The Tampa FBI Field Office will investigate reports of fraudulent letters sent to Tampa Bay area voters questioning their eligibility, a news release said Wednesday.
Steven E. Ibison, special agent in charge of the office, authorized the probe after voters in Manatee and Sarasota, as well as in counties across the state, complained they had received fake letters saying that their eligibility as a registered voter was in question, it said.
The FBI recommended that anyone who receives such a letter should immediately contact their local supervisor of elections office.
If the letter is determined to be a hoax, the individual should keep it and call the nearest FBI office, which in our area is in Tampa at 1-866-838-1153, the release said.
Meanwhile, local elections officials have not established whether any particular group of voters were targeted with fake letters questioning their eligibility, they said Wednesday.
Asked if he had any theories about who the fake letters were being sent to, Manatee Supervisor of Elections Bob Sweat said, "I really don't."
He has been checking whether voters of a certain political party received fraudulent letters, many of which bear postmarks from Washington state, but he said he does not have enough data to make a conclusion.
The office of Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent Wednesday reported similar results, saying no pattern has emerged.
Statewide, a significant majority of the letters were sent to Republicans, but some Democrats received them as well, said Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Florida Department of State, which is investigating the matter along with law enforcement agencies.
Late Wednesday, Cate said more counties had reported that voters had received fake missives; it brought the total number of counties affected to 28 statewide.
They include Bay, Brevard, Broward, Collier, Clay, Duval, Escambia, Hillsborough, Indian River, Jackson, Lee, Leon, Levy, Liberty, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota, St. Johns, St. Lucie, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia, Cate said.
Beginning earlier this week, elections officials said got complaints from local voters who had received official-looking, but fake, letters questioning their eligibility.
The letters said the local supervisor of elections had received information regarding the voter's citizenship status, "bringing into question your eligibility as a registered voter."
The letters advised recipients to fill out an attached "Voter Eligibility Form," or be removed within 15 days from the voter rolls.
Anyone receiving such a letter should call Sweat's office at 941-741-3823, or Florida's voter fraud hotline at 1-877-868-3737.

Tax relief firm misled customers, FTC says
American Tax Relief's ads on TV, radio and the Internet said it could settle customers' tax debt for a fraction of what they owed.
This post comes from James Limbach at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
A federal judge has halted a national operation accused of bilking consumers out of more than $60 million by falsely claiming it can reduce tax debts.
The California state business license of American Tax Relief was suspended last year for nonpayment of its own taxes, according to the Federal Trade Commission, which is seeking to make the defendants pay restitution to victims.
"We've made it a top priority to go after scammers who try to exploit the financial hardship of others," said David C. Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "For people having a tough time paying their taxes, the last thing they need is to lose more money to a fraud."
Large fees
According to the FTC, American Tax Relief falsely claimed in TV, radio and Internet ads that it can settle consumers' delinquent federal and state taxes for a fraction of the amount they owe. The company also falsely claimed that it can remove tax liens and stop wage garnishments, bank and tax levies, property seizures, and "unbearable monthly payments."
For example, the company's website stated, "The IRS is currently accepting a fraction of back taxes owed to them for those who qualify. The IRS is allowing the people with delinquent tax liabilities a ONE-TIME opportunity to settle the debt ONCE AND FOR ALL. But at the same time, the IRS does not advertise, promote or even voluntarily suggest this program."
The FTC says the company continued its deceptive practices even after federal agents executed a criminal search warrant on the operation's Beverly Hills business premises in April. At that time, authorities seized money from bank accounts and a Ferrari from the company's owner, and placed liens on two residences, including a $3.4 million house. At the time, one of the company's owners was leasing six other vehicles, including a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, two Porsches, and two Mercedes-Benzes, according to exhibits the FTC filed in court.
American Tax Relief charged upfront fees ranging from about $3,200 to $25,000 for the purported tax relief services. The company's ads included a toll-free number for consumers to call for a "free consultation." After speaking briefly with commission-based salespeople who were supposedly "tax consultants," virtually all consumers were told that they "qualify" for a tax relief program, and that American Tax Relief could help them significantly reduce their tax debts, the FTC complaint alleges.
Judge issues order
In reality, very few of the company's customers qualified for the promised tax relief programs, which are available only in very limited circumstances. Most people who hired the company would qualify at most for installment payment plans, which still require payment of the full amount owed, and which many taxpayers can easily arrange by themselves.
The FTC says many consumers were told they qualified for an "offer in compromise," the only IRS program that allows people to avoid paying the full amount of back taxes. It's available only in limited circumstances -- taxpayers are eligible only after other payment options have been exhausted and the person's ability to pay has been reviewed.
Other consumers were told that they qualified for a "penalty abatement," which the company claimed would eliminate both accumulated penalties and interest stemming from late payments, the FTC said. However, a penalty abatement is considered by the IRS only in very limited circumstances for people who have "reasonable cause" for the late payments, such as death, serious injury, natural disaster or the like.
Daniel of Cicero, N.Y., told ConsumerAffairs.com that he called American Tax Relief after seeing their ad and "they immediately told me they could reduce my tax debt, which was $38,000, to $3,000 or $4,000." He said he sent them $4,900 to start the process. "Had to keep sending them papers they requested over and over, IRS then contacted them -- IRS claims they never returned their phone calls and my claim was denied." When he tried again to contact American Tax Relief, Daniel says, "they never returned my calls.
The FTC contends the company did not gather sufficient information from consumers to know whether they would be likely to qualify for either an offer in compromise or a penalty abatement.
The agency's complaint names Alexander Seung Hahn, Joo Hyun Park, and American Tax Relief LLC.
On Sept. 24, a federal judge in Chicago entered a temporary restraining order prohibiting deceptive claims, freezing the defendants' assets, and appointing a receiver to manage the company.
According to The New York Times:
Charles L. Kreindler, a Los Angeles lawyer who represents the company, said in a statement that it intended to fight the FTC action, which "focused on a small handful of complaints and ignored the thousands of consumers who have been helped."

