1918 British War and Victory Medals. CAPT. A.G. CARMENT. (R.A.M.C.) As a Surgeon, Merchant Navy Killed aged 66, 8.5.1941 when the German Raider "PINGUIN" who had sunk 17 merchant ships including Clan Buchanan on 28.4.1941 & taken off survivors as P.O.W.'s was sunk by H.M.S. Cornwall 8.5.1941.
Andrew Gray Carment was born in India in 1873. He received his medical training at the University of Edinburgh, gaining a M.B., C.M. in 1896, B.Sc. in 1909, and M.D. in 1911. He was D.P.H., R.C.P.S. Edinburgh and R.F.P.S. Glasgow, 1920. During the Great War he was appointed a Temporary Lieutenant, R.A.M.C., October 1916 and Temporary Captain, October 1917. Served in East Africa, Malta, Macedonia and North Russia (August-October 1918). In the 1924 Medical Register his address is given as Tulagi on the British Solomon Island Protectorate. His M.I.C. confirms pair only but notes claimed 1914 Star 'ineligible' & also 'ineligible' for 1914-15 Star states "Capt. Carment did not appear to have served on the establishment of a unit of the British Ex. Force in E(ast) Af(rica) during the qualifing period". Presumably Carment was claiming his 1914 Star due to the collectors notes which say P.O.W. German East Africa Aug. 1914 of which I have been unable to confirm but as the M.O.D. says "not on a unit of the British Ex. Force" which doesn't mean to say he wasn't !!

text:
"[An] overpopulated universe is in many ways unlovely. It offends the aesthetic sense of us who have a taste for desert landscapes..." - W. V. O. Quine.
Humans have a predisposition towards reification: the process of believing that abstractions are concrete entities. I'm not sure that humanity's emphasis on abstract entities is healthy.
Abstractions form a large part of our lives. The idea of currency for example is an abstraction that constitutes the driving force behind many peoples' ambitions. A ten pound note is a concept: it's a sort of game that we all participate in. We pretend that a piece of specially-treated paper is worth a certain amount of value and then we proceed along with that pretending-game because it allows us to trade for goods and services. But objectively the paper as a material object has no value other than what we impose on it: the view of it as 'money' is an abstraction that guides the course of our lives. Another example is countries. In reality, countries are just masses of land with arbitrarily defined borders. Yet we treat countries as if they weren't just ideas. People treat countries with reverence, pride, even love. People fall in love with their abstractions.
Let's not forget that love too is an abstract entity. The emotions we label as love can be reduced to nothing more than a set of closely related biochemical reactions. Love is a human concept, one that has come to dominate much of the Western reproductive cycle in humans.
Obviously some level of reification is inevitable and necessary for manoeuvring through the world, particularly moving through society. The articulation of our thought processes into concepts and ideas is what has led our species to its present level of cultural evolution. Abstract entities are required for our view of the world to work. W. V. O. Quine, a philosopher who had a taste for sparse, 'desert-like' metaphysics, was forced to admit the existence of the abstract entities known as sets since their metaphysical existence was required for mathematics to work. Quine described himself as a reluctant Platonist: some reification was required for him to retain the use of mathematics. Reification therefore comes in degrees – the ability to perceive objects in the swirling mass of atoms before us is required but the creation of invisible borders for territoriality is merely a practical expedient.
It seems as though the distinction between the abstract and the concrete is not sufficiently reinforced during the human developmental process. This leads to situations where people feel real emotions for things that technically are not real at all; things such as money, countries, justice, truth, etc. When I see someone crying for the love of their country (mostly Americans although a lot of the English recently welled up for St. George's Day), I do not feel humbled by that person's overwhelming patriotism: I feel saddened that they feel such emotion for an abstraction, an object that humans have invented on the pragmatic grounds that it makes things easier for us. The economy is an abstraction that recently got us into a lot of trouble. Financial institutions realised that trading in imaginary money and allowing people to spend money that doesn't exist was a bad idea. It leads to (surprise, surprise) a situation where, for the past decade, people have believed that there is more money than there is. It doesn't seem healthy for so many to have such a poor grasp of what is real and what is technically not real – where 'real' is defined in terms of materialistic existence. It seems that reification often goes too far and that people are not reminded of the important distinction between the conceptual and the actual often enough. Reification comes in degrees: acceptance of abstract entities as necessary is fine; intense emotion about them is delusional. We can live in the desert and accept that mirages make our lives easier but we should never believe that the mirages are real.

