Carroll Community College Offers Mental Health
and Disability Awareness Fair this Fall
Westminster, Md., Aug. 25, 2009-The Second Annual Carroll Community College Mental Health and Disability Awareness Fair will be held Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Agencies representing mental health and disability organizations are invited to participate by setting up information tables. Agencies will help raise awareness of the supports that are available throughout Carroll County.
The Governor of Maryland has proclaimed October as Disability History and Awareness Month. The observation serves to create "greater awareness, understanding, and support for individuals with disabilities," said Governor Martin O'Malley."By emphasizing disabilities awareness activities in our school systems, we are working toward a future where every person with a disability is respected and valued as a contributing member of our community."
Agencies seeking more information about participating in the Awareness Fair at Carroll Community College may contact Disability Support Services Director Joyce Sebian at 410-386-8329 or e-mail email@example.com.

d. Scientific observations indicate that global climate has changed in the past, is changing now, and will change in the future. The magnitude and direction of this change is not the same at all locations on Earth.
This three-panel figure is an infographic showing how carbon and oxygen isotope ratios, temperature, and carbonate sediments have changed during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The figure caption provides sources to scientific articles from which this data was derived. A graphic visualization from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows the rapid decrease in carbon isotope ratios that is indicative of a large increase in the atmospheric greenhouse gases CO2 and CH4, which was coincident with approximately 5C of global warming.
In this activity, students critically evaluate the arguments about climate change raised in a climate contrarian newspaper op-ed. This exercise is intended to strengthen student critical thinking and content knowledge at the end of unit on the climate system.
This is the first of nine lessons in the "Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change" website. This lesson is an introduction to Earth's climate and covers key principles regarding Earth's unique climate, atmosphere, and regional and temporal climate differences.
This video features research conducted at University of Colorado's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, which studies isotopes of hydrogen trapped in ice cores to understand climate changes in the past.
For this lesson, the guiding Concept Question is: What is climate change and how does climate relate to greenhouse gas concentrations over time? This activity is the second lesson in a nine-lesson module 'Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change' produced by the International Year of Chemistry project (2011).
This is a global land surface air temperature graphic showing four overlapping time-series datasets based on records from 1961 - 2000.
In this lesson, students examine and interpret varied observational datasets and are asked to determine whether the data supports or does not support the statement: climate change is occurring in Colorado.
In this activity, students review techniques used by scientists, as they analyze a 50-year temperature time series dataset. The exercise helps students understand that data typically has considerable variability from year to year and to predict trends or forecast the future, there is value in long-term data collection.
This is a classroom activity about the forcing mechanisms for the most recent cold period: the Little Ice Age (1350-1850). Students receive data about tree ring records, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions during this time period. By comparing and contrasting time intervals when tree growth was at a minimum, solar activity was low, and major volcanic eruptions occurred, they draw conclusions about possible natural causes of climate change and identify factors that may indicate climate change.
In this activity, students create graphs of real temperature data to analyze climate trends by analyzing the global temperature record from 1867 to the present. Long-term trends and shorter-term fluctuations are both evaluated. The data is examined for evidence of the impact of natural and anthropogenic climate forcing mechanisms on the global surface temperature variability. Students are prompted to determine the difficulties scientists face in using this data to make climate predictions.

I'm not sure if a nine-year gaming streak is something to be celebrated, but I'm still here playing... and maybe I'll take this week to revisit raids and dungeons long-forgotten, for laughs more than for loot. But what about you, readers? How are you marking WoW's 9th year?

Wedding Brunch in Brooklyn?
Hi Serious Eaters -
Thought this might be the best place to ask as I havent had much luck so far. I am having my wedding in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and am looking for a place to have a day after brunch for my out of town guests (probably 50-75 people) the next day. Williamsburg would probably be the ideal location but am open to other areas of Brooklyn/Downtown Manhattan. Something that we could rent out a room would be great. Hoping you guys might have some good ideas- thanks for your advice!

A Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputy is recovering Monday morning after being hit by a car at around 9 p.m. Sunday.
Deputies told KOB that they were investigating a crash at Bridge and La Vega SW when a car drove through the scene and hit the deputy.
That's when the deputies said they heard several gunshots.
Deputies are unsure of who fired the shots, and as of Monday morning, we don't know whether anyone was hit by bullets.
The injured deputy was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay.
Stay with KOB for updates.

Luminescence by MikkoLagerstedtWatch
Daily DeviationGiven 2013-12-24
Also suggested by BokehLight
Luminescence by *Latyrx ( Suggested by lapis-lazuri and Featured by Anoya )
Best of December 2013Hello
Here is collection of photos, i chose as the BEST OF DECEMBER 2013.
All photos are from Photos of 2013 and 2014.
GIVE SOME to the Artists
I honestly find it hard to believe that this is a photograph as opposed to a REALLY good digital painting… Quite simply, I've never seen the incredible beauty of outer space as depicted here, being only lucky to catch a few stars in the sky from time to time.
(Although I did see the Big Dipper in the sky one time I was in Fairbanks, but that pales in comparison.)
Where on Earth, if you actually were there, did you take such a glorious shot?
Anyway, allow me to say this is one brilliant photograph and a real showcase as to how wonderful this planet is. A well-deserved Daily Deviation at any rate too; congratulations and hope to see more like this!
Have a beautiful day and Happy Holidays

Syrian Activists Protest, But Not Over Anti-Islam Video
Originally published on Fri September 21, 2012 6:53 pm
For the past year and a half, every Friday in Syria has been given a name. That's because every Friday, people protest against the government, and those protests get a title. This week's title? "Syrian sons and daughters of the Prophet Mohammed are being slaughtered." In other words: "To all you Muslims who are angry about the denigration of the Prophet Mohammed in some YouTube film? Don't forget about us."

