If you're like most people during these difficult times, the prospect of growing your own produce seems like a perfect idea. Taking on this task can seem a little scary for first time gardeners, but with a little knowledge and some spare time, you can grow a delicious bounty for fresh eating, canning or freezing.
1: Ground, pots or raised beds?
Digging a new garden for ground planting: You'll need to mark off a space in FULL SUN where you can start removing the grass, loosening the soil and removing large stones. A shovel is good, but a mattock is better for chopping up hard soil. Add fresh planting mix, garden soil mixed with peat, perlite, vermiculite and mix well. Each row or hole you dig should be at least 16" deep. (Ideally soft enough to dig with your hands, once the soil is prepared.
If digging isn't your thing, you can always build raised beds. We used pressure treated lumber above at our home garden- but some folks say you should use untreated lumber.
Fill with soil and you're all set. You'll just need lots of soil if you have lots of beds!
Pots can be used as vegetable planters too. We've seen Rubbermaid tubs, large party tubs (the kind they sell at Walmart with ropes as handles) anything will work, as long as it's big enough. There's a ton of planter ideas on the internet, and often (in previous years) we carry several large containers also.
One tomato plant (a non-dwarf or patio variety) should be planted in a pot or container that is 14" or larger. Peppers have a smaller root system and can easily grow in a 12" pot or container. As long as they are deep containers and you've drilled large holes in the bottom for drainage. Don't skimp on the size of the drain holes!
Cool temperatures prevent us from planting a lot of crops. What can you plant in April? Lettuce, cabbage, spinach, asparagus roots, potatoes, pea seeds, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, kale, broccoli are all perfect choices.
May 12th for the rest of your crops
Warmer night temperatures are what you are looking for when planting tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, green beans and the rest of the delicious crops.
We have nearly every single plant mentioned in this article. Although we do plant established cucumbers, squash, beans and other things that vine, we choose to plant seeds in weekly intervals so we have continuous harvest all summer (instead of a bumper crop all at once)
FEED YOUR PLANTS, NOT YOUR SEEDS. once the seeds have sprouted, that is a great time to feed. Never feed a seed! Fertilizer is important, I can't stress that enough. It doesn't really matter what you choose- either water soluble or granulated, slow release or quick acting. Food is essential until the fruit is setting. Once the fruit starts emerging on a tomato plant, you don't have to feed much anymore.
I don't want to scare off any new gardeners with a lot of words to read. Try a few things. Make sure your soil is soft enough for roots to grow
Plant your garden in full sun
Pick your veggies often. Beans, for example will give you 3 harvests on one plant. If you don't pick your beans, they'll think you don't love them and stop producing.
Make sure your container is large enough for the plants to grow.
Water them constantly. Avoid dry spells that make your plants wilt excessively ... and then keep them soaked to the core for the next two weeks because you feel guilty. We don't mind a little wilting. It's the plant telling you it's thirsty. Water them really well- then let them dry out (somewhat) again. Wet soil that never drains or is allowed to dry out is not a good thing.

