Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF) a private sector membership-based organization and serves as the health sector board of the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). Founded in 2004, the Federation has a membership of 134 organizations that can be divided in corporate members, professional and institutional associations all active in the Kenyan health sector. The membership of KHF come from all the 6 building blocks of health systems as specified by the WHO:
- Service Delivery
- Health Workforce
- Information
- Supply Chain
- Health Financing
- Governance
TKHF's goal is to have an enabling environment that supports quality affordable healthcare for all Kenyans. The Federation will achieve this by championing Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) for better healthcare, by networking, engaging, representing and through win – win negotiations. The national Government of Kenya (GoK), County Governments, Faith Based Organization (FBO) networks, Development partners and NGOs in health are all key partners of KHF in trying to achieve its goals.
KHF 9th AGM held at Pride Inn Hotel, Westland
More than 100 KHF members, KHF Development Partners, legal partners and auditors gathered at Pride Inn Hotel on the 22nd June 2017 for the KHF 9th Annual General Meeting. The AGM was graced by healthcare sessions and presentations from KHF Members, Partners and Supporter Organizations. Mr. Michael Macharia, Founder & CEO Seven Seas Technologies who spoke on "Transformation of the health sector in Kenya" described Kenya as the hotbed of innovation urging healthcare stakeholders to consider opportunities in Medical Equipment Service and disruptive healthcare technologies. PharmAccess Foundation Ms. Millicent Olulo shared with members in a presentation how M-TIBA is today connecting patients, payers and providers to better Healthcare in the country
Kenya Healthcare Federation has now partnered with Nation Media Group (NMG) towards a healthier nation through publication of healthcare articles. This was evident at the AGM when both parties cut a cake as witnessed by Members and Partners to mark the beginning of this partnership. Mr. David Aduda from NMG shared a presentation to the Private Health Sector, highlighting the aim of the partnership as to create a link between the private health institutions and the target audience by providing relevant information on various health services and facilities available as well as work with health professionals to enrich content through interviews or soliciting their expert opinion on topical health issues. A section in the Nation Newspaper "Healthy Nation" has been allocated to KHF through its membership for publication of write-ups on topical issues, expert opinions and tips for stories to be published every Tuesday.
The Chairman of KHF Dr Amit Thakker on behalf of the Board of directors reported on a successful year which has been highlighted by new partnerships and diversification. KHF has in the recent past worked with the Healthcare agencies, NGOs, FBOs and Ministry of Health to address quality, affordable and accessible healthcare, in a bid to transform the sector for enhanced efficiency and sustainability. In his report, Dr Thakker highlighted KHF activities and achievements the board has been focusing on in the past one year. This included Advocacy, Regional and Networking, Membership, KHF Committees and Projects.
KHF members expressed their satisfaction at the positive progress made and the promising times ahead. KHF recognize the unprecedented blend of skills and experience within its membership to take it forward and is looking forward to working with all its members. Healthcare in Kenya is one of the most essential human requirements, and its disbursement should be addressed with the requisite sensitivity to prevent loss of life and decrease in human capital.

Duration:2-3 minutes
|Ufo above Williams twp and Bethlehem fireworks!
Driving behind giant shopping center. Saw a truck pulled over and 2 people looking up. I assumed they were watching the finale of the fireworks that I believe we're coming from Bethlehem. I then realized the 2 people were looking above and to the left of the fireworks so I stopped and got out.
I saw a fireball moving along the mountain range that is Williams township toward Bethlehem. It was well above the fireworks (over 1500 ft above) and I observed the object stop above Williams township for about 1 minute and then speed toward the fireworks which would be at least 10 miles away in less then 1 minute.
It then began to move toward the mountain range and disappear behind it.
The entire time would have been 3 minutes that I watched this thing with my own eyes.
The 2 people standing there stated they were observing it for 10 minutes and believed it to be "a ufo."

Yes It's True ... We Are Happy to Be Stuck With You
Apologies to Huey Lewis.
On April 27, our family went to court and finalized Levi's adoption. Woohoo! It was, as we had hoped, a total non-event, except that Levi burped really loudly during the actual decree part, so we don't know what the judge really said. (The papers are all in order, though. We're not worried.)
Here's a picture of our family with the judge. Her name is Dixie, which I found completely incongruous with her appearance. I don't know why, but I expected a judge named Dixie to be at least 55 with smoker's voice. Hah!
I don't know if you can see it, but Levi is holding a little pencil with two erasers, shaped like a gavel. The judge gave them as souvenirs. He was allowed to chew on one, but the other is saved for his memory box.
I think I told pretty much everyone I've ever met that the finalization was done, so it didn't surprise me at all the the staff at the CF center knew about it (the social worker up there had in fact asked for a call when it was over). I was surprised, though, when we went up for our regular checkup, the door opened, and everybody on our team came in all at once ... with cake! We saved Levi's for later, and here he is enjoying it at home.
Our little piggy ate about 2/3 of the slice. I didn't let him eat it himself, but I did promise him a nice smash cake on his first birthday.
I've been impressed from the beginning with the Cystic Fibrosis team at the hospital, but they just keep getting better and better. Cake was not necessary, but I was very touched that they wanted to celebrate with us. (Has anyone else had a problem as they age with leaky eyes? I think mine are defective.)
And speaking of CF ... if you haven't had a chance, take a look at my Great Strides site and considering donating if you're able. I'm walking on Sunday May 17 to raise money for CF research. I hope that someday soon CF will stand for Cure Found.

We All Scream For Ice Cream
Paul's current favorite baby video. He's asked several times for this one to make it to blog-dom.
No, I was not around to supervise bite size. Good heavens!
Hmm. I can't figure out what's up with the sound. It's not quite as fun without it. Basically, though, it goes like this:
Paul: Hey Beanie. Do you want some ice cream? Do you like ice cream? Here. Ugh, we dropped it. Here. Are you ready? Mmmm. Do you like Papa's ice cream? Hmm? You must have a papa that loooves you to share his ice cream. Huh? Mmmm. Tell Mama, "I like it! I like the ice cream." (fade to "I like the ice cream" song)

