Paladin Energy Ltd: Quarterly Activities Report for Period Ending-30 September 2011
Monday, October 31, 2011
Paladin Energy Ltd: Quarterly Activities Report for Period Ending-30 September 201107:30 EDT Monday, October 31, 2011PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 31, 2011) -Paladin Energy Ltd ("Paladin" or "the Company") (TSX:PDN)(ASX:PDN) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Report for the three month period ended September 30, 2011.HIGHLIGHTSProduction of 1.24Mlb U3O8- a decrease of 15% from last quarter.operations affected by combination of planned shutdowns and unscheduled remediation work.Langer Heinrich impacted by Stage 3 tie-in shutdowns but increasing production benefits evident as new equipment comes on-line.Kayelekera planned shutdown for plant upgrade plus unscheduled shutdown for remedial action on acid and drying plant caused 6 weeks loss of production in the quarter.localised ground movement caused the packaging/drying plant and acid plant to be taken off-line for remedial work.record plant run hours in July producing 234,281lb (85% of nameplate).Record sales for quarter: 2,001,673lb sold for US$102.74M. Post quarter Langer Heinrich producing at record levels and in excess of 90% of Stage 3 nameplate to 30thOctober.Kayelekera production was off-line for 13 days due to acid shortage and recommenced on schedule 14thOctober with acid plant coming on line 7thOctober.upgrades positive with the plant operating at nameplate operating hours and throughput. Uranium production increasing and expected to be 90% of nameplate for start of Lenders' Test 1st November as feed grades reach design capacity.SAFETYOne LTI was recorded for the quarter. This occurred at Langer Heinrich and involved lightly heated slurry splashes to the face and neck.QUARTERLY URANIUM SALESSales for the quarter were a record 2,001,673lb U3O8 generating revenue of US$102.74M, representing an average sales price of US$51.33/lb U3O8, generally in-line with the average uranium spot market price over the quarter. Spot uranium prices continued to languish extending from the Fukushima nuclear accident. The persistent deterioration of the uranium spot price post-Fukushima is impacting financial returns and for this quarter has negatively affected average sales price by a further $5/lb from that forecasted internally. As other producers have also indicated, these low uranium price levels will dramatically impact the supply growth outlook and are therefore considered unsustainable if a viable and vibrant supply industry is to be established to support the growth in global nuclear power now being reaffirmed. Uranium Sales Agreements Signed As advised in August, Paladin signed a series of term uranium sales agreements for production from the Langer Heinrich Stage 3 expansion. The agreements were signed with three new customers in the United States further strengthening Paladin's already significant presence within the U.S. nuclear market.Production commitments from the new agreements total more than 2.8Mlb U3O8 with deliveries beginning in 2012 and extending through to 2016. Contractual pricing provisions incorporate both fixed and base (escalated) mechanisms ranging from the low to mid $60's per pound U3O8.During the quarter, Paladin has also been engaging with a number of parties in relation to new sales contracts with a view to confirming further term agreements in the coming months.LANGER HEINRICH MINE (LHM), Namibia Production by quarterLHMDec QtrMar QtrJun QtrSept QtrProduction lb932,731795,815896,754849,067Production by monthLHMJulAugSeptProduction lb265,421265,453318,193During the quarter the plant consistently produced at the Stage 2 production levels with periods exceeding the Stage 2 capacity as the benefit of newly commissioned equipment started to make contributions. Production for the quarter however did suffer with 6 days of shutdowns required for the tie-in of Stage 3 equipment. Although further minor production disruptions are scheduled, production is expected to be well above Stage 2 nameplate during the December quarter.The production for the quarter amounted to 849,067lb (Jun 2011 quarter – 896,754lb), a decrease of 5.3%.MiningMining activities had a twofold focus: providing the required ore to the processing plant and also making provision for the soon to be increased ROM feed required as part of Stage 3 throughput requirements.Jun QtrSept QtrOre mined t1,686,7272,020,638Grade ppm769687Additional low grade ore mined t360,4451,214,524Grade (ppm)304328Waste/Ore ratio3.251.86Ore crushed t543,859499,384Grade ppm893961Mining primarily focused on opening up the new Pit C, as the other pits are currently ore-bound and only mined when ROM stocks dictate. At the close of the quarter there was over 6 weeks of ore feed on the ROM pad and another 4 weeks of broken ore remaining in the pits.Mining was also directed by the need to source construction-quality waste for the new tailings embankments. Phase 1 construction of the embankments passed the 605mRL and the facility is receiving tailings from the plant. Work on the tailings dam is now on a 24/7 roster to ensure that the rate of rise of the embankment exceeds that of the tailings deposition.Process Plant Operational Data Jun QtrSept QtrOre milled t543,859499,384Grade ppm893961Scrub efficiency %95.696.8Leach efficiency %90.385.1Wash efficiency %79.081.5Overall recovery %82.580.2Tonnage through the process plant reduced slightly from the previous quarter with a throughput of 499,400t of ore crushed (543,900t in June quarter) due to the interruptions experienced as a result of the tie-in shutdowns for Stage 3 equipment and constraints on heat in the leach circuits. The front-end circuits continued to perform well subsequent to the introduction of the new crushing and scrubbing circuit during the previous quarter. The new larger capacity scrubber provides much improved scrubbing efficiency and availability. The extraction in the leaching circuit performed below target expectations due to sub-optimal performance of the dated spiral heat exchangers. The new "flash-splash" system will be commissioned during the December quarter and much improved performance as a result in additional heat input is expected. During the quarter the two new Stage 3 leach tanks were commissioned and put into full operation. The resultant increased residence time in the leach circuit yielded immediate improved leach results.Counter-Current Decantation (CCD) continues to operate according to expectations. The additional Stage 3 CCD tanks have also been fully commissioned and put into operation.Ion Exchange performed well during the quarter with high levels of efficiency recorded.The overall plant efficiency reduced slightly during quarter, but showed significant improvements during the months of August (82.5%) and September (84%) as more equipment was commissioned and put into operation. TailingsDuring the quarter the tailings thickener circuit started to be commissioned and this work is ongoing whilst the tailings disposal has been permanently diverted to the new tailings facility.Stage 3 ExpansionThe Stage 3 expansion to take production from 3.7Mlb pa to 5.2Mlb pa is nearing completion with ramp-up and commissioning of the various processing areas progressing well. The recently completed crushing, conveying, scrubbing, classification, leach, CCD, boiler and tailings areas are now in operation and post quarter are contributing significantly to production output. The boiler plant has commenced steam production. The commissioning