ROTHSCHILD, WI (WSAU) - Not all Republicans agree on every issue. One of those issues is immigration reform. Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner is opposed to the so-called gang of eight bill, claiming it is amnesty that he cannot support.
Father Theodore Hesburgh chaired a select committee in the 1980's appointed by President Jimmy Carter. Sensenbrenner says that even the admitted liberal Father concluded you must enforce the border and enforce laws prohibiting employers from hiring illegal workers...and the gang of eight bill would repeat an amnesty mistake made by the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Act. "The gang of eight Obama immigration bill repeats that mistake, and it makes it worse. It is the broadest amnesty that has ever been proposed in the Congress, and it must be rejected."
Congressman Paul Ryan says he and Sensenbrenner are good friends, but don't agree on this issue. Ryan says the bill being drafted is not amnesty. "The driving principle of immigration reform that's working its way through Congress is to number one, first secure the border. Number two, make sure you have a verification system at the employer level so an undocumented immigrant can't get a job, and number three, do not reward a person for breaking or cutting in line."
Both Wisconsin Congressmen agree the border needs to be secured and employers need a verification system to keep them from hiring illegal workers.

It's the BMW Vision, a car that has an ultra-efficient turbo-diesel engine and generic cialis cheapest two electric motors that could combine to make it the we like it womans cialis greenest sports car that isn't a Tesla Roadster. Of course the 400 mile range (not to mention the backseat) makes the Vision a tad more practical.
BMW will be officially unveiling the car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of cialis 100 mg weeks, but we're getting a HD preview in the form of the www.investordaily.com.au following video.
The car doesn't just get an EcoGeek's approval because of the plug-in system, which can carry the vehicle for 30 miles on a 2.5 hour charge. The 1.5 liter turbo-diesel engine is also extra green, and its placement over the rear axle allows for an extremely low front-end, which decreases drag significantly. Additionally, the concept has been created using extremely light-weight materials and a battery chemistry that allows for less battery weight. Of course, the lighter a car is, the less fuel it has to use.
While the car can drive on http://revistaneon.net/cialis-generic-canada electric power alone, it isn't an extended-range electric vehicle like the Volt. The turbo-diesel can re-charge the battery, but it can also be used to power the wheels. The idea is that, if you really want to pull out all of the stops, the diesel engine can kick in and work with the levitra canada online pharmacy electric engines, thus making the car "perform like a BMW."
Of course, performing like a BMW isn't important to me. But it is important to me that luxury car companies work these technologies into expensive cars, thus allowing rich dudes with midlife crises to the best site levitra prescription label subsidize the technology for the rest of us. Hopefully there are some of you out there who'll be buying this car as soon as it's available. Which, let's be honest, may be never. But it's still worth looking at and drooling over. Check out the Hi-Res gallery at AutoBlogGreen.

