" j 3 Claims. 0.128485 ';This' invention relates to a tampon for detection of cancer. More particularly it relates to a tampon as a means for mass screening and detection of cancer of the pelvic region. 1
The frequency of advanced cancer of the pelvic region presents tothe medical profession a disturbing picture. One author states-that only a relatively'small percentage of the cases of cancer of the cervix is detected in the early stage of the disease. This is in spite of the various methods to detect cancer of the cervix which have been developed and are being used by gynecologists today. Among the practical barriers to prompt diagnosis is the inability and the reluctance of many women to present themselves periodically to a physician for a gynecological examination whereby early evidence of cancer may be detected; this inability, and reluctance is a direct cause ofthe high percentage of advanced cancer which occurs or develops in the pelvic region and particularly-in the region of the cervix uteri. Furthermore the protracted gynecological examination of the patient which is necessary to obtain full diagnostic information, is time consuming for the physician and nurse and accordingly any such routine periodical examination may be prohibitively expensive for the patient, and the medical organization undertaking it.
Complete diagnosis to determine whether and to what extent one has cancer must require a thorough gynecological and pelvic examination and biopsy. Preliminary diagnosis to determine if there are present any indicia of cancer however, may be asserted by taking a sample of cells which are present in the cervical canal and the vagina and the subsequent microscopic analysis of these cells. While a thorough gynecological examination and biopsy should be performed in those cases in which the preliminary diagnosis indicates cancer, the preliminary diagnosis can serve to screen many women and thus initiate the early treatment of those who have indications a means for mass screening for cytological detection of carcinomas of the pelvic region.
A further object of this invention is to provide through the cooperation of the patient herself, an accurate, inexpensive means by which cells present in the pelvic region can be collected and thus screen large numbers of women thereby reducing the percentage of cases having advanced pelvic cancer.
Another object of this invention is to provide a means for sampling vaginal cells, which can be inserted by the patient herself, and will provide satisfactory smears for laboratory evaluation without the necessity for elaborate clinical facilities.
In accordance with the present invention a cancer detection tampon is inserted into the vaginal cavity in a manner like that for the well known catamenial tampon and remains therein for a time specified by the physician. The tampon is then removed by the patient and given to a nurse who makes a smear on a slide a0- z cording to the method described in articles appearing in vol. 7, No. 6 of Cancer at pages 1182 et. seq. and 1185 et. seq. and appearing in vol. 159, No. 12 of The Journal of the AmericanMedical Association at page 1177 et.
'A better understanding of the invention may be obtained by reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1' is a perspective view of one type of jacket according'to the invention which is placed over a supporting body;
Figure 2 is a perspectiveview of a vaginal supporting body-suitable for use with the jacket of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the jacketed tampon read for use; I
Figure 4 is a perspective view of another type of jacket suitable, according to the invention, to be assembled over a cotton pad and the assembly compressed to form the detection tampon;
Figure Sis a perspective view of an uncompressed cotton pad for use with the jacket of Figure 4;
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the assembled detection tampon showing the jacket turned inside out so that the seam is on the inside and showing the jacket fitted over one end of the uncompressed cotton pad and the two sewn together with the string; and
Figure 7 is a perspective view of the assembled detection tampon of Figure 6 after it has been compressed into a cylindrical form;
Referring tofFigures 1 and 2 there is shown supporting body 10 similar insize and shape to the type generally used for catamenial tampons. Body 10 is made ofa size andof a materialwhich is sufiiciently flexible to be comfortable carried in the vaginal cavity, in a preferred example this may be about /2" x 2%. In the embodiment illustrated a cotton fiber body is employed as the supporting means and is covered by jacket 12.
Jacket 12 is formed from a piece of material sewed into a generally round tube with a closed but enlarged cap 13. Jacket 12 is made so that it covers one end and extends approximately one-half the length of body 10. The fins of material 16 along the seams 18 are on the inside of the jacket leaving the outside smooth. In the present embodiment jacket 12 is made out of a closely woven, sheer cloth which is manufactured from a nonabsorbent, relatively fine, continuous filament yarn such as nylon.
Figure 3 shows body 10 and jacket 12 assembled into a detection tampon 14 which embodies features of the invention. T ampon 14 is shaped into a generally round form. One endof body 10 is covered by closed end 13 of jacket 12 and the other end is attached to a removal string 22. Removal strip 22 is sewed into the tampon 14 by the same stitching that securely aflixes jacket 12 to body 10 forming tampon 14.
Another embodiment of the invention is shown in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7. The jacket 12a of Figure 4 is slipped over cotton pad 10a shown in Figure 5. The jacket 12a is similar to jacket 12 shown in Figure 1. Jacket 12a is a closely woven sheer cloth manufactured from relatively non-absorbent, continuous filament such as nylon. The cloth when folded back upon itself, as shown in Figure 4, is stitched along one edge extending from the fold and the edge opposite to the fold; but a very satisfactory jacket can be made from a longer and narrower piece of cloth folded back upon itself and stitched along opposite edges adjacent to the fold. Or a tubular fabric of the required width can be sewn across one end. Thus it will be seen that the essential feature is that the jacket is closed on the sides and one end, and open at its other end and of a size adapted to contain cotton pad 10a as shown in Figure 5.
After the jacket 12a has been sewn as shown in Figure 4, it is turned inside leaving a smooth exterior surface.
Figure 6 shows an uncompressed cotton pad a and jacket 12a assembled and stitched as at 47 down the center and to withdrawal cord 22a forming uncompressed tampon 14a.
Figure 7 shows the assembled tampon 14b comprising jacket 12a and cotton pad 10a after the tampon has been compressed into a cylindrical shape. Surplus material at the top of the jacket forms a chefs cap 13a.
The jacket 12 and 12a holds whatever cells are collected from the body cavity on the surface of the jacket. Because the cloth of the jacket is non-absorbent these cells are not dehydrated and thus remain in a relatively moist condition which enables a more accurate clinical evaluation. It has also been found most satisfactory for collection of vaginal smears that the exterior surface and 20a of the jacket 12 and 12a be relatively smooth. The fin of material resulting from the seam should therefore be made on the inside.
The enlarged cap 13 and 13a which extends farthest into the vaginal canal collects and retains in moist form many cells. While the specific reasons for the improved sampling through use of the enlarged cap 13 and 13a remain obscure at this time tests have proven that a large percentage of cells are collected on the cap 13 and 13a and by using a tampon with such a cap the sampling of cells from the vagina is greatly improved.
The pliability of tampons 14, 14a and 14b permits the easy removal of the collected cells by evenly smearing onto a microscope slide, with or without squeezing with finger pressure against its sides and advantageously rotating the tampon in contact with the slide.
In the embodiments I have described the tampon is comprised of a jacket of non-absorbent, relatively fine,,
continuous filament yarn such as nylon and a supporting body of cotton fiber. Laboratory tests have conclusively indicated that the use of the non-absorbent supporting body is also practical for the collection of cells. Thus, for the collection of cells a plastic, rubber or other nonabsorbent supporting body with the nylon like he used.
I claim:
1. A vaginal type tampon comprised of a supporting body, flexible but stiff enough to project its end into the vaginal cavity and against the cervix, and a jacket secured to said body and covering one end of said supporting body and the adjacent portion of the body, but extending beyond it in a loose cap, said jacket being a fine-mesh fabric made of non-absorbent relatively fine filament.
2. A vaginal tampon comprising a jacket of relatively non-absorbent filament .nylon, a body formed into a cylindrical shape, said jacket extending over said body and beyond it forming a loose cap.
3. A vaginal tampon comprising a jacket of relatively non-absorbent filament nylon and supporting means to carry said jacket, said supporting means being of a size, shape, and flexibility such that the tampon may be inserted in the vaginal cavity, and said jacket-extending over said supporting means and beyond one end to form at said end a relatively large, loose cap.