of the steam injection to the "flash-splash" and leach tank areas is awaiting final completion and certification of the steam distribution pipe work. The NIMCIX structures, equipment and electrical installation are complete and the NIMCIX columns have been undergoing final water filling and hydro testing. Process commissioning and ramp-up of the NIMCIX area will shortly commence upon completion of the outstanding pipe work connections in that area. The project has achieved two million man-hours without a lost time injury. Industrial actions between the main construction contractor and their employees, during the quarter, have now been resolved and a staged demobilisation programme for the construction workforce has been implemented.The project is at an overall 99% state of completion.Stage 4 Feasibility StudyThe technical aspects of the study are almost complete with cost estimations underway. The study is expected to be finalised at the end of December along with the Environmental Impact Assessment.KAYELEKERA MINE (KM), Malawi Production by quarterKMDec QtrMar QtrJun QtrSept QtrProduction534,201606,034566,248395,478Production by monthKMJulAugSeptProduction lb234,28143,853117,344Kayelekera's production performance during the September quarter dropped 30% from that of the previous quarter as a result of the planned plant upgrade shutdown in August and the unscheduled shutdown of the drying and packaging plant and the acid plant caused by localised ground movement. A total of 6 weeks were lost during the quarter due to the combination of the planned plant upgrade shutdown and the remedial work.As a result, the production for the quarter was reduced and amounted to 395,478lb (50% of nameplate production).Production for August of 43,853lb was 30,000lb short of target in addition the extension of remediation work into September caused a further production shortfall in the order of 140,000lb.MiningThe mining operations were impacted by the activities in the process plant during the quarter. The bulk of work undertaken involved drainage preparation ahead of the rain season and a select partial waste dump relocation which forms part of the ground movement remediation programme. The mining and process plant will continue working closely to fine tune the blending ratio associated with oxide and reduced ores to optimise acid consumption and other operating parameters.Jun QtrSept QtrOre mined t274,544231,416Grade ppm11151301Additional low grade mined t250,716101,076Grade ppm509519Waste t341,202421,912Process Plant Operating data Jun QtrJulAug *Sept *Sept QtrOperating time hrs1,7526321553321,119Mill feed, t287,473103,42223,94254,173181,537Grade ppm1,2391,2871,2671,0971,227Leach extraction %85.786.1284.085.1685.6RIP efficiency %91.890.1387.5389.6889.7Overall efficiency %80.075.875.1577.1076.1* Plant operational time reduced substantially as a result of planned upgrade shutdown as well as the shutdown of the packaging/drying and acid plants caused by localised ground movement.Process PlantThe trend of improved running times seen in May and June carried over into July. The plant did start up in September but production was constrained by a shortage of sulphuric acid with the acid plant off-line. During the planned shutdown in August all of the scheduled work required to achieve nameplate was completed.Overall recovery levels for the quarter remained below desired levels as various ore blends were being trialled to optimise acid consumption.The crushing/grinding circuit operated well, after the modifications were completed in August. Run time was however limited due to acid stock limitations while the acid plant was off line. Slurry handling leach launders, which have had limited plant throughput since startup, are now upgraded and initial indications are very positive. This should result in smoother operation at nameplate tonnages. Resin-in-Pulp operational issues continue to focus mostly on resin and elution management and adoption of an effective maintenance regime to manage acid corrosion and reduce downtime.As reported, the operation of the drying and packaging section was suspended late August. Production recommenced on the 12th September. Relocation of the centrifuge was undertaken in order to produce a "paste" product, for transport to LHM, where drying and final packaging is planned to be undertaken. All necessary approvals and permitting have been received from the Namibian and Malawian Authorities to use the LHM drying and packaging facilities while the necessary remediation work is being completed at KM. Reclamation and relocation of the drying equipment has commenced and the drying and packaging facility is expected to be running in early November. Costs optimisation efforts are continuing with the consideration of inclusion of a steam turbine on the acid plant, a review of mining contractor unit rates and reagent logistics and pricing. Already a significant reduction has been achieved in mining costs, with strong opportunity to reduce the cost both of some of the key reagents and transportation.Ground movement mitigation of the areas to the West of the plant is continuing. A formal rectification plan for the land slip was started in the September quarter with the partial movement of a waste dump and hydrogeological assessment for possible future dewatering. Ground movement reduced appreciably during the latter part of the quarter. Lenders' Test The Lenders' Test will commence 1st November.ExplorationThe drilling at the mine site, targeting deeper mineralisation to the west of the current resource area with the intention of upgrading the current mineral resource from inferred to indicated or measured, was completed in early September. A total of 62 holes for 9,554m were completed. All holes were downhole logged to obtain equivalent uranium grades. Control samples are currently being collected and will be sent for assaying. Assay results are expected late in 2011 with an updated mineral resource and subsequent ore reserve anticipated early in 2012.Exploration drilling in outlying target areas started with a total of 22 holes with 3,867m completed to date. OVERALL QUARTERLY PRODUCTION As explained, production for the quarter was impacted by both scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns particularly at KM. Due to scheduled shutdowns, a lower quarterly production was anticipated for both operations in preparation for expected solid December quarter production as LHM Stage 3 capacity and KM plant upgrade ramp-up. Unscheduled stoppages emanating from the ground movement effects caused a loss of about 140,000lb in production in September at KM.Combined Production Combined (LHM & KM) contribution by quarter is as follows:CombinedDec QtrMar QtrJun QtrSep Qtr *Production acct lb1,466,9321,401,8421,463,0091,244,545Combined (LHM & KM) contribution by Month is as follows:CombinedJulAugSeptProduction lb499,702309,306435,542* Production during the quarter was largely down as a result of shutdowns for upgrades, packaging/drying and acid plants at KM.Post Quarter PerformanceBoth LHM and KM, as of 30th October, were operating well. For October LHM is achieving 90% of Stage 3 nameplate production rate. As reported, production was also hampered after the plant upgrade by the inability of suppliers to meet sulphuric acid delivery commitments. This caused a further cessation of production early in October until the acid plant could be brought back into operation. KM began production on schedule on 14th October operating at improved efficiencies as well as