Un accueil chaleureux, expérience inoubliable, riad de qualité, bien placé à 10 minutes de la place. On a profité un maximum, avec de bons conseils de jihane et son couscous copieux ! Le Hammam traditionnel a été une révélation pour nous... A refaire ! Merci Céline.
Celine is the owner of the Riad, however, this Riad is run by a great girl called Jihane. This lady is worth her weight in gold, making sure we felt at home at all times. She showed us around the Medina, gave us prices for basic things and pointed out a few places to go.
The riad has an arrangement with a driver called Abdou which picked us up at the airport and took us on day trips.
The riad is set in the middle of the medina, a short walk from the main square. We felt very safe and away from the madness that the medina can be. The rooftop is a great place to be to catch some sun rays and enjoy the birds chirping away.
We loved it and hope to come back one day.
This Riad was AMAZING! If you plan to visit Marrakech, Celine's Riad is the perfect place for you.
I'll admit that we were a bit unsettled when we first pulled into the city - everything was moving so fast and we all felt a bit out of our comfort zone. The driver, Abdou, picked us up from the airport and we quickly became friends with him. He offered advice and reassured us that we were in good hands.
Abdou dropped us off into the hands of Jihane and she became our right hand woman. She took us through the street (I will be honest that the walk was a bit daunting - everything was just new to us) and down to our riad.
Once we opened the front door, we knew we were home. Our riad became a great, cozy, secluded safe place in the busy city of Marrakech.
Celine offered a number of good places to go eat so our first night we went to Le Marrakchi. It was great! Take advantage of the board games and fireplace upstairs; we had a scrabble, wine and fire night and it was simply delightful.
Jihane gave us such great advice throughout our entire trip. She set up for us to go to an authentic hammams, she had masseurs come to the riad one day and she even ordered a great meal for us the night we did not feel like going out. She also took us to a great spot where we bough authentic rugs for a good price - to buy and to get shipped back to the states.
We took a day trip to the Atlas mountains and Abdou was our driver. If you have the time, take this trip! We stopped in the Berber villages, saw how argon was made and hiked the seven waterfalls. All of this was per recommendation of Celine/Jihane.
There were amazing hosts and made our trip in Morocco one we will not forget.
If you stay, be sure to say hey to Carolina, the pet tortoise, and take the hookah up to the rooftop patio for a nice night of relaxing and conversing with friends. It was a little chilly to utilize the pool, but we took a dip our very last night.
The booze was a little pricey, but the fact that they even thought to provide alcohol in the riad was very nice; you won't find it readily available throughout the city or in the restaurants.
If you want to get out of your comfort zone, yet maintain a bit of luxury during your trip, this is the spot for you. Make friends with Jihane and the local, they know best. Get out of your comfort zone all day so you can come home to your riad and enjoy it that much more.
Merci beaucoup
Nos vacances en famille étaient parfaites
Nous reviendrons avec bonheur
Merci à Jihane pour sa gentillesse et sa douceur avec les enfants.
Quel bonheur de re-découvrir Marrakech dans ces conditions. Le Riad de Céline est tout simplement parfait. Il est rare de trouver des lieux qui nous ressemblent, c'était le cas. Déco très agréable, lieu bien pensé et bien aménagé. Proximité avec tous les lieux "touristiques" de la ville. Calme et quiétude en pleine médina. Et bien sûr l'accueil charmant de Jihane sur place, qui vous prépare des petits plats à la demande. Un grand plus ! Nous reviendrons avec certitude.
The riad is in a good location near the spice square which has a number of lovely shops and cafes. It's also near a few great restaurants such as Le Jardin. The walk to the main square is around 7-10 minutes. Jihane (the housekeeper) will walk you to the square on the first day which is very helpful and the route is straightforward to remember after that. The riad itself is as the pictures show; stylish and comfortable. The rooftop was a particular pleasure straight after breakfast and in the evening the riad is lit beautifully. I have been to Marrakesh before and the call to prayer woke me up every day. In this riad the noise from outside is virtually silenced. In terms of day trips, Jihane can arrange for Abdou the taxi driver to take you to the Atlas, for example, and he will stop at the key places (such as the waterfalls). All round we had a great experience and would recommend the riad to a couple or group.
What a lovely time we have had in Marrakech. It started with a warm welcome by Jihane in our riad. The riad was exactly as the photo's we saw on the website. Very comfortable and big but still cosy. I can reccomend it to anyone who wants to visit Marrakech!
The lovely Jihane told us a lot about Marrakech, the culture, food, how to get to the places we wanted to see and much more. She was very helpfull and a great cook!!!!!!! There was a lovely breakfast waiting for us every morning and 3 times we enjoyed her Marrocon diners. She also accompanied us to an authentic hamam, an adventure for us we will never forget!
Thank you Jihane for making us feel so welcome in (website hidden)

