The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa Rating: 4.0 Pearls
The 403-room Westin Savannah is an upper-middle-range resort located on an island across the river from Savannah's Historic District. The main draws here are the PGA golf course and the high-end spa, but there are other features that make this a great pick: a large pool, two solid restaurants, spacious rooms with high-end amenities (and most with great views of the city), and dozens of activities available daily for the whole family. It's true that the location is secluded, but there's a free ferry that takes guests to the lively riverfront area (a quick ride straight across the river from the resort).
The Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront, Autograph Collection Rating: 4.0 Pearls
This upscale boutique hotel has a location right by the river, on the northern edge of the Historic District. It has 75 rooms (though some are small for the price) with outstanding bathrooms and unique high-end decor inspired by the period when 18th-century British maritime settlers landed in Savannah (think: headboards of red velvet and sturdy dark wood, faux fur throws, leather and brass accents). One of the most attractive features of this boutique is the hopping rooftop bar with river views, which is popular with locals and tourists alike. But it lacks some amenities standard in properties of this category (and high price point), such as a pool or a spa.
Hilton Savannah DeSoto Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The 246-room Hilton Savannah DeSoto places visitors within walking distance from many popular attractions, bars, and restaurants. The newly-renovated DeSoto Grille delivers a luxurious Southern vibe, with tall ceilings and large chandeliers; however, the rest of the hotel lacks the sought-after Historic District charm. Instead, the Hilton Savannah DeSoto offers guests comfortable but chain-like rooms with so-so "Savannah" touches, such as framed photos of the city on the walls. The rooms on higher levels have excellent views of the city.
Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Savannah Historic District Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The highlight of this 150-room Doubletree is its location in the Historic District, within walking distance of numerous restaurants, shops, and museums. The warm lobby, with wood-paneled walls, a fireplace, and leather couches, lends the hotel a genuine Southern feel. The rooms attempt the same vibe (with plaid curtains and poster beds) but have a more generic vibe, and the bathrooms are cramped. Overall, it's a good value for those visiting Savannah, with free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, a small fitness center, and a heated outdoor pool (nice for families). And the free cookies don't hurt!
Hyatt Regency Savannah Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The 351-room Hyatt Regency's highlight is its location in the Historic District: within walking distance of numerous museums and restaurants and overlooking the Savannah River. Rooms are sleek, with dark wood accents, iPod docks, and flat-screen TVs; many rooms have river or city views, but some look into the lobby with no outside view, making them feel more low-brow and dreary. The bathrooms in standard rooms are small, but rooms in general are a good size, and the on-site restaurant, coffee shop, and fitness center are convenient.
Staybridge Suites Savannah Historic District Rating: 3.0 Pearls
Don't be fooled: while the red brick exterior of the Staybridge Suites Savannah fits in well with its surroundings, the interior is filled with generic mid-level chain décor without much charm or frills. The suites are all spacious (minus the bathrooms) with kitchenettes and comfortable bedding, but some of them get all outside light from windows that face inside the hotel. While the hotel's central location is a plus, the free Wi-Fi and multiple meeting rooms make it better suited for business travelers. Those looking for a more authentic experience should consider the nearby Planters Inn.
Savannah Marriott Riverfront Rating: 3.5 Pearls
This upper-middle-range property sticks out as a bland chain hotel in a city known for historic charm. The rooms look updated and are clean, but have generic decor and clashing carpet patterns. Many look out into the enclosed courtyard that bizarrely houses both the lobby and the indoor pool. The hotel is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and museums, as well as a nearby ferry that connects guests to golfing and the convention center. Travelers looking for a more authentic Savannah experience may want to try the nearby Planters Inn.

New Info On Baby Found In River
Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand has released new information about the baby that was found on Labor Day...floating down the Mississippi River. A fisherman saw a white boat, possibly a Sea Rae with a cabin, anchored along a bank of the river. He saw a woman in her 30's to 40's alone in the boat...and she wasn't fishing. Brand says they are not looking to arrest the woman, but.....
He said the the baby, named Angel, deserves a proper burial and he personally would like to see closure in the case. As for how the baby died.......that's still being investigated.

CHILDREN with three parents might sound like monstrous chimeras, but they are among us already. In the late 1990s, an American team created the first genetically engineered humans by adding part of the egg of one woman to the egg of another, to treat infertility. When the US Food and Drug Administration got wind of the technique it was promptly banned, though related methods have been used in other countries.
Now a research team in the UK is experimenting with creating three-parent embryos. This time, the goal is to prevent children inheriting a rare group of serious diseases caused by faulty mitochondria, the powerhouses in our cells. Mitochondrial diseases affect at least 1 in 8000 people, probably more, and there are no treatments.
Mitochondria are always inherited from the mother, so for women in whom they are faulty, replacing the mitochondria in their eggs with ...

10 Years of Hope Anniversary Appeal
We want to do even more! By raising £100,000, we can train 400 new coaches and improve the lives of 18,000 more vulnerable children in West Africa.
Coaching for Hope
Coaching for Hope is an innovative programme which uses football to create better futures for young people living in some of the most disadvantaged communities around the world. We aim to empower disadvantaged young people in Africa and Asia to create better futures for themselves and their communities. We do this by tapping into the universal passion for football and using it as a tool to engage with and support vulnerable young people.
Where we work
Our methods
We train individuals from the local community to run coaching and games sessions. Coaching for Hope have developed an innovative curriculum which enables life skills lessons to be integrated within these sessions, tackling vital issues such as HIV/AIDS awareness and substance misuse. As relationships are built, the sessions provide a 'safe space' for young people to discuss the issues they are facing and our coaches can support them to realise their potential.
HIV/AIDS awareness
Gender equality
Disability in sport
Youth empowerment
Substance Abuse
For many growing up in disadvantaged communities, the risks and dangers of becoming involved in drugs are massive. Coaching for Hope has designed a curriculum which uses football as a tool to give young people key facts about drugs.

