The Report - Blues 4 Sheff Wed 1
New boy Jesse Lingard made a fairytale start to his St. Andrew's loan stint with a four-goal blast to gun down the Owls.
The Old Trafford starlet completed a rapid hat-trick in the space of 13 first-half minutes and added another goal soon after the break, just for good measure. It was some way to announce his arrival in the Second City. Blues fans will be hoping that the 20-year-old sticks around for a lot longer than his initial one-month deal after this display of clinical finishing. Kamil Zayette grabbed a consolation for the visitors midway through the second-half but this was a mere blip on what was otherwise an afternoon to relish at St. Andrew's.
Lingard's inclusion was one of four changes made by Lee Clark. The hosts were also boosted by the return of fit-again David Murphy and the left-back showed that he'd lost none of his undoubted quality during his ten months on the sidelines.
Wednesday looked threatening early on with Darren Randolph making the game's first save as he dived low to his left to collect Jeremy Helan's weak effort from 20 yards. Blues began to impose themselves more, with some promising link-up play, but on a breakaway it was the visitors that created the game's next chance. Fortunately Liam Palmer miscued his shot inside the area.
With 20 minutes on the clock it was Blues that made the vital breakthrough with two of the first-game-of-the-season boys playing instrumental roles. Murphy played a delightful cross-field ball to Chris Burke wide on the right, the winger jinked inside before curling in a shot that Chris Kirkland could only palm away. Lingard was in the right place at the right time to crash the ball into the top of the net from a narrow angle.
Eight minutes later and only the fingertips of Kirkland prevented the new recruit from doubling his personal tally. Burke was fouled for a second time in the game by Owls captain Reda Johnson by the right flank. The Scot's inswinging free-kick was cleared only as far as Lingard, whose shot was tipped over by the Owls keeper.
Lingard was not to be denied moments later though as he latched onto Wade Elliott's pass and produced a clinical finish past Kirkland from the edge of the area. But the Manchester United youngster wasn't stopping there and just six minutes later completed a remarkable first-half hat-trick, taking Paul Robinson's pass in his stride before hammering an unstoppable shot into the bottom corner. It was an emphatic way to complete an incredible treble.
The Lingard show continued just six minutes after the interval but the striker's fourth goal owed much to the persistence and trickery of Burke. The winger led the Wednesday defence a merry dance before cutting the ball back to the new number nine who produced yet another clinical finish into the bottom corner.
The St. Andrew's crowd were revelling in the performance of the former Leicester City loanee, who was happy to play up to the crowd, producing a delightful back-heel to tee up Robinson and then waving to the fans in the Tilton Road as they joyfully sang his name.
Zayette reduced the deficit to three with a close-range header as the game really opened up in the final quarter with chances at either end. The impressive Adeyemi fired a shot just wide while Randolph tipped Jermaine Johnson's curler over the crossbar. Substitute Shane Ferguson then bore down on goal wide on the left but sliced his shot well wide.
This was just the fillip Blues needed to lift the spirits of players and fans alike after the midweek disappointment at Turf Moor. And there was no doubt who would be striding away with the man-of-the-match champagne tucked under his arm.

text: Finding the best electric shavers for this report is a little bit of a challenge as the nature of your face and facial hair can play a large role in influencing which type and model of electric shaver will leave you most satisfied. Still, we found good hands-on testing -- often over long periods of time -- at several sites, including ConsumerReports.org, TheSweethome.com, TopTenReviews.com and elsewhere. In addition, we turned to retail sites that allow users to post reviews of products they own, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and BestBuy.com. While some electric razors get only minimal feedback, others draw hundreds -- and in some cases thousands -- of user reviews, and that helps fill in the gaps regarding shaver reliability and the long term satisfaction of users. We consider both user feedback and expert testing in our analysis, and the result is the best reviewed electric shavers for any face and any budget.

1 World x 1 Love x 1 Mic…
It is often the artists from the most disenfranchised, impoverished nations that can speak to the true nature of Hip-Hop. To combine all music, art, culture and people into one is the essence of Hip-Hop. With the use of the drum and the voice.
A few weeks ago when J.Period was working on the Bring Your Own Blogger BBQ mixtapes he told me of this project to combine the sound of K'Naan with some of the world's most respected musical messengers. K'Naan hails from Mogadishu, Somalia. A region that has been embroiled in violent conflict for the past two decades. So many rappers fantasize about their communities as warzones but few have survived in one and even less speak of the peace, justice and love that our world needs right now.
With this idea in mind J.Period and K'Naan began crafting this project. A mashup mixtape with music honoring the great FELA KUTI, BOB DYLAN and BOB MARLEY. The project sounded too monumental from the outset. I'm glad J.Period was able to pull it off.
The full 3-part project is set to be released on September 1st over at J.Period's website. Here's a preview of what J.Period is calling 'The Messengers' featuring K'Naan in tribute to FELA KUTI, BOB DYLAN and BOB MARLEY.
'Let's Start' (Fela Kuti Tribute)
'Relationship's Lay' (Bob Dylan tribute)
'Belly Full' featuring Kardinal Offishall, Steele and Bajah + Dry Eye Crew (Bob Marley tribute)

Emergency alert
Over 20 million people in South Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, and Nigeria are on the brink of famine. Your help is urgently needed to respond to these crises and others around the world.Donate now
The context
Mercy Corps has worked in Somalia since 2005. Despite Somalia's reputation of instability, the northern parts of Somalia are relatively calm and functioning. Still, more than two decades of civil strife and extremism have resulted in a group of people who have been displaced from their homes for years and are dependent on government and humanitarian interventions.
Somalia is now at the risk of famine. The number of people in need of assistance has increased from 5 million in September 2015 to over 6.2 million in February 2017 — more than half of the country's population. Drought, flooding and ongoing conflict threaten the food security of people who are already living in a precarious economic situation. If drought conditions worse, hundreds of thousands of children will be at risk of starvation.
Get the quick facts about famine ▸
While some people are now choosing to return to their homes after years of displacement, they still face challenges. Poor weather conditions and other stresses threaten the stability of entire communities, and continue to make families vulnerable to food insecurity and loss of livelihoods.
Our work
- Emergency response: Distributing food and clean water to displaced and returnee families.
- Conflict & Governance: Providing technical assistance to help build local governments' capacity and accountability.
- Economic opportunity: Providing training, cash assistance and livelihood support to restore incomes and strengthen local economy.
- Children & Youth: Increasing education, economic and civic participation opportunities for youth to reduce instability.
- Women & Gender: Promoting equitable opportunities and garnering community support for girls and women to attend school.

