As you progress in the hobby (or are looking to clean up some 3D prints) and start looking to remove those little pieces of leftover sprue that's attached to your model as well as mold lines and other imperfections, you'll likely discover sanding sticks—a fantastic tool that will make your life much easier.
If you've not yet discovered sanding sticks, they're basically like an emery board used for fingernails, but sandwiched between the sandpaper is a cushioned core, allowing it to sand flat, but allowing some give so you don't gouge surrounding detail when you're attacking a raised mold line.
The downside of sanding sticks is that they can be expensive, like this set from Squadron on Amazon; basically $2 per sanding stick (one is a multi-grit, but still). You can also go through them fairly quickly depending on projects and quality of the kits you're putting together—which can become expensive in a hurry.
There is, however, a much cheaper alternative!
When I hear the term "Nail File" I think of that thin metal file that comes in every personal grooming set ever made.
However, it actually seems to refer to something that looks a lot like our sanding sticks. Actually, they ARE our sanding sticks—and far more available and less expensive than the stuff marketed to us hobbyists.
This set from Amazon comes in at $0.74 each and has a few more grits available than the Squadron set listed above.
So just by searching "Nail File" on Amazon or Ebay, you'll find a huge variety of sanding sticks, in every color, grit and quantity available.
Another source of nail files are beauty supply stores, like Sally Beauty. I know the Sally shop in my town has a huge variety of nail files, and while more expensive than the offerings online, they are still cheaper than hobby sanding sticks. The nice thing there is you're not waiting for shipping, and the money spent helps your community. The downside for a lot of guys however, is going into a store that's marketed to women. However, it's usually a pleasantly quick trip and the staff has always been very personable to me. As an added bonus for those of you using SLA/DLP printers, beauty supply stores also sell Isopropyl Alcohol in gallon sizes—although it does have a scent added to it that makes it smell like a beauty salon (or maybe the scent makes the salon smell like the alcohol, I dunno).

Physician Convicted of HIPAA Violations
October 16, 2019 June 6, 2018 by Jenny Wilson
As most of you know, health information of patients is protected by the law. Well, there have been instances when physicians have not respected the protection of such information. By disclosing them to third parties, they violated the law and were convicted of HIPAA violations. No physician or healthcare provider has the power to disclose private health-related information about their patients. After all, in the words of the law, "[e]xcept pursuant to an in compliance with § 164.508(a)(4), a covered entity or business associated may not sell protected health information." (45 CFR § 164.502(5)(ii)(A)). Like every law, there are exceptions to this one as well. However, they are quite limited and always require the consent of the patient in question. Even if you get the patient's consent, there are various other things that you need to tick before you can disclose confidential information. We will be sharing just one case of a physician being in violation of this law. We won't be naming the physician in this article. What matters is understanding the lessons to be learned from this story.
The Case in Springfield
A physician was convicted in Springfield, Massachusetts, by a federal jury. It was proven that they disclosed their patients' private healthcare information to a sales representative of a pharma company. The company in question was Warner Chilcott. This transfer of information was done without getting the consent of the patients involved. Hence, it was a direct violation of HIPAA. Both the physician and pharma company were convicted. The pharma company admitted to its involvement in 2015 and accepted that it lied to agents during the course of the investigation. By the end of the trial, it was concluded that the physician violated HIPAA and gave information about their patients to Warner Chilcott. By gaining private and insightful information about the patients, Allergan (a subsidiary company of Warner Chilcott) was able to target customers accordingly with expensive osteoporosis medications. The medications that were mainly pushed by them were Actonel and Atelvia. The pharma company used the insight to micro-market and target customers more effectively, which is not just a violation but also ethically wrong. Once the guilty parties were convicted, penalties were levied. The pharma company had to pay the government $125 million. The physician in question had their license revoked and had to pay a penalty as well.
What Does This Mean for Physicians?
While the other party did manage to get out of the situation by paying the penalty, it is important to understand that the implication of a HIPAA violation is much harsher for a physician. Here are some things you need to learn from this case: a) If you violate the HIPAA clause, you might end up being criminally prosecuted. While you will almost always bid your license goodbye, in other cases, you might also have to do some time in prison. It all depends on the severity of the breach. b) Any fraudulent payments that are made to you by a company wishing to access your patients' information should never be accepted. While you may see it as a way to earn some quick cash, if you get caught, the consequences are scary. c) Your relationship with a given pharma company must be disclosed to your patients. Your patients should know if you have a deal to prescribe a given company's medicine. Regardless, you can't give your patient's information to the company.
Make sure you abide by the rules. Don't tread on dangerous grounds and respect your patients' private healthcare information. Don't put your career at stake for a few extra bucks.