England 2 Italy 1. Only a friendly, but a victory over Italy is most welcome. Defoe's fantastic strike settled the tie and has the Three Lions well placed heading into the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Last chance for Italy to grab something. They decide to go backwards from a throw! Odd choice. England with 10 men behind the ball. Bertrand unable to spring clear when the ball comes back their way.
De Rossi down under a challenge from Cleverley. Defore helps to slow Italy down by standing in front of the free-kick, When it is taken, Gabbiadini is caught offside.
Corner comes to nothing. England didn't push too many forward into the box. Hodgson happy to shut up shop and see this game out.
England fans in party mood as we edge towards the final whistle. So close to a third for the Three Lions. Brilliant from Milbner as he works his way along the dead-ball line. His pass towards Defoe is bundled behind, narrowly past the post.
Another comfortable take for Ruddy as he collects a Verratti cross. Italy hardly throwing men forward. It is only a friendly but they won't want to lose the game. De Rossi tries to get them going again.
Schelotto with his first touch. Not the best as he hangs a terrible cross into the arms of Ruddy. No blue shirt anywhere near where the ball ended up. Livermore then fouls Destro.
Milner on the deck again. Italy trying to force the issue. England prepared to draw them into rash tackles. Hodgson will be very pleased with the efforts of his side if things stay like this.
Abate pops up on the edge of the England box. He strikes a half-volley well enough, straight into Lescott. Handball shouts go up, but fall on deaf ears.
Defoe in the mood as he goes for goal again from 25 yards. This time he drags a left-footed effort well wide of the target. He had Baines in support but was never going to pass.
Hodgson taking things very seriously. He is barking out instructions and calling for focus. A win is a win and he knows momentum can be established here.
Defoe looking for more, but this time the flag goes up. Looking at his goal again, Sirigu may have done better. He got hands to the ball but was beaten by the pace of the strike, Taking nothing away from Defoe - England's most natural goalscorer.
GOAL ENGLAND - DEFOE. What a finish. From one end to the other and England lead. Defoe picks the ball up wide and moves inside past Abate. From the edge of the box he rifles the ball into the top corner.
Another smart save by Ruddy. A loose ball drops the way of Verratti, who shoots first time. His effort is straight at Ruddy, but he does well to touch it over the top. Bertrand hacks off the line from the resulting corner.
Final change for England brings another debut. Bertrand on in place of Baines. It's been some 2012 for Bertrand - Champions League final, Olympic Games and England debut.
Ruddy hasn't had much to do since coming on, but remains focused and continues to clear confidently when the ball does come his way. More movement on the bench.
Milner working down the left at the moment. Abate working hard to keep at his back. Carrick is then tripped by Gabbiadini. Both teams taking it in turns to have spells of possession.
Ball in the net again, but once again it won't count. Defore with a smart finish when the ball dropped his way. Lescott pulled up for a foul. He's not having much luck tonight!
England unfortunate not to be in front. Replays show that Peluso did really well to keep the ball out. Lescott's bundled effort was heading in but glanced off the Italy full-back's head and onto the woodwork. Peluso involved again now as he catches Milber with an attempted overhead kick.
Great run from Baines as he bursts into the box. He lacks support and can't find a cross. Doesn't matter as Cleverley is felled. Milner takes the free-kick and somehow the ball stays out. Sirigu flaps the ball clear, Lescott tries to force home the rebound but hits the post.
Destro still full of running and keeping the England back four on their toes. Every time Italy win the ball in midfield he is looking to spin in behind. As England win the ball back, Johnson is tripped.
Teasing cross from Abate towards Gabbiadini. Solid from Lescott as he gets across his man to head clear. Italy continue to press, with Carrick required to nick the ball off Destro as he spins into the area.
Carrick has taken the armband. Nice moment for him. England chasing the ball at the moment as Italy have the game under their control. Slick passing from the Azzurri.
Last touch for Aquilani as he is replaced by Poli. Another change by England sees skipper Lampard replaced by debutant Livermore.
Carrick still moving the ball around well. His vision is something England have lacked. The Three Lions can't keep the ball, though, and Aquilani drifts forward. His effort from 25 yards trickles a long way wide.
What a finish. Cahill meets Lampard's delivery on the volley and crashes the ball into the back of the net. Whistle has already gone, with Lescott said to have tugged the shirt of his marker. Shame.
Milner so good at making a yard and getting crosses in. On this occasion he whips the ball across the face, but no-one in white has gambled. England try again. Patient build-up ends up with a Milner cross bouncing off two defenders and behind.
Walker shows good pace to get down the right wing. He looks up and spots Cleverley arriving on the edge of the box. A clever cut back is cut out before it reaches the Manchester United man.
Defoe clattered by Astori. If this wasn't a friendly he might have been in trouble tonight. Cahill back with us and currently filling in at right-back.
Cahill caught by a stray arm from Destro. He requires treatment. He gave the Italy striker a nudge and was caught as Destro came back down after challenging for a high ball.
Changes by England, with Jagielka and Young making way for Lescott and Milner. Hodgson looking to give as many players as possible a run out. Six changes allowed.
Much better second time around. Lampard picks out the head of Cahill. His glancing header ends up at the feet of Defoe. He tries to spin inside the box but has no room and his shot is blocked. Young then fires high over the top from 25 yards out.
Johnson bursts through one challenge, before sending the ball wide to Walker. He takes a look up before sending over a cross. His delivery is deflected behind. Lampard takes the corner. Not the best, but Aquilani scuffs behind for another.
Diamanti makes way for Verratti. Gabbiadini on in place of El Shaarawy. Verratti a youngster with a big reputation. Interesting to see how he gets on.
England rocking as Destro yet again threatens for Italy. He is forced wide and is unable to get in a shot. He is able to find Aquilani, but his pass on to Abate isn't the best. England then carved open again, with Walker ball-watching, but are let off the hook as Peluso fires wide.
Johnson cutting in field again. England work the ball from right to left, but Cleverley is unable to stay on his feet when the ball comes his way. He hasn't been at his best tonight.
Lampard spins on the edge of the area but can't dig the ball out and poke it on to Defoe. Misplaced pass from Carrick, who has kept England ticking over nicely.
Smart save from Ruddy. Destro finds space in the box and fires through bodies when the ball breaks his way. Ruddy down quickly to his right to get a strong hand to the ball. Destro then fires well wide moments later.
Italy suddenly spring clear. Poor final ball from El Shaarawy. Diamanti collects the loose ball and is felled by Walker. Chance for Italy to load the box. Diamanti delivers, Jagielka nods clear.
England still looking to play football. Don't have a lot of choice as they have no height going forward. Nice to see them trying to keep the ball.
Destro breaks in behind, and sees his run picked out. He went too soon, though, and the flag goes up. Cleverley then caught on the ball. Needs to move it on quicker.
Ruddy prepared to play the ball out from the back. England caught on the ball, though, as Carrick has his pocket picked. Italy quickly lose it, but De Rossi is in the right place again to break up an England attack.
Destro goes down inside the box under pressure from Jagielka. He bounces back up and does not appeal. Shoulder to shoulder and nothing in the challenge. England yet to get a foot on the ball since the interval.
Cleverley onto a loose ball from Abate. His pass intended for Defoe is cut out by De Rossi. The Italy captain charges forward and is tripped by Defoe. Italy opt against launching the ball into the box.
Nocerino and El Shaarawy unable to combine. One pass too many as the former could have cut in field and run at England. Solid defending from Cahill as he sees the ball out for a throw.
Baines feeds the ball low down the line for Defoe. No point going long with Carroll gone. Cleverley then claims a foul, but gets nothing.
First touch for Ruddy. Simple one as he rolls the ball out to Lampard and gets it back. He then can't pick out the head of Walker with a long ball out to the right.
Changes at the interval. Butland replaced by Ruddy. Two debuts between the sticks tonight. Deofe also enters the fold at the expense of Carroll. For Italy, Peluso is on in place of Balzaretti.
Remember you can also bet in-play at Skybet.com. England are now 15/8 to win the game, with Italy 9/4 and the draw 5/4. You can get 7/2 on England winning 2-1.
How do you see the second half going? Get your thoughts in to email@example.com or @SkySportsChrisB.
England 1 Italy 1. Virtually no stoppage time at the end of the first half and we are all square at the interval. Two headed goals from corners so far. Decent display from England and they have options on the bench.
Nice period of possession from England. Walker is allowed to head off down the right, but is eventually forced backwards. Johnson floats a high cross from the left wing into the arms of Sirigu.
Great one-two between Diamanti and Abate. The latter gets in behind Baines. His cross-shot flashes across the face of goal with no blue shirt on hand to provide a finishing touch. England can't find Carroll as they go long again.
Italy able to move the ball away from England with ease when they click into gear. De Rossi back in possession now. He has been quiet since opening the scoring.
England fans in good voice, as they always are. They will be pleased with what they are seeing. Youngsters doing okay and old heads looking assured.
