I was lucky to have some extra time over the holidays so I could browse on the internet. First off let me say that even though I posted and commented a couple of times on the previously mentioned "bee and beekeeping" forum, it is quite inactive and I was very disappointed. However, after mulling it over a bit it dawned on me that I'm not really hanging out in the best forum. After all, if you take away my current aim (supporting bee and other pollinating insects) what do I actually have? Well gee - a cottage garden!
So I cruised on over to the Cottage Garden forum and, honestly, I've barely had time to come up for air! Wonderful folks. Helpful, friendly, informative and enthusiastic. Avid to share plant knowledge, gardening tips and, be still my heart, seeds!
It's an absolute joy to 'hang out' with fellow gardening and pollinator enthusiasts. And, like a lot of folks with a passion, they blog! They journal! They website (is that really verb? *heh)! There's nothing like a picture of a sunny garden on a winter's day to boost spirits and get the brain racing toward the next season.
I was so inspired by the garden pics I've seen, that even though this blog is dedicated to bee and pollinator gardening, I couldn't resist showing off some of my own efforts. So I've added 2 new pages to this blog. At the top of the sidebar there is a new label with links to pictures of my flower gardens and the vegetable garden. After all, what good is the internet if you can't load up a server somewhere with a gazillion pics! :-)
Meanwhile....back to the forum. I'm collecting new tips for starting bee forage plant seeds in the basement. ;-)

The Prime Minister said he hopes wife Samantha will take him out for a curry tonight to celebrate his 46th birthday, he said this morning.
The Prime Minister faces a challenging day at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham with Boris Johnson set to steal the limelight when he takes to the main platform for his keynote speech.
Asked if that would spoil his day, Mr Cameron told Sky News: "No, not at all. I'm delighted that Boris is here on my birthday, it might give me a bit of time to myself because Boris has got so much to say and so much to offer the Conservative Party."
Once conference closes for the day Mr Cameron is hoping to sample the delights of the renowned Birmingham 'balti triangle' for a celebratory meal with his wife.
"I'm looking forward to Samantha coming back to Birmingham and I'm hoping she's going to take me out for a balti," he told BBC Breakfast.
Mr Johnson was later forced to admit he had not bought Mr Cameron a birthday present.
Asked to reveal what gift he had given the Prime Minister he told BBC 2's Daily Politics: "I think the most important thing that any of us here can do is just to point out that this is the right government for this country."
Asked again what he had bought, he replied: "I don't know if you had a chance to watch what I had to say but I was able to wish him a happy birthday and many years in government to come.
"I haven't splashed out on a present.
"I tell you what, I did give him a present, this popped fortuitously into my head, I was able to give him a present and I'll send you one as well, Johnson's Life of London, available in all good bookshops."
Meanwhile bookmakers will be counting their losses today after David Cameron defied expectations by racking up more than 100,000 followers on Twitter in a matter of days.
Some firms offered 25/1 odds of the Prime Minister reaching the target by the end of the Conservative Party conference being held in Birmingham and will now have to pay out thousands to punters.
Ladbrokes has now slashed its odds on him notching up one million followers this year to 2/1 from 66/1.
He tweeted today: "I'm told some bookmakers are regretting laying odds against this account passing 100,000 followers during conference."
Mr Cameron once said that he would steer clear of the site, which allows users to send out messages in 140 characters or fewer, famously saying that he was worried that "too many tweets make a twat".
But he became the 370th MP to start an account at the weekend and has posted a number of messages about his activities during the conference.
He told Sky News: "In this modern world you have got to use every means to try and communicate your message and explain to people why you are doing it. You've got to get with the programme, I suppose."Reuse content

A nice and perfectly located flat. You could walk to almost everything. Located in the highest floor, so not for disabled. Kitchen was well equipped.
We (a family of 4) stayed in this suite for 5 days. Very clean and completely renovated place. Less than 10 minutes' walk to Eifel tower and maybe 2 or 3 minutes to closest metro station and Napoleon tomb. We had concern about the beds that looked narrow in the pictures but they were comfortable enough. Chokri provided clean sheets and white very clean towels. Kitchen and its dishes, pots and pans was very new and the small kitchen had everything even a dishwasher. It was a small suite but has enough closet to put many thing in it and the whole suite was bright. When we arrived we called him and he was there in half an hour. Everything was acceptable and if we want to come back to Paris we'll rent this suite again.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It is a very nice apartment
Excellent apartment. Clean, comfortable, with nice furniture, TV and kitchen facilities. Wonderful location in the city, close to attractions. All recommend this apartment, as the best combination of price and quality. Thank you
Nice place to stay for a few days. There is enough room for two people allthough the bed is not very comfortable for two, not enough support and you'll find your partner in the middle.
Host was very correct and flexible and the appartement was well furnished and clean. Will return and recommend but only if bed is changed.
Una situación estupenda, cerca de todo, con metro en la puerta. Edificio tranquilo con ascensor. El apartamento es estupendo, nuevo por dentro y limpísimo, está todo impecable y equipado con todo lo necesario.
El trato con el propietario ha sido también estupendo, sin ningún problema y con todas las facilidades para recoger y devolver las llaves en los horarios que quisiéramos.
Sin duda, lo recomiendo al 100%,ha sido muchísimo mejor de lo que esperábamos.
Studio très bien placé, très propre, bonne literie, aucun bruit dans l'immeuble. Le seul petit inconvénient pour moi c'est le quatrième sans ascenseur, mais il suffit d'être organisé et à la longue on s'habitue.
Chokri est sympathique et disponible.
très bon séjour.
En primer lugar, la persona que nos atendió solo hablaba francés con lo cual la comunicación no era muy buena. Las persianas no funcionaban, ninguna de las dos del salón, vamos una maravilla. Y algún armario de la cocina le faltaba la puerta. La bañera era demasiado alto, así que si no se tiene cuidado puedes tropezar.buena situación, supermercados,restaurantes y bares cerca. Silencioso.
Precioso apartemento. Muy bien situado. Limpio y buen cuidado.