Re: Version 7 Virtual Book

Has anybody tweaked the code that creates a "virtual book" from the

Yes, I know that Mathematica now includes a "Virtual Book". But that
does not follow the order of the printed Version 5 "The Mathematica
Book". And I know that WRI now offers the printed and electronic
"Tutorial Collection".
When Mathematica 6 was released, Thomas Muench (and several others)
posted code that would create a such a Version 5-like "virtual book";
his version appears at:
That's the sort of virtual book I mean here.

Posted 19 May 2010
The IRS recently released guidance on the new Small Business Health Care Tax Credit which passed under the Affordable Care Act approved by Congress in March and signed into law by President Obama. The guidance is intended to make it easier for small businesses to determine whether they are eligible for the new health care tax credit and how large a credit they will receive. IRS Notice 2010-44 provides guidance on the credit, including guidance for determining eligibility for the credit, calculating the credit and claiming the credit.
The small business health care tax credit, which is in effect this year, is designed to encourage small employers to offer health insurance coverage for the first time or maintain coverage they already have. The credit is available to small employers that pay at least half the cost of single coverage for their employees in 2010. The credit is specifically targeted to help small businesses and tax-exempt organizations that primarily employ moderate- and lower-income workers. Small businesses receiving state health care tax credits may still qualify for the full federal tax credit. Small businesses are permitted to receive the credit not only for regular health insurance but also for add-on dental and vision coverage. For tax years 2010 to 2013, the maximum credit is 35% of premiums paid by eligible small business employers and 25% of premiums paid by eligible employers that are tax-exempt organizations.
The maximum credit goes to smaller employers — those with 10 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees — paying annual average wages of $25,000 or less. The credit is completely phased out for employers that have 25 FTEs or more or that pay average wages of $50,000 per year or more. Because the eligibility rules are based in part on the number of FTEs, not the number of employees, businesses that use part-time help may qualify even if they employ more than 25 individuals. Eligible small businesses can claim the credit as part of the general business credit starting with the 2010 income tax return they file in 2011. For tax-exempt organizations, the IRS will provide further information on how to claim the credit.
More information about the credit, including a step-by-step guide and answers to frequently asked questions, is available on the Affordable Care Act page on the IRS website. IRS Notice 2010-44 is posted on www.IRS.gov and provides detailed guidelines, illustrated by more than a dozen examples, to help small employers determine whether they qualify for the credit and estimate the amount of the credit.

Lea Michele
Lea Michele (born August 29, 1986) is an American stage and television actress and singer, who is known for her roles in Broadway musicals, particularly for her starring role as Wendla in Spring Awakening. Lea currently stars in Glee as Rachel Berry.
The 2015 Golden Globes was quite the exciting event, and afterwards some of the hottest celebrities in the house showed up at the 2015 InStyle & Warner Bros post-show party.
Lovely ladies like Alessandra Ambrosio, Cara Delevingne and Emily Ratajkowski all turned heads in their stunning ensembles as they made their way to the exclusive bash.
The camera definitely loves her, and Lea Michele was posing up a storm on New Year's Day in Mexico.
The 28-year-old singer/actress posted a smattering of snapshots via Instagram including one of her standing in the distance wearing only a bikini bottom. Lea captioned the shot, "Let's do this 2015," indicating that she's ready for another crazy year of fun, romance and whatever else the world throws at her.
Stepping out for a swanky evening, Gwyneth Paltrow hosted the amfAR LA Inspiration Gala Honoring Tom Ford in Hollywood last night (October 29).
The "Sliding Doors" starlet rubbed shoulders with the likes of Kelly Osbourne, January Jones, Ashlee Simpson, Evan Ross, Camilla Belle and Dita Von Teese as she made her rounds at Milk Studios.
She's been very careful about moving too fast with her new boyfriend Matthew Paetz, and finally Lea Michele added a photograph of his shadow to her Instagram account.
The "Brunette Ambition" babe captioned the image, "To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides," indicating that she's in love with her handsome beau.
He's quite prolific in the entertainment industry these days and last night (October 5) creator Ryan Murphy invited his pals from the "Glee" cast to attend the premiere of his new season of "American Horror Story: Freak Show."
The TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood was replete with beautiful people such as Lea Michele, Chord Overstreet, and Becca Tobin.
Proving that theirs is more than a summer love, Lea Michele and Matthew Paetz are reportedly now cohabitating.
According to E! News, the "Glee" starlet invited her handsome beau to move into her Los Angeles home over the weekend, though "it's been a little while" since they started basically living together.
Making the most of a beautiful afternoon, Lea Michele went for a fun-filled hike with a gal pal in Beverly Hills on Sunday (August 17).
The "Cannonball" cutie wore a purple tank top with black spandex pants as she chatted with her friend and worked up a sweat during the outing.
The couple that plays together stays together, and Lea Michele definitely looked smitten with her boyfriend Matthew Paetz while out and about in Los Angeles yesterday (August 13).
The "Brunette Ambition" babe took her handsome beau to the outskirts of the city for a little trail hiking and they couldn't have looked happier together.
His concerts are already legendary and Justin Timberlake drew a couple of "Glee" girls last night (August 12) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Lea Michele and her boyfriend Matthew Paetz showed up at the sold-out shindig, holding hands and looking very much in love.
The competition inside the Shrine Auditorium for the 2014 Teen Choice Awards was just as fierce as the red carpet arrivals area contest outside to see who looked the hottest last night (August 10).
Gorgeous "Glee" gal Lea Michele showed up in a fabulous Fausto Puglisi dress with Christian Louboutin heels while "Vampire Diaries" vixen Nina Dobrev looked colorful in a Vionnet top and shorts with a Michael Kors gold clutch and shoes by Kurt Geiger.