I was 12 years old the first time I was propositioned for sex by a grown man. He was an old man to me, maybe 60. I was with a couple of my girlfriends who were the same age. We had walked to get burgers and grab a taste of the independence all preteens crave.
I sat stuffing fries in my face and laughing with my girls when Carl approached in his uniform with his name embroidered on the shirt pocket. He asked my name and I blurted out some fake name. He complimented me and my friends. We politely but begrudgingly accepted his compliments. We just wanted to eat, laugh and feel like big girls.
"How's $200 sound?" Carl asked. "Huh?" I replied. "We can meet up later for two hundred," he said. Understanding what he meant, I told him how old I was. "Girl, you look at least 15," he said. "I don't do that," I said, my voice ripe with equal parts fear and annoyance. He spent several minutes hovering over my friends and me, trying to convince me that he wanted nothing more than to meet up with me to talk. He was even considerate enough to offer me excuses to give my parents so they'd let me out of the house.
I can't imagine nearly every woman, particularly any Black woman who grew up in the inner city like I did, doesn't have a similar story of their induction into the infamous club of girls violated by grown men. I saw Carl again a couple of years later. He didn't remember me, but he made the same offer. This time, he rode up beside me while I was walking down the street. I tried to ignore him and keep walking, but he parked his car and jumped out. I had to take his number, promising to call him, before he would get back in his car and drive away.
I never told my parents about Carl. In fact, I never mentioned to my parents any of the times — and I confidently estimate at least 20 — I was cornered by grown men who, if conditions permitted, could and would have kidnapped me. It's not because I feared my parents retribution. I feared what they'd do to protect me.
But even as a girl, who somehow fended off advances from men old enough to be father or his father, and even having parents who I knew would kill and die to keep me safe from those kinds of predators, I knew that if one of those men had seized the opportunity to abduct men, resigning me to a fate too horrible to type, the only people who would never stop searching for me, would be my parents who loved me, a few relatives and few other loved ones. I knew a Black girl didn't matter enough to be plastered all over the news for months. I had been learning this for years.
I knew Polly Klaas ' name and story before the first time Carl approached me. The media made sure of that, as they did later with Elizabeth Smart. And as they did again with Natalee Holloway. And as they're doing now with Elizabeth Thomas. When white children go missing, the world takes notice, but when white girls go missing, the world takes action.
I can't tell you how many of my friends, Black girls the same age as Polly or Elizabeth or Natalee went missing. But what I can tell you is that more than one of my friends turned up days or even weeks later and told me what they refused to tell the police and their parents: They had been with grown men. That their bodies had been used and violated (though they never realized it). That they had been gifted sneakers or given $40 or $50, and then ordered to tell their parents and authorities some story about running away.
That's often what sex trafficking looks like for Black girls. It doesn't always look like being sold off into an underworld where she's kept secluded, chained to a bed and raped by men day in and day out. It often looks like men propositioning girls in broad daylight, targeting them because they know they're in neighborhoods crippled by poverty. It looks like men offering these girls a ride. It looks like them gifting the girls with cell phones and lunch money in exchange for sex in the back of cars. It looks like a girl meeting a man online who picks her up from school and passes her around from man to man for nearly a week.
It's easier to believe Black girls run away from home, rather than that they are kidnapped by or cajoled into going with grown men who intend to use them for sex and more often than not, turn them out. Believing Black girls are runaways only feeds the narrative that they are the hyper sexual, "fast ass" girls everyone tells them they are. It's always easier to blame the victim than it is to confront the victimizer.
And that's the line we're being fed. More than a dozen Black girls are missing in D.C., and we're being told that the best solution to keep our girls safe is for them to "just stay home." Yes, instead of law enforcement hunting the predators who make a practice of raping girls and holding them hostage, they're instructing teenagers to just stay home. Not just teen girls, though, Black teen girls.
Imagine a white girl coming up missing and the police publicly declaring that she should've just stayed home. Imagine law enforcement making an assessment of whether a missing white girl was worthy of their attention based on whether they believed she just ran away or not. Imagine 12 white girls coming up missing in the same city without a national outcry. I know. You can't.
As a woman who was a girl raised in the same D.C. streets these missing girls were, I can tell you that no one gives a fuck about Black girls. No one cared when Black and brown girls were turning up missing in the Bronx. No one gives a damn about the missing Black girl from Chicago. No one gives a damn what happened to Relisha Rudd.
Instead, the media would much rather devote pen and camera to updates about what may or may not have happened to Amelia Earhart 80 years ago. Producers are preoccupied with interviewing anybody remotely connected to JonBenet Ramsey's murder. And the Federal Bureau of Investigation is all tied up with locating sports memorabilia.
After all, there are so many more important things than dozens of missing Black girls.

text: Dei Gaztelumendi is a young Spanish artist. He was commissioned recently to create a cover illustration for the comic book magazine Xabiroi, and decided to make a time-lapse video of the process. The result is a fascinating look at how the artist begins with a rough sketch on paper and then builds layer upon layer of detail using the Adobe Creative Suite software. Thirty hours of work are compressed into 11 minutes. "A lot of emotion went into this painting," Gaztelumendi said on his blog, "since I made it as a gift to one of my buddies, who tragically lost a leg in a motorbike accident about a year ago." Gaztelumendi was born in San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain in 1987, and began illustrating children's books as a teenager. He studied animation at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada, where his thesis film was a whimsical tale called Earlth & Moonch. Since graduating with high honors last year, Gaztelumendi has been working as a commercial illustrator, specializing in creature and character art. You can see more of his work at Deisign.com.

Hello world, how's the weather in your towns? This weekend finally was a temperature with ''+'' - we had +1 hehe. So I decided to go to the village with my dad yesterday to spent a time on fresh air before next week's frost.
And today everything that was melting recent days became an ice, so it's the hell on the roads now. I wish it was never snow here. Those people who say that never have a snow where they're living and wish it was are crazy and lucky. I would like to be one of them. Cold weather creates a lot of troubles.
Actually I'm as 100% summer person, even wore my sweater with an anchor print, that reminds me about swimming in a warm sea, beaches and hot sun. This sweater is really warm, so I was dressing like this to early evening before it became colder.
This sweater you cand find HERE:

It is 1914. War with Germany has been declared on August 4th, the Germans have bombed London in October and all able-bodied men are called to join either the regular services or the Territorial Army. There is no conscription but the pressure on young men to enlist is intense. Anyone who doesn't is labelled a "shirker".
Not everyone is, however, of military age or fit enough to go and fight but nevertheless they feel the need to serve as best they can. All over the country groups of people come together to form Volunteer Associations and Wymondham is no exception. Britons have done this many times in previous centuries when faced with the threat of invasion.
A committee is formed and appoints Wymondham solicitor Mr J B Pomeroy as its Secretary; a not surprising choice since the Norwich Volunteers are already up and running and Mr F A Bainbridge, a Norwich solicitor and its secretary is actively encouraging Mr Pomeroy.
In November the Government publishes regulations making it clear that nobody may belong to an Association who is of military age and has failed to enlist "without a good and sufficient reason", a feature that guarantees endless controversy over the following years. Members are required to sign an undertaking that they will enlist for active service if specially called upon. By way of encouragement it is made clear that in the event of capture, members of a properly constituted Corps with the word "Volunteer" in its name will be treated under the Hague Convention as part of the Army whereas non-members will be treated as non-combatants and may be set to work digging trenches and burying the dead.
On the 22nd December 1914 a public meeting is held in the Church School (now the Ada Hart Rooms) chaired by Mr W B Fryer JP and addressed by Mr Edmund Reeve (of Norwich) and the Wymondham Volunteer Training Corps is formed. There is some local objection on the grounds that it is not democratically formed and that some members of the committee are under the age of 38 and thus eligible to join the Regulars. This is swiftly overcome with the help of advice from the Central Association of Volunteer Training Corps in London and training begins.
By March 1915 there are 130 men and 5 drill sergeants on the roll and detachments have been set up in Hethersett, Wicklewood and Barnham Broom. The Corps now begins to find a role for itself and is asked among other tasks to provide guards for the railway in the event of invasion. The Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, the Earl of Leicester now seeks to bring a greater sense of organisation to the enthusiastic amateurs and, calling all the individual corps in the County together forms the Norfolk Volunteers. Regimental Orders are published in the Eastern Daily Press and Wymondham becomes part of C Company 4th Battalion with Mr F A Bainbridge as its Company Commander.
By Whit Monday further detachments have been formed at Hingham and Honingham and the whole Company (about 150 men) parades at Kimberley Park where they were put through various company drill movements by Platoon Commander Fred Bowden. The Press report records that after inspections and speeches, three rousing cheers were then given for the Earl of Kimberley who had not only lent the use of the park but had also provided refreshments and after further "movements" the men marched back to their respective detachment headquarters. The park was thrown open to the public and large numbers on foot and in vehicles were present. This was clearly a very enjoyable day out for all concerned.
Despite Government support for the Volunteer Movement, no central funds, uniform or equipment are provided. Indeed, perhaps there is some scepticism from the Army Council since it rather pointedly writes to tells all the Corps that Kings Regulations provide that they must not wear uniforms or badges or use ranks which suggest any connection with the regular army. As a result, the local volunteers initially wear just a brassard bearing the initials "G.R." Members pay a weekly subscription of one shillng and letters go out to everyone in the area seeking donations. By June 1915 the Corps is receiving quotations for uniform both from local tailors such as George Williamson of Damgate as well as from further afield. A quotation for thirty one shillings and two pence seems to have been accepted.
By June however trench warfare is well established and the threat of imminent invasion seems to be receding. Interest in the Corps begins to wane and Mr Bainbridge, the Company Commander writes to Mr Pomeroy lamenting that numbers get less every drill.
In January 1916 Mr Pomeroy suffers "a nasty accident" and resigns as secretary of the Committee.
And there, tantalisingly, the record ends. Mr Pomeroy's file of papers in the Town Archive stops at that point. But what happened after that? Did the Wymondham Volunteers go o from strength to strength or did they just quietly fold up. Does anyone out there know? If anyone can continue the story do please let us know.