Young and Lampard combine, sending the latter flying towards the box. He is taken out again by Astori. Free-kick to England right on the edge of the area, left of centre. Lampard's effort clips the top of the netting on its way over. So close.
Astori takes no prisoners as he clatters through the back of Young. The England man gets nothing as he came back from an offside position. Nice improvisation from Butland as he gets a toe to a dangerous delivery and diverts the ball to safety.
Johnson has Italy worried when he gets on the ball. He keeps going inside, though, and needs to mix it up at times. Italy counter through Abate, but Jagielka does well to recover and out in a sliding tackle.
Clever run from Lampard as he offers an option to Walker. The ball ends up looping in towards Carroll, but he can't bring it under his spell. More frustration for the big striker.
Balzaretti spotted making inroads down the Italy left. He gets to the ball ahead of Walker, but can't keep it in play. England still leaving gaps at the back, which is concerning, but their overall performance has been good.
Easy for Jagielka as another misplaced pass from El Shaarawy poses no threat. Poor from Johnson as he looks to send Baines down the line, but gets far too much on his pass.
Baines well forward down the England left. The ball is worked into the feet of Lampard once again. He takes aim from 30 yards this time, but can't slip the ball through a collection of blue shirts in front of him.
El Shaarawy looking to get involved, as he pops up on the right this time. He is a little too keen if anything, as he stands on the ball and ends up on his backside. Yet to see him burst into life.
Direct running from Johnson again. He needs to keep doing that. Young comes over to help and stands a cross into the box. Sirigu plucks the ball out of the air ahead of Carroll.
Nice build-up from England ends up providing Lampard with a sight of goal from distance. He catches a 25-yard effort sweetly and Sirigu takes no chances as he punches the ball clear.
Carroll still can't get involved. Long balls aren't being aimed in his direction. England decide they are better on the deck, but Lampard can't pick out a run from Young.
Italy still moving the ball around well. England deserve to be level as they have offered enough to the tie, but they need to close quicker in midfield.
Walker well forward, and he loses the ball. Aquilani carries it through midfield, but ends up on the turf. He is waved back to his feet. Young is then tripped by Diamanti.
GOAL ENGLAND - JAGIELKA. Lampard delivers, dropping the ball into the heart of the box. Jagielka is brave as he dives in to get a head to the ball ahead of Balzaretti's boot and guide it into the bottom corner.
Johnson dances past Balzaretti and sends Walker scampering down the right wing. He can't get a cross in, but does win a corner.
Nice one-touch football from Italy. Destro the attacking target again and he does enough to force a corner. Diamanti with another whipped delivery, but this time straight into the hands of Butland.
El Shaarawy threatens to spring clear, but his touch lets him down and he runs the ball out of play. Italy soon back in possession.
Johnson cuts inside once again. He finds Carrick, who drops a pass wide to Young. He looks to force his way past Abate, and settles for a corner. Lampard's delivery comes to nothing.
Carroll with a rare chance to get a foot on the ball. Not for long as he us pulled up for a shove. Harsh call. Englanc caught napping again as Destro escapes in behind. He brings the ball down well, but skews wide under pressure from Walker. Roma new boy looking lively.
Johnson with an effort on target. He is picked out just inside the penalty area. He is always looking to work the ball onto his left foot, and Balzaretti allows him to do so. Not the cleanest of strikes straight at Sirigu.
Aquilani with a well-struck shot from 25 yards which requires a brave block to prevent it from troubling Butland. England looking to keep the ball, with Carrick feeding a smart pass into Lampard. His effort from the edge of the box is blocked.
Young allowed to edge forward past halfway. He finds Johnson. Neat football by England on the edge of the Italian box. Johnson then tries a trick too many and falls over the ball. End of attack.
Walker flicks the ball into the box, towards Carroll. England's lone frontman is unable to get anywhere near it. Carroll has had little service in open play so far. Cleverley trying to provide the link between midfield and attack.
El Shaarawy nicks the ball off Johnson's toe and sets off down the line. He is faced with a number of white shirts. Italy eventually hang the ball into the box, and Destro tests Butland with a looping header.
Balzaretti well forward again down the Italian left. Johnson isn't going with him. The Azzurri look dangerous when they enter the final third, with England far from solid at the back.
Carrick at fault for the goal as he allowed De Rossi to get in front of him. Hard on Butland as he has not had a lot to do and has already been forced to pick the ball out of his net.
GOAL ITALY - DE ROSSI. Butland does well to put a deflected free-kick from Diamanti behind. Is then picking the ball out of the net moments later as De Rossi glances a powerful header into the back of the net.
Destro troubling England again. He collects the ball inside the box and turns to face the target. He tries to slide a pass into Aquilani, but misdirects his effort. Diamanti is then felled wide on the Italy right.
Free-kick to England wide on their left. Lampard delivers, but gets this on well wrong. His cross is high and deep and straight into the hands of Sirigu. He needed to be whipping the ball in much flatter.
Second mistake from Nocerino in as many minutes as he gives Balzaretti no chance with an easy pass. Throw to England. They move the ball well from right to left, with Johnson happy to drift infield onto his favoured left foot. No way through on this occasion.
Sloppy from Nocerino as he concedes a corner with no white shirt behind him. Lampard whips the set-piece into the heart of the box. Carroll meets the ball on the run, but powers a header high into the stands. Should have done better as he wasn't really challenged.
Another dangerous run by Destro as he escapes the attention of Cahill and Jagielka. A brilliant looping pass over the top has the Italy striker interested. It drops just past his toe and into the grateful arms of Butland.
The set-piece is aimed at Carroll, who wins the ball in the air. De Rossi is able to hack clear from inside the penalty area. Italy struggle to clear their lines intially, but England drop back into their positions allowing the Azzurri to play their way out.
Young with room to turn and run into. He then feeds the ball wide to Baines, who sees his cross blocked. Baines has another go and sees his second effort deflect behind off Abate for a corner.
Johnson nutmegged in the middle of the park. Very tight in midfield, with Italy packing bodies into that area. They are looking to their full-backs to provide width. Walker does well to cut into the middle and nod a cross to safety. The ball sailed over Cahill and Jagielka.
Jagielka invited forward, and he brings the ball out from the back. Young darts into space behind Abate, but can't be found. Italy counter through Balzaretti. First glimpse of El Shaarawy, a talented teenager who could cause plenty of problems tonight.
Wild cross from Abate sails high into the stands. He had a yard of space wide on the Italy right, but sliced his delivery horribly. Hodgson already out on the touchline.
Cleverley pulled up for hand ball. Aquilani looks to take the fre-kick quickly, but then leaves it for a team-mate. Italy moving the ball around well. De Rossi keen to get involved.
Nervous early touch by Sirigu as he is forced to hack sideways for a throw. He didn't really want the ball and Cleverley was quick to get in his face. Carroll doing his best to pull the Italian defence into areas they don't want to go. He is going to need support, though.
Early warning for England. Italy have made plenty of changes as well and there are a lot of players in blue eager to impress tonight. As the action continues, De Rossi slides into a robust challenge and catches Cleverley.
Destro immediately in behind the England back four. One long ball and the Three Lions are caught napping. Destro does well to force a corner. Ogbonna glances on at the near post, but Destro can't grow enough at the back post.
Italy get this friendly encounter up and running, once we have an extra ball belted off the field. England keen to have their own after what happened in the Euros!
Teams are out on the field. National anthems ring out around the stadium. Hodgson leading by example. A few of his players need a reminder of the words, it seems.
Italy team: Sirigu, Ogbonna, Abate, Balzaretti, Astori, El Shaarawi, Aquilani, De Rossi, Diamanti, Nocerino, Destro. Subs: Perin, De Sciglio, Peluso, Acerbi, Poli, Schelotto, Gastaldello, Gabbiadini, Verratti, Consigli.
England team: Butland, Walker, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Carrick, Lampard, Johnson, Cleverley, Young, Carroll. Subs: Ruddy, Lescott, Bertrand, Caulker, Milner, Livermore, Rodwell, Defoe.
You can also bet in-play throughout the game at Skybet.com. Little to choose between the two sides prior to kick-off, with England 8/5, Italy 7/4 and the draw 11/5. You can get 13/2 on Carroll to break the deadlock.
How will a new-look England side get on? Should Lampard and Carrick be involved or is it time to look to the future? Who will be the players to keep an eye on? Let me know your thoughts.
Feel free to offer your opinion on tonight's game by contacting me direct at email@example.com or @SkySportsChrisB.
England's starting XI has been confirmed as: Butland, Walker, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Johnson, Carrick, Lampard (captain), Cleverley, Young, Carroll. Full team news to follow.
Italy, meanwhile, will be looking to build on an impressive showing un Ukraine and Poland which saw them make it all the way through to the final.
Roy Hodgson will be looking to stamp his authority on the England side after stepping into the dugout at late notice ahead of the European Championships.
Just seven weeks on from their quarter-final clash at Euro 2012, two old foes lock horns again as they look to step up their preparations for the start of 2014 World Cup qualifying.