Steering Wheel Installation
So I tore my steering wheel off. I couldn't believe it, but when I spilled my coffee and pulled myself off the seat using the bottom of the wheel, the steering wheel bent upward. I'm a pretty thin guy with less than impressive muscular development, so I'm guessing the design was created to collapse if my head hit the wheel during an accident.
No matter.
I found a new steering wheel and a new hub and want to get these things on, but I'm a little afraid of that nut that hold the hub in place. My understanding is that it takes a special tool, and if I screw it up, I could be looking at a very, very serious problem.
So I'm wondering if anyone has some advice on doing this right, or if anyone thinks this job should go to my mechanic.

A glimpse at some of the fascinating projects
Thalia Goldstein, PhD
HOW MAKE-BELIEVE HELP S US UNDERSTAND THE REAL WORLD Dyson Psychology Professor Thalia Goldstein, PhD, investigates the intersection of fantasy and reality in children and adolescents. A PERFORMER FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE, Dyson Professor of Psychology Thalia Goldstein, PhD, was involved in theater and dance all through her childhood. When she got to college, she double-majored in Psychology and Theater. After college she moved to New York to pursue a career on the stage, putting psychology aside for a time. "I was a waitress and a tutor and a nanny—I did a whole bunch of odd jobs while I was trying to be an actress. I had a little bit of success, and after a while, I decided that I really missed psychology and thinking about science. I missed academia," says Goldstein. She became a lab manager at NYU and after a year, began work on her PhD at Boston College. In the years since, Goldstein has been able to combine her passion for performance with her love of psychology. She began her research on the effects of acting on children and adolescents at Boston College, then won a National Science Foundation fellowship to become a post-doctoral scholar at Yale. "I was focused on figuring out what are the intersections between being engaged in fiction and pretend and acting and role play and understanding other people, understanding emotions and personality and characteristics, and all the things that make us human," she explains. At Pace, Goldstein founded the Social Cognition and Imagination (SCI) Lab. With the help of her research team—which includes several graduate and undergraduate students—she 34
in progress at Pace
looks at how acting and pretend-play might help with the development of empathy, compassion, and altruism in children and adolescents. She recently received a grant from the John Templeton Foundation to conduct a large scale, longitudinal study on four-year-olds and how role play helps with their social and psychological development. She's also researching how children learn to understand the pretend-reality boundary, using short video clips of an actor pretending to respond to various kinds of events. "Threeand four-year-old kids seem to think that even if you're pretending to be a character (and we do tell them it's pretend) who is sad or has just hurt their knee, then you really are sad and really do have an injured knee," Goldstein says. "By the time the kids turn five, they are able to determine the realness of a physical characteristic—for instance, if an actor gets beat up, they know that that's pretend. However, they do still have trouble determining if an actor is really sad if they are crying." But it isn't just kids who have trouble distinguishing reality from illusion. It may be part of the reason we go to the movies or watch television. Even though we know what we are seeing is not real, we have emotional reactions. "We want to be moved, we want to have an emotional reaction," she says. This could be why actors who play doctors, like Hugh Laurie of House, receive fan mail seeking referrals or diagnoses, or why soap opera actors are often questioned about why their characters did something or other on the show. In the future, Goldstein plans to expand her research to include personality traits, knowledge, skills, and less-temporary characteristics, such as shyness.

Gun Dog Breeder Reviews for Midwest Dream
Testimonials (11) | Back to Midwest Dream
Submitted by: Julian Crews on Apr 02, 2012Having owned two Weimaraners before (growing up as a child and again as an
adult), I'm very picky when it comes to finding the right dog.
Being a Chicago TV news reporter and knowing the pitfalls of not finding a
reputable breeder, I did my homework, researching local breeders and talking
to folks to get the "real story. The last thing you want are the health
problems associated with "puppy mill" breeders looking to make a quick buck.
After researching on line and visiting various breeders near the Chicago
area, we found the place we were looking for - Midwest Dreams.
When you meet Rhonda at Midwest Dreams, it's immediately apparent that this
is a woman who loves her beautiful dogs. And she has the ethics and passion
that it takes to breed as fine a Weimaraner as you'll find anywhere.
It took us just over three hours drive-time to reach Mechanicsville, Iowa,
home of Midwest Dreams. But the effort was well worth it.
I'm not a hunter and living in a densely populated suburban Chicago
community, our goal was NOT to find a gundog but to bring home a healthy,
happy, well-mannered Weimeraner pup to fit into our family's busy lifestyle.
Bottom line - we wanted a family dog for my kids to enjoy (ages 11 and 13).
The decision to own a Weimaraner comes with an important time committment -
we explained this to our kids. Everybody has to be ready to pitch in.
And the experience has been more than we could have hoped for. With the
whole family helping out with frequent trips outside to "potty" and
exercise, the crate-trianing has worked remarkably well.
Rhonda even provides you with a complimentary Midwest Dreams "Guide" to help
you understand how to successfully care and train your dog in the early
stages when you bring him home. And she offered us numerous tips that have
served us well.
I knew that with the right training and vigorous exercise that they require
(with lots of love) that this magnificent breed makes the loyalist of
But it starts with a happy and healthy dog and the right breeder. And I'm
happy to say that Midwest Dreams fits the bill.
In so many ways, our male Weimaraner puppy from Midwest Dreams has exceeded
expectations to quickly become a member of our "pack." And we have Rhonda
and Midwest Dreams to thank.