Express 48 and 60 as a product of their prime factors
2 Answers | Add Yours
48 as a product of its prime factors is 2^4. 3 (or 188.8.131.52.3)
60 as a product of its prime factors is 2^2.3.5 (or 18.104.22.168)
Remember prime factors are those numbers that can only be divided by themselves and 1; for example, 3 can only be divided by 3 and by 1. You won't find 3 as an answer in any other times table.
So do a mini division sum whenever you have to find prime factors and start with the smallest number that goes into the number you are looking for prime factors for....so for example try 2 and if that won't work (because it's an odd number ), try 3. If 3 won't work try 5 or 7 or 11 ,13,17,19,23,and so on remembering not to use a number that appears in any other times table except its own!
Good luck.
48 and 60 have to be expressed as a product of their prime factors.
Write each of the numbers as a product of a prime and another number starting with the smallest prime number 2 and moving to larger prime numbers.
48 = 2*24
= 2*3*8
= 2*3*2^3
= 2^4*3
60 = 2*30
= 2*3*10
= 2*3*2*5
= 2^2*3*5
The prime factorization of 48 is 2^4*3 and for 60 it is 2^2*3*5

AT & T boots up beta site for online videos
AT&T has joined the ranks of video providers that are offering TV shows and movies online.
"We have started a soft launch of a new site called AT&T Entertainment," an AT&T spokesman said via e-mail. "This site will feature free online content available to any consumer. We're finalizing a few final elements, and we'll share more details on our official launch soon."
Last week, Verizon and Time Warner Cable announced they were taking part in Time Warner's TV Everywhere project, while DirecTV is reportedly interested in doing its own version, as well. Comcast finished up its trial with Time Warner, which it calls On Demand Online, last month and could be adding to the 5,000 trial participants.
The AT&T Web portal features content that is free to anyone who accesses the site, as well as additional content for its own subscribers. TV shows include NBC's "The Office" and "30 Rock," as well as CBS' "How I Met Your Mother."
Some shows, such as "My Name is Earl," have links to the same programs on Hulu's Web site. Hulu is jointly owned by NBC Universal, News Corp and, as of earlier this year, Walt Disney. To date, Hulu hasn't had access to CBS' shows, but AT&T has CBS listed as one of the networks on its new Web portal. CBS is also taking part in Time Warner Cable's and Comcast's online services.
In addition to CBS, AT&T also lists USA, CNBC, Bravo and Syfy – all of which are owned by NBCU – ABC, ABC Family, PBS, Universal and MGM among the content providers for its Web portal.

By GERALD MCKINSTRY, JOSEPH SPECTOR
Gannett Albany Bureau
MAMARONECK _ David Malpass, a former deputy under two Republican presidents, has entered what has become a revolving door of candidates for U.S. Senate and he says he's ready to change the culture of Washington.
Malpass, 54, on Wednesday announced a run against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, pledging to promote job growth and tax cuts while curbing Washington's historic "spending spree."
His entry comes as other potential GOP candidate, former Gov. George Pataki, said he will not run against Gillibrand. Pataki had not been expected to challenge the Democratic senator, and said he will instead start a political action group to fight the federal health-care law passed last month.
Pataki, polls showed, was the strongest potential Republican challenger to Gillibrand, who was appointed to the position in January 2009 by Gov. David Paterson.
Without Pataki, a number of GOP candidates are seeking the party's nod to run against Gillibrand.
Former Congressman Joe DioGuardi of Ossining, Westchester County, and former Long Island lawmaker Bruce Blakeman are also running, while Rockland County Executive Scott Vanderhoef and Orange County Executive Edward Diana are considering a run.
But Malpass, an economist, said he has the best experience to run on the GOP line. He was joined at his announcement by businessman and former presidential candidate Steve Forbes and John Faso, a former gubernatorial candidate.
Malpass is expected to tour the state in the coming days.
"We have an economy that faces severe challenges. Many of those challenges come from Washington," said Malpass, who was joined by his wife and four children during an announcement at Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck, Westchester County, and in Manhattan. "The focus right now has to be on stopping the tax increases."
Because Gillibrand was lockstep with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid, both Democrats, it was important that new leadership change the tax-and-spend culture of Washington, he said. Cutting earmarks, entitlement programs and stimulus funds would be a good place to start, he said.
Malpass, once a chief economist at Bear Stearns is now president of Encima Global, an economic research firm based in New York. He is a columnist for Forbes Magazine and contributor to the Wall Street Journal.
He served as deputy assistant secretary of treasury under President Ronald Reagan and was a deputy assistant secretary of state under President George H. W. Bush.
The Gillibrand campaign responded to what it called "partisan attacks from the latest Republican to enter the race" by blaming Malpass for his role in the economy's fallout. "As chief global economist for Bears Stearns, David Malpass not only helped cause the financial collapse, he made millions and left taxpayers holding the bill," Gillibrand spokesman Glen Caplin said. Her office also announced Gillibrand had raised more than $8.75 million since being sworn in more than a year ago, including $1.6 million during the first three months of this year.
Malpass has put $1 million of his own money into the race. DioGuardi pumped $931,000 into his own campaign, a spokesman said Wednesday, after he raised more than $1 million. DioGuardi had $974,233 in his campaign coffers.

Just as it seemed Obamacare couldn't look much worse, a new study explains how it will quickly create a chasm between young and old.
The study, by the National Center for Public Policy Research, shows how The Great Divider's health care overhaul will divide the old and young by depriving millions of young people the subsidies they were promised. In denuding younger Americans their subsidies, Obamacare will discourage them from buying insurance and undermine the economic viability of the program.

Product description
Alexandra Fuller was the daughter of white settlers in 1970s war-torn Rhodesia. Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight is a memoir of that time, when a schoolgirl was as likely to carry a shotgun as a satchel. Fuller tells a story of civil war; of a quixotic battle against nature and loss; and of her family's unbreakable bond with a continent which came to define, shape, scar and heal them. In wry and sometimes hilarious prose, she looks back with rage and love at an extraordinary family and an extraordinary time. Like Frank McCourt, Fuller writes with devastating humour and directness about desperate circumstances ...tender, remarkable' Daily Telegraph A book that deserves to be read for generations' Guardian Perceptive, generous, political, tragic, funny, stamped through with a passionate love for Africa ...[Fuller] has a faultless hotline to her six-year-old self' Independent This enchanting book is destined to become a classic of Africa and of childhood' Sunday Times Wonderful book ...a vibrantly personal account of growing up in a family every bit as exotic as the continent which seduced it ...the Fuller family itself [is] delivered to the reader with a mixture of toughness and heart which renders its characters unforgettable' Scotsman Her prose is fierce, unsentimental, sometimes puzzled, and disconcertingly honest . ..it is Fuller's clear vision, even of the most unpalatable facts, that gives her book its strength. It deserves to find a place alongside Olive Schreiner, Karen Blixen and Doris Lessing' Sunday Telegraph