Why Anti-COVID-19 Vaccines Campaigns Should be Dismissed
Dr Jamilu Nikau
Wednesday, 23 December 2020
The development of safe and effective vaccines against the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS COV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19 is arguably the most cheering news of the year. These vaccines provide an exit from the nightmares of the pandemic that so far killed over 1.7 million people and many more of its survivors suffering from long-term effects with accompanying crushing socioeconomic disruptions in all corners of the world.
But the euphoria of the vaccines' efficacy and subsequent approval by some regulatory bodies is seriously threatened by unfounded messages against the virus and the new vaccines. Fake information,mostly via social media, has distorted public reactions since the onset of the pandemic. This harmful information against almost every facet of COVID-19 ranging from whether the virus is natural or not, the role of 5G network in its transmission, inflation of infection figures for monetary gains, harmful effects of face masks, unsubstantiated effectiveness of some drugs etc. As a result, public health authorities' efforts to control the virus have been seriously hampered despite the inability of perpetrators and disseminators of false information to substantiate their claims.
Conspiracy theorists have particularly target vaccines against COVID-19 even before the commencement of many clinical trials. Some of the falsehood shared include some people, notably Bill Gates is striving to amass monetary benefits from its sales; microchips will be inserted into all persons that will be vaccinated; the vaccines were hastily approved; the RNA used in the vaccine will incorporate into beneficiary's gene, some people died or developed severe side effects after administration etc. It is pertinent to examine all these claims critically and clear all misconceptions.
Regarding the claims that the virus is human-made because some people stand to benefit from it; genetic experts clearly described its development's evolutionary pathway. Theseshould remove any doubts about its origin. It is illogical to think Bill Gates, a known philanthropist that retired from the multi-billion-dollar company he founded and donating a large portion of his fortune to the fight against diseases like polio, malaria, pneumonia, and many others will create this dangerous situation for monetary benefit. He would have also done a very poor job if the world population's reduction is his goal as asserted by some people since the virus has killed just 0.0002% of the human population in one year, and we seem to have a tool to control it. Moreover, the virus kills mainly elderly who are not in their reproductive years and will ordinarily die within a few years anyway.
No one couldcoherently explain how a microchip can be injected into humans via vaccination to monitor us; this is Hollywood script taken too far. If some powers want to monitor us at all, our mobile phones are enough to do this job. We willingly give out who we communicate with, how often we interact with our contacts and the content of our communications to governments via mobile networks. Our smartphones also have details of our bank transactions and places we visit. Why will someone put chips to monitor us if he can get much more information in the devices in our pockets?
Advancement in technology and willingness of governments/philanthropists to pour in resources to find solutions to the pandemic enabled scientists to develop vaccines in-record time. This was also facilitated by the rapid spread of the virus that fast-tracked observation of outcomes among volunteers enrolled in clinical trials; this process would have otherwise taken many years to notice a difference among people given the real vaccine and placebo during trials. In all stages of the vaccine developments, independent experts rigorously examined all the information to ensure all steps meet standards. Consequently, the vaccine'sapproval was not rushed as claimed by people with a poor understanding of the processes.
Another claim against the vaccine is that the RNA in the vaccine will incorporate into one's genetic makeup after vaccination. This is not true. The genetic information we manifest is in our DNA, whereas RNA's role is to instruct our body to covert DNA message into substances our body manufacture. As such, the COVID-19 RNA vaccines will just instruct our defence mechanism to mobilise against the virus and will not have the ability to alter our genetic architecture. The RNA in the vaccine will self-destruct after executing its job just like a banana feel will get absorbed into the soil after a few days.
Regarding side effects, COVID-19 vaccines like any drugs or vaccines will undoubtedly have some untoward effects. However, ten of thousands trial volunteers have been followed up to establish most of the effects are harmless; the same process being used in all vaccines development with no shortcuts. Rumours that some trial volunteers died after administration of the vaccine are false. Many anti-vaxxers are using a short video clip of nurse in Tennessee, United States, that collapsed shortly after receiving COVID-19 vaccine. What they did not share is that she recovered shortly thereafter and explained that she has a medical condition that made her to faint when she feels pain. This single isolated event should not be used to deter people from getting vaccinated. The transparent manner with which the vaccine is being developed and deployed guarantees communication of any critical information, example persons with allergies were advised not to receive the vaccine due to some observed higher occurrence of adverse reaction among them.
In conclusion, vaccination is the fastest way of reducing deaths and ultimately ending the pandemic. Governments and scientists globally ensured only safe and effective vaccines were approved. The public should disregard information from unknown sources on COVID-19, some of the merchants of fake news are the ones with hidden agendas, or they just crave cheap popularity. Authorities should step up campaigns against people sharing inaccurate information and block them from reaching the public and as well as encourage individuals to follow only evidence-based recommendations. Members of the public should get information on the disease from trusted sources like the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), WHO and reputable news platforms.

Revered house music producers Tchami and AC Slater have gathered the best artists from their respective record labels in a bass house showcase, Confessions X Night Bass: The Album. The compilation features the brightest stars in both the Night Bass and Confession constellations.
The joint venture is careful in its approach not to outdo the other, instead mixing both collectives in an obscure way. Zooming in on the similarities between the two house music imprints, the album is cohesive and ultimately delivers a powerful collection of records ready for the dance floor.
Speaking of the dance floor, the introductory track is a piercing bullet of a record, targeting the disco. Featuring vocals by Kate Wild, “Only One” is the brainchild of Tchami and AC Slater, who haven’t collaborated on a song since “Dealer” in 2017. Of course, their joint debut in 2015’s “Missing You” was a staple in both of their live performances, but “Only One” deserves more than a coveted spot in future sets.
From there, the album picks up steam, featuring Marten Hørger and BRANDON’s “Let’s Try It” followed by “Need You,” a lively tune from seductive, pink-haired Night Bass debutant Blossom.
Switching from the sultry vocals in “Need You,” the call to BIJOU’s G-House can be heard loud and clear in “Bless Up” (featuring Rick Hyde) with the captivating line, “…a Tesla.” The song is a highlight on the album, if only for the fact that the rapping breaks the mold of the house-driven vocal samples found on the 10 tracks.
As the back half of the album begins to take shape, Nostalgix’ “Snitches” acts as a great transition from the cuts that spotlight vocalists, to the production-heavy bangers that book the compilation. Tracks like Shift K3Y’s “Energy”, Capozzi’s “Satisfy Me” and MASTERIA’s “Long Time” showcase the ingenuity within the two imprints and advance the bass house genre.
The biggest bang of all, however, comes in the form of Taiki Nulight’s “Machine Gun Dub”. A mastermind of all things dub, the British producer combines raw sound design with grubby beats in what is sure to become a monster on the festival circuit.
Shutting down the record and reviving a mainstay of Confession is Habstrakt’s reworking of Tchami’s “After Life” with Stacey Barthe. The respected 2015 track retains parts of its memorable lines before being turned upside down and spiraling out of control. It’s a valiant effort that finally pays off for Habstrakt, and a satisfying conclusion to a blitz of talent from two esteemed dance labels.
The album’s release coincides with the launch of a joint North American tour between Night Bass and Confession. The 11-city romp begins in Denver, stopping in San Francisco, Chicago, and Miami, among others, before culminating in Washington, DC. For tickets and tour dates, go here.

