From the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool – Larson Falls Flyer and tow car
Many a Volkswagen has been rebodied in fiberglass. From dune buggies to GT40 knockoffs, we thought we'd about seen everything along those lines, until Greg Gjerdingen posted the above shot to the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool, taken at the Willmar Car Club's annual car show back in May. Who would've ever thought to pair a Fifties fiberglass boat with a Volkswagen chassis?
Greg didn't leave many details or the name of a builder, but the photos seem to tell the tale. The Falls Flyer was one of several boat models built by Larson Boat Works in Little Falls, Minnesota, introduced in 1939 as a wooden boat. In 1954, a few years after the 1949 fire that destroyed much of the Larson Boat Works, Paul Larson introduced an updated fiberglass version of the Falls Flyer, which you see on the trailer in these shots. Towing it with a big modern truck would have been too facile; instead, the owner of this Falls Flyer planted a second Falls Flyer body on a VW chassis, added the requisite headlamps, taillamps and tow bar, and painted and trimmed it to match.
We salute you, unnamed Larson Falls Flyer enthusiast. We double salute you if the tow vehicle is amphibious as well.
Another Satko creation designed for land and sea
Our conversations with Michael Sean Sullivan, who believes he may have found the remains of the 1926 Buick engine that motivated Paul Satko's Ark across the country and up to Alaska, revealed something entirely unexpected: Paul Satko's Amphibian, another homebuilt vehicle from the aspiring homesteader.
According to Sullivan, however, the Amphibian was built in the mid-1930s, prior to Satko losing his job as a mechanic and welder in Richmond, Virginia. Recall that Satko had once served in the Marines and sailed to distant ports; evidently, those experiences influenced him more than we'd previously suspected. Whether Miami-based inventor Paul Pankotan took inspiration for his circa 1940 amphibious car from Satko, we may never know.
Sullivan didn't provide us with any more information about the Amphibian than what we see here, so we don't know what powered it or how well it fared in the water. The wheels and steering wheel look like they may have come from a mid-1920s Buick – Satko's donor car of choice for his Ark and his tractor – but the grille shell and headlamps do not.
As for the location of Satko's shop, shown here in another photo of the Amphibian, we tried in vain to pin it down. Any Richmond residents care to weigh in on the location?
Paul Satko's Buick six-cylinder engine found?
All images courtesy Michael Sean Sullivan
In last month's story on the Satko family's Ark, we noted toward the end that parts of the Ark – which not only carried the Satkos over land from Virginia to Washington state but also over sea from Tacoma to Juneau – remain beached near Juneau to this day. Unfortunately, we were never able to find out more about those remains until just recently, when we heard from historian Michael Sean Sullivan, who believes he may have documented the final resting place of the 1926 Buick engine that provided the motivation for the cross-country trip.
In the process of working on a radio documentary on the Satkos, Michael and his colleague Dominic Black visited Eagle Harbor, near Juneau, and on a beach came across an extremely weathered six-cylinder engine that bears many of the hallmarks of a 1926 Buick engine: overhead valves, four main bearings, and the same overall shape and accessory locations. Michael said he and Dominic are almost positive the engine is indeed Paul Satko's and the heart of the Ark – after all, how many 1920s Buick engines can one expect to find along a beach in the same general area as where Satko landed? – but they'd like to know for sure that this is indeed what they believe it to be. So we're turning to our readers in hopes that there's an expert on between-wars Buick six-cylinders out there who can provide that positive identification.
Finally, adding a bit of a twist to the story, Michael sent along some photos of a third vehicle that Paul Satko built – this one a tractor assembled from junk parts in Alaska – which may have used the Buick engine. Check out the shape of the exhaust manifold and the rocker arm cover; the steering wheel looks rather like a Buick piece as well. Did Satko yank the Buick six out of the Ark and build his tractor around it, then for some reason deposit that same six on the beach when it had fulfilled its duty in the tractor? Did Satko obtain a second Buick six along the way or in Alaska? Is that even a Buick engine? At this point, nobody seems to know for sure.
UPDATE (3.October 2011): According to George Dammann, writing in Seventy Years of Buick, there are a few details we should be on the lookout for to identify a 1926 engine. First, while Buick sixes up through 1925 had starter-generator-distributor combination units, for 1926 Buick separated the starter from the generator-distributor. Second, Buick added counterweights to the crankshaft in 1927 to make the engine smoother. This engine appears to have had a 1926-up divorced starter and a pre-1927 crankshaft, so as long as we can trust Dammann, we can fairly definitively say that this is a 1926 Buick engine.
Fletcher Flair – a Porsche designed for paddling
Porsche engines have found their way into a number of interesting one-offs and prototypes over the years, perhaps enough to fill an entire book. Should that ever happen, then certainly a few paragraphs must be dedicated to the Fletcher Flair, which made an appearance at the recent Glenmoor Gathering to take part in the show's class of Porsche prototypes.
The story of the Flair starts with Fletcher Aviation, which was founded in 1941 in Pasadena by the three Fletcher brothers: Wendell, Frank and Maurice. They initially formed the company to build a basic trainer aircraft for the U.S. Army, and in 1953 Fletcher Aviation tried again to secure a government contract, this time with an amphibious Jeep. According to Crismon, the Army at that time was looking for amphibious Jeeps partly to fulfill a requirement that all of its trucks should have some amphibious capabilities, and partly because the World War II-era Ford GPA was long in the tooth and largely unavailable.
Wendell Fletcher, an admirer of Porsche innovation and mechanicals, thus decided to build an amphibious Jeep around an air-cooled Porsche 356 four-cylinder engine, bolting the Porsche drivetrain and suspension to the aluminum tub. He made it light enough (1,475 or 1,490 pounds, depending on your source) to be transported by air and added a special transfer case and front differential to make it four-wheel drive. To make it swim, he adapted the jet-cooling principles of aircraft engineer Otto Koppen (one of the men responsible for the Ford Trimotor and the Ford Flivver), which Fletcher Aviation already had applied to its FD-25 Defender. The system doesn't appear to have worked well at all as a propulsion device, which is likely why many references to the Flair note that the simple turning of its wheels propelled it in the water.