Video: NatGeo 'For the Love of Jaguars' Presentation by Panthera's CEO Dr. Rabinowitz
Panthera's CEO Dr. Alan Rabinowitz recently gave a presentation entitled 'For the Love of Jaguars' at National Geographic Live in Washington, D.C. Speaking to a packed house, Dr. Rabinowitz brought viewers into the mysterious world of the elusive jaguar, which ranges from Mexico to Argentina, and described Panthera's efforts throughout Latin America to conserve this species.
Just Released: February Newsletter
Read Panthera's February newsletter to learn about the new commitment made by the government of Colombia and Panthera to protect the jaguars of Latin America and watch video coverage aired by Al Jazeera English on this new development.
Saving Jaguars - Protecting Wild Latin America
Jaguars are the face of all things wild for Latin America. Ranging from Argentina to Mexico - they've evolved over millions of years to survive.
The sturdiest of the big cats, they roam between protected areas, through ranches, plantations, across rivers and dams, through the human landscape. Their ability to move and adapt has resulted in them remaining as a single species across their entire range.
Video: Al Jazeera English Reports on Panthera's Landmark Jaguar Conservation Agreement with Colombia
Earlier this week, Al Jazeera English aired a video reporting on Panthera's recent signing of a landmark conservation agreement with the government of Colombia to protect the future of the Americas' largest wild cat – the jaguar.
Press Release: Colombia Reinstates Its Commitment to Jaguars
Bogotá – The jaguar was awarded renewed protection yesterday with the establishment of the second conservation agreement between the government of Colombia and Panthera, an organization dedicated to the preservation of wild cats around the globe.
Panthera Remembers Correspondent Bob Simon
It is with heavy hearts that our team at Panthera remembers Bob Simon, a CBS 60 Minutes correspondent, foreign reporter, an icon in the news world, and a champion for wildlife. Bob Simon and his producer Tom Anderson accompanied Panthera's Chairman, Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan, CEO Dr. Alan Rabinowitz and other staff to our project site in the Brazilian Pantanal in September 2010
'A Boy and a Jaguar' Wins American Library Association Book Award
As reported by The Los Angeles Times and CNN, the American Library Association has awarded 'A Boy and a Jaguar,' the 2014 children's book by Panthera's CEO Dr. Alan Rabinowitz, the Schneider Family Book Award.

