The new Zipp 60 Clincher allows you to experience a precision-engineered, high-performance carbon rim at a price that won't create financial drag. The 58mm dimpled hybrid toroidal rim is based on aerodynamic principles validated in the wind tunnel and with scores of race wins.
Based on Zipp's quarter-century of aero expertise, the 60 Clincher is stiff and durable yet nimble thanks to continuous and strenuous product development. An all-new hub makes the 60 Clincher as durable as it is fast. This versatile wheel is perfect for the road racer, the triathlete or gran fondo enthusiast who simply loves to ride.
At the heart of the 60 is the light, smooth and tough new hub, which is 10 or 11-speed compatible. Its shell is formed from ultra-strong and lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum. Sapim CX-Ray spokes maintain stiffness required for efficient power transfer. External nipples better support each spoke as it exits the rim. Stainless steel bearings ensure years of smooth riding. This hub is precision set, so it requires no pre-load adjustment.
The 60 is inspired by our pioneering rim that's won races around the globe. Zipp's M2CM™ technology fuses the aluminium hoop to the inner carbon section during the molding process. The famous ABLC™ dimple pattern smoothes airflow across the rim's surface. That 60's aluminium brake track provides a familiar and effective stopping surface in all conditions.

Top TVs for Super Bowl... and all year
Consumer Reports testers recommend 2 top models
Are you in the market for a big-screen TV for the Super Bowl? Consumer Reports tests hundreds of televisions a year, and guess what -- paying top dollar doesn't guarantee top performance.
Testers size up hundreds of TVs every year to find ones to recommend. One test is for motion blur test. It is designed to expose how well a TV can reproduce fast movement, such as you might find in sports or action movies. Some LCDs tend to have trouble. But plasma televisions don't have a problem with motion blur.
Then there's the black level test. Better performing sets have a nice deep black level that will give a nice dynamic contrast in bright scenes as well as dark scenes. Whereas worse performing sets have a brighter level that doesn't give you that deep contrast, so images will look flatter, especially in dark scenes.
Testers also evaluate how well each television displays color. A device takes a color temperature measurement from a solid grey screen to see how balanced the tones are.
Consumer Reports found plenty of high-priced sets that came in lower in the ratings than less-expensive ones. But testers did find several TVs to recommend, including the 55-inch plasma Panasonic Viera TC-P55ST50 for $1,200. It has an excellent picture and nice extras such as 3D and Internet access.
If you want to spend less, Consumer Reports recommends a 60-inch LG for $900. It's model 60PA6500. Though it lacks some bells and whistles, such as online access and 3D, it has an excellent picture at a great price.

(I keep calling it test because the worlds get wiped when everything breaks)
The old ones were a bit too abused (griefers...).
We are using a block logging tool on this server - if you do something bad we will catch you!
LAUNCH TEKKIT, and not the other versions. TEKKIT is the SMP version!
Can't get into the server? Make sure you're using 3.1.2!! You might need to select dev builds in the techniclauncher. Maybe not.
Links that you'll need:

Bolgimo put me on to this!!
It is Minecraft on steroids. There is so much more to do and learn, it's quite intense. You can build oil refineries, pump liquids around, mine uranium ore which can be used in a nuclear reactor... and yes the nuclear reactors can go a bit Chernobyl
There are SSP and SMP versions of the game, Tekkit is the SMP version. I am tempted to put up a test server, it's seriously complex and you will seemingly always have something new to build. It can be a bit daunting at first I guess, but the rewards are worth it.
You can build machines that will strip mine a 9x9 area, then afterwards a machine to back fill it with a material like stone or sand (or whatever). You can pump lakes dry, use a jetpack to fly around, even use solar panels and wind energy to power your creations.
I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what is possible.
Oh, Factions might be working.
From smokngoat:
FYI for everyone, Faction is working just great and it is patched so that EE won't bypass it. Which means, if you protect something, it should be totally protected.
And now with logging, if someone does find a way to break it, we will catch them...
Factions is very easy to use to claim land:
(now I hope I remember these commands correctly)
Type /f to find out about it, and try /f help 1,2,3,4 etc
/f create <faction name> -- creates your very own faction...
/f claim -- claims the chunk you are standing in - by default you can claim (I believe) 10 chunks, so make them count...
/f sc -- lets you see the chunk boundaries (you can also enable chunk boundaries grid in Rei's Minimap)
/f invite <playername> -- Invite your friend to join your faction..
/f join <faction-name> -- accept the invitation..
/f sethome -- essentially like the /sethome command on the Vanilla server - sets a home for your faction
/f home -- travel instantly to your home! woo
http://massivecraft.com/plugins/factions for more
Don't abuse it. Don't claim land other people are clearly already in. Let's play nicely...

Michigan Getting $40M Milk Processing Plant
CASS CITY, Mich. (AP) — Plans are in the works for a $40 million milk processing plant in Michigan.
Dairy Farmers of America broke ground Thursday at the site in Cass City, located in Michigan's agricultural Thumb region.
The national dairy marketing cooperative says the facility about 85 miles north of Detroit will process 3 million pounds of milk each day.
Kansas City, Mo.-based Dairy Farmers of America says milk production in the area is steadily outpacing local plant capacity.
The DFA says in a statement that there will be at least 25 full-time positions at the facility as well as increased employment opportunities on member farms and in agriculture support industries.
The 33,000-square-foot plant initially will produce condensed whole and skim milk, as well as cream.

The FOSS concept is about communication leading to a better product overall, it's about harnessing the passion of people to spot things and figure out fixes for them. Keeping stuff behind closed doors until launch is the proprietary way of operating, hence the Apple analogies. They have all sorts of financial reasons for staying silent, then launching a solution when they're ready.
Linux is built by people who have ideas, who brainstorm what an issue involves, who it affects as well as potential solutions to it. Every distro is the same. The idea is that people are involved in the process.
At no time did I demand that I be kept in the loop, what I pointed out is that there's no acknowledgment of any issue or that it's being addressed to ANY of us. All we have to go on, is day after day after day after day of the forums timing out, the IRC channel timing out and our reputations being questioned. I'd like to think a distro that proudly thinks of itself as a community distro would be a bit more on the ball with it's community in at the very least chipping in with "we hear you". So far this hasn't happened.
If I recommended Mint to a new user, I go to great lengths to empower them. If they need help during the frequent time out periods, they question MY judgment that I chose something where help is unreliable.
Like any small team, they have to prioritize resources. We get this. When your advocates and technical support volunteers are seeing something as a long running joke and try to get you to address it, it's a good idea to listen to them. A company can ignore it's customers and staff if it feels the number of people gained by marketing outweighs the number of people who abandon them. In a FOSS project, the users ARE the unpaid staff and vice versa. If people leave, you lose more than just users.
If you're reliant on your staff as volunteers, it's in your interests to make their ability to contribute as easy and painless as possible. When a number of them all complain of the same issue, it's a good idea to address it. Who knows how widespread it is. All we have right now is the people who have mentioned it on threads. How many more have not mentioned it, yet suffer the same? How many have not experienced the same issue? Who knows, but ignoring it doesn't solve anything for anyone.