Author information
Alexandra Fuller was born in Berkshire in 1969. In 1971 she moved with her family to Zimbabwe and then to Malawi and Zambia. She now livesin Wyoming with her husband and two children. Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight is her first book.
Review quote
'Like Frank McCourt, Fuller writes with devastating humour and directness about desperate circumstances.' Daily Telegraph
Editorial reviews
Alexander Fuller was born during a brief sojourn in England before her parents returned to Africa with her and her elder sister. They settled on a farm in the Rhodesia of Ian Smith's Unilateral Declaration of Independence. From the age of two she learned to cope with snakes, scorpions and spiders and to defend herself against anti-white, anti-government marauders. We learn of how her parents cope with the loss of her elder brother through illness and the strain of keeping the family safe. Against the backdrop of the BBC's World Service 'Lillibulero', joyously drunken belligerence by Mum and occasionally Dad, Alexandra and her sister adjust to everything with childish acceptance. With the collapse of UDI, Rhodesia becomes Zimbabwe and the family farm is seized by the government and sold. This forces them to move into remote and wild country where a baby sister dies by drowning and another brother at birth. At times almost penniless, her indomitable parents try to make a living against incredible odds. Her mother suffers a nervous breakdown but manages to overcome her personal tragedies with gallantry and humour. Alexandra's father signs a two-year contract to be the manager of the Mgodi Estates for President for Life of Malawi, Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda, who remains in power by murdering his opponents. Tiring of mail censorship, a government spy foisted on them at their expense and the general precariousness of their lives, the family move to a farm in Zambia, whose President, Kenneth Kuanda, won by a landslide at every election at which he was the only candidate. The Fullers bring the farm from dereliction to profitability during the adolescence of their two daughters. This book is an excellent summary of the political events of the time, and much more beside. It depicts all the humour and pathos of family life against the practical, sometimes life and death, choices they face in their difficult life. Fuller's prose sparkles as she brings to life the heat, the smells and the taste of Africa, and she paints an endearing picture of her childish candour, innocence and worldliness. Observant, flippant, concerned, compassionate, this is a narrative touched with magic. (Kirkus UK)

Labeled probes should, for the most part, be handled in the same fashion as other custom oligonucleotide sequences. We recommend resuspending probes in TE buffer. Nuclease‑free water can be used, although it can limit shelf life. Ideally, for each resuspended probe, a stock is created and aliquots are frozen. We recommend storage at –20°C as we have seen the best results from our stability studies at this temperature. In addition, while fluorescently-labeled sequences do not necessarily need to be stored in amber tubes, you want to avoid potential sources of UV light. This is best done by not leaving the oligonucleotides out on a bench top when not in use. Labeled probes stored at –20°C in TE buffer or as lyophilized pellets should be stable for up to 24 months.


text: Excerpt: Even though he's just 15, Kevin Durr of Garmisch, Germany, is well on his way to realizing his goal of becoming a professional soccer player. "Preferably in England or Germany," said the 5-foot-4, 125-pounder center midfielder, "but Major League Soccer would be fine, too." Durr, son of Marshall Center staff member Peter Durr, isn't just harboring daydreams. He is the only non-German on the under-15 squad for one of soccer's most exalted organizations, 20-time German champion Bayern Munich. Link: http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=123&article=37835 Seems his older brother Stefan, a well-regarded player in his own right, has moved clubs as well: Since it's more than 50 miles, and more than an hour's driving time from autobahn-challenged Munich to the family home in Garmisch, travel time became a serious issue for the Durr family. Kevin's older brother, Stefan, 17, was playing for another team, based in a different Munich suburb from Bayern, until transportation became too complicated. "The logistics of having both boys play at different times in different places in Munich was just too much," said Peter Durr, the boys' father who was Army attaché in Bonn for four years before being assigned to Garmisch. He said those problems plus the burden of the rigorous international baccalaureate program the brothers pursue at MIS led the family to limit Stefan's soccer to the school team and playing for the local club, FC Garmisch. Stefan responded by making the International Schools' All-Europe team, arousing interest from U.S. college coaches and maintaining his family superiority over Kevin. Kevin:

(843) A Poem about water.
The water flows
steady and constant
the water knows it's direction
Never to be lost
around bends and over rocks
forward towards a destination
that large open body of water,
waiting to bring it in
The water flows
with life and glory
to a distant place
yet all together
in harmony, the water flows.