US Tourists Face Dilemma when Traveling to St. Maarten
Inbound U.S. flights to Princess Juliana Airport in St. Maarten are scheduled to begin on Aug. 1, but U.S. tourists will not be permitted to cross the border from Dutch St. Maarten into French St. Martin until further notice, Travel Weekly reported.
Officials in St. Martin had earlier warned that due to the rise in Covid-19 cases in the U.S., the French border would close if the airport reopened to U.S. travelers.
Crossings to the French side will be limited to those traveling from the U.S. for professional or medical reasons.
Travelers from France, the Schengen Area of Europe and countries on the safe list will be allowed to enter St. Martin with proof of an airline ticket, a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours of arrival and a completed health declaration; those are the same documents required by all visitors arriving in St. Maarten

The lawsuit accuses Mr Zuckerberg, Facebook and several banks led by Morgan Stanley of hiding the company's weakened growth forecasts ahead of its $16bn initial public offering.
The defendants are claimed to have concealed from investors during the IPO marketing process "a severe and pronounced reduction" in Facebook revenue growth forecasts.
The news comes as Morgan Stanley, the bank in charge of the IPO, is being investigated over possible securites fraud.
The US bank has been accused of failing to warn smaller investors of a more negative assessment of Facebook's future profits.
It is claimed that several major investors had been pre-warned that a Morgan Stanley analyst had cut the amount of money he expected Facebook to make.
The advance notice allowed the investors to either avoid the stock completely or sell immediately after they floated at $38.
Facebook shares opened up 1.35pc at $31.42 on Wednesday. Within five minutes they were up 3.6pc. Prior to Wednesday they had fallen every day since the flotation last Friday, closing at $31 on Tuesday.
"The allegations, if true, are a matter of regulatory concern," said Rick Ketchum, the head of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Mary Schapiro, head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said: “There is a lot of reason to have confidence in our markets and the integrity of how they operate, but there are issues we need to look at specifically with regard to Facebook.”
It was reported that Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt cut his estimate for Facebook’s revenue this year to $4.85bn (£3.1bn) from a previous figure of more than $5bn, adding that the business faced multiple problems.
He claimed that growth in revenues could be hit by the increase in the use of mobile devices to look at Facebook, a medium the company’s advertising system has so far failed to crack.
William Gavin, the securities regulator for Massachusetts, issued the bank with subpoenas.
It comes amid accusations Morgan Stanley valued Facebook too aggressively.
"If the goal of the underwriters was not to leave a penny on the table, then it was a success," said Brian Wieser, an analyst at Pivotal Reserch Group. "But if it was to ensure that the shares had a favourable market to trade in, then it wasn't."
"What they [the underwriters] succeeded in doing was milking market sentiment," said Andrew Caldwell, a valuations partner at BDO. "You've got a problem that if you price it high, you've got nowhere else to go."
As the shares started to fall after the float last Friday, Morgan Stanley was forced buy up stock to support the company's value above the $38 listing price. The shares hit the float price a number of times during the day's trade, but didn't fall through it.
The slump has left some unsurprised. "We find Facebook's current valuation unappealing," said Richard Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG, said. Many analysts have not issued research on the company as they were involved in its IPO.
Although Morgan Stanley has not revealed how much it spent propping up the share price it is possible that the mis-pricing could have wiped out almost all of the banks fees from the deal.
The investment bank, as the lead underwriter, is likely to have received the lion's share of the $176m (£111m) in fees bankers charged for the float. However, 33 Wall Street banks were also in on the listing including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
Morgan Stanley said IPO procedures used were “in compliance with all applicable regulations”.
“After Facebook released a revised S-1 [IPO] filing on May 9 providing additional guidance with respect to business trends, a copy of the amendment was forwarded to all of MS’s institutional and retail investors and the amendment was widely publicised in the press at the time,” the bank said.
“In response to the information about business trends, a significant number of research analysts in the syndicate who were participating in investor education reduced their earnings views to reflect their estimate of the impact of the new information. These revised views were taken into account in the pricing of the IPO.“
Nasdaq was also left with egg on its face after technical glitches delayed the start of trade in the biggest IPO the bourse has ever seen. The exchange has earmarked $13m to cover bad trades, which it blames on faulty software.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has suspended the payment of the new electricity tariffs earlier scheduled to take off today, April 1, for at least three months because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic which has led to a shutdown of most economic activities in the country.
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had earlier issued the “December 2019 Minor Review of MYTO 2015 and Minimum Remittance Order for the Year 2020” to all DisCos which was expected to take effect from 1 April 2020.
The commission and other industry players are, however, concerned that a review of tariffs at a time like this would worsen the situation of the average Nigerian, majority of whom are daily wage earners who cannot earn any income, particularly with the lockdown in FCT, Lagos and Ogun states.
According to NERC, the delay will give them a chance to negotiate and get commitments from the DisCos for service level improvements which must be commensurate with the extent of the planned tariff increase. The issue of a hike in electricity tariff has been a contentious issue for some years now.
In 2015, NERC tried to implement cost-reflective tariffs proposing a 45% hike, following which labour unions took it to court. Consequently, tariff hike plans have been on hold since then. The argument by those against a hike was that, given persistent inflationary pressures on households and shrinking consumer wallets, it would have been unreasonable to introduce tariff hikes.
On the other side of the divide, many also argue that they will like to see an improvement in power supply to households before they can agree to further tariff hikes.
While we agree totally with the suspension of any tariff hike considering current conditions, we remain staunch proponents of cost-reflective tariffs, as we believe low tariffs have a ripple effect on the entire value chain and in turn the development of the power sector. Accordingly, we believe the implementation of tariffs that reflect market conditions will be a major boost towards improving electricity supply in the country.
Although revised tariffs are scheduled to take effect from July, we understand that the revised tariffs are still not cost-reflective and require the government to pay the shortfall to the DisCos.