President Abel Pacheco has promised not to fall into the irresponsible populism or into dehumanized neoliberalism as he outlined his national development plan.
The president then used his Sunday night television address later to plug his plan and take credit for events that already have happened, such as the finalization of a free trade treaty with Canada, certain road projects and a French promise to improve the Daniel Oduber international airport in Liberia.
Pacheco said that his development plan already has started and the fundamental goal is to reduce poverty.
The plan basically builds on what Pacheco said all along: that poverty can be reduced by more training, education and more equal distribution of opportunities.
He also said that harmony with the environment, economic stimulation, citizen security and justice as well as transparency of government actions would be key elements.
The Pacheco proposals were abstract, and there was no direct statement on how development would compensate for a worsening national economy. However, Pacheco did admit that the job would be a "titanic" one.
to placate those who might worry that the president would adopt a course of action that would endanger the existing social welfare programs. The word refers to those who would seek to break up the country's utility, insurance and Internet monopolies, as former President Miguel Angel Rodríquez tried.
In order to reach his goals, Pacheco said he envisioned a continual dialogue between various sectors of the economy, including the universities, unions, business leaders and professionals.
Another key element is approval by the Asemblea Nacional of the emergency and permanent fiscal plans that will increase the taxes to the state and help Pacheco cut the annual deficit.
Pacheco said that the development plan will be followed to the letter by all the agencies of the state.
In his television talk Pacheco praised work at the Liberia airport and said it soon would be able to accommodate three passenger jets at one time. Then he said travelers would be able to visit both Costa Rica and Nicaragua and get "two countries for the price of one" by using the airport. That was the first indication of a possible joint tourism plan with Nicaragua.
Pacheco has presented other development proposals in the past, including a goal to increase tourism 5 percent per year. How this plan dovetails with other pronouncements is yet to be seen.
The Villalobos crisis resulted in an astounding 71.7 percent increase in hits during October for the A.M. Costa Rica Web site.
An independent statistical program catalogues 552,877 "hits" at the site. In September some 321,997 hits were recorded.
The statistics are more than an artifact of readership. They reflect the deep, international concern about the fate of Luis Enrique Villalobos Camacho and his borrowing operation.
Readership doubled after Oct. 14 when Villalobos announced that he was suspending his operation at Mall San Pedro. Daily hits immediately jumped from the 14,000-to-15,000 range on weekdays to 25,000 to 30,000. This newspaper has provided almost daily coverage.
Other indicators of readership showed increases. "Page views," the number of Internet pages read, showed an increase of 58.1 percent, from 106,321 to 168,128, the program showed.
"Sessions," that is a period when the same computer views several pages, increased from 27,816 to 41,592, or 49.5 percent.
"We certainly accept the increase in readership as a validation that we are doing a good job covering the story," said Jay Brodell, editor. "But we wish the increase had come as a result of a less painful situation."
Villalobos has borrowed money from more than 6,000 persons, mostly North American and foreign. Many are not in Costa Rica now.
The bulk of the information about the Villalobos situation is being carried by computer, not just in A.M. Costa Rica but by several discussion lists related to Costa Rica.
Two organizations that have different strategies on how to safeguard investors' money also have set up Web sites.
The second group is the United Concerned Citizens, Residents & Friends of Costa Rica. This group advocates taking no legal action now. A public forum has been established. A member of the executive committee, Michael Nystrom-Schut of Tibás said that one reason for the discussion list was because it was more efficient that an answering service the group is using.
Police raided the Villalobos operation July 4, and the businessman continued paying the 2.8 to 3 percent interest in each of the next two months. However, he suspended operation Oct. 14 when he was supposed to pay interest for a third month. Investigators had frozen local bank accounts.
A number of individuals inside and outside of Costa Rica depend on the Villalobos payments for their daily needs. The suspension caused a serious dislocation in the economy represented by North American residents.
A police raid Friday morning took into custody a man believed to be the leader of a gang that killed a Canadian man and a woman from Argentina in separate evening robberies.
Police captured the man in a dwelling in Calle Blanco in the Canton of Goicoechea in northeastern San José. Agents identified him by the last names of Fonseca Rojas. They said he was 24.
The raid was a joint effort of several agencies, including the homicide and car theft sections of the Judicial Investigating Organization.
Agents said the investigation started in September when a couple was surprised on a lover's lane overlook and the woman was held hostage for a time.
group was set upon by four persons in a car on the Calle de la Amargua and the woman was shot by one of the robbers. The woman was Daniela Castro. She had been in the country for about a year. Robbers got 2,000 colons or about $5.40.
The Canadian, a teacher at the Universidad Interamericana, died early Oct. 22 when he was confronted by a group of men near his home in Heredia. The victim, Bradley Michael Whipple, 25, had been in the country only three months. He was teaching English and had a goal of learning Spanish.
The shooting took place not far from the central plaza of Heredia. Whipple was from St. Johns, New Brunswick.
The murders were distinguished by their randomness, the fact that the robbers got little for their effort and the overwhelming violence. With that in mind, police Friday used shock troops to break into the home and make the arrest. There was no serious resistance.
MEXICO CITY, México — Defense attorneys for two Mexican Army generals convicted of drug trafficking Friday say they will appeal. But, the two military men face other charges that could keep them in jail for many years.
The military court found Gens. Arturo Acosta Chaparro and Francisco Quiros Hermosillo guilty of drug smuggling and related charges. The court sentenced Quiros to 16 years in prison and Acosta to 15 years. Both were convicted of helping smuggle drugs for drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes, who died in 1997 after botched plastic surgery to change his appearance. Quiros was also found guilty of taking bribes from the drug trafficker.
The two men also face separate charges in connection with the deaths of more than 130 people in the so called "dirty war" against leftist revolutionaries in the 1970s. This is the first time high ranking officers have been charged for crimes related to that period.
Mexican defense department officials say the trial of the two generals represents a victory in the war against drug trafficking as well as a high profile crackdown on corruption.
But defense attorneys say the case against the two men was flawed because it relied on the testimony of criminals, who they say are unreliable witnesses. The attorneys plan to appeal the verdict before the military Supreme Court.
The trial also drew fire from dissident army Gen. Jose Francisco Gallardo, who called it a farce. He was released from prison earlier this year after Mexican President Vicente Fox commuted his sentence. Human rights groups had complained that his 1993 conviction on corruption charges was an attempt by the military establishment to silence him after he criticized the army.
Gallardo said the trial of the two generals that ended Friday resembles his own case. He said the trial was a show staged by Defense Minister General Gerardo Clemente Vega Garcia and that the only way for real justice to be done would be to try the men in a civilian court.
For his part, Gen. Vega has defended the military proceedings as a sign that no one in the military, no matter their rank, is above the law. He says the trial has strengthened the military and its ability to carry on the fight against drug smuggling.
BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian authorities are searching for at least 30 people who are missing following a mudslide in a remote northern town.
Officials say four people are confirmed dead after mud and rocks washed over the village of Montecristo, some 400 kilometers north of the capital, Bogota. Authorities initially said six people were killed in the disaster that occurred earlier in the week.
Severe weather and rough terrain are hampering emergency efforts. Reports say an armed group has set up a blockade that is preventing emergency workers from traveling to the affected area.
QUITO, Ecuador — Trade ministers from the Western Hemisphere's 34 democratically governed nations have established a good framework for creating a free trade area of the Americas, said U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick.
At the first Summit of the Americas in 1994, the presidents of the Western Hemisphere's 34 democratic nations agreed to pursue the establishment of free trade area of the Americas. And on Friday, the trade ministers from these countries convened in here to continue their efforts to create a hemispheric free trade zone by 2005 that will comprise more than 800 million consumers.
At the conclusion of the session, the trade ministers released a 40-point declaration that outlines the objectives and importance of the free trade agreement: "We consider that the establishment of the FTAA, through increased trade flows, trade liberalization and investment in the hemisphere, shall contribute to growth, job creation, higher standards of living, greater opportunities and poverty reduction in the hemisphere."
The declaration also establishes guidelines and for the ongoing negotiations and provides "a good framework to go forward," according to Zoellick.
At a press conference following the closing of the session, Zoellick singled out several important accomplishments set forth in the declaration. First, he noted that the declaration establishes a "very specific schedule," for crucial market access negotiations that will set a timetable for reducing and eliminating tariffs.
Zoellick said that the ministers also assigned countries to chair the nine negotiating groups that will work in the areas of market access, investment, services, government procurement, dispute settlement, agriculture, intellectual property rights, subsides, and anti-dumping and competition policy.
The ministers also agreed to launch a Hemispheric Cooperation Program to strengthen the ability of the region's smaller and less developed economies to participate in trade talks and benefit from hemispheric trade.
The declaration also reaffirms the ministers' commitment to transparency in the free trade process, and Zoellick applauded the decision to publish the draft text of the agreement.
Successful control of measles outbreaks in some nations of the Americas proves that the disease can be controlled if a recommended vaccination campaign is followed, according to findings from the Pan American Health Organization.
The health organization recommends an initial mass vaccination program for children ages 9 months to 14 years, with routine follow-ups. After four years, another widespread campaign should be conducted to target youngsters born since the previous round of inoculations, it says.
The regional health agency recommends that programs achieve 95 percent vaccination rates for children in every municipality in every country.
The organization reports in a news release that measles cases declined from approximately 250,000 cases in the Americas in 1990 to 2,109 in 1996. With a resurgence in the late 1990s in several countries, caused by a different measles strain, case numbers rose again, but the organization reports no cases of that strain have been reported in more than a year.
The new measles strain, called D-9, had never before been seen in the Americas. It appeared in Venezuela and Colombia in 2001. Significant vaccination campaigns have also brought that strain under control, the organization said.
SANTIAGO, Chile — Delegates from 160 countries are meeting at a conference in Chile to discuss the survival of wildlife throughout the world.
The U.N. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species opened Sunday in Santiago, with calls for governments and private donors to allocate more resources to conservation. A proposal to allow African nations to resume some ivory exports is expected to dominate the 12-day convention.
For more than a decade, the convention has greatly restricted the sales of ivory products from elephants. But southern African countries, namely Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Zambia, have said they want the rules changed so they can sell their existing stockpiles of ivory.
Saturday, 22 African nations passed a resolution allowing South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe to sell up to 70 tons of ivory from stockpiles. The convention must approve the proposal for it to become legal.
Wildlife officials in other African countries such as Kenya fear that relaxing ivory regulations could lead to a serious increase in elephant poaching.

