Jen @ EbonyInkReviews
I'm loving the spring weather here too!! I've never seen a solar eclipse, but that sounds really awesome! I hope you enjoy all your new books :)ReplyDelete
Tracy @ Cornerfolds
We all go through phases with reading. I didn't even read YA at all until a few years ago and then I gravitated towards dystopian and fantasy. The eclipse sounds great, your co-workers need to embrace life and live in the moment..lolReplyDelete
The Truth About jack looks pretty great. Gotta go look it up. :) The Sky is Everywhere looks interesting too. Thanks for the interesting new books!ReplyDelete
We've blue skies down South too and it feels great. The eclipse was a bit of a let down too as we had nothing but cloud that morning so it just got a bit dark and that was it! And now I have to wait for 2026 for the next one :OReplyDelete
I love checking out lots of different genres and it keeps them all fresh for me. YA will always be one of my favs though :) Have a great week and enjoy your books.
I am so jealous about the eclipse! I've always wanted to see one (solar or lunar) but we never get to see them where I live. One day, I hope. It's on my bucket list.ReplyDelete
I keep seeing The Truth About Jack everywhere! I haven't heard any response yet, so I'm curious as to what you'll think of it.
Dreams @ Once Upon A Dream Books
I hope the nice weather hangs around for you for awhile. Looks like you have some good reading ahead!ReplyDelete
The freebies look so good. I always love getting freebies. It's a great way to try some new authors.ReplyDelete
Grace @ Books of Love
I was not a fan of the Fifty Shades books, I didn't think the writing was very good. But I do want to read the Anna Todd series. Looks like you got some good books this week! Thanks for stopping by my Sunday post earlier!ReplyDelete
Wow, tons of great books for you this week! And I am insanely jealous of your nice weather! It has been hovering just around freezing (32 here, 0 for you) all week, and SNOWED 6 inches on the first day of spring. I do not approve. Hope you continue to enjoy nice weather, and all the great new books :)ReplyDelete
Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight
Lucky. You got to see the eclipse. I get excited about that stuff too. My reading taste goes through phases, so I know what you mean. Hope you enjoy your new books.ReplyDelete
I didn't get to see the eclipse, so I'm pretty jealous. I think I might have to try the After series. I saw the audiobook on my libraries' app and I've seen so many people talk about the series. I hope you enjoy your new books!ReplyDelete

I have yet to read a Sylvia Day book. I feel pretty ashamed admitting that!ReplyDelete
I am so jealous that you experienced the solar eclipse and another in 1999. The last one I remember was when I was in 4th grade back in the 80s. I would have been right there with you being over the top excited. So cool! Glad you are reading so many great books and finding new genres to interest you. :)ReplyDelete
A solar eclipse! How exciting! I can't say that I've ever seen one. I'm super curious about The Truth About Jack. Hope you enjoy it!ReplyDelete
So many pretty books! The solar eclipse was a bit disappointing from Europe, but I saw so many awesome pictures!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous23 March 2015 at 01:07
I remember watching the eclipse in 1999 at work, we all went on the roof and celebrated :) But this year, it was so cloudy and grey that we hardly noticed it was getting darker so I'm happy for you you were able to enjoy it. Since I started reviewing on a blog, my tastes have evolved too, change is good ;) Have a great week !ReplyDelete
I just finished book one in the Crossfire Series and loved it, so I can't wait to get the others. Origins looks promising so I got that last week. Enjoy your books!!ReplyDelete
I really liked 50 Shades, I read it a very long time ago and thought that it was a swoony romance... with a little extra LOL :)ReplyDelete
I can't believe I missed that solar ecliipse, I had a reminder in my phone and everything but I got busy at work, looked at the time and it was over already! Oh well...some fantastic books you've got this week. Enjoy!ReplyDelete

Over-the-counter drug literacy a must for tweens and teens
There's so much for parents to talk about with teens heading off to college for the first time.
There's the safe-sex talk, the nutrition talk, the get-enough-sleep talk, the partying talk and the study-hard talk. In between all the talking and the packing and the planning, teaching kids how to safely self-medicate with over-the-counter preparations for colds, headaches and sore muscles might not be on the parental radar.
But it should be. And it should land there well before move-in day.
According to national surveys of parents and sixth-graders, tweens got a failing grade for knowledge about the proper use of OTC medicines. Only about half knew such medicines can be dangerous when improperly used or mixed with other drugs.
On the parent side, about the same number said they didn't believe their kids could effectively understand the drug facts on labels. They also weren't sure whether their offspring are abusing or in danger of abusing such medications recreationally.
Perhaps more surprising: The vast majority of parents said they were not sure whether OTC-related issues were taught in their children's schools.
"Based on many high school health curricula, students entering college have had very little classroom instruction regarding OTC medications," said Joy Greene, assistant dean of experiential education and a pharmacy professor at High Point University in High Point, North Carolina.
"Most of what college students know about OTC products is what they see advertised in the media and what they learn from other people," she said.
Greene and others urge parents to make sure their kids have the confidence and know the importance of consulting a pharmacist when trying to make OTC decisions they can't sort out for themselves in a drug store aisle staring at the crowded shelves.
Chester Goad in Crossville, Tenn., has a 14-year-old son who plays several sports and has already started the OTC drug talk.
"We've had to have a lot of discussions regarding pain, swelling, etc., through the years," he said. "I think parents are worried sometimes about bringing unnecessary attention to OTC medications so they avoid discussing them, or they avoid them altogether whether for philosophical or other reasons."
In Goad's case, "we have always discussed medications, why we might take a particular medication, the different types of medications, why we purchase one kind or another, because we want our son to know ingesting medications is not something to be taken lightly."
The OTC talk should also cover the importance of noting potential side effects, how to follow directions on packaging and — at Goad's house — erring on the side of a lower dose and why.
Modeling how to shop for OTC medications and how to take them when kids are younger is important. Don't wait for that busy period before a teen takes off for college.
"Advertisements seem to encourage taking an OTC for lots of conditions these days, so it's important for kids to understand every medication is serious and could potentially be harmful even if it's over the counter," said Goad, an administrator at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville.
Internet-crazed teens may decide on Dr. Google once they've left home instead of calling a parent or seeking out real-life help from a pharmacist, doctor or nurse. Knowing credible information from the not-so-much online may be difficult, though kids as young as 11 take OTC preparations without adult supervision for minor ailments, according to the FDA.
One quick stop online is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Medicines in My Home program. It includes videos with easy-to-understand details on acetaminophen, for example, along with tips on reading drug labels.
Scholastic Inc. has partnered with the American Association of Poison Control Centers in providing free educational materials online to teachers who want to cover OTC literacy in classrooms of fifth- and sixth-graders, including role-playing activities for students.
Some advocates urge parents to delve into the dangers of abuse and addiction during the OTC drug talk.
"Having suffered the loss of my two younger brothers to drugs and alcohol, I can tell you from personal experience that no drug is spared for that additional high — even over-the-counter drugs, which we as a society mistakenly believe are 'safe,' " said Jon Sundt of San Diego.
He founded a nonprofit organization, Natural High, aimed at inspiring young people to steer clear of OTC meds and other substances for recreational purposes and also providing materials for schools.
"Over-the-counter drugs are one of the most commonly misused drugs among Americans 14 and older," Sundt said. "Over 50% of teens believe that OTC drugs are much safer than illegal drugs: the same teens entering the world of adulthood and self-care as we speak."

