Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element has an atomic weight of 258.10. What element is being
described?
The Answer:
The element is Mendelevium (Md). Mendelevium's most stable isotope has a
half life of 51.5 days. However, only a few million atoms have ever been
produced and only by one atom at a time! There are no commercial
applications.
The winner of the weekly element quiz is Robert Welch, Moog Components
Group, and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the
week.

- Well it's time for Clumpy and Kloumpios to join me for some Canadian
wilderness camping in Algonquin Park, Ontario. What we'll do is put the
canoe on the van, load up our camping gear, and then we'll head the
North East area of Algonquin Park. We'll put in on the Barron River and
canoe up to the river to a portage point where Clumpy and Kloumpios will
be asked to portage the canoe and gear for about half a kilometer, past
some falls, until we put back into the river. What we'll do then is
canoe about a mile up stream and setup camp on a beautiful point of land
that over looks the Barron Cliffs and has a pine tree every much like
The Jack Pine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jackpine.jpeg that was
painted by Tom Thomson in 1916. I'll start fishing; they will do the
cooking and cleaning. We will relax for a few days then we'll head back
to Ottawa (given the mosquitoes don't carry us away). Dave - Maybe we can
meet you on the Ottawa River some time next week.
Week 27 Greg Munie, IPC
- Since it's getting close to time for the Abbey's grape harvest/wine
making I'll get the monks to put them up at the Abbey guest house. From
there it's just a short walk to the vineyard. Of course the food at the
Abbey may be a little, ah, Spartan, for their tastes. But I can give them
enough pruning, weeding and cleanup to do to keep them busy all week.
(Maybe I can even get them to do the water run for the vegetable garden!
They'd probably like driving the old tractor.) And for a special perk they
can have the honor of the company of Benny, the Abbey Golden Retriever!