Lakeport Brewery will close its doors April 30.
Workers were summoned to a downtown Hamilton hotel this morning and given the news that their jobs are gone.
The closure affects 143 people - 99 hourly workers, another 22 hourly workers on layoff and 22 salaried staff. Employees have been told not to come back to work until Monday.
In a release, owner Labatt said the decision is "the result of the need to improve operating efficiency in a demanding market and the unexpected excess capacity in (our) brewing network".
Charlie Angelakos, Labbatt vice-president of corporate affairs, said in a release that closing Lakeport is the "only rational business decision available to us".
He said Hamilton is among the brewer's highest-cost plants. London is its most efficient.
Night shift workers at the Burlington Street brewery got notices at 4 a.m. this morning telling them to go to the downtown Crowne Plaza Hotel for a meeting. Off-duty workers were receiving calls as late as 4:45 giving them the same message.
One worker who was at the Crowne Plaza said managers "just turned red and walked away" when asked what was happening.
Staff said the closure is a "stab in the back".
The 143 members of Teamsters Local 938 working at the Burlington Street brewery ratified a three-year contract with Labatt Breweries Canada on Feb. 24, 2008.
Teresa Cascioli - who pioneered the buck-a-beer movement and turned Lakeport into a major success - sold the brewery to Labatt in February, 2007 for $43.5 million.
Workers wondered if they aren't a victim of their own success. Some believe Labatt plans to close the brewery to close out the buck-a-beer market.

sneak peek: emma jeffs
is a UK-based designer, maker, researcher and educator with a focus on textile, surface and product design. Her background blends craft and industry experience and takes a flexible approach to working on a variety of projects, from window films for sale and as custom work to developing a line of neckwear and serving as a business mentor. When her daughter was born, she moved her office into her home to spend more time with her, but now that she is older, Emma has moved out again to find a better balance and separation between work and life. She resides in southwest London in a 1960s home next to a large park. The style of her home is a constantly evolving collection of all the things she loves. Thanks, Emma, and thanks to for the photos!—
Image above: Our kitchen; we did this all ourselves. When we moved in we had no kitchen — not even a sink! My partner is a chef, so lots of work surfaces are a must and everything has its place. You can see a little piece of my Otto window film, which is stuck onto the glass in the door frame. You can also see in this pic that we still have to finish bo in the oven!
Image above: A snippet from my daughter's room, including the paper birds I picked up before she was born. They cast wonderful shadows. My Otto window film is stuck onto an old cupboard that I didn't have time to paint before she was born. The basket-size teacup I got from a trade show I exhibited at. A polystyrene manufacturing company had produced them to demonstrate how polystyrene could be moulded. I think they should put it into production, as everyone who sees it loves it. When my daughter was a little baby, she loved sitting in it.
See more of Emma's London home after the jump . . .
Image above: This is an old library card drawer set. My partner bought it and put it in our kitchen. Each drawer contains a different kitchen knife.
Image above: I saw this shelf idea in a café and convinced my partner that we could recreate it in our kitchen. It's great; it keeps all our oils, spices etc. within easy access and the worktop clear for cooking.
Image above: Living room with various artworks from friends and family. All my family are artists who work in print in some form. I also have framed some Kaffe Fassett fabrics. They remind me of my childhood, as my mother was big fan. The rug is from Ikea and so is the sofa (but I changed the legs).
Image above: Our bedroom with my wall stickers produced for the V&A museum.
Image above: A riot of colour and pattern. I think this photo highlights my passion for pattern and colour . . . and pumps & clogs!
Image above: My notice board changes all the time, and the collection of cards are inspirations for colour. Books — you can never have to many.
Image above: This collection of tin toys were my late mother's; they are very precious to me. The tin cable car (on the top) was one she bought for me when we lived in San Francisco.
Image above: A snippet of an area in my studio at home. Fabric curtains from Ikea hiding my enormous fabric collection. On the wall are some test strips of my wall ribbon product, Gingham and Lace. You can stick them horizontally or vertically. I hope to produce more of these this year.
Image above: We built this glass extension on the house. It is lovely to be able to see directly into the garden throughout the year. The room is mainly used as a play space for my little girl, and sometimes it becomes a dance floor for our summer garden parties. When we moved here, the garden was just a patch of dirt. I have slowly transformed it, building the timber planters and laying the paving and then planting. I was not a gardener at all until we bought this house, and nearly all the plants were cuttings given to me by friends and family. I have loved seeing the plants establishing themselves. I am now hooked on growing and gardening.

Lonzo Ball: I'm a better team leader than Washington's Markelle Fultz
Lonzo Ball is starting to sound a lot like his dad, LaVar Ball.
The former UCLA star said he is a better player than Washington prospect Markelle Fultz, citing his leadership skills.
"Markelle's a great player, but I feel I'm better than him," Ball said on ESPN 710 LA. "I think I can lead a team better than him. Obviously he's a great scorer - he's a great player, so I'm not taking that away from him."
Ball declared for the NBA draft after the Bruins were ousted from the NCAA Tournament, where he and Fultz are considered top prospects.
However, Ball and UCLA crushed the Huskies both times they met this season by at least thirty points.
Even though Fultz averaged 23.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, Washington only won nine games this season. Ball posted 7.7 assists per game and 14.6 points, but UCLA fared much better with a 27-3 mark.
Both are freshman, but UCLA's success could give Ball an edge in the upcoming draft.

