Coast Guard murder trial continues today
The trial of three former Guyana Defence Force Coast Guard ranks, charged with the murder of a young Bartica gold dealer, will continue today at the Suddie High Court in Essequibo before Justice Franklyn Holder.
The trial, which began almost two weeks ago, is now hearing a second voir dire (trial within a trial) to determine the admissibility of caution statements allegedly made by the number two accused, Delon Gordon.
The three accused Sherwin Harte, Delon Gordon, and Deon Greenidge are charged with the August 2009 murder of Dweive Kant Ramdass which took place at Caiman Hole, East Bank, Essequibo. The three accused are being represented by Attorney at Law Peter Hugh.
Kaieteur News was told that several witnesses are expected to give evidence in the voir dire for Devon Gordon today. On the last occasion Gordon's sister Vanda Adolphus had given evidence, along with three police ranks.
The former army ranks were manning the Coast Guard RC 12 motor boat in the Essequibo River, when they allegedly confronted Ramdass in a boat at the Parika Stelling.
They allegedly forced him into their boat and took him to another location in the river where they relieved him of $17M in cash which he was carrying in a box to Bartica for his employer, who operated a gold and diamond business in the city.
The prosecution is trying to prove that the three former soldiers strangled Ramdass, took the money he was carrying and threw his body overboard in the vicinity of Bonasika Creek. They will argue that after murdering Ramdass, the three accused returned to the Parika Stelling, where one of their female accomplices was waiting for them.
She is the sister of one of the officers and was reportedly given $5.7M in cash to hold. Prosecutor Judith Gildharie-Mursalin is representing the state.
According to reports, another portion of the money was recovered by the police during a roadblock exercise. The men were committed to stand trial in the High Court in 2011, by Magistrate Nyasha Williams-Hatmin following an 18-month Preliminary Inquiry at the Vreed en Hoop Magistrate's Court.
Attorney at Law Khemraj Ramjattan, who was assigned to the matter as Special Prosecutor, had led a total of 14 witnesses to give evidence. The witnesses included persons who saw when the Coast Guard ranks took Ramdass out of the boat, and when they returned to the boat without him, but with a canister that he was carrying.

As beer gets more sophisticated, tap handles become little pieces of artwork — thanks to Renton-based Taphandles Inc., one of the country's largest producers.
Here in the Northwest, we're high-end drinkers with sophisticated palates, and we know: Picking our beers based on their tap handles is like choosing our wines by their labels or blind dates by their Internet photos — and we are soooo beyond that!
So at Seattle's Duck Island Ale House, bar manager Jeremiah Harrison is always ready to prop a menu of the bar's 24 available taps in front of his customers. Still, some just gaze past him and say, "Nah, just let me look at the taps."
What? Does the tap handle tell you anything about what the beer tastes like? Or what's in it? What the alcohol content is?
'Course not. Just the same, there's a reason Duck Island's ceiling is chandeliered with hundreds of used tap handles. As microbrews have exploded nationwide, so too has the competition for draft position behind the bar, making tap-handle design one more category in the draft-beer pageant to fret about. "You have to now, if you want to stand out," says Charlie Hutchinson, bar manager of Seattle's 74th Street Ale House.

The result? Tap handles shaped like, or crafted from, just about anything you can imagine — pirates, animals, musical instruments, you name it. Though most are made from wood or plastic, there's also driftwood (Pacific Rim Brewing Co.'s Driftwood Ale), a Barbie doll (Skagit Valley's Dutch Girl Lager), even a garden hose faucet (Sunrye Ale, of Woodinville's Red Hook Brewing Co.).
"You can really take this off and wash your car with it," Harrison says of Sunrye's faucet, as if he knows of what he speaks. "It's the real deal."
Behold, a new form of art is born
The familiar beer pulls you see when you walk into a bar weren't always part of the package. But as a result of a little post-Prohibition chicanery, laws required taverns to fully identify what they were pouring. Originally, according to All About Beer magazine, the markers were "ball knobs" two or three inches tall.
But as beer has evolved to connoisseur status, so have the pulls. One handle for Rogue's Dead Guy Ale (Newport, Ore.) is a skeleton hoisting a frosty mug. Mukilteo-based Diamond Knot Brewery's handles are wooden levers encircled by thin strands of rope. And the competition-winning design of Lost Coast Brewery's Great White Beer, from Eureka, Calif., features a rascally shark munching on a surfboard.
Harrison can't help but love the pirate-shaped Piraat (a Belgian India Pale Ale-style beer), but he's also partial to the sleek goose-head handles of Chicago-based Goose Island Brewery and the golden Kremlin atop the handle of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout (North Coast Brewing Co., Fort Bragg, Calif.). Another favorite, the silver figurine of now-defunct Yakima-based brewer Bert Grant, has been relegated to batlike hibernation above the Duck Island bar.
Many come from Renton-based Taphandles Inc., one of the country's largest producers, which expects to ship half a million tap handles this year, mostly to American and Canadian brewers. It employs four designers at its Renton office who spend their days dreaming up designs to be made at its production facility in Guangdong province, China.
The company, which Paul Fichter launched in 1999, was behind Sunrye's garden-hose design. "I bought real hoses, fittings, and spray nozzles at McClendon's Hardware," Fichter says. "It was a very fun project."
Compelling handles sell more beer, he says. When his company crafted an orca-shaped tap handle for Alaskan Brewing's Summer Pale Ale, he says the beer exceeded sales projections. "The name of the beer was so small it was unreadable," Fichter says. "People just asked for 'the whale beer.' "
Elliott Ryan, bar manager at Latona Pub near Green Lake, says he's seen height increasingly wielded as a weapon in the tap handle wars. Whereas the typical tap handle averages six or seven inches, he says, some are now twice as high.
Trumer Brauerei's Trumer Pils, for instance, has a silver-rod handle crowned with a medallion, while Port Townsend's Water Street Brewing Co. is another alpha dog whose especially lengthy handle is made of handblown glass.
"It gets their beer in someone's mind before another beer," Ryan says.
At Chopstix, a piano bar on lower Queen Anne, the house special brew, Chopstix Amber Ale, has a handle topped by a baby grand piano. "As taps go, it's an eye-catcher," says bartender Chris Williams, flipping open the top and propping it up with a toothpick. "It does allow me to give out samples of it."
Among his favorites, Hutchinson of 74th Street Ale House counts the milk-bottle shaped tap handle of Seattle-based Hale's Cream Ale, as well as Pike Street Brewery's Tandem Double Ale, which evokes the style of a cue stick.
But the best, he thinks, are the European-style ceramic tap handles used by beers like Strongbow (England) or Harp (Ireland). He pulls one out and pats it like a billy club against his palm. No wimpy tap handles, those.
Many bar managers keep used tap handles in case the beer is brought back into rotation. They end up stored in milk crates shoved into cabinets or high on backroom shelves, and the Latona Pub's Ryan dreams of the day he'll create some sort of sculpture from the tap handles he's saved.
But some handles already qualify as art, with the name of the artist carved into the back. Harrison is currently featuring two beers — the Belgian Piraat and the British Babycham — with taps designed by the same artist.
Not everyone likes the artwork. "Some are so fancy you can't tell what they are," says Queen Anne's Jacqueline Stratton, a customer at Fremont's Dubliner who is partial to Mac & Jack's African Amber, produced in Redmond. "It's like — what the hell is that?"
OK, but does it need to light up?
Some bartenders also think brewers might be going overboard. One tap handle for Maudite, a Belgian strong dark ale brewed in Quebec with a logo featuring a smug-looking devil, actually lit up when pulled. Another brewer offered an illuminated, working clock. "That was a little excessive," says Ian Roberts of Brouwer's Cafe in Fremont. "But think about it — it was the one lit handle on the entire bar."
"Audacious works," says Wedgwood Ale House's Derek Arntz. "But also, simple works very well."
Some have figured out ways to be cost-effective, devising handles with interchangeable beer labels that fasten magnetically or with Velcro. And Taphandles offers those who want to spend a little more the option to buy handles made of bamboo, a sustainable material that can be harvested multiple times. "It's been a bit interesting because we get to see who really means their environmental hype," Fichter says.
Not everyone can devote resources to such accoutrements. Take Baron Brewing, based near Seattle's South Park neighborhood, whose pilsner tap handles are tiny chain-wearing paddles of respectability. "Little guys like Baron, they're just trying to make it as a brewery," Duck Island's Harrison says. "I know the owner probably cut all the stickers out by hand and put those little chains on by hand while watching TV at home."
"Any attention-grabbing you can do is good," says Latona's Ryan. "But if your beer's no good, nobody's gonna give you a second look."