Remember the good ol' flowers of yesteryear – as kids we picked bouquets of daisies, black-eyed Susans, Queen Anne's lace, buttercups … whatever we could find. Those black-eyed Susans were the only native ones in that bunch and their bold colors made them a real standout.
Black-eyed Susan is generally the plant classified as Rudbeckia hirta, but the common name is also applied to some of the other species in the genus that have the black/brown center: R. fulgida and R. triloba. Rudbeckia also shares the common name "coneflower" with several other genera.
They are one of the first yellow composite flowers to bloom in my area and often get lumped into a group of "yellow flowers" by people that can't seem to tell a Rudbeckia from a Helianthus from a Silphium from a Coreopsis …. I'll admit that trying to identify yellow warblers is equally confusing for me.
Rudbeckia is native throughout the US, from the mid-west to the north-east and to the south/mid-atlantic. Even California and the pacific north-west have species. Waxy coneflower (Rudbeckia glaucescens) is particularly beautiful. Various species are adaptable to both dry and moist conditions. Green-headed or cutleaf coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata) is particularly wet tolerant. Most are easy to grow from seed. And they are great for pollinators!
Rudbeckia species in general are considered perennial although R. hirta can behave as an annual or biennial. A fellow down the road from me lets them grow on a steep bank that he doesn't mow. I look for them every year and just this week the first bloom opened up and I smiled when I drove by.
So if you need a dependable plant for a sunny area (wet or dry, pick your species appropriately), you can't go wrong with a Rudbeckia. They were dependable flowers in pioneer gardens and in gardens ever since. They are still a good choice today. Look for them at native plant sales, as pass along plants from a friend or you might just find them in a nursery.

In days long past, I was concurrently enrolled in three Korean classes of varying levels at the YBM main branch across the street from Jongmyo, so surprisingly I share a long history with this park — best known for being the hoppingest haunt for elderly Korean men this side of the Han. After finishing class, I came over here almost every day to pour over my books in the shade of one of the many towering trees. Unfortunately, back in those days, the park was also ground zero for anti-American demonstrations so I often found myself turned away by cops in riot gear and protesters with pickets that read "Go home yankee!" Anyhow, a trip here will leave you feeling as if you just opened a window and peered into the Korea of yore.
Getting there: Take Line 3, 5, or 1 to Jongnosamga Station. You're there!
This park is temporarily closed for renovation.