nameplate rates with regards to operating hours and throughput. In this ramp-up feed grades are being steadily increased and production is expected to be 90% of nameplate for the Lenders' Test commencing 1st November 2011.MOUNT ISA REGION PROJECTS, QueenslandThe Mount Isa regional projects comprise the Isa Uranium Joint Venture (IUJV) (Paladin Energy Ltd 50%, Summit Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd 50% Operator), the Mount Isa North Uranium Project (Summit Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd 100% - Paladin holds 82.08% of Summit), and the Valhalla North Project (100% Paladin).Resource drilling during the quarter was completed in the IUJV area at Odin and commenced at Skal. Odin Uranium DepositAt Odin, resource delineation drilling was completed for 2011 in 28 RC holes. Mineralisation plunging 20° to 30° to the south was drilled over widths of 20m to 30m with grades in the range of 300ppm to 6,000ppm eU3O8 about 400m north of Valhalla. This mineralisation was highlighted by hole VR0432 (340m-371m/31m @ 1,006ppm eU3O8). High-grade intervals occur within brecciated and albitised sandstones near contacts with basalt. Down-dip drilling to the east identified thick (40-70m) mineralised zones that flatten with grades in this area ranging from 200ppm to 700ppm eU3O8. Overall, drilling was successful in defining significant resource extensions that will be pursued in 2012 with diamond drilling. A mineral resource update is expected during the December quarter.Skal Uranium DepositSkal resource drilling resumed with the objective to complete 40m x 40m resource drill outs at Skal South, East, North and Far North by December, and to test new targets at Skal Southwest and Grendel. A total of 45 holes have been planned for 7,420m. Ten RC holes (1,428m) were drilled in September at Skal South. Drilling highlights include hole SR0157, collared towards the south west end of Skal South, returning a 42m thick mineralised zone which included 10m (from 193m down hole) @ 1,280ppm eU3O8 and 8m @ 380ppm eU3O8 from 226m down hole.The drilling is expected to be completed in November/December 2011 with a new resource update to be announced in the March quarter of 2012.Other AreasExploration drilling of the blind Elbow target, located 8km NNW of Valhalla, was completed in 5, 200m spaced, RC holes. Strong alteration was encountered in three holes and included 4m @ 485ppm eU3O8 from 102m down hole in RR009. Follow-up drilling is planned in 2012.Evaluation of shallow auger drilling data in 1,675 holes along the Valhalla-Gunpowder corridor has identified 4 new drill targets. These are located along magnetic lineaments coincident with magnetic highs and spectrometric anomalies, where overburden thickness is 1-3m.AURORA – MICHELIN URANIUM PROJECT, CanadaAurora Energy Resources Inc. (Aurora) a wholly owned subsidiary of Paladin holds significant uranium assets in the prospective Central Mineral Belt of Newfoundland and Labrador in Eastern Canada. This contains the Michelin deposit (67.12Mlb U3O8 Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and 36.08Mlb U3O8 Inferred Mineral Resources) as well as the Jacques Lake, Nash, Inda, Gear and Rainbow Deposits.The Nunatsiavut Government has now embarked on a final round of consultation with the local population with an early January 2012 decision expected on lifting of the three year moratorium on uranium mining.BIGLRYI JOINT VENTURE, Northern Territory – Australia (Paladin 41.71%)The joint venture manager, Energy Metals Ltd, is carrying out resource extension and infill drilling. Energy Metals have recently announced encouraging results including:27m @ 0.21% eU3O8 from 47.8m in BRC11045 15.2m @ 0.32% eU3O8 from 49m in BRC11077 13.55m @ 0.26% eU3O8 from 121.1m in BRC11047 8.15m @ 0.34% eU3O8 from 79.25m in BRC11049 5.65m @ 0.50% eU3O8 from 136m in BRC11081 Drilling is expected to continue with 2 drill rigs on site for the remainder of the year.CORPORATE Group Wide Cost Rationalisation The announced cost rationalisation programme is underway. As part of this process, particularly in addressing the corporate overhead cost area, the MD/CEO has elected to reduce his salary by 25% for a period of 12 months. Selected Asset Farm outs The process of seeking joint venture parties for farming out minority interests in selected non-producing Australian assets is underway. The Company has received very encouraging responses to date and expects good progress to be made in this programme in the December and March quarters. US$141M Project Finance Facility For Stage 3 Expansion Paladin reported that the financing documentation required for the Stage 3 expansion was finalised and executed in September. Paladin drew-down US$127.2M from this facility and the majority of these funds were used to reimburse Paladin as it had funded the Stage 3 expansion from existing cash reserves. The undrawn portion of the facility post drawdown (US$7.8M) will be used to meet the remaining construction expenditure.The US$141M Facility consists of US$135M Project Financing Facility (currently drawn to US$127.2M) and a US$6M Cost Overrun Facility (currently undrawn).In accordance with the terms of the Facility, an equity cost overrun account is funded with a further US$6M.Banks involved with this project financing were Société Générale (as Agent), Nedbank Capital, Standard Bank Plc, Barclays Capital (the investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC) and Rand Merchant Bank, a division of FirstRand Bank Limited. A$68M Private Placement Paladin completed an institutional private placement of ordinary shares with RBC Capital Markets and UBS AG, Australia Branch acting as Global Joint Lead Placing Agents in late September. The Private Placement consisted of the issuance of 56,866,232 ordinary shares of the Company at a price of A$1.20 per share, for gross proceeds of A$68,239,478.40. Paladin intends to use the funds raised to strengthen Paladin's balance sheet to ensure the Company is well placed to meet all future commitments and pursue identified growth initiatives.URANIUM MARKET COMMENTSTokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), the operator of the earthquake-damaged Fukushima nuclear plants, has reported solid progress towards achieving cold shutdown status for the nuclear power plants earlier than originally predicted. Most nuclear energy countries have now completed post-Fukushima stress tests or revised risk assessments of their nuclear plants and have, where appropriate, identified and recommended additional safety or design modifications arising from the Fukushima experience. It remains that no nuclear plants apart from those in Germany (and the Fukushima plants) have been permanently shut, and no other country (except Italy which did not have any operational reactors) has abandoned nuclear power as a result of the Fukushima events.Looking forward, industry attention will now return to the fundamental issues of uranium supply and demand where the impact of Fukushima has been minimal in respect of medium and long term uranium demand but has highlighted once again the limited capacity of the uranium supply industry to invest in and sustain production growth in an orderly manner. Declaration The information in this announcement that relates to mineral resources is based on information compiled by David Princep BSc MAusIMM for Mineral Resources. Mr Princep has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves", and as a Qualified Person as defined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101.

