Formula One racing is principally the summit of go karting. It’s the professional configuration of the sport in its entirety. Formula 1 is global phenomenon, a business empire that rakes in millions & millions of $ yearly from publicity, sponsorship, & television income channels. Qualified racing drivers with a millionaire existence race these superb motor vehicles that are unmatched with technical treats - everything from hard to produce lightweight frames that slide the machine to tires with unsurpassed grooving style that exemplify the tremendous speed on the race circuit. Catch up with the latest Formula One Race Results.

There is currently no other sport that best demonstrates the term “universal sport” like Formula 1 motor sport. Several countries serve as active members in shaping the Formula 1 event - Malaysia for instance, is a hot spot for motor racing (Fernando Alonso, a Spanish-born Formula 1 motor racing driver driving for Team Renault recently won a motor race there) & Italy plays an imperative responsibility in designing & making first class, top-of-the-line go karts. Rivalry is common place in Formula One - giving an edge of excitement with every zip of the bend & nitrous boost of the engine.

Formula One motor cars can be summed up in two words: technological marvels. These shiny, low riding gems travelling around laps at speeds around 220 mph consist of nothing more than simply a framework, an engine, and 4 wheels. For a start, the engine is placed behind the cockpit as opposed to standard motor vehicles. Find great offers on fishing equipment.

Chamonix Haute Savoie is a unique town with the impressive Mont Blanc and jagged glaciers. The group like to go snowboarding or from time to time visiting the Aiguille du Midi. I sometimes travel from Compton and stay at a Chamonix catered chalet for the duration of my break.

I previously visited The Sutton Place Hotel Edmonton unfortunately it never matched its marketing: The Sutton Place Hotel Edmonton is located in downtown Edmonton, one block from the Arts District and close to over 400 shops and restaurants.The hotel has a few dining outlets on the premises offering gourmet cuisine. Its location offers easy access to numerous Edmonton restaurants in the downtown area. Both Self Parking and Valet Parking are available for a fee. A swimming pool is located on the top floor of the hotel.The hotel is in the center of Edmonton’s art and theater communities. Within walking distance are the Winspear Concert Hall, Citadel Theatre, Edmonton Art Gallery, Stanley Milner Library, Churchill Square, and Rice Howard Way.

However in Chamonix Haute Savoie France the lodge is invariably exceptional. Likewise dining out in our groups favorite French restaurant, Golden Phoenix, eating blackened redfish is a treat. Chamonix Mont Blanc is a large enough place to insure that there is plenty for the snowboarder to do. Amongst other things it includes a spa and a range of terraced caf©s, Chamonix provides a mix of snowboarding, old town charm and tourist attractions which not many French ski resorts can beat.

India is a huge country with over one billion residents, but their airline market is not one of the biggest in the world so finding discount flights to India can sometimes be challenging. Being on the other side of the world from the United States doesn’t help much either. Usually you can get decent fares from London to India, but also from Paris or Frankfurt since the major European airlines are usually your best bet.You can also fly on one of the new Middle Eastern airlines that will stop in the UAE or Kuwait. They’ll often have the best fares from Europe, so consider searching the airlines that connect through that region. The two cheapest Indian cities to fly into are Mumbai, which used to be called Bombay, and Delhi, which is sometimes called New Delhi by people who don’t realize New Delhi is just one district in Delhi. Air India has good deals and they are reliable too, which is a bit of a contrast to nearly everything else you’ll find when you do land in the country. The Taj Mahal is in the city of Agra, which is south of Delhi, so if that’s your main goal fly into that city.

Planting White Pine Trees are old standbys. These are the
easiest of the pines to plant. The foliage is graceful and
forgiving. Not easily damaged by toy balls and kids in your back
yard. If you are a do it yourselfer, this is a good choice to
start with for creating privacy screens and buffers, or as a
specimen plant. White pines. Whenever I think of white pines, I
remember hunting when I was a kid and standing near trees that
were giants. Now every pine tree I plant, I can invision those
days in the deep woods and those grand trees and hope someone
else will have that same enjoyment. These trees will help you
too in establish a desired vision to your landscape.

Beyond their size, white pines also fill important ecological
niches. They grow across broad ranges of forest and urban
conditions, finding much of North America to their liking.

White Pine trees need protection from deer, disease, insects,
and competing weeds and shrubs. The better your weed control the
better your trees will grow. When seedlings are planted, it best
to plant them with large spacings to allow more light to the
plant. If these trees are planted in shade, they tend to be more
open. White pines are used around new construction because they
perform in a wide range of soil conditions. If you have
compacted soil from new construction, we suggest smaller trees
of 3-5′ height.