Bartzella or Garden Treasure??
My Mother's Day money is burning a hole in my pocket. I would like to know if anyone is growing these and how you like them? I'm looking at Song Sparrow for Bartzella, haven't found Garden Treasure yet.
You could take a trip to Marysville, MO to see Garden Treasure in the fields of the hybridizer.
Here is a link that might be useful: Don Hollingsworth's
I bought 5 Itoh Peonies last year. I could not afford to buy large plants, so I bought 3 small ones in 4" at Park's seeds for $39.95 each. Then I saw Itoh Peonies at the local nursery. The price was $55 for one gallon pots. I bought two more.
All of them survived this very harsh winter. They are at least 3-4 times larger than last year. Both Bartzella peonies are very vigorous. Personally, I prefer to buy smaller plants for a lower price.
Check your local nurseries. You might find much better price.
I've read from different sources that Garden Treasure was patented by Hollingsworth but that Anderson did not patent Bartzella. If this is true it might be one reason for the astronomical prices bid for bart early on.
Flowergirl there is a thread on this forum last added to about a year ago that discussed the differences between these two.
Alina, what intersectionals did you buy other than the two barts? I bought what must have been a tissue culture of singing in the rain (can't remember the internet source) and later last year Merrifield Gardens (local nursery) had a big sale and I bought another larger singing for less than $50. The small cheap one has done very well and now I'm kicking myself for not buying bart or Julia Rose or one of the other better known intersectionals from Merrifield.
Hi Rian,
The other intersectionals I bought are Morning Lilac, Julia Rose, and probably Singing in the Rain (squirrels stole the tag). I am almost positive that the last one is SOTR because I remember I liked very much the pictures of this variety and I was very happy when I bought it.
Bartzella from the one gallon is the biggest one now. I was a little dissapointed that none of them bloomed this year. All five of them look very healthy. The foliage is very neat, so I think they are fantastic lanscaping plants even without flowers.
Do you remember at what time Merrifield had that sale? I have not been there for a long time.
Rian the person that started the Mid Atlantic Peony Society is always on the lookout for new peonies. Earlier this year the society was selling several intersectionals to their members. You might check to see if they have any left. They will be having a booth at Swarthmore College's annual plant sale this fall. I think it is in early September.
I am pretty sure that neither Bartzella nor Garden Treasure is patented. Too many people are growing both with no problem. The demand has been astounding for both of these cultivars. The price has dropped through the past years. As I recall in 2000 Bart was running about $250. The first Barzellas we had in our society sale fetched a cool $500.00. That is the most we have sold any peony.
A photo of Bartzella.
This particular plant did not grow in my garden. This photo was taken by a friend of mine in Holland. My original plant of Bartzella was not this large the first year but had 7 blooms. It was about this size the second year and had 14 blooms. Bartzella and Garden Treasure are very vigorous plants. By the second fall my plant was so large that I was afraid that if I left it another year it would have a root mass the size of a Volkswagon Bug, so I divided it. I find intersectional peonies harder to decide where to divide than herbaceous peonies and as they get older they are even more difficult to divide.
Sorry I have photos of that plant of mine but none of those photos were on this computer. I will have to find that photo and post it for you.
Peonyman, so are you saying if I plant a Bartzella, I will have to dig it in 2 years? How does it stay so pricey if it's that rampant? How much space will it occupy if I don't dig it? I have plenty of people I could give a piece to, but at my age, I'm not looking to divide peonies.
Leon, I checked the patent site and did not find Bartzella, but Hollingsworth rec'd a patent in 1986 for an intersectional whose description matches Garden Treasure. Since that patent has expired you are right that neither one is patented. But if the early ownership of Bartzella came with the right to legally propagate it, no wonder the initial prices were bid so high. Beautiful picture, thanks from me too.
Alina, I want all of those too, but this time of year when I am having shoehorn into my garden all the plants I fell in love with and had to have, I realize I just can't go on doing this. When your intersectionals bloom would you tell me which one you like best and why?
I know the questions flowergirl and I ask of people like you and Leon and maifleur are nearly impossible to answer but those of us who are limited (whether by energy or space or $$$) are really grateful for the comparisons you can make among the different varieties you grow.
As best I can remember the peony sale at Merrifield was in late November or early December. I just happened by--I'm on their email list but no notice came. Worst of all, it was over when I regretted my hard heart and went back to buy bart. It is hard to pay full price when you've just missed a sale....sigh
As far as I know, intersectional Peonies are very vigorous and have to be divided every 3-4 years.
They will not bloom this year I guess - no buds on them... I will definitely report which one would be the best for me and why. So far, both 'Bartzella's are the most robust. I will check out our local Potomac Garden center where I bought 2 of my Itoh Peonies. They also might have a sale...
How beautiful! Thanks for posting the picture! Hope mine will bloom next year finally...
Here is one of our Bart's, taken in the rain a few minutes ago. I bought it directy from Mr. Anderson 2 years ago. It was a replacement for one I had purchased from him in 2001 that we lost when we moved here to Fredericksburg in 2004. It has 10 buds, three of them bloomed yesterday. As you can see, we also are short on space, so this one is squeezed between two daylilies.
We also have Anderson's Kopper Kettle and Sequestered Sunshine. Sequestered Sunshine is a lot like Bartzella. Kopper Kettle has yet to bloom.