Analysis by Michael Goldfarb: 15 years since Dayton Peace Agreement
"In its time, the Dayton Agreement was a great achievement. It was only subsequently that its greatest flaw — the creation of an entity called the Republica Srpska — would turn into a drag anchor on the whole country. In an interview on the fifth anniversary of the agreement, Holbrooke to his enormous credit acknowledged that allowing the Serbs — the aggressors in the conflict — to have this little sliver of Bosnia was a mistake. Bosnian Serbs have had no incentive to re-integrate into the country nor take part in genuine reconciliation efforts." - continue reading @ Global Post.

Oxlade-Chamberlain fell to the turf in the opening minutes of the game at Hillsborough and was nursing his hamstring as he limped off.
The winger looked distraught as he left the pitch, although he reportedly felt a 'tightness' in his hamstring and the injury was described as precautionary.
He was replaced by Walcott, who was then also forced to leave the field with a calf problem.
Arsenal are already short of bodies on the right flank after Aaron Ramsey suffered a pulled hamstring in the Champions League win over Bayern Munich.
The Welshman is not expected to return until after the next international break, which puts him in line to face West Brom on November 21.
He will certainly miss games against Swansea and Bayern Munich, as well as the north London derby on November 8.
If Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott spend time on the sidelines Arsene Wenger could turn to one of his younger players to start on the right.
Joel Campbell, Alex Iwobi and Ismael Bennacer are all candidates to fill that void after they featured against Sheffield Wednesday.

Safe Routes to Schools
- Details
- Published: Thursday, July 17, 2014
Grant Elementary School students will benefit from pedestrian safety improvements in the neighborhood.

Alice In Wonderland Expansion
Date: Sunday, 08.05.2012, 7:40 AM | Message #
Group: Administrators
Hello, and welcome to our forum. This message is a real sincere idea for expansion in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
With the release of two Disney films on Alice in Wonderland, I believe that we need to honor this move. The franchise of Alice attractions have only spread as far as the traditional "Mad Tea Party" attraction at many Disney Parks.
So, I believe that an addition should be added to the Magic Kingdom, to more fully immerse the guest into the story of Alice in Wonderland. This addition begins with a story...
"Ello, My name is Alice and I would like to invite you to go on an adventure with me..." Throughout the films and the novel, the reader (in our case, guest) is immersed in an experience behind a very mischevious little girl named Alice. She accidentally falls down a rabbit hole and into a world of adventure. In the proposed attraction, we are going to immerse the guest in a new take of the traditional story. Alice begins by welcoming the guest in a small garden area (near the infamous rabbit hole) to brief the guest on their incoming adventure trip. As Alice nears the end of the speech, she tells the audience that she was expecting Mr. Rabbit. Suddenly, a strange note floats in from aside(not visible from audience, only by alice) and she reads it aloud to the audience. It is a randsom note from the red queen, saying that she has kidnapped the rabbit, and that he was finally right on time for her devious plot. Alice tells the guests that she needs someone to accompany her to find the rabbit before it's too late. She motions to the guests to follow her to the rabbit hole and into Wonderland...
As soon as Alice disappears from view, the garden begins to grow more and more sinister, with the color and life disappearing. Suddenly, a clap of thunder erupts and a flash of lightning accompanies it. Slowly, side doors begin to open as a small amound (sprinkle) of rain begins to fall upon the guests. The guests will begin entering the boarding area, which happens to be a small covered area in the garden (such as a large tree or shed)
Ride story beginning---
Each ride train is new in creation, with a small pane of 'special' glass (explained later) on the front. One row of seating (approx. 3-4 people per row) sits behind the glass. {There will be many of these one row trains on site running simutaneously} Cast members dressed up as wonderland creatures greet the guests and lead them into the vehicles. The vehicles will be equipped with seatbelts, and a shoulder restraint (restraint equipped with surround sound, similar to rockin'roller coaster) As the ride takes off, the cars begin the journey by traveling through a clever maze of trees and high shrubs. Soon, a LARGE tree with a hole into the ground comes into view. Suddenly, from aside, a digital Alice walks from a cleverly hidden screen on the side and onto the glass in front of the guest, appearing that she is leading them to Wonderland. She gestures and tells them to follow her as she jumps into the rabbit hole in front of them. The vehicle rolls forward and gently sneaks a glimpse into the hole, only to be caused by the force of gravity to fall into a slow spiral into an abyss of darkness of magical roots....
What's Going on?---
Above, we left off as the rollercoaster car is plummeting into a 90 degree drop. This is very critical to the ride since Alice is known for FALLING down a hole. So, we can make the assumption that a steep drop, or "fall" is needed for effect. In the drop, I propose that it will be a slow, twisting hang. What does this mean? I am referring to an illusion that could be pulled off, using wind effects, lighting, and the 'special' glass that is in front of the riders. Like Space Mountain, we would pull this off by combining darkness with air flow, so to add the effect of a deep, plummet into a hole. The car would slowly be lowered down a spiral of straight-down track and then dropped to continue the path into the "wonderland" areas of the attraction. During this plunge, a animated digital Alice will be shown on the glass folling in sync with the ride vehicle. This creates a even further effect of falling.
What is this 'special' glass?---
This special glass I keep referring to works something like a tv, except with transparent glass. This keeps the effect of some sort of windshield for Disney to utilize for special effects. This glass will, in !!theory!!, use a sort of tetris, or connect four approach, except with light. This is something that I came up with, but it may not even be possible. Keep in mind that I have yet to begin working on some sort of model that demonstrates my theory in this. If you have any wisdom to add on this transparent screen, please comment below. Thanks!
Back to the ride---
We have just entered the next area, which would be the traditional 'growing & shrinking room' mentioned in the Wonderland films and novel. The coaster will enter the room and immediately enter a banked, angled up, helix. This will slow the coaster from the velocity reached when being 'dropped' from the chain/wire that allowed the coaster to decend through the rabbit hole. The coaster will curve around the room several times, giving the rider a chance to see a holographic (using the same illusion technology as Haunted Mansion) Alice grow and shrink to fit through the miniature door. The ride slows to a near crawl, being propelled with motors to keep it at a steady speed (like a slow, dark ride) and then it exits the room, like Alice, and into the outside world of Wonderland...

text: Fellow Tesla fans, Thought I'd pass along a tip after a brief moment of panic last night. During my car's 24k service the tech replaced the key as he said it wasn't working properly. That's the good news. As is standard practice, you supply both keys when you come in for service. The bad news is that they were on the same keychain. Now you're probably wondering why that's a problem? The issue is that the "new" key works to unlock the doors if you depress the physical button on the key. But it doesn't work with either the proximity sensors in the car to open the doors NOR does it work to allow you to drive away. The older key seemed to work. Making matters worse, I had left the keys together as I was heading to a dinner before I got home and had both in my pocket. For some reason on the way back I decided to put one of the keys away in my bag, which is shielded. I placed the other in my pocket. Car doesn't open. I realized I could open the doors finally with the physical button and tried the other key and drove home. Upon getting home I called Ownership: we tried resetting the security module, swapping batteries between keys, and isolating if it was a proximity sensor on one side or the whole car. It turns out the key is defective in the most bizarre way; it acts as if the battery is dead yet works just fine with physical button presses to open the door. If your key does get into this failure state, holding it in the place documented in the manual for starting when the fob batter is dead will work here as well. I suspect the tech didn't notice it as they probably had both keys on one chain, so the handles auto-presented and they likely just tested the buttons on both keys. Caveat emptor: that won't catch all failure states, as you can see above. There's a workaround, but it was a little unsettling at first. Hope that's helpful for someone! Matt