This week's MotD theme: Lots of Colors
I present my coloring/painting of this week's Mandala of the Week: Lots of Colors (from Sunday's MotD post). I played with a "lot" of colors! It was fun keeping the colors compartmentalized in the background area and then they became more interesting when I blended them in the "light bulb." How did your coloring turn out?
Inspiration for Today
Today's MotD reminds us to embrace the multi-dimensionality of us all: our interests, beliefs, ideals, passions, backgrounds, cultures…all of it…because when we all come together as one…it's beautiful!
I'm happy to post my colorings however I would really love to share and showcase your colorings here as well. Feel free to send them to me. Or you can post them on my Mandala of the Day Facebook page.
Happy Coloring!
If you would want your mandala or your idea for a mandala to be considered for the "Mandala of the Day", read about how on the Participate page. It's easy! Or recommend one you've seen via my Contact page.

Five of the teams that participated in this year's renewal of the Development Bank of Jamaica's (DBJ) National Business Model Competition (NBMC) for tertiary institutions will represent the country in the 2018 International Business Model Competition (IBMC) in Utah, USA, from May 10 to 11.
Heading the record list of entrants is University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus-based market research entity, Queritel, which topped the six teams participating in the recent NBMC finals at The Knutsford Court Hotel, New Kingston, to emerge as Jamaica's official representative at the IBMC.
Queritel will be joined by first and second runners-up, Eco-Structures and Pneulyfe, representing the UWI and Northern Caribbean University (NCU), respectively.
The UWI's Skolastik Oasis and NCU's Beasc Technology were also invited to participate.
This year's record number of NBMC entrants results from Jamaica securing four of the 12 coveted spaces offered in the IBMC's highly competitive 'At Large Round', a feat never before accomplished.
The DBJ's Jamaica Venture Capital Programme Project Coordinator, Audrey Richards, who coordinates the NBMC, describes this as a "tremendous achievement".
"It endorses the work our universities are doing in building future business leaders. It is an endorsement of the quality of the judges at our competition, and it sends a signal that the work we, the Development Bank of Jamaica though the Jamaica Venture Capital Programme, are doing with our universities and, indeed (towards) the development of a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem, is on the right path," she says.
There is great anticipation of Jamaica doing well again in the upcoming IBMC, to replicate and even surpass impressive performances recorded by teams entering since 2014, when the country sent its first representative.
Jamaican teams have consistently finished in the top 10, despite competing against thousands of participants from over 40 colleges and universities across the world.
The 2014 NBMC winner, Herboo Enterprise, placed eighth; 2015 champion, JarGro Enterprise, reached the semi-finals; 2016 winner, Guardana Inc, which received honorary mention – sixth; and 2017 champion, Natsima Nutraceuticals – fourth.
The replication or surpassing of these placements would cap a record-breaking year for the NBMC, which saw the UWI, through Queritel, winning the competition for the first time and, in the process, breaking NCU's dominance of the initiative since its inception.
The competition, which is designed to encourage and promote the creative and innovative thinking of students, facilitates local entrepreneurial skills and enhances collaboration and communication between stakeholders in the private sector and academia.
According to Querital's Vice President for Marketing and Operations, Kedonne Martin, "originally the idea for Queritel was (to name the entity) Research Aid Plus, which came up after realising that students on campus needed research work done and they needed help with this… so they came to us".
"After working with this idea for a year and pitching it, we realised that it made more sense to (market it) to entrepreneurs, who would be more willing to pay for this service. So, we pivoted to Queritel and, since then, we have had over 120 customers and made over US$6,000 in revenue, and it has been amazing. Winning this competition is another form of validation for us, and we are so happy for it," he says.
The members of Querital copped the winning prize of $2 million, plus an all-expense paid trip to the IBMC, slated for the prestigious Utah Valley Convention Centre and the Provo Marriott Hotel and Conference Centre.
Prizes totalling $4 million were up for grabs in this year's NBMC, which was sponsored by the Inter-American Development Bank, through the Multilateral Investment Fund; PanJam Investment; Restaurant Associates, through its flagship brand, Burger King; Musson Foundation; NCB Foundation; Sagicor Group; Scotiabank; GK Capital Management; and the PetroCaribe Development Fund.
The IBMC is sponsored by the Kevin and Debra Rollins Centre for Entrepreneurship and Technology in the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University, headquartered in Provo, Utah.
The entrepreneurship programme at the Marriott School, which has campuses/students across the United States and in 105 other countries, is consistently ranked among the top such offered, annually.

As part of the continued alignment of functions in my administration, and in order to enhance service delivery, I have today made the following changes in Government:
Kenya Defence Forces
1. Reflecting democratic values, fidelity to our constitution in regard to the primacy of civilian oversight to the security sector, the Defence Council sat today and agreed on the succession of another set of general staff officer cadre to lead our Defence Forces.
General Dr. Julius Waweru Karangi will commence the handover process starting next week pending retirement as Chief of Defence Forces after more than four decades of distinguished service to our country, the region and humankind.
I take this opportunity to thank General Karangi for his dedicated service to Kenya that was marked by diligence, great commitment, humility and patriotism.
General Karangi leaves our Defence Forces in a much better place both professionally and operationally.
On the advice of the National Defence Council, I have today promoted Lieutenant-General Samson J. Mwathethe to General and appointed him Chief of Defence Forces-Designate.
Further, I have appointed Lieutenant-General Joseph K. Kasaon as the Vice Chief of Defence Forces-Designate. I have also promoted Major-General Leonard M. Ngondi to Lieutenant-General and appointed him Kenya Army Commander-Designate.
Re-organisation of Government
2. Cognisant of the need to focus attention on water as a driver of agricultural development, I have created a Ministry of Water and Irrigation Services. I have nominated the Hon. Eugene Wamalwa as the Cabinet Secretary.
3. In addition, I have nominated the following personalities to serve in Government.
a) Amb. Dr. Monica Juma, nominee for the position of Secretary to the Cabinet.
b) Retired Major-General Gordon Kihalangwa, nominee for the position of Principal Secretary, Department of Interior, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government
4. I have also appointed Mr. Nzioka Waita as Secretary of Delivery in the Executive Office of the President.
I look forward to the National Assembly, in line with its mandate, to vet the nominees as soon as possible.

Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, who rushed to the site, raised the possibility the crash could have been another case of sabotage, two months after Maoist rebels were blamed for a derailment that killed 145 people.
"We have some doubts in our mind" about whether it was an accident, she said.
The crash happened about 2 a.m. when the Uttarbanga Express slammed into the Vananchal Express as it left the platform at Sainthia station, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of Calcutta.
The accident destroyed two passenger cars and a luggage car, turning them into a tangle of twisted metal. The passenger cars were reserved for those on the cheapest tickets and such carriages are usually packed to capacity.
The force of the crash was so intense the roof of one car flew into the air and landed on an overpass above the tracks. Local residents climbing through the debris searching for survivors were later joined by rescue workers using heavy equipment to cut through the metal.
"I was sleeping when I felt a huge jolt and heard a loud noise and then the train stopped," passenger Lakshman Bhaumik told local television. Bhaumik survived with minor injuries.
Rescuers recovered 61 bodies from the crash site and 125 other people were injured, said Surajit Kar Purkayastha, a top police official. The two drivers of the Uttarbanga Express were among the dead, Banerjee said.
Rescue teams arrived about three hours after the accident, local resident said. Before that locals scrambled to help survivors out of the trains and to pull out bodies.
"For many hours it was just the local residents helping and it was very difficult to help without any equipment," the unidentified man told NDTV television channel.
Police official Humayun Kabir told NDTV, however, rescue workers reached the site within an hour of the crash.
Bhupinder Singh, the top police official in West Bengal, said the death toll could rise. He said it was too early to know how many people remained inside the coaches.
India's federal Home Ministry rushed several hundred members of the National Disaster Relief Force to the accident site to assist with search-and-rescue operations, a government statement said.
The disaster was the second major train crash in the state of West Bengal in the past two months. On May 28, a passenger train derailed and was hit by an oncoming cargo train in a crash that killed 145 people. Authorities blamed sabotage by Maoist rebels for that crash.
Accidents are common on India's sprawling rail network, one of the world's largest, with most blamed on poor maintenance.

A Power of Attorney ("POA") allows you to appoint a person(s) to assist with your property and financial affairs, while you are healthy (for example if you are away an unable to manage your affairs), or upon your incapacity. A Personal Directive ("PD") allows you to nominate an agent(s) to make personal and health care decisions if you lack capacity. The POA is a financial responsibility; the PD is medical.
How is a POA activated?
5(1) An enduring power of attorney may provide that it comes into
effect at a specified future time or on the occurrence of a specified
contingency, including, but not limited to, the mental incapacity or
infirmity of the donor.
(2) An enduring power of attorney referred to in subsection (1)
may name one or more persons on whose written declaration the
specified contingency is conclusively deemed to have occurred for
the purpose of bringing the enduring power of attorney into effect.
You may appoint an Attorney to assist you immediately, or at a specific future time. Your Attorney will require the original document to manage your affairs. With an Enduring POA, your Attorney can continue to help you after you are incapacitated. More often, a POA is drafted to say it will only come into effect upon your incapacity (physically or mentally infirm). Normally the POA will say that the question of your incapacity is to be determined by the "written declaration" or one or two medical practitioners. "Written declaration" is not defined in the Act, but it is my experience that a simple letter will suffice.
How is a PD activated?
Under the Personal Directives Act, a capacity assessment is used to evaluate whether
a maker is capable of making personal decisions. The Act outlines who is authorized
to complete capacity assessments and how capacity assessments must be done.
If the maker does not name a specific person to assess his/her capacity, the Act states that two service providers, one of whom must be a physician or psychologist, can complete a capacity assessment.
Declaration of Incapacity:
Please contact Navigator Law LLP if you have any questions about POA or PD.

The Women of Black Iron
For years I have half-jokingly told many of my members that I was planning on making Black Iron a women's only club. This is for good reason. At any given time at least half of my gym membership is comprised of females and there have been plenty of stretches of time this number has been closer to 75 percent. And quite frankly, I enjoy coaching women. They are fun to work with.
Women having an instinctive need to get strong just like men do. It is natural as a human to want to be stronger. Even though it doesn't always seem like it, we are designed to be strong and hard working both men and women. So it makes sense that I get a lot of inquiries from women.
I have learned that women love to get strong. Honestly, I had no idea when I was first starting out what a big deal strength is for women, but the last several years have taught me that it definitely is. It has been amazing to watch the determination and commitment to training of my female clientele. They all show up, pay close attention to what I have to say, and quietly go about adding weights to the bar. And a lot of my soccer moms out work my high school athletes.
Over the past few years I have developed a band of women who train hard week in and week out. Yes, they all have their ups and downs of life due to busy work, school, and family schedules. They get sick and hurt every once in a while, but they always come back. By and large they are my most dedicated members.
I was starting to call them the Barbelles. To be honest I do not love that name, but I wanted to call them something because they are awesome. My goal is to build a gym with plenty of strong and powerful women walking around and the Barbelles have help set the standard very nicely.
There is a big misconception that still unfortunately exists in the world today. It is that lifting weights is only for guys. This is terribly wrong. I know there are women who would like to give training at my gym a try, but they are scared at what people might say about it. A lot of women are missing out on one of the best things they could be doing because of these wretched lies.
Lifting is not just for men.
Women should be working on getting stronger. Those that do all benefit a great deal from it. My lady lifters come in all shapes and sizes. And they are all beautiful. They enjoy training and look forward to the challenge of lifting progressively heavy weights. When they have a target to hit they do whatever it takes to make sure it happens.
When a woman gets stronger she looks stronger and has more confidence. And that is kind of sexy.
But of course it is a lot more than that.
My girls are all bad-asses. They work hard and take care of themselves. All of them have solid careers and family lives. It is almost as if the same kinds of things they need to do to succeed in the gym also help make them better in the their personal lives. And don't even get me going on what kind of workers these women are. I know from how they approach their training that they are the ones in their office getting stuff done.
This of course makes me very proud.
Yes, strength is as important for women as it is for men. I have watched firsthand what kind of difference a steady diet of barbell training does for a woman. Women who start out frail and timid grow to be strong and assured. A tremendous level of confidence is built as strength increases. Doing things that are hard has a very positive impact on a person's personality. It is very interesting to watch what happens to a woman who can barely squat the bar when she is starting out go on to squat a few hundred pounds.
Ladies, do yourself a favor and start lifting. Quit doing all the foolish starvation diets and endless cycles of circuit training. And I would suggest you stop running unless you really like doing it. Start eating better and lifting more. Pay more attention to taking care of yourself instead of always just worrying about everyone else.
Join a gym like mine and find a group of like-minded Barbelles who will help you get started today. You will be more than pleased with the results.