You are correct in one thing and that is recommended site generic cialis without prescription BMW are scared of what China is capable of. It wouldn't surprise me if BMW are doing what Boeing did to Airbus: Announce plans for some high tech super duper aircraft (which they had no intentions of building) to panic Airbus into making the A380 and virtually bankrupting them. Difference is here, China DO have the levitra costs capability of leading in the EV race - I hope they do!

They built in some special effects like a wind curtain to the wheel that improves stability, braking lights that can be seen from the inside of the car to transmit driving conditions to passengers(I'll take a sip of buy viagra online canadian phamacy my orange juice just after the next turn).
I for myself would take out the diesel and put in a 30kw fuelcell-stack as range extender and be happy with 110 hp of electric power. Yes - certainly a remarkable car.

People buy a V-8 version that always gets bad mileage because they like the acceleration. Many people won't buy electric-only (in the near future) because of the price or range. The plug-in hybrid solves these problems. Yes, a car that doesn't allow drivers to discount canadian cialis "perform like a BMW" is better for the environment, but that doesn't mean lots of people will buy them.
The other neat feature in this concept is the lightweighting (presumably why it gets 63MPG). That alone deserves the EcoGeek stamp of approval. Long touted by Avery Lovins at RMI as a solution to the oil endgame, lightweighting in theory is the most cost effective way to improve efficiency.

I believe any of the BYD PHEV's will be sold on mass in USA before they are sold here. A billion people earning $1 dollar a month still doesn't beat 300M earning $1,000's+ a month.
@ Carl - I think people buying high performance cars are the minority. From an environmental point of online cialis uk view, EV's should be targeted at normal people who just want to get from A-B. Having said that, I'll buy a Tesla S / Karma the day they arrive on http://donpablo.nl/lowest-priced-cialis the showroom floor where I live.

With the 114th pick of the 2013 NFL draft, the Cowboys chose cornerback B.W. Webb from William & Mary. At 5'10" and 185 lbs., he has decent size for a corner. He is deceptively strong, posting 14 reps of 225 lbs in the bench press at the combine. He also flashed top end explosiveness with top scores in the broad jump, vertical leap test and 20-yard shuttle drill.
Webb's coverage and ball skills are high level, even though the competition he played against may not have been. While he can play man coverage, his forte is certainly in the zone. His 4.51 40-yd dash time translates well to closing speed, however he is not going to light anybody up with his tackling and at times, displays questionable desire to make big hits.
Webb's initial support to the team will come in dime packages and possibly in the kick and punt return game. He will likely serve as a backup to Orlando Scandrick in nickel situations covering super quick slot receivers and will add depth in a league that is shifting heavily to relentless passing attacks.
Think of Webb as a poor-man's Pac-Man Jones minus all the off the field issues. For a fourth round pick, he represents good value. There were other players still available that fit more immediate needs for the Cowboys, however you can never have too many capable defensive backs in today's NFL.

is celebrating this Morning as the new NCAA champions. When the buzzer sounded, the team rushed to center court at the Georgia Dome. Kevin Ware cut the net, fireworks exploded, and confetti fell to the floor.
The celebrations lasting well into the Morning. Police in Louisville
are using tear gas and an armored carrier to disperse the crowd. More than 5,000 people were estimated to be packed into Cardinal Boulevard. Police arrested 10 people on drunk and disorderly conduct. Several people were injured.
The Cardinals' victory over Michigan came after a crucial play in the final seconds of the game. Louisville
trailed by 12 early on, but turned up the pressure on defense, kept up their shooting on offense, and made enough free throws down the stretch to put away the Wolverines.
won 82–to–75. It's been quite the week for Cardinals Coach and former PC Coach Rick Pitino. Pintino became the first to win titles at two different schools, he was elected to the hall of fame, and his horse is headed to the Kentucky Derby.