With the exception of the pool, this park is very rundown and in desperate need of maintenance and repair. Roads and sites are in poor condition. The owners show little interest in the upkeep of the park and would sell out given an interested buyer. We were the only short term visitor. All others were seasonal and apparently long term occupants. - skigoldsboro

We DID NOT stay here. We were looking for a place south of the Catskills that had open sites for satellite reception, and was reasonably priced (if you have Passport America, half price Sun-Thu). We just didn't like the looks of the place. It was run down and just looked junky as you pull up. Admittedly the playground looks nice and the pool looked clean. Once you drive past the office, the paved road turns into a rough gravel road that is almost just a two-track. Seems to be a lot of seasonal sites. - Big Rig Full Timer

SONOMA COUNTY -- In an effort closely watched by school, government and nonprofit groups around the state, the Sonoma County Water Agency is working to launch a first-in-California bond financing program that will allow millions of dollars in energy efficiency upgrades to schools and other public facilities at a time of intense budgetary rationing.
[caption id="attachment_62921" align="alignright" width="360"] Amy Bolten, Jennifer Bruneman, Jamie King[/caption]
Known as Sonoma County Energy Financing, the program requires participating energy service companies to underwrite any predicted savings to energy costs before beginning a facility upgrade. The approach guarantees that school districts and governments will have a predictable pool of money for servicing a related municipal bond, avoiding any out-of-pocket expense for new equipment or improvements while creating immediate savings though lower maintenance costs.
Though the precise cost savings possible in Sonoma County are not yet known, planners point to the groundbreaking "Sustainable Energy Utility" that pioneered the approach in the state of Delaware. Since launching in 2007, the program has generated $73 million in guaranteed, low-interest financing for facility upgrades, $145 million in long-term savings and more than 900 construction and engineering jobs.
Many of the leaders in the Delaware program have been enlisted to help launch what planners call a "scaled-down" version in Sonoma County. More than 10 school districts representing nearly 100 schools have expressed interest, with room for further additions that could include public buildings under various management and nonprofit facilities like hospitals, according to the water agency.
"A lot of our facilities have newer construction, but that doesn't mean that those facilities can't be updated," said Jennifer Bruneman, director of maintenance and operations for the 23-campus Santa Rosa City Schools. The district has expressed interest in the program. "It's a dual-purpose need -- getting old equipment that's not working so well off of our sites, as well as saving money on our PG&E bill."
Work to develop the financing structure began last October, a collaboration between the water agency and the nonprofit Foundation for Renewable Energy & Environment. Born from founders of the Delaware program, the foundation brought with it much of the contractual framework necessary to implement a similar program in Sonoma County and a list of national energy service companies willing to financially guarantee their work.
"We wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel," said Amy Bolten, a spokeswoman for the water agency's Energy Resources Group and coordinator of the financing program. The proposal has been lauded by regional contractors, and "while our direct contracts will be with national companies, the vast majority of our work will be with local guys."
By combining a large volume of work into a single financing mechanism, Ms. Bolten said that organizers hope to reach a critical mass favored in municipal bonding. Current estimates range from $30 to $50 million, with an issuance expected in May and construction in early June.

