Planting the Corn.We started the process of planting the corn,today the 24th of August 2011.It looks like the original information that I got about when corn is to be planted was wrong.I was told that the corn has to be on the ground by the 16th of August.But there was a lot of rain during this period.That was bad for the seedlings.I did about a third of the planting today and I will continue in the days to come.My plan is to get everything on the ground by the end of this month.
We had to go to the market to purchase some seedlings for the planting.It looks like the ones that were lying around in the house had gone bad.I paid one hundred and fifty francs CFA for the seedlings to continue the planting.
The seedlings that I purchased in town were planted on the twenty six of August 2011.So the area in front of the house is all taking care of.All I have to do is take care of the piece of land that is close to the stream.Everything should be done before the last day of the month of August.
Yesterday the 29th of August 2011 I put down 40 of the seedlings that I had bought from the market.This is after I saw a seedling that I had planted a couple of days before popping out of the drown.I had to go to Buea today August 30th to purchase some medications.Before I went though I put down another 40 seedlings on the ground.That would make it a total of eighty seedlings in a period of two days.I am hoping that the first of September would be the last day that I put anymore seedlings into the ground.
My plans to make the first of September the last day that I put any more seedlings into the ground did not work.The corn is beginning to shoot out of the ground.That is the good news.The bad news is that the rain is interfering quite a bit.Planting corn in August-September is quite different from planting in the early months of the year.During the early part of the year,you are praying for rain to fall,while at the later part of the year you are praying to get some sunshine.

Portugal versus Brazil-The under 20 world cup finals in Columbia is going to be an all latina affair between two time winner Portugal versus four time winner Brazil.In semi-final match ups yesterday both teams made it by beating their opponents by 2 goals to zero.Portugal got first half goals from Danilo and Nelson Oliveira for their victory over France.The Portuguese team frustrated the French team who despite their brilliant play could not find the back of the net.In fact the Portuguese team was playing their sixth match in a row without conceding a goal.The only goals that have gone through the net of their goal keeper is during penalty shootouts with Argentina. That is the team that came close to knocking them out of the competition.
Brazil has been brilliant throughout the competition and yesterday was no exception.They toyed with the Mexicans for eighty minutes before the goals started to come.Henrique connected with two brilliant goals,the first a beautiful header and the second a brilliant finish with his right leg for the final margin of victory. The first goal was at the 80th minute and the second was at the 84th minute of play.With two teams that are tactically sound we should be looking forward to an excellent finals come Sunday the 21st of August 2011.If I have to make a prediction,I would say go with Brazil.They seem to have the ability to come up with goals when needed.

Processing my Winnings.
I got a notification from Microsoft Corporation that I have won a total of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds last week and right now I am in the process of trying to claim the money. The letter came to my email box from a British Bank that has a branch in Scotland. The initial email that came to me requested some personal information like name, address, occupation, date of birth, country of birth and country of residence. It also required me to be very careful as to the keeping of the information that is being sent to me over the internet. I send the initial information and got a response right away from the contact person in the
Scottish bank. Since I live overseas, it was explained to me that the best way for me to get my money would be through an electronic money transfer. So that would require me to provide information from my bank. I went ahead and send that information, together with my contact information again that included a telephone number from which I could be reached. I went ahead and send that information and then I got a message that everything seems to be okay except that I have to send in some money for a processing fee: The processing fee was about close to 800 pounds. Where I come from that is not a little bit of money. It translates into about five hundred thousand francs in my currency. I do not have that type of money and I send an email that they should deduct the amount from my winnings. The last email had suggested that due to some legal issues, the bank does not operate in such a manner. That they can not deduct their fees from my winnings before sending me the rest of the money. I still went ahead and send a reply to the email explaining my situation. So right now I am waiting to hear from the bank as to their final decision. One thing is clear though. I do not have a processing fee of close to five hundred thousand in my currency to ship overseas. I have been using Microsoft software now for close to a little bit more that two decades. Since my days in college. So I am waiting to see how all to these would play out.
I seem to have come to a standstill hear and the reason is that the processing fee for me to collect my winnings to not something that I can afford right now. I have been corresponding with my contact person overseas and they wanted to know how much I could come up with so that they can put up the rest of the money. The problem is that I have been out of work for so long now that money is a real issue. That might be bound to change though because I just called on a job lead that is in need of an accountant and they said that I should come down to the office on Saturday or on Monday . What I would do is show up to the place on Monday and make sure that I get the job. The money itself is not going to be an issue. Because just to get back into the job market, I would be willing to take a very big pay cut. My feeling is that once I start working the job offers would flow in and hopefully I would not be having money issue problems anymore. Back to the Microsoft winning .There is a suggestion that I should let a charitable organization get the money if I can not collect it. What I am going right now is looking up some charitable organizations and attempt to contact them and see whether they could come up with the amount needed for the processing fee.

