Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
Inside Story | 06 Jun 2012 06:49 GMT | Politics, Lebanon, Syria, United Kingdom
Around 15 people have been killed and more than 40 others injured in recent fighting in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli - a large city that sits on a very porous border just 130km from the Syrian capital Damascus.
"[There is] chaos on the streets and you have children carrying guns, you have all kinds of foreigners on Lebanese soil. We have to question if we still have the sovereignty of Lebanon, [when] you have the Free Syrian Army still there, thousands of them fighting in Tripoli."
- Kamel Wazne, a political analyst
A ceasefire is now in place and although there are no armed groups on the streets, the guns and fighters have not gone away.
The violence seems to have mirrored the fighting in Syria, with clashes between pro-Assad Alawites and anti-Assad Sunnis.
It is a three-decade-old conflict that has been made worse by the uprising across the border in Syria. For months now, there have been fears that the turmoil in Syria could destabilise Lebanon.
But there are other factors at play as well; the densely populated city has high levels of poverty and the districts of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al Tabbaneh - the main sites of the recent fighting - are the most deprived. And the people in the northern region of Lebanon remain marginalised, with the state having done very little to develop the area.
"I think that what is happening in Tripoli is the latest phase of a Syrian attack against Lebanon. It's just an extension of the atrocities committed by the Syrian regime against its own people."
- Saleh El Machnouk, a political analyst
"Every month or so the clashes erupt .... No one knows how the violence starts and how it ends. It may be quiet now but in a few days there will be more fighting. Politicians want to settle scores," Abu Ahmed, a resident of Bab al Tabbaneh, told Al Jazeera
Disarming any Lebanese faction would require a political decision and a consensus among divided politicians.
Najib Mikati, the Lebanese prime minister, said: "The Lebanese army and internal security forces need to take all measures to stop the clashes in the city of Tripoli, without discrimination."
For now there is an uneasy calm, but how long is it going to last and what is fuelling the violence in Lebanon?
Inside Story, with presenter Laura Kyle, discusses with guests: Kamel Wazne, a political analyst and a professor at the American University of Science and Technology; Saleh El Machnouk, a political analyst and a lecturer at the Lebanese American University; and Robert Fisk, a Middle East analyst and foreign correspondent for the UK newspaper The Independent.
"It is certainly a very dangerous situation to have popped up in Tripoli. It's been coming for a long time. For many months the Lebanese army have actually been based inside Tripoli at crusader castle, ironically taking the role of long-ago French invaders of the Middle East. So what you have got, in fact, is exactly what started during the period of civil war. What's worrying the prime minister and everyone in Lebanon is the fear that the army might break apart, which is what started the war in 1975. I don't think it will, but that is the fear."

hood question
We want to replace our "over the range' microwave with a regular hood. The range sits on an interior wall and currently exhausts through a duct that runs above the top cabinets. Click link below to see some photos. See the fake plant above the cabinets in my first pic? That's concealing the duct painted dark blue to match the wall. I Love the look of a stainless steel chimney hood (without cabinets above the range), but I guess that won't work with the vent configuration we currently have? Unless any of you have some suggestions, creative alternatives? We could build a soffit to cover duct, but I suspect this would look awkward with a chimney hood? What do you think?
This will be a DIY job & DH is pretty handy. Removing cabinets, fixing drywall, adding backsplash etc is doable; running exhaust up through the roof is not. We also plan to replace the tiled countertop this winter.
Our back story: We moved into this house last year. I love this kitchen - IF only one person is in it. Often times, DH and I are cooking/cleaning together and it is too congested. Moving microwave to a new location is one step in trying to resolve this problem. I know many of you will have fantastic ideas to help us tweak the layout to give us more elbow room, but I need to make a full drawing with accurate measurements, etc. Until then, here are some pics!
Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen photos
Wow, that microwave is a beast. I agree that a range hood will improve the space. The exposed duct units are nice but I've spoken with people who have said the exposed pipe is a pain to keep clean, and in an awkward spot to clean. You simplest solution is, as you stated, move the mv and install a hood. We just went thru this on our new and ongoing remodel and ended up with a Zephyr model that we liked.
If you chose to go with the exposed duct model you will have a real hard time trimming out the crown molding at the top. DH, I'm assuming is da Husband, will have to be a hand to do that cleanly.

DENVER — The Jefferson County sheriff says the death of an inmate was "potentially preventable."