To begin with, HDMI stands for high definition multimedia interface. The name would basically give you a description of what the cable does. It is used in transmitting high definition video and audio through a single cable. These cables are mostly used as Audio and Video equipment in devices such as Blu-ray DVD players and HDTVs. An important HDMI cable info is that it is very similar to an USB cable. The main characteristic feature of an HDMI cable is that it has 19 wires inside it. These wires are wrapped inside a single HDMI cable. The HDMI cable info tells us that these cables can transmit a bandwidth of 10.2 Gbps. This is considered something remarkable because this is twice as much bandwidth that is needed to transmit multi channel audio and video. All these unique characteristics of HDMI cable ensures that it will be around us for many periods to come.
The HDMI cable info is easily available in the Internet. You can type in HDMI cable info as the keyword and find all those information that is required for you before actually buying a product. There are many advantages that an HDMI cable has over its predecessors. It includes the component video, composite video, and the s video. HDMI is an uncompressed and pure digital source while all its predecessors are analogue. The difference between an analogue cable and others is very simple. The analogue cable takes in a digital signal and converts it into a less clear analogue signal. This signal is then transmitted into TV. The signal is converted back into a digital signal which is displayed on the screen. The disadvantage that all these conversion causes to these signals is that it will decrease its quality and it will result in a poorer video and picture quality. But the HDMI cable retains the original digital signal and thus offers the sharpest and clearest images and audio possible.
The next possible HDMI cable info you should be aware of is that the cable is available in the market in different versions. The cable has been technically improved from time to time and several improved versions of the cable are available in the market. You can different versions of HDMI cable info from your nearby electronic store or from the Internet. Each version of HDMI cable is physically the same and is made of the same connectors as well. All newer versions of HDMI cable are backward compatible to their predecessors, therefore you need not worry about the version of HDMI cable you purchase. It is known from the HDMI cable info from the Internet that all video or audio equipment irrespective of the year their purchase is compatible with any HDMI cable version.
The latest HDMI cable info is that a new version HDMI is available in the market. It has a bandwidth of 340 MHZ. From the reviews in the Internet on the latest version, the HDMI cable info we get is that this cable is much faster than its predecessors. This new version has incorporated 'Deep Colour' feature, which can handle 10 bit, 12 bit and up to 16 bit colour for a possible one billion colours. As for audio, the new version has the ability to give output of compressed audio signals such as DTS-HD Master audio and Dolby TrueHD. The basic HDMI cable info is that the new version fits in for all our basic needs.
The last thing but not the least HDMI cable info that you should know is the price of the cable. From the sources of HDMI cable info available to us we know that the price is from £10 to £100. All these HDMI cable info would prove fruitful to anyone who is going to buy this product.

