sea, not above two miles broad, could be crossed in a short time. The vast majority, however, who have examined the spot, reject this opinion, and fix the passage, as does local tradition, about ten or twelve miles further down the shore at Wady Tawarik. "The time of the miracle was the whole night, at the season of the year, too, when the night would be about its average length. The sea at that point extends from six and a half to eight miles in breadth. There was thus ample time for the passage of the Israelites from any part of the valley, especially considering their excitement and animation by the gracious and wonderful interposition of Providence in their behalf" [WILSON].

Shaved turkey breast with dijon mustard and a slice of gruyere on a ciabatta.
What sandwich did you have?
I had a bacon sandwich for my breakfast.
I was hungry.
I had a tuna sandwich a few hours ago, I was hungry.
The bread was a little old and bitter tasting tho.
And the tuna seemed desperate for attention.

waaay more complicated of a sandwich than I'd ever make for myself, but my BF made up a couple for camping this past weekend and I had leftovers.
Steak sandwich mmmmmmmmm
I had shaved turkey with shredded mozzarella, crumbled bacon and lite mayo in a whole wheat wrap. Close enough to a sandwich?
Why? because I like it
I ate at Chick-fil-A today.
I got a chicken sandwich deluxe with waffle fries & a lemonade.
They gave me a free chocolate chunk cookie!
The guy who took my order & the store manager (both guys) were cuties.............damn why I do I always fall for clean-cut, conservative looking white men !?!
I used to be like that, but not anymore. At least not on the first date. Third date, whole other story..."
Hmm, that sounds like my kind of sandwich too. Turkey with Dijon mustard.
The last one I had was nothing but a slice of bread and cheese with a glass of red.
hamburger, with pickle, lettuce, tomato, onion, Ketchup and mustard.
idk 'bout y'all, but i wouldn't mind having a Jonas Brothers sandwich...
"Everyone wants to be adored."
I had a bologna sandwich with mustard this evening. Yesterday, however, I had a Subway sandwich. A 6" Oven Roasted Chicken Breast on wheat with shredded cheese, lettuce and chipolte sauce. YUM.
I had left over lasagna that I made. God damn was it good. I should have taken a picture but I didn't cause I'm not retarded.

Grilled Cheese.
I had Underwood Deviled Ham with ketchup, cheese and sweet pickles.