Volunteering with kids in Vietnam
Posted by SarahA on 9/7/2012 at 14:00
Hi everyone,
I want to bring your attention to a great charity I have volunteered with in Tuy Hoa Vietnam, Nhan Viet volunteer (www.nhanvietvolunteer.com). Some of the placements include working with street kids,teaching english at the fishing village, teaching art and sports to deaf students, and physiotherapy/care at the agent orange centre. The fee is $200 USD/week and this covers accomodation, delicious food, orientation and transportation to job sites. It really is a great deal and the extra money goes back in to supporting the kids, with special events like outings or an art show. Thanks to former volunteers, we now sponsor over 50 street kids to go to school! There's lots to do at the beachside location and weekends off (outings can be organized). Minimum recommended stay is 2 weeks. The kids really need more volunteers! Please message me and I will give you more info!

I forgot to mention that part of the fee covers a translator who accompanies you to the sites. After reading some of the other posts, I want to assure everyone that they make very little money off of your stay (in fact they charge a small fraction of what the international organization used to charge). The benefit from having volunteers come and visit, even for a short amount of time, is that many of them (I'd say about half) feel a lifelong dedication to the kids afterwards. At this location, former volunteers have raised money for school fees, a new building to house the street kids, vocational training for older kids, a paid physiotherapist for the orphanage, etc.