New batteries give Dreamliner clearance for take-off
An Ethiopian Airlines 787 Dreamliner is due to take off from Addis Ababa on Saturday morning, the first commercial flight by the Boeing aircraft since all 787s were grounded in January.
The 50 planes around the world were grounded due to battery malfunctions that saw one 787 catch fire in the US.
Over the past week teams of Boeing engineers have been fitting new batteries to the aircraft.
BBC Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott spoke to Rich Horigan, systems engineering leader from Boeing, at Addis Ababa airport.

The walk traced the route she would have taken after leaving from a physical education class at Wells Middle School at 6800 Penn Drive in Dublin and ended with a prayer service at St. Raymond Catholic Church at 11555 Shannon Ave.
Among those participating in the walk was Michael Hart, a former Alameda County sheriff's deputy.
"I was on duty the night Ilene disappeared," Hart said as he and his wife, Crystal, walked along the teen's route. "I've been doing it just about every year since."
"It's an awful thing to lose a child," Crystal Hart added.
Misheloff was 13 years old when she disappeared in Dublin, but her family continues to search for their daughter. A website, www.find-ilene.org, offers a $95,000 reward for her return.
On the day she disappeared, Ilene left school early after being excused from a physical education class, according to her family. She walked home alone, and witnesses who saw Ilene at several points along the walk say that she was last seen at the intersection of San Ramon Road and Amador Valley Boulevard.
Mike and Maddi Misheloff, accompanied by the girl's twin brother Brian, led the walk as they have done every year since Ilene went missing.
The Misheloffs continue to hope someone has information and will come forward.
Pictures of what the 13-year-old looked like at the time and an age progression showing what she would look like today can be found on the website, along with information about rewards and tips for preventing child abductions.