I'm not sure where to start with this. I've been feeling like my creativity is kind of nil. I can sew, and I'm fast and efficient (and crooked) but I'm not particularly canny about creating my own patterns or anything like that. Except for sometimes which I tend not to count(not sure why).
I was on this very fun site in wonder and awe at all the creativity and sheer originality that the woman pours into her clothing and textiles. I was thinking, "why can't I do that?" which is actually kind of silly because I CAN do it, and what's more, I do.
To prove it to myself, I have here an image I tried to do a pdf link with, but absolutely failed, so instead I made it a jpg, which should be clickable and printable, but if not, sigh. I tried. I'm sharing my creativity to prove it happened.
At any rate, this is a decal I created when I was trying to think of something to put on a onesie that would be wintery without being snowy. If that makes sense. I was thinking ravens, bicycles, but then the Hobbit, which comes out in winter, therefore is wintery, has the poem/song that fixated me for so long that I transposed it and made my children play it on the piano. If only I could figure out the upload pdf thing then I could share that too, as though someone else in the net is interested in my simplified piano version. Anyway. This is in the same vein. I originally designed this in adult size, and I sized down for the newborn suit, of course, but I have no idea what size it is here. It's embarrassing how little I know.
This is the completed onesie on the newborn. It didn't fit terribly well then, but now it's perfect at 3 months. I always make things larger than newborn to start. This baby has been the sweetest, smallest baby I've ever had. He actually fit into newborn clothing for a few days.
Also wearing a goblin hat. Not mine though. Pattern is from Ottobre 4/2007.
I feel like I've gone about this creating thing all backwards. When I was young, I exhaled creativity, but I lacked skill. Now I'm all skill and no art, at least that's how I feel. Maybe as I go forward I can be a little bit of both. Happy thought.
Any inspiration you'd like to share but can't?

As Titans receiver Kenny Britt embarks on the final season of his rookie contract, whether he gets another one from the team will depend largely on what he does now.
His problems flow from a rash of off-field issues (which have subsided in recent months) and chronic knee problems dating back to a torn ACL suffered early in the 2011 season, just as he was becoming one of the top wideouts in the game.
"Kenny is healthy and he's doing good. He looks way different," receiver Kendall Wright said recently, via Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. "He took his offseason serious and went and got his knees right."
Britt sounds a bit strident regarding the reality that the burden is on him to show that he can get it done.
"I don't believe I have to prove anything," Britt said. "There's things that I would like to prove — that I can be the receiver that I was two years ago. And I am going to be the receiver I was two years ago. I'm focusing more on football than I ever have in my life the last couple months. So I'm really excited to see what I can do this year."
Teammate Nate Washington sees the difference in Britt's perspective.
"It is beyond football for him right now," Washington said. "I think he is doing a lot better at home, staying out of trouble, and his focus is totally different. He has realized where he can be in this league. So he has been taking time out to work a little harder and do what he has to do on and off the field. Hopefully it all pays off for him. We'll keep pushing him in the right direction."
If that happens, the Titans likely will keep him around. Or, at a minimum, someone else will reward him.
"I feel good, and feel I am in the best shape I have been in," Britt said. "I am not too worried about the contract. I am just worried about staying healthy."
Staying healthy will be one of the keys to getting the contract. Along with staying out of trouble.

Columbus, Ohio – The Ohio State wrestling team (5-3, 0-0 Big Ten) played host to the 2005 Buckeye Duals Saturday at St. John Arena. The Buckeyes swept four duals on the day against Clarion, Bloomsburg, Kent State and Cleveland State. Overall, 14 teams competed in the 2005 version of the Buckeye Duals. Fellow Big Ten squads Illinois, ranked No. 2/3 in the country, and Northwestern, also rated in the Top 25, joined the Buckeyes with undefeated 3-0 records for the day. Both of Ohio State's nationally-ranked wrestlers finished the day undefeated. No. 3-ranked J.D. Bergman won four matches and No. 14 T.J. Enright also claimed three wins and a forfeit.
In the opener vs. Drexel, the Buckeyes jumped out to a 6-0 advantage and claimed the last five matches of the dual to post a 21-10 win. To open the bout, freshman Jason Johnstone and junior Steve Wolery combined for a pair of decision wins at 141 and 149. Drexel rallied to overtake Ohio State by a 10-6 count after a decision at 157, a major decision at 165 and another decision at 174. Sophomore Alex Picazo brought the Buckeyes back to within 10-9 with an 11-8 decision at 184. The Buckeyes then regained the lead at 12-10 with a decision win at 197 from Bergman. Freshman Kirk Nail helped Ohio State continue its win streak through the HWT match with a 7-3 decision to up the OSU advantage to 15-10. Following another decision win by Nathan Costello at 125, Enright closed out the Ohio State victory with a 12-5 triumph, setting the final score at 21-10.
In the second match, Ohio State and Bloomsburg traded three-match win streaks to open the dual before Enright decided the match with a 7-2 win in the final bout for a 18-17 OSU win. Ohio State freshmen Jason Johnstone and Keegan Mueller each won decisions at 141 and 157 and combined with another decision by Wolery at 149 to start the match with a 9-0 lead. Bloomsburg stormed back, taking a 14-9 edge with a technical fall at 165, a decision at 174 and a fall at 184. Bergman got the Buckeyes back in the win column with a 4-2 decision over Bloomsburg's Chad Hoare, who is ranked among the Top 20 in the nation. HWT Kirk Nail moved the Buckeyes ahead for the second time at 15-14 with his second decision win of the day. Bloomsburg retook the lead with a decision at 125 before Enright sealed Ohio State's third win this season.
Following a bye in Session III, Ohio State fell behind Kent State by a 9-0 count from 141 to 157. Freshman Brian Baldridge registered the Buckeyes' first win over the Flashes with a 3-1 decision at 165. Augustson followed with a 15-5 major decision at 174 to cut the KSU advantage to 9-7. Following a loss at 184 by Picazo, Bergman recorded victory No. 3 on the day with a 9-1 major decision, using a late nearfall in the third period to reach the 8-point margin. With the score at 13-11, Nail faced Kent State's Tomas Rodrigues, a nationally-ranked wrestler at HWT. Nail dropped a tight 2-1 decision to Rodriguez to set the match at 16-11 before Ohio State benefited from a pair of KSU forfeits at 125 and 133. With the forfeitures, the Buckeyes moved to 3-0 on the day with a 23-16 win.
In the finale against Cleveland State, the Buckeyes enjoyed a 15-3 lead after the first five matches with three decisions and a fall. Johnstone opened the dual with a 10-7 decision to finish the day 2-2 before fellow freshman Ryan Needle pulled out a 3-2 decision at 149. After a loss at 157, Baldridge scored his second win of the event with his first fall of the season at 165. Agustson also registered his second victory of the day with a late takedown in the first period overtime for an 8-6 decision. Picazo also extended to an extra session at 184, but quickly tallied a takedown less than 20 seconds into overtime to score a 10-8 win and an 18-3 OSU advantage. Bergman bumped the Ohio State lead to 24-3 with is fifth fall of the season at the 5:39 mark of the match. To finish the dual, the Buckeyes got a decision from Nail at HWT, the first major decision of the season from Costello and a fall by Enright for the final 33-3 victory.
Next week, Ohio State heads to Pittsburgh for a dual at 7:30 p.m. Friday and finishes the weekend road trip with a match at Cornell at 1p.m. Sunday.