Submitted by: Peggy & Bryan on Feb 13, 2012We board our first 'child', a yellow lab "Honey", with Ron and Rhonda Grimm of Midwest Dream anytime we are going to be out of town and Honey is unable to tag along. She not only has SO MUCH FUN running with the other dogs during playtime, she has fallen in love with the both of them! Ask her if she wants to go to the farm, and she is amped up, ready to go play. We have had issues with Honey's ears in the past, we let the Grimm's know this durning Honey's initial visit. That didn't phase the Grimm's one bit, she was able to romp, play and swim and they were sure to dry out her ears each time, no infections!!! We get plenty of pictures of Honey while we are gone as well. She is a very happy dog while in their care and we could not ask for any better. Honey's health and well being is their top priority, she is treated just like one of the family. So VERY GRATEFUL to have an amazing breeder to board our baby with!!
Submitted by: Mike Bonnstetter on Oct 26, 2010I have a pup named Teilo who is about 20 months old, he is a great hunter and with my lack of skills in training him has all been natural. He is a big solid pup who points well and has a great nose. I have seen him in the middle of a leap catch a scent turn and lock-up before hitting the ground. I am very happy with my hunting buddy and he walks me eveyday and helps me stay in shape for our next hunting trip!
Submitted by: Jon Stigler on Sep 29, 2010Midwest Dream(MD) was very professional and thorough when it came to purchasing our Weimaraner . His name is Keyser and his 1.5years old and he is a wonderful dog. He is beautiful, has a great nose, loves to run and is very fast. MD was very selective about who could buy their dogs and wanted to make sure that the dog was going to a good home. Dealing with MD was a great experience and I plan to buy any future dog from them as well
Submitted by: Katie on Sep 28, 2010I purchased a Weimaraner puppy from Rhonda Sept. 2007. Rhonda has been there as a breeder every step of the way to assist with any questions, offer suggestions for training, and stands behind her puppies no matter what. Her dogs are genetically strong in intelligence, health, hunt drive, and beauty. Their disposition is friendly and confident. Our Weimaraner passed his AKC Jr. Hunt Test easily at 1 year, and is now steady to wing and shot. His natural honor was easy to train for consistency. We have just started running him for AKC Senior Hunter. I would highly recommend working with Rhonda for your future Weimaraner (or Vizsla) puppy. She is a very conscientious and ethical breeder.
Submitted by: Jen and Jeremy Ballard on Sep 28, 2010The entire process her of getting to know Rhonda and her family and their dogs was a pleasure! Rhonda was always readily available to answer our questions as we tried to decide which breed to go with...and, even more impressive, she has stayed in touch with us and is truly interested in how our weim is doing. Tank has been a wonderful companion and hunting buddy and we wouldn't trade him for anything...

Submitted by: Brendan on Sep 27, 2010I purchased a weim from Rhonda 3 years ago. I had never owned a weim before and she was very helpful informing about the breed and whether it would be a good choice for me. It was obvious to me that she cares deeply about them and who her dogs go to.
I was looking for a good family and hunting dog and got exactly that. She has been a great addition to the family and is great with my kids. When it came to hunting she had alot of natural instincts and took very little training!
Been very happy with my experience with Midwest Dreams!
Submitted by: mark irwin on Sep 26, 2010Rhonda and Ron run a first class operation I bought my puppy from them 1.5yrs ago.I could not be prouder to have bought a weimeraner from them.Rhonda was very helpful in the selection of my female.she put together a folder that had all the info i needed,and any questions concerns i had Rhonda was right there to help me out.thanks Rhonda and Ron at MIDWEST DREAM you two are awesome breeders. Mark Irwin
Submitted by: Joe Whitmarsh on Sep 25, 2010I purchased Lacey 18 months ago from Midwest Dream. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. She is a great companion dog for our child and is a loyal and playful member now of our family. We have had no health issues at all outside of the normal upkeep that I expected. Her temperament is exactly what I expected after researching various breeds. She is well rounded, friendly with our friends and very social with other dogs. I take her to dog parks almost daily and she plays well with others. Rhonda did provide us with a lot of information regarding the Weimaraner breed and we followed her instructions. She did recommend a puppy type socializing class which I believe helped Lacey tremendously. As a breeder I found them to be honest and caring about their breed. I would purchase from them again and I would recommend them to someone looking for this breed.
Submitted by: Karen Watson on Sep 24, 2010I just have to tell you how much I enjoy our Remi she is so smart and willing to learn we have completed Obedience 1 and have now joined Loose Leash Walking, then will be moving on to Obedience 2. She is very well behaved I cant believe the number of people who thought because she is a Weim that she would just be naughty and not listen ( including our neighbor who fosters dogs, she told us good luck training her) If you have the right treat, you have her total attention. We have received many compliments on her appearance she has recently just started to fill out a bit.
Thanks again for breeding such wonderful pups!

I can get the following engine from rlackey, in return for some welding work. Although it came from his '54 Belair it does seem to have the two valve cover studs you mention and not the slotted screws around the rim of the valve cover. Does this alone mean it's not the 'full oil pressure' motor or are there other things I should look at too like maybe casting numbers etc. You see here in S.A. it's possible they still had old stock on motors and used that instead of sticking with correct specs.
The '52 I want to put the motor into has got a factory fitted dash from a '50 and that's why I'm now wondering how to make sure.
Does the rocker arms look different if it has mechanical lifters?
How drivable is this combo of mods, apart from using the 2004R OD?
What kind of power does this combo make?
the '50-'52 235's were basicly the same as the 216 but has got a bigger bore and uses a little bit bigger carb. The engine you have a picture of is ither a 216 or a '50-'52 235 ( even tho the '53 engines are not full preassure oiling, but there not babbit bearing where the bearings are poured cast in the motor which the '50-'52's were ) the top attaching Valve cover with the 2 nuts on top. To tell if it is a 216 or 235 you can run the casting numbers found right to the left of the fuel pump and slightly below, or if it is original to the car, and it has a powerglide trans than it is a 235 any other way, it is a 216, cause the 235 was never offered with a 3 spd and the powerglide was never offered with the 216. stock early 235's are 6.6 to 1 comp ratio, you could probably go to 8 to 1 without a problem by shaving the head.