A Hardware Testbed for the Implementation and Evaluation of MIMO Algorithms
Murphy, Patrick
Lou, Feifei
Frantz, Patrick
Conference paper
MIMO; testbed
As the demand for higher performance wireless communications continues to grow, novel algorithms have been developed which provide increased performance and efficiency. One such class of algorithms involves the use of multiple antennas on either end of a wireless link. Many of these multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) algorithms offer impressive performance gains over their single antenna counterparts. The practicality of implementing such algorithms in a real system, however, is a topic in need of further exploration. We present in this paper a testbed designed specifically to test such algorithms. This testbed provides hardware for baseband processing, up and downconversion to RF and emulation of multiple wireless channels. It was designed to provide sufficient exibility to implement a wide range of algorithms while preserving the ability to evaluate an algorithm's resource and power requirements. The testbed hardware and configuration options are presented, along with a basic demonstration of its functionality.

A more user-friendly brain-machine interface
By Ben Coxworth
February 23, 2011
Practical thought-controlled devices, such as wheelchairs, artificial arms, or even cars, are perhaps a step closer to reality thanks to research being carried out at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Traditionally, brain-computer interfaces require the user to concentrate on constantly maintaining a mental command of either turn left, turn right, or no-command (go straight). According to EPFL, most users can't sustain more than about an hour of the necessary mental effort. The school is developing a new system, however, that allows users to take breaks and shift their attention to other things while their thought-controlled device continues to operate on its own.
Like other brain-computer interfaces, EPFL's system utilizes EEG readings obtained from a network of sensors on the user's scalp. What makes it different is that it uses statistical analysis – or probability theory – when processing those readings, allowing it to learn what the user expects of it. When combined with a Shared Control system, which uses cameras and sensors to augment the thought-control system, it can do things like avoiding obstacles or continuing on in a straight line, without constant mental updates from the user.
The system was recently demonstrated at the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) 2011 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. Volunteers were hooked up to it, then asked to read silently, speak, or read aloud, while simultaneously sending out as many left, right, or no-commands as possible. The system was reportedly able to filter out the extraneous mental "noise," and pick up the commands intended for it. Theoretically, this means that a wheelchair user could utilize the system to make their way through a building, while also doing something such as carrying on a phone conversation.
While the system won't be in production anytime soon, it has already moved into clinical trials. The researchers are currently working on further integrating it with Shared Control systems, and improving its interpretation of cognitive information.Share

Could the secret game Nintendo Power reveals be the next Kirby?
As shown in the remarkably boring Nintendo Financial Results Press Release (needs more Lost references), Hoshi no Kirby (Kirby of the Stars) has once again appeared on the release schedule, as it has been for the past half decade.
With Nintendo Power touting they have a new exclusive reveal about a major game franchise, with a background having to do with stars, could this finally be when the next Kirby be revealed? This would make it the first new Kirby game since the N64 game.
It's either that, or Sonic in Space.

I'd love a new Kirby game. They're a lot of fun to play in 20-30 minute chunks. I remember many good times with The Crystal Shards. I also hope for a new Kirby on consoles. Or should I say the Wii?