The balance (also balance scale, beam balance and laboratory balance) was the first mass measuring instrument invented. In its traditional form, it consists of a pivoted horizontal lever of equal length arms, called the beam, with a weighing pan, also called scale (hence the term "scales") scalepan, or bason (obsolete ) suspended from each arm. The unknown mass is placed in one pan, and standard masses are added to the other pan until the beam is as close to equilibrium as possible. In precision balances, a slider weight is moved along a graduated scale. The slider position gives a fine correction to the weight value. Although a balance technically compares weights, not masses, the weight of an object is proportional to its mass, and the standard weights used with balances are usually labeled in mass units. Balances are used for precision mass measurement, because unlike spring scales their accuracy is not affected by differences in the local gravity, which can vary by almost 0.5% at different locations on Earth. A change in the strength of the gravitational field caused by moving the balance will not change the measured mass, because the moments of force on either side of the balance beam are affected equally.
Very precise measurements are achieved by ensuring that the fulcrum of the beam is essentially friction-free (a knife edge is the traditional solution), by attaching a pointer to the beam which amplifies any deviation from a balance position; and finally by using the lever principle, which allows fractional masses to be applied by movement of a small mass along the measuring arm of the beam, as described above. For greatest accuracy, there needs to be an allowance for the buoyancy in air, whose effect depends on the densities of the masses involved.
The original form of a balance consisted of a beam with a fulcrum at its center. For highest accuracy, the fulcrum would consist of a sharp V-shaped pivot seated in a shallower V-shaped bearing. To determine the mass of the object, a combination of reference masses was hung on one end of the beam while the object of unknown mass was hung on the other end (see balance and steelyard balance). For high precision work, the center beam balance is still one of the most accurate technologies available, and is commonly used for calibrating test weights.
To reduce the need for large reference masses, an off-center beam can be used. A balance with an off-center beam can be almost as accurate as a scale with a center beam, but the off-center beam requires special reference masses and cannot be intrinsically checked for accuracy by simply swapping the contents of the pans as a center-beam balance can. To reduce the need for small graduated reference masses, a sliding weight called a poise can be installed so that it can be positioned along a calibrated scale. A poise adds further intricacies to the calibration procedure, since the exact mass of the poise must be adjusted to the exact lever ratio of the beam.
For greater convenience in placing large and awkward loads, a platform can be floated on a cantilever beam system which brings the proportional force to a noseiron bearing; this pulls on a stilyard rod to transmit the reduced force to a conveniently sized beam. One still sees this design in portable beam balances of 500 kg capacity which are commonly used in harsh environments without electricity, as well as in the lighter duty mechanical bathroom "scale" (misnamed, since it is actually a balance). The additional pivots and bearings all reduce the accuracy and complicate calibration; the float system must be corrected for corner errors before the span is corrected by adjusting the balance beam and poise. Such systems are typically accurate to at best 1/10,000 of their capacity, unless they are expensively engineered.
Some high-end mechanical balances also use dials with counterbalancing masses instead of springs, a hybrid design with some of the accuracy advantages of the poise and beam but the convenience of a dial reading. These designs are expensive to produce and are largely obsolete thanks to electronics.
An analytical balance is an instrument thats used to measure mass to a very high degree of precision. The weighing pan(s) of a high precision (.01 mg or better) analytical balance are inside a transparent enclosure with doors so dust does not collect and so any air currents in the room do not affect the delicate balance. The use of a vented balance safety enclosure that has uniquely designed acrylic airfoils allows a smooth turbulence-free airflow that prevents balance fluctuation and the weighing of mass down to 1μg without fluctuations or loss of product. Also, the sample must be at room temperature to prevent natural convection from forming air currents inside the enclosure, affecting the weighing.
Analytical precision is achieved by maintaining a constant load on the balance beam, by subtracting mass on the same side of the beam that the sample is added. The final balance is achieved by using a small spring force rather than subtracting fixed weights.
Spring scales measure weight, the local force of gravity on an object, and are usually calibrated in units of force such as Newtons or pounds-force. They have two sources of error that balance scales do not; the measured weight varies with the strength of the local gravitational force, as much as 0.5% at different locations, and the elasticity of the measurement spring can vary slightly with temperature. Spring scales which are legal for commerce either have temperature compensated springs or are used at a fairly constant temperature, and must be calibrated at the location in which they are used, to eliminate the effect of gravity variations.
In electronic versions of spring scales, the deflection of a beam supporting the unknown weight is measured using a strain gauge, which is a length-sensitive electrical resistance. The capacity of such devices is only limited by the resistance of the beam to deflection. The results from several supporting locations may be added electronically, so this technique is especially suitable for determining the weight of very heavy objects, such as trucks and railcars, and is used in a modern weigh bridge.
Government regulation generally requires periodic inspections by licensed technicians using weights whose calibration is traceable to an approved laboratory. Scales intended for casual use such as bathroom or diet scales may be produced, but must by law be labelled "Not Legal for Trade" to ensure that they are not repurposed in a way that jeopardizes commercial interest. In the United States, the document describing how scales must be designed, installed, and used for commercial purposes is NIST Handbook 44.
Because gravity varies by over 0.5% over the surface of the earth, the distinction between force due to gravity and mass is relevant for accurate calibration of scales for commercial purposes. Usually the goal is to measure the mass of the sample rather than its force due to gravity at that particular location.
Traditional mechanical balance-beam scales intrinsically measured mass. But ordinary electronic scales intrinsically measure the gravitational force between the sample and the earth, i.e. the weight of the sample, which varies with location. So such a scale has to be re-calibrated after installation, for that specific location, in order to obtain an accurate indication of mass.
See Verification and validation for further information
Some of the sources of potential error in high-precision balances or scales include the following:

CPC's Ruling Capacity Should be Increased: Senior Official

By doing so, China should successfully carry out the historical task to carry forward the socialist cause with the Chinese characteristics, the vice-president added.

Meet The Team - Greg Danelian
Greg joined our team as a night porter in September 2012 and is now a receptionist managing hotel reservations.
Prior to joining us, Greg was working in research and development as a manager for Pizza Hut in Cambridge, an incredibly busy role. Greg and his team tested out new products before general UK release and also trialled new staff training schemes from the American branch of the company.
Greg says: "I don't consider any day at work to be normal. The Chester Residence is a 5 star, multi-award winning, world-famous hotel - what's normal about that?! The best thing about my role has to be the people I work with. I love our team and I think our chemistry makes things really special for the guests."
Greg's only bugbear is feeling bad when guests check out…and tell him they don't want to leave!
Outside of work, Greg is a freelance website and graphic designer and a reggae DJ once a week. He also regularly plays football.

WASHINGTON -- Two technology programs at the heart of the National Security Agency's drive to combat 21st-century threats are stumbling badly, hampering the agency's ability to fight terrorism and other emerging threats, current and former government officials say.
One is Cryptologic Mission Management, a computer software program with an estimated cost of $300 million that was designed to help the NSA track the implementation of new projects but is so flawed that the agency is trying to pull the plug. The other, code-named Groundbreaker, is a multibillion-dollar computer systems upgrade that frequently gets its wires crossed.

Local production company Sandpiper Productions, owned and operated by Dorchester's Mike Purdy, continues to bring top musical talent to the region, this time welcoming Michel Pagliaro, the godfather of Quebec and Canadian rock.
Pagliaro will take the stage at Casino New Brunswick on Saturday, Oct. 11, with doors opening at 7 p.m.
With Pagliaro there is no compromise. He was the first Canadian to receive gold records in both English and French in the early 1970s. Trained in the school of the street, he received his first guitar at the age of 10 from his Italian-Canadian father. At age 13, he formed his first band and at 15 he performed in clubs until the wee hours of the morning.
In 1970, he had his first English hit with "Give Us One More Chance," followed by "Lovin' You Ain't Easy," "Rainshowers", "Some Sing Some Dance" and "What the Hell I Got." He had a huge hit in 1973 with "J'entends frapper," which became the biggest selling single in the history of the Québec music industry. Other French hits included "Fou de toi", "Louise" and Emeute dans la prison". A true showman, Michel Pagliaro will rock the house with his band in concert at Casino New Brunswick.
Tickets are available at Casino NB, by visiting casinonb.ca or by calling 866-943-8849.