Discover the inner beauty of your skin with MegaPeel skin care treatments. MegaPeel uses crystal microdermabrasion, the most natural way to regain the youthful appearance of your skin without chemicals, lasers or surgery. Since there are no harsh chemicals, there is no extended period of irritation and redness. MegaPeel microdermabrasion is ideal for anyone who wants to improve skin appearance and reverse signs of aging.
Whether you have scarring from acne, wrinkles from sun damage, age spots or other pigment problems, MegaPeel can make a beautiful difference in your skin. MegaPeel is the safest and most effective method available for wrinkle reduction, skin exfoliation and pigment correction. Our microdermabrasion skin care equipment also rejuvenates skin by removing the dull, lifeless, sun-damaged epidermis and stimulating the production of new skin cells and collagen.
The MegaPeel crystal microdermabrasion system provides superior treatment results. Most MegaPeel microdermabrasion patients see improvement after just a few treatments.
Our microdermabrasion skin care equipment uses a hand piece to gently vacuum crystals onto the surface of the skin and resurface the superficial layers. As the crystals contact the skin, they remove old, dead and flaking skin cells, exfoliating the surface and polishing the skin beneath.
As we age, changes occur in the tissues of the face, bringing about a tired look. The skin loses elasticity, fat collects in the jowls and under the chin, and the facial muscles become lax. Sun exposure and heredity can also contribute to the aging process.
Face lift surgery in Philadelphia can dramatically turn back the clock on visible signs of aging, creating a noticeable improvement in your appearance. The goal of face lifting is to provide a fresh, rested and youthful appearance for the patient. The procedure improves sags, bulges and deep folds by repositioning tissue. Many patients comment that they look 10 to 15 years younger after surgery.
Yes, a face lift can help turn back the clock of aging, but it can't stop it. To help maintain a young looking appearance following a face lift, minor wrinkles and other signs of aging can be treated through skin resurfacing, BOTOX® Cosmetic or other injectable fillers. Dr. Greco specializes in the following facial enhancements that complement the face lift procedure:
TNS Essential Serum is an all-in-one anti-aging product that improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as the overall texture of the skin. This unparalleled anti-aging serum is the first to combine the benefits of the patented growth factor serum TNS Recovery Complex® with potent antioxidants, peptides and other innovative anti-aging ingredients to regenerate your skin.
Wrinkle reduction is best achieved by replenishing your skin's lost volume. Upon injection, the calcium-based microspheres and gel in RADIESSE immediately provide the volume and lift needed to diminish signs of aging. But the benefits don't end there. RADIESSE goes on to act as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. This process continues for several months, which extends the initial effect of RADIESSE. The natural results last a year or more in many patients, which is why more and more cosmetic surgeons are choosing RADIESSE. It's also very popular for cheek augmentation, which can improve the appearance of smile lines and create a more youthful facial contour.
Restylane is the first and only dermal filler approved by the FDA for use in the lips. Restylane can now be injected for lip augmentation in patients age 21 and older. Because of his extensive experience, Dr. Greco has been selected by Medicis to instruct other doctors on the aesthetic technique of injecting Restylane for lip enhancement.
XEOMIN, which received FDA approval in July for use on frown lines, is now available from Dr. Greco. He is one of the first doctors to receive access to XEOMIN because of his status as one of the premiere injectors in the country. XEOMIN is different that BOTOX and Dysport® because bacterial proteins that are present in the other products have been removed from XEOMIN. This may be beneficial for patients who did not respond well or developed immunity to the other products.

Welcome to professorsavings.com, we teach finance basics. Today we will teach you what stocks are.
Hi I'm Rayfil Wong. We hope these investment concepts will help you be a better investor.
A stock is a share of the ownership of a company. As the owner of a stock, the stockholder, you have a claim on a company's assets and earnings.
Supposed Professor Savings is starting a company, Pies R Us, he needs $100,000 but doesn't want to borrow from a bank.
Instead, Professor Savings invests $10,000 of his own money and finds nine other investors who are willing to invest for $10,000 each. In return, he gives each investor a certificate that represents 10% of his company.
Each certificate represents 10% of the company's assets: the building, the pie pans and the baking materials and 10% of any future earnings.
After one year, the company is doing well and the company's total value increases to $200,000. This means each share of the company is now worth $20,000 – two hundred thousand dollars divided by 10 shares. That's twice the original $10,000.
The original investors can sell their stock in the company to other investors for a 100% profit. This is how stocks work. Stocks are bought and sold daily on the major exchanges.

Tired of tying up presses and personnel as you try to emulate the output of your printing equipment? Discover some powerful methods you can use to improve color matching with any CMYK inkset, substrate, or line count on any printing device.
By Mike Ruff
Dot-gain curves in highlights and extreme shadows and density curves in the quarter-tones, midtones, and shadows correct the color but won't sacrifice detail of the image. G7 does the same thing, and it also creates a visual appearance of ISO 12647-2. Should the solid colors and substrate differ from the intended target appearance, the NPDC of G7 will ignore the highlights and solids and correct the balance of the image to produce a consistent color appearance. If your target's solid densities and substrate are the same as your print, then dot-gain curves and hybrid curves will yield almost identical numbers. However, if the color of the ink and/or the substrate are dramatically different from the color target—possibly an international color standard—then there's a big advantage in using both density and dot-percentage data combined to create a hybrid curve for the printing device. Doing so corrects the effects of colored substrates like styrene, corrugated plastic, gray cast vinyl, and foam boards. When we apply both sets of data, we adjust the color in the highlights and shadows for better detail with a dot-gain curve and adjust the quarter tones, mid-tones, and three-quarter tones for more accurate color with an absolute-density curve. Therefore, when we mix the two different methods of curving our tonal range, we can have great de-tail and more accurate color. We create a hybrid curve.

Cat bites can be VERY lethal to flyers and they need to be started on antibiotics immediately, if wounded or not.
"Cats carry Pasteurella multocida as part of the normal oropharyngeal flora within the mouth. This is one of the reasons that a deep cat bite is a worrisome injury in humans and results typically in abscesses in other cats. It has often been said that a cat only has to sneeze on a bird to potentially infect it with Pasteurella multocida that is deadly for the bird."
Even if unhurt, the saliva from cats carries the Pasturella bacteria that can cause death; so a prophylactic course of antibiotics needs to be given. (Amoxicillin or Trimeth/Sulfa is good for cat bites. Baytril does not help flyers.)
Untreated flyers don't live more than 2 or 3 days, if that long. If you do not have access to a vet, contact a local rehabber immediately for help: viewtopic.php?t=1308