Idaho Panhandle wolf toll up to 58
PREDATORS -- Idaho hunters and trappers have killed a total of 58 wolves in the Idaho Panhandle region with another five weeks left in the seasons that started last fall.
At least 318 wolves had been reported killed by hunters and trappers across the state as of Wednesday.
The graph above includes the Idaho Panhandle harvest though Wednesday, with projections to the end of the season based on the average take the past four weeks, said Jim Hayden, Idaho Fish and Game Department regional wildlife manager in Coeur d'Alene.
Hayden explained:
Right now it looks like the final harvest should be pushing 80 wolves in the Panhandle. That's a significant number. From 1998 through 2009, the Panhandle wolf population grew by at least 26 percent per year (and probably pretty close to this number). Based loosely on areas where we do have decent information, it appears that the final reported harvest will probably be a little over 30 percent of the pre-season wolf population. That harvest rate may be enough to hold the population in check in general, within limits of local variation.
In this region, we've conducted 15 wolf trapping classes, with two additional final classes scheduled by the first of March. Nearly 450 folks will have gone through the wolf trapper education program this year. As experience builds, this group will become more and more effective in helping to manage our wolf population.

A method of determining the gas leakage through a mine stopping. The mine stopping, whose leakage is to be measured, is set up in a mine. Next, a test barrier is set up in the mine adjacent to the stopping. The volume between these two structures forms a closed test chamber filled with ambient gas. A known trace gas different from the ambient gas or a known contaminating gas is introduced into the chamber and mixed therein. Thereafter, periodic measurements are made of the rate of change in concentration of the tracer gas. Lastly, based upon the measured rate of change in concentration of the tracer gas, the leakage past the mine stopping is determined.
We claim:
1. A method for determining the gas leakage past a mine passageway stopping comprising the steps of:
(1) setting up a test gas barrier in the mine passageway adjacent to the mine stopping to form a substantially closed gas test chamber therebetween;
(2) introducing a tracer gas into the test chamber;
(3) mixing said tracer gas with the ambient gas in the test chamber;
(4) periodically measuring the rate of change in concentration of said tracer gas in the chamber; and
(5) determining the gas leakage past said mine passageway stopping based upon the measured rate of changes in tracer gas concentrations.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein step (1) is performed by hanging a temporary brattice curtain approximately parallel to and less than ten feet from the mine stopping.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein in step (2) the tracer gas introduced into the test chamber is an ambient contaminating gas naturally found in mines.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein step (4) is accomplished by obtaining gas samples at fixed time intervals from the chamber and then using an electron-capture chromatograph on the samples to measure concentration.
5. The method of claim 1 where step (5) is accomplished last and is based in part upon the relationship:
where C is the measured concentration of the tracer gas at any time, Co the initial tracer gas concentration, Q.sub.L the to be determined gas leakage past the mine stopping, t the time interval beginning from the time Co is measured and endingat the time C is measured, and V the gas volume of the test chamber.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention is in the area of measuring gas leakage past a barrier.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Gas leakage around or through a mine barrier has previously been determined. The U.S. Pat. No. 4,055,074 (Thimons et al) represents the closest known prior art concerned with the mining field. However, this prior art invention does not employa tracer gas and as a result would not include most of the essential elements and steps herein claimed. The Thimons et al patent does teach the broad concept of setting up a test barrier near the mine stopping or barrier whose leakage is to be measuredand then making measurements with an anemometer at various windows at the test barrier. These measurements may be at a single window or a combination of windows. Using the measurements and the principles of fluid dynamics, the total leakage past thepermanent mine stopping is mathematically determined.
In contrast to the method disclosed in the Thimons et al patent, we employ a method for measuring leakage which utilizes a tracer gas and is as a result more accurate and capable of measuring much lower leaks. This is because direct measurementof air velocity is not necessary in a tracer gas method.
The prior art also teaches the concept of injecting a tracer gas into a vessel to determine the gas leakage therefrom. The three U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,425,264 (Frei), 3,487,677 (Molitor), and 3,721,117 (Ford) disclose this method. None areconcerned with the mining field nor with the measurement of gas leakage past a mine stopping as set forth in our claims.
Our invention is a method of determining the gas leakage past a mine stopping. Initially, a test barrier is set up in the mine adjacent to the stopping to form in the space therebetween and the interposed mine walls a closed test gas chamber. Next, a tracer gas capable of being differentiated in the test chamber is introduced into the chamber. All gases within the chamber are mixed to insure a generally uniform concentration of each there throughout. Thereafter, the rate of change in theconcentration of the tracer gas is periodically measured. And based upon the measured change in concentration, the leakage of gas past the mine stopping is determined.
The primary object of this invention is an improved method of determining the leakage past a mine stopping.
FIG. 1 illustrate a typical mine installation set up used to practice our invention.
FIG. 2 graphically depicts different time measurements of the concentrations for the tracer gas sulfur hexafluoride.
Referring to FIG. 1 there is shown a more or less typical mine air stopping 1 in situ within a mine. Essentially the purpose of our invention is to measure the air leakage that flows through this stopping. Although the particular stoppingillustrated is made up of a concrete block wall extending from the floor to roof and wall to wall of the mine entry, other types can also be used. The stopping could be a brattice curtain sealed at the edges to the walls, floor, and roof of the mine. The exact details of the structure of the stopping are irrelevant to this invention as long as it functions to provide an air seal within the mine.
The United States Bureau of Mines Report of Investigations (RI) entitled "Tracer Gas Method for Measuring Leakage through Mine Stoppings" authored by us and first published in RI 8324 describes details and experiments relating to this invention. The contents of the RI are specifically incorporated by reference herein.
Pertaining to FIG. 1 there is shown the mentioned stopping 1 built in the mine passageway 3. The first step in the preferred embodiment of our method is to setting up a temporary brattice cloth curtain or test barrier 5 spaced about 10 feet fromthe permanent stopping 1. The volume V of space 7 formed between these two barriers (1 and 5) and the enclosed walls, floor, and roof forms a generally closed gas test chamber. After set up, the next step is to introduce a tracer gas into the space 7. As indicated in the referenced RI, extensive tests have been conducted using the tracer gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF.sub.6) and the naturally occuring tracer gas methane (CH.sub.4).
After the tracer gas has been introduced into the test chamber, the gases in the chamber are mixed to insure a uniform distribution throughout the volume V. Mixing may be accomplished by a person going into the chamber and moving a flat boardtherein for several minutes. After the person completes the mixing step he or she leaves the chamber through the barrier 5 and then carefully checks the same barrier for any observable gas leaks.
The next step following the mixing step is to collect gas samples from the chamber at the same fixed time intervals. Using the hand pump 9 connected to the chamber via the hollow tubing 11, the gas samples are collected. The opened end of thetube is hung at the center of chamber and the other end is placed outside of the chamber for sampling. The concentration of the tracer gas is measured, with an instrument such as an electron-capture chromatograph, from the samples and plotted versustime on semi-log paper as shown in FIG. 2. An example of the type of chromatograph which may be used is the Model 215 AWP manufactured by Systems, Science, and Software Company of La Jolla, Calif. It, of course, is possible to measure the tracer gasconcentrations directly instead of taking gas samples.
The last basic step of our invention is to determine the amount of gas leakage Q.sub.L past the stopping 1 based upon the measured concentrations C taken at the different time intervals. The change in the tracer gas concentration in the fixedvolume V between the two barriers as a function of time t is:
where: C.sub.L is the instant tracer gas concentration in the gas leaking through the stopping 1, Q.sub.L the gas leakage through the stopping, and C the instant tracer gas concentration at any given time within the testing chamber volume V. Thegas leakage Q.sub.L from the stopping is assumed to mix well. For a constant value of Q.sub.L and C.sub.L :
where C.sub.o is the initial tracer gas concentration within the volume V from the time of the first periodic measurement.
If the measured concentration of the tracer gas (C.sub.L) in the leakage air (Q.sub.L) is zero then equation (2) reduces to:
A semi-log plot of the concentration of the tracer gas versus time would yield a straight line with a slope of -Q.sub.L /V. Multiplying the negative of the slope by the volume V one obtains the stopping leakage Q.sub.L.
The present method can also be practiced without actually introducing a foreign tracer gas into the ambient air. Suppose there is a contaminating mine gas--like methane--with a constant contaminating gas content greater than that initiallymeasured in the test volume V, then with the test stopping 9 hung on the low pressure side of the leak, the contaminating gas can act like a tracer gas. In this situation C.sub.L, C.sub.o, and equation (2) is rewritten to:
The semi-log plot of C.sub.L -C versus time yields a straight line with a slope of (-Q/V)L. By multiplying the negative of the slope by the volume V, the stopping leakage can be obtained.
FIG. 2 shows the results of one such test using the first cited procedure. The SF.sub.6 tracer gas was introduced into the fixed volume V and the concentration of the gas measured at 5 minute intervals for the next hour. The concentrations werethen plotted as shown in FIG. 2 and a 53 cfm leakage was computed from the slope of the dashed line drawn through the plotted concentration points.
Other variations from the described preferred embodiment are, of course, possible. None should be used to vary the scope and extent of our invention which is to be measured only by the claims which follow.