2 inmates, including one arrested in O.C., escape transport van in Florida
An inmate who was arrested in Orange County escaped custody in Florida early Monday while in a van going from one jail to another, authorities said.
James Thomas Banks, 28, was being transported from Orange County where he faced a misdemeanor drug-paraphernalia charge to face other charges.
Banks, along with Michael Andrew Rotunno, 30, went missing somewhere between Walton and Leon counties, said Corey Dobridnia, a spokeswoman for the Walton County Sheriff's Office. The counties are 140 miles apart.
At about 12:20 a.m. Monday, the van stopped at the Walton County Jail in the Florida panhandle to drop off an inmate, Dobridnia said. The van, run by a private company, continued on, stopping for gas at one point.
"Holmes County, which is our neighboring county, had reported a car stolen from the area," Dobridnia said.
Officials found two sets of footprints near where the car had been.
Some inmates in the van later said the two had jumped out when it was moving slowly but didn't know exactly where, the Holmes County Sheriff's Office said.
In Orange County, records show, Banks was arrested on Jan. 13 and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of false personation, falsely representing himself to an officer and possession of controlled-substance paraphernalia.
Dobridnia said Banks faces charges elsewhere of unarmed robbery and escaping from jail.
Eventually, the pair of inmates were to be dropped off at a facility in Jackson, Minnesota. It was unclear why they had traveled to Florida first, or where Banks lives.

Dhruva collections in Andhra Pradesh And Telangana
Dhruva collections in Andhra Pradesh And Telangana
The remake of Tamil movie Chennai Oruvan, Dhruva starring Ram Charan Tej as the protagonist, Arvind Swamy as an antagonist, Rakul Preet Singh and Navdeep has been received really well at the box office by the Telugu audience though it was a really different script.
Every trade analyst was curious about how Dhruva would do at the box office as Ram Charan Tej's fans are majorly the mass who expect the movie to have all the commercial aspects of item songs, impractical action sequences and situation less comedy. However, the success of this film has proven that the tastes of the audience and even the masses have changed and Dhruva fared really well both in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The collected an amount of 15.15 crores, which is highest when compared to the other regions and this is definitely due to huge collections from the multiplexes in Hyderabad. Though the movie collected 6.61 crores in Nizam and 1.32 crores in Nellore, no doubt the distributors have suffered huge losses because they have bought the rights for a much higher price. And the film was released on their own by Geetha Arts in the east and west Godavari, where the performance was average too. The
Guntur and Krishna's distributors have lost approximately 20% of the amount invested and it cannot be any further recovered as the amount is huge and new movies are being released for the Sankranthi season and it would be difficult to hold theatres during this period for a 5 weeks old movie.
No doubt that the movie has been hardly hit because of the demonetization and severely affected the collections in rural areas where the digital payments and online bookings haven't yet been reached.
Dhruva Collections area wise:
Nizam- 15.15 Cr
Ceded-6.61 Cr
UA-5.20 Cr
Guntur-3.38 Cr
East-3.07 Cr
West-2.60 Cr
Krishna-2.88 Cr
Nellore-1.32 Cr
The movie is expected to collect totally 41 crores by the end of the week.

