Brief public remarks of U.S. President Obama during a radio address on the release of the convicted Lockerbie Bomber after serving 8 yrs of a Life sentence:
"That was a mistake."
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other U.S. officials also objected to Scottish and British governments before the release.

Andy,
Figures. The one thing I didnt get you was a crank cell phone charger. The best ones are made by Freeplay Energy of the UK, US and S Africa. They are solid sturdy crank units. They make the best and most reliable gear anywhere.
http://www.freeplayenergy.com/product/freecharge12v
BTW, Freeplay now has a new line-charged Cell phone charger called the ZipCharge that should make Andrew happy :) You have to specify for what voltage you are charging for the right power supply for your area. They are good about sending out an alternate voltage power supply free if you write them at: info@freeplayenergy.com .

Chick peas are also called Garbonzo beans.
What you´ve referred to as Chat is also called Khat, an intoxicant and bush. There are numerous types of Khat, some peppy and others more dulling.

hotspringfreak commented about Choosing ATM or Bank Machine Travel Tip, On Sunday March 1st, 2009 07:02:00 AM
Other scenarios for ATM's not accepting a bank or credit card:
Hi Andy,
1.) Your card has been made inoperable by your own bank (fraud dept suspects someone has stolen your card due to an ''unusual purchase'' in perhaps an unexpected locale) and has deactivated the card.
2.) Hacker somewhere has compromised the database of a bank (matter of fact, 65,000 accounts were frozen several weeks ago by my bank (including my own) - - ATM's and banks reported ''insufficient funds'' even though the account had more than adequate 'frozen funds'. Requires a call to one's own bank to make the card work and a bank balance to read correctly once again. Fixing the card is trivial taking about 15 seconds by the banker.
YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary,

You pan or gold by separating your find into black sand, which is rich in heavier elements, like gold and heavy metals. You can sell your black sand to a refiner (after you have picked through it for gold dust, flakes and nuggets first). Depending on the geology there may be semi-precious or precious gems found in the black sand -- where I live the gems are semi-precious garnets sold as an industrial abrasive, which look like rubies. I've paid for time in the wilds this way - you may or may not get rich but it's a living.

North American 'country folk' sometimes call pools like this one which are set up as a hotspring foot baths "Corn Cookers". Meaning to soften one's 'corns' after a weary day. The locals being proper and prim while remaining fully clothed (but for their feet).
There's a Hotspring Park in N/East Thailand where they boil eggs for the Farang.

hotspringfreak commented about Efio Tiger Nut Togo Food, On Wednesday July 25th, 2007 07:04:00 AM
Tiger Nuts
Tiger nut, chufa, earth almond
(Cyperus esculentus -- Family Cyperaceae)
Tiger nuts are fruits from a perennial which, like the potato plant, sends out underground runners. It is shunned as a weed in the majority of warm countries because of its creeping, rapidly expanding roots. It was the Arabs who brought this Cyprus grass plant from Africa to Southern Europe. It is now cultivated on only a small scale in North Africa and Spain, where it is esteemed for its nutritional content, as well as its nutty almond-like taste. These rhizomes are acorn-sized and chestnut brown to blackish-brown, with a wrinkled skin.

People can retire as a "Resident Pensionado" in Panama if they have a USD $500/month income ($600 for 2, if married). Good full medical modern medical/dentalruns about $1,000/yr. No tax on auto import or household goods every 2 yrs, no taxes for 20 yrs, discounts on goods and services (with a pensionado card) of 1/3 to 1/2 throughout the country. Good roads, high speed Internet. Great fishing and beaches. Cooler temps in the mountains. Not too bad a deal.

A hand-crank or windup Cell phone charger would be nice for unreliable local power. Many varieties available now, some are dedicated phone chargers, others built-in as a feature of some LED flashlights, still other multi-LED lanterns with little radios or bigger and better potable radios with a single LED light and phone charger combination ...all windup sorts.
Freeplay's Phone Charger, also includes a barrel DC cigarette lighter charging adapter, an AC charger (either 110V, 220V or both on request) and the phone connector of your choice (also on request). Their customizable parts are free on request and are sent postage free as well. A wonderful company and the originator of dynamo hand-cranked gear.
