What I Like!
This is the best Craftsman for value, cut, durability and overall satisfaction for your typical suburban yard and snow removal for your driveway. This Yard Tractor specifically has a 54 inch deck and 26 hp twin cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine. Please read my reviews of all the YT models so you can find the best yard tractor for you. Over the last 2 years I have mowed with this 54 inch deck and it will cut as well or better than any other comparable deck from all the other brands. You will not be disappointed with the cut. With correct blades for your lawn the fully vented deck has good lift for poor lawns and gets rid of the grass evenly and quickly for well kept lawns. With hi-lift blades both decks bag very well.

My Review:
Priced at about $900 less than the highly comparable D170 John Deere and $500 less than the Cub Cadet SLTX 1054 and the Ariens 54 this Craftsman Model 28858 is one of the best values on the market today. This model features the new Craftsman Turn Tight Technology, step through operator's platform, Briggs & Stratton oil pump lube engine with oil filter, and a 54 inch deck.
The 28858 has a pedal control hydrostatic transmission with cruise control. This transmission is easy to use and will perform well for mowing and medium duty yard tasks. (it drives more like your car)
If you want a mower that will mow 1 to 5 acres well, handle a snow thrower, and all the non-ground engaging attachments this is a great choice for you. This tractor is heavy enough to handle moderately hilly and rough lawns. There are other mowers in the Craftsman lineup that will mow faster, or pull more, but this is a great all around mowing machine. This lawn tractor is one riding mower that will work well for your large suburban lawn.
I like the mid-size YT 4500 series. I think they represent a good value and a machine that if taken care of properly will last you a long time. If I had more than 1 acre and didn't want to use it for gardening I would own one of these myself.
This yard tractor is capable of using all the non-ground engaging attachments Sears offers including a snow thrower.
The YT 4500 is heavy enough for a snow plow and snow thrower (with rear weights and chains). Craftsman does make 4 other models that have larger tires that are heavier for areas of the country that get a lot of snow.
This yard tractor has a high capacity deck that has a lot of airflow. Because of that when you install a mulch plug you will get some "blow by" when mowing dry grass. What that means is the deck will blow grass out the right front corner of the deck. You will get dirty mowing your lawn. If you use it for side discharge though it cuts very well and evenly.
Final Thoughts:
I personally feel the new Turn Tight Technology this yard tractor changes the game for just about all residential yard owners. For most of you this will mow as quickly as a residential zero-turn. It is easier to drive, is easier on your lawn and less expensive than the comparable zero-turn models. There is no "learning curve" like there is with a zero-turn. It will handle slopes that the residential zero-turns won't. And………it will pull stuff!
There are very few negatives with this mower as long as you understand that it is a good quality mower with a large deck. Take care of it (do the normal maintenance all lawn mowers need) and it will last you a long time. I like this lawn mower for what it is designed for. With the Turn Tight Technology and at around $1999 on sale it is a great value.

"The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men." – Samuel Adams
"Just once, I'd like to see a politician caught with his pants down (so to speak) not trot out his wronged wife to stand beside him as he issues his mea culpa… I guess the point of the exercise is to show voters that Spitzer is not such a creep that his wife won't stand by him. Problem is, by dragging his wife before the public, Client-9 shows himself to be an even bigger creep." – Debra Saunders
"Many in the media refer to Eliot Spitzer as some moral hero who fell from grace. Spitzer was never a moral hero. He was an unscrupulous prosecutor who threw his power around to ruin people, even when he didn't have any case with which to convict them of anything." – Thomas Sowell
"The biggest beneficiary of Hillary's '3 a.m.' ad is – John McCain. Of the three candidates, Americans believe he is best suited to be commander-in-chief by a lopsided margin. Hillary argued that when the tough times come, 'You have to be ready to make a decision.' You do, and Hillary isn't… In truth, neither Obama nor Hillary can name an accomplishment that qualifies them for the office they seek." – Ben Johnson
"McCain's greatest advantage is himself. His life story is compelling and something neither Clinton nor Obama can match. He can own the issue of national security. He must now convince voters that on domestic issues he is better able to manage the economy while reducing the size and cost of government." – Cal Thomas
"Who ever said that it is the responsibility of government to make life easy?" – Jim Geraghty
"[T]he Constitution is not a living organism. It's a legal document." – Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
"The only difference I've found in Congress between the Republican and Democratic leadership is that one of them is skinning us from the toes up and the other from the ears down." – Huey Long
"The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny." – Edmund Burke
"The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity." – James Fenimore Cooper
"A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is." – Karl Krauss
"What gives the new despotism its peculiar effectiveness is indeed its liaison with humanitarianism, but beyond this fact its capacity for entering into the smallest details of human life." – Robert Nisbet
Jay Leno: New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has admitted that he has been involved in a prostitution ring. This is the same man who when he was attorney general went after the prostitution rings. So apparently for not giving him good service. … [This] means Hillary Clinton [is] now only the second angriest wife in the state of New York. … Neither Barack nor Hillary can win the nomination outright. You know, because it's so close. So Hillary's kind of caught between Barack and a hard place. … Technically, neither of them can win. It shows you how bad it's gotten for the Democrats. Forget winning the general election, they can't even win their own election. … You know, there's talk in some Democratic circles of letting the states of Michigan and Florida re-vote. Today, Al Gore said, "Oh, now you think of this! Great!" … They're talking about a re-vote primary where people would mail in their ballots. That's a great idea, combine the reliability of the people in Florida who count the ballots with the efficiency of the Post Office. What could go wrong there?

I'm a stay at home mom. Some people may hear that and think my day is full of excitement and fun. Some people may hear that and think I am batcrap crazy. Some people may hear that and offer their apologies and still others may hear that and think 'wow, good for you!'. What are my thoughts on the whole stay at home mom topic? It's crazy, chaotic, exhausting, awesome, amazing, infuriating, and wonderful all at the same time. Mostly I feel exhausted which also means my brain isn't operating at it's full potential to put together a complete, coherent thought on that topic right now. That and all the noise going on around me makes it really (REALLY) hard to think.
So, is my day full of excitement? Sometimes. Some days there is a lot of excitement - kids learn something new, discover a new tv show (mom of the year ;), babies reach a new developmental milestone, lots of hugs and kisses are doled out, etc. Those are exciting days and they happen pretty frequently. There are also some really, really NOT exciting things in my day like laundry (neverending vicious cycle), dishes (I LOVE paper plates), laundry, diaper changes, laundry, cleaning, laundry, vacuuming, laundry, sweeping, laundry....you get the idea. The mom job seems to get glorified especially when we're little. What little girl doesn't want to be a mommy and have a house full of kids?!?
So, outside of my kids there is little excitement in my world and really that's ok. I didn't understand it before I had kids and I used to think people who basically gave up everything when they had kids were batcrap crazy but now I kind of get it. You don't give up everything - you find something new, better. It's not that you HAD to give it up and are pining away for it day after day it's that you've found something new, something better that you didn't realize would/could be better. Now, for sure there are things I miss and for sure you don't give up or replace everything. You still have to be you. Now, I know I'm not explaining this as well as I would like to but hopefully it makes a little sense.
Since my kids are basically my life and there aren't too many exciting things that happen away from them I'll leave you with some pictures of the littlest littles :)