The NBA in the 2000s
Trying to compare the NBA as it is now with say the 1980s and the 1990s. In the 1980s the league was struggling and in came two superstars from the college rank. Magic Erving Johnson from Michigan state and Larry Bird from Indiana state. After going head to head in the 1983 NCAA championship they both headed for the pros and they would be responsible for carrying the league to a new height. In fact lifting it out of a possible bankruptcy. They were two great teams, the Boston Celtics from the East and the Los Angeles Lakers from the West. You could make a case for teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks from the East and the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs from the West. But basically it was Boston in the East and Los Angeles Lakers from the West.
In the 1990s there was sort if the changing of the guard with the Chicago Bulls emerging from the East. In the West, a number of teams emerge that included the Phoenics Suns, the Utah Jazz and to a lesser extend, the San Antonio Spurs began to make their move. In the East you could make a case for Detroit who won back to back championships before the Chicago Bulls would make their run that would include six championships. Teams that made runs at a championship falling just short at the finals included Philly and the New York Knicks.
In the year 2000s the West seems to be the place where all the teams with championships aspirations were coming from. There were the Spurs, and then the Los Angeles Lakers who won the championship rings, with teams like Dallas, Sacramento, Seattle and Portland making runs at a championship.

Paul Biya gets sworn in as President of the Republic of Cameroon for another 7 year term.
The CPDM still rules in this country as it ran away with the past October elections.The opposition was defeated handily and their current display was worse than their showing 7 yrs ago.The current President's party got 79.2 percent of the votes.The closest competition came from SDF who get a mere 10.2 percent of the votes.That is down form the 17.8 percent that they got seven years ago.
This is the seventh time that Paul Biya is been sworned in as President of this country that is located in the Central part of Africa.His first sworn in was in 1982,the next one in 1984,then 1988,then 1992,then 1997,then 2004 and lastly 2011.There was not much noise generated from this particular swearing in ceremony.
According to Radio France International no sitting head of state showed up for the swearing in ceremony.No opposition candidate was around especially the runner-up Ni John Fru NDI.My guess would be that the people of Cameroon are just tired of the guy and would allow him to rule and die in office.A lot of noise has been made in terms of promises and everybody in the nation would be waiting for the country to be transformed into a work in progress as the President has promised.

I went to Buea to purchase some medication that I have been taking.There are three of them altogether including one of them that is very had to find called Artane.I started to take the medications in the month of July.So this August will be the second month that I will be taking the medication.Started clearing the farm around the house to plant some corn.I started on the 10th day of the month of August.Hopefully I will finish doing it in a day or two.
I guy came to the house on the tenth of August.His purpose was to distribute free of charge some medications that are suppose to be of help to us.One of them was a medication that included four tablets and the order one was a medication that included just one drug.For food, I had some bread that I purchased in mile 17 while I was in Buea.That was for breakfast.For the rest of the day,porridge coco-yams was prepared.That is what I am going to consume for the rest of the day and into the night.I had the chance to watch the Cameroon under 20 junior lions play their matches right up till the point when they were eliminated.They registered the following results.1-1 with New-Zealand.0-1 defeat to Portugal and a 1-0 victory over Uruguay.In the knockout stages they went down 0-3 on penalty shootouts after the game had ended 1-1 on regular time and prolongation.
Entered day two of preparing the farm for planting maize.I worked on it this morning and I will be completing the work sometime today the 11th of August 2011.Last night and earlier this morning I stayed up to watch the under-20 world cup that is taking place in Columbia. A 52nd minute goal from Egbedi from Nigeria got them past England to the quarterfinals.Brazil got second half goals from Henrique,Gabriel Silva and DUDU for a convincing 3-0 victory over Saudi Arabia.France got a late goal from Griezeman to make it a 1 nil victory over Ecuador.The fourth game that featured Spain versus Korea Republic was the one with all the suspense.The game was 0-0 in regular and extra time and it went to penalty shootouts.After the first round of kicks both teams were tied at 4-4.Sudden death in the penalty shootout kicked in and it is there that Spain ended up winning by a final margin of 7-6.I eat garri in the morning to help me take my medication.After that I ate some corn that was in the house.
The farm where we plan on planting corn is now completed.I finished the job today the 11th of August but not without some incident.I ran into a very small snake at the very last area where there was some grass to be taken care of.Luckily I was using a machete in this part of the farm.I used the machete to get rid of the snake.Killed it on the spot and left it in the farm.As I earlier mentioned it was a very small snake.I also today bought some chin-chin for the household.This is the fourth one that I have bought within the past two weeks.This is what we use in the household as our snack.
Today the 12 of August had me going out to replenish the chin-chin that was consumed last night.I wanted to start planting the corn since the farm is been cleared but my mother advised that it was not yet time for the planting of corn.It look like I cleared the farm a little bit too early.I just have to wait and see.Hopefully by the time it comes to planting the corn,I would not have to do any more clearing of the farm.We watched some preseason National Football League highlights.Everybody is claiming that the Philly Eagles have assembled a dream time.So it is an understatement to say that the Eagles are loaded and they will be soaring this coming season.They beat the Baltimore Ravens 13-6 for their first victory of the preseason.The other score that I got for a preseason game was the Dallas Cowboys 24-23 over the Denver Broncos.
The preseason continues in the National Football League with the Washington Redskins beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-7.In an exciting encounter the Miami Dolphins defeated the Atlanta Falcons 28-23.