PARIS: Qatar Holding, an investment vehicle of the Gulf state’s government, has raised its stake in French media-to-aerospace conglomerate Lagardere to over 10 percent, market regulator AMF said on Thursday.
The move appeared to make the emirate the largest stakeholder in Lagardere, which competes with Pearson Plc and Bertelsmann AG in radio and book publishing.
AMF said Qatar Holding had informed it earlier on Thursday of its accumulation of 13.2 million shares in Lagardere, or 10.1 percent of its capital.
Qatar Holding is a unit of the Qatar Investment Authority, the emirate’s sovereign wealth fund, which previously held 9.97 million shares, or 7.6 percent of Lagardere’s capital.
The move, which gives the investment vehicle a 7.9 percent voting rights stake, was carried out through off-market purchases, the regulator said.
Qatar has been a staunch supporter of Arnaud Lagardere even as some shareholders have assailed the chief executive’s strategy for the company his father founded. –Additional reporting by Andrew Hammond

With all the talk swirling around the Michigan Wolverines football program, you'd think it was a foregone conclusion that athletic director David Brandon is going to fire head coach Rich Rodriguez and replace him with Stanford miracle worker Jim Harbaugh.
After all, Rich Rod hasn't exactly succeeded at the helm in Ann Arbor, with the 2011 Gator Bowl marking the Wolverines' first trip to a bowl game during his tenure.
Similarly, the Maize and Blue fans and boosters do not seem intent on embracing Rodriguez as their guy, both for his lack of winning and his insistence of a spread offense at a school known for playing smash mouth football.
Oh, and Brandon didn't hire him, so it's not as though the Michigan AD would have any sentimental qualms with cutting Rodriguez loose and starting over again.
Furthermore, Harbaugh would seem to make perfect sense as Rodriguez's replacement.
For one, Harbaugh is a Michigan man, a "Golden Boy" who spent three years as the starting quarterback under legendary coach Bo Schembechler while leading the Wolverines to the Fiesta Bowl in 1986 and the Rose Bowl in 1987.
If that weren't enough, Harbaugh has proven himself to be a rather capable head coach, leading Stanford to the first 11-win season in school history in his fourth year in Palo Alto.
Unfortunately for U-M fans, Harbaugh is a tough nut to crack and has yet to show signs that he would jump at the opportunity to restore his alma mater to its former glory.
With that in mind, let's have a look at the top 10 candidates for the Michigan job should Rodriguez get his walking papers and Harbaugh turn down one of the premiere coaching jobs in college football.

Please- To: Whom it may Concern
I’ll give up my pride
For a moment of peace,
But you damage my mind
With far too much ease.
I know I shouldn’t let it slide,
But I need the pain to release…
See what you’re doing to your wife-
What you are doing to our life…
Before you end up alone, in strife.

Gas prices down slightly in Charlotte, nationwide
Send this to a friend
The price of gasoline in the Charlotte area and nationwide has dropped slightly for a second consecutive week, but prices remain above month-ago levels, according to AAA Carolinas.
The average local price today is $3.27 per gallon for regular unleaded, down from $3.28 a week ago, AAA says. The Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill market’s average was $3.21 a month ago.
The statewide average price in North Carolina is $3.30 per gallon, essentially unchanged from the week-ago average after a dip of less than one penny. The state’s average a month ago was $3.24.
South Carolina has an average today of $3.09 per gallon, down from $3.10 a week ago but up from $3.07 a month ago.
The national average is $3.28 per gallon for regular unleaded, down from $3.31 a week ago but up from $3.24 a month ago.
Prices in some areas have increased due to refinery issues caused by extremely cold weather, AAA says in its latest Fuel Gauge Report. But the low temperatures have also decreased demand for gasoline, which could put some downward pressure on prices. However, the decline in prices in most states during the past two weeks has been minimal.
As previously reported, gasoline prices in the Charlotte area and throughout the Carolinas began the new year on the rise. That was after drivers saw the lowest average prices in three years in 2013, according to AAA.
Overall, gasoline prices are expected to average slightly less in 2014 as refineries continue to expand production capacity and increasingly rely on North American crude oil, AAA previously said. Unexpected global events or significant economic growth could result in higher prices.