STANDISH, Maine – The 2019 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) postseason accolades have been announced and five members of the Saint Joseph's College women's basketball team have been honored.
Headlining the awards for the Monks are Head Coach Mike McDevitt '83, who has been selected as the GNAC Coach of the Year for the third-consecutive season, and senior point guard Kelsi McNamara (West Newbury, Mass.), who has claimed GNAC Player of the Year honors for the second time in her career.
McNamara has also earned First Team All-Conference acclaim for the third-consecutive year, senior forward Emily Benway (Rochester, N.H.) is listed on the Second Team for the third-straight season, and senior guards Julia Champagne (Brunswick, Maine) and Hannah Marks (Waldoboro, Maine) have garnered Third Team All-GNAC accolades.
Having four women's basketball players earn All-GNAC honors is not a common occurrence, as this year's instance marks the first time since the 2010-11 campaign – when a quartet of Emmanuel players were honored – that four individuals from the same team received accolades.
McDevitt claims his fourth GNAC Coach of the Year award (2014, 2017, 2018, 2019) after leading the Monks to a 27-1 record, including a perfect 12-0 mark in conference play, this season. Under his watch in 2018-19, the Monks won 27-consecutive games to tie the longest winning streak in the history of both SJC Athletics and GNAC Women's Basketball and extended their home winning streak to 51 contests before falling to Emmanuel in the GNAC Championship on Saturday. For McDevitt, who owns a 555-194 (.741) all-time record, the postseason coaching accolade is the 14th of his career.
McNamara earns the second GNAC Player of the Year and third-consecutive First Team All-Conference honor after averaging 21.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game during her senior campaign. She leads the GNAC in three-pointers made (85), free throw percentage (88.1%, 118-134), assists (193), and assist/turnover ratio (2.6) and ranks third in points (587) and fourth in scoring average, field goals made (192), free throws made (118), and three-point percentage (37.6%, 85-226).
McNamara, who first claimed GNAC Player of the Year honors as a sophomore, ranks second in NCAA DIII Women's Basketball in assists, fifth in assists average (6.9 APG), sixth in points and three-pointers made, seventh in free-throw percentage, and 10th in assist/turnover ratio.
Among active NCAA DIII players, the four-year starter ranks first in career three-pointers made (319), second in assists (614) and three-point attempts (834), third in points (2,018), fourth in games (116), fifth in assists average (5.29) and field goal attempts (1,622), sixth in three-pointers made (2.75) and attempted (7.19) per game, ninth in field goals made (662), 11th in free-throw percentage (83.3%), 15th in scoring average (17.4 PPG), and 16th in free throws made (375).
In a win over Colby-Sawyer on January 15th, McNamara surpassed Kendra Coates '91 as the Monks' all-time leading scorer and versus Suffolk on February 21st she became the first player in program history to reach the 2,000-point mark. She is also the Monks' career leader in three-pointers made and attempted and the GNAC all-time leader in three-point field goals and assists.
Benway collects Second Team All-Conference honors for the third-consecutive season after averaging 12.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 56.9% (153-269) from the field in 28 starts this winter. She leads the GNAC in shooting percentage, ranks second in offensive rebounds (128), third in total rebounds (267), sixth in rebounding average, seventh in defensive rebounds (139), 10th in field goals made (153), and 13th in points (354).
On December 2nd, 2018 Benway became the 24th member of the Monks' 1,000-Point Club and heads into the NCAA Tournament this weekend with 1,275 points, the 10th-highest total in team history. She also ranks third in program history in field goal percentage (53.2%), sixth in rebounds (848), eighth in rebounding average (7.6), and ninth in field goals made (547).
Champagne is listed on the Third Team for the second-consecutive season after posting 13.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game in 28 starts this year. She is ranked fifth in the conference in three-point percentage (36.9%, 55-149), sixth in three-pointers made (55), 11th in points (380), 12th in field goal percentage (45.4%, 129-284), and 13th in assist/turnover ratio (1.4).
The third-year starter became the 25th member of the Monks' 1,000-Point Club in a win over Emmanuel on February 8th and heads into the NCAA tourney with 1,093 points, 564 rebounds, and 254 assists in 116 career games. She ranks seventh in program history in three-pointers made (128), eighth in three-point percentage (35.4%) and is one of just two players in the 41-year history of SJC women's basketball to register 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 250 assists (Carolyn Brooks '88 is the other).
Marks claims All-Conference honors for the first time in her career after averaging 11.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 28 starts this season. She led the GNAC in three-point shooting percentage (41.0%, 66-161) for the second year in a row and ranks third in the conference in three-pointers made (66) and fifth in assist/turnover ratio (1.6).
The second-year starter ranks second in program history in three-pointers made (183), fifth in three-point attempts (488), and sixth in three-point percentage (37.5%).
Saint Joseph's, ranked 12th and 14th in this week's Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and D3Hoops.com national polls, respectively, has earned an at-large berth into the 2019 NCAA DIII Tournament and will face MIT in a first-round game at Ithaca College on Friday at 5:00 PM.

Jonathan Meese – Hot Earl Green Sausage Tea Barbie (First Flush)
November 4 – December 23, 2011
Bortolami Gallery – 520 W 20th Street – New York
Hot Earl Green Sausage Tea Barbie (First Flush) is conceived as a continuation of his current Total Self-Portrait show at GEM (Museum voor Actuele Kunst) in The Hague, Netherlands. The exhibition includes a large-scale installation in the main space, in which photographs, posters, painted panels, bronze sculptures, paintings and wooden structures, act as a contemplation of himself as artist, a personal exploration of his assumed role. Since Meese's days as a student, performance and installation have been a pivotal part of his art, both formally and in content, always related to theater and film. His installations have been platforms for his ideas about the autonomy of art, which he expresses in the ubiquitous term "Dictatorship of Art."
As remarked in the catalogue of his exhibition at GEM: "At first glance, Meese's art has a raw, unscrupulous feel. It has the air of an exorcism, an artist responding to the violence and perversion of the modern world. On closer inspection, however, one discovers humor and a childlike approach. Meese's likeness appears in almost all his work. At first he would have himself photographed or depict himself in his role as artist, in his studio, along with paint and brushes. But Meese gradually began to assume roles: the prophet 'Meesiah', a dictator, a soldier, Dr. No, Humpty Dumpty. Increasingly unrecognizable and wearing masks, Meese became an uninhibited collector of characters." His new self-portrait paintings presented in our second gallery embody this freedom of role-playing and his inherent expressive flamboyance.