The murders at the Sawh residence remain unsolved
Two weeks ago, Mr Bob Persaud, the brother-in-law of the late Mr Satyadeow Sawh suggested that self-confessed drug lord Mr Roger Khan could have answers on the murder of Sawh, two of his siblings and a security guard in 2006. Mr Persaud has canvassed the Canadian government for assistance in accessing Mr Khan in his US prison cell for pointed questioning.
Mr Persaud is the first relative of Mr Sawh to openly raise the possibility that the government's carefully scripted explanation of the killing of Mr Sawh might not be accurate. Mr Persaud has touched on a theory that has been in circulation for some time now but one which has not been adequately probed as the government was disinterested for reasons of self-preservation.
Since, Mr Persaud's views were reported in the Sunday Stabroek both Minister of Home Affairs, Mr Clement Rohee and Police Commissioner Mr Henry Greene have sought to dismiss the possibility that Mr Khan's infamous Phantom Squad might have had anything to do with Mr Sawh's murder. Mr Greene was adamant that it was Fineman's gang. Mr Rohee's position is that he is not aware of any evidence of the involvement of Mr Khan's gang. Of course, the absence of evidence and Mr Greene's stubborn insistence on Fineman's involvement do not negate the possibility that Mr Khan's gang might have had a hand in the killings particularly in the backdrop of the police force's woeful inability to properly investigate crimes of this type.
The first dissonant feature of the murders relative to the supposition that Fineman's gang was involved was the military-style precision of the attack. The attackers were well-outfitted and operated in the manner of clinical, well-rehearsed assassins. It was not the modus operandi of the Fineman depredations. Indeed, when he finally met his end, Fineman, though apparently planning a strike to gather arms, was not accoutred in the manner that accorded with the murders at the Sawh's residence.
Second, the sheer savagery of the attack had a message to it. After killing the guard, a woman, Mr Persaud's wife, was pulled from under a bed and shot to death. The Minister himself was fatally shot and two of his siblings put to lie on top of each other and shot. Luckily one survived. Though there had been a suggestion that money was demanded it is clear that that was not the motive and not much effort was made to look for anything of value. The primary motive had been to kill Minister Sawh and his family.
Why this mission would be undertaken by Fineman remains a mystery up to today. Why would Minister Sawh of all persons be targeted? There is no reason or logic to it. There is however greater reason and logic to another theory even if there is no evidence to support it at the moment. Mr Khan had initially been assured that he would be granted a Timber Sales Agreement for a forestry concession in the south of the country. After pressure was applied by the US as a result of its concerns that Mr Khan was a known drug trafficker and after the matter was reported in the press, clumsy efforts were made to interdict the conferral of the lease to Mr Khan.
Considering the code of violence that governed his nefarious drug trade it would not be beyond reason that Mr Khan might have felt betrayed by the withdrawal of the concession and that elements of the Phantom Squad became involved in the brutal murder of Minister Sawh, who held the portfolio for forestry, and the others so as to send the message that goes with the trade. The timeline of the events are consistent with this possibility.
Such a sequence of events would be a veritable case of Mr Khan's group turning on an important member of the government he said he helped to fight the prison-break criminals after 2002.
The killing of Minister Sawh is one in a brutal series of events that the Jagdeo administration has steadfastly refused to properly investigate because of the likelihood of what might be exposed. Instead the police are left to come up with postulates that never sound plausible and never lead to satisfactory results. Ironically in the Sawh case, the accused that were apprehended died and the others who supposedly were involved have not yet been snared.
As was pointed out in yesterday's news item the government and its criminal justice system did not make use of the mechanisms which possibly could lead to some answers or at least the shaping of the case i.e. an inquest or a commission of inquiry. In the hours after the murders there appeared no concerted effort to track down the killers or to elicit expert assistance from nearby to investigate. Was that the natural reaction of a government shocked to the core by the murder of one of its most popular and influential ministers? No, it was not.
There appears to be no prospect for an adequate investigation of the murders at the Sawh residence in what remains of the life of this administration. It however will have to be high on the agenda of the next administration along with the prison break, the violence on the East Coast, the murders of hundreds of men by both sides, the role of Mr Khan and the drug business and the Lusignan, Bartica and Lindo massacres just to name a few. Understanding these events and unearthing the truth behind them is important for moving on with reconciliations on many fronts.

Hello Dogsters! Still love my new home. Barney and I are tight now. We play all day long.
I haven't been to see the horses yet. Mom wants to make sure I obey before she takes me out to run around. She has taken Zack and me jogging though. It is so fun. Zack says he used to go every morning but he started getting sore. Mom is out of shape so she can't go very far or fast right now so we are helping her get started.
We got a new sister, at least for a little while. She is a very tiny little kitten. She is only two weeks old and her mother got killed. That's so sad! Anyway, a bunch of people are taking care of the five babies until they can go to homes. It is going to be hard because so many people have babies right now. I don't know why people don't take care of the grown ups so more babies don't have to suffer. Mom is doing the best she can. Zack is in love with her. When it grows up a little more mom said he could sleep with her.
Dad gave me a bath yesterday. I was very good for him. Now I smell like apple Suave.
Zack and I are trying really hard to help mom type this diary. I don't know why she won't let us help.
We have the kitten here with us. She is sound asleep so we are all sitting around smelling her through the holes. I think Marino and Otis would try to eat her. Zack just wants to lick her fur off. I don't pay much attention. Not even when she cries for her bottle. I don't like fresh cat, only fresh chicken.
Well Dogster, I have to go for now. Mom says it's time for dinner. Yippee!
Hello there. My name is Sebastian (formerly known as Shadow).
Once upon a time I had a home with a horse, other poodles, shelties and chickens and I loved them all. Unfortunately for me (or maybe fortunately) I loved the chickens too much. Yep that's right. I LOVE raw chicken. It didn't matter if it was mine or the neighbors I would figure out a way to get it. Well, I guess it isn't a good idea to kill your own chickens. You have to go the the store or something.
Anyway, I got a new home and what a good home it is. I have a bunch of new brothers and a sister dogs and three sister cats. No chickens here though. I'm glad I got to come here. I really love my new mom. She just loves me.
My standard poodle brother, Zack, says we have horses too, they just don't live here. He says mom will take us big guys out to see them. I can't wait.
I have been here at my new home for two weeks now and am getting along fabulously. My first week was kinda hard. I went to the groomer and then I had to go to the vet and get a bunch of shots which I did not enjoy. Then I started hearing this talk about being fixed. I couldn't figure out what was broken. Barney just laughed. When I came home I wasn't FIXED. I was totally messed up! I can't believe nobody told me what they were going to do to me. There should be a law against this. Well, I am feeling better now. I keep trying to fix it but mom tells me no and puts a cone on my head. Zack said not to worry. They've all had it.
I love to play with Barney. He says Zack won't play with hin so he has to play with Otis. Otis is little so he can't play like a maniac but we sure can. YEAH!!
I love my new life. I'll keep you posted out there in Dogsterland.