3D Printing: Hype vs. Reality
Will 3D Printing Really Change The World?
"Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are a poor substitute for conventional manufacturing," he continued. "The opportunity lies when you change the game. Stop looking at it as a direct substitute for injection molding or die casting." Similarly, Autodesk's Brandt stresses the need for industry to move the goalposts when it comes to 3D printing. Building, say, brackets better, faster, cheaper is great, but he's looking forward to something that doesn't yet exist, perhaps a process in which "the computer drives the evolution of the design of the product, rather than having humans explicitly designing the product."
What such a process would look like, he's not sure. "We don't have a clear example yet of a product that can only be made through additive manufacturing — and this is what I think we're all anticipating," Brandt says. "So instead of asking, 'What can 3D printing replace?' — which is our current phase of this technology — we should be asking, 'What can we do that we haven't done before?'"

Professional Liability Insurance
Let's keep your credibility and your reputation intact.
Focus on giving advice instead of defending it
Your success depends on your customers' and vendors' trust in the services, advice or counsel you provide. Allegations of misrepresentation, breach of contract or wrongful business practices can destroy your business. It can happen more easily than you might think—a customer claims that something you've done has cost them money or caused them harm—and they sue.
If, at any time in the course of your work, you offer professional services, make recommendations, provide solutions to or otherwise represent the interests of your customers, you're assuming a professional liability. And it's not just your actions that you need to worry about. If you use third-party vendors in the course of your work, you're also liable for their acts, errors and omissions.
Contact a HUB broker to get started.
General liability insurance rarely covers the damage that follows from a professional liability claim. And a well-written contract that includes the right limitation-of-liability wording is a good start, but it's no substitute for professional liability coverage. Whether a claim has merit or not, any contract can be challenged.
Professional Liability Insurance covers the cost of:
- Experts to guide you through the investigation, negotiation and litigation processes
- Legal fees incurred in defending yourself and your business
- Settlements and judgments against your business
What you need to know
Fast and Effective Ways to Reduce Your Professional Liability Exposure
The math makes simple business sense: It costs much less to prevent professional liability claims than it does to defend them. Commit to these best practices to reduce your professional liability exposure.