Jennifer Lobato was arrested for shoplifting March 1 and reported feeling ill the following day. She was scheduled to be seen during routine medical rounds that evening, but she stopped breathing before she could be seen by a medical professional.
The Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1MwqNJM ) Lobato complained to jail staff that she was withdrawing from "meth," though investigators haven't determined if she meant methamphetamine or methadone.
According to an internal investigation, a deputy who saw Lobato vomiting before her death said something to the effect of "that's why you shouldn't do drugs."
Referring to those remarks, Sheriff Jeff Shrader said the conduct of some employees "don't reflect the values of the organization and there will likely be discipline."

19.5hp Intek, hole in block
Hi, I have a Mculloch/Husqvarna 42"ride on. It is 6 months old done about 40-50 hrs. The other day a rod flew through the block. A few days earlier I did an oil change, I checked 3 or 4 times to make sure I put enough in.I ran it 2 days later for 1.1/2hrs and then the next day I started it and after 1 minute bang!!
Its hard to get parts or info in Australia on these engines, but it sounds a little common. What would anybody suggest?
Replace it with a Kohler engine, or go back to the original Intek? The fella I bought it off is a Husqvarna mechanic and he reckons he might be able to get one wholesale. Otherwise theyare $1000!!
Anyone had this problem before ??
If no warranty, then I'd just replace the motor if the rest of mower appears workable. Briggs & Stratton is usually a reliable engine. But you could go with a different make of engine if the shaft matches your shaft.
Incidentally I have a 17.5 hp engine on my 42" mower. The difference in power is neglible. Something to keep in mind if you can get a better deal on a different hp engine.
If you switch to a different brand engine, you'll have to deal with electrical connector surgery at a minimum. Possibly problems with the muffler and throttle linkage??
IF you stick with Briggs, you have much more versatility. For example, if the charging system is different, you can simply swap the one off the old engine.
Post the Briggs Model & Type #
that "next day when you started it and after 1 minute, Bang"... did you check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and was it within the dipstick limit marks after the stick wipe-off and 2nd dip?
And - my Aussie friend - don't be taking Rusty to the woodshed - chances are he's older than yer daddy and has fixed more mowers than you've ever seen.
G'day, mate.
Well, as "dip-sticks" go---you can just stick it in the hole in the block, and get the reading there! By the way--do you just pull the stick out, look at it, without wiping off the oil, and re-insert it and then start it? If you do that--its no wonder the engine went "BANG"! Maybe, by now, you might realise you aren't really as smart as your comments make you out to be! Thanks for the smarmy message, to me, from you. Be happy, when help comes to you. I don't get my feelings hurt much any more, so have at it. Yours: Rusty Jones, The Mower Man!
Yes, Rusty Jones arta be about 87 YOA now.

Now, on the other hand, if the shoe fits you must wear it.

Pick it Rusty,
I am not a mechanic, so this is a bit double dutch.
The float needle leaked diluting oil with gas??
It runs on petrol, what is a float needle, and why is it common they leak?? You mean this will happen again??
The neighbour and I are going to pull it apart today.
"I am not a mechanic," "The neighbour and I are going to pull it apart today."
Well that should be interesting. The float needle may get a speck of dirty, flake from inside the gas line, or other contaminate under it keep it from seating. Best solution for all these engines is an inline gas shut off valve and shut the gas off whenever the engine is not running.
Hole in block? The connecting rod will be broken and most likely the crankshaft will be damaged at a minimum. Camshaft and or camshaft bearing towers may be damaged. New short block or different engine likely best route.
Petro there, gas, gasoline, here.
Walt Conner
If the engine was low on oil, you should see evidence of scoring, or scratches, on the crankshaft, where it meets the connecting rod. If the journal is smooth and reflective, then there is some other reason for the rod failure. Possibly a defective part, or possibly over revving. You did not have the engine running long enough for overheating to occur.
The float and the float needle valve (with valve seat) is what maintains the petrol at a specific height or level in the carby during engine operation. It is widely (through erroneously) believed that the float and needle are dependable enough to serve as a "fuel stop valve" when the engine is not running (machine is at rest between uses).
Float systems were never intended to be the sole fuel keeper for the duration of storage, even if it is a short period.
Price point marketing has caused the omission/deletion of factory installed, manually operated........fuel stop cocks a long time past.
And the upshot of that has been a lot of trashed engines due to petrol dilution of the crankcase lube oil since that time.