Wheel hub bearing is one of the parts which plays a crucial role in giving smooth driving experience. Not all the credit of the vehicle's performance should be given to the engine, but there are a few more parts that are invisible yet powerful in enhancing the performance of your vehicle. One such part is the wheel hub bearing. The hub contains bearings that are packed with grease to allow smooth working of the wheels. This wheel hub bearing works harder as it carries the load of the vehicle. Located at the wheels, the wheel hub bearing transfers the weight of the vehicle to the wheel's axle and maintains the weight of the vehicle uniformly. Along with the suspension, the Dodge Ram wheel hub bearing gives hassle-free and comfortable driving experience. If you have sealed type of wheel hub bearing and if you face any problem in the working of the part, then you may have to replace the part as a whole. The wheel hub bearings and parts like these will require replacement more than once during the entire life time of the vehicle as it undergoes daily wear and tear.
So, when you find that your Dodge Ram wheel hub bearing needs replacement, then you are in the right place. In Car Parts Warehouse we give genuine wheel hub bearings and other car and auto parts. You can choose the part which fits the best to your vehicle by browsing through our online catalog. For any technical assistance, you can call us at 1-800-565-5021.

The Sampson County Amateur Radio Services, also known as SCARS, will be at the Clinton Farmer's Market in downtown Saturday afternoon with a special opportunity to generate some interest in using and operating ham radios.
"SCARS goes back into the 90s here," said member Lawton Eure in an interview. "We are a backup for emergency management. Ham radio operators provide communications when nothing else works."
For example, said Eure, if a hurricane comes through and wipes out the internet and cell towers, ham radios will still work. He explained folks often think their technology will always work, but if a disaster is big enough it can wipe out those types of communication.
Saturday's Amateur Radio event is part of a national campaign to get the word out about the emergency communications capability of the ham radio.
"We will be hanging a wire up in a tree," Eure explained. "We want to keep building on what we are doing." Eure and the other members of SCARS will be using the event Saturday as a recruitment opportunity.
"It doesn't matter if you are 8 or 80," Eure said, adding that one girl got her license before she was 10, and he knows of people that are 99 and still actively using a ham.
"I regularly talk to two men in their 80s," he detailed. "We provide a service to the community in times of need."
"We will be setting up at the Farmer's Market on Saturday if people want to come ask questions," Eure added. They will have a ladder truck to help them get the antenna setup downtown in the late afternoon and plan on doing demonstrations on voice and Morse code communication.
This national field day is being sponsored by the American Radio Relay League or ARRL, which has been around 100 years, said Eure. The ham radio is just as old.
"A lot of this came as a result of the sinking of the Titanic," Eure divulged. "The radio man on the Titanic got out the radio call." That led to a presentation to Congress and actions being taken to formulate and regulate amateur radio.
"First you have to get a license from the FCC," Eure explained, saying there is a test that you have to read and study for. There are also three categories of license, but after getting the first one you can talk on the amateur radio, and that the bands are based off of these licenses.
As of right now there isn't anywhere you can take the test in Sampson County. The closest place is Smithfield, he said.
"They will tell you right on the spot if you've passed," he said, adding that there is usually a test available every month.
"There is also a clear distinction between CB radio and ham radio," he said. "They are very, very different." They are regulated differently.
Using a radio and antenna ,the greatest distance that Eure has talked is 11,000 miles.
"I had a friend that connected me with someone in Hong Kong. He has antenna set up at his house where the base of the antenna is 55 feet off the ground.
"My antenna looks like an upside down umbrella," he said. There is no where to buy the radio locally but, he said, there are plenty of places you can get one online.
"There is an active market in used equipment," Eure detailed. A database is also in the works that is going to be used for "spotting" who they have talked to by their call sign and frequency. The signals bounce off the ionisphere, he said.
"It's like a bunch of guys talking at a service station," he said about their conversations on the ham. He often gets on in the evenings and talks, and there are others that still do Morse code and other digital mediums.
"You can get a used radio for anywhere between $500 to $700," he informed. He said that the upper limit goes as far as $10,000 to $11,000.
"Various radios have different capabilities, with different things inside," he said. The level of clarity of the communication is what separates the cheaper versus more expensive equipment.
The local club wants to get more people involved and be able to provide even more of a public service.
"We want to be that backup for 911," expressed Eure.
Setup for the event will start at noon on Saturday, with demonstrations running from 2-6 p.m.. The SCARS club will be joined by local law enforcement, Emergency Management Services and fire departments.