text: 000 FXUS63 KMPX 291732 AFDMPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 1232 PM CDT Wed Mar 29 2017 .UPDATE...For 18Z Aviation Discussion below && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 338 AM CDT Wed Mar 29 2017 The main short term concern is rain development today...its timing and extent as the upper low lifts east. Temperatures today are conditional and will be determined on how thick the higher level clouds will be into the afternoon. Water vapor imagery showing upper circulation remains over the southwest/New Mexico/Texas panhandle region. Broad south to southwest flows remains with embedded convection ahead of the system. Models lifts this moisture northeast during the day...to the MN/IA border by afternoon and into the south metro by evening. We increased likely PoPs coverage a bit farther north into the south metro into the evening. Latest guidance had broad southeast flow developing into the evening with 290K isentropic surface indicating saturation developing. We expect any precipitation to be light on this northwest fringe of the main rain shield which will move across the southeast portion of the cwa. Cloud cover is expansive with convective debris for the central plains convection transported north into the area. This combined with the northern stream trough should be enough to help thicken clouds and generate the rain across mainly the eastern half of the cwa. High temperatures today will be determined by the opaqueness of the clouds cover...with a 60 again possible out west if the cloud cover remains thin enough. Colder temperatures will move into the area as the upper circulation drifts east. This will drop thickness levels close to critical values after 06z Thu...mainly to the far east. There could be a rain/snow mix into a portion of west central Wisconsin then...but little if any accumulation is expected. QPF amounts could range around 0.25 to 0.50 inches mainly across far south central Minnesota during the event. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 338 AM CDT Wed Mar 29 2017 The longer term period looks to be dominated by split flow across the CONUS with a series of upper lows cutting off over the southwest US, then meandering eastward with our area mainly north of the best moisture and forcing. We`ll have some lingering light precipitation across the southeast portion of the area early on Thursday as the surface low moves through the Mid-Mississippi Valley. A ridge of high pressure then looks to build in from the north and keep things dry through Sunday. We look to get into some weak return flow by Monday, but solutions have been trending drier across our area with more robust large scale and convective precipitation expected to the south with another surface low moving from the plains through the Mississippi Valley. The ECMWF has come more in line with a slightly more southern solution as shown by the GFS and Canadian. Maintained some low PoPs from Monday into Tuesday, as we could see a bit get wrung out as a weak northern stream wave moves through the area. However, the bulk of any significant precipitation looks to stay well to our south during that time frame. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1233 PM CDT Wed Mar 29 2017 The area of rain over southern MN will continue inching north- northeast throughout the afternoon and evening hours. Ceilings and visibilities are expected to lower to MVFR as this occurs. KAXN and KSTC should stay dry, but may also experience scattered MVFR level clouds tonight. Given the light nature of the rain, visibilities are not expected to go lower than 4SM. Some snow is expected to mix in at KEAU overnight, but the precip should stay liquid at other sites. Winds will be from the east/southeast at 7-11 knots, with gusts developing on Thursday. KMSP... Light rain is expected to arrive between 23z and 00z, with MVFR ceilings possible after that through the overnight hours. The current TAF may be a bit optimistic with the CIGS, and will need to watch trends to see if an OVC MVFR deck looks to be prevalent (for now have just included a TEMPO). The main window for light rain looks to be between 00z and 08z, although drizzle cloud linger through the morning push. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Fri...VFR. Wind NE 5-10 kts. Sat...VFR.

Johnny Depp to Star in "Alice in Wonderland"
Posted: September 25th, 2008 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
It comes as no surprise that Johnny Depp has been cast in another Tim Burton film. During the Disney showcase in Los Angeles, the studio has announced that
will play the Mad Hatter in the upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" movie, which will be shot in 3-D.
It has been previously revealed that that the film will be live-action until Alice (Mia Wasikowska) jumps down the rabbit hole and meets the loopy tea party host. Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King) penned the script.
In my opinion, the Mad Hatter is a bit similar to The Riddler in the Batman comic books. Depp has expressed interest in playing the character in "The Dark Knight" sequel and a Warner Bros executive has stated that the studio is looking at casting Depp. It will be interesting to see if Warners will see the same similarities and whether this will hurt Depp's chances of playing the villain.

Whoever wrote this article is wrong. The Mad Hatter is similar to.....The Mad Hatter in the Batman comics. The Riddler is a totally different animal. I think Depp could pull it off, but I hope to God that they aren't going to base his character off Alice's Hatter. We don't need another Carrey Riddler.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia and Indonesia said on Sunday that full military ties between the two countries had been restored, after Indonesia's military suspended cooperation in January because of "insulting" teaching material found at an Australian base.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull made the announcement alongside Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who arrived in Australia on Saturday for his first visit as president.
"President Widodo and I have agreed to full restoration of defence cooperation, training exchanges and activities," Turnbull said at a news conference in Sydney.
Widodo's visit to Australia comes less than two months after military ties were suspended, an event that sparked a minor diplomatic spat and led to an apology from Australia's army chief in February. Military cooperation between the two countries has ranged from joint training and counterterrorism cooperation to border protection.
The "insulting" material suggested that Indonesia's Papua province should be independent and mocked the nation's state ideology.
Indonesia and Australia have a history of patchy ties, but both leaders were keen on Sunday to emphasise their commitment to a strong relationship.
"That robust relationship can be established when both countries have respect for each other's territorial integrity, non-interference into the domestic affairs of each other and the ability to develop a mutually beneficial partnership," Widodo said.
While the primary focus of the visit was on security and economic issues, including the finalisation of a bilateral free trade deal by the end of the year, talks touched on tourism, cyber security and social links.
Widodo met Australian business leaders on Saturday, telling them that investor confidence in Indonesia was strong and reassuring them that Indonesia was a stable country in which to do business.
Following one-on-one talks, Turnbull said tariffs would be cut for Australian sugar and Indonesian pesticides and herbicides. He also praised changes to the export rules for live Australian cattle.
Two-way trade between Australia and Indonesia was worth $15.3 billion in 2015-16, according to Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Widodo said he was confident that a free trade deal would be finalised this year.
"I have conveyed to Prime Minister Turnbull some of the key issues," he said. "First, is the removal of barriers to trade, tariffs and non-tariffs for Indonesian products such as Indonesia's paper and palm oil."
Widodo told The Australian newspaper this week he would like to see joint patrols with Australia in the South China Sea if they did not further inflame tensions with China.
China - which claims almost the entire sea region - irked Indonesia last year by saying the two countries had "overlapping claims" to waters close to them, an area Indonesia calls the Natuna Sea.
The leaders stopped short of announcing joint patrols on Sunday, but stressed the importance of resolving disputes peacefully and in accordance to international law.
"As maritime nations and trading nations, Australia and Indonesia are natural partners with common interests," Turnbull said.
Collaboration on counterterrorism, especially the return of foreign fighters from the Syrian and Iraq conflict zone, would continue, Turnbull said.