Special Cabinet meet in Aurangabad, Maharashtra on Oct 4, 2016
A special Cabinet meeting will be held here on October 4, the state government has said. The state government's decision of a special Cabinet meeting comes in the backdrop of the Maratha rallies. The meeting assumes significance as Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is planning district-wise projects to promote the agro-industries to accommodate the concerns of the educated unemployed youths across Maharashtra.
Apart from this, the work of 'Watergrid' system in Marathwada region in two phase on the line of Telangana, Gujrat and Tamilnadu is likely to discuss in the meeting to overcome the scarcity of drinking water in parched region. The focus of the meeting will be to take corrective steps to enhance the irrigation potential in the drought prone Marathwada through 'Jalyukat Shivar'.
Other issues including works of second and third phase of forthcoming Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) will also discussed in the cabinet, sources indicated. The last special cabinet was held under the Chief Minister ship of late Vilasrao Deshmukh in 2008.

A couple of weeks back, WWII veteran Leo Olson of Reedsburg, Wisconsin was turned away when he tried to vote in the state's primary election because the recent voter identification laws in the state recognize his veteran ID as valid.
Turns out that Leo's niece is state Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, who wrote in a letter to Governor Scott Walker, "It makes no sense to me that this proud patriot with a veterans card displaying his photo would be turned away from the polls and denied the right to vote."
The letter continues: "He considers voting part of his patriotic duty. Yet, last week this proud patriot of 90 years of age was embarrassed and confused when he went to the polls and was denied his right to vote. When he presented his veterans administration card with his picture on it, he was told that the card was not listed as 'acceptable' proof of his identity. He responded: 'You mean veterans can't vote?'"
According to Milwaukee's Journal-Sentinel newspaper, Judge Bradley says her 90-year-old uncle fought at Iwo Jima. At 90, he's most likely retired from driving. The law permits voters to use Wisconsin driver's licenses, state-issued ID cards, military IDs, passports, tribal IDs, naturalization certificates or limited types of college IDs, provided they also have documentation they are currently enrolled in school.
Many states have passed Voter ID laws with strong public support. Should a veterans ID card allow a citizen to vote in every state? Sound off!

Farmers Loan & Trust Co. v. Minnesota, 280 U.S. 204 (1930)
Farmers Loan & Trust Co. v. Minnesota
No. 26
Argued October 30, 1929
Decided January 6, 1930
1. The maxim mobilia sequuntur personam applies to negotiable bonds and certificates of indebtedness issued by a state or her municipality, as to ordinary choses in action, and they have situs for taxation -- in this case, a testamentary transfer tax at the domicile of their owner. P. 280 U. S. 209.
2. When negotiable bonds and certificates of indebtedness issued by a state or her municipality and not used in business in that state are owned at the time of his death by a person domiciled in another state in which they are kept, an attempt of the state in which they were issued to tax their transfer by inheritance is repugnant to the Fourteenth Amendment. Blackstone v. Miller, 188 U. S. 189, overruled. P. 280 U. S. 209.
3. Existing conditions imperatively demand protection of choses in action against multiplied taxation, whether following misapplication of some legal fiction or conflicting theories concerning the sovereign's right to exact contributions. P. 280 U. S. 212.
4. Taxation is an intensely practical matter, and laws in respect of it should be construed and applied with a view of avoiding, so far as possible, unjust and oppressive consequences. Id.
5. The Court can find no sufficient reason for saying that intangible property is not entitled to enjoy an immunity from being taxed at more than one place similar to that accorded to tangible property. P. 280 U. S. 212.
6. This case does not present the question whether choses in action that have acquired a situs for taxation other than at the domicile of their owner through having become integral parts of some local business may be taxed a second time at his domicile. P. 280 U. S. 213.
176 Minn. 634 reversed.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court of Minnesota upholding an inheritance tax. See also 175 Minn. 310; id. 314.

Arguing it's embarrassing that the United States stands apart from other developed counties with a lack of paid parental leave, groups are pushing the Republican National Convention Platform Committee to include it.
Arguing it's embarrassing that the United States stands apart from other developed counties with a lack of paid parental leave, groups are pushing the Republican National Convention Platform Committee to include it.
Innovation Ohio, a progressive policy group, will deliver an online petition later this week to Cleveland, where the RNC is set to begin its four-day event on Monday. The petition, posted on change.org as part of MTV's Elect This campaign to engage young voters, has more than 50,000 signatures.
"When you think about those that need this benefit the most, it really is hourly workers who don't have any choices. They are truly choosing between their job and their family when you do not give a benefit of paid family leave," said Elizabeth Brown, a Columbus councilwoman and leader of the online petition drive.
Brown and others are calling for both political parties to include paid leave in their platforms. The Democratic draft platform includes a call for national paid family and medical leave of at least 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a new child or address a serious family health issue.
Brown said she got heavily involved in the issue about 18 months ago when she became pregnant, but her employer, the city of Columbus, did not offer paid family leave.
"I was pretty frustrated that I didn't have this benefit, to put it mildly," she said. After being elected to council in November, Brown has been working on a policy for the city.
Four states have passed paid family leave policies - California, Washington, Rhode Island and New Jersey. Cities including Cincinnati and Dayton also offer it to their workers.
Supporters say only 13 percent of workers have access to paid family leave.
"I did the math. It doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money," said Heather Whaling, president of Geben Communication in Columbus, who provides all employees 10 weeks of full paid parental leave.
"Paid leave shouldn't just be a glamorous, Silicon Valley perk," she said. "New parents face enough challenges and stress…they shouldn't also have to cope with the financial burden that comes with unpaid leave."
The investment into paid leave, Whaling said, is worth the benefit of increased morale and job satisfaction, and not having new parents come back too soon and underperform.
Ohio Democrats in April introduced a 12-week paid leave bill that has not gone anywhere. Brown said that, ultimately, a national standard is needed.
"Americans shouldn't have to sacrifice a paycheck just to start a family or care for a loved one in a medical emergency," said Keary McCarthy, president of Innovation Ohio.