In honor of the upcoming sale of Paul Newman's very own Paul Newman Daytona, we thought we'd flashback into the comprehensive Reference Points about the Paul Newman Daytona. Ahead of Thursday night's sale, be sure to brush up on how the Paul Newman Daytona came to be and all the references which go with this. Stay tuned for more.
In the second installment of our Reference Points series we'll tackle perhaps the most discussed household of watches in modern timepiece collecting. This watch is as infamous as it is famous, it's as dangerous as it is beautiful, and valuable as it is rare. I'm discussing nothing short of this Rolex paul newman daytona panda replica watch "Paul Newman" Daytona, also here we'll investigate the six testimonials of the totally legendary timepiece, as well as enter its own history, ups, downs, ins and outs. But first, if you haven't read our initial"Reference Points" attribute on Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronographs, we invite you to do so here.
First things first, this report will not be an exposé on the life of Paul Newman, nor the many watches that he wore. For this, I invite you to see this story over at Jake's Rolex World. This will analyze each mention of the Paul Newman Daytona to ensure you, our beloved readers, will understand the varying qualities of the highly collectible and oft misinterpreted watch.
Both of the watches that you see above are Rolex paul newman daytona 6263 replica Cosmograph Daytonas Reference 6239 in stainless steel with black dials. Both were created (approximately) in 1967. The 6239 on the left could have a neutral street market value of around $25,000-$30,000, while the 6239 on the right would have a value of about $90,000-$100,000. To be particular, the watch on the left sold for $28,750 in December of 2013, while the one on the right sold for $93,750 at the exact same voucher. Both of these watches are all but identical mechanically, and in reality the event of the 6239 on the left appears to be even stronger than the case of this 6239 on the right — so why was there a cost difference of $65,000 between the two? Because the watch on the right is a Paul Newman Daytona, and the one on the left is not. The only difference, really? The dial, also that's it. The one thing which makes a classic Daytona that a"Paul Newman" Daytona is the dial. And that's the reason the Paul Newman is one of the most dangerous classic watches to buy. More on that soon.
In the 2 photos above, you may observe the differences quite clearly. The Paul Newman features an art deco style font for the numerals, and the hash symbols possess a small square at the end. Furthermore, there is a little"step" in the dial between the outside minute track and also the middle of the dial. In this specific illustration of the 6241 PN, the dial features a third colour (red) that adds a little bit of character. However, are a few little layout characteristics worth paying that much more for a Daytona? After the exotic dials were first shown by Rolex, not many considered so.
In fact, those dials sat on shelves for years and years. The traditional Daytona dials were substantially preferred by Rolex paul newman daytona crazy rich asian fake watch customers to the funky multi-colored dials that currently fetch so much money to collectors. Therefore, it isn't unusual to see Paul Newmans with initial sales receipts in some instances several years, if not decades, later than the production date. This is only 1 reason why the world of Paul Newmans is indeed cloudy.
And, because these exotic dials didn't sell well, Rolex simply did not make that many of them. Andrew Shear of all ShearTime estimates that for each 20 normal Daytona dials, there could be one exotic dial created. And we should not overlook that Rolex paul newman daytona homage clone wasn't the vertically integrated producer that it is now — it was still another firm, Singer, that had been making the dials for them. And Singer was making"Paul Newman" style dials for not just Rolex, either. By way of example, this is a two enroll Vulcain with exotic fashion dial which we sold in our Chicago Pop-Up last year to get almost nothing.
It's Singer's involvement with the creation of these hugely valuable dials which makes the entire situation even murkier still. At the span of the 1980s through the early 2000s, when exotic dial Daytonas gained in popularity and Italian collectors soon proclaimed them The"Paul Newman" Daytonas, we started to observe an enormous up-tick in the numbers of those dials. And that is when the slow-seller of the 1960s and 70s became the hottest classic watch in the world.
Above you see a photograph of Mr. Newman sporting his own Reference 6239 exotic dial. It is not clear when this photograph was shot, or for what, but it since become the strangest Newman on Newman picture (made from my friend Jake). But, how did this dog of a watch turned into this icon, and how exactly did watch collectors find Mr. Newman's tie for this particular dial? The often told yet completely unsubstantiated story is that Newman wore his 6239 about the cover of an Italian magazine, and that it was at that instant the potent Italian collector/dealer base chose it'd be the next thing in watches. I have never noticed this magazine pay, nor spoken to a single person that has either. But, some how, some way, Newman's ownership of an exotic dial Daytona became famous, and the opinion was off to the races, so to speak.
Here you see two reference 6241 Paul Newmans. One of these is in gold and has an estimate of $8,000-$10,000. Another is steel and has an estimate of $3,000 to $3,500. There is a third PN within this catalog — a steel 6239 white dial, using a quote of $3,000 to $4,000. It does not sound like much, but remember, retail with this watch only 15 years before was $300. Nonetheless, it's interesting to note how fast the prices of of Paul Newman have climbed since right around this sale.
If we have a 20 year look at the Paul Newman, employing the 6239 white dial up as our model, it is possible to observe that the rise is meteoric. In fact, there isn't another serially generated watch in the world which could match the rise in value that we've seen with Paul Newmans over the past 20 some years.
But, because of this, and because there's absolutely no technical distinction between a fundamental Daytona and a Paul Newman Daytona beyond the sort of dial it uses, it has presented one of largest opportunities for the nasty side of vintage Rolex paul newman daytona gold replica watches to back its head. You will find far more imitation Paul Newman dials on the planet than there are imitation dials for the rest of the watches combined. In fact, according to discussions with seasoned collectors, it's fair to say there are more fake Paul Newman dials on the planet than there are real ones. It is because of this that for the Paul Newman particularly, I highly, highly suggest that you purchase the vendor as much as the watch when searching for one of these undeniably trendy chronographs. I won't go into how to spot fake Paul Newman dials in this article — it's a bunny hole simply far too wide and deep to spell out in a solitary article. In addition, we do not want to encourage anyone who may be looking to make a counterfeit dial up by telling them exactly what they're doing wrong. However, below I will explain each of the six references that you might encounter in perusing the Paul Newman so that you can understand the differences.
The first, most common, and cheapest Paul Newman Daytona also appears to be the most authentic, as it's the true reference worn by Newman himself. The 6239 includes pump pushers and a steel bezel, with all the Rolex Valjoux 722 beating inside. It may be found with a white or black dial with production commencing in the mid 1960s, surely after the MK 1 Daytonas found only in 1963. The dial is a 3 color dial, in that it is made up of white, black, and crimson, and features the term"Daytona" written above the register at 6 o'clock.
The 6241 is identical to the 6239 in each manner, but with the inclusion of a black acrylic bezel. Again, we've got the Valjoux 722, a three color dial, and pump pushers. More desirable and rare compared to 6239, expect a 10-15% premium on the 6241 in comparison to a fundamental 6239.
The 6264 is the black bezel counterpart into the 6262. Again, made only for just one year, the 6264 features the updated, higher beat caliber 727, pump pushers, along with a black acrylic bezel. Though the example pictured here in 18k yellow gold, a steel case would indeed feature a stepped three-dimensional dial with"Daytona" above 6 o'clock as well, though it's possible to observe a two-color dial onto a 6264. The 6264 is a really rare reference made for only one year, and functions as the bridge between the low-beat, pump pusher Daytonas and the high-beat, Oyster Daytonas.
Starting around 1970 you begin to observe the last two references of this wound Rolex Daytonas. Reference 6265, as seen here, features a milder"Oyster" design case with screw-down pushers. The 6265 includes a graduated stainless steel bezel, and instead of three colour dial, you get a conventional"Panda" design dial in just black and white. In addition, there's not any"Daytona" written above 6 o'clock. Further, there's no such thing as a 6265 Paul Newman with a black dial that's signed"Rolex Oyster Cosmograph." The only black screw-down Paul Newman Daytona ought to be signed"Rolex Cosmograph Oyster," and they're really uncommon at that. More on this below.
The Rolex Cosmograph Oyster Reference 6263 using a Panda Paul Newman dial is, how can I say this… ideal? Yes, that's it. The Panda 6263 is your most desirable, most exquisite, and most expensive standard Paul Newman Daytona around. There is just something about the way the white two-color dial plays against the black acrylic bezel. Of course, the 6263 imitates the 6265 technically with the Valjoux 727 indoors, with screw-down pushers. Again, you won't find a black dial 6263 Paul Newman with"ROC" signature, however you'll find a few with"RCO." And with a few, I mean really a few. It's estimated that over 20 black dial screw-down Paul Newmans are famous, and when they appear for sale, they do really, really well. Like, you know, over $1,000,000 nicely .
Though the panda dial 6263's are certainly more prevalent in relation to the black dial RCO's, they are by no means frequent, and locating the original Oyster PN in good condition is growing increasingly difficult. As such, the asking price of almost any pleasant 6263 Paul Newman is currently over $200,000, in which a silver dial, non-PN 6263 is about $40,000 in mint condition. That begs the question, in case the Paul Newman is all about the looks, are they really worth the remarkable premium?
Don't, even for one minute, try to reason with yourself why costs of Paul Newmans are so, so much higher than ordinary Daytonas. Or, why they're so, so much higher than exotic dial Heuers, Universals, or other comparable chronographs from similar time periods. It just doesn't make sense when you look at things on an even remotely pragmatic level. But, nothing about collecting watches, specifically vintage Rolex replica watches, makes sense on paper, does it?
Is your Paul Newman a rare watch? Yes, it is. It is really far more rare than you might imagine based on how many you see in the online space. There are a lot of dials out there that should not be on the watches they are on. There are a whole lot of dials out there that are indeed fake, and a great deal of dials out there that are a little fake, and there are dials out there they are real, but about the incorrect watch — suggesting someone has swapped components round (Why would somebody do this, you ask? Say by way of example you have an extremely polished example on a 6239 with a Paul Newman dialup, but the dial is in mint condition. Following that, you've got a 6241 using a mint instance but a normal, non-PN dial. All you'd need to do to make that 6241 into $100,000+ watch is swap the dialup, but if you do that with the incorrect mention, all of a sudden, you have a dial that doesn't fit the watch.) Thus, what I'm saying is that while you see a good deal of watches which look like Paul Newmans, locating a 100% right Paul Newman isn't no easy task, let alone in fine shape. However, in addition to that, a Paul Newman is still much less rare than just two premature chronographs I'm particularly fond of: The Mark 1 6239 Daytona, and the 2915 Speedmaster. Both these watches will run you $60,000 to $80,000 if in great shape, and I believe they are both slightly more interesting than a Paul Newman, that today starts at $100,000. But, that does not mean they are cooler, or have a bigger upside down financially.
The Paul Newman is so desirable for numerous reasons, among which is the undeniable actuality that the thing is just downright gorgeous. The playfulness of this dial is so amazing, so quite un-Rolex. On the wrist, a Paul Newman is difficult to match. And, as it is so well-known, they're all about as liquid as some other watch in the world, even in the astronomical prices that we see today.
Will prices just continue to climb on , in perpetuity? They might, particularly as we continue to find out more about different dials and try to weed out the bad eggs. The Paul Newman is potentially the most well-known and sought after of this mega Rolexes, and I don't feel that can change any time soon. Though, I don't claim to know the future and also do think we remain in a bit of a spike following the Christie's Rolex Daytona: Less One purchase, in which the typical watch brought down over $264,000.
Up until today, we've covered the basic Paul Newman watches to provide you a simple comprehension of their core differences. But, even within this mega range of mega chains, there exists some which are even more special. To begin with, there are the golden Paul Newmans. Such as the 6264 showcased here, these strong gold watches (in both 14k and 18) are highly desired by collectors. They are typically found with either black or champagne colored dials.
Then, we've got tropical Paul Newmans. Just like any other tropical Rolex, this describes when the shameful of a dial starts to turn to a nice warm brown color. Expect to pay a little premium here based on how even the evaporating is.
Then, we've got something even more exotic. This isn't really a part of the Paul Newman household since it's not technically a Daytona — it's the first Yachtmaster. This model dial is present in only 3 examples: one goes to Rolex, the other formerly belonged to Mr. Eric Clapton, and the third belongs to John Goldberger, who was nice enough to show it to us .
The above chart is by no way the end-all of Paul Newman Daytona reference substances, but it will supply you with a simple understanding of the configurations most frequently identified and accepted as legitimate. I must note that we have chosen to omit reference 6240 (early transitional Oyster situation with caliber 722) due to its rarity. The consensus is that really it is likely to come across a 6240 with original Paul Newman dial, and if you doit ought to have a two-color Mark 1 Panda dial up or a three-color RCO, and come onto a later 6240 production watch.
I am hoping this version of Reference Points will function to not dissuade anyone from pursuing a"Paul Newman" Daytona, but actually help those that may be actively trying to comprehend this opinion better. The Paul Newman is the most dangerous high-end classic watch in the world, and I can't stress enough how important it's to do one's homework when buying, and to always keep in mind that if something is apparently too good to be true, particularly with a Paul Newman, it likely is.
Having said that, there's something very particular about the Paul Newman, and also just being around one can provide a true watch lover serious chills — this view is nothing short of true legend. And I really don't see that changing any time soon.
I would love to pay exceptional thanks to Mr. Andrew Shear, who not only supplied the seven Paul Newman Daytonas featured in this guide, but was also instrumental in the study put forth here. Andrew is one of the finest vintage Rolex experts and dealers in the entire world and I have no trouble recommending him for any of your vintage Rolex needs. You will view his website here.