Zenobia Cham Palace: The best view over the ruines
This hotel has an unique location, few metres away the entrance of Palmyra's archaeological park. This means that you can seat at the bar terrace and enjoy the view of almost the whole site! Very nice view at sunset and sunrise.
The rooms are OK, ours was a bit too small, with A/C and well equipped bathroom.
The price is a bit high but I guess you pay also the pleasure of the view!

Al Nakheel: You know you are in Palmyra
I really enjoyed my stay at this small hotel. It is very popular. While I was waiting in reception, several tourists came in to enquire about a bed for the night, but they were fully booked.
The manager (Mohamed) and his cousin (Abdul) are very freindly and helpful.
The decor in the rooms are a bit dated, but comfortable. No problem with hot water (on suite bathroom).
Good breakfast is served.
This hotel offers very good value for money.
It might sound a bit strange, but I enjoyed my stay at this hotel more than at the 5* Apamee Cham Palace in Hama.

Villa Palmyra: Not the best place to spend the night
The Villa Palmyra is a perfectly adequate property, conveniently located on Palmyra's main street. The rooftop restaurant has panoramic views of the ruins, and the breakfast service is good.
Because I had never received an email response to my Internet inquiries, I finally reserved a room at this hotel through an online booking service (several months in advance). However, when I phoned a few days, prior to my arrival (to confirm my reservation), the owner/manager told me he had no record of my reservation. Fortunately, he still had a single room, available. I still have not established if this error was the fault of the hotel or of the booking service.
Hotel complaints:
The rooms are rather small, and those on the street side have only single pane glass, which does little to reduce the street noise in the evening hours. I found it difficult to sleep, even using earplugs.
The hotel advertises they accept credit cards, however when I had visited, I was told the credit card machine was not operating. I was forced to pay in cash.
Out of frustration (with the nightly noise problem), I departed one day earlier, than planned.
I paid $50US, for a single room, in October, 2008.

Heliopolis Palmyra: Best view, not much more
Heliopolis Palmyra Hotel is located in Tadmor, modern Palmyra, at the edge of the Oasis. The best feature of the hotel is its panoramic views of the Oasis and the ancient ruins. Although guidebooks named it as one of the better mid-range places to stay in Palmyra, I was somewhat disappointed in the hotel overall. It is indeed inexpensive, at $60 per night for two, but the amenities and rooms are mediocre. If I were to return to Palmyra, I would probably stay at the Cham Palace Hotel which - while overpriced - offers standard and consistent amenities for $40 more per room. All in all, however, a one night stay at Heliopolis was not terrible.

Ishtar Hotel: Ideal accomodation in Palmyra
I visited Palmyra for a weekend and stayed at the Ishtar Hotel. It was ideally located on the main street, and from it I easily walked to the ruins and local shops/restaurants. The room was really comforable and the air conditioning a blessing in the August desert heat! Helpful staff Naim and Ismail both speak great English and sorted out transport and other things for me. The hotel restaurant opened the day I left so missed out on trying the food, however the breakfast provided was great. Would definately reccommend it to others - great value for money.

ishtar hotel: palmyra best mid range hotel
Ishtar Hotel, +963 31 5913 073, fax +963 31 5913 260, mobile +963 94 318 068 (the first one on the left side when you enter the main street coming from the ruins), email: email@example.com. One of the best hotels in Palmyra with very reasonable prices - USD20 for a double room , USD15 for a single room including tax and breakfast. It has a nice cave bar in the basement where you can enjoy the local beers and the tasty red wine. Clean comfortable rooms with private bathrooms and AC in every room. The friendly staff speaks fluent English and French they will be happy to help you about anything you need in Palmyra.

Ishtar Hotel: Next to Ruins from Basic Accommodations
The bus driver kept his lights on us while we knocked on the locked door at around 12pm. Lights came on and the owner opened up. The Ishtar Hotel is a small family operated hotel within easy walking distance from the ruins. The desk clerk in our Damascus Hotel had recommended this place and had made the reservation for us. No credit card numbers were required. Ours was a double on the second floor, with a window a/c, and its own bathroom. We paid $24USD, which isn't too bad because prices in Palmyra are a bit higher than elsewhere in Syria. The restaurant downstairs serves coffee and an egg in the morning and basic Arabic style cuisine with a beer at night. This is one of the better bargains in town. Link provides an even more glowing recommendation and a photo of the lobby, which appears better here than I recall.

Heliopolis hotel: Fantastic view
Heliopolis is a modern, three-star hotel, located at a very quite street. Rooms are simple but very clean with all the modern facilities and most of them have fantastic view to the oasis and the ruins. Food is very good and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Villa Palmyra, Palmyra: Money Missing? Ja. Money Stolen
Palmyra is worth a visit. The roman city is really beautiful.
But be careful!
We stayed there 2 days (20th-21th september 2006) at Villa Palmyra Hotel. They look nice, very helpful and the hotel has great views of the roman city.
Apart of Cham Hotel and Heliopolis, Villa Palmyra is the other betst hotel (or at least expensive hotel) in Palmyra.
They stole us 400 Euros, just the banknotes (200 in euros, and more than 180 euros in Jordan Dinars). It was our money for the following days in Jordan, before coming back to Spain. We realised that we were stolen in Jordan, so there is no possibility for going to the police. The amount was in two different wallets, each one inside the two suitcases (and each one closed with a numeric code of 3 digits). So, it was just time to open it.
Honestly, we didnt expect this from a 3 star hotel. And we supose that this wont be an extraordinary case.
I emailed the hotel, but I havent got any response yet.
It happened also to one friend of me in Palmyra, but at Heliopolis Hotel.
Ahh, check the bill at every restaurant!!

Ishtar Hotel: good location
The Ishtar Hotel is a mid-range hotel of similar standard to the Orient Hotel. Its advantage is that it is on the main Quwatli Street at the end nearest to the ruins. Also, unlike the Orient, it has its own restaurant and a cellar bar. The rooms at the Orient are slightly nicer, however, and the prices a little lower.

Orient Hotel: clean and modern
The Orient is a good mid-range option. It has a central location. I stayed here for 2 nights and paid S£1000 per night for a room with AC, TV and modern, en-suite bathroom. Like many hotels in Syria it is staffed by a small group of men, who seem to live in the lobby. They are sometimes drinking tea, but mostly sleeping.
The hotel is favoured by adventure overland travel groups and there was one there during my stay.

Al Faris Hotel: Avoid it...
Al Faris Hotel is a small, dirty hotel, owned by a cunning man and his uncle, who is also the hotel's driver. Rooms are shabby and smell like a sh@#$hole, (at least mine was) with no view (only one room has a view and costs double) and no towels. The hotel's food is awful and the hotel's driver, too. The day I was leaving Palmyra I asked him to drive me to Kadmus bus station; instead of this he drove me to "Flower's" bus station, where, after a brief conversation he had with the man at the ticket office, I paid 150SP for the two hours ride to Deir (ticket with Kadmus cost 90SP) . I was so fed up that I didn't say anything, I only wanted to leave Palmyra as sooner as possible… My advice is to avoid Al Faris, you'll find better –and cheaper- hotels of the same category.