Factory vs Aftermarket
In internal combustion engine with pistons, the camshaft is used to operate valves. It then consists of a cylindrical rod running the length of the cylinder bank with a number of oblong lobes protruding from it, one for each valve. The cam lobes force the valves open by pressing on the valve, or on some intermediate mechanism as they rotate
Camshafts can be made out of several types of material. These include:
Chilled iron castings: this is a good choice for high volume production. A chilled iron camshaft has a resistance against wear because the camshaft lobes have been chilled, generally making them harder. When making chilled iron castings, other elements are added to the iron before casting to make the material more suitable for its application.
Billet Steel: When a high quality camshaft is required, engine builders and camshaft manufacturers choose to make the camshaft from steel billet. This method is also used for low volume production. This is a much more time consuming process, and is generally more expensive than other methods. However the finished product is far superior.
Factory camshafts have smooth idling and economy, these cam lobes are for smooth running cars and daily use for quiet running motors . Factory cams are designed to open the intake valve 6 degrees before piston hits TDC and shuts it just before 5 degrees after approx ,and exhaust opens 15 degrees before piston hits BDC and shuts it at TDC .this timing is real basic and will only make your car run smooth but without performance.
Aftermarket timing have rough idling timing and designed for high power kick at high rpm , those camshaft are built for racing or high performance. There is different type of racing camshafts , these cams are designed to open the intake valve 40 degrees before tdc and close it 60 degrees after BDC , exhaust will start opening at 50 degrees before BDC and be shut at 6 degrees after tdc,this timing will only perform good at high rpm and be really rough when the engine is at idle speed
TYPES OF CAMSHAFT SETUPS
ROLLIN' THUNDER CAMSHAFTS
Rollin' Thunder camshafts are designed to improve horsepower and torque, produce a great sounding performance idle and provide excellent vacuum at idle to support power accessories. Rollin' Thunder camshafts feature more aggressive lift profiles than possible with conventional flat-tappet hydraulic cams, without excessive valve overlap that can compromise low rpm drivability...
TORKER CAMSHAFT & LIFTERS
Designed to work with Torker II manifolds for performance from 2500 to 6500 rpm, these camshafts are ideal for high-performance street, drag or marine applications. Torker-Plus cams have a slightly rough idle and are not suitable for trucks or towing applications. Hydraulic flat tappet lifters are included with each camshaft...
Camshaft performance spec types
Performance Level 1 Level 1 indicates a good stock replacement camshaft. These profiles are designed to enhance throttle response and low end torque in vans, trucks, passenger cars and mild marine applications while delivering fuel efficient motoring. High vacuum, smooth idle and maximum efficiency are characteristics of these cams. Stock or small cfm carburetor, small diameter tube headers and dual exhaust are recommended for maximum benefit. Intended for stock or near-stock engines and drive trains, 8.5:1 compression, 2.70 to 3.25 ring and pinion, automatic transmission with stock converter or four-speed manual transmission.
Performance Level 2 Level 2 profiles are for individuals that require more power and an extended rpm range. Works well with stock or near-stock engines and drive trains in a lightly modified street engine. These camshafts provide excellent low end and mid-range power for spirited street, off road driving and mild marine applications. Modifications that should accompany installation of these cams include small diameter tube headers, low restriction dual exhaust, aftermarket manifold, increased cfm carburetor and reworked or performance ignition. Increased compression (9.5:1) is recommended for maximum output. Aftermarket torque converter with slightly higher stall speed is recommended because stock factory converters do not allow the engine to provide adequate idle speed and off idle performance. These camshafts work well with four-speed manual transmission.
Performance Level 3 Level 3 camshafts are designed for moderately modified engines. Intended for performance hot street/strip and performance marine applications, these profiles have a moderate lope at idle and offer an extended rpm range with emphasis on upper bottom to top end power and a strong mid-range. These higher lift, longer duration camshafts demand close attention to rear end gearing and tire diameter combinations. The secret here is to pick a ring and pinion gear set and tire diameter that keeps the engine in its optimum rpm power range. These profiles perform well with four-speed manual transmissions or automatic transmissions if a high stall torque converter is employed. Headers, dual exhaust, larger than stock carburetor, performance manifold and increased compression (9.5:1 to 10.5:1) are required. Mild porting and larger valves will improve performance.
Performance Level 4 Level 4 camshafts are designed for heavily modified engines. These camshaft have a definite lope at idle and are best suited for dual purpose hot street/drag strip, hot marine or oval track applications. These grinds exhibit strong mid-range to top end torque and horsepower. Headers, dual exhaust, large cfm carburetor, performance ignition and increased compression of 10.25:1 and above are required. Cylinder head modifications would be beneficial. Use with standard manual transmission or automatic with high stall torque converter. Again, close attention to proper ring and pinion and tire diameter selection is imperative.
Performance Level 5 Level 5 camshafts are designed for fully prepared, high compression, all-out racing engines and chassis. Extensive cylinder head modification, bigger valves, lightweight valve train, titanium valves, maximum flow carburetion or fuel injection, racing gas, alky or nitro, magneto or electronic ignition, performance rod and crank assembly and increased engine clearances are required for maximum benefit.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Illinois man who pleaded guilty to charges of distribution and receipt of child pornography was sentenced in federal court yesterday to 20 years in prison, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Randy D. Winslow, 42, of Tilton, Ill., was using the screen name "lonelyfunman" when he began an on-line chat with someone who offered to make a 5-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy available to him for sexual abuse if he traveled to Alaska.
Winslow was, in fact, chatting with an undercover ICE agent. During one of their on-line conversations, he sent child pornography to the agent and admitted that he had more "kiddie porn" available to trade.
Winslow had made plans to relocate to Alaska, quitting his job at Caterpillar, Inc., where he worked on the assembly line.
"This sentence sends a strong signal to anyone who would even consider exploiting children in this manner," said Leigh Winchell, special agent in charge of ICE's Office of Investigations that oversees Alaska. "ICE will continue to use its investigative resources to prevent the exploitation of the most vulnerable members of our society - our children."
Upon completion of Winslow's prison term, he is subject to ten years of supervised release.
The case of Winslow is part of Operation Predator, a comprehensive ICE initiative aimed at those who prey on children, including human traffickers, international sex tourists, Internet pornographers, and foreign national predators whose crimes make them deportable. Since the initiative was launched in July of 2003, there have been more than 11,000 individuals arrested nationwide.
Additional information about Operation Predator is available on the Web at www.ice.gov. ICE encourages the reporting of suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

It is commonly accepted that the kappa-opioid receptors and their endogenous ligands, dynorphins, produce a dysphoric state and therefore may be responsible for avoidance of alcohol. When this method is used the so-called Honolulu method of somatic cell nuclear transfer [SCNT]the donor nuclei readily and completely condense within the enucleated metaphase II-arrested oocytes, which contain high levels of M-phase-promoting factor MPF.