Several teams played Tuesday as the Western Hockey league schedule ends this coming weekend and for those teams in the playoffs, still trying to figure out who they will play for round one. Portland took the travel to Kennewick, WA for a rare Tuesday night game and the Hawks knew a win in Tri-City and a loss by Victoria would give the Hawks a bit of breathing room.
Portland started the night off with a hard-fought goal by Skyler McKenzie just over five minutes into the game as the Hawks carried the edge in play in the opening minutes. A big hit by Morgan Geekie on Keegan Iverson seemed to spark Tri-City, but as quickly as that happened, the wheels fell off the roller for the Americans. A hit by Landon Fuller on Jake Gricius by the Tri-City bench was ruled a high hit and a charging major with game misconduct was assessed and the Hawks enjoyed a five minute powerplay. Caleb Jones took advantage after a great deal of stretching out the Tri-City penalty killers as he sent a shot through traffic and past Ryan Parenteau to put the Hawks up by two. The Hawks would make it three as just as the major expired as Layne Gilliss sent a shot through traffic and the five hole of Parenteau.
The early part of the second period was more Winterhawks and Jake Gricius used his own rebound from the seat of his pants to send the puck past Parenteau to put the Hawks up by four. For the remainder of the second period, the Hawks had become a bit complacent and Tri-City starting adding on the pressure. Cole Kehler had to be sharp to make several saves as the Americans had two successive powerplays, but were unsuccessful on either. The game took on a chippy tone as the Americans, frustrated with their lack of scoring touch and the Hawks who were trying to stem the flow on some of the Americans onslaught got into some penalty trouble. After over half the third period was over, and the teams playing four aside, Tri-City finally scored their first and only goal of the game as Kyle Olson was able to finally beat Cole Kehler to put Tri-City within three.
Late in the game, Keegan Iverson retrieved the puck from the boards in the Tri-City zone and fired a wrist shot past Parenteau to make it 5-1. Shortly thereafter, Brett Clayton was freed from the Winterhawks zone on a breakaway and threw a back hand shot past Parenteau, a goal that the entire Tri-City bench disputed claiming the play was set up by a high stick. The game saw more scrums as time wore down, the frustration that Tri-City was feeling, now dropping their fifth game in a row, with Portland gathering their second straight win to put them three points up on Tri-City with the Americans having a game in hand. Portland outshot Tri-City 37-36 and scored once on two powerplays, while Tri-City was scoreless on six chances.
Portland was also watching another game to the north as the Vancouver Giants, well out of the playoff race, hosted the Victoria Royals, a team that was just a point behind Portland in the conference standings. Vancouver, though outshot by a wide margin in the game, especially the third period, pulled off a 5-3 win over the Royals. With Victoria having played the same number of games as Portland, the Royals will have to win both their last two games and hope Portland doesn't win one of their remaining two in order to reclaim the sixth seed. Tri-City has a bit easier route, though down three points to the Hawks, they do have a game in hand.
Portland will play on the road against the Seattle Thunderbirds before finishing the regular season on Sunday against the Spokane Chiefs. The game versus Spokane will be the annual awards night with presentations pregame. The Hawks will also be honoring INTEL with retro night as the jerseys will have a pixelated Hawk head on the front and digitalized number on the back and sleeves. The jerseys will be auctioned online for a local charity.
This past week, the Western Hockey League recognized Winterhawks forward Cody Glass as their player of the week. Glass has had a banner season with over 40 goals and continues to add to his total as the season winds down.
On another WHL note, the Kootenay Ice, who were looking to sell the franchise this season, were also looking to be possibly relocated to Nanaimo, BC. The Frank Crane Arena, home to the BCHL Nanaimo Clippers, is deemed too small for a WHL franchise at under 2,800 seats, but would be a temporary arena until a new one was built. Voters in Nanaimo were asked this past week to decide on the city borrowing up to 80 million dollars to build a facility for which the WHL would obtain a franchise for and guarantee a lease for twenty years. Of the 60,000 voters eligible, just under 24,000 participated and voted 80 percent no. Where this leaves the Ice is uncertain; there was talk of a local group that offered to buy the franchise from the Chynoweth family. The Ice, which has won just 14 games this season, has averaged about 1,700 fans in a 4,300 seat arena. WHL Commissioner Ron Robison was quoted in an article about the Ice early last year that the arena needed to draw at least 3,000 fans to be viable.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday discussed relations between their two countries and the Ukraine crisis in a phone conversation.
Speaking highly of the development of China-Germany ties, Xi said he is looking forward to his state visit to Germany and to in-depth exchange of views with Merkel on bilateral relations and international and regional issues of common concern.
The president said he welcomes Merkel's visit to China this year.
For her part, Merkel voiced her belief that Xi's upcoming visit to Germany will be successful and will boost further development of the two countries' strategic partnership.
Merkel sent her condolences over the missing of a passenger jet of Malaysia Airlines with 239 people on board. Xi said China is in contact with Malaysia and other countries and is exerting all efforts for search and rescue operations in the hope of finding survivors.
On the Ukraine crisis, Merkel said Germany hopes for an appropriate solution through dialogue, adding that her country attaches importance to China's role and is willing to strengthen communication with China on the issue.
Xi said that as the current situation in Ukraine is very complicated and highly sensitive, various factors should be taken into consideration in the handling of the crisis.
He called on all parties concerned to exercise restraint and seek a political solution through dialogue and negotiations within the framework of law and order, so as to avoid further escalation of the situation.
China supports the international community's efforts and mediation, Xi said, voicing the hope that Germany would continue to communicate with other relevant parties and further play a constructive role. China is willing to keep contact with Germany on the issue, he said.