Refinish doors in fifties house
Bought a 1955 fixer-upper almost 2 years ago. I want to refinish 5 old interior doors that have the original stain and varnish on them. I would like to sand them and use some kind of semi-transparent dark golden oak color glaze. I am hoping for something kind of simple and one step. I keep checking the web with different combinations of words but must be dreaming there is such a thing. Has anyone found a product like this? I know when I went to a local paint store for a green glaze for my new front door I got looks like I was crazy, and left with a green stain and polyurethane varnish.
they make one-step stain/varnish combinations in many brands, opaque and transparent. may i suggest an Ace Hardware (better service, more experience than most bigbox stores) to assist you finding the right colors? but what do i know? i'm just a mouse.....
welcome to the forums!
Thanks, Dangermouse! I'm heading there right now!

by Dr. Laci Schaible April 1, 2013
A wise professor of mine from vet school once said, "75% of what we think we know now will be proven wrong in 10 years." Now, a recent study about the benefits and risks of early versus late spay and neuter begs us to examine our recommendations about when to spay and neuter our pets. Have we been wrong all along?
During puppy and kitten wellness exams, there comes a point where many veterinarians shift to auto-pilot as we describe the reasons for spay and neuter at or around five to six months of age (being a veterinarian myself, I can and do admit this; we are only human after all). The questions surrounding spay and neuter haven't changed much over the years and they are fairly predictable. Will the surgery make my pet fat? Will it change my pet's behavior? Is anesthesia safe? When should we schedule the surgery? These answers are all easy enough. Or so we thought.
The spay and neuter movement, of course, began as a means to help control pet overpopulation. Along the way, we discovered numerous health benefits the surgery provided to our pets. However, at the beginning of 2013, a new study came out that raises some tough questions about when is the best time to spay and neuter our pets.
This is the first study that examined the effects of neutering on a number of joint disorders and cancers in the same breed of dog (Golden Retriever). The study also compared intact dogs versus those neutered less than one year of age (early neutering) and those animals neutered after one year of age. While this study is a step in the right direction and the most comprehensive of its kind, this study can't automatically be applied to all other breeds. We must remember this study was performed on Golden Retrievers.
So what did the study conclude? Five diseases were analyzed: hip dysplasia (HD), cranial cruciate ligament tear (CCL), lymphosarcoma (LSA), hemangiosarcoma (HSA), and mast cell tumor (MCT). For all five diseases analyzed in the study, the disease rates in males and/or females were significantly increased when neutering was performed early and/or late. For females, the timing of spaying is less clear. Early spaying significantly increases the incidence rate of cranial cruciate injury and late spaying increases the rates of HSA four times that of intact females as concluded by the study. With this said, spaying female dogs before their first heat cycle still has tremendous health benefits by protecting against other diseases such as pyometra and mammary cancer, so this should not be ignored. Neutering males, or at least Golden Retrievers, well beyond puberty seems to avoid the problems of increased rates of occurrence of HD, CCL, and LSA that all occur at increased incidence with early neutering.
Previous studies have concluded other health disadvantages from early spay/neuter. A 2004 study from Cornell University concluded that both male and female dogs sterilized at an early age were more prone to hip dysplasia. We have known since 2001 that early spay/neuter is commonly associated with urinary incontinence in female dogs and increased incidence of urethral sphincter incontinence in males but it simply isn't something that many vets discuss. Is it because it seemed such a minor health concern compared to the health risks that never spaying or neutering can set a pet up for? These studies have largely been ignored, or at least have not played a large part in veterinarians' spay/neuter recommendations, but the most recent study has grabbed a number of veterinarians' attention.
So what's a pet parent to do? As for my own 11.5 month old large breed male dog, he is still intact, but not for long. With two veterinarians as his pet parents, we had planned on waiting until he was at least 1.5 years, but the constant marking and testosterone-driven behavior (to put it nicely) have him scheduled for testicle removal later this month. For all of us to happily coexist, he must be neutered and it will not come a day too soon. Living with an intact dog—male or female—is rarely easy and it's up to you as the pet parent to speak up when you have reached your threshold.
Clearly, there are health advantages to waiting until after puberty to spay or neuter your dog, however, there are also significant risks associated with owning a sexually intact pet. The studies have simply not been conducted for felines. This is yet another instance where you, as your pet's advocate, play an important role in his or her medical decisions.
While much is unclear, it's time that we as veterinarians start discussing this new found and pertinent information with our clients. What we believe will likely change again, but sharing the most accurate and current information with pet parents is the best plan we currently have to navigate the abstruse options of when to spay and neuter our pets.