Is It Time For Gold?
Callum is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Never Stops Going Up
From 1913 to 1971, the price of gold went from $18.92 an ounce to $40.62 an ounce. But after the Bretton Woods system was taken down in 1971, the price of gold started to skyrocket. It went from $40.62 an ounce to $871.96 (average gold price in 2008) to $1,571.52 (average price in 2011) to over $1,700 today. It seems that within the last 10 years the price of gold has been unstoppable and has continuously gone up regardless of market trends. Are those prices here to stay, or is gold going to keep up its momentum?
Central Banks Play Their Part
Historically, central banks have been net sellers of gold, but that is starting to change. Now more and more nations want to protect the value of their currency with gold and are starting to become net buyers of the metal. In March, Russia bought 16.55 metric tons (583,778.08 ounces) of gold, Mexico bought 16.81 metric tons (592,949.216 ounces), Turkey bought 11.48 metric tons, (404,940.928 ounces), Argentina bought 7 metric tons (246,915.2 ounces), and Kazakhstan bought 4.3 metric (151,676.48 ounces). China is also a large purchaser of the metal, but they don't release data on their gold purchases that often. The last time they updated it was in 2008 when their gold supply went from 500 metric tons to 1,054.1 metric tons. State officials from a special task force in China have said that in order to protect the value of their currency they would need larger gold reserves, somewhere around 6,000 metric tons in 3 to 5 years (from 2008) and 10,000 metric tons in 8 to 10 years. Gao Wei, who is a state official in the Chinese Department of International Affairs, also said that China's gold supply was "too low" and that China should buy low and sell high in the current market volatility, recognizing that gold prices were high, but that China would keep buying it. China's production has gone up quite significantly over the years, from 1 million ounces a year in 1981 to over 10 million today. That extra production is mostly going into China's central bank, with some of it being made into jewelry and sold to China's elite. As long as central banks remain net buyers (especially China) and not net sellers, gold prices will continue its rise.
Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX) sees gold prices spiking upwards in 2013 and hitting $2,000 an ounce in 2013. HSBC raised its gold forecast to $1,850 an ounce and said that by the end of 2013 gold could touch the $1,900 level. The premise of their reasoning was that central bank bulk buying, more jewelry purchases, and rising production costs would push the price of gold higher. While I can't tell you with absolute certainty what the price of gold will be in a year, most are fairly bullish.
Ways To Play
There are several different ways to play those rising prices. One way is to buy up a gold ETF like SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEMKT: GLD). Or you can invest in the gold miners themselves, like Barrick Gold Corp. Currently Barrick's gold production rate is 7.7 million ounces (a year) at a total cash cost of $460 an ounce. For 2012, Barrick sees production going down to 7.3 - 7.5 million ounces at a total cash cost of $575 - 585 an ounce. Those rising production costs are why Barrick sees gold prices rising higher. Now that picture doesn't look too bright, not until you include the fact that Barrick sees its gold production rate going up to 8 million ounces by 2014. This will happen once Pueblo Viejo is fully operation and adds 625,000 - 675,000 ounces of production at a total cash cost of $300-350 ounces for the first 5 years of production. What Barrick really needs is higher gold prices, which dramatically increases its margins and return on investment. If you are bullish on gold prices Barrick is a great way to play. Another gold play is Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM). Most of Newmont's production is gold, and from 2007 to 2011 their operating margin went up from 16% to 44% as gold prices went higher. If gold prices do hit $2,000 like some suppose it will, then expect good news from Newmont.
Final Thoughts
With Central Banks becoming net buyers of gold and China on a never ending quest to prop up its currency and have one of the largest gold reserves in the world, combined with the printing freezing countries like Japan, USA, and Europe are going through, gold prices look like they will continue their surge upwards into 2013. Things like quantitative easing will devalue the dollar and push commodity prices higher, uncertainty will cause investors to buy up safe haven assets, negative real interest rates will punish dollar holders and "nudge" them into gold, and higher gold demand for jewelry all bode well for gold miners and investors in the gold industry. I'm Bullish on gold.