I run a troop support group called The Hugs Project out of Oklahoma City. We ordered 30,000 foldable Frisbees from this company and will be sending 2 per care package for Christmas to our military. Our hope is that our troops will keep one and share one with a buddy.
Anyway, we were very happy with both the quality and the service. Mary and her team were a pleasure every step of the way. They did a great job of getting us our order on the agreement date even when we had a little glitch getting info to them. It is so nice in this day and age, when some companies don't seem to care about their customers, to be treated so well.
Thank you, Open Tip. We look forward to doing business with you in the future and we will be referring people to your great company.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Sweet Caroline
I did some more fiddling with the Stitch Length Selector this afternoon. There is some kind screw in the center of the dial that sits behind the set screw in the center of the dial. By taking a small screwdriver and turning the center screw I was able to move that pointy end that juts out of the back. It is the pointy thing that engages with the mechanism inside and adjusts the stitch length. The first stitches were six to an inch, nowI am now getting a respectable 10 stitches to an inch and am not going to mess with it any more.
I also had to spend some time adjusting the upper tension. That was a chore because the upper tension dial is not numbered. I also decided that the first bobbin case that I tried was not going to defeat me either. I played with it's tension screw. Voila, both upper and lower tensions are balanced and providing a perfect stitch.
Sweet Caroline
Caroline, it is gunked up inside... I can see it.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
Gorgeous! Let us know how she sews!
She is a beauty! I think you did very well.
Did it come with a book? If not, you could find a singer 15 book online, free, and go to town with the oil and grease. It is close enough to be of help, as your machine is configured like a 15. Joe says to use Singer oil and grease, but not the old stuff. Be careful not to oil where it say grease or it won't stay. Grease to grease and oil to oil. You can't go wrong, just done't use too much oil only just enough to lubricate, otherwise it will make a real mess. Good luck.

Couldn't find the "Recipe" topic area so posted it here. My Kugelis just does not turn out fluffy. Also looking for a good Bacon bun recipe - especially the filling. Any Lithuanians out there that can help me?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Couldn't find the "Recipe" topic area so posted it here. My Kugelis just does not turn out fluffy. Also looking for a good Bacon bun recipe - especially the filling. Any Lithuanians out there that can help me?
Sorry, the combo of the kugel with the bacon buns made me laugh ;-)
Here's a Potato-Zucchini Kugel:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees/ 9" square pan, lightly oiled
4 medium zucchini
2 large potatoes
4 eggs
1 large onion
salt and pepper to taste
Matzo meal (start with 1/2 cup and add more if necessary)
1/2-3/4 cup of oil
1 tsp. baking powder
Peel potatoes . Wash zucchini but do NOT peel.
Mix potatoes, zucchini, onion and eggs in blender and blend quickly.
Pour into bowl and add other ingredients. Matzo meal should be added until mixture is not liquid.
Bake @ 375-400 degrees until top is brown and crisp (about 1hr). Check center with knife or toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
I sometimes grate the zucchini in for a bit of texture. Make sure you taste the mixture before baking to check for seasoning.
oooh sounds good, will try - thanks.
Kugelis and bacon buns were my two favorites growing up and like a dummy - I never had my mom or gram teach me.
as a pure bred Lithuanian on both sides of the family--I have these recipes----Zucchini is NOT in them----I'll look up my Mom's recipes and get back to you in a day or two
quilter Laurie
Laurie - I Love you! I am pure bred too.
Oooohhhh sounds dilish can't wait.
Would you mind PMing me the "Pure Bred" recipe as well?
We had something similiar to this that my Belgium Grandmother used to make but it does sound as yummy tasting as your.
Pure bred too! When you find the recipe could I please have it too? I never spent enough time in the kitchen with my mom and grandmother and now I am so sorry. Wish I would have learned the language, too, besides the bad words my uncles taught me.
"Sorry, the combo of the kugel with the bacon buns made me laugh "
ditto! lol-
I like the idea of adding the zuchini, though, even if it doesnt start out in the recipe. Just another way to get the veggies into people.
I am interested in ethnic recipes, especially any Eastern European - Im "pure" Polish (both sides go waaaaaay back). My older relatives have died now, and nieces are always asking for "real" Polish recipes, I never learned many from Mom and GM. A lot of recipes from that area in Europe are sort of start the same and then have their regional variations, very interesting. (like cabbage rolls, for example)Sharet
Can't wait, will be watching for recipes. Thank you.Originally Posted by quilterlaurie

KACC asked to probe $98.7 million Triton oil theft at Kenya Pipeline
Posted Saturday, January 10 2009 at 10:33
A day before the dramatic sacking of Kenya Pipeline Company Ltd (KPC) managing director George Okungu late last Friday, Energy Minister Kiraitu Murungi had instructed the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission to move into the firm to investigate the circumstances under which millions of litres of petroleum held in trust on behalf of financiers and international traders were irregularly released to the troubled Triton Oil Company.
It is a scandal that has left several leading international companies involved in financing oil imports into Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda as well as the Kenya Commercial Bank — who had all financed Triton to import the oil — at risk of losing a whopping Sh7.6 billion ($98.7 million) as a total of 126.4 million litres was released to Triton without their authorisation or knowledge.
Sources told The EastAfrican that the minister made the decision to call in KACC after holding a crisis meeting with the directors of the pipeline company on Wednesday last week.
Mr Murungi also directed that KPC's current external auditors be immediately engaged to do a comprehensive forensic audit of all product held in the pipeline to determine its ownership and find out whether what is held in the stores tallies with records held by oil companies and financiers.
Already, two officials from the company's operations department had been suspended.
But the mood within the corridors of Nyayo House, where the ministry headquarters is located, as we went to press on Friday, suggested that the minister intends to cast the dragnet wide enough to include top decision makers at the company. Sure enough, he began at the very top.
At stake is the integrity of one of the region's most strategic facilities in the oil sector — often described as the spinal column of the petroleum industry in East Africa.
Documents seen by The EastAfrican show that the international oil trading and finance companies at risk include Glencore of the UK, Fortis Bank, Bank of Holland, Emirates National Oil Corporation of the UAE and the Kenya Commercial Bank.
Mr Murungi moved into action as it emerged that KPC itself was also widely exposed in the transaction and was at risk of being sued by oil companies and financiers.
Although the pipeline company has yet to receive any quantifiable claim from the affected financiers, The EastAfrican has learnt that several banks and institutions have written to the company seeking to be told why and how their product left the KPC system without written approval by authorised signatories.
It is also understood that one of the financiers, KCB, has already fired off a letter to KPC threatening to take legal action.
According to informed sources, news of the scandal was reported to Mr Murungi on Monday last week.
The minister thereupon ordered Mr Okungu to prepare a detailed report and to convene an urgent board meeting to deliberate on the matter.
Dealings between KPC and oil companies are usually done through a system known in the jargon as a Collateral Financing Agreement.
A critical facility in the financing of the oil business, this agreement is what has made it possible for small players to participate in the oil industry.