EVERY piece of outdoor power equipment should be fitted with an inline fuel shutoff valve and the valve should be closed except when the engine is actually running during use.
Never put blind faith in the performance of a float valve to keep your petrol confined to the tank during storage of the machine, not even overnight.
Typically, if the float needle in the carby leaks petrol into the crankcase (during the time the engine is offline), the next operating session of the engine will usually have great clouds of blue smoke pouring out the exhaust.
The reason is that the petrol in the crankcase thins out the lube oil and raises the level high enough for the crankshaft to begin frothing the mixture into a foam.
Next, as the engine begins to warm up, the volatile petrol begins to "boil off" and in doing so, the crankcase becomes pressurized and the pressure begins to vent out of the crankcase through the crankcase vent and on into the intake system of the engine............where this oil rich stream will be fed to the combustion chamber.
The result is a huge amount of smoke and a rapid depletion of lube oil from the crankcase.
Sometimes this runaway process moves so much oil out at once that the engine is literally overwhelmed with the mixture and (thankfully) the engine may stop running before the crankshaft is trashed.
Sometimes the amount of petrol is low enough that the oil moves out at a bit slower pace, but still fast enough to run the engine low, besides that, the foamy and thinned oil is not much good as a lubricant and so the engine is slain in a tortuous death.
Just tell us the condition of the crankshaft rod journals, or even better, show us some photos of your findings.
Thanks for posting the photo of the scored crankshaft journal. The surface is clearly scored, most likely due to lack of oil. I can't say if gasoline from the fuel system got into your oil. Since the engine was on a "demo" unit, it has an unknown service history. I agree with comments above that pertain to the need for a fuel shut-off valve between the gas tank and the carburetor. This valve allows the owner/operator to close the valve and run the carburetor dry at the end of the day, and at the end of the season. It greatly simplifies prepping an engine for off-season storage, and it helps keep the carburetor clean and free of varnish and gum residue. There is reason to think that if such a valve had been installed on your tractor as original equipment, and it the valve had been used on a daily basis, your engine would still be in good condition.
There can always be a degree of conjecture (A.K.A "the maybes") in trying learn the actual contributing factors that lead up to catastrophic failures such as this one.
One thing now certain (since seeing photo evidence) is that some time recently (how recent is unknown, but I would guess within a few days prior to scattering).............the engine suffered a period of running with insufficient oil in the engine.........or oil that was adulterated with petrol............or the oil was worn out from being in use too long...........or inadequate grade of oil was used (all conjecture, mind you, and not an accusing pointed finger).
The bottom line in this internet analysis is that the crankshaft connecting rod journal, and the rod big end, became scored from inadequate lubrication and from that initial scoring, the damage simply propagated to cover more and more of the rod big end and the crankshaft journal. The rod began transferring aluminum alloy onto the crankshaft (called "galling"). The result of galling is somewhat akin to welding in that the material from the connecting rod and the surface of the crankshaft try to become one piece of material, instead of one component revolving inside the other.
At some point this highly overheated mass of metal begins to tear apart and shed loose pieces from the juncture of the rod and crank, and at that point the rod big end may fly to pieces and separate from the crankshaft..........or the rod may fuse sufficiently to the crankshaft that the rotational torque will break the rod somewhere between the crank journal and the piston wrist pin.
Other scenarios that can also happen in these events include the likelihood of piston galling to the cylinder (which tends to stop the piston mid stroke) and thereby breaking the connecting rod by PULLING it apart.
This engine is now recyclable in the most basic way.
Yes, something I haven't pointed out, the day before, I was on an embankment, say 80 degrees angle. I was right on the edge and it slipped. I disengaged the blades and then it rolled backwards down the slope and then I just drove off around the end and carried on mowing. Maybe this incline had something to do with the oil?
I carried on mowing no problem, till next day when it blew after 1 minute.
Thanks guys.
Ive been on the net since googling for engines and they are all over in USA, it seems I cant get one on line here.
I really don't get Rusty Jones. His posts are either giberish or they are in dialect. He is prone to posting intellegence insulting comments and when someone reacts to one of his insulting quips, RJ gets offended?
Fowks hoo livs in glas howsis shoodnt thro stowns.
Grass - answer with the bark on:
not getting Rusty means you don't have any grasp of the subject(s) he addresses. His wisdom comes from decades of applied L&G powered eqpt experience and self-reliance... prolly has more "been-there-done-that" t-shirts than many of us will ever earn.