Williams, Robertson Rally Oklahoma Past Oklahoma St, 97-93
Saturday, January 21st 2023, 9:21 pm
NORMAN, Okla. -
Madi Williams scored a season-high 26 points and Taylor Robertson scored 15 after halftime and No. 15 Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State 97-93 on Saturday.
The Sooners rallied from a double-digit deficit for the second-straight Saturday to remain atop the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma rallied to beat Kansas last week and have won 13 of 14.
Ana Llanusa scored 17 points for Oklahoma (16-2, 6-1) to surpass 1,500 career points. Liz Scott added 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
Lexy Keys scored at the basket with 8:44 left to give OSU a 77-70 lead, but Navaeh Tot and Ana Llanusa hit back-to-back 3s to get within one a minute later. Skylar Vann's 3 with 4:03 left put the Sooners in front for good, 86-84.
Robertson hit 2 of 4 from distance and is now three shy of the all-time 3-point record of 497 set by Kelsey Mitchell.
Oklahoma plays at No. 25 Texas Wednesday before facing No. 18 Iowa State Saturday. Oklahoma State plays host to Kansas State Wednesday.

Q: Multiple lines of text next to image (CSS-HTML) I am trying to put 2 lines of text next to an image, sort of like this
_________
|       | Line one of text
| image |
|       | Line two of text
---------

This is the code that I have so far

Line one of text

    Line 2 of text

 .banner p {
  font-family: "Gentium Basic";
  font-size: 19px;
  text-align: center;
  color: #aaa;
  margin-top: -10;
  display: block;
 }
.banner img {
  float: center;
    margin: 5px;
 }
 .banner span {
  padding-top: 50px;
  font-size: 17px;
  vertical-align:top;
 }
  .banner .ban2 span {
  padding-top: 50px;
  font-size: 17px;
  vertical-align:top;
 }

But currently it does this:
_________
|       | Line one of text
| image |
|       |
---------
Line two of text

I have looked all over the web but have not been able to figure out how to do this, any help would be very welcome.

A: Here is a snippet using a svg so you can test it anywhere.

.img{
    float: left;
    margin-right:1rem;
}

  <svg class="img" width="50" height="50" >
    <rect width="50" height="50" style="fill:black;"/>
  </svg>

    Line 1

    Line 2

A: I know this post is old but wrap your element in a div and apply the vertical-align:top to this div and you're done.

A: There's no such thing as float: center; You can choose either left, right, or none.
http://jsfiddle.net/vd7X8/1/
If you float: left; on the image it will do what you're after.
If you want it centered, then you're going to have to wrap the image and the text in a container, fix the width of the container and do margin: 0 auto; on it, then continue to have your image floated--except it will be constrained by the wrapper.

A: Here is my demo which have using float and overflow with some explain

.div1 {
     border: 3px solid #0f0;
     overflow:auto; // without overflow here, if the "Line 1" and "Line 2" is short then "Next elements" will display below "Line 2" and the image will cover the "Next elements"
}
.img {
    float: left;
    width:100px;
    height:100px;
    background: #000
}
.div2 {
    float: left; // without float here, if "Line 1" and "Line 2" is long -> text will display both at right and bottom the image
}

 Line 1

 Line 2

Next elements

Hope it help

A: Check it. It is well defined css.
<!DOCTYPE html>

      <title>Selectors</title>

Line one of text
               Line 2 of text

A: I know this is old post, but still wanted to say that not only float will do it, the  tag has a built-in attribute called align="left" which does that as well

 Line one of text

 Line 2 of text

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/356akcoy/

A: I suggest using the old tables that works great. In terms of CSS it is just needed to add the vertical-align: top property.