UP by-elections: What went wrong for the BJP
The by-elections at Gorakhpur and Phulpur were a keenly watched affair. The elections became necessary after both the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister vacated their seats.
Gorakhpur considered to be a bastion of UP CM, Yogi Adityanath is witnessing a surprise with the SP-BSP candidate spoiling the party for the BJP.
This contest had become more of a prestige battle and losing here is a setback for the BJP. In 2014, Yogi had won with a margin of 3,00,000 votes. He won almost half the votes polled.
In Phulpur, it was Keshav Prasad Maurya, the deputy chief minister of UP who had polled 52 per cent of the votes in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Maurya was himself was taken by surprise. He was expecting that there would be a late surge for the BJP but later said that he did not expect that the BSP votes would transfer to the SP in such a manner.
In Phulpur, the BJP would have hoped that don-turned-politician, Ateeq Ahmed would eat into the SP's vote share. Further, the party was wary of the fact that at least 50 per cent of the Dalit vote would go to the SP.
In Gorakhpur, the SP-BSP combine took advantage of the fact that for the first time a representative of the Gorakhnath Mutt was not a BJP candidate. Nishads, the OBC community have been the traditional supporters of Adityanath. The fact that he was not the candidate could have swung the votes in favour of the SP.
However, the coming together of the SP-BSP certainly has helped them. Both the Lok Sabha constituencies consist of ten assembly segments. The BJP had won nine of the ten in the 2017 UP elections. However if one looks at the combined vote share of the BSP-SP and Congress, it would have left the BJP with one seat. The SP and BSP had together polled 44 per cent of the votes. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the SP and BSP had polled 38.7 per cent of the votes when compared to the BJP's 52 per cent.

"Did you know that if we write a song together, and you write only the lyrics and I write only the music(melody and rhythm), each of us owns a piece of the music and each of us owns a piece of the lyrics? And that neither of us can use just the music, or just the lyrics, without paying the other?"
The write up above is an extract from the book "All you need to know about the music business" fifth edition by America's top entertainment lawyer Donald S. Passman.
In Nigeria, creating a song usually falls in the hands of the following individuals: producer, artist, studio engineer (if the producer does not double as an engineer), backup artist (if need be) and not so often we use songwriters. Because we are yet to realize there is totally nothing wrong with having a songwriter *excluding rappers lol where it is called ghostwriting and is considered as being a weak artist* pardon me for refraining from the topic. After all the listed individuals, then we have the mighty record label *chuckles*.
Other parts that make up a song creativity that we rarely use in Nigeria but is common in the united states are composers, sample owners. Mentioning a few so i don't bore you to sleep. *smack* WAKE UP!
In the states, all individuals mentioned who performed in creating the song own a right to a piece of the song even after been paid a fee for their service as an advance or even studio session collected by the producer. He or she still owns part of the royalty even if it's as low as 1 percent. The reason is that the song is a finished product that took all of them time to make and they own a part of it for as long as possible.
These royalties are calculated from any use of the song in tours, performances, tv/radio/dj usage, movies or in cases where the song is been used in part or full remake of a new song in the future. Yep!
You will get paid for contributing to the song for life. Now these rights can range from a mere 1 percent of the finished song to 10/20% or more depending on the agreement and the percentage of contribution especially for song writers.
Let's take bank alert by psquare as a case study here, not only would they pay onyeka onwenu as the sample owner for her classic song "iyogogo" she also owns a set percentage in royalties for as long as the song exists. and if psquare had used a song writer, composer? They also own rights same as the producer/engineer after been paid for studio session still own a tiny percent in royalties as well.
Also we do not have record publishers in Nigeria, or maybe we do but it's muddled up somewhere in some conflicting position headed by someone in the unstructured music labels that we have. a publisher should be the link to a song between the artist, songwriter and its usage by movies, prints, digital media and future records etc in order to help set deals and claim royalties. Such fees in the United States are electronic or automatic under a proper record contract; each individual gets his share either in check mailed to him or in his bank account directly from whoever is paying for the usage. So you don't have to worry if the record label refuses you your share, or the artist holds on to your cut. Yeah! The greasy slimebags.
The killer of owning any rights to a song in the United States is called "works for hire". This is simply spelled out as the term, you are hired only to work, from the onset you are been paid a fee to work for hire and leave. hence you do not own any right, so you might wanna charge a lot of cash to be used as a work for hire. depends on your clout as a song writer, it would be silly if as an unknown song writer you are charging an exorbitant price but it's okay since you get to walk away if the deal is not made likewise the artist knows your stand and if he or she desperately wants you then you might cash out for your expertise. But in Nigeria, most of these rights are either under developed or non-existing. this is as a result of poor structure, lack of attention to details and not only does this adversely affect revenue, it also closes doors for job opportunities as some of these functions and roles are not in place. Naija, we too like wuruwuru to the answer.
No time!
Copyrighting a song has to be originally your work but if it contains samples then you can copyright it in parts i.e psquare cannot entirely copyright their song titled bank alert because it contains samples from onyeka onwenu's classic song iyogogo.

Placed in its own subfamily on basis of primitive skeletal characters, which suggest link with trumpeters of family Psophiidae. Sometimes divided into three races, with recognition of petiti (Gabon to C DRCongo) and whitesidei (SC & E DRCongo), but in view of great individual variation in plumage within ranges of all three proposed races, and overlap of characters between them, species probably best treated as monotypic until more extensive studies made.

Jenny Pitman OBE is a legendary racehorse trainer and Author. Jenny Pitman was born in 1946 and grew up on a farm in Leicestershire. She told her father that if she couldn't spend all her time with horses, she'd join a circus. At 15 she left school and began working – in stables.
In the 70s, Jenny Pitman opened her own stables and began her career as a national hunt racehorse trainer. Her toughness and plain speaking helped her to penetrate a world where a woman trainer was unheard of and unwelcome. After her first marriage failed, she was left with two young sons and considerable financial difficulties. Her talent and determination paid off and with her innate understanding and patience with horses and the help of her second husband she became an unrivalled success as a trainer.
Her horses have won two Grand Nationals and she was the first woman to train a Cheltenham Gold Cup Winner in 1984 and went on to win the race a second time in 1991. Jenny Pitman's talent as a racehorse trainer has brought her many awards and in 1998 she was awarded an OBE.
Jenny Pitman's other achievements include becoming Racing Manager to Robert Hichins, a national newspaper columnist, author and a guest speaker.