On top of that, he is still going strong when most of us would be proud to sit up in a wheelchair and oh, BTW, left one of his feet in Europe so you and I can still write subjective posts. IMHO, he has earned his right to post in his own way and does offer very good practical advice to many that come here looking for help.
You know how Jethro Gibbs smacks Tony on the back of his head (NCIS)?................
Well, that's rusty.
This forum could likened to a gemstone.......rusty is but one facet in the entire array.
I (on the other hand), may be that green stuff that shows up on cheap jewelry.
May God bless rusty and all our veterans.
rcbe, reply with muzzle on:
Ive been reading this forum for a couple of years and I'm aware of rusty's knowledge and wisdom. I also understand he enjoys employing giberish and dialect as a literary device when posting. If you want to pick rusty's brain, you have to earn the priviledge by deciphering his code. That's fine. I enjoy reading his posts.
I would be the last one to chastize him when he posts something demeaning or rude. It's a free country we live in and we have great latitude in what we say and how we say it thanks to the sacrifices of veterans. I just wasn't aware you could earn the right to insult a stranger without the expectation of some reprisal. (albeit not a right, we do grant such allowance to the mentally impared -which rusty clearly is not- if that was your purpose in pointing out his age) .
If Jethro smacked a complete stranger alongside the head, would Jethro be justified in expressing shock and anger when the stranger responds in kind?
I like rusty. My point was: he should consider not pitching it if he's not willing to catch it.
Grass - might go back and re-read Rusty's original comment and the OP's response... then tell me who went thin-skinned. and who was telling it like it was. And don't worry - I've seen Rusty in scraps that make this little ditty look like a sunday school play. Have no fear - He's got the thickest of boilerplate for skin and the Last thing you want is a firefight with him on the other side.
Well, thanks, fellers, for the votes of confidence!
It is plain to see that some folks never learn, or refuse to learn, the rudiments of operating small (and sometimes big) Gasoline or diesel engines. Nor do they learn how to check the dip-stick/oil level. I had one customer say that he started the engine, and it went "BANG"! He said he had checked the oil several days before, but not that day. I asked him to show me his method, on one of my machines. (Mine hadn't been started that day, but was used day before.) He took out the dip-stick, didn't wipe it, looked at it, and said it had lots of oil in it! Said it looked like it had way too much oil! MMM-HMMM! I wiped the stick and told him to check it again. It was now down to the full mark.
And, thanks for defending me from the uneducated folks, who will soon learn the error of their ways, of dissing me!
Help offers will be a long time coming.
And, thanks to mownie for the pic of my favorite brewski!
That can is really old. My Cousin, who got me educated about beer and what kind to drink, would walk among tigers just to get that can, or one like it. We both owe our long life to Dave Yeungling, who managed-s the Company. by: Rusty Jones
rcbe-Yes, I re-read it a couple of times before posting. rusty's first comment about learning how to "read" a dip-stick is stating the obvious at best and belittleing and inulting at worst. It's understandable to me that the OP might think rusty was being a smart alec which the OP expressed in his reply. I didn't think the OP's reply was over the top, he expressed his offense but his comment about using a longer dip-stick also indicated that he acknowledged rusty's point and understands how a dip-stick functions.
So far no blood, no foul.
Then rusty took it to a whole new (and IMO completely uncalled for) level. rusty interjects name calling, a crude sexual referrence and a comment regarding the OP's intellegence.
I also just re-read my own comments. At best they are poorly expressed and belittleing, at worst, outright insulting and disparaging (I had to look up "dissing"--slang term originating in the 1980s).
Rather hypocritical for a pot (me) to "call out" a kettle (rusty).
rusty- I didn't write with the intent to disparage you, but obviously that is what I did, the point of my post was lost, and I can understand where you (and the others) would be justified in taking that view.
I appologize.
I appreciate the help that I have got from here.
( I have not said anything of an insulting nature to anybody)
For the last time, I CHECKED THE OIL SEVERAL TIMES, AND WIPED THE DIPSTICK EVERY TIME!!!!!
Upon pulling the motor apart there was certainly no lack of oil. And the oil was clean.
Many (including the Husqvarna mechanic) do not agrre that the float needle would have caused this.
Going by this forum, people I have rang and others I have spoken to, eliminating all possible actions, I have come to the conclusion that it was a manufacturing fault. Something must have not been quite right when I purchased it.
It seems to have happened to a lot of people, and why do they not, manufacture the 19.5hp engine anymore???