        This is a very long text that creates multiple lines with the image at left side

Well we did it, we completed our tour of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in a Hindustan Ambassador and I'm alive to tell the story.
Forget parachuting out of planes, base-jumping, skiing off the side of mountains and swimming with sharks. You don't know what an adrenaline sport is until you've driven a bashed up Ambassador with dodgy gears and brakes down 36 hairpin bends in a row whilst battling with trucks and buses that refuse to stop for anyone. Sitting in the back of our chauffered car in Mumbai all this time, I had not quite appreciated the kind of heart stopping, nerve wracking and life threatening job our driver has to deal with on a daily basis. Give that man a pay rise!
But this was an experience never to be forgotten - a truly unique holiday. Apologies for the very long blog post.
One of the many crazy things your see on Indian roads!
Eight days of our twelve day holiday was spent driving through 1,200 kms of the most beautiful scenery in India - through the backwaters and tea plantations of Kerala, through the paddy fields of Karnataka and the mountainous Western Ghats which straddles these states. We drove through rural villages where some people probably hadn't seen a white face since the last Ambassador tour had driven by a year ago, through the slow traffic of bustling towns, up and down mountains, through tiger reserves and across the flat plains of Tamil Nadu. We drove on organised tarmacked roads and we drove on disregarded tracks with more craters than the planet Mars. At every turn was a different driving experience, a different view, a different flavour. I loved it.
But first we had to get to the point where we (or should I say Mr Jules) could operate a car such as an Ambassador. The first day we arrived at Calicut in Kerala, we had a day off to relax and start to get to know other people arriving to take part on the tour. In the evening, we had a private sit down dinner with all the other participants, Steve (tour leader and charismatic owner of Classic Car Journeys) and his team of organisers and helpers. It was at this time that we were introduced to the route map and were given an in depth talk about what to expect on Indian roads (man did I feel sorry for anyone who had not previously driven on one!), health and safety, food safety, what was expected from us (road and maintenance 'etiquette'), a short talk on the Ambassador car itself - not the most modern or accessorised car ever built! - and we were then asked to draw a number out of a bag to determine which car we would take on. Lady Luck picked No. 5 - our car for the duration. We immediately went outside to have a look at her (I say her, as the organisers refer to the cars as 'old ladies' and they are about right!). Of course all the cars were the same in reality, some older than others, one or two a colour other than white, but some would definitely have better braking and gears than other and some would definitely be cleaner inside than others. As it turned out, ours was one of the dirtier and less 'brakier' ones. But this did not deter us. It would all be part of the fun.
The next day we took a slow drive from our hotel to a beach side location where we all stopped for lunch and a paddle and then went on to the bustling town of Calicut. I wouldn't say she purred along...this is definitely a car with Emphysema. Anyway, the short drive helped us all get used to the mechanics of driving - with no power steering, soft braking, four gears, and no hand brake. This meant that every time you parked on an incline, you needed a brick to stop you rolling backwards or forwards! Surprisingly, I could see that most people were taking to the driving like ducks to water. After getting used to the gears and the steering (this car is like a tank!), Mr Jules got along just fine although I am sure that our experience of Indian roads helped us a little.
Mental support was plenty. Dave, who is basically in charge of road safety, is an ex-police traffic officer with years of experience who has attended this tour for the last seven years. Together with Steve, he gave us the low down every morning. He knows everything there is to know about Indian roads, the mechanics of the Ambassador and Indian driving psyche. He's quite a nature expert too! We always kicked off the day with a briefing - a quick flick through the route-book to ensure no diversions or changes to the route, what to expect, what scenery and wildlife we might see en-route, how to handle the traffic and particularly pesky buses. The buses were the most menacing and annoying of all vehicles we encountered. They zoom past to overtake without regard for you or oncoming traffic, be it on a half made road, a 45 degree hairpin bend or a roadside full of school children. The sheer arrogance of the drivers takes your breath away and you take them on at your own peril - but it all adds to the adrenaline fix.
The second day was another fairly gentle introduction to driving but a longish one - a drive from Calicut to the beautiful and famous Keralan city of Cochin. It gave us a better flavour of driving on the Indian roads whilst getting to grips with the route book (my job which I have to say I did very well, we didn't get lost once!). We arrived at our Cochin hotel without incident (more about hotels on the tour later) but desperate to shower and drink beer. You are driving at temperatures upwards of 32 degrees with no AC, the windows down and the sun streaming in. The interior of our car was filthy - I don't think it had ever been washed in its long life and you are sucking in fumes from the traffic ahead the whole time. By the time I got out of the car each evening, I felt as if I'd been coal mining without a mask for eight hours! Yes, all part of the fun!
After a day off to explore Fort Cochin (snapping the famous Chinese fishing nets at sunset and doing some antique shopping in Jew town - I never miss an opportunity!), we had a pleasant 60 km meander from Cochin to Kumarakom in the Backwaters on the fourth day. Half way and desperate for a loo stop, we turned off into a boatyard where we did our pleasantries and then had lunch in an open air boat shaped restaurant. As we sat there, one other couple turned in, and then another and then two more until there were five Ambassadors sat in the car park. This amused me as we had all separately gone for the antiseptic option of loo and lunch rather than braving a local style road-side eatery. As it turned out, the food wasn't that great.
So now for a quick mention of the other people on our tour. A great mix of people, mostly Brits - some who owned an array of fancy classics, some with a little classic car driving experience, some with none whatsoever (including Mr Jules), some who are just there for the ride and a fascinating tour of southern India. There was a variety of ages, backgrounds, personalities and circumstances. There were also several groups of four - with a couple of families with grown up children and two couples who had come together. This is not a holiday for wallflowers, as every breakfast and dinner is eaten with the other participants and it's a good idea to be sociable. I found it was a great opportunity to meet a different set of people and I think we have even made some long term friends (if they answer my emails haha!).
in the Western Ghats and around 8,000 feet above sea level. This would be our longest day driving yet starting at 8am and ending around 5pm. A challenge for any driver, I was worried about us both keeping up our concentration (including me, I couldn't afford to get us lost!). But it was such a beautiful drive through the hills and through tea plantations - a landscape I had never seen before. Everything was lush and green and dotted with bright orange flame trees and there were colourfully dressed tea-pickers peeking out from in amongst the bushes. As we got higher, the temperature got less and less. After a few very sticky days in the Amby, this was most welcome. Eventually we arrived at a hilltop hotel in Munnar and immediately went to find a beer.
We didn't drive in convoy with the other participants - we were told to leave at a certain time, after the briefing and then aim to be at the other end by a certain time with your own choice of time and location for lunch stops. Inevitably you would start with a few people in tow, then the gaps would widen, then people would stop to take photos or for a refreshing road-side chai and other would stop for longer in shops and restaurants. Steve makes it clear that you shouldn't go 'off piste' as it will make it hard for his team to manage the group if anything goes awry. I should mention that there is a team of four or five mechanics that drive along with the group the whole time, and who tune the cars every morning before you are even out of bed and who are there to ensure your drive is as comfortable as possible and wash the cars after a dusty drive (ummm....internal car valeting not one of those jobs!). Despite the age of some of these cars very little went wrong - I think I know of only once case of a fan belt malfunction which was one kilometre from the hotel on the very last day!! All credit to the team for this. The day would end with each car joining back up, coming in five or ten minutes after each other. Every time we were greeted by the organisers, asked to report any issues with the car and then we would be welcomed by hotel staff bearing cold flannels, fragrant garlands and cool drinks. Lovely!
The following day was the least favourite day of driving for Mr Jules and I. Another 240 kms to be completed in around eight or nine hours but in the open heat of the plains between Munnar and Coonoor across the border into Tamil Nadu. The morning started beautifully with a descent down through the tea-plantations but across the plains all we could see were wind farms and coconut trees on a straight and boring road. It got very warm and uncomfortable but I had to remind myself that part of this experience is its assault course nature. The rough with the smooth. There wasn't even any bird spotting to be done and wildlife was thin on the ground. Eventually we got to the place where we would start the ascent to Coonoor. And the final 60 or so kilometres up a steep incline that was absolute driving hell. Bend after bend, we chugged up whilst getting trapped behind slow moving construction vehicles (hundreds of them, I thought they must be building a town at the top of this hill!) whilst AT THE SAME TIME, being overtaken by buses that had no regard for anything coming around the hairpin. There were hundreds of young lads in small hatchbacks racing up the hill trying to overtake the buses that were overtaking the trucks...it was like a game of space invaders and we were the aliens. Eventually we arrived at a nice heritage hotel where our room had fabulous deep marble bath!