Subject: graphing ordinal panel data over time
Dear Mr Seed,
first I want to thank you for writing the very helpful command xtgraph.
I would be very glad if you could answer a question for which I could
not find an answer yet:
I have got an ordered outcome variable with three values over a period
of 20 years. I use an unbalanced panel design and the sampling units are
individuals. To describe the data, I want to show how the three values
of my outcome variable have developed over time. Therefore, I would
like to graph the overall development of these three values over time
that means mapping the percent of respondents who chose value 1, 2 or 3
in a certain year. Do you know how I can do this in Stata?
I would be very grateful for your information!
Best regards
Andrea Hense

Sleeveless Sateen Dress
I can't pull off this dress. I wish I could. I wish I could more than most thing because I love this dress. But this dress looks best on someone who has a straighter body shape (otherwise you corrupt the line of the dress). Sigh. It's classic, it's clean, it's perfect for a barbeque.


text: I saw a pair of shoes yesterday labeled "Brooks Brothers Peal & Co.", made in Italy. I thought from reading posts here and on AskAndy that Peal & Co. were made by Crockett & Jones or Alfred Sargent, both English companies. I'd appreciate any information about who might make the Peal & Co. shoes made in Italy, if such beasts exist, and also some comment about the construction. Also, all other algonquins I've seen have been split toe. Is the split toe not a characteristic of algonquins? Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks in advance for any help.

Pairing wine with fish or seafood can be daunting. Yes, white wines are generally the right choice -- but which ones? Choose a dry white when you need a full-bodied, lush wine and you will be disappointed. What about seafood with heavy sauces, like barbecue or tomato sauce? Do you use the same wine with grilled shrimp that you do with lobster Thermidor? It can all be confusing. Here are some quick rules and a few "go-to" wines I reach for whenever I am serving seafood. Don't worry if... you can't get the exact wine here -- these are general rules, and as we all know, rules are made to be broken.
01 of 08
Champagne, Prosecco, Cava
Sparkling wine, whether it's from California, France, Spain or Italy, is spot-on perfect for fried food. I list this one first because most of us love fried seafood, and while light beers match up well with fried seafood, most wines lose something when you pair them with tempura or a thick beer batter. Not so with sparkling wine, whose bubbles cut through the weight of fried food as if the wines were made for the dish. These wines also pair well with caviar. Don't like sparkling wine?... Try a Portuguese vinho verde.
02 of 08
Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio
These are the aristocrats of white fish wines. Dry, austere and crisp, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Grigio are the wines I reach for when I am serving lean, white fish cooked simply. Flounder, halibut, walleye, snapper, raw clams or oysters all do well with these wines. Alternately, you can use these wines to cut through the natural fat in some fish, such as striped bass, catfish, lobster, or mussels. Looking for something off the beaten track that fits this style? Try an Italian Vermentino or a Greek... Assyrtiko.
03 of 08
Chardonnay, Fume Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Gris
This is the realm of the fuller whites. Oaky Chardonnay gets a bad rap these days, but I love it with striped bass, crab, raw oysters -- even lobster. The theory here is to match a full-bodied wine with a full-bodied dish. If you have a broth-based soup, such as , Chardonnay works wonderfully. If you have a fish that's a little oilier, such as bluefish or mackerel, try Pinot Gris or Viognier, or an Italian Grillo.
04 of 08
Marsanne, Roussane, Riesling, Gewurztraminer
These are even fuller whites that often have some lingering sweetness to them. I go for these wines with Asian seafood or anything spicy. Gewurztraminer is especially good with the zingy Vietnamese seafood I eat often, and the tropical aromas of Roussanne and Marsanne, which are Rhone white varietals, marry perfectly with the flavors of Asia.Continue to 5 of 8 below.
05 of 08
Albarino, Verdelho
These varietals are from Spain and Portugal, but are increasingly being grown in California. There's something about them that makes these wines absolutely perfect with shellfish: clams, mussels, scallops as well as crab and lobster. It is rare that I will not open an Albarino when I eat clams or scallops.
06 of 08
Dry Fino Sherry
I split this one out because it is the perfect wine with simply cooked shrimp. Period, end of story. If you eat a lot of shrimp cocktail, steamed, grilled, stir-fried or , this is the drink to go with it. Be sure to buy real Spanish dry fino sherry, which is achingly dry and slightly salty. Tip: This wine marries well with almonds, too.
07 of 08
Pinot Noir, Gamay, Sangiovese, Grenache
Basically, this is the light red wine category. There are precious few instances where you'd want a big red with seafood, but light reds do quite well with salmon, tuna, marlin, swordfish, mackerel, bluefish or other fatty, meaty, big-flavored fish. I love a Chianti -- which is mostly Sangiovese -- with spaghetti and clam sauce or octopus stewed in tomato sauce. Be careful, though: Avoid combining reds with spicy seafood, as you will probably get a nasty metallic taste.
08 of 08
Roses and Other Blush wines
Kind of a 'tweener of a wine. I will serve Spanish, French or California roses when the sauce is heavier than what I want for a white, but not quite right for a full-on red. Roses can substitute for full-bodied whites such as Chardonnay and Fume Blanc. I use them a lot in summer, too, when I am grilling swordfish or tuna steaks. Rose is also a good choice with a tomato-based seafood soup, such as cioppino or zuppa da pesce.