Al Faris Hotel: A down to Earth, friendly place to stay
Arriving to Palmyra on a bus, we were greeted by Mohammed, the owner/manager of Al Faris Hotel. We did not have reservations anywhere and it was hard to argue with $19 for a double room. The rooms are not that great, but it very close to the ruins.
The best part of Al Faris is the satellite TV in the rooms. There is not much to do in Palmyra at night, so having 700 channels to choose from is a definite bonus.
Mohammed is a wonderful host. We spent many hours the night we stayed there talking with him and other hotel guests. He can make arrangements for a taxi to drive you back and forth from the hotel to the ruins, to the valley of the dead and to the hilltop fortress.

NSA, Google Cyberattack Records To Remain Sealed, Court Rules
Federal officials are not required to disclose National Security Agency (NSA) records related to a 2010 cyberattack on Google users in China under the Freedom of Information Act, an appeals court ruled on Friday.
The original request for communications records of discussions between the NSA and the Mountain View, California-based tech company was made by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a privacy advocacy and civil liberties organization. However, the agency said that they could never confirm or deny the existence of any such records, issuing what is known as a 'Glomar' response, CNN's Bill Mears said.
The NSA asserts that disclosing any information related to the hackings could make American government information systems vulnerable to attacks, added Virginia Mayo of the Associated Press (AP). Last year, a federal court judge sided with the security organization, and now a three-judge panel with the Washington DC Court of Appeals has upheld that previous verdict, she added.
"The existence of a relationship or communications between the NSA and any private company certainly constitutes an 'activity' of the agency subject to protection" from public disclosure, Judge Janice Rogers Brown said, according to Mears. "Moreover, if private entities knew that any of their attempts to reach out to NSA could be made public through a FOIA request, they might hesitate or decline to contact the agency, thereby hindering its Information Assurance mission."
In addressing the 'Glomar' response, Brown wrote that the key issue was whether or not acknowledging either the existence or nonexistence of the sought-after documents would reveal secret NSA activities, Mayo said. Conversely, EPIC had insisted that some of the records they had requested, including unsolicited communications sent from Google to the security agency, were not covered under exemptions claimed by NSA officials.
"In reviewing an agency's Glomar response, this court exercises caution when the information requested" directly involves national security, Brown added, according to the AP. "NSA need not make a specific showing of potential harm to national security in order to justify withholding information" in such cases, she wrote in her decision.

Either way, Kiffin's rhetoric will keep this team from believing it has now arrived or accepting its current standing. There are maybe a dozen questions the Trojans will have to address in spring, but they have survived what figures to be the worst of the storm.
3. The good, the bad and the Barkley
We know Matt Barkley and his sprained ankle wasn't feeling like himself. But he still played like himself, for better or worse. Once again Barkley's greatest strength, his ability to make plays, was also his worst enemy.
The ratio is better than 1:1 between opportunities he creates and instances he endangers the Trojans. But after two full seasons he still is making too many poor decisions. Given how Barkley played most the night, especially in the third quarter, who's to say USC even beats UCLA had Johnathan Franklin's fumble not slipped away from Shareece Wright, who was on the ground, and caromed to Malcolm Smith.
I see a lot of Brett Favre in Barkley, which is not always a good thing. Barkley plays as if he has to make the big throw, score the winning touchdown and save the team. In a sense, he wants to do everything.
It's similar to Kobe Bryant, who makes shots we've never seen before, except a lot of them are shots we've never seen attempted before and shouldn't be.
The biggest difference is Barkley is the quarterback and a big part of his job is to manage the game and protect the ball. That needs to outweigh his inclination to swing for the fences. This isn't baseball where it's acceptable to lead the league in home runs and strikeouts. For a quarterback, that's just being immature and selfish.
I think Barkley, whom I know envisions winning a national title and the Heisman and one day being the first pick in the NFL draft, is better than that.
4. Where is UCLA going?
Add an arrow to each end of an asterisk and that's where UCLA's program is headed: everywhere. The Bruins fell to 4-8 a year after going 7-6, blowing the chance to contend in the Pac-10 when only four teams are bowl eligible.
The Pistol offense produced polarizing success and failure (more on that later). They have two starting quarterbacks returning that take as much off the table as they bring to it. Franklin had one of the top-10 rushing seasons in school history but has now fumbled 14 times in two seasons. Every receiver and tight end on the roster is back and that could be a good or bad sign.
The defense had its worst season since 2005 and might be losing its top two players to the NFL. And yet, a number of underclassmen made notable contributions that would suggest UCLA might be much better in the coming seasons.
First, Neuheisel will have to sort out his current staff, namely his offensive and defensive coordinators. It was Neuheisel's call to adopt the Pistol and with it the Bruins ran and passed far better than they had at any point during the past three seasons. But never at the same time.
Will that be at Norm Chow's expense? Also, will second-year DC Chuck Bullough get another season to potentially see a lot of promising talent manifest?
The university has said Neuheisel, who just went 4-8 for the second time in three years and is now 15-22 after three seasons, will definitely be back next year. But given how the Bruins finished in 2010, losing six of their final seven and failing to make a bowl game, Neuheisel might be desperate and decide not to bring one or both of them back. It will likely be his head if UCLA isn't a winning team in 2011.

2. Reduce the heat to moderate, add the onions to the skillet, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until soft. Spoon the onions over the chops. Add the wine and boil for 1 minute, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
3. Return the chops and onions to the skillet, and arrange the sliced pears on top. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes, or until the chops are tender and cooked through. Check occasionally and add a bit of water if the liquid is evaporating. Serve with sweet potatoes or winter squash and with Zucchini Patties.