I've heard that ogg sounds similar to an mp3 file at 64kbs higher in
sampling, so that a 64kbs ogg sounds like a 128 kbs mp3. I've also read that
that 192kbs ogg is indistinguishable from flac. I started to collect flac,
but haven't jumped on the ogg bandwagon yet. Perhaps it's time...
I'm SO glad this thread appeared. I have the Ravemp3, one of the first mp3
players to come out. It has a whopping 32MB of flash. It'll be so nice to
have more than 6-8 songs. ;-)

REGION: Trujillo - Valle del Cauca
VARIETAL: Caturra, Colombia, Typica
FARM: Las Esperanza
FARMER: Rigoberto and Luis Eduardo Herrera
ROAST: Medium
NOTES: Washed process, Organic
Our new Granja La Esperanza from Colombia offers a bright melon, peach, cocoa flavor with crisp berry and wine undertones that manifests into a creamy body with just the right amount of acidity. Granja La Esperanza is certified organic and Rain forest certified.
Nearly 100 years ago the Herrera family founded Finca Potosi in the Valle de Cauca region known as the "Coffee Belt of Colombia". Over the years the Herrera family acquired four additional farms. These five farms make up the Granja La Esperanza Coffee Project.For many years, coffee grown at Finca Potosi was sold through the C-Market but ten years ago, in an effort to generate a better price for their specialty coffee, Finca Potosi converted to organic coffee production along with 34 hectars of Finca La Esperanza. The remaining hectars of Finca La Esperanza are used for Geisha production. The three remaining farms are in development of additional specialty coffee varieties.

What would you do if you had limited funds but big financial obligations?
One in four Americans answer by dipping into their retirement plans to pay for more immediate needs such as tuition, overdue bills, credit cards and mortgages.
American households withdraw a total of more than $70 billion from 401(k)s or similar retirement savings plans for nonretirement spending needs every year, according to a new study from HelloWallet.
With the erosion of traditional pensions and constant threats to Social Security, many private sector workers are relying on their 401(k) nest eggs to help provide financial stability before they retire, potentially damaging their ability to maintain their standard of living during their retirement years.
In the aftermath of the Great Recession and increased "leakage" from 401(k)s, policymakers and retirement savings experts are concerned about the further breakdown of America's retirement system. Some are looking for ways to reform 401(k)s including increasing worker contributions by 1 percent annually as well as monthly statements with retirement income need projections.
Others experts such as economist Teresa Ghilarducci are offering innovative alternatives to 401(k)s that would provide workers with guaranteed retirement income. We are going to have to find new solutions if future generations of American workers are to achieve the dream of a secure retirement after a lifetime of hard work.
Read McClatchy Newspapers' full article about alternative retirement plans and the impact of 401(k) plan leakage.

Ronald writes a letter each on fifteen tags and hands seven each to two girls. Each girl re-arranges the seven tags such as to frame a valid word of seven characters.
Ronald takes the word proposed by first girl and places the fifteenth tag at the end of it and voilà a legit word of eight.
Same does happen when he places the fifteenth tag at the beginning of the second girl's word.
And much to their wonder, when Ronald places this letter between the two words, the word of fifteen letters, thus formed, is equally valid in english language.
One of the characters that second girl has, is a 'G'. For you to determine, is the final word of fifteen.

Big Plays Help RBC Remain Unbeaten
By Brian Deakyne
RED BANK — Red Bank Catholic knew it was going to be a different game.
Aside from their first two victories of the season, over Red Bank Regional and Manasquan, the Caseys entered last Friday's game against St. John Vianney knowing they would be facing a daunting offense and a resilient defense. More than anything, they knew the Lancers were looking to pull off an upset.
Red Bank Catholic was up for the challenge.
The Caseys scored 24 points in the second quarter alone, and big plays helped them stay undefeated, beating St. John Vianney, 45-14 at Count Basie Field. The win moved RBC to 3-0 on the season, and dropped the Lancers to 1-2. The win also moved the Caseys to 2-0 in A-Central play.
"We played hard and I'm proud of that. They played hard, too, and I think we did a good job adjusting on the fly," Red Bank Catholic head coach Jim Portela said. "Whenever you play a team that does something different, scheme-wise, it takes a little while to pick up to their speed."
Among those big plays in the second quarter were a 79-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by senior James Taylor to give Red Bank Catholic a 14-7 lead, and an 80-yard interception returned for a touchdown by senior cornerback Chris Whitlock.
"The biggest play was the kickoff return, that was huge. And of course the interception, too," Portela said. "Just because both times when that happened, I thought they had momentum. It came at a good time."
"We just had a couple big plays that really started the momentum for us," Taylor said. "We got the ball rolling and it was huge for us. We needed that spark on special teams and the defense holding them. Once we got that spark, I think we really took off."
Early, the Caseys struggled to stop the Lancers passing attack. St. John Vianney put up the first points on the Caseys' defense on the opening play of the second quarter — snapping RBC's scoreless record at 9 quarters — on a 7-yard touchdown strike from junior quarterback Billy DeMato to senior wide out Steve Callari.
In all, DeMato threw for 236 yards on the Caseys' defense, but the defense was able to shutout the Lancers in the second half.
"We had to change our whole scheme on defense for them," Whitlock said. "It was the first time we've seen it and we practiced all week against it. We did well."
Red Bank Catholic changed its base defense to a nickel package; using five defensive backs to counter the Lancers often-used five wide out set.
The Caseys also added junior running back Larry Redaelli back in the lineup on Friday. After missing a game with an ankle injury, Redaelli carried the load for RBC, running the ball 24 times for 135 yards and a touchdown.
Senior running back Jesse Flaherty and sophomore running back Mike Cordova each added rushing scores for the Caseys as well.
Junior quarterback Pat Toomey was 7-of-13 passing for 86 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
"They were working us hard on defense, so thank goodness that Larry was back to take the load off [Flaherty and Cordova]," Portela said
Red Bank Catholic will be facing its third consecutive A-Central opponent tonight, when the Caseys hit the road to take on Raritan (0-3), in an attempt to remain unbeaten overall and keep a first-place tie in the division with Rumson-Fair Haven.