Ghana U20 assistant coach Preko confident of qualification despite Himalayan task at Gabon
Ghana U20 assistant trainer Yaw Preko is optimistic about his side's chances of reaching next year's African Youth Championship.Â
The Gabonese are heavy favourites to qualify ahead of the 2009 world champions, having come returned from Ghana with a favourable 0-0 stalemate from the first-leg almost a fortnight ago.
Ghana must win the tie in Libreville or at least manage a scoring draw to reach the Senegal finals. And, Preko, a former Ghana star, is confident the Black Satellites will push through.
"We can see the boys are in good shape for the game and I'm confident we will pull through," he told Accra-based Oman FM.
Head coach Sellas Tetteh has named a strong 18-man squad for the trip with King Faisal goal-scoring prodigy Sulley Mohammed recovering injury to make the squad.
"We've to make the transit in Lome by bus and continue by flight," Preko revealed.
Ghana have played in all past three editions of the African Youth Championship, reaching the medal zone twice.

Summary (Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
Maxine has been a widow for less than a month. Her husband, Fred, snagged himself with a fishhook and died of blood poisoning. Maxine has no real option but to continue running Costa Verde, a small hotel that they owned and managed, perched high above the Pacific near the remote Mexican village of Puerto Barrio. The play is set in the period shortly before the United States entered World War II. The Costa Verde has Nazi guests who cheer at the bombing of London and other German victories.
On the scene comes T. Lawrence Shannon, always called Larry, a defrocked minister whose options are running out. He is a tour guide for Blake Tours and, in this instance, is shepherding a group of female Texans through Mexico. Miss Fellowes, seemingly the organizer and mother hen of this group, is agitated because Shannon refuses to take them to the hotel for which they had contracted. She also is disturbed by Shannon's attentions to seventeen-year-old Charlotte, the youngest person in the tour group. Fellowes is indignant that Shannon made a play for Charlotte, but the subtext suggests that she is jealous because she herself has designs on the girl.
Larry comes into the hotel to see his old friend, Maxine. It soon becomes evident that Maxine lusts after him and, with her husband recently dead, she hopes for some sort of alliance with him: marriage, or the best she could get short of marriage. Her not insubstantial physical needs are being fulfilled through purely physical acts with her bellboys, a situation that makes her fear that she is losing their respect.
On this emotionally charged scene strides Hannah Jelkes, a New England woman slightly under forty years old, who is wheeling her poet-grandfather, Jonathan Coffin, whom she always calls Nonno, around the tropics. Nonno is ninety-seven years old. The two of them are as bereft of any real future as are Larry and Maxine. They have no money and had been turned away from every hotel in town. The Costa Verde is their last hope.
Maxine assures them that she has room for them and asks for payment in advance. Hannah informs her that they have no money but that they could earn their keep, Nonno by reciting his poetry to the other guests, Hannah by doing charcoal sketches of them and possibly by selling one of her watercolors. Maxine, unimpressed, agrees to let them stay, but for only one night. Meanwhile, a native boy delivers an iguana that is tied up and left to fatten beneath the veranda. When it reaches an appropriate weight, Maxine will cook it for dinner.
It becomes increasingly clear that Larry Shannon has no reasonable future to which to look forward. He speaks of rejoining the church, but the circumstances of his leaving it were...
(The entire section is 1116 words.)
Summary (Masterpieces of American Literature)
Set during World War II, The Night of the Iguana features three main characters. Shannon, a defrocked minister and recovering alcoholic, now a tour guide for a cheap Texas-based travel agency, and Hannah Jelkes meet at a shabby Mexican tourist hotel that is run by an oversexed American expatriate, Maxine. As one of Williams's survivor characters, Maxine supports herself, hoping some day to return to the United States to manage a motel.
Shannon's battles are internal, involving his dismissal from the church for reasons of alcoholism and sexual promiscuities. Throughout the play, he attempts to write a letter to his superior for reinstatement in the church. His failure even as a tour guide emphasizes the illusionary nature of his attempt at reinstatement. The play opens with a conflict between him and his tour group—ladies from a Baptist college in Texas—regarding their hotel for the night. Shannon insists that they stay at Maxine's rather than, as the tour brochure states, in the town below. Their arguments are protracted through the length of the play.
Arriving penniless at the hotel at the same time as Shannon are Hannah Jelkes and her nonagenarian grandfather, Nonno, who make their living in their travels, she by drawing portraits of tourists and he by reciting poems that he writes in his memory. Hannah has a purity and strength of character which is not of the world she inhabits.
In her behavior and her many conversations with Shannon, she is a painful reminder to him of lost ideals. Her honesty and courage...

Usually, going to bed with makeup on means clogged pores and angry skin in the morning. But this round-the-clock non-comedogenic formula is so gentle and nourishing, it's safe to wear from brunch to happy hour to brunch again (#weekendgoals). Packed with powerful moisturizers and vitamins A, C, and E, this two-in-one powerhouse conceals imperfections and wrinkles while working to fight them at the same time...so go ahead and sleep in.
I really like this product! I need an under eye lightener and this one also is an anti-aging treatment. How great is that! I also use it around my nose and on my laugh lines. It works great there. My only slight concern is that it needs to be smoothed after application to make sure it has not been placed too thickly or fallen into the lines & folds. But that's easy to do.4
I love this concealer: it applies smoothly, doesn't crease, and lasts all day. It also provides the perfect amount of coverage for my medium-strength dark circles. I appreciate the fact that it can easily be applied with fingers. The packaging is very cheap, however - the plastic lid breaks up into tiny pieces no matter how careful I am (and I don't even carry it around with me in my bag). Apart from this major defect, it's easily one of my favorite concealers ever.4

Part of Alie's A/W 08 collection, these are the kind of trainer that makes you want to buy a few matching pieces just to accommodate it.