Humankind has stored more than 295 billion gigabytes (or 295 exabytes) of data since 1986, according to a new report based on research by scientists at the University of Southern California.
The scientists also concluded that 2002 should be considered the beginning of the digital age because it was the first year digital storage capacity overtook total analog capacity worldwide.
[ Are your storage requirements out of control? Then start by eliminating data redundancy. InfoWorld contributor Keith Schultz lays it all out in our Deep Dive Report on Data Deduplication. ]
The study, published this week in the Science Express journal, stated that "if a single star is a bit of information, there's a galaxy of information for every person in the world. But it's still less than 1% of the information stored in all the DNA molecules of a human being."
The study tracked some 60 analog and digital technologies from 1986 to 2007, calculating the amount of data stored, communicated and computed. In 2007, 2.9 X 10^20 optimally compressed bytes were stored, almost X 10^21 bytes were communicated and 6.4 x 10^18 instructions per second were run on general purpose computers.
The study includes information gleaned from IT research firms, such as IDC.
For example, it cites IDC's estimate that in 2007 "all the empty or usable space on hard drives, tapes, CDs, DVDs, and memory (volatile and nonvolatile) in the market equaled 264 exabytes. However, using their own methodology, the USC scientists said they counted 276 "optimally compressed" exabytes on digital devices, which occupy 363 exabytes of digital hardware.
Before the digital revolution, the report said, the lions share of information was stored in analog videotapes, such as VHS cassettes and the like. In 1986, along with VHS tapes, vinyl LP records accounted for 14% of stored data, audio cassette tapes made up 12% and photography accounted for 8%.
It was not until 2000 that digital storage made a significant contribution, contributing 25% to the data storage total in 2000.
Beginning in 1986, the share of paper-based storage mediums began decreasing, from 33% that year to .007% in 2007.
In 2007, hard disk drives held 52% of all stored data, optical storage devices held 28%, and digital tape about 11%.
The majority of our technological memory has been in digital format since the early 2000s, with 94% of data stored in that format in 2007, the report indicated.
"We live in a world where economies, political freedom and cultural growth increasingly depend on our technological capabilities," said the report's lead author, Martin Hilbert, a Provost fellow at USC's Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism. "This is the first study to quantify humankind's ability to handle information and how it has changed in the last two decades."
Hilbert co-authored the study with Priscila Lopez of the Open University of Catalonia in Barcelona.
Hilbert explained the study's findings in a short video found here .
The study found that data storage grew 23% annually between 1986 and 2007.
General computing capacity from 1986 through 2007, grew at an annual rate of 58%, the report said.
The world's capacity for bidirectional telecommunication through devices like cell phones, grew at 28% per year. Overall, the world shared 65 exabytes of information through telecommunication devices.

Two weeks ago, I had the honor of attending the first event of a new movement of Jewish New Yorkers who decided to invest their energies in giving to those in need in the Jewish community.
The group which was founded by Attorney Adina Gluckman is called PaEel ("Active" in Hebrew) and is based on the core Jewish values of Tzedaka (charity) and Gemilot Chasadim (Acts of Kindness). The group opens up opportunities to actualize one's potential to do good by giving to the Jewish community. It enables one to connect with Jewish causes that one finds meaningful.
PaEel's first event took place at an upper west side apartment, and the space was packed with a group of young professionals who came to hear a panel speak about dating and being single in the Jewish World.
PaEel decided to donate the proceeds from this first event to Elem in order to support its work for youth in distress.
Before the panel started, I noted that it was tremendously meaningful that a group of
successful Jewish young professionals decided to help the most vulnerable children in Israel and to ensure that they will not become invisible within the Israeli society.
The young leadership of Elem welcomes this inspiring initiative and we look forward to working closely with PaEel.
Check out PaEel July 6th event in which Author & Middle East specialist, Joseph Braude, will read selections from his recently published book, "The Honored Dead," during a discussion with moderator, Jacob Dallal.

Often, the first sign of melanoma is a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of an existing mole. Most melanomas have a black or blue-black area. Melanoma also may appear as a new mole. It may be black, abnormal or "ugly looking." If you have a question or concern about something on your skin, see your doctor.
Thinking of "ABCDE" can help you remember what to watch for:
Melanomas can vary greatly in how they look. Many show all of the ABCD features. However, some may show changes or abnormalities in only one or two of the ABCD features.
Melanomas in an early stage may be found when an existing mole changes slightly, for example, when a new black area forms. Newly formed fine scales and itching in a mole also are common symptoms of early melanoma. In more advanced melanoma, the texture of the mole may change. For example, it may become hard or lumpy. Melanomas may feel different from regular moles. More advanced tumors may itch, ooze or bleed. But melanomas usually do not cause pain.
Melanoma can be cured if it is diagnosed and treated when the tumor is thin and has not deeply invaded the skin. However, if a melanoma is not removed at its early stages, cancer cells may grow downward from the skin surface and invade healthy tissue. When a melanoma becomes thick and deep, the disease often spreads to other parts of the body and is difficult to control.
People who have had melanoma have a high risk of developing a new melanoma. People at risk for any reason should check their skin regularly and have regular skin exams by a health care provider.
If your doctor suspects that a spot on the skin is melanoma, you will need to have a biopsy. A biopsy is the only way to make a definite diagnosis. In this procedure, the doctor tries to remove all of the suspicious-looking growth. This is an excisional biopsy. If the growth is too large to be removed entirely, the doctor removes a sample of the tissue. The doctor should not "shave off" or cauterize a growth that might be melanoma. A shave biopsy is useful for many types of skin diseases and in treating benign moles. But it is not often used if a melanoma is suspected. This is because the sample removed may not be thick enough to find out how deep the cancer goes into the tissues.
A biopsy can usually be done in the doctor's office using local anesthesia. A pathologist then examines the tissue under a microscope to check for cancer cells. Sometimes it is helpful for more than one pathologist to check the tissue for cancer cells.