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
I do like the suit very much which is true to size for me. However, the only improvement I would make is to have the rear lined as well.
This suit holds up very well for daily or frequent use. It is sporty looking and fits well. It is a great value and I highly recommend it.
This suit fits great and looks awesome on my 13 year old daughter. I ordered one size bigger and it is perfect. True to the color shown in the picture.
Very happy with this suit; however, consider ordering one size up from the size chart. The wide straps are very comfy, the neckline is high enough to not drag in the water, yet doesn't look geeky. The color contours on the fabric are very flattering. The material feels very substantial and comfortable; suit stays in place while lap swimming. The legs are a bit high-cut, but feel great when swimming. According to the size chart, I'd fit a 40 (5 ft. 7 in, 165 lb), BUT I ordered a 42 and it just fits. I'd like a 44, but it wasn't available. Everything fits snug and trim, and the straps aren't too hard to slide off after swimming; however, the seat area just barely covers my bum (I wear a size 12 in jeans, size 10 in tops). I kind of feel like I'm squeezing myself into the suit, but lap suits do need to be snug. If I'd bought a 40 according to the size chart, I'm sure it would have been too tight. A comparable suit to this one is the TYR Solid Maxfit.
This is the most comfortable and good looking on you polyester suit you'll ever find. Moves with your movements. Seems trues to size. I hope finals makes this suit forever.
Looks and feels great. Has held up very well with many uses!
There was some problem with all of the swimsuits I recently ordered - either to small, a back not cut the way I thought it would be, or lack of any bra insert - the service and products were very good - I think I just have a problem with mail order suits.
Love this suit! It's tight but still stretches a bit, so putting it on and off is not sooo bad. and it is lasting longer than my other suits (which only last about 6 months and this is with me swimming on weekends only!). Price is good, too, so it is good value.
fits and will go well with the team's colors.
All the other reviews suggested that I purchase 1 size up. I'm so glad I did! Had I purchased based on the chart, I would have been in a suit far to small for me. This fits perfectly and is wonderful to swim in! This is the first full piece suit I have purchased and I am not disappointed at all.
Get an alert when we add new styles of The Finals! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.

Some new seedlings
Thought i would give you all a bit of a look at whats in the pipeline for the future ,you will notice that except one cross, they all have Vr Milky Way as one parent , to apriciate that you really have to see them up close and they have a few years left to get to adult size , the seedlings of photo number 348 have Vr fenestralis on both sides ,yet look at the colour ,specially considering both parents are quite green , never under estimate the colour influence of that species ! if you hover the mouse pointer over photos you will get the parentage ok ?
well there it is ,I trust that the breeding lines given are of some use to you budding hybridisers ,
Great work as always Jack.
Looks like some more Koning Klassics on the way!
Is not only great to learn about parentage from such psts but also inspiring that those tiny green seedlings I have may just turn into something special one day...
thanks for sharing
Hi Jack,
There's some great looking plants there both in colour and shape, no doubt more champ's of the future. Just one thing though, you said "the seedlings of photo number 348 have Vr fenestralis on both sides" and all I've got is 344-347 and 349. no 348, where has it gone?????
Always good to look at your pic's mate, keep 'em coming, we won't complain.
Thank's for the eye candy.
All the best, Nev.
Hi Jack,
It sure looks like a whole lot more beaut plants coming through there in all of the crosses. Very interesting to see the ranges of variation from the parent combinations, with some surprising results - well, at least to me as a beginner.
You've mentioned the "fenestralis effect" before and it has stuck in my brain, so I'm trying a couple as well with 'Emerald Meadows' and 'Uluru Sunset'. The one that really surprised me is the amount of pink coming through in 'Milky Way' x self. I'm hoping mine will flower soon so I can have a bit of a play!
Thanks for some more inspiration. Cheers, Paul
Hi Paul
just for the interest ,i crossed Vr fenestralis x Milky Way and did the reverse as well , there is no hint of pink in the seedlings wich surprised me ,as a matter if fact the Vr Milky Way x fenestralis has quite broad leaves ,not shiny ,and bluish /green and the Vr fenestralis x Milky Way looks more like Vr hieroglyphica x platynema variegata ,narrower but very shiny leaves with quite subtle scribbling , however as they have a fair way to grow i expect some colour to come through but mostly whitish centres ,however i do know that if these where crossed with themselves ,then i will get pink tones appearing ( it seems to always take second generation crosses to get pinks fron Fenestralis ) if you crossed Vr Emerald Meadows x Uluru Sunset, you will get nice colours and still some spotting as well , hope this helps ,any way you will visit us on Sunday so we will have a chat then ok ?