Travel Guide Africa Malawi
© All Rights Reserved tylerwein
Though landlocked in the heart of Africa, Malawi has been blessed with a generous splash of water in the form of Lake Malawi, which encompasses over a fifth of the country's area and stretches from beyond the northern tip to about two thirds of the way south. Maybe it's the lake, but something makes Malawi a refreshing destination. Sure, the country has had its share of hard times - thirty years under the harsh rule of Hastings Banda, for example - and is mired in characteristic African poverty, but the people are hearty and welcoming and their land is a tourist's playground. Predictably, water sports are popular, whether you want to stick your head under the water or you'd prefer gearing up for some windsurfing, sailing or water skiing. But the country's varied geography provides ample opportunity for the photographer in you: tall mountain peaks, sometimes stretching above the cloud line, make for absolutely stunning scenery.
The area of Africa now known as Malawi had a very small population of hunter gatherers before waves of Bantus began emigrating from the north around the 10th century. Although most of the Bantus continued south, some remained permanently and founded tribes based on common ancestry.
David Livingstone reached Lake Malawi (then Lake Nyasa) in 1859, and Malawi was originally known as Nyasaland under the rule of the British. In 1944, the Nyasaland African Congress (NAC) was formed by the Africans of Nyasaland to promote local interests to the British government. In 1953, Britain linked Nyasaland with Northern and Southern Rhodesia in what was known as the Central African Federation (CAF), for mainly political reasons.
In 1961, Banda's Malawi Congress Party (MCP) gained the majority in the Legislative Counsel and Banda was elected prime minister in 1963. The Federation was dissolved in 1963, and on July 6, 1964, Nyasaland became independent from British rule and renamed itself Malawi. Under a new constitution, Malawi became a single-party state under MCP rule and Banda declared himself president-for-life in 1970. Despite his political severity, however, Malawi's economy while Banda was president was often cited as an example of how a poor, landlocked, heavily populated, mineral-poor country could achieve progress in both agriculture and industrial development.
Under pressure for increased political freedom, Banda agreed to a referendum in 1993, where the populace voted for a multiparty democracy. Following the elections, in late 1993, a presidential council was formed, the life presidency was abolished and a new constitution was put into place, effectively ending the MCP's rule. In 1994 the first multi-party elections were held in Malawi, and Bakili Muluzi became president. Muluzi remained president until 2004, when Dr. Bingu wa Mutharika was elected. Although the political environment is described as "challenging", as of 2009, the multi-party system still exists in Malawi. Multiparty parliamentary and presidential elections were held for the fourth time in Malawi in May 2009, and President Bingu wa Mutharika was successfully re-elected, despite charges of election fraud from his rival.
Malawi is a landlocked country in southeastern Africa, bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast and Mozambique to the south, southwest and southeast. It lies between latitudes 9° and 18°S, and longitudes 32° and 36°E. The Great Rift Valley runs through the country from north to south, and to the east of the valley lies Lake Malawi (also called Lake Nyasa), making up over three-quarters of Malawi's eastern boundary. Lake Malawi is sometimes called the Calendar Lake as it is about 587 kilometres long and 84 kilometres wide. The Shire River flows from the south end of the lake and joins the Zambezi River 400 kilometres farther south in Mozambique. The surface of Lake Malawi is located at 457 metres above sea level, with a maximum depth of 700 metres, which means the lake bottom is over 200 metres below sea level at some points. In the mountainous sections of Malawi surrounding the Rift Valley, plateaus rise generally 914 to 1,219 metres above sea level, although some rise as high as 2,438 metres in the north. To the south of Lake Malawi lie the Shire Highlands, gently rolling land at approximately 914 metres above sea level. In this area, the Zomba and Mulanje mountain peaks rise to respective heights of 2,134 metres and 3,048 metres.
What Malawi lacks on great national parks teeming with wildlife, it more than makes up for it with friendly people and first of all: Lake Malawi. There are however a few parks which are especially awarding just because there is not so much wildlife and tourist numbers are not as high as other parks with small traffic jams.

Lake Malawi is one of the largest lakes in Africa and is even in the top 10 of the world. It is also known as Lake Nyasa and is the southernmost lake of the Great African Rift Valley. It is one of the best places in the world apart from the open sea/oceans to snorkel and dive. The lake is teeming with tropical fish and there are several towns along the lake's coastline that are great to stay with lots of hostels and nightlife. The southern portion is called Lake Malawi National Park and is one the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Many travellers will stay at least for days, if not weeks on end. Although part of the lake is located in Mozambique as well, most travellers will visit the lake in Malawi, with better infrastructure and accommodation.
Nyika National Park is the first, largest and highest national park in Malawi. It was established in 1965 and is located in the north of the country on an average altitude of about 1800 meters above sea level. The park is over 3200 square kilometers big and apart from seeing wildlife is a good place to go trekking, mountain biking or even horse riding. Wildlife includes elephant, buffalo, lion and one of the highest concentrations of leopard in this region.

Although Liwonde National Park is not quite as full of wildlife as the other parks, it has a wonderfully peaceful quality to it. Set in a lush marshland, the Shire River is full of hippoes, and there are plenty of waterbucks and other smaller antilopes grazing. A canoe trip on the river is a relaxing experience, and the views over the river beautiful. To get there, take a bus to the town of Liwonde, and get off at the bus station (last stop) from there, you can walk or take a bicycle taxi to the park entrance, about 5 kilometres away. At the gate, you pay for the park entry, and ring ahead to your chosen guest house for a pick-up- walking alone is not permitted.
Situated not far from Blantyre, the star of this reserve is Mount Mulanje itself, a multi-peaked massif rising up to 3,000 metres from the surrounding plain. Though the massif contains a variety of endemic bird, reptile, and tree species, its popularity can be traced more to its hiking opportunities, supported by a network of mountain huts offering cooking and sleeping facilities.