Former Liberal minister Mal Brough has denied being involved in a political conspiracy with James Ashby to destroy the career of the Speaker,
Mr Brough has vowed to hand over any text messages and emails involving Mr Ashby, a former political aide who is suing his former boss, Mr Slipper, for sexual harassment.
"To suggest that myself or any member of the LNP has been part of a conspiracy – that's an extraordinary allegation, that we have conspired to concoct a story about sexual harassment really is beyond belief," said Mr Brough, who is seeking Liberal pre-selection in the seat of Fisher, which Mr Slipper now holds.
"What needs to be dealt with, the prima facie case allegedly being put by James Ashby that he was sexually harassed," Mr Brough told the Ten Network on Sunday.
A day earlier, Labor frontbencher
"What occurred during Watergate was that people attempted to obtain information in a way that wasn't legal and wasn't appropriate," he said, adding it took some time for the facts to be uncovered.
Mr Albanese said once the facts of the Slipper case were fully unravelled in court, the public could make a judgment. "I think it is in everyone's interest, given the way the allegations were made so publicly and so dramatically, that there be full transparency in this."
His comments came after Attorney-General
She, along with government lawyers in the Federal Court on Friday, accused Mr Ashby of improper contact with political identities, including Mr Slipper's arch-enemy Mal Brough, and News Ltd journalist Steve Lewis – who broke the story – in the lead-up to the claim being filed. Mr Ashby accused Mr Slipper of sexual harassment and criminal misuse of Cabcharge vouchers, but later dropped many of the salacious allegations including all the voucher claims.
Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos criticised Ms Roxon's comments as "opportunistic", saying the government should "desist, and let the court make up its mind without pressure".
Middletons partner Gerard Phillips agreed, saying it was "improper" for the Attorney-General, who is supposed to be a model litigant, to comment on a case before the courts. The accusations that Mr Ashby brought the claim to damage Mr Slipper and help his opponents will be fought in court in July.
Both Mr Slipper and the Commonwealth have filed an abuse of process claim in an attempt to have the proceedings permanently stayed.
Mr Phillips said it was a "very high bar" to prove an abuse of process claim, and it was necessary to show that the claim had been brought for a purpose that was entirely improper.
That can be difficult to prove in harassment cases, he said, because it is a common motive that the plaintiff does not want the perpetrator to harass anyone else and this is not improper. The content of communications between Mr Ashby and political identities and the media will be crucial to proving if there was any improper purpose or bad behaviour in the months before the claim.

Laura Knots editing is usually rough and this is no exception, e.g., "past" instead of "passed" and it looks like there was a late change from 3rd person to 1st person, so there's a mix of "my" [body part] and "her" [body part] which can get confusing. But despite the editing problems, some of her stories work for me because they're so sincerely committed to the kinks and fetishes being explored. This one felt a bit lacking, there wasn't much tension to it. Should really be tagged dubcon or even noncon.