Ferrari 599XX
Posted: 30 Jun 2010
But that all seems a bit by-the-by when you take a look at the spec of the 599XX - this is not a brief tweak and some fancy spoilers. Although the 599XX is based on the 599 Fiorano, the engineers have been playing silly buggers with virtually every aspect of the car. The headlines are impressive enough, with the re-engineer of the Fiorano's V12 now producing 700bhp at an eye-popping 9,000rpm.

CLOSED: Wafu
• $$ • Japanese
Old Japanese cinema posters shoot, squint, and kick their way off a long wall that leads to samurai film icons, flickering through the door of the back room. Pals, daters, and bar hoppers perch on tall stools that line a seemingly never-ending bar, where cocktails arrive with lurid colors and hand-carved ice. The music is jacked to blistering levels, like a hot peppercorn in your ear. Handrolls are packaged with roasted crab, lamb tongue comes brazenly dunked in gin-spiked ponzu, and the pork-intensive ramen is richer than Paul Allen. Welcome to Portland's rock-'n'-roll ramen spot, where the drinking is serious and the food is designed but decidedly playful. Does it all work? It's too early to tell. (Smoked chicken schmaltz has already been yanked from the house noodle soup formula.) But last year, chef Trent Pierce proved to be one of Portland's most electric talents at the short-lived Fin. Now Wafu, with its nicely curated whiskey flights and sake on tap, is already as spirited as a Miyazaki movie.

Following voluntary services, a squad of Germans, Polish and Cameroonians doctors, Deutschland based , spent a busy weekend at the Baham's district hospital from Monday February 4 to Sunday 10, 2013; essentially helping sick people by diagnosing, prescribing and sharing gratuitously drugs to them.
In fact, 4 foreigners doctors specialized in neurology, odontology and gynecology accompanied by native Cameroonians came last week at this hospital in the Koung-Khi division, west region, in the aim of attending suffering people coming from everywhere. Some veritable humanitarian activities with north-south exchanges and a bit of technology transfer.
To gather a great number of people for this campaign, sensibilization had been made in the town earlier before by distributing open tracts to people, informing them that a team of strangers' doctors will come especially to tend them freely for a week. As a response for this fortunate announce, a huge crowd of patients answered present before the sunrise, ranking themselves by ticket order.
The immense number of persons present in fact is the affirmation of the deep health problems that suffer a simple citizen in his life. With the lack of money to face the onerous cost of health here, itself based on a poor equipped hospitalization system and weak drugs availability in pharmacy, people are often condemned to other sentences where they could have been normally recovered with competences coming from other countries. For these reasons as others, the arrival of these humanitarian activists is taken as a gift of nature and nobody want to miss the unique occasion!
The remaining job was a duty for doctors who carefully and consciously began their works. Under the banner of Arzt Hilft! , the German charitable NGO which is leading here these doctors, many people, who before hadn't access to good offices succeeded at this occasion to not only afford a well-qualified diagnostic but also free drugs after consultation! Really, the visitors shared at least 2,000,000 XAF in drugs to people who were present! A manner to doktor Alain Nguento, a Baham born and chief leading to the team of donators, to show to the population the advantages they can gain for his presence in Germany.
The seven days ceremonies were great and marvelous twice and the populations enjoyed at maximum the comforting presence of foreign doctors. An intention we praise to be followed by a great number of Cameroonians in Diaspora, which could help our country accede to development as rich countries in the North.