Press Release 09-125 Scientists Create First Comprehensive Computer Model of Sunspots
First model of entire sunspots shows striking, beautiful detail
The interface between a sunspot's central and outer regions shows a complex structure.
Credit and Larger Version
June 18, 2009
In a breakthrough that will help scientists unlock mysteries of the sun and its impacts on Earth, scientists have created the first-ever comprehensive computer model of sunspots. The resulting visuals capture both scientific detail and remarkable beauty. The results are published this week in a paper in Science Express. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The high-resolution simulations of sunspots open the way for scientists to learn more about the vast mysterious dark patches on the sun's surface, first studied by Galileo. Sunspots are associated with massive ejections of charged plasma that can cause geomagnetic storms and disrupt communications and navigational systems. They are also linked to variations in solar output that can affect weather on Earth and exert a subtle influence on climate patterns.
"Understanding complexities in the solar magnetic field is key to 'space weather' forecasting," says Richard Behnke of NSF's Division of Atmospheric Sciences. "If we can model sunspots, we may be able to predict them and be better prepared for the potential serious consequences here on Earth of these violent storms on the sun."
Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., collaborated with colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany, building on a computer code that had been created at the University of Chicago.
"This is the first time we have a model of an entire sunspot," says lead paper author Matthias Rempel, a scientist at NCAR's High Altitude Observatory. "If you want to understand all the drivers of Earth's atmospheric system, you have to understand how sunspots emerge and evolve. Our simulations will advance research into the inner workings of the sun as well as connections between solar output and Earth's atmosphere."
Ever since outward flows from the center of sunspots were discovered 100 years ago, scientists have worked to explain the complex structure of sunspots, whose number peaks and wanes during the 11-year solar cycle. Sunspots accompany intense magnetic activity that is associated with solar flares and massive ejections of plasma that can buffet Earth's atmosphere. The resulting damage to power grids, satellites and other sensitive technological systems takes an economic toll on a rising number of industries.
Creating such detailed simulations would not have been possible even as recently as a few years ago, before the latest generation of supercomputers and a growing array of instruments to observe the sun. The new computer models capture pairs of sunspots with opposite polarity. In striking detail, they reveal the dark central region, or umbra, with brighter umbral dots, as well as webs of elongated narrow filaments with flows of mass streaming away from the spots in the outer penumbral regions. They also capture the convective flow and movement of energy that underlie the sunspots, and which are not directly detectable by instruments.
The models suggest that the magnetic fields within sunspots need to be inclined in certain directions in order to create such complex structures. The authors conclude that there is a unified physical explanation for the structure of sunspots in umbra and penumbra that's the consequence of convection in a magnetic field with varying properties.
The simulations can help scientists decipher the mysterious, subsurface forces in the sun that cause sunspots. Such work may lead to an improved understanding of variations in solar output and their impacts on Earth.
To create the simulations, the research team designed a virtual, three- dimensional domain measuring about 31,000 miles by 62,000 miles, and about 3,700 miles in depth--an expanse as long as eight times Earth's diameter, and as deep as Earth's radius.
The scientists then used a series of equations involving fundamental physical laws of energy transfer, fluid dynamics, magnetic induction and feedback, and other phenomena to simulate sunspot dynamics at 1.8 billion grid points within the domain, each spaced about 10 to 20 miles apart.
They solved the equations on NCAR's new bluefire supercomputer, an IBM machine that can perform 76 trillion calculations per second. The work drew on increasingly detailed observations from a network of ground- and space-based instruments to verify that the model captured sunspots realistically. The new models are far more detailed and realistic than previous simulations that failed to capture the complexities of the outer penumbral region.
The researchers noted, however, that even their new model does not accurately capture the lengths of the filaments in parts of the penumbra. They can refine the model by placing the grid points closer together, but that would require more computing power than is currently available.
"Advances in supercomputing power are enabling us to close in on some of the most fundamental processes of the sun," says Michael Knölker, director of NCAR's High Altitude Observatory and a co-author of the paper. "With this breakthrough simulation, an overall comprehensive physical picture is emerging for everything that observers have associated with the appearance, formation, dynamics, and the decay of sunspots on the sun's surface."