Over the past decade, Quick Service Restaurants ("QSR's") have grown at a faster pace than any other type of restaurant. Consumers are seeking out healthier, more balanced options while still looking to enjoy the convenience offered by traditional fast food. With the ever-growing array of choices, finding meaningful ways of building recognition and loyalty among consumers is on the minds of many companies.
KRS has partnered with many well-known (and up and coming) brands to design, refine, and realize restaurant environments that feel fresh and inviting, even when they are found across tens, hundreds, or even thousands of locations.

Those crunchy chequered wafers that add a gourmet touch to any dessert are said to have been invented around 9th and 10th century. Waffles during those days typically were embossed with images of Jesus and his cruxification and were part of communion. Though Belgium is generally believed to be the land of waffles, this sweet delicacy is popular throughout the world.
In the 11th and 12th century, waffles were flavoured with orange blossom water and honey. The first waffle recipe was found in a 14th century manuscript. Till 17th and 18th century non-wheat waffles were usually common and those made with wheat and sweetened with sugar were so expensive that only the monarchy and bourgeoisie could afford them. The evolution of waffles continued in 20th century when they turned savory.
Waffle types
– Brussels waffles are crisp, light and have large pockets. In Belgium they are a popular street food and are served warm.
– Flemish waffles , a specialty of Northern France, these are salty, made with fresh butter, moist and is usually served with orange blossom water and sugar.
– American waffles are denser and thinner and are usually served in the breakfast and are topped typically with maple syrup.
– Pandan waffles have their origin in Vietnam and have a dominant taste of coconut milk.
– Potato waffles, as the name suggests are made with potatoes and are popular in UK and Ireland.
– Scandinavian waffles are heart shaped and are served with whipped and sour cream.
Here are some popular waffle recipes by celebrity chefs:
Classical waffle
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Preheat waffle iron.
– Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy.
– Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth.
– Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with butter.
– Pour mix onto hot waffle iron.
– Cook until golden brown.
– Serve hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce and melted butter.

Results and Analysis by Will Turner
Summary The Tucson Bird Count currently consists of two programs. The Route Program surveys hundreds of preselected sites across the Tucson basin each spring, while the Park Monitoring Program provides year-round data focused on particular parks, washes, neighborhoods, or other areas of interest.
Route Program Results & Analysis, 2001-2002 By all measures the TBC Route Program's first two years have been a success. More than 80 birders participated each spring. In 2001, observers surveyed 674 sites. In 2002, the count grew to 724 sites. In these two years observers reported about 44,000 individual birds representing 138 species (see current Species Summary Table). The first scientific paper based on the Tucson Bird Count will be published in the journal Landscape and Urban Planning in 2003, and more are in the works. Below are some key findings presented in this first paper (a preprint of the full paper can be viewed online).
2001 Species Distribution Maps
2001 Land Use Analysis A few native species, such as Mourning Dove, were found equally often in all land use classes (low SI of 0.08). Other species, such as Curve-billed Thrasher (SI=0.24), and Gambel's Quail (SI=0.51), were most common in the less-developed classes (OS and RL), but were also found at higher development intensities (albeit less frequently). In contrast, many native desert species were most common in OS or RL, and rare or nonexistent at higher development intensities. These sensitive species show higher SI values.
These findings have several implications. First, they show the importance of natural habitats (OS in the above analysis) in sustaining populations of many native bird species. Second, the finding that some native species appear to persist in some developed areas offers some hope that we may be able to successfully sustain birds near the places we spend our lives. A small number of native species may be able to persist in developed areas as they are currently structured. As for the others, sustaining them will
Can birds and people coexist? TBC results suggest that we can change this unfortunate situation. We know that a few places, even in the heart of Tucson, appear to help sustain diverse native bird communities. Ongoing work is investigating TBC data in conjunction with high-resolution land cover maps to determine what it is, exactly, about places with high bird diversity that makes them special. Because "put a natural park the size of Saguaro East in the middle of Tucson" is generally not an option, we need the details. For example, what is the minimum area of upland Sonoran vegetation required for Black-tailed Gnatcatchers to show up? Is clustered or dispersed development better for sustaining bird species? What species are most vulnerable to development, how can we make future development easier on them, and what important areas should we avoid developing entirely? The Tucson Bird Count's Route Program will help answer these and other important questions.

Watch: 57 Pounds Didn't Stop Beyonce's Return To Center Stage
After welcoming her first child with hip-hop mogul hubby Jay-Z in January 2012, Queen B put her post-baby body on display as she performed a three-night stint in May in Atlantic City.
"I did a show three months after I gave birth, which was really crazy," Beyoncé tells Oprah Winfrey in their much-anticipated sitdown, which will air Saturday on OWN. "I had clearly never given birth and I didn't know I would gain…57 pounds."
But the pregnancy weight couldn't keep the multi-platinum Grammy-winning superstar from her passion. "I really wanted to know, ya know? I feel so fortunate to do my job," she gushed. "I love my job. I love singing. I love the way it feels."
In the Oprah's Next Chapter episode, Beyoncé, 31, also dishes on daughter Blue Ivy, her heartbreaking miscarriage, the making of her HBO documentary Life Is But a Dream — which has received mixed reviews from critics — professionally parting ways with her father Matthew Knowles, and her four-year marriage to Jay-Z.
"I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man," Bey tells Winfrey, adding that Hova has helped her "on so many levels" during their relationship. "It just gives me such a foundation."
"We were friends first, for a year and a half before we went on any date — on the phone for a year and a half," she recalls. "And that foundation is so important in a relationship. Just to have someone that you just like is so important and someone that is honest."
To catch the full Beyoncé's interview, tune in to Oprah's Next Chapter this Saturday, Feb. 16, at 8 PM on OWN.