I am going to buy the 21hp unfortunately $975 AUD.
Thank god its Friday, POETS day.
Oh a customer told me he never changed his oil for 8 yrs and it still ran fine.
And Rusty, my Pop was in the navy, he passed away at 85. He knew lots of old tricks too.
My favourite was when he taught me to split a log into 8 pieces just by using 2 swings of the axe/log splitter.
We also love a beer.
To: Grass 1950: Apology accepted! I have been a trans-planted hill-billy for many years, as some of my good friends here abouts have said. I served in Army with a bunch of them, in Camp Butner, N.C. and over seas, too. When i got back home, i took to playing guitar with a Country Music bunch, and got used to talking that way. Except when visiting my Mother, who gave me stern looks if i didn't use the King's English. (american english)
Rusty Jones
Thank you.
As a first generation hill-billy transplant on my Mother's side (Dad's heritage isn't quite so stellar), it's nice to know that I can refer to a car's cubby hole and someone here will know what I'm talking about and we can worsh our hands of this unpleasantness and start fresh.
Naaahh! My mother was more like "fence post" than Emily Post.
I am "dyed in the wool" hillbilly from east Tennessee.
Nothing contrived about my roots at all.
My ancestors pronounced "ruined" as if it were spelled "rernt"..... not ruint.........rernt.
Where I live and operate my ride on, it is in the hills. So most gardens are on hills/slopes.
Do you think continued use at times on slopes caused this?
How often and long can you use a ride on, on slopes etc?? what angles etc?? cheers. I don't want this to happen again.
Well, I can't really say whether those conditions led to the ultimate destruction or not..............there are simply too many variables and unknown factors to try and guess.
All I can say for sure is that tilting an engine far enough that the oil pump intake port becomes exposed to air, certainly could hasten wear to critical parts.
The problem with sustaining even a little bit of damage at the rod journal and rod bearing is kinda like a woman being just a little bit pregnant...................neither of them is going to remain in that condition for very long.
So, looking at the photo of the rod journal on the crank I can say with confidence that the damage I see is due to insufficient lubrication, but I can't say when the initial damage was done.
Usually, if you can stay on the tractor and it does not turn over with you, you probably aren't hurting the engine, provided that it has good oil and the prescribed quantity, in the engine.
One thing an owner can do if they want to protect against running an engine with no oil pressure is to wire in an oil pressure operated kill switch that will ground the magneto if oil pressure falls dangerously low.
Pretty simple to add one of these to a magneto ignition system. The shutdown system does not utilize any "battery hot" circuits, only ground side circuits, but it DOES require having a "momentary open" switch that you have to operate manually while cranking the engine. But not a big deal to do.
I have posted a simple sketch of the low oil shut down in the past and would be glad to hit it again if requested.
Rixta - just as a reference - my engine manual (Kohler twin) sez:
" Angle of Operation
Refer to operating instructions of equipment
this engine powers. Do not operate this engine
exceeding maximum angle of operation; see
specification table. Engine damage could result
from insufficient lubrication"
My tractor manual simply states the standard (Stateside) 15 degree slope max. Prolly a bit conservative, but important in case of a warranty issue.
Your engine manual and tractor manual may have different specs...
Some operator's manuals will furthar define with time limits.
For example, my owner's manual states that to prevent damage from oil starvation that the tractor be operated at LESS than 10 min. at a 30 degree angle, but can be continuously operated at 25 degrees. This is separate from the recommended angles of operation for reasons of safety. (I'm pretty sure an attorney added the "LESS")
OK, since I haven't figured out how to post multiple images to a single post (without going through a separate host website) I combined 2 sketches into a single image.
Both sketches illustrate the same concept but maybe one or the other will convey what needs to be done to incorporate a low oil PRESSURE shut down circuit into an engine that has a pressure LUBE system.
Lest someone be somehow misled into supposing the magneto kill function (described in the sketches) can somehow be wired up to an existing OIL LAMP circuit, let me say right now "HECK NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to do that would send 12VDC current to the magneto, and that would KILL the magneto permanently (as in: Go buy a new magneto).
The oil pressure switch can be bought at auto parts stores, just make sure it is in the pressure range of 4 to 6 PSI (or whatever your local metric equivalent of that happens to be).
The momentary OPEN push button switch MUST function so that the switch provides continuity through it when the button is not being pressed down. This allows for manually over ruling the oil pressure shutdown so you can start the engine.