June 1967 A. R. RITCHIE ETAL 3,324,723
INDICATING DEVICES FOR HEAT TREATMENT Filed March 4, 1965 United States Patent 3,324,723 INDICATING DEVICES FOR HEAT TREATMENT Alan Rutherford Ritchie, Billericay, Essex, and Kenneth Holiand, Upminster, Essex, England, assignors to Macarthys Limited Filed Mar. 4, 1965, Ser. No. 437,147 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Mar. 9, 1964, 9,809/64 5 Claims. (Cl. 73-358) This invention relates to visual indicating devices for heat treatment, particularly to visual indicators for inclusion with articles, for example surgical dressings, which are to be subjected to heat treatment for a period of time, such as in an oven or in a steam autoclave, to indicate the adequate completion of the heating process.
When an autoclave or oven is packed with articles to be heated, particularly when such articles pack closely together, it is difiicult to ascertain that all parts of the load are maintained at the required temperature for the necessary length of time to ensure adequate treatment of all articles.
British Patent No. 889,573 describes an indicator, suitable for use as a visual sterilisation indicator, separate indicator being attached to or packed with each article or load to be sterilised. The device described in the complete specification of that patent comprises an envelope having first and second compartments, a wick extending from the first compartment into the second, the first compartment containing a coloured indicator which liquifies at about the critical temperature for sterilisation and flows along the wick, so that maintenance of the critical temperature for the necessary time is indicated by the indicator reaching a marked position along the length of the wick.
A particular embodiment there described was intended to indicate sterilisation conditions at a temperature of 120 C. held for a period of 30 minutes.
The present invention provides an improved visual indicator, of the same general form as that described in British Patent No. 889,573, and one that is, in particular embodiments, suitable for sterilisation conditions at a temperature of 134 C., held for a period of 3 minutes. Other time/temperature relationship may be accommodated by suitable selection of materials.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an indicator for heat treatment comprising a wick or like porous member having attached thereto a bead of coloured or dye-containing indicating substance which is solid at room temperature but melts substantially at a critical temperature to be indicated, within the range of 80 C. to 300 C.
Preferably, the Wick is backed by a heat-conducting material. A metal foil is a suitable material for this purpose.
Conveniently, the wick is dipped into the liquid indicating substance so that a drop of the substance adheres to the wick, the drop being quickly dried or cooled to form the bead, before the liquid indicator has time to creep along the wick to any significant extent. Alternatively, a drop or tablet of the material is otherwise positioned on the wick.
In order that the coloured indicating substance does not mark dressings or the like, with which the indicator is used, it is advantageous to enclose the indicator in a transparent or translucent envelope of plastic material or in a glass tube.
As indicating substance, it is preferred to use a 2:4- dinitro phenylhydrazone, the substance being selfcoloured and selected to have a melting point appropriate to the conditions to be indicated.
3,324,723 Patented June 13, 1967 ice In order that the invention may readily be carried into practical effect, one embodiment will now be described in detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIGURE 1 is an enlarged diagrammatic plan view of a visual indicating device according to the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic median cross-section of the indicating device of FIGURE 1, the scale of the thickness of the indicating device being further increased to show the construction thereof and FIGURE 3 is a diagrammatic plan view of the visual indicating device of FIGURE 1 in a transparent plastic envelope showing its appearance after use.
The example now to be described, with reference to the accompanying drawings, is intended as a visual sterilisation indicator to indicate that it, and the article with which it is associated, have undergone sterilisation conditions at a temperature of 134 C. lasting for 3 minutes.
The wick 1, see particularly FIGURES 1 and 2, is of filter paper, backed with thin aluminum foil 2, see FIG- URE 2. The Wicks are cut from a sheet, of the backed paper, each about 1% inch length and about 0.2 inch width. The sheet is previously printed, or otherwise marked, with a transverse line which provides a calibration mark 6 for each wick 1 cut from the sheet.
The dimensions of the Wick are of little importance, other than that the length is related to the diffusion rate of the indicating substance chosen and to the period for which the indicated temperature is maintained. The dimensions given above show the conveniently small size of the device, however.
One end of the wick 1 is dipped in a small bath of a molten 2:4-dinitro phenylhydrazone which melts in dry heat at 141143 C. The increased melting point is necessary because of the eifect of steam on the compound. The wick 1 is removed with a drop 3 of the 2:4-dinitro phenylhydrazone attached. The drop 3 is allowed to solidify so that the drop 3 adheres to the wick 1 in similar manner to a match-head. By quickly forming and solidifying the drop 3 of indicating substance, creep of the indicating substance and hence the discolouration of the wick is confined initially to a small portion of the wick represented by the shaded portion 3'.
The wick 1 is then enclosed in a transparent envelope 4 of thermoplastic material, about 2 inches in length and about inch width, as shown in FIGURE 2.
The open end of the thermoplastic envelope 4 is then sealed, as shown at 5 in FIGURE 3.
The bead of indicating substance shows in the unused indicating device, as a discolouration of about to inch of the wick at one end.
When subjected to a temperature of 134 C. in a steam autoclave, the indicating substance melts and diffuses along the wick, the extended length of discolouration showing the length of time the temperature of 134 C. or higher is maintained. After 3 minutes, the indicating substance has difiused about a further inch along the wick, and has reached the calibration mark 6, as shown in FIGURE 3.
With an indicating device according to the invention, by choice of the melting temperature of the 2:4-dinitro phenylhydrazone, or alternative dye containing substance to be used, and by choice of the wick porosity and length, heat treatment conditions can adequately be indicated within the temperature range of C. to 300 C. and within the time range from 10 seconds to 2 hours approximately. The melting temperature of the indicating substance and the wick length are determined empirically for the required indicating condition and, in relation to the dry heat melting temperature of the indicating substance, it is to be noted that in the example above, using 2:4-
dinitro phenylhydrazone, the dry heat melting temperature is 79 C. above the steam heat temperature it is required to indicate.
As an alternative to using an envelope, as described above, having three closed sides, the fourth being closed in manufacture, an envelope may be formed from two flat sheets of thermoplastic material, all four sides being closed under compression in a single operation.
In a further alternative, the envelope is divided into two intercommunicating compartments by a partial seal along the length of the Wick, near the end of the drop 3 of indicating substance. This partial seal comprises two sealed regions, as shown at 7, 7 in FIGURE 3, extending from the opposite sides of the envelope 4 towards the wick 1, but not sealing across the Wick.
Without this seal, in certain circumstances and if the drop 3 of indicating substance is in excess of requirement for creeping along the wick, the substance may spread inside the envelope.
What we claim is:
1. An indicating device for visually indicating a heat treatment, said device comprising a wick of pre-cletermined length, said wick including a heat-conducting layer and having a solidified drop of a fusible colored indicating material attached to and eveloping one end thereof, said material impregnating said one end of said wick I said indicating material is a 2:4-dinitro phenylhydrazone.
5. An indicating device according to claim 1 wherein said Wick includes a reference mark spaced from said drop.

1960 BMW Isetta 300 news, pictures, specifications, and information
Chassis Num:
Sold for $22,000 at
2009 RM Auctions
The Isetta was the work of a Milan based refrigerator manufacturer, Renzo Rivolta, who produced the car for only a coupe of years - beginning in 1953 - and endured disappointing sales. Later, the rights were sold to BMW who would make it one of the most successful Microcars of all time.
The BMW Isetta was produced in numerous countries including Spain, Belgium, Germany, France, Brazil, and Britain. It was a two-seater coupe 'Bubble Car' that offered modest room for luggage. A three-wheeled version was popular in the United Kingdom as it was not levied an automobile tax; it was considered a three-wheeled motorcycle.
This Isetta is a late-model European 300 sliding-window example. It has a single-cylinder overhead motor that displaced 298 cubic-inches and produces 13 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and drum brakes in both front and rear.
In 2008, the car was offered for sale at the Hilton Head Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by the Worldwide Auctioneers. It was estimated to sell for $15,000 - $25,000. Bidding failed to reach the vehicles reserve and the lot was left unsold.
In 2009, this BMW Isetta was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. It was expected to sell for $20,000 - $30,000 and offered without reserve. It sold for a high bid of $22,000, including buyer's premium.

2010 RM Auctions
This BMW Isetta 300 is powered by a 289cc overhead valve air-cooled engine offering 13 horsepower. It has a four-speed manual gearbox and drum brakes. It rests on a 59.1-inch platform and fitted with a front leading arm suspension with coil springs plus a rigid axle in the rear with quarter-elliptic leaf springs.
The 770 pound has a top speed in excess of 50 mph with fuel economy in the 40 to 45 mpg range. It is only seven feet, nine inches long and four-and-a-half feet wide.
The BMW Isetta made its debut at the 1955 Frankfurt Auto Show alongside the BMW 505 Pullman Limousine.
This car was part of the O'Quinn Collection and acquired in 2006. It is finished in navy blue with a green plaid interior and a rubber floor mat, and a grey vinyl top and interior paneling.
In 2010, the car was offered for sale at the 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' event presented by RM Auctions at Amelia Island, Florida. The car was estimated to sell for $15,000 - $25,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $30,250, including buyer's premium.