Vaccinations help your pet's immune system fight diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. Vaccinating your animal to prevent diseases, such as kennel cough and parvovirus, is safer and more cost effective than treating your pet once he or she has contracted the disease. Chisholm Trail Veterinary Clinic recommends only those vaccinations that are essential to your animal's health; therefore, we do not recommend overvaccination. We consider factors such as your pet's age, vaccination history, and risk of exposure to tailor a vaccination plan specifically suited to your dog or cat.
Your new puppy or kitten requires several sets of vaccinations for optimal immunity. When a puppy or kitten is nursing, he or she ingests maternal antibodies that can neutralize some of the effects of the vaccinations. The maternal antibodies gradually decrease during the first eight weeks of your pet's life. Our veterinarians discuss this with you and determine the most effective immunization schedule for your new animal.
The vaccinations for the following, easily prevented diseases are the most important to ensure your cat or dog's healthy life. Please contact our staff at Chisholm Trail Veterinary Clinic if you have any questions regarding vaccinations and disease prevention.

Odds favor a return this year of the climate phenomenon known as El Niño — above-average sea surface temperatures in the equatorial tropical Pacific Ocean and related changes in weather patterns.
Why it matters: Depending on their intensity and exact location, El Niño events can alter global weather patterns — favoring above average precipitation in the parched state of California, for example, while inducing drought elsewhere. Typically, such events develop sometime in late summer or early fall, and peak during the winter.

21y male.. 5 years ago I had repeated fevers I used many medicine indiscriminately since then I have been suffering from low grade fever, excessive saliva at night, dark and less urine, after 2 years symptoms progressed with Lump in throat during and after eating fatty/oily food, milk, juices etc, (it feels like nutrients fackflow), feel full with abdominal discomfort (not pain) after eating and when sleeping on front, fatigue, weakness, peeling scalp hair fall, I can also see a bit abdominal hair fall on my banyan.. I have tested for hepatitis b/c and were negative, also had ultrasound and was intact. Appetite is good.. Thanks
Doctor Answers And Comments Below:
Have you checked your blood glucose and CBC?
Diabetes can cause your symptoms, also sever anemia
I also recommend doing a urine analysis and GFR to check your kidney
Good Luck
Thanks for the query..
Well you have acid reflux for most apparent symptoms of lump in throat and liquid coming up..
But the urine related problems is pointing towards renal problems..
A renal function test along with calcium, sodium and potassium levels should be done..
Along with it Hemogram should also be done..
Hope this helps..
this seems to be due to anemia and kidney function derangements.
get blood checked .
a possibility of underlying hormonal/electrolyte imbalance should be kept in mind.
In my opinion this all could be a mixed from acid reflux,GERD and a kidney problem, or low water intake, you can get a kidney function tests done and also there is a possibility of celiac disease or lactose intolerance,this is hardly diagnosed unless you make a food diary and monitor symptoms..

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. – Eleonora Duse
There are few things worth doing that are more ephemeral than a freshly mowed, trimmed, and blown lawn. Fleeting as it is, the weekly completion of this set of tasks brings a certain satisfaction. I guess I should be thankful I have a beautiful lawn to maintain, I am sure there are plenty of folks that don't but wish they did.
I shouldn't lament my fate of sweating away the afternoons outside rather than playing some poker at one of my favorite online poker sites in the cool comfort of my home on scorching summer days. If one has the time, playing some online poker is a fine way to spend a lazy afternoon.
However, living in the verdant south, frequent lawn maintenance is a reality of life. If one falls behind, one pays the price of working extra hard to restore it and no amount of online poker, not even winning at Triple 8 Poker can make me forget about the sweaty reality waiting for me outside.
When I was a youth (online poker did not even exist) and tasked with mowing the family's lawn, I would complain to my father that by fertilizing (the lawn) he was just making my job more difficult. I just didn't appreciate the desire to have a lush, beautiful lawn and the sense of pride it evokes. As a homeowner now myself, I get it. Don't get me wrong, far from being one to obsess over the lawn, I just know it has to get done and one may as well try to enjoy it, too.
This weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the pecan tree I planted 6 years ago (just prior to my first son being born) has sprouted its first pecans. All my fruit trees produced fruit the 2nd year they were in the ground but the pecan tree never had until this year. I had actually been working in the yard all morning (without noticing them) before I finally looked up and saw the lovely little bunches of still green nuts all over the tree. My thoughts, of course, were elsewhere all morning imagining I was getting the nuts on the green felt (sigh).
The heat and humidity make it an almost unbearable task in the hottest months but during the more comfortable months, working out on the lawn can be downright pleasant. There is certainly no denying the pleasure of relaxing on the lawn, grilling some meat (and a few vegetables), and enjoying a few cold ones after the job is done but what I am really looking forward to is passing the torch (of lawn maintenance and its odd sense of satisfaction) on to my boys. Now, where's my laptop? The virtual felt beckons!