Photographer Greg Kessler Turns His Makeup Mapping Lens on the Windows to the Soul
The icy blue gaze of model Masha Voronina blinks its way through a succession of seasonal makeup looks in the latest installment of photographer Greg Kessler's Macro-Morphosis beauty series. Following on from his flirty, interactive close-up on lips this summer, Kessler partnered with New York-based makeup artist Lottie Stannard once more, for part two of his animated, digital face mapping feature. Using a selection of eye shadow palettes from Shiseido, Nars, Make Up Forever and Chanel, Stannard colored Voronina's eyes in all the colors of the turning leaves from early fall through to the first buds of spring. "They are bold looks," says Stannard, "but really it's as easy as putting on mascara, and it transforms your whole look. A lot of people are just scared to experiment, especially with eye color." Besides collaborating with Kessler, Stannard recently finished working on V Magazine's Powerhouse series doing makeup for model agency DNA's heavy hitters, such as Amber Valetta, Linda Evangelista, and Natalia Vodianova. Working for major shows like Dior, Versace and Chanel, Stannard is a regular at fashion weeks around the world, where Kessler is also often spotted photographing the transformation of models from off-duty to ramp ready, for publications including T (the style magazine of The New York Times), Dossier Journal and his own blog, Go Backstage.

The merger between Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio was approved three years ago. One condition of the merger was a 4% set-aside of spectrum for diverse programming not owned or controlled by Sirius XM. During the process several companies and organizations came forward with the desire to utilize that spectrum. A huge part of the delay was the inability of the FCC to figure out a way to decide upon who would get the spectrum. Ultimately the decision was left to Sirius XM, and we now finally have five groups that will offer programming on seven channels.

Wolwedan's Dune Lodge in Namibia
Wolwedans Dune Lodge is nestled into the dunes and is set against a backdrop of extraordinary natural beauty.
The lodge itself is airy and relaxing with canvas and wood structure that opens up to the breathtaking views of the desert beyond. Located in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve, Wolwedans Dune Lodge provides the perfect base from which to explore vast stretches of awe-inspiring and undisturbed nature.
The Lodge is designed with the guest's individual needs at heart. Although it offers the comfort and protection of a permanent structure it's use of canvas blinds and the style to which it has been designed it reflects the ambience of a romantic tented camp. Each of the nine chalets has an en-suite bathroom and a verranda with an exquisite view of the rolling desert. The main guest area consists of two very comfortable guest areas, a fabulous open fire, a tea deck and a library. The lodge also has a pool for a refreshing afternoon dip.
The whole feel of Wolwedans has a very 'Out of Africa' slant and although the décor reflects this throughout the lodge it is interpreted in a modern way. From the thumbed through reference books in the library, the old brass telescope which belonged to the owner, the sundowner deck, to the open fireplace and well stocked wine cellar, Wolwedan's has a truly homely feel and a sense that everything 'belongs' and has a story.
Wolwedans is not your usual hotel or a one night stop over destination, which can be ticked off en-route to the next tourist hot-spot. It is a place to arrive, to be, to learn and unwind, whilst being looked after by a friendly and involved local team. Wolwedans provides an honest, relaxed and down-to-earth atmosphere, free of 'wannabe' fanciness and pretence.
Set snugly within the dunes of the Namib Rand Nature Reserve which was once the hunting ground of the Spotted Hyena, Wolwedans took its name from the African for "where the wolves dance." The very history of the lodge's location whips up intrigue and romance in many and set against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty, Wolwedans provides an excellent base from which to explore the horizons that stretch out before you. With such a diverse location and contrasting landscapes you can be sure to discover large and smaller desert creatures each forging their lives out in a harsh dry habitat.
On arrival at Wolwedans you will be enthralled with the opportunity to get close to the nature of the desert, which is a completely liberating experience. Wolwedans provides an intriguing window for you to experience the desert's elusive grandeur and breathtaking beauty. The undulating natural architecture of the dunescapes, the endless rolling desert plains and horizons dominated by rocky mountains prompts one to appreciate the insignificance of humans in this desolate land. A stay at Wolwedans is a peaceful yet humbling experiencing. If you are an open-minded and nature-loving individual in search of a distinctive desert experience far off the beaten track, Wolwedans is for you.