Is Nokia's Netbook Too Expensive?
On Sept. 2, Nokia announced the specs of its first netbook, the Nokia Booklet 3G. The netbook, which comes with a global positioning system and runs Nokia mobile services, will cost $819. Most analysts I've talked to expected it to cost less than $500, which is the price of premium netbooks today.
The same day, Nokia also announced some neat Facebook features.
The high price could dramatically impede Nokia's progress in conquering the netbooks market. Nowadays, most manufacturers' netbooks cost between $200 and $350 to the carriers, which subsidize and sell them for consumers for as little as zero dollars with a wireless service contract. But no carrier can afford to subsidize the Booklet's full cost. Germany's O2 plans to sell the Booklet to consumers for about $356, after subsidies and with a long-term wireless contact. That's a lot of money for a consumer to shell out. And my hunch is, not many consumers will take O2 up on this offer.
Even though its product looks attractive and works well, according to demos, the high price leaves little hope for Nokia's success in this market. While the company does not want to cheapen its brand, or jeopardize its margins with a cheap netbook, it has to come out with a competitively priced device to make sales. Today, in my opinion, Nokia prices itself right out of the market.

Dance Performance by Stephen Petronio Company: Locomotor / Non Locomotor
April 16, 2015
7:30 pm
Fine Arts Center Concert Hall
UMass Amherst Campus
Stephen Petronio's Locomotor / Non Locomotor is an evening-length, full-company work in two parts featuring an original score by electronic hip-hop pioneer Clams Casino. Locomotor explores extreme locomotive states, casting Petronio's virtuoso company in a careening mix of action forward and backward through time and space, while Non Locomotor begins from the spine and its ability to initiate torque and torsion, sending movement surging throughout the body. "There's a visceral thrill to Stephen Petronio's choreography that is unlike anything offered by other contemporary choreographers…" – The New York Times
Audience members are invited to a pre-show talk at the University Museum of Contemporary Art (lower level of FAC) at 6:30 p.m., and to stay for a post-performance talk with Stephen Petronio immediately following the performance.

Josh Sidorowicz joined the FOX 17 team in July 2014.
Before making the move to the west side of the state, Sidorowicz was a reporter at WILX-TV News 10, the NBC affiliate and number one station in Lansing, Mich., where he covered state politics and his alma mater Michigan State University. He also regularly joined viewers on the weekend, filling in to anchor both the station's early morning and evening newscasts.
Sidorowicz graduated from MSU with a degree in both journalism and political science. While attending school he interned with the university's student newspaper, the State News, and with the local cable news station HOM-TV. He also had stints in Detroit with both Crain's Detroit Business and Automotive News trade publications.
He's won two Emmy Awards at the Michigan collegiate level, one for 'best newscast' earned by the team of students behind MSU's student newscast 'Focal Point' and the other for his anchoring while on that newscast. Sidorowicz has also been recognized with several first and second place distinctions from the Society of Professional Journalists.
Originally from the Detroit area, coming to the west side of the state was a new endeavor for Sidorowicz, but one he was excited to dive into. He's looking forward to getting to know West Michigan viewers and telling their stories.

Leadership: President Obama admonishes congressional leaders to "act like grown-ups," then immediately prepares to leave town to raise money as a budget crisis brews. So who's acting like an adult here?
'You want everybody to act like an adult, quit playing games and realize it is not my way or the highway," the president said as he prepared to head off for a fundraiser in Pennsylvania.
Obama's words, directed at the GOP, are rich in irony. Since when does acting on principle — shrinking our bloated federal government down to normal size and reducing the dangerously soaring deficit — qualify as childish?
Republicans are only doing the hard, dirty and, yes, adult work of making tough choices about limited resources. Unlike petulant Democrats. With their name-calling and refusal to recognize either fiscal reality or the damage their $1-trillion-a-year deficits have done, they might as well be redubbed the Puerile Party.
And while we're talking childish — isn't a looming government shutdown a bit more important than raising still more political cash? Can't it wait, Mr. President? Apparently not.
Even so, the possibility of a government shutdown has Washington and the left-wing mainstream media in high dudgeon. They may be hoping for a repeat of 1995, when President Clinton refused to sign a budget, shut down the government and got away with blaming the GOP for it.
But who's to blame for this mess now?
Last year, Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency. By law, they were required to pass a budget. They didn't. Why? Like children running from a broken cookie jar, pointing fingers as they go, they were afraid of being punished by the voters.
They also knew that even if they lost in the midterm elections, they could rely on the Republicans — the Daddy Party — to do their dirty work for them.
Styling himself the adult, the president now talks about "meeting responsibilities" to produce a budget. But he had a chance to do just that earlier this year.
Instead, he put out a reality-defying, 10-year plan that did nothing about entitlements, boosted federal spending by 58% and added a devastating $10 trillion to our nation's debt.
In short, a childish dereliction of his fiscal duty as the nation's chief financial officer.
Now that the Republicans are actually stepping in to stop this fiscal folly — producing real cuts in the 2011 budget plus the longer-term Ryan plan to climb our way out of our fiscal hole — Democrats are blaming them for the possibility that government will shut down.
We say if Democrats won't take their adult responsibilities seriously, let it shut down. And if it does, Americans should blame the tantrum-throwing children in Congress — the same ones who ludicrously call the GOP's proposed $40 billion in 2011 budget cuts (a mere 1.1% of spending) "devastating."
Just don't blame the adults who are finally trying to clean up this mess.