Bills' Searcy catches Marrone's eye
Doug Marrone doesn't just like Da'Norris Searcy in the Buffalo Bills' dime defensive package.
"I truly love him in the dime role," the coach said this week.
Searcy's propensity for big plays is what has Marrone swooning.
The third-year veteran has scored both of the Bills' defensive touchdowns this season, including a 32-yard interception he took to the house in Buffalo's 37-14 victory over the New York Jets last Sunday. He's also third on the team in tackles with 55, fifth in sacks (2.5) and tied for fourth in passes defended (five).
Searcy's role in the defense has evolved as the season has gone on. He started the first five games in place of injured Pro Bowl free safety Jairus Byrd. But with Byrd resuming his role as an every-down defender the past few weeks – and Aaron Williams back at safety after moving over to cornerback for four games – Searcy has settled into a sort of hybrid linebacker/safety role in Buffalo's defense. He's primarily used when the Bills go to their "dime" package, as a sixth defensive back.
It's a position similar to the one played in recent seasons by Bryan Scott.
"I think he's a good safety," Marrone said. "Obviously we have Aaron and Jairus back there. I think if something happened to one of them and we put Da'Norris back there, I'd be very fine with that. I wouldn't be like, 'What are we going to do? We have to get them healthy.' But he is an outstanding dime complement for us."
At 5-foot-11, 216 pounds, Searcy is the biggest defensive back on Buffalo's roster. That provides him with some flexibility to be used in different roles.
For example, his first of 20 defensive snaps against the Jets found him lined up 9 yards off the line of scrimmage, in a deep safety role. On his next snap, he was on the line of scrimmage and blitzed from the right side of the defensive line.
"Truth be told, it's just like playing linebacker," he said of his current job on defense. "I played linebacker in high school, so it wasn't any different looks. It was just being able to adjust back to being that close to the ball again. Once I got readjusted, it was fun."
Searcy relished the chance to get on the field any way possible.
"I just saw it as an opportunity to show my versatility, show I can play pretty much anywhere they put me," he said. "The coaches, they trust in me that I can make a play, so I'm just going out there to help the team out any way possible."
His interception Sunday came after perfectly diagnosing an attempted screen pass to receiver Santonio Holmes.
"I knew the play was coming. I was just thinking, either he's going to throw it, or he's going to hold onto the ball," Searcy said. "I figured if he held onto it, somebody's going to sack him. Mario got good pressure on him, and he rushed it and he threw it straight to me.
"It's a tremendous feeling, just being able to be out there and fly around. I was always taught since Pee Wee league to run to the ball no matter what. So anywhere the ball goes – see ball, go get ball."
That's something the Buffalo secondary has done better than almost every team in the league. The Bills have 16 interceptions through Week 11, tied with Seattle for the NFL lead.
"The big emphasis is always takeaways. We want to be a defense that can be able to put points on the board," Searcy said. "If we can have an opportunity to score on defense, we want to do so. Getting turnovers, that's when we have an opportunity."
The Bills recorded three interceptions of New York rookie quarterback Geno Smith and recovered one of his fumbles to win the turnover battle, 4-0, Sunday. That comes after the Bills' defense had recorded only one turnover over the previous three games, while the offense had lost the ball seven times.
For the season, the Bills are plus-3 in turnover differential, which ranks tied for 13th in the NFL. The Jets are 32nd, at minus-14, while Buffalo's opponent in Week 12, the Atlanta Falcons, are 31st at minus-12.
"It all started early last week when Coach Marrone was telling us: 'Don't be afraid to celebrate with each other,' " Searcy said. "We were encouraging one another, and we saw how great we can be. We just want to keep feeding off that and feeding off that. As you saw, it helped tremendously. We were able to make a whole bunch of plays."

The dollar has suffered its first major hiccup in a 12-month bull run, but the analysts are not calling a turning point in its rise just yet.
Yesterday it settled around US75.80˘ - more than US2˘ lower than where it was trading at the end of last week.
But the fall has been due to fluctuations in the euro - and some overdue spring-back by the US dollar - and not a reflection of the health of the dollar.
The European Central Bank and European finance ministers yesterday called for "stable" exchange rates rather than the "excessive" moves that lifted the euro 20 per cent last year.
The Australian dollar and the euro have moved together with a 95 per cent correlation in the past six months, according to analysts.
The dollar was the biggest gainer among 60 currencies against the US dollar last year, rising 34 per cent.
"It's way too early to start talking about turning points in the Australian dollar," said National Australia Bank currency strategist Michael Jansen.
"This is a consolidation phase in what is still a broader bullish market for the Australian currency.
" NAB is still predicting the dollar will hit US80˘ this year.
Macquarie Bank senior economist Brian Redican said the dollar would have to fall back to US70˘ before the market would believe it had ended its recent appreciation.
"I still think you'll see the dollar hit 80 US cents by mid-year and then fall back to about where it is now - 75 US cents - by the end of the year as the US dollar and US economy show more signs of recovering."
Westpac currency strategist Allison Montgomery said she expected the dollar to rise back to its 61/2-year high of US78.12˘ reached last week and climb to about US80˘ in the next two months.
"The Australian dollar maintains its yield advantage, which will continue to support it as long as the Federal Reserve retains the message that interest rates are on hold for a considerable period."
The Reserve Bank is expected to raise interest rates for a third time in four months in February.
Yesterday the local bond market fell, spurred on by fears of higher official rates, pushing up yields.
The benchmark 10-year bond closed at 5.690 per cent, from 5.645 per cent on Monday.

The accompanying illustration shows a vessel passing the lightship at the Nore.
"Posy here'd be a good hand aboard a lightship," he observed.
Then he forced his plane a very little closer to the lightship and waited.
I noticed that the lightship off the harbor was gradually growing plainer.
Far beyond the lightship a liner was riding the waves with serene contempt, making for the river's mouth and Tilbury Dock.
Two vessels had been in collision with the Newarp lightship.
It was intended that this vessel should do duty as a lightship until the lighthouse should be completed.
And as it was, we passed three-quarters of a mile inside the lightship.
"There is a lightship on the starboard," said Louis, who was seated between his mother and Miss Blanche.
A lightship is as peaceful and immobile as the granite blockstones of a lighthouse.