At a time when cheap, short-distance transportation was incredibly preferred by consumers, BMW introduced the Isetta in November of 1953 at Turin. One of the most successful microcars that were produced in the post-WWII years, the egg-shaped Isetta's design originated in Italy. The Isetta received the nickname 'bubble car' because of its bubble-like windows and its egg shape. Other nicknames for the Isetta were 'das rollende Ei'; the rolling egg in Germany, along with the 'Sargwagen'; coffin car, 'yogurt pot' in France, 'huevito'; little egg in Chili and in Brazil, the 'bola de futebol de fenemê'; soccer ball of FNM.
The Iso Isetta originated from the Italian firm of Iso SpA, a company that originally began building compact three-wheeled trucks, motor scooters and refrigerators. In the early 1950s Renzo Rivolta, Iso's owner, chose to build small vehicles for mass consumption. Pierluigi Raggi and Ermenegildo Preti, the engineers behind the design, built the Isetta with a scooter engine. Isetta means little ISO in Italian. The designers came up with the design by taking two scooters, placing them close to each other and adding a refrigerator before shaping the result like 'a teardrop in the wind'.
Considered by some to be the best microcar of all time, the Isetta caused quite a stir when it was unveiled. More unique than anything out there at the time, the 'bubble car' was only 7.5 feet long and 4.5 feet wide. The entire front end of the vehicle hinged outwards to allow entry, along with an exit for passenger and driver through the canvas sunroof in the event of a crash. Making access to the single bench seat simpler, both the steering wheel and instrument panel swung out with the single door. There was enough room inside the vehicle for two passengers to sit comfortably, and behind the seat was a spare wheel hidden underneath a large parcel shelf. Ventilation was available by opening up the fabric sunroof, and a heater was optional.
The Isetta came with a 236 cc 9.5 hp two cylinder two-stroke motorcycle engine. Dynastart was a combination generator-starter, and a manual gearbox provided four forward speeds and reverse. The rear wheels were 10-inches, and a chain drive connected the gearbox to a solid rear axle.
The original prototype came with one wheel at the rear, but unfortunately this made the vehicle very susceptible to rolling over, so two rear wheels were places at the rear 19 inches away from each other. Since the track was so narrow, no differential was needed. The front axle was an updated variation of a Dubonnet independent front suspension.
The Iso Isetta achieved a top speed of 45 m ph, and could reach 30 mph in just over 30 seconds. The Isetta featured a small fuel tank that only held 3.5 gallons, and could get somewhere between 50-70 miles per gallon of gas.
Iso introduced two models, the Autocarro; a commercial version with full-width rear axle and the Turismo which had a narrow 50 cm rear track. The Autocarro came in a variety of body styles, an enclosed truck, a tilt-bed, a fire engine and a flatbed pickup. In Italy the Autocarro was immensely popular as that type of vehicle was utilized often.
Achieving an average speed of 43 mph, several Isettas were entered in the Mille Miglia in 1954. The Isetta took the top three spots in the economy classification, a distance more than 1,000 miles that the drivers achieved in more than 70 mph. Even though at first the Isetta was incredibly popular, it began to drop in popularity due to renewed competition from FIAT with its 500C model.
At this time, Rivolta wanted to spend his time and energy on his new Iso Rovolta sports vehicle, and also concentrate on doing license deals. During mid 1954, BMW started talking with Rivolta about not just a license, but in fact the complete Isetta body tooling. Licensing the Isette to BMW wasn't the last thing Rivolta did, he also negotiated similar deals with companies in Brazil and France.
In 1955 the production of Italian built cars ending after the construction of about 1,000 units. It is estimated that around 4,000 Autocarros were built, while Iso continued to build the Isetta in Spain until 1958.
The first car to be produced in Brazil, the Romi-Isetta was introduced on September 5th, 1956. A total of 3,000 units were introduced from the beginning of production until 1961. Iso licensed the Isetta to Romi, a machine-tool manufacturer in 1955. Romi is located in the city of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, in the State of São Paulo. The Iso design and engines remained ntil 1958 before they were replaced with the BMW 300 cc engines.
The Isetta's powerplant was redesigned by BMW. The powerplant was rebuilt around a BMW one-cylinder, four-stroke, 247 cc motorcycle engine that produced 13 hp. Most of the original elements of the Italian design stayed the same while BMW re-engineered much of the vehicle, so that none of the parts between and Iso Isetta and a BMW Isetta Moto Coupe are interchangeable. In April of 1955, the first BMW Isetta was unveiled. In the following eight months a around 10,000 'bubble cars' were produced.
BMW added the Isetta 250 to the lineup. Keeping the same 'bubble windows' as the original Isetta, this version was redesigned to carry a modified version of the 250 cc 4-stroke engine from the BMW R25/3 motorcycle and the front suspension was also updated. The 250 was two-tone colored and featured headlamps fixed separately to the sides of the bodywork.
The cylinder head was made up of aluminum while the crankcase and cylinder were constructed of cast iron. At 5800 rpm, the single-cylinder generated 12 hp. Compared with the motorcycle engine the head was rotated by 180 degrees. The twin-bearing crankshaft was also much larger and came with reinforced bearings due to the heavy Dynastart unit that combined the self-starter and the dynamo. BMW also enlarged the sump for installation in the vehicle and cooled the engine by a radial fan and shrouded ducting. The Isetta 250 had a top speed of 53 mph and in Germany could be driven with just a motorcycle license.
The Isetta Moto Coupe DeLuxe; or Isetta 300 was introduced in October of 1956. Considered to be the 'sliding-window' Isetta, as longer, sliding side windows replaced the famous bubble windows. The 300 featured an enlarged single cylinder to a 72 mm bore and 73 mm stroke which now achieved a displacement of exactly 298 cc. The compression ratio was already raised from 6.8 to 7.0:1. The engine now got 13 hp at 5200 rpm, while the torque jumped to 18.4 N•m at 4600 rpm. The top speed remained at 53 mph on the Isetta 300.
Produced with the intent to be an enlarged Isetta three-wheeler with even more power, along with a conventional four-wheel configuration, the BMW Isetta 600 was the largest of the BMW bubble vehicles. Though the front end of the 600 looked just like the regular Isetta, the wheelbase was stretched to allow room for four passengers comfortably. All-new semi-trailing arm independent suspension was introduced, while a conventional rear axle was also added. This was the same suspension that would be found on every new model for the next 40 years.
Featuring a much more powerful engine, the Isetta 600 came with a 582 cc twin engine from the R67 motorcycle, and could achieve a top speed of 64 mph. Only 34,000 Isetta 600's were produced in the two years of its lifespan, mainly because of the competition from the entry-level VW Beetle.
After 161,728 units had been built, in May of 1962, BMW ceased production of the Isetta.
An all new Isetta is scheduled to be released in 2010 and will be built on the same platform as the Fiat Topolino. The rear engined, rear wheel drive vehicle is expected to achieve 100 mph.