7 injured as turbulence hits Qantas A380
More News from Agence France-Presse
SYDNEY – Seven passengers were injured and four needed treatment in hospital after a Qantas A380 flight from London to Singapore was rattled by strong turbulence, the Australian airline said on Sunday.
The Airbus superjumbo was three hours from Singapore when it hit a storm over Indian airspace early on Saturday and encountered "severe turbulence", a Qantas spokeswoman said.
"Seven passengers were impacted, four of them were taken to hospital on arrival in Singapore. They've all since been discharged and cleared to fly," she said.
They mostly suffered bruising and had been out of their seats when the air pocket hit, she added.
"The aircraft was assessed, there's no damage and it's scheduled to arrive (in Sydney) at 9 o'clock this evening."
The incident extended a run of misfortune for Qantas's A380 fleet. One of the airline's double-decker planes suffered a mid-air engine explosion after take-off from Singapore in November 2010. The plane landed safely.
The same Qantas plane was last week announced to be one of several A380s in operation by airlines to have had small cracks on their wings. Both Airbus and the carriers said there was no safety issue.

The VNUS Closure procedure uses ultrasound-guided catheters to enter the affected veins and then bombard the walls with a barrage of radio frequency energy, which causes the veins to collapse and minimizes their appearance to the naked eye. In addition to this highly refined approach, Dr. Nahhas also offers other tried-and-true methods for concealing the signs of blue-tinged varicose veins, such as sclerotherapy injections and compression stockings, as opposed to drawing skin-colored tattoos over the affected areas.24825 Michigan AvenueDearborn, MI US

John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Smith Tapes: I'm Not The Beatles: John & Yoko Interviews 1969-72
The five iconic conversations with Village Voice journalist and radio personality Howard Smith from 1969-72. Discussions about music, love, creativity, peace and politics, following the couple's evolution from the Beatles into revolutionaries. Mastered from Smith's original audio reels, which had been buried in the back of his West Village loft for 40 years. Never before released on CD. 8 disc set.
" ...Fans will enjoy the wide-ranging discussions from Lennon and Ono's various peace protests, to their fad diets, to the experimental, avant-garde art exhibits and eccentric films."
—Chris Hicks, Deseret News
"Smith's output as cultural landscape detector and reflector are priceless artifacts of the world that birthed us. Here are artifacts that do not require restoration; they speak with the same resonance today as they did in the before time."
—August March, Alibi
" Imagine dropping in on a private conversation among three friends, expressing opinions on a wide variety of topics, and that summarizes the experience of listening to this eight-disc set. It perfectly encapsulates how Lennon developed artistically and personally in a short time span, and reveals the hidden lives of an otherwise very public couple."
—Kit O'Toole, Something Else