Paul Satko and his Buick-powered Ark
Images courtesy born1945 on Flickr
In 1934, Paul Satko lost his job as a welder and machinist in Richmond, Virginia. Like many other Americans at the time, for months he searched for a job to support his wife, Mollie, and their several children, only to come home in vain. Unlike many other Americans at the time, he refused to accept relief or government handouts to the unemployed. Instead, he heard of a government program offering 40-acre plots in Matanuska Valley in the territory of Alaska and apparently decided that he, his wife and two of their oldest children could combine four lots to create a vast 160-acre farm. Getting there, however, would be another story altogether.
Satko, a Marine Corps veteran who had sailed to China, the Philippines and Hawaii, decided to build himself a boat. However, rather than sail it out of an East Coast port and then on to Alaska, Satko decided to haul it across the country and then launch it from a West Coast port. Basing it on a truck chassis with the rear wheels still attached, he welded the steel frame of the nine-foot-tall, 40-foot-long boat together in Richmond, gathering whatever scrap materials he could find. To tow the boat, he used another truck chassis, stripped to the framerails and re-powered by a 1926 Buick engine – at most a 75hp, 275-cu.in. overhead-valve six-cylinder. In early 1938, he, Mollie, and seven of their nine children then set out from Richmond to Tacoma, Washington, attracting attention the whole way and earning the boat a nickname, the "Ark of Juneau."
By November of that year, they made it to Puget Sound and Satko resumed the construction of the boat, building the rest of the hull out of two-inch-thick fir planks, painted yellow. He filled the bottom of the Ark with cement to force it to draw more water and thus remain more stable in the water, and he powered it with the same Buick engine that he used to lug it across the country. By mid-April 1940, after investing about $2,000 and three years of his time, he finished the Ark and set sail northwards.
ran aground on a sandbar at Magnolia Bluff outside Seattle. After the Coast Guard towed the Ark into port, a fellow sailor, Captain John Fox, executive secretary of the Master, Mates and Pilots' Union, filed a complaint with the county requesting that the children be removed from the boat for their own safety. "This thing has passed beyond the stage of a joke," Captain Fox told the Associated Press. "(The Ark) hasn't enough power for the Alaskan trip. this was demonstrated when it was unable to make headway in a fresh breeze and moved sidewise. She would be a menace to navigation. Pilots would have to be on the alert for her constantly." A judge agreed, and police removed six of the seven children from the boat, arresting Satko in the process for trying to prevent the police from serving the court order.The initial voyage only lasted a few days, curtailed when Satko
He shortly after posted bail, thanks to the help of some friendly Tacoma residents, and set about altering the Ark as the judge requested while the rest of the family – ordered to remain off the Ark – stayed in an apartment in Seattle. Yet a month later, with the alterations incomplete, Satko set sail for Everett, Washington, where he met up with the rest of his family, driven up by supporters who wanted to see them on their way. After a brief stop in Anacortes, Washington, where the Coast Guard refused to allow the Ark to continue, the Satkos left under the cover of darkness to make it to Canadian waters before the Coast Guard could catch up to them. Two months later, they made it to Juneau and eventually homesteaded in the area, though they were never able to obtain the 40-acre plots that set them on their journey. After the war, most of the family returned to Richmond. Parts of the Ark remain beached near Juneau today, according to the Juneau Empire. Paul Satko died in 1957.
UPDATE (28.September 2011): One more photo of the Ark in the water, courtesy Michael Sean Sullivan, who added the tidbit that Satko cooled the Buick engine not with a radiator, but with a series of tubes that ran along the keel.
UPDATE (29.September): It looks like the Buick six-cylinder engine from the Ark has been found, still on a beach in Alaska.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Amphicar
It's summertime, and that means it's time to head to the water. You could go through the expense and trouble of maintaining a boat, a trailer and a truck to haul them with – and that includes storage space for all three – or you could forgo all that, combine the boat and your car, Dr. Moreau style, and cruise the shorelines in this 1962 Amphicar for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description:
Car last in the water July 2005, always stored indoors and is in great condition. Looking for new owner that has time to take this car for a swim.