With cycling becoming a major part of British sport post 2012, we wanted serious riders to re-appraise the Halfords brand. For many, Halfords was the place they got their first bike. Now they're more serious about bikes, we wanted to show them Halfords are too. They can now get the brands they love from a name they can trust - but didn't expect.
We thought it might come as a shock. Halfords.com now has 15,000 parts, accessories and clothing lines from 185 leading specialist brands. Plus, there's next working day delivery direct to you, as well as free collection from over 440 Halford stores. No name does more to get you out there.

Before starting the trip report, I would like to thank all of the people who had helped me several months ago with questions I had during the planning process. The suggestions were very helpful and definitely made the trip more enjoyable and less stressful!
If you are interested in seeing geotagged photos from our trip then please go to: http://picasaweb.google.com/grumby24/TanzaniaHoneymoon
You can see a map at the bottom of each individual photo's page or select "View Map" on the main page to see all photos on a map.
This trip was for our honeymoon and we both couldn't be happier with how it turned out (except for the commute time back and forth, but what can you do about that). To start, I contacted about 11 safari companies which operate in Tanzania. I narrowed it down to 4 contenders after a few didn't reply and the others were too expensive or did not fit our itinerary as we had planned and sent to them. In the end we settled on Access2Tanzania, which is a smallish company which specializes in Tanzania and, as far as I can tell, offers primarily private tours. I would definitely recommend checking our Access2Tanzania. They are a smaller company, but give excellent service. I had a ton of questions when planning and Karen was so helpful and friendly. They are also affiliated with a charity which helps children with education.
This was definitely key for us in enjoying our safari. We had our own driver for the entire Tanzania portion of our trip and always had the final say over what we wanted to do. We saw several safari vehicles packed with visitors, even for the much more expensive companies. I couldn't imagine sharing our vehicle with other people (especially when photographing the wildlife).
Our guide Ray was great! He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and cultural questions we had for him. He was very ethical and would not break park rules (like driving offroad) like other guides we saw.
Our itinerary for the trip was as follows:
Days 1-2: Fly Chicago to Arusha (Kibo Palace Hotel)
Days 2-4: Tarangire (Boundary Hill Lodge)
Day 5: Lake Manyara/Maasai boma visit (Ngorogoro Sopa)
Day 6: Olmoti Crater hike/Ngorogoro Crater drive (Ngorogoro Sopa)
Days 7-8: Central Serengeti (Serengeti Serena)
Days 9-10: Western Serengeti (Kirawira Tented Camp)
Days 11-13: Stone Town, Zanzibar (Zanzibar Palace Hotel)
Day 14: Fly Zanzibar to Atlanta
Days 1-2: Fly Chicago to Arusha
Kibo Palace Hotel
We started off from Chicago where we had our wedding to Arusha, stopping in Amsterdam for 3 hours. The Amsterdam airport had plenty to do with lots of shopping and eating establishments. They even have a casino! When we landed in Arusha we were picked up by our guide Ray who took our bags and led us to the vehicle. The vehicle wasn't the newest, but it was in very good condition. Ray confirmed our itinerary for the whole trip as we drove to Arusha. We stayed at the Kibo Palace Hotel and were put in a very nice, roomy suite. The hotel was very nice and I would recommend it to others.
Days 2-4: Tarangire
Boundary Hill Lodge
We drove to Tarangire the next day and did a game drive in Tarangire National Park. There were a ton of elephants there as well as zebra and impala and others. The park was not too crowded and the roads in decent condition. Later in the afternoon we left the park towards the east entrance to go to the Tarangire Conservation Area where the Boundary Hill Lodge is located. The drive was a little far, especially near the end of the day when you are tired.
The Tarangire Conservation Area is very similar to the park, but at this point in the year had noticeably less wildlife than the park. We drove up the hill to the Boundary Hill Lodge and were met at the entrance by a man names Moses and a Maasai worker (Loeshe?). The workers at Boundary Hill are so nice and the service was excellent. The meals at the dining area were very delicious.
We did a game drive the second day and found some lions. We were able to watch them for a while as they were mating and sleeping near the same spot. Luckily, there weren't too many vehicles around to disturn the animals.
On the 3rd day we asked to change things a bit and were taken on a hike of the area around the lodge by Moses and Loeshe. We really enjoyed this as we learned a lot about the local wildlife and vegetation. Later on that night we drove to a hill in the conservation area aout 45 minutes from the lodge to watch the sunset. It was a beautiful experience! We really miss Moses, Loeshe and the girls in the dining area at Boundary Hill Lodge.
Day 5: Lake Manyara/Maasai boma visit
Ngorogoro Sopa
The next day we drove towards Ngorogoro Crater with a half day game drive in Lake Manyara and Maasai boma visit on the way. Lake Manyara National Park was located in a beautiful area with much more vegetation than Tarangire. Since the park is the smallest of the ones we visited there was a lot more
congestion with vehicles.
The park was nice but, aside from the setting, didn't seem to be too different from Tarangire in terms of wildlife. As we left we continued on for the crater for our visit to a Maasai boma before checking into the Ngorogoro Sopa.
The Maasai boma that we visited is right next to the entrance road into the crater which is right by the Ngorogoro Sopa. The visit consisted of the men and women singing in different groups, then the men dancing. We got a tour of a hit by a man who spoke very good English, but after that we were encouraged to buy crafts. That wasn't the most pleasant experience and they were not the nicest when it came to bargaining so we ended up buying less than we planned.
We then drove to the Ngorogoro Sopa which was only about a mile or so away and checked in. There is major renovations going on in many rooms and the room we were given did not have any heat. It was very cold at night at the high altitude where the lodge is located and we were very cold on our room. At least they put hot water bottles in our bed each night. The sheets and carpet seemed old and not the cleanest. I'm not sure I would recommend this place until the renovations have been completed (hopefully that includes their bedding). The food was decent and the service at the restaurant was good, but was a bit slow (not too much of a concern).
Day 6: Olmoti Crater hike/Ngorogoro Crater drive
Ngorogoro Sopa
We planned to take a hike up and into the Olmoti Crater this morning. Olmoti Crater is right next to Ngorogoro Crater but much smaller in size. We started by driving to a ranger camp and then walking with a ranger to the rim of the crater. That was where we stopped as my wife was not having fun as it had been a more difficult walk then expected. There was no path at the beginning and we first walked through tall grass which was in clumps. If you didn't walk around the clumps you would trip most of the time as the grass was very firm. Once you started going uphill there was a path but it was wet and muddy so it was a little dangerous as it started to get a little windy (in addition to being cold). Once we got to the top we decided to go down. Perhaps it would have been different if it weren't so cold and windy.
We did a game drive in Ngorogoro Crater after that and loved it. There were so many animals in such a concentrated area. We did see a cheetah (just sleeping) and a rhino but it was very far away. Some of the roads near the area where rhinos stay have been closed so it is hard to get close, let alone see clearly, the rhinos. There were tons of wildebeest here as well and it was fun watching the males keep their groups of females together while chasing off other males.