Once the engine is running, release the push button and the system is ready to stop spark ignition if oil pressure falls below the switch threshold limit.
Now, in operation................any drop of oil pressure that closes the oil pressure switch.............will result in the magneto being grounded, stopping the spark.
You may encounter an operating "situation" that causes the shutdown to momentarily try to kill the engine, but does not last long enough to actually stop the engine (because the oil pressure comes back up while the engine is still spinning).
If you find yourself doing things that incite this to happen.......you need to stop doing that, whatever you are doing........because that is telling you you may be operating outside of safe parameters for your engine (regarding the lubrication system).
ABOVE ALL other considerations......DO NOT think this system protects against LOW OIL LEVEL, it does not.
In all fairness, having a low oil LEVEL to begin with will increase the likelihood of having a low oil PRESSURE event during operation, but this system is not aimed to be a substitute for checking the oil level before each run of the engine, and after refilling the fuel tank if your operation requires refilling the tank before continued use.

Soooo will there even be an Outlands now? Or will there be both Draenor and Outlands???
Soooo will there even be an Outlands now? Or will there be both Draenor and Outlands???
As far as I know, Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
"Give us MONEY, Goddammit!!!" -Xbox One
Both Draenor and Outland
Yes Outlands still exists. Draenor is it's own continent
Thanks for the responses. I guess I could of looked to see the other topics started on this lol.
Nothing! Outland is the way it is, Draenor is a new place we go and Outland is gonna sit there untouched, until Blizzard decides to revamp it (which I hope is never, cuz why bother).
"Reminds me of a dog. You stare at it while it's playing outside, running around in a circle, then stopping up, wagging with a wide "grin", jumping around until you call for the dog. Then it lowers its tail because it think it's done something bad and then you throw the ball, seeing the tail go straight into the air in bliss! ^^" - Gehco
Basically we are creating an alternate timeline, one is the current timeline and the new one created by us goign trought the dark portal again....creating a new timeline where the old draenor did not get exploded in half and orcs were not corrupted yet....and it goes foward from there.
edit: basically look at the freaking zelda timeline explained...and it is basically sort of samething timey wimey stuff happening here in wow.....as a doctor who and zelda fan messing with old and creating new separate timeline is cool with me
It's called OUTLAND and not OutlandS !!! When will people fucking learn it ?! Jesus man!
If we are going to Draenor to keep our own time line in tact, then Outland will stay as is.....if we are successful.
edit: time is not linear.
Alternate Universe/Time Line.... ugh
+1 Cerus indeed!
From what I understand, Garrosh goes back in time and connects Draenor from 35 years ago to present time Azeroth via a "new" Dark Portal, so there'll be both Outland and Draenor in present time so us as players won't actually go back in time.
Same people who pronounce the "S" in Illinois or say they almost hit a bunch of "sheeps" on the way to work.
Back on topic of if we will go back to the Outlands or not please

*Jose Lopezes in the Operating Room: In May, Jose Maria Lopez, 33, had a foot amputated at Whittier (California) Hospital Medical Center. He still has two remaining; what was taken was a six-inch footlike growth inside his left ankle that has always hampered his walking and limited his shoe selection. And a few days earlier, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, surgeons removed a miniature bottle from the rectum of a Jose Lopez, 43. He said he got drunk and passed out and thus has no idea how the bottle got there.
*No More Inhumane Punishment: In May controversial Phoenix tough-guy sheriff Joe Arpaio announced he would institute bedtime stories at the Maricopa County jails, consisting of audiotapes of classic novels (e.g., Little Women) to be read at lights-out every night. The novels replace the previous bedtime fare, which ran for four years: a videotaped lecture series by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
*According to an April Tampa Tribune story, the following fates have befallen young men who in recent years have recovered the submerged, religiously blessed cross in annual diving competitions during the Epiphany festival in Tarpon Springs, Florida: One died in a car accident; one suffered a severe spinal injury; one was arrested on burglary charges; and, this year, according to police, two former winners and a third diver were charged with attempted murder for bashing two people's skulls with shovels because their car was going too slow.
*In a brawl at a recreation league softball game in Granada Hills, California, in March, which started after an umpire changed a call from safe to out, four off-duty Los Angeles police officers on one of the teams were roughed up with softball bats. Things went so bad for the officers that one ran to his car, retrieved his weapon and held the other team at bay until on-duty officers arrived.