Declaration of Independence
this wiki
On July the 4th in 1776, a group calling themselves the Second Judgmental Congress got together at Fort McHarry in Maryland. After a ceremony which ended with Paul Revere singing the famous battle hymn known as the National Anthem, the document was signed. From there, it was sent to England by plane presumably and presented to King George himself. Thus began the Evolutionary War."— Abraham Washington
The Declaration of Independence is an item found in the ruins of D.C's National Archives. It can be recovered by the Lone Wanderer for the Rivet City historian Abraham Washington.
The Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, announcing that the thirteen American colonies (then at war with Great Britain) were no longer a part of the British Empire. The colonies became one sovereign state in the form of the United States of America. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America is called Independence Day which is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress.
In the National Archives' Strongroom, in a safe in the back of the room where you encounter Button Gwinnett.

October 15
Off to Tokyo with with Jimmy Page. We flew on the new BA First Class. Now it has its pros - new style sleeper seats, electric shades - but it can't beat Virgin for the air hostesses. The ones on BA are old enough to be my grandmother. And I thought I'd enjoy some First Class Japanese "tucker" except on BA they had nothing, all loin of lamb (very tough), the food for First Class was dire.
Still, we arrived into a very sunny and surprisingly warm Tokyo. Spent a slightly jet-lagged afternoon record shopping. I got Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits original pressing with the obi, Silverhead first album, Aerosmith Get Your Wings, Strider's Misunderstood, all White Label promos. I nearly got Physical Graffiti White Label promo and LZ II first pressings with obis,but Jimmy wanted them... At Back Trip Records I found a whole load of Mahavishnu Orchestra soundboards and even Ten Years After Seattle 1969. I did see a Japanese Mott with an obi but it was $265 and I already have four UK copies.
We spent the early evening in a tiny club watching Mr Jimmy, the best Led Zeppelin band I have ever seen.,They played the whole of the MSG Song Remains The Same Show, I even got some photos of them with their hero who loved it…
October 12
A night with Led Zeppelin at the Hammersmith Odeon, introduced by Sir Harvey Goldsmith. A much better sound than in NY, it really was like being in a gig.
October 10
I spent lunch time on the roof of the Riverton Hotel shooting Led Zeppelin. The weather was all over the place, hot, cold, rain and finally bright sunshine. Shot LZ with a mixture of available light and lighting with the help of Jimmy Hubbard who I think was a bit in awe (although he didn't show it) as he's more used to Mastodon and Lamb Of God…
Funny how you'd expect them to be difficult and you couldn't be more wrong - they were a pleasure to shoot. I shot a lot of BW film, as it was Zeppelin - I felt it was good to use real film, like analog…
Flew home in the evening. Liam Neeson, star of Taken, was guzzling red wine and singing Irish anthems in the British Airways First Class lounge. I wanted to go over and tell him what a work of art Taken is - where Liam goes to Paris, wipes out half the Algerian pimping and drug dealing population, while the French police don't notice a thing. And this week Taken II is out, this he wipes out most of Istanbul...
Gang member from Los Angeles, photographed in East LA. He'd just come out of prison after eight years - I asked him if I could take some photos.
October 9
Led Zeppelin day in NYC today. It started with the press conference and then the film at the Ziegfeld Theatre. As the band walked the red carpet I saw Kirk Hammett who was doing interviews for TV. I went over and he introduced me as his boyfriend. One asked our favourite LZ song, I say Beyond The Realms Of Death, Kirk says Satisfaction. I got a photo of Kirk with John Paul Jones, and Chad Smith arrived from the "Legendary" Chickenfoot. I asked Chad if Joe Satriani has learnt any riffs yet, instead of twiddle twiddle twiddle… We waited to shoot Kirk with Jimmy and Chad jumped to ruin the photo. As Jimmy went through the Ziegfeld lobby a woman grabbed, him holding on and hugging him, not letting go. I grabbed his other arm 'Come on Jimmy we have to go!' pulling him away.'Who was that looney?' He looked at me laughing, 'Stevie Nicks!!!!!'
Inside the theatre we saw Paul Stanley and his son Evan, it's a mad house with people coming over. As the film started Robert Plant leant over to Jimmy, 'It's not loud enough!' Still, kind of strange sitting next to Jimmy Page watching a Led Zeppelin concert.
There was a party at The Monkey Bar which was not bad, but there was an extreme lack of good looking women. I spent the evening with Kirk - we were accosted by Adam Bomb who we haven't seen since he played with Metallica at the Palladium in 1984. Louise Mensch, former MP and wife of Peter, took some nice photos of Kirk and me. Adam Bomb gave me his new CD as I left and asked if I can get it in Classic Rock...
October 8
Photo shoot with Jimmy today on the roof of the Armani store. I'd have liked to take him out but there were too many people being painful that just would not go away, screaming at him - truly pathetic…
We went to see Joe Walsh at the club Les Paul always played. He opened up with Rocky Mountain Way then Life's Been Good. He was incredible - Life In The Fast Lane, a solo Meadows on a Gretsch which someone had yelled out for from the crowd, Funk 49, a blues number, Turn To Stone… This was two great shows in two nights. I'd never seen Joe before live as I hate the Eagles - he was soooooo good. He even thanked me for my last photo session with him.
We went out to dinner and Kirk Hammett came along and gave Jimmy and I copies of his book Too Much Horror Business. I'd also got a copy of Pete Townshend's Who Am I signed by Pete earlier today. Having a very okay time so far in NYC...
October 7
NYC - tonight is the first ever NY show of Johnny Hallyday, the French Elvis, at the Beacon theatre. Jimmy Page played on some of his early records, so we're both curious. The Beacon was full of French, in fact while we were sitting a woman turned round, looked at us with disgust (as only the French can) and says 'What are you two doing here? You're English.'
Johnny came on to a video and searchlights with the sound of guns, very like Metallica playing ONE. He then burst into Crossroads and Johhny B Goode, all sung in French. The light show was one of the best I have ever seen, it was perfect. Johnny had charisma, he commanded the stage, speaking and singing ONLY in French (and he's fluent in English). He looked as if he'd been dressed by the Scorpions (expensive leather) and moved just like Elvis. He played Something Else and Cut Across Shorty by Eddie Cochran, Fortunate Son by CCR, Hey Joe and Superstitious, as an encore finishing alone with a French ballad. The crowd were going crazy all night. It was one of the best nights out ever…
I talked Jimmy into going to say hello. He asked Johnny if he remembered him, 'Of course,' smiled Elvis… A great night.
October 5
Flew to NYC with James Patrick Page as he's doing press for Celebration Day. I'm kind of hanging out and sort of being his tour manager. Flew BA which I hate, but actually it was okay as it was empty, a bit like having your own 747. Landed to a beautiful day, nice and warm. Got straight off the plane and went record shopping in the Village. I thought there was nothing much I could find until I found Lee Michaels Live, The Boys From Brazil Soundtrack, Joan Armatrading Live At The Bijou Cafe, Philadelphia 1977 white label promo and a new copy of Riot's Fire Down Under with my back cover photo shot in the Drake Hotel in NY - many moons ago.
Quite liking NY - the last few times I've been I've sort of rediscovered it.
My Led Zeppelin photo in the NY Times
October 4
It has been a couple of months since I enjoyed or thought about London but here are some photos I took this morning, and yes I know I've photographed Battersea Power Station before but it is such a sunny beautiful day - the power station seems to have "Majesty". Shot from the train. And my garden Yogi just 'cos I like him...
And a quote from T-Bone Walker I found on the Best Of Steve Miller
"Have Your Fun While You Can
You Know Fate's A Terrible Thing
You Don't Know What Might Happen
That's Why I Sing"
Well, I don't sing, but it's still good…
October 3
Watched Gates Of Flesh with Peter Makowski. It's set in Tokyo in 1948 where all the girls are whores - I fell in love with one called Sen. I even tried looking her up on Google as I'm off to Japan but nothing, although she must be about ninety now - my own Pictures Of Lily. Pete liked all of them…
I played a Lee Michaels LP I got called Barrel, he sounds just like Steve Marriott in the Small Faces era. Really nice, it came out in 1970 and he had a huge drummer called Frosty. I asked Jimmy Page about Lee Michaels as he opened for Led Zeppelin, Jimmy told me John Bonham rated Frosty as a drummer. It was a great find and I got it unplayed for $2.99
Some Rival Sons from the Electric Ballroom in Camden. Crappy in house light show, all back lit...
...plus The Foo Fighters and Band Of Horses from the De Luna Festival, Pensacola, Florida.
Foo Fighters
October 1
Spent the weekend feeling jet-lagged and sick. My body was in another country - even lots of coffee didn't help.
Went to the Olympia Record Fair with Jimmy Page who gave up when no one would leave him alone. I did okay, found someone selling 70s LPs at three for £10. Got SAHB Tomorrow's Dream, Ian Hunter Overnight Angels test pressing, signed by Ian (I know it was this 'cos I phoned Joe Elliott in California and played it down the phone). Status Quo Best Of on Pye, Sheer Greed Girl, Rose Tattoo Rock'N'Roll Outlaws, BOC On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.
On Sunday I went to the Roundhouse with Jimmy to see Muse. The gig was a girls night out, lots to look at as well as the band. Full of drunk girls - we had one falling on us in the balcony. Muse did play a bit of Heartbreaker, and had a good light show. They seemed to play a blend of everything the staff at Mojo would hate. I've been told they were like Rush - in fact they were NOTHING like Rush...
Here are some pictures of the Rival Sons, as they're playing the London Forum tonight