Part car, part boat, all washed up: the 1907 Ravaillier
What's maddening about this photo of an amphibious automobile from the George Grantham Bain collection in the Library of Congress archives isn't that it's presented in the archives without context – we can easily find out the who, what, when – it's that, despite all of our research, we still don't know precisely why this amphibious automobile was built.
Hans Rosloot's Amphiclopedia identifies the vehicle as the 1907 Ravaillier Canot-Voiture-Touriste, the product of years of tinkering by Parisian Jules Julien Ravaillier. Most sources simply describe Ravaillier as an engineer or inventor, but one German source describes him as an automobile builder; we've yet to find any reference to Ravaillier separate from his invention.
Fortunately, we know a good deal about the Canot-Voiture-Touriste. Essentially a four-passenger steel-hulled powerboat mated to an automobile chassis, a Gontallier 20hp (some sources say 12hp) four-cylinder gasoline engine and three-speed manual transmission sent power via shaft to the propeller at the aft of the boat. To transition to land use, a lever disconnected the propeller and directed power to the rear wheels via chain drive. The steering wheel turned both the front wheels and the rudder. On land, the get-up was worth about 22 MPH; on sea, five-and-a-half miles per hour. If it was having trouble climbing a bank to get out of the water, a capstan toward the front of the canoe-carriage could help pull it to dry land. The solid galvanized steel wheels were fitted with solid rubber tires, and every axle passage through the hull was made watertight. While the engine was water-cooled, the coolant circulated through the two deck-mounted radiators. Brakes were fitted to the transmission and the rear axle hubs.
Ravaillier filed a patent for his Canot-Voiture-Touriste (U.S. Patent 875,210, as a Canoe-Carriage) in the United States in 1907, the same year he made his final trials of the vehicle on the roads of Paris and in the waters of the Seine. Some confusion seems to exist on whether those trials were conducted for the benefit of the French War Department or if the French War Department simply happened to observe the trials. In either case, while the canoe-carriage seemed to have performed admirably, nothing of substance appears to have resulted from Ravaillier's work. An American named George E. Crater, of Stanhope, New Jersey, bought the canoe-carriage and its patent rights and brought it to the United States that year, ostensibly to enter production with it.
Interestingly, it seemed to have gained the name Waterland I on its arrival in the United States, when Crater paraded it up and down the streets of Manhattan before plunging into the Hudson River. A Special Interest Autos article about amphibious automobiles mentioned the Waterland I, but put it in the hands of a Julian P. Thomas. Thomas, an incorporator and presumably the namesake of the New York-based Thomas Battery Company, was best known around the New York City area as a balloonist and early automobile fancier.
The whereabouts of the Ravaillier are unknown.
Flooded Rambler, turnip-trumped Airflow, Plordolet
Charlie Beesley's interests don't just run to old land-speed racers, as one might assume from seeing the pictures of the Kenz and Leslie 777 streamliner that he shared with us last week. Rather, he's been collecting vintage photographs for years, many of which he displays at Reservatory.net, almost all of which come sans context.
I've got somewhere around 50,000 at this point, maybe 20 percent of which is motor related. Cars, trucks, buses, boats, airplanes, trains, tractors; if it has a bit of style, I'm interested. I'm also keen on various social aspects of the automobile, from the ability to go places and do things that wouldn't have been possible otherwise, to the vehicle aging process, to how the personalities of cars and the owners posing proudly beside them sync up. What I'm supposed to do with the accumulation has not been determined at this time. All I know is, I need more.
Thus, we get scenes like the above Rambler in a flood (or is that a stream, with a waterfall in the background?), which would fit in well at Black and WTF.
UPDATE (28.July 2011): Charles posted several more photos that give some context to the above shot.
The border of this one shows a date of September 1942, so we assume the giant turnip came out of the young lass's victory garden. The Airflow, Charlie noted, has been reduced to playing second fiddle.
Finally, for now, what Charlie calls the Plordolet: "The personalized Ford Mainline seems to have acquired a '55-6 Chevy hood ornament and inverted '51-2 Plymouth badge." The photo appears to be prompted by a Californian couple's first glimpse of snow, though where they encountered the white stuff is anyone's guess.
Thanks, Charlie!
"Known in the trade as the 'Eager Beaver'"
After the Jeep, perhaps the most beloved Army vehicle – at least among those who served in the military – is the deuce-and-a-half, originally built by Reo (as the M34) before the Army awarded contracts to build it to Kaiser and AM General (as the M35 and its variants). When first introduced to the general public in 1950, the Army decided to show off the M34's fording capabilities, which included the ability to continue running completely submerged, making for an impressive bit of film as well as a couple Popular Science articles.
Ambitious Amphibious: Ben Carlin's round-the-world trek in a Ford GPA
Ford's GPA might have done well in the Detroit River, but when it went into service during World War II, it proved less than capable in the field. Cumbersome and unwieldy on both land and water, the so-called Seep's production run ended early, after just 12,778 of them emerged from River Rouge. Those that didn't sink during the war were sold off as surplus or simply junked. Their land-going Ford GPW and Willys MB cousins received many more accolades than the GPA ever would.
But that didn't stop one Australian from deciding that the GPA would be the perfect vehicle with which he could circumnavigate the globe.
Ben Carlin, born in 1912 in Northam, Western Australia, studied engineering before spending the duration of World War II in service with the Royal Indian Engineers, reaching the rank of major. Though the GPA didn't live up to expectations, the Allied forces – particularly the Americans, the British, the Canadians and the French – still put it to use in far-flung places like India, where Carlin inspected one in 1945, toward the close of the war. He told a counterpart from the Royal Air Force, Group Captain Malcolm "Mac" Bunting, that with some preparation, he believed a GPA could indeed take him around the world. "Nuts," was the reply, which Carlin took as a challenge.