The ceasefire violations occurring on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir are not abnormal. Such incidents occur when two armies with a history of fighting each other face each other in contested territory. It is the act of the Pakistani army in mutilating the bodies of Indian soldiers killed by them that is abnormal. So is the response of the Pakistani government to this deplorable incident.
Pakistan, true to form, has denied the mutilation charge. Its foreign minister, Hina Rabbani Khar, is "appalled" at India's outlandish claim, as their internal investigation shows that no one from Pakistan crossed the LOC and killed Indian soldiers. She made the worthless proposal for joint investigation, having already announced the result of Pakistan's own enquiry. She then deliberately tweaked us by proposing an investigation by UNMOGIP whose role India does not recognise since 1971.
The Pakistanis claim that the highly "professional" army would do no such thing as mutilation. But then, is it normal for a professional army to have "jihad" in its motto, along with "faith" and "piety". Is it a professional army or a religious army of the faithful whose profession is to fight for Islam?
Once again, in the face of Pakistan's provocation India is at a loss to react effectively. We wonder what Pakistan gains by such an act when the overall relationship is improving, forgetting that this has happened before, with Kargil, various acts of terror against our cities, pilgrimage centres, and economic institutions, and finally, the Mumbai attacks taking place even while the dialogue process was on. For those behind such provocations the "gain" is political and psychological- of mobilizing anti-Indian elements behind the army, boosting the morale of the Pakistani armed forces by demonstrating that Pakistan can take on India, and expose the latter's inability to exercise any military option.
Pakistan looks strong as a result. The intention may also be to prevent the thinking of the rank and file from being overly influenced by the positive momentum of the peace process. It may also be to show contempt for the fuss made in India lately over the mutilation of the body of Lt. Kalia during the Kargil war and show that such acts can be repeated with impunity. The Pakis-tani side knows that taking the case to the ICJ is not an option as Pakistan has to agree to the reference.
India has stated many times at the highest levels that it has no option but to continue the dialogue with Pakistan, acknowledging publicly our helplessness. We have shown to Pakistan in recent years that we can absorb serious provocations without retaliating. We did not break diplomatic ties even after the Mumbai attacks; doing so now would seem an over-reaction. It is extremely difficult for the government to reverse course as that would be an avowal of a dramatic failure of its Pakistan policy.
In the face of the defiant Pakistani attitude in the present case, we could take some steps that will not be seen as an over-reaction, but will help to retrieve some ground that we have lost in our over-eagerness to engage Pakistan, as if we need to placate them.
We should cease saying that we have no option but to negotiate with Pakistan; we should change our discourse that both countries are victims of terrorism, as we are not responsible for terrorism in Pakistan. We must forbid visits by Hurriyat leaders to Pakistan and insist that Pakistani leaders will not meet Hurriyat leaders in Delhi. We should postpone for the present any exchange of visits and delay the convening of the next round of the composite dialogue. We should not encourage sporting exchanges.
We could review some of our decisions, depending on developments. Cross LOC trade and movement is incompatible with our interests as we are unnecessarily encouraging the Kashmiris on our side to feel connected and have a sense of solidarity with Pakistani Kashmiris, which is a dynamic that Pakistan can control better than us.
On Kashmir our position should be that there is nothing to discuss except Pakistan's interference in J&K, and this should be said in private and in public. We should remove Siachen from the dialogue agenda as having it there implies that Pakistan has some locus standi in the matter. The Hurriyat leaders, after their visit to Pakistan, are warning of the fall-out of the Afghan problem in J&K after 2014. We could be less squeamish about Baluchistan and consider permitting invitations to go to separatist Baluch leaders by Indian think-tanks.
As a smaller, more vulnerable country, wracked by extremism and violence, in economic distress, over-stretched by its ambitions, militaristic in thinking, adept at cynically exploiting its geopolitical position, capable of extreme obduracy, animated by fear and defiance of India and attitudes distorted by its Islamic vocation that makes it resort to terrorism as an instrument of state policy, Pakistan is not like us.
Unless we are willing to understand that, we will continue to make mistakes in our Pakistan policy. It is not our responsibility to save Pakistan from itself.