Major telcos Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular, Vodafone, Tata Teleservices, Tata Communications and Reliance Communications will receive demand notices for Rs 1,594 crore from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
According to an official, the responses by all companies to the showcause notices have been dismissed.
According to DoT's calculations, Bharti Airtel will have to pay penalties of Rs 292 crore, and Vodafone Rs 254 crore. It calculated the penalty of Rs 113 crore for Idea while, Tata Teleservices will have to pay Rs 273 crore and Tata Communications Rs 120 crore while Reliance Communications will have to pay about Rs 551 crore.
The DoT plans to send demand notices to Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular, Vodafone, Tata Teleservices, Tata Communications and Reliance Communications by the month end.
The department has earlier issued show cause notice to Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance Communications, Tata Teleservices and Idea Cellular after a special audit revealed under reporting of revenue during assessment years starting from 2006 to 2008.
According to PTI, Telecom regulator Trai in 2009 had asked the DoT to conduct a special audit of financial accounts of these five telecom companies for the 2006-08 period observing that operators were under reporting their revenues to avoid payment of licence fee to the government through revenue share.
The move was to check operators' scope to arbitrage, which is shifting revenue from higher licence fee to the lower side. The UASL basic and mobile) telephony has a licence fee of 6-10% where as NLD, ILD, ISP and Internet Protocol has 6%.

No lol's please ha...
I'm a financial services rep with a minor in Computer Science so I got assigned the VB task of creating a new lead to app program to make our biz flow more efficient...
Unfortunately, I haven't used my CS skills since college graduation in 2002 so it was a lot of "on the job learning" on my own...
I came up with exactly what the boss wanted for the interface for the telemarketers... I can even have an email shot off to the underwriter upon the "submit button" command.
What I am having trouble with is including all of the info entered into the fields in the email to the underwriter... I tried to do a screenshot to make it easier on myself but it hasn't worked...
Any thoughts? Here is the interface and the code I employed to attach the screenshot to the emails but it doesn't seem to work . If a screenshot attachment is impossible in 6.5 I guess I can just attach field by field.
The other tweaks I wanted to include was to make sure that all fields were competed prior to the "submit" button working and having the currency and numeric boxes stuck as just that... rather than letting the text boxes be a free-for-all for whatever they feel like entering. I wanted to format the appropriate boxes for rates, numeric values, currency, etc but it's been 10 years and I can't remember???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

STOCKBRIDGE A Randolph man was hospitalized with a shoulder injury over the weekend after the car he was driving drifted off a rain-slicked stretch of Route 107, plowed through a guardrail, and became airborne, before slamming roof-first into a tree.
State police said the bizarre accident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Saturday when 18-year-old Noah Markwood fell asleep at the wheel of his eastbound car while driving home. The car, a 2002 Subaru Impreza, went off the highway, breaking through a section of guardrail and launching into the air, police said.
While airborne, police said the car started to overturn and rotate, before the roof of the vehicle was crushed when it came into contact with a tree.
Markwood was transported by a crew from White River Valley Ambulance to Gifford Medical Center, where police said he was treated for a shoulder injury.

Creeping Toward The Holidays
One thing I like about fall is that my urge to cook and bake comes back. It hides all summer when it's too hot to bother. Last week the house smelled of apples, today I baked a loaf of bread with Italian seasoning. The house smells like yeast and spices and is very pleasant. The smells are driving the dogs crazy, though. They act as if they're starving all the time and try to push feeding time up by an hour or more.
I know winter and the holidays are on the way. My faithful old (35 year old) Christmas cactus is in bloom. The back of the plant is entirely in flower and the front has lots of buds that'll open in a week or two. If she follows her usual run, she'll continue flowering till May. Then from May till October or November she's just an ugly old plant near the window.
It looks like the turkey will defrost in time to cook it on Thursday and the dogs have been promised a big pot of turkey soup. Tomorrow I may do some more baking. Doesn't a house with fresh baked goods smell wonderful?

What a cool Christmas cactus! I'd never seen one before.
I also love baking more in the fall/winter. It might have something to do with how our oven heats up the whole house, so I don't feel much like roasting in the summer.
I love the smell of apples. I think I'll be baking something or another by the end of the week :) - November 24, 2010 at 12:39 AM

PS ~ Thanks for telling me that I'm not the only one who gets super anxious before dog shows! I feel a lot better knowing I'm not alone. I'm fine in stressful situations, but it's something about a dog show that makes me literally sick to my stomach.

I have a cactus just like that, and it flowers beautifully, but I guess we in the southern hemisphere wouldn't call it a Christmas cactus, as it blooms at the wrong time of the year. Do you by any chance know its Latin name?