By Karan Kumar – Exclusive to Gold Investing News
Nordic Mines AB plans to reach full production capacity at its Laiva mine in Finland before the end of 2011, the company announced last month. The Laiva mine contains some of the largest gold reserves in the Nordic region. Finland is an up and coming player in the gold mining sector, which is dominated by China, the United States, Australia, Russia and South Africa.
In October, Finland said it would speed up mining permit applications with the Economy Minister Jyri Haekaemies stating the ministry has given the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency funds to triple the number of officials processing the applications.
"I'm really satisfied to be able to report that we're about to start gold extraction at the Laiva mine. After over two months' work on commissioning and fine-tuning the concentration plant and subsequent production processes, most of the plant is now operational. Our goal is to achieve full production capacity at the Laiva mine before year-end," Nordic Mines' Chief Executive Officer Michael Nilsson said. He added that just six years after Nordic Mines started exploration at the Laiva mine in Finland, most of the processing plant is now operational.
High-grade gold in Finland
While Finland arrived late on the world stage of gold mining, it holds promise and already many mining companies are investing in the country to look for gold. In May of this year, Finland announced a highly promising gold deposit in Petäjäselkä near Kittilä in Finnish Lapland during test drilling by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). Some of the test samples have contained as much as 28 grams of gold per ton, according to Risto Pietilä, director of the GTK unit in Rovaniemi. The usual gold content in the mines in Lapland is about 4 grams per ton.
The GTK says that Finland currently has five gold mines but believes that their number will increase in the future as about 200 gold deposits have already been test-drilled around the country. Lapland has the most promising. Kittilä already has one operating gold mine owned by Canadian-based mining company Agnico-Eagle (TSX:AEM), which extracted and enriched about 5,000 kg of gold from its Kittilä mine, which is the largest mine in the Nordic countries. With the price of gold at its highest for 50 years, the new discovery is certain to attract interest from international mining companies.
According to Finland's Ministry of Employment and the Economy, mining production has doubled over the past decade and the growth has been especially fast in recent years. In 2010 Finnish mines set a new production record reaching a total of 70 million tons. Base metal mine, Talvivaara, in eastern Finland and gold mine, Suurikuusikko, in Finnish Lapland have contributed significantly to this growth.
Nordic Mines' current gold exploration projects in Finland also include Oltava, Tormua and Kumiseva. The company said in its third-quarter earnings release that the gold deposits in Laiva are have an ore reserve of 12.9 million tonnes and a gold content of 1.85 grams per tonne. Once fully operational, the mine is expected to yield 118,000 ounces or around 3,700 kg of gold per year.
Mining in Finland
Other miners also have gold mining interests in Finland. Canada's Northland Resources (TSX:NAU,FWB:NPK) is developing its 100 percent owned Hannukainen iron oxide-copper-gold project in the Kolari district of Northern Finland. Australia's Dragon Mining (ASX:DRA) owns the Jokisivu and Orivesi gold mines in Finland and the Vammala production centre, in close proximity of the gold mines. The company is exploring and investing more in the region. Dragon Mining said on December 6 that receipt of all results from the Phase 5 drilling campaign undertaken on the Juomasuo deposit at the Kuusamo Gold Project in Northern Finland were encouraging. An analysis showed gold intercepts including 5.65 meters at 16.56 grams a ton.
Gold price
Gold futures for February delivery fell to $1,577 an ounce on December 15, with prices dropping nearly 8 percent in the previous three days. While some analysts warn that gold prices may tumble to $1,400 soon, the metal is still up more than 75 percent since the end of 2008. Gold prices have climbed 11 percent in 2011, heading for an 11th straight annual gain, as investors sought a haven amid prospects of stagnating global growth.

Novels with great food scenes... what are your favorites?
It's getting to the time of year when I like to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book. I love books with great scenes that revolve around food, even ones that aren't billed as food novels. "The Time-Traveller's Wife," for example, is not a food novel, but it has some delicious food scenes. So what are your favorites? I'm always looking for recommendations.

HELO TC Assault
Company: Griffin Technology
Price: $59.99
Every now and then I get a chance to play with a cool new toy. Usually, by "new cool toy" I'm referring to some computer-related tool, self-defense weapon, firearm, or bicycle. This time, it's a genuine toy. I'm referring to the Griffin HELO TC Assault remote control helicopter.

Crayola Color Studio HD Review
Company: Griffin Technology
Price: $29.99
When I heard about the Color Studio HD earlier this year I was really interested. A "pen" that you can use with the iPad in a coloring app. It sounded great and I couldn't wait to try it out. Well, recently Griffin sent me a sample unit and I got to satisfy my curiosity. Is it as great as it seemed? Read on to find out.
First, a little more about the Color Studio HD. The Color Studio HD consists of two parts. First there is an iPad app which is free to download from the App Store. The app consists of animated coloring pages. Second, and the main part, is the drawing pen. The pen looks like an oversized Crayola marker which runs on a AA battery. The tip is rubber and the bottom is the on/off switch. It is like a battery powered stylus that makes a humming sound when on. The concept is that you use the pen to color the animated pages in the app.
Apple iPhone 4 Bumper (currently unavailable for sale)
Griffin Reveal Etch iPhone 4 Case — $29.99
Griffin Elan Frame iPhone 4 Case — $29.99-$34.99
Griffin Outfit Ice iPhone 4 Case — $29.99
By now, the big to-do about iPhone 4 reception issues and Apple's Case Program seems to have subsided. That being the said, need for a case for your iPhone 4 is still just as great as it has ever been. A recent incident in my own life drove that point home to me clearly.
Just recently while out fishing with my father, I learned a real lesson about the importance of having a case on your iPhone. Let me give you some good advice; don't keep your phone in your pants pocket while walking around in a boat! Having been an avid fisherman for nearly all of my forty years, I have never fallen out of a boat while fishing — until last weekend.
While placing the boat on the trailer at the boat ramp, I tripped and fell headfirst out of my boat and into the balmy sixty-degree waters of Owasco Lake, one of upstate New York's famous Finger Lakes. Not only was it truly embarrassing, but with my iPhone 4 in my pocket, I was certain it was instantly ruined! In fact, as I was falling all I could think of was the fact that my iPhone was about to bite the dust. Fortunately, I was testing out the Griffin Outfit Ice case, which provided just enough protection to save my iPhone 4 from ruination.
Elan Sleeve
Prices vary, see below
Griffin Technology
When it comes to cases accessories for the iPad or iPhone or iPods Griffin is a name that immediately comes to mind. Here are three cases that I recently had the opportunity to evaluate.
Elan Sleeve $49.99
Griffin WindowSeat for iPhone 3G
Company: Griffin Technology
Price: $29.99
I've been looking at and reviewing cases for the iPhone 3G but there is also the need for an accessory for your iPhone that a lot of folks tend to overlook. If you spend a lot of time on the road in your car, either traveling to and from work, or just traveling, gas prices permitting, then you really need to consider looking at a mount for your iPhone.
Normally if I'm driving, it's not that far and I just keep the iPhone in its case on my belt or if I'm expecting a call in a short time period, I'll place it in the center console. While this can work for short trips, longer times in the car need some consideration. Am you planning on using your iPhone's GPS capability, make or receive a lot of telephone calls or do you have the luxury of plugging your iPhone into the car stereo system? If so, then consider Griffin's WindowSeat for your vehicle.