Hey guys, so this is just a quick update. I am going to be posting another post in the next 24 hours to keep the plot moving. My only concern is that almost none of you seem to have posted the
time I tried to further the plot. So, my question for all of you is: are all of you still keeping up with the roleplay?
Because if you aren't, please do the respectful thing and just post that you want to drop out. One thing I cant stand is when people just drop out without saying anything.
But, I hope all of you do stick it through and post soon!
EDIT: Ok, I just went through quickly and checked for activity on most of you, and it seems that Charzeon and CyBeastSaber have not logged on since the beginning of the month. So, we shall see...

Thierry Rautureau's Luc offers a late-night happy hour, complete with Rainier beer for $1.
Thierry Rautureau's cuisine is synonymous with fine dining in Seattle. But in his new brasserie, Luc, the "Chef in the Hat" aims for the casual and middlebrow, even offering a late-night happy hour.
There is trendy liqueur Fernet behind the bar and $1 Rainier beer specials, a sign that he wants to draw the young hipster set and the after-work crowd of bartenders and cooks.
Happy hour features a $4 bar menu, noshes that are deceptively more filling than they appear on the small plates, the best being the addictive potato souffle crisps — puffy, fried potato sticks with harrisa aioli.

The creamy smoked-salmon tartine, salty from the capers, peppery from the arugula, is another nice late-night addition. A smaller portion of the thick and fat lamb sausage entree is available on the happy-hour menu, too.
The sirloin skewers, though, were badly overcooked. And the creamy deviled-egg topping didn't make that tough beef go down any easier.
As bar snacking goes, Luc's is better than a lot of the late-night hangouts if you get the munchies. There is a good booze selection, too.
But Luc doesn't yet draw a young crowd. It's attracting a Rover's-like set, mostly in the 40-and-up bracket sipping wine by the glass, not downing Fernet shots and Rainier to end the night.
Luc, 2800 E. Madison St., offers happy hour from 10 p.m.-midnight Sundays-Thursdays with $4 small plates, $1 Rainier beer and $4 beer and wine (206-328-6645 or thechefinthehat.com/luc).

Toronto's Mayor Ford Wins Appeal to Remain in Office
By Ben Dummett
A Canadian court Friday rejected a lower-court decision ordering Mayor Rob Ford to vacate his post for violating municipal conflict-of-interest rules, a surprise decision that allows the controversial chief of the country's biggest city to remain in office.
A panel of judges of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice Divisional Court ruled the lower court "erred" in finding that Mr. Ford contravened the city's conflict-of-interest rules.
The court win provides him fresh ammunition to push forward his agenda ahead of the next election in October 2014. It also clarifies the political landscape in Toronto, Canada's largest city and its financial hub.
In November, the Ontario Superior Court ruled Mr. Ford breached the city's conflict-of-interest rules, and ordered him from office. A successful appeal had been seen by some legal experts as a long shot, and it was unclear how city hall would deal with Mr. Ford's unplanned departure. If Mr. Ford had lost the appeal, city council would have had to call a by-election or appoint a new mayor.
Mr. Ford's has faced a steady stream of attacks from opponents over a series of gaffes and political blunders since his election in 2010. Unpopular with many residents of Toronto's left-leaning downtown core, his promises of tax cuts and new subway lines resonated in the city's growing, and more conservative, suburbs. But he quickly clashed with council members and the city's transportation authority over transit plans, while losing other battles to close swimming pools and day-care facilities.
Mr. Ford made headlines last year when he called 911 after a comedian dressed as Xena the Warrior Princess tried to interview him in his driveway for a satirical television show. That same year, he admitted to driving while talking on a cell phone–an illegal act in Ontario. Police decided against pressing charges.

I guess it depends on how you define 'color'. In some studies and theses, color is only the six colors, but in other studies there are infinite variations of different colors varying off of the six in the spectrum.
For example, the color pink isn't in the spectrum, but it's still my favorite color.

Indigo is still a color. Pink isn't in the rainbow but it's a color. And Newton used seven to reference the seven intervals of an octave.
And anyway, people associate the rainbow's colors as ROY G BIV (or VIBGYOR) instead of the actual light spectrum which is really my point.
If you get technical about it, there are millions of colors in a rainbow because the angle light is reflected off of a raindrop is only one color, and it takes millions of drops to create a rainbow.
#145 - phazeout (07/05/2012) [-]
you are right about the octave though, the Greeks believed in a harmony between Muscal Notes, the solar system, and the 7 day week. Interestingly Christianity has adopted this belief in 7 being the number of heaven, 6 being the devil, and 5 being humanity and earth. Thats not really important to this tho is it?
#144 - phazeout (07/05/2012) [-]
the visible color spectrum is 6 colors. There are shades of those colors where they over lap or 'blend' when passing through different densities but those shades are all made up of some sort of mixture of the 6 basic colors. (or 7 if you think indigo should be a color)

Its a comic book reference. In Green Lantern, there is an emotional spectrum, with each emotion represented by a color. Compassion is represented by Indigo. I'd say its worth knowing because Green Lantern is a pretty amazing comic.
#169 - fatterthanu (07/06/2012) [-]
Yeah I use to think so too. I never read comic books. Then I was watching comic-con like 3 years ago, heard them talking about this event called Blackest Night, sounded interesting, read it, was mainly about Green Lantern. Saw how much of a bad ass he is and now he is my favorite hero. I would definately recomend all things Green Lantern...except the movie...don't watch it...seriously its bad...
#171 - fatterthanu (07/06/2012) [-]
Well the acting and voicing in it was actually amazing. The problem was that the writing and some of the animation was awful. Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern works very well. Too bad they're prolly rebooting it...