The lake of stars is an annual, huge (at least by African standards) festival lasting three days in central Malawi, close to a popular tourist centre, Nkhata Bay. The actual festival takes place in Chintheche, a small town about 1.5 hours south of Nkhata Bay. The dates aren't set, and change slightly each year. Usually though the festival is held during early September. The festival attracts both big, international names, as well as local artists. It is advisable to book accommodation well in advance.
Much of Malawi enjoys a tropical climate with hot and humid weather year round. There are however some differences within the country that are mostly related to the altitude of places. The capital Lilongwe for example is relatively cool with temperatures in the cooler June to September period just around 23 °C during the day and just around 10 °C at night. Other places are warmer in general but as most of the country is on a relatively high altitude it is not as hot as many other surrounding countries, although during the hotter months of October and November temperatures can still get well above 30 °C during the day. May to October is the dry season and from December to April the rainy season, with most rain falling from January to March.
Air Malawi is the national airline of Malawi and has its base at Chileka International Airport (BLZ) in the southern city of Blantyre. Destinations to and from there include Dar es Salaam, Harare, Johannesburg, Lilongwe, Lusaka and Nairobi. South African Airways flies to and from Johannesburg.
From Lilongwe International Airport (LLW) near the capital there are flights to and from Harare, Johannesburg, Lusaka and Nairobi with Air Malawi. Air Zimbabwe flies to and from Dar Es Salaam, Dubai, Harare and London. Addis Ababa, Nairobi and Johannesburg are served with their respective national airlines.
It's easy to get to Malawi with your own wheels and border crossings with Zambia, Mozambique and Tanzania are relatively straightforward, though have your papers and insurance in order. You can use most border crossings decribed below at the public transport section. Roads are generally in a relatively good shape on the main routes that is.
Buses connect the southern city of Blantyre with both Harare in Zimbabwe and Tete in Mozambique, stopping en route in the latter one. There are even buses from Blantyre all the way to Johannesburg, with several companies (City to City, Ingwe, Vaal Africa and Translux) making the trip on a daily basis. It takes about 26 to 30 hours and you can also stop in Harare or Tete.
From Lilongwe there are buses all the way to Lusaka in Zambia, as well as to and from Dar es Salaam several times a week. To Dar es Salaam, buses also stop in Mzuzu in northern Malawi and Mbeya in southern Tanzania.
For Zambia, you can also travel in stages by taking a minibus from Lilongwe to Mchinji and a shared taxi from there to the border. Once you've crossed over the border to Zambia, there are shared taxis waiting- it's about a thirty minute ride, costing around K15,000 to town.
From Chipata, buses usually depart early in the morning to Lusaka.
There are possibilities to get to Tete in Mozambique in stages by taking several bush taxis and minibuses towards the border and onwards across the border to Tete. Anotehr border crossing is between Chiponde in Malawi and Mandimba in Mozambique. From here, there is at least one truck daily between to Cuamba and daily vehicles to Lichinga as well.
The train journey from Malawi to Nampula in Mozambique is one of the few remaining great train journeys in Africa. The scenery is stunning, the track passes between towering inselbergs and in 2nd class its comfortable enough with waiter service, reserved seating and the option to reach out the window to buy from people with baskets of food at the many stations. It runs in each direction on alternate days except Monday: Nampula to Cuamba on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and Cuamba to Nampula on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. 3rd class costs M175, second class M331, and there's no first class. The train departs at 05:00 every day (except Monday) and takes 10-12 hours. You need to book the day before. The journey is from Cuamba to Nampula (all within Mozambique) meaning that you have to make the border crossing to/from Malawi by local chappa and bicycle and thats lengthy.
There are ferries between southwestern Tanzania and Mozambique via Malawi on the MV Songea between Mbamba Bay and Nkhata Bay. From here it goes on to Likoma Island (Malawi), Cóbuè and Metangula (both in Mozambique) on the MV Ilala. The MV Ilala departs from Monkey Bay (Malawi) at 10:00am Friday, arriving in Metangula (via Chipoka and Nkhotakota in Malawi) at 6:00am Saturday, reaching Cóbuè (Mozambique) around midday, Likoma Island at 1:30pm and Nkhata Bay at 1:00am Sunday morning. In southern direction departures are at 8pm Monday from Nkhata Bay and at 6:30am Tuesday from Likoma Island, reaching Cóbuè at 7:00am and Metangula at midday.
Air Malawi has scheduled flights between Lilongwe, Mzuzu and Blantyre and Club Makokola on the southern shores of Lake Malawi. Jakamaka Air Charters offers chartered flights to several specific tourist destinations including the Nyika and Liwonde National Parks and Likoma Island, but are relatively expensive if you are not with a group.
Central East African Railways operates the train lines in the country. The main line runs north from Blantyre to Balaka and south from Limbe to Nsanje although some parts are still not recovered from the floods years ago. Passenger trains to and from Lilongwe don't exist. Trains are slow and crowded and most tourist use buses instead. Unless you are a train ethusiast of course.
The road network in Malawi is in a surprisingly good shape and main roads are tarred, albeit potholed in some places. Many other roads are all weather gravel roads. During recent years, more and more companies offer rental cars and Lilongwe and Blantyre are the best places to arrange on (both downtown as well as on the international airports). Traffic drives on the left and you need an international driving permit.
There are several bus companies offering daily links between the major cities. Shire Bus Lines has the most buses, including both express services as well as buses which include more stops. It takes around 5 hours from Lilongwe to Blantyre, 7 hours from the capital to Mzuzu in the north of Malawi.
The Ilala passenger ferry travels up and down Lake Malawi between Monkey Bay and Chilumba, stopping at many towns and villages in between, including several on the Mozambique side of the lake and Likoma Island.

See also Money Matters
The Malawian kwatcha fluctuates regularly, so it is advisable to check rates before exchanging money. ATM's are only located in larger towns. The ATM's are also frequently out of money (especially on a Sunday), and only distribute small amounts per transaction. Some hostels and vendors will accept US dollars, and there are plenty of places in Lilongwe and other larger towns which will exchange your cash.
Food in Malawi is much of the same as in rest of Southern Africa - the staple food is maize porridge, nshima, eaten with vegetables or, if you can afford it, meat. Bread is commonly eaten for breakfast. In northern part of the country, you can find chapatti as a part of the tanzanian influence. In Lilongwe, there are plenty of fast food outlets, as well as some surprisingly good Italian food. Chicken and chips is a popular dish especially for young people when eating out.
See also Travel Health
There are no vaccinations legally required to travel to Malawi. There are two exceptions though. You have to have a cholera stamp (prove of the fact that you don't have that desease) when entering Malawi overland. And you need a yellow fever vaccination if you have travelled to a country (7 days or less before entering Malawi) where that disease is widely prevalent.
Still, it's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to Malawi. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also both hepatitis A as well as typhoid would be recommended.
If you are staying longer than 3 months or have a particular risk (travelling by bike, handling of animals, visits to caves) you might consider a rabies vaccination. Vaccination against Tuberculosis as well as hepatitis B are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months. When staying longer than 6 months, vaccination against meningitis might be recommended, depending on your contact with other people.
Like most African countries south of the Sahara, Malaria is prevalent in the country. Don't underestimate this tropical disease and take precautions. Buy repellent (preferably with 50% DEET), and sleep under a net.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS. Also note that Southern Africa and thus Malawi as well has a high percentage of people with AIDS.
See also Travel Safety
Although Malawi is reasonably safe, pickpocketing in (especially) buses does happen; also, take extra care in the busy market area. Taxis are generally safe. Apparently the stretch of road from Lilongwe bus station to city centre is often targeted by pickpockets.