All people handling seedlings and small trees need to help with
the life support of your plants. Seedlings are like fish out of
water and need care which is often overlooked between the time
the seedlings are lifted and transplanted. Improper care means
higher mortality. Do not try and reinvent the wheel. You must
protect seedling from moisture and temperature extremes, as well
as physical damage. Seedlings are living and should be handled
carefully. For a higher survival rate, treat trees carefully and
plant them immediately. I like to have a backup plan for
planting if the weather turns bad. I will sometimes switch from
lining out the seedlings to potting them up if I realize that
the soil conditions will not be right for an extended lenght of
time. If planting must be delayed a few days, keep the plants in
a cold, protected place with air circulation between the trees.
Keep the trees out of the rain and wind. To check if the trees
need water, feel the media at the roots.. If it isn’t damp,
water the trees and allow the excess water to drain. In cool,
damp weather, the biggest threat to these trees is from mold.
Try to keep out of soil seedlings moist by either restricting
water loss with a water vapor barrier or by wetting the roots at
regular intervals. While handling or planting try to reduce
temperature and air movement around the seedlings. Windy days
can dry out seedlings so consider waiting for calmer weather.
Once your soil conditions are correct OUR FREE USE PLANTERS will
make planting a snap so its will be worth waiting for good
planting conditions.

HOW TO PLANT WHITE PINE TREES

Ideal planting days are cool and cloudy with little or no wind.
If possible, avoid planting on warm, windy days. The soil should
be moist not wet. Care in planting is more important than speed.
Make sure the roots are never allowed to become dry. Bare root
seedlings should be carried in a waterproof bag or bucket with
plenty of moist material packed around the roots to keep them
damp. Ideally, bare root boxes should be kept refrigerated or
packed in ice or snow. Don’t freeze the trees. Competition from
weeds, grass, brush or other trees is very detrimental to
survival and growth of seedlings. Choose areas free from this
competition or clear at least a three-foot square bare spot
before planting. Seedlings should not be planted under the crown
of existing trees, or closer than 6 feet to existing brush.
Avoid areas near walnut trees. Brush aside loose organic
material such as leaves, grass, etc., from the planting spot to
expose mineral soil. If organic matter gets into the planting
hole, it can decompose and leave air spaces. Roots will dry out
when they grow into these spaces. Open up the hole, making sure
the hole is deep enough for the roots to be fully extended. If
roots are curled or bunched up, the tree will not be able to
take up water correctly, will often weaken and die, or may blow
down later due to poor root structure. Take a tree out of your
planting bag or bucket only after a hole is ready. When exposed,
the fine roots can dry out in as little as 30 seconds. Seedling
shoots and roots lose water to air, roots require more
protecting.Unlike leaves ,they do not have stomata (closeable
openings on the surface of the leaves) or any waxy coatings to
help reduce water loss. If the roots apear dry they are probably
dead. Now I know you are thinking,”I will place them in a
buckect of water and store them there until planting”. This will
not work. Submerge plants for no longer that a couple of
minutes. Placing them in water cuts them off from oxygen.
Remember to remove the container before planting a containerized
tree. A helpful hint to all those new gardeners just starting is
to remember to always plant green side up. Hold the seedling in
place in the hole, making sure the roots are straight, fully
extended and that the tree is neither too shallow or too deep in
the hole. Fill hole, allowing soil to fall in around the roots.
Tamp with hands or with your heel. Don’t crush the roots by
jumping up and down around the seedling like there is a snake
curled up around the seedling. It is delicate. Fill with more
soil, if necessary, and tamp. Tamping is important. If soil is
not firmly packed around the roots, there will be air pockets
that can dry out the roots, and the seedlings may be weakly
anchored. It is far easier to plant the tree strait up then have
the tree leaning and have to adjust the tree later. (Addition of
fertilizer and plant vitamins at the time of planting is not
generally necessary.) Take your time in planting. Proper spacing
will help you grow a more valuable crop. I have tried to get
more production from a limited area by over planting and then
thinning, but I always have had trouble in harvesting ….
digging is slower and poor quality usually results for a portion
of the crop. Avoid these tree planting errors:

Tangled roots Planting too shallow Planting too deep Air pockets
Turned up roots (this is called J rooting) Planting trees that
are not tolerant of wet soils in poorly drained areas Planting
over rocks, septic tanks and leach fields, on sand mounds

CARE OF PINE TREES FOLLOWING PLANTING Check periodically to be
sure that brush, grass and other vegetation is kept under
control by mowing, mulching, spraying or a combination of these
treatments. Always obtain advice from a licensed pest control
advisor before using chemicals. You ag extension agency may
offer courses in application of chemicals. Monitoring the
appearance of your trees will help you to detect signs of
insects, diseases or other problems. Apperances also help sell
your product. Look for foliage turning yellow, new foliage
drooping or other signs of poor health. It is easier to take
successful corrective action if the problem is detected early.