"In comparing 2004 and 2008 costs, employers and employees are definitely seeing higher dollar costs, but there is also an increase in employee cost- sharing," said Alter. "Employers are now building in incentives to direct employees to the right place for the right care such as increasing co-pays for emergency room care versus lower co-pays for office visits."
Survey respondents represent diverse industries including manufacturing, financial and other services, health care, and non-profit organizations. Twenty-eight percent of the employers surveyed have at least some unionized employees and 25% of survey respondents are considered auto suppliers. The McGraw Wentworth 2008 Mid-Market Group Benefit Survey is statistically valid with a 5% margin of error.
The McGraw Wentworth Mid-Market Group Benefits Survey is the largest of its kind with a total of 569 mid-sized employers participating statewide including 376 Southeast Michigan organizations. Survey data results for southeast Michigan employers was released today. The survey results released today provide local data regarding the extent and effect of cost control strategies such as higher deductibles, higher pharmacy and office visit co- pays, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and spousal surcharges on health care costs in Southeast Michigan. The local market data accurately benchmarks an organization's competitors and can lead to better decision-making about benefits design, say survey organizers.
Results of the McGraw Wentworth 2008 Mid-Market Group Benefits Survey will be shared with survey participants at a series of private interactive seminars during May and June. The survey is sponsored by McGraw Wentworth, Michigan's largest employee group benefit consulting and brokerage firms with offices in Troy and Grand Rapids.

This black table is one of my most recent projects. It was not in perfect condition to start with. Some of the veneer had pieces missing and there was a crack on the top tier. Instead of trying to fill in those areas I embraced them. Below are the steps I took when painting and distressing this piece of furniture.
First, and most importantly, I prepped the piece for paint. As usual, I cleaned it really well with TSP. Next I used 220 grit sand paper to rough it up a bit. Finally I wiped it with a damp cloth to remove dust particles and any remaining residue from the TSP.
Wax Before painting the table I rubbed all of the edges and the detail along the top of the legs with wax. I used an old pillar candle. The wax prevents the paint from adhering and makes distressing a breeze.
Paint I used Dunn Edwards. The color is called Black, pretty straight forward. The sheen is eggshell.
Scrape Using a plastic spatula I rubbled all the areas I had applied wax and watched the paint peel away in those spots.
Sand To smooth it out a bit I quickly and lightly sanded the edges with 100 grit sandpaper.