heres a link back to the workbench build of the wild dream:
and heres a pic as a reminder:
last year i happened to see the real car at a show and had a chance to take a bunch of reference photos. one thing i noticed then was how sophisticated the car was underneath. the rear axle particularly, with torsion bar suspension and inboard disk brakes. inboard disk brakes...nothing but high line race cars had those back then did they? and all this was chromed to the hilt, some thing i toned down a bit so i could look at it. here are a few photos of the real thing:
heres a look at the rear suspension and geometry on the real thing:
and a version of the kit i am building posing in front of it.
i think i will save this post and start another to continue ... stay tuned!
Posted 16 May 2012 - 06:36 PM
heres a pic of the box to refresh everyones memory:
nice artwork on the box and the kit inside proves to be well engineered and goes together amazingly, surprisingly, well...both the wild dream and this companion are intricate but not overly delicate though they were pretty much above my abilities when i was young...but i do remember making the wild dream look almost decent back then...we will see how 50 years improves ones skills...or not!
here are a couple of pics of the near finished motor...it is completely finished now and i will probably be installing it in the chassis later or tomorrow...will post some more pics on that monumentous occasion!
it actually looks a lot better now and you might notice that the plug wires arent quite comfortable yet...thats because the goofy exhaust header thing (more like a straight chrome bar...even on the real car) has to run through there yet then i will form the wires around them.
here is the front suspension all glued together with white glue...i am currently regluing the joints with epoxy and supeglue:
very nice detail there and as mentioned, it all fits together surprisingly nicely.
now here is the rear suspension in all its glory...or as best as i could make it anyway:
alright so thanks for looking and i will probably update this in a day or two because i plan on getting the motor in place and mounting the tires and wheels, then i will proceed to get the body into paint!

Wasn't the real car auctioned at Barrett-Jackson recently ?
Posted 17 May 2012 - 09:53 AM
I also like your workbench setup with the clear standoffs!!
Posted 19 May 2012 - 02:05 PM
installed the motor into the chassis and finished up the wheels (except for the three prong knockoff to finish them off) and posed the thing today for pics, even put the body on it to check stance (not at all to my liking so adjustments are in order, starting with rear track width). here are some pics with comments:
and a shot from behind showing the rear suspension up to the front with wheels and tires posed in place:
here is how the rear suspension looks poking out from under the body. looks pretty awesome to me...wheel track is too wide though and thats because of the mods i made with the disk brakes. but it shouldnt be too hard to correct, have to drill out the wheel center (covered by a knock off eventually) and then shorten the end of the axle.
and a shot showing a similar situation on the front end: too wide of track. this one aint gonna be so easy. not sure how to approach it yet...if i had known i would have ground down this boss on the disk brake that holds the wheel off from it. now its gonna be tricky with that delicate front end. i think a circular saw blade in the ole dremel might come in handy.
and you can see why i am not too worried about how the plug wires look at the rear of the motor: you cant even see them and thats without the exhaust system which goes in next:
finally for this afternoon, here are three pieces still to installed to complete the chassis/motor: two exhaust system pipes and the driveshaft. typically i will make my own aluminum driveshaft but in this case the kit piece looks pretty good with good detail in the U joints so i am gonna keep it. dont know how it will fit at this point. also note i made some exhaust tips from aluminum tubing which look a lot nicer than those thin ones on the end of the exhaust pipe. i really should dechrome this and remove all the lines etc but instead i think i will do a bit of foiling and i have already painted the muffler red (just for contrast) and removed the seams from the pipes as much as i wanted to...
thanks again for looking...might not get much more done for a bit because i currently have some other responsibilities plus i want to get the surfite and triumph motorcycle done so i might not update this for a while now...

and rob, yeah some of the tooling has been available in other kits, i dont recall exactly which ones, and none of them had enough included to call it anything other than slim to partially complete. its a real shame too...i have always really really loved that wild dream...the king T not so much but still...its undercarriage is pretty impressive.