Raised in Middlesex County, Va., Liz lived for many years in Bena and Gloucester Point, Va., before moving to Flagler Beach, Fla., to be with her beloved nephew, Steve Irby and his wife, Irene. In 2005, she moved to Macon to be near her daughter, Sandra.
She is survived by her son, Kenneth Irby of Powhatan, Va.; daughter, Sandra Thomas (Tom) of Macon; sister, Anne Crockett; brothers, Richard Parker (Grace) and Larry Parker (Joyce); and Jacki Saccucci of Titusville, Fla., whom she loved as another daughter. Additionally, she is survived by her grandchildren, Jay Collins of Las Vegas, Nev., Tiffany Collins of Macon and Kimberly Irby of Vancouver, Wash., and by her four great-grandchildren, Jesse, Journee and Christian Collins and Gracie Willis.
A faithful Christian, Liz was a loving wife, mother, grandmother ("Bannie"), great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many. She will be missed more than words can express. As an organ donor, she will live on by helping others in need. To those who wish to pay tribute to Liz, she would have been happy for them to simply offer a kind word or deed to someone in need. By doing so, the world will be a better place, and Liz's memory will live forever.

RAF Middle Wallop, USAAF Station 449
RAF Middle Wallop opened in May 1940 and was used by No.15 SFTS before construction was complete. During the Battle of Britain, the airfield was attacked several times with many casualties inflicted and a hangar and aircraft being destroyed. The runways were grass with a concrete perimeter track and in 1942 two Sommerfield track steel mats were installed.
In November 1943 Middle Wallop became the HQ of USAAF IX Fighter Command when the site became USAAF Station 449. Middle Wallop returned to Royal Air Force use in July 1944.
Today the airfield is home to the Museum of Army Flying, and it has been home to the School of Army Aviation since 1954.

Act.F/Lt. Stuart Crosby Walch Blue Flight 238 Squadron (d.11th Aug 1944)
Stuart Crosby Walch, was born on 16 Aug 1917 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, to parents Percival Bell Crosby Walch and Florence Esther Jane Pigdon, he was the youngest of three children and the only male. (His youngest sister, Brenda Jane Clelland Walch, served as a driver in the Women's Australian Air Force.) Stuart was educated at The Hutchins School, Hobart, between 1927 and 1934, winning the Head of the River cup in Launceston in 1934. Following his leaving school, Stuart obtained employment at the Family business, J Walch & Sons, which had been established by his great-great-grandfather, James William Henry Walch in 1846.
He left there in 1936, and enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force, at Point Cook, Victoria, and in 1937 transferring to the Royal Air Force. On 26 August of the same year, he was "granted a short service commission as Pilot Officer for five years on the active list," (Gazetted: 10 September 1937). In July 1940 he was serving with 238 Squadron at Middle Wallop as a Flight Lieutenant.
He was involved in a number of sorties. The first, for which I can find an action report was on the 11 July, 1940, what is now considered to be the second day of The Battle of Britain: "B" Flight detailed to patrol Warmwell 1140hrs Diverted to Portland at 1155hrs. E/A reported over Portland at 4,000'. Saw A/A fire about 5000'. At this time my flight was 10000' I ordered A/C line astern. Climbed towards combat taking place ahead (south) & above about 3 mls distant. One ME. 110 observed diving towards ship off P.Bill at 10000'. I ordered Green Section to stay above in case of escort fighters. Blue 1, 2 & 3 attacked in order. E/A turned towards me & I fired 2/3 sec bursts from o/h (range about 300-200yds) Again attacked after pt 3 from beam closing to line astern (?)fire. 250yds and closed to 50yds. E/A straightening out. White and black smoke coming from (?) engine. E/A has black X's on fus & m/planes & was of black colour on upper surface under surface not observed. Confirmed by Bl 2 & 3."
The next action report, located, is for 20 July: " Blue Section 238 Squadron were ordered to patrol convoy 15 miles South East of Portland. We arrived over convoy at 1220 hours flying at about 8,000ft. At 1300hrs. at a height of 6,000ft. having lost my 2 & 3 and having twice investigated aircraft which turned out to be Hurricanes, I had turned on my reserve tank and decided to return to base. I flew towards Swanage climbing to 8,000ft and at about 5 miles from Swanage I observed 15 aircraft flying in formation towards the convoy on N. course at approx. 12,000ft. I was too far away to identify A/C but from the direction they were taking presumed they were hostile. I endeavoured to contact Ground Station to find out if the relief section was on its way but received no reply. I turned and headed for convoy climbing to get into sun. When about 5 miles from convoy I saw bombs explode around escorting destroyer. I pulled the plug and went after the E/A which had turned Southwards. When I got to the S.E. side of convoy at 10,000ft I saw three ME109's flying in wide VIC at about 9,000ft. I dived and attacked the port machine, opened fire at 200yds quarter closing to astern at approx. 50 yards. 2 two second bursts were fired. Black smoke poured from under the engine of the E/A and he turned right and made vertical dive towards sea. I did not follow as the other aircraft were trying to get astern of me. I pulled up in a steep stall turn and made for home as petrol was very low. Visibility perfect – no cloud. Rounds fired approximately 800."
The next day he was back in action: "Blue Section ordered to patrol Portland at 15.15 at 12,000 feet, vectored 100° at 15.40. When approaching the Needles saw convoy being attacked by 15 Me. 110's/ These a/c were flying from the Northern side. I put my section in line astern and gave the order to Blue 2 & 3 to select a target each and to attack independently. I dived down from 12,000feet to 8,00feet following the last aircraft in the enemy formation, which was now flying away from the convoy south east, apparently returning to France. I closed to about 500 yards before I was sighted. The formation then went into a righthand turn, aircraft still in line astern. The aircraft I was following swung out on the turn and was on the outside of the circle. I opened fire at 250 yards closing to 50. No.2 attacked the enemy aircraft on my right. The aircraft I attacked tightened his turn and dived towards the sea, I broke off the attack and the starboard engine of the enemy aircraft was emitting black and white smoke.
I lost sight of the enemy aircraft in the dive. As I pulled away in a left hand turn. A few seconds later I saw and Me.1? flying at sea level. It went straight for about a mile then dived straight into the sea. I cannot say whether this was the enemy aircraft which I attacked or the one which Blue 2 attacked. I then saw three Me 109's in line astern formation coming towards me on the beam at about 10,000feet. They did not attack me but turned away in a S.E. direction and dived. I started to follow but saw an aircraft I thought to be an Me. 109 flying at sea level towards the convoy. I broke off following the 3 Me. 109 and dived to attack the aircraft which I had just seen. On getting within range it turned out to be Blue 2. By the time I had climbed up to 10,000 feet again all hostile aircraft had disappeared."
The next available report is for 26 July: "I was Blue Leader. Squadron ordered to patrol Swanage at 10,000feet. Time up 1142, down 1230. I arrived on patrol flying at 10,000feet with section on left of C.O. (Green Section). Squadron received order that bandits S.W. of Portland at 12,000feet. I saw 3 ME.109's about 25-30miles S of Portland at about 14,000feet. I put Section in line astern and climbed behind. 2 ME.109's in Vic. formation and one loose on right. I took loose one and fired one short burst (1 sec.) from a shallow quarter deflection. ME. Half rolled then dived vertically down, then went into spin and broke up, the wings dropping off and fuselage going into sea.
Both Blue 2 P/O Considine and Yellow 1 Sgt Marsh confirmed.
I found further reference to Stuart being involved in action, on 8th August, on the website: forum.12oclockhigh.net, in an excerpt from the privately published memoirs of Squadron Leader 'Jimmy' Fenton:
"On the 8th, as usual, we were at readiness at first light. After breakfast, my adjutant Noel David, fetched me to the office for a rare spell of administration. As soon as I left dispersal, the Squadron was scrambled - led by Stuart Walch, and went into action over a shipping convoy a few miles south of the Isle of White intercepting a big raid." On 11 August, 1940, at about 1030 hours, 5 raids totalling approximately 200 aircraft approached Portland and Weymouth Bay on a 20 mile front and of these about 150 crossed the coast and caused considerable damage to Portland. The attack was made both from high level and by dive bombers. These raids were met by 7 fighter squadrons which shot down 23 (plus 22 unconfirmed) enemy aircraft against our losses of 16. Of these 16 losses one was Stuart, who was originally posted as being 'Missing in Action' but later as 'killed in action', he was shotdown whilst flying a Hurricane Mk I (R4097) off Weymouth.
His 'presumed' death was announced in The Mercury on 21 May 1941: "Death presumed of Acting Flight-Lieut Stuart Walch, formerly of Hobart, who had been reported missing as the result of air operations against the enemy over the English Channel on August 10 last year, has been announced. Acting Flight-Lieut. Walch was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Walch, of Hobart. He was educated at the Hutchins School, where he was prominent in sport, particularly football and cricket. He was a member of the Hutchins School crew which won the Head-of-the-River race at Launceston in 1934, and participated also in tennis and athletics. After leaving the Hutchins School he continued his sporting activities as a member of the Old Boys' football and cricket teams until he left the State in 1936 to join the Royal Australian Air Force. He transferred to the Royal Air Force in 1937.
Acting Flight-Lieut Walch had a brilliant record of achievement with the R.A.F., as an instructor and pilot. For the greater part of his service in England he was stationed with No. 151 Fighter Squadron at North Weald, in Essex, and after the outbreak of war saw service in several other stations. He was regarded as being particularly skilful and fearless at night flying. He was the first member of his squadron to fly a Hurricane fighter, and was highly regarded by his senior officers."
He is remembered on Panel 5 of the Runneymede Memorial.Mark Moore
LAC. John Daniel Burch
I am trying to trace the service history of my father, John Burch. He told me he was stationed at Middleton, Middle Wallop and St Athen, and he was a fitter, principally working on Spits, Hurricanes, and Defiants. He told me that he was LAC II (I think) when he left. I think his stay at Middleton which, may have been towards the end of World War 2, before he was moved to Norway to help with the mopping up exercises, because I have just found a photo of him in uniform taken at the age of 38 and printed by a shop in Skegness.Dan Burch
S/Sgt. George Lesmes 12th Tactical Reconaissance Squadron
My grandfather, George Lesmes, served in the USAAF Staff Seargent in the 12th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron linked to 67th TRS Group and stationed here in the UK during 1942-1944. He was based at various bases throughout England during this time; Membury from Sept 1942, Aldermaston, Chilbolton, Middle Wallop left 1944 for France. I was wondering if anyone has any photographs?Nigel O'Hanlon
LAC John Daniel Burch
My father, John Burch told me he was stationed at Middleton St George, Middle Wallop and St Athen, and he was a fitter, principally working on Spits, Hurricanes, and Defiants.