We went looking for faces of survival. We found inspiration.
Patch asked Michigan women and men who have fought breast cancer to share their struggles, tears and triumphs with us during October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer survivor : "You'll be fine. You're alive and that's the most important thing."
Farmington Hills resident . "The answer is know your body and don't take anything for granted," Jaeger said.
"Every day, I'm a cancer survivor," said "I don't obsess about it, but it's always there."
when she was learned she had stage 2 breast cancer in 2008. "I want people to know breast cancer does not have to be a death sentence and that maybe we don't have hair, but we still see beauty in ourselves."
These are Our Neighbors
While their stories are profound, it was also striking how realtively easy it was for Patch editors to find women and men touched by the disease in Patch communities across southeast Michigan.
Cancer is so pervasive. These survivors are our sisters, mothers, daughters, grandmas, aunts, friends, uncles, husbands, dads, brothers and neighbors.
"Be positive, be happy, embrace life and don't look back. Dance in the rain as the cool raindrops bounce off your bald head. Umbrellas are for nonbelievers."
We invite you to scroll through the photo gallery, read their stories and get involved in the fight against breast cancer. Join us in congratulating these women and men on their bravery, and thank them for sharing their stories with all of us. You can do so in the comments area below.
Also, if you are a survivor or know someone who is, add their picture to the gallery or their story to comments.
For those going through breast cancer, resources, information and support services are available through the American Cancer Society. For more information, visit www.cancer.org or call 800-227-2345.
'Never Too Much Awareness'
learned she had breast cancer in March 2010. "Be positive, be happy, embrace life and don't look back," Dumler said. "Dance in the rain as the cool raindrops bounce off your bald head. Umbrellas are for nonbelievers."
discovered a lump on her breast while on a family vacation for her 39th birthday three years ago. "You can never have too much awareness," she said. "The good news is that it's a 98 percent recovery rate if treated early."
discovered she had breast cancer at age 54. "With breast cancer, there's an immediate sisterhood," she said. "It's just an immediate bonding that you had. I could ask anybody for anything."
and she's a survivor. "No matter how much you're educated and how much you know, when you're diagnosed, you will be different," she said.
a couple of months before she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 48. "The best thing that ever happened to me was getting cancer," said Rice, who now works tirelessly with on behalf of others. "This is my calling in life."
battled breast cancer while going through a divorce and came out all the better. "The diagnosis, treatment and reconstructive surgery probably took almost two years out of my life, but that's OK, because I feel I have a lifetime ahead of me."
, is a two-time breast cancer survivor. "Do you understand I can now live to see my hair grow gray or my grandchildren grow up?" she said. "You just look at life differently. You take in the colors outside or the sky. I look at my son, my husband, and you're just so grateful for what you have anymore."
, was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was around 38 years old. "Take people up on their offer to help," DeMaggio said. "Don't do it alone and be honest and let people know exactly how you are really feeling."
said she found a closer relationship with God after her August 2007 diagnosis. "I just relied a lot on my faith and family and friends," the Novi resident said.
It's been 14 years since was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer. ""You go through a lot of 'why me?' sort of thoughts when you get that diagnosis," she said. "I was the first in the family … it was a huge surprise for all of us."
, was diagnosed with stage 2-B breast cancer in December 2007. "You have to stay positive," the mom of two girls said. "I have good days and bad days, but you can't sit around feeling sorry for yourself."
is nearing the 16-year anniversary of her diagnosis of breast cancer. "On the surface, it appeared that my life was very normal. But underneath, emotionally, it was very devastating," she said.
was celebrating a new life when her baby, Ainsley, was born. Then she discovered a tumor. In September, friends and former classmates raised $7,000 at a special benefit to help cover Williams' rising medical bills. "Her fight is just so strong, but it's shocking," lifelong friend Jenna Fennelly said.

Interesting and Exciting! I've been **BANNED** from posting on OGP anymore, just for posting hideous things in my signature like: ""During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." ~~ George Orwell FSA! ! ! " LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks! A saying I heard a little while ago, and really like - "Apparently tolerance, like Math, is hard." Thanks to our education system over the last 20 years or so, science is something that baffles most people. That and a complete lack of the knoledge of even basic physics, chemistry and logical thinking, is truly gutting our society. Regardless of how many unicorns someone may have in their backyard, the Laws of Thermodynamics still apply!
Good post,You Sir, are showing your education. Of course there is a decay in recharging batteries. Only the uneducated believe the hype.

Evaluating Fundamental Analysis |
FOREIGN EXCHANGE Step number two includes the evaluation process of fundamental and technical analysis. Understanding the importance of the fundamental data and the technical charting are key to knowing when to enter and exit your positions. FUNDAMENTALS: If fundamental analysis tells us what to buy, then technical analysis indicates when to buy. When most people think about fundamental analysis, they think about reading balance sheets and income statements. Unlike the stock market, where this data is critical to understand the strength of a company, the currency market relies on macroeconomic events to show the strength of a currency. In the currency market, it is the study of other factors that might dictate what the price of a currency ?should? be. As mentioned above, evaluating the fundamentals of the currency market involves more of a macroeconomic view and looking at major international and national events. Evaluating interest rates, economic strengths or weaknesses, politics, and other news events of different countries helps identify the strength of the currency. As with other markets, the basic principle of supply and demand drives the currency market. If the demand for a specific currency increases, that currency will rise in value. If the demand decreases, the value of that currency will decrease. When a currency price moves, there should be fundamental reasons to explain why the price moved in a certain direction. Here are some of the fundamental factors that can influence the price of a currency. Interest rates: Different interest rates between countries can affect the exchange rates between currency pairs. For example, if the Japanese government raises its interest rate, then foreigners might flock to the Yen denominated investments to earn a higher return on the Japanese Yen than what they can earn in their own country. This will raise the price of the yen relative to other foreign currencies. If Japan lowers its interest rates, then the opposite effect might take place. Regardless of the country or currency, if a currency has a higher interest rate or rates are increasing, it will have a positive effect on the value of that currency. Economy: The strength or weakness of a certain country's economy will lead to a longer-term trend in the price of its currency relative to others. If the U.S. economy is strong, then you will see the USD strengthen. If it is weak, the dollar will weaken. Political Environment: A country?s political environment can move the price of its currency. A political crisis (such as war) can lower the price of a country?s currency because of uncertainty surrounding the crisis. As people flock to safer currencies, the value of its currency will go down. Economic Announcements: One factor that simplifies the fundamental process of the currency market is the readily available information. Most of the information we need, fundamentally speaking, is announced on a set schedule. Professional currency traders are constantly analyzing the upcoming events and are already trading as if the announcements have been made. What we need to look out for, is the occasion when the announcement is made and it is different from what the analysts expected. In those cases, there can be a dramatic move in the currency market. Below is a screen shot of the economic calendar that is available on our website. You can see that it gives you the date and the time that an announcement is coming out. It also shows you the currency affected and what the event is that will be announced. Because there can be volatility associated with some announcements, you may want to avoid them altogether. Clearly, a change in the balance of payments has a direct effect on currency levels. Therefore, FX traders should keep on top of economic data relating to this balance and understand the implications of changes in the balance of payments. For example, recall the trade flow between the U.S. and Canada during 2004. During this time, the U.S. imported more goods from Canada than it exported to Canada. This caused a trade deficit with Canada. In this case, the deficit caused the U.S. dollar to decrease in value since the U.S. needed to sell the dollar to buy the Canadian dollar. This added a supply of USD which caused the value to go down. Capital Flow: Capital flow shows the impact of capital being moved from one currency to another to increase the return on investment. Capital flow measures the net amount of a currency that is being purchased or sold due to capital investments. If this is positive, it means that foreign investments coming into a country exceed investments going out. If this is negative, it implies that foreign investments coming into a country are less than those going out. Interest rates are a primary force for moving investments into or out of a country. For example, if a certain country is lowering their interest rate and another is raising interest rates, money will move out of the currency that is being lowered and into the one that is being increased.