Looking really good, Pierre!
Very nice!
You did good :) NiCe
Well done.
Dave! Thanks! There are a couple things I "rookied" on. A couple oversights I would correct, I sure do see your work in a new light. It's one of those thing I had to try.
I only hope I can "rookie" like you!
Looks good, Pierre -
I can offer a couple of hints. Check the jointer for square and be careful when you pass an edge through the knives. When you spread the glue, make sure you spread it evenly and remove as much as you can leaving about 0.001" of spread glue. (Really! That is all it takes.) Watch the clamping pressure and make sure it is as even as you can make it using cawls. After clamping you should still see excess glue seep out and it should be somewhat even along the entire joint.
Renting time on a wide belt sander is the only way to go for a small shop or a small user. I usually take 15 to 35 at a time to the shop I work with and run them through his wide belt sander. I pay $40/hr which includes an operator. When we are finished, they are dead flat and smoothed down to 120 grit. Sure makes final sanding easier.
Well done! I'm sure the wife lady will come to like it much better than the glass one and so will the knives.

An in-flight emergency forced a JetBlue plane to make an unscheduled landing in Minot this morning.
The Airbus A-320 landed safely about 9:45, about a half hour after declaring an emergency due to an electrical smell in the cockpit.
According to JetBlue's corporate office, the flight originated in Boston and was headed for Seattle.
Bonnie Campo takes us to the Minot Airport for more.
Around 9:25 this morning the Minot International Airport received news that a JetBlue aircraft would be making an emergency landing. 132 were estimated to be on board, not sure if they were in harms way.
(Bob Lindee, City Information Officer) "Maintenance has inspected the aircraft. So far, they have been in touch with JetBlue maintenance. They have an idea of what's going on with the aircraft right now, but they are waiting on a manual, we do have an airbus certified technician in Minot that can work on the aircraft, but they are waiting on the manual from JetBlue right now, and working in conjunction with JetBlue's maintenance people to figure out what is exactly going on with the aircraft."
With four hours of fuel left, the flight path took a sudden turn over Manitoba began heading southwest toward Minot. But the airport was prepared and willing to accommodate JetBlue.
(Bob Lindee, City Information Officer) "As a matter of fact, we were having a tabletop airport exercise today when I got the phone call. We have an Airport Fire Department on standby that's part of the Minot Fire Department. Everybody was notified immediately before the plane even landed. Everybody was ready to go.
Passengers began deboarding the Airbus about 11:00am - little more than an hour after JetBlue Flight 597 had made their emergency landing. However, passengers were not allowed to leave secure areas within the airport, as they waited for repairs to be made, or a second aircraft to arrive and take them to their destination.
(Bob Lindee, City Information Officer) "Our runways are fully capable of handling all of their aircrafts, so they could get another plane here to get the passengers continuing on to Seattle."
Overall, this day brought more turbulence than anyone was expecting.
In Minot, Bonnie Campo, KX News.

PASCO, Wash. - Pasco Police are looking for the two people who robbed a convenience store at gunpoint.
Officers say two men walked into the Circle K on Court Street late Wednesday night, armed with handguns and demanded money from the employees. Police say the two men ran off with cash from the register before officers arrived.
Officers say the two men are about 5'8" and 5'10" with slim builds, both wearing dark clothing, gloves, sunglasses and bandanas over their faces.
Police say surveillance video wasn't available, so officers ask anyone with information to contact the Pasco Police Department.