UK–India economic and trade relations grow from strength to strength as UK's Department for International Trade marks its first anniversary….reports Asian Lite News
UK's International Trade Secretary, Dr Liam Fox marks the Department for International Trade's (DIT) first anniversary by encouraging British businesses to export, building on the UK's history as a great trading nation.
As a leading advocate of free trade and open markets DIT is helping UK businesses to seize the exciting opportunities posed by trade with the rest of the world and is working with key trading partners to strike trade deals once we have left the EU.
DIT has already helped to secure billions of pounds in export opportunities, and since its creation in July 2016, the department has also supported:
ñ a trade mission to India which resulted in £1.2 billion worth of business deals
ñ the largest ever healthcare trade mission to China which saw British organisations sign deals worth more than £250 million
ñ UK architecture firms to secure a contract worth tens of millions of pounds in UAE
DIT has also set up ten trade working groups across 15 countries to strengthen trade and commercial ties with our key trading partners around the world.
Recent figures revealed that the UK attracted more foreign direct investment projects than ever before in the year 2016-17. With more than 2,200 projects recorded, the post-referendum figures showed an increase of two percent over the previous year. The data also showed that 75,226 new jobs were created, and 32,672 safeguarded, amounting to over 2,000 jobs per week across the country.
"Over the past twelve months we've helped secure more foreign direct investment projects than ever before, supported thousands of UK businesses on their export journey, and continue to promote the UK's trade values across the world", said International Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox.
"Britain has always been a great trading nation and we want to agree a deep and special partnership with the EU including a bold and ambitious free trade agreement and a customs agreement. And as we leave the EU, we will be able to take advantage of the growing global markets and design a trade relationship in Britain's national interest. There has never been a better time for our dynamic and creative businesses to export their goods and services abroad", he added.
Latest trade statistics show that UK exports of goods and services have increased – exports stand at £547.6 billion – up 23.2% on 2010 and up 5.8% on 2015*. India's relations with the UK have continued to thrive, and it remains one of the UK's largest investors. India established 127 new investment projects last year, as the UK's fourth largest investor. Whilst adding 3,999 new jobs, India safeguarded more jobs than any other country, at 7,645 existing jobs. This demonstrates real commitment to the fundamental and unchanged strengths of the UK economy.
The UK has also strengthened its position as the single largest G20 investor in India, supporting close to 800,000 jobs, according to the CBI's second Sterling Assets India report, supported by PwC and the UK India Business Council.
"The vibrant economic relationship between India and the UK continues to flourish, as the consistently strong figures on bilateral trade and investment show. Our Department for International Trade, celebrating its first anniversary, is central to ensuring that the bilateral business relationship is flourishing, driving jobs and growth in both economies. As Prime Minister Modi said, the UK and India are an 'unbeatable combination' and there's a lot more to come", said Dr. Alexander Evans, Acting British High Commissioner to India
The Department for International Trade
The Department for International Trade is responsible for delivering a new trade policy framework for the UK and promoting British trade and investment across the world, to ensure Britain is firmly at the forefront of global trade and investment.
Through great.gov.uk, the department gives UK businesses access to millions of pounds' worth of potential overseas business, helping them start or increase exporting with more than 2.4 million visits to the website so far.
Last month internationally recognised expert Crawford Falconer was appointed as Chief Trade Negotiation Adviser to act as head of profession for trade negotiators, bringing over 25 years of public service in trade and foreign affairs.
Also last month, the Department announced that duty-free access to the UK for imports from nations across the developing world will be maintained after Brexit. The move means that around 48 countries, including Bangladesh, Haiti and Ethiopia, will continue to benefit from the arrangements on all goods bought by the UK.

Some people have a rental property because they inherited a home. Others may have seen it as a good investment. Regardless of why they own the property, all would like it to be profitable for them. Rental units can be profitable if they are managed correctly. This can be done in several different ways.
Scottsdale real estate investment professionals know the value of making smart decisions with their rental property. They charge a rental fee that will gives them room for profit, but does not overprice the unit. They are proactive about repairs and upkeep so the property maintains value. Most importantly, they are vigilant about only leasing space to reputable tenants by doing background checks, requiring references and by monitoring the property to make certain rules are being followed.
Many homeowners do this work for themselves, some hire a landlord to oversee the property and others hire a property management company. There may not always be a "correct" method, but the one that matches the amount of hands-on control the owner would like is usually the option that will work best for them.
The choice that requires the largest amount of responsibility is managing the rental alone. This is best for people who are close enough to visually inspect the property regularly and are available to collect rent, make repairs and interview prospective tenants. Landlords reduce a lot of the responsibility, but they are usually not able to create any policies. They are simply in place to enforce the wishes of the owner.
A property management company may allow property owners to make their own rules, but they typically have a set policy of their own that is consistent across all of the rentals they manage. They are generally the ones who do everything and then provide financial statements and reports monthly to the owner. They are a good solution for property owners who are out of the area, not interested in the effort a rental requires or are only renting until the house sells. Many houses for rent in Chandler are managed by companies that provide rental management services and list and sell homes too.
Only the homeowner can decide what method is best for them. A good solution is to meet with a management company and learn about the options they have available. They are a good contact for anyone with interest in buying, renting or selling property.

It is a common practice on the market to advertise products with high % of CBD like "25% CBD oil". After examining its contents closely, we may find in a majority of cases, that those high numbers refer not to the percentage of CBD in whole product, but only to the percentage of CBD in extract, that is only partially present in whole product.
So, for instance, one of the leading sellers on the market claims to sell 25% CBD oils. The details, however, contradict that – 10 ml is roughly 10.000 mg consisting of 9.500 mg of hemp oil and 500 mg extract. Those 25% are related only to the extract part – meaning it is in fact just 150 mg! We explain this further in one of our blog posts here.
With CBDex® our customers know exactly what they are buying: the % always represents how much CBD is in the full bottle. So, 5% in a 10-ml bottle is 500 mg of CBD, in a 20-ml bottle it is 1.000 mg.

Brushless Forward/Brake
Upgrade-Kit Pearl - Pearl Mod+Stock Speed-Control
This upgrade-kit turns all your NOSRAM pearl speedos into modified & stock speed controls!
Art. no.: 90999
As of today, all modified and stock racers around the world are united by a common goal regarding brushless speed controls. NOSRAM releases the brand new upgrade-kit pearl mod+stock to get your existing pearl evolution speed control version 1 and version 2 up to the top of brushless speed control technology. It caters perfectly for both classes and still offers enough opportunities for your individual adjustment. From now on, modified- and stock drivers have a common goal when it comes to brushless speed controls.
Moreover, the upgrade-kit pearl mod+stock also fixes the existing problems with the BEC of the pearl evolution version 2.
The new kit was completely redesigned form scratch. The hard- and software have nothing in common with the previous version. For instance, the new linear BEC is also by for more stable. The adaption of the voltage to the BEC as well as to the controller, make the overall system faster and more resistant against malfunctions.
You can easily insert the new upgrade-kit pearl mod+stock. Remove the old board out of pearl evolution v1 & v2, plug-in the new board and fix it with 4 screws. Now the new speedo can already be used for modified and stock racing. This new speed control offers 10 profiles newly created, optimised and adapted to the hardware. 5 profiles each for modified and stock allow even finer adjustments of the drive system to the track or the weather.