Luxury Department Stores Continue To Face Tough Times
More bad news for the U.S. luxury department stores. WWD has the list of sales figures for December and they aren't pretty. Same-store sales declined 5.4 percent on average for the department store sector with a total of 6.5 percent lost year over year. The luxury retailers were hit hardest, Nordstrom, down 4 percent, Neiman Marcus down 2.9 percent, Macy's fell 7.9 percent and Sak's eked out a .08 percent gain. Out of the 40 retailers WWD tracked, 27 reported negative same-stores sales for the month. The mid-range departments stores were hit too, J.C. Penney fell 7.9 percent and Kohl's declined 0.7 percent. Discount stores did better with Wal-Mart up 2.6 percent and Target up 5 percent. Specialty stores dipped too (3 percent) but overall it was the department stores that suffered the most with a 6.3 percent decline overall. I wonder if the fact that the Christmas holiday season has turned into more of a gadget frenzy and less of a clothing holiday is partly behind this or if this is just more fall out as the masstige market, once fueled by the aspirational shopper, continues to decline.

What is Essiac Tea?
Essiac is an herbal decoction that has become well known for it's effectiveness in treating a wide variety of chronic illnesses as well as being an excellent natural detox method. Essiac tea benefits the entire body. It's made with these four herbs;
- The root of the Burdock plant
- The entire Sheep sorrel plant
- The inner bark of the Slippery Elm tree
- The roots of the Turkey Rhubarb plant (indian rhubarb and other varieties have also been used but are less potent)
The herbs are boiled for a short time and then left to steep for 8-12 hours. The tea is then boiled once more and then strained. Each herb in the essiac tea recipe has roots in natural folk medicine. Sheep sorrel and burdock have been used for centuries to treat cancer and other illnesses. Slippery elm bark and turkey rhubarb are known for their healing and detoxifying abilities. Each herb has it's own benefits, but when combined, these herbs work together in a synergistic fashion to provide an amazing health effect on the body.
How do the Essiac Tea Ingredients Benefit Health?
What are the Benefits of Essiac Tea?
The list of essiac tea benefits is long, but essiac tea has two main functions that make it very beneficial for health.
Essiac tea helps release toxins that build up in fat and tissues into the blood stream where they can be filtered and excreted by the liver and kidneys. These are the chemicals and poisons causing cells to mutate and are in our air, food, and water, and everywhere around us. Eliminating these toxins is essential to fighting cancer growth and ensuring the organs and immune system are functioning at their absolute best.
Restoration of the Immune System
Cleaning the body of toxins and impurities frees up the immune system to focus on killing cancer cells and protecting the body. With Essiac Tea, complete body purification occurs, with a significant boost in the body's immune system to combat any pre-existing disease by producing more lymphocytes and T-cells, the body's natural defenses. Your immune system is the #1 defense against ALL disease and it's proper functioning is absolutely vital! Pharmaceutical drugs have been successful at masking the symptoms of disease, but not ridding the body of the root of the problem. Unlike most alternative treatments, modern medicine focuses on treating the patients' physical symptoms, rather than the underlying causes of the disease. In many cases the underlying cause of cancer is a weak immune system. Your body is constantly fighting cancer cells but when it is compromised, the cancer can gain a foothold.
More Essiac Tea Benefits
- Rich in antioxidants which protect the body's cells against free radicals.
- Increases production of antibodies which greatly improves the immune system.
- Contains mucilage which coats the entire digestive system, soothing sore throats, ulcers, and aids digestion.
- Helps to cleanse the colon and helps facilitate healthy waste removal.
- Shortens healing time for wounds.
- Increases energy levels, increases appetite, relieves pain, improves mood.
- Counteracts some of the negative effects of chemotherapy.
- Can help protect the body against radiation.
- Raises oxygen levels throughout the body and increases the body's ability to use this oxygen.
- Purifies the blood and increases red blood cell production.
- Increases insulin production
- Reduces stiffness and inflammation of the joints.
- Helps remove heavy metals from fat and tissues
- Helps relieve stress on the liver by converting fat soluble toxins into water soluble solution that can be easily processed through the kidneys instead.
- Absorbs and removes toxins in the bowels and neutralizes acids.
- Helps eliminate toxic buildup in bladder, lymph nodes, bone marrow, alimentary canals, and fat stores.
- Protects the heart, kidneys,liver, and arteries by preventing the buildup of fatty deposits.
- Reduces stone formation in the gall bladder, kidneys and urinary tract. Helps convert certain oxalates into solvent forms that can be eliminated through the urine.
- Helps tissues absorb more fluids.
- Stimulates and nourishes the brain and the nervous system.
- Makes the body less vulnerable against stress injury by making joints, ligaments and bones stronger and more flexible.
- Strengthens organs and tightens muscles and tissue.
- Counteracts effects of mercury and lead poisoning
- Helps the body to better convert sugars and fats into energy
- Helps dissolve and eliminate mucus in the respiratory system.
- Helps the body regulate cholesterol levels
How does Essiac Tea work?
Your immune system is constantly fighting disease. But when it becomes compromised, by unhealthy living and high toxin levels, the disease is able to gain a foothold. The tea cleanses the body of toxins, repairs the immune system and strengthens vital organs, improving nearly all aspects of health. As a result, the body is able to fight disease on it's own. As we will discuss in more detail soon, the benefits of essiac tea are numerous! Essiac herbs are also a rich, natural source of vitamins and minerals and all of them contain antioxidants which are known to protect against cell damage caused by free radicals. Excessive amounts of these free radicals can lead to cell injury and death, which may contribute to many diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes and many other major disorders. Essiac tea is also used by many people for all around health and prevention.
What's the story behind Essiac Tea?
Essiac tea, or Ojibwa tea, is rooted in Native American medicine, specifically, from the Ojibwe tribe in Canada. The reason we know about it today is because of a Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse. In the mid 1920′s Rene was working as head nurse at a hospital in Ontario. The story goes that one day she noticed scar tissue on an elderly patient and when she inquired about it, the woman told her it was from breast cancer, but it had been healed by a recipe given to her by an ojibwe medicine man. This was amazing to Rene because back then cancer was a virtual death sentence. The woman was almost 80 years old and the cancer never came back. She told Rene the names of the herbs she used. Over a year later, Rene learned that her aunt had cancer in her liver and stomach and had only a few months to live. Rene talked to Dr. R.O. Fisher, her aunt's doctor, about the herbal tea and he agreed to try it since there was nothing else he could do for her. Rene's aunt went on to live another 21 years after being deemed untreatable by the medical community. Word spread about her aunts miraculous recovery and soon, doctors were asking to try her tea on other hopeless patients. Many recovered and even among the worst cases, the tea improved their conditions enough to ease their pain and allow them to live several months longer than doctors expected. Rene went on to open a clinic where she treated thousands of people with her tea free of charge.
You would think the people in charge of our health care would be interested in this wonderful gift… And they were, but not interested in researching and administering it but in suppressing it. The Medical establishment has always fought natural medicines like essiac tea. And even today it is discredited by many sources. It is a threat to their profits. The herbs literally grow like weeds and the tea can be made by almost anyone with a kitchen. A cheap treatment for cancer would put a serious dent in the multi billion dollar cancer industry. On October 27th, 1926, 8 doctors signed a petition to the Department of Health asking that Rene be given opportunity to officially research and prove the effectiveness of this tea.