Cameroon Junior Lions-The junior lions of Cameroon actually had a chance to advance to the quarter finals of the world cup being held in Columbia.They scored what I thought would be the winning goal with ten minutes left to play through a powerful shot by center forward man Frank Ohandza.But poor marking in the defensive area allowed Mexico to equalize just two minutes later.They now have to park their bags and start heading back home.The equalizer push the game into extra time that the team from Mexico dominated.After 30 minutes of extra time play the game went into the dreaded penalty kicks.It was here that the lions failed miserably converting none of the three penalty kicks that they took.Mexico scored on all three of the penalty shots that they took given them a deserved three goals to nil penalty shoot-out victory.

How far can they go.-That is the question that everybody is asking as the junior lions of Cameroon yesterday night made it to the round of 16 teams in the on going fifa junior world cup in Columbia.The competition did not start out too well for them.They draw 1-1 with a New Zealand team that everybody taught they could easily defeat.They got their goal in that match through a penalty kick.A defensive error though cost them two vital points in that game as their defense panicked and let in an own goal through a miscommunication between the defense man and the goalkeeper.
In match day two things got worse.They made another crucial defensive error that allow Nelson Oliveira of Portugal to find the back of their net just 20 minutes into the game for the score of the match 1-0 in favor of Portugal.So after two matches the junior lions of Cameroon had just one little point to show for their effort.
Going into the last game of their group play,they absolutely had to come out with a victory to advance to the knockout stages of the competition.That is exactly what they did by beating Uruguay by one goal to nil.The goal came in the 28 minute of play through a nice combination of passes,capped by a beautiful finish by number 8 shirt man Emmanuel Mbongo,who was making his first appearance in the competition.The junior lions of Cameroon thus picked up three points from their last group match and automatically qualified as the second placed team from this group.As the runners up with a total of four points they would play the runners-up from group F which is Mexico.