Underage Drinking – Changing the Culture Climate
HPDICE received a stipend through the U.S Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to conduct an event on the Prevention of underage drinking. HPDICE serves the Hilton Parma area however to help expand the message beyond the Hilton Parma Community, reached out to The Villa of Hope, Greece and Spencerport High Schools inviting them to participate. Project Sticker Shock was held April 24 – May 5 where 61 students placed 4,250 lime green warning stickers on alcohol products at participating retailers. The stickers remind customers that it is a crime to purchase, serve or provide alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. "Our retailers do a great job of carding purchasers. This effort is meant to go a step further at keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors", said Stephanie Dawson, the Villa of Hope Prevention Coordinator.
In 2017, Monroe County's Youth Risk Behavior Assessment reported:- 11% of youth had their first alcohol drink before the age of 13- 15% engaged in binge drinking one or more times during the past month- 27% had at least 1 alcohol drink within the last month where 40% were given the alcohol by someone else, 19% took it from home and 17% gave someone else money to buy it for them.
The Prevention Team that helped to plan and coordinate the event at multiple locations included Stephanie Dawson and Aimee Fedele from The Villa of Hope, Jillian Peer from Hilton Schools, Kate Zobkiw and Doug Hanson from Spencerport Schools and Stephanie Rago from Greece Schools.
We sincerely appreciate and Thank the following retailers for participating in this important event, TOPS Mt. Read, TOPS Hilton, TOPS Spencerport, Dells Market & Deli, North Greece Grocery, Crosbys Parma, Island Cottage Rd Mobil Station.
Youth, Young Adults and Adults participating in the event represented the Spencerport Driver Education Class, Service Learning Internship Program, The Villa of Hope, Mike Giruzzi Hilton Athletic Director, Hilton Boys and Girls Lacrosse Teams & Girl Scouts, Kathy Graupman, Greece CSD Superintendent, Dave Richardson Principal Athena High School, Athena Varsity Baseball and Greece Varsity Boys Lacrosse Team.
Stephanie Rago shared, "It was a great event. Both the kids and adults really enjoyed it!"
"With prom and graduation season upon us, it is imperative for parents to be aware of the increased risk of teen alcohol parties occurring and the potential dangers that accompany those alcohol-fueled gatherings. Simply taking away the car keys does not solve all the problems related to underage drinking", reminded Jillian Peer.
Prevention Coordinators discussed the dangers of underage drinking with their youth teams and how this campaign can benefit their communities.
"I am so excited to be partnering with these other schools." said Laurie Polatas HPDICE Project Coordinator. "Together, we are working to raise awareness that underage drinking is a crime and that there are legal consequences for providing alcohol to minors. We hope this event will highlight and encourage more partnerships between community organizations, youth, retail establishments, law enforcement, and other community members to reduce underage drinking in our community."

Who is gardening whom?
Lacinato kale, lovage and leeks
There is a philosophy of produce gardening that defines the act of cultivation as an interspecies wrangle. I suppose that is so. I certainly do a lot of killing in the garden, killing at a scale that leads my vegetarian conscience to blanch at times. The veg garden also provides an opportunity for lots of flora and fauna to take advantage of ME. For instance, the species brassica in its many forms: I am a sucker for the whole lot. I have planted entirely too many collards, kale and broccoli for normal family consumption. Its general pest-free status has enabled the things to thrive, too. And isn't this plant PRETTY?

I don't know about you, but I don't grow much of the brassica because they are some of the buggiest things to come out of the garden! (But it is pretty.)
- El said...
Hi Carol
Nope; my brassicas are mostly bug-free (and thus entertain notions of world- or rather garden-domination). It is the squash plants that get buggy around here. In point of fact, the zucchini and yellow squash have Friday slated as Doomsday, I cannot abide the squash bugs so much.
- Christa said...
That's some beautiful kale! I haven't ever tried growing kale. Like Carol, I too have been having trouble with buggy brassicas. I might have to ban them from the garden for awhile, which is a shame, because I like all kinds of brassicas.

Acid dyes are dyes that are commonly applied to textiles at low pH and consist of acidic molecules. When acid dyes are dissolved, the process of dyeing with acid dyes mainly takes place in water and therefore can interact with the dyed material. Acid dyes are highly water-soluble and have better light fastness than basic dyes. Textile acid dyes are effective for the dyeing of protein fibers such as silk, wool, nylon and modified acrylics. They contain sulfonic acid groups, usually present as sodium sulfonates. These increase the solubility of dyes in water and give the dye molecules a negative charge.
Types of Acid Dyes
According to leveling performance, economy of dyeing and fastness properties, acid dyes fall into three categories:
Neutral acid dye: Neutral acid dyes are supra milling or fast acid dyes with moderate to good wet fastness properties and some of them have poor light fastness in light shades. Many neutral acid dyes are only used as their own shades. They are applied to fibers at weakly acidic or neutral pH.
Weak acid dye: These dyes belong to the milled dyes. These dyes have good fastness properties, but light fastness is moderate to poor.
Strong acid dye: These dyes are used in strongly acidic media, also known as leveling dyes, but the wet fastness properties are limitation. These dyes are very suitable for making a combination of shades.
Industry use: The acid used in the dye bath is usually vinegar or citric acid. The dye absorption rate is controlled by using sodium chloride. In textiles dyeing, acid dyes are effective for dyeing protein fibers, for example, animal hair fibers such as wool, alpaca, and mohair. They are also effective for silk and nylon dyeing but have minimum interest in dyeing any other synthetic fibers.
Medical use: Acid dyes are used to stain basic tissue proteins during microscopic examinations for diagnosis or research. In contrast, basic dyes are used to stain acidic components of the nucleus and other tissues.

GOP Candidates Touch on Hispanic Health in Debate
Seven Republican presidential candidates on Sunday at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla., discussed health care during a Spanish-language debate co-sponsored by the university and Univision that focused on issues related to Hispanics, the Wall Street Journal reports (Meckler [1], Wall Street Journal, 12/10).
The debate in large part focused on immigration, but some of the candidates discussed health care. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee criticized filmmaker Michael Moore for claims in his documentary "Sicko" that Cuba has a higher-quality health care system than the U.S. "I don't mind shipping him down there, but the rest of us I'd like to get health care right here," he said (Dinan, Washington Times, 12/10).
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney cited the need to expand health insurance to more U.S. residents to improve access to care. He said, "The best kind of prevention you can have in health care is to have a doctor. And if someone doesn't have a doctor, doesn't have a clinic they can go to, doesn't have health insurance to be able to provide the prescription drugs they need, you can't be healthy."
In addition, Romney discussed a recently implemented Massachusetts health insurance law that requires all residents to obtain coverage and provides subsidies for lower-income residents. According to Romney, "It cost us no more money to help people buy insurance policies that they could afford than it was costing us before, handing out free care."
Former Sen. Fred Thompson (Tenn.) cited the need to revise the tax code to expand health insurance to more U.S. residents. U.S. residents "need, through the tax code, ... to have the benefit of buying their own insurance through an open market with more sources, more people offering insurance, lifting regulations to make that happen," he said.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (Calif.), Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) also participated in the debate (AP/Wichita Eagle [1], 12/9).
Former President Bill Clinton, husband of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), on Saturday in South Carolina promoted her proposal to expand health insurance to all U.S. residents, the AP/Eagle reports.
During a speech to a graduate chapter of the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, Bill Clinton said that the proposal would provide health insurance for all 672,000 uninsured South Carolina residents and save the average family in the state about $2,200 in health care costs annually.
In addition, Bill Clinton met with several physicians, nurses and administrators from the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital to discuss the proposal.
He said, "We need to pass a universal health care program. We have a much better chance to succeed than we did in '93." Bill Clinton added, "It's both morally unacceptable and economically unsustainable to do what we're doing now" (Smith, AP/Wichita Eagle, 12/8).
Huckabee on Saturday at a news conference defended comments he made during his 1992 Senate race in which he advocated the quarantine of HIV/AIDS patients, the AP/Eagle reports.
In response to a questionnaire submitted by the Associated Press, Huckabee wrote, "If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague." He also wrote that HIV/AIDS research received an unfair share of federal funds (DeMillo, AP/Wichita Eagle, 12/8).
On Saturday, Huckabee said that, at the time he made the comments, whether HIV/AIDS patients could spread the disease through casual contact remained undetermined (Meckler [2], Wall Street Journal, 12/10). He said, "Medical protocol typically says that if you have a disease for which there is no cure, and you are uncertain about the transmission of it, then the first thing you do is that you quarantine or isolate carriers." He added, "If I were making those same comments today, I might make them a little differently" (DeMillo, AP/Wichita Eagle, 12/8).
Fox News Channel's "Fox News Sunday" included a discussion with Huckabee about his comments on HIV/AIDS during his 1992 Senate campaign and other issues (Wallace, "Fox News Sunday," Fox News Channel, 12/9).
A transcript of the segment is available online.