Days 7-8: Central Serengeti
Serengeti Serena
We drove to the Serengeti today. It was fascinating to watch the environment change so quickly as we descended out of the crater. It got very dry very quickly (and dusty!). It took a little while to go through the registration process, but we used this time to eat our boxed lunch.
We went on a game drive and saw some lions and tons of Thomson Gazelles. After a while we went to check in to the Serengeti Serena. The Serena was a nice place set up on a hill. We had a great view outside the balcony in our room. The room itself was decent and was much cleaner than the Ngorogoro Sopa. The food was decent for dinner, but the service was just average. There was a show in the evening featuring traditional dances which was entertaining.
Breakfast at the Serena was just average on both days. There was a lot of fresh fruit, but it was always covered by bees (dozens, not one or two) so we did not have an opportunity to try it.
The game viewing around the Serena was pretty good, but we didn't see much of the wildebeest migration in this area. There were also a lot of vehicles driving around, so any time there was something interesting at least 5 vehicles showed up. This wasn't a problem most of the time except once when we waited an hour and a half for zebras to cross the road to a watering hole where lions were hiding and waiting. All of the vehicles around (at least 10-15 of them) left a gap so the zebra could go to the water. For some reason one vehicle drove right up to the gap, near the zebra and scared them off.
We had a picnic at an area which had a nice welcome center and nature trail with great educational displays. We had to stay here longer than planned since our vehicle started getting a flat tire, but we spent this time watching a fascinating documentary about the wildebeest migration in the welcome center.
Days 9-10: Western Serengeti
Kirawira Tented Camp
We drove west from the Serena towards the the Kirawira Tented Camp. The drive was a little far, but we spent most of the time looking out for wildlife. Although we did see things, it didn't seem to be as much as near the Serena. This was probably because we were on the main road most of the time. We eventually started seeing lots of wildebeests and eventually it was obvious we were driving through the migration. We couldn't believe how many wildebeest we would see over the next 2 days! In this area though there were almost no elephants though.
We eventually checked into the Kirawira Tented Camp. This was a really great place! The tents are very nice and have all the amenities you need. They are raised up on stilts so there is no need to be concerned about animals coming into the tents. In fact, the first night we were there we heard lions in the camp. There were also wildebeest nearby with their familiar grunts.
The food at the Kirawira was very good. The portions were smaller than elsewhere but that was fine as all of the meals we had up to that point were a bit large. The service was also excellent and eating there was like eating at a fine restaurant (with the fine china to match!).
Now comes the bad part about this portion of the trip. There were a TON of tsetse flies in this area of the park. It was not a problem when we were in the camp, but out on game drives it almost became unbearable. At first I thought my wife was overreacting, but after a while we had over a dozen flies in the vehicle trying to bite all 3 of us constantly. We had to pull the roof down a few times and kill the ones already in the vehicle as they were still trying to bite us. Even when we drove away as fast as 25mph (40kph) we had a small swarm of flies following the vehicle right behind us. We all got bite a number of times. Sometimes the bites were minor but sometimes they were extremel painful. This definitely affected the mood for the last day and a half in certain areas. While driving around with all of the windows up and the roof down we could see hundreds of animals twitching and moving around to get flies off of them as well. We felt really sorry for them.
The second day we went down to the Grumeti River and watched hippos and crocodiles. Aside from that, there were mostly zebras and wildebeest in this area (in huge numbers).
Days 11-13: Stone Town, Zanzibar
Zanzibar Palace Hotel
The next morning we packed and took a leisurely drive to the Grumeti airstrip. We waited a little while for our flight to come (Air Excel) and got on and headed for Arusha and then finally on to Zanzibar. We had been worried all trip about the weight of my bags because I had a lot of photo equipment but our bags were never weighed. If I had known about this earlier I would have been more likely to buy more souvenirs.
The flight to Arusha was very scenic. Once we got to Arusha we were lead to a check in desk where we got our boarding passes and then were asked to wait in a waiting area for about 45 minutes before our flight to Zanzibar. When it was time for our flight to Zanzibar someone found us and escorted us to the plane.
The flight to Zanzibar was also uneventful and scenic as well. When we landed there was a short wait to get our bags. After we got our bags we were met by a representative from Zanzibar Unique, the Zanzibar agent for Access2Tanzania. We were given a welcome package and a ride to our hotel, the Zanzibar Palace Hotel in Stone Town. The hotel is in a beautifully renovated building with around 8 rooms. Our room was very nice but was on the top floor and the only way to get there was by stairs so it was a little strenuous going up at the end of the day. The staff was very helpful and informative and helped us with all of our questions.
We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the tourist areas looking for souvenirs. Most of the stores had the same merchandise so I got bored after a little while. My wife was really enjoying the shopping. One other thing I didn't like as much was all of the "papasi" street vendors. Some of them didn't like to take "no" for an answer which was annoying.
The second day we took 2 tours. The first was a Stone Town walking tour and the second was a Spice tour. We had the same guide for both tours, Hamis, who was a great guy and seemed to know everyone on the island. The Stone Town tour was very interesting but started getting expensive since I tipped each guide who led us around every time we went to an attraction (House of Wonders, Palace Museum and Anglican Church). The only real complaint is that we didn't get to spend too much time at each museum (as we would have if we were to go there on our own). We ate at Mercury's restaurant which was pretty good before going on the Spice tour.
The tour wasn't on a real plantation but was still interesting in that we had never seen most of the plants or spices before (except in a bottle). We got our goofy souvenirs to wear at the end of the tour. If you look at our pictures you'll see what I mean.
We had a nice dinner at a restaurant whose name I can't remember but it had an Arabic type name and was across the street from the Serena.
The last day before we left for home we went on the Jozani Forest tour. We did not feel this tour was worth the time or money. We watched the colobus monkeys for a little bit, did a short walk in the forest then an even shorter walk in a nearby mangrove swamp. Our guide was not very good which could have made a big difference.
After the tour we were taken to the Mtoni Marine hotelfor lunch. The lunch was expensive and not good. I would definitely recommend that people not go here to eat.
After eating we started what would be the long journey home (which took over 28 hours total). We drove to the airport, waited around 2 hours for our flight, had a 30 minute flight to Dar es Salam, had a 4 hour layover in Dar, a 9 hour flight to Amsterdam, a 3 hour layover in Amsterdam and a 9-10 hour flight to Atlanta. It was bad but not as bad as it looks now.
Day 14: Fly Zanzibar to Atlanta
Goodbye Africa!