About Alchemy
My mom is a DIY kind of gal. When I was a kid I remember trips to thrift stores, strolling the hardware store isles, and of course spending hours feeling fabric at the yardage shop. She was constantly transforming bargain buys into treasures for our home. With a fresh coat of paint or a new slipcover, she gave old furniture new life. We have always enjoyed being creative together and in 2008 we turned our hobby and passion into a business.
Alchemy fine living is a creative business. We offer furniture painting services, upholstery, and custom slipcovers. We also sell a few hand crafted items on Etsy.
I'm Deana, the author of this blog. My mom, Connie, taught me from a young age how to spot a deal at a flea market or a thrift shop. She could always spot the hidden potential of an old, worn out piece of furniture. I learned to sew when I was four years old and all through the years I helped my mom with DIY projects around the house.
In 2008 she & I turned our hobby into a business. We re-do old furniture and hand craft items for sale in our Etsy store. For those who, like us, love to DIY we offer lots of tips and advice in our tutorial videos. We also offer furniture painting, upholstery, and sewing services for those who don't want to tackle the project themselves.

Nothing more is occurring,and it's really pissing me off because it's become an important thing in my life, even though it shouldn't be.I welcome anyone to get involved, and if you find yourself interested by what I share, I will put my anonymous email address in the comments for anyone to contact me through.So, a couple years ago I found a website that some of you, most likely not many, have seen before. trueimmortals.netNow, at first glance, this site seems not only ridiculous, but set up. I can honestly tell you all that after reading every single post on the site, and doing 2 years worth of research on it, I have finally come to the conclusion that it has a high chance of being (mostly) non-fiction, and based on a lot of facts.The old archived blog is a story of these people back in 2010 who found very sound evidence of real life immortal beings that live among us.
/b/ - Random. Hi /b/My name is Rebecca Cheers and I am a purist/fully functioning feminist who was told about this part of 4chan, and I am quite astounded to find that what I was told was completely true.Why do all of the insecure, neckbeareded males come to this website to hate on proud, strong feminist women? Is it that we intimidate you? Because let me tell you, if you're a weak man, I dont blame you for being intimidated by such strong, beautiful women. It is my firm belief that all men deserve to be castrated, and please, allow me to tell you why.1. Men are born as violent, inhumane rapists, to hate on men for this isn't fair as they can't help it, thus the need for castration.Comment too long.

Please make sure to post pictures as well, since /d/ is not for /d/iscussion! My fetishes tend to involved powerful women exercising their power (giantess, muscle, etc.) However, what really gets me going is the idea of women so powerful that they unconsciously or unintentionally change the world around them, through involuntary actions such as breathing, heartbeat, etc. For example, one that I've had recently is a giga giantess sleeping, and nearby cities being shaken apart by her heart beat causing massive earthquakes or getting inhaled into her nose.Another I have is a normal sized woman becoming so physically strong that she can't control it.
This fantasy ultimately ends up with her being so stupidly strong that she accidentally inhales the universe.The last one I've had recently involves a horny futanari woman looking to relieve a little sexual stress. /c/ - Anime/Cute.

Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (1902 - 1984) might be one of the best subjects imaginable for a scientific biography. He is also surely one of the worst. In most scientific biographies, presenting the life is easy, but integrating the scientific work proves a struggle. For Dirac, the polarities are reversed. His accomplishments in theoretical physics provide a natural narrative. His life, however, was disjointed, chaotic and almost surreal in its juxtaposition of incongruous elements. In The Strangest Man, Graham Farmelo offers a highly readable and sympathetic biography of the taciturn British physicist who can be said, with little exaggeration, to have invented modern theoretical physics. The book is a real achievement, alternately gripping and illuminating, and the few flaws in the biographical integration are often due to the recalcitrance of the subject himself.
It would have been far easier to tackle only the physics, and surely that would have been enough. Dirac's life spanned most of the 20th century, and he was at the core of its decisive scientific revolution: quantum mechanics. "At the core" is an understatement. As Farmelo sagaciously puts it,
In his heyday, between 1925 and 1933, he brought a uniquely clear vision to the development of a new branch of science: the book of nature often seemed to be open in front of him.
One reason why Dirac's approach was so puzzling was that he was an unusual hybrid -- part theoretical physicist, part pure mathematician, part engineer.