By contrast, among the many laboratory strains that are known or suspected to stem from the pet mouse trade, there is little interstrain variation, most strains having the "old inbred" type of domesticus mtDNA, whose frequency in the wild mice examined is low, about 0.

Introduction: How to Print Colour to a Fishing Lure
Painting lures is much easier if you don't know how. I dont, but I have a printer that can.
Here I'll be describing how to get the most out of your normal old 2D printer by asking it to make handmade fishing lures, instead of whatever it is you do with your printer at the moment. I wont be describing the carving of the blank or adding a bib and wire loops. That would run to 50 pages or so.
You can buy bibs, tow points, and screw in wire loops from good tackle stores, and glue them in place, or you can make them yourself with wire and bits of plastic.
This instructable will be all about adding professional colour to your lures.
Step 1: You Will Need...
-A sheet of paper
-A lure blank (you can use a bit of a tree and make it look a bit more like a lure than it did before, or just buy one)
-Some wood glue
-Some marine grade varnish (or two part epoxy clear coat. (I'll be using varnish))
-Fine grade sandpaper
This will be a rather plain example here so you can see how good it will look, even though it wont be too complicated. I'll also keep it plain so as not to distract from the method.
I'll not be too fussed about any minor errors. Seeing some errors and seeing just how little they matter on the finished lure gave me a stack of confidence, and allowed me to tackle more complex designs and lure shapes.
If you make one it will look great, and be really easy.
Step 2: The Design
I created this in Gimp. Feel free to print my design and give it a try, but you may also want to go a bit further and design your own. A good free program is Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program). You can download Gimp here . I happen to use Linux (also free) but there is a download for everyone regardless of what operating system you use.
As a rough guide, I started from the background and worked my way to the foreground detail like the eyes.
By starting from the background, it's easy to blur the bits that need blurring without messing with the bits you want to stay focused and sharp.
I also only created the left hand side, then copied, pasted, and flipped it to create a matching right hand side.
Most graphics programs also have some nice filters that do things like add tiles or meshes to your work that can be good for simulating scales. I used a random speckle filter on this one.
I also put a name on mine in the first black strip under the eyes, but I put this pic up without the name in case you want to print my design and put your own name on it. If you add a name, make sure you add it towards the top of the strip so it will be displayed properly. I explain later, so read on.
Step 3: The Lure Blank
Start with a hand carved wooden lure with a slot cut for a bib, and holes drilled for the rear and belly hook hang points.
I wont go into the mounting of the tow points and hook points in this instructable. Also the bib construction will have to be for another day as it would be too long to take it all in.
Bib's and the hang points (screw in wire loops etc) can all be bought online and at decent tackle stores.
I've carved lure bodies like this one before from short lengths of dowel, but from memory this was a birch tree I trimmed down to a more manageble size. Typically I'll start with a roughed out shape, and then use a bench grinder to shape the rest. Perhaps finishing it off with a file, then some fine sandpaper. DONT FORGET SAFTEY GLASSES, A DUST MASK, AND SOME GLOVES! Bench grinders bite!
At this stage its best to seal your lure with a wood sealing product to make it water proof in case the lacquer coats get cracked or chipped. To seal you can simply dip your lure by putting a toothpick into the hole drilled for the rear tow point eyelet.
It's also worth drawing a center line down the back and belly to aid in keeping everything inline. This will make more sense once you've read through this instructable.
Step 4: Measuring Up
Take your printout and make sure you have some points that are the same on each side so you can fold it and be certain the image will line up on both sides.
Fold the printed design in half along the lure's spine and crease it firmly.
Measure your lure, and make sure you have around one third more lure design than lure. We will be cutting the design into strips and laying them over a curved lure, so some overlap will be required.
I'm using around 120 mm of lure design for my 90mm lure.
Trim any excess. (In my case I cut at the end of the ruler). If you were making a lot of this one design you can edit your image so its cut to the correct size to save ink. Otherwise it's a good idea to leave some excess, because a hand carved lure doesnt always end the length you originally imagined. But that could just be me.
Step 5: Strips and Stripes
The next step is to cut a strip off the main image in preparation for glueing to the lure blank.
It's best to only cut the strip you are working on rather than cutting them all right away. Once cut, they all look the same to some degree, and it can get a little confusing.
I tend to cut my strip around 15mm wide for a lure like this, but it will vary depending on the size and shape. The greater the curve, the thinner the strip, because paper doesn't like bending in more than one direction at a time.
The strips will be glued around the lure until it 's covered.
It's worth noting at this stage that there will be some overlap with each new strip being glued over the edge of the last. This means that if there is a pattern on your lure, you may need to take it into account when deciding where to cut each strip. With a striped design like this one, I found its best to pick a spot so that your cut goes through the tip of each stripe. The main thing is to cut at the same place relative to the stripe so that as each one is laid down, the overlapping makes for a desirable design.
But it doesnt really matter, it will look great.
Step 6: Decoupage
Take note of the arrows on the side of the graphic, to be sure the front is to the front. It can look a little odd if you mix up the direction, especially on a lure design like this where it gets thicker at the front.