Ooty (Ootacamund), the famous British Hill station was only 20 kms away from Coonoor and that is the drive that we did the next day, giving us a large chunk of the day off to explore the town. Now Ooty is one of the places I always wanted to visit in India, having seen a documentary on it. I knew this was where all the military wives fled to during the Raj era when it got too hot in town. I envisaged charming British architecture, cute bungalows with verandahs and museums showcasing items from the time of British Rule. I was kind of wrong...the whole town has been Indianised and the main hub is now a fairly unattractive city centre. The area around our hotel including St Stephen's Church and the old high street containing Mohan's store and Higginbottoms bookshop still had traces of the old charm but the rest was pretty disappointing. We did take a tuktuk to the Botanical Gardens which was like a mini Kew Gardens (I believe it was the same team that designed it) and I did manage to purchase myself a nice new pashmina in Mohans which cheered me up a bit. We also had lunch at Fern Hill - a marvellous building where the British would go to entertain themselves in its ballroom and manicured gardens in days of old.
By this point we are getting near the end of the tour. I am starting to feel nervous about it coming to a close as we are having such a great time and we are really starting to get to know the others. So it's down to us to make the most of the last few days and enjoy everything we see, hear and eat. But first we have to get down a mountain with 36 steeply inclined hairpins - whilst trying not to shut my eyes. This was definitely the most scary part of the drive for me. I don't have a great head for heights and I was not sure how our Ambassador would perform. Especially as Mr Jules had complained about the light brakes the day before and then we had been told at that morning's briefing to expect that the brakes would gradually diminish during the course of the descent! Apparently there was an art to this which involved not constantly feathering the breaks but coasting along on the engine instead. I am proud to say that Mr Jules managed this perfectly and after a nerve-wracking hour, we made it down to the bottom in one piece.
The rest of the journey to Mysore was a pleasant drive through wooded nature reserves and lush green post-monsoon paddy fields - a birdwatcher's delight for Mr Jules. To name but a few, we saw cattle egrets, great egrets, black-headed ibis, black ibis, purple herons, painted storks, an asian openbill and a pelican. Of course this meant that we had to keep stopping and starting to get the binoculars out but after all his hard work, I decided Mr Jules could have his twitching time. I even got quite into it myself, helping to take shots of newly identified birds which he could then use to look up in his special bird book later. BombayJules even spotted a black shouldered kite all on her own! Earlier that day driving through Mudumalai National Park, we also delighted in seeing elephants with their young ones, chittal deer, a mongoose, grey langur monkeys, Indian wild boar, jungle fowl and peacocks. Absolutely wonderful nature watching from the comfort of a rather dirty car seat.
178 kms on from Ooty found us at the gates of the hotel just oustide Mysore. A jaw-dropping entrance to an outstandingly beautiful palace building. I thought we'd taken a wrong turning. But no, this was Steve's final surprise to his clients. As we drew up to the portico, I felt like the new Duchess of Cambridge, but then had to remember that I was arriving in a black-with-dirt Amby and not a golden carriage. But still, it was the closest I had been to such grandeur so I was going to make the most of it!
You may be wondering why I have not mentioned the hotels we stayed in by name. This is because Steve does not tell you what the hotels are before you start the tour and you only find out the names once you get the route-book. So I will therefore also not reveal the names, just in case anyone reading this decides to participate on the tour next year. I wouldn't want to spoil the suprise. Suffice to say that the hotels are a mixture of beautiful waterside properties, modern corporate (only one), government owned and old colonial style. They are mostly 4 star, some with great service and food, some with not so great service and food. 90% of the hotels had character and are handpicked by the organisers to ensure decent parking for the 20 vehicles, and provide guests with a very decent standard of overnight stay. I very much liked all the hotels except for the one in Ooty where the service was very bad and the room reminded me of a Butlin's chalet. But again, it was all part of the charm of the tour. It was actually the two government run hotels that I enjoyed the most, including the palace hotel mentioned above.
We had another day off to explore Mysore the following day. For lunch we decided that we were totally curried out and shamefacedly took an auto-rick out of town to the nearest KFC. I am sorry to say that it was the best Zinger burger I have ever tasted. Apart from eating junk food, we also took a look around Mysore Palace, the most showy-off building I have ever seen - these Maharajas types spare absolutely no expense and make Buckingham Palace look like a London council block! We also took a trip via a silk shop or two (or course I bought something, you don't need to ask!) then went back to the hotel to enjoy the swimming and bar facilities.
This trip was not just about the driving. As well as not revealing which hotels you are going to stay at, Steve also does not tell you about all his little surprises. It was incredible what we were able to pack in, in between bouts of motoring. There was a sail in a house-boat on the Keralan backwaters, a visit to an elephant sanctuary, there was another beery boat trip in Cochin where we managed to get around it being a 'dry' day (no alcohol but you can drink if you are on the sea) complete with pink-sequinned dance troup, a night time tour to Mysore Palace to see the place being lit up like Harrods on steroids, a wonderful surprise steam train trip from Mettapalayam up to Munnar, a visit to a tea plantation and production line in Munnar, an excursion to a fascinating ancient temple after Ooty, a little magic show by a funny little man who also played a two stringed violin made out of coconut, not to mention our incredible first day send off complete with a nine man Keralan drum band and bejewelled elephant. Hopefully I will not have ruined the content of next year's tour but I imagine Steve is a man that is always coming up with something new to impress his guests. These things so made our holiday, the care and attention that Steve and his team gave us was really quite something.
Mysore Palace illuminated - even more understated!
The very last day was a long 220 km drive from Mysore to Calicut. This was a day that Mr Jules would be very excited about as it trailed through Wayanad Tiger Reserve. Would we see one? We had already seen plenty of elephants before on this tour. We had also seen bonnet macaques, and the afore-mentioned langurs, deer, a mongoose and multitudes of birds. But it was the tiger we were really interested in and something that got mentioned quite a lot by Steve and his team. Of course there being only around 1,200 tigers left in the Indian wild it was going to be very unlikely. Definitely unlikely, it was not to be, we didn't even see an elephant. We later heard that one our fellow rallyer's Amby was nearly stampeded by an elephant in Wayanad and this was witnessed by others. Ah well, there's always Bandhavgarth next year!
I shared my Cornetto with a macaque on the way to Mysore.
You should have seen the sugar rush he had after this!
So now the tour comes to a close. We end up back at the same hotel we started from near Calicut - but this time our room is a wonderful waterside bungalow with a large terrace. Gorgeous. We are all in one piece and our car is in almost the same condition as when we left save for a boot that will not close. We are sorry and relieved at the same time that this is the last few moments with our Amby. I didn't even have chance to give her a name.
Were we totally incident free whilst on the road? Of course every driver on this tour had a few close shaves - either when overtaking lorries when buses are coming full steam ahead at you, or when tuk-tuks pulled out across you without notice or people running across the road without looking. All 'normal' activity - these things happened to us but nothing came close to touching our car and Mr Jules was skillful in avoiding touching anyone else's vehicle (phew!). For all the criticism of Indian drivers, they have a particular knack for not actually ending up in a bloody accident. Having said that, we did see a couple of lorries and buses in ditches along the way and there has since been an article in the newspaper about a loaded bus hanging off a mountain in the Nilgiris and the passengers having to creep off the bus before it ended up plunging into a ravine! The only other thing worth mentioning was that we and a few other drivers did get involved in a sit down demonstration which lasted an our and meant we had to stop our car in a huge line of traffic. But that was fine because we just went and had lunch - ghobi manchurian with fried rice and two cokes for the princely sum of £2.50. And very nice it was too!
Oh dear. Bet it served him right though!
There are so many little experiences on this trip that money can't buy and are probably unique to India. The amazement on the faces of schoolchildren as 20 Ambies with white faces in them drive by, the requests for photos when you step out of your car, the bewilderment of restaurant staff who have never seen a six foot Englishman step into their establishment before, seeing monkeys sitting on the walls of hairpin bends watching the traffic go by, waving paddy field workers, tea plantation pickers stopping to let you take their photo, villagers washing their hair on the banks of the backwaters, the endless haggling in silk shops, the experimentation with new foods. All the beauty, history and openness of India and its people. Priceless!
Bath time at the elephant sanctuary - one blissed out nellie.
So, that final evening we share drinks by the pool with our fellow guests, eat dinner, do speeches, hand out prizes and say our goodbyes. We all come away with (a not too easy to pack) glass trophy and copy of our Amby's number plate. Again another lovely touch. I will surely miss some of the great friends we have made over the coming days.
We are told by Steve about the rallies coming up in the next 12 months including an exciting trip in Rajasthan (unfortunately not in Ambies but in vehicles capable of taking on the desert) and nearly booked up jeep tours in Vietnam and the Himalayas. Will we be tempted? Watch this space!