Must have tool for small engine repair. Pulleys, flywheels, gears it gets them done. One set broke on me. The straps connecting the jaws ripped apart and snapped the bolts. However, that puller I've owned for several years and it has been torque to death. What finally broke it was a rusted on 1 inch thick sprocket on a 1 inch axle an outdoor power equipment machine that is close to 10 years old with hundreds of hours of run time in the dirt. I liked the jaw puller well enough that after the first one broke I had to get a replacement. With a little more finesse this second puller got it off. Small engine flywheels, clutches, pulleys, you name it. This gets it done just fine. If you work on small 4 stroke engines this is a most. Good deal,

The jaws themselves seemed surprisingly well made, smooth finish, no casting defects, etc. The links and bolts are total garbage and broke immediately. The 2 threaded pieces are ok, the threads could fit together tighter, and the threads could be smoother finish/better formed, but they have worked so far.After fabbing new links and getting some shoulder bolts I was able to press out 2 hubs on my truck, and pressed in 2 UBJ's that the heavy duty ball joint tool could't press in. The ball joint tool had heavier, coarser threads and couldn't generate the force needed. The tight thread pitch of this puller is an advantage in my opinion because it allows you to generate alot of force.Only recommended if you can and are willing to fab some new links.

recently I went to HARBOR FREIGHT and I was needing a 3 jaw puller and I had also seen the reviews on this puller and decided to give it a try and today I was needing to pull a stubborn flywheel off of a lawnmower motor and let me tell you it was a tough one to get off but anyway IM happy that I bought this puller , I had seen some tips on how to use one of these pullers on VIDEO ON THE INTERNET and I tried it their way and it worked PERFECT , IM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS TOOL AND GLAD I BOUGHT IT
Works like it should
By John
from Ann Arbor
It is easily adjustable which is good and bad. The connections feel really sloppy but it didn't hamper the work I was doing.
Did the job as promised
By Lori
from Indianapolis
I used the puller to remove the flywheel from my lawnmower. I had tried tapping it off before I spent the money on what may well be a one-time use tool. It was a little difficult to get aligned and plumb with the crankshaft because it is so flexible. Even with this I needed to add a breaker bar to the wrench so I shouldn't have been surprised it really popped when it broke loose. If ever use it again, I'll tighten up the nuts & bolts on the joints on the main body and maybe that will stabilize the arms some.

2 pulls and it failed
By Ryan
from Westmont, IL
I used this generic 3 jaw puller to pull some rotors off the hub. I did one rotor, no problem, pulled it right off. I did the 2nd rotor and it pulled that off too, but in doing that, the center shaft threads came off and the center shaft seized up. It is now useless and I will be returning it for either a refund or replacement.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

US' Largest AIDS Group Joins Forces with AMICAALL and FLAS, PSI, the Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Swaziland and the Manzini City Council in Partnership to Provide Life-saving Anti-retroviral AIDS Therapy at New Free
Treatment Center
MANZINI, SWAZILAND and LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), has joined together with AMICAALL (The Alliance of Mayors Initiative for Community Action on AIDS at the Local Level) and FLAS (Family Life Association of Swaziland), two respected local non- governmental organizations (NGOs) to provide comprehensive HIV/AIDS services, including lifesaving anti-retroviral treatment (ART), at a new free clinic at the LaMvelase Help Centre in Manzini, AHF's first site in Swaziland. Other partners include the Kingdom of Swaziland's Ministry of Health (MOH), PSI (Population Services International), and the Manzini City Council. Swaziland, which has the world's highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate, 33.4 percent of adults aged between 15 and 49 are HIV positive, has limited HIV/AIDS and ART services. Before the opening of LaMvelase Help Centre, Manzini, the largest city in Swaziland, had only one hospital providing ART.
"I am very pleased to announce that we treated our first patients -- and began delivering lifesaving anti-retroviral treatment -- in the Kingdom of Swaziland at the LaMvelase Help Centre," said Bernard Okongo, MD, Africa Bureau Chief for AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the largest US-based AIDS organization which operates free AIDS treatment clinics in the US, Africa, Central America and Asia. "We are partnering with AMICAALL and FLAS, PSI, the Ministry of Health and the Manzini City Council in this lifesaving collaboration, and we are honored to work together to bring AIDS treatment and care to many of those in need in Swaziland."

She has such a great rear.
isn't her career over with….no respect for her.
No not really! She's tryin' to make things better for her and her kids. She could either walk away from all this and spend more time with kids or she could continue to make hit albums, shake and bake on American Idol and get lucrative deals, make hit movies and spend more time with that broke ass boy toy Casper. Which will it be? It could be either, its her choice! Her kids come first and then her career. Her career most of all keeps her busy and thats why she should drop Casper the ghost, like kick him to the curb! Lower her schedule to where she spends more time with her kids, she needs to reduce her schedule or work around it.