Congratulations on a great choice of honeymoon. Access2Tanzania did a fine job for you and you can't blame them for the tse tse flies.
On to the photos. -

Sounds like an excellent honeymoon. Thank you for the report and photos.
I also got really bitten by tsetses in the western corridor. First trip they didn't bothered me nearly so much. Second trip I had what seemed to be a more allergic reaction. They can put a damper on a holiday.
Congratulations to you and Kori! I wish you many years of joy and travel. -

You two look very happy in that first photo. Many good closeups of zebra, lions. That baby baboon in Manyara was adorable. Mating vultures, now that's a new one! It looked like the elephant was using the water's buoyancy to help him with the same task. Do you know what the last monkeys were, probably near Zanzibar? Beautiful creatures and your shots of them were so clear.

Hi atravelynn,
The pictures at the end were Red Colobus monkeys and were taken in the Jozani Forest in Zanzibar. We were able to get very close to take the clear photos.
Thanks for the comments on the photos!

I hope your reaction to the tsetse fly bites wasn't too bad. That could put quite a damper on things.
I was more worried about mosquitoes before going over there, but we had almost no problems with them.

San Diego Zoo sends panda to China
SAN DIEGO – A giant panda born at the San Diego Zoo is being sent to China.
Yun Zi was crated up and driven to Los Angeles on Thursday in preparation for the flight. His keeper and a veterinarian will accompany him.
The zoo's pandas are on loan from the Chinese government, which decides where zoo-born offspring go after they turn 3. Yun Zi turned 4 in August.
The zoo prepared Yun Zi for the trip by making the special bread he'll eat in China instead of the kibble used in San Diego. He's also been fattened up to deal with the cooler temperatures of the mountains where he'll live.
China is trying to breed and preserve the pandas. Only about 1,600 are believed to remain in the wild.

Chalong @ Tanjong Pagar Centre – AWESOME Charcoal Grilled Meat Bowls!
When I first tried Chalong's charcoal grilled meat bowls at Tanjong Pagar Centre, I was literally blown away by how delicious it tasted. This is definitely one of my favourite eateries in Singapore! Chalong specializes in awesome charcoal grilled meats that are cooked in the acclaimed Josper Charcoal Oven, and smoked with apple wood to give it more depth and flavour. The chef also uses the Sous vide cooking technique, where food is cooked at a controlled temperature under vacuum in a hot water bath. The control of heat allows consistency in temperature of the cooked meats, ensuring premium quality every time. Continue reading

If you are a long time reader, you will know that I love making wreaths and using them around the house year round. With the holidays in full swing I wanted to have a little fun with decorating so I decided a wreath accent wall would be a fun way to get festive but instead of traditional colors and style of wreaths I transformed everyday things into some fast, simple and pretty wreaths for the wall!
tinsel wreath: wrap tinsel around a wreath form and you have simple wreath with lots of sparkle.
yarn wrapped wreath: wrap a wreath form with colorful yarn.
butcher paper flowers wreath: I created a simple version of my butcher paper wreath from a few years ago.
wrapping paper wreath: wrap a wreath form with wrapping paper.
gold leaves wreath: spray paint leaves to transform them into something chic and festive.
TIP: There are all kinds of things that can be used for a wreath form- styrofoam, wire, embroidery hoop (my favorite) even cardboard.
p.s. Today, Monday is the last day to save $10 off all my online classes!