I just did a batch today, I used 7.88 lbs 2 lbs of two row and 7 lbs of optic with 14oz of other grains. In my mash I lost 3quarts of water,that seems high. My absorption ratio was .381, what I have seen on other posts was that the range should be about .125 qt per lb any suggestions
thats seems right to me .... i assumed i lost 1 gl per 10# so u have about 8# and lost .75 of a gl ?
Thank's to all the replies. I guess I got it wrong with the .125 qt thing.
The numbers arent adding up. was it 7.88 pounds total or the sum of what you listed. If so that would be 9 Lbs 14 Oz and 3 qts loss would be good according to all I have read. Hope this helps.

New 'electronic glue' promises cheaper semiconductors
By Darren Quick
June 23, 2009
A new "electronic glue" for nanocrystals developed by researchers at the University of Chicago and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory promises to accelerate advances in semiconductor-based technologies, including solar cells and thermoelectric devices.
Semiconductor nanocrystals can be readily mass-produced and used for device manufacturing via inkjet printing and other solution-based processes. This makes them an attractive alternative to the large semiconductor crystals typically used in commercial solar cells and computer chips which are expensive and can make large-scale applications such as rooftop solar-energy collectors prohibitive.
However, up until now, nanocrystals are unable to efficiently transfer their electric charges to one another due to surface ligands - bulky, insulating organic molecules that cap nanocrystals. But the "electronic glue" developed in Dmitri Talapin's laboratory at the University of Chicago solves the ligand problem by substituting the insulating organic molecules with novel inorganic molecules to dramatically increase the electronic coupling between nanocrystals.
Talapin believes the "electronic glue" will enable cheaper solar panels and better computer microprocessors.
The "electronic glue" is described in the journal Science.Share

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
You should end your dishonest marriage
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm passionately in love with my wife's sister. I married the younger sister when I should have married the older sister whom I dated all graduating year in high school. Then I went away to university in another province, and left her behind so I could pursue college social life freely. I broke her heart to pieces, but I was only 18! In the end I moved back to Winnipeg and she was already married to someone else. I kept running into her little sister, who had a lot of the same qualities, looks and sense of humour. We got together and got married, but she's turned out to be a poor replacement. When I see her older sister at the lake all summer, I'm entranced and so hot for her. I dream about her almost every night and I called out her name out last week. I know she and her husband aren't getting along. I wish I could take his place. My wife and I get along OK, but no real passion and no kids. She says I'm "too boring and intellectual." Must I spend my whole life with the sister I don't really want? -- Desiring the Other Sister, Winnipeg
Dear Desiring: Let's say you tell the older sister how you feel. What could happen? 1. She might tell you she's not interested in you and shatter your dream (the best result). 2. She might confess she misses you too, but won't break up the entire family over it (say hello to a lifetime of heartbreak). 3. She might say she's disgusted you revealed this, and tell you to stay far away from her! It's interesting you feel this way now. You were quite able to leave the older sister, break her heart, and go off for years without looking back -- out of sight, out of mind. Then she had to watch you court her younger sister and marry her. It'd be a smart idea for all concerned for you to end this dishonest marriage where you're actually spying on the sister. Who knows, when everything dies down, the older sister may come to you, but don't bet on it! She's suffered too much hurt and humiliation from you.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm a woman of 24 who met another woman at Pride Week activities and we spent days and nights together. Now all the fun is over, we are left with reality -- crazy about each other, but she's from another city -- just back here for two weeks to see family and go to the festival. I have no money. How do we continue to see each other? -- Heartsick, South End
Dear Heartsick: This happens to lots of young people in this mobile world. If your new woman is into it, you start a long-distance romance, with emails and phone calls and Skyping. If both of you want to be together enough after a few months of this going well, one of you has to move as soon as you can get a job in the other's city. Past a few months, most long-distance relationships fizzle from lack of physical closeness and companionship.