Pete Fiutak
Follow me ... Follow me to freedom! ...
- Last week it was Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. There will be more. Oh yes, there will be more.
- Gut feeling; this is Clemson's week to get tagged. The Georgia Tech offense has been a bit too mediocre over the last few weeks and it's overdue to come up with one of its
patented, out-of-the-blue, "you couldn't simulate
this in one week of practices," performances. The Yellow Jacket secondary is playing well and the defense is doing a decent enough job to get by, but it'll take an unfocused Clemson to pull off the upset.
- With all of that said, it's time to start putting Tajh Boyd in the Heisman race. At the immediate moment he's playing as well as Andrew Luck, and he earns points from an MVP standpoint. Without Luck, Stanford would probably still be unbeaten against its soft schedule. Without Boyd, Clemson is probably 5-3.
- Gut feeling; I'm not ready to assume Kansas State goes bye-bye this week. Lost on the first half of the season is that Oklahoma faced exactly one high-octane offense, Texas Tech's, and it hasn't faced anyone who can run the ball like Kansas State. No one's as disciplined as this Wildcat bunch,
and there's a chance OU never finds its groove until
it's too late.
- The last time Oklahoma lost back-to-back games in the regular season was October of 1999.
- With all of that said, if Oklahoma wins out, it's going to end up playing the Alabama/LSU winner for the national title.
- And will lose.
- Badly.
- It would've been interesting to have seen Wisconsin get its shot against the LSU/Alabama winner. These aren't high-flying Tiger and Tide teams; they're tough, dirty, and brutish. Next week will come down to who's nastier in the trenches, and Wisconsin is the one team
with the make-up to stand up to the bullies.
- If the Badgers blow out a rested and angry Ohio State that had two weeks off to prepare, and in Columbus, I'm ready to dismiss the Michigan State game as a quirky fluke.
- Boise State, take note of what Mr. Nine Touchdown Case Keenum and Houston did to Rice. THAT'S what you do if you want people to ignore your lousy schedule.
- Here's the crazy part lost in Houston's 73-point explosion; it happened in a hiccup. The Cougar offense didn't score until the last play of the first quarter, and the final touchdown came less than five minutes into the fourth. Keenum gets all the focus and attention for his record-setting night, getting past Graham Harrell to become the NCAA's all-time
leader in touchdown passes, but it was Patrick Edwards who blew the game wide open with 318 yards and five scores on seven catches.
- There's not even a split-second worth of doubt in my mind that Houston in a BCS game would be 2007
Sugar Bowl Hawaii against Georgia.
- No, Keenum isn't much of a pro prospect. He
doesn't have the size and he doesn't have the
downfield arm, but he can hang around the league for
a long time as a smart, accurate No. 2 or a great
scout team No. 3.
- Don't knock it; it's one of the best jobs in the
history of the planet. You get paid gobs and gobs of
money to practice playing football.
- Think about it for a moment. Keenum, if he can maintain the most pedestrian of paces, and assuming he plays in a Conference USA title game and a bowl, will finish up his career with
around 160 touchdown passes and 19,000 yards. It took an extra year of eligibility, conference title games, and bowls to get there, but even so, assuming that some quarterback down the road plays in a high-octane passing offense and ends up starting all four years, stays healthy, and
works his way through conference title games and bowls to end up with 56 starts,
he'll have to average around 340 yards and three touchdown passes a game, every game, just to be close to the mark.
- I wrote roughly the same blurb a few years ago about Timmy Chang's stats at Hawaii.
- I'm more into the strategic aspect of football than the physical side, but watching Nelson Cruz wuss out on what would've been the World Series-winning catch made me proud to like football more.
- The 1986 and 1991 Game Sixes were better.
- As was the season premiere of Beavis and
Butt-head. The dogging of Jwoww and Jersey Shore
alone was worth the long, long wait.
- Seriously, you make the catch, you crash into the wall, you win the World Series,
and you spend the next five months healing up.
- If Matt Barkley, one of the good guys in the game, is saying you quit, you probably quit.
- Watch out for Notre Dame and Tommy Rees to light up Navy like a Christmas tree. If
East Carolina's Dominique Davis can complete 26 passes in a row against the Midshipman secondary, Rees,
if healthy, could be brilliant.
- Michael Floyd will catch at least 12 passes.
- There will never be a time when I don't write or
call him Malcom Floyd first, and there won't be a
time when I don't call him Michael Floyd and then
wonder if I just called him Malcom.
- Navy might be 2-5, and it'll be 2-6, but four of the losses have come by a grand total of eight points, losing to South Carolina by three, Air Force by one in OT, Rutgers by one, and East Carolina by three.
- And Southern Miss by 28.
- Part One of the Fun Statement of the Week That I'm Too Tired And Lazy To Do
The Research Needed To See If It's Actually True. Wake Forest has beaten Duke 12 times in a row. I'm going to go on a crazy limb and say in the history of Wake Forest football,
that doubles the longest win streak over anyone
- Wake Forest lost to Norfolk Blues, whatever that was, 31-0 in 1910, and it closed out its 1911 season with a 26-0 win over the U.S.S. Franklin.
- In 1915, Wake Forest beat Florence YMCA 80-0.
- - Part Two of the Fun Statement of the Week That I'm Too Tired And Lazy To Do The Research Needed To See If It's Actually True. I'll throw it out there that after New Mexico plays Air Force this week, no player in the history of college football will have made more tackles against one team than Lobo senior Carmen Messina. He made five tackles against the Falcons as a freshman, followed it up with 19 stops as a sophomore and 17 as a junior. It's not crazy to think he'll come up with 19 tackles to finish with 60 for his four-game career
in the series.
- Knock, Knock. Who's there? A real, live, decent game for Georgia.
- 'll be floored if Michigan State loses to Nebraska. This is a bad, bad, bad matchup for a Husker team that has to run the ball to win. The Spartan defensive line could put on a clinic.
- Demand 800 passing yards and 85 points in the Baylor-Oklahoma State showdown.
- Considering all the excitement surrounding Texas A&M going to the SEC, there couldn't be more apathetic boredom surrounding the idea of Missouri making the jump. West Virginia or Louisville going to the Big 12 is barely inducing a national yawn, and the idea of Boise State and Air Force going to the Big East is being used as a punchline.
- If you were my close, personal friend and you were going off to Vegas to legally "invest" what little money you might have left, I'd suggest taking a look-see at - and I'm going to keep chasing to try to salvage some semblance of pride - Mississippi State -10 over Kentucky, Iowa -15 over Minnesota, Michigan State +4 over Nebraska, West Virginia -6.5 over Rutgers, Bowling Green -3.5 over Kent State, Hawaii -7 over Idaho, Washington -4 over Arizona, Kansas State +13.5 over Oklahoma, Wisconsin -7 over Ohio State, and my Five-Star, Master Lock Pick Of The Millennium For This Week, St. Louis over Texas. No way, no how Carpenter isn't masterful.
- By the way, considering I'm sort of rocking this year in the Staff Picks, and I'm doing fine on the Cavalcade selections, there's some strange force of nature at work here.
For those of you who jumped off the go-the-opposite bandwagon, you should know better. To those professionals who know that it's a marathon and not a sprint, and for those doing
cartwheels after I went 2-8 last week, you're most certainly welcome. I've now gone 12-28 against the spread with these picks over the first eight weeks.
- There are plenty of very important, very interesting games this weekend, so please, there needs to be a 48-hour moratorium on any and all talk about LSU vs. Alabama. That's what all of next week is for.
- The early line is LSU -4.5.
Richard Cirminiello
NC State QB Mike Glennon may not be Russell Wilson, but he's quietly turning the corner in his starting debut, throwing 19 touchdowns to only six picks. A trip to Tallahassee affords the junior another opportunity to step further outside Wilson's shadow.
With a win in Lincoln, will Michigan State have completed its best October in school history? It'd be hard to argue with a four-game run of Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
The Huskers, largely forgotten since the Oct. 1 blowout loss in Madison, are eager to get reintroduced to the rest of the nation at the expense of the Spartans. QB Taylor Martinez and RB Rex Burkhead will struggle for daylight against DT Jerel Worthy and a nasty Michigan State front that'll know what's coming.
Michigan ought not to look past Purdue this weekend. The Boilermakers are playing better in October, nearly knocking off Penn State, and surprising Illinois.
Few teams have disappointed me more this year than Missouri. The Tigers have a rugged final stretch, beginning this week in College Station, which could keep them home for the postseason.
No individual has disappointed me more than Oregon CB Cliff Harris. Can some well-heeled booster just hire this loose cannon a driver?
It's been a rough past few weeks for the service academies. Over the last three weekends, Army, Air Force and Navy have combined to go 0-8, threatening the postseason fate of all three programs.
If you're Oregon head coach Chip Kelly, do you even bother to suit up RB LaMichael James this weekend versus Wazzu? The Ducks might as well wait another week, and have No. 21 as healthy as possible for the final kick against Washington, Stanford, USC and Oregon State.
One of the under-the-radar games of Week 9 has Wake Forest traveling to North Carolina. If the Demon Deacons can keep the Heels reeling, they'll go to Clemson on Nov. 12 with a chance to steal the Atlantic Division from the Tigers.
Without making a tackle or a block, Eric LeGrand is already the Player of the Week in college football. The paralyzed former Scarlet Knights defender will lead his former teammates out of the tunnel for their game with West Virginia, which has beaten Rutgers16 straight times.
At what point does everyone start taking Kansas State and its QB Collin Klein more seriously? Does beating Oklahoma in Manhattan this Saturday do the trick?
Shaun Lewis is to the Oklahoma State defense what WR Justin Blackmon and RB Joseph Randle are to the offense. The sophomore linebacker has a penchant for constantly making momentum-changing plays.
Terming anything the "biggest" is always a dangerous move. However, this year's Cocktail Party in Jacksonville is high on the list of pivotal games in the career of Georgia head coach Mark Richt.