There's a lot to take in.
So here I am now in Morzine. Arrived yesterday at about 10am which was a total of 21 hours travelling since I left my house. The ride was not what you would call comfy....There were 8 people in the minibus and a hell of alot of luggage. People had to share seats and were tightly packed with luggage. But we arrived in one piece :)
After a short nap we had a nice meal kindly provided by Emma and Olly...with caaake :D
We all sat down and chilled out together, it was nice to chat to the people I will be working in not in the confines of the cramped minivan. After a few (ahem) bottles of wine everyone was getting on well and people slouched off to bed.
We are currently temporarily housed in a different chalet to the one I will be working in while we all go through training together, and sharing a room with the legend that is Glenda Bottomley :D Definately regretted having the nap when we got in as neither of us got any sleep that night and ended up watching Wallie till 6am....
Am definitely flagging now.
Olly has gone through the details of what our jobs entail today...and its a lot to take in. Makes me feel pretty nervous bout starting, but Im working with some awesome people so I have a good feeling bout it all :)
Snow is Due to fall this Friday...have got my fingers crossed.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Credit Suisse <CSGN.S> has placed five employees on leave while it carries out an internal investigation related to tax matters, the Swiss bank said on Sunday.
Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported earlier the bank's action was in connection with a U.S. investigation into Credit Suisse's Israeli unit over possible tax evasion.
"Credit Suisse is carrying out an internal investigation relating to tax matters," the bank said in a statement. "The review is focusing on employee conduct."
Media reports first surfaced in June that the U.S. Department of Justice was conducting a probe to determine whether Credit Suisse employees in Israel helped dual Israeli and U.S. citizens to evade American taxes.
Credit Suisse did not comment on further details of the investigation.

Just what I wanted in a well designed boot.
They arrived faster than anything I've ever ordered over the net. They are designed in a user friendly fashion and look light years ahead of other boots. I have seldom been totally satisfied with a product but this one is excellent. I've not been happy with most styles of shoes and boots that have a heel or lip that juts out because I tend to catch them on rebar or steps. These have a recessed heel and a lip that covers the toe. It's thoughtful of work conditions and such. And the zipper on the side is revolutionary in design. You should really have these in the store and not just web exclusive. Whoever designed them is a genius. Thank you.

So, I began by cutting each pillow case in half. Here it is inside out with the top of the case on the right and the bottom half on the left. I folded over the newly cut edge of the bottom half and sewed a 1 inch hem. The top half was already open so I just sewed the cut edge closed.
I turned them right side out and had two bags!
I printed some simple labels on card stock and punched a hole in the corner.
(I cut a hole in the side of the top hem of each bag and ran some twine all the way through to cinch it closed.)
We ended up putting in a bit more than we listed on the tag
Almost all of the items came from the Dollar Store or Target dollar bins....with the exception of the sheets. I grabbed the single flat queen sheets from Walmart. Each bag cost me around $20 total.
To distinguish each bag and keep all the items from getting jumbled, I cut out the first letter of each family's last name in some colorful fabric. We had 2 families with "C" so I used a blue gingham for the family with all boys.
I laid down some paper on the kitchen floor and sprayed a little spray adhesive on the back of each letter.
I quickly stuck it to the front of the bag and we were in business!

Genre: EDM
Additional Styles: House, Progressive House, and Artist Series
Loopmasters welcomes the Benjamin Pedersen AKA Kid Massive to our Artist series with a 1.8GB collection of 10 song kits suitable for all Main Room House and EDM producers.
Massive EDM features 10 complete song kits including Synth Melodies, Drums, Bass and SFX. Each Kit comes with intelligently labeled long evolving audio stems. The Collection also contains extra one shot material to complement each of the ten kits. MIDI files of most of the Melodic content is included.
In Detail - 1.8GB of 24Bit 44.1Khz loops and sounds including 10 Full Song Kits with 17 Bass Stems, 62 Music Stems, 440 Drum Stems, 26 SFX Loops, 1 Vocal Loops, 45 Extra Drum Loops, 11 Bass Stabs, 24 Synth Shots, 14 SFX Hits, 41 Srum Shots, 43 MIDI Files, 233 Rex2 Files and 49 Soft Sampler Patches for Kontakt, Halion, Exs24, Nnxt and Sfz formats.
Proudly flying the flag for Denmark and electronic music, Kid Massive has had quite the impressive career to date. With productions supported by dance elite such as Tiesto, David Guetta, Nicky Romero and Hardwell, Kid Massive's stock as a DJ/Producer/Remixer is very much on the rise.
His signature sound of driving and often vocal-driven big room house has appeared on a host of major dance labels including Revealed, Strictly Rhythm, Mutants and Harem, whilst also being stamped on remixes for Sony Music artists in the UK, Australia and Japan.
KM's releases have been prominent fixtures on Beatport, Australian ARIA and UK Club Charts, with airplay on national and global radio stations like BBC Radio 1 in the UK and Sirius FM in the US, further cementing the Dane's position as an important part of the EDM scene.
"I was really excited about being asked to create this sample pack for Loopmasters, as I have been a huge fan of their products for a long time. My approach to creating these kits is exactly the same way as when I make my own Kid Massive material. I always start with the main hook / groove and then build on that if i feel it works. This collection focuses on big room EDM tracks but I have also added a few driving tunes with a more techy edge, I love to mix it up and this pack is a great reflection of what you would hear in my DJ sets, lots of hooks, big drops and driving beats".
If you're looking for powerful club ready sounds and samples that reflect the current sound of EDM check out this collection.