Surface 2 with 4G LTE connectivity is already available in the US, for $679 for the 64GB version. If you're based in the UK, and feeling left out, Microsoft has started taking pre-orders of the LTE version of the tablet for £539, with an expected shipping date of May 8th -- it's one month away, but at least we know it's definitely coming.
The price is for the 64GB version of the Surface 2 and interested users can pre-order their device from Microsoft Store. The tablet rocks a 10.6-inch 1080p display, and is powered by a quad-core Tegra 4 chipset clocked at 1.7GHz, with 2GB of RAM. On the storage side, it comes with 64GB storage with a microSD card slot. If you feel it's not enough, customers who will purchase the Surface 2 LTE also get 200GB free OneDrive storage for two years. It doesn't end there, as users also get unlimited Skype minutes and WiFi for one year. On top of it, it comes with Windows 8.1 RT as its operating system.
The tablet doesn't offer a full scale Windows experience as the Surface Pro 2, but it's still a pretty decent option for users who want internet access and Office on the go. Head over to the Microsoft Store and pre-order the LTE Surface 2.

What do you think of the Fisher book? I'm about 100 pages in and I like it- but I'm a tad bored. I like those little books from Wiley (Greenblat: Beats the Market and Browne: Value Investing) better.

K. Michelle Spotted Cuddling With A Female
What in the world is that father thinking? He looks stressed.
As we all know from watching Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, K. Michelle hasn't had the best of luck with men this year so she's been broadening her horizons and experimenting with dating girls. This past weekend, she was spotted flirting and cuddling with an unidentified female in a pool while a nearby family watched in amusement.
Earlier this year, she told Power 105.1FM's Breakfast Club Morning Show:
I thought I was gay for three months [but…] I realized what you men go through. The b—h jumped on my car. I had a new car and she jumped on my car, scratched it up with her shoe and it was a wrap. She wanted to be an actress, but she was always sitting on the couch. I was actually taking care of stuff and paying bills. I was like, "Oh no I'm not used to this. I'm not gay no more.
I like how women look. I like certain things about a woman but at the end of the day, I realized that I'm not dealing with all that bulls–t y'all go through.
Let's see how this all plays out, if it makes it to TV.
After this season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, K. Michelle will shake things up when she joins the next season of Love & Hip Hop New York.