I think you should write a book! Sounds like a most amazingly wonderful experience. I absolutely loved reading about your trip and the photographs are fantastic!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog! Let's share some pics and keep in touch.
brilliant....am quite transported..... i have travelled quite a bit in India and took my mum to visit friends of her's in Ooty a few years ago and then we went up to Goa where my friend lives so have taken tea at Fern Hill and swam at the hotel in Mysore and travelled through the forests of elephants too.......would love to go on one of these road trips!!
Hey Young at Heart, thanks for reading! It was a wonderful trip I can recommend it - especially to any one menopausal or post menopausal haha! I will write a few more posts about some individual places when I get time. bye for now!
I signed up to follow this blog and will come back and read more. I love to think of visiting a tea plantation, the spice markets and seeing elephants. I am leaving to go to church but will be back.
What a great read! And wonderful photos. You have a great touch in bringing the trip alive.
We are in Shimla with the old folks, and really enjoying it, but we can't wait to do another of Steve's trips.
Lovely pictures! Seems like a wonderful trip! I am daydreaming about it.
I just stumbled into your blog. (found in in blogexpat.com). It's great! I love it.
Thank you....your's is lovely too....great pictures!
Hi Jules. We did Steve's Kerala trip in 2009, loved it and did it again in 2010. We'd happily do it again too, but there are many other competing priorities. This is a trip that follows the same route each time, but experiences along the way are different and so it's easily repeatable. I wonder if Will and Lynda were with the group on your journey. They've done it five or six times. Reading your description brought back so many memories.
We've done several other of Steve's trips - South Africa (no longer on this list), Vietnam (fantastic), Himalayas (awesome, but challenging for people like me without a great head for heights). We were booked for Rajathan this year but illness kept us at home - friends who went on it, after having been on the Kerala trip, said it was terrific and have booked to do the Peru trip in 2014.
Steve and his team are all fantastic, not least because the organisation of the trips is very good and the backup support is remarkable. We made many friends on each trip and, of course, many people travel with Steve on multiple trips, so joining a new trip can be something of a reunion.
Hello Lyn, thanks for visiting my blog! Wow you really are a keen rallyer!