Starting at the tail end, lay the strip over the back of the lure so that it can wrap around to the underside. Use the crease in the center of the design to line up with the line you drew on the back of the lure. Bring it around to pinch together at the underside, aligning the meeting of the two ends of the strip with the line you drew on the belly.
Bend the joined strips to one side and crease the paper.
Then bend the other way and crease again.
Straighten the strip again so it stands straight out from the lure, and cut the excess off. Cut it so that it is as closely cropped to the belly of the lure as you can. Dont worry too much about getting it super close because it wont matter.
Small adjustment can be made when you press down the ragged bits from the cutting away of the excess. By pushing the seam down and to a side, you can adjust for any slight alignment error.
Don't worry if it looks a bit rough. You will be amazed at the final result
Step 7: More Decoupage
To check against any secret lure making super powers I might have accidentally picked up, I got my mum to make one and it was perfect the first time with only these instructions to follow. She had never made a lure before, or anything like it.
Keep cutting and adding strips.
Remember to cut through the tip of any stripe on your design, or at least keep cutting at the same point each time.
The amount of overlap will depend on the shape of your lure. The reason we are doing this in strips rather than all in one piece is because the strips, and their overlap, adjust for the shape and prevent creases. It also adds a lot to the finished product to have the strips turn into stripes.
It's now possible to see this thing taking shape.
Most of the things you might think are going to be flaws or compromises will in fact turn out to be features.
Things like the overlaps, the seams, and even fingerprints of glue, will be seen in a very different light as soon as we add some gloss coats to this beastie.
If you have added a name, make sure you remember the overlap.
Make sure the name is towards the bottom of it's strip. Otherwise the one after it will overlap the name and cover it.
This is the strip before the one with the name on it.
Note the stripe pattern, even though its cut, is still repeating nicely.
Step 8: Tricky Front
I leave the eye strip and skip to the one after the eyes.
The one after the eye strip, the front most strip, can get a little distorted because it has to bend in too many directions. Leaving the eye strip until last allows some room for error as the eye strip can cover any gaps and wrinkles.
This is a view of the lure looking straight at the front. Adding a flat piece of paper to a surface curved in two directions is difficult, so I cut a V out of the center to allow for the excess paper and prevent wrinkles.
Don't be too fussed if there is a gap or some bare wood visible. Don't worry if there are creases you cant get out, tears in the paper or anything else. If something goes wrong here you can cut out a scrap of paper and add it, you can colour it in with a marker, or do nothing.
For one thing, fish don't look at this end so much, because they tend to be chasing it from behind.
But more importantly, it's going to look amazing in the end. Trust me.
Step 9: Organic Awesomeness
Glue on the eye strip making sure it overlaps everything underneath except the bib slot.
Make sure the actual eyes are not going to be dissected by the bib when it finally gets mounted in place.
At this stage go over your lure and use a marker to add some colour to anywhere you can see bare wood. Trying to cover something like the tail end with paper makes more mess than it's worth.
This is one of those features I promised. On the finished product it will add some nice natural qualities to the look of this lure.
I think it already looks organic. It reminds me of a moth or shrimp.
Step 10: Clear Coat
The stick will also allow you to keep the lure off the ground when you dry it, or even mount it in some kind of rotating thing to make the coat dry more evenly. I made a rotating thing with an old photocopier fan and gearbox with some corks mounted on the spindle to allow the toothpicks to be stuck into it. The slow rotation helps get an even finish, because a rolling lure gathers no drips. The first few I made worked well just by twirling them between my fingers until the drips stopped forming. If you make a motorised twirly thing, aim for around thirty revolutions per minute. Sutable electric motors with little gearboxes can be bought from hobby or electronics stores for not much.
Dip the lure into a pot of varnish. I bought marine grade timber varnish, but whatever you have at hand is worth a try. Two part epoxies are the strongest finish for a lure but I think this product I'm using is a good place to start.
The secret to a great finish is to get as thin a coat as you can, and do multiple coats.
One important thing to do when dipping is to lift the work out very slowly. I take 30 seconds or more to lift the lure out of the varnish. This makes for a much thinner coat, and a smoother coat. Any air bubbles in the varnish follow the slow, outgoing tide and stay in the varnish rather than being left behind on the lure.
Leave your lure to dry completely between each coat. This might take a few days depending on your climate. Check the packaging on whatever clear coat you are using for drying times.
A light sanding between coats is a good idea to remove whatever bugs may have decided to live on your lure whilst it dried.
Remember a rolling lure gathers no drips.
Step 11: The Finish
In spite of the number of times I may have mentioned you needn't worry about being fussy, the final finish largely depends on how careful you are with the dipping and sanding. If I tried to make a perfect lure, I wouldn't want to risk actually using it, so some compromise is required. I think fingerprints and seams add to the final appeal of the finished lure, but I can see why some might want to take a little more pride in the finish.
Four coats is probably a good idea if you want it to last.
Bibs, tow points, and hang points for hooks can all be bought from good tackle stores and glued in place, or you can make them yourself with wire and bits of plastic.
Thanks for reading!