Beginner Q - How to store seed?
Ok so I put some poppy seed pods in a bag, they've all "popped" I separated out the casings and now have a million or so poppy seeds.
Do I need to do anything else to them?
What do I store them in?
sorry for the total beginner question :)
Hi. Never apologize for asking a question! You might find some info on this in the "growing from seed" forum as well. Once my seeds have dried I use either paper coin envelopes or little baggies to store them. I keep those in a big metal art box that I keep in the downstairs fridge. There's some seed varieties that I store in a cool dry room (my laundry room) instead of the fridge. If properly stored most seeds will remain viable for quite some time. there are seeds that need to be planted fresh like adeniums but most seed can be successfully stored.
You may want to look through the topics in the link below. If you scroll about 2/3 down the list, you'll see poppies.
Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Saving Forum FAQ
I started with mine in plastic baggies, but now I switched to coin envelopes. They are easy to find at any office supply store. Plus, I write the year on mine and who it came from in a trade (if applicable). I try to plant them soon, and this is my first year trading but I'm going to try and trade off all my old seed before next year (or give it away). That way I replenish with fresh. Though they may be viable for several years, depending on the type, I'm going for a turn around so they are always fresh.

Go-Kart Handling Put To The Test
The description of "go-kart" handling has been lavishly heaped on MINIs since the classic Mini rolled off the assembly line. However with the introduction of the modern MINI, the phrase seams almost so inescapably linked as to be cliche . Comparison such as this stand to be tested and the MINI Cooper and go-kart comparison is just what Crank and Piston sought out to settle with the latest third generation MINI Cooper S at the Dubai Kartdrome.
None of us are expecting the MINI to beat the go-kart. Even despite its 178.5hp advantage, the MINI's 1000kg weight deficit – plus its comparatively high centre of gravity – makes the Cooper S a sitting duck around the Kartdrome's tight and twisting technical layout. Based on David's experience, he estimates the MINI will be 8-9 seconds slower than the go-kart. Anything under that should demonstrate the new Cooper's 'go-kart like' precision.
We will not ruin the final result for you, but suffice to say, the MINI makes a capable and entertaining steer on the course:
Ryan has no problem keeping the Cooper S out of the barrier. Through another tight right hander and onto the back straight, Ryan has just enough time to flick into second gear before braking hard into the final complex, the MINI dancing through the tight left-right-left chicane and taking a little kerb on the outside onto the main straight to nail it to the start-finish straight.
Be sure to read the full article including the final result at Crank and Piston.

Vice Admiral Coat not moving right
I like the VA coat, I really do. The one problem with it, is it moves wrong. It should not stick to the back of the players legs like a skin tight skirt but more like a short trench coat.
The one thing I can suggest is cutting the weight of the mesh to the legs and instead set it to a bone at the bottom of the coat and weight it between the bone and the lower back of the player. The reason for this is if you look at any trench coat, from the waist down, it does not move with the legs but from the bottom edge with influence from the middle and lower back.
I understand its a lot of work just to weight it right, but this would go a long way to including the visual quality of the coat from a body skirt to a dress coat.

There seem to be about 21 on the island for you to get. Here is one in Ganges GCW7GA If you go to this caches page there is a bookmark link for Gulf Island caches. Or you could just do a search for Lutra Lutra, which is another cache on Salt Spring. Good luck. _________________Work is for those that don't cache or fish Back to top QuigleyJonesJoined: Mar 09, 2005Posts: 135Location: Raincouver Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 8:42 pm Post subject: Re: cache listings I recommend searching with the map function. www.geocaching.com/see...zm=11&mt=m Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Forum Index » General Page 1 of 1 All times are GMT - 8 Hours Jump to: Select a forumTerms of Usage AgreementGeneral AnnouncementsPoliciesCALL BINGO WINBingo DiscussionGeneralRecommend a CacheHow To?SWAGMilestonesNews Article DiscussionsFraser ValleyKootenay - RockiesLower Mainland / Coast MountainsNorthern B.C.Thompson / OkanaganVancouver IslandWebsite Questions2012 Director Nominations & Discussions You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forumYou cannot attach files in this forumYou cannot download files in this forum Advertisement :: Copyright 2003 - 2009 BC Geocaching Association :: RSS Feed:Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BCGeocaching Interactive software released under GNU GPL, Code Credits, Privacy PolicyTheme by British Columbia Geocaching Association.