Answer to: How do you permanently erase photos from iPhone before selling?You can force-restore the phone with iTunes, this will delete all data on the phone. Plug the device into a computer with iTunes installed. Select the iPhone you want to erase in iTunes and click the "Restore iPhone" button. That will re-install iOS and erase all data from the device.
Answer to: Please help me identify this component?I'd be willing to bet that that component isn't what went bad in your machine. Before attempting a risky and difficult repair on a board that (for the most part) probably works, look into replacing the top case or repairing the keyboard. You shouldn't have too much difficulty popping the shift key off, just remember not to use excessive force, that's your worst enemy when working with these things. From there you can remove the key mechanism and clean things out. That may be all it takes. If that doesn't work, you can also replace the top case, iFixit sells it here and you could also probably find it from other vendors as well, probably without the same warranties though. As a side note, I've never worked on these machines but it may be possible to separate the keyboard from the top case and replace just that. It would definitely be cheaper but someone with more experience might be able to give some better insight than myself. It looks like just the keyboard assembly is available on eBay if you want to pursue...
Answer to: Beeping sound after upgrading RAM. The old RAM work fine.This is usually caused by defective RAM, according to Apple it means that the RAM did not pass an integrity check. It's possible that one of the sticks of ram you bought was defective and is causing this error. You can troubleshoot further by testing each module of new RAM at a time, if it boots with just one of the sticks, then you know which one is bad. Other than that, PC3-10600 is the correct type of memory for this computer so you didn't buy the wrong part, once you figure out which one is bad, try exchanging it for a new one from wherever you bought it.
Answer to: Getting a lot of BSODs and Kernel Panics in Windows and LinuxBlue screens can be caused by both software and hardware related issued. My guess is that you either have bad RAM (memtest won't always pick this up) or a bad hard drive. I don't believe that your GPU or software is the problem. Power supplies usually fail completely and not in the way you're describing. However, a 330W power supply isn't a whole lot, it might be okay for the specs you've described. However, you may be due for an upgrade. You can test your ram with memtest, or by removing and testing one module at a time and seeing if you get blue screens then. Your hard drives actually have a built in self-testing feature called "S.M.A.R.T.", the data produced by this can be viewed in programs such as CrystalDiskInfo. This program will display the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard drives and will tell you any problems with your disks. Did you build your PC or buy it from a manufacturer? If you bought it, can you please tell me the model number, this will help me look into the issue further.
Answer to: Truck wont stay runningI'm going to try and answer this with the best of my general car knowledge, unfortunately, I've never owned/fixed a Dodge Ram, but in my opinion if you can fix one car, you can fix them all. If you don't own a service manual for your car and want to troubleshoot this yourself, buy/borrow one, it's an incredibly valuable tool. If the engine was overhauled/rebuilt, then the problem it probably with the air intake, vacuum system, or exhaust system and not the engine itself. Is the check engine light on? Reading that with a code-scanner could give you valuable information about the problem. Some auto part stores will scan your car for free. If you have no check engine light, the problem probably lies with the 3 systems I listed, and you will need to troubleshoot this yourself or take it to a mechanic. First start with the vacuum system, as this is the easiest to troubleshoot. It's possible that a vacuum line may have been damaged during the engine overhaul. This video details the process pretty well. You can also...
Answer to: replaced display assembly won't slide to unlockFirst, open the phone up again and check and reseat all of the connections from the display/digitizer assembly. If this doesn't fix the problem, you may have received a defective part. This happens pretty often and the only course of action is to try and return the part to the seller in exchange for a new one. If you bought it on eBay or Amazon where parts are cheaper and of lower quality, it may be best to try to get a refund and order a new part from iFixit instead.
Answer to: MacBook Pro Early 2011 A1286 can not see the diskCan you clarify the problem that you're having? I believe that you own a MacBook Pro, not a PowerBook, based on age and model number. It sounds like your computer can't read either the hard disk or an inserted optical disk. If you're looking for a low-level reset, you would need to do a PRAM reset or an SMC reset.
Answer to: My Xbox One's fan is making this weird noiseIt's most likely the console's system fan. Since it seems to be a common problem, I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you're really concerned, there is a course of action that you can take. The first thing that I would recommend is lubricating it with a mineral oil, don't use WD40 for this. You'll need to disassemble the console to the point where you have access to the top of the motherboard, such as step 10 of this guide. I can't tell from the pictures, but it looks like you can remove the plastic fan assembly from the heatsink. Do that, and then use this procedure to lubricate the system fan. That should quiet the fan down and possibly extend it's life.
Answer to: My internal microphone dead after replacing hard diskI've read a few comments on different forums, such as this one, about the microphones in these computers, and I wouldn't be so sure that the issues are your fault. Microphone problems seem to be pretty common on these machines. Some can be solved by a reboot, PRAM reset, or even unplugging and reconnecting external speakers or other peripherals. Try the PRAM reset on the next one that you fix and see if that fixes it. You should be able to easily test the microphone in the audio settings menu.
Answer to: BB Z10 NAND Flash Memory Recovery / RemovalThe NAND flash most likely couldn't be swapped into another phone. I'm not a BlackBerry expert, but on most cell phones, parts of the flash memory that contain important system files are encrypted with keys unique to the phones that they came in. Installing the NAND flash in another phone would most likely cause even more problems. Do you have a MicroSD card in the phone? You can take that out, put it in a card reader, and access the files on it independently from the phone. If not, recovery might still be possible. The first thing to try would be booting the phone in safe mode (If you haven't already tried it, you just turn the phone on while holding the escape key) The next is a little more risky. I don't know how the BlackBerry filesystem works, but if you can plug the phone in and mount the internal storage on a computer, you could theoretically use a data recovery program such as FileScavenger to recover the files that have been damaged or deleted. This, however, would require that you restore the phone ...