Is this you???
If you go into any bar or lounge these days, just take a look at what's going on. Anyone fancy a guest? Well if you are as tech savvy as every other American out there you'll notice that there is a large amount of phone going on. Someone is either texting or tweeting or updating Facebook, etc. about their life goings at the bar. We've been brainwashed into thinking that interacting with our phones and posting our whereabouts and updates is living. Ok, so maybe you want to let your friend know where you are or what great cocktails you are consuming, at let's say 1534 :). These things are all well and good, but what I have started to notice is that the fine art of verbal communication and conversation has been some what lost in this new modern world of iphones and droids.
Understand that I am not advocating against the use of phones at the bar. This is not a rant or a complaint. Just an observation into what I have seen going on in the nightlife scene.
We've all been guilty of it, and to some extent these modern devices have become essential to getting business done; but whatever happened to the actual interaction at the bar instead of the virtual interaction going on? It seems as though people are more interested in striking up a conversation with their Blackberry instead of the bartender, or worse, the attractive woman next to them who is obviously slowly drinking her Floradora, waiting for you to say something to her. What's even worse is that it seems as though an increasing amount of bartenders are content with this behavior. As a result, I have slowly started to notice that while not only have the customers lost the fine art of conversation, but the new breed of bartenders are not as social. At the sight of this I believe one Jerry Thomas would be turning over in his grave.
Bars are social havens. That is the reason why in the dead of winter with 4 feet of snow on the ground we leave the comfort of our own homes and apartments and drudge over to our local for a pint. Not to go there to post pics on Facebook or become Mayor of the bar on 4square, I go to bars for the what might happen. I bartend for the social interaction, and I do what I do because I get to meet some very interesting people, talk up some very gorgeous women, and listen to some real idiots, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
So how do we change the mindset of these new bartenders slightly lacking in social skills, and shakeup these scenes we've seen at bars all across the country? My suggestion, and something I have done at 1534, is to make up funny rules. These rules are the complete opposite of a very well known bar, and I put them on my menu to not only be cheeky, but as a conversation starter. You would not believe how many people end up asking the bartender about rule number #7 (must sing to any power ballad) or how many guys point to rule number #5 (attempt courtship) to the cute girl at the bar. I also think rewarding the lack of use of the phone at the bar would also make for a fun environment. Do a type of earth hour thing where you tell everyone seated at your bar that if they cannot use their phone for 30mins you will give them all a shot. See what happens. I predict conversation, actual human interaction, and about 45mins will go by before anyone realizes they haven't looked at their phones. So let's pick up more pints and less iphones, more picking our heads up to acknowledge the guest than to turning our heads down to look at our droids, and lets only use our blackberry's at the bar to take pics of the drink, shots you're doing with your new best friend the bartender, or the cute blonde who you just got a number from.
2oz Gin
.75oz fresh lime juice
.75 oz Raspberry syrup or house made grenadine
Add ingredients in a mixing glass. Shake with ice.
Strain into a highball over fresh ice or crushed ice.
Top with Ginger ale
Lime wedge Garnish and Raspberry

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state corrections department is making it easier for people to find out if they have a sex offender living nearby.
Officials say Wisconsin's 13-year-old sex offender registry is now searchable by addresses.
Folks can enter a specific address, and see if a sex offender is living within a one, two, or three mile radius. Until now, the database could only be searched by entering offenders' names and zip codes.
The Web site improvements also let people get e-mail alerts when a registered sex offender moves close to an address of interest -- a like a school or park.
Corrections' official Grace Roberts says informed communities are safer, and people have a right to know if registered sex offenders are living close to them.
The site is accessible at Wisconsin.Gov.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay Packers have announced Wednesday that star linebacker Clay Matthews has signed a contract extension with the team.
"Clay has been a productive member of our team and we are pleased to be able to come to an agreement that will extend his Packers career," Packers GM Ted Thompson said in a statement.
A source tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that it's a five-year deal worth $66 million, keeping him under contract through 2018. That would make Matthews the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL.
"Congratulations to Clay, who has quickly developed into a core member of our team," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said in a statement. "His accomplishments and the example he sets on and off the field will be vital to our continued success. We look forward to the rest of his Packers career."
Matthews, who was drafted out of Southern California in the first round (No. 26 overall) by the Packers with the second of their two first-round selections in 2009, is the only player in franchise history to be named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first four seasons in the league.
He has registered 42.5 sacks since entering the league in '09, ranking No. 5 in the NFL over that span, and has finished in the top five in the league in sacks two of the last three seasons.
Matthews has played in 58 games during his four seasons in the league with 55 starts and has recorded 270 tackles (191 solo), four interceptions (two TD returns), 23 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries (one returned for a TD).