Gator Baseball Wins SEC Opener
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida freshman right-hander Logan Shore (Coon Rapids, Minn.) (1-1) allowed one run over 6.1 innings and sophomore Aaron Rhodes (Venice, Fla.) registered a career-high six strikeouts and retired all seven Arkansas hitters that he faced in a 2-1 Gator victory on Friday night in the SEC opener for both squads. In winning its sixth-consecutive game, UF improved to 6-1 (.857) underKevin O'Sullivan in league openers.
The Gators grabbed a 1-0 lead in the opening frame against junior left-hander Jalen Beeks (3-2) on an RBI grounder by freshman Peter Alonso (Tampa, Fla.). Sophomore Richie Martin (Brandon, Fla.) had led off with a single into right field, was sacrificed to second by junior Casey Turgeon (Palm Harbor, Fla.) and went to third on a balk before scoring on Alonso's ground ball to third base.
Arkansas answered in the second inning with a two-out RBI single by freshman Clark Eagan. Redshirt junior Eric Fisher had drawn a one-out walk from Shore, swiped second base and came home on Eagan's single into left field. However, Eagan was thrown out at second base trying to stretch his hit into a double by junior Justin Shafer (Lake Wales, Fla.).
The Hogs loaded the bases with two down in the third but Shore retired junior Krisjion Wilkerson on a comebacker to the mound. Florida seized a 2-1 advantage in the bottom of the frame on an RBI grounder by Turgeon. Freshman John Sternagel (Rockledge, Fla.) had started things off with a base-hit into left field and freshman Buddy Reed (Finksburg, Md.) blooped a double into shallow center field. With one out, Turgeon plated Sternagel with a grounder to shortstop.
Florida filled the bags in the fourth on a single by Braden Mattson (San Antonio, Texas) (2-for-4) and walks to Shafer and Sternagel. However, Beeks kept UA's deficit at 2-1 with an inning-ending strikeout.
In the fifth, a two-out single by Alonso and a double by junior Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.) (2-for-4) ended the night for Beeks (4.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 3 K). Freshman Zach Jackson kept the Gators scoreless with an inning-ending strikeout.
Arkansas threatened in the seventh, as senior Jake Wise (2-for-4) and sophomore Bobby Wernes (2-for-3) had consecutive one-out singles to prompt a pitching change. Junior Bobby Poyner (Wellington, Fla.) came in for Shore (6.1 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 5 K, 2 BB) and a fielder's choice by freshman Andrew Benintendi gave the Hogs a pair of runners in scoring position. Rhodes preserved the Gators' lead with a strikeout of junior Brian Anderson and proceeded to strike out the side in the eighth. Rhodes nailed down his second save with a clean ninth that featured two strikeouts.
Postgame Quotes
Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan
On today's SEC-opening win:
"I thought this was probably the best game we've played all year. The dugout was outstanding, and from the first to the last pitch of the game we got a really, really good start from Logan Shore. That might have been the best start we've had in a couple of years, and for him to be a freshman and do that against a really good Arkansas team, it shows a lot of poise and it shows a lot of maturity. Bobby Poyner came in and did his job, left on left. And, what can you say about the job Aaron Rhodes did? He struck out six of the seven guys he faced. The pitching was outstanding."
"I know we only scored two runs but I thought the at-bats were outstanding tonight. We knocked a Friday night starter out in the fifth inning. We knew that we were in for a tough ballgame with (Arkansas starting pitcher Jalen) Beeks - he's a veteran, he's a junior, and he's pitched in this league. Then, we faced another freshman - Zach Jackson and he's 92 to 95, with a good breaking ball and showed a changeup, and I thought our bats there were good."
"Overall, the at-bats were very competitive tonight against really good pitching. So, from a pitching standpoint, an offensive standpoint, and a defensive standpoint, we played about as clean a game as we have all year."
Junior catcher Taylor Gushue
On getting the win tonight:
"It was good to get the first one like this. It was a tight game, but the pitchers threw unbelievably well. It's all we can ask of those guys. We'll come back tomorrow and hopefully get the series win."
On sophomore pitcher Aaron Rhodes:
"He was on his game tonight. From start to finish, he was aggressive and throwing everything for strikes. That was pretty much unhittable stuff."
On freshman pitcher Logan Shore:
"I think the strikeouts might have boosted his confidence a little bit and pushed him further into the game. He just carved it up tonight. He did such a good job. For a freshman to come out in his first SEC game and carve it up like that is unbelievable. It was all working tonight. Any pitcher that has all his stuff working is usually pretty hard to hit, so it was good."
Sophomore right-hander Aaron Rhodes
On his pitching tonight:
"I felt really good. I had a lot of adrenaline. Sully told me just to come in, and the plan tonight for every hitter was to spin it for a strike. I fell behind one guy I think on a slider, but I came right back with it and eventually got him."
On the play of John Sternagel and Buddy Reed:
"Everyone needs to contribute, and John Sternagel and Buddy Reed did exactly what they needed to do. Sternagel led off the inning with a hit, and Buddy followed him up with another hit. All around, I thought it was a good win."