For many Computer users, having a Network in their home is becoming common thanks to the simplicity and low cost of setting up a Wireless Network (no more running CAT 5 cables through your walls and floors…yeaa!!).
With this convenience, comes many advantages such as sharing files and folders between Computers. But browsing or manually connecting to all those shares can be a hassle, especially if they are password protected.
Instead, you can easily setup connecting to shares automatically when logging on to your Windows computer.
To have Windows automatically connect to shares on your Network, we'll need to create a drive mapping (or several if you connect to more than one share).
Drive mappings are great for shares that are password protected since you can setup them up to authenticate automatically.
Start by double clicking on My Computer (XP), or Computer (Vista). Then click on Tools from the menu and select Map Network Drive…
NOTE: Screen shots are from XP and will look similar with Vista.
If you know the Computer and Share name, just enter it in the Folder: field using the following format:
Or you can browse for the Computer by clicking on the Browse… button.
To automatically connect during logon, check the box next to Reconnect at logon.
If you want to use a specific letter to map the drive (other than the one selected by default), click on the arrow next to the Drive: field and make your selection.
NOTE: any existing drive mappings in use, will not appear in the drop down list.
For shares that are protected with a password, click on the link in the phrase Connect using a different name.
In the Connect As… dialog box, enter the username and password of the remote computer. Make sure you append the Computer name before the username as shown in the screen shot below.
Click OK when finished.
When you have completed all the steps, click Finish. to connect and map the drive.
Next time you boot your Computer or logon, the share will automatically connect and create the drive mapping. No need to keep authenticating
To view the share, open My Computer (XP) or Computer (Vista).
TIP: You can also create a shortcut to the drive mapping on your Desktop. When the Create shortcut wizard runs, select the Browse button and expand Computer then select the drive letter.
If you no longer need to map the drive, just right click on the drive letter and select Disconnect.
Using drive mappings is not restricted to just Windows Computers, you can create mappings to any Linux Computer (running Samba) also.
For shares that are not password protected, it's not necessary to create a drive mapping, since you can just create a shortcut to the share on your desktop. But it can be useful if you run scripts or have programs and applications that need to access the share. Also you won't need to browse the Network anymore if you don't use shortcuts.

When a television host fakes his own disappearance to boost ratings, the results are comic, sometimes tragic and completely unexpected.
Elina Psykou makes her directorial debut with this funny and surrealism-laced film where Antonis Paraskevas (Christos Stergioglou), a beloved national television host, goes missing. Gone. In an act designed to boost his own ratings, he fakes his own disappearance.
The move backfires when the Greek financial crisis (following the adoption of the Euro in 2001) eclipses Paraskevas' own headline.Ironically, he finds himself watching the greatest news story of his time unfold from an isolation of his own engineering.

Here is the sixth batch of free downloads in our series of record label profiles. This time, we bring you West London-based label Distiller Records, which was formed in late 2008. Distiller has also recently set up a publishing arm, with some of its writers tracks included on the latest La Roux album.
So without further ado, here are five free tracks from Distiller.
Preview the EP here. Download at the end
Sound Of Guns – 'Rack And Ruin (alternative version)'
Sound Of Guns are from Liverpool, but they're not your typical Liverpool band. Frontman Andrew Metcalfe says: "We didn't have any boundaries – I love the Coral, and the La's and bands like that – but in terms of the music we wanted to make, that sound didn't really appeal to us. I think people were expecting this typical Liverpool band, and that's why people became interested so quickly, people seem to connect with the choruses."
Sparrow And The Workshop – 'Tired Of This Town'
Here's an exclusive new track from the Glaswegian-based band. They'll be releasing another new single, 'Black To Red', on November 1st, and it will be the first new song to be released since their album 'Crystals Fall'. The band will be releasing a new album early next year.
White Belt Yellow Tag – 'It's A Long Way, Don't You Fall Behind (Dan Austin mix)'
White Belt Yellow Tag's debut album, 'Methods' is out now. Self-produced and mixed by Chris Potter (The Verve, Blur), the album includes the original version of this track and 11 other songs recorded in South Yorkshire in the summer of 2009. If you're in New York, you can catch the band at this year's CMJ Festival.
Fortune – 'Under The Sun (Psychemagik mix)'
This electro trio from France brings an interesting mix of high art and mainstream pop, and they first launched their new project alongside Hot Chip and VV Brown at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Thomas Mars of Pheonix says of the band: "Their music is almost like a candy shop, everything is very sweet, the whole thing is very fresh. It's like a mix between classical music and modern pop music."
The Chemists – 'Kill'
This free track comes from Bristol-based band The Chemists. They've just finished up a UK tour with Fun Lovin' Criminals and are currently in the studio working on their follow-up to their 2009 debut album, 'The Theories of Dr. Lovelock'.

"The mechanical aspect of creating a thin automatic has its own set of particular difficulties, but one of the challenges is to pair this type of movement design with a sense of visual depth within the movement—a central tenet of Richard Mille's approach. The extreme use of skeletonisation in the RM 67-01 offers many clues in this respect."
The case of this new icon in the collection represented the first time that the tonneau shape has been created in an extra-flat form, making it the most sleek model of the tonneau shaped Richard Mille timepieces.
Its refined dimensions require more time to create than other similar cases in the collection, adding up to almost 6 hours of pure machining time, not counting weeks of preliminary preparation such as the 68 different stamping operations required for the bezel, caseband and back bezel.
After completion of this machining phase, the watch case will undergo brushing and polishing, all executed by hand, then assembly with sapphire glass and sealants to undergo a preliminary water resistance testing, before being disassembled and undergoing a final quality control. Only then will the movement be mounted within its subtle lines.
All of these operations represent a total of another 8 hours of work, making the Richard Mille tonneau case one of the most time consuming and complex cases created in Switzerland today.
Automatic skeletonised winding movement with hours, minutes, date and function indicator.
Microblasted grade 5 titanium with grey electroplasma treatment gives great rigidity to the baseplate, as well as precise surface flatness which is essential for the perfect functioning of the gear train.
Bridges are also in grade 5 titanium, microblasted and for the first time at Richard Mille, black electroplasma treated. The skeletonised baseplate and the bridges were subjected to separate and extensive validation tests to ensure optimal strength requirements.
Semi-instantaneous, placed in a vertical aperture at 5 o'clock.
In a manner similar to a car's gearbox, the function indicator allows one to see the winding, date setting and hand setting positions as the crown is pulled out.
Each position is indicated via a hand at 2 o'clock displaying the following functions:
W (Winding) – D (Date) – H (Hand Setting).
Circa 50 hours (+/- 10%).
This permits better control of the torque applied to the screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well.
(5 hours per revolution instead of 7.5 hours)
This type of barrel has the following advantages:
38.70 x 47.52 mm
Thickness: 7.75 mm
Steel parts
Variable inertia, free sprung balance
It guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shock and also during movement assembly and disassembly, hence better chronometric results over time. The regulator index is eliminated and a more accurate and repeatable adjustment is possible thanks to 4 small adjustable weights located directly on the balance.
Optimal gear teeth profile
The entire going train of the watch, the primary transmitter of power throughout the movement, utilises a special profile for the teeth of the wheels using a 20° pressure angle. This system equalises any discrepancies that might arise between the centre of each wheel, for instance during thermal changes and normal use, and promotes an excellent transmission of torque to the balance wheel, thus supporting excellent chronometric characteristics.