Over watering is a common problem in irrigated plantations. You
probably won’t need to water more frequently than every 7-10
days. Give your trees a thorough, deep soak and then let the
soil dry out before the next watering. This encourages the roots
to grow down in search of water. Frequent, shallow watering
encourages root growth near the surface and the trees are more
dependent on irrigation and are less windfirm. Animals can be a
major cause of damage to young trees. Porcupines, gophers, mice,
rabbits, deer and cattle are the most frequent source of damage.
In many states you may have to call your game commission and get
their recomendations on legal methods to protect your crop. In
our state, you can get help from the Pa. Game Commission to kill
deer that are a threat to your seedlings or obtain a free fence
to keep deer away from your seedlings. Over the years we have
lost more trees to mice than any other animal. Put rat baits out
on a regular basis. Over the years we have lost more seedlings
and plants to mice than any other culprit including deer and
rabbitts combined. You can see other articles written by Bill
Hirst about trees, plants, and shrubs at

The quaint little balcony was large enough to accommodate two cane chairs, a table and little else. To reach it we had to climb over the ledge of our bedroom window and since the projection had no protective railing we had to be careful not to trip or fall over into the water below. Yes, the compact little perch had been grafted onto the side of our houseboat which drifted down the Backwaters of Kerala, the vibrant, living, 1500 km network of canals, estuaries and lakes that serve as the highways, by-ways and lifeline of the people who live along its banks.

We got to be very attached to our precarious positioned balcony. Here we sat, sipping a on a cold tall beer (the camera within easy reach), sailing the Kerala Backwaters and watching the lazy rural world of Kerala, India, slip by. Women washing utensils, men paddling by in carved out canoes laden with a rich harvest of bananas and coconuts, the sapphire flash of a kingfisher, buffalos being ferried across the waters, rows of large spider-like Chinese fishing nets straining the waters, the faithful in their brightest Sunday best streaming out of a chapel along the banks, children with fishing rods waving gleefully out to us, the silhouette of a toddy tapper scaling up a palm tree…

Kerala’s Backwaters are in a constant flux and like voyeurs we found ourselves peering in at the drama of everyday life in India, simple, uncomplicated and fascinating as it unraveled around us against the backdrop of lush vegetation, a virtual riot of green.

The sight of police petrol boats and white ambulance crafts cruising by and the thatched hut that houses the State Bank of India wedged between a school and a church along the banks of the waterway reminded us that the here and now meshed comfortably with unchanging tradition along Kerala’s Backwaters.

We were distracted from our musings when the houseboat attendant knocked on the door and informed us that breakfast would be served in l0 minutes. So we climbed back into our bedroom to freshen up in the attached bathroom with running water and a flushing toilet. We then strolled down to the lounge at the front of boat and feasted leisurely on a freshly prepared meal of local Kerala dishes.

We were sampling more than just the flavours of the local food; we were one of the privileged few who got an opportunity to explore the Backwaters of Kerala in a romantic little houseboat. What made the boat unique was that it was virtually a hotel unit grafted onto the structure of traditional rice boats or cargo boats known as a kettuvalloms in Malayalam, the local language of Kerala.

‘These boats are what their name suggest,’ the young lad from Kerala who was our onboard guide informed us. Kettu is to tie and vallom means boat. The kettuvallom is a boat made of wooden planks stitched or tied together by rope.

At Alumkadavu village, a traditional boat building center, we stopped briefly to explore the dry docks where these boats were repaired. Here we watched a toothless old man with thick horn-rimmed glasses skillfully stitch fresh planks into the hull of a boat. He was one of the few craftsmen who still survived; a relic of a tradition, which once seemed doomed to be sucked into the whirlpool of antiquity. The revival of interest in the kettuvallom and the Kerala Backwaters as tourist attractions, however, revived and sustained this dying art of boat building.

Fittingly enough our discovery of the Backwaters started in one of these cruise boats, which we boarded, on the outskirts of Quilon, a bustling little town on the banks of the Backwaters in south Kerala.

The weather beaten ‘captain’ of our ’ship’ welcomed us on board with a toothy grin. He understood the whims and vagaries of the Backwaters of Kerala like the proverbial back of his hand. He decided when to punt, sail or use the outboard engine. Our voyage with him was a journey into history. Before the coming of road and rail transport the Backwaters were the main arteries of Kerala on the southeast coast of India. The Kerala Backwaters provided a waterway that even the maharajas of ancient times used, their royal entourage of accompanying boats following in tow.

It was a time when cargo kettuvallom vessels laden with ivory, gold and silver, silk, rubber and spices sailed through the Kerala Backwaters for the port city of Cochin, from where they were shipped to the rest of the know world. In fact, it was Europe’s search for an alternative sea route to this land of plenty that led to the discovery of the New World. ‘They were looking for Cochin and they stumbled upon America,’ a former mayor of Cochin informed us.

The west still seeks out the treasures of Kerala: the tranquility and peace of its Backwaters. In fact, the segment of the Kerala Backwaters between Alleppey and Kumarakom in central Kerala is most popular with tourists. The other popular and shorter option is to cruise around the bustling backwater settlements of Alleppey and Kottayam near Kumarakom. Today kettuvallom houseboats have added a new dimension to Kerala’s Backawaters.

‘We are the Venice of the East.’ It is a refrain we heard repeatedly on our cruise into the heart of Kerala. However, we discovered that it was somewhat off the mark, for the Backwaters of Kerala are of much greater dimensions and the setting more rural than urban. The similarity, however, is that both romance the tourists.