Montreal Hells Angel dies in prison
The Montreal Gazette is reporting that "Under a cloudy sky Thursday morning, hundreds of Hells Angels from across Canada showed up in force at an Urgel Bourgie funeral home on Beaubien St. E. in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve to mourn the loss of André (Frisé) Sauvageau." Who died in prison May 26 of natural causes at the age of 63."
Dec. 19, 2000, Sauvageau, a founding member of the Rock Machine, was told that, as far as the Hells Angels were concerned, "the door (was) always open" to him. He defected to the Hells soon after and remained a member of the gang till his death May 26. When Sauvageau defected in 2000, he was initially made a member of the Hells Angels' Nomads chapter in Ontario and, in December 2003, he transferred to the Montreal chapter.
Paul Porter used to be a member of the Rock Machine in Quebec. He crossed over from the Rock Machine along with the gangs founders and a few other leaders in 2000 right before Mom Boucher went to prison. Mom Boucher greeted these guys including Paul Porter with hugs and kisses. A while ago I reported that I went for lunch with a guy visiting Vancouver from Montreal. He said that a member of the Rock Machine told him that Mom Boucher had paid members of the Rock Machine to murder some of his own political rivals within the Hells Angels. That is what he said a member of the Rock Machine told him.
"Sauvageau was presumably at the head of a lucrative cocaine smuggling ring in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district that was brewing several million a year, according to court documents related to this investigation, which Le Journal obtained a copy of. He had been incriminated by one of his main lieutenants, Patrick Corbeil, who chose to turn his back on him by deciding to become an informer for the judicial part of this operation. Corbeil told the police that their organization was selling close to 50 kilograms of cocaine a year, between 2011 and 2015."
"Sauvageau also reportedly oversaw the Hells Angels' 10% tax system on the sales of traffickers doing business on most of the drug market in Quebec, which is now under the control of bikers. During the investigation, the police observed Sauvageau several times in the company of major Montreal organized crime actors, including the godfather of street gangs Gregory Wooley, who is currently serving an eight-year sentence after being arrested in the same roundup."

Erna Petri
|Given Name
Contributor: C. Peter Chen
ww2dbaseErna KĂĽrbs Petri was married to SS officer Horst Petri. Her husband was posted to L'viv (German: Lemberg), Ukraine during the German occupation of Ukraine. As the manager of the family's estate of Grzenda, she mistreated the forced laborers working on the farm and had delivered several female Ukrainian workers to a concentration camp. In 1943, she killed four Jewish men who escaped from a nearby forced labor camp onto her property. Later, she discovered six Jewish boys aged 6 to 12 on her estate and found that they had escaped from a train heading for Sobibor Concentration Camp; she took them home, fed them, and then executed them in the back of the neck with a pistol in nearby woods. In 1962, the couple was found guilty by the government of East Germany; Horst Petri was sentenced to death and Erna Petri was given a life sentence.

This article doesn`t tell the worst of it. Erna Petri has admitted (e.g. "The German War" by N Stargardt p291/2) to murdering 6 young Jewish children (aged 6 to 12), one after the other. She revealed how they were crying, "but more of a low moan" once she started. This is one of the most appalling instances of human depravity but should be publicised for that very reason.

By 1943 every German was either a committed genocidal Nazi supporter, or he was in jail, concentration camp, a cemetery, or had left Germany. The accounts of the assistance given by German civilians in the mass murder of Jews and others are horrific, there were 8 million forced laborers/slaves working throughout Germany in factories, farms, and homes, and German Nazi women were notorious for abusing and outright murdering these often Russian slaves with the approval of their husbands and the authorities. Nazism involved the entire German nation, even those Wehrmacht officers who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1944 were only trying to save their own skins anyhow.

I have worked with a few German women who were not even alive during WWII who became very hostile towards me when they realized I was British. I had not even told them that my Father was a soldier in N.W. Europe during WWII.

Mar. 23 -- THURSDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Some 6,000 hogs have been quarantined across eight U.S. states because they may have eaten contaminated salvage pet food, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced late Thursday.
At the same time, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials said that meat from 345 hogs that ate tainted feed has already entered the U.S. food supply, the Associated Press reported.
The quarantined hogs are on farms in California, New York, South Carolina, North Carolina, Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ohio, the AP said. And the USDA reported that swine from slaughterhouses in Kansas and Utah may have entered the food supply. Government officials, however, consider the threat to human health to be very low.
The swine are thought to have been exposed to food contaminated by two chemicals, melamine and cyanuric acid, that was sent as salvage by companies who have had to recall massive quantities of dog and cat food as the pet food recall rolls on.
"Today we notified eight states that adulterated swine products will not be approved to enter the food supply," Capt. David Elder, director of the FDA's Office of Enforcement Office of Regulatory Affairs, said during a late afternoon teleconference.
He stressed, however, that "based on information currently available, the FDA and the USDA believe the likelihood of illness after eating such pork is extremely low. However, the agencies also believe it is prudent to take this measure."
According to the AP, potentially contaminated pet food scraps may also have found their way to a poultry feed mill in Missouri. That case remains under investigation.
Melamine was first found in pet foods manufactured by the Canadian company Menu Foods, which began its widely publicized recall March 16. That recall included moist dog and cat foods made with melamine-contaminated wheat gluten imported from China.
The recall has since expanded to other pet food manufacturers and other pet food ingredients, including imported rice protein concentrate and corn gluten.
In a new recall added on Thursday, Chenango Valley Pet Foods, of Shelburne, N.Y., announced it was recalling a variety of shipments of dry pet foods, including selected packets of: Doctors Foster & Smith Chicken & Brown Rice Formula Adult Lite Dog Food; Doctors Foster & Smith Chicken & Brown Rice Formula Adult Lite Cat Food; Lick Your Chops Lamb Meal, Rice & Egg Cat Food, and Bulk Chicken & Brown Rice Formula Adult Lite Dog Food.
In addition to melamine, the FDA has now found cyanuric acid in the rice protein concentrate and wheat gluten used in much of the pet food recalled over the past few weeks.
Like melamine, cyanuric acid is a chemical that can be used to boost the apparent protein content of foods. It is most often used as a stabilizer in outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs.
"The combination of melamine and cyanuric acid is of concern to human and animal health," Elder said. "Melamine, at detected levels, is not a human health concern."
The USDA will compensate hog farmers affected by the tainted pet food, Kenneth Peterson, an assistant administrator for field operations at the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, said during the teleconference.
"The pork and pork products from these animals will be destroyed," Peterson said. Each year, more than 105 million hogs are slaughtered in the United States, the AP noted.
Elder also announced that the FDA has been granted visas to go to China to look for the sources of the contamination.
On Thursday, China banned melamine from its food products, but rejected the charge that that the substance caused the pet deaths, the AP reported.
China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that there was no evidence to support the FDA's claim but that it would cooperate with the United States to find out what actually killed the animals.
"At present, there is no clear evidence showing that melamine is the direct cause of the poisoning or death of the pets," the statement said. "China is willing to strengthen cooperation with the U.S. side ... to find out the real cause leading to the pet deaths in order to protect the health of the pets of the two countries."