Article Title
The Visit-Data Warehouse: Enabling Novel Secondary Use of Health Information Exchange Data
Submission Type
informatics, health information technology, quality, health information exchange
Introduction/Objectives: Health Information Exchange (HIE) efforts face challenges with data quality and performance, and this becomes especially problematic when data is leveraged for uses beyond primary clinical use. We describe a secondary data infrastructure focusing on patient-encounter, nonclinical data that was built on top of a functioning HIE platform to support novel secondary data uses and prevent potentially negative impacts these uses might have otherwise had on HIE system performance.
Background: HIE efforts have generally formed for the primary clinical use of individual clinical providers searching for data on individual patients under their care, but many secondary uses have been proposed and are being piloted to support care management, quality improvement, and public health.
Description of the HIE and Base Infrastructure: This infrastructure review describes a module built into the Healthix HIE. Healthix, based in the New York metropolitan region, comprises 107 participating organizations with 29,946 acute-care beds in 383 facilities, and includes more than 9.2 million unique patients. The primary infrastructure is based on the InterSystems proprietary Caché data model distributed across servers in multiple locations, and uses a master patient index to link individual patients' records across multiple sites. We built a parallel platform, the "visit data warehouse," of patient encounter data (demographics, date, time, and type of visit) using a relational database model to allow accessibility using standard database tools and flexibility for developing secondary data use cases. These four secondary use cases include the following: (1) tracking encounter-based metrics in a newly established geriatric emergency department (ED), (2) creating a dashboard to provide a visual display as well as a tabular output of near-real-time de-identified encounter data from the data warehouse, (3) tracking frequent ED users as part of a regional-approach to case management intervention, and (4) improving an existing quality improvement program that analyzes patients with return visits to EDs within 72 hours of discharge.
Results/Lessons Learned: Setting up a separate, near-real-time, encounters-based relational database to complement an HIE built on a hierarchical database is feasible, and may be necessary to support many secondary uses of HIE data. As of November 2014, the visit-data warehouse (VDW) built by Healthix is undergoing technical validation testing and updates on an hourly basis. We had to address data integrity issues with both nonstandard and missing HL7 messages because of varied HL7 implementation across the HIE. Also, given our HIEs federated structure, some sites expressed concerns regarding data centralization for the VDW. An established and stable HIE governance structure was critical in overcoming this initial reluctance.
Conclusions: As secondary use of HIE data becomes more prevalent, it may be increasingly necessary to build separate infrastructure to support secondary use without compromising performance. More research is needed to determine optimal ways of building such infrastructure and validating its use for secondary purposes.