Top 5 Most Popular Motor Trend Nissan GT-R Videos... So Far
Lets not forget the 350-375z evolution as well...
Hey... your writing is improving ( albeit slightly...)! Attaboy!!! Not sure when reliability comparisons became relevant to this particular article (or any comments posted on it, for that matter), but you're making progress. Good for you! LOL!
I'll assume that was an attempt to imply that English isn't your first language... hardly definitive, since online translators are free. Either way, it doesn't matter: you still sound childish, & without posting facts to back up your Porscheclaims, you're just another childish troll as far as I'm concerned. Wanna try again, kiddo? C'mon... you can do better than that :)
Nissan didn't want to cover blown transmission on my brothers 2010 gtr with 6k miles. They said "the car wasn't intended to be used on track". Car has never been on track. Case pending.
I'll stick with germans!
Du hast recht, ich werde darauf warten du schwulle sau ;)
Ooops, that wasn't english ... hmmmm gotta take some grammar lessons from you.
Still no turkey for teens!
I realized just how low your level was from the minute you posted your first comment. Tell you what: take some grammar & spelling lessons, wait a few years until puberty hits & then I might be inclined to continue this discussion. And despite your repeatedly childish rantings, I'll be the grownup & still wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. :)
I had to lower my level so you understand.
Truth hurts ;)
No turkey for you and "your" 911 today mister!
Oops... that comment didn't belong here. Sorry about that
Children only know how to hurl childish insults. Keep it up… you're making quite a case for yourself. LOL!
Children only know how to hurl childish insults. Keep it up... you're making quite a case for yourself. LOL!
Of course you do. If I've said veyron, you would've own one. Grow up, move out of your parents home and pay off your toyota corola first.
Typical silly response. I own a 911. It's not the first one I've owned either. 911s don't get comprehensively upgraded every year.
... every 911 carrera. Get informed teeny!
I partially agree with you on that statement, but you need to look at how much the price has increased too.
I dunno which new cars you're talking about, but I have to emphatically disagree. It's not at all common for cars to evolve this comprehensively year after year. Minor tweaks here & there, sure (like ICE upgrades, interior materials, wheel/tire changes etc) but nothing as comprehensive as this (interior upgrades, ICE upgrades, transmission upgrades, completely re-engineered suspension, completely revised valvetrain, revised intake & exhaust ports, increased boost, better fuel economy, wheels & tires... and more...) as far as I'm aware. Please, include the names of some of those cars you speak of, & list the mods. Since "every new car does the same thing year after year", it should be pretty easy to back up your statement.
I don´t see what is so amazing about the gtr evolving. Every new car does the same thing year after year.
Is there a more celebrated car? Man!!!
You can find a new GT-R article almost everyday on different sites.

Have You Ever Carved A Jack-o-lantern?
The topic of carving a pumpkin came up the other day in the office and I was surprised by how many of my co-workers had never carved a jack-o-lantern.

The majority of America eats junk food on a regular basis. With its affordability and fast service, too many families eat at places like McDonald's rather than a home cooked meal. Could all of these junk foods be the cause for more problems than just obesity?

I know this wasnt made as a huge thing, you said so yourself, but could you please work on it a bit, not majorly, just to the point where i can play it for a couple hours and not get tired of it?

This is a quite a interesting game. However, the game certainty lacks some features which is no sound for guns, no background music, and the models don't respond as well. The good thing about it is that it's all original ^.^

Anyone Use Both Dvd-r And Dvd-rw?

Has anyone tested both DVD-R and DVD-RW? There appears to be a huge difference in operation between the two.. The first media I tested with backups worked great, Optodisk DVD-RW (from esbuy.com) .. the laser was quiet and everything ran as smoothly as the original discs. They were kind of pricey so I wanted to try out some cheaper discs.
I next tried the Princo white-topped DVD-R's. First thing I noticed was that the laser was making a lot of noise and would get occasional dirty disc errors in whatever game I was loading up..
The next batch I tried was Ritek silver top/purple dye generation 3 DVD-R's.. since I read that those were good for xbox/ps2 backups.. I had no dirty disc errors, but the laser mechanism sounds substantially louder than that for DVD-RW..
My question is do all of you who use DVD-R media experience the loud laser seek noises? Was reading on ps2 forums that for them loud ps2 noises means an earlier death for the laser assembly and means a costly replacement.. Also read that the main difference between cheap and expensive media is the reflectivity coefficient..

I've been using DVD+RW to try things out before commiting to DVD+R, and have notice any differences between the two. Noise or speed. My xbox has got a thompson drive.