Why Messy Play?
Messy Play is immensely beneficial to a child's development. It helps them to develop concentration and problem-solving, conversation skills, curiosity in the world, imagination and social development. Messy Play provides children with an opportunity to express themselves creatively.
Many of the children who come to a Messy Play become engrossed in an activity, sometimes for the whole session. You can see their wonder at digging in soil to find bulbs or their fascination as they mix paint colours into gloop. It is an opportunity to play without boundaries. We always looking for new ways to allow the children to explore at Messy Play, no two sessions are ever the same.
Why come to a Messy Session?
As parents ourselves we know that it can be difficult and challenging to find space and time to introduce Messy play at home, paint prints on the walls, glitter stuck to the floor and play dough in the carpet is not a pleasant prospect. However we also know how much fun children have doing these activities especially with the choice and variety that is offered at Messy Play. We offer a space that is safe for children to explore in and for parents to enjoy enhancing their development. Children can also interact with peers and this is excellent in preparing them for preschool and developing social skills.
Each Messy Play session is different, we use our knowledge and experience to provide a variety of different activities. We are constantly looking for inspiration and new activities to keep each session engaging. A key part of Messy Play is the take home creation. We have found that children and parents love taking a memento of the session home to show other family members and talk about what they did.
When and Where is Messy Hands?
Our regular location are Ballincollig (Thursdays) and Killarney (Friday's) , please also have a look at our bookings page to find out where are next Messy Play is being held and for additional locations.
What should we wear to Messy Hands?

If you have any more questions about our messy sessions or would like to make a booking, please do so via our Contact page, on email firstname.lastname@example.com or contact Esther on 086 409 5291.

Raptors beat Hornets, end 14-game road slideNov 29, 2006 - 3:26 AM OKLAHOMA CITY (Ticker) -- Chris Bosh and the Toronto Raptors have had trouble winning on the road until they encountered the New Orleans Hornets, who have problems of their own.
Bosh scored 11 of his 19 points in a telling third quarter and added 14 rebounds as the Raptors ended a 14-game road losing streak with a 94-77 victory over the slumping, banged-up Hornets.
Anthony Parker also scored 19 points for the Raptors, who received 45 points from their bench and won on the road for the first time since March 21 of last season at New York.
"We needed it; we've been close a few times," said Raptors coach Sam Mitchell, whose team was 0-7 on the road this season. "We played well when we needed it. We got some timely stops and some timely baskets and we talked about if we get a lead to try and build on it with defense."
"That was a big monkey (off our back)," Bosh said. "We played well. They jumped on us early, but we stayed on them and rebounded well, and in the end we only gave them one shot."
Playing without injured starting forwards Peja Stojakovic (back) and David West (forearm), the Hornets lost their fourth straight game. Without their leading scorers and two of their better perimeter shooters, they were neutralized by a zone defense and shot 42 percent (32-of-77) from the field.
"Our zone was big for us, and we finished it off with rebounding, especially with Rasho (Nesterovic) and Andrea Bargnani," Mitchell said. "It's hard to shoot over those guys in the zone. They don't have to block shots, just change shots."
"We got some good looks against their zone, but we just didn't knock down shots," said forward Rasual Butler, who scored 13 points on 6-of-16 shooting. "I didn't knock down shots. We got to find a way to get it done and get our swagger back."
There were no such problems for the Raptors, who have won consecutive games for the first time this season. They grabbed the lead for good in the second quarter and took control in the third, when Bosh got hot and the Hornets went cold.
Bosh had a three-point play and two free throws in a 9-0 run that closed the quarter and gave Toronto a 72-59 lead. That began a stretch where the Hornets went nearly 5 1/2 minutes without a bucket.
A layup and jumper by top overall draft pick Bargnani, who scored a season-high 16 points, extended the advantage to 83-64 with 6:58 to play and silenced the usually raucous Ford Center.
"I was happy to get the win," Bargnani said. "I did not know I got it until I was in the locker room, but I felt good and I'm happy with my job."
Despite extended garbage time, the Hornets scored just 32 points in the second half.
"Right now it's not our defense that's letting us down, it's not hitting open shots, and not getting rebounds," guard Bobby Jackson said. "I'm not hitting open shots and it's really hurting the team."
Joey Graham scored 14 points and Jose Calderon added 13 for the Raptors, who shot 45 percent (35-of-78). The bench made 18-of-34 shots.
"We feel like part of our strengths is depth at certain positions," Mitchell said. "T.J. (point guard T.J. Ford) didn't have it tonight, but Jose stepped in and ran the ballclub great. We're going to ride our bench as long as we can."
Chris Paul had 16 points and 11 assists and Tyson Chandler grabbed 17 rebounds for the Hornets, who received just 23 points from their bench.
"Again, another team has come to our home and outplayed and outworked us," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "One thing we did a lot last year was show resiliency. We aren't showing that right now.
"I expect us after a three-game losing streak to come out and play hard and we didn't execute. We are hoping a team gives us a win or hope they are feeling a little sorry for us because we are missing our top two scorers."
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!