This brought the attention of the Canadian government and started a long drawn out battle over the fate of Rene's tea. In 1938, a bill was introduced to the Ontario congress that would allow Rene Caisse to officially practice medicine and treat patients with essiac. Along with this bill was presented a petition with over 55,000 signatures. The 59 members of parliament voted and the bill was just 3 votes shy of passing!Does Essiac Really Cure Cancer?
Essiac tea is not a miracle cure. Although it has many anti-cancer properties and immune benefits, every situation is different. There are so many factors that can affect the outcome of cancer treatment. It should not be used as a primary treatment for advanced cancers but should be used in combination with other natural and conventional treatments and makes and excellent addition to any cancer diet. This remedy is best used against early diagnosed cancers that do not have rapid growth and are not spreading aggressively. Although this tea has been used to cure advanced cancers, it is not commonly administered like it was in Rene's clinic. Rene Caisse used fresh locally grown herbs to prepare her formula and administered it to her patients within 48 hours of preparation. Commercially prepared mixes just cannot offer that same level of freshness and potency. For maximum potency, it is highly recommended that you make your own tea, which leads us to the next section…How do I Prepare the Essiac Tea Recipe?
To get the best results, I highly suggest you make your own tea. This is the best way to make sure you are getting the real deal. It is fairly easy to grow essiac tea herbs. The next best step would be to buy the herbs and mix them yourself. This allows you to ensure that the herbs are organic and the ratio's are the same as Rene Caisse's formula. This also saves a lot of money compared to buying premixed herbs. Here is the true essiac tea recipe that was published in 1988 by Dr. Gary Glum and later publicly confirmed under oath by Mary McPherson, Rene's friend and assistant at her Bracebridge clinic for cancer patients. At that time, Mary was the only one besides Rene who knew the essiac recipe and had actually prepared it. You can find the word for word transcription of her affidavit here along with more information on the essiac tea recipe. I find its easier and more accurate to measure the ingredients by weight so I've also included a recipe measured in grams.
How to Make Essiac Tea
- 6 ½ cups (1½ lbs.)of burdock root cut
- 1 pound of sheep sorrel herb powdered
- 1/4 pound of slippery elm bark powdered
- 1 ounce of Turkish rhubarb root powdered
Mix these ingredients thoroughly and store in glass jar in dark dry cupboard. Take a measuring cup, use 1 ounce of herb mixture to 32 ounces of water depending on the amount you want to make. I use 1 cup of mixture to 8 x 32 = 256 ounces of water. Boil hard for 10 minutes (covered) then turn off heat but leave sitting on warm plate over night (covered). In the morning heat steaming hot and let settle a few minutes, then strain through fine strainer into hot sterilized bottles and sit to cool. Store in dark cool cupboard. Must be refrigerated when opened. When near the last when its thick pour in a large jar and sit in frig overnight then pour off all you [can] without sediment. This recipe must be followed exactly as written. I use a granite preserving kettle (10 – 12 qts), 8 ounce measuring cup, small funnel and fine strainer to fill bottles.
Essiac Formula Measured by Weight
- 120 grams chopped Burdock Root
- 80 grams powdered Sheep Sorrel
- 20 grams powdered Slippery Elm Bark
- 5 grams powdered Turkey Rhubarb
Use 15 grams of herb mixture to 1.5 liters of pure spring water
Where Can I Buy Essiac Tea?
There are many sources online to buy from but you should be careful. As the tea has become more and more popular, there are many people out there trying to take advantage of people to make a quick buck. There are products that are outrageously priced, have poor quality herbs, wrong herb ratios, some don't even use the correct herbs! There are some good suppliers of reasonably priced, organic essiac tea though. I recommend you pick a supplier that uses the 4 herb essiac tea recipe found here that was publicly confirmed in 1994 by Rene Caisse's close friend and assistant, Mary Mcphearson. It is also highly recommended that you purchase essiac tea in bulk. The price difference in buying essiac by the pound instead of by the ounce is huge. In some cases , as much as $370!Are There any Essiac Tea Side Effects?
Most people do no have any unwanted side effects when taking essiac tea. However a few people are sensitive to the tea and may experience stomach discomfort. This can be avoided by taking a lower dose and gradually increasing the dose until the body becomes accustomed to it. There are some functions of essiac that some people would consider side effects, but these are actually beneficial processes that aid the detoxification process. For example, essiac causes an increase in sweating which allows toxins to be eliminated through the pores in the skin. It also causes frequent urination which allows toxins to be removed continually and more efficiently
The essiac decoction stimulates the release of toxins throughout the body and it is important that these are eliminated quickly and efficiently. It it a good idea to drink plenty of water to dilute these toxins and prevent high concentrations from stressing the liver and kidneys.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use essiac. Visit this page for more information on essiac tea side effects.Where Can I find Essiac Tea Testimonials?
There are thousands of testimonials praising the benefits of essiac tea. There are also many cases that have been documented that prove its benefits. There's too many to post on this page, you can find more essiac tea testimonials here. However, testimonials should not be considered as medical evidence, as there are an infinite number of variables that may have contributed to the person's success such as previous conventional treatments or other natural treatments they may have used.
Essiac Tonic and Extracts
Essiac tonic is a concentrated extraction of the herbs used to make essiac tea. Some people prefer the tonic over the tea because of certain advantages it has. Because the herbs are highly concentrated, a much lower dose is needed. You only need a few drops of tonic compared to an ounce or more of tea. This also makes it more portable and easier to use while traveling. Essiac tonic also has a much longer shelf life than the tea. The tea lasts about 2 weeks in the refrigerator before it spoils. Tonics and extracts can last for over a year without refrigeration and with little potency loss.
There are however, some major disadvantages to using essiac tonic. Extracts are used a lot less commonly compared to the more popular tea form. There are some positive reviews and testimonials but there just isn't a lot of information or history like there is with essiac tea. The formula used by Rene Caisse to treat thousands was a decoction not an alcohol extraction, so it's hard to tell how it compares in effectiveness with the tea form. For this reason we don't recommend using essiac tonic unless you are traveling or just can't make the tea for whatever reason. Another major disadvantage of essiac tonic is that it mostly absorbs in the mouth and doesn't travel through the digestive tract in the same way the tea does. This is where the slippery elm bark really works it's magic for ulcers and digestion problems. Another common complaint is about the taste of essiac. If you have tried the tea and found it less than tasty, imagine that concentrated 10x!
Pros and Cons of Essiac Tonic
- Lower dosage needed
- Portable
- Does not need refrigeration
- Long shelf life
- May not be as effective as tea
- Many digestive benefits of essiac are not gained with tonic
- Bitter unpleasant taste
- Lower dosage needed
- Portable
- Does not need refrigeration
- Long shelf life
- May not be as effective as tea
- Many digestive benefits of essiac are not gained with tonic
- Bitter unpleasant taste