EPA's Push For More Ethanol Could Be Too Little, Too Late
By Mark Goldberg On April 1, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Business, Environment, National Public Radio
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could soon issue a final ruling that aims to force oil companies to replace E-10, gasoline mixed with 10 percent ethanol, with E-15.
This move could come just as widespread support for ethanol, which is made from corn, appears to be eroding.
Mike Mitchell was once a true believer in ethanol as a homegrown solution to foreign oil imports. He owns gas stations, and he went further than most installing expensive blender pumps that let you choose E-15, E-20 and all the way up to E-85.
The result was a variation on the old adage, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
"We're environmental people, and we kind of jumped on the bandwagon early and it bit us," Mitchell says.
Many car companies, especially the Detroit Three, have been making vehicles that can use the higher blends of ethanol for more than a decade. They're called "flex-fuel" vehicles.
Most people who own those cars still use the lowest ethanol blend they can find, because ethanol negatively affects gas mileage.
Philip Verleger, an economist who tracks the oil industry, says when Congress approved the Renewable Fuels Standard in 2007, foreign oil imports were rising.
Then came tar sands and new ways to drill for oil.
"The oil crisis is going away," Verleger says. "We have plenty of oil. We have too much oil."
Verleger says the switch to E-10 was driven by the Clean Air Act, to reduce smog, and it worked pretty well.
The switch to E-15, however, is being driven by the renewable fuels mandate, which directs the EPA to require a greater volume of ethanol in gasoline every year, pretty much, no matter what.
Even some environmental groups don't like that mandate, because corn ethanol requires so much energy and water to produce.
"The need for the ethanol program is gone," Verleger says, "but the thing is … once you get something it's very hard to undo it."
Oil companies say they're absolutely not going to put E-15 into the marketplace, and if they're forced, they'll take their product elsewhere.
"It's my opinion that refiners have very limited choices in order to comply," says Andy Lipow, an oil industry consultant, "and one way to comply is to export ever-increasing amounts of gasoline and diesel fuel, or otherwise just simply shut down the refineries."
That's a bluff, according to the Renewable Fuels Association, a trade group for the corn ethanol industry. Its President, Bob Dinneen, says the EPA should call that bluff.
Dineen says this is the way Congress envisioned the mandate working: more and more ethanol over time in a gallon of fuel, and less and less petroleum.
"This is about market share," Dinneen says. "This is about their profitability; it's not any more complicated than that."
The problem is that the mandate applies only to the oil companies, not the people who blend the ethanol into the gas, and not the gas stations that buy the blended product.
There's that "horse to water" problem again. Since half of all gas stations are completely independent of the oil companies, they could just keep ordering lower ethanol gas, and they probably will.
Even though the EPA says E-15 is safe for any car built after 2001, car companies insist it's not.
"There is no guarantee that fuel will work properly in your vehicle," says Brent Bailey. Bailey heads a research group that has done 20 studies on the effects of higher ethanol blends on non flex-fuel cars. He says while most cars will probably be fine, it's "a little bit like Russian Roulette."
"You may have plenty of blanks out there, but then there might be some damage in certain cases," Bailey he says.
While that might make for an interesting experiment, oil companies, car companies, and gas stations are worried about class action lawsuits.
The petroleum industry is doing everything it can to postpone a showdown. If the EPA approves the increase, and if the refineries comply, E-15 may show up in your local gas station some time next year.

Eugene Wong completed a hat trick Sunday, winning
the Canadian Tour's season-ending Great Waterway Classic by a stroke.
What a roll Wong is on. The rookie pro has won three tournaments in as many weeks and his career is just two months old.
Wong of West Vancouver, B.C., won the Canadian Tour Championship on Aug. 26 in his fourth pro start by holing out his approach shot on the 72nd hole for eagle, then followed that on Sept. 2 with more final-hole heroics at the Vancouver Open. He made a birdie on the last hole of the Vancouver Golf Tour event to shoot nine-under 63 while runner-up Scott Stiles struggled to a double-bogey.
Wong's victory Sunday at Smuggler's Glen in Ganonoque, Ont., was more methodical. The former amateur standout, who won the 2010 Jack Nicklaus Award as the top U.S. college player, pulled away through the turn with five birdies over a seven-hole stretch and then hung on to defeat Daniel Im of the United States by a stroke.
Wong shot six-under 65 Sunday to finish at 18-under 266. He's the only player with two victories on the developmental circuit this year.
"It's been a pretty unbelievable stretch for me," Wong, who turns 22 Monday, told cantour.com. "I just tried to stay focused on what I was doing and was fortunate to come out with the victory."
He wasn't the only big winner of the day. Matt Hill of Sarnia, Ont., tied for 27th place at four under Sunday but he held on to the No. 1 spot on the tour's 2012 money list. Michael Gligic of Burlington, Ont., was a shot better in a tie for 22nd and stayed in second place on the list.
Cory Renfrew of Victoria put on a spirited charge to move up the money list from third place, shooting six-under 65 Sunday for a share of 18th spot. But he didn't earn quite enough to catch Gligic, finishing the season about $1,500 behind Gligic. (Wong moved to fourth.)
For finishing 1-2, Hill and Gligic get to bypass the often-perilous first stage of the PGA Tour's qualifying tournament, or Q-school. They'll join the three-stage Q-school in the second stage in November.
Hill also earned Canadian rookie-of-the-year honours, and Andrew Roque of the United States received the international equivalent.

For Kids: Ditto, to Distract the Pain Away
The 'Ditto' is a new medical tool designed to distract young burn victims from the painful and often arduous task of changing their dressings. Cleverly disguised as a video game, the therapy aid is designed for use with 3-8 year olds. Creator Sam Bucolo, Associate Professor of Queensland University of Technology, designed the device to engage children from the get-go:
"It was important that the product took only seconds to engage the child and it was also important that the distraction lasted 20 minutes, about the length of time it usually takes a nurse to replace burns bandaging," Professor Bucolo said.
'Ditto' relies on multi-modal interaction to completely immerse little ones in the virtual reality-style game.
The whole form of the toy is the interface. It has a touch screen and vibrating handles. The child holds the circular Ditto device and tilts it to navigate through the virtual world, rather than using a keyboard or separate game controller. Children can choose a character who accompanies them through the games, 'find and touch' stories and sing-along movies.
This type of technology may also be applicable to a wide range of uncomfortable medical procedures like vaccinations, medical testing and physiotherapy.

Why didn't you guys tell me I've been making nothing but pink food lately?! Good gracious, I looked at the first page of this blog the other day and was GIRL, get it together. Consider this dish/post a big gigantic break from all things strawberries/rhubarb/raspberries, etc. Woohoo!
When I went to college, my roommate was this Dominican girl from Queens named Kim. She cooked the best chicken; it was her mom's chicken. I remember she offered me a plate and I almost passed out it was so good. Whenever she would cook, I would always make sure to linger around so she'd offer me some and she always did because she was the best.
When I finally asked her why it was so good she told me the spices. The one thing she said her mom always told her was to add A LOT of spice to everything.
And I'll never forget that because my mom cooked with lots of spices too. I also remember thinking oh I guess that what us Latinas do—we cook lots of spices. Ok!
For this recipe, I teamed up with Ozery Bakery and their delicious bread. My favorite part about them is that I keep them in the freezer so I don't feel the need to eat all of the bread within a few days (because I will).