According to TMZ Sports, an arrest has been made in the murder of former LSU basketball player Wayde Sims. He was killed early Friday morning.
Dyteon Simpson has been arrested early Saturday morning for the murder. He admitted to the authorities to shooting Sims.
He has been charged with second-degree murder. According to Louisiana law, Simpson faces his natural life in jail if he is convicted.
Sims, who was entering his junior season with the Tigers basketball team, was shot in the head. He was shot and killed near the Southern University's Football Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The authorities were able to make an arrest quickly, because Simpson — during the shooting or shortly thereafter — lost his glasses at the scene, according to TMZ Sports. After the glasses were recovered by the authorities, they were tested for DNA.
The DNA on the glasses matched the DNA of Simpson.
In addition, the authorities also had video of the incident because it happened outside of a Subway restaurant.
While Simpson is in jail, the investigation is still ongoing.

Q: Create page when a new site in multisite network is created? I found this code to automatically create a page when a new site is created in the network. But I cannot figure out how to set which page template to be used when the page is created.
I have a custom page template made which I want to use on the page that is automatically created.
I found this post explaining how to automatically create a page when a new site is made. But what about page template:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/28620/143279

A: After the page is created and you have its ID, and before you restore_current_blog() you do this:
update_post_meta( $page_id, '_wp_page_template', 'your-template-file.php' );


Update on the Wood Burning Pool Heater - How Well Does it Work?
I have had quite a few requests to provide some more detailed information on how well the wood burner works. I would like to share some temperatures with you using a AGPtek Dual Two Channel Digital Thermometer .
I have been very happy with how well this pool heater has worked for us this year. We have had such a cold summer here in Michigan this year and this heater has been one of the only reasons we have been able to enjoy the pool. Normally, the solar heater and solar cover can keep the pool comfortable but this year it has just not been adequate. I have run the wood burning heater only when needed, maybe once or twice per week at the most. We have been able to easily keep the pool temperature above 75 degrees so far this year.
The numbers and methods here are just for rough estimation of how well the heater works, this is not meant for the science books, but should hold true with a heater of similar size and efficiency.
I measured about 69 gallons per hour with a 33 degree average warm up to the water. This was with an average sized fire going as the temperature here will fluctuate as you add wood and let it burn through. I have seen it as high as 45 degrees and as low as 15 degrees, so it just depends on how much and what material you are burning.
Calculations I used: 15,000 gallon pool divided by 69 gallons per hour (filled one gallon in 52 seconds) gave me 217 hours to heat all of the water 33 degrees. Or if you reduce, it comes down to about 27 hours for 4 degree rise for the entire pool. You can also just divide 33/217 to get a coefficient that can be used to create a formula. Y = .15x where Y is the degrees you will heat 15000 gallons of water and x is the number or hours you run the heater. So if we plug in 24 hours for x we get y=3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hopefully that makes sense to be used as a ROUGH estimate for calculating how much you can heat a similar sized pool.
Aquarium air pumps are one of the most common types of water pumps for your fish tank. Pondmaster If there is some major issue beyond the wear & tear of diaphragm, replace the pump as it can be a very potential hazard.

Q: Adobe Flex: Unable to connect to XMPP server using XIFF library I am trying to connect to my local XMPP server using the XIFF library however I am unable to do so.
I installed eJabberd on my localhost and connected to it with an XMPP client (Pandion) and this is working fine... I am able to connect to the local jabber server.
Next, I tried connecting to the XMPP server using the following code:
LoginView.mxml

</s:View>

import org.igniterealtime.xiff.events.LoginEvent;

private var con:XMPPConnection;
private var room:Room;

private function login (username:String, password:String): void {
    con = new XMPPConnection ();
    con.username = username + "@mydomain";
    con.password = password;
    con.server = "localhost";
    con.port = 5222;
    con.connect (0);
}

However I am unable to connect to connect to the XMPP server using the ActionScript code above. Just wondering where I may be going wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

A: Looks like a cross-domain policy issue. Try:

*Locate your policy log file first

*Launch your SWF

*Check policy file contents
Another way of doing the same thing is opening browser networking log and checking if Flash is trying to load file like http://localhost/crossdomain.xml.
There are two general solutions to this problem:

*

*Serve correct crossdomain.xml from your server OR

*Serve SWF file from the same host as the XMPP data
For debugging purposes adding SWF file location do local-trusted sandbox should resolve all the issues.

Leeds United will be without experienced defender Pontus Jansson for up to three weeks after the Swede injured his knee in the recent loss to rivals Sheffield United.
After dropping out of the automatic promotion places in the Championship after the defeat, things have since gotten worse for the Elland Road outfit with the news that Jansson is expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time after damaging his knee.
The Swede, who has been a prominent figure for Marcelo Bielsa's side this season, picked up the injury midway through the encounter but decided to see out proceedings.
The hosts had used all of their substitutions by that point, with the centre back soldiering on to avoid the team having to go down to ten men, and Jansson will now play no part in Sweden's upcoming games.
An official statement on Leeds' website reads: "Pontus Jansson will not join up with the Swedish national team during the international break.
"The centre back suffered an injury to his knee in Saturday's game with Sheffield United which will see him sidelined for three weeks. Jansson will begin his rehab at Thorp Arch with the Leeds United medical team this week."
Fortunately for the club, Jansson will not miss too many games given that the latest set of international fixtures begin soon. He will be unavailable for clashes with Birmingham City and Millwall, but could return to face Preston North End on 9 April.
On top of those Championship matches, the 28-year-old - who has 20 caps for Sweden - will miss his nation's European Championship qualifiers against Romania and Norway.