I remember a neighborhood that I lived in long ago and the first time we were invited across the street to join our neighbors for dinner. These particular neighbors owned a restaurant and he was as Greek as they come. I decided that I would bring Spanacopita to dinner. One of the other guests remarked that she thought that I was pretty nervy to be bringing Spanacopita to this particular house. I really hadn't thought anything of it until she mentioned it.
This was the beginning of a long friendship borne of a common appreciation for good food and good wine. We shared many meals together, simple and extravagant, and from them I learned to make several Greek dishes. Moussaka was a Greek dish that I tackled on my own, though, and he said that mine was better than his mother's.
They would often go to visit YaYa, as they called his mother, driving for about an hour both ways. When they returned it was almost certain that they would be bringing dolmades made by YaYa's loving hands and they would often share them with us. We would eat them cold with our fingers as a snack and they were usually accompanied by beer. It was a good combination.
Over the years venues change and people come and go but the memories linger. For me, these memories most often seem to take the form of meals shared. I haven't seen either of them for many years now but when I saw that this month's Daring Cooks challenge was to make dolmades, I was excited because this is one of the Greek dishes that I had never made. So, I know you are wondering, did I make a dish worthy of sharing at a Greek's dinner table? All I can say is…YaYa would have been proud.
Grape Leaves Stuffed with Ground Meat and Rice
with Apricot Tamarind Sauce/ Yebra
Adapted from Aromas of Aleppo by Poopa Dweck and Michael J. Cohen. Published by Harper Collins, 2007
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
1 pound (455 gm) ground (minced)
beef moose
1/3 cup (80 ml) (2 1/3 oz) (65 gm) short grain rice
1 teaspoon (5 ml) (6 gm) all spice
2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon (5 ml) (6 gm) cinnamon
1 teaspoon (5 ml) (3 gm) kosher (coarse) salt
¼ teaspoon (1¼ ml) (1½ gm) white pepper
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup (5½ oz) (150 gm) pine nuts **optional**
Soak rice in water, enough to cover, for 30 minutes. Combine meat, rice, allspice, vegetable oil, cinnamon, salt, white pepper, onions, garlic and if desired, pine nuts, in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
If using grape leaves preserved in brine, put them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them to remove the salt. Make sure that the water penetrates well between the layers and leave them soaking for about twenty minutes and then change the water a time or two using fresh cold water. If using fresh leaves, plunge a few at a time in boiling water for a few seconds only, until they become limp, and lift them out.
Ingredients for assembly:
1 pound (455 gm) hashu/filling (see recipe above)
36 preserved grape leaves, stems trimmed, drained, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
6 dried apricots – or more if you desire
3 tablespoons (45 ml) tamarind concentrate
¼ cup (60 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon (15 ml) (9 gm) kosher (coarse) salt
- Place a grape leaf on a flat surface, vein side up. You can trim the little stem if you would like.
- Place about two teaspoons (10 ml) of the filling in the center of the leaf, near the stem edge.
- Roll the leaf end to end, starting from the stem edge. As you roll, fold the sides of the leaf in toward the center. The leaf should resemble a small cigar, about 2 to 2 1/2 inches (50 mm to 65mm) long.
- Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.(You can freeze the stuffed grape leaves at this point. Just line a baking sheet with wax paper. When firmly frozen, transfer to an airtight plastic bag place back in the freezer.)
- In a medium saucepan put in the vegetable oil and then place the filled grape leaves in the pot with the seam at the bottom.
- Place apricots in between the stuffed grape leaves. Cover and cook over low heat for 5- 8 minutes or until the grape leaves begin to sweat.
- Using all three tablespoons, place a little of the tamarind concentrate over the rolls.
- Combine lemon juice, salt, and water and then add to pan, filling it ¾ full.
- Weigh down the grape leaves with a heat proof plate or board to prevent them from unraveling. Cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes. Alternatively, place the saucepan in an oven preheated to moderate 350°F/180°C and cook for an hour.
- Spoon cooking liquid over the grape leaves occasionally. You will know they are done, when the grape leaves are neither soupy nor dry.
- Tilt pan sideways over serving platter, allowing the grape leaves to tumble out. Try not to handle them individually to reduce unraveling. Alternately you can try spooning them out very gently.
Tamarind paste can be found at Asian, Mexican or Indian grocers. You can also find the pods (a little more difficult) and make the paste yourself. It is akin to a sweet/tangy tea flavor.
Blog-checking lines: Our October 2010 hostess, Lori of Lori's Lipsmacking Goodness, has challenged The Daring Cooks to stuff grape leaves. Lori chose a recipe from Aromas of Aleppo and a recipe from The New Book of Middle Eastern Food.

I have chosen to work with KHL Printers in Singapore for this book project. They are a rather large printer in Singapore, with huge facilities in the Loyang area.
The pdf files we supplied are color separated into CMYK and plates made for each of the component colours. The plates are made direct from computer, in a process called CTP (Computer to Plate). Here is the cyan plate coming out of the machine:
The plates are metalic, and made by the CTP imaging device which leaves reverse imprint of each colour. One plate will print 4 pages in one go, and by folding and cutting, will form a signature of 8 pages, with both sides printed.
Each plate is then loaded in their Manroland Offset Press - the Roland 700 HiPrint...an impressive, industrial looking machine:
Printed using environmental friendly soy based pigment inks:
View of the offset machine from the other side of the machine, showing the loading of cut sheets:
The paper path, each plate is loaded into the machine, and colors printed in turn. Note from dark (black background) to light (yellow foreground) are laid on the paper. The first module is a coating module, which in the case of my book is not used.
The printer lays inks in dots, and each of the four colours are printed offset an an angle to each other...hence the name offset printer. The resulting image is a series of dots in each colour, interacting to give us almost all colours possible. It is important for perfect registration of each of the colours, and the dots are not visible. I inspected the print with a 5X loupe, where the small dots are barely visible at 200 screen line resolution.
And the pages coming off the press...
And goes into the inspection table for comparison to the proofs produced earlier, which I inspected:
And the pages laid out in a box, ready to go for trimming and binding.

Writer-director Damian Veilleux got a nice shout-out recently on WABI-TV 5 in Bangor for his micro-budgeted indie thriller The Eighteenth Hour, which premieres Wednesday July 18th at the Maine International Film Festival. In part because the movie's director of photography, Mike Cole, works as cameraman for the station's Central Maine bureau in Waterville.
The psychological drama is based on a short story Veilleux, now 30, wrote when he was 16. The piece was rejected by organizers of a literary contest, but all these years later, it provides the basis of what the filmmaker hopes will be a film trilogy.
Alexander Pauley stars as Dominic Walker, a teen who flees into the comfort of daydreams to escape life with an abusive father. However, are those daydreams in fact real? And is the villain of this apparent fantasy world a specter who can jump out into the young boy's reality and double the abusive stakes?
Using equipment purchased by Cole for his various professional pursuits, Veilleux was able to keep the production costs way down. The official final price tag, according to a write-up in the Morning Sentinel newspaper, was exactly $1,214.74.

Stormzy's album roll-out has just begun and already, it's been flawless. From billboards to hashtags to a welcome return to social media, it's clear that Big Mike's forthcoming debut album has been something everyone has been waiting for.
Today, Stormzy finally announced that the project, which drops on February 24, is titled Gang Signs and Prayer and it has some pretty powerful artwork to accompany it. Listen to the first single 'Big For Your Boots' below.