थे Rain
What does it bring-The rain brings in the mud in the Tiko town municipality.To combat the mud you need to get a pair of shoes that is adaptable to it.They are called rain boots.That is a name that has been around so long as I can remember.The boots allow to venture out with ease into road conditions that would ruin any other type of shoes that you decide to go out with.You would also need to purchase an umbrella that you would need throughout the period that the rain is around.Do not be fooled by the occasional sunshine that you would see appear once in a while during the rain.The sun is really deceptive because the whether changes in a heart bit.For example two days ago heading into town,I left the umbrella behind because the weather looked okay getting out of the house.It changes drastically and I had to make a u-turn to go get the umbrella.
Some of the advantages of the rain-It does give people around the area an opportunity to do some farming.In our house,we used the side and back side of the house to grow some crops.Corn was the main cash crop that we grew.The one that we planted in March has already been consume by the household.We are looking forward to plant some more just before the 16th of this month hits.
Another advantage that the rain brings in the area is that it drives away the mosquitoes that show up once places are dried up.Part of the problem with the mosquitoes is that people throw away their trash in an area close to were we live.So the trash accumulated into a very big rubbish.There were times when it was disgusting just to get close to the area.I decided to do something and started to clean away some of the rubbish before the rains came. What happened is that once the rubbish was pushed into the little stream the rains came and carried away all of the mess.Now you come to the area and you would not recognize it if you were around during the mess. The rainy season brought some powerful doze of water that practically carried away all of the rubbish.People now come and take a bath in the area.The stream if you can call it that flows nicely and the area is very habitable this time of the year.What I need to figure out is what to do once the rains are gone and there is nothing to carry the dirt away.We have talked to the neighbours about the situation,trying to get them to stop throwing trash in the area to no avail.We might need to go to the area council and get some type of permission from them to get the neigbours to toe the line .
Opportunity to make some cash-I got some help in the house and what we did is remove a lot of the stones that were inside the stream,part of the reason that people could even come and take a bath in the area.The stones that we removed,I managed to sell it to one of our neigbours who is planning to erect a wall on one side of a building that is under construction.The money was not too much, but it is better than sitting around and waiting for manner to come from heaven.
I get to plant corn twice a year.The first planting was already done in the month of March and harvested in the month of June.I am planning on doing the second planting some time in the middle of this month,which is around the 18 of August 2011.
Merchants make some money-With the rain constantly fall merchants have the opportunity to make some money.That is merchants that are in the business of selling umbrellas,rain boots and rain coats.Umbrellas and rain boots are a very popular buy during this time of the year.Rain coats used to be very popular back in the days when I was still growing up.That seem to have changed nowadays.You do not get to see them a lot around now.The people that you see wearing them are the workers of a company called CDC and another corporation called Demonte.
The Mosquitoes disappear with the coming of rain.-When the rain comes,the mosquitoes tend to disappear.This is because first of all the is not much standing water for them to breed on.Secondly the dirt that used to lie around has been carried away by the flowing water.So with the rain been around you can start having some sound sleep.

I get to plant corn twice a year.The first planting was already done in the month of March and harvested in the month of June.I am planning on doing the second planting some time in the middle of this month,which is around the 18 of August 2011.
Merchants make some money-With the rain constantly fall merchants have the opportunity to make some money.That is merchants that are in the business of selling umbrellas,rain boots and rain coats.Umbrellas and rain boots are a very popular buy during this time of the year.Rain coats used to be very popular back in the days when I was still growing up.That seem to have changed nowadays.You do not get to see them a lot around now.The people that you see wearing them are the workers of a company called CDC and another corporation called Demonte.
The Mosquitoes disappear with the coming of rain.-When the rain comes,the mosquitoes tend to disappear.This is because first of all the is not much standing water for them to breed on.Secondly the dirt that used to lie around has been carried away by the flowing water.So with the rain been around you can start having some sound sleep.

Election कामरूं Update
I went to the Elecam office at Tiko to find out how the voter registration process is proceeding. I had already registered for the election last September.I walk into the office and chatted with one of the representation.I was trying to find out when the voter registration cards were going to be available.The Elecam office had a display of how the cards would look in one if their door posters.The rep told me that once the cards are available,they would come to the quarters and distribute them.I figured out that you could also stop by their offices and pick up the card once they are available.The information that I got suggested that they are stilled been manufactured in the factory.

For the second match in a row a defensive mistake cost the junior lions of Cameroon some points.This time around though,they were not ahead in the score card.So to had to fight late at night to try and get an equalizer that never came their way.Oliveira of Portugal capitilise on the soft header by defense man Mvom and got his side the lone goal of the match at the 19th minute of play.The scoreline could have been worse but for some good saves by the Cameroonian goalkeeper.The junior lions now occupy the last position of their group of four.To advance to the next round of the competition,the would have to beat Uruguay on friday and with four points,the could sneak in as one of the four third place teams to advance to the field of sixteen.The first two teams of the group of six atomatically advance together with the best four third place teams.

तुएस्दय थे २न्द ऑफ़ अगस्त.
The raining season is still around.What we have now is called the August rain.That is the one that keeps falling and falling with no set pattern.If you plan on going out you have to possess an umbrella.Very essential this time of year.The rain that fell starting from last night was not the sticking type,thank God for that.It would have made the whole area too muddy for anybody to venture out.It kind of clear some of the mud that had accumulated over the days.

थे डे after
This is the day after the GCE advanced and ordinary results had been published.In addition to getting the results over the radio and on the news papers the next day you can also go to one of the internet places and get the results.The rain is not as bad today as it has been for the pass seven days or so.The rain protector that I bought is good but not large enough.I paid about two dollars for it.I guessed that I got what I paid for.I am looking to replace it in the few days or so.The one that I am using now will be passed over to the kids in the house.They can always use another umbrella considering the fact that right now they are three of them sharing but one.