The A's have taken the first step in trying to convert their biggest asset into help for their most glaring weakness.
Oakland, which scored the fourth-fewest runs in the AL last season, bolstered its lineup by acquiring outfielder David DeJesus from the Royals in exchange for pitchers Vin Mazzaro and Justin Marks, the latter a Class A prospect.
DeJesus, 30, is a lifetime .289 hitter who batted a career-high .318 in 2010 but also missed the last two months of the season after undergoing surgery on his right thumb. He has played all three outfield spots and figures to become a regular on either side of center fielder Coco Crisp, whose contract option was recently picked up.
The veteran left-handed hitter probably won't fill Oakland's desperate need for power – his career best in homers is 13, in 2009 – but he'll team up with Crisp and Ryan Sweeney to form one of the top defensive outfields in the majors. DeJesus, who can become a free agent after next season, has an active streak of 241 games without committing an error.
Mazzaro was a candidate to become the fifth starter for the A's, who led the AL with a 3.58 ERA last season, but that opportunity was jeopardized when Oakland won the negotiating rights to Japanese right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma, regarded as a middle-of-the-rotation starter.
Instead, the sinkerballing right-hander will have a strong chance to crack the Royals' shaky rotation. Kansas City had the league's highest ERA in 2010 at 4.97, and not one of its starters finished below 4.10.
Mazzaro, 24, had stretches of brilliance during his three stints with the A's last season, going 5-2 with a 2.84 ERA in his first nine starts. He lost his next six decisions, though, and finished 6-8 with a 4.27 ERA.

Uncle Sam-I-Am
I am Sam. Sam I am." The first nine words of "Green Eggs and Ham," indisputably the finest American children's book, are in the nature of an anthem, uttered at the outset of a tale so consequential that it must be seen as a formative text in the making of modern American citizens. One may say of Sam-I-am--the adamant purveyor of those strangely colored foods that make up the title of Dr. Seuss's lovely little book--that he embodies the American Way. So much so that I call him, with no great inaccuracy, Uncle-Sam-I-am.
There are two ways to interpret "Green Eggs and Ham." The first--to which I do not subscribe--was suggested to me by a colleague with small children. It is as a terrifying torture-and-kidnap story: It begins, famously, with a question, "Do you like green eggs and ham?"--and a proffered platter. In spite of its unorthodox greenness, the ham looks rather succulent. Yet the offer is refused. The Protagonist--a typical Seussian creature with furry exterior and rumpled top-hat--then retreats grumpily to his house, where Sam-I-am harasses him, confronting him first with a rodent, and then with a smug-faced fox.
The Protagonist flees, Sam-I-am pursues him in a car, and then brings on a very forward goat, posing the question that has always amused the schoolboy in me: "Could you, would you, with a goat?" He then runs the car off the road, dumping the Protagonist (along with a bevy of innocent train passengers) into the sea. At this point, in self-defense, the victim adopts the worldview of his assailant and, Patty Hearst-like, becomes a propagandist for Sam-I-am's cause.
The second way to interpret the book is as a celebration, albeit a mischievous one, of two particularly American traits: salesmanship and open-mindedness. Sam-I-am is the consummate entrepreneur, although, clearly, he does not believe in soft-sell. He is convinced of his product's attractiveness, and the evangelism of his pitch is evident. He wants the Protagonist to "see the light." However annoying one might be tempted to find Sam-I-am, he retains our sympathy for as long as his interlocutor refuses to try his product. How could he know that he doesn't like green eggs and ham? Has he tried them? Why won't he try them? What if we all refused to do things simply because we haven't done them before?
These are questions all children might, and do, ask themselves, as Sam-I-am goes about his business.
"Green Eggs and Ham" is a book written to be read aloud to preliterate children. And new research--by economists such as James Heckman, and others--now reveals that a child's intellectual and civic development is often made (or marred) by the stimuli he receives well before he learns to read. So a book that electrifies a child when read aloud is not merely a source of pleasure, but a building block for his future.
"Green Eggs and Ham" is a very American book, of course, but good children's literature has certain universal characteristics. Plainly, a book must be fun. It cannot be a snooze (although sleep by the end of it is a parent's delight). So the language is paramount: If it is alluring, a child's imagination is captured; if it is all flat, the audience is lost. The pictures can be as important as the language, although great art can never rescue a flaccid text.
A good children's book, moreover, must provoke a desire to return, to be read to from the same pages again and again. For this, it must have an "aftertaste." This may either be a lesson that is left in the young mind, or a deposit of fuel for the imagination, in the form of a character, or a twist in the tale, or a rhyme that, like a good tune, insinuates itself into a child's brain. "Green Eggs and Ham" has all of these.
It is also fine, and often part of the fun, that the child be disconcerted by what has just been read to him. So darkness in a tale is no bad thing. Here, however--and especially where being disconcerted shades into being disturbed--it is important that the book end well, and on a comforting note, with a restoration of the natural order.
What is distinctive about the best American children's literature, of which "Green Eggs and Ham" is at the forefront? The obvious thing is the language. Dr. Seuss must take credit for inventing a brand new, American argot for children. Outlandish coinage and neologisms of every stripe abound in his texts. And yet, he is always perfectly, perfectly clear. Consider these lines from "The Lorax" (which some killjoys dislike for its apparently environmentalist message):
I am the Lorax," he coughed and he whiffed.
He sneezed and he snuffled. He snarggled. He sniffed.
"Once-ler!" he cried with a cruffulous croak.
"Once-ler! You're making such smogulous smoke."
The alliteration, the linguistic subversiveness, the stretching of the dictionary like bubble gum, these are Seussian traits that give our children an early taste for language, for flair, for the advantages of sounding smart--and even, I daresay, for the advantages of being smart. There is a narrative frontiersman's quality to Seuss that echoes the frontiersman's quality of American culture. Thank you! Thank you, Sam-I-am!