Goal Announcement T-Shirt
If you stare at the picture really hard you'll notice the model is wearing a pretty cool soccer t-shirt. To quote the shirt, it says "Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaa .etc". If you visit the Busted Tees site, you'll see a guy wearing the shirt too. That makes it both cool and unisex. Let's hear if for cool sarcastic soccer shirts! The official color of the shirt is grass, which I approve of. If the official color was turf, then the shirt would suck and the guy scoring the goal on the shirt would blow out his MCL. But they've got it right. $20.

Let's begin.
1. Call Senator Harry Reid at 202-224-3542.
Senator Reid gets it. He said that clean energy and climate legislation 'may be the most important policy we ever pass.' He is going to be facing a TON of pressure to compromise, and accept half-measures. He needs to know that you have his back on passing a comprehensive bill to bolster clean energy and address climate change.
2. Join the Campaign to Stop the Dirty Energy Proposition.
California passed a bill back in 2006 that would bring its greenhouse gas emissions back to 1990 levels by 2020. It is easily the most aggressive climate law in the country, and it could pave the way for other states and other nations to follow suit – BUT Valero, Tesoro, and other big oil interests are trying to pull an Enron and dupe the people of California into passing a proposition that would stop the whole thing.
Whether you are in California or not, sign up and lend a hand.
3. Join the Campaign to Stop the Dirty Energy Proposition on Facebook.
Yep, join them on Facebook too. I can't emphasize how critical this will be for the country. If California, the 8th largest economy in the world can get a handle on its emissions (not to mention reap the HUGE benefits that will come with the 2 million jobs and billion in investments that are already starting to show up there), it will show the rest of the world, that it can be done, and that doing it will make us all better-off.
4. Join the boycott of big oil companies who meddle in state politics.
Write Valero, an email, and let them know you will be boycotting them until they keep their dirty money out of state politics.
5. Share this blog on your Facebook and Twitter.
Lets face it, this stuff only works if we are aggressive about increasing the numbers of people who take actions like these. If you want to get credit yourself, I hereby give you permission to post this blog under your name.
Let's get serious about doing all we can for our planet now. Thanks for reading and thanks for getting in action!

County investigators and a forensic anthropologist were trying Saturday to discover the identity of skeletal remains found Friday near the West Ashley Greenway.
Deputies were called to the greenway near the First Assembly of God church off Savannah Highway at about 6:15 p.m. Friday, said Major Jim Brady of the Charleston County Sheriffs Office.
Two men told deputies that they were walking in the area when they found a skull on some leaves, according to an incident report. Other remains were about 50 yards away. Investigators also discovered headstones in the area, including some dating back to the mid-1800s. A dirty, dark, windbreaker jacket also was found near the remains.
So far authorities have been able to determine only that the remains are of a white male, said Brittney Martin, Charleston County deputy coroner. She said a forensic anthropologist is working with investigators to come up with other clues.
Authorities don't know how the bones got there or how long they were at the site, Brady said, adding that it was too early in the investigation to say whether the remains are related to any unsolved crimes and other open investigations. The West Ashley Greenway is a popular path stretching from South Windemere to Johns Island.

When we asked Duncor about it on Saturday, he said one of the things he wants to ask is whether Sunwell is progressively harder than Black Temple and Hyjal or if it's equal to those, and though Blizzard has said Sunwell is meant to be the hardest raid instance (the end of Burning Crusade's endgame, basically), I'm interested to hear that answer. And I also would like to hear some discussion on a question suggested by The_Milkcat in that thread, about the difference between world first kills on the PTR and on the live realms.
So it should be a good interview. Throw your suggested questions in the forum thread if you have them, and make sure to tune in to WoW Radio on this Friday, March 7th, at 7pm EST to hear Duncor and Cadwallion chat with Vis Maior.

Posted by NYCGrubber on May 14, 2013 in everything, gluten free grubbing | 0 comments
Mother's Day would not be complete without a cheesy Hallmark card, a bouquet of flowers and a brunch reservation.
This year, instead of having my mom haul into the city, we bravely bus'ed it to the garden state (aka New Jersey) and made our way to Raymond's in Montclair.
Raymond's does not take reservation so I was a little skeptical of having a long wait to be seated, especially since my Saturday night hangover was starting to set in.
Maybe because it was Jersey or maybe because everyone else decided to make a reservation elsewhere - our wait was only about 20 minutes. Ample time for a gift exchange with mom and some photo ops with the fam.
Now the only thing we had to wait on was my indecisive sister picking out what she wanted to eat (standard procedure).
But alas, brunch was served:
You could get this gluten-free by substituting the potato cake for home fries or something else.
Few times are veggie burgers actually gluten-free, so when I found out this one was – it was a must order (sans bun of course). Kind of a gooey texture, but it tasted good.
For the cheeseburger, you can obviously go GF without the bun. For the fries; you are dealing with cross contamination (oil). Eat at your own risk. Also, ask for it medium rare if you want it medium (my sister's burger was overcooked twice).
Your best bet at Raymond's? Probably the hot chocolate – it looked amazing, and they have Mexican spiced and white chocolate versions:
In typical grubber fashion, I skipped the hot cocoa and went straight for the homemade marshmallows (strawberry please). Um, yum…
I try not to eat marshmallows (gelatin disgusts me) but I just had to try it. And it was pretty damn good.
We ended up making it back into the city in record time. Since the weather was too nice to be indoors, and since my sister & I seem to have never ending stomachs, we made our way over to Madison Square Eats for some ilili brussels sprouts and Macaron Parlour macarons before heading home [find the photos on my instagram feed: NYC_Grubber].
Overall, a Mother's Day well spent (& fed).
Rating: B
Pros: The drinks; hot chocolate, cappuccinos etc.