Saffron Road Awarded Best Halal Food Company at the 2013 Islamic Economy Summit
Stamford, CT November 26, 2013 – Saffron Road, the packaged food brand of American Halal Co., was awarded Best Halal Food Company in the World at the prestigious Global Islamic Economy Summit (GIES) in Dubai, U.A.E. yesterday. The GIES is the equivalent of the Global Economic Forum of the Middle East and is facilitated by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Thomson Reuters as the world's leading Islamic economy conference. The award was bestowed on American Halal's CEO, Adnan Durrani, by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, where 2,500 registrants were in attendance at the Jumeirah Arena Ballroom in Dubai. The Award celebrates global emerging companies that have demonstrated significant social and business impact and have inspired a new generation of leaders. Saffron Road was selected from a competitive list of applicants from over 30 countries.
Adnan Durrani commented by saying, "We are so honored at American Halal to achieve the utmost level of global accolades by His Majesty Sheikh Maktoum and the Global Islamic Economy Summit. I am so proud of our team at Saffron Road for our dedication to Halal values that not only meet the needs of the wider Muslim community, but are also being applauded around the world for our steadfast purity and excellence. On the heels of Saffron Road winning Best Halal Product in the World at the World Halal Forum in 2011, in just a short period of time our impact on the global stage has been remarkable."
The keynote speaker of the GIES Mark Mobius, Chairman of the famous Templeton Funds, espoused the huge economic power that Islamic economies and Muslim consumers have on the world economy.
The Islamic economies of the world represent more than $8 trillion in GDP, and a 1.6 billion population growing at double the rate of the global population. Disposable income for the Islamic economy is estimated at $4.8 billion—and with 62% of the population under the age of 30, the next generation of Muslims are increasingly asserting their Islamic sensitivities with respect to everything from food preferences to banking and finance, to fashion, cosmetics, travel and healthcare.
Mr. Durrani is also a speaker at the conference on a panel titled, "Halal to Wholesome—Transforming Values to Global Appeal."

Saffron Road Introduces First-of-its-Kind All Natural Lamb Broth
New Item Debuts Exclusively at Whole Foods Market®
Stamford, CT – November 5th, 2013 – Saffron Road, the packaged food brand of American Halal Co., is launching a premium all- natural, Halal Certified, gluten free Lamb Broth nationally at Whole Foods Market (WFM) stores this month.

Whether used with vegetables, in making homemade stews, soups and sauces, or to liven up leftovers, these culinary inspired broths enable consumers to add rich flavor to their own recipes.

Saffron Road recently launched 3 new World Cuisine Simmer Sauces, ideal for quick meal preparation during Ramadan. These new Non-GMO Project Verified flavors are Korean Stir Fry, Thai Red Curry, and Harissa. The entire assortment of Saffron Road products will be on sale in over 6,000 stores during Ramadan including Whole Foods Market (during July), Kroger (during August), Publix (during July), Fairway, H.E.B and Central Market (during July), Harris Teeter (during July), Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage (during July), Cost Plus World Market (during July), and Sprouts (during July & August) and most independent stores where Saffron Road is carried (during July). The Saffron Road team hopes the increased retail availability paired with targeted promotions during Ramadan will incentivize Muslim shoppers to go in their local stores to purchase Saffron Road's Halal products for festive gatherings during Ramadan, including iftars or the daily traditional breaking of the fasts at sundown.
"We believe Ramadan is an especially relevant time for brands and major retailers to connect emotionally with American Muslim consumers who so often have very few Halal food options at their disposal," says Adnan Durrani, CEO of American Halal Company, Inc." As I like to convey to our retail partners, the blessing of Ramadan for them is like 30 Thanksgivings in a row – quite a windfall for any major supermarket! American Muslims have over $170 billion in annual consumer buying power. Major marketing research firms like Ogilvy and Gallop have now confirmed that American Muslims have over 70% brand loyalty, and retailers and consumers brands can easily boost that to 95% during Ramadan by even the smallest gesture of compassion to this un-served and disenfranchised consumer segment by offering Halal relevancy during their holiest month. We're thrilled to provide even more quality Halal products that fit into our consumers' lifestyles, adhere to their dietary principles, and are available nationally at major supermarket stores around the country," continues Durrani.
Saffron Road and its retail partners have already experienced first hand the benefits of marketing to Muslims. Last year during Ramadan, the brand increased its sales by 200% during the month of Ramadan alone. "Our proven success further demonstrates the validity of the Muslim market and continues to be a win-win, not only for our brand, but for our many retail partners as they are able to tap into a new and growing consumer base," says Jack Acree, Executive Vice President of American Halal Company, Inc.
In addition to sale promotions with its retail partners during Ramadan, Saffron Road will be sharing a series of resources for Muslim consumers preparing for Ramadan, such as recipes and giveaways in collaboration with Halal food experts, Fauzia's Kitchen Fun and MarocMama. Also collaborating with Saffron Road during Ramadan is global media commentator, The Muslim Guy, who is a regular weekly commentator on NPR's show "Tell Me More" with Michel Martin, as well as a frequent guest on CNN. His Twitter account was named by The Huffington Post as one of the top 12 Muslim Twitter Accounts in the world. Saffron Road is excited about bringing on Mr. Iftikhar as its newest Brand Ambassador to even more deeply engage the American Muslim and non-Muslim followers during Ramadan.
Saffron Road will continue to incorporate a philanthropic aspect to its campaign supporting its charity partners, Whole Planet Foundation and The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Stay tuned to the Saffron Road Facebook and Twitter pages during Ramadan to keep up-to-date on the brand's activities and promotions.
All of Saffron Road's products are Certified Halal by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA).
Saffron Road Surpasses $10,000 in Donations to Whole Planet Foundation®
Joins Nonprofit's Ten Thousand Dollar Fund®
Stamford, CT – July 6, 2013 – Saffron Road™, the premium packaged food brand of American Halal Co., is pleased to announce that it has joined a select group of companies that have donated more than $10,000 to Whole Planet Foundation to help fund poverty alleviation around the globe. Whole Planet Foundation's mission is to help end poverty worldwide by funding microlending programs in the U.S. and developing world communities that supply Whole Foods Market stores with product.
Saffron Road's donations are a result of Saffron Road's socially responsible business model which promotes a "triple bottom line"– in this case, giving back a percentage of sales to a worthy organization like Whole Planet Foundation. The company's contribution will help fund the Foundation's purpose to provide impoverished entrepreneurs in poor communities around the world microcredit. Microcredit is small loans – usually less than $300 – requiring no contract or collateral, that enable an entrepreneur with the opportunity to create or expand a home-based business and the chance to lift herself and her family out of poverty.
"From the inception of Saffron Road, we have remained die-hard supporters and long-term partners of Whole Planet Foundation," said Adnan Durrani, CEO of American Halal / Saffron Road. "To date, we are proud to have improved the lives of hundreds of people in developing countries around the world. Surpassing donations of $10,000 to Whole Planet Foundation will have significant impact in uplifting very poor entrepreneurs and providing significant upward opportunities for individuals in impoverished communities. We are very excited to further deepen our partnership with both Whole Planet Foundation and Whole Foods Market. Our remarkable sales success at Whole Foods Market is directly linked to our mission of ethical consumerism and especially Whole Foods Market's consumers who are voting with their dollars to support mission-based enterprises like Saffron Road. Whole Planet Foundation is core to our belief system in a healthier planet, a more sustainable food system, and our motivation of giving back to those less fortunate."
In 2005, Whole Foods Market established Whole Planet Foundation as an expansion of its mission to be an active participant in the global community. The foundation was formed in partnership with Professor Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank, co-recipients of 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. Through trusted microfinance organizations worldwide, Whole Planet Foundation is reaching microentrepreneurs who can change their own lives through their own hard work and creativity.
"Through their generous support, Saffron Road has helped to provide more than 60 poor entrepreneurs – most of whom are women – with an opportunity to get ahead: to start her own business, create a steady stream of income and have the chance to lift herself and her family out of poverty," said Philip Sansone, president and executive director of Whole Planet Foundation. "We're grateful to work with partners who are committed to supporting microentrepreneurs around the globe."