Los Portales Group
Update on Los Portales GroupThe name of their municipality derives from the Chinanteca vocabulary 'Ocotl-cana' and 'de Tlan-junto a' or 'among', and it signifies 'together' or 'among the canes'. This is a sugar cane raising community by tradition.
In this locality a group called "Los Portales" was formed; it's composed of 4 very hard-working women dedicated to these activities: Ada and Teodora sell cosmetics from catalogs; Mirna and Jessica sell shoes from a catalog, and Jessica also purifies water.
Jessica is a very hard-working and charismatic person. She has 2 children, studied into preparatory school, and is married to Jorge Luis. Together they have established a water purification plant. With their earnings, they cover their household costs, transportation, maintenance of their work tools, and the salaries of their employees. At the same time, Jessica also sells shoes by catalog among her friends and fellow workers.
She is grateful to Kiva and Vision Fund Mexico for the opportunity to obtain this loan, which will be invested in 5-gallon jugs, tops, bands, and labels, supplies that they lack in the purifying plant. The number of their customers has increased, which is very favorable and satisfactory.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Karpathian Whore
Where the moonlight disturbs
I could see in dusk
My footsteps marked on the floor
Covered by dust
It glows in shades of blue
In the beams of full moon
It glows in shades of blue
In the beams of full moon
I saw her in the dark
Her teeth throwing sparks
Her body threw no shadow on the wall
She kneeled above me, savage beast
UntilI felt a movement of her body upon me
She arched her neck and licked her lips
Red tongue, as it licked her white shiny teeth
Make love with me until the end of life

The Monroe Doctrine
Can't You Hear Me Callin'--Bluegrass: 80 Years Of American Music
Largely because the early years of blues and jazz can't be accessed through recordings, the origins of those bedrock forms will forever be somewhat cloudy and open to debate. In contrast, the genesis of bluegrass music can be rather precisely pinpointed. True, the genre had a long gestation period, as is demonstrated on disc one of Columbia's rich, somewhat frustrating four-CD boxed setCan't You Hear Me Callin'--Bluegrass: 80 Years of American Music
. But bluegrass--as a style distinct from the string band, traditional country, and old-timey music that preceded it--began in 1945, when Grand Ole Opry performer Bill Monroe debuted a new lineup of his Blue Grass boys. Or, as some prefer, it began in 1946, when Earl Scruggs incorporated his dazzling three-fingered banjo style into the group. That brilliant quintet--Monroe on vocals and mandolin, Lester Flatt on guitar, Scruggs on vocals and banjo, Chubby Wise on fiddle, and Howard Watts (a.k.a. Cedric Rainwater) on bass--established the instrumental template and fundamentals of the genre: close, high harmonies, a preference for lightning tempos, traditional songs or traditional-sounding originals, and a steadfast rejection of the electric instruments and lyrical impiety that would increasingly come to mark mainstream country. Monroe called bluegrass "the old southern sound," full of "ancient tones" conjured from backwoods Appalachian dances and beyond. And yet nothing quite like Monroe's serious, accelerated, streamlined, virtuosic, and self-consciously "pure" music ("folk music in overdrive," to quote field recorder-musicologist Alan Lomax) had been played before. Bluegrass was both preservationist and unprecedented, commercial and genuine. The transmogrified English, Scots-Irish, and Irish folk songs, African American rhythms and styles, Victorian ballads, and other sounds that informed hillbilly music were all present in Monroe's bluegrass, along with lots of jazzlike syncopation and ensemble interplay, as well as a fair amount of plainly idiosyncratic innovations. Monroe's pioneering bluegrass, in one of those wonderful paradoxes that often defines great art, was full of the thrill of the old.
Much of that thrill can be heard on Can't You Hear Me Callin', the most ambitious to date summary of the genre. The collection should be illuminating to those converted by the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, and useful (if sometimes irritating) to longtime bluegrass devotees.
The set's first disc spends much of its time surveying bluegrass's immediate roots through selections both widely anthologized and hard to find. If you're a collector of old country, the several tracks each from the Carter Family and Roy Acuff might feel a bit redundant. But you might have missed lesser known, historically important stuff from string bands such as Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers, Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers, and Roy Hall and His Blue Ridge Entertainers, all of which zestfully demonstrate that Monroe didn't pull bluegrass out of thin air. (In his excellent Bluegrass Breakdown, Robert Cantwell wrote that Monroe didn't so much invent the genre as awaken it.)
The latter part of disc one and all of disc two collect seminal early bluegrass from Monroe and his associates and progeny, including the Stanley Brothers and the Clinch Mountain Boys, Flatt and Scruggs, the Osborne Brothers (underrepresented here), and Jim and Jessie (overrepresented). Though the collection draws from the catalogs of several major and small labels, Jim and Jessie aren't the only artists from Columbia's archives to get a bit too much attention. Licensing music from outside labels is expensive, tricky business, so one can forgive Columbia for leaning heavily on its own records, but some of the stuff here seems to be have been included strictly out of convenience. Disc four is particularly larded with weak, insignificant, or better-heard-elsewhere tracks from the Columbia vaults: slick '70s throwaways from Herb Pedersen, a couple of wallpaper-dull classical-bluegrass crossover cuts, four tunes from the Byrds' country-rock period, and bluegrass-tinged tunes from country superstars. These inclusions (plus dubious hokum such as "The Ballad of Jed Clampett") are especially irksome since the set offers no real representation of the important "new grass" scene as practiced by '70s-spawned groups such as New Grass Revival and the Seldom Scene.
Despite its occasionally questionable curatorial judgment and generally shaky finish, Can't You Hear Me Callin' includes enough great music to keep you busy for the winter. Here are fiddle solos that swing as hard as Basie, mandolin trills simultaneously sweet and pugnacious, tenor harmonies that make a simple third sound otherworldly, and super-fast banjo playing that, to borrow from Steve Martin, it's physically impossible to be depressed in the presence of--even when the banjoist is picking out the mournful, eerie, variegated tones of a fabricated yet somehow authentic Southern antiquity.

There aren't many hotels in Torrevieja so it's not that bad a tourist trap yet. Most of the foreigners are having a place of their own (or rented) or are visiting someone who has a place in the town.
Nevertheless, there are surprisingly many tourists - Spanish, German, English, Swedish and Finnish too.
There are many construction sites in and near Torrevieja, so more and more people are moving in...