Probably one of the rarest albums that i have in my collection is the OST of Bandit Queen. Imho Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan at his soulful best. A slight hint of the flute and the sounds of the desert wind add to the mesmerising rendition. My personal favourite…”Saware, Tere Ben Jiya Jaye Naa”. Probably the last time i heard sing something from this album was when Rahul Saxena sang..”More saiyyan to hain pardes”..in one of the initial rounds of Indian Idol. Yep..the bug has bitten me too. Every week I would tune in..watch some my favourite singers bow out…promise myself that I’ll never vote again…and then religiously tune in next week. My favourites were Harish, Prajakta, Rahul S and Aditi. I hated Rahul Vaidya for his tantrums..but then could’nt hold back my vote after he sang “Deewana” like a dream. Amit Sana’s version of “Zindagi mein koi kabhi rahe na rabba” and “Kacche Dhage” made me vote for him twice over. I was hoping Prajakta and Rahul Vaidya would make it as the top two..but their tender age somehow did’nt feel right for the job..or rather the perks that came with it. My topmost favourite was Harish…but he always seemed to let down at the wrong moment. If he had only sung “Tanha Dil” the way he sang on the day of his last performance. [big sigh]. Rahul Saxena chose all the odd songs out of the bunch. Well he did make me dig out and listen to the originals of a couple of them..but then its too late now.
Its the big day today. Armed with my mobile phone…I’ll be following the action pretty closely. May the best man win. Abhijit .. Amit.

Cigarette makers divided over nicotine content notice on packs
New Delhi , Nov. 25
THE Health Ministry is working on a set of rules for the tobacco industry that will specify the content and packaging rules for tobacco products. Under this head, the issue of nicotine presence in cigarettes and beedis has become a contentious one, with the industry divided on it.
While the Ministry is in favour of a blanket ban on smoking without specifying the ingredients or the maximum permissible limits of various substances, a section of the cigarette and beedi manufacturers are of the opinion that there should be a distinction between those products containing nicotine and those without the addictive ingredient.
According to sources in the Health Ministry, "We are not in favour of differentiating between the two, but feel that smoking should be prohibited. However, we have received divergent views from the industry and a decision will be taken after consultations are complete."
"The new breed of nicotine-free beedis and cigarettes are, in no way, better than normal cigarettes. While nicotine is only an addictive, the reduction of nicotine levels alone does nothing to lower levels of tar, carcinogenic substances, carbon monoxide and other harmful substances found in them," a tobacco industry player said.
The industry also pointed out that there is no monitoring of the unorganised sector, which mainly consists of small beedi manufacturers. An official from a cigarette company said that the organised sector of the tobacco industry is already bearing the brunt of the excise duty regime, while the unorganised portion of the industry has been let off the hook.
"In light of the unequal treatment between the two sectors, the Government needs to formulate uniform regulations when it comes to treating cigarettes with tobacco content, whether they are nicotine-free or not," the official said.
Internationally too, for the purpose of quality control, the levels of harmful compounds such as nicotine and tar in products of tobacco burning are controlled. For instance, cigarettes termed as `light' have about 7-11 mg/cigarette of tar while `superlights' contain less than 7 mg/cigarette. In the US too, there is an ongoing debate on the health safety claims of manufacturers hawking "safer cigarettes".
A committee comprising Government officials, representatives from the industry and consumer groups had been set up to frame rules to The Cigarettes & Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003.
Besides this, the committee is also in the process of finalising packaging norms for tobacco products to incorporate warning messages and skull-and-bones signs.

Idaho state senator John McGee
It's been said that booze and politics shouldn't mix. Over the weekend, one state senator from Idaho learned the wisdom of those words the hard way.
Things began innocently enough with a round of drinks at a golf club just outside Boise on Saturday night. News reports don't indicate how many rounds followed, but shortly after 2:00am Sunday morning, Republican John McGee -- the youngest elected official in the senate -- toddled out of the clubhouse and eventually stumbled upon a Ford Excursion. At that point, McGee apparently decided he was tired of walking and opted to drive the vehicle home. (This being a quiet, suburban neighborhood, the keys were in the unlocked car.)
Things might've gone okay for McGee, except for the fact that the Excursion had a 20-foot trailer hitched to the back. When he pulled into a driveway to turn the vehicle around, the trailer jacknifed into the home's yard, bring his joyride to an abrupt end. According to a group of children who were up well past their bedtimes, McGee wandered up and down the street a couple of times, then crawled into the back of the Excursion and went to sleep.
When deputies arrived at 3:00am, McGee told them he was en route to Jackpot, Nevada -- just across the border -- but they thought he might prefer a trip downtown. Their suspicions were confirmed when McGee blew an impressive .15 on a breath test, which is about twice Idaho's legal blood alcohol limit of .08. At 4:27am, he was booked with driving under the influence and grand theft.
McGee hasn't yet issued a formal statement about the matter. He's due to be arraigned today.
As a side note, McGee has a history in transportation policy, having served as chair of the senate's Transportation committee. He also led efforts to raise Idaho fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, but like that breathalyzer test, he failed on both counts.