Recurring Themes
*The Classic Middle Name (continued, and getting out of hand): Executed for murder, in Florence, Arizona, in May: Robert Wayne Vickers. Convicted of murder, in Frederick, Maryland, in March: Bruce Wayne Koenig and in Lenexa, Kansas, in May, Rodney Wayne Henry. Confessed to murder, in Fort Worth, Texas, in March: Arthur Wayne Goodman Jr. Sentenced for murder, in Prattville, Alabama, in May: Timothy Wayne Barnett. Charged with murder, in Birmingham, Alabama, in May: Percy Wayne Froman, and in Houston in April: Bradley Wayne Cagle.

Freeze dried tubifex worms
What is the deal with these things? I bought a jar of them for my relatively large black moores and I can't tell if they eat them or not. The worms are in cube-shaped blocks that float around and drop tiny bits of debris (worms?).
Are these for small fish only? Thanks for any advice.
I never liked the freeze dried tubifex & haven't used them in many years. They just seem too, well, dry. Even trying to presoak them doesn't work - they seem to stay dry for many hours, & my fish never seemed to like them at all.
These days I only feed flake food, live food, & thawed frozen food to my fish.
My spiney eels and Angels like them. Once they hydrate, Iwould often find a couple of spiney eels hanging from a cube chowing down! The rest of my fish...event he carnivorous ones...could care less...thought he violet gobies will eat them once they sink to the bottom.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
15 May 2010 07:21 GMT
But talks soon reached a stalemate and a deadline set for completing the peace deal passed on March 15 without agreement.Police convoy 'attacked'
The latest fighting came after police said 27 police officers and 30 rebels had been killed on Thursday when Jem attacked a convoy in South Darfur.
According to police, Jem fighters "attacked a convoy carrying food destined for the citizens of Darfur but the attack was thwarted by central police forces who were protecting the convoy".
But Jem said it was acting in self-defence during Thursday's fighting.
"It is completely false. Our forces were defending themselves from attack by the army which has intensified its operations since the end of elections" in Sudan on April 15, Ahmed Hussein Adam, a Jem spokesman, told the AFP news agency.The latest violence seems to have dealt a further blow to the already shaky peace talks between Jem and the government in Khartoum.
On Friday, Jem denied a UN mediator's claim that the group would resume the Qatari-brokered peace talks.
Adam said the group was actually leaning towards quitting the negotiations altogether.
"We are still suspending our participation in the negotiations, and we are closer to withdrawing from the negotiations in Qatar," he told the AFP news agency.
"We are in a true state of war after the government reneged on the ceasefire agreement."
'Ceasefire violated'
Jem has accused Sudan's military of attacking its positions last month, saying Khartoum was trying to impose a "military solution" to the conflict, which the United Nations estimates has killed 300,000 people.
Khartoum, which says 10,000 people have died since the rebels took up arms in 2003, denied that the offensive took place.
"If Jem wants to go back to war, the Sudanese army and police are all prepared and on alert to stop any offensive."
Ismail al-Haj Musa, NCP official
Ismail al-Haj Musa, a leading member of the Sudan's ruling National Congress Party, told Al Jazeera that claims that the government violated the ceasefire agreement were "absolutely untrue".
"We always hear such false allegations from Jem to justify its return to square one of war once again," he said.
"One can ask the UN and African Union observers on the ground to make sure who has first violated ceasefire. They will say that Jem has.
"If Jem wants to go back to war, the Sudanese army and police are all prepared and on alert to stop any offensive."
In another sign that peace efforts were deteriorating, Khartoum last week sought Interpol's helpin arresting Khalil Ibrahim, the Jem leader, over a 2008 attack near Khartoum that killed 220 people.
Army build-up
Unamid, a joint peacekeeping mission by the UN and the African Union, has said it has reports that Sudanese army and Jem fighters have been massing in North Darfur state's Shangil Tobay area.
Hundreds of refugees have fled a camp near El Fasher, a government stronghold and hub for aid workers and peacekeepers, as the rival forces gathered.
Approximately 70 per cent of the 2,000 people living in the New Shangil Tobay Camp had left fearing clashes, Unamid said in a statement on Wednesday.
Two international sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters there were signs Jem was moving south east through Darfur towards the neighbouring region of South Kordofan, where it has attacked oilfields in the past.
Al-Tahir al-Feki, a Jem official, confirmed the group had troops around Shangil Tobay and South Kordofan but said they were on "administrative" missions, holding talks with local leaders.
Sudan's army earlier this month accused Jem of attacking villages in West and North Darfur states to expand its territory.