it was very hard to capture the color with my camera, but this shot pretty much shows how the color really looks to the eye. i managed to get all pieces about the same color saturation at least to my eye right now and they all look like this first photo. pretty close to the pics posted above.
ok so that was very relieving to have the color turn out so well first try (hope i am not jinxing myself there) but i had another problem i had been puzzling over since i started this. the real car had a polished brass radiatory shell as you can see in my pics and i am pretty sure the original did too. unfortunately the kit radiator is chrome which is useless unless maybe i would be content with like spraying clear yellow over the chrome and calling it brass (dont laugh...the thought occurred to me for more than a passing second) but more likely trying to cover it in BMF brass if such a thing exists, or maybe alclad or maybe i just dont know what.
this past weekend though i go to the Stockton NNL and run into the man i call "Mr Brass", Jerry Cardinal. now if you dont know well jerry is pretty good with brass shall we say and he had a few pieces to a project he was working on laid out on display. one piece was a T Ford radiator shell in BRASS! so i said hey jerry how much would you want to craft one of these for me (and i told him about the King T which he had already seen in earlier stage)? well so typical of jerry he just looked at it and said "take it". i couldnt believe it, so i asked again just to make sure. he said yeah take it, it was just a first attempt and if you can use it, its yours! so yeah i can use it! took it home and polished it up a bit (it was raw unfinished brass with solder stains a little). the kit radiator fits in it well and i can steal the lower support from the kit shell and this is looking pretty nice!
so thanks for looking again and hopefully i will get this thing painted an also hopefully finished in time for NNL West this Feb or March or whenever it may be!

i had the original, desecrated it, traded it off, got it back, dont know if i still have it or not.
then... i bought (5) 1/8 scale monogram originals and the guy gave me a box of 1/25 cars, in the box was both ''t''s!
so i will restore them sometime!!!!
Posted 25 November 2012 - 07:00 PM
anyway, photos:
interior with wood grain wheel and dashboard enclosure. remember i am just building the model, not designing it!
T bucket with interior placed inside:
a look at the undercarriage on fender unit from the front:
you can see the mirror, nice effect if you ask me:
kinda the whole mess all in one place:
next challenge is to narrow the track of the front end at least 1/8" and hopefully more like 1/4"...this is gonna be interesting and i hate to think i am going to have to ham-fist all this delicate work but what can ya do? dremel time!
Posted 27 November 2012 - 07:25 PM
i marked the width of the fender unit on some graph paper and proceeded to see exactly how much i had to narrow something. right off the bat it became apparent this is a kit design "feature" because as you can see in this photo, the axle and brake assembly sticks out to the marks designating the outer edges of the fender unit. and the wheels have a small center so they only mount against the outer side of the collar coming out of the disk brake rotor. that means basically that the tires will be outside of the fender unit.
so it occurs to me to maybe slice that collar off the brake rotors, which would have been a swell idea back, oh, say 6 months ago but at this point with the delicate suspension and all, i would prefer to avoid it. but looking at the problem a bit closer i see that i can drill out the wheel backs and let them slip over the collars and tighten the track a bit that way. now realize these wheels have a front and a back, and the front of the backs can be seen in the spaces between the spokes on the front of the wheel. i took one of these backs and enlarged the center hole so it would slip over that collar and it looked pretty good, so i narrowed the wheel back by relieving some from the front and back of it, to make it sit closer to the front side of the wheel and also to clear the tie rod and junk on the inside of the wheel. way harder to describe than to do almost!
here is a before and after with the wheel backs before mods (on the right) and drilled and narrowed (on the left):
(nice ejector pin marks eh?) and a shot of the two from a different angle so you can see how much narrow the one on the left is:
this all looked pretty good and got me about an 1/8" on both sides...not enough to really pull in the tires but enough that it doesnt look freakish, and as mentioned the original had some of that so it can be considered prototypically correct i guess.
heres a shot of the inside of one wheel sitting tight against the brake rotor:
and a shot of the corrected track with both wheels posed:
finally here is a shot from above without wheels mounted to compare with the next with the wheels mounted. again note my marks which represent the OUTER edge of the fender unit that will ride above the tires...also note how close the tie rod doodad come to the tire and wheel, thats why i narrowed the inside half of the wheel, to give a bit more clearance there, and also note that right side tire and wheel isnt up against the rotor all the way:
thanks for looking!

It seems the engine set back in the kit is much more than 1:1. Is this a photo illusion or a design flaw?
Very nice build you have going I'll be watching, J2

So I've been having problems with my sinuses today, right after bragging to someone that I was sinus problem free since surgery in 2015….
So I've come up with some of my own …. I can't call them remedies … helpful measures for all that liquid.
1. The Soaker Upper. You can use one or two, depending on the flow.
2. The Blower Soaker. This ensures that you will never be caught mid-flow.
3. The Catcher. Ne'er a drop to be seen. This is my personal favorite, but I'm going to have to find someone to make them in nasal sizes and then sell them to the SharkTank crowd so I can buy them at Tarjay.
4. The Recreational Pick-A-Piece. Psychoanalyze your sinuses. (And it's pick-a-piece of paper towel, not your nose. Lawd knows that here's nothing left in there after all that blowing.)
Here are some ink blot ideas to get you started on your quest for nasal-discovery. Feel free to do the same thing with what appears on your pillow case in the morning.
5. The Electric Drill. There's always the option of making a little money with all this snorting. My other half said it sounded like an electric drill when I tried to breath in though my nose, so I'm going to see if one of those audio book agencies might be interested in hiring me. Any takers?