Zambian Election Marks Africa's Democratic Shift Vote Was One of Continent's Most Peaceful Transitions to Democracy
John Battersby, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
THE landslide electoral defeat of Kenneth Kaunda's ruling party in a peaceful ballot over the weekend could mark the turning point in Africa's march to democracy.
The democracy movement in Africa is picking up the momentum of the tide that swept governments from power in Eastern Europe two years ago, a Western diplomat says.
Western diplomats predict that Kenya, Malawi, and Zimbabwe will be the first nations to feel the spin-off effects of the Zambian poll. The vote could also speed up faltering transitions to democracy in Angola, South Africa, and Mozambique.
"It will be much more difficult for oppressors to keep people oppressed after what has happened here," said former United States President Jimmy Carter, who headed an international monitoring team that declared the Zambian ballot "free and fair."
President Frederick Chiluba's Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) crushed the ruling United National Independence Party (UNIP) by winning at least 124 of the 150 parliamentary seats after surprisingly low voter turnout of less than 50 percent. Kaunda was confident
Dr. Kaunda, who had led the country since independence in 1964, appeared confident of a landslide victory until polling day, which bolstered his critics' charges that he had lost touch with the nation he founded 27 years ago.
The significance of the Zambian poll lies in the fact that it was the culmination of one of the most peaceful transitions to democracy in Africa. It is the first former British colony to change its head of state through democratic elections - and one of only a handful ever to have done so.
Mr. Chiluba garnered 76 percent of the presidential vote against Kaunda's 24 percent. The extent of the MMD'S victory surpassed even its most optimistic predictions.
Zambia joins eight other African states which are classified as democratic by Richard Joseph, director of the African Governance Program at the Carter Center of Emory University. Impact on Africa
The Zambian transition is going to have more of an impact on Africa than any other that has taken place on the continent, said Mr. Joseph, a leading member of Mr. Carter's monitoring team.
According to the Center, 30 African states are in the process of transition to democracy, and only six qualify as "authoritarian systems in which rulers have no accountability.
Carter has appealed to the Bush administration to reward Zambia's commitment to democracy by targeting it as a priority nation for United States aid.
"I hope that my government will take the leadership in calling on the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the lending institutions to move boldly to give Zambia assistance - not handouts," Carter said.
"I think this would be an investment which would pay rich dividends ... to see democracy strengthened here," he added. He also called for Zambia's $8 billion in foreign debt to be written off.
Foreign investment would enable Chiluba to show early benefits in the pitiful state of Zambia's schools and hospitals.
International monitoring teams, which included a Commonwealth team and a group of British jurists, played a key role in ensuring a fair ballot. …

Last year, the Hadopi measures were put into effect and by October some 25,000 warnings letters a day were being sent out by ISPs to suspected filesharers. The UK is expected to implement a similar warning letter system later this year, once a decision has been made on how the costs will be shared.
A survey, however, by ZDNet.fr has found that just 4% of filesharers polled said they have stopped sourcing music from illegal services for fear of detection.
It adds that 15% of filesharers are carrying on as normal, 9% said they would continue to fileshare but be more vigilant while 6% felt no action was needed as they were sure they could not be identified.
The study also found, however, that 80% of those polled said they never or hardly ever use filesharing services, suggesting willingness to embrace illegal P2P services is not as widespread as perhaps feared.
Against this legislation, the French government backed the Carte Musique scheme, where it underwrites 50% of the cost of 1m EUR50 (?41.80) download cards a year to encourage young consumers to use legal services. Within the first few weeks of the scheme going live over 10,000 consumers in France had signed up.

"We put together a model looking at the variety of treatment arms on this clinical trial, each of which included 600 patients," said Cohn. "Given the fact that the addition of the drug was associated with 3.8 months of additional survival without cancer, we set out to determine whether or not that benefit of survival was justified by the expense of the drug."
The model showed that standard chemotherapy for patients in the clinical trial would cost $2.5 million, compared to $78.3 million for patients who were treated with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab, plus additional maintenance treatments of bevacizumab for almost one year.
Bevacizumab has been used in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved it for the treatment of colorectal, lung, breast, brain (glioblastoma) and renal cell cancers.
Typically each treatment with bevacizumab costs $5,000, with most of those costs directly attributable to the cost of the drug, Cohn said.
Effectiveness was defined as months of progression-free survival, and costs were calculated as total costs per strategy. Cost-effectiveness strategies were defined as the cost per year of progression-free survival. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was defined as the costs per progression-free life-year saved.
"Ultimately, we found that if you reduced the drug cost to 25 percent of the baseline, it does become cost effective to treat patients with bevacizumab," said Cohn. "Or, if the survival could be substantially increased above the 3.8 months of progression-free survival, that could lead to cost-effective treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer."
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer, with almost 14,000 women expected to die from the disease this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
"It is anticipated that in the