Jem was one of two rebel forces that launched a revolt against Sudan's government in 2003, accusing it of starving Darfur of funding and marginalising its population.
The desert region, which is the size of France, has been gripped by a civil war since then and about 2.7 million have been displaced, according to the UN.

Can we live with the budget 'sequester'? Yes, but it's better if we don't.
Cuts would be 'across the board'
Back to the cuts: The 2011 law calls for cuts equaling about $100 billion a year, centered mostly in the discretionary portion of the federal budget. This means that some of the programs most important to Americans from day to day – Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps, and more – would not be affected. Medicare, another broad-reaching program, could see spending cuts of 2 percent under the law.
Beyond that, the cuts would essentially be "across the board," which would translate into a roughly 8 percent cut in each nondefense discretionary program next year, including air-traffic control and food-safety inspections. Military programs would face 9 percent cuts.
So there would be $100 billion in cuts each year, but compared with what benchmark of future spending? That money would be subtracted from a "baseline" that assumes federal spending grows at the rate of inflation each year.
These cuts, by themselves, aren't the kind of thing that would normally throw the economy into recession. The economy is growing at a current pace of about 2 percent a year, and $100 billion represents 0.6 percent of a year's GDP.
Still, the problem at this particular time is that the sequester is just part of a larger "fiscal cliff," which includes scheduled tax hikes next year as well. Taken together, the impact would be enough to cause a new recession unless Congress acts to reduce the cliff, forecasters say.
That's why economists generally expect Congress to take action – whether it comes late this year or as a retroactive maneuver, reducing the spending cuts and tax hikes early in the new year, after they have already started to take effect. The longer policymakers wait, however, the more the cliff's feared or real impacts could pinch economic growth.

Recent Monadnock Region Reviews
Perfect Weekend Getaway
Higher Ground exceeded our Expectations! A group of ladies got together for a quick weekend in celebration of a couple of birthdays, and a breather before one of our party began radiation treatments. It was perfect. The property is so peaceful, serene and private. The fall foliage was in full force, a treat for the eyes. We enjoyed the walk to the pond, the firepit and even the tire swing! Inside the beautifully decorated house, we found everything we needed to cook a proper pasta feast, from utensils to pretty plates and serveware. Everyone raved about the comfort of the beds, and even the sleeper sofa! It's not a big house, but it had plenty of room and definitely met all of our needs! A couple of us made use of the landline telephone, although the wifi and cell service were great, it was nice to have the other telephone as well. We would love to make it an annual visit, or come again in the summer and make use of the kayaks, fishing poles and lakeside firepit. It was a blessing of a weekend at Higher Ground! Great job owners, and the property manager that had everything in order for our visit!
Wonderful Getaway!
I stayed with my family for six nights. The house was beautiful. We felt immediately comfortable and at home. It was spacious and warm. My kids enjoyed the games and my husband and I enjoyed the books. I was a little anxious about renting a house and Rick was patient and answered all my questions several times over. The town is great too and you feel like you are in the country yet have a supermarket just a few minutes away. It was a great week. I can't wait to go back next summer!
Perfect place for our family reunion
The castle was all the we hoped for and more. The layout, particularly the living room (with grand piano) and the central staircase (with suit of armor) were fantastic--well appointed, lavishly decorated, and impeccably maintained, with plenty of books, games, and movies. The kitchen had all the amenities, including staples (we had brought our own, not knowing what to expect). We were 10 adults and 7 children. Even though it rained all weekend and we were essentially housebound, there was plenty of room for us to spread out, play, and socialize. (Ours was a family reunion, so that's how we wanted it. It was perfect for us.) We even used the jacuzzi outside and the kids had fun sliding down the hill. The bedrooms were wonderful and the playroom upstairs was great for the kids. We also got good use out of the pool table, darts, and poker table in the basement. It was extremely comfortable and everybody loved it. The owner was very gracious. He provided a one-page listing of restaurants, etc. in the area prior to our arrival. He was very appreciative of our treatment of the place (we were conscientious about cleaning) and happily and promptly refunded our deposit in full. The location, despite being just over the border from Massachusetts, is fairly remote. The property is grand, with great views. Outdoor activity is your best bet. I recommend mapping out directions very carefully in advance. We got lost despite having a navigation system, a printed Google map, and maps on an iphone. Some roads are minor or dirt, and not all systems recognize them. Once you know where you're going, it's not difficult.