Saffron Road Turns Three
Brand Continues to Grow by Leaps & Bounds
Stamford, CT – July 4, 2013 – Saffron Road™, the premium packaged food brand of American Halal Co., celebrates its brand's three year anniversary today, fortuitously on America's Independence Day, making Saffron Road a true American brand. The success of the Saffron Road brand continues to evolve and grow as the brand's team initially recognized unmet needs in the marketplace and has since carved out their own niche catering to discerning natural food and halal consumers who prefer premium foods that are held to the highest standards for wholesomeness and culinary excellence – All Natural, Antibiotic Free, Certified Humane®, Hormone Free, Non-GMO Verified, Gluten Free, Halal Certified.
"Given our premise of how deeply underserved our core consumer is, our professional instincts were spot on at Saffron Road in correctly gauging the synergistic needs of both premium halal and natural food consumers – our demographic sweet spot. This has enabled Saffron Road to carve out a beach head in the frozen grocery aisle – where we are the only entrée brand that can proudly claim that we are: halal certified 100% natural, Antibiotic-Free, Hormone Free, and Certified Humane®! Not only is that a tall barrier to entry, but also it has given Saffron Road a very unique brand value positioning from the get-go," says Adnan Durrani, CEO of American Halal Co. "Our niche is not bound to just one category – ethnic, halal or all natural, but transcends several dietary needs, making way for a more premium choice for consumers with sophisticated and unique tastes."
In just three years, the Saffron Road brand has:
- Established their first retail partnership with the world's largest natural food retailer, Whole Foods Market®, and was the retailer's debut into the U.S. halal market by being been rolled out nationally in all 11 of their regions
- Earned numerous exceptional certifications and delivered on these pure claims: Certified Gluten Free, Certified Humane®, Antibiotic Free, Certified Halal, Non-GMO Project Verified
- Increased its product line from four to now nearly 40 products, including both frozen and shelf-stable
- Secured over 6,000 grocery retail partners and are slated to be in up to 9,000 stores this year
- Engaged social networks, multiple iPhone apps, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram followers and emotionally connected big time with halal and natural foods consumers – who were all emboldened to become Saffron Road's online brand advocates
- Gained several awards and recognitions not only for its marketing efforts which include a 2012 David Ogilvy Award in the Digital + Media category from the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) for its campaign Halal History in the Making: Saffron Road and Whole Foods Market Partner Together to Meet Muslims' Needs during Ramadan, but also has been recognized by top food industry experts like The Supermarket Guru, Phil Lempurt, as he declared the brand's Chicken Tikka Masala entrée, Moroccan Tagine Simmer Sauce, and Falafel Crunchy Chickpea snacks – all 'HITS.'
"These initial three years have been truly amazing – from identifying supportive retail partners who share our values and understand our market, to the outstanding consumer advocacy," says Jack Acree, Executive Vice President of American Halal Co. "Our higher standard of ethical consumerism is resonating with both the grocery trade and consumers."
Saffron Road™ Launches Three Non-GMO Project Verified Simmer Sauces at 2013 Summer Fancy Food Show
Company's new simmer sauces and other all-natural, non-GMO Project Verified products will be on display at booth #4655
Stamford, CT – June 11, 2013 (Booth #4655) – At this year's Summer Fancy Food Show, Saffron Road, the packaged food brand of American Halal Co., is expanding its line of single-use Simmer Sauce pouches with the introduction of three new flavors: Harissa, Korean Stir Fry and Thai Red Curry. These new Simmer Sauces are all-natural and support the company's ongoing commitment to providing Non-GMO Project Verified options for consumers.
Unlike glass jars, which are frequently over-heated and burn off flavors and natural elements, pouches are hot filled in less time, thus preserving the robust flavors Saffron Road's epicurean consumers eagerly savor.
The new Simmer Sauces flavors – which take inspiration from the best in world cuisine – include:
- Harissa – Made from piri piri, a red pepper from the Sahara, and infused with flavorful spices and herbs.
- Korean Stir Fry – Crafted with hints of pear and a touch of toasted sesame oil, it features true Korean gochugaru peppers.
- Thai Red Curry –This authentic sauce is filled with a marketplace of ingredients – from galangal ginger to kaffir lime– to create a complex flavor.
In early 2011, Saffron Road recognized the potential of the pouch category, which has since emerged as a billion dollar innovation in the natural consumer channel and currently spans such segments as baby food, beverages, soups and skillet sauces. Furthermore, Saffron Road's single-use Simmer Sauce pouches require 500 gallons less fuel to transport and produce 14 times less landfill material than the typical glass sauce bottle, resulting in a much smaller carbon footprint and more favorable environmental impact.
"Addressing market demand remains a top priority for our company, and we know that millennials, who now represent over 80 million American consumers, prefer easy-to-use and easy-to-store pouches as their 'go-to' package," said Adnan Durrani, chief executive officer of American Halal Company, Inc." Given these emerging trends and Saffron Road's mission of culinary excellence, we are very excited to be a leader in the category and to further champion our goal of bringing ethically and sustainably packaged food options to our consumers."
To learn more about Saffron Road and to sample the products at the Summer Fancy Food Show, please visit Saffron Road at Booth #4655. On Saturday, June 29 at 8:00 a.m., Saffron Road's Executive Vice President Jack Acree will also give a presentation titled "Learning the Lingo of Specialty Foods" on food industry acronyms and terms.

Saffron Road Would Like to Congratulate Whole Foods Market for their Commitment to Full GMO Transparency by 2018
Stamford, CT — March 8, 2013 — Saffron Road would like to congratulate Whole Foods Market for their announcement today to have all products labeled to indicate if they contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as their commitment to full GMO transparency by 2018.
"With the growing concern among consumers about the inclusion of GMO ingredients in food products, this is a step in the right direction for transparency and the consumer's right to know," said Saffron Road's CEO, Adnan Durrani.
In an effort to make their own contribution, Saffron Road recently released Chana Saag, the first Non-GMO Verified frozen entrée in the U.S. Saffron Road also has four other Non-GMO Verified products: Chana Saag Whole Wheat Chapatti Wraps and 3 flavors of Crunchy Chickpeas. The company will be coming out with four Non-GMO Verified simmer sauces later this year.
Earning the Non-GMO verification has been a big priority for Saffron Road, as part of their ongoing effort to provide ethical and sustainable products for consumers.

I've created a patch for the the lm_sensors w83781d driver that lets it properly initialize and detect the chips in the Tyan dual-amd boards. This lets me get temperature monitoring without going into the bios first. Temperature and fan speed monitoring works, but voltage doesn't work correctly for some inputs (like +12V) because Tyan used non-standard resistor values and I don't know what they are. I'm planning to give it to the lm sensors people soon. In the past, they've been very receptive to my fixes for the supermicro 370DE6 and vid settings for socketA, P4, and P3-S boards.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Uranium Country Notes
Although uranium mineralisation had been detected in the Rössing Mountains in the Namib Desert in 1928, extensive exploration for uranium did not get under way until the late 1960s. The major discovery was the Rössing deposit, located to the north-east of Walvis Bay; other discoveries were made in the same area of west-central Namibia, notably the Trekkopje and Langer Heinrich deposits.
UraMin Inc., a UK/South African company, was granted exploration licences for Trekkopje and the surrounding area in November 2006, and aims to bring a new production facility into production as soon as possible. The Langer Heinrich deposit was acquired by an Australian company, Paladin Resources Ltd., in August 2002. Since then the company has constructed a new mining and processing facility, with a nominal production capacity of 1 000 tU per annum. The processing plant came into operation in December 2006 and is scheduled to reach its designed production rate by mid-2007.
A large open-pit mine operated by Rössing Uranium Ltd (68.58% owned by Rio Tinto Zinc, 3% by the Government of Namibia, 15% by the Government of Iran, 10% by the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa and the balance by individual shareholders) has been in production since 1976; output in 2005 was 3 147 tonnes, with cumulative production amounting to almost 85 000 tonnes. The 2005 output level represented 79% of the 4 000 tU/yr nominal capacity of Rössing's processing plant. Although Rössing Uranium had intended to close down its operations in 2007, a rise in the price of uranium led to a change of plan. The company is now investing US$ 120 million to extend the mine's life by ten years, and the facility might stay in operation beyond 2016/2017.
Together, the Rössing and Langer Heinrich mines would confirm Namibia's position as the top uranium producer in Africa.
The Valencia deposit, lying in the vicinity of the Rössing and Langer Heinrich deposits, was declared uneconomic by Goldfields Namibia, following feasibility studies undertaken in the 1980s. In late-2005 the Canadian company Forsys Metals Corporation acquired the project and now plans to develop an open pit mine by late-2009. At end-March 2007 the results of an environmental impact assessment were awaited.
Namibia is currently the 5th largest uranium producer in the world. Its reasonably assured reserves (at up to US$ 80/kgU) are now put at 151 321 tonnes and are equivalent to nearly 6% of the global total. RAR recoverable at US$ 80-130/kgU are over 31 000 tonnes; Inferred Resources have also been increased and now exceed 123 000 tonnes (in situ), of which almost 100 000 tU would be recoverable at up to US$ 130/kgU.

"C" gave up her "Binkies"
(pacifiers for some of you)
this summer.
It was hard to break a three-year habit.
But she did it-- the dentist
and her pediatrician said we really needed to.
"C"s big sister was still a finger sucker (at age 7)
So the two girls made a pact to quit together.
My little troopers.
I made a deal with "C"
that if she gave up her binkies,
I would take her to
to pick an animal of her choice
to stuff her last
two favorite binkies
That way, she still has them
to sleep with at night.
("E" chose to get two packages of
"Silly Bandz" instead...
Whatever works!)
"C" was so excited!
I made a big deal about the whole thing
and told all of the employees
what we were doing
and how proud I was of her.
It was our first (and only)
trip to Build-A-Bear so it was kind of a big deal
for her.
She selected a
Hello Kitty doll.
It was almost
as big as her!
The nice lady, let "C"
step on the pedal to add the stuffing.
The lady gave her two little red hearts,
(one for each binky)
to put inside of the kitty.
Then, she carefully tucked her
last two (and very favorite)
binkies inside of
Hello Kitty's tummy
before we stitched her up.
After a "bath"
some fluffing.
We checked to make sure
she could still feel those 2 binkies
in her tummy.
Then, we added some pink
Hello Kitty Big Girl undies
and some Pajamas
to complete her new kitty look.
Proud Mama and a happy little girl.
I Love you sweet girl.
(and I sure am proud of your big sister too!)
(and I sure am proud of your big sister too!)
Happy Milestone Memory Making!
pink and green mama,

Oct. 25, 2011 — Ghosts, goblins and other seasonal decorations are popping up around Lassen County, a sure sign that we're preparing for Halloween.
Thanks to our Chamberand other groups, trick-or-treating has become a relatively safe affair for our kids.
But a few words of caution still seem appropriate.
Oct. 25, 2011 — As a Christian I have learned that knowing God's Word is not enough, change takes place when I practice it.
This concept is true in many areas of our lives.
I was reminded of how much I know, yet fail to apply, in the area of healthy behaviors when I went to the clinic for blood work, which is part of the women's health screening offered annually by Northeastern Rural Health Clinics.
Oct. 25, 2011 — I have been frantically knitting and crocheting every night and free moment I have because I have two months to get the gifts I planned on making done.
When it comes to fiber work, I take on more than I can reasonably handle, and that is after starting in June.
I have two afghans in process and a scarf almost done. I have one scarf finished. I will keep stitching away until the last moment.